This is your body on healthy foods:
Notice the colorful nutrient-rich foods? The bright shiny sun rays that seem to be emitting from within? The bright blue skies that make you want to get up and go on a warm sunny morning?
This? This is your body on crappy food, no water, and zero veggies:
Fried, tired, barfy looking, covered in bugs (metaphorically at least).
I have never really put two and two together. I was always tired. Since as long as I can remember I've been tired. Not once did I think that what I was eating could be the culprit. I thought, oh allergies…. stress… baby…. blah, blah, blah….
Until….. I spent the last month and a half eating well. Drinking tons of water. Exercising. I noticed a change in my alertness, an eagerness to be awake and not stare into the abyss daydreaming of when I could get to bed. Or wishing for the day when I can have time to take a nap. Those feelings were slowly fading away.
Until this weekend. When I ate nothing but crap. Coffee and donuts for breakfast. Pizza and beer for lunch. Fried crap in butter and beer for dinner. And more beer. ZERO hydrating fluids (that's right, not even one glass of water), ZERO veggies, ZERO colorful nutrients.
I woke up at 5 am on Sunday morning feeling like death. My body was screaming for water, and better sleep, and a toilet. I wasn't hung over, I knew that, I had only had 6 beers total in a 12 hour period. But my body was hurting. And I knew why. It was a cry for help, like "what are you doing to me???"
I was exhausted on Sunday. Insanely thirsty. And today? Today I'm feeling the slow approach of an illness. Could it be related to my pure body bashing on Saturday? Who knows. But I sure know now that I prefer the way I feel on GOOD food. That when I'm drinking all that water and having a few fruits and veggies that I'm not longing for a nap or begging the health gods for mercy and my belly appears to be way less bloated. That when I'm taking a few walks a week my muscles feel better, and I'm raring to go do more.
I weighed myself a couple times. Friday, I was about the same as my previous weigh in. Sunday, I was up a pound, and this morning, somehow up 2. This isn't fat, it's the results of pure crap congealing in my system, holding on to as much water as it can because Lord knows I haven't replaced it with anything good.
Lesson Learned.
On another note, I will also start Couch to 5K, after Blair motivated me last week to do it. I went and downloaded the app to itunes, and then realized that I can't put it on my first generation ipod touch… stupid thing. So, I'll have to do it the old fashioned way and remember while I'm running what I'm supposed to do… Or steal Dave's droid while I'm running and download the app on his phone so it can tell me what to do. I'm planning on starting day 1 tomorrow, depending on this barfy, achy, stuffy disease that's coming on.

If you happen to see people wearing red ribbons today but you are not sure why, it's because these people are supporting World AIDS Day. Its commitment is bringing awareness to this terrible pandemic in order to find a cure, as well as increasing education about it so as to redress any stigmas associated with it.
According to the World AIDS Day website, there are approximately 33.3 million people who are HIV positive, with an estimated 25 million dying from it between 1991 to 2007. With such a high casualty rate and so many more people in danger of becoming victims, all resources to help treat and find any cure are vital.
With that being said, it was a devastating blow to AIDS treatment when "the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria announced it wouldn't be accepting any grant applications this year" due to a "catastrophic drop in donor funding."
The loss of these funds will impact many patients who seek these critical treatments. They are beneficial not only in saving lives but also in protecting communities by decreasing the likeliness of HIV transmission according to Dr. Unni Karunakara.
I suppose funding wouldn't have been stopped if these patients were multinational corporations or too-big-t0-fail banks.
Not everyone is letting this funding damper their spirits though. There are still websites, such as World AIDS Day and this one, that are remaining positive in bringing more education and awareness to AIDS, in addition the following people in this video.

My Soul Healed By You (Mon ame par toi guerie): San Sebastian Review
French writer-director Francois Dupeyron's adaptation of his own novel stars Gregory Gadebois, Celine Sallette and Jean-Pierre Darroussin.
PARIS -- A Frenchman is forced to deal with his inherited gift after his healer mother's off-screen death in the drama My Soul Healed By You (Mon ame par toi guerie), from writer-director Francois Dupeyron (The Officer's Ward, Monsieur Ibrahim).
The film's based on Dupeyron's own novel (with a fantastic, much more evocative title that roughly translates as Every Man for Himself, as God Doesn't Give a Shit) and is mostly a middle-of-the-road indie despite its unusual premise, though it again neatly showcases the talents of actor Gregory Gadebois, the somewhat portly and affable male protagonist from Alix Delaporte's Angele and Tony.
Part of the competition at the recent San Sebastian Film Festival, the film was also released last week in France, where it should do modest numbers theatrically before finding its way to upscale TV outlets.
Gadebois is Fredi, a man in early middle age who grew up in a trailer park and whose mother died five weeks before the film starts. His elderly father (veteran actor Jean-Pierre Darroussin) isn't a man of many words and Fredi isn't exactly the type to solicit them, either. It emerges that Fredi has inherited his mother's gift for faith healing, through the laying on of his hands, though it's not something he wants to admit, let alone consider.
Things change when Fredi's involved in an accident and a young boy ends up in a coma in a hospital and he's tempted to right the wrong he's caused -- he's a teetotaler who swerved on his motorbike to avoid a dog crossing the road -- by secretly using his gift.
It's an interesting conceit that Dupeyron never fully develops or exploits and there's a general messiness to the film's plotting (especially the introduction of new characters such as Celine Sallette's alcoholic excuse for a human being, Nina, and the members of Fredi's inner circle) and the characters' motivations that feels less like real life than an undisciplined screenwriting exercise in naturalism.
That said, the film's entirely naturalistic in terms of its lived-in performances and its approach to faith healing -- it's just taken for granted that it's something that exists and is out there -- as well as on a technical level, with Dupeyron keeping terrific d.p. (and occasional director) Yves Angelo's camera quite close to his characters as they move around while keeping the length of the shots long, further reinforcing the you-are-there feeling. The gorgeous sunlight of the south of France that Angelo captures even manages to suggest that the working-class, almost white-trash milieu depicted can also occasionally be touched by grace.
For the record, some press materials refer to the film as One of a Kind, though the English title used in the San Sebastian catalog was My Soul Healed By You, an ungainly if literal version of the French title.

