Author, activist, mother of three. My passion is to bring Buckminster Fuller's ideas and visions back into the world: "To make the world work for 100% of humanity, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological harm or disadvantage to anyone."
Make a conscious shift in your thinking to abandon the false notion of scarcity. Thanks to advances in technology, there is enough for everyone. We can provide for 100% of humanity without ecological harm, but only if we set out with this as our conscious objective.
Take individual responsibility for outcomes. No matter how humble one's position in life, an individual has more freedom and power to act and speak out than corporations or government entities. As Bucky said many times in many ways, it is upon individual integrity that humanity's future rests.
Only go along with the truth. The dark ages which have imprisoned our thinking and limited our possibilities are giving way to new levels of insight and understanding. For this to continue, individuals must find the courage to speak up against false propaganda and fascist dogma.
There is it. Simple as one, two, three. Just shift your thinking to know how much is possible, take individual responsibility for making it happen, by refusing to accept anything less than the truth.
How difficult can it be? Today is Bucky's birthday. Anything is possible.
For more about Bucky's wisdom for humankind, visit today's Joseph Carrabis Author Blog, in which he interviews Patricia Ravasio about her book, The Girl from Spaceship Earth, and how Bucky was Right.
Check out this excellent article about why Buckminster Fuller's ideas are more relevant than ever.
I missed this thought-provoking piece on the relevance of Bucky by writer Samanth Subramnian of New Delhi. It's an excellent essay grappling with the big picture of who Bucky was and what his ideas really meant. While I don't like the way the writer disses Bucky for his iconoclasm, the overall narrative is dead on.
Compelling writing about a very important subject. I give it 5 stars. Give it a look. It made me think that as a writer, I might make a better gardener.
When it comes to taking charge of a listing Spaceship Earth, it has become clear that women must now step up and lead. It's not just about gender equality anymore, but about taking over just in the nick of time. It has become clear that Spaceship Earth's women must now wake up and heed their own innate but lost wisdom about how to create a more just and sustainable planet for us all.
Buckminster Fuller's idea about the superiority of a feminine paradigm of leadership first came to light in 1968 in an essay published in McCall's Magazine article, entitled "Why Women Will Rule the World." It is an eye opener the world clearly needs now.
Bucky often explained that if women were in charge, the world could be free of the need to labor for a daily energy supply, since clean renewable energy would be a reality. We know that freeing ourselves of our dependence on fossil fuels is the pivotal challenge of the 21st century. To get there, woman — and all those who think like women — must insist that our government be rebuilt to actually represent the will of the people, which is not currently the case. Nearly 70% of Americans want action on climate change. Over 80% want more serious gun control. Neither is coming anytime soon, unless and until women step up and speak out.
Fuller suggested that "governance should become nurturance", that weaponry be replaced by "livingry", and that we intentionally, as a United Space Planet People, set about upon a new humanitarian course. Conservatives call it socialism or communism, but it is not any old notion about anything. It is something new. Some call it humanism. Or naturism. By any name, this emerging global trend is about people coming together to cooperate, to build community, to have compassion and empathy for one another. Bucky's big eight rules for our successful evolution can become guiding principles. Abundantly advanced technology and knowledge have brought us to the point where it no longer needs to be "us versus them." There is enough for all, but if only we get together and set out to prove it. By actively working toward a higher quality of life for 100% of humanity, without harm to the environment, we can accomplish just that.
Women must bring their courage, their compassion, and cooperative spirit to the forefront. Speak out. Take leadership roles. Be brave. Stop thinking there is nothing you can do. The individual is the most powerful entity on the planet. Individuals have the freedom to say and act as they wish.
We must delegitimize the fossil fools, just as we finally had the courage to do to big tobacco. Time is of the essence. Big oil is even a more ferociously determined beast than tobacco and killing us just as carelessly.
Even if there wasn't global warming, there are ample reasons for transitioning to clean energy now. Two-thirds of what's in the ground must stay there. These reserves, Bucky said, should be regarded as "nature's energy savings account" to be preserved for future planetary emergencies.
We must demand our government immediately scale up the "readily tappable cosmic energies of sun, wind and wave power" and other emerging energy technologies.
Free energy will set humanity free. Common sense leadership from women (and people who think like them) will keep us there. Saving the world is women's work.
Read Bucky's 1968 McCall's article. It will set your mind to dancing with all the exciting possibilities for the human race. And please share Buckyideas.

I've never stolen candy from a baby (stealing my husband's though, is a whole other conversation). Those ASPCA commercials with the Lilith Fair soundtrack break my heart (I'm not crying, you're crying). I don't try to foist my beliefs on others and attempt to not judge people for their convictions (except for those who put mustard and/or Miracle Whip in potato salad, then I will totally judge those evil doers).
So, as character flaws go, I guess this one's pretty benign. But it's still a ding upon my soul.
From time to time, I'll discover and embrace something new seemingly before it's picked up by anyone else. Anything really; recipes, authors, music, even mascara brands. Then the rest of the world recognizes its excellence at a slighter later date.
When this happens, I get a little smug. It's mainly in my own slightly swollen head, but Petey and The Kid might hear the tiniest smidge of boasting. And on the flip side, whenever the hoi polloi is fascinated with a new fad or style, I am both wary and disdainful. I don't do social media, but if it has so permeated the Facespace and Twaddle that it spills over to the rest of the interwebs, where I may then read about it, then it's truly reached peak saturation.
When this happens, I'm loathe to consider trying the shiny new. I really dislike coming late to the party. So, showing up when the hors d'oeuvre trays are empty and the ashtrays are full just kills me. But the very worst?
When I like it (Good grief, just writing out that statement left a bad taste in my mouth).
But there's this thing; overnight oats. There's something both alluring and elegant mixing up a bowl before bed and having a filling and delicious breakfast waiting on you. There are two types of preparation. The original begins with oats and goes from there. But there's another kind, I call it overnight eats, because the oats are optional.
You'll need a 12-ounce jar (for on-the-go) or a cereal bowl (for home consumption) Add ½ cup old-fashioned oats.
Pour 1 cup liquid over them.
Once your jar is loaded to your taste, seal tightly and shake; if in a bowl, give it a good stir. Place in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or up to 3 days. When ready to eat, uncover, stir, and add a little milk if it's too stiff.
Instead of milk, use a 1 cup of yogurt of your choice. Because it's thicker, you don't need the oats. You can also go savory. Add cheese, sautéed veggies, bacon or sausage, and instead of milk, use stock. Then top it with a poached egg; which you can also make the night before. Just give it a light poach. Then, in the morning just float it in simmering water for a minute or less to heat and finish cooking. So, I have succumbed to a viral sensation. But I swear on my cranky little heart that I have not, and never will pinstergram my breakfast.

