Twitter getting prettier with night mode on Android

Should there be one fact nerds barely disagree on, it would be that night modes rules pretty all the way. There is no much factual backing to this yet it exists. I really have this flair for night modes rather personally. And I have even asked a friend if it was possible to in any way have a night mode on Google Docs. So I was very excited when I learnt that Twitter was testing a night mode on Android.

For now yet in its infant days of testing, Twitter has its gloves on working to realize an automatic Night Mode which would be fully presented on the official Android application. Only a handful number of alpha testers can access this as of now, the user interface of would have the functionality of automatically changing to a darker appearance. Of course this would be less harsh on the eyes at night time.

As it appears at the moment, the white interface which is standard is exclusively the only accessible option to users of the Twitter app. Once we have a full release of this upcoming night mode, the user interface would now be made up basically of a dark blue background with white text.

I think this could be the new trend. If you remember some time ago, we announced that night mode was been touted by Apple devices, and now we have Twitter jumping on board.
Not bad at all, I actually wish this bandwagon of “night-moders” gets more robust.

Become a fan on Facebook and us on twitter for our new updates.

Exploration of microbial diversity and evolution through cultivation independent phylogenomics

Our understanding of microbial evolution is largely dependent on available genomic data of diverse organisms. Yet, genome-sequencing efforts have mostly ignored the diverse uncultivable majority in favor of cultivable and sociologically relevant organisms. In this thesis, I have applied and developed cultivation independent methods to explore microbial diversity and obtain genomic data in an unbiased manner. The obtained genomes were then used to study the evolution of mitochondria, Rickettsiales and Haloarchaea.

Metagenomic binning of oceanic samples recovered draft genomes for thirteen novel Alphaproteobacteria-related lineages. Phylogenomics analyses utilizing the improved taxon sample suggested that mitochondria are not related to Rickettsiales but rather evolved from a proteobacterial lineage closely related to all sampled alphaproteobacteria.

Single-cell genomics and metagenomics of lake and oceanic samples, respectively, identified previously unobserved Rickettsiales-related lineages. They branched early relative to characterized Rickettsiales and encoded flagellar genes, a feature once thought absent in this order. Flagella are most likely an ancestral feature, and were independently lost during Rickettsiales diversification. In addition, preliminary analyses suggest that ATP/ADP translocase, the marker for energy parasitism, was acquired after the acquisition of type IV secretion systems during the emergence of the Rickettsiales.

Further exploration of the oceanic samples yielded the first draft genomes of Marine Group IV archaea, the closest known relatives of the Haloarchaea. The halophilic and generally aerobic Haloarchaea are thought to have evolved from an anaerobic methanogenic ancestor. The MG-IV genomes allowed us to study this enigmatic evolutionary transition. Preliminary ancestral reconstruction analyses suggest a gradual loss of methanogenesis and adaptation to an aerobic lifestyle, respectively.

The thesis further presents a new amplicon sequencing method that captures near full-length 16S and 23S rRNA genes of environmental prokaryotes. The method exploits PacBio's long read technology and the frequent proximity of these genes in prokaryotic genomes. Compared to traditional partial 16S amplicon sequencing, our method classifies environmental lineages that are distantly related to reference taxa more confidently.

In conclusion, this thesis provides new insights into the origins of mitochondria, Rickettsiales and Haloarchaea and illustrates the power of cultivation independent methods with respect to the study of microbial evolution.

Chief Justice: Why should all pay for what only some need?

Chief Justice John Roberts (Photo credit: Steve Petteway, Collection of the Supreme Court of the United States)

Tuesday’s landmark oral argument in a case testing the constitutionality of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act had some very interesting moments—such as when the chief justice seemed to support the notion that if a person doesn’t have kids he or she should not have to help pay for taking care of kids. It’s the kind of argument some in the LGBT community have made in years past when complaining about paying local taxes to support schools even though many gay people don’t have children.

In this week’s landmark case before the U.S. Supreme Court, all three of the nation’s major LGBT legal groups signed onto a brief in support of the new federal health insurance law. They did so along with two other LGBT groups and 11 groups helping people with HIV. And their point was not that gays shouldn’t have to pay for maternity or pediatric services that many LGBT people will never need.

The 30-page brief was one of more than 130 briefs filed in HHS v. Florida and several other lawsuits seeking to strike down the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), signed into law two years ago by President Obama.

Initial reaction to oral arguments Tuesday suggest the law is in peril of being struck down as unconstitutional. That’s because the presumed “swing vote” on the nine-member bench—Justice Anthony Kennedy— expressed strong skepticism about the right of the federal government to mandate citizens to purchase insurance coverage.

Kennedy said that allowing the federal government to order citizens to purchase health coverage “changes the relationship of the federal government to the individual in the very fundamental way.”

One question from Kennedy echoed complaints by opponents of ACA: “Can you create commerce in order to regulate it?” asked Kennedy at the start of Tuesday’s session. U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, arguing in defense of the ACA, said the law is not “creating commerce” but rather regulating an already existing commerce—that of financing the use of the health care system by people who don’t purchase insurance.

“So you’re not—it’s not your free choice just to do something for yourself,” interjected Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “What you do is going to affect others, affect them in a major way.” In other words, by choosing not to buy health insurance, a person is causing others to pay more for their health services so that health care outlets can provide free services to the person who has no insurance.

Still, said Kennedy, the ACA “requires the individual to do an affirmative act.”

That’s when Chief Justice John Roberts added the interesting argument in support of Kennedy’s point: Roberts said the theory used to justify the ACA “is that there is a market in which everyone participates because everybody might need a certain range of health care services, and yet you’re requiring people who are not—never going to need pediatric or maternity services to participate in that market.”

