Los Angeles is a city that should not exist. No desert was meant to hold an urban hub of this size. As its fifteen year (we may as well call it permanent) state of drought confirms, it is a non-location, a place that that manages to weirdly persist due to simple inertia over sustainability. The wildfires that grow in size and intensity every season, ever-encroaching into La-La Land, are not only general reminders of a planet that will soon be too warm to contain the current civilization; they feel like deep time retching up a virus contracted long ago. That it is also where the United States manufactures its ego, its own version of cultural relevance, is only too appropriate, as the recent burning of Malibu makes so very clear.
To say that humanity is alienated isn't just to state the painfully obvious. It is to describe a truth that applies so thoroughly, and to everything in human existence, that it almost describes nothing. We are alienated from ourselves, each other, our labor, our human-made and natural environments. We are, as Marx observed, not ourselves when we work. And as the logic of work as exploitation insinuates itself deeper into all aspects of life, we wonder, can we ever truly be ourselves?

Eastern Europe: Are you ready for a Health Revolution ?
While the increasing prevalence of obesity in Eastern Europe is slowing its trajectory, it is concerning is that 58% of Eastern Europeans ARE overweight, but only 50% of them THINK they are and fewer still 45% are ACTIVELY trying to lose weight. These figures are very different to other regions, who are more conscious of the obesity issue and are actively doing something about it. Raising awareness and converting that awareness into action is pivotal for Eastern Europe.
Eastern European consumers are becoming more discerning about food choices. Many are willing to pay more for products that don't contain undesirable ingredients and seek out local, natural organic alternatives where possible to help them make healthier food choices.
As consumers become more aware of and attuned to the consequences of their food choices, they are paying more attention to nutritional labels. Almost three in four East European consumers say they want to know everything that is going into their food.
The European Commission introduced mandatory nutritional labelling for all member states in December 2016 requiring specification of fats, carbohydrates, sugars, protein and salt amounts to be added to the label in the "field of vision" – usually on the back of pack. Front of pack labelling remains voluntary. It is this variation across the broader region, where some countries outside of the European Union have minimal or no labelling requirements that makes implementation difficult to achieve and places a significant burden on cross border marketing. This can be a major consideration when companies are planning to enter new markets or manufacture regional products.
It is widely recognised that tackling obesity is not a simple task but one that requires a holistic approach across consumers, governments and businesses.
In January 2016, the Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity (ECHO) presented its recommendations to the World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General on which approaches and combinations of interventions would be most effective in tackling childhood and adolescent obesity in different contexts around the world.
While the sugar tax (a tax imposed on companies manufacturing products with high sugar content) has been around in some countries for a number of years, typical views on the rate at which companies should be taxed are shifting to a much higher percentage. Health taxes are not new in Europe where early adopters like Denmark and France imposed health taxes at around 3%, and in Hungary where the average price of soda increase by 10%. But in many European markets discussions are taking place in parliaments such as Spain and Portugal and in the UK and Ireland where significantly higher taxes are in the realms of 19%. In other markets around the world like South Africa and India, taxes as high as 20 and 40% are being considered.
The introduction of such wide-sweeping health regulations and legislature cannot be ignored. Governments are waking up to the true underlying cost of obesity-related disease on their healthcare budgets and medical infrastructure, and are implementing a host of health initiatives, from sugar taxes and new product labelling laws to food education in the classroom.
Resize and restrict: Downsized packaging and communicate that products should only be consumed on an occasional basis or as a treat.
Reformulate the recipe: Reduce products' sugar/fat/salt content.
Diversify the range: Shift offerings away from high sugar/fat products and focus advertising on healthier range offerings in their portfolio.
Fight for the cause: Total refocus on create functional or fortified product ranges which aid in the prevention of obesity and chronic disease.
In the wake of this recent wave of new "health-oriented" marketing, consumer scepticism and demand for authenticity from brands has never been higher. Across Eastern Europe, scepticism remains high with more than three in five (63%) believing health claims are just a way for food and beverage companies to charge more for their products. Authenticity is key and a noticeable trend is evident with some big players investing in small, health focused start-up companies to tap into both niche and emerging trends and channel health know how.
With heightening awareness of the burden obesity places on social and financial health systems, Eastern Europe is already on the cusp of a health revolution. Now it's up to manufacturers, businesses and governments to work together to support and drive the revolution forward.
If you want to continue the dialogue about the health revolution please contact your local Nielsen client service team.


This beautiful silk Kimono jacket has been hand-made in Japan using centuries-old manufacturing techniques and valuable fabrics. Want to know why its special? The outer fabric has a hand-tied Shibori batik finish which would have taken days upon days to complete. In fact, Japanese shibori is one of the most labour intensive ways to produce fabric, ever. This unique piece of wearable art is easily styled with denim and a simple t-shirt for a modern look. Or you could hang it on the wall - as actual art. There's really only one of these in the entire world!
*Only one Kimono available in each style. You will receive the exact floral pink Kimono jacket pictured.


