As of this Friday morning July 15, 2016 a military coup to overthrow the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has apparently failed. However, claims that all of the coup plotters have been rounded up -- particularly those in the Turkish Air Force who apparently bombed the parliament building -- appear premature at this hour [6:27 a.m. Eastern time Saturday, July 16].
Turkish Coup Attempt Crumbles; Erdogan Returns After Crowds Answer Call To Streets https://t.co/wgAG87I4u0
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) July 16, 2016
UPDATE: This post has been updated as of 10:40 p.m. Eastern Time, July 16, 2016. Please check Bankster Slayer's new post "The Erdogan Purge Begins" for more information on the aftermath of the failed coup d'etat in Turkey and its infiltration and co-opting by Erdogan loyalists. Below is a discussion of how Team Rogue Money accurately predicted this coup, as well as some analyses of Russia's reaction to the plot and various players including the Russians potential foreknowledge of the putsch. - JWS
We should start this post by saying those of us on Team RogueMoney called this military coup in Turkey many months ago. In August 2015 the Russia Analyst suggested that Erdogan could eventually be overthrown in a coup and blamed as the 'fall guy' for the spectacular rise of the Islamic State, rather than Washington or Riyadh. In an early January appearance on the John B. Wells Caravan to Midnight program, Team Rogue Money's Ken Shortgen Jr. forecasted a coup in Ankara sometime in 2016. In a post here at RogueMoney on March 20, Deb "BanksterSlayer" Carruthers, citing the reporting of Damascus-based French analyst Thierry Meyssan and Washington-based independent journalist Webster Griffin Tarpley, also wrote that Obama and Putin had come to a secret agreement: Erdogan must go. Rising Turkish Army casualties at the hands of the PKK using both Western and Russian-made weapons, as well as Erdogan's desperate about turn to Moscow and noises about making peace with Assad prior to this coup, have all vindicated our reporting.
In other words: if you want to keep track of what's really going on in the rapidly changing and confusing world of geopolitics, Team RogueMoney is where it's at!

The Washington Establishment and Mainstream Media as House Divided: 'Realists' and Anti-Islamists Support Coup Against Erdogan, Neocons and Neoliberals Oppose It Along with the Obama White House
Anglo-American media after showing a remarkable ambiguity for several hours have tilted decisively towards a Narrative of 'people power' defeating the efforts of the military, which for the most part hesitated to open fire on crowds quickly assembled in the streets to defend the elected but increasingly dictatorial Erdogan. Television cameras captured the images of many soldiers surrendering to police without a fight and being beaten by enraged mobs, with many conscripts saying they were told to participate in an exercise and knew nothing of a coup.
Perhaps more coup military killed at this point than civilian collateral damage. https://t.co/yTUVcAVegn

Neoconservatives desperate to see Turkey continue its support for the anti-Assad jihadists in Syria are gloating at this hour on Twitter. They should probably check back in a week to see whether any of the anti-Erdogan elements of the military decide in defeat to take out some of the warehouses full of TOW missiles and other CIA goodies for Syria's 'moderate' rebels on Turkish soil.
As the pro-Damascus Al-Masdar News reported two days ago, the Saudis prior to the coup had threatened the Turks with their own state potentially being dismembered if they stopped supporting the partition of Syria in favor of Riyadh's jihadists. In a 'coincidence' that surely is not indicative of foreknowledge of a planned coup in Ankara, Washington decided to release the controversial and long hidden 28 pages of a U.S. House of Representatives Committee report on Riyadh's involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks Friday as the coup dominated U.S. and international headlines.
Meanwhile, while all distracted by Turkey:
Congress releases long-secret '28 pages' indicating Saudi ties to 9/11 https://t.co/psdp81KaIR
— BANKSTER SLAYER (@banksterslayer) July 16, 2016
At any rate, this coup likely had less to do with the defeat of Ankara's proxies in Syria than the Turkish military's decades-old enemies: the Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood who support Erdogan and who were crushed by a popular military coup in Egypt, and the Kurdish PKK militants. According to Southfront's analysis and many others this coup may have represented the last gasp of the old NATO Gladio aligned Kemalist or secular military officer corps, which Erdogan now has the chance to finally and fully purge Stalin-style.

Russia's Angle and the Odd Coincidence of Alexander Dugin's Being in Turkey
Russian television is reporting that before holding a press conference and rallying with supporters to try and project an image of still being in charge and unafraid, Erdogan had sought political asylum in Germany -- a request which NBC news also reported was rejected by Berlin. [UPDATE: Some have dismissed these reports as disinfo put out by the coup plotters to discredit Erdogan and demoralize his supporters, which clearly did not work - JWS] Oddly enough, Alexander Dugin the controversial Eurasianist ideologue was speaking in Turkey on Thursday, the day before the coup. In remarks cited by the pro-government Daily Sabah newspaper, Dugin blamed the Turkish Air Force's ambush shoot down of a Russian SU-24 jet last November on a CIA conspiracy to destroy Russo-Turkish relations. Dugin also argued that Washington now wants to carve Turkey up through the Establishment of a greater Kurdistan that would also include much of northern Syria.
Strange Bedfellows: Unlike in the 'Maidan Revolution' in Kiev, This Time It Really Was a CIA-Sponsored Coup According to Longtime Kremlin Critic Robert Amsterdam
In response to the coup, Dugin's think tank Katehon is taking the same line as Erdogan's spokesmen. In another irony of the situation, a former Kremlin critic and lawyer for anti-Putin oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Robert Amsterdam, is saying that the military coup was inspired if not directed by the CIA sponsored and Pennsylvania based cleric Fethullah Gulen, and his network of sympathizers in the military. Here in an updated insert is Robert Amsterdam's statement on what his 'Turkish intelligence sources' have told him [note Amsterdam appears to be a registered lobbyist for the Erdogan government]:
Needless to say, to the average alternative media watcher much less the ordinary American or European on the street, these Turkish intrigues are all very confusing. Nonetheless, as with the terror attack at the Istanbul airport blamed on ISIS member Caucasian jihadists linked to ex-Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili's intelligence service, the timing of this coup, after Turkey sought rapprochement with Russia if not directly with Syria stinks.
At the same time, given Erdogan's extensive support for ISIS and his family's profiting from the Islamic State's illicit oil trade, there will no doubt be millions in the Mideast and around the world today who will wonder why the Turkish coup plotters learned nothing from the failure of Operation Valkyrie, or didn't wait until July 20th so that no one, especially the Germans, would miss the reference to the failed plot to kill Hitler. On the other hand, the fact that Erdogan was not physically harmed will fuel speculation that the plotters only received a 'green light' from Washington and Langley on the condition that the Sultan not be touched. As it turned out, that may have been partially what doomed the coup. But it remains unclear, even if the plotters had reneged on their 'deal' with Washington and taken Erdogan out, if the Turkish President's legacy of de-secularizing Turkish society would not have seen to it that an even more hardline Islamist would succeed him.

In 2007, St. Mary's conducted a Capital Campaign entitled "Investing in our Future". The goal was to build up an Endowment Trust. The campaign initially generated about $600,000. In November 2011, it gained official status as a legal corporation. As of January 2015, market growth and additional donations had brought the total value up to $1,074,673.69.
The Board of Trustees consists of Bishop Callahan, Monsignor Michael Gorman, Fr. Sakowski and five lay parishioners: Richard Kneer, Dave Stearns, Charlie Thurner, Mike Buck and Mark Willer. The board meets at least once annually and exercises fiduciary oversight to ensure the following: 1) that the funds are invested responsibly; 2) that annual distributions are made; 3) that these distributions are used in a way that honors the purpose of the Endowment.
The purpose, as stated in our Endowment document, is as follows: "(a) Primarily for the reduction of school tuition at St. Mary's Elementary School; (b) secondarily for tuition reduction at the Regis Catholic Schools' Middle School and High School; and © for assistance to parish members attending Catholic Seminaries for the express purpose of ordination to the priesthood."
As with every endowment, we never touch the principal. The idea is to receive annual distributions from the market earnings, year after year, while not spending the original gift. As a general rule of planning, you can hope to receive 3% annually. In other words, our Endowment should yield us an average of $30,000 per year, as long as God blesses us with a parish and a nation.
To date, all distributions have been used to help with the St. Mary's Tuition Voucher program. The annual cost of this program is approximately $80,000. The Endowment will cover about $30,000 of it. Bingo provides another $25,000. Envelope giving covers the rest.
We'd like to ask you to prayerfully consider making a donation to the St. Mary Parish Endowment Trust as part of our Fr. Wilger Annual Appeal.
You can donate online via PayPal using the "Donate" button below. You can also donate by contacting Elaine Welin at (715) 855-1294 or at email@example.com.
We are looking to connect with those who attended St. Mary's Elementary School in order to encourage them to support the Endowment and, in turn, make a difference in the lives of current St. Mary's Elementary School students.
If you are an alumni who would like to be added to our mailing list, please contact the Parish Office at (715) 855-1294 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can also "LIKE" our St. Mary's Elementary School Alumni Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/StMarysElementarySchoolAlumni for information on the Endowment and what's happening day-to-day at St. Mary's Elementary!