That has been an argument used by many in the gay community for years —that LGBT citizens are required to pay local taxes to support schools even though many do not have children. The response offered by some in the past has been that gays benefit indirectly by ensuring that all children are well-educated and cared for.

Verrilli responded that, “there is not a market in which you can say that there is a immutable class of healthy people who are being forced to subsidize the unhealthy.”

The legal issues before the Supreme Court in regards to the ACA are not explicitly, directly LGBT-related, but the law is of tremendous interest to people with HIV specifically and of considerable benefit to LGBT people generally.

The brief filed by Lambda Legal, Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, the National Center for Transgender Equality and others in support of the ACA says the law ensures there is health coverage for people with HIV and that that benefits society generally. By doing so, said the brief, the law helps stem the spread of the virus to others and to keep a lid on the enormous burden that HIV infection puts on the health care system.

Before the ACA was enacted, notes the brief, 30 percent of people with HIV had no insurance—public or private.

Among other things, the ACA prohibits insurance companies from putting limits on how much coverage a person—with HIV, breast cancer, or any other disease— can have during his or her lifetime or from dropping him or her from coverage once a person becomes ill. It prevents companies from excluding certain conditions for coverage or refusing coverage to people for certain conditions.

The arguments in the high court this week included whether federal law can require that all people buy health insurance coverage and whether states can be required to cover the expanded number of people qualifying for Medicaid under the ACA. They also included questions about whether the whole law must be struck down if the ACA’s requirement that all individuals obtain coverage is declared unconstitutional. And they included an argument over whether the penalty imposed upon those who won’t buy coverage constitutes a “tax” and, if so, whether a rather obscure federal law might require that constitutional challenges to that “tax” wait until it kicks in, in 2014. On this latter point, most media observers believe the court will rule on the law’s constitutionality.

The focus of most media reports—and of the Lambda brief—concerned the mandate that everyone purchase health coverage. The Lambda brief refers to this as the “minimum coverage requirement” or MCR, while most media reports dubbed it simply the “individual mandate.” With some exceptions (including religious-based objections and poverty), everyone must obtain health coverage starting in 2014 or pay one percent of their income annually as a penalty. Over the years, the penalty rises, but there are limits to how high it can go.

Without the individual mandate, said the Lambda brief, the ACA “would be far less effective in curtailing the HIV epidemic and its economic costs.”

“Insurance premiums would be prohibitive for many people with HIV,” noted the brief, “providers would be scarce or nonexistent, and ultimately few people with HIV would have private coverage.” And that’s a problem not only for people with HIV, said the brief, but for public health. People with HIV who do not get adequate medical attention are more likely to spread the infection and to create a greater burden on the “social insurance of a health care system paid for by others.”

With the individual mandates, argued the Lambda brief, “thousands of lives—and billions of dollars—could be saved each year, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic could be dramatically curbed.”

Lambda also argued against the idea that each state should be able to decide for itself whether to enforce an individual mandate.

“Piecemeal local attempts to extend insurance coverage for those living with HIV will not curb the national epidemic,” argued Lambda. “If the [individual mandate] is not implemented nationally, states such as Florida will continue to have large, and likely growing, populations of uninsured individuals with HIV.”

3 Responses to Chief Justice: Why should all pay for what only some need?

  1. Duane Williams says:

    This whole debate seems crazy to me. The government has the power to raise taxes without having to say what the money is going to be spent on. Why couldn’t the government declare that all citizens are eligible to enroll in Medicare and then raise taxes as needed to pay for it? At the same time the government could require that all doctors and hospitals accept Medicare insurance. People who already have health care insurance would not be required to switch to Medicare, but they would still have to pay their taxes.

  2. Duane Williams says:

    I didn’t need the war in Iraq. Is the Chief Justice trying to say that I should’t have to pay for it? Can I get a tax refund?

  3. David Lampo says:

    Duane, that’s a strange and invalid analogy. Individuals don’t purchase wars; they do purchase health insurance, and up until ACA, they had a choice in doing so, as well as in the scope of coverage. Now we’re loaded down with mandates to purchase coverage we don’t need. That’s wrong. Why do liberals always promote choice when it comes to abortion and contraception and gay rights (correctly, I might add) but oppose choice in so many other areas of life? They have no moral standing to talk about gay rights when at the same time they say you can’t choose your health care, your retirement plans, what you spend 30 percent or more of your income on, etc.

The English word heifer originated from an ancient Anglo-Saxon word for a young cow or a female calf. Heifer is used to translate two Hebrew words, pronounced eg-law and paw-raw, both of which mean the same as the English word. The King James Version also sometimes uses kine, which means cattle in general, to translate the same two Hebrew words when the context, while including heifers, does not speak exclusively of heifers.

"Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood"

Red Heifer Heifers were among the animals specified for sacrifices from early times, such as this example that The Lord instructed Abraham (see also Abraham And The "Tradition Trap") to make at the time that He declared that Abraham's descendants would inherit the land of Israel before Abraham's grandson Israel, Jacob, was even born. Note also that The Lord spoke to Abraham of the future Exodus of Abraham's descendants before Abraham had any children:

"And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? And Abram said, Behold, to me Thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. And, behold, the word of The Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir."

And He said unto him, I am The Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it. And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? And He said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not."