A drought, searing heat, and a house sitter who really did not embrace the concept of "Please water every day" will combine to show you which herbs in your garden are tough warriors, and which simply cannot keep up the fight. Bye bye, lavender, it's been a good two years. Godspeed, mint. Et tu, oregano?
But basil fights on like the weed that it probably is, especially the Thai variety. It's a bit odd, this, because once basil gets picked, it's among the most delicate divas in the fridge, fading soon without all sorts of care and handling with damp towels, the botanical equivalent of Van Halen's M&M rider.
Okay so Bankokamole has some recognizable elements, like the avocados, cilantro and lime. But then it gets a little off the hook with some fish sauce and ginger, a whole new Southeast Asia thing happening right there in your bowl.
First you mix up your lime, zest and fish sauce. If you're not in the microplane mood, go ahead and chop that ginger and garlic super fine. Next comes the avocado. From here you need to start adjusting to taste, both in terms of salt and acidity, and once your herbs are chopped and added, the chile.
Now, you have a little time to get showered and dressed for dinner, go outside and water the rest of your plants or write some starchy email to your boss about the sorts of things you will or will not accomplish during the month of August. Or just wait. The flavors need a bit of time to marry. About 20 minutes later, it's chips and a beer (or nice cold lemonade) time, hopefully on the deck, if it's not too damn hot, or buggy. Lord fall, please come.
The only thing I must note is the yield here is not huge. My Texan husband, who does not weigh in on much in the kitchen, did offer, "Well of course you need like five avocados for guacamole." We took this as an appetizer to a dinner for five and it was just enough. If you've got more mouths, please double.
Yes, please w/Red Stripes. Awesome profile pic, hardlikearmour!
excellent choice of beer for this.
This sounds wonderful... just wondering where the "G" in Bangkok went, though.
LOL. Just got lost with my inept world geographic spelling!
:-) No matter, this is definitely on my list to make this weekend!
Yay! Thanks for spotlighting my recipe & my alligator cake (made for my friends' annual crawfish boil). If you haven't already done it, a thai basil infused simple syrup would be a great way to use up some of your abundance.
i made a pesto and that was that. but more is coming back. i love basil ss.
We're always trying new ways to enjoy avocados, since we grow them on our family farm. We love Thai food too, so we'll defiinitely put this guacamole on our "must try" list!
I was wondering if it was a cake or a real reptile! This bankokamole looks really good.
it is both! have a nice day!
Love the guac - and that profile picture - did you know that is a CAKE and that Hardlikearmour BAKED IT? She is a cake magician and artist. Amazing.

Jets offensive linemen had just offered a suggestion to their rookie quarterback early during prep week for the Colts. The big guys in the trenches believed that the whole unit might be better served if Darnold rolled into his cadence rather than hold it to safeguard against a false start in a particular scenario.
Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the offensive line meeting room.
So, they practiced the altered version that they had already been using in a different situation in the playbook. It paid off on game day.
Darnold's quick, hard count on 1st down from the Colts 37-yard line with 5:17 left in the game that drew defensive end Jabaal Sheard offsides has already been forgotten by most observers, but it resonates with the Jets offensive linemen. It's the latest example that this young quarterback has a chance to be special.
Great leaders are also great listeners.
Darnold's willingness to have an open dialogue with teammates to make smart adjustments is an underplayed yet critical element to the Jets' success.
The Education of Sam Darnold goes far beyond completions, touchdowns and passing yards. Special quarterbacks are able to have a free-flowing exchange of ideas for the greater good. No one person's opinion is any less important than the other. Leaning on more experienced teammates, regardless of position, is invaluable and incredibly smart.
On the surface, that offsides penalty looked like any other offsides penalty. But Darnold and the guys paid to protect him knew it was pretty cool.
So is stepping out of your comfort zone.
Darnold is the modern-day Beaver — genuine, respectful and wholesome as apple pie. NFL Films captured him politely asking someone on the Jets sideline to turn down the heat on the bench last week for Pete's sake. (He inadvertently asked the team chiropractor rather than an equipment guy).
But his job now requires him to have a more assertive edge.
Commanding the huddle is part and parcel of the gig. It's his huddle. It's his offense.
So, he's learning to be firm with older teammates, making sure that he's their E.F. Hutton. When he speaks, the other 10 guys in the huddle need to listen.
Left tackle Kelvin Beachum knows what a great leader in the huddle is supposed to look and sound like. He spent four years with future Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger, who had fun in the huddle, but held you accountable if you screwed up on a play that you had no business screwing up.
Beachum has started to see similar, encouraging traits in the huddle from his new signal caller.
Darnold has grown so much from his final days at USC to his first few games in the NFL in that respect.
He's taking charge. The F-bombs captured by NFL Films in the fourth quarter of last week's win over the Colts might not make Mom happy, but that's the Sam that his teammates, frankly, can't get enough of.
The Jets are rallying around this 21-year-old kid from Southern California for so many reasons. His composure in pressure situations must be innate, because it's highly unusual for someone so young to be so collected amid chaos.
Teammates have lauded Darnold's ability to clearly provide a snapshot of any scenario to make sure nobody is caught napping. He has the situational awareness of a 10-year veteran.
Darnold smartly conveyed two-minute drill scenarios in the huddle in the waning seconds of the first half last week. Basic reminders like getting out of bounds or hustling back to the line of scrimmage if the ball is still in play to set up a field goal are invaluable in those intense moments.
Darnold is evolving, but he remains true to who he's always been.
Players can spot B.S. a mile away. Darnold's authenticity and flexibility make people gravitate toward him.
Darnold's willingness to lead – and listen – will help him become the player he's destined to be here.

At this point I don't know what the 2nd TRANSACTION is waiting for.
The 1st transaction is waiting for a lock (page no 32942) which is hold by the 2nd transaction. That's clear.
But the 2nd transaction is waiting for a lock (page no 32941) which is not hold by anyone.
Or if the 2 locks are the same (or overlaps) than it is the same transaction that currently holds the lock. I don't understand it well enough so it would be great if someone could explain to me how this deadlock could happen and how the UPDATE should be modified to prevent future deadlocks like this.

