This past week finally marked the arrival of spring, which means long, sunny days will soon be the norm. The layers will be shed and the skin exposed, which means 'tis the season to spring clean ... your diet. So, it's time to say goodbye to those heavy dishes we craved during hibernation and say hello to light, fresh, seasonal produce.
We don't need to reminded how long and hard this winter proved. But you do need to bear in mind that the cold weather has chilling effects on our physical and mental health. Bitter climates can induce weight gain, lower your natural levels of vitamin D and serotonin, and irritate and dry your skin. Fortunately, there are natural ways to get through the last bout of cold weather unscathed, while preparing for the warm and sunny days that approach us.
With that in mind, I've rounded up some of my favorite food and drinks which naturally boost your immunity and retract your body's harrowing reaction to the cold. And, coming from someone who loves to indulge in all things food and drink, my recommendations are shaped by the guidance of two experts, an up-and-coming NYC born and bred dietician, Jessica Nagin, along with pointers from seasoned dermatologist Dr. Harold Lancer's new book, "Younger: The Breakthrough Anti-Aging Method for Radiant Skin."
The stress and anxiety we all feel when our alarm goes off can wreak havoc on our immune system. Beginning the day happy and relaxed will boost productivity and energy throughout the day. You can make a change by taking control of your diet each morning. One of the best ways to start your day is with protein. Protein is necessary for healthy skin, nails, hair, muscles, cartilage and blood, which all need a constant supply of protein for growth and repair.
When you include protein in your daily breakfast regimen, you'll stay full longer, increase your energy and will be more alert throughout the day. Below are some ideal proteins to add to your (new) breakfast regime:
• Brazil Nuts: According to Dr. Lancer, brazil nuts are high in selenium, a mineral that repairs cell damage and slows down the skin's aging process. Nuts are also rich in fiber and antioxidants.
• Berries: Dr. Lancer points out that berries are loaded with anti-oxidants that neutralize free radicals, ultimately increasing collagen production in the skin. "The darker the berry is, the higher the content of Vitamin C and E," so pay special attention to the color of your berries the next time you are at the farmer's market!
• Avocados: Avocados are a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids (healthy fats), biotin, and vitamin E, which both combat dry skin.
• Eggs: Eggs are a great source of protein, rich in iron and biotin, which keep your hair full and your skin healthy. Try eating just the whites to improve cholesterol levels. And, buy organic eggs. One of Dr. Lancer's dietary do's to improve the quality of your skin is to only eat organic produce. Non-Organic produce contains antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicide — and all of these 'cides' are designed to be toxic.
It is important to stay hydrated throughout the day if you want to improve your overall beauty and well-being. Jessica Nagin emphasizes that drinking tons of water is essential for our cells to process food into energy, keeping you from feeling dehydrated and sluggish, ultimately maintaining energy levels throughout the day.
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can also lead to weight loss. Some studies have shown that people often confuse hunger with dehydration, and eat fewer empty calories if they are well hydrated. Let's put it this way — if you wait until you are actually thirsty to drink water, then you are dehydrated, even if you don't know it.
Dr. Lancer recommends making water your go-to beverage. Staying hydrated throughout the stay is essential for beautiful skin and good health. You need water to increase blood circulation, digest food, and flush out toxins. Dr. Lancer advises men to drink about 3 liters (thirteen cups) of water a day and women 2.2 liters (nine cups) of water a day. And, if you exercise consistently, you need to drink more to compensate for the fluid loss.
Being well hydrated will have immediate effects on your skin — instantly altering the effects of dehydration such as overtly brittle dry skin and dark circles under the eyes — increasing collagen production and cell turnover while stabilizing and moisturizing the skin barrier.
3. Eat Consistent Meals/Snacks Throughout The Day
If you are like me and find that you are hungry every few hours, then listen closely ... don't wait for your next big meal ... and snack away! Healthy snacking throughout the day eliminates your cravings for fatty foods and increases your metabolism, ultimately aiding in weight loss!
Carrots and Celery are two of my favorites.
If you're feeling a bit sluggish and need some natural sugar, opt for some of Dr. Lancer's recommended superfoods: any fruits like guava, kiwi, mango and melons; a seaplant like kelp; nuts and seeds like pomegranate seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts or brazil nus; or, if you crave something really rich, dark chocolate.
Guava is loaded with vitamin C, the antioxidant that increases collagen production in your skin.
Kiwi is the most nutrition-dense fruit. It is filled with all sorts of vitamins and minerals like fiber, phytonutrients, folic acid, vitamin C and vitamin E, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc!
Mango is filled with a ton of vitamin E, which improves your skin quality and is a vitamin-C-rich fruit that helps alkalize the body, improves digestion, and supports a healthy immune system.
Melons are high in water content and we need as much water as we can get!
The underwater plant, kelp, has high levels of vitamins C and E, which protect fats in the skin's moisture barrier from free radical damage.
Pomegranate seeds are rich in ellagic acid and punicalagin, which also fight free radical damage to the skin.
Dr. Lancer explains that sunflower seeds have phytoestrogens that prevent the breakdown of collagen and strengthen the skin's lipid barrier.
Walnuts are high in omega-3 acids, which, according to Jessica Nagin, are heart-healthy polyunsaturated fats that keep stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline in check, have anti-inflammatory properties that can relieve skin diseases like eczema, have cognitive benefits, help satiate us (and ultimately control our appetite), and are thought to decrease depression and anxiety.
And, Brazil nuts are high in selenium, a mineral that repairs cell damage and slows down the skin's aging process.
And I'm not including dark chocolate on this list just because I love it. Dark chocolate is actually good for you! The resveratrol and flavinols have been proven to lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, protect against moderate sun damage, and improve the health of your heart. However, make sure you choose the right dark chocolate! The good-for-your-health chocolate is the only the kind that contains about 70% cacao or cocoa.
4. Juice to give your digestive system a break
A great way to increase your veggie consumption while also giving your digestive tract some time to relax is by juicing. You can drink the equivalent of a mountain of vegetables in a single glass and receive all of the health benefits of vitamins, enzymes, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. Fresh vegetable juice flushes out toxins, oxygenates the body, and fights inflammation. Dr. Lancer notes that toxins and stress make your body acidic, which wreak a lot of havoc on your system. On an internal level, drinking green juice neutralizes the acid and rebalances your alkaline levels. And, externally, green juice prevents free radical damage and premature aging.
In fact, the benefits of green juice are so extensive, everyone should include at least one green juice a day in his/her daily regimen.
|Vitamin D is absolutely essential to reduce your risk of diabetes, or lower your chances of heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis. The most natural way we can receive ample sources of vitamin D is from natural sunlight. But, if you can't get outdoors during the sunnier days, try eating Jessica Nagin's healthy vitamin D-rich foods like shiitake mushrooms (irradiated), cod liver oil, salmon, mackerel, and sardines. And, Nagin shared an interesting, fun fact: the back of our legs is the site of the greatest photoactivation of vitamin D.
You can get your daily juice intake by making or buying one green juice a day. Or, you can opt to try a juice cleanse this spring. A Juice Cleanse has many benefits. A three-day cleanse can unburden your digestive system by temporarily eliminating the need to digest fats, heavy proteins and fibers. Instead, a juice cleanse provides the body with a steady stream of easily assimilated, hydrating and nourishing fruit and vegetable juices, flushing your cells with vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals.
|Blueprint juices are available in 16oz single serving bottles in the following six flavors:
Yellow 2: The newest flavor in the BP portfolio, this juice features ginger, which historically settles upset stomachs and has more recently been found to reduce pain and inflammation. Lemon is also a great source of Vitamin C, which keeps the skin radiant and glowing. Lemon is also a diuretic, helping the body flush out unwanted toxins. Ingredients: lime, ginger, lemon and agave.
Red: Drinking Beet Apple is a healthy way to increase iron intake for both vegetarians and meat eaters. Ingredients: beet, apple, carrot, lemon and ginger.
Gold: Pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C and the bottle includes 220% of our recommended Daily Value! Ingredients: pineapple, apple and mint.
Yellow: Cayenne pepper's active ingredient capsaicin can help stimulate the circulatory system and support a healthy metabolism. Ingredients: lemon, cayenne and agave.
White: The cashews in this bottle are an excellent source of copper (40% Daily Value), magnesium (20%) and zinc (15%). Ingredients: cashew, vanilla, cinnamon and agave.
Additionally, BluePrint recently launched three new flavors in convenient 10oz sizes (also available at Whole Foods):
Carrot Lemon – Organic carrots and organic lemons offer a unique twist on a simple flavor profile. Carrots contain beta-Carotene, which helps keep the eyes healthy and vision sharp. It is also packed with Vitamin A, which prevents signs of early aging.
Kale Apple Lemon – Organic kale is complemented by organic apple and organic lemon.
Orange Grapefruit Lemon – Three kinds of citrus in a delicious juice blend make an ideal breakfast beverage and a refreshing alternative to your standard OJ.
|6. Incorporate coconuts in your daily regime
Eating coconuts is an excellent way to maintain your immunity. They are antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic. Translation: they kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Because of that, if you consume coconut in any of its various forms (whether it be raw coconut, coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut butter, or coconut water) it can help treat some of of the worst and most resilient illnesses like influenza, giardia, lice, throat infections, urinary tract infections, tapeworms, herpes, gonorrhea, bronchitis, and numerous other ailments caused by microbials.
Coconut oil is excellent for maintaining your youth and beauty. Its antioxidant properties slow down the aging process by protecting the body from harmful free radicals. You don't only have to use coconut oil when cooking although it's a GREAT alternative to EVOO. I also like to place place a little bit of coconut oil on my skin each day to keep it smooth and free from dryness. Coconut oil is also known to treat skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
7. Be mindful of what you cook or order when pressed with time
In an age and a city where nearly everyone is pressed for time and eating on the fly, it can be increasingly difficult to find healthy, nutritious choices. It is always preferable to cook your own food so you can personally control the ingredients in your dishes. However, at times, we find ourselves so busy, food shopping and cooking devour too much of our precious time.