"And He said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance" (Genesis 15:2-4,7-10,13-14 KJV)

After the Exodus, red heifers were part of the sacrifices given unto the Levites to perform:

"And The Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, This is the ordinance of the law which The Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke" (Numbers 19:1-2 KJV)

By the time of the New Testament, after the Sacrifice of the Messiah, the symbolic purpose of the animal sacrifices was revealed:

"Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation."

"But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" (Hebrews 9:6-14 KJV)

Fact Finder: The verses above plainly explain that the "dead works of the law" that were made obsolete by the Sacrifice of the Christ were the animal sacrifices that merely symbolized the coming Lamb of God. What does the Word of God have to say to those who claim that observing the Ten Commandments are also "dead works" that were likewise made obsolete by Christ's sacrifice?

School trying to ease severe Missouri dentist shortage -

School trying to ease severe Missouri dentist shortage

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. -- A new Kirksville dental school is seeking to ease a severe shortage of dentists in Missouri.

The Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health opened Tuesday at A.T. Still University, the Columbia Missourian reported. The only other dental school in the state is at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

The new school’s initial class of 42 includes nine Missouri residents, but the school hopes its health center placement program will persuade many to remain in state, where dentists are retiring more quickly than dental schools can graduate new professionals.

In 28 counties, at least 50 percent of dentists plan to retire within the next 10 years, according to an analysis conducted for the Department of Health and Senior Services.

The retirements are especially concerning because dental care already is in short supply. With a patient-to-dentist ratio of 2,168-to-1, Missouri is in worse shape than 90 percent of the nation. The national average is 1,516-to-1, according to county rankings from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

“They’re few and far between in rural areas,” said Joseph Pierle, CEO of the Missouri Primary Care Association.

The Kirksville school aims to increase awareness of underserved populations and provide on-the-job clinical training. During their first two years, students will learn through simulations and classroom lectures. In their third year, they’ll work at Grace Hill Health Centers, Inc., a community health organization in the St. Louis area.

During the fourth year of the program, students will work in community health centers across the state, including in rural areas. Students may also work at Veteran’s Administration clinics or Indian Health Service clinics.

Upon completion of the four-year program, every student will receive a certificate in public health, with the option of pursuing a master’s degree in public health, A.T. Still University dean Christopher Halliday said.

“The fact is,” Halliday said, “that we have a large segment of the population that does not have access to oral healthcare services.”

Can Mizzou fans start talking about Atlanta? -

Can Mizzou fans start talking about Atlanta?

(Missouri Football App) – With five games remaining the Tigers appear to be sitting pretty.

Mizzou leads the conference’s eastern division by two games over South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. The Tigers also hold the tiebreaker over the Bulldogs and Gators.  For all practical purposes, the division is theirs to lose.

Despite his team’s current position, head coach Gary Pinkel said his team is only worried about its next contest against South Carolina.

"Honestly, I have not looked at the standings. I just know that this is our eighth game this season. That is what we decided to do this year, as we go and focus game by game.” Pinkel said. “We do not care whom we play, and we are going to try to play our best football. We only got twelve shots at this. Our players are aware of one thing, and that is keep playing and good things are going to happen. That is where our focus is at."

A spot in the conference title game (Dec, 7) appears to be staring Missouri straight in the face, but don’t book your trip to Atlanta just yet.

There is still plenty of football to be played in what has been a wild and wacky season in the SEC. In a year in which everyone thought Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina would be fighting for the top spot in the eastern division, injuries and upsets have allowed Mizzou to emerge as the leader.

There have been fewer unexpected results in the west, where Alabama continues to dominate. It looks as if one-loss Auburn is the only team that has a chance to keep the Crimson Tide from reaching the conference title game. Both LSU and Texas A&M, two squads many thought to be Alabama’s biggest intra-divisional challengers, have already lost two SEC games have little hope of a conference championship.

A win over South Carolina would give Missouri a stranglehold on the rest of the SEC East; but the 2013 season has been so topsy-turvy, so full of surprises, that we must not call the SEC East race until it has officially been decided.

Men Plead Not Guilty In Couple's Fatal Burning

Trials Could Last Over One Year

Men Plead Not Guilty In Couple's Fatal Burning
Trials Could Last Over One Year

One of the two men accused of burning a Portales couple alive went to court on Monday.

Stanley Bedford did not appear in court, waiving his right for an arraignment, but entered a plea of not guilty.

The other man accused of the murders, Jerry Fuller, went before a judge and entered the same plea.

Fuller is the victims' nephew.

In early March, police found the bodies of Doris and Odis Newman in the trunk of their burning Lincoln Town Car.

Police say the men kidnapped the couple from their house and set it on fire.

Fuller is charged with two counts of capital murder, two counts of first-degree kidnapping, possession of stolen property and tampering with evidence.

District attorney Matt Chandler is recommending Fuller and Bedford be held without bail.

Police believe the two beat and bound the Newmans before driving their car to a remote road southeast of Portales and setting it on fire. They think the couple was still alive when the car was set on fire.

Fuller and Bedford could face the death penalty.

Chandler is not elaborating on possible motives for the murders.

The district attorney anticipates there will be two lengthy trials, hoping they will be completed by the end of the year.

Chandler said there is a chance the defense for Fuller and Bedford could request a change of venue.

Fuller and Bedford are being held in Roosevelt County Detention Center.

Both are expected back in court on July 1.

Two additional suspects could receive up to three years in prison for attempting to sell some of the Newmans' stolen possessions.

Hairy Times: Remove or Keep?

Hair. We just want it on our heads and not all over, right?