Lovely quick-sew gifts to make for daughters, sisters, moms, friends, teachers, hostesses or even yourself! Consider adding a layer of clear plastic to the lining if yours are going to see some heavy-duty makeup use.
And as with anything handmade, finishing details are the icing on the cake and can be whatever you want them to be. A few simple ideas are shown in the photos here, but you can be creative with patchwork, applique, embroidery, etc.
NOTE: Plastic zippers can be longer and trimmed to fit.
Optional: Assorted ribbons, trim, lace, labels, buttons, charms, etc. for embellishments, three 5" lengths of 1/8" wide ribbon for zipper pulls.


With a lot of luck and a little patience I was able to take some video of an American Bittern on October 30 at Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park. I placed a 20-second video clip of the bittern on my web site (www.floridabirds.net). Follow the link that says "Video Downloads." There you will find instructions on how to play the video over the internet using Windows Media Player. You will also find a few other short videos for downloading, including one of the Slaty-backed Gull in Key West.


What makes you feel stuck? Is it monotony? Tackling the same thing day after day?
A certain amount of predictability is fantastic, particularly when the consistency leads to things like food on the table, dependable sleep, and healthy relationships.
But no one really wants to live on The Truman Show; bland and generic isn't very satisfying. Still, the lure of what's comfortable is mighty strong.
In the short-term, life feels easy when we stick with what we know. When we lean into the familiar, when we pick up our feet and float downstream.
Go with the flow. Stick with the groove. Dance with the one that brung ya.
Don't run from your discomfort.
Consider why you are uncomfortable. Then, and only then, will you start searching for different ways and truer answers.

Beast who preyed on young girls is jailed for four years
A paedophile who committed a catalogue of horrific offences against young Cumbernauld and Kilsyth girls has been jailed for four years.
British Aerospace engineer John Reid, 31, showed no emotion as he sat in the dock at Airdrie Sheriff Court on Friday.
Jailing him, Sheriff Morag Galbraith said: "These offences were aggravated as they were committed in front of other children. I will impose a three years extended sentence upon your release when you will be on licence."
Prosecutor Gordon Crawford last month accepted Reid's plea to 16 out of 37 sex related offences that he was originally charged with.
Depute Fiscal Crawford said: "The case relates to a pattern concerning young girls aged between 10 and 13, where he contacted them through social media sites, sent them indecent images, met up with them and sexual activity took place."
Reid, a bachelor, of Bathgate, West Lothian, is presently suspended by his employers.
The court heard the harrowing details of offences he committed on various occasions between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015 at a car park at Cumbernauld train station, ASDA car park, Cumbernauld, and other parts of the town and surrounding areas.
Mr Crawford said: "He added a girl who was aged between 11 and 12 at the time, to social media sites Snapchat and Facebook. He told her to put on a skirt and high heels, told her he would pay her money and that he was a paedophile.
"He sent her an indecent picture of himself. She met him at Cumbernauld train station car park in the company of two of her friends. They also met at ASDA Cumbernauld and at a bingo hall in the town.
"On each occasion he sat in the car performing a sex act on himself. On each occasion he gave the children cigarettes and money.
"The next offences happened between April 1 and May 31, 2015. He added another girl to Snapchat, who was 12-years-old at the time and asked her to send pictures of her naked, which she didn't do.
"He then sent her indecent pictures of himself as well as indecent messages of a sexual nature. She met up with him and he gave her and her friends £20 and cigarettes to share."
The court heard his next victim was a ten-year-old girl from Cumbernauld, who he added to Snapchat and Facebook.
Mr Crawford said: "He wrote messages to her telling her she was 'beautiful' and asking her to dress up in a skirt and high heels, and caused her to look at a sexual image of himself he sent her by social media.
"He then engaged in sexual activity with a 12-year-old girl from Kilsyth, again adding her to his Facebook account.
"She did not know the previous victims. He made a video call to her of him lying on his bed performing a sexual act on himself.
"She met Reid in Kilsyth on May 2, this year, but took fright and ran off. He followed her, but she bumped into a woman out walking her dog and told her what had happened. The girl, when she went home, told everything to her mother."
Reid's next victim was a 13-year-old girl, also from Kilsyth, again contacted through Snapchat and Facebook. She told him she was 14, and he wrote messages of a sexual nature to her.
These two incidents happened between April 29 and May 2, 2016.
As a result of the meeting with the first girl in Kilsyth, police got a partial number of his car registration plate and he was traced through both that and his Facebook account. On May 4, he was detained and arrested for breach of bail.
Mr Crawford said: "He was originally arrested on breach of bail as part of the conditions were that he did not communicate with any persons over he internet, other than for work purposes or with family members, and have no unsupervised contact with any child under-16."
Reid had three computers at home, all of which were seized. They revealed almost 500 indecent images, some of the worst category, of boys and girls aged eight to 14.
Reid pled guilty to taking or permitting to be taken, or made, indecent images of children at his home between January 8, 2011 and March 19, 2014.
Defence counsel Shelagh McCall QC said: "He was acquitted previously by an English court of a serious sexual offence.
"He is not a man in complete denial of what has caused this type of offending. He has been extremely candid that his conversations with these girls is sexually arousing for him."
Reid was put on the Sex Offenders' Register for an indefinite period.
Detective Inspector Sarah Taylor, of Police Scotland's National Child Abuse Investigation Unit, senior investigating officer, said: "Reid is a very dangerous man who contacted a number of young girls for his own sexual gratification.
"He was fully aware that the young girls he was contacting and coercing into sending intimate photos of themselves were children.
"Police Scotland will proactively use advancements in technology, digital media and the internet to investigate online abuse working in partnership with national and international partners, including cyber-crime experts and other law enforcement agencies.
"We have a full range of investigative tools and techniques at our disposal in order to identify and investigate those who exploit computer networks to sexually abuse children and young people."