|What do "I" think? I think you're nuts!!!!!!
Just kidding, Annie. It would be a wonderful idea, but would you have to stake all these "tall" plants?
Changing the subject, but boy is it COLD, here. It's -2 degrees and feels like -25. And it's gonna get colder. I keep hearing that Sunday will be the coldest day of the winter. I hope that damn groundhog is frozen out there somewhere.
I'm feeling a lot better. Carefully watching what I'm eating. I still have a bit of "brain fog". I don't know if it's from the head cold or the prilosec. The warning on the pill bottle says "may cause drowsiness". I don't feel like sleepy, just not as sharp as usual. Oh, well, gotta give it some time, I guess.
Stay warm,
Feb 14, 2015 1:03 PM CST
|Holy Moley, minus 2!! We're also supposed to have the coldest day of the winter on Sunday, but we're looking at probably 18 for a high and 8 for a low. It's that wind that's so brutal though.
I'm glad you're feeling better. At least, being Polish, we don't find potatoes a penance to eat...I could probably live on potatoes *HA*. Isn't this part of the winter the LONGEST? I keep thinking, just another week and surely we'll start to see some better weather...just another week...
Take care, stay warm, Annie

A Tip from Cody Lundin
I'm re-reading Cody's book 98.6 Degrees and found this tip that I must've missed the last time:
Pack some Alka-Seltzer in your pack when headed out.
Once you've purified your water just drop one in and it'll provide you with trace amounts of Sodium and essential carbonation that'll push the fluids through the pyloric sphincter (the muscle at the bottom of your stomach) and toward your large intestine where it will do the most good.
He suggests the generic variety "without added Aspirin." I see the original Alka-Seltzer contains 325 mg of Aspirin so I'll have to keep looking for an Aspirin-free version.
I'm going to see if this is a fast cure for a dehydration headache the next time I get too busy to take regular drinks of water.
I'll be looking into this subject further over the next few days...
Thanks for reading,

Income distribution, poverty and social expenditure in Latin America

- Published in:
- CEPAL Review No.65
Great social inequality has long been a frustrating feature of the economic development of Latin America, which has rightly been described as the region of the world with the highest levels of inequality of income distribution. Although the prevailing levels of poverty are lower than those typical of other parts of the developing world, they are still extremely high and, taking the region as a whole, are higher now than they were before the debt crisis. These are the conditions now confronting the new elements which have changed the economic and social dynamics of the region. Special mention may be made of four of these elements: the structural reforms embarked upon in all the countries, the accompanying process of globalization, the resumption of economic growth, and the new reforms initiated in the area of social expenditure and social services as part of what have been called the "second generation" reforms. This article puts forward some hypotheses about the effects of these new events on poverty and inequality and analyses their implications for social policy.

Breathing Therapy
The nose has a left and a right side; we use both to inhale and exhale.
Actually they are different, you would be able to feel the difference.
The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon.
During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe.
In about 5 minutes, your headache will be gone. If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose.
After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed .
Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily, left side belongs to 'cold'.
Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get 'cooled off' faster.
Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up.
Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right? If left is faster, you will feel tired.
So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will get refreshed quickly.
This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practised by adults.

I think once you've got the theming fever, the only prescription is more
cowbell theming. Returning back to my initial obsession with monochrome and minimalism, I'd like to present another theme by Sonny Sekhon (the creator of Tangerine): Frost.
Frost takes your status bar icons and turns them black. How will black show up on your bar, you might ask? Well, your notification bar is transformed into a brilliant, frosty silver. Same as Tangerine, the battery percent is put inside the battery by default, so you'll always how much time you've got before you need to swap in a spare battery.
The pulldown notification bar is similarly themed, with a transparent background and silvery-white text and icons. The bottom of the bar is a sort of metallic rectangle with a slice cut out of it. Your notifications are also on metallic rectangles too.
The dialer is relatively unchanged, with just some transparency added. The phone icon is now silver, people's frames around their pictures is a slightly darker grey, but otherwise, it's the same app you've come to know and love.
Icons and widgets have been heavily themed, with many of the apps in my drawer sporting some new, silver threads. A number of widgets have been skinned, too, like the analog clock and the Google search widget.
As a matter of fact, everything in Frost is themed or skinned in some form or fashion. Check box buttons, the settings menu, field highlights, and toast notifications are all cold, frosty, and monochromatic. There isn't a part of your ROM that won't have been themed, and it all comes together in one very convincing package or total frosty immersion.
If you're on the hunt for a brightly colored theme (like me!), then look no further than Frost. It's bright, steely, and very eye-catching. And for only $1, it can be yours.
We've got download links and more pictures after the break.