When it comes to maintenance and hygiene, one area that is concerning is hair. We worry about the hair on our heads and on our bodies. Having hair can be a time consuming and costly. Often times in frustration the best way to rid one’s self of the drama is to simply remove it. The means to remove the hair can seem barbaric and a tiny bit sadistic at times, but the goal is always a sense of freedom.

shave or no shave

If the hair is on your head, you can simply go to the barber or salon and cut it. If you want to save money and look for a new experience, you can do it yourself. Going bald, for men and/or women, can be a liberating change. It’s also a time saver.

Now, let’s enter the world of body hair. Some like it, some do not. If you like it, cool. However, for those of us that hate it, trying to remove it can be a pain. At times, there are so many options, but they’re just as annoying as the hair that needs to be removed.

hairy legs in heels

If you shave, you have to worry about making sure your razor is sharp, but not so sharp that it always cuts you. On top of that, juggling the hand with the razor and shaving cream can cause your head to spin. But we won’t even mention the decision to shave in the shower, tub or simply standing at the sink. The worst part of shaving is the bumps you may get.

Waxing….ouch! The plus side is speed. The down side, pain and the pain to pay.

Laser Hair Removal/Reduction…(please see the previously mention down side of waxing).

Using Nair stinks, takes a while, risk chemically burning yourself and even after all of that, all your hair may not be gone completely.

nairOnce you pick the method, now its time to focus on the area, which is also a lot. Even then, you think about not even shaving, waxing or removing the hair. Just when you say no to yourself, you think about being sexy & smooth.

With all of that stuff in mind, its no wonder why some just say “F**K it” and simply let the hair grow freely.

DIY publishers break out in Korea

By Korea Herald
  • Published : Feb 11, 2014 - 20:10
  • Updated : Feb 11, 2014 - 20:10
The difficulty of finding a voice in a country that doesn’t speak her language is all too familiar to Doria Garms-Sotelo.

The aspiring journalist, whose husband is in the U.S. Army, has called Korea home for the past nine years. She has used that time to hone her writing skills and complete a book on a topic that is close to her heart.

“I lived in Sri Lanka from 1988 to 1993. It was the bloodiest time of the war there. I just want tell people, and teach them, about Sri Lanka.”

And therein lay the rub for Garms-Sotelo.

“The problem I found was that no one spoke English, and that made publishing very difficult,” she said.

After trawling through the Linked In career site and various literary blogs, Garms-Sotelo hit upon a solution: self-publishing.

Self-publishing is essentially authorship without the middle man. Writers harness the potential of the Internet to transform a story into a fully-fledged publication.

The covers of “Weird and Wonderful Korea” by Chris Backe and “War Remains” by Jeffrey Miller

Chris Backe, a self-published author whose latest book, “Weird and Wonderful in Korea,” is now available on Amazon, knows the world of self-publishing inside and out.

“We’re past the days where distribution is controlled by a handful of book companies, or requires a large upfront investment. If you have a computer and an Internet connection, you can self-publish a book and have it on sale anywhere in the world.”

Backe now lives in Thailand, but spent five years in South Korea blogging about travel and life in the Land of Morning Calm.

Having successfully taken the step from blogger to self-publisher, Backe began running workshops with fellow writer Jeffrey Miller to help aspiring authors crack the self-publishing market and bring out the book lurking within.

Backe says that he had the whole gamut of people attending his workshop: “old, young, long-timers, newbies, male and female.” Authorial experience is not a pre-requisite to self-publishing. Backe believes that getting self-published is simply a matter of having a story to tell, and expats have some particularly fascinating tales up their sleeves.

“The history of expats writing about their experiences is a long one,” he said. “Some English teachers put together their memoirs after their time ‘in Korea,’ while others aim to explain Korean history or culture to the rest of the world.”

Writers are not limited to memoirs or travel tales. Expats have been known to write everything from novels and poetry to comics and cook books. Daniel Gray, who also runs the “Seoul Eats” blog, has combined the latter two in “Say Kimchi!” a comic book on Korean food he cowrote with Sohn Hee-jong and Jia Choi, and former English teacher Jeffrey Miller has four novels, a set of short stories and a collection of essays to his name after discovering the creative freedom that comes with self-publishing.

One of the greatest assets that self-publishers in South Korea have is the strong writing and self-publishing community. A dearth of local platforms on which to publish means that self-publishers have to look overseas when publishing their work, and this is where the advice of an old hand becomes welcome.

“The most popular platform I’ve found is Amazon’s CreateSpace,” says Garms-Sotelo, “There’s (no self-publishing) platform in Korea, but if there was the foreign writers would be all over it, especially if there was one in English.”

Backe is also a fan of CreateSpace, which requires an American bank account in order for authors to use it. He advises anyone who wants to get their work out there to become part of the growing online community of self-publishers.

Self Publishers in Asia operates a Facebook group aiming to enlighten and assist writers in getting their work published. A bit closer to home, a group of expats have formed the Seoul Writers Workshop, which runs separate critiquing and poetry workshops twice a month.

With a raft of social and charity events, as well as the publication of a yearly anthology, the Seoul Writers Workshop is the perfect fit for anyone wishing to test the waters of the self-publishing world.

It can be difficult for writers living outside Seoul to take advantage of these communities. Seoul Writers Workshop is beginning to branch out into regional events and the frequency of their workshops is geared toward accessibility, but living outside the city presents a hurdle for would-be authors.

Garms-Sotelo, who is based in Pyeongtaek, says that constantly traveling to Seoul can be tiring.

“The support networks are missing, but between blogs and Linked In you can usually get along.” While a strong online community is invaluable for regionally based writers, what is really needed is further expansion of the writing community to locations outside Seoul.

