Zook, Rebecca
Peace. Beauty. Light.
Three aspects that Rebecca Zook consciously incorporates into her paintings. As a native Texan, she grew up with an appreciation of the unique beauty that Texas offers. Wandering the trails, playing in the creek near her childhood home and befriending every creature she encountered, Rebecca found a true love in nature. This connection is something that's remained a part of her throughout her life and this love of the landscape and its inhabitants is expressed through each brushstroke.
"I'm drawn to Texas' plentiful native grasses in particular. Watching the wind weave patterns through them and the gentle swaying provide me with a much needed calm. I stand among them and am reminded of the ocean. Great waves roll across the fields. Seed heads catch the sun and glow like breaking spray."
The Texas sky also holds great fascination. She has photographed clouds for close to 12 years, amassing a huge collection of source material with the intent of creating a series of paintings. She finally began that ongoing project in late 2015.
"If you stop and watch the sky for any length of time, you realize how quickly it transforms itself. Clouds spring to life, change shape and dissipate right before your eyes. Sunrises and sunsets are the most dramatic. Almost second by second the colors grow and fade. My paintings capture one brief moment of that perpetually changing beauty."
"The Natural World" is a body of work that is a true labor of love for the artist. Rebecca hopes you enjoy these paintings and her written thoughts that accompany each piece.

Choosing the right location is critical. When investing, you're not selecting a location where you would necessarily choose to live. It's a time to put personal preferences aside and look at the facts, and ultimately choose a location that will offer you the best investment return. There's no point snagging a bargain if there's little rental demand, leaving you with no tenant to provide income.
There are a number of things to keep your eye on when scouting for a location to invest.
Transport is a big one. Areas that are scheduled to benefit from improved transport infrastructure often boom as people move to improve their commute. Proximity to major transport lines - buses, trains, trams and ferries - are obvious drawcards, but well-supported mixed networks of park-and-ride facilities, bike paths and local shuttles also make areas more attractive. Government announcements and websites will give you a good handle on what is happening where.
In addition to transport, good infrastructure is also important. Access to services such as hospitals, schools, child care options, universities and shopping centres has a huge influence on the appeal of a location.
This leads to the health of the local economy, another crucial factor. When assessing an area for investment, look into the local industries. Is there a mix of shopping strips supporting local small businesses and larger complexes with supermarkets? What about business parks and industrial complexes? A range of businesses and industries are needed to support and contribute to the local economy.
Lifestyle is also a major factor. What does the local area offer the people who live there? It may be restaurants, cafes and bars, or theatres and nightclubs. It may be the natural environs, such as beaches, lakes, mountains or bushland. It could be as simple as great parks and bike paths for the kids, but there needs to be a lifestyle appeal to create a good location.
Of course, once you've selected your location, you're not home and hosed. You then have to choose what to buy, when to buy and how much to pay. Fortunately, there is another option.
Serviced apartments offer a great alternative to investing in residential property the traditional way.
Teams of researchers work on discovering and assessing locations that have healthy economies, are important centres in the region, have prospering business centres and great infrastructure to support the local community.
When you choose to invest in a serviced apartment, you know that all the location due diligence has been done for you. Similarly, the hard work about deciding what kind of property to invest in is also done: serviced apartment operators develop properties in areas well-supported by corporate travellers, as opposed to traditional tourist centres.
Serviced apartments offer investors a simpler way to solve the "location, location, location" dilemma and achieve the right mix for property investment success.

What was the process like making these monoprints vs. prints you have made in the past?
The difference basically is that projects I've done in the past with Pace have been works that are figurative depicting an epic tale. In this case, it is the opposite. It is a project that is more abstract, the technique is very different and the work is very colorful.
This exhibition is a colorful project made up of overlapping forms and lines that end up creating explosions of images that I call "rippling." They are like dialogues and conversations. There is an organized chaos in each piece that achieves its own individual space.
During the process of making these pieces at the Jo Watanabe studio I began to realize that each image is built and created through a rigorous equilibrium of rhythms that are full of numeric codes, of color, lines and paper. I was fascinated as they created order as I accumulated images. It was like a math problem that needed to be solved.
Did the process differ from your studio practice?
Absolutely. When I step out of my studio it is so I can acquire new understandings and disciplines and to communicate with those I'm collaborating with. I'm sure that each time both Dick and Jacob propose that I leave my studio for a project, they have to prepare themselves. I think they sometimes, and I say this in the most positive way, think of me and my energy as a little like a wild tiger that is let out of its cage. For me it is like going to the playground after lunch when I was in grade school. I had to take advantage of every minute and live it to its fullest. Also, in my studio accidents are always well received. When I do collaborations outside of my studio, I have to be very sure of what I want to do, be very prepared, and execute my ideas with precision.
So many of your recent projects have focused on an epic tales. Where does this imagery come from?
All of our actions have an "echo" that in the end make up a piece of work. Irvin Yalom said this and I think he is right. Originality is found in the personal essence of each element. I try to mix a clean and free attitude with a very intentional purpose that converts into something that is mine. As if I had a radar on that has to anticipate what is going to happen. Everything started with an explosion. Rippling is an explosion of ripples in the water. The essence of this project is to frame this explosion on paper. If the idea goes outside of the paper, it would be lost forever. My obligation as an artist is to freeze that instant in time.
How does your personal history and nationality relate to your art?
It helps to guide me. I place a lot of importance on small things, large things, sounds, mosquitoes, etc. My creative process comes from life experiences, difficult moments, things I love, a sense of humor and also from the pain of the loss of loved ones that were loved fiercely. Being in tune with all of this lets me create under better conditions. Being alert to what is coming and acting on that information. It's important to know how to translate this pain and lose of someone into something creative and to create more than ever without forgetting that you have to have a good time and enjoy yourself.
Unique moments that are full of emotions can be translated into creations. For example, in my family we have Aunt Carmen, an insufferable person. She drove me crazy when I was little. I can't stand her. The bad mood and anger that she provoked in me, in time, I have been able to channel to create, paint and draw. Sometimes what bugs us the most can be the source of the solution to our creative process. I am seriously considering doing a whole project on her. I could paint what I could never do to my Aunt Carmen. Using all of these memories and anger to make better work. The bad part is that I might actually have to thank her in the end.
Would you prefer the viewer know something about you or know nothing about you before they see your art?
It doesn't matter. What is important is what Rilke said, "a work of art is good when it is created out of necessity."
Where are you right now and what are you working on?
I'm working everyday. I direct my efforts to know how to isolate myself and increase my contribution to painting. Something inside of me, what's eating away at me, makes my work more interesting. I think my work is maturing and is more creative. Even though my internal needs as an artist differ a lot from that of the current murmurs of the environment. My internal struggle I know how to deal with, but I don't have a way battling with the outside, which sometimes freezes me. I continue thinking, imagining, translating. As I said, my work is like a chase with my Aunt Carmen with a broom. Other times, with more sophisticated weapons, to gain her silence and be free.
I focus a lot on forgetting my instincts, which drive me toward certain automatic responses. I think a lot about the outline of the body and how to have a dialogue with the landscape. Ears for me, for example, relate to dense forests. I know this may not be completely clear but I know what I'm talking about.
Who living or dead, real or fictional, would you want to see your work?
People I love and care about; and all children.

