It's been over two weeks since I've blogged! Wow.. time flies. Life has been interesting as well as me not really having much new to blog about. How many times can I post pics of soup and foods that do not photograph well? I've been cooking a lot for myself and my boys.. but mostly foods that I've blogged about over and over and over. I would guess that many of us eat the same foods over and over?
I received a shipment of delicious Raw Condiments from Zukay Live Foods. These products are Raw and fermented, which means they have tons of amazing productive bacteria in each batch. Very good for you and your GI tract. You know those silly dairy yogurt commercials that claim to offer intestinal fortitude? Well, eat some of these LIVE products and you don't need to worry about downing nasty cruelty dairy yogurt! I will be blogging about all of their products, but for this post I used their Hot Salsa as a salad dressing. The first thing you notice when opening the salsa is that it bubbles. It is very alive! I tasted it and it was almost fizzing. I liked the fizz. My only complaint about this salsa was that it was not hot. In fact, I added cayenne and some pickled jalapenos to my salad. I think many people are afraid of heat.. not sure why! Well, maybe I am sure whey up here in the NORTH! I have taught many cooking classes and people are afraid of heat here. I say it is a good thing to train the Northern East Coast people to eat spicy foods! Other than the lack of heat, the flavor was spot on and I really enjoyed the product. It will probably take me a while to go through the rest of the samples since I am pretty much cooking for one here.
Lentil Soup
Another super fast but tasty dish.. scrambled veggies and tofu. The veggies were the star here as I used 3 oz of tofu to a large amount of zucchini, tomatoes, green pepper, onions, garlic and flavored the mixture with some kalamata olives and their brine, nutritional yeast and a lot of pepper. I also used 1 serrano chile with the seeds, so this had a nice spice to it. I finished it off with fresh basil.

I had a chihuahua that died from eating mushrooms in our yard and got posioned. Still the worst day in my life:( We had a very small patio yard at the time and those damn things were hidden under a big leafed plant away from view.

I am so sorry to hear what happened to your chihuahua. Good for you for being so vigilant. And you're very wise to be aware of other poisonous plants. Thank you for that reminder!

Just lost my Pug yesterday from eating mushrooms. He was very food driven and I didn't know that they could be deadly. Never really had a dog before that was interested in them. Happened really fast. He was drooling/eyes tearing within minutes on ingesting them. Later vomiting/diarrhea. So sad and I miss him. Wish I would have known before what I know now. Glad to see you page and hope it can help someone before things get ugly.

I just lost my 3 month old puppy to mushrooms. My roommate and I had no idea they were so dangerous. I'm letting ALL of my friends know how bad they can be.
Submitted by Anonymous | July 24 2011 | Permalink
My yard is covered with more than 10 varieties of mushrooms. My puppy is obsessed with eating them. I try to go through the yard each a few times and pull up all that I can find, but I can't always see them all. And each time I go out, each day, there are more. My puppy wants them so badly that he only focuses on finding them, and will not go potty. And after he eats the mushrooms his behavior is so erratic, and wild. He runs around the house as fast as he can and won't stop, and he barks at me and growls at me, he has even tried to bite me when I had him outside and was trying to pull a mushroom up before he could get to it. I know that the mushrooms are having a psychogenic effect on him, but I'm worried that he will get the wrong one and it will kill him.