Busan Writers Group has heard the call for regional writing groups, and meets every Sunday evening to share short stories, poems and non-fiction.

Self-publishing is an increasingly popular option for the expat community, and foreign voices are becoming more and more prominent within literature emerging from Korea.

The only risk aspiring authors take is writing a book no one wants to read, but with a little research and a lot of passion, this risk is not only alleviated, but almost never encountered.

    I would like to use the avia layout builder for articles.
    I used this video to install types.
    I can now edit the “type article” just like a page.
    But I can’t link this article to a section in the menu. So it doesn’t appear on the site.
    For a a “regular” article, you can choose on the right side to link it to a category in the menu so that it will appear under a category when you navigate on the website.

    Hey radis92!

    That isn’t a supported modification to the theme unfortunately so if there are issues with the advanced layout editor being enabled on posts we aren’t able to debug them.

Most Underused Item

I’ve been looking at some of the prompts of the month and decided to go ahead and write about this one. It is tough for me because with all the unpacked boxes around…I surely have a LOT of underused items that I can’t even think of…

The item I’m choosing as being underused though? I think I will talk about my sneakers. As you may or may not know I DID recently join the gym and I’m totally loving it. I am using my sneakers then too, but while I’m reading The Primal Blueprint I am realizing that I could definitely do more. One of my favorite points he makes, or recommends is that we remain in constant motion…so something I’ve started and vow to continue is to walk as much as possible.

For example this week, I have gone on long-ish walks 1-3.5m while Hazel is in her preschools. It is absolutely wonderful! Gets my blood flowing and also gets both Zazen and me some fresh air and more close time (he is with me in his Moby Wrap
of course) that is doubling as making it more of an “exercise” for me since he adds a good 20lb’s or so.

On that note I had better get the kids out more too!! Time to get off the computer 😉

David Byrne is the Bomb

How David Byrne's and Brian Eno's latest collaboration, Everything that Happens will Happen Today, came to be.

David Byrne's concert at Radio City Music Hall, February 28, 2009, was unbelievable. Kanye West cannot hold a candle to this consummate performer. David Byrne is a real Renaissance man. Dance, Choreography, Lighting, Music, Composition - he knows how to take care of business. He is a man of the present with a deep knowledge of the past. He can recognize and respect the talent of others and put it to great use. I am talking about his choreographer, Noemie Lafrance and whomever he put in charge of his stage lighting.

Chicago nursing home fined after residents' heroin overdose

CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois and federal health officials are seeking penalties totaling over $100,000 from a Chicago nursing home after five residents overdosed on heroin inside the facility in February.

The residents of Continental Nursing & Rehabilitation Center were hospitalized and recovered, but Illinois public health department inspectors allege at least two used heroin again hours after they were returned to the facility, even though they were supposed to be on close watch.

The Chicago Tribune reports the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has imposed civil monetary penalties totaling $76,000 for alleged violations in the incident.

The nursing home is contesting an additional $25,000 fine from the Illinois public health department, which says the facility failed to properly monitor and treat residents with addictions.

Continental part-owner Moishe Gubin says he wasn't aware of any heroin overdoses or other problems.

The LAFMS Shoe... Fri., Jan. 20 at the Getty - tickets available again!

on Wed, 01/11/2012 - 03:25

Though the event is official "sold out", a limited amount of free tickets may again be reserved beginning Tuesday, January 17 to see The LAFMS Shoe perform at the Getty Center as part of the kick off of its performance festival on Friday, January 20, 2012.

Kalpa, by Hirokazu Kosaka: This major new site-specific commission by Hirokazu Kosaka will transform the Getty Center’s Arrival Plaza into a sculptural and performative installation. In Sanskrit, kalpa means eon—a long period of time. Once every hundred years, an angel comes down from heaven and swipes the surface of a stone with her silk sleeves until the rock disappears. Kosaka builds a symbolic parallel between kalpa and the inevitable passage of time that slowly transforms our lives, our histories, and our memories.

Following the performance, the Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS) will present the LAFMS Shoe, a series of duets that seamlessly morph from musician to musician exposing a constantly evolving palette of musical voices.  The LAFMS Shoe is comprised of many of the core members of LAFMS including Ace Farren Ford, Dennis Duck, Fredrik Nilsen, Joe Potts, Joseph Hammer, Rick Potts, Tom Recchion, and Vetza.

Visit for more information and to make reservations beginning Tuesday, January 17, 2012.

5 Reasons Why the Steam Sales Are Not All They Are Cracked up to Be

As the year comes to a close, many gamers eagerly await the Steam Christmas holiday sale. Gamers can pick up heavily discounted games and take part in activities such as voting for the next Community choice or dealing in Steam’s coveted trading cards. But the Steam sales are not that great for video gamers and the gaming industry. Here follows 5 reasons why that might be the case.

1. Steam discounts too big too early

steam-game-awards-saleYou may have noticed that games released not so long ago have been getting big discounts in the big Christmas sale. A game like Beyond Earth, which was released at the end of October, got a 40 % discount in the sale. Now this is great if you are a fan of Sid Meier’s turn-based strategy games, but one could argue that this cheapens IPs, or the game developers’ intellectual property. Even games that have not been released yet, such as The Witcher 3, got a 10 % discount in the Game Awards sale! While this is great to pique people’s interest and get preorders, one could argue that it cheapens game developer’s work.

Rome, Italy: It was just magic!

Roman Forum.  Copyright Fototeca ENIT
Roman Forum. Copyright Fototeca ENIT

I know what Roman gladiators must have felt like when they were sent on a long march. For I had a blister the size of the colosseum in Rome after Ruaridh and Flora had finished with me!