David Foster Wallace: Rhetorical Analysis (RCL 4)
Riley has spent her whole life believing that her older sister, Lisa, died tragically as a teenager. This means that it is all about having the choice of what we can think about. I find new meaning with each read. Why yell at the driver that cut you off and is weaving in and out of traffic. What is the connection between the inventor James Dyson and the footballer David Beckham? I personally appreciate that Wallace, unlike so many public speakers, never coddles his audience. And look at how deeply and personally unfair this is.
David Foster Wallace Summary
The two people look at the situation of the story differently because the atheist did not feel that God had come to his side to help him. It is this obvious scenario which is never discussed in commencement speeches. Probably the most dangerous thing about an academic education —least in my own case —is that it enables my tendency to over-intellectualise stuff, to get lost in abstract argument inside my head, instead of simply paying attention to what is going on right in front of me, paying attention to what is going on inside me. It just depends what you want to consider. His descriptions about how he relates to the character and how he aspires to become an intellectual were very insightful and added a personal touch to the essay.
David Foster Wallace, This Is Water Essay
None of this stuff is really about morality or religion or dogma or big fancy questions of life after death. This quote I believe is made more true and easier to understand when you are in your teens like me and want to be your own person. Some of these people may be harboring horrific childhood memories and it's all they can do to keep from jumping off a building. Please don't worry that I'm getting ready to lecture you about compassion or other-directedness or all the so-called virtues. It can be easy to spend our entire lives accepting our natural default ways of thinking rather than choosing to look differently at life. Velasco Paola Velasco English 12 H 25 Aug 2014 Summer Reading Assignment Part I In his commencement speech to the Kenyon College class of 2005, David Foster Wallace defines the true purpose of a liberal arts education.
Summary of David Foster Wallace's Commencement Speech at Kenyon College
We rarely think about this sort of natural, basic self-centredness because it's so socially repulsive. Dobby's sinister predictions seem to be coming true. Even then they would find that some of the words Wallace used were not listed in many smaller dictionaries. I felt as though he did this to emphasize and highlight certain words that he wanted the reader to remember. And who are all these people in my way? It explores how we all - consciously and unconsciously - choose guides, mentors and heroes throughout our lives and examines the new perspectives they can bring. The experience received is in the eye of the beholder.
"Consider the Lobster" by David Foster Wallace : Student Led Discussion
It is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend life and fulfills my bigger mission to spread healthy habits and help others realize their full potential. Wallace was born in Ithaca, New York, to his parents, James Wallace and Sally Foster. All these ideas are motions that makes Wallace present a more clearer point of view on evoking emotion, animal cruelty but also informing the people who does not care or think about the lobster. Because we prize tolerance and diversity of belief, nowhere in our liberal arts analysis do we want to claim that one guy's interpretation is true and the other guy's is false or bad. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they're evil or sinful, it's that they're unconscious. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a little child.
David Foster Wallace: In His Own Words by David Foster Wallace
The writer used logical and emotional appeals to argue on the importance of critical thinking. Wallace concludes his speech reminding the graduates they have a choice throughout life to sometimes reset that default switch. I am not the wise old fish. This is my book summary of This is Water by David Foster Wallace. I was most able to relate to these questions, understand them and formulate well thought out answers.
This is Water: What David Foster Wallace wanted us to think about
So the checkout line is incredibly long, which is stupid and infuriating. He explains that the way we all currently think leads to a self-absorbed mind that ultimately leads to a stressed and unhappy life. He then goes on to prove that wrong by discussing how lobsters exhibit preference and graphically paints the picture of what exactly happens when you boil a lobster alive, speaking on the way lobsters attempt to escape the boiling water as you or I would do. Or can it be explained by science? And the truth is that most of these suicides are actually dead long before they pull the trigger. Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear.
www.crichub.com
The only choice we get is what to worship. Battle Scars tells the story of his career as an elite operator, from the gunfights, hostage rescues, daring escapes and heroic endeavours that defined his service to a battle of a very different kind: the psychological devastation of combat that ultimately forced him to leave the military and the hard reality of what takes place in the mind of a man once a career of imagined invincibility has come to an end. It saddens me to think we won't get to experience any new thoughts from this brilliant mind. Twenty years after my own graduation, I have come gradually to understand that the liberal arts cliché about teaching you how to think is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. Riley MacPherson is returning to her childhood home in North Carolina. You are, of course, free to think of it whatever you wish. We get stuck in this day-to-day because our default setting has us standing in the center of the universe and that our own feelings and needs should dictate the surrounding priorities.
The point here is that I think this is one part of what teaching me how to think is really supposed to mean. Stated as an English sentence, of course, this is just a banal platitude, but the fact is that in the day to day trenches of adult existence, banal platitudes can have a life or death importance, or so I wish to suggest to you on this dry and lovely morning. It took me forever to track down a full transcript of this speech. There are three main chemical pulping processes. As shared in my opening paragraph, as much as I admire and am inspired by David Foster Wallace, the figure that I intend to cut as an intellectual differs from the figure represented in the essay. Plus, there's the whole matter of arrogance. Second, the interviews were much harder to hear, the microphones were lousy and distant unlike the majority of the book which sounds like he read it in a studio, loud and crisp.
David Foster Wallace: In His Own Words Audiobook
In fact, they face the taboo subject of teen pregnancy. He is provocative in the way he challenges the reader and forces him to think. But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talk about much in the great outside world of wanting and achieving. It just depends what you want to consider. The point of the fish story is merely that the most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about.