Step 3: Consume Low Carbohydrate Foods
Low carbohydrate consumption is an important aspect of any healthy program because high carbohydrate diets are the main cause of failing health. Carbohydrates are any foods not classified as protein or fat, including vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits, herbs and spices.
Since grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and fruit (except lemons and limes) are not included on a healthy program this leaves a wide variety of vegetables, herbs and spices that are healthy to consume. Since it is very important to consume high fats, proteins, and low carbs on this program you will need to Calculate Protein, Fat & Carb Ratios.
Some foods contain all three food groups, i.e. eggs, some vegetables, herbs, spices, etc. To find out the amount of grams of each food group contained in foods you eat go to: http://www.fitday.com. You need to sign up, but there is no obligation. Do not translate your gram ratios to any kind of weight or measurement. Instead, use a nutritional calculator to find out the quantity of foods to consume to meet your ratios by following the instructions in Fitday.com – How to use it.
Take Basic Supplements
It is important to take some essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in supplement form in addition to foods. However, you are advised to only take the recommended supplements on this program.
You will be much more successful if you only take the supplements listed below. If you are currently taking any other supplements or herbs, or you are taking drugs, hormones (birth control pills), antibiotics, medicines, etc. it is advisable that you gradually go off of them since they will interfere with the nutrients on this program and even stop or slow the healing processes.
Many supplements, herbs, extracts, and other natural substances are recommended by some naturopaths, dieticians, and other healthcare practitioners because they do not know or understand what constitutes a "truly" healthy nutritious diet. Consequently they recommend many supplements that are easily obtained on this healthy program. Your body is smart enough to balance out all of its nutrient and hormones levels by giving it what it needs.
Remember that More Is Not Better!
Many healthcare practitioners, although well—meaning, treat specific symptoms, malfunctioning organs, and disorders, just like doctors do with drugs. They may perscribe extracts to treat the thyroid, adrenal glands, and so on. However this often causes more harm than good. That is because such substances can throw off already delicate hormone balances. Therefore the focus must be on treating the "cause" which is mainly the lack of nutrients, rather than on the "signs" of poor health.
As the body heals and detoxifies itself naturally it becomes stronger, and all organs throughout the body will begin to normalize. However, if you are taking hormones or other nutrients, like iodine or medications for the thyroid, or adrenal hormones it will throw those organs into a tizzy; so they won't be able to recover and function normally. Instead their functioning will become extremely erratic and unpredictable.
Most "extra" supplements are totally unnecessary, often causing adverse side effects or they are a waste of money. A good example of this are iodine supplements like Lugol's, as well as kelp, seaweed and other green supplements. Not only are green supplements too strong for sick people to handle but they also contain too much iodine, since your body only requires "trace amounts" of it. All of your body's requirements for iodine can easily be met by eating butter, by taking a "good" ocean sea salt and by drinking natural water. The fact is that too much iodine is just as damaging to the body as too little.
Minerals can only be utilized in the body if you get the correct combination of good fats recommended on this program, including cod liver oil (contains omega 3, and vitamins A & D), vitamin E, saturated fats like unrefined coconut oil, butter, lard, and other animals fats. Of course all of the nutrients work together on this programs, i.e. protein, vitamins, minerals, fats, etc.
Your body makes amino acids very easily from real foods like meats and eggs, and they are so much easier to digest than any type of processed amino acid supplements. Also see Not Recommended Supplements, Treatments, Etc.
There are only seven (7) macrominerals required by the body in amounts of 200 mg or more per day – all of the rest of the minerals are only required in "trace amounts":
- Calcium – foods plus supplement
- Magnesium – foods plus supplement
- phosphorus – found in all animal meats and eggs
- potassium – found in many foods, i.e. eggs, meats and vegetables (especially green one)
- sulphur – found in eggs, meats, lemons, garlic and many other foods
- chloride – contained in ocean sea salt
- sodium – contained in ocean sea salt
- Note: chloride plus sodium IS salt.
Basic Supplements List:
Calcium and Magnesium Citrate must be bought separately and taken in equal amounts. When bought separately it is easier to take more or less of each as needed, in case you need to take more or less of either one. Many products combine calcium and magnesium supplements with a ratio of 2:1 (calcium to magnesium), in which case a separate supplement of magnesium citrate is necessary in order to equal out the ratios. Do not buy calcium or magnesium supplements containing other nutrients like potassium, zinc, vitamin D, etc.
Most physicians, health care practitioners, and nutritionist recommend taking 1,000 to 1,500 mg of calcium daily. Taking high amounts of calcium without magnesium will deplete magnesium in the body, so taking such high amounts of calcium will be very damaging in the long run. Some may recommend magnesium also be taken, but many do not. Some may only recommend a ratio of 1:3 calcium to magnesium. However, this is not correct and it can cause serious health issues.
Most people nowadays are more deficient in magnesium than in calcium, so it is important to take at least an equal amount, or a 1:1 ratio, until you see how your body reacts. The amounts may vary a little, depending upon the amount of calcium in your diet and the condition of your digestive system. Most people will do very well on 600 mg each of calcium and magnesium per day, taken in two doses of 300 mg each.
Also consuming grains, nuts, and seeds that aren't properly prepared binds up minerals in the intestines, so they are unavailable to your body. That is because Nature coats them with a substance called phytates which is necessary to protect them, that must be removed by proper soaking and/or leavening (like sourdough) before they are fit for human consumption. They also are coated with an enzyme that interferes with protein digestion – see Grains, Nuts, Seeds & Legumes Must Be Properly Prepared. That is why there are no grains, nuts, seeds or legumes on this Candida Diet.
Eggshells are a great source of calcium. Eggshell calcium contains healthy, balanced calcium because it also contains trace amounts of other minerals. Eggshell calcium is probably the best natural source of calcium, and it is easier for your body to digest and absorb than tablets or capsules. One-half (1/2) teaspoon of powdered eggshells equals 400 mgs of calcium. See Calcium Made From Eggshells.
Calcium and Magnesium Doses: Take 300 mg of calcium citrate two times a day, along with 300 mg of magnesium citrate two times a day, for a total of 600 mg per day of each. Do not take more than 500 mg of calcium at a time since your body cannot process it properly. If you drink 4 cups of Mineral–Rich Bone Broth daily you do not need to take any calcium or magnesium supplements. Also when you consume a whole can of sardines you may only need 1/2 a dose of calcium.
Vitamins A & D, and Omega-3, Recommended Daily Amounts:
- Vitamin A: 20,000 to 30,000 IU
- Vitamin D: 800 to 1,200 IU
- Omega-3: 2,000 to 3,000 mg (includes EPA plus DHA listed separately on the label.
Note: Fish "livers" contain omega 3 and vitamins A and D, while fish oil is from the body of the fish and it only contains Omega 3 and no vitamins A and D.
In Summer the sun produces vitamin D on the oils of the skin, however, I believe it is difficult to almost impossible, for most people today to get enough vitamin D from the sun since there are so many factors involved, including having enough oils built up on the skin, and not showering or bathing too often using chlorinated water and soap which removes natural oils, etc.—see Vitamin D – Amount of Sun Exposure Required for more details.
For that reason I recommend everyone take cod liver oil all year. See Cod Liver Oil Products or Brands with Nutrient Levels which compares some brands, and gives doses along with extra supplements that are required in order to obtain the Recommended Daily Amounts (above). You will see in that article that The best overall brand of cod liver oil is Garden of Life Olde World Icelandic Cod Liver Oil (glass bottle).
Vitamin B Complex, Niacin (B3) & Thiamine (B1)
All B vitamins supplements do not have to be balanced, so it is safe to take extra B vitamins as recommended, including Niacin (B3) and Thiamine (B1) when you are also taking Vitamin B Complex at the same time.
Vitamin B Complex, two alternatives:
Note: If you cannot buy a vitamin B complex that contains niacin, and instead it contains a non-flushing niacin called niacinamide, you need to buy "true" niacin (B3) separately and take it in addition to vitamin B complex that contains niacinamide.
Niacin causes a flush, which includes red and itchy skin because it dilates blood vessels, even the tiniest capillaries, which releases radiation and is important for the body's detoxification processes. Be sure to buy niacin in 50 mg or 100 mg size, and not 500 mg, otherwise your niacin flush will be extremely uncomfortable, but it is not damaging.
Radiation from the sun and other sources, along with many other toxins, build up in the body – remember all those terrible sunburns? Radiation is eliminated by taking niacin (B3), which also helps the body get rid of heavy metals, other toxins, and it also oxygenates the body. Niacin is very important for the detoxification pathways in the body so they can function like they should. But as always, all nutrients work together, so Niacin alone doesn't help.
A niacin flush causes the skin to turn red and tingle, and it will feel hot and itchy. This particularly happens in the face, neck, and ears. Dry skin can also been experienced. The hot feeling is similar to "hot flashes" experienced by women during menopause. "Flushing" occurs because the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) are opening up in the skin. This usually lasts less than 1 hour, but it is not harmful in any way. Do not buy non-flushing niacin, called niacinamide, since it does not provide the same benefits as "true" Niacin (B3). Do not be concerned if you do not get a niacin flush when you first start on this program, and do not increase doses because you are not getting a flush.
- Nutritional Yeast "Flakes"—ensure you buy the "flakes" and not just "nutritional yeast" of any kind, which contain active yeasts which will cause problems for unhealthy people. There are many good brands available, including Red Star, Frontier, NOW, KAL, etc. Take two (2) heaping tablespoons per day, mixed into water, soup, Bee's Egg Drink or other foods. It has a nutty flavor that most people and children like. It contains Niacin (B3) which will cause a flush, including red and itchy skin, which is nothing to be concerned about – see Niacin (B3) for more information.
- Vitamin B Complex tablets or capsules —Buy a Vitamin B Complex brand that is balanced (also called synergistic, which means the same thing), since all of the B vitamins work together. It should contain the following B vitamins (Note: Buy a brand that contains most of the B vitamins listed below, that is in the amounts given):
- 50 mg Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine)
- 50 mg Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin)
- 50 mg Niacin (not niacinamide which is synthetic) – see Note Below
- 50 Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine)
- 50 mcg Vitamin B-12
- 50 mcg Biotin
- 1 mg Folic Acid
- 50 mg D-Pantothenic Acid
- 50 mg Choline
- 50 mg Inositol
- 50 mg Para Amino Benzoic Acid (PABA)
- Take Thiamine (B1) in addition to Vitamin B Complex and Niacin (B3). Additional thiamine improves sleep, prevents nightmares, improves appetite, helps digestion, helps the bowels move, improves mood, memory and depression, helps alleviate cravings, increases serotonin, helps the heart and circulation, improves liver function, and is vital for the brain and nervous system.
- Vitamin B Doses — the doses below are taken "two times a day with meals".
Note: Even though Nutritional Yeast Flakes contain niacin (B3) and thiamine (B1) it is advisable to also take the doses recommended above.Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Note: To avoid getting loose stools (diarrhea) from vitamin C, which is called the bowel tolerance level, start with 500 mg 2-3 times a day and gradually increase it. Diarrhea is also a detoxifying symptom that your body creates in order to get rid of toxins, so vitamin C may not be the cause.
Ascorbic acid powder or crystals are less expensive to take than vitamin C tablets. However, ascorbic acid can upset the stomach so it should be taken with foods/meals. Also it can be hard on the teeth, so rinse your mouth well after drinking it.
Do not use sodium ascorbate, since it contains calcium and magnesium, or possibly baking soda. If there is any calcium and magnesium in your vitamin C you will not be able to regulate taking the correct amounts of calcium and magnesium. Baking soda is high in sodium which is diuretic, meaning it makes the body get rid of water and minerals along with it.
Vitamin C Dose: Take 4,000 mg total per day, divided between 3 meals. Start with 500 mg twice a day and gradually increase it to avoid getting loose stools. If you get loose stools lower the dose for awhile and take more time to increase the amounts.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E (natural source only). Natural source vitamin E is indicated by the "d" in front of the different types of vitamin E, i.e. d-alpha-tocopherol. The synthetic version begins with "dl", i.e. dl-alpha-tocopherol. Clear Base or dry base formulas are soy-free, but evidently soy-derived vitamin E supplements do not contain the damaging substances found in other soy products.
Vitamin E Dose: Take 200 IU twice a day or 400 IU once a day. If you are already taking a higher dose of vitamin E continue on that dose since your body will be used to it. However, no one should take more than 800 IU per day, except for short periods of time since higher doses can interfere with the balance of fats, oils, and oil soluble vitamins.
- Eat the correct ratios of protein to fat to carbs from nutrient-dense foods as close to Mother Nature as possible — see Calculate Protein, Fat & Carbs Ratios. The high "good" fats diet, along with supplements, helps pull nutrients out of all foods consumed, including minerals, and there are many important minerals in meats and eggs.
- By taking calcium/magnesium supplements, noted above.
- Consume at least 1 cup of a mineral-rich bone broth per day. It should be a "true" bone broth where the bones have been soaked and cooked in an acidic medium, and simmered long enough on low heat to pull the minerals out of the bones — see Mineral-Rich Bone Broth recipe.
- By drinking, and cooking with, good filtered tap water that contains natural minerals as close to Mother Nature as possible. Do not use reverse osmosis or distilled water, since they are devoid of minerals, and actually leach (pull out) minerals in the body. Adding minerals to the water doesn't help, since it won't stop the leaching, and it isn't possible for processed minerals to duplicate Mother Nature's natural minerals.
Therefore it is better to use a simple filter, like Brita or PUR, which filters out chlorine and some contaminates, so you are getting natural occurring minerals, or buy a good reputable Spring water. Another alternative is to boil water for 30 minutes to get rid of chlorine and some contaminates.
Do not be concerned about fluoride in your water, since you will be eliminating all other sources of toxic fluoride on this program, including dental treatments, toothpaste, and processed foods and drinks. Fluoride is much more dangerous when there are many sources that accumulate in your body, rather than just one source like water.
You should never drink softened water since it is high in sodium which is diuretic, meaning it makes the body get rid of water along with important minerals.
- Consume "good" ocean sea salt every day that contains over 84 minerals — Light Grey Celtic Brand Ocean Sea Salt is available at iHerb. Ocean sea salt provides the correct of "true" sodium and chloride that are 2 of the 7 macrominerals required in higher amounts every day. As noted above, there are enough macrominerals, other than calcium, magnesium, sodium and chloride, contained in the diet, i.e. potassium, sulphur, and phosphorus.
Do not use Redmond's Sea Salt since it only contains 54 minerals, and not 84 minerals like "true" ocean sea salts.
The grey color of ocean sea salt indicates the amount of minerals in it, and it should be moist. The larger the crystals and the moister it is, the more minerals it will contain, as opposed to fine grades (finely ground) of the same salt that are lighter grey.
Since good ocean sea salt is coarse and moist it is not possible to grind it in a regular pepper or salt grinder, so special grinders must be used. It can be ground it up in a coffee grinder, but the grinder should be cleaned and left to dry out otherwise it will cause it to rust. It is much better to sprinkle large moist crystals on foods or into drinks with your fingers, rather than grinding them up.
Ocean Sea Salt Doses: — Consume 1.5 teaspoons of large gray crystals or 1 teaspoon of fine grades (ground up) per day of "good" ocean sea salt, taken in divided doses with meals by sprinkling them on foods and/or added to water.
The best way to obtain all of the minerals your body needs is:
Supplement References You Will Need: Candida Supplements – Description & Doses and Candida Supplements Chart.
- 50 mg of Vitamin B Complex OR one heaping tablespoon of Nutritional Yeast Flakes – see Note below.
- 50 mg of Niacin (B3) if "true" niacin is not in the Vitamin B complex. Be sure to buy 50 or 100 mg tablets and not 500 mg. If the tablet is 100 mg, cut it in half so you aren't getting too much at one time.
- Take 100 mg of Thiamine (B1).