54% of future smartphone buyers will choose Apple's iPhone
ChangeWave Research yesterday released the results of its new survey of North American smartphone customers. The survey demonstrates that over a half of those looking to purchase a smartphone over the next 90 days are planning to buy an iPhone 4S. But the 54% share of future buying plans held by Apple as of December was down from 65% in September.
The late December survey looked at smart phone demand trends going forward, and finds Apple iPhone demand remains incredibly strong more than two months after the iPhone 4S release.
Among respondents planning to buy a new smart phone in the next 90 days, better than one-in-two (54%; down 11-pts) say they'll get an iPhone.
Apple has never dominated smart phone planned buying to this extent more than two months after a major new release.
Samsung took the second place with its share more than doubling to 13% among those looking to purchase a new phone over the next three months. Android devices are on the third place with 7%.
As usual, 75% of iPhone owners have said that they are "very satisfied" with their smartphones. Noteworthy, the iPhone has been always ranked in the 70-80% range for nearly the entire history of the device. As for Samsung, HTC, and Motorola all score in the 45-47% satisfaction range while Research in Motion received only 22% of users saying that they are very satisfied with their BlackBerry devices.

Sienna Fusco is a Business Administration and Self-Design Major. In the summer of 2015, Sienna was inspired to combine her passions in business, art, and helping others by starting her own business. Although she had planned to do this on her own, she found out that the final project for one of her classes, Small Business Management, was to actually start your own business. She and four other students took advantage of this opportunity and started The Color of Love. The Color of Love is a non-profit coloring book business with the mission "to love others through the joy of coloring." It does this by unifying people through coloring to celebrate children with special needs. Each coloring book features a different child with a different disability to raise awareness for their disability and celebrate their life and accomplishments. The proceeds raised from the books are donated to a charity or an organization of the feature's choice to help other children with special needs experiencing similar daily challenges.
By the end of the semester, the group had sold over 300 copies of their first issue, and raised over $1500 for the Mercy School of Special Learning. Sienna saw the potential that this business had to positively impact others, and therefore decided to continue the business even after the class had ended. She has since hired two interns, started their second issue, embarked on a partnership with Barnes and Noble, and won second place at Muhlenberg's Innovation Challenge. She plans to create 3-4 coloring book issues a year, and hopes to help many people in her journey. She is grateful for her business professors to teach her the necessary tools towards starting a successful business, and the support she has received from the school on her endeavor. She hopes to continue to grow her business and help many more people down the road.

Chef: My mom, who always manages to surprise me with tasty creative twists to typically traditional French cooking.
Cooking show: Qui sera le prochain grand patissier.
Cookbook: Modernist cuisine by Maxime Bilet and Nathan Myhrvold.
What experience most defined your decision and desire to get into the food industry?
I remember my very first vegetable garden when I was 6 years old. In awe of all things magical, as I am sure most kids at that age are, I was fascinated by how I could make a tiny grain grow into something I had never seen before. I remember the first bag of seeds I was given came out of this old shed at the bottom of the garden. It had no labels or pictures and no instructions. After a quick crash course from family on how to plant, they were safely buried in the ground and the seemingly
endless wait had begun. I spent hours playing in the garden waiting for something, anything. When the first shoots popped out of the ground a few days later I knew I was hooked. I'd excitedly wake up before school to run down and check on my little garden, and then rush back home afterwards to check that nothing had happened to my little shoots. When it came time to harvest my little garden I had totally evolved into a food nerd and was annoying everyone in the house with all my questions.
Where is your favorite place to shop for food and ingredients in Kuwait?
I rotate amongst the large retailers here and decide what gets bought based on the quality and freshness I am able to find. I like to visit the fish and spice markets here but, I miss the farmers' markets near my house back in France. In the early morning they have mushrooms the size of dinner plates sold out of little wooden carts, and the smell of freshly ground coffee and bread filling the air all day long.
What food most reminds you of your mother's house, and why?
Apple tart or chocolate mousse because we could never get enough of these two desserts growing up. She lovingly made them so many times that she could probably prepare them with her eyes closed and both hands behind her back by now.
When you want to go somewhere else to eat, where do you go and why?
I love tapas, so anywhere with good tapas, nice company and some chilled out music is good for me.
Who in the world would you most like to cook for?
First choice would be Nelson Mandela but sadly as that is not possible, Old friends that I've lost touch with. Cooking gives you lots of time to catch up and listen to the stories they have to tell, over well aged traditional French style grape juice and a plate of cheese to get the appetite going.
If you were to leave Kuwait and could take only one kitchen gadget with you, what would it be?
The clay oven they throw the Iranian bread in at Souk Al Mubarakiya.

