Hidden Gem: Milwaukie Cafe and Bottle Shop
When I started writing Good Stuff NW almost twelve years ago, I had no agenda in mind. It was simply an exploration of the blog form as a useful tool in a marketing toolbox, marketing and advertising being my profession at the time. I wrote about this and that, convinced that no one but maybe my mom and a couple of friends would ever know about it (or care).
In those early years I wrote about trips to Seattle or a visit to a restaurant, maybe throwing in a farmers' market shopping trip or two. Definitely recipes and pictures of our first Corgi, Rosey. Gradually the blog took on a life of its own, gaining a small audience and a couple of calls from editors asking if I was interested in writing for them. A column on farmers' markets, a profile here and there.
Look for the mural.
Eventually, as I learned about the concerns of Oregon farmers and the hard work they do to bring food to market, those concerns started making their way into these posts. Restaurant visits waned somewhat, and reports from the legislature in Salem and other issues began to take precedence. (Recipes and Corgis remained.)
But once in awhile I run across a truly remarkable spot, a hidden gem if you will, that deserves mention.
A friend and her husband recently moved to the Milwaukie area and, wanting to meet for coffee, she suggested the Milwaukie Cafe and Bottle Shop, located off the (or any) beaten track in the Ardenwald neighborhood east of Sellwood. The nondescript stucco building would be easy to miss were it not for the large, colorful mural adorning its side wall, attributed to the talents of Jerry Schmidt and the North Clackamas Arts Guild.
Funky but sincere is one way to describe the ambience of the place, but a glance at the menu ran up against my initial hippie-homey impression. Polenta bowls? Brisket and collards? Homemade biscuits?
What have we here?
I ordered a coffee—Water Avenue is their bean of choice, another "Hmmmm…" moment—and a biscuit with butter and honey. A plate soon arrived, the biscuit halved, the top aslant, brimming with butter, swimming in a pool of honey. A bite through the crunchy crust, a light, buttery, not-too-salty crumb, and I was in.
Checking the website for more info, I found it's the result of the collaboration of two Portland food names, Chauncey Roach and Shea Pirtle, both Nostrana alums with long resumés in local food. So, friends, before the word gets out, I'd get in while the getting's good. The location may keep folks from flocking in too quickly, but I'm pretty sure it'll hit the skillet soon.

text: by Neil Gaiman The Graveyard Book is about a boy named Nobody Owens (often shortened to Bod) who was adopted by the ghosts in a graveyard after his family was killed. He has to learn the secret abilities of the dead, but once he leaves the graveyard, he has to confront the man who killed his family. The Graveyard Book was very thrilling and ominous, but still had humor and was hard to put down once I started. I personally liked its compelling and well-done artwork, which really matched the atmosphere of the book. It is definitely one of the more creepy books, but anyone who can accept that will be satisfied. I highly recommend it.

Cross-Examination by Mr Tajdin.
Q. Okay. How many of the farman books I have printed you have at your home either in Nairobi or in Toronto?

MR. GRAY: So you would like a colour photograph of the cover of this document, this draft book?
MR. TAJDIN: Yes. I would like to see if it is white or it is burgundy. Just a colour photo.

Will Smith to Take Manhattan on a Joyride Across the Ocean
I'm not sure about this Will, it sounds very After Earth 'esque. And while I'm sure Willow is lovely, DON'T.EVEN.THINK.ABOUT.IT!
That bit where Bugs Bunny takes a handsaw to the state of Florida, casting it forth into the sea? Will Smith and director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum, Real Steel, The Internship) are gonna do that to Manhattan in City That Sailed. (No way this movie's not getting a The before the title at some point.) When Smith began eyeing the project in 2009, it was about a street magician breaking the island off and guiding it to London to reunite with his daughter; the new description says it'll involve a father and daughter captaining the metropolis together. Either way, you're imagining 13-year-old Willow Smith for the part, even though she hasn't demonstrated as much love for the making-blockbusters-with-dad pastime as Jaden has. That's fine. Let's go straight to 10-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis, who honed her fantasy chops in 2012's Beasts of the Southern Wild before scooping up the Annie remake's lead role … from Willow.

Schmidt's Pub is so quaint and cozy it makes smoking seem cool again. There are probably bigger smoke shops around, but Schmidt's unique atmosphere sets it apart. It's a house converted into a tobacco shop and pub, with comfy chairs and a fireplace inside. The cashier tracks purchases by making handwritten notations in a ledger. There's a handful of beers on tap from Guinness to Stella Artois ($3.75 a pint) which you can sip while smoking a pack of unfiltered Gitanes cigs ($6.75). Of course, you can't smoke any of the imported European cigs or leafy pipe tobacco that you've just purchased inside the pub. However, there's a decent amount of seating outside where you can smoke without having to worry about offending any sensitive noses.

Skip to 0 minutes and 0 seconds It is possible for patients to travel abroad. We know that fertility tourism has been on a rise, because of certain procedures that we can do, but we are not allowed to do for patients here For example, sexing of embryos, it is possible to do and you know the UK is fantastic at providing that procedure but only for patients that have got genetic disease because it is not allowed for social reasons to be done in the UK. So patients that want family balancing, for example, if they have a child of a particular sex and want another child of a different sex, they can do that and that usually happens through, fertility tourism when they go abroad and do it.
Skip to 0 minutes and 46 seconds So therefore it takes away that kind of business away from the UK and maybe into another country abroad. And what is really important is if that is the sole reason for patients for doing that they really need to be sure of the clinic that they go to and do their the information-gathering way beforehand and perhaps even visit the clinics to see how they run. Another reason we have these tourism is because of the anonymity rules that we have in the UK with regards to sperm and donor eggs, which has meant that obviously we do at times have a shortage, especially for the egg donation programs.
Skip to 1 minute and 27 seconds And therefore patients frequently go to places like Spain, not to have to wait on a long waiting list to be able to find an egg donation program that can do it very fast for them over there. Again, there are some very good clinics abroad however, I think the egg sharing in the UK is now picking up within the clinics and is trying to address that issue, with finding patients who don't have a problem with producing a number of eggs that we, you know, need and they can actually produce extra and share it with someone else that is unfortunately not able to produce their own eggs.
Skip to 2 minutes and 9 seconds So therefore, we can see that we are trying to address these problems because it is not just the cost of them. going abroad but it is going to a country that they are not familiar with. They have to spend weeks there sometimes to be able to treated. And also you know, not being able to build that relationship with within that country that they go to. Sometimes there are language barriers. That makes it very, very tough for the patients.
Skip to 2 minutes and 37 seconds So in the UK we are trying to do our best knowing that infertility is on a rise, that we are trying to do our best to try and keep the patients in their homeland and try and help them as much as possible.
Reasons for going abroad for treatment
Embryologist Saghar Kasiri has worked in fertility clinics in several countries, and has spoken to many couples who have travelled across the world to access reproductive care.
Despite the international fertility industry being a successful, booming industry, it is also fraught with problems. Creating life involves fundamental questions of identity and heart. Saghar here discusses a few of the challenges that women and couples face when they travel abroad to have fertility treatment.
One of the complexities of the cross-border reproductive care is that it involves several different legal systems. Virtually every country has different laws about fertility issues, and this is one of the challenges both prospective parents and fertility providers face.
Another example is the potential lack of familiarity with the language and local practice. Fertility practises vary from country to country and so it's important to do proper research before going.
For your discussion: What do you think are the most pressing issues that come with seeking fertility treatment abroad? What do you think some of the pitfalls could be?