Theresa May has backed herself into a corner where she has to say something. The gesture may be as meaningless as throwing out a diplomat or two. It might be a ban on the England team attending the World Cup. Neither will achieve very much. There is one thing that would.
The fact is that the UK is the hub of the world's largest tax haven network. And in many ways, as far as Russian dirty money is concerned, the UK is also the weakest link in that network.
The further fact is that there is almost nowhere on the planet where it is now easier than the UK to form a company. It can be done online. No signatures are required. No proof of identity need be given. No beneficial ownership need be declared. No proof that those named as directors are really running the show is required. The UK provides the dream location for the money launderer seeking to incorporate.
And it gets worse. Latest data (I will publish it soon) shows that almost 200,000 companies a year are struck off the UK company register each year without ever filing a set of accounts. An great many more are struck off with their accounts overdue for filing and so with only out of date information being available. You can be sure that in the former case HMRC have also never seen a corporation tax return. And, of course, no statement of beneficial ownership will have been filed.
The result is that for all practical purposes the UK provides perfect cover for hiding money laundering.
The process is easy. Form a company. Get a bank account. Do a transaction. Apply to the Regsitrar of Companies to have the company struck off. Say the company has never traded. They agree. HMRC knows nothing at all and so do not object. And the company has gone for good leaving not a trace of what it has ever done.
Then repeat the process as often as is desired.
And that, I am quite sure, is happening day in and day out. Let's also not beat about the bush: the evidence is that some of this is Russian money.
So what to do? Simple. Close the loopholes.
First require that company formation always requires proof of the beneficial ownership of all holdings of more than 10% or it does not happen.
Require that all directors prove their identities with Companies House or they cannot hold office.
Require that every company has a UK resident director.
the company commits money laudnering offences.
Account balances at the company's accounting reference date.
This data is readily available as are the systems to report it: they are just not used.
Is that draconian? I suggest not. All it says is that the obligations of directorship must be taken seriously.
And it says that cheating companies undermine the economy as well as assist tax laundering.
But in the process it will also stop those aiding and abetting those using UK companies for nefarious purposes, which I strongly suspect many are.
This is a curse of our economy that needs to end.
And it may hit Russian money laundering hard.

SOLD Selling my Avia II Guide to Home Theater Calibration Disk with Color Filters for $15.00 shipped. Ovation Multimedia Avia II HDTV Calibration DVD All-inclusive tutorial and home theater calibration tool in NTSC format More than 200 test patterns to achieve superior video quality Nearly 100 audio tones for 5.1 and 6.1 channels, plus Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus Basic / advanced signals allow the user to select the pattern or tone needed Tutorials on various home theater components, speaker types, connections, and more The disc is structured into multiple chapters of tutorial and setup information, followed by a chapter filled with advanced video and audio test signals. A bonus section contains a video montage of down-converted high-definition live-action material selected for critical evaluation of screen setup. Basic Test Patterns The basic video test signals can be used without test equipment and require only the use of color filters, which are supplied. While, ideally, an inexpensive sound-lever meter should be used with many of the audio test signals, in most systems you can get by using just your ears as the test instrument. Easy-to-navigate menu access is provided to all signals and instructional materials. Avia II Advanced Video Test Patterns Containing a generous subset of the exhaustive set of video setup, calibration, and evaluation signals from Ovation Multimedia`s Avia Pro, the Avia II Advanced Video Test Pattern section contains most of the Avia Pro patterns that can be usefully utilized without video test equipment. Special emphasis was placed on evaluating and adjusting widescreen and newer technology, fixed panel display technologies such as LCD, DLP, LCOS, SXRD, and Plasma. Newly introduced from the first Avia disc are motion tests, including several for player/screen behavior with mixed progressive/interlaced signals and for color-wheel artifacts with color-sequential displays (mainly DLP). Gamma, an extremely important charactersitic for flat-panel technologies, can be estimated by Avia II tests. Reference Level Accuracy and Resolution Like the signals in Avia Pro, AVIA II achieves reference-quality signal accuracy by starting as directly digitally generated 480P 2/3 pull-down, 4:4:4 test signals in native widescreen DVD resolution. This avoided any signal level shifts or resolution changes which might have occurred with analog signal acquisition or HDTV downconversion. The pattern masters were compressed with custom MPEG2 encoders whose signal accuracy and quality were optimized through close collaboration between Ovation and the encoder manufacturer. One Size Doesn`t Fit All Sometimes, commonly available test patterns are not ideal. AVIA II includes variations of patterns to allow selection of one just right for the job. Traditional color-bar adjustment, for instance, are often hampered in consumer sets by screen overscan. The primary color-bars test pattern in Avia II is windowboxed so that no color bar is cut off or partially visible. And instead of only being able to check black level stability at one APL, the AVIA II user can select the APL using the freeze frame capabilities of a DVD player.


