21st Century Interviews
The past few months I have interviewed numerous smart, energetic, and qualified young women to fill Girlstart's summer camp counselor positions. Little did I know when I started this process that the majority of my interviews would happen online! Girls from across the country have logged in from their dorm rooms using free technology like Skype or iChat. Friends and families are using these easy to use online technologies to feel more connected than a traditional phone call. My first interview was interesting and definitely a learning experience, however once you get over the fact you can see yourself talk the conversation flows really well. This summer Girlstart is able to have the best talent from across the United States with the help from cool technology!

Jane Bell suddenly finds herself reluctant landlady of The Bell, a historic coaching inn in the quaint village of Ivy Hill. Jane is unsure why she was left the inn since she has no experience managing it and learns it has a substantial debt attached to it, a debt she is uncertain she will ever be able to repay. She hesitantly turns to her resentful mother-in-law, Thora, for assistance, hoping Thora's experience managing the inn can save them. Thora has her own reasons for returning to Ivy Hill, but she did not expect to interact with two men from her past, nor did she expect the feelings they stir in her. As Jane and Thora are forced to work together to save the inn, they both learn new things about themselves and about their relationships with others.
I have always loved Julie Klassen's novels due to the wonderful character depth, poignant scenes, and fascinating storylines. This is the author's first installment in her first series and, due to this, I thought the storyline and character depth developed at a slower pace than her previous novels. It took me just a little longer to connect with the characters, but like all of her books, once I understood them better, I did indeed enjoy reading about them. This particular novel set up the stage well for subsequent books. The point of view in this book is interesting as it alternates only between two females, and I must say I missed the male perspective. I am greatly anticipating the next book and cannot wait to see how the characters continue to develop. Like all of Julie Klassen's books, I recommend this novel!
I received a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.

Green Monster
Green food supplements are something I often recommend to my patients and something that I take regularly myself. Is it possible to eat enough green foods to not need a green food supplement per se? Of course, but it can be hard to get enough vegetables throughout an average day. Ideally, 50% (or more!) of your daily food intake should be vegetables and at least half of these should be dark green such as kale, broccoli, alfalfa. If you look at your plate for lunch and dinner especially, can you say that 50% is plant based and that half again of that is dark green in color?
Green food supplements are also highly alkalinizing to the body and there is increasing evidence that an alkaline pH is highly beneficial to your overall health and longevity. In particular an alkaline body pH has been proven to:
In short, an alkaline diet can be facilitated by regular green food supplementation and can improve health, wellbeing and longevity by decreasing inflammation, mitigating the effects of stress and actually reducing common chronic diseases. Furthermore, in Chinese Medicine green foods are blood and Qi building. This means they are especially important during high stress times and, for women, during your menstrual cycle when your Qi and Blood are naturally depleted by life.
Best Green Food Supplements
Okay, green foods, green food supplements and powders are good, but there are so many, how do you choose? Here are my two favorites that I carry and recommend in my office:
Biotics Nitrogreens - available in office
Biotics Nitrogreens is a highly alkalinizing formula of the darkest of dark high potency green grasses plus acerola berry to provide a high vitamin C content. Formulated from organic barley grass, wheat grass, oat grass, alfalfa grass and kamut, it has a high chlorophyll content. In addition, it contains concentrates of organic broccoli sprouts, cauliflower and kale for a high dose of cruciferous vegetables which improve phase 2 detoxification and have anti-cancer and hormonal regulating functions. Lastly it contains carrot and beet which provide naturally occurring antioxidants for anti-aging and digestive health. It is the darkest green green drink you will likely ever see, and I personally feel like I get a noticeable energy boost with every cup.
Innate Renewal Greens - available in office and online via my virtual dispensary
Innate Renewal Greens is my other favorite green food supplement because it contains so much more than just green food. If you're looking for an all-in-one health boosting food based formula, this is it. Innate Renewal Greens contains green grasses and cruciferous vegetables like the Nitrogreens, but also contains additional digestive enzymes, mushroom blend including Reishi, Cordyceps and Shitake (longevity herbs in Chinese Medicine), green tea extract and turmeric for decreasing inflammation, milk thistle, chlorophyll, grape seed extract and probiotics. Add a simple multivitamin and a fish oil or essential fatty acid supplement, and you have a complete program for long term health and longevity with a minimal quantity of pills and powders.
I personally alternate between these two depending on what is going on in my life. When I have phases that require burning the candle at both ends between kids/work/family obligations I take the Renewal Greens - if I forget some of my other supplements (as I'm prone to during high stress times) I have a little more coverage with the Innate Renewal Greens. During lower stress times when I am better with my full compliment of multi vitamin, personalized herbal remedies, probiotics, fish oil, heart health supplements etc, I take the Nitrogreens. They are more highly concentrated and feel like they have a slightly stronger alkalinizing effect for me.
Question? Want some Green Food Love? Ask Rebecca!
If you're curious about knowing more, you can comment here and I'll respond as quick as I can! Both of the formulas I mentioned are available in office, or can be ordered and shipped direct to you if you desire - just email me! Green foods are a great addition to any supplement regime that can only enhance your health and wellbeing. I often have a container open in the office for sampling too - just ask next time your in!
Remember that for supplement, acupuncture, general health or facial rejuvenation questions you can always book a free consult or a full acupuncture session online. Thanks for tuning in!
Until next time,