Your Injuries May Have Been Caused by Truck Driver Fatigue. Work with Our Firm to Seek Proper Compensation.
Talk to Our Greenville Truck Accident Lawyers About Your Case Today!
The result of accidents involving commercial motor vehicles (CMV)s can be devastating. Any passenger cars in the collision are likely to be crushed with their occupants along with them. CMVs can weigh anywhere between 10,000 and 80,000 pounds, so they cause an enormous about of destruction when their drivers lose control of the vehicles. Survivors of such a crash can experience catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord damage and traumatic brain injury. Likewise, one of the most common causes of these accidents is driver fatigue. Falling asleep at the wheel or being fatigued was cited as the number 1 truck driver impairment in 2013.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) created the hours of service to help truck drivers avoid fatigue-related accidents. Although many CMV drivers claim they know when they are getting drowsy, studies have shown people aren't good at estimating their own exhaustion levels. Some people exhibit symptoms of fatigue, such as yawning and rapid blinking, before they fall asleep, while others might nod off without displaying these warning signs.
If a truck driver violates the hours of service, he or she is going against federal regulations. It is likely that you will be able to successfully pursue a personal injury lawsuit if the crash was caused by the driver's fatigue.

It's that time of year again, and school is back in session for a lot of areas around in the country. The Upper Adams School District in Pennsylvania is no different, and with the new school year starting, the school district is debuting new technology that will allow them, and parents, to keep track of their children.
Beginning this year, this district will be implementing an upgraded two-way radio system that has a GPS in order to help them track their school buses. The buses had analog radios for several years, however, the district claims the drivers would often encounter "dead spots" where communication wasn't possible.
Supervisor of Administrative Services, Dennis Cope wanted to ensure school bus drivers were able to have communication at all times, ensuring the safety of the students.
However, since implementing the digital radios, drivers say they encounter fewer dead zones. The GPS feature allows administrators to see the locations of the buses, as well as the times of when they come and go. Administrators can also view reports to see if the drivers are speeding.
According to the district, signals are encrypted, allowing the school to communicate with the county and township, but preventing others from hacking into the system. The administrators hope the new two-radio communication systems provides greater security and peace of mind for students and especially parents. For example, if a student's bus doesn't arrive on time, the school simply has to take at look at the GPS system in order to find the bus' location.
Communication systems are an essential aspect of our lives, especially in the workplace. Effective and clear communication ensures the safety of employees, as well as allows the day-to-day operations of a business to run smoothly.
Working in remote areas can be difficult, due to their desolate locations. Similar to the school buses encountering dead zones, remote work sites such as oil rigs and construction sites, often require special equipment, such as mobile communication towers and construction two way radios in order to stay connected. Now, more than ever, we have several different ways of establishing communication even in the most remote of areas.

Sen. Flake gets emotional over losing McCain
Sen. Jeff Flake remembers friend and colleague Sen. John McCain, his fellow Republican from Arizona.
Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake teared up Sunday morning when discussing his colleague Sen. John McCain's legacy, less than a day after the elder statesman's death.
"It's tough. I'm going to miss him," Flake said, visibly emotional after CNN's Jake Tapper replayed footage on "State of the Union" of McCain praising Flake on the Senate floor after the then-junior Arizona senator announced his decision not to run for re-election.
"I've admired him ... my entire life, and it's tough to imagine the Senate without him," he said. "It's tough to imagine politics without John McCain, but we need to go on."
Flake said that he was with McCain on Friday to say goodbye, and to thank McCain's family. He stressed that McCain's "voice for civility" was especially important this past year.
"His voice was important, has been for years, but never more important than the past year," Flake said. "It's tough to have a voice like that silenced -- this voice for civility, to put the country above your party, these are things that he taught for years and never more important than the last year."
Flake also said that he "admired" McCain's dramatic "no" vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act in July of last year despite voting the other way, as well as McCain's emphasis on senators working together across party lines.
"He spoke to the Senate at that time, about how we needed to come together and not just do things in a partisan way," Flake added. "That was his biggest issue with that approach that we were taking, that it wasn't a bipartisan approach.
"John McCain is quintessential Arizonan -- he's a maverick, he's independent. I didn't vote the same way he did, but I admired him for doing what he did," Flake said.

Photo enforced traffic citations violate drivers' due process rights.
Red-light cameras have been installed in cities across Texas and the nation under the pretense of promoting safe driving but, in reality, the automated devices are little more than another vehicle for municipalities to rob citizens of their money.
Photo enforced traffic citations violate drivers' due process rights. Cities don't have to prove who was driving the ticketed cars, and wrongly accused drivers aren't able to fight charges in front of a jury trial.
Further yet, studies have shown the cameras lead to no improvements in safety, as drivers are quicker to unsafely slam on their brakes ahead of intersections, potentially increasing the rate of accidents.
Bills to end the use of red-light cameras have failed to be passed out of the legislature. In the most recent legislative session, a ban bill authored by State Sen. Bob Hall (R–Edgewood) passed the Texas Senate with bipartisan support — after it was amended to exclude school bus stop-arm cameras — but died in the House.
Fortunately for Texas motorists, the legislation may have a better chance of passing this year, after receiving the high-profile endorsement of Gov. Greg Abbott. The issue is also currently before the Texas Supreme Court.