April 8, 2018 Amy P.
I've had migraines for years now. I got my first migraine between the first and second trimester of my first pregnancy, and I asked my husband to take me to the ER. I had no idea what was happening. I've struggled with migraines ever since.
For years, I tried medications, ice packs, dark rooms and managing my triggers to stop the migraines from coming on at all.
Some of this worked; some of it didn't. It was always random, though. What worked one day wouldn't work the next. There were nights of nothing but a black room, not even a sliver of light from under the door was manageable for my aching head. I felt nauseous and weak.
My migraines have patterns, like many women I know. They come on during my period more often than not. They're triggered by fluorescent lights, rendering shopping malls all but impossible for me. They can be brought on by certain foods or smells, but even that seems to shift with the winds. Red wine was a no-go for a few years but now doesn't bother me at all.
I have been prescribed many medications and tried over-the-counter drugs. The only drug that ever worked was three Motrin at the first glimmer of a migraine. That worked 50% of the time, but when it didn't work, I was stuck. Nothing but sleep would help. Sometimes even that wouldn't do the trick, and I once had a migraine for an entire week.
Then, when I moved here to NC, my new PA offered to prescribe me what she uses. I shrugged, said I'd try it and had zero hope it would work.
Since I've been using this medication, if I take the pill before the migraine is full-blown, it stops it. An hour after taking the pill, the pain is gone.
If I wait until the migraine is in full-swing, the medication doesn't work.
I'll take it. I feel like my life isn't constantly about to be derailed by a migraine, like I have a little tool in my toolbox that really does work rather than just an empty box full of pipe dreams.
My point isn't to send anyone rushing out for Rizatriptan or any other medication, per se, but to say that if you've tried several options and nothing has worked, keep trying. I don't care whether it's natural, herbal, pharmacological....keep trying. It's worth it.
1. Sleep - if I don't get enough sleep for more than 2 nights, I'll get a migraine. Lack of sleep is probably the biggest health hazard in my life because it leads to all sorts of other symptoms, which turn into all sorts of other issues. Sleep, sleep, sleep.
2. Coffee Ice Cream - a pharmacist told me about this once, and I tried it out of sheer desperation. It works. It doesn't work every single time, but if I feel that shimmering of a migraine and I eat a few bites of coffee ice cream, it often helps ward it off. Coffee alone doesn't do it, which is probably placebo effect and my desire to eat ice cream any way I can get it.
3. Ice Pack - for years I ignored the advice of putting an ice pack to my head. I'd try it once the migraine was already in full-swing, and no, that didn't work. But an ice pack in the beginning, with some Motrin and a few bites of coffee ice cream often works to keep a migraine at bay.
4. Nap - a little sleep, sometimes just a half-hour, often resets my head. I don't nap normally, but if I can get a nap in when a migraine starts, it will often relax my muscles enough to break through.
5. Lighting - I avoid fluorescent light like the plague. Cheap shopping malls with flickering overhead lights and a low hum of energy are a no-go. My husband once took me to an outlet mall, and it was curtains for me. Never again.
6. Music - I notice with migraines a song will often get stuck in my head (ear worm), so if I'm feeling tight in my head, I'll listen to music without lyrics or shut the music off. I have no idea why this happens, but a looping song can often be a sign a migraine is hovering.
7. Eat - I can often go for a while without food if I'm busy, running errands or engaged in some fascinating activity. Then, when 2:00 hits and I'm beyond hungry (I literally don't feel hungry anymore), I can feel the shimmering of a migraine. If I eat immediately, it can help. Mostly, though, I'm sunk. I now eat at much more regular intervals and try to get protein and a lot of fat into my diet. That seems to help.
I feel for every person who's ever had a migraine and who might be struggling with them now. I think, based on no evidence or data at all, that they're mostly hormone driven. I also think doctors have absolutely no idea what to do about hormones. Until someone figures that out, I'll take the Rizatriptan when I need it and use the tips above to avoid migraines as best I can. I'm not a huge fan of medication, but I'm grateful in these instances that it's available, that I have health insurance to cover it and that I don't have to worry that my entire afternoon will be derailed by a monster headache.
Anyone with other migraine-avoiding tips on hand...send them this way!

Elizabeth Newman: The origin of life
November 2012 by Eve Sullivan
In a country in which the dominant culture has a limited pre-history in terms of art and artefacts, one strategy is to recreate these models for ourselves. The culture of the 'second degree', as Paul Taylor put it, hangs on this persistent return to the centre or source of creative endeavour as always elsewhere or in a virtual space. Hence, the ground zero of the monochrome, visited again and again and again by so many Australian artists.
The life of forms is clearly not reducible to the more critical agendas of the 1980s. Even if you take to heart the end game of art and our post-colonial situation there is always something more desirous in this act of reclaiming or making one's own mark.
This is the compelling moment, in a nutshell, of the art of Elizabeth Newman. In her recent body of work on display in the Monash University Museum of Art, this virtual space of art is made concrete in a variety of abstract propositions.
As pristine cut-out fields of colour—this one in green, that one in red … —these canvases are like the colour monochromes of Yves Klein's first monochrome statements on paper made palpable as textured floating fields that you touch with the eyes. Or, take these assemblages, incorporating cut-out fabrics like Rauschenberg's veils, anchored and muddied with paint. And this one, stretched over oddly assembled frame armatures to recreate the overall manifestations of painting burst out of the frame in line with those old Greenbergian restrictions.
The elephant in the room is the found object of a piece of old pipe, with attached masonry, bulbous like the Willendorf Venus. As both vessel and void, The origin of life (2012) doubles Courbet's most famously explicit painting. Who would have thought that a Melbourne building site could reveal such riches? Art history in the hands of Newman is no sterile masterpiece but one that lives and breathes, stripped of old hierarchies, brought down to size, and created with loving attention to the detail of creation and selective dependencies. In her own way, she has thus brought into being something quietly personal and original.
'The true collector looks for the work that is unfinished' is a series of commissioned works by Elizabeth Newman, included in Artists' proof #1, Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne, 4 October – 15 December 2012.