Jim Bound - Rest In Peace
Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
I first met Jim Bound when I worked for Digital Equipment Corporation in their Unix operating system group. Jim was "in the field" as a pre-and-post sales technical support person. When a salesman needed some good technical help in selling a customer a technical solution, or when a customer needed someone who really knew what they were doing, they would call on these technical people to help them.
Over the years, our Unix group formulated a program called the "Unix Partners Program", and we invited some of these technical field people to consult with us once a quarter as a group, so that we could better understand the customer's needs. At first the group was small, with some of the more vocal and knowledgeable people actively sought out. Jim was one of the first, and continued to be a leader throughout my time at Digital.
Jim had a specialty in networking, this "new" thing called TCP/IP, and as this new networking grew in dominance, Jim would pound his fist on the table and tell us how important it was. You never had to guess where you stood with Jim, as he would tell you. Of course I liked him immensely, and there were many times we could get together with the other Unix technical people and have a beer together.
Jim was tattooed. Jim rode motorcycles. Of course today no one would think anything of this, but nearly a quarter century ago, in a rather conservative east-coast United States company, this was a bit unusual particularly for someone in a very visible customer-facing position. But Jim also knew his stuff, and that overcame any objections.
Later on, Jim started talking about this extension of IPv4, at first called "IPng" for "IP next generation" that eventually became "IPv6". He talked about the huge address space, the better security, the better features. Eventually to many people he became "Mr. IPv6", a tireless advocate for the newer protocol, a solid believer in standards. He came in from the field and joined central engineering at Digital which then became Compaq and finally Hewlett Packard.
After I left Digital (then Compaq) in 1999 I lost track of Jim. I would hear about him every once in a while, tracking him as he became the CTO of the IPv6 Forum, Chair of the North American IPv6 Task Force and a Senior Fellow with Hewlett Packard, the highest level on the HP technical career path. In my mind I could hear him leading the charge for IPv6, and probably fairly frustrated that IPv4 had not been completely retired by now.
Today I learned that Jim had died on March 2nd, 2009. He was only 58.
A short time ago I wrote in this column that I was still IPv4 bound, and that I wanted to become IPv4 clean by the end of 2009. Now I have two reasons, one because I think that it is the right path forward for the things I need to do, and the other reason is that I want to be able to tell Jim "I made it to IPv6" the next time we meet....
P.S. As a postscript, I received a note from a friend of Jim's that said:
For those wishing to send their expressions of sympathy we have setup at the IPv6 Forum http://www.ipv6forum.com/ a way for everyone to pay their respect. We will then collect all the postings and share it with Jim's extended family.
Family FriendI have meet with Jim a few times at my wifes family functions. I can tell you all he is very missed and this is a huge loss to his family. As a tech person , I am I know his wish would be to drive IPv6 as it was the future to him .
Jim P BoundI was seventeen when I met Jim @ a J Geils concert in Wellington Ohio, the aquqnqt plateau where the band was performing was on top of this plateau well it rained like hell & everyone was soaked, well @ least I thought. After the concert was over is when I met Jim, I over heard someone saying that they were going to Lakewood Ohio which is where I was living & went over to talk to him, Jim Immediately looked @ me and laughed , proceeded to give me a pair of dry socks & a poncho to stay dry the rain was intense and I was a mess, well that was a long time ago and I have many stories I'am almost 52 now & I will miss Jim very much grateful that him & I stayed in touch because of the way that man touched my & became a part of it. Jim once sent me a round trip ticket to come and visit him a time I will always remember. I Love & miss you Jim your friend always Jack LoPiccolo
Jim BoundJim Bound has been a loyal personal and professional friend since we first met at EDS in 1985. As UNIX engineers, we tackled the challenges of evangelizing UNIX and network standards within a company then clueless about either.
While at DEC, and subsequently Compaq and HP, Jim progressively made internationally recognized contributions to open, and next generation networking standards. Jim's passion for his body of work will benefit us for generations to come. International friends and colleagues are preparing fitting tributes at the IPV6forum, Internet Society, and other sites as well.
This is a private man intensely loyal to his friends, who on occasion as guests in his home can testify, prepared five-star meals with intellectually stimulating conversation.
I will miss Jim as we were each others white board for issues, ideas, and humor over the years. Maddog, we go back aways too, and your recognition for Jim is appreciated.
Wellsaid, Maddog.
In the middle of the masses of all these "generic" IT People we have these days, it is important to mention those who not only have the guts but the skills to stand out. There are few enough...
To me, Jim Bound sounds like a Person I would've loved to meet and know, both on a personal and on a professional basis.