Take my advice. When Mom tells you to get away from the snake, listen! Because when you don't and they bite you, it is not good.
It has been a long, hard road, but I am finally feeling better. Mom has even said she will let me write again. But unfortunately, I probably won't be doing much traveling anymore. Between the fact that I am getting a bit old now (105 years old Mom says) and the fact that battling the snake bite took a lot out of me, I'm just not up to it anymore. So Mom says it is time for me to retire and let the young pup do the traveling. And so any further travel adventures will be brought to you by Austin. You remember Austin - that pampered, furry rat Mom brought home?
Now that does not mean that I am being put completely out to pasture? (Do dogs get put out to pasture? Okay, maybe we just get put in the dog house.) Whatever - I will still be working. Mom and I are building an entire site just for pets - particulary dogs. And she has said I can use a big part of it to promote adoption and spay/neuter programs. Since I am a former pound puppy, this is a very important issue for me and I can't wait to get started.
All of our family will have a piece. So over the next few days, I will introduce you to the rest of them. You'll meet Ginger and Oscar, Iris, Cobweb, Puck, and Peasebottom, and even Bubba. You might even get to meet the raccoon twins if they decide to put in an appearance. You'll learn a bit about how they came to be part of the family and what each of them will be contributing to our site. That way, when it's ready, you'll already know us - you'll be part of our family too!
I do want to thank everyone who has sent me kind wishes while I have been recovering. And whoever the mystery benefactor is that sent the Beefie Boots - you are my new BFF! You know who you are. Thank you. You made little dog VERY happy!