It's not that I didn't care who won.
I certainly didn't care about all the off-field drama. I didn't care what Jim Irsay had to say, good or bad, about Peyton Manning or Bill Polian or anyone else. I definitely didn't care for the avalanche of nonsense that occurred during the week leading up to the game, nor for how the game itself seemed inconsequential to the coverage.
Despite living in various spots in Indiana more than anywhere else, I am not necessarily a Colts fan. I enjoy seeing the local team succeed, but that was the case for me in St. Louis, Kansas City, San Diego, Washington, et al. I grew up a Saints fan and, even though I lived and worked in Indy at the time and had previous worked behind the scenes on the Colts broadcasts, I had no compunction about rooting for New Orleans when the two teams met in Super Bowl XLIV. Don't get me wrong; Blue Horseshoe has been fun to watch and I am thrilled for what the team's presence alone has meant to the Circle City over the past three decades. I just don't bleed Blue.
One of the weird things of the week was noting how many Hoosiers were wearing orange Manning jerseys -- not Tennessee Volunteer orange, but Denver Bronco orange. That has not been a strange or uncommon phenomenon over the past season and a half. The Midwest is usually just as polite as portrayed in the movies and people here can understand rooting for a player who has moved on... unless that player is facing the local team. The backlash got brutal at times. There were uncharacteristic cries of "Traitor!" and worse. Every argument boiled down to "Support your team." The problem with that argument is assuming that just because you live somewhere doesn't mean the local team is your team [see above].
The other thing for me is that I have spent most of my life, in one way or another, as a journalist. The bulk of my journalistic pursuits has been in the arena of sport. I am, therefore, conditioned not to root for any player or team, in the interest of so-called impartial integrity. I find that whole concept to be a crock, by the way. Ultimately, I root for a good game and a good story.
That's what we got at Lucas Oil Stadium last night. Two very good teams with very good QBs gave it their all. Luck demonstrated abilities that Manning never had, even at Luck's age, like rushing for yards and touchdowns. Peyton showed once again that virtually no lead is safe, nearly pulling off yet another great 4th-quarter comeback. The sack to stall that final drive was a perfect period on a riveting contest. The game itself was more than fascinating enough without all the extraneous hoopla.
By the way, the final score 39-33.
OK, I didn't care who won.

Join me, in collaboration with InterContinental, to explore
The Future of Local.
Daniel Raven-Ellison
National Geographic
Emerging Explorer
This conversation is closed.
How will travel change local places in the future?
We travel to discover the different and new. Different people, cultures, environments and places. But as globalization connects isolated and populated places in new ways, how is it changing what we discover and explore?
In an ideally interconnected world, the tension between local and global can be a positive force that protects what is uniquely local but celebrates what is globally common. Can we find that balance? What does that balance look like to you?
"The Future of Local" is our quest to understand how complex interdependencies between people, countries and global brands are changing destinations -- including those that we call home. This conversation is created by InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, which has 170 hotels in over 60 countries. Explore this topic with Daniel Raven-Ellison, guerrilla geographer and National Geographic Explorer.
Closing Statement from Daniel Raven-Ellison
Thank you TED community for taking the time to join our conversation. I have been fascinated by the diverse range of contributions that have been made. The stories that have been shared are particularly powerful, with examples of how globalisation is impacting on the communities that we live in, visit and influence.
What is clear is that many of us are working from very different definitions of what 'local' means. Ronald Estrada describes local as "minimal, ecological, and symbiotic" while Iain Ellwood says it is more of "a state of mind not a geographic destination". This idea links well to Dustin Smith's suggestion that technology "changes who we spend time with, and allows us to choose "our own local".
The diversity of definitions of 'local' goes a long way to explain why we have so many different predictions about the future. Steve Knight had the most radical prediction, suggesting that personal air travel "will allow people to re-populate currently remote and unpopulated areas of the world". Pabitra Mukhopadhyay, Dorian Knus and many others share our concern that global forces are damaging local places and raise valid concerns for the future. These worries are met by many points that express the advantages of globalisation, including one by David Rogers who asks "Is the advantage of globalisation the ability to start a conversation anywhere in the world around common experiences?"
There have been a number of engaging solutions, including ways for tourists, travel companies and host communities to act more responsibly and sustainably. The common areas here appear to be high quality research, learning, education, empowerment and participation. Scan through to find some real gems.
Finally, thank you to InterContinental Hotels & Resorts for sponsoring this conversation. This specific discussion is closed, but you can follow the "Future of Local" project via Twitter on #FutureOfLocal. And we'll begin a new conversation on TED.com in the coming weeks.

We have a 40 pound dog and spend about $30 a month on his food.
Submitted by Renee | November 21 2012 | Permalink
Aside from the kibble (Nutro small breed natural choice) my cairns and I overlap in eating habits. I estimated $30 per dog, though that's really only a guess. We all eat plain yoghurt,carrots and apples, snow pea pods, and green beans. We like meat and fish, so anything I consume, short of anchovies, is shared. I don't cook specifically for the dogs, though I keep them in mind when shopping and deciding what to cook. I always trying to end up with tasty leftovers for humans and canines.