Brand South Africa embraces Global Dignity Day and Play Your Part Schools Clubs
JOHANNESBURG, Tuesday 15 October 2013 – Brand South Africa will join Africa Empowered to bring communities on board, to support teenagers to stay in school, through the Global Dignity Play Your Part Schools' Club Programme. The partnership will be launched on 16 October at the Umtata Christian School in the Eastern Cape to coincide with Global Dignity Day.
The programme, which aims to encourage a community-centric approach to the socio-economic, academic and entrepreneurial development of learners, will emphasise South Africa's commitment to education, which is also articulated in the National Development Plan.
As part of the proceedings learners will share their experiences, having been part of this programme. Learners will be encouraged to play their part for the growth and development of our country by staying in school and using all opportunities available to advance their learning and skills development. This will be critical to ensuring that South Africa's future is assured, by developing the youths' skills base for a competitive and inclusive economy.
This partnership comes in the wake of the 2013 One Young World Summit which brought together 1,500 global youth leaders who deliberated on, amongst others, key issues that impact on their leadership abilities. Critical amongst these is the need for quality education and skills development.
Media are invited as follows:
Date: Wednesday 16 October 2013
Venue: Umtata Christian School
898 Errol Spring Ave,
Time: 10h30 – 14h00
The day's events will include an address by Brand South Africa's Civil Society Manager, Leo Makgamathe, as well as poetry and rap performances by young people who are part of the Global Dignity Play Your Part Schools' Club Programme.
"These young people are inspiring because they are serious about the future they would like to build for themselves and their peers. They have displayed initiative and leadership abilities, which will be key to realising the development goals outlined in the National Development Plan and Vision 2030. After all, today's youth will make up the workforce of 2030, so their input and involvement is crucial," said Mr Makgamathe.
What is the Global Dignity Play Your Part Schools' Club?
The Global Dignity Play Your Part Schools' Club has created a network of learners who are organised into clubs in their high schools, in various provinces around the country. These learners immerse themselves in projects that aim to instil dignity in themselves and others, while at the same time uplifting their communities. The programme comes at a time when there has been an increase in the number of violent incidences in some of the country's schools. This initiative aims to restore dignity in the classroom. The programme was launched in various high schools in February 2013. Currently, over 600 learners countrywide are part of the network.
This intervention involves various stakeholders, who are brought onboard to ensure that learners obtain the necessary support to excel and focus in their academic and social lives. The top 50 learners per club, who are academically successful and have demonstrated leadership potential, are empowered with skills to help them become change agents in their communities. The initiative speaks to the spirit of Brand South Africa's Play Your Part programme, which aims to mobilise all citizens to play their part, to improve the lives of others.
Global Dignity Day
As part of the Global Dignity Play Your Part Schools' Club programme, Global Dignity Day is observed annually on 17 October, and seeks to rope in World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders, role models and thousands of volunteers to celebrate Dignity Days. On these days, the young Global Leaders speak to and encourage youth in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. The aim is to instil a new, positive, inclusive and interconnected sense of value in young people that will guide them as they grow up.
About Brand South Africa
Brand South Africa is the official marketing agency of South Africa, with a mandate to build the country's brand reputation, in order to improve its global competitiveness abroad. Its aim is also to build pride and patriotism among South Africans, in order to contribute to social cohesion and nation brand ambassadorship.