Effective time management is an important transferable skill which not only makes life easier, but can also lead to successful academic performance. Poor time management can cause stress and difficulties with completing projects on time, and may reflect badly on grades and assessment. Here are some handy tips to help you stay on top of the workload at all times and shine in your GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level studies.
The first step to effective time management is the setting of realistic goals. It is much easier to have good results when you set yourself clear targets and develop a timeframe to achieve these. Careful planning is significant, as it gives you control over the learning process and lets you estimate the time needed for specific tasks and set priorities accordingly. This way you can be more confident with your coursework. As material will be easier to understand, much more progress will be made and top grades can be attained. To-do lists and daily reminders can also be quite helpful at this stage; you can write down a list of tasks, making sure that you prioritize in terms of importance and urgency.
I have already made reference to the benefits of good time-management. It can be easier said than, done, of course; We have all made the mistake of putting off tasks of high importance in order to engage with more trivial ones! However, the sense of achievement once (to use a relevant example) assignments are completed is incomparable. One helpful way to stop procrastinating is to break down larger projects into smaller, more manageable chunks. Coursework is easily controllable, and there is a great sense of personal gratification when study goals have been achieved.
So, study time can be managed most effectively when your work environment is well-organised and free from distractions. You can also try setting your own deadlines well ahead of the given ones, so that you have time for remedial action if necessary. Realistic goal setting, efficient time planning and a positive attitude are key factors to student success, and will help make your long-distance learning experience a most enjoyable and fulfilling one!

Original air date: July 7th, 2008 Reporter: Bryan Seymour
There are many anti-Scientology videos being flagged fraudulently for copyright violations by the American Rights Counsel LLC. Upon searching for this company, it has been revealed that it doesn't exist.
This is once again a form of Internet censorship and an example that Youtube is willing to buckle under the pressure of Scientology's bullying. Even personal videos users have made themselves have been removed, citing copyright violation.
One begs to question also, why an American company has a right to call the shots over international content.
The original video this is mirrored from was one of the videos that has been targetted by the American Rights Counsel LLC. This is a massive expose on the child abuses employed by the Church of Scientology.
I ASK ALL OF THIS FROM YOU! Mirror this video EVERYWHERE! Show the cult of Scientology just what a massive mistake they've made!