Telltale signs that winter is coming are everywhere - the Turkey Sale, hordes of young people weighted down by luggage arriving from all over the world and buses slowly reaching capacity as they near the village as hundreds of residents decide that it's finally too cold and/or dark to bike to work.
Help is on the way. Starting on Oct. 17 Whistler Transit will reintroduce the Creekside Express bus with limited service between Creekside and Whistler Village during peak hours. The new schedule will be posted online at www.busonline.ca.
Winter operations are scheduled to get underway on opening day for Whistler Blackcomb, Nov. 26, although it could be earlier.
"There will be a second ramp-up of service when the mountains open," explained municipal traffic demand management coordinator Emma DalSanto. "Right now it is scheduled for Nov. 26... official opening day. I have put B.C. Transit and Whistler Transit on notice that we may need to start this ramped-up service even earlier if we get enough snow to open the mountains early."
The full winter schedule is still being finalized, but all routes will see more regular service after a third ramp-up of service, likely sometime in December.
The Village Shuttle will also see an increase with an earlier start time to get people to the mountains. There will also be additional Creekside Express service compared to previous years.
The enhanced Olympic service is scheduled to run from Feb. 1 to 28, 2010, with 135 buses in operation 24 hours a day within Whistler, and between Whistler and Squamish as well as Whistler and Pemberton.
Currently 39 buses serve Whistler and commuter routes at peak periods.

Sondai Fort:
Sondai is not a popular or unknown fort, stands approx 6kms of Karjat overlooking the Karjat-Chauk highway and offers a beautiful view of Morbe Dam, Prabalgad, Irshal, Rajmachi, Songiri forts and Matheran mountain range. This was used as a watch tower. The base village of Sondewadi stands on a considerable height. There are 2 water cisterns on Machi (at the base of the pinnacle) and steps are carved out of rocks to go on the topmost point where an idol of Sondai Devi stands. Two more water cisterns are on the way and has potable water. Two missing steps in the rock make one to climb a small patch of 15 feet but proper hand holds and footsteps are available and that makes it easy even in monsoon. Waverly is another village from where a bit difficult approach to the fort passes through the dense forest. Overall it's an ideal one day hike for newcomers in the trekking field.

Case Study: Reviewing the Cancer Survivor's Network
Jeff Johnson told me about his experiences doing a usability review of the American Cancer Society's Cancer Survivor Network. I was interested in his process and the impact of his findings because design and usability are arguably more important in a health site than any other type of site because of health literacy. Most interestingly to me is that cancer survivors were not involved in the design or evaluation process by the design firm even after Jeff's recommendation. Jeff wrote a description of the process and the impact of his findings:
In mid-2002, a web-design firm (NewSof Group) contacted my usability consulting firm (UI Wizards). They developed and maintain the American Cancer Society's Cancer Survivor Network (CSN), a website supporting cancer survivors, cancer patients, and their caretakers. In preparation for a planned site revision, NewSof Group wanted an independent usability review of the site.
Before beginning the review, I requested and received the following information from NewSof:
– The overall purpose or mission of the site,
– Important end-to-end tasks the site is intended to support,
– The parts of the site to be included in the review, and parts to be excluded,
– Known problems and concerns pertaining to the site's usability.
The mission statement of the site was given as: "To be a vibrant community of real people supporting one another and sharing our personal experiences with cancer in our own way, with our own words. None of us need to make the cancer journey alone. We wish to help people find and connect with others like themselves and learn from the experience of others like themselves."
Obviously, CSN users are not assumed to be technically skilled, so the site has to avoid using technical jargon and exposing technical concepts.
The parts of the site to be reviewed included all of its main sections, e.g., About, Calendar & Announcements, Expressions Gallery, CSN Email, Member Web Pages, Resource Library, Sign-In & Register, Comments, Help. The primary tasks to cover in the review were those supported by the included sections. Accessing all important areas of the site required me to register as a site-member. Aspects of the site excluded from the review were links to the American Cancer Society's main site, the Spanish or Chinese pages, and details of member-posted content.
Previously known usability issues in the site included:
– Search
– Chat
– CSN email
– Clarifying data-sharing restrictions mandated by ACS policy and medical privacy laws.
As I was reviewing the site, I found I had questions and needed clarification concerning its function, the designers' intent, and implementation constraints. I emailed batches of questions to my contact at NewSof by email, who either answered them immediately or forwarded them to developers who answered them.
To provide quick feedback so the developers could begin work revising the site, I compiled a preliminary list of usability problems and recommendations and sent it to NewSof as a simple email message. I then refined the preliminary report to provide a more comprehensive, categorized and prioritized list of problems and more complete recommendations. The 36-page report documented 181 potential usability problems, some supported by screen images, and most with recommended remedies. Many reported problems concerned overly wordy and unclear instructions, for which my recommended improvements were rewritten and shortened text. Other problems concerned insufficient navigation cues, inconsistent placement of Search boxes, difficult-to-learn functions, overly tedious operation of some common functions, unclear link labels, and wasted page-space.
I submitted the report to NewSof, and after a few days they pronounced it "just what we needed" and declared the consulting engagement concluded. As a follow-up, I recommended that NewSof consider hiring a usability consultant who actually is a cancer patient or survivor. I knew two who were willing to have me refer NewSof to them. I don't know if NewSof ever contacted them.
Since I was still a registered CSN member (and still am), I occasionally have checked to see which of my recommendations they implemented. The short answer is: some, but not all. They reduced the volume of verbiage significantly, in some cases using my recommended rewording and in others devising their own. They ignored other recommendations such as conserving page- space.