I found this article on dogs/feeding/economic indicators interesting/surprising. Just filled out your questionaire re: feeding our dogs. I do understand that surveys are tough to design; for me they are always tough to answer. For example, I feed dry/canned/dehydrated as well as homemade/fresh. Easy to answer that question. I purchase the dry/canned/dehydrated at my independent pet supply store. Also easy to answer. But I was reluctant to answer that I purchase food for my dogs at the supermarket as that implies cheap kibble/canned (which I do not buy), rather than the fresh meats and veggies that I DO buy at the grocery store. I was hoping to find a blank line to add more info, but there was none. So technically, I only half answered that question. Hence my dilemma with the survey. I'm probably over-thinking, as usual. Already looking forward to reading the survey results. As always, thanks for a wonderful publication.
Submitted by Renee | November 21 2012 | Permalink
About the design of the survey, an important factor in monthly cost of food is the size of the dog. I wished that this information had been asked for. And for those of us who feed variety, the only way to arrive at an accurate $ amount would be to track very carefully over at least a month; my estimate is at best an educated guess.
I suspect that the readers of the Bark are much more like Norwegians than Americans in their spending on their pets' food. Like you, I'm looking forward to the survey results

I also cook for my dog due to medical conditions. I would have liked to see that question addressed in your survey. I shop at my grocery store and I do try to save money by purchasing on sale, but if push came to shove, I would spend whatever is necessary for my dog to have what she needs for a balanced diet and to address her medical issues.

I have a 66 pound dog and spend approximately $50 per month. I feed a combination of dry dog food and added raw foods - yogurt, fresh vegetables, fruit, egg, chicken legs. I fed totally raw with my former dogs because of their allergies, but switched to partial kibble and raw because I like to travel with my current dog since I'm retired. I purchase kibble based on reviews, ingredient sources, grain free and no preservatives or unknown chemical additives. My dogs have always received compliments because of their shiny coats, clean teeth and good health!

My goodness, listening to the fresh veggie thing, I feel badly for my poor pooch! I figured if the dobie rescue place felt that the food in the orange bag was good enough for their dogs before I rescued them, it was good enough afterward. Add a fish oil cap for her coat and whatever I can't finish of my dinner, and the dog probably eats for $20 or so a month. She is a DOG after all . . .

I didn't do the survey because I really have no clue how much I spend. I'm inclined to say "whatever it takes", which wouldn't be completely true, but I really don't track what I'm spending on pet food. It would also be difficult to differentiate between food and treats, since whenever I get food, some treats also make it into the cart. I get premium kibble.

$58.xx for a 30 pound bag. Taste of the Wild "Upland Game" but it lasts 6 months. so call it 10, 25/mo for biscuts and treats, 60 every 3mo for grooming so about 55 bucks a month.
He is my pal so I would gladly pay double that if I had to.
You might want to consider buying in a smaller quantity (and paying a little more). Even good food, like Taste of the Wild, begins losing nutritional value once it's opened. I'm told that you don't want an open bag to last more than two months. Talk to your local experts and see if they agree.

Renee and Diane, if I understand your comments, both of you raise the issue of how the money spent feeding our fur-children is actually spent on 'conventional' canine food. And that is a relevant component in the decision making of some, but not all, pet parents... Unfortunately, due to many factors, diet awareness, economic status, access to the certain brands or technology to access, some of us are not conscious of the options available... so the generality of the survey makes it more applicable to all of us.
However, I too am curious of how those of us who do have the ability to act on the options spend on prepackaged food, regardless of grade, versus what you or I buy at the groceries as part of our human meals WITH the intention of sharing with our 'kids'. As mentioned previously, there are items I will not purchase to put in my refrigerator or pantry because it can't serve the dual purpose of being part of my diet and theirs... I've replaced raisins with every other dried berry... Okay, I admit, chocolate still makes it in... I'm guilty, that one is hard to shake!
Additionally, buying fresh is an economic decision as I have found that we can cook, or prepare snacks, at a percentage of what we would spend on wet food (or snacks). We have a pack of 8 wonderful and hungry 'children' and keeping them healthy starts with an investment in their diet... Interestingly enough it as informed us of our human health as well!
In closing, we haven't taken the leap to make their kibble but for now there are plenty of good brands out their now that have the nutritional content and supplements they need, and that, combined with our wet food recipes should work for this family for a while. What is validating about your comments is that there's more of us out there trying to offer our fur-children fresh alternatives to pre-packaged. Thank you!