Fashionable riders and steadily increasing ridership in the South Korean capital.
Seoul, South Korea, is a city with grandiose ambitions and a track record of fulfilling them through drastic measures. This capital city rose from the rubble of war and dictatorship to become an industrial and pop culture center in the 1990s by pumping millions of dollars into heavy industry, film, television, and Korean popular music (K-pop), and thereby became successful across Asia by sheer investment and determination.
Now this mighty city has turned its sights on bicycling, announcing an aggressive plan in 2009 to build 129 miles (207 kilometers) of bike lanes. "The government has many paved paths and I am seeing more areas with cycle paths," engineer Tex Kang said. "Korea is the land of doers and they are steadily doing many great things for cycling in Korea."
South Korea as a whole has big plans for cycling and its citizens. Former President Lee Myung-bak began the construction of a loop of bicycling paths that would allow Seoul residents to traverse the entire country uninterrupted on two wheels – now also used for the Tour de Korea, a seven day professional road race.
With trips by bike clocking in at approximately one and a half percent of total transportation trips, Seoul is not the kind of massive bicycling city that Portland is, where an estimated six percent of the population cycles. But the municipality of Seoul aims to change all of that: aspiring for 7.6 percent of its population to be biking by 2016, and 10 percent by 2020.
"Bike ridership is rapidly growing in Seoul," said Stephen Kwak, a manager at the Seoul Tourism Organization. The City of Seoul hopes to relieve traffic and subway crowding through increased cycling. An aggressive campaign called the Weekly No Driving Day program holds citizens accountable by registering them online, monitoring car usage through an RFID tag on the windshield, and providing incentives such as a reduction in automobile taxes, discounted gas, free parking, and car washing.
Seoul's Weekly No Driving Day program has decreased traffic by 3.7 percent, and has reduced C02 vehicle emissions by 10 percent, according to the climate organization C40. Asthma and air quality are major issues in Seoul; this program may prove to be a boon for health. "It may be because traffic is getting more congested … or simply people discovering and prioritizing the benefits of exercise," Kang said.
Seoul takes a carrot-and-stick approach to encourage cycling – from enforcement to conveniences that sweeten the deal. To increase safety, it plans to build protected bike lanes, improve signage, and fine drivers who park in bike lanes. Bike parking at subway stations, elevators to above-ground transportation, showers, expansion of the public bike share, and extension of bicycle paths to residential areas are all part of the City's ambitious plan: Seoul Traffic Vision 2030.
The current biking scene in Seoul revolves around a river as central to Seoul as the Thames is to London. "I mostly ride by the Han River which is one of the best spots in world," said Kwak. With 50 miles (80 kilometers) of bike paths featuring stunning water views spanning both sides of the Han River, Kwak may be right. Like the Thames, the Han connects many neighborhoods in this massive metropolis. On sunny afternoons, riders can stop at Jamsil Swimming Pool for a swim, put on cleats for a soccer game, or head to Jamsil Baseball Stadium to take in a game. In the evening, twinkling city lights and beautifully lit bridges span the river, making night riding a scenic date activity. Riders can spend an entire afternoon just circumnavigating the river. Free bikes are available at neighborhood stations in Jamsil, YeongCheonGu, Hongjecheon, Oksu, and Sanggye.
"At night, all of the paths are lit up and the cityscape along the Han is just breathtaking. You can stop at any spot and have a picnic, beer, and relax – whatever you are into," said Luc Tremblay, owner of Seoul Cycle TEXT, a bike community group.
With their long work hours, Seoulites take recreation seriously, and the riverbanks' bike paths are crowded during weekends with pleasure riders. "Koreans love to work hard and play harder," said Tremblay. "So there is always something interesting to see and do."
There is however a new Seoul rider taking shape beyond the pleasure rider, called the ja-chuljohk. This commuter rides to work and home, often using the Han as a bicycle superhighway, blowing off steam after a hard workday. "Commuting is very popular in Seoul," said Kwak. "The Han River goes through the center of the city and became the perfect way to commute by bicycle."
Alex Paik, Director of AP Communications, commutes by bike to his office half of the week, a quick zip of 10 minutes. "Mostly it depends on whether I'm going to ride afterwards," said Paik. "The office is in the Hongdae/ Hapjeong area, five minutes away from the river that goes straight through the city, and important for bike riders because it takes you easily to any spot in Seoul." Many commuters argue, however, that Seoul must do more to make commuting convenient.
One solution could be Seoul's public bikes, which are similar to those found in New York, Paris, and Montreal. The bikes feature a display showing distance biked and are a bit heavier than the average Seoulite's bike, though not as heavy as other bike share bicycles. Theft of the bikes is rare. However, time limits on the public bikes and not enough docking stations prevent their usage as quick commuting bikes. "With good knowledge of where all the stations are, the bikes could be used for commuting as well, but I think most people just use them to ride around a little bit for fun," said Paik.
Like other urban dwellers who work long, sedentary hours, Seoulites relish the chance for exercise and fun. "It's great cardio," said Kwak. "Since Seoul is surrounded by mountains, it has long been mountain biking dominated, but now the road bike population is growing very fast amongst younger generations."
Hiking in nature is a longstanding national pastime in Korea and Seoul residents are finding that biking can help them see even more of it. "A lot of people bike for seeing good nature," said Paik. "My friend bikes every weekend in the mountains, and I bike 20 minutes to all these nature preserves and feel like I'm completely out of the city, which is great. West of here, there are a bunch of camping sites with nice scenic routes that are really great for biking."
And Seoulites are social when it comes to their two wheels. "There are many bike groups that any person or any age or interest can join," said Kang. Social events like monthly, themed bike rides by the music-pumping Seoul Bike Party and Seoul Critical Mass; biking groups like the Han River Riders and the Filthy Freeriders; bike workshops; and brand launching parties also draw locals in droves. "Koreans are very group-oriented, so there are often groups just biking together, and if you sit down and chill, you can almost have your very own bike show," said Tremblay.
Paik participated in the Seoul Bike ride: 5,000 cyclists rode 19 miles (30 kilometers) down car-free main roads in the city starting at the city center Gwanghwamun. "The mayor gave a speech beforehand where he said he wanted to make Seoul a better place for bike riders," said Paik. Some of the bike socializing in Seoul revolves around popular bike shops, which have their loyal regulars. Kwak prefers Apgujeong Cycles and Watts Cycling, while Tremblay frequents Awesome Bike Store – a Trek concept store located near the bike path on Yangjae Creek. Riders often drop by to have a beer or makgeolli, Korean rice wine, and discuss biking with the employees.
"There are lots of creative shops around Seoul – too many to visit in one month," said Tremblay. "I still keep finding new stores after years of being here. It's great to have a local spot to hang out around nice bikes and feel like I'm part of a social club where I can relax and occasionally buy cool products. I got my new Trek 520 there."
Seoulites love fashion and that extends to their designer bikes; Seoul has proven to be big business for bike companies both domestic and international. "All the international brands are aggressively promoting here," said Kwak. With this rise in popularity, Seoulites are seeing a divide in the style of bikes that are popular amongst different groups.
"Personally, I've noticed a definite trend of younger kids riding fixed gears to school and business men riding to work early and taking a shower at the gym closest to their work," said Kang. Jacob Jang, a student who rides a Scott road bike, sees an age divide in the types of ridership. "Really so many people are starting to ride bikes," Jang said. "Many old people want to ride mountain bikes, but young people want hybrid bikes or road bikes."
Paik noticed the prevalence of fashionable road bikes in his neighborhood of Hongdae. "Younger, hip, trendy biking culture is mostly in Hongdae right now," he said. "If you're young, it's for fun and for getting around the neighborhood. In my neighborhood, it's a fashion statement and leisure thing, because there's a hipster culture. Definitely I see a lot more young people riding in my neighborhood, which is a bit of an anomaly, a subculture a little like Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York. If you're looking for indie bands, indie culture, you'll most likely find it there."
From fixie fans in skinny jeans in hipster Hongdae to punk BMX to trick riders under the Banpo Bridge, style influences biking for fashionable, brand-conscious Seoulites. Several Seoulites commented on the tendency for riders in their city to pick the most expensive, trendy bike, rather than what they really need for functionality.
Seoul riders may be starting to shift gears slowly, trending away from expensive, over-the-top luxury bicycles and toward a more practical focus. "A decade ago a bike was a luxury item, and still is to a point," said Michael Eberle, owner of Zero Cycles, a custom titanium frame bike company based in Seoul. "Others are starting to ride for the fun of it, and that's awesome to see."
Cargo bikes don't seem to have caught on in Seoul the way they have in the West yet, but pedicabs ferry tourists around picturesque areas like Seoul's Bukchon Village. An extremely hilly city in certain areas, a pedicab can save tourists an uphill hike. Even though they may be on two wheels, Seoulites, in a city with lightning fast broadband and Wi-Fi, can't seem to leave behind their smartphones.
"A lot of people are always touching their phones, so they're part of the bikes. Most people have their smartphone holder up here," said Paik, gesturing to the handlebars of his bike. "So there are great bike apps for Seoul. The one I've been using is T map bike, a talking Korean app. Put in your start and end, and you'll get your distance and path log, your high speed, average speed, calories burned, everything."
Juwon Kang, author of the blog K-law Guru, sees a need for increasing protections and laws with growing ridership in Seoul. "Securing a safe bicycle path is crucial," J. Kang said. "Many cars and pedestrians drift in and out of bicycle paths. Most bicycle insurance policies only cover personal injuries to that cyclist. Very few cover injuries to others or bicycle theft. With the growing number of bicycle-related accidents, cyclists could benefit from wider coverage."
"Seoul, as any other city, has its ups and downs," Tremblay said. "However Seoul is a real cool city to cycle through. There is lots of style, there are cool bikes, and people committed to cycling." Despite challenges, bicycling in Seoul gives one of the same benefits that bicycling in Portland, New York, Paris, Beijing, or Sydney does. "No matter how long, what time of the day I ride, it feels like I'm on a fun trip," said Kwak. "I feel free."