The State Department's latest study — the product of more than five years of investigation — largely confirms the conclusions of previous assessments and those of many independent energy experts: Allowing the firm TransCanada to build Keystone XL, which would run across the Canadian border to Steele City, Neb., is unlikely to have significant effects on climate-change-causing greenhouse gas emissions. The real downside to rejecting the project concerns jobs (construction would create at least several thousand), relations with Canada and the message that arbitrary decision-making would send to investors and other nations."
Keystone report from State Dept. puts common sense back in the pipeline

Wisdom. Intuition. Self Compassion. Energy. Resilience
Are you feeling stressed, tired, out of balance? Have your attempts at feeling in control in your life been unsuccessful? Do you know what you want but can't quite figure out how to get there?
As a W.I.S.E.R Woman coach I help you identify what is preventing you from creating balance in your life, reaching your goals and feeling good about yourself.
Through 1-1 and small group coaching I teach the tools and techniques needed to reach and maintain your goals. Whether it's creating a healthier lifestyle (including losing weight), changing direction, navigating life's transitions, or balancing your values and needs, you can achieve the life you crave.
With years of coaching and counselling experience, I help you explore and change how you think and feel, create new habits and let go of existing patterns that no longer serve you. With support, clarity, practice and determination you can become the person you've always wanted to be.
W.I.S.E.R Woman, symbolic of our inner resources and strengths, was created during a time when I was out of balance and needed to make some changes. The "answer" is never outside of us. True change only happens when we look within to use and trust our inner resources and take meaningful action.
Join me to become an even W.I.S.E.R Woman.
Curious about my logo?
The moon pendant pulls together symbols of the moon and moonstone, both feminine symbols reflecting inner wisdom, intuition, clarity of mind, compassion, the rhythm of time, and the natural phases of life.
We are reminded of the power of our inner resources to create positive, lasting change within us, and adapt and strengthen who we are at each phase of life.
The Romans believed that the moonstone helped keep the mind clear so that wise choices could be made and intuition enhanced - it was thought to be a "talisman of the inward journey" (Simmons, 267) and protection for travelers.
The moon pendant, was created by my cousin, Connie Jensen (Trifolium Jewellry and Books).
W.I.S.E.R Woman invites you to go on that inward journey.

Marlin Gold Mining Ltd (TSXV:MLN), a metals and mining company based in Canada, received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the TSXV in the over the last few months. Less-covered, small caps tend to present more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Let's examine Marlin Gold Mining's valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there's still a bargain opportunity. Check out our latest analysis for Marlin Gold Mining
Is Marlin Gold Mining still cheap?Marlin Gold Mining is currently overpriced based on my relative valuation model. I've used the price-to-book ratio in this instance because there's not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows, and its earnings doesn't seem to reflect its true value. The stock's ratio of 8.98x is currently well-above the industry average of 1.08x, meaning that it is trading at a more expensive price relative to its peers. If you like the stock, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential price decline in the future. Given that Marlin Gold Mining's share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
What kind of growth will Marlin Gold Mining generate?Future outlook is an important aspect when you're looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it's the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With revenues expected to grow by a double-digit 15.71% in the upcoming year, the outlook is positive for Marlin Gold Mining. If the level of expenses is able to be maintained, it looks like higher cash flows is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in Marlin Gold Mining's positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe Marlin Gold Mining should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping tabs on Marlin Gold Mining for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its industry peers, which means it is likely that there is no more upside from mispricing. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for Marlin Gold Mining, which means it's worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
Price is just the tip of the iceberg. Dig deeper into what truly matters – the fundamentals – before you make a decision on Marlin Gold Mining.

Nuclear Scintigraphy (Bone Scanning)
We designed a purpose built scintigraphy room and installed a gamma camera as part of our facilities at the Brooke Equine Clinic. This is housed alongside two stables specifically as an isolation unit.
Since its installation scintigraphy has proved very useful, in particular:
- In horses or ponies with multilimb lameness for which a work up would prove extremely lengthy and difficult
- Suspected fracture cases as a bone scan is extremely sensitive for these and can pick up hairline fractures where an X-ray may not
- Horses with suspected dental problems. Bone scan will show sites that are currently actively inflamed
- To image parts of the body that are difficult to investigate and X-ray. For example the pelvis and hips
- Animals not suited to using needles in their legs!
A labeled radioactive isotope – Techenetium99 is injected in to the horse. This attaches to sites where bone is remodelling; where bone metabolism is increased there will be an increased amount of isotope attahced. The camera picks up these areas of increased bone turnover as increased radioactive uptake or 'hot spots'.
If your horse is having a Bone Scan:
We like to have the horse in the day before to allow it to settle in and so that we can start early the following morning. Please bring a few thick rugs and 4 stable bandages and gamgee as we rug and stable bandage the horse overnight to ensure good circulation.
On the day of the bone scan horses are lunged in our arena until warm, fully rugged and bandaged, and then have an intravenous catheter inserted in to the jugular vein.
In cases where lunging is not possible they stand under some heat lamps until warm, this ensures good circulation to all parts of the body, enabling the best possible images.
Once injected with the isotope, the horse remains in the stable for 2 hours prior to starting scanning.
Although a safe procedure, to comply with radiation regulations horses are kept in an isolation stable and allowed to go home approximately 60 hours after injection, or when they are sufficiently un-radioactive.