One of Long Island's three worst toxic offenders down, two more to go
Farmingdale, NY—Citizens Campaign for the Environment (CCE) is celebrating a recent decision by Makhteshim Agan of North America (MANA) to voluntarily prohibit the sale, use, and distribution of a known problematic pesticide, Atrazine, on Long Island. Atrazine is a weed killer that has been identified as an endocrine disruptor and a possible carcinogen, and is the third most prevalent pesticide found in Long Island groundwater. According to the NYS DEC, there have been 124 detections of atrazine in 51 locations in Long Island's groundwater.
"Atrazine is a dangerous chemical that poses an unacceptable risk to public health and the environment on Long Island," said Adrienne Esposito, CCE Executive Director. "Removing this product from the shelves is an essential first step in protecting Long Island drinking water from unnecessary pesticide contamination. We are delighted by this news."
The existing inventory of Atrazine will likely remain on retail shelves throughout Long Island before the new restriction takes place, which is anticipated to be in the spring of 2014. While CCE is celebrating the announcement on atrazine; the top two pesticides found in Long Island groundwater, metalaxyl and imidacloprid, have yet to be addressed. CCE continues to advocate that the NYS DEC ban these chemicals.
"While we may have won a battle, we have yet to win the war. CCE is calling on the DEC to do its part to protect Long Islanders from needlessly being exposed to harmful pesticides, and ban Long Island's worst toxic offenders now," concluded Esposito.
More information about atrazine:
Atrazine was banned in the European Union in 2004 because of its persistent groundwater contamination. In the United States, however, atrazine is one of the most widely used weed killers, with 76 million pounds of it applied each year. Numerous scientific studies have identified atrazine as an endocrine disruptor and a possible carcinogen. In August 2009, atrazine was prominently featured in The New York Times as a potential cause of birth defects and low birth weights when consumed at concentrations below federal standards.
Citizens Campaign for the Environment (CCE) empowers communities and advocates solutions for our shared environment and public health and is supported by over 80,000 members throughout New York State and Connecticut. www.citizenscampaign.org

The Sorrows of Young Werther
The Fatal Weapons
The novel The Sorrows of Young Werther engages with a complex discourse of communication. It deals with a society highly lacking in personal communication, yet desperately in need of it. Although Werther longs for intimate face to face communication, books mediate his life, which leads to isolation, and ultimately suicide.
The form the novel takes illustrates a tension that plagues Werther. Though he wants to express himself, it is always through letters. He describes his passionate love not to Lotte but to Wilhelm. Furthermore, the reader is never allowed to experience any of Wilhelm's answers, producing a kind of unrequited dialogue, or a failed communication. The desire to actually touch Lotte tortures him, as he states "How many times have I been on the point of embracing her!"(113). Yet when he and Lotte do finally embrace, it is via a book.
Books, or more specifically epic poems, seem to dictate Werther's life. In Book One Werther is consumed by Homer and the "patriarchal ideas"(7) his works demonstrate. Even when he attempts to return to nature, he carries a copy of his book to read under shade while enjoying a cool beverage. He imagines himself to be Odysseus and Lotte "Penelope" (33). As he reads The Odyssey the tone...

Ahh, the endless subversive thrills of underground comix. It is hard to fathom in these everything-goes days of informational overload, but during their early 70's heyday, they were a thumb in the eye to everything holy and sacred about American culture, including its worship of bland, morally-incorruptible superheroes. Instead of lame-os like Superman and Captain America we had pervy creeps like Fritz the Cat and weed-smoking slackers The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Rife with drugs, violence, sex and sedition, these thoroughly adult "funnybooks" were counter-cultural timebombs. Once you've read an issue of Bizarre Sex, Death Rattle or Cocaine Funnies, Archie and Jughead just won't do anymore.
The underground comics (or "comix" as they were widely known) phenomenon sprouted from the fertile artistic well of San Francisco in the late 1960s. Some of its earliest practitioners/pioneers included Gilbert Shelton (Freak Brothers), S. Clay Wilson (The Checkered Demon), Bill Griffith (Zippy the Pinhead) and of course Robert Crumb (Zap Comix, Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural). It took a few years for these gritty, greasy comics to slither across the pond, especially since Britain had a knack for banning this kind of hippy-dippy counter-culture stuff. In fact, the bible of British hippies, Oz magazine, was undergoing an obscenity trial in 1972 and was withering on the vine when it split off into its own short-lived underground comic offshoot, cOZmic Comics. The title combined strips borrowed from American comics with new British artists like Mike Weller, Ed Barker and Malcolm Livingstone and became the flagship for underground comics in the UK.
Cozmic Comics ran for three years and eventually a handful of spin-offs were released, including Animal Weirdness, Half-Assed Funnies, and Rock 'N' Roll Madness Funnies. Rock 'N' Roll Madness Funnies only ran for two issues and then vanished, but it serves as a crucial snapshot of an era that treated its rock stars like untouchable gods. As is the job of any subversive, Rock 'N' Roll Madness Funnies turned that notion on its head, filling its pages with zonked out weirdos blowing their minds and millions on drugs and death trips. Many of the stories in both issues were written by musician/journalist Mick Farren and drawn by Dave Gibbons, who would later go on to fairly massive success with titles like 2000 AD and The Watchmen.
None of the stories are particularly hard-hitting and everyone's favorite, a tawdry descent into drugs and debauchery by a Crumb-ian rock n' roll cat named "Dirty Pussy," was never credited. But what makes these two comics so eminently cult-y are the stunning covers by American artist Greg Irons. Irons was a prolific poster artist from SF who had worked on the Beatles' Yellow Submarine film and was also responsible for the frequently hair-raising underground horror comic Slow Death. He died in 1984 after getting hit by a bus in Thailand, which is a helluva time/place/way to go. The covers he created for Rock 'N' Roll Madness Funnies achieve what they're supposed to—portray a slice of live, out-of-control, all-knobs-to-the-right rock action. But in his attempt to concoct the freakiest, wiggest-out cartoon bands imaginable, Irons managed to lampoon rock stars who didn't even exist yet. Issue one's skinny glam rocker is such a shoo-in for Antichrist Superstar-era Marilyn Manson that you would assume he was capable of time travel or ESP, and issue 2's thoroughly amazing blood-splattered tableau seems to predict both hardcore punk and corpse-painty black metal in one-over-the top image. As with many comics (and comix), the cheap, sleazy come-ons of the covers belie the relatively tame thrills nestled within, but the beauty of these two is that they ably predict how nuts rock n' roll would get in the ensuing decades. Seriously, who wouldn't want to read these things?
The back cover of Rock 'N' Roll Madness Funnies #2 (above) was drawn by Joe "J.J." Petagno who was given his own comix title by Cozmix Comics publisher H Bunch, It's Only Rock & Roll in 1975. It's Only Rock & Roll featured parodies of Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Elton John and Lou Reed. Each piece was a song lyric parody meant to lampoon these artists in the meanest, most juvenile manner possible. Alice Cooper and Elton John are portrayed as greedy money-grubbers. David Bowie with a killer case of syphilis. Mick Jagger is "the Midnite Flasher" waving his dick around and Reed is drawn as a gay Frankenstein's monster with a venereal disease.

Propranolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker (beta-blocker) that is widely used for the therapy of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris and hyperthyroidism. Propranolol has yet to be convincingly associated with clinically apparent liver injury and is often used in patients with liver disease and cirrhosis.
Propranolol (proe pran' oh lol) was the prototype beta-blocker developed for therapy of hypertension and is considered nonselective, acting on both the beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors. Beta-1 adrenergic blockade reduces the heart rate and myocardial contractility by slowing AV conduction and suppressing automaticity. Beta-2 blockade also affects peripheral vascular resistance and can cause bronchospasm and hypoglycemia. The beta-2 blockade is responsible for the majority of adverse effects associated with propranolol. Propranolol was approved for use in the United States in 1967 and is still commonly used, with several million prescriptions filled yearly. Propranolol is indicated for the management of hypertension, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis and prevention of migraine and vascular headaches. Propranolol is also used to treat essential tremor, to decrease the heart rate in patients with hyperthyroidism, and to prevent recurrent variceal hemorrhage. Propranolol is available in multiple generic forms and under the trade name of Inderal in tablets of 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 90 mg, as well as extended or sustained release capsules of 60, 80, 120 and 160 mg. Liquid formulations for oral and parenteral administration are also available. The typical dose of propranolol in adults is 60 to 240 mg daily in 2 divided doses (one with extended release formulations), with subsequent dose modification based upon efficacy and tolerance. Common side effects of propranolol include bradycardia, hypotension, fatigue, dizziness, depression, memory loss, impotence, cold limbs and less commonly severe hypotension, heart failure and bronchospasm. Sudden withdrawal can trigger rebound hypertension. Beta-blockers are contraindicated in patients with asthma, bradycardia and heart failure and should be used cautiously in the elderly and in patients with diabetes.
Mild-to-moderate elevations in serum aminotransferase levels occur in less than 2% of patients on propranolol and are usually transient and asymptomatic, resolving even with continuation of therapy. Despite its widespread use, propranolol has not been convincingly linked to instances of clinically apparent liver injury; the few cases reported have generally occurred in patients who were receiving other well known hepatotoxic agents or were associated with elevations in serum enzymes only without jaundice.
Likelihood score: E (Unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).
Mechanism of Injury
Propranolol undergoes rapid first-pass metabolism by the liver, but has little or no effect on P450 activity. The reason why it rarely causes liver injury is unknown; other beta-blockers with similar chemical structures have been linked to cases of clinically apparent, idiosyncratic liver injury.