Any foreigner (or Korean really) biking in Korea should be aware that they have unlimited and unconditional liability for any reckless action of a pedestrian, limited possibly, and still only partially by video evidence. Pedestrians are given almost zero responsibility for their actions in Korea, and a collision with one, if not settled, produces a large fine and a police record similar to a criminal record. The result is that people do intentionally instigate accidents and can profit from them, beyond actual expenses, in settlements. Neither the insurance companies nor the law even consider it as as fraudulent if the "victim" recovers medical expenses twice from both the cyclist and the insurance. All cyclists should make sure to carry general personal liability insurance, and may want to invest in a couple of cameras.
Korea has a wonderful cycling opportunities but a backwards unjust legal system that replaces personal responsibility with strict liability, that contains no presumption of innocence, that criminalizes common negligence, and encourages extortion. It is not a cyclist friendly country.

As the name [i]KAPURUSH ([/i]The Coward) suggests, the hero(!!!) Amitabha Roy could never gather enough courage to marry his girl-friend Karuna even though she implores him, on the ground that he did not have a job. He, evidently, was not man enough.
When he gets to meet her after many years, she is a married woman, her husband a manager of a sprawling tea estate in north Bengal. He acts unmanly again : he asks her to abandon her husband and go away with him. He is confident that the culturally-inclined Karuna could never be happy with a status-conscious tycoon with a fondness for liquor. May be this was the reality of the helpless jobless youth that the command economy produced, but unmanly nevertheless.
MAHAPURUSH apparently is about the busting of a fraudulent guru (Birinchi Baba). But then there was Satyaranjan, a young lad in his mid-twenties (though not jobless) in love with Buchki, a rich man's daughter with come-hither eyes. Buchki doesn't think much about Satya and treats him accordingly. Alarmed by the prospect of Birinchi administering baptism to Buchki along with her father--in which case she would be compelled to remain unmarried--Satya seeks the help of his friends to liberate her from the clutches of her father and the guru. By any stretch of imagination, an unmanly course of action.

Forget getting the happy couple a new toaster.
Get them the tools they need to make a proper toast!
Plan a Stock-The-Bar Shower
Want a modern twist on the classic wedding shower? Why not try a Stock the Bar Party. It's a great way to include couples in the pre-wedding festivities and it will make entertaining fun and easy for the newlyweds. Bonus: you'll get to enjoy those future parties as their guest.
Couples can register for specific items or the party host can offer suggestions to guests based on a theme. One idea is to divide your guests into four groups with each assigned to a certain type of gift based on that classic wedding phrase...
Something Old
Older wine vintages (say the year the couple met), ingredients for a classic cocktail or aged whiskeys and bourbons.
Clark's Picks:
20 Year Old Taylor Fladgate Port
2009 Moet Chandon Vintage
Something New
Unique and trendy items, the latest pre-mixed cocktails or craft beer.
Clark's Picks:
Spigelau Beer Cannoisseur
1000 Stories Bourbon Barrel Aged Zinfandel
Something Borrowed
Beverages that "borrow" their taste from something else such as flavored vodkas or wine blends.
Clark's Picks:
Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee Sparkling Wine – 78% Pinot Noir, with its expressive berry fruit flavor, borrows added borrows 22% Chardonnay to add expressive freshness and acidity to the blend
Something Blue
Cold and icy items like vodka or frozen drink mixes or silver bar tools.
Clark's Picks:
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Scotch
Chimay Blue Belgium Dark Ale
"O" is for Open Bar
So you want to have an open bar at your reception. Here are some money saving tips:
Make selections that are not the nationally-recognized brand names. For example, some of the most popular imported vodka brands can cost two to three times as much as lesser known quality brands.
Make selections that are not "age specific." Scotch, Bourbon and Irish whiskeys that are aged for 12 – 30 years are naturally going to be expensive. Choose Scotch Blends, and Bourbons and Irish whiskeys that carry no age statement.
Purchase the 1.75 Liter size. In virtually every case, the cost per ounce will be considerably cheaper.
Offer only the basic bar set up. It is impossible to have everyone's favorite. Usually, a Bourbon, Scotch, Vodka, Gin and Rum will meet requests of the large majority of guests.
Make sure bartenders know to open only one bottle per bar at a time. Most stores will allow the return of unopened bottles for credit. You don't want to end up with a lot of opened bottles.
If you ARE brand conscious, think about using well marked decanters to pour from. They look much nicer, are easier for bartenders to handle, and add a touch of elegance.
Wedding Themed Mixology
Wedding Cake Martini
1 part wedding cake vodka – Pinnacle recommended
1/2 part white vermouth – Cinzano White recommended

In shaker, pour vodka and vermouth over ice. Shake well and set aside. Add warm water to frosting to thin and pour into a bowl or plate. In a second plate, pour coconut. Rim glass with frosting, then with coconut. Strain martini from shaker into the rimmed glass.
For larger quantities: Pour 1 part vodka and 1/2 part vermouth in pitcher over ice, stir vigorously, and serve.
• Variation: Use colorful cake sprinkles in place of coconut.
The Blushing Bachelorette Martini
1 oz. peach Schnapps
1 oz. grenadine
4 oz. Champagne
Pour the peach Schnapps and grenadine into a Champagne flute.
Top with Champagne
The Grinning Groom Martini
2 parts ROXOR Gin