If half the Grand Canyon crumbled to nothing in less than three decades, would we stand up and pay attention? If Teddy and Abe's heads eroded off Mount Rushmore would we step in to save George and Tom?
Sadly, that's what is happening to one of the world's great natural treasures.
A new study released yesterday by the Australian Institute of Marine Science shows that in just the last 27 years, the Great Barrier Reef has lost half of its coral.
Coral reef degradation is unfortunately not a new phenomenon. A 2011 report from the World Resources Institute found that three-quarters of the world's coral reefs are threatened by increased stress from pollution and climate change. Corals are very sensitive to temperature, but because they are stationary, they cannot migrate to find their prime habitat. So as ocean temperatures warm, the coral organisms die, leaving just the white skeletal structures, a phenomenon known as bleaching.
Yet according to this new study, the degradation is less directly linked to these usual suspects. Just 10 percent of the loss was attributable to bleaching. The study found coastal storms were the leading culprit that caused 48 percent of the damage, and the remaining 42 percent was a result of an exploding population of the crown of thorns starfish that preys on coral.
Don't mistake these causes for reason to think climate change isn't responsible. After all, an increase in intensity of coastal storms is undoubtedly a symptom of planetary warming.
Controlling the starfish problem, it turns out, would allow the reef's degradation — pegged at losses of between four and eight percent of coral cover per year — to reverse. Even at current levels of temperature and acidity, we could see slow coral growth. The starfish problem may be slightly easier to manage than reversing global emissions of greenhouse gasses, but it will require action sure to be unpopular with agricultural interests. As CNN reports:
According to the study, the starfish in its larval stage feeds on plankton, populations of which surge when fertilizer runoff floods the coastal ocean waters with nutrients. So plentiful plankton can lead to swarms of hungry starfish.
The last time the starfish bloomed in 2003, the government spent more than $3 million to try to control the population. No easy feat. But the motivation to succeed may be as great as the Great Barrier Reef itself. In addition to the inherent value of protecting a tremendous natural resource, and the environmental benefits it provides from fish habitat to protection against storm surges, the reef is also a major economic engine in northeast Australia. According to Nick Heath, a spokesman for the World Wildlife Fund Australia, "Sixty thousand jobs in the tourism industry depend on us acting with urgency over the next few years."
Oddly, the Australian government is also planning coal and natural gas export facilities that would bring a constant stream of ships across the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
With all these environmental threats and new industrial activity, apparently we'll have to be content with renaming one of our most spectacular natural wonders the Incredibly Shrinking Barrier Reef.

Army infantry officials say the squad machine gun developed under the Lightweight Small Arms Technologies program has matured enough to become a serious contender to replace the venerable M249 squad automatic weapon. It's nearly half the weight of the M249, and its "cased-telescoped" ammunition is significantly lighter than standard linked ammo, according to Col. Daniel Barnett, director the Soldier Requirements Division at Fort Benning, Ga.
"It's actually progressed pretty well; I have fired it a couple of times," Barnett said. The current version of LSAT, developed by AAI Corporation with government funding, weighs 9.4 pounds compared to the M249 squad automatic weapon, which weighs in at roughly 17 pounds.
LSAT's cased-telescoped 5.56mm ammunition that relies on a plastic case rather than a brass one to hold the propellant and the projectile, like a conventional shotgun shell. It weighs 37 percent less than standard belted 5.56mm.
Small Arms experts don't argue that LSAT is extremely impressive, but they doubt big Army anywhere near ready to dump brass-cased ammo. Huge stockpiles of ammunition and shrinking defense budgets will likely convince the top brass to shelve the program until the next war.
Benning officials recently told Military.com that it's time for the Army to decide if it wants to send LSAT down range for an operational assessment. Aside from the current LMG version, the materials and some of the technology LSAT uses could spin off into other small arms programs, Barnett said: "It has a lot of potential."
The Army has come a long way in its effort to lighten the soldier's combat load, but it seems like that effort is at a stand still until it finds a way to make bullets, mortar rounds and other munitions significantly lighter.
So what do you think? Is it time to really think about dumping brass-cased ammo or is LSAT just another "leap-ahead technology" that's destined to fail?

Bedtime Reading :: Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne
Sometimes it's hard to capture a serious picture when you are reading aloud to Spiderman.
Ethan and I finished our first chapter-book-at-bedtime read-aloud this week. A few weeks ago he asked if I would read Winnie-the-Pooh to him and, when looking around our bookshelves, it seemed that we no longer had any WtP picture books to speak of. Remembering that the chapter book has little illustrations scattered throughout, I picked that up and over the course of 2-3 weeks, on nights that he and I had the stamina to stay awake, we read about a half a chapter. Bedtime with this boy has always been my most consistent (and sacred!) time to read to him - we usually have a good 15 minutes of picture books that we roll through most nights - and this was our first attempt at something that continued. While we definitely aren't abandoning picture books, I think this is the start of something new for his bedtime routine. He is ready for a shorter chapter book and, of course, what mama turns down snuggling with her boy at bedtime to read. Not me. : )
He's already picked out that next one that we're going to read together: Dick King Smith's A Mouse Called Wolf. I'm pretty sure he's picked it solely based on the cover picture, but that's okay. I've been known to do that myself sometimes. : )
"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"- Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne
"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
"It's the same thing," he said.

The Mount Home for Retired Theatricals is an unusual place - more like a country house hotel than a home for the elderly. As Juliet Sullivan says "Waited on hand and foot - no meals to prepare - beds made. Heaven!" And the manageress positively encourages residents to carry on working as long as they can.
So when Walter Neville (small part veteran of 212 films) arrives, he is overjoyed to find some of his best friends in residence. All is well until the serial womaniser husband of three of the residents (Mrs Sullivan 1, 2 and 3) goes missing - apparently on the run from Russian gangsters. The ladies decide that "He who pays the bills" must be rescued - but how to go about it?
What follows is a truly daft journey into the world of eccentric luvvies that provides some of the best comic roles for senior actors you are ever likely to come across! A farce in 2 acts.** Performance is at the Hadden Theatre, Brown St Hamilton. Tickets available at Hamilton PAC, online, or at the door. **