"I actually got it in a gift bag and I am such a beauty junkie, I always try everything that's in a gift bag," Emmy told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
"I first noticed that it was a natural product. My history with natural products is that I love the idea of them but they don't usually work — when I tried this, I could feel an immediate difference in my skin from the first time I used it. As I continued to use it and actually switched exclusively to it, I could notice that my skin was more hydrated and firmer and just kind of more glowy. So that's why I fell in love with the line."
The cold winter weather can definitely wreak havoc on your skin, leaving you with an oily t-zone and dry patches. Just because Emmy is a celeb doesn't mean she doesn't suffer from the same skin problems!
"My skin is definitely combination! I get super dry on my cheeks and then kind of oily down the middle. What's amazing about this product is that it really kind of treats everything in a really effective but natural way and it scrubs off all your dead skin cells while not killing any of your healthy skin cells. You can really feel the exfoliation that happens — at the same time as it's really hydrating and protecting."
Emmy Reveals Her Favorite Products From The Line
Emmy has tried it all — and swears by this skincare line, even versus more expensive products!
"It will absolutely not break you out! I have tried more expensive face creams — they will go unnamed — even in winter months when I'm drier, and they would break me out. What's really interesting about these products is that they're super hydrating and moisturizing. I have very sensitive and acne prone skin and this doesn't break me out at all."
"I love the eye cream. I have always been obsessed with eye creams and trying different eye creams because I really think that as an actor, people are looking at your eyes for a source of feeling and emotion. I use the eye cream and the face cream everyday without fail."
Emmy Shares Her Beauty Secrets On Instagram
Emmy posted a photo of her beauty must-haves on Dec. 27 from London. In it, we spotted Restorsea Cleanser and Day Cream, Diorshow iconic mascara, Tarte blush, Essie nail polish in No Pre-Nup, and Clinique Acne Solutions Spot Healing Gel.

Your favourite bank did start showing hidden wrinkles as it eagerly snapped up a 26 bp NIM increase to 3.26% this quarter an Net interest income grew in line with the bank's voracious appetite to INR 38.88 Bln. The retail surge which slowed down to 20% and Deposit growth continues without buyouts of deposits at the industry rate of 14%. That means the retail team is unlikely to prove other results without the earlier snafus with retail processes even as it opened 250 new branches, 150 in the unbanked regions. The chink in the armor is that the bank will smooth over its increasing gross NPAs as the continuing expansion in margins gets the bank to override and lay down the news of a jump in gross and net NPAs. Gross NPAs for a large bank as such are horribly disavowable at 3.23% and Net NPAs are also thrice the rate at equally sized HDFC Bank.
The stresses however may not be l
inked to its growth as one looks askance at the 15% plus ROE. At this moment however I am unable to more than cast a doubt on the Capital Structure for such ROEs and the same however is not to be confused with the global banks which still have a entirely different Order of magnitude of liquidity and derivative profits/risk management. It might still have an audience requesting that they be treated as peers especially on the comments on Capital Structure while structured product profits would still seem unseemly. The results will probably bring the bank under fire from its Indian peers , starting here at the ROE growth which seems awkwardly as always one step ahead o f the coming high interest rate regime when it actually expands margins.
Profits are only up 25% less than the expected INR 24-25 Bln mark at INR 22.54 Bln
The Active CaSA strategy for the bank seems to have worked wonders again with another 1.95 increase quarter on quarter to more than 43%. From here CASA would go on reducing once it reaches 47-49% levels in three-four quarters(at this pace). Average CASA as been reported duly at 39% , ad the gap is showing , which may be a disconcerting note for investors as the surge in retail and commercial deposits continues to bank the margin till rates are hiked.
However to reiterate, The Bank thus now has been completely clean on the paper trail in terms of its profit, asset growth and retail loan growth objectives , also fulfilling its rural objectives , covering the unbanked and continuing to improve its show while the fissures in its wholesale international book and the growth in retail NPAs coming hither will well be masked in the current reporting as well, leaving it another show of increased transparency The bank has however totally dominated its peer HDFC Bank in the banking sweepstakes for the two universal banks heralded in India at the first stage of bank reforms in 1995.

My excitement for the upcoming NBA season was moderately brimming before yesterday (due in large part to a $50 prop bet I placed a couple months ago on the season starting on or before Christmas -- CHA-CHING!), but two things happened yesterday.
First, I got a nice letter from NBA Commissioner David Stern thanking me for my patience during the lockout and promising me a very exciting upcoming NBA season. He even signed it with the colloquial "David" signature. (And while it was addressed "Dear Fans," I know ol' Dave was talking to me.)
Second, the NBA released its 2011-2012 schedule yesterday! So now we get actual context to the process of cramming 66 games into about 120 days, which is the calendar equivalent of trying to cram Albert Haynesworth into an adult large T-shirt.
If you don't have time to go through the Rockets' schedule with a fine-toothed comb, here are six things you need to know:
6. If you liked the Rockets' 0-5 start last season, you'll love what the league has in store for them this season! They open the season with seven of their first eight games against teams that made the playoffs last year, beginning with opening night (December 26) at Orlando and finishing with a pair of games against Oklahoma City on back-to-back nights.
5. Wedged in the middle of that stretch is the obligatory three-night, back-to-back-to-back stretch where the Rockets will play the Spurs at home on Thursday 12/29, fly to Atlanta for a Friday game with Memphis, and then come home Saturday for the traditional New Year's Eve home game, this year with the Atlanta Hawks. (Early wagering advice: Take the under on December 31.)