Before I get on with the post... In case you hadn't heard, the LPGA has named the new sponsor for their first major of the year, formerly called the Kraft Nabisco Championship. It will now be known as the ANA Inspiration, will be sponsored by All Nippon Airways (one of Japan's largest airline companies, which now becomes the official airline of the LPGA), and will still be played at the same course in Rancho Mirage CA. You can read more details in this article from The Desert Sun.
It's finally here. It may be a bit anticlimactic -- after all, Rory pretty much had the Race to Dubai locked up a couple of weeks ago -- but there's still a trophy, some big bucks, and serious bragging rights up for grabs at the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.
Most of the big names are there, so you'll get to see many of your favorite players from around the world. Everybody from Rory and Henrik and Justin to Lee Westwood and "the Most Interesting Golfer in the World" is teeing it up. According to europeantour.com, there are 21 different countries represented.
There are only two Americans there, but both are Tour winners -- David Lipsky won the Omega European Masters earlier this year, and of course Brooks Koepka won the Turkish Airlines Open just this past week. (Bear in mind that only 29 of the 60 players in the field won this year, so that's saying something.) Koepka is also one of the only two rookies to make the event.

Metal Sucks Judge to Order Domestic Monitoring for Josh Homme (Queens... Video: Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee Fall Down Go Boom

Judge to Order Domestic Monitoring for Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and His Wife, Brody Dalle
October 15th, 2021 at 10:29am
Vince Neilstein
Last we heard of the turbulent domestic battle between Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and his wife, The Distillers' frontwoman Brody Dalle, Dalle had filed for restraining orders against Homme on behalf of the couple's ten-year-old son Orrin and five-year-old son Wolf. The emergency requests for restraining orders were twice denied by judges in two separate districts, although both were set for future hearings. The couple's oldest child, Camille, 15, was granted her own restraining order against her dad a few days later.
Homme and Dalle were again in court on Wednesday, October 13, where Homme accused Dalle of violating their October 2020 custody agreement by not allowing him to see their kids since August 26. According to Rolling Stone, Homme claims Dalle's actions are "alienating" the children from him, and he wants her to face fines and either community service or jail time.
Dalle, meanwhile, alleges that Homme subjects the children to physical abuse, verbal harassment and generally puts them in danger. In the previously denied emergency restraining order, Orrin alleged that his father drinks in the car while driving the kids around; that there was a recent incident where Homme grabbed his private parts; that Homme engages in physical abuse such as flicking Orrin's ears, hitting his head, poking his chest and throwing things at him; and that Homme calls Orrin fat and makes threats against Dalle's current boyfriend.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Lawrence Riff indicated on Wednesday that he was leaning towards appointing around-the-clock monitoring in each parent's home beginning today, October 15, the next time Homme is scheduled to have custody of his two sons. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for this morning, Friday, October 15.
Dalle's lawyer, Doreen Olson, said after the Wednesday hearing, "Her pleadings speak for themselves in the sense that she's expressed how the children feel. We just want the children to be healthy. We want the children to be helped."
Dalle herself told Rolling Stone, "That's all I'm asking for, that my kids are safe. We have to protect kids. We should always protect kids."
Homme added, "The hardest job in the world is to be a mom, but dads are important too. I'd wade through anything for my kids, even this."
Homme and Dalle separated in November 2019 and divorced a month later. They had been together since 2005.

You remember him as linebacker Colin Allred, the 6-1 bruiser who played his entire five-year NFL career with the Titans from 2006-2010.
Now you can call him Congressman Allred.
Allred, whom the Titans signed as an undrafted free agent out of Baylor in 2006, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday. The 35-year-old Democrat knocked off Pete Sessions, a Republican who had served in Congress since 1997, in Texas' 32nd congressional district.
This victory would not have been made possible without you. This people-powered campaign has made history tonight and North Texans made their voice heard. Now the real work begins. Thank you North Texas! #TX32
— Colin Allred (@ColinAllredTX) November 7, 2018
A former Housing and Urban Development Department official who pursued a career in law after his football days, Allred played in 32 games for the Titans and had 46 tackles. He focused his campaign on healthcare, education and improving the immigration system.
The Titans, fresh off a 28-14 season-saver of a win against the Cowboys on "Monday Night Football," just keep winning in Texas.

The Anglican Communion Office is the main support body for the Anglican Communion across the globe.
The Anglican Communion is served by four "instruments of communion" – all of which are provided for in some way administratively by the Anglican Communion office. These are:
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd Justin Welby: The Anglican Communion Office liaises closely with his office at Lambeth Palace.
The Primates Meeting: the primates from around the Communion meet regularly, chaired by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The Anglican Consultative Council: this body was
established in 1968 and meets every three years to develop Anglican policies. It advises, reviews and implements Anglican matters. The Anglican Communion Office acts as its permanent secretariat.
The Lambeth Conference: For the past 12 months the Anglican Communion Office has been particularly focused on the forthcoming Lambeth Conference – the one gathering every 10 years of the Communion. It will be held this summer in Canterbury.
The office is led by the Communion's secretary general, Dr Josiah Idowu-Fearon, and a team of more than 20 other experts in issues such as mission, ecumenism, gender justice and theological education.
The Anglican Communtion Office mission statement says:
"The Anglican Communion Office supports the institutional life of the Communion and serves it 38 provinces in 165 countries by:
Providing the administrative support for Communion meetings and implementing their decisions
Nurturing relations and learning among the churches of the Communion to facilitate their growth through intentional discipleship and the living out of our shared Five Marks of Mission
Enabling the Communion to have a distinctive voice in dialogues with other Christian traditions, discussions with other faiths and engagement with United Nations bodies
Building partnerships internationally to work for justice, peace and sustainable development and give a voice to the voiceless and the oppressed.
In all this, it seeks to honour and glorify Jesus Christ as Lord".
Given the Office's keen interest in and commitment to ecumenism, there are strong links with the Anglican Centre in Rome. This is further reinforced by the presence of the Office's chief operating officer, David White, on the governing body of the Anglican Centre. The current chair of the Anglican Consultative Council, the Most Revd Dr Paul Kwong, is also on the governing body of the Anglican Centre.
The Anglican Communion Office is based at St Andrew's House in London. While much of the Communion's work is conducted in English, other languages, especially in Africa are used and the Communion Office is now offering its news service in Spanish and French to reflect this.