Welcome to Rome – the fast and furious Italian city, whose rustic charm will have you falling in love with it, the minute you start to explore.

San Pietro with the Basilicia in the background. Copyright Fototeca ENIT

San Pietro with the Basilicia in the background. Copyright Fototeca ENIT

Cheap flights mean this city is an accessible one for all and when Ruaridh and Flora decided to take an active interest in all things Roman, well pizza and gelato eating anyway, we just had to head to this fascinating city.

The city centre is a 40 minute train ride from the airport and we chose the Radisson Blu Es Hotel as our base. Well-placed just opposite the main railway terminal, it’s an ideal spot for families and businessmen alike. The Radisson chain has a reputation for being smart and easy on the eye and this hotel was no exception.

Lit up by multi colours during the night, the top floor breakfast restaurant during the day is the main attraction as it affords a lovely view across the city. And the food is top notch too, with a massive buffet breakfast, with hot and cold Italian specialities to keep you going for the day, all washed down with the famous Italian expresso or latte coffees. There is fine dining and cocktails on offer at night.

The rooftop also boasts a nice swimming pool, which is needed in the hot summers and there is a gym and spa for the fitness enthusiasts too. The bedrooms are modern and airy and with all the mod cons you need.

The Colosseum. Copyright Fototeca ENIT

The Colosseum. Copyright Fototeca ENIT

A short ride on the underground soon has you in the old part of the city, home to the famous relics of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatino Hill. The Colosseum is the jewel in the crown. It was here that gladiators met in mortal combat and condemned prisoners fought off wild beasts infront of baying, bloodthirsty crowds.

As you stand and take in the magnificent view, it’s easy to imagine the roar of the crowd and the majestic fighting which took place in this wonderful 50,000 seater amphitheatre which was built by Vespasian in AD 80. To mark its inception, there was 100 days and nights of fighting which saw 5,000 animals slaughtered. Eighteen years later this was topped with a marathon 117 day killing spree involving 9,000 gladiators and 10,000 animals.

A joint ticket will take you into the nearby Palatino Hill, once home to the most exclusive of Romans. It’s a fascinating site to wander round, with magnificient views and you are soon lost in thoughts of living in this once luxurious town, high above the city. From here you can look down into the Roman Forum , an ancient district of temples, basilicas and vibrant public spaces.

As in most cities, Rome has a special pass which can be bought for the duration of your stay and the price includes entry into top sights, unlimited travel on public transport and discount on museums and galleries.

After a pit stop of Pizza Bianca, delicious simple white bread made with a little salt and olive oil, we decided to walk to the famous Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. We had prepared for our trip by watching the classic Lizzie McQuire film, which features a schoolgirl who falls in love with a Roman pop star and shows off all the main tourist sights.

The Trevi Fountain was a must for the children, as throwing a coin with your left hand over your shoulder will mean all your wishes coming true and with Valentine’s Day coming up, this was especially important to Ruaridh (8)!

This foaming fountain is a masterpiece of architecture and attracts big crowds. Depicting Neptune’s chariot being led by Tritons with seahorses, it’s a white wonder and after a multi million pound spruce up in 2015, its looking pretty good these days.

Nearby are the Spanish Steps, the widest staircase in Europe and built with French money 300 years ago. There are 138 steps to the top where lies a Roman obelisk and a 16th century church. A few years ago a Columbian man decided the steps were not for walking, but driving his car down, with disastrous results!

From the steps we head to the Pantheon, a striking 2,000 year old temple, now a church and home to one of the best acoustics in the world, with many famous singers choosing this building to record their albums.

Rome is home to lots of quirky sights, such as the Mouth of Truth, a big ugly stone face inside a church entrance, where legend has it, you place your hand in and if you tell a lie, it bites it off! We were obviously on our best behaviour because we survived and went on to see a tomb shaped like a baker’s oven and an enormous statue of emperor Constantine’s massive foot!

No trip to Rome is complete without a visit to the state of Vatican City, whether you are religious or not. Separate from Rome, it’s the smallest state in the world and owned by the Catholic church and run by the pope. Only 800 people live in the city, but it’s a beautiful place with lovely museums and grounds and of course, just outside the walls is the St Peter’s Basilica, a magnificient church, surrounded by a huge square where the pope holds his Wednesday open air services.

The main attraction though is the Sistine Chapel, which is where Michelangelo and other painters contributed to some of the most religious artwork in the world. Angelo’s Last Judgement picture caused major upset, at the time of painting, because of all the naked bodies!

But it’s the Piazza Navona square which sums up Rome best. Filled with crowds of people and buskers, its star attractions are the white, silver or gold statues who make money from not moving a muscle. We are still trying to work out how our “Buddha’’ managed to stay cross legged and high in the air with no seeable way of holding himself up. Like Rome, it was just magic!

Accommodation: The Radisson Blu Es hotel in Via Filippo Turati is conveniently located just across from the main railway station, so is easily accessible from the airport and a great place to stay as its so near all the major sights. For latest offers and reservations, log onto:

Snow White Review – Harris Theater’s Grimm! Glam! Shazam! Ballet Français

Ah! The Happy Ending!

Talk about jaw-dropping, innovative, precedent-setting, captivating grace combined with athleticism!  The beautiful production by Ballet Prejlocaj has it all.  Only the French could re-imagine and re-tell this Brothers Grimm tale with this much power and grace. Walt Disney would hardly recognize his happy little tale.  Why? Because Walt’s light-hearted story was about the seven dwarfs (I’ll bet you can name at least four of them!)