I woke up around 3am to strong wind. It lasted an hour or so and stopped. I wonder if that's a regular pattern out here. Since I wasn't sleeping through the wind, I took that time to finish up yesterday's blog entry. I have to say that I am happy with the new format of the blog now that I've switched over to WordPress, but the app for posting from a phone is terribly time consuming! Because of technical things I don't need to delve into, I have to run my photos through another app so the files aren't too large and they upload faster to the blog. Another completely different issue is that the app only allows me to upload photos if I'm online at the time. My old app through blogger had less quality results, but allowed me to put the photos in the offline draft so that all I had to do was hit send when I got service. Now, I have to load each photo individually when I have service. To be able to keep it all organized, I have to put the photos in daily folders (after running them through an app that reduces the size for quicker loading). When I get service, I have to plop down and take at least 15mins to load all the photos one at a time and add captions. Just organizing the photos for this process is tiring me each night, so I've been going to sleep many nights before I finish writing and finishing them in the morning or during a break during the day when I'm more awake and efficient. The end result looks great, but it's cutting into my show watching in my tent this season and eating up more battery. Not cool. It also isn't helping that it's dark by 7pm out here. It takes me longer to do my nightly chores in the dark and I fall asleep a lot quicker. The days are getting longer, so that will improve.
I finished up blog stuff around 4:30am and fell asleep again until sunrise. I watched it rise from my tent and lazily laid there (I'm still lethargic from my period) and left camp at 7:30am, which is late for me. I have been telling myself I have time and I get to sleep in, but I think I'm going to get up a bit earlier at least the next couple days. I don't love moving in the early morning, but I do like the relaxed time during the day that an early start affords me. What I really don't like about a later start is that it takes away a buffer for unexpected things that might happen in a day. That's what happened to me today and I didn't reach my intended endpoint, so now I need to make it up over the next couple of days. I kick myself for not getting up earlier and will tomorrow.
Just 2.5mi/5km into today was an option to do a bonus side loop hike that was 5.2mi/8.4km. It was called the Pound Walk with Ormiston Gorge. So many people spoke highly of this loop that I decided to do it. I figured I have plenty of time this week, so I may as well see what I can. The hike took me almost two hours. I ditched my pack in the woods so I wouldn't have to carry it for the loop and it felt amazing to walk without a pack on the trail. I have to say that I DO NOT recommend the full loop for Larapinta walkers. It was more of the same of what I've been seeing except for the last bit that went through Ormiston Gorge. I will go through more gorges on the actual Larapinta, but this one was cool to see. It's just really rare to have natural water holes out here, so I think that's why it draws so many tourists. Unfortunately, I did have to walk through water once and I got my shoes wet. If I was to give advice to another Larapinta walker, I'd say just do the loop that goes into the gorge and up to a viewpoint. The water was low enough on that section (right now at least) that you'd get the experience without taking more than about an hour I think.
When I finished, I saw Peter at the visitors center next to the trailhead. He was waiting on his ride to Alice Springs (he hurt his ankle) and will be heading to Uluru. Peter treated me to a coffee, which I don't drink, and we tried for a chocolate milk, but the closest they had was iced chocolate. They made me Cadbury chocolate in water with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and ice. It was something very new for me. Check me out trying new things!
I had an early lunch and dried out my shoes in the sun while I visited with Peter. He's into IT stuff and had the guidebook on pdf and was able to airdrop it to me (in case I lose mine!). I might get to see Peter again around Christmas when I'm near Wellington in NZ. I was also able to plug some things in to charge. That was big since I've gotten more service than I expected and was conserving battery with how long I'm out here. Maybe I'll have enough time and battery to watch some shows the latter half of this hike.
When I left Ormiston Gorge, it started the longest gap in water thus far. It was 9.3mi/15km to a small pool of water (my first natural source, not from a tank) that would be in another gorge. I saw a trio of Larapinta hikers hiking westbound as I left Ormiston and no one after that. It was fairly brutal hiking in the afternoon with strong sun and very rocky uphill hiking that made for a slow pace. I was dripping sweat and mistakenly only took one liter of water for that stretch. I made it fine, but would have liked more water. Still though, my pack is quite heavy and felt like it was really pushing me down into the ground today in the heat. I'm just not 100% and my monthly lethargy with my period isn't helping. It was tough and exhausting getting up to Giles Lookout. After some rocky switchbacks, the "trail" followed a cool ridge that was also quite rocky.
It was painful on the feet and jarring walking on unfriendly rocks. I listened to music to distract myself best I could from the discomfort.
Check out the sign at the lookout. I could get used to this!
I spent 45mins online loading the blog and catching up on things. I booked my room at the hostel now that I for sure know my timing and the smaller room was already booked. I'll be in the dorm room with 7 other women, dang! Yes, my earplugs will come in handy there I'm sure. Earplugs never work really well for me, but are better than nothing. I was really thirsty with just a couple gulps of water to get me to the next source 1.2mi/2km away and was wishing I had an extra liter up there to down. Just as I was finishing up, it started to rain a bit and a rainbow appeared. This dang trail. It gives me hours of brutal hiking and then a gorgeous view and internet to make me completely makeup for it and make me forget about it!
I hustled down best I could but the rocks were even worse and terrain even steeper, so it was slow going. There is a lot of this to be expected on the Larapinta. It's a tough hike and will give me a good challenge for sure.
Rocky descent from Giles Lookout.
Just as I was swearing the trail and greatly parched, I looked up to see an even grander rainbow! Yep, I've got your number Larapinta. I see what you're doing.
I got to Waterfall Gorge, which deceivingly has a dry falls. There is a small pool of murky water to be found if you hike up the gorge a bit off the trail. Thankfully, I knew this from Peter who had understandably rolled his ankle coming down Giles and camped there. Also, Buck-30 mentioned finding water there in his journal back when he did this hike. I have his journal saved to my phone as a resource and it's been great for knowing what to expect. If it wasn't for this source, it would have been 18mi/29km between sources instead of the difficult 9mi/15km I had today.
More rocks in the gorge.
Waterfall Gorge and the small murky pool of water.
It was quite time consuming to get to the water and scoop it out and bring it back down. By the time I finished, the clouds were really getting dark and I realized I should stop early instead of heading to my more exposed intended stopping point for the day about an hour away. It was 5:45pm and I set up camp quick as the clouds came in and wind kicked up. Just twenty minutes after I got the tent up, thunder rolled and the rain came down. I was so glad I had made the right decision to stop when I did!
It rained for 40mins and came down really hard for 15mins. The rain was so hard and wind so strong that I was steadying my tent by holding the poles. This tent is amazing and stuck it out great! I had my one dehydrated meal I was saving for a night like tonight when I didn't want to cook and clean and it was greatly enjoyed. I need to find more of these out here. I miss my easy Mountain House dinners, which can't be bought here. I need to look into what they do sell here for dehydrated dinners.
Welp, that's it for this tough day. Tomorrow looks to be just as rocky and slow going, so I'm going to get up a bit earlier and hopefully make more progress to make up some of what I lost today. The weather is all over the place the rest of the week it seems and I think that will greatly determine my mileage each day. I was hoping the rain would cool things off, but it's still quite warm and muggy making for sticky sleeping. Whew, I'm tired!
In the US there are so many dehydrated food options … there must be something you can find. Wish I could have sent you some of the big food-service size #10 cans with you!
I would have LOVED to bring those and maybe I could have. I just didn't want to buy it and risk it being taken away. I did just get some of the dehydrated meals out here and I'll be testing them out for half my meals this coming month on the Bibbulmun.
September is Emergency Preparedness month in the US with lots of sales happening online. I did a few quick searches on freeze-dried meals made for distribution in Australia and found three brands: Outdoor Gourmet Company, Back Country Cuisine, Happy Camper Gourmet. Here is a link to what looks like a major outdoor supplier too!
I did get a bunch of Backcountry Cuisines and one Outdoor Gourmet to try out for the Bib. They are pricier than ours in the US and look less bulky. We'll see if they do the trick.
Those rocks look gruesome, Yikes! Are you enjoying a harvest moon in the southern hemisphere?
It was pretty great! No headlamp needed at all.
Australia has four brands of dehydrated food: Happy Camper, The Outdoor Gourmet, Back Country Cuisine, and Camp Cooking to the Extreme. The prices are comparable to Mountain House after adjusting for the exchange rate.
They are a bit pricier, but I did decide to test out the Backcountry Cuisine and one Outdoor Gourmet for the Bib. Half my meals will be these over the next month and it will be a good test run. I miss my Mountain House!
That country looks so much like Arizona it's amazing.
That's what many are saying. It just feels so vast compared to what I remember in Arizona.
The rainbows are beautiful and the trail looks challenging and the weather seems to like to keep you on your toes!! Good luck with the remainder of this trail.
Plenty of options for local dehydrated foods in Oz.
Or the local hiking camp shop in Alice has stock to try.
I decided to go with some Backcountry Cuisine ones for the Bib and will be reporting how those compare.
The rainbow pics are awesome!
Try Strive Good. Local Tasmanian company. Good quality at reasonable price.
YOu looking for anything Hiking (or as we call it in OZ; Bushwalking or in NZ Tramping) go to a great forum.
Well, this wired trail suits Wired just fine! (except for the rocks, argghhh) The rainbows are beautiful and I did notice the resemblance of the surrounding country to Arizona that Farwalker mentioned. It is quite beautiful. How did the Chocy milk float taste?
I don't know how you ever find the time each day to blog for us. Thank you for investing even more effort to include the high quality photos, too.
That said, perhaps you could get back some of that time — by uploading selected pics en-mass to a service like Google Photos or Apple Photos and just give us a link to them?
Or enlist one of us from your (ever growing!) fan base to insert them into the posts for you?
This also is a journal for myself that prints out as a nice keepsake, so I love the photos in the text.