From the Independent October 14, 2012
The guitar king who said it all through his music
For Irish rock fans of a certain age there were certain concerts that were almost a compulsory rite of passage. Back in the dim and distant days of the early 1970s, when events in the North conspired to keep most touring acts away from the country, you had Horslips bringing a dash of colour to far-flung outposts, Thin Lizzy popping back on a regular basis as Phil Lynott's determined drive for stardom slowly but surely gained momentum, and then there was Rory Gallagher.
The return of the lumberjack-shirted guitar king was an annual event around the Christmas/New Year period and a 'must see' gig. In Dublin, these celebrations usually took place in the National Stadium, with the occasional switch to the Carlton, and they had a significance beyond just being great nights out in themselves. With the country not in the best of shape -- and that's putting it mildly -- the fact that we could boast a musician who was making inroads on the world stage acted as a source of immense pride and that clearly comes across in the early stages of Marcus Connaughton's book.
The Donegal-born, Cork-reared Rory was determined to be a musician from his earliest days, and when he eventually bought his trademark Fender Stratocaster from Crowley's Music Centre on Merchants Quay in Cork at the age of 15, he was set on a path which saw him rated among the elite exponents of the instrument. In His Life and Times we get the chronological trajectory of Gallagher's career but very little insight into the man himself.
Granted, there are biographers who'll analyse their subject beyond the point of parody and, mercifully, Marcus Connaughton isn't one of that gang, but there's the feeling that a bit of heft might not have gone amiss and made for a more absorbing read.
That said, Rory Gallagher was a very private individual and even in Riding Shotgun, the memoir from long-time bassist Gerry McAvoy which appeared a couple of years ago, we learned little or nothing about what he was really like. When even his brother and manager Donal can admit -- "Whatever he was feeling, good or bad, he kept very much to himself. I can't say that we ever had an in-depth personal conversation. There wasn't a lot said between us" -- you're at the more impenetrable end of the enigma scale.
The book is at its best in capturing the heady swirl of Gallagher's early days. Going from playing with showbands, travelling to Hamburg and eventually forming Taste, where his abiding love of blues was allowed free rein, there's a palpable energy to reading about this period of his life. From 1967 to 1970 his star was in the ascendant, to the point that when Jimi Hendrix was asked what it felt like to be the best guitarist in the world he replied: "I don't know, ask Rory Gallagher."
Taste's messy split is glossed over somewhat and we're onto the solo career which, it has to be said, makes for rather repetitive reading after a while. The peaks of the Live in Europe album and Irish Tour '74 film are dealt with well but potted biographies of the bluesmen whose songs were covered by Rory feels like padding, especially given that His Life and Times is only 165 pages long with plenty of full-page photographs.
The circumstances leading to Rory's death in 1995 at the age of 47, due to complications following a liver transplant, don't really feature in the text, probably due to the fact that Gallagher himself wasn't letting anyone know what was up with him.
His demeanour may have been shy but his music told us more than enough. Whether we remember him as the driven young tyro of the early '70s, all bravado and blazing solos, or the more contemplative blues and folk aficionado of latter years, the music is still there to be explored and enjoyed and His Life and Times certainly inspired a couple of trips to the CD rack.

Contrary to what the Eat Pray Love movie would have you believe, Ubud has no beach.We are however only half an hour away from the coastal village of Sanur and we do like to take a trip down there from time to time (not often enough) in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is not quite so strong.
My dad is here at the moment and we've been trying to take more trips out so we took a little trip down to Sanur in the afternoon the other day. We usually go to one of the tourist beaches behind the big hotels as they're cleaner but this time we decided to head down to the local beach – packed with families, screaming kids, kite flyers and lumpia (spring roll) and barbecued sweetcorn sellers.
Maya seems to have overcome her fear of the ocean and practically threw herself into the waves. Kiran is stil not convinced but he LOVES the sand (in contrast to Maya at his age who refused to walk on it). Both kids spent a happy couple of hours making sandcastles and digging and we got to sit back and relax while they ran around (apart from a few occasions of running after Kiran who was in pursuit of a doggy).
I'm thinking we might have to make a beach trip a weekly tradition