Choosing the Poison Apple

This gripping, visually lush ballet is about Snow White, Blanche Neige.  Her epic struggle with her evil (make that EVIL) stepmother is so gripping yet so compelling, you can’t take your eyes off the stage even though you pretty much know what’s going to happen.  Or do you? Absolutely nothing about this story is predictable or ordinary.

In this Prejlocaj’s narrative ballet, the story is vividly brought to life by

  • Thierry Leproust’s sets including the rock wall down which the seven dwarfs dance and rappel to Snow White’s rescue.
  • Jean Paul Gaultier’s (famous for his iconic designs that notably include Madonna’s cone-shaped bra from the 1990s.) gorgeous, sexy, fluid costumes.
  • Gustav Mahler’s dramatic, tragic, soul-searching symphonic music complete with a plaintive “Frère Jacques” just when you least expect it.
  • Angelin Preljocaj’s choreography has been described as “part-Peter Bruegel, part-Henri Rousseau and, at its most edgy, part-Quentin Tarantino (Los Angeles Times),” conjures imagery from the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale of 1812, utilizing every 21st century trick in the book.

Gaultier's Daring Costumes

Snow White combines singular classicism with the excitement of a modern day thriller,” said Harris Theater President and Managing Director Michael Tiknis. “This is a ballet unlike any other, a visceral mix of style and story with broad appeal—from the athletic choreography to the fashion-forward costumes of Jean Paul Gaultier. We’re proud to bring this highly innovative performance to Chicago for the first time.”

Prejlocaj Logo

About Angelin Preljocaj

Angelin Preljocaj was born in the Paris region in France and began studying classical ballet before turning to contemporary dance, which he studied with Karin Waehner. In 1980, he went to New York to work with Zena Rommett and Merce Cunningham, after which he resumed his studies in France.

His productions are now part of the repertoire of numerous companies, many of which also commission original productions from him, notably the ballet company of the Teatro alla Scala of Milan, the New York City Ballet, and the Paris Opéra Ballet.

About Jean Paul Gaultier

Jean Paul Gaultier was born in Arcueil in 1952 and joined Pierre Cardin’s team at the age of 18. In 1976, his first clothing collection made a sensational entry. Known as the “enfant terrible of French fashion,” he constantly revolutionized it, with recycled materials in 1980 (leather from cars and tins became clothing and jewelry), the Corset Dress in 1983 followed by the skirt for men two years later. His triumphal success allowed him to maintain his fight against racial and geographical barriers and intolerance. The themes of his collections illustrate his desire to mix genres and break with codes.

Harris Theater for Music and Dance The Harris Theater’s mission is to partner and collaborate with an array of Chicago’s emerging and mid-sized performing arts organizations to help them build the resources and infrastructure necessary to achieve artistic growth and long-term organizational sustainability. Now in its 10th season, the Harris Theater for Music and Dance was the first multi-use performing arts venue to be built in the Chicago downtown area since 1929 and today the Theater continues to host the most diverse offerings of any venue in Chicago, featuring the city’s world-renowned music and dance institutions and the Harris Theater Presents series of acclaimed national and international artists and ensembles.

To learn more about the Harris Theater, please visit HarrisTheaterChicago or call the Box Office at 312.334.7777 to request a brochure or additional information.

The Harris Theater for Music and Dance, Chicago’s state-of-the art 1,525 seat performance venue, can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.

What You Should Know Before You Start - Juicing Icon Offers 5 Tips for Beginners and Veterans Alike

It’s no longer just celebrities, world-class athletes and alternative-lifestyle hippies turning to green smoothies and freshly juiced vegetable and fruits for improved health, says nutritionist and juicing pioneer Cherie Calbom, MS, also known as "The Juice Lady."

"People from all walks of life are looking for proven ways to lose weight, energize, sleep better, strengthen their immune systems, and have brighter skin and a younger appearance. They’re also juicing to help their bodies heal from a variety of ailments," says Calbom, author of a new book full of juicing tips, tricks and recipes, "The Juice Lady's Big Book of Juices and Green Smoothies."

"No matter your diet, juicing offers a shot of goodness – nutrition, minerals, phytonutrients and more – that you might not otherwise get," Calbom says.

Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been juicing awhile and want to optimize the experience, Calbom shares some important pointers that will help.

• Fruits & veggies happiness studies: Plenty of new research shows that adding more produce to your daily diet can benefit your mental health and sense of well-being. In one analysis of the eating habits and moods of 80,000 British adults, researchers at Dartmouth and the University of Warwick found that those who consumed the most fruit and vegetables every day rated themselves as significantly happier and more satisfied with their lives than those who ate lesser amounts. Research shows that the well-being score for people who ate seven to eight servings of vegetables and fruits per day was consistently three points higher than for those who ate little or none.

• More studies ... Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health concluded from a study of 982 Americans that those who exhibited the most optimistic outlooks on life also had the highest blood levels of carotene, a key antioxidant that’s delivered by a colorful array of produce: dark green spinach and kale, carrots, and sweet potatoes, and vibrant yellow or orange fruits like peaches, papayas and cantaloupe, among others. And "juicers" should consider starting at a young age. A study of 281 adults with a mean age of 20, conducted at the University of Otago, New Zealand, showed that those who reported the highest daily intake of fruits and veggies also declared they were happier, calmer and more energetic than those who ate less.

• "Do I need to juice; can’t I just eat produce?": This is a common response, but the reality is that most people in today’s society – especially those who are booked from morning to evening with a busy lifestyle – rarely get an optimal amount of produce throughout the day. A half-cup of veggies is a serving and ¾ of a cup of juice equals one serving; chewing seven to eight servings of produce every day requires much more effort and time than drinking fresh juice for some of the servings. That makes people much more likely to benefit from juice, she says.