This annual, international software conference was held in Paris, France, from November 6 through 11, and was attended by roughly 300 people. This year's topics were:
- GPUs in Astronomy and Beyond
- Cloud Computing and Virtualization
- Statistical Data Analysis and Knowledge Discovery
- Planning, Scheduling, and Operating Observatories
- Solar Astronomy
- Virtual Observatory
- Long Term Preservation of Analysis Capabilities in Astronomy Software
There were tutorials on Statistical Computing for Astronomy with R and An Introduction to GPU Computing for Astronomy.
Many of the slides for the presentations are linked from the conference schedule page. The overarching theme this year was on the need for high-performance computing in the age of the data tsunami. My own presentation was on this topic; see this earlier post.
Some of my favorite talks are described in what follows. Chris Fluke and his colleagues gave an excellent series of talks on the power of GPU's for number crunching applications, and emphasized the need for rigorous evaluation of applications to determine the possible benefits of running them on GPU's. Wes Armour and Ben Barsdell talked about how GPU's have been used in the discovery of millisecond radio transients. Damien Gratadour explained how GPU's may be applied to adaptive optics modeling for the next generation of optical telescopes. Will O'Mullane described the use of cloud technologies at ESA.

We started the evening with Shira telling me that she wants to play a great game with me that she has called It's Alive; she went goggly-eyed when I told her I had created it. We played the basic game after dinner with a new rule change:
The following new rule is an official variant for the game of It's Alive, and will be the standard rule in any new editions. On your turn, you can - instead of buying, selling, or auctioning the top card of the deck - buy a card from someone else's graveyard directly to your board. It costs the buy value + the sell value of the card. You can pay this cost using any combination of cards and/or coins. I.e.:
|Card value
|Cost from grave
This replaces the entire double step procedure of first paying to bring the card to the center of the table and then buying, selling, or auctioning the card.
In the basic games, this means that cheap cards are nearly always bought from graveyards, and expensive ones more frequently. In the advanced game I suspect that duplicate cards will be auctioned more frequently and expensive cards fetched from graveyards more frequently.
We played the basic game and Shira won.
After this, David and I drafted Magic cards before bed. The next day we played with our decks. I had to play three colors and I was feeling pretty vulnerable with my deck because it had nothing against fliers except for a Serrated Arrows. I lost the first game quickly because I didn't draw more than two lands. But I won the next two games with one of those level up white guys who gives all of your other creatures +1/+1 . David didn't get many fliers out, and the one that he got out I killed with the arrows. So I basically won because I had the big white guy; when I drafted it, it was choice between him and an equipment that you could use to tap an equipped creature for any color mana.
We drafted again and played again, and this time I lost two games, both with large buildups, and once again I had nothing to take out his fliers.
On shabbat morning before lunch, Shira taught me Thirteen, a game that we played with a whole mess of cards from various decks, though I suspect that it should be played with two standard decks of playing cards. Shuffle both decks, including the jokers. Each player gets thirteen random cards face down in ordered slots, numbered one to thirteen. The first player picks a card and places this card face up in the slot corresponding to the card value (A is one, K is thirteen), then reveals the card that was face down in that slot. He goes again using the newly revealed card. This continues until he reveals a card that corresponds to a slot that is already revealed. He then discards the unusable (for him) card. In case you didn't notice this part of the game is exactly like the solitaire game Clock.
The second player takes the discard if he needs it and proceeds the same way. Otherwise, he draws from the top of the deck and proceeds the same way. Play continues this way until one person has finished his board. He sets aside the last revealed card to use in place of a draw on any later turn that he desires. He shuffles all of his cards in with the deck and the discard pile, deals out twelve cards (one less than the previous round) and continues. If he draws or reveals a King, he can't play it obviously.
This continues until a player has only one card left and then completes his board, whereupon he wins. Jokers can used for any card, and if you draw a card that goes into a slot with a face up joker, you can replace it and reuse the joker somewhere else.
There are two choices in the game. 1) when to use a card you set aside from a previous round. 2) where to place a Joker, the significance of which depends - very slightly - on what cards your opponent has already revealed. These choices are not significant.
Shira won, with some jokers to spare.
Later in the day we all played Cities and Knights of Catan. Shira needed some help understanding the cards and occasionally deciding where to place roads and settlements. She won this, too.

Hiya! I'm Bake Up, Little Suzy, and I make comfort food with a twist in the galley kitchen of a one-bedroom apartment I share with my cat, Professor Atticus "Tigger" Meowington. My recipes include unique one-pot wonders, penny-pinching recessipes, party food for fancy guesties, and a few freakish hybrids. Frequent guests to the table include Handsome Greg and My Mom Rules.
I began cooking Hamburger Helper as a struggling actress in my twenties, and I've since learned fancier techniques and recipes from my mom and the Food Network. I've considered going to culinary school, but I don't actually want a career in food service. Unless or until the opportunity arises to make boat-loads of money making dinner for friends and family, I'm happy to continue on as an amateur home cook. I work in marketing by day, run a small theater company by night, and spend the rest of my waking hours developing recipes and menus.

shells, buildings, people, fish, mountains, trees.
- Hokusai
She squatted on the ground
with a magnifying glass.
For a small donation,
she plucked a genuine talisman.
Her face blurred.
Body -- misty outline,
hidden from her betrayed lover.
Road, sky, and river simplified
under a full moon. Inside her home,
the ceiling cracked. Aftershocks
from seismic waves.
Spirit house swayed.
Invisible as a fresco.
Her front on one wall.
Back on another.
Basil, lemongrass, and lotus seed
spread upon the raised floor. She tasted
their scent safe from harm.
Every day the self-healing robot prayed
over the charms
between Maharat Road
and the river. A lotus
of amulet petals rested --
faceless Buddha sat
cross-legged upon
a layered plinth,
a small fish bone embedded
in the back of each one.