My four dogs eat as wide a variety of primarily fresh ingredients as possible. While I do rotate in limited amounts of commercial foods such as Orijen or Acana dry or Organix or Newman's Own Organic canned foods, those are primarily used as toppers. Their primary diet consists of beef or chicken purchased at my local Wegmans or Whole Foods, cooked with brown rice and/or barley and veggies. If I have lentils or split peas, I throw a bit into the mix as well. I serve that as the base, then top with whatever I have on hand - pumpkin, roasted veggies (we all love brussels sprouts!), winter squashes and sweet potatoes, carrots, yogurt, and berries. Trader Joe's frozen wild boreal blueberries are grown without pesticides, available year-round, and are very inexpensive - they go in my smoothies, and the dogs love 'em straight from the freezer. I approach feeding my dogs the same way I do feeding myself: I read labels, go for whole/fresh over processed and organics whenever I can. They love it, and they'll eat pretty much anything now, even salad veggies and cherry tomatoes. I now add in small amounts of olive and coconut oils, after reading an article in the latest issue of The Bark. Thanks for the great information!! :)

I have a 60 lbs dog. His basic food is 225.00. He is my service animal and he earns that food and the additional treats. The most important thing for me when feeding him is health. He is kept at 60-62 lbs for optimal health he eats as he does for optimal health. He takes supplements and is regularly vetted for optimal health thereby hopefully giving me as many years with one dog as possible. He defines "Dog is my co-pilot" without him I am lost to disability. Longevity is essential.

My dog is 55 pounds. I pay $10/month for dry food, which I mix with wet food, which costs about $60/month. So, about $70/month for food, not including treats and chews.

I have three dogs. One has allergies. I switch back and forth from cooking for them and buying the better food like Nature's Choice and Blue. We spend almost $200 a month for the three. Fortunately, all of our children are adults now. But even if they where still dependant on us we still would spend what was necessary for our dogs. Life throws curves and you just follow. Besides our dogs gives us so much happy and joy.

We have two dogs that total about 70lbs. We feed them raw (bones and grind that has supplements, with additional bones for treats from time to time) that we have prepared, portioned, and delivered directly to our door on ice. It costs just under $200/month.
I stopped feeding my dogs commercial food about a year ago. That is not food, it is chemical crap. I don't care if it says all natural, made in USA. Well it might be made in USA but the ingredients to make it still come from CHINA! Rendered fat comes from animals that are euthanized at the vets office, shelters etc. How gross!! That would be like putting human fat in our food. Appetizing! I make a monthly trip to Costco for Beef, rice, eggs, oatmeal, beans etc. I follow the Pitcairn diet. They have never looked better. Their coats are super soft, no more tummy upset and my boys allergies aren't nearly as bad. It costs a little more and is time consuming, but my dogs are worth so worth it. I wouldn't want to eat cereal for every meal every day for the rest of my life.
We have 2 dogs. The grain free dog food is about 90.00 per month plus another 15 for treats, so just over 50.00 per month per dog. I can't imagine what people are feeding their dogs that costs so little!

I see people leaving big box retailers with their giant bags of cheap food and guess those are the people spending just $13. Even if you took away the fact that they are feeding their dogs empty calories and who knows what type of toxins, what on earth are their vet costs? I will admit that before I learned about dog food I fed one of the higher ends of a mainstream brand.
Now that' I've learned so much about canine nutrition I am a devotee of Canine Caviar. I have a senior Basset Hound and a 20 month Labrador and I spend probably $100 on food a month...hard to figure out the exact cost since the pup has changing caloric needs as the seasons change and he grows up, but it is hands down worth it! I think the American dog owner population really needs to have an education on what their dogs need and the best foods for them!
Submitted by Jen Brighton | December 6 2012 | Permalink
We use a local pet food company, Doorstep Pet Supply, that delivers high end foods, treats, toys, etc. We have the owner switch brands each time, getting two different bags of food at once. My dogs apparently have guts of steel, so never a problem with this method, or maybe that's the difference when feeding a nutritious food vs. filler food. The bags run about $50 each for 30 lbs. and we go thru a bag every 3-4 weeks between the two dogs. Also 3 indoor cats that he delivers high end food for, along with dust-free kitty litter. Great service!
Of course, the dogs would probably prefer to eat Alpo or Gravy Train (do they even make those anymore?)!