Dad's...umm...working late?
A couple of months ago I saw a KFC ad on TV (I couldn't find it on youtube) that struck me by surprise. I got pretty mad after watching it actually. It was the typical KFC family value meal commercial. However, the family was black...and missing a father. I don't recall having seen any other KFC commercials sans father. So I thought of course they're targeting black single mothers. Ad agencies are bad. We know this. There are plenty of racists, sexist, etc. commercials on the market or those that target groups that they either shouldn't be targeting or are going about it in the wrong way. But this was painstakingly obvious. Black family. No father. Really KFC? I know people think, well maybe he was working late or something like that. But then that would leave Americans to assume that a black male had a job and that's not good for anyone. And since when do commercials need a back story to be TV appropriate. If we're going to be real about things in commercials, then why not be really real. Why not have 13 yr olds smoking cigarettes? Why not have obese people chilling at McDonald's? I'm not saying stop targeting groups. I'm saying try to be a little less obvious. Nobody was complaining when a couple of years ago McDonald's all of a sudden had an unusual amount of black people in commercials with hip hop blaring in the background. Discreteness. Try it.

Jesus is often playful with me in my visions. My encounter with him in service last night was no different. I was rapt in worshipping the Lord, focusing on the whiteness of His robe. I asked the Lord to wrap me in his arms, to "envelope" me.
He laughed at me, as He often does, and started playfully tickling me and poking me. He said, "So, what? So I stick a stamp on you and mail you?" Laughing and giggling like a child as we played, I said, "YES! Mail me!"
He started teasing me about mailing me, saying, "Priority Mail! Express Mail! Air Mail!"
Then he stopped and looked at me, and I at him, and He asked me, "Do you know how much it cost to mail you?" I shook my head, "No."
He said, simply, "EVERYTHING. It cost everything."

April 29: The Position of the Problem of Ontogenesis (Simondon part 2a)
by lukevanryn
Weather, social traditions and locked doors prevented us from meeting last week, so we will repeat the reading this week.
[via @smwark] In this week's continuing engagement with the work of Gilbert Simondon, TCRG reads 'The Position of the Problem of Ontogenesis', a translation of part of the introduction to the second half of Simondon's doctoral thesis, 'L'individuation psychic et collective'. Following on from last week's engagement with Simondon's METO, this extract introduces Simondon's critical engagement with being, or ontology, and becoming, or individuation.
In this extract Simondon develops the central tenet of his philosophy: that being is becoming, or that ontology needs to be replaced by ontogenesis. This philosophical position emerges from a critique of two central models of being and becoming, the monist/substantialist model and the form/matter or hylomorphic model. Simondon argues that these two philosophical approaches to the individual are fundamentally flawed. This is because both models "presuppose the existence of a principle of individuation that is anterior to the individuation itself" (4). To presuppose a principle of individuation is to presuppose the existence of an individual that develops in a particular way, foreclosing the novelty and contingency of individuation, of becoming, itself. For Simondon, the individual should be grasped
"as a relative reality, a certain phase of being that supposes a preindividual reality, and that, even after individuation, does not exist on its own, because individuation does not exhaust with one stroke the potentials of preindividual reality" (5).
Or: the individual should be known through its individuation, which emerges from fields of potential that are immanent to it, rather than through transcendent principles that guide its becoming.
By providing us with a wide-ranging introduction to Simondon's critique of substantialism and hylomprhism, this extract also introduces us to the terminology Simondon uses throughout his philosophy. This constellation of critiques and concepts is a key influence on the work of subsequent French philosophers: the preindividual milieu on Gilles Deleuze's virtual; individuation on Bernard Stiegler's understanding of the relationship between technology and the human; Bruno Latour's recent engagements with technology as a mode of being in AIME. It also fits within a new materialist lineage of philosophies of becoming that have become increasingly influential (see, for instance, Jussi Parikka's engagements with new materialism in Fibreculture). Yet as Stiegler's work in particular shows, this terminology can also be used to develop insightful engagements with contemporary media and technology.
[PDF] Gilbert Simondon, 'The Position of the Problem of Ontogenesis' trans. Gregory Flanders, Parrhesia no. 7, 2009: 4-16. A useful glossary of Simondon's terms can also be found here.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1916)
|Beatrix Potter
Virginia Albert.
Once upon a time there were four little rabbits, and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter.
THEY lived with their mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir tree.
"Now, my dears," said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, "You may
go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden.
Your father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor."
THEN old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella and went through the wood to the baker's.
SHE bought a loaf of brown bread and five currant buns.
Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail who were good little bunnies went down the lane together
To gather blackberries.
SQUEEZED under the gate!
Mr. McGregor was on his hands and knees planting out young cabbages, but he jumped up and ran after Peter, waving a rake and calling out "Stop thief!"
PETER was most dreadfully frightened; he rushed all over the garden, for he had forgotten the way back to the gate.
HE lost one shoe among the cabbages, and the other amongst the potatoes.
AFTER losing them, he ran on four legs and went faster
So that I think he might have got away altogether if he had not unfortunately run into a gooseberry net
And got caught by the large buttons on his jacket.
It was a blue jacket with brass buttons, quite new.
HE rushed into the tool-shed and—
It would have been a beautiful thing to hide in, if it had not had so much water in it. Mr. McGregor was quite sure that Peter was somewhere in the tool-shed, perhaps hidden underneath a flower-pot.
He began to turn them over carefully, looking under each.
Presently Peter sneezed "Kertyschoo!"
Mr. McGregor was after him in no time, and tried to put his foot upon Peter, who
PETER sat down to rest; he was out of breath and trembling with fright, and he had not the least idea which way to go.
Also he was very damp with sitting in that can.
HE found a door in a wall; but it was locked and there was no room for a fat little rabbit to squeeze underneath.
An old mouse was running in and out over the stone doorstep, carrying peas and beans to her family in the wood. Peter asked her the way to the gate but she had such a large pea in her mouth she could not answer. She only shook her head at him.
Peter began to cry.
THEN he tried to find his way straight across the garden, but he became more and more puzzled. Presently he came to a pond where Mr. MeGregor filled his water-cans. A white cat was staring at some gold-fish; she sat very, very still, but now and then the tip of her tail twitched as if it were alive. Peter thought it best to go away without speaking to her.
HE had heard about cats from his cousin, little Benjamin Bunny.
THE first thing he saw was Mr. McGregor hoeing onions. His back was turned towards Peter and beyond him was the gate!
Peter got down very quietly off the wheel-barrow and started running as fast as he could go, along a straight walk behind some black currant bushes. Mr. McGregor caught sight of him at the corner, but Peter did not care. He slipped underneath the gate and was safe at last in the wood outside the garden.
Peter never stopped running or looked behind him
Till he got home to the big fir-tree.
He was so tired that he flopped down upon the nice soft sand on the floor of the rabbit hole, and shut his eyes. His mother was busy cooking; she wondered what he had done with his clothes.
It was the second little jacket and pair of shoes that Peter had lost in a fortnight!I am sorry to say that Peter was not very well during the evening. His mother put him to bed and made some camomile tea;