Winchester - Helen's Haunted House of A Movie Does Not Rock
Dir: The Spierig Brothers
Starring Helen Mirren, Jason Clarke, Sarah Snook
Ever since the Spierig Brothers made such an impression with 2014's Predestination, they've been slowly going downhill. With Winchester they change gears to rapidly going downhill.
It's an interesting (sort of) true life tale – Sarah Winchester (Mirren), heiress to the gun-making family fortune, spent years building an elaborate 500-plus room mansion in San Jose at the turn of the last century, constantly rebuilding over a thirty year period, allegedly at the behest of the ghosts of all those that had died by the Winchester firearm.
But some ghosts are just never satisfied as Dr Jason Clarke discovers when he is sent to check out the sanity of Ms Winchester and discovers that yes, things really do bump in the night. Or in the case of this generic contemporary horror movie – things go BANG! A lot. Oh, and faces jump out at you – a lot!
If jumping is your preferred choice of exercise – this light workout may be the movie for you. If you like something even vaguely provocative and more powerful from your horror movies, or even something that shows one iota of the beguiling invention of Predestination, then it probably isn't.

I'm so sick of these hypocrites. Michael Moore says he hates capitalism. He's apparently for income equality. He opposes the two-facedness of American politics and religion. But Michael Moore has gotten rich off of his anti-capitalistic message. Like many leftists, he preaches one thing but can't live it personally:
According to the Detroit News, anti-capitalism "everyman" filmmaker Michael Moore owns 9 homes. On top of a $2 million, 10,000 square foot lakefront mansion in Torch Lake, Michigan, there is a Manhattan condo that was once 3 condos, and 7 other properties. Moore's secret role as a land baron was revealed in divorce papers.
This is just another in a long line of self-proclaimed social crusaders whose public pretensions of approachability are completely undermined by the private realities of their elitism and decadence.
Like when Harvard-educated Obama talks thug or when Hillary Clinton pretends she was poor. Right. Somehow, people buy this act. But it's easy to determine who is for real and who is not. Take Stephen King, for instance. He wants taxes raised for the wealthy, which he knows would include himself. And he's not alone:
Thankfully, King is not quite as lonely as he thinks he is. Other commendably self-flagellating fat-cats include Warren Buffett, who famously criticised America's tax system for allowing him to pay less than his cleaner. Then there are billionaire financiers Michael Steinhardt and Morris Pearl, who were among the hundreds of "Patriotic Millionaires" to sign a recent letter calling for higher taxes "for the good of the country." A similar thing happened in France: 16 of the country's richest citizens (including L'Oréal heiress Liliane Bettencourt) offered to pay more to the French treasury. And while Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer fought against it, his boss Bill Gates once supported a call for a higher top-rate of income tax in Washington state. Even Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is, in his words, "cool with" higher taxes.
Right. But there is just one sticky detail here. If you want to pay higher taxes, you can! And for all their whining and belly-aching and preaching, not a single one of these bleeding heart quadjillionaires opts to pay more than he is forced to. And you know what that screams to me? Fake. Leftists are all about helping the poor and providing healthcare and all the rest, as long as they are talking about your money. Michael Moore doesn't hate capitalism. He just hates your capitalism.
Because Michael Moore is different. Michael Moore is in a class of his own. He's part of the elite. He's a member of the untouchable aristocracy of philosopher kings that tell the rest of us the Phoenician tales we need to believe in order to be good citizens of his socialist utopia. Nope. Not buying it.

The most exciting part of the All-Star Weekend, the Skills Competition, was held tonight and I must say-- there was some good, some bad, some ugly; but it happened. Here's what we learned.
-Need for Speed: I honestly believe that Mike Gartner could have come out and won this event at 40+ years of age. Not to knock on the skaters in the event, but no one coming close to a sub-13 second time makes me wonder what the hell is going on.
-Breakaway Challenged: There was a lot of tricks put out, but it was very bland as a whole for this event. A lot of nice stickhandling moves by the participants, but it was the same thing over and over again. Luckily, Alex Ovechkin's flair helped save the whole deal with his tourist motif he put on with an assist to Evgeni Malkin.
-YoungStars Killer: I can understand allow a time for people to text in their vote for the Breakaway gimmick, but this game was like a pregnancy-- it was a flow killer. Leave this game to open the events and then go into the Skills Comp. Put the breakaway deal at the start and let the fans test their votes through the last event or something like that. Put a time limit on it. Do something, but don't ruin the flow of the Skills Comp.
-The Price is Wrong: It's only an exhibition, but Carey Price looked very shaky. I know he's been on the shelf, but you have to wonder what's this kid's confidence level is right now. We'll see what he can bring to the All-Star Game, but it may be time for Price to re-focus himself.
-Accuracy in Marketing: It wasn't so much how well Malkin did going 4-for-4 and 3-for-4 in OT, but how the NHL is selling sponsorship on anything. Gotta love the McDonald's accuracy plates.
-Skullet Unseat: Thanks to composite sticks and insane genetics, Zdeno Chara set a new Hardest Shot record with 105.4 MPH (169.62 KPH). It was nice to see that Chara was able to fashion a toque out of a bookmark, but if that's his crazy Slovakian style, more power to him.
-Elimination of Insomnia: Great idea, somewhat good execution, but boring as hell. At least this was something everyone was in on and gave them a chance to shine, which is what Shane Doan did in winning the whole thing. Maybe think of something different for next time and maybe get all six goalies in on it rather than just four.
All in all, it was a very dull skills competition in comparison to other years, at least what I can remember. I don't know why they don't give the goalies more events, but I guess the risk of injury is a little much for them, but still. They'll get lit up during tomorrow's game-- that's for sure, but that's the way this glorified shinny game is supposed to be like anyway. Pick the over in this game folks.