Former Champ Fabricio Werdum Makes His Case for UFC Title Shot
Jeff Cain
Former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum has been on a mission to regain his status as champion since losing the belt to Stipe Miocic at UFC 198 in May 2016. His UFC Fight Night 121 win over Marcin Tybura o n Saturday put the Brazilian on a two-fight winning streak. Following the one-sided decision, Werdum called for a title shot and rematch with Miocic.
The 40-year-old Werdum has a storied history. He's fought in Pride FC, Strikeforce and the UFC over the course of his fifteen-year fighting career. He holds wins over legends, and believes that career accomplishments and overall resume should carry the most weight when deciding who will get the next title shot.
"I feel for sure that I deserve it because it's not just now just for this fight, or the last fight. It's for my, you know, I've beaten a lot of guys like Cain Velasquez, Fedor Emelianenko, Rodrigo Nogueira. I have a big history. I've been fighting for 20 years, not just now," said Werdum during the UFC Fight Night Sydney Post-fight Press Conference.
TRENDING > Ryan Benoit Shows Off Broken Hand Following Spectacular Head Kick KO Win (PHOTO)
Werdum is ranked No. 2 in the heavyweight division. A title shot isn't out of the question, but No. 1 ranked Alistair Overeem and No. 4 ranked Francis Ngannou face off in the UFC 218 co-main event on December 2. The winner of that fight will have a very strong argument to be the next title challenger. Werdum doesn't agree.
"Francis doesn't deserve it yet because he's just starting out. Overeem has a big history too, but I think I still deserve the title shot. I just want the opportunity and I'll show that I'm the best again," he said.

You may (or may not) be familiar with this blog by now. The TL;DR is that I talk a lot about my experiences with BFRBs (body focused repetitive behaviours); the main one being trichotillomania (pulling out my own hair), but I also struggle with dermatillomania (skin picking). For the past 4 years, my online rambles have been incredibly cathartic and helped me come to terms with the anxious whirl of thoughts that are constantly whizzing around my brain; it's allowed me to accept who I am with these BFRBs, grow as a person and gain a better understanding of the disorder and how it affects me. And, I hope, that it's helped some of you not to feel so alone!
But aside from its personal effects, sharing my random rants on the internet has led me to an incredible online community that I never knew existed. There is a world (wide web) of amazingly supportive and like-minded people out there, all going through similar things. Being connected to these people who will message saying 'I know how you feel', 'you'll get through this' or 'I'm experiencing the same at the moment' when I say I'm having a bad trich day gives me so much encouragement on a daily basis. My loved ones have always been greatly supportive, but being in touch with people like you, who just get it, is utterly invaluable to my well-being. To know there are others like me, to know what I'm doing isn't weird, to simply know that I'm not alone.
Today marks the start of BFRB Awareness Week; a time I am seeing as an opportunity. When I'm chatting to others with BFRBs about the disorders and I learn about how, why and what they do in relation to their BFRB, my understanding of the disorders and myself grows. I write a lot about myself on this site, and I want to start showcasing these other experiences over the next few weeks in an attempt to educate and bring further awareness, empower those with the disorder to unashamedly own their stories, and show others that there is no 'right' struggle. If there's one thing this has taught me, is that there is an enormous amount of similarities (almost to the point where other stories sound exactly like my own), but also a wealth of small differences in each of our stories which make us and our struggles so unique. And each of the similarities and variations are totally OK.
I think there can be great strength in collectively speaking out about experiences and sharing knowledge, so I really hope that the next few weeks can at least help reassure some of you going through a hard time right now that it is OK to struggle with a BFRB and that you're not going through this on your own. So, bring on the posts...and if you wanted to share yours (anonymously or not), please email me at prettyandpolishedblog@gmail.com.