Editor's note: In the fourth century B.C., Alexander the Great forged a path from Greece through the modern Middle East to Persia. It was a path of conquest that empires would follow through the ages. Traces of each can be seen today in the culture, monuments, continuing military presence and people along the route, which ended for Alexander in Babylon — modern-day Iraq. In this project, GlobalPost correspondent Theodore May sets out to see how Alexander's influence lives on. He will be blogging about his travels at Backpacking to Babylon.
CAIRO, Egypt — It was about 9:30 on a cloudless morning in mid-October when I suddenly had the feeling I was flying.
Moments before, I had leaned over the handlebars of my creaky one-speed bike to get a look at the front brakes. That was all it took. Turning my eyes from the road for a minute, I careened into a sand bank, sailed over my handlebars, and landed square on my head, crumbling to the desert floor in a fit of laughter.
Before I set off on my six-month journey to retrace the footsteps of Alexander the Great through the Middle East, I had packed a first aid kit full of gauze, bandages, rubbing alcohol, etc. I reasoned that anyone who planned to make a living out of walking with an overstuffed backpack was likely to take a tumble or two.
Six months of walking later, I had yet to take a fall. Three days on a bike, though, and I had already taken two opportunities to express my affection for the desert floor.
Alexander the Great's 600-mile journey through the vast and uninviting expanse of the Sahara posed a formidable logistical challenge for me. Walking as I do, the desert leg would have taken about a month and a half on foot.
So I chose to tackle the route by bike, a mode of transportation I had little familiarity with. Friends with cycling experience warned me that the journey still wouldn't be easy. I scoffed. On a bike, I figured, I'd have the opportunity to rest and coast at the same time. Free mileage!
The two-day ride from the Mediterranean coast to Siwa Oasis seemed to confirm my theory. The wind was at my back, the road was flat, and traffic was scarce. I spent my one night in the desert cheek by jowl with a couple of old Bedouin men in the guard hut alongside a cell tower. In all, the first leg of my bike trip wasn't all that painful.
Siwa was the purpose of Alexander's daring journey through the desert and a particular highlight of the trip for me. After founding the coastal city of Alexandria, the Macedonian army set off for the oasis with the purpose of realizing Alexander's dream to have the oasis' renowned oracle name him the Pharaoh of Egypt and as a descendent of the gods.
I spent days exploring the oasis, eating the local food, visiting the ancient sites and enjoying the shade provided by the palm groves. Because it's a nine-hour drive from Cairo, the oasis remains largely cut off from the outside world. Siwans retain a unique language and donkey taxis are still the best mode of transportation for foreigners.
This was the one time in the journey I was literally able to stand in Alexander's footprints — during a visit to the tiny temple chamber where Alexander had his fateful audience with the oracle. Some historians argue that it was the oracle's willingness to declare him a descendent of the gods that propelled Alexander to attempt to conquer the known world.
After several days in the oasis, my father joined me. He had been eager to accompany me on a leg of my journey, and he trained on a bike for a week or two ahead of time so that he'd be ready for the nearly 500-mile journey through the desert from Siwa to Cairo.
It was at this point that we ran into trouble. I quickly figured out that because I was drinking six liters of water a day, it would be physically impossible for me to carry enough food and water for the journey ahead. We remedied this by hiring a couple of local Siwans to accompany us in a support jeep. They'd carry water, cook and set up camp at night, while my father and I would spin the chains on our old bikes.
As my father pointed out with a laugh, this trip was made all the more authentic by the fact that we were attempting it on bikes that were around during the time of Alexander.
Our second logistical hurdle came when the Egyptian intelligence services in Siwa forbade us from biking from Siwa to Bahariya, which was the next oasis on our itinerary. After rounds of late night negotiations at the military barracks, we were granted permission to bike one day and drive the rest.
It was in Bahariya, therefore, that we launched on our final four day push to Cairo. It was also here that we learned a basic principle of biking in Egypt: the road ahead will always be uphill and the wind will always be head on. As a local desert guide would say to us later: "Why did you bike in this direction? If you go the other way, it's all downhill and with the wind!"
How thoughtless of Alexander.
We pushed about 60 miles a day, often fighting through strong headwinds. Our bikes were in such bad condition that even the downhills felt like a grind. At nights, our guides drove us a half mile into the desert and cooked up chicken or meat, vegetables and rice. We slept in sleeping bags under the stars. Our guides took a liking to the whiskey my father had brought, polishing off the bottles before we could get a word in edgewise.
On our last day into the capital, a week and a half after leaving the Mediterranean coast, we biked through heavily industrialized areas of the desert. Trucks streamed by us as we struggled to keep our bikes on the gravel shoulder. Many drivers seemed to think it their duty to welcome us to Egypt by slowing down and honking their incessant hellos.
All I could think of as I sipped a gas station-bought Pepsi minutes after finishing the trip was how much the oracle must have meant to Alexander for him to subject his troops to weeks of life in the barren, inhospitable terrain of the Sahara.