4. On the original 82-game schedule, the Rockets would have played the highest number of back-to-back stints in the league, 22 total. Somehow, on a schedule that is 16 games shorter, they now have 23 back-to-backs, 14 of those finishing on the road. Perhaps as a give-back from the league, the Rockets will face opponents who are
tired and hungover on the second night of a back-to-back 27 times, the second-most in the league.
3. If you're a fan of going to Toyota Center to watch other superstars from around the league, then you will be disappointed. The Miami Heat (LeBron James, Dwyane Wade), Chicago Bulls (Derrick Rose), Orlando Magic (Dwight Howard), Boston Celtics (KG, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce) and Cleveland Cavaliers (Anderson Varejão....just kidding) are all "one road game only" opponents for the Rockets. (Silver lining: If you're a fan of going to the Toyota Center to watch the Rockets, you know, WIN, then this schedule is fairly friendly, omission of the Cavs notwithstanding.) 2. If you're wondering when the first episode of Wife Swap, NBA Style -- Kevin McHale and Rick Adelman both facing their former teams -- takes place, mark down January 30! (And yes, in the Wife Swap metaphor, this makes Hasheem Thabeet the "lazy kid who nearly drives his new mom batshit crazy" on the show.)
1. Seven scheduled NBA-TV simulcasts -- that's the extent of the Rockets' national television schedule this season. Basically, their national television schedule is one cut above streaming games off of Justin.tv. Kevin Martin apparently doesn't carry a lot of weight with John Q. Public.
Listen to Sean Pendergast on 1560 The Game from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. weekdays, and watch the simulcast on Comcast 129 from 6 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. Also, follow him on Twitter at http://twitter.com/SeanCablinasian.

st. patrick's day might not be the most popular holiday around, but it is a good excuse for getting crafty with the kids. here are a few simple and festive ideas that will keep them busy and feelin' green for the big day!
1/FELT PINS/ supplies: green felt, scissors, fabric or hot glue, pins, embroidery thread & needle/ how-to: for each pin, using different colors of felt, cutout two-2-inch circles and a cute shape (such as a heart or shamrock). glue or stitch the shape to one of the circles. using a whip-stitch (here's a toot w/pics) and the shape on the outside, stitch the two circles together. finish by gluing on a pin. they look super cute on sweaters, tees, backpacks, etc.!
2/ELBOW PATCHES/ supplies: green felt, embroidery thread & needle/ how-to: this one is less hands-on for the kids, but is really quick and easy. cut a fun shape thats approx. 2.5-3″ big from felt. have your child put on a long sleeve tee. using a pencil, mark the middle of their elbow. take their tee of, lay the felt shape over the top of your mark and attach using embroidery thread. if you plan on keeping the felt patch on their shirt past st. patrick's day, be sure to wash the felt first before sewing it on so it doesn't shrink!
3/FELT GARLAND/ supplies: green felt, scissors, embroidery thread & needle/ how-to: cut shapes from different color felt and thread together with embroidery thread! simple, cute and easy to store for next year or keep up all spring!
we spotted a double rainbow this morning on the way to school (yay, spring!) and then was bombarded with questions about leprechauns, pots-o-gold and all that good stuff. needless to say, we're definitely in the mood for st. patrick's day fun around here… stay tuned for more simple recipes and ideas the next couple weeks!

"Hopeful and challenging, and offering insight that will help us understand this generation," Not Quite Adults may change everything about the conversations we have about and with teenagers and twenty-somethings. Learn the real reasons why so many young people are choosing slower paths to adulthood, and the unexpected truth—that it's good for allof us. There are serious alarms, however, in that not everyone is doing it, or doing well at it.
The media has been flooded with negative headlines about 20-somethings, from their sense of entitlement to their immaturity to their dependence on their parents' purse strings. The message is that these young people need to shape up and grow up—that they should take a fast track to adulthood just like their parents did. Now, drawing on almost a decade of cutting-edge scientific research sponsored by the MacArthur foundation, including analyses of over two dozen national data sets and 500 interviews with young people, Richard Settersten, Ph.D., and Barbara Ray shatter these widespread stereotypes. Settersten and Ray bring us a more nuanced understanding of this generation, and of the unique challenges they are facing as they come of age.
Not Quite Adults gets to the heart of how and why the course to adulthood has become so complicated, what these changes mean for families and for our country, and what we should do about it. Rather than playing the blame game by pointing fingers at helicopter parents or entitled teenagers, the authors show how cultural and economic forces have radically transformed the "traditional" path to adulthood, creating a very different set of challenges as well as opportunities for today's young adults.
Filled with timely information and illuminating case histories, Not Quite Adults is a fascinating and enlightening look at an often misunderstood generation. It is a must-read for parents, teachers, psychologists, sociologists, and anyone interested in today's youth culture.
Not Quite Adults was published by Random House on December 28, 2010 and is available in bookstores everywhere.

How to Make a Tablecloth With Cutwork
A tablecloth featuring cutwork embroidery will add elegance to the dinner table. Just two basic embroidery stitches are needed for the technique. A small cutwork tablecloth can be made for a round bistro table, bringing European charm to a room. A completed cutwork tablecloth would make a sophisticated handmade wedding gift, paired with cutwork napkins. Crafty teenagers with a desire to learn hand embroidery could make these tablecloths or napkins for cherished parent or grandparent gifts.
Measure the width and length of the table with a tape measure to determine the amount of linen or cotton fabric needed for the tablecloth. Allow 1-inch hems and a table edge drop that ends at the chair seats. Cut the fabric to the measurements, fold the edges over 1/2 inch twice for hems, and pin in place. Sew the hems with a needle and thread or a sewing machine.
Press an embroidery transfer design for cutwork to the fabric with an iron for 10 seconds. Let the fabric cool for five minutes. Place a section of the design in the center of a 14-inch embroidery hoop and tighten the hoop. Thread an embroidery needle with three strands of embroidery floss.
Cover the iron-on transfer design with two parallel rows of running stitches located on either side of the transfer design lines. Running stitches are 1/2-inch-long stitches separated by 1/2-inch spaces.
Cover the parallel rows of running stitches with a buttonhole stitch. The buttonhole stitch is perpendicular to the running stitches and features a hand stitch that goes from the fabric front to the fabric back and back to front in two steps, with stitches placed as close together as possible. Continue moving the embroidery hoop around the tablecloth to cover the entire design with stitches.
Cut through the centers of the embroidery designs with sharp appliqué scissors, removing the fabric as close to the embroidery stitches as possible.
Things Needed
- Tape measure
- Linen or cotton fabric
- Straight pins
- Needle and thread or sewing machine
- Iron-on embroidery transfers for cutwork
- Iron
- 14-inch embroidery hoop
- Embroidery needle
- Embroidery floss
- Sharp appliqué scissors
- Do not pull embroidery stitches tight when stitching, or they will pucker the fabric.
- Practice the cutwork technique on a fabric square or napkin before tackling a tablecloth. Hand wash the completed cutwork to make any frayed cut fabric edges around the embroidery disappear.