Network is home to Emmy magnets "Veep" and "Silicon Valley," along with a number of freshman half-hours

HBO has two of TV's great comedies with "Veep" and "Silicon Valley." But does it have another to join their ranks?
HBO's biggest ratings success is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's "Ballers," which averaged 7.1 million viewers last season. Audiences (including Sen. Elizabeth Warren) clearly love it — but it hasn't earned the Emmy buzz of shows like "Silicon Valley" (which averaged 4.74 million this past season), "Girls" (4.17 million) or "Veep" (3.64).
"Girls" has bowed out after six seasons, leaving shows like Aziz Ansari's "Master of None" on Netflix and Donald Glover's "Atlanta" on FX to snag some of its millennial fans. Both, like "Girls," are strong Emmy contenders.

HBO could use a brightly burning new prospect, given that "Veep," coming off its widely acclaimed Season 6, is no longer the new kid on the block, and "Silicon Valley" will be without co-star T.J. Miller when it returns for its fifth season. Its recent half-hour additions include the Sarah Jessica Parker vehicle "Divorce" (which averaged 4.41 million viewers), Issa Rae's "Insecure" (3.6 million) and Pete Holmes' "Crashing" (2.61 million).
"They're definitely at a transition moment in that 'Girls' just left," Jason Mittell, professor of film and media culture at Middlebury College, told TheWrap. "'Silicon Valley' is solid but not a huge hit — and maybe there's a little bit more risk losing a main cast member. 'Veep' is long-running at this point — obviously, I think it's seen as creatively very strong — but it's not the new generation."
Saul Austerlitz, pop culture writer and author of the book "Sitcom," told TheWrap that HBO is making promising moves in the genre: "I would say they've introduced a bunch of new shows in the last year or two — at least some of them have peaked my interest personally and have a lot of potential for the future."

Asterlitz praises "Vice Principals," the Danny McBride comedy that launched in July 2016 and returns later this year for its second and supposedly final season. Asterlitz calls the ribald series "absolutely terrific and just extremely well done, and a show that's very much of the moment. So that felt to me like it was flying a little bit under the radar."
Mittell said that both "Insecure" and "High Maintenance" are "really interesting shows," although he added that neither is "hugely successful." He also appreciates that both were developed by the network from web series: "It shows another line of development."
"Insecure" returns for its second season on July 23, the same night that Dwayne Johnson's "Ballers" begins its third season. Both arrive a week after the drama "Game of Thrones," HBO's marquee show.