"Emotional pain is an abundant resource and the self-help book has a flourishing market. The Self-Help Library presents the museum visitor with several hundred titles to skim, tracing four decades of the recovery industry. The books of the 40s and 50s give birth to pop psychology, those of the 60s and 70s cater to the anxieties of
the New Woman, with the 80s come stress and burnout remedies. The 90s offer the intimate life stories of female celebrities that give a face to the conditions we've learned to name: 'Adult survivors of child sexual abuse' as told by Roseanne and 'eating disorders' as embodied by Lady Di."

Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey reportedly compared President Donald Trump to a "mob boss" in his first interview since being fired last year, the media reported.
A source present at the ABC News taping told Axios on Wednesday that the interview slated to air on Sunday night will "certainly add more meat to the charges swirling around Trump".
According to the source, the Comey interview left people in the room stunned.
The former Director spoke of things that he had never said before, the source told Axios news.
Some described the experience as surreal, he added.
Comey was fired by Trump last year, with the administration saying it stemmed from his handling of the investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's private email server, CNN reported.
Following his departure, Comey told the Senate Intelligence committee that the President had demanded his loyalty, pressed him to drop a probe into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and repeatedly pressured him to publicly declare that he was not under investigation.
Comey also claimed in Senate testimony that he was defamed by the administration over their justification of his termination.
Trump later said the Russia investigation was on his mind when he decided to fire Comey.

Pear Tarte Tatin // Video
Crisp and buttery, this easy to make dessert is what fall is all about. Pear Tarte Tatin is a simple skillet tart that's rich and flakey. Made with juicy, ripe pears and topped with a puff pastry dough, you'll wish fall would never end.
Hi y'all! It's 80 degrees again, where did fall go? I mean, really…I just ordered a truckload of sweaters and have been on a mad hunt for boots because on Sunday….I just couldn't get warm. And now this Indian summer has blown in and the bees are back…my plants are dying. Really, I'm going to have to buy new mums and my little guy can't understand why he can't wear his cable knit sweater. But it hasn't stopped me from chowing down on crisp fall Royal Riviera Pears from Harry & David. They're simply amazing all on their own, crisp, juicy and sweet….it's like a handful of dessert without having to turn on the oven.
But I did….I turned on the oven and I made a simple dessert that really made the pears even more beautiful than they are already. I love to make skillet desserts and have been itching to share a Tarte Tatin with all of you and what better way to enjoy this lovely dessert than with a pile of pears.
If you've never had a Pear Tarte Tatin…or any Tarte Tatin before…it's simply an upside down pastry where the fruit is caramelize in butter and sugar before being baked. I like to use a frozen puff pastry dough…thawed, of course….to make this dessert even more simple. And I even made a little video to show you just how easy it really is.
This Pear Tarte Tatin is such a showstopper….it makes a great addition to any holiday table. Just a few words of caution….when inverting your Pear Tarte Tatin onto a platter, be quick, like lightening, wear an oven mitt and watch out for molten caramel sauce flinging about. Other than that, easy peasy.
And if you love this Pear Tarte Tatin as much as I do….you should definitely add this Bourbon Pear Salad to your holiday menu…or your Sunday menu…or your Monday menu. It's amazing. Or, if you're looking for something else to satisfy your sweet tooth, try this Apple Bread Pudding…it's amazing.

A fourth entry in the Jurassic Park franchise has been in various stages of development for quite some time now. While the prospect of the film moving forward seemed to dwindle as time went on, there have been some major developments on the "Jurassic Park 4″ front as of late. Steven Spielberg announced at last year's Comic-Con that they had a story in mind and hoped to make the film "in two or three years." Late last month Rise of the Planet of the Apes screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver were brought onboard to pen the script, and now we've got an update from Spielberg's longtime producer Frank Marshall.
Collider got the chance to speak with Marshall in anticipation of the release of The Bourne Legacy, and the producer talked a bit about Jurassic Park 4, revealing that they plan on having it intheaters within two years.
During Collider's interview with Marshall, he asked the producer for a status update on Jurassic Park 4, to which Marshall replied:
"I would say that it will be on the screen within two years."
Marshall went on to reveal that they're aiming for a summer release since it's a "popcorn movie," and confirmed that it's definitely a sequel and not a reboot or remake. Spielberg confirmed earlier this year that he won't be directing Jurassic Park 4, but he's clearly heavily involved in the development of the film. Marshall cited the advances in visual effects as one of the exciting things to look forward to in JP4:
"That's what's gonna be great about it, technology's taken a leap now that we can really do some great things"

Inter President Massimo Moratti has let Rafael Benitez know that he was unimpressed with Tuesday's heavy defeat to Tottenham in the Champions League.
The holders lost 3-1 and once again showed they couldn't stop Welsh wing-back Gareth Bale who once again ran riot.
"We lacked play and character," Moratti said. "It's not that we need to react with severity every time these things happen, but if anything we need to take it into account and understand that we can't reach our objectives like this.
"In previous years moments like this have happened and in these cases we need to concentrate and put ourselves in a position to do better.
"I am looking to inform myself as much as possible to understand what happened. Someone must take a little step back.
"I don't know who but we need to try and put the theory into practice. I too will understand more with time."