Coach Rick Carlisle didn't sound entirely optimistic that Howard would be ready to return when Dallas opens a seven-game homestand Tuesday against the Clippers.
Carlisle said he's "hopeful."
--Fourth-year swingman Gerald Green is clearly not gaining favor with coach Rick Carlisle. For the second consecutive game, Green has started the game at shooting guard, but has remained on the bench for the start of the second half.
He played less than five minutes Friday against the Lakers, and Saturday against Sacramento he lasted eight minutes before finally getting back in during garbage time.
During his eight first-half minutes against the Kings, Green was 1-for-6 from the field with his only field goal coming on a rebound off his own blown layup. He finished 1-for-8.
--G Jason Terry had 24 points Saturday against the Kings, giving him 82 points in the last three games and pushing his season average to nearly 20 points a game. Terry's career-high average is 19.7 back in 2000-01, his second season in the league with Atlanta.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I got my rhythm back. It took me a couple of games to get going and shake the cobwebs off, but I'm feeling good." -- Devean George, on scoring 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting in a season-high 27 minutes Saturday against Sacramento.

the dark side
As a priori determined, Love is an act of sheer selfishness. We tend to think of it as something humbling, something that creates altruistic beings who sacrifice their own happiness for others. But that is all a cover-up.
Love is about boosting your ego. It's about finding the perfect reflection of you mirrored in the face of somebody else. Love is thus pure narcissism. You fall in love with the constructed image of yourself, as seen by another person.
Of course, they don't write songs about that...
Now, jealousy is allegedly the dark side of love. The black sheep of the romantic family.
But once you realize the origin of love, jealousy is only the next logical step.
Jealousy is to Love what protectionism is to international trade:
Bad for Business, yet inevitable as sometimes it appears to be the only alternative.
blogging in a thunderstorm.
I am not your anchor
so dont hold on
im not the answer, you got me wrong
I am not the savior
to find out who you are
I have come to terms with the situation at hand.
With coming to terms I refer to reconciliating with conflicting emotions.
You may even say controlling my inner turmoil, just to use one of my favourite expressions.
Controlling has become an obsession. Goes by autopilot by now.
Come close to the entrance and my defense mechanisms kick in right away.
Are you emotional? My irony will cure it.
Feeling weak? I'll make a joke on your expense.
Don't mistake these psychological defects for arrogance.
They're my safety net.
ee cummings.
and all talking's talking to oneself
(whether that oneself be sought or
seeking master or disciple, sheep or wolf)
gush to it as deity or devil
-toss in sobs and reasons, threats and smiles
name it cruel, fair, blessed or evil-
it is you (he, I) nobody else
drive dumb mankind dizzy with haranguing
- you are deafened every mother's son-
all is merely talk which isn't sining
and all talking's to oneself alone
but the very song of (as mountains feel
and lovers) singing is silence.
color en las pestañas (Independently Happy)
se va quitando poco a poco telarañas
no ha dormido esta noche pero no esta cansada
no mira ningún espejo pero se siente to' guapa
Hoy ella sa puesto color en las pestañas
hoy le gusta su sonrisa, no se siente una extraña
hoy sueña lo que quiere sin preocuparse por nada
hoy es una mujer que se da cuenta de su alma
Hoy vas a descubrir que el mundo es solo para ti
que nadie puede hacerte daño, nadie puede hacerte daño
Hoy vas a comprender
que el miedo se puede romper con un solo portazo.
Hoy vas a conseguir
reirte hasta de ti y ver que lo has logrado que...
Hoy vas a ser la mujer
que te dé la gana de ser
Hoy te vas a querer
como nadie ta sabio querer
Hoy vas a mirar pa'lante
que pa atrás ya te doy ya bastante
una mujer valiente, una mujer sonriente
mira como pasa
(no) holes inside
when people say "It's like a dream come true",
I've always sighed on the inside in my cynical little bubble,
thinking slightly bitter thoughts to myself.
Now I find myself on the verge of a dream
knowing it will come true,
if only for a little while.
For two months I will get up in the morning, eat my breakfast, dress up
and go to work at the United Nations International Centre in Vienna.
No matter how many times I repeat it...
it doesn't seem to be real.
/if you hold tight
shadows will be lost in the light
cause sometimes
fate and your dreams may collide/
make love- nothing else.
Was filled with such an overwhelming sense of harmony and senseless happiness.
is this what it feels like when the jigsaw falls into place?
two wrongs make a right?
what do you say to taking chances,
what do you say to jumping off the edge?
never know when and if there's solid ground below
a hand to hold, or hell to pay..
- what do you say?
Lately I am becoming increasingly aware of the thousand of small paths that have lead me up to this point.
some are mistakes, failures and just things that were really meant to go another way.
Instead they were brought together in the mixer that is my life
migling with the success, the serendipity and the meaning.
This ever-so-present meaning.
All things are so vulnerable, hanging on to a spiderweb
cautiously claiming their right to be there.
and relationships to the people around us
are really nothing but coincidences, incidents- accidents!
Some are more fortunate than others
but in the end we must acknowledge their magical power
If I had been sick that day I would have never sat down next to her.
Had I not been so upset with someome else I would have never thought to talk to you.
Arriving 3 hours later to a certain destination would have prevented me from ever laying eyes on him.
This is the kind of realization that makes you go crazy.
If all the happy coincidences are really brought about by the failures
does that mean that vice versa is also true?
Will all our good will lead to devastation?
- Karma?
/your heart is an empty room/
Death Cab For Cutie reminds me of other times.
Other obsessions.
Same, same.
Just a few days ago a clever friend told me that it really is true that the minute you stop trying;
things just fall into places, what you were waiting for will come to you.
I must admit, I don't really fave faith in these kind of sayings
repeated ad infinitum until they no longer require motivation.
(it's just like that. - why?? - it always has been)
But today something did sort of fall right into my lap
that I had long since discarded even as a blueprint.
does this apply to all areas of life?
Cause God knows some things are easier to giveup on
than others...
my life as a cake?
when something is missing and you can't quite pinpoint it.
It is usually acceptance.
See, very often we do know deep down what things are like.
be they feelings, situations or reactions.
We just don't want to accept them.
- or worse- we simply cannot.
but sometimes the only way is to realize that things can't be pushed.
everything cannot be changed or triggered
we must accept them for the way they are.
This is what I mean with turning your Nowhere into Somewhere
even if I was not the one to write it first.
Jeanette Winterson may have had something different in mind all together
but I am sure she would agree that there is nothing
except for subjective interpretation.
the place where you are may not be the one you intended or originally whished for,
so you must see it for what it is and find out what you can do with it.
Use the essence and create something different.
If you can't get the whole cake,
- make sure you get a good bite out of it.