There gets to be this point, when your kid is essentially pooping man poop, and you just don't want to change another diaper. You start to talk up the potty, you buy your kid underpants, you beg a little bit. Despite all that, more than my own desire to be done with it all was my need to not make potty training a big deal. I didn't want it to be stressful for Little Man. So, sometimes he would pee on the potty, some days I would ask if he wanted to wear underpants, most days the answer was no.
Besides not wanting to stress out Little Man, to be honest, I didn't really have the energy to be diligent with potty training. Staying on top of Little Man to make sure he didn't have accidents, cleaning up any accidents...all while chasing around The Animal? No thanks.
So, I resolved to having two kids in diapers forever and we carried on.
But then there were like four mornings in a row that Little Man woke up with a dry diaper. I took it as a sign and pushed the underpants. It was Saturday. He had half a poop accident (half in the kitchen, half in the potty) and that was it. He peed on his own, he didn't need reminding. I put his diaper on for nap and there was a solid half hour after he woke up where he sobbed "Put my dipey on, PLEASE!" and I thought maybe I made the wrong decision. But then he wanted his pants on. And he woke up dry on Sunday. One pee accident, and that was it.
He doesn't need reminding. He is so big. I love seeing the band of his spiderman underpants peeking out of the waist of his pants. I love his little diaper free tushie. And I love that I essentially did nothing to get to this point.
So, being the expert that I am, here's my advice--don't push it. Let your kid tell you when he or she is ready. I don't know, I think there are long books on the subject...but seriously. Take the lazy mom approach and do nothing until your kid does it for you.

Today I have a movie about time travel...sort of.
Happy Accidents (2000)
Netflix description:
"Ruby Weaver (Marisa Tomei) is tired of being the "enabler" in relationships and has decided to give up the role of doormat. She's also on the verge of giving up on love. But a sweet, small-town guy, Sam Deed (Vincent D'Onofrio), changes her mind, and it seems Ruby's finally found a sane boyfriend. Or has she? Soon, Sam's divulging that he's a time traveler from the year 2470 … and Ruby must decide whether love conquers all."
OK, so Ruby has VERY bad luck with men, and when she meets Sam, it looks like her losing streak could be over. Although Sam is a little strange, he seems like a good, sweet guy...until a series of events forces him to divulge to Ruby his true identity. See, Sam comes from, like, a thousand years into the future. He's traveled back to our time to avoid prosecution for some kind of crime, and...well, you get it.
As Sam tells more wild stories about his origins, Happy Accidents gets funnier and funnier. That is, funnier and funnier if you watch it with the assumption that he's completely full of crap (as Ruby believes him to be). The idea that Sam is some kind of BS-er, spinning ludicrous yarns to cover his own infidelity, makes this film work. Marisa Tomei is such a fantastic actress that we actually sympathize with her predicament while also laughing at it, and the naive sincerity that Vincent D'Onofrio brings to his role is so perfectly balanced with Sam's more dubious qualities that we like him -- even while believing that he's a sleazebag.
But IS he a sleazebag? Maybe a part of us wants to buy his tales of time travel. A part of Ruby obviously does. Otherwise, she'd kick him to the curb. She can sense that there's something special to their relationship, and we as viewers feel it too. This I also chalk up to the strength of the main performances, which really keep an otherwise preposterous and (let's face it) pointless movie fairly enjoyable for ALMOST all of its 110 minutes.
Sadly, the picture completely falls apart near the end. I'd tell you why, but that would require a major spoiler, and I just won't do that to you. Bottom line is that Happy Accidents is, for the most part, a moderately tolerable, slightly charming little romantic comedy with a time travel twist. You won't really gain anything from watching it...but you really won't lose anything, either.