Skip to 0 minutes and 4 seconds RICHARD CHAMBERS: So with mindfulness, we practise being present, being nonjudgmental and accepting and open, but it doesn't mean being a doormat. If people are doing things that aren't OK with us, it's absolutely OK to be assertive and to have clear boundaries. And, in fact, that can be a very important thing to do. And mindfulness can help us to do that effectively. If we can calm ourselves down and be nonreactive, we can start to become very clear. If we look closely, we can see that people who are causing difficulties for us are causing difficulties for themselves as well. I mean, they're obviously having a bad time if they're hard to be around.
Skip to 0 minutes and 43 seconds And they might be laying some seeds that down the track could cause problems for them or just damaging their relationship with us. So if we start to be very clear and balanced in our communication with them, having very clear boundaries, it can actually be a very compassionate thing to do. I guess a really good example would be a child that wants to eat ice cream for every meal. And a good parent, are they going to let the child eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day? Probably not. I think a good parent's going to teach the child about good nutrition, expect them to eat a balanced meal, and then just have an ice cream every now and then.
Skip to 1 minute and 18 seconds And so really, mindfulness helps us to be assertive, because it helps us to come from a much clearer, less reactive place. If we can see the situation clearly, we're not going to take things personally. We're not going to react as much. If we can notice our own emotions and reactions, we can calm ourselves down. We can start to have clear boundaries, be very clear in our speech. We can also start to tune into what our needs are, rather than just allowing other people to set the agenda. If we know what we need in each moment, we can start to be very clear about that and to ask for that.
Skip to 1 minute and 52 seconds So if I were a parent, I might say to a child, I really need for you to listen to what I'm saying and to have a balanced diet and be healthy. Or if I were at work and someone was not doing a task they'd agreed to do, I might need to be very clear about my need for that task to get done so that I can get on with my work. But I might also be very interested in what it is that's getting in the way of them doing their work. If I bring an attitude of curiosity and interest and nonjudgment, I could maybe have a much more effective conversation with them.
Watch Richard explain how mindfulness can help you be more assertive, and how that can help you to connect with your own needs and those of others.

Open SpaceMulberry Grove sits on 20 acres of land, approximately 60% of which has been permanently reserved for open space. To the north runs the wooded riparian corridor of Mill Creek, (3 acres) which serves as refuge for native plants and wildlife. The south central portion of the land, which has been reserved for agriculture, (6.9 acres) includes pear and peach orchards; older orchard remnants well on their way towards reverting to their natural state; and a pond for irrigation water, wildlife and recreation. The northwest central portion of the neighborhood (1.3 acres) will grow into a shaded park area and community garden space. The potential exists for this area to include a playground, a pavilion for community gatherings, and a cottage for residents' visiting guests. Each resident of Mulberry Grove will own an interest in the 11.2 acres of open space. Each parcel of open space is protected from future development in perpetuity by conservation easements. The agricultural land is preserved for the purpose of being able to produce local, organically-grown commercial food in the future and may be leased for that purpose.
The LotsThe 42 building lots within Mulberry Grove are clustered into small groupings to create a sense of community. Open space adjoins each lot on one or more sides, which provides connectivity to nature and creates privacy. What better way to create a sense of spaciousness around your home without all of the yard work?
Lots range in size from 5,143 square feet to 15,727 square feet. Architectural covenants guide the height and size of homes to preserve views, promote resource and energy efficiency, and to maintain the human scale of the community. A building height maximum of 22 feet is allowed along a section of the north side of the Mill Creek corridor, since views will not be obscured in that direction. Most lots have a height limitation of 17 feet to preserve the outstanding views of the La Sal mountains and surrounding mesas afforded by the location. Home sizes range from 1000 square feet to 2400 square feet, depending on the lot. For complete information on building height and size restrictions, please see page 7 of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (the "Covenants").
Mulberry Grove provides eight lots with vehicle access, and thirty-four walk-in lots. Lots with vehicle access allow for residents to drive onto and park their vehicles on their lots. Lots that are walk-in provide residents with two parking spaces - one covered and one open - plus a 6'x10' enclosed and lockable storage unit in one of the two parking areas located on the east and west sides of the neighborhoods. Walk-in lots range in distance from the parking areas of 55 feet to 575 feet.

Nancy Pelosi says she is a faithful Roman Catholic. She has said that Marco Rubio is a bad Roman Catholic:
"I thoroughly disagree (with Rubio's opposition to gay marriage), being raised in a Catholic family, raising a Catholic family, mainstream Catholic – well, the Baltimore Catechism, to get back to our hometown of Baltimore, was what we were raised on. And I think that this statement by Senator Rubio is most unfortunate. It's a polarizing statement. The fact is, is that what we're taught was to respect people in our faith and to say that this endangers mainstream Christian thinking is so completely wrong."
Here are the question and answer to the marriage issue in the Baltimore Catechism:
Q. What is the Sacrament of Matrimony?
Trending: No, Hillary Did Not Win the Popular Vote…And Yes, the Electoral College Did Protect America from Corruption at the Ballot Box
A. The Sacrament of Matrimony is the Sacrament which unites a Christian man and woman in lawful marriage.
Being a "mainstream Catholic" when Nancy Pelosi was growing up, the Catholic Church never would have approved of same-sex marriage. It would have been "mainstream Christian" thinking in the 1940s and 1950s (Pelosi was born in 1940) that same-sex sexuality was a sin, and same-sex marriage never would have been considered.
Have you noticed that liberals can appeal to their religious beliefs but conservatives can't? You never hear liberals say "there's a separation between church and state" when a fellow-liberal appeals to the Bible…

10 Jun Epidural 101 with Dr. Claire Sandberg
An epidural is a very familiar term for most, but how much knowledge do people have about it?