Off-the-Shoulder Top: Target // Shorts: Love, Fire // Sunnies: Steve Madden // Watch: Olivia Pratt
I love gardens! But I have absolutely no desire to buy seeds, dig in the dirt and then kill every plant I touch. Luckily, I can use my grandpa's garden because he has quite the green thumb!
Growing up, my grandpa grew really spectacular gardens. He had all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and wild flowers that we could pick whenever we wanted. His speciality? Sunflowers that grew over 10 feet tall. These massive sunflowers have always represented the end of summer, and the beginning of the leaves changing. It's the start of my favorite time of year, and the beginning of a new season.
Now that I'm back in the Midwest, I see my grandparents more often. It has been a wonderful experience getting to know them as an adult, and they have taught me a lot. There are so many stories and experiences that we get to share, and it's often over fresh flowers and warm coffee. Growing up, I always picked in their garden, but my respect and love for this ritual has grown exponentially.
I still get to pick in their garden, however, this time it's for my own home. It's a way of honoring the tradition, and solidifying a memory. It's a bonding moment not many grandchildren get to experience with their loving grandparents!
The season is about to change, and soon the sunflowers will be traded in for pumpkins. For now, though, we cherish the sweet sunflowers and patiently wait for scarecrows and the picking of fall vegetables. I'm excited for a new season of memory making, but for now, I'm happy watching the sunflowers from my grandpa's garden.

Senior Pentagon official calls for information strategy on Russia
A senior Pentagon official called for an extensive government strategy to counter Russia's alleged information warfare against the United States and its allies.
When asked by Republican senator John McCain on whether Russia's information policy can be viewed as a type of "warfare," Army Gen. Curtis M. Scaparrotti, commander of US European Command and NATO's supreme allied commander for Europe, replied "I'm sure it is."
"It's their asymmetric approach," he added.
"What we really need is a whole-of government approach, a whole-of government information campaign of which I'm a small part of," he said before the Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday, adding that Washington requires a "government strategy" on the issue.
"I've seen the influence of Russia of late - increased influence in terms of association and perhaps even supply to the Taliban," he added, without elaborating on the type of support and how direct Russia's alleged role was.
He also accused Russia of failing to duly notify the Western partners of some of its military drills which "breached" the existing bilateral and international agreements.

Summer Swimming Safety
Apr 25, 2016 11:25AM
By Hood Magazine
Americans swim hundreds of millions of times in pools, oceans, lakes, rivers and hot tubs/spas each year and most people have a safe and healthy time enjoying the water. However, it is important to be aware of ways to prevent recreational water illnesses (RWIs), sunburn and drowning that can occur. CDC's Healthy Swimming Program and website, provides information for the public, so everyone can maximize the health benefits of swimming while minimizing the risk of illness and injury.
What is the best way to keep my child safe around swimming pools?
An adult should actively watch children at all times while they are in a pool. For infants and toddlers, an adult should be in the water and within arm's reach, providing "touch supervision." For older children, an adult should be paying constant attention and free from distractions, like talking on the phone, socializing, listening to music through ear buds or sleeping, and the supervising adult must know how to swim. Even at pools with lifeguards, adult supervision is always a great idea. Some tips to keep in mind to make water safety your priority this summer are:
- Never leave a young child unattended near water and do not trust a child's life to another child; teach children to always ask permission to go near water.
- Always obey pool rules.
- Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards.
- Swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone. No matter if you are at a public pool or on a lifeguarded beach, use the buddy system.
- Swim at a depth that is safe for you. If you're just learning to swim, stay in the shallow end.
- Walk slowly in the pool area. Don't run – you may slip and fall.
- Never pretend to be drowning. The lifeguard may take you seriously.
- Don't push or jump on others. You could accidentally hurt someone or yourself.
During the heat of summer, it is always a good idea to make sure your children are well hydrated. Sending water with your children will help ensure hydration. Sometimes, water related illnesses can occur due to poor hydration which can result in an accident in the pool. If this occurs, it is best to alert a lifeguard or pool manager. It is also recommended that swimmers take frequent breaks. Applying additional sunscreen, using the restroom and hydrating are all precautions that swimmers can take to make their stay at the swimming pool this summer more enjoyable.