I have discovered my newest idol.
Thomas L. Friedman.
With a bachelor degree in Mediterranean Studies, a master in Oriental studies
and a working carreer as a correspondent in the Middle East, journalist for the New York Times and author of several ground-breaking books; he is somebody I would like to buy a cup of cappuccino and listen to while he tells me about his life.
Could not help but ordering all of his books and now I can't wait til they turn up in my post-box.
I am finding my place.
Won't let anything break my grounds.

Now, being back in Oslo I find myself thinking the same thoughts as I did last year.
Even though it is blatantly clear to me how much things have changed since then.
How much I have changed.
I think you need to realize that you are reiterating in order to understand that it is time to change.
Most of my life I never questioned why I was doing things and where I was going.
I guess those times are over and now it is all about finding the point of it all.
The important thing is to find the meaning.

How do people in tropical countries get anything done?
All my mind is capable of focusing on is 1) drinking 2) the heat.THE HEAT! 3) the will to take my clothes off
Now these things can be a problem if you work in an office with a dress-code in which the air condition is not working.
Luckily, mine is a beverage producing company, so drinks are never scarse.
But as for the rest, there is nothing to be done.
Now you might say I shouldnt be so swedish and complain about everything, which probably is true. When do we ever get heat and sunshine up here anyway? It just caught us off guard, that's all. And I dare not hope that we will have time to get used to it....
Seing as being away from my usual habitat seems to have brought me off my usual philosophical rut.
That is probably also due to the heat.
There simply is no energy left to fuel any kind of cerebral activity, let alone sentimentalism or games of the mind.
However, that does not mean I am not still thinking about them.
Just in a more dazed and confused manner of thinking.

Upon dragging myself out of bed this lazy Saturday morning, I discovered that I only had 1/2 c. of my favorite pancake mix left, and since 1 1/2 c. of it uses one egg, I didn't really feel like doing that much math/substitution. Lo and behold, they had a recipe underneath that I'd never seen on a pancake mix box before…cookies! What?! I'm so okay with cookies for breakfast, so I decided to give this one a shot. I had to quarter it since it uses 2 cups of mix, but the math wasn't hard. Glutino, thank you. These were delicious.
Pancake Mix Cookies
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and rummage in your fridge for some jam. I used raspberry.
Soften 1/4 c. butter or margarine (I'd say it's probably safe to assume coconut oil might work although your texture may be a bit different)
Add it to
2 c. Glutino Fluffy Pancake Mix
2 Tbsp sugar (which you can leave out if you want)
Once it's crumbly, add 2/3 c milk of choice (I used So Delicious Barista Style creamer in French Vanilla…nice twist!)
Blend until combined.
Drop by rounded Tbsp onto cookie sheet and flatten a bit, using a spoon to make a well in the center. Place a little bit of jam in the well (don't overfill or it'll run and burn).
Bake 10 minutes
Once cool, combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over top. I didn't make the glaze, and they're still tasty without it, but it's definitely a fun idea.
2/3 c. powdered sugar
1 Tbsp warm water
1/4 tsp vanilla
Note: Glutino pancake mix contains: brown rice flour, corn starch, white rice flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum

I would doubt if any Telecom dealers have any knowledge of this modem though, Telecom are as of yet not promoting or launching to the dealers, i think because they have a massive stockpile of Aircard 580's to sell.
Telstra have been selling 3/1 of these modems versus the PCMCIA cards in Aussie because they have superior signal gain than PCMCIA cards and they also work in a vairety of machines including desktops and MAC's.
Good option for those wanting a decent mobile data solution when outside of full coverage.

If you are one of the millions of Australians that believe mainstream media when they ask "what property crash??"…then this powerpoint presentation may be of interest to you.
As I have always encouraged readers – do your own due diligence. Read, research and look outside mainstream publications. No one cares more about your money and finances then YOU! So don't hand over all your financial decisions for other people to make for you. Educate yourself and take your control of your own financial future. Why pay a financial advisor or banker money to tell you what you can find out for yourself for FREE!
Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you".

May 14, 2015: As per the uncofirmed reports, hackers have used the Starbucks mobile application vulnerabilities to siphon money from credit cards' and paypal accounts linked to the consumers accounts.
The seattle based company acknowledged the problem on Wednesday, but denied any security breach in their app, and blamed the weak passwords by consumers as probable reason for theft.
In a statement, coffee company said: "Like all major retailers, the company has safeguards in place to constantly monitor for fraudulent activity activity and works closely with financial institutions."
The Starbucks app allows the users to pay for their drinks and food through their mobile. Hackers said to found the way to get in to the app anonymously to buy a new gift card and transfer the funds to themselves.
On a cautious note, company's statement adds: "If a customer believes their account has been subjected to fraudulent acitivity, they are encouraged to contact both Starbucks and their financial institution immediately. Customers are not responsible for charges or transfers they did not make. If a customer's card is registered, their account balance is protected."