It's officially, almost, February - no more excuses, the last of the Christmas decor must be put away!
That's what I thought to myself while I drove the car past our front entrance last week.
Someone must of heard me because the temperatures finally rose above freezing for the first time in weeks, so I got out there to work a bit of magic.
Before: Christmas Entrance
I removed all my red berried items and replaced them with white winter berries and purple eucalyptus. The majority of the greens, dogwood twigs and pinecones stayed.
(It helped that they were mostly frozen in place!)
After: Winter Entrance
I was really fortunate to find two huge faux branches of winter berries on clearance at my local nursery. A couple of clips later, I had enough little branches to accent all three planters and the wreath.
A little brighter - and a slight nod to Spring.
The eucalyptus came from Michael's.
Wanna see my new Winter wreath? Check back tomorrow to see how it all came together.
Hope you had a nice weekend!
Until next time,

The Comic: A teenage cop from a high-tech future is sent back to 1986. She's investigating the Quintum Mechanics megacorporation for crimes against time. As she pieces together the clues, she discovers that the "future"—an alternate reality version of 2013 and the place she calls home—shouldn't exist at all.
There's a lot of attention to detail--with parts of the story being a veritable period piece on New York City in the mid-80s. There are also glimpses into a fantastic alternate future of teen police officers, laser guns, and jet packs. Action is everywhere and the cast is diverse.
ROCKET GIRL is an ongoing, monthly, full-color comic. The first issue is due out in October 2013. And the first 5-issue arc introduces all the characters and the high-concept in a self-contained story. It's geared toward teen and adult audiences.
The Creators: Artist Amy Reeder (Batwoman, Madame Xanadu) teams with writer Brandon Montclare (Fear Itself: Fearsome Four). We collaborated previously last year on Halloween Eve, published by Image Comics. Although we loved our various projects at Marvel and DC, we want to deliver readers another great creator-owned comic. Rocket Girl is something that can only happen if we do it ourselves. We'd like your support, and that's where Kickstarter comes in...
The Kickstarter: All money raised will go toward ROCKET GIRL #1 production costs and to give backers some cool rewards. If this campaign is successful, you'll be helping us make the first issue of the ongoing series. ROCKET GIRL is a monthly series--we're already working on the first 5-issue arc; it's a lot of comics to make, and we need a big launch. Later in the summer we'll be announcing a publisher that will help us package and distribute our comic. But since this book is 100% creator-owned, there's no publisher's financing. Our Kickstarter goal is enough to bridge the gap and get a copy of the first issue in the hands of readers this fall! So if you enjoyed our past work, support creator-owned comics, and want to see ROCKET GIRL become a reality, we have some great rewards for you. And remember: you're only charged if we make our funding goal.
Now check out some pages...

Riesgos y desafíos
Having run a successful comics Kickstarter with our HALLOWEEN EVE, we're confident we'll deliver a book that knocks your socks off and is on time. Even better: the first issue is already done! We're also familiar with producing all the other awards and getting them out on schedule. ...all that being said, it's just Amy & Brandon. This being a "creator-owned" book, it needs the two of us to do just about everything. So if an emergency were to arise, it might cause a delay. But we don't anticipate that happening; moreover, we're already both working full-time on Rocket Girl--so it's looking good!Más información sobre el concepto de responsabilidad en Kickstarter

With the tourist season over, the residents of Jelsa turned to fundraising with a fun cycling event, as Google marks Croatia's Independence Day
Residents of Jelsa, one of Hvar's prettiest resorts, turned out in force on October 8, 2011, to support the Biciklijada, a cycling fund-raising event organised by the island's Rotary Club.
The Biciklijada, now in its eighth year, is a fun family occasion which raises money for good causes. This year's event was called 'Cycling for Antonia,' after a young girl suffering from cancer who it is hoped will raise enough money to pay for specialist treatment in Austria.
Cycling Events for Hvar's Children
The traditional race round the villages and towns of Jelsa, Svirce, Vrbanj and Vrboska was well attended by dozens of school children, all sporting helmets and the official 2011 grey t-shirt. Due to roadworks, the route had to be slightly changed.
As the young cyclists headed off into the hills, attention turned to the youngsters from the local kindergarten, who demonstrated admirable control negotiating the tricky slalom event as parents relaxed in the numerous cafes. Sales of the t-shirts were brisk, with the price of 50 kuna ($10) including a lottery ticket, where the first prize was an Acer laptop, and the event was an unqualified success.
Sponsors and Organisers of the Biciklijada
The event was organised by the Hvar Rotary Club in association with the Red Cross, and included several local sponsers, as well as Diners Card Club and Erste Card Club. It is part of a concerted campaign to raise money for the sick local child.
After a busy tourist season, the event had a distinctly local feel, as the community now prepares for the other side of life on Hvar: the long winter. The weather has been exceptionally good on Hvar into early October, but has just broken, and the trademark burawind was out in force, reducing the temperature sharply.
Jelsa is a popular resort on Hvar's northern coast, whose attractions include excellent family beaches, a pretty harbour and old town, and one of the most relaxed squares in Dalmatia. It is most famous for its UNESCO-protected Easter Procession, which has taken place overnight on the Thursday before Easter for more than 500 years.
Google Marks Croatia's Independence Day
This year's Biciklijada took place as Croatia marked its 20th year of independence, a celebration commemorated by Google on its home page. To mark the occasion, the search engine giant's traditional logo was slightly amended to include the Croatian crest, along with a message in Croatian wishing the Republic of Croatia a Happy Independence Day.

Raina and Morgan: In company by coincidence
A rare occurrence in cricket for sure.
Something that happened on Thursday, July 29, provides for an interesting statistic; rather it adds to it.
While Suresh Raina, after five years of waiting and 98 One Day Internationals, relished his Test debut by scoring his maiden ton a splendid 120 -- against Sri Lanka in the second Test at the SSC Ground in Colombo -- far away at Trent Bridge in Nottingham, another young cricketer, Eoin Morgan, was performing a rescue act for England against Pakistan.
The Ireland-born player, playing only his third Test, came to the crease with his team in trouble at 118 for four. A 23-year-old like Raina, Morgan rose to the occasion and steered England to safety, in the process notching up his maiden Test hundred.
And it is this occurrence, Raina and Morgan's maiden hundreds on the same day, that gives us an opportunity to look at this unusual fact.
Their maiden tons present only the fourth instance in Test history where two players, their teams not facing each other, have scored maiden Test centuries on the same day.
There have been 26 instances overall where two players have scored maiden hundreds in the same Test.
But save four, the other instances have either been batsmen playing for the same country or playing for countries playing each other in a particular Test.
And that is what makes the Raina/Morgan tons unique.
Rediff.com takes a look at the other such instances.

57 years ago...
It took 52 years for the batting miracle to be repeated.
On March 12, 2005, Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal's 109 against India at Mohali corresponded with South African Ashwell Prince's unbeaten 139 against Zimbabwe at the Centurion.

It happened thrice, in five years
On February 27, 2009, fans witnessed Australian Marcus North scoring a magnificent 117 on debut against South Africa at Johannesburg.
They will also remember Englishman Ravi Bopara make his Test debut against the West Indies at Bridgetown a memorable one by notching up his maiden hundred (104).
On July 29, 2010, Raina and Morgan provided the third such instance in the last five years.
Both Morgan and Raina are exciting talents. May they long enhance the game with their skill.

Sue/Une Femme and I first met, here in Vancouver, and more than two years since we last got together, in Seattle with our spouses. Lisa (of Amid Privilege) and I hadn't seen each other since she showed Paul and I around San Francisco (Hello, Carnitas Goodness!!) at the beginning of 2011. Between those times, of course, we've followed each other's blogs, commenting back and forth, occasionally emailing, even once or twice a phone call, but man, we were overdue for the visit Lisa and I had promised ourselves way back when.
These photos were taken Tuesday evening when our Californian visitors came for dinner and checked out the terrace garden I've been figuring out since our move last year. After that, to be honest, I put the phone down and concentrated on catching up as well as trying to show Sue and Lisa our city, see it through their eyes. Wish we could have done something about this incessant rain and grey and cool temperatures, but they claimed to welcome the weather as a pleasant antidote to Too Much Sun (oh, just to imagine. . . . ). And honestly, in their company, I didn't think much about the weather as well -- we all talked a mile a minute and laughed and hooted and might have hollered once or twice, wiped away a quiet tear or two at the powerfully moving First Nations exhibit at the Museum of Anthropology. Plotted world domination with the fabulously stylish and dazzlingly hilarious Mel of Bag and a Beret (over coffee at Thierry, where the rest of the coffee-drinkers must have been dying to join or table -- or perhaps just move theirs out of striking distance. Heh heh, as Mel would say)
Sue has posted about our days together, and she has included a few photos, so hop over there, if you haven't already visited. Pater and I have a session with our personal trainer this morning, and I'm hoping to get back on track after our three weeks away. Also hoping to get back on track with some more sustained posting, but I'm trying to be patient with myself and to remember that blogging isn't supposed to be an obligation.
her cringe-worthy account of using the Italian word "eccitato" is pretty hilarious.
What about you? What are you excited about these days? What's on your activity horizon? Or maybe you want to tell us what guests you've hosted or whose guest you might have been, and where (and yes, I still have more to tell you about our visit in Zagreb with the wonderful hospitality of Dottoressa).