Rachid Boujedra, Auto-Fiction, and the Interplay of the Aesthetic and Personal
Khedidja Chergui Assistant teacher in civilization and literature
Keywords: auto-fiction, female identity, loyalties, Rachid Boujedra, writer intuitions
Analyzing the female character in Rachid Boujedra's select narratives and with insights from both the sociology of gender theories and the narrative texts, this paper reflects on how literary portrayals of female characters might be subject to personal standards of evaluation while being responsive to social norms and expectations questioning whether writers can keep loyal to their artistic objectivity while writing women. With a particular emphasis on the Boujedra's obsession with the Motherly figure in his narratives, this paper considers in what ways personal experiences intervene to shape the writer's image of women in his society. Taking the Algerian society as a frame of reflection, the present paper articulates the interplay of the aesthetic and personal dimensions of Boujedra's auto- fictional narratives pointing out that literary representations of female characters in male narratives do often oscillate between social expectations of women roles and the writer's personal experiences.

America's Swamp: the Historical Everglades Project: Governor Broward
Interest in draining and "reclaiming" land in the Everglades began as early as the 1880s, but major drainage activities were not undertaken until the first two decades of the 20th century. Two Florida Governors, William Sherman Jennings and Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, would serve as the primary designers and spokespersons for the draining of the Everglades. In 1904 Governor Broward famously promised to create an "Empire of the Everglades." Of course, in fulfilling this promise the state would have to destroy the ecological systems by dredging, creating canals, and altering the flow of water in the world's most famed wetlands. Alarmed at the potential loss of the Everglades several early conservationists, including Florida's May Mann Jennings, began pushing for the preservation of portions of the Everglades.
The drainage work started by Governors Jennings and Broward was of great interest internationally, and soon real estate dealers and settlers from around the world rushed in to profit from the project. The land sales boom in South Florida at the start of the 1920s was almost unprecedented in the history of the world. So was the rapidity with which it had collapsed by the end of the decade. Two catastrophic hurricanes in 1926 and 1928 effectively ended the boom, but many people had already declared the drainage program a bust. By the time the Depression began in 1929, sales had ceased and the state was forced to halt drainage and dredging activities.
Each of the six collections provides unique and valuable historical evidence regarding the Everglades in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it is difficult to research early drainage and conservation efforts without consulting these collections. The papers of Governor Broward and Governor Jennings form the nucleus of the project as they were the primary architects for the drainage and reclamation project. Jennings started the project rolling during his term, drumming up widespread support and resolving a myriad of legal issues, primarily pertaining to land claims made by the Flagler and Plant railroads. However, it was Broward who became the driving force for the project. His popularity, his larger-than-life persona, his attention to the smallest details, and his passion for the project, all combined to make him the perfect man to spearhead the effort. The two Progressive Era southern democrats were friends and political allies, and their common goals and accomplishments are documented extensively in their papers.

Foxes Investigate FIFA Henhouse; Blatter Cleared, Bin Hammam and Warner Suspended
FIFA president Sepp Blatter was cleared of wrongdoing by an ethics panel Sunday, paving the way for him to run unopposed for a fourth term in Wednesday's election.
Executive committee members Jack Warner of Trinidad and Tobago and Mohamed bin Hammam of Qatar were both suspended indefinitely in the wake of accusations that they offered $40,000 apiece to roughly 24 federation officials from the Caribbean in exchange for their votes for bin Hammam as FIFA president.
(Bin Hammam withdrew from the election before the panel convened, and he accused Blatter of knowing about and not opposing the alleged payments, hence Blatter's appearance before the panel.)
Neither bin Hammam nor Warner was found guilty in the investigation, but both are suspended from any involvement with soccer until a full judicial inquiry can be staged.
Namibian judge Petrus Damaseb, who oversaw the inquiry, said that the suspensions were necessary to "ensure that the investigation [pending; likely in July] is not compromised."
No word on whether this statement was met by snickers, but plenty of comments at Blatter's Monday press conference in Zurich were. A quick sampler, courtesy of The New York Times:
"I am the president of FIFA; you cannot question me."
(Actual quote. No, really.)
"I believe that the decision which we took for World Cup 2022 was done exactly clean in the same pattern and again I say what I said at beginning of press conference there is no issue for the World Cup 2022."
(This one prompted such a reaction from the assembled media that Blatter followed it up with: "We are not in a bazaar here, we are in FIFA House.")
"Something has changed in FIFA and we will try to change more in future. I cannot change members of my government, it is not up to me."
Blatter pleaded for respect over the reporter grumblings that followed that one, then abruptly pulled the plug on the press conference, walking offstage as journalists tried to lob more questions his way.
Other Juicy Bits From the Fallout
• "Why should I be hanged now, and by whom? The American Chuck Blazer? His American lawyer, John Collins? Give me a break, guys. I will hold my head high to the very end. I am not guilty of a single iota of wrongdoing."
—ExCo member and CONCACAF president Jack Warner, speaking in the Trinidad Parliament on the eve of the ethics panel.
Merriam Webster has announced they will replace their current definition of the word chutzpah with the above.
Also, apparently, the word "American" is an insult in Trinidad and Tobago.
• There were two cases before the panel on Sunday. One involved bribery surrounding Wednesday's FIFA presidential election, the other concerned vote-selling for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids.
In the latter, two FIFA ExCo members were suspended and four were cleared, due to insufficient evidence.
Among the cleared, our favorite was Nicolás Léoz of Paraguay, who (allegedly) requested both an honorary knighthood and that the FA Cup be named after him in exchange for voting for England's 2018 bid.
That is just fantastic, and we applaud the imagination involved.
But there are some logistical issues. How, for example, would both honors be explained? Oh, yeah, this Paraguayan bureaucrat has been integral to English football and culture since way, way back in the day. We need to get that guy knighted, or at the very least, rename our 140-year-old domestic competition in his honor—stat. The British people will instantly recognize both honors as long overdue.
Finally, there was the following sensational statement from Blatter in his column on Inside World Football:
"When a Swiss farmer's neighbor has a cow while he has none, the less fortunate farmer will work twice as hard so that one day he can buy a cow as well. When another farmer, elsewhere, on an island, say, has no cow but his neighbor does, that farmer will kill the neighbor's cow out of sheer malice.
"I'd rather be a Swiss farmer, like it or not."
"On an island, say, …." Sepp—very subtle. Jack Warner lives on an island, doesn't he?
Well, the island farmer was talking tough after Sunday's hearing, promising that a "tsunami" of bad news would be visited upon FIFA in the coming weeks.
In any event, it's on to Wednesday's "election," over the objection of British sports minister Hugh Robertson, who, according to the Times, has called on FIFA to suspend the vote, saying, "I think the process is fast descending into farce."