How to format possible answers for "short answer" type of quiz questions
However, capitalization is not counted during comparison of strings. If a correct answer is "fuel" and students types "Fuel" it counts as a match. It is best to use this mode only for the question than can be answered with a word or with a number.
For the longer sentences, though, punctuation and even spaces matter. If an answer requires two words, you can add all possible combinations as answers. For example:
- Oxygen and hydrogen
- Oxygen & hydrogen
- Hydrogen and oxygen
- Hydrogen and oxygen

3402 Poplar Ave
Memphis, TN 38111
They recently opened a new Japanese restaurant on Poplar, and we decided to give it a try for dinner. It's in Poplar Plaza where Bookstar used to be. Back in the day, it was even a movie theatre.
The decor is very trendy feeling. It is a casual place, but it has a fancier feel.
They have hibachi tables. They have a sushi bar.
And a liquor bar. They had a lot of different drinks.
Garrett ordered the spring roles. I tasted one, and it was good. I think an order was $4.
I had the fried calamari as an appetizer. It was good, but if you want calamari, I wouldn't order it. It was mostly vegetable tempura. I liked it, but it wasn't what I was expecting. It was only $6.
We had hot sake to drink. The large was $12. The tables in the bar area were kind of cool. They constantly change colors. It was rather psychedelic.
We ordered the big boat of sushi. It was about $25. I'm not sure what everything was. It had several pieces of sushi, including salmon, tuna, and squid or octopus. It also had several nigiri rolls.
I enjoyed the meal. I love seafood and sushi. I'm sure we'll go back. It looked like they have lunch specials and early bird dinner specials.

The use of magnets for healing, is it possible? - Based on research of people like Albert Roy Davis, Walter C. Rawls and many others using magnets became a health care field should be more "mainstream", but today is treated by the medical profession as "fringe quackery ".
This subject is vast and would require an entire text to the problem of justice, but I'll try to give you a "taste" of what is possible when the magnets are used to treat the human body naturally.
The therapeutic use of static magnets have gained acceptance for the treatment of a number of issues related to physiological problems, cardiovascular and neuro-musculoskeletal ranging from pain relief to have the potential to prevent heart attacks.
The use of unipolar and bipolar static magnets as well as other forms of magnetic therapy, including pulsed electromagnetic fields extensively studied (PEMF) have been studied for a long time before the turn of the century.
Magnets have an effect on the body, simply because when you think of what is done (mostly water and minerals) are ionic molecules (an atom or a charged molecule), which means that all wear an electric charge and have positive and negative poles.
This is important if you remember back to the days of your experiences of early childhood science that use magnets to show "fields" that produced by using iron filings. These fields can have a direct impact on the body.
Even after all the research that has been done using magnets, it is still unclear how they work. As is known to have an effect on human physiology, it has been reproduced and found to have an effect on the biochemical chain of events which occur in the body.
A specific effect has to do with how the minerals and even water used in soft tissue after trauma and the normal biochemical processes that occur daily. [1,2] Because these magnets have certain effects on the body, shown in a study of slow and, in some cases considerably reduce the acute neuronal inflammation after injection of excess chemicals stimulate nerve tissue. [3]
The action has a magnetic field in the body reduces the excitotoxic, hyperexcitability and water retention that occurs at the cellular level between the affected tissues due to trauma. The pain associated with post-traumatic events like hitting your finger in a car door is not limited to a single chain of events.
With this in mind, and understanding that the magnets can regulate many systems in the body, especially after a traumatic event can help prevent the biochemical cascade that occurs after the fact.
The human cell is a very complex anatomical entity that can be assigned to many levels. Trauma can cause changes in the natural movement of ion channel proteins, can also cause physical changes in the lipid (a type of fat), it is the wall of the cell and inhibits the bilayer inward movement of ions and water. The good news is that if you act immediately after a traumatic event by placing magnets on the affected area can have a significant clinical effect. [4]
Many researchers have investigated the use of static magnetic fields (SMF) in animals and humans; in an animal study found that magnetic fields affected SMF internal organs of the test object. We also found that the orientation of the magnets during treatment may have an effect on blood chemistry and organ function. [5]
Other potential uses include magnets for use in the treatment of circulatory disorders which are shown magnets to reduce the thickness, viscosity and blood flow. An article published in "Science" published in 2011 deals with the use of magnets for this. Located: http://news.sciencemag.org/health/2011/06/magnets-keep-blood-flowing
doing a little of my own personal research about the companies that
sell only magnets, I found that many companies are simply selling the
actual physical magnets, and was not aware of its use in what was said above.
there are those that sell magnets for therapeutic use, many of whom
have no medical training or technical training to have a polite
discussion of how they should be used responsibly. I spoke with one of the business owners who gave me an idea that I could not find elsewhere.
A great nugget of information he shared with me was that most products of the company have the correct orientation. There is a difference between magnetic north and the North Pole; most of the products sold on the web are oriented to the North Pole. Their website also has lots of information about it, which I find very useful too http://www.biomagnetics.com/
Please note that there is a science to this, and as it is to the human body when it comes to healing, is rarely a one-dimensional approach. The actual healing requires a multidimensional methodology may also involve the use of magnets.