"'Game of Thrones' still casts the biggest shadow, and 'Westworld' was fairly successful — but I don't know if it will be able to sustain — and 'Leftovers' has finished up," said Mittell, co-author of the book "How to Watch Television." "So there aren't a lot of programs on HBO right now besides 'Game of Thrones' that you can say, 'This is the brand for the network.'"
He continued, "Every channel, every network needs to get a new hit every few years, and right now, I don't think HBO has a comedy hit in the works. I don't think that they are in a rocky place, but I don't think that they are in a highly developed and confident place with their comedies."
Bill Mesce, author of "Inside the Rise of HBO," is confident that HBO is doing what it takes to adjust and evolve.
"'Girls' was a signature, only-on-HBO kind of show, but it was not a huge ratings pillar for the service," Mesce told TheWrap. "If HBO has proven anything in its 55 years, it's its resiliency. They'll be fine."
HBO declined to comment on this story.
Top 20 Best HBO Original Series, From 'Six Feet Under' to 'Game of Thrones' (Photos)
There's a reason HBO is so often a major contender at the Emmys each year -- it has an amazing knack for creating a home for phenomenal and influential TV shows. The network's long history of great, groundbreaking TV means that even if you watch a lot of HBO, there's probably plenty you haven't seen.
20. "Tales from the Crypt"
A mix of dark comedy and "Twilight Zone"-esque horror, it's hard to deny that "Tales from the Crypt" had an influence on the resurgence of great horror TV shows we've been experiencing lately. It's a bit dated and a bit goofy, but "Tales" also still feels like a unique combination of elements. Plus, Crypt Keeper puns.
19. "The Leftovers"
If there's something writer Damon Lindelof can get to in his series, it's the emotional struggles of his characters. "The Leftovers" is all depression and melancholy after the "Sudden Departure," where 140 million people disappeared in a Rapture-like event. The people left behind are still trying to make life work, and their struggles capture humanity in an extraordinary circumstance.
18. "Mr. Show"
Bob Odenkirk and David Cross created an often weird sketch comedy show whose influences are still felt today. It's a bit of a cult comedy that has a unique voice and a willingness to push the envelope. "Mr. Show" also pulled in many great comedians who've since become much better known.
17. "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver"
John Oliver has mostly become known for his angry but hilarious rants against Donald Trump. But "Last Week Tonight" manages to find the jokes in the news every week, and offers that helpful bit of Jon Stewart-esque "No, you're not crazy, this is really happening" absurdity that can make it a little easier to cope with what's happening in the world.
16. "True Detective"
Though it struggled in its second season, "True Detective" benefits from star-studded casting and a willingness to let flawed characters breathe on screen. Especially in the first season, strong dialogue and believable performances catapult "True Detective" beyond the usual crime drama to become something special.
15. "Sex and the City"
Telling the stories of four women in New York, "Sex and the City" broadened portrayals and storylines for women, and was often hilarious in doing so. The show was nominated for 50 Emmys during its six-season run and took down seven, and managed to spawn two movies after the fact.
14. "Girls"
Lena Dunham's comedic look at New York Millennials trying to figure out their lives is consistently funny and off-beat, while digging into territory that other comedies might stay clear of. Though its critical reception can sometimes be fraught, the show also manages to tap elements that feel like part of the Millennial experience.
13. "Flight of the Conchords"
An off-beat comedy about two New Zealanders trying to make it as a novelty band in New York, "Flight of the Conchords" is full of awkward jokes and awesome songs. It's consistently hilarious and completely weird. Also, Jemaine Clement spends half of one episode playing a great David Bowie.
12. "Six Feet Under"
"Six Feet Under" is about death and trying to figure out life. Mixing drama with dark comedy, it's one of those series where the characters (living or dead) get under your skin. Though its subject matter means there's plenty of sadness, the efforts of a family to find themselves and carry each other through are always resonant as well.
11. "The Night Of"
"The Night Of" tells a depressing story of how easily life and the American legal system can get out of control. One bad night and protagonist Naz finds himself arrested for murder, thrown into the prison system and fighting for survival. "The Night Of" is a powerful look at how the effects of Naz's arrest ripple out to other people in his life.
10. "Westworld"
Sure, it took a while to get rolling, and maybe fans predicted every single twist. But "Westworld" is full of cool characters, robots achieving sentience, and people dying horribly. And don't forget the many power-grabs, political machinations, and robot uprisings.
9. "Deadwood"
You could call this "The Al Swearengen Show" and you wouldn't be far off the mark. "Deadwood" dives into the Western with a phenomenal cast, some genuinely funny writing, and a lot of frontier not-quite-legal drama. Life is not great in the Old West, but at least it's interesting to watch.
8. "Band of Brothers"
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks produced this 10-episode, character-driven account of an American paratrooper company in World War II. It's desperate, horrifying and hopeful by turns, capturing the conflict with an incredibly human look inside it.
7. "Insecure"
Issa Rae pulls comedy and relatability out of a host of topics, like struggling to figure out what she wants out of life, dealing with her career and her love life, and the expectations that come with being a black woman. The show adds perspective to the tough realities of modern life, while constantly being very funny.
6. "Veep"
A comedy about a clueless (vice) president just trying to get by was more of a cute idea last year. That said, "Veep" has a killer, hilarious cast and fast, funny writing, which is why it has won 12 Emmys (with 42 nominations) over its five seasons. Julia Louis-Dreyfus in particular is always phenomenal, but it's the speed and viciousness of the writing that makes "Veep" so fun.
5. "The Larry Sanders Show"
Another landmark comedy, Garry Shandling's series helped set the table for shows like "30 Rock," while also cementing HBO's place as a leader in quality TV. The series' satirical look behind the scenes of a fictional talk show is also hilarious in its own right, and garnered three Emmy wins and 56 nominations over six seasons.
4. "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
After "Seinfeld," co-creator Larry David went on to star in this series that's pretty much about always feeling awkward and dealing with annoyances. Everything about the show, from its tone to its improvised nature, elevates it among comedies. It's mostly funny because it feels like a slightly funnier version of real life.
3. "The Sopranos"
It's almost 20 years old, but there's a reason "The Sopranos" is still regarded as highly as it is. The story of Tony Soprano trying to figure out his life, deal with his family, balance a ruthless mobster business and take care of ducks helped kick off our current age of great television.
2. "The Wire"
"The Wire" isn't just a crime drama about the drug trade in Baltimore; it's the story of the city itself. The legendary show finds layers in its subject matter, and nothing is simple or cut-and-dried for its characters. Its cast is also amazing, filled with talented actors who lend their characters even more nuance and depth.
1. "Game of Thrones"
"Game of Thrones" starts with zombies, moves on to dragons, and is full of people stabbing each other in the back for years on end. Now we're about to have a dragon-backed all-out war and a ton of important characters are probably going to die. When you like a show to make you sad in a pretty exciting way, "Game of Thrones" stands ready.
The premium cable channel has launched some of the must-watch shows of our generation, here are just some of the ones you need to watch (or re-watch)


Some would argue that it shouldn't be unusual for an LGBT+ person to identify as an ally and wear the pin. They're wrong, though. Speaking as a member of the LGBT+ community, I find that being able to identify members of the majority who support LGBT+ people increases my sense of safety. It's comforting to know that you don't have to be a member of the community to think that the rights of those in it are worth protecting.

Let's talk about Thanksgiving. But first, let's talk about history.
We in the United States have a long history of mistreating our indigenous population. Whether we're discussing atrocities like the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which culminated in the Trail of Tears and the death of thousands of Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee, Chickasaw and Seminole tribes people, or examining the European-American image of "uncivilized" natives, the history of this country is inexorably tied to the repression and destruction of its indigenous population.

The answer to this question would seem blindingly obvious to those readers who are cisgender. For transgender readers, however, it is a confusing question with a potentially hazardous answer.
For transgender students like myself, the gender you identify as and your physical appearance may not always match. This is especially common early in the process of transitioning.

It's basic psychology: we're far better at accomplishing our goals through doing than not doing. So when opponents of gun control in Washington State were faced with an initiative that would slam a new layer of regulations on the gun trade, they knew they couldn't just tell people not to support it. No, they needed to enable their fellow gun rights supporters to do something.

How does Accessibility to Knowledge Sources affect the Innovativeness of Corporations? - Evidence from Sweden
Andersson, Martin

Ejermo, Olof
Olof Ejermo
The paper studies innovative performance of 130 Swedish corporations for 1993-94, using number of patents per corporation as a function of internal and external knowledge sources to the corporation. A coherent way of handling accessibility measures, within and between corporations located across regions is introduced. We examine the relative importance of intra- and interregional knowledge sources from (i) the own corporation, (ii) other corporations, and (iii) universities. The results show that there is a positive relationship between the innovativeness of a corporation and its accessibility to university researchers within regions where they have research. Having good accessibility between the corporation's research units does not have any significant effects on the production of patents. Instead the size of the R&D staff of the corporation seems to be the most internal factor. There is no visible indication that accessibility to other corporations' research is important for innovativeness. This suggests that knowledge flows, between firms belonging to different corporations are limited.