Claire breaks down common myths and misconceptions about epidural anesthesia and clearly present the facts about epidurals so listeners can make an educated, informed choice.
In this episode:
- Claire's path from anesthesiology to yoga
- Explaination of the difference between a standard epidural and a "walking" epidural and how they are administered.
- The frequencies in which an epidurals does not provide full pain relief.
- What is done when full relief is not received.
- What other equipment might the pregnant person expect with an epidural
- Potential risks and side effects of an epidural
- How an epidural is adjusted for a cesarean?
- Myths vs reality of an epidural. Is it ever really too late to get an epidural? Can you still walk with a "walking epidural"
- When to consider getting an epidural
- Big controversial question- is there any effect on a baby who's mother had an epidural?

About Dr. Claire Sandberg:
Claire Sandberg MBBS FRCA MA trained as a physician in the UK and specialized in anesthesiology. In this role she spent time in 'labor and delivery' siting epidurals for labor analgesia, providing anesthetic support for obstetric interventions such as cesarean surgery and instrumental delivery, and caring for critically ill mothers. Claire served as an anesthesiologist in the Royal Air Force this involved aeromedically evacuating severely injured or sick military personnel from war zones and other areas back to the UK.

Her second son was born in the US and at that time she re-engaged with her yoga practice. Claire found her postnatal practice to be an incredibly positive influence on her life. The combination of rehabilitating her body after birth, using the practice to bring strength to both body and mind and bringing mindfulness to parenting was so powerful that she wanted to be able to share it with other women and families. Claire now teaches yoga in Northern Virginia including prenatal and postnatal classes. She strives to support women to strengthen and prepare their bodies and minds for birth and parenthood, and to empower themselves in their birth experiences and beyond.

CIFF Haunted House
New Rheem Theatre, 350 Park St., Moraga
Reviewed 10/22/10
The California Independent Film Festival (CIFF) has found a great location for its haunted house: The New Rheem Theatre in Moraga.
In addition to sponsoring the theatre's Friday Night of Fright, where classic movies are shown, CIFF's haunted house gives a taste of classic scary movies.
When you enter the haunt, you follow small red theatre lights down a long, dark aisle, not knowing what may pop out at you or what awaits you at the end of the path. You end up on the stage, and then the haunt takes you though the back of the theater, utilizing the space well and offering many rooms in a relatively small space.
Throughout the haunt the actors were good and offered a few startles, but the "stars" of the show were the beautiful rooms. They were very well decorated and had great props and many full-sized characters. A few of my favorite rooms were the execution room, clown room, and meat locker. But my absolute favorites were the Christmas rooms. They were superbly decorated and creepy, with an uninvited guest peeking in the window.
The haunt has a claustrophobia chamber and I always appreciate that type of added feature in a haunt. Like a vortex tunnel, it adds a little something special to the experience.
There can be a wait to get in if there are parties in front of you. We had to wait for about 15 minutes because we got to the haunt just after two groups had arrived.
While Moraga may be a bit off the beaten path, this haunt is fun and worth a stop if you're in the area.
Be sure to take a look at our Events Calendar or our map of pumpkin patches and haunted houses to find all the other great events going on in the Bay Area.

We've all had the experience of reading a good book and not being able to put it down. And maybe we've also experienced reading a series of books that keeps getting better and better, stronger and stronger with each book. But it's been a long while since I've become so strongly attached to a series of books as I have to the Elemental Mysteries. Due to that, I hope you'll pardon my giddy excitement that I had the privilege and pleasure to interview the author, Elizabeth Hunter. She talks writing and traveling in the following interview:
AH: Which character did you have the most fun writing in The Elemental Mysteries?
EH: That's really hard to answer because I love them all in different ways. (They're kind of like kids.) For the pure fun of it, probably Carwyn. I love his sense of humor and his heart. For a challenge? Tenzin. She's very difficult to write because of her age, but that makes her really fun, too. And then Gio and Beatrice are always a joy. They're like my oldest friends in the series because their characters came first
AH: The world you've created in this series is amazing. Can you explain your world building process?
EH: For me, it always goes back to character. The first character in the series was Giovanni. He came first when I imagined an immortal character whose life revolved around books. And then it grew from there. I started asking questions about him: When was he born? How had he lived as a human? Why was he immortal and how did it happen? What is his greatest strength? His weakness? What is he proud of? What does he regret?
And then I research. I do a lot of research to find the answers to all the questions. Books, the internet, music, documentaries. I've researched everything from Renaissance printing history to Caucasian geography to Taoist mythology. But that part is fun for me! I love research.
AH: One of the aspects I really enjoyed about the world was the character names–they rang true and authentic. Do you have a naming process or do they just come to you?
EH: It's a combination. Every now and then a name will come to me; but often, I have a history or a background, and then I search for a name that seems to fit the character and have meaning beyond the obvious. Beatrice's name (while not the most popular for a young woman these days!) was obvious. Her father was a Dante scholar, and Beatrice was Dante's muse. But Carwyn's name, which means "blessed love," I had to search for.
AH: Where is your favorite place to write?
EH: I write in my office now that my son is in school, which is quiet and lovely and has my lazy dogs keeping me company. And that's wonderful. But my first four books were written at my kitchen table when I was still juggling the world. I mostly wrote at night when my son was asleep. Or at a coffee shop sometimes. I think it's important to be flexible. I understand "getting in the writing zone," but you don't want to get to a place in your process where you have to have to be creative. Make a habit of being creative in lots of places, and you might find inspiration in unexpected ways.
AH: On your website, you mention that you and your son plan to visit thirteen countries and as a fellow travel lover I have to ask: What country would you visit for the sole purpose of taking a writing vacation?
EH: This is a great question! (And thirteen is really just the beginning.) I'm actually considering a research/writing trip to the Eastern Mediterranean this summer. It will depend on the timing, but I love that area. I'm fairly sure that Istanbul is the setting for a book that's swirling around my brain, so I really need to go there. Sometimes a city or country will just keep popping up—in books, news, music, reader letters—so I'm following my gut. If I was going somewhere to just write though, I'd probably go to Ireland. I love the West coast of Ireland; it's very relaxing, and I do like a good pub.
AH: What have been the easiest and hardest parts about being a published author?
EH: The easiest? Being able to make a living doing what I love. This is my dream job, and I'm supporting myself and my family doing it. I'm incredibly blessed. The hardest? When you're self-published, there are many responsibilities that go with running what is basically a small business. I hire good people, but finding them and juggling everything can be a challenge. Still, it's a challenge I gladly accept, because I retain creative control over my work. I write what I want, when I want, and I market my work the way I think is best. Nothing is dictated to me by a publisher or an agent. For me, that's worth the trade-off in time.
Elizabeth Hunter is the author of The Elemental Mysteries Series, THE GENIUS AND THE MUSE, and The Cambio Springs series. SHIFTING DREAMS is the first book in Cambio Springs and recently came out March 5. For more information, please visit her website elizabethhunterwrites.com