Young Alexander Graham Bell grew up with his father's passions. In 1870, because of poor health, he migrated to Canada. It was not long before his success in teaching the deal to speak brought him to the attention of a wealthy merchant in Boston who had a deaf daughter, Mabel. Would Mr. Bell please teach Mabel how to speak? Yes, he would. And did. And they fell in love. It was she who inspired him through an of the exhausting experiments. who pulled him through the clepressioljs that often irtflict those whose drive to succeed is so intense, while he developed the then remarkable instrument that transformed speech into electrical impulses that could then be converted back into human speech at the end of a wire. he had pierced yet another solitude, the one that up until then had denied human speech between people distant from one another. A year later, in 1877, he and Mabel were married. He later became an American citizen.

The Amherst football team steamrolled through another opponent last weekend, defeating Hamilton 36-6 on Saturday, Sept. 23. With this win, Amherst's record now stands at 2-0.
Forcing a fumble on his tackle, linebacker Andrew Sommer '19 came up big in the first play from scrimmage for the purple and white, giving Amherst stellar field position deep in Hamilton Continental territory.
On the Mammoths' opening drive, quarterback Reece Foy '18, playing in his first game after getting injured early last season, breached the goal line after a one-yard quarterback sneak. However, Foy suffered a minor injury on the drive leaving him questionable for this weekend. Sophomore Ollie Eberth, who started the first game of the season, replaced him.
Hamilton looked better on their next drive, but on a fourth and one attempt from the Amherst 30-yard line, Avery Saffold '20 forced another fumble to get the Amherst offense on the field once again.
Later in the quarter, an intentional grounding by the Hamilton quarterback in their end zone resulted in a safety, making the score 9-0 in favor of Amherst.
The Mammoths found the end zone with 17 seconds to play in the first quarter following four straight rushing plays. Junior Jack Hickey rushed for a 14-yard gain and Foy ran for 15 yards to give Amherst a first-and-goal at the 4-yard line. Hickey finished off the drive, powering through the defense to reach the end zone.
Kicker John Rak '19 was the star of the second quarter, hitting a 41-yard field goal with three minutes left, and then another two minutes later from 48 yards out. The Mammoths played stellar defense in the first half, blanking the Continentals.
Amherst scored two more touchdowns within the first few minutes of the second half, making the score 36-0. Hickey had his second of the day on a 16-yard rush. On Amherst's next offensive drive, Elijah Ngbokoli '20 tallied his first TD of the season on a 39-yard run up the middle. Ngbokoli would end the day with 78 rushing yards.
Hamilton scored its only points of the day on an 8-play drive, resulting in a 31-yard touchdown pass. Amherst blocked the extra point , however, and neither team scored in the fourth quarter, making the final score of the game 36-6 in favor of the Mammoths.
Eberth played the majority of the game in the QB slot, going 7-9, while Nick Morales '19 went 3-5 and Foy went 1-3 with a touchdown. First-year Matt Durborow '21 notched a team-high seven tackles, while Sommer made six tackles along with his forced fumble.