Glad you had a good time at the b&b Jennifer. Did you see fall colors or is it too early? I miss fall colors so much.
L, that would have sent me over the edge. I hate snakes, and I am scared to death of them. Our neighbor has had 2 coral snakes in his pool cage. His deaf cat was cuddling up to it! ack!! If I saw a coral snake in our pool cage I think I would become catatonic.
A good friend of mine just lost her husband to cancer. He was only 59. Next year they were going to retire and travel. It's so sad. I ******* hate cancer!!!!
Today I have a routine mammogram scheduled. I feel my heart racing a little bit worrying about it. I think about apa poster Becky.
I think I will make my boys happy, and bake chocolate chip cookies. Yes I am totally making cookies for them.

mshudson's curator insight, April 7, 2013 12:04 PM
Very interesting! I use some of the tools highlighted but must expand my application to include consistent student usage.
Charles Tiayon's curator insight, September 1, 7:17 PM
Using a straightforward rubric with only 3 or 4 criteria makes it clear to students and parents why an assignment earned the grade it did. It also prevents the teacher from downgrading a paper by weighting one aspect of good writing too heavily. Concentrating on only one trait makes it easier for the teacher to fairly assess a student's skills in a particular trait.
Penelope's curator insight, September 2, 1:59 PM
You can be a writer and you can making a living from it, but it may take a little savvy on your part. If you're fresh out of ideas of where you could sell your literary wares, this article could give you a jump start.
There are several very creative niches I knew nothing about. Find one, and get started on your writing career!

Mayra.Loves.Books's curator insight, August 24, 10:37 AM
Wish I knew the context of this photo or where it came from. Is it digitally altered? The photo was shared, but no original source given. Yes, the picture is worth more than a thousand words, and as a teacher I can see the possibilities of using this in the classroom after a study or refresher about the life of MLK. As a librarian, not knowing the source bothers me tremendously. I hope someone who reads this will add the missing information.
Jim Lerman's comment, August 25, 5:15 PM
@ MayraLovesBooks. I've only been able to find this url as a source for the picture. I tried using Google Reverse Image Search and with TinEye. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BvqlwD3CcAAYW00.jpg

Hundreds turned out for a 5K run at Piedmont Park on Monday to help a 12-year-old girl with sickle cell anemia.Valaria Fenderson and her mother have been on a campaign to find a bone marrow match for her while also trying to help others who need a match.Cameca Wright said that her daughter has been in out of the hospital. Her latest stint was on Friday. "I can't stay out in cold for a long time. I can't be in the heat for a long time. I can't run a lot. Just have to keep drinking water. It's basically a lot that other normal children that I can't do, that they do," said Valaria.Wright said her daughter was very excited about the "Let Free Run" MLK Day 5K held on Monday. "She is positive, but… the wintertime is not our time of the year because of the weather changes and things of that nature. But for the most part her spirits are up and she is very excited about today," Wright.The mother-daughter duo has been working nonstop to find a match for Valaria. The two have even setup a website valariafendersonfoundation.org for the public to keep up with her progress."It's helping other kids with sickle cell fight the disease. Just trying to do what I can do to help others and help myself," said Fenderson.If you're interested in getting tested, visit beamatch.org.