Health & Safety
The health and well-being of the workforce is our number one priority. Our vision is one of workplaces that are incident- and injury-free, where everyone returns home safely. CONSTRUCT works with designers, clients and other stakeholders to achieve that.
CONSTRUCT'S H&S committee meets regularly to share best practice, to learn from incidents and to work together across the industry to produce publications and policies that are better for all. External organisations and other stakeholders within construction are also invited into the committee to present and share their views. Led by our HS & E Manager Dave Armsworth this honest and open forum has, above all, allowed for substantial collaborative improvement.
CONSTRUCT has developed an extensive list of publications which are free for all members. Non-members can purchase most publications so we urge you to contact us. We actively encourage members to share knowledge, experience and best practice.
Most publications are available by download in Useful stuff or by contacting us with an email request
- Accident statistics report
- H&S policy
- Pictorial Common Practice Guidance sheets Behavioural safety process
- Formwork and falsework guides for safe erection, use, dismantling, transportation
- Lifting operations plan template
- H&S tool box talk video sessions
- Occupational Health Tool Box Talks and Guidance
Our pictorial Common Practice Guidance sheets were developed in collaboration with members and seek to demonstrate common ways to undertake specific site activities across the industry. These can be made site specific and cover the subjects of:
- Safe Access/Egress and Vehicle Segregation on Sites
- The management and control of dust on construction sites including the setting up of on-site saw benches
- The safe loading / unloading of vehicles
- COSHH – safe storage and use
- The setting up and management of Site Stores
Environmental impact and sustainability are areas demanding attention by industry and we've achieved some results here too developing How to Guides and a Register of Legislation.
Getting involved with CONSTRUCT'S H&S Committee is the single best thing your company can do to stay up-to-date with work being carried out around Health and Safety. Contact our H&S Manager Dave Armsworth to find out more about what you can get out or put into CONSTRUCT.

In Reply to: Re: STOOL SHAPE & SPASDIC COLON/IBS posted by Annie on September 19, 2000 at 07:46:10:
: Just a follow-up to your message of thin stools - I have IBS also but mine is the constipation - overly sensitive bowels, not going for the bathroom for days and then waking of at 3:00 am doubled over in labor like agony - sharp stabbing pains - boy do I know that routine. But recently, a few months ago, I experienced a few days of these thin stools - scared me also because I heard that it can be a sign of colon cancer. I did go to my family doctor but he put me on citrucel for 3 weeks and major water to try and get me back on track (more fiber) to try to cure problem that way - he didn't seem to concerned about the colon cancer? Haven't seen any more of them but I know what you mean about scary.: : : : : : : I have IBS and have had it for many, many years. Since I was a young teen. Im 7 weeks of being 30 now and it just won't go away. Gets a little worst. 3 years ago I was doing some research on IBS. Read somewhere how thin or flat stool is a symptom of colon cancer. Well, Doctor told me this DOES happen with a spasdic colon. I know a specialest told me this and I know a couple others who have said the same thing happens to them.. Are we the only 3 or has anyone else had this happen to them? I have delt with IBS forever. I know that is my problem. But it does linger in the back of my mind as a concern of what if. I plan to go back to the DR. My IBS comes and goes. Sometimes I get it for days, weeks and months of misery. Then it goes away and I have nothing for weeks or months at a time. Always has been this way. He did give me pain killers for the sharp stabbing, labor like pains I get in an attack. The kind that make ya break out in a sweat. It's awful. But my question is, has anyone else had strange stools?
: : : It seams like all of us have the same problem at one time or another. I had the same thing about 3 weeks ago. I had a colonoscopy and everything was fine. Just spasmic Colen - IBS. If you like to ease your mind, ask your Dr. for such a test. Good Luck, CP.
: : Same here. I've had it for twenty years and the stools are sometimes very thin or very flat. I'm having a colonoscopy on Thursday, but I've had a lower GI and they didn't find evidence of a tumor. My brother in law died last year of colon cancer and from what I can tell, if you have colon cancer, the diarrhea doesn't stop. And it's usually bloody. It's different for different people of course, but in advanced cases like his was, it was non-stop.: : Angie E
: Angie...Hi my name is Annie hope you don't mind the intrusion here for a few minutes? : I found an old post (7-7-2000) of yours through a search on "irritable bowel sydrome" and wanted to ask you a question...if I may? I think I read that you had a colonoscopy and a nurse told you to drink "apple juice" during the time you were doing the liquid diet while drinking the "prep" for the exam?: Would you possibly be able to relate that concersation to me? I am having a colonoscopy on 9-25 and saw what you mentined as a bit of help..as I was really ill last time while preparing for this exam. I would welcome *anything* that would make this even a little more bearable. Thanks for any feedback you could send my way..and so sorry for the intrusion here...Thanks so much for reading this...Annie: My email is listed so you could email me directly as sometimes I have trouble accessing some sites messages boards. thanks again so much for taking the time....