Australia's government has overhauled its immigration policy for asylum seekers, a move that drew praise from human rights groups, but was criticized by the main opposition party as a potential security risk. The new policy was announced Tuesday and follows the election last year of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who had opposed the tough anti-immigration stance of his predecessor, John Howard. Among the largest group of claimants in recent years have been refugees from Iraq and Afghanistan.
The new rules apply to illegal immigrants who want to claim political asylum in Australia. Under a 1992 law, Australia can automatically detain anyone seeking asylum, which can take years to decide. Most controversial was the so-called 2001 "Pacific Solution," which involved warehousing claimants in detention camps on Pacific islands while their cases were considered. Mr. Rudd moved to close these camps after he took office.
Immigration Minister Chris Evans said in a speech on Tuesday that asylum seekers who "pose no danger to the community" won't be detained while their visa status is determined, Bloomberg reports. Those who are detained because they "present unacceptable risks to the community" will be subject to quarterly reviews by the immigration department, he added. Children are exempt from mandatory detention. Refugees who arrive by boat on Australia's outer islands will be processed on Christmas Island, an Australian territory.
In a copy of his speech on the Australian Labor Party website, Mr. Evans pledged to improve independent oversight of immigration rulings and said that all asylum seekers would have access to free legal advice. He said Australia would continue to honor its international commitment to providing a safe haven for political refugees and criticized his predecessor's "shameful" policies.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports that the opposition in Parliament has attacked the revised policy as poorly conceived and against the national interest. Chris Ellison, immigration spokesman for Mr. Howard's party, which held power for 11 years until last year's election defeat, said softening the detention policy would "send a clear message to the region that we are relaxing border control."
The Associated Press reports that Howard's tough stance was initially popular with voters after a surge in illegal sea crossings from neighboring Indonesia by refugees packed into rickety boats. As a wealthy nation of immigrants, Australia was seen as an attractive destination to people fleeing from war-torn countries, including Iraq and Afghanistan.
Human rights groups have broadly welcomed the new policy, reports the BBC. Amnesty International said the measure would bring Australia in line with other Western democracies and repair the harm done to the country's international image. But Amnesty called for the closure of the detention camp on Christmas Island, which Evans said would continue to be used to house detainees who land outside Australia's so-called migration zone.
The daily The Australian reports that the detention facility on Christmas Island, which lies between Indonesia and Australia's northwest coast, was built to house 800 people at a cost of A$300 million to taxpayers, but is largely empty today. Other offshore detention camps on Pacific islands like Nauru were closed after Rudd took office.
Former Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock, a close ally of Howard, said the sharp reduction in illegal entrants into the country had lightened the burden for the new government, reports Sky News. Mr. Ruddock said that several thousand illegal migrants had tried to reach Australia during some years, but unauthorized arrivals had since fallen, a trend he attributed to the Howard government's tough stance. He warned that human traffickers might seek to capitalize on the new, watered-down policy.
Agence-France Presse reports that around 380 asylum seekers are currently in detention and will now be processed under the new policy. A previous review by Evans of 72 detainees among those who had been held for over two years found that 31 should be released and given visas, 24 faced deportation, and 17 were still subject to legal investigations.

We rushed immediately to Saguijo just in case we made it to the set of The Ransom Collective. We arrived around 11:45pm and the place was insanely packed with more people outside. It actually feels like a Terno Inferno gig! I asked the guy near the gate if the gig was over, and he told me that it was The Ransom Collective's set and they're currently doing the soundcheck for their set. It was like a relief that we finally made it, although I wish we could've watched Cheats, Yolanda Moon & TheSunManager.
The venue was really small and couldn't accommodate everyone so we were standing outside, staring at the window when they played "Images" (first song). It was followed by a cover song from Eraserheads that everyone surely knows, and that's "Ang Huling El Bimbo". The crowd sung their hearts out as Jermaine is singing the song.
I moved inside during the third song and was surprised that they play "Present Tense". A song about past regrets, somehow a tearjerker that carries out the emotional climax when the violin started to rule the song. It was followed by "Hither" and we once again witnessed the vocal duet between Kian & Lily (keyboard player). More and more people were coming in and not even bothered by the heat and sweat dripping all over their bodies.
The people got more crazy when they played "Run", their most catchy and most matured song (in terms of songwriting). I was actually one of the people singing their lungs out the entire set. They concluded the show with the very first single titled as "Fools". Little trivia, this song has been used for Bianca Gonzales and JC Intal's wedding aftermovie made by Jason Magbanua.
The gig was awesome even though I failed to watch the opening acts. The venue was the usual go-to for gigs and booze. Not that spacious enough for big events since the place could only handle like 40-45 people inside, unless an intimate acoustic event or something like that.
Not a good photo though!

I guess I'm a little too old for these types of places went to support my friend in his gig and it wasn't even like super hard rock. Maybe the place isn't really built with the right acoustics etc. Btw, I used to go to a lot of gigs but this time Talaga nabingi Ako as in! Ringing in the ears! Oh well towel, still happy I was able to see him play ü

Husband and I used to come here often. Pre-baby days, after a late movie, grab a drink, watch Up dharma, Taken by cars etc. I also used to shop at a vintage store at the 2nd floor.
We didn't mind the crowd, the toilet & tight space but priorities & taste have changed. it's been quite a while since we last came as it would mean living our toddler to her Granny till 3AM.
But given the chance and as long as a good band we like is playing, we'd like to go back and see how the place is doing.

Decided to go here because of Up Dharma Down. We arrived very, very early so we took pasta for dinner. The ambiance is, I think, suited for "rakista" people. Hahaha best place to watch gigs!! Entertaining bands, check! :) We ordered bangus sisig which is way too spicy for a normal tastebud. But the food and serving is good :) Free beer!!