Earlier today, when the New York Times first reported Donald Trump's nomination for EPA Administrator, Scott Pruitt, the headline read like this:
Now, if you know anything about former Oklahoma Attorney General Pruitt, you know calling him a "Dissenter" is letting him off the hook. This is the same Scott Pruitt who calls himself a "leading advocate against the EPA's activist agenda." And the same Scott Pruitt who coordinated a "secretive alliance" with energy industry lobbyists, as was reported in the New York Times.
Needless to say, the scientific community was not happy with the dissenter categorization.
Apparently, the Times heard their complaints. Within a few hours, the headline was changed to reflect...well...the sad reality of the situation.
We say bravo, New York Times. Next time, just get it right the first time. Call a spade a spade.

'Sharper Focus'
Via Forest Management (John Daniel):
"Recorded during an era of sessions after returning home considerably broke from tour, and setting up a temporary studio at my parents home in the western suburbs of Cleveland. A release that's mostly about closure, and seeing yourself in a healthy light, with all things considered. Includes a track dedicated to Dora Maar, the late French artist whose photography I went to see on display at a Surrealism exhibit, at CMA. One of the best museums in the world."

As far as novelty news goes, Apple tea leaf reading and rumor speculation seems fairly fruitless (no pun intended). Oh sure, just about everyone entertains the indulgence, even if it's only a debunk, but you can always count on a seemingly endless torrent of unnamed sources dishing the latest leaks leading up to Macworld (and any big Apple event). We were almost afraid to look, but we went ahead and compiled a report card for this year's predictions. Warning: it ain't pretty.
Please note, all rumors listed originate from sources at or close to Apple, feeding info to publications. This doesn't include sites or posts digging up evidential information, like the MacBook Air domain name stuff.
AppleInsider – MacBook ultraportable to have external optical drive: correct! Still, this was pretty clear, almost no ultraportables have optical drives. Being that there was no mention made of Remote Disc, we're gonna give this a half point.
AppleInsider – MacBook ultraportable to have 13-inch LED-backlit display, internal NAND flash, SSD option: right, wrong, and right again (half point!).
Bloomberg – iPhone comes to Canada: nope.
Bloomberg – Warner Bros, Fox, Disney, Paramount and Lionsgate to rent on iTunes: nailed it!
Boy Genius Report – Jay Z and Apple found record label: not yet. (But who knows, it might be announced later!)
Boy Genius Report – Ultraportable absolutely definitely launching: correct!
BusinessWeek – Major Apple TV update planned (including a possible tuner), but Jobs can't get Universal and Sony to sign on for rentals: eh, vaguely right about the ATV update, but otherwise basically wrong.
Financial Times – Fox signed to movie rentals, and will also distribute pre-ripped iTunes movies on discs: totally correct!
Gizmodo – Macworld "will be bigger than usual" with "overloaded" keynote and tons of new product revisions: nope.
Macrumors – Lots of laptop upgrades, one with multi-touch trackpad: correct (kind of). There obviously weren't multiple notebook revisions, but the trackpad was dead on.
Macrumors forums – "Leaked" keynote #1: total fabrication.
Macrumors forums – MacBook ultraportable endowed with super-wide trackpad: so very wrong.
New York Times – Apple got more than just Fox to sign on for rentals: true. Half point, though, for lack of any specifics despite "multiple sources."
Variety – 24 hour rentals: correct!
Void Inside – "Leaked" keynote #2: also a total fabrication.
Wired – Details and description of the ultraportable: (mostly) wrong. Described as: thin, tapered profile with "aluminum and glass". Close! But we all knew it'd be thin and aluminum — the multi-touch capable iMac-esque glass display gives this one away.
Total score: 7 / 16
We forgetting any?

After two weeks on the road, I'm ready to be home for a while, that is, until we head to Ft. Worth for family weekend on Friday! John and I like to play this game when we visit other areas of the country. We get out and see what the city/town has to offer, explore and exercise, try the cuisine and restaurants and then we ask each other- could you live here? Each location has it's own charms; we had some lovely hikes in the hills of south Denver on crisp, dry mornings. The sunrises in Colorado are just spectacular. Las Vegas' crazy night life and casino haunts are a freak show that cannot be described. It is impossible to be bored in this city that never sleeps. However, after our journeys, usually we conclude that Dallas is home and we wouldn't move from where we are now.
But truthfully, to quote a cliche, home IS where the heart is. So I could relocate anywhere in this wide world as long as we could be together. So I'm glad to be home. In my house. With my husband. And the dog. And a busy fall schedule. Cooking for you all.
There are new items on the menu this week! The pot pies are your favorites but the entree is a new meatloaf which I highly recommend enjoying the first night and later too… there's a bean salad that would make a great side dish for the meatloaf, a new chilled, silky soup with just a touch of decadence, a main salad that works fantastically for lunch with the bread bonus on the side and a lovely, fruit galette to satisfy your sweet craving.
As always, I'm here for you if you have questions, concerns or suggestions. Have a great week! -Ruth 214-675-1932
Check out the menu at the tab above. Order online here. Please order by 10am the day prior to your pickup and be sure to provide your cell number. Pickup schedule at 9800 Preston Road is as follows:
Tuesday 2-4pm
Wednesday 12-5pm
Thursday 11-4pm
Friday 11-2pm
*****We sadly remember the tragedy of September 11, 2001, when so many American lives were lost in an attack on our nation. Our prayers continue to be with the families of all who lost their loved ones in a senseless moment of violence.*****

World Press Freedom Day
3 May 2015 -
Free media is the key to a free society. Every year across the world, on 3 May we celebrate the fundamental principles of press freedom. The slogan of this year's World Press Freedom Day is "Let Journalism Thrive!" and one of its themes is "better reporting".
Creating an environment where quality journalism can thrive depends on various factors – such as good working conditions for journalists, professional standards of reporting, independence from political pressure and a plurality of media ownership.

Elephant Falls (That Voi) is a powerful waterfall located about 30 kilometres from Da Lat. It's a popular waterfall that is often visited by tourists and many tour groups. I overheard one guide say that there's a way to see the falls from behind, but we didn't look for it.
How to get there
You can get there by taking the green local Phu Son bus to Nam Binh Village. It costs 20,000 dong one way. Just make sure to tell them that you want to get off at Elephant Falls or That Voi (pronounced Tuck Voy). You can catch the bus at the stop inCentre Market. But ask your place of accommodation which stop is closest to you.
It takes about 40 minutes on a scenic bus ride to get to Elephant Falls. When you get dropped off, there will be a sign that says it's another 100 metres before you reach the entrance. There's an entrance fee of 10,000 dong, but near Tet (Lunar New Year), the price doubles to 20,000 dong.
Elephant Falls
It's quite fun to get down to the falls. And by fun, I mean it's a rocky, slippery and challenging journey down. There's metal railings at certain parts to help you out. Once you reach the bottom, there are big boulders you can climb to get a better view. But be very careful, since they're difficult to climb.
We went in dry season, so we didn't get splashed by the water when we climbed the boulders. But in wet season, you might want to bring a rain jacket or poncho.
Once you make it back to the top, you can wash your hands with the outdoor water tap at the restaurant closest to the stairs.