Come Undone (Film Movement) — Anna and Alessio 's relationship in Come Undone is adorably calm and content. She is a top employee at an insurance company and he's a softhearted handy man who would do anything for her. After seeing Anna's sister give birth, they agree to try and have a baby themselves. Soon after, Anna meets Domenico, a waiter as well as a father and husband. Their strong sexual connection results in an affair that is passionate but seemingly impulsive. The result is raw and jolting for the audience as well as the adulterers. Director Silvio Soldini does an incredible job of showing the real effects of an affair on the unsuspecting families. There is nothing glamorous about this film or anything that happens in it and the rawness is incredibly powerful. Rather than glorify their affair, Soldini shows us the often-unseen parts: the hard work of balancing two schedules, keeping up with lies, the anger developing between the lovers. Come Undone is difficult to watch as we see the characters continue down dark paths, but that realness is what makes Silvio's film great. Buy it on DVD. (Lauren Kinsler)

A Seattle cartoonist's satirical suggestion that Thursday be dubbed "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" has led to anything but humor in some quarters, particularly Pakistan, which on Wednesday evening shut down Facebook.
An Islamic lawyers association in Lahore, Pakistan, argued that the contest essentially equaled blasphemy, and on Wednesday won a court injunction against the social-networking site. A Facebook page promoting the cartoonist's idea (but not set up by her) had drawn upward of 71,000 members as of 11 p.m. PDT Wednesday night.
Facebook will reportedly be shut down in Pakistan for the remainder of the month.
The brouhaha started when Molly Norris drew a cartoon depicting objects like a domino, a spool of thread, and a handbag, saying they were the "real likeness of Mohammed."
Norris said she drew her cartoon as a statement on free speech and a gesture of support for Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the Comedy Central show "South Park." The pair drew threats of retaliation after airing an episode earlier this year depicting the prophet Muhammed in a bear suit. Some Muslims consider images of Mohammed to be blasphemous.
The episode led a New York-based Web site called RevolutionMuslim.com to warn creators of the animated series that "what they are doing is stupid, and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh." Van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker and relative of famed painter Vincent Van Gogh, was murdered in 2004 after producing a 10-minute movie focused on violence against women in some Islamic societies.
The show's producers then said Comedy Central, to make the episode suitable for later airing, censored the show by removing a speech about intimidation and fear without their permission.
After posting her Muhammed-related cartoon--which included a fake group called Citizens Against Citizens Against Humor calling for an "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day"--the idea quickly went viral, drawing thousands of enthusiastic supporters and spawning not only a Facebook page, but a blog.
The idea has also drawn a good share of opponents, however, including some pro-free-speech political cartoonists--on Facebook and elsewhere online.
Among the opponents is Norris, who on her Web site strongly distances herself from the concept of "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day," apologizing to Muslims and saying she meant her cartoon as a one-off statement on free speech and censorship and had no idea how far her attempt at satire would go.
"The vitriol this 'day' has brought out, of people who only want to draw obscene images, is offensive to Muslims who did nothing to endanger our right to expression in the first place," she writes. "Only Viacom and Revolution Muslim are to blame, so...draw them instead!"
Norris even joined the Facebook group Against "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day - May 20," which as of Wednesday night had more than 37,000 members.
A blurb on the Facebook page say it exists "to portray this group from a moral, not religious, standpoint that is respectful towards the human race, and is capable of knowing what is/can be unnecessarily offensive and controversial to any group of people/individual."
In addition, as an alternative, Norris suggests turning Thursday into "Everybody Draw Al Gore Day," wherein people turn their creative attention to depicting the "Holy Prophet of the Church of Global Warming."

The records first week iTunes & Bandcamp sales will be donated to Irv's alma mater & after school programs in Kansas City. (Kensington Gymnasium & the YMCA where he stayed out of trouble as a kid). Here's what he said about the record:
"Without a woman there is no life. Play this for the all of the queens in your life. Mothers, sisters, daughters, cousins, girlfriends, wives, friends. Let them know they are incredible and we're nothing without them".
Thoughts on "U R"?

Tell em shoot for the moon take your place in the stars
Keep it moving they gon' see you for the comet you are

Severian boots from Lassitude & Ennui
Look at these beautiful boots! Jackal Ennui is one of those perfectionist creators who can work slowly on something for months before she's happy with it, and even then she still frets about this or that detail. But damn, I think they're gorgeous. The Severian boots are named after the torturer fellow from The Book of the New Sun, and I can totally see him stomping around in these. The boots come in a few different colors, and also come fit to female avatars as well. (Go stare @ Lassitude & Ennui)

The awesome Kelly at KellyVision started posting a weekly post highlighting whatever she happened to be obsessed with that week. I LOVE this idea, so much in fact that I will be doing it myself every Saturday.
Here are my obsessions this week. It's heavy on the pretty covers because it's cover reveal time!
This was the week of cover reveals because Harper unveiled almost all of their Fall 2014 title's covers.
Cover for Amy Ewing's The Jewel
It reminds me a lot of the covers for The Selection. However, the synopsis makes it sound like an ever darker world. I do love this cover though. It's really pretty.
Cover for Anna Carey's Blackbird
The premise for this sounds really intriguing. It's told in second person which, from all accounts, makes you fully immersed in this story. The cover is okay, but the tagline immediately has me saying "whoa!".
Cover for Caroline Pignat's Unspeakable
I always love underwater photos/art/etc and this is no exception. I think it's really pretty. The synopsis has me wanting to read this immediately though! It not only takes place in Canada, but has a heartbreaking romance at it's center. Totally intrigued.
Cover of Illusions of Fate by Kiersten White
Oh! I love this. It's beautiful. The mixture of magic with a touch of historical has me really intrigued. Plus Kiersten White mentioned there would be kissing. I enjoy kissing in books. Add it to your Goodreads if you haven't already.
Cover of Bethany Griffin's The Fall
I helped reveal this on this blog this week. However, I LOVE it. It captures the haunting, creepy vibe of the synopsis perfectly. Bethany's previous books are some of my favourites so I can't wait to get my hands on this one.
Book Expo America
Tickets are purchased. Apartment is booked. Things are happening. Why is it not May yet? The big news that was announced is that Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, and Alan Cumming are the Master of Ceremonies for the annual breakfasts BEA hosts. This is obviously awesome! I am looking forward to the autographing schedule being released so I can attempt to plan my days.