Mah home! Nope, not but this place revives me every time.
I have their pastas. First, I chose Bolognese because I don't want something fishy in my mouth that time but hey, surprises come in the weirdest of places. The bowl tasted nothing but anchovies. Haha. Wrong choice. Another time, I tried pesto and yes!!! They've got me with all the nuttiness and the cheese, yes! And a php 200 order can serve 2 people.Haha.
Have ventured with their different pizzas, too. The four cheese was a bit salty but still nice. The other one (sorry, I forgot how they call it) has got seafood taste.
Their drinks, you can get at the bar, also, you can ask the waiters. Rarely, the line's long. And a bit pricey on that part.
The music? Do I need to say more?

Another prod, another bar. We now head to San Antonio Village in Makati to go into saGuijo bar. Bands did a tribute to Hall & Oates this time. Same concept as with my previous reviews, bands play a number of songs from the artist & a few covers and originals as well. This bunch of performers come from different bands. You have LC de Leon from Reklamo, Audrey Dionisio from General Luna, Miguel Dayanghirang from Malay, Inky de Dios from Indio I/Kjwan to name a few. Other performers that night were Jaycie & Honey(acoustic) Conscious & the Goodness(jazz)

On a big night, you'll sweat, you'll grind, you'll sit, stand and swoon, you'll be thiscloseto top talent, and you'll spill out into the street around 2am with the rest of us: grinning, bewildered, and with change in your pocket 'cos it's bang-for-buck time too. As the granddaddy of San Antonio Village's budding bohemian scene, SaGuijo is all about the music, and as authentic a place as you'll find this close to Makati's central business district.
SaGuijo takes an old house with wooden floorboards, goes crazy with music stickers and random memorabilia (why the British football team, Arsenal has a big flag on show we don't yet know), ignores the need for a formal stage, throws in the gorgeous Snow Tattoo parlor upstairs (run by Turbo Goth's, Sarah Gaugler), and finishes off with staff that you'll come to know and love.

Here's an example: Jack and Jill are persons who know each other. Per Hofstadter's idea, the knowledge of Jill in Jack's mind is as much a valid part of Jill as Jill's physical body is part of Jill. But the knowledge of Jill in Jack's mind is "low res." compared with the knowledge of Jill in her own mind. Jill's actual body and mind are at the highest res available.
Extending the idea: A photograph of Jill is part of Jill. And so too are letters written by Jill, letters written about Jill, clothes worn by Jill, memories of Jill in the minds of her friends: these are all parts of Jill. Every part and aspect of reality touched by Jill in any way, is part of Jill — the "Greater Jill", the total, aggregated footprint of Jill upon Reality.
Perhaps the most significant difference between the various parts or aspects of Jill is the extent to which each is subject to change. Everything is subject to change, but some things change less than others. A digitized photograph of Jill uploaded to the internet is less subject to change than Jill's physical body.
Does that mean the uploaded photograph is somehow a "truer" aspect of Jill than her physical body? No. Because change is an intrinsic part of Jill, and the photograph fails to capture that aspect of her being. But change itself complicates the question about who or what is the one true Jill. Perhaps there isn't one, but rather a multitude. After all, there are all those "new age" claims floating around that humans are multi-dimensional beings, and we're not talking "normal" dimensions either, i.e. space, time and spacetime. Perhaps we multi-dimensional beings extend even into the compactified dimensions and calabi-yau manifolds beloved of string theorists!
A useful way to think about it is in terms of process vs pattern. What's the difference between a pattern and a process? Answer: change/movement. A process is a dynamic pattern. A pattern is a frozen process, a static process. In life, personal consciousness is a process, and in death it's a pattern, a frozen process, just as a photograph is a frozen representation of a dynamic subject. After Jill's death, the dynamic process "Jill" is frozen and what remains is the static pattern "Jill", which resides in the minds of people who remember her and in photographs and other records.According to Hofstader, "...we are self-perceiving, self-inventing, locked-in mirages that are little miracles of self-reference", (Douglas Hofstadter, I Am a Strange Loop). Self-reference frequently leads to paradox, which is why a person has such difficulty identifying let alone knowing herself. Godelian incompleteness refers to the idea that the propositions of a formal system such as geometry can only be proven to be true/consistent outside of the system. Similarly, you have to step outside of yourself in order to identify yourself, let alone know yourself. Godelian incompleteness applies as much to personhood/identity as to any formal system.
Every process needs a substrate on which to "run", on which to deploy itself. Computer software runs on a substrate of computer hardware. The process of delivering energy into the homes of people (currently!) runs on a substrate of metal wires. The process of removing personal waste from the homes of people runs on a substrate of pipes in the ground. The process of being a person runs on the substrate of a flesh-and-blood body. Consciousness/mind is a process that runs on the substrate of the brain.
Consciousness is a verb, not a noun.
A person is a composite monad comprising "software", "hardware" and "data". Mental content, the software, is deployed on a flesh-and-blood hardware substrate, the brain. The person's experiences and interactions with the world are data.
When the substrate ends or is destroyed or vanishes into the mist, the process stops and can run no more. In the case of the process of being a person, when the body dies there's no substrate on which the person can run, so the person runs no more. When the brain dies, consciousness/mind stops and can run no more unless and until another appropriate substrate takes the place of the brain.
But there's nothing in principle preventing a process from running on multiple substrates, serially or in parallel. The death of the body does not necessarily mean the final and irreversible death of the personhood associated with that body. In principle, if and when another suitable substrate becomes available, the process of being that person could run again (as long as it had been appropriately stored in the interim!). Reincarnation is what happens when a new substrate becomes available on which the process of being a particular person can run again.
OK, but what happens to the process while it's waiting for a new substrate to turn up? I don't know. Perhaps it runs on the fundamental substrate on which the whole of reality runs. Could a process run on itself as substrate? Could a process itself give rise to a virtual substrate on which the process could run? Don't know.
In principle, the substrate on which runs the process of being a person need not be organic, ie based on molecules of carbon. The substrate can be anything on which the process can successfully run. The substrate could, for example, be silicone-based (as in the case of the computer). But the substrate need not be material at all; it could be a "virtual substrate" comprised of abstract principles of internal logic.
There are many different types of immateriality, as many as the number of angels that can dance on the head of a bindu.This post should be read in conjunction with all other posts published in this blog under the label of "personhood".