Fatima Al Himidi, the woman's 17-year-old daughter, told 10 News San Diego:
"A week ago they left a letter saying this is our country not yours you terrorist, and so my mom ignored that thinking it was just kids playing a prank. But the day they hit her, they left another note again, and it said the same thing."
This interview with her daughter is heartbreaking:
According to the AFP, the family reportedly came to the United States from Iraq in the mid-1990s.
A group on Facebook called One Million Hijabs for Shaima Alawadi has been launched in her honor.

Review of What the Butler Saw, Westport Country Playhouse
Revivals of ground-breaking work can be tricky business. Once the initial shock is gone, what does the work have to offer? Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw is a ribald, witty, absurd farce and though, for our times, it's hardly as daring as in 1969, when it debuted, it still puts its cast through its paces. Directed by John Tillinger with a feel for the play's strengths, the comedy treats marriage, psychiatry, health care professionals, hotel service people, the police force, gender roles, sexual tastes and Winston Churchill to fast-paced, irreverent fun.
The mention of Churchill should tip you off to one main characteristic of Orton's comedy. It's British, in the way that Monty Python is British, or the Carry On series is. And that means its form of verbal humor can be a stretch for American ears. It's not just the accents, it's the entire grasp of how the language of polite society works. Orton's characters are articulate to a fault. But most of what they say is potty, loony, off-its-chum. It's not just the idiom either. The humor, to work, requires an earnest and serious manner among the players. For the most part, the cast is equal to the challenge, but even so. One can only imagine how much better this would play in Britain.
Thankfully, the Westport production benefits from Paxton Whitehead, who specializes in playing the kind of fatuous ass who is not only a send-up of professionalism, psychiatric jargon, get-ahead ethics, and lack of imagination, but of a distinctly British sense of how the establishment works. Indeed, Orton's zinginess comes from the fact that he's trying to skewer established norms—particularly about sexuality—that keep the British unflappable, and Whitehead's Dr. Rance is a walking textbook of self-satisfied credulity.
His foil is Dr. Prentice (Robert Stanton), the ne'er-do-well who gets the shenanigans off and running by piling silly pretense upon ludicrous lie. He begins by attempting to seduce, in smarmy predatory professional manner (in the days before "sexual harassment" had a name), a dim, accommodating would-be Gal Friday Geraldine Barclay (Sarah Manton, wonderfully manic). Stanton's Prentice is not a villain so much as an erring human who can't admit mistakes, so he becomes a kind of Jerry Lewis of escalating miscalculations. He's married to a philandering female (Patricia Kalember, who enacts the estranged, liberated wife with brittle cool) and is trying to maintain his professional and sexual status in a world that delights in how easily anyone can lose all dignity. Not least Sergeant Match, a forthright constable (Julian Gamble) who ends up in his underwear and later a dress and wig, and Nicholas Beckett (Chris Ghaffari), a game bell-hop who has to go about in drag and, eventually, the altogether.
In a sense, the play is much ado about nothing, with a vengeance. The notion that "deviant" behavior can be analyzed and "helped" is one of Orton's targets, but that ship has sailed, more or less. The play works because it does what farce is supposed to do: undermine the layers of pretense that people cling to as a means of denying what is happening in front of them. Orton has a knack for the tableau of someone catching someone else in a compromising moment. The point of such take-offs and put-ons is that we're all of us compromised by our appetites, desires, and petty indulgences. Along the way there is sport with the kind of well-made play that has to tie up all loose ends, with a fond nod to Oscar Wilde's Earnest.
The detailed set (James Noone) and suitable costumes (Laurie Churba) help create the kind of rational world that will become topsy-turvy as the play goes on, including the various fates of a demure flowered dress and a racier leopard print. There are four doorways and they will all be used with expert timing, as well as a host of apropos props. The challenge here is in keeping up with the verbal and the physical comedy and, while it never achieves complete hysterics, Tillinger's production at Westport does keep it all bouncing merrily.

It's pretty easy to get stuck. Stuck in fear, doubt, countless other swirls of emotion and gremlins that live inside your mind.
I've had some 'tools' in my life lately that have been helping me. One of them is a hummingbird feather amulet that I purchased from a wonderful friend (working on getting a link). The basic premise of wearing this piece is to let the past stay in the past and have the ability to move forward. I wear it almost every single day to remind me which direction I'm going.
Yesterday I attended my course for Entrepreneurs and the facilitator said something that made a lightbulb go off. I was hesitating creating a newsletter for my business. Next thing I know, I am repeatedly outlining my note: "consider the mail list like ongoing support!" Ah!!! My reason to go ahead, with purpose!
Then today I had a wonderful link show up. It was an interview, Marie Forleo interviewing Seth Godin. More lightbulb moments! More "permissions" for me to start, continue and never quite finish (because that would mean stopping!) Watch the interview here 🙂
What helps you move forward in your life?

Proteins are made of amino acids which are often referred to as the building blocks of the body. There are approximately 20 different amino acids. Dogs can make thirteen of these amino acids from other nutrients in their diet. Cats can only make twelve. The rest of the amino acids are essential amino acids... that is, they must be present in the diet as they cannot be manufactured by the body from other nutrients. Highly digestible meat and some types of vegetable can provide these essential amino acids. Hence protein in the diet from plants or animal sources are very important. The type of protein and its digestibility will have an important impact on our pet's health.
What do proteins do?
Once a protein is taken into the body from the diet (ingested) it is broken down into its constituent amino acids via the digestive process. These amino aids are absorbed from the digestive tract and used by the body to make its own proteins. Hence amino acids are known as the building blocks of the body. Amino acids are necessary for healthy growth and repair and maintenance of tissues. They are used to make enzymes, antibodies and hormones. Proteins are essential for many functions of the body but their effect is most readily seen externally in a healthy muscular body and a healthy, glossy coat.
Meat is an ideal source of protein for our dogs and cats. Animal proteins are the most complete and cats particularly should obtain most of their protein from this type of food. (Cats are obligate carnivores). It is important to balance the protein sources (meat, plants and if necessary pure amino acids) to ensure that a complete and balanced diet is achieved.
Protein is essential in the diet, but it should not be fed in excess. High protein diets do not necessarily lead to better health and some studies have indicated that excessive protein fed long term may provide a heavy burden to the kidneys. If healthy animals consume too much protein some of it will be converted into fat while another part may be used as calories. A proportion of the excess protein may be excreted in the urine and this is why the kidneys may be stressed.
Taurine is an amino acid which is only found in meat sources. Cats cannot make their own taurine from other nutrients in their diet. So for cats taurine is an essential amino acid. Cats need taurine in their diet and it helps healthy heart function as well as keeping eyes, ears and the immune function healthy. Cats therefore must eat meat, they cannot live a healthy life on a vegetarian diet. Cats are what we call obligate carnivores, they have to eat meat to stay healthy.
Ideally, food for our pet dogs and cats should have a good quality meat component. Some non-essential amino acids are available from plant sources but meat should provide the foundation of a good diet for cats and dogs.

I have always been interested in holistic medicine and when I started my own practice I finally had the opportunity to spend time looking at the health of our pets in a different way. This holistic approach led me to look at the diets our pets are fed and the relationship of nutrition to their health.

Another day, another Ghostbusters 3 update that will most likely get your hopes up the film will happen. Well, Dan Aykroyd gave an update on the film to Empire Online that could upset many Ghostbusters fan. In the interview, Aykroyd apparently suggested the idea of replacing Bill Murray with another actor to portray Peter Venkmen. "We communicate frequently and his position on the involvement in Ghostbusters 3 has been made clear and I respect that. The script must be perfect. We cannot release a film that is any less than that. We have more work to do," he said.
Okay, so Aykroyd doesn't flat out say they want to replace him should he decline, but let's consider the possibilites. My initial thought is that it wouldn't work, and I think most would agree. The Ghostbusters films were about wisecracks, and you would be replacing the funniest one of the four. And it would seem pointless to do another film with the idea of bringing everyone back if you can't get most people's favorite member of the team. Sure, Rick Moranis' character somewhat joined the team at the end of Ghostbusters 2, but there's no gurantee Moranis would come out of retirement. Although, Aykroyd is attempting to convince him.
When it's all said and done, it would definitely seem like a horrible idea to recast Murray. But perhaps Aykroyd's words were misunderstood.