I have started drawing and painting since childhood and was taking art classes on and off. Four years ago I have finished a certificate program at George Brown colleague. While studying I have experimented with a lot of mediums and found that I am attracted to watercolours a lot- to its fluidity and transparent effects.
What is your process from when you think of an idea to when you complete a painting?
Most of my paintings are custom couple and family portraits. I receive a photo reference or a description from my customers. They also choose dominant colors of the art work and we together finalize other details, like adding flowers, landmarks, special outfit, etc. In brief, I want to show love and joy in my paintings.
I paint in series, for example: mom and babies, couples, women and flowers, etc. One or two paintings from series I leave for myself since it usually have an emotional meaning and reflects my story. Custom works usually capture a meaningful moment from my customer's life and I try to capture it as close as possible to the expectation of the person. For example , the last customer wanted to highlight the shoes of the couple and specific pattern on them. We worked together to make the painting look as best as it can be considering the wishes of the customer. I have incorporated the pattern on the background and made the shoes stand out with the contrasted background.
What is your favourite part so far about having an Etsy shop?
In addition to the creating process, I love to communicate to my customers and make them happy by creating a unique painting that captures the happiest moment in their lives. Most of my customers purchase custom portraits as wedding, anniversary or birthday gifts.
My style is figurative abstraction which refers to painting the figure in non realistic way. I chose to show the resemblance by painting silhouette like figures and put a focus on a mood of the painting rather than facial features.
I love that you'd rather focus on mood than facial features. How did you discover your style?
My style is a result of many years of drawing and painting. I always was attracted to abstract painting and classic figure painting, and practice sketching models on ongoing basis. My goal was to combine both and make it unique that it won't repeat anybody else.
Tanya is offering 20% off towards the order of custom portrait till January 7, 2017. Coupon Code: winterholidays

Days to publication date: 50
In my last post I discussed one of the topical blogs I created that simultaneously exists as a stand-alone enterprise and relates to my upcoming novel, Luck and Death at the Edge of the World.
Last time I talked about Homo Artificialis, which has to do with the possibility of creating sythetic human bodies and the real-life, present-day science that could lead to it. The use of synthetic bodies, either as replacements for bodies that are aging or sick or as ugrades to augment certain capacities, is something that is possible, but not yet commonplace, in the world of Luck and Death.
But cybernetics isn't to everyone's taste, so today I want to introduce you to a very different blog, Once and Future Mexico.
A large portion of Luck and Death is set in Mexico City, which I visited in 2006 for the express purpose of writing that portion of the book.
Since the book is a work of science fiction, the Mexico City it portrays is not the current city but a version circa the mid-2200s. (As the name of the blog implies, though, projecting forward sometimes requires looking back — the best futurists are always, at least in part, historians.)
Between now and the time of Luck and Death, the United States of America has expanded into an empire, become unweildy, and then collapsed in upon itself, leaving behind independent nations (like California and Texas), city-states (like New York City), the disastrous Grey Zones that have consumed most of middle America and Canada (where civilization has collapsed completely), and a number of foreign territories — including Mexico — that the U.S. formerly dominated and which now coexist uneasily with it.
If you think the US/Mexico border is freighted with politically incendiary meaning today, imagine a world where Sacramento has no compunction about sending its troops into Tijuana to "pacify" the civilian population to prevent disorder or insurrection on its border.
OAFM looks primarily at the future of Mexico, both in reality and in fiction. The parts grounded in reality look at current social, economic, and cultural trends, while the parts related to fiction look at science fiction that is set in — and often cretaed in — Mexico.
So what exactly does OAFM cover?
The most recent article, posted just today, is called MeXbox Rising: Mexico's Gaming Industry Turns Into a Monster. It looks at the recent rapid growth of gaming in Mexico and the beginnings of a local game design industry. It includes several videos, a large infographic, and links to numerous articles.
Here are a few past stories:
- Space Age Mexico! — Mexico's Space Program, founded in 2010 (includes several videos)
- Artists in Mexico City Dissect the Future — A look at an art exhibit in Mexico City focused on the notion of time.
- Mexican Science Fiction, Part III: Three Messages and a Warning — This looks at a recent collection of Mexican fantastic literature. Parts I and II reviewed made-in-Mexico science fiction films.
- A New Economic Boom in Mexico? The Guy Who Brought You the Term "BRIC" Says Yes — This one's self-explanatory.
- When Books Attack! A Suggestion to Assist Enrique Peña Nieto — A look at the state of this year's presidential election and its front runner.
If you can't get away to visit Mexico just now, visit its future online. And for readers who are from Mexico, or whose heritage is Mexican, I look forward to your comments. I've had several positive reactions so far, but feel free to write not only with compliments but also with critiques. I'm always looking for ways to improve the site.