Raised in both Calgary and New York City, Gian-Carlo Carra was elected to serve his first term as Alderman for Ward 9 in October 2010. Having obtained a Masters in Environmental Design/Urban Design at the University of Calgary and serving on the City's Standing Policy Committee on Land Use Planning & Transportation, Carra brings a passion for building walkable, safe and fiscally responsible communities to City Hall. CREB® caught up with Alderman Carra to talk a little bit about Calgary.
CREB®>> What's the biggest challenge you face at your job as Alderman?
Carra>> On the one hand we're member of the board for a multi-billion corporation and we're trying to pursue strategic change, and then we also play the role of the complaints department. In some ways it's a really interesting deep dive into how the organization works, in other ways it works against the strategic role that council should play. Reconciling those two opposite functions I think is one of the most difficult challenges that any alderman faces.
CRBE®>> What's the biggest issue facing the City?
Carra>> I think the biggest issue facing the city – and Ward 9 is a great laboratory for addressing it – is opening up an urban market and establishing a city that resembles what we're talking about in our new municipal plan – a city of complete communities. A city where one can walk and get most of the things they need and can use transit just as conveniently as it currently is to drive a car. Basically making the transition from an automobile-scaled suburban city to a city that provides walkable human habitat as a viable option for a critical mass of citizens. I think Ward 9 is by-and-large probably the most significant assemblage of walkable neighbourhoods in the city. So we have revitalization, we have figuring out to become a laboratory for that change on a city scale as a major challenge and a major opportunity.
CREB®>> If you could change on thing about Calgary, what would it be?
Carra>> I like the weather in Calgary actually. People complain about Calgary being a winter city and that's why we drive so much and that's why we don't spend enough time outside, but having come from the East Coast I can tell you that when it gets cold there, it's a lot more miserable than when it gets cold here. So I don't honestly buy the weather argument. So I would say the biggest thing we have to change is we have to become a much more urban city over time.
CREB®>> What's your favourite way to spend a day off in or around Calgary?
Carra>> That's a tough one. I think recently, because we have a seven-month-old child, my wife and I are really enjoying living in Inglewood and being able to take advantage of both the amazing pathway and park systems and our proximity to the zoo, but also the main street where we can go and walk and visit our merchant friends and partake in the food that's offered there and do our shopping. I think it's just reveling in the complete community that Inglewood is and is becoming more of.
CREB®>> What's been the biggest change in the city during your time in office?
Carra>> I think the biggest that city has undertaken is the Nenshi effect. I think there's an amazing sense of optimism, and I'm not saying it's Nenshi's fault, but I think he's sort of the poster child for the real shift in the city that's expressed in everything in the city from the mayor we elected to the fact we're the 2012 Cultural Capital of Canada to this sense of optimism and excitement about our future.
CREB®>> Being raised in both Calgary and New York, how would you compare the two cities?
Carra>> I think that New York is probably the classic exceptional example of the industrial era urban city and I think Calgary is probably the exceptional example of the post-war suburban city. So in many ways they're completely opposite places. The things are great about both though is the sense of neighbourhood and community, so in some ways they're totally opposite ends of the spectrum and in other ways they're both just great places to live. But I don't think, on a move-forward basis, that New York is the model that we could or should pursue the same way that I think that the automobile scaled city that Calgary has done such a great job of delivering is really the sustainable model either. I think the solution lies at more of the neighbourhood level.
CREB®>> Whats would you say is the biggest misconception people have about Calgary or Calgarians?
Carra>> That's a tough one. I'm always amazed to find out that some people still think of Inglewood as the rough and tumble part of the city. I'm also amazed to find out that Canadians sort of think of Calgary as this redneck place. I think we're past that and I think the misconception has to do more with how many people haven't woken up to the new reality.