Whether you want them to do your house cleaning or office room cleaning, they do the job perfectly for you. They are punctual and fast in delivering their services.
There are several advantages to hiring a cleaning company instead of appointing a maidservant to do your house cleaning. First, house cleaning companies have advanced cleaning equipment and employ professional janitors. They are capable of cleaning the most complicated parts of your house. Conversely, the house cleaners lack advanced cleaning equipment. Moreover, they have lots of limitations when it comes to cleaning high areas.
Popular janitorial companies like cleaning services San Jose give a clear price list of their services. The customer can get the price list by visiting the official website of the cleaning service. Because there is tight competition among house cleaning companies, most companies try to lure customers by giving quite a comfortable price range.
In the opinion of professional janitors at cleaning services San Jose, the price of the cleaning is determined by several factors such as the space, the distance between the house and the company, the complication of work, etc. For instance, if the area is too complicated to clean due to thick stains or layers of dust, the cleaning companies will charge more for the service. Similarly, if modern cleaning tools are used, the charge will be even more.
A well-established professional cleaning company will give the first priority for the quality of the service. Customers are very important for them and they realize that giving quality services to the customers is essential to retain them for a longer period.
It is always better to hire the nearest cleaning service. However, if you cannot find a cleaning service near your home, hire any well-established cleaning services San Jose that has got multiple branches. Secondly, be clear with your demands.
Normally, the cleaning companies are very punctual in delivering their services. If you insist on them to do the cleaning at a specific time every week, they would be ready to comply with your demands and do the cleaning in the specified time. Have all your concerns about the cleaning services clarified before hiring a cleaning company.

Aura Fountains' project started in November 2014.
Munish Goswami is an entrepreneur with small local business in New Delhi, India that manufactures water fountains and swimming pools with limited yet loyal client base. He successfully created a local reputation through his uncompromising high-quality approach to meeting water body needs of his clients.
Mr. Goswami understood the bitter fact that with minimal digital footprint it is not easy to survive in business especially in the current internet era where almost everything is available on the internet. He personally approached Fifth Shield in serious need of online presence for his little local unit and to improve brand awareness among the clients with fountain and swimming pool construction needs.
With cut-throat competition, he found it difficult to survive without increasing his client base and classic methods of marketing could only take his brand name to a certain extent with little or no success at all. Hence he decided to make an online presence for his Aura Fountains brand through landing high on Google search results.

Supernatural Think Tank - Anna's Thinky Thoughts on 12x07 Rock Never Dies
4 comments:
Hey Anna, sorry I'm so late posting, life got in the way lol! This episode was a mix for me, some I loved and some I was like 'that was strange and odd'!! I loved Dean playing Words with Friends with his mum, so cute! I love Cas and Crowley together, they make me laugh so much. Dean's rant in car about LA was hilarious, most of that came from Jensen apparently! The Lucifer plot, I'm sorry I'm just not feeling it. Lucifer is a whiny brat, so daddy didn't stay and hold your hand, get over it! On the plus side Dean and Sam in rock star mode, hell yeah!! Dean in leather biker jacket, is it hot in here,lol!! Sam's speech at the end was heartbreaking for sure, but I can't keep from thinking that we're going to get a BMOL team up with Sam! I think there will be a disagreement between the boys on how to deal with Lucifer and Dean will do his thing and Sam with the BMOL!! I hope I'm wrong as I've loved the boys being on the same page. Until next time, ciao!! :)ReplyDelete
I don't I haven't really gotten that kind of vibe. Sam and Dean seem to be anti bmol at the moment and the boys being of the more empathetic nature, it seems to me that they both would be more friction than not with them. As of the moment, given that I can't see Mary as a permanent fixture, I'm inclined to think that she will be ending up making the sacrifice for her children....given that she in essence started it all....I just keep going back to her "unfinished business" and the fact that she most likely remembers all of it...I do hope that the Lucifer story will conclude sooner rather than later, and I kind of hope that it's the BMOL's that become the big bad the boys have to deal with....the human monster is much more dangerous and interesting I think than angels and demons, who I think have had their run of it.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for reading....til tomorrow.....
I agree with most of your thoughts, and I love the idea that Mary will save Sam from having to do another horrible thing for humanity. That would be a gift for Dean if Sam is safe, I just hope that doesn't mean that something terrible happens to Mary. I wouldn't think that the show would go that far, because Sam would feel so guilty afterwards. Mary going back to Heaven would not be a bad thing for her. I didn't enjoy Springfield at all, or his daddy issues at the end, but it is really hard to top Mark P. Even in his brief scenes in the temp cage last season, he was scary and funny. He's the best. Thanks for your positive thoughts, Anna.ReplyDelete
I think it might depend on how they go about it. If Mary's unfinished business has always been about protecting her children, then concluding that business now would be her choice. I know she said she had gone after the werewolf because they had a long history. Then she brought up unfinished business and at this point Dean was born. I can see her unfinished business being going after particular monsters/demons that would be a threat to her family...if we assume that the history including one of the campbells or mary herself killing that particular werewolf's pack/ family member, then her hunting it down would make sense. Given that we now know that Mary does have all of her memories regarding how she died, and most likely all of her memories previous to that night, it would make sense that Mary would still want to complete the job she started....especially after finding out that Lucifer possessed Sam. I always wonder if that journal contained info that the boys just didn't realize the true meaning of. John had admitted to YED that he knew about Sam and all the other psychic children for "some time"....I wonder if he would've put that in the journal in such a way that the boys wouldn't recognize....Mary though...given what she knows, she actually might. I just think Mary is doing more than getting used to being back...I have a feeling that Billie might even be aware of it...I think Mary will meet up with Billie again...just my opinion of course, but I believe it will be of her own choice, and after she's done what she needs to do for her kids.ReplyDelete