Only In FIFA: Presidential Candidate To Face Ethics Investigation Just Three Days Before Presidential Election
In light of allegations made yesterday by FIFA Executive Committee member Chuck Blazer (left, apparently relaxing in Margaritaville), soccer's world governing body has called presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam and Vice President Jack Warner to appear before its ethics panel on Sunday.
The FIFA presidential election, between Bin Hammam and incumbent Sepp Blatter, is scheduled for next Wednesday in Zurich.
Bin Hammam and Warner will face allegations of bribery linked to the June 1 election. The fact that the allegations come from Blazer—a fellow FIFA ExCo member and a colleague of Warner's in CONCACAF (he's general secretary; Warner is President)—make them unprecedented.
Warner and Bin Hammam both denied the allegations, with Bin Hammam calling them "little more than a tactic" from his opponent, Blatter.
For more on this, check here, here, and here—and of course, stay tuned. It should be an interesting next several days.

The [email protected] Schools program is our in-school, weekly dialogue program facilitated by students in over 50 South Carolina high schools. It aims to get students talking about today's most pressing, controversial issues in a productive and constructive way.
A free, structured, in-school experience for students to learn essential 21st-century dialogue skills. Our curriculum is developed with our NGO and nonprofit partners backed by Stanford University research.
Our full-day [email protected] conference in Columbia during which high school students get to hear interdisciplinary speakers present ideas worth spreading.
Our program is officially endorsed by the SCEA and Blue Ribbon Schools.
Each school is assigned an Ambassador, a teacher who serves as our point person at the school. They are typically engaged in the community and proponents of TED Talks and change. Over the 3-month cycle of our program, they can expect to devote 1 hour per week to this role. They will also select two students who will receive free online training on how to effectively lead and moderate weekly, in-school conversations, called Idea Dialogues: a program that helps students develop real world skills by dialoguing about social issues.
The cornerstone of our Schools program is Idea Dialogues, through which students learn how to discuss interdisciplinary social issues.
It aims to stimulate students through youth-driven dialogue about important, controversial issues. The topics present several sides of each issue and our dialogue model is backed by Stanford University research.
Each topic is assigned a nonprofit / NGO partner with expertise in the area. They help select TED Talks, discussion questions, and ways to engage students around their topic. Students, in turn, are able to take action around each issue multimodally: for instance, we recognize that not every student may be interested in lobbying to their elected official to advocate for a certain cause, so they might instead choose to undertake a research project.
Each weekly, in-school session is led by two students selected by a school's teacher Ambassador.
A [email protected]bia Ambassador is the teacher that serves as the point person between our Team and their school. They are typically actively involved with the community, passionate about ideas and change, and respond to emails in a timely manner.
Ambassador responsibilities include: promoting the in-school dialogue program, gathering attendee nominations and applications, and selecting attendees via a teacher panel. They will receive abundant support and frequent check-ins from our Team and will be able to communicate with a Team member at all times. An Ambassador should be able to devote 1 hour per week to this until the event through the spring semester.
After the conference, they will be able to receive a certificate for professional development credit.
The first step in the process of joining our Schools Program is assigning a teacher Ambassador; if interested, please send the name and email of the designated teacher to [email protected]!


When we moved into our new (old) house last year, we remodeled the 80's kitchen!
Light cabinets, subway tile back splash, galaxy white counter tops and beautiful gray/blue walls provide the perfect setting for a fresh modern kitchen...and we did it on a smallish budget!
Light and airy with a splash of blue, we remodeled the kitchen with a lot of DIY projects which kept the cost to a minimal!
Here's the BEFORE shot of the kitchen...not a bad kitchen, just not our style.
We were very careful when spending money on this project, doing lots of the work ourselves and shopping with not only the 'look' in mind but also the price tag.
I love your redo, I am hoping to make my kitchen look like this someday. What kind of counters are they?