In my post on typography part 2, I took a look at how knowing your target audience plays a key role in choosing a typeface. Once you've got your audience targeted, then another concern for your choice of typeface is the readability and legibility of your text.
"Legibility" is based on the ease with which one letter can be told from the other. "Readability" is the ease with which the eye can absorb the message and move along the line. — J. Ben Lieberman "Types of Typefaces"
If you have a message to send, you want to make sure your audience is able to read and understand it, right? There are a few aspects to consider as a designer to make sure that the text for your audience is easily digested.
The Typeface Itself
1. How readers perceive text – One of the key points to readability involves the knowledge of the reader. Let's start with the idea that as children, we learn the basic forms of letters. We have those forms in our repertoire of memory to access whenever we come across text. If the typeface is close to what we recognize, then the readability of the text is higher. Certain parts of the letters are used as key identifiers. For example, can you identify the word below?
The top half of the letter forms provide us with more clues as to which letters we perceive. Therefore the bottom word should be easier for you to identify as "Commentary". The same thing applies to the right and left halves of the letter forms. Which is easier to identify?
We rely on the right side of letter forms to help us identify letters easier. That is why it is easier to read the word "baseball" on the right.
When a typeface strays too far from the standard letter forms, then the readability of the text goes down.There are some typefaces that are easily recognizable by most audiences because they have been exposed to them for a longer period of time and more frequently. For example, some of the oldest typefaces of Roman descent are still the most recognizable today.
2. Where is your text going? – Will you publish it on a poster? A newspaper? A computer screen? The final media of the text has a great influence on what typefaces will have the best legibility and readability. This is a long conversation I will save for next time on my post about Digital vs. Print Typography.
The Layout of Text
When considering the readability and legibility of your text, it's not just the typeface that is important. Several other factors come into play to make your text easier to read.
1. Hierarchy – Hierarchy is the road map for how to read through a piece of text. It shows the reader where to start reading and guides them through to the end of the text. Hierarchy refers to using different sizes of text to separate and highlight ideas according to importance. Sometimes colors are implemented as well. Looking just at this blog post, you can see the hierarchy of text–the title, the headers, the body, quotes–all are given a different size and significance to lead you through the text. It plays an important role in how scannable your layout is for important ideas and reader interest. The more prominent your hierarchy, the easier your text is to read because readers don't feel so bogged down in text.
2. White space – White space, or negative space, refers to the space between design elements, such as the headers, body and images. White space helps to offset any large bodies of text and guides the reader's eyes through the text. It provides a natural separation between design elements. If you provide your design with a good balance of text and white space, you will increase the ease of reading because it allows places for the reader's eyes to rest between design elements.
3. Word and Line spacing – Not only is the white space between design elements important, but spaces between words and lines play just as important a role in the readability of your text. Look at the examples below of the spacing in each paragraph. Which one seems the easiest the read?
4. Letter spacing and weight – Once you have the word and line spacing right, it is important to check the spacing between the letters of your typeface. The amount of space between your letters can affect the legibility of your typeface. This can be done by adjusting the kerning of the letters. Some typefaces have a tight kerning, and with a serif font, the serifs can run together losing the ability of the reader to easily recognize letter forms.
Do you see homing, or horning? The kerning is so tight it's hard to tell.
Also, take a look at the weight of your letters. Is your font a bold font that may run the letters too close together? Changing the weight of the font may make it easier to read.
Although different fonts, you can see how the weight of the letters can make a big difference in readability. The one on the left has a thinner weight, and the letter forms are easier to discern. The one on the right has a heavier weight that tightens the letters closer together, making it harder to discern the letters as quickly as the other.
5. Text justification and making new paragraphs – With all the spacing going on, don't forget the justification, or alignment of your text. Your text may be easier to read if you make sure to give it a left alignment for the eyes to always come back to the same edge. Or if there are other design elements such as images that play a part, then a right justification may help your text to easily stand out. Centered text could also play a part. The justification of your text is an important aspect that contributes to the readability of your text.
I'll come back to the idea of white space again when I mention making new paragraphs. Sometimes readers take one look at the text and give up. It seems to go on and on forever and overwhelms them. By making your text into blocks of shorter paragraphs, you can increase the white space as well as increase the readability of your text. Readers don't feel so intimidated when the text is broken up into little pieces to take on one by one.
Contrast of Colors
Sometimes you can have the perfect typeface and layout, and it all goes out the window if you choose to place it in the wrong colors. The contrast of text and white space can be rendered invisible if the colors do not have a complementary contrast. Ever wonder why newspapers are in a black print on a white toned paper? Black and white is one of the most stark color contrasts. When reading large amounts of text people prefer black type on a white background and have this expectation for most copy. Designers work hard to meet this expectation while also incorporating contrasts of colors that accent a design. But even designers fall into a chasm every once in a while and forget the importance of text colors.
Be sure when choosing colors for text, that it is a contrast your readers will feel comfortable reading and that it improves the legibility of your text.
There are a lot of aspects to consider for text, besides just choosing a font or typeface, eh? By following these guidelines, you can improve the readability and legibility of your text. If you want to make sure you're sending the right message, then be certain that your audience can read it!

Brow/Forehead Lifts
The forehead area can be tightened and raised to help restore the proper position of the eyebrows or muscle adjustments can be made to help decrease the wrinkling of the forehead and minimize frown lines. This can be achieved either through endoscopic techniques that place the small incisions behind the hairline, or if hairline position needs to be adjusted, the surgical approach can be made at the hairline. This type of procedure can sometimes be performed at the same time as other facial rejuvenation procedures to optimize the results. Often brow lifts are performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

I think a lot of times people forget that the best investment strategy isn't one that has the highest theoretical max return (eg. ~38% return from net net stocks), but the investment strategy that suits your temperament.
This is because every investment strategy (similar to poker) requires a certain period of time (a.k.a. a full cycle) before luck / unluck weeds out and the actual returns to fully surface. And unfortunately for most people, not everyone can stick with any investment strategy through thick and thin to reap the full benefits at the end of each cycle.
Some investment strategies maybe too illiquid, some requiring too much inactivity, and some requiring too much monitoring. The list of reasons why not every investment strategy suits everyone is endless.
That's why I stick to wide moat stocks and diversify. I like to make one good decision (buy a great company at a bargain price) and not have to do much for the rest of time (why I like wide moat stocks). I like to feel comfortable that my portfolio can survive black swan events (why I like wide moat stocks and diversification). I like to study moats (why I like wide moat stocks). I like to spread my bets (why I like diversification). I like to know the buy and sell price of each of my stocks (why I like individual stocks).
Also knowing I had a fidgety temperament, I intentionally / unintentionally played tons of poker using a loose passive style to become callous to losing hands and internalize the lesson that short term losses are okay as long as your strategy generates long term profits.
Playing loose passive meant that I got to take a look at quite a lot of hands (which shielded whether I had great hands or not), and playing passive helped minimize the max. loss / hand while enticing others to raise heavily and frequently to try to scare me away. A lot of times I would be "scared away", but when I hit the motherload pre-flop or after the flop, my aggressive competitors were in for a world of hurt.
And it made me truly understand what Charlie Munger meant by "Experience tends to confirm a long-held notion that being prepared, on a few occasions in a lifetime, to act promptly in scale, in doing some simple and logical thing, will often dramatically improve the financial results of that lifetime". Internalizing that lesson has ultimately made me a better poker player, but also a better investor.
And what's better is, compared to poker where I had to pay a fee (when checking) to get the chance to participate in an opportunity to make money and was forced to pay to wait (big blinds / small blinds), the chance to participate in the stock market and waiting for a fat pitch is literally free
Going forward, these are going to be strong reasons why I'll have a good chance to stick with my investment strategy through thick and thin and reap the benefits over a full cycle.
So what's left? Hope I can actually walk the talk rather than talk the talk. This blog and my imaginary stock portfolio will be my testimony.
Not advice. No offer. Do not rely. May lose value. Risky. Conflicts hidden/obscured. (Borrowed from Terrence Yang's Disclaimer on Quora)