• Flavor diversification: Some people soon fall into creative ruts because they stick to the same basic ingredients, and that can be a disincentive for sticking with juicing. Diversify! Try gourmet and exotic juice blends, or even plant-based ingredients you simply haven’t yet considered, some of which may include: butternut squash, one-inch ginger chunks, beets with leaves and stems, Brussels sprouts, and fennel bulbs with fronds. "Juicing is not about just using common fruit ingredients – spice it up and experiment with healthy vegetables; it works!" Calbom says.

• An exotic example: A fennel-watercress-cucumber blend juice is an excellent way to mix up your typical cocktail. It includes: 1 handful of watercress; 1 dark green lettuce leaf; 1 cucumber, peeled if not organic; ½ fennel bulb and fronds; 1 lemon, peeled if not organic. Cut produce to fit your juicer’s feed tube. Wrap watercress in lettuce leaf and push through the juicer slowly. Juice all remaining ingredients. Drink immediately; this portion serves one.

Learn more about Cherie Calbom, MS on her site.

Cherie Calbom, MS is the author of 21 books, including the best-seller "Juicing for Life," with 2 million copies sold in the United States and published in 23 countries. Known as "The Juice Lady" for her work with juicing and health, her juice therapy and cleansing programs have been popular for more than a decade. She holds a Master of Science degree in nutrition from Bastyr University. She has practiced as a clinical nutritionist at St. Luke Medical Center, Bellevue, Wash., and as a celebrity nutritionist for George Foreman and Richard Simmons.

New York Fashion Week fall 2013: Alexander Wang review

NEW YORK -- To say that Alexander Wang is under pressure right now would be an understatement. Wang, 29, a rock star designer in his own right, known for brash basics favored by downtown It girls and models, is the newly crowned creative director of Balenciaga, replacing Nicolas Ghesquiere. And Wang will have some pretty big shoes to fill when he shows his first collection for the venerable French fashion house in a few weeks' time in Paris.

So naturally expectations were high Saturday when Wang presented his own fall-winter 2013 collection. And he did not disappoint. The collection already seemed elevated above what he has done in the past. And its exploration of volume and couture-like construction with a sporty, streetwise edge could provide some hints about what he plans to do at Balenciaga.

The look: The theme revolved around protection, which may be something Wang is feeling the need for himself these days. After all, the international fashion crowd can have the long knives out, especially for American designers taking over beloved French brands. (Note Tom Ford at Yves Saint Laurent.) And this show was definitely a wink at the situation Wang finds himself in. To the beats of “Eye of the Tiger” of “Rocky” fame, the first models stomped out onto the elevated runway not in boxing gloves, but in fur mittens, as if to say that Wang is up for the fashion fight.

The collection was all about bundling up in leather, shearling, alpaca, mohair and fur, which was molded and folded into cocoon-shaped tops and coats with rounded shoulders, funnel necks or martingale belts. On the bottom were leather skirts or upscale fleece sweatpants. A pair of sweaters was covered in cool-looking holographic studs. A burnout effect on a black chemise dress brought to mind camouflage. For evening, there were some riffs on the tuxedo, including a white jumpsuit with a plunging front, worn with a circular fur chubby. Ribbed hoods covered models’ heads except for slits cut for their copper-dipped ponytails to peek through. And the new shoe was a hybrid ankle sock-bootie. The palette was subdued with lots of black, white and gray.

The scene: Wang’s show was held in the gorgeous Cunard Building in the Financial District, with guests stopping to pose for photos with the famous Charging Bull statue outside. Inside, the rapper ASAP Rocky and model Liberty Ross were among the notable front-row guests.

The verdict:  TKO. Proof that Wang is more than ready for the second bout.

Movie Review: Prometheus Keeps You on the Edge of Your Seat

Prometheus, the new sci-fi thriller by Ridley Scott, opens in theaters tomorrow. Scott, who is known for his films Alien and Blade Runner, returns to the genre after three decades, and we can tell you, does not disappoint.

The film centers around a crew of scientists (all with different specialties) who travel in space to meet their “makers” – those they believe created life on earth. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace, daughter of Flamenco singer Rogelio Duran) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) lead the expedition, with strict guidelines by Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron), whose company is funding the project. Also taking center stage is the David (Michael Fassbender), a robot created by the corporation to take care of the humans. His “human” quality, however, is seen in his interactions with his own makers – humans – and his (somewhat) masked, unimpressed attitude towards them.

If the effects alone on their own aren’t enough to grab you, try watching it in 3-D. Seriously cool. It takes you on a journey, quite literally, and exposes you to a whole other world. New creatures, settings and discoveries will make you question the expedition at every turn, as you ask yourself, what else is out there? Leaving the theater will make you feel as if you’ve truly just experienced something not of this world (or is that shock?) and will definitely give you your sci-fi movie fix.

Prometheus opens in theaters June 8.  Check out the trailer:

the big news

I’m a homeowner!

That’s my excuse for my silence here. Had to get a major goal out of the way. I move into my first home on Monday, where I plan to have a flourishing vegetable garden and a fantastic roommate and an office with a door so I can shut the cats out of it when I want to actually get writing done. (If I’m really smart I’ll also invest in one of those programs that temporary blocks the internet for you.)

Expect more regular posts from me over the spring/summer, especially once the promo for Gabriel’s City gets going.

I hope 2014 is treating you well in all your adventures!