It's not Mouse and Wiens, it's not Mouse and Weins, it's Mouse and Weens! We started this podcast to share our daily musings and observations, to interview fascinating people, and to talk about why in the world we are the way we are. We might be serious, we might be kind of dorky. But what we really want is to have fun and thoughtful conversations that bond us all together.
We are Southern California girls, living different walks of life. Weens is Julianne: the younger sister, single and working in the entertainment industry. Mouse is Joelle: the older sister, a stay at home mom of three, living in some fancy 'burbs in San Diego.
We might talk childhood memories and teenage adventures, discuss dating, marriage and family, get deep with philosophy and psychology, or go behind the scenes with entertainers, celebrities, friends and family. Hopefully we will see each others' perspectives although there might be disagreements. But the bottom line is learning about fascinating human behavior and having fun doing so. We hope you enjoy the podcast!
- What is your podcast about? Our podcast is about relating in the world today as two women in our 40's. We are sisters set out to discuss our day to day lives in a humorous way.

We believe that laughter is the best medicine. We seek to entertain listeners to provide a happy escape, and to leave you with the feeling of positivity and friendship.
- What does Weens do in Hollywood? Weens - Julianne - is the little sister and the single, funny one. She is a Los Angeles girl working in the entertainment industry on TV and movie sets. She writes, directs, films, and acts in both theater and film productions. Julianne is also a musician, comedian, humanitarian, animal lover, and specializes in spirituality and personal growth. See her works here www.julianneeggold.com
- What does Mouse do? Mouse - Joelle - is the big sister and the married, nerdy one. She is a stay at home mom of 3 in the San Diego suburbs with a background in science, biotech, and graphic design. Her passions are fitness, genealogy, doing this podcast and its social media, and volunteering in the garden at her kids' school and in the community. That, and teaching her kids to be good people and to wipe properly.

Look, I enjoyed the circa 2002-7 Bourne trilogy, and it's surprising to me that I've never gotten around to 2012's Damonless, Greengrassless The Bourne Legacy given how much I liked writer/director Tony Gilroy's Michael Clayton. But as I aver in my NPR review, Jason Bourne isn't just the least of the Damon-starring Bournes—it's not even as good as SPECTRE, which suffered an acute surfeit of goodness. And Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. are both far more imaginative and colorful diversions, spywise and otherwise.
It gives me no joy to deliver unto you this disappointing news.

"We are very pleased to be able to offer this opportunity to the PV community," says Philippe Malbranche Co-ordinator of the project through which funding will be provided (SOPHIA).
"The EC is going to cover the costs of a team from one country using facilities based in one or more other countries providing that results are shared with the owner of the facility/ies and, if interesting, published."
Team members can come from different European countries, but the team leader and a majority of the team members should not be from the country where the solar PV research facility they wish to use is located.
Costs related to transport, accommodation and help in using the solar PV equipment will also be covered by the EC through the project.
Malbranche adds: "A typical project might be a team of one SME and one local research organisation using a specific cell processing facility and the associated characterisation equipment over a period of 10 days. Other examples might be to conduct a long-term comparison of the performance of PV modules, BIPV or CPV systems or to use a supercomputing facility for advanced modelling. We are open to all kinds of relevant proposals."

Slaying the Thief of Joy
- 27 October, 2017
Is there anything more true than the saying, "Comparison is the thief of joy"?
Having just written them down, I'm going to read those words again. Slowly.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Call it what you will. Comparison. Competition. Envy. Jealousy. The green-eyed monster. It steals. It takes away joy. It saps happiness. It lessens satisfaction. And yet, comparison is a tool we all use, every day, in every aspect of our lives, whether consciously or not. Is there a more natural instinct than to compare ourselves to others?
I wonder if the tendency to compare has become magnified with all the technology...
School of Oprah
- 26 August, 2016
When I was a teenager, The Oprah Show was on TV every day at 6pm. For my mum and I, it was our special time. Homework done and dance classes finished, we would always, always watch together – on the couch with a cup of tea or at the kitchen table while dinner bubbled away on the stove. It was more than just a TV show – it was our daily meditation, the full stop at the end of our day, one of the many things we shared in quiet companionship....

Fengshui hair style could help you find success, just by changing your look. Everything is based upon fengshui's five elements and their rules of interaction. Sometimes a new haircut can help you change your life in a better way.
Let's discuss fengshui principles for hair style.Everybody wants to look their best. Sometimes a visit to the hair stylist just is not enough.
To make this work for you, it is important to coordinate your image with your fengshui element type (Metal, Wood, Earth, Fire or Water).
When you find your optimal matches, you'll find that you have a good chance to succeed in any activity.
Hair style should be done in a way that makes you feel beautiful, relaxed, and radiates the harmony of your internal world to onlookers.
The main key of harmonic wellness is achieving balance of the five elements. FengShui masters can tell you which of the elements are predominate in you, and which elements you are lacking.
For example, an individual who is influenced by wood, and born in the summer, may have a greater chance of losing hair. This is because summer is an element of fire, which has a natural tendency to weaken wood. Remembering the relationship among the five elements is key.
What are some possible remedies for this problem? Wearing blue toned clothes provide a soothing effect to Fire (summer). You can eat spicy foods, but try to avoid salty foods.
Nurture your hair, let it grow, and avoid use of hair products that are unnatural. Above all, remember the relationships between the five elements!
Return from Fengshui hair style to Fengshui Good luck

Direct solar illumination was used to pump a 5-mm-diameter 62-mm exposed-length rod of Er,Tm,Ho:YAG to achieve a quasi-cw lasing of the Ho ion at an average power of 12 W. The solar radiation was chopped at a 20% duty cycle to avoid overloading of the cooling system. The peak power output was more than 65 W during the chopper's open times. The slope efficiency is 3.8%, and the threshold input energy is approximately 100 W. The laser was operated for long times (up to hours) while maintaining its performance. This is, to our knowledge, the first directly solar-pumped laser operating at 77 K.

Thick veneer
Veneer technology was developed as early as around 2900 B.C. in ancient Egypt. As rotary-cut veneer is too fine to be sanded, we use so-called "thick veneer" for our PJUR, BLOQUE, DOMINO ZOOM and STRIP furniture. Thick veneer is one of the finest things that can be produced from wood. ZEITRAUM thick veneer surfaces are 4 mm thick sheets of wood that were cut from trunks using saws. Each of the sawed off sheets of wood look different and when they are put together, one perceives a character similar to that of solid wood.