Neko Case
We saw her on Friday. She tuned her own guitars. Had a great band. And her voice live was flawless, definitely up there for me on "best performances live." I tried to get a picture I would've posted on the blog, but I couldn't turn off the flash and so it was just the back of a bunch of heads. There were many guys, and girls, there with obvious crushes. There's just something about her voice. The HighDive is a great rock bar, too. It's a lot of fun to see a band perform in such an intimate setting (this is where we saw My Morning Jacket a couple years ago as well).

Style is the manifestation of one's personality. Every writer has a natural, linguistic and idiosyncratic way of expressing ideas that leads to the identification of style with man and his thought. The manipulation of words by a writer creates a distinct style through which he/she reaches out to the audience. This research work focused on a stylistic analysis of selected socio-political poems of Christopher Okigbo. This aims at identifying Okigbo's unique use of language. Stylometrics was used as a theoretical framework for the study. The findings in this are that Okigbo's poems begin with some words in capitalisation which are foregrounded to the theme of the poems. He makes use of elements like repetition, alliteration, rhyme, parallelism and so on which add musical colour and rhythm to his poems. It is also evident his poems are sometimes prophetic, ritualistic and often address socio-political issues from a universal perspective. The work found out that each of the linguistic choices has an identifiable function that is performed in the poem. The study concludes that Christopher Okigbo's poems are musical in nature and highly figurative in language use.

Language use by individuals differs from one person to the other. This is because of the differences in language ability. Stylistics is a borderline discipline between language and literature. It focuses on language use in both literary and non-literary texts. Stylistics is also concerned with the study of the language of literature or the study of the language habits of particular authors and their writing patterns. Therefore, it can be said to be the study of style. Style on its own has been defined differently be scholars. According to Leech and Short (15), style is the cover of our feelings and it is the tool of the writer to transfer the message to readers. Leech further says "style proclaims the man" (11), that is, there is an intimate relationship between the choice of language and the author's personality. Haynes defines it as "the study of style is the study of differences" (3). This further drives home the point that our choice of diction differentiates us from others.
Language gives the reader a new perspective on familiar themes and allows us to look at them without the personal or social conditioning that we unconsciously associate with them (Widdowson 9). So, although the reader may still use the same exhausted words and vague terms like 'love', 'heart' and 'soul' to refer to human experience, to place these words in a new and refreshing context allows the poet the ability to represent humanity and communicate honestly. This, in part, is stylistics, and this, according to Widdowson, is the point of poetry (76).
Every writer's works can have a great influence on fore coming literary works even though their purpose is the same. This is because writers do not have the same approach when it comes to language. That is why one person's style can be different from another. Thus, this work will focuses on "A Stylistic analysis of selected Christopher Okigbo's socio-political poetry". This aims at revealing what has made Okigbo so popular in the literary world despite his short life.
Stylistics is the study of style. It is the description and analysis of the variable forms of linguistic items in actual language use. This research project intends to carry out a stylistic investigation of selected Christopher Okigbo's Socio-political Poems. When two or more authors write on a particular topic, the style of writing differs from one author to the other authors thereby distinguishing one from the others. This can be achieved through choice, deviation, conformity and so on. Okigbo has a style that is peculiar to him and differentiates his work from those of other authors. His style reveals his feelings about the socio-political situation in Nigeria. This research paper seeks to find out what is peculiar to his language.
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVESThe aim of this research is to carry out a stylistic analysis of some of Okigbo's socio-political poems. The objective is to give better understanding of the poems, thereby maximising the enjoyment of the poems.

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - Sgt. Gary Harmison leaned over to Deputy Scott Myers, showed him a piece of paper and asked what in the world Yu-Gi-Oh cards are.
Myers shrugged his shoulders, as bewildered as his fellow officer.
A visitor finally told the deputies that Yu-Gi-Oh is a video game character and the collectible cards are similar to baseball cards. Armed with that knowledge, both men nodded, grabbed their shopping carts and fanned out into the Martinsburg Kmart store.
Harmison and Myers were officers with the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department who shopped Wednesday evening for children in the community who need toys and clothes for Christmas.

Emperors Once More by Duncan Jepson, Mystery Women crime blog
We are in Hongkong in 2017. In this near future the premise is that a crisis summit for world leaders is held after China has bailed out a bankrupt Europe. We are experiencing a future history but since it is so near the variance is limited. Duncan Jepson is able to refer to events of the early 21st century to support his arguments. Hongkong is described as anyone who had been there would recognise but with the twist that all business has gone into China leaving the wealthy on the Peak but the rest of the city fairly empty and many people jobless. Detective Inspector Alex Soong is on a stakeout during a typhoon as the story begins. The story moves fast and furiously around the city. Alex, although he has been in Hongkong for several years, is an outsider in that he is a Mainland Chinese and has a prestigious father and grandfather and a wife from a wealthy family.