With back to school season in full swing, it's time to start grabbing those last-minute supplies and clothes for brand spanking new school year.
And now that those of us who were raised in the 80s are sending our kids off to school, we can't help but get a little nostalgic about the days when our summers were coming to a close. In honor of these great memories, here's a list of totally 80s school supplies and styles that we recall from the "gnarly" good ol' days. If you're looking to buy or even sell some of these items, be sure to check out eBay – you'd be surprised at how much your Lisa Frank binders are worth.
Trapper Keeper:
Serving as both fashion and function, Trapper Keepers were THE preferred school binders of the 80s. Available in a variety of "tubular" designs or popular themes such as favorite cartoons, television shows or video games, it took a major "dweeb" to go back to school (in the 80s) without one of these Velcro enclosed beauties.
Radical Hair:
Perhaps the 1980s can be best defined by its iconic hair. Whether you chose to go with a tightly wound perm or mile-high bangs, students would dedicate hours to making sure their hair was the tightest, crunchiest and the most "radical" style that chemicals could create.
Popped Collar:
Once your hair was "like totally perfect," there was only one thing left to do before walking out the door: Pop the collar. This was more vital to the morning routine than even brushing your teeth. According to the 80s, you were never fully dressed without a smile and a popped collar.
Pee Chee Folders: Neck and neck with the Trapper Keeper for the most iconic school supplies of the 80s was the slightly more modest brother, the Pee Chee folder. These were an absolute staple on every school supply list and kids were psyched to doodle on them throughout the year.
Parachute Pants:
Love them or hate them, parachute pants were a must-have for any 80s kid aiming to look cool on their first day back to school. They may gag you with a spoon now, but back then, they were bad to the bone.
Rolled-Up Jeans:
Of course, if swishy parachute pants grossed you out because you were more of a blue jean baby queen, then there's zero doubt that you wore button-fly Levi's, Guess or E S P R I T jeans as a part of your back to school ensemble (which were both high waisted and rolled-up at the bottoms, in true 80s fashion).
Lisa Frank School Supplies:
Every young girl returning back to school in the 80s (and a couple of brave boys) surely sported a Lisa Frank school supply at one time or another. Known for her ultra colorful and whimsical images, getting one of these binders/folders for the school year was a no-brainer.
Members-Only Jacket:
Even though the first day of school was likely a warm August or September day, you still had to rock that bodacious Members-Only jacket that you saved all summer to buy. Back to school is all about looking good and it was just too cool not to wear.
Hypercolor Tops:
Another 80s classic that was sure to turn some heads as you walked down the school hallway was the notorious hypercolor shirt. Whether or not the "hypercolor" technology was still functioning after its first trip through the washer is a whole other story.
Jellies (and other shoes):
They say you can tell a lot about a man by his shoes. When it came to back-to-school footwear, you really just had two fashion choices—sneakers or loafers. To refresh your memory, it was likely a pair of BK's (British Knights), Keds or Jellies for the chill kids and a shiny pair of penny loafers for the preppy ones.
Any of These 80s Accessories:
Last but not least, we figured it would be fun to simply list a number of popular 80s accessories that frequented the hallways of Any School USA as iconic back to school staples. Any of these ring a bell?
Hair Scrunchies
Leg Warmers
Neon Sunglasses
Slap Bracelets
Large Hoop Earrings
Side Ponytails
Tootoos + Leggings
Swatch Watches
Jelly Bracelets
Scholastic Readers
Garbage Pail Kids
Fingerless Gloves
We've come a long way since those days, but in the end, back to school prep really hasn't changed all that much. The trends have changed, yes. But still, it's all about the supplies you carry and the styles you wear—and how much cool you can get for your buck.

Obagi Nu-Derm System
Our skin forms the protective barrier to keep the delicate tissues of our bodies safe. Each day, the skin on our faces is exposed to the damaging effects of sunlight, wind, air impurities and other environmental factors. Over time, these environmental effects take their toll and leave behind signs of skin damage, which include dryness, flakiness, irritation and redness in addition to fine lines and wrinkles. The Obagi Nu-Derm System was developed specifically to help rejuvenate and restore the skin, reversing signs of the damage brought on by the world around us.
Using the latest in dermatological science, the Obagi Nu-Derm System is formulated to help boost the body's natural ability to renew itself. By aiding with skin cell turnover, the Obagi Nu-Derm System helps to gently remove dead skin cells, so that the new, vibrant, healthy skin beneath it shows through. The Obagi Nu-Derm System also contains specially formulated ingredients to help protect the skin from further damage. With regular use, the system makes a visible difference in the texture and appearance of the skin, for a balanced, younger and healthier looking face.
Obagi Nu-Derm System Products
Additional Obagi Nu-Derm System Information
Help renew and reinvigorate your skin with the Obagi Nu-Derm System. This line of specially-formulated products targets dead, dull skin cells and gently removes them, while giving the body a boost to produce healthy cells to replace them. The end result is healthier, fresher looking skin.
Obagi Nu-Derm Toner is designed to help balance and even out the tone and texture of the skin. Using the natural astringent alum, the toner balances the pH of the skin while eliminating dry patches and banishing oil. Gentle enough to use as part of your morning and evening beauty regimens, the toner also prepares your skin for the other nourishing products in the Nu-Derm collection.
Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel serves as an important first step in the Nu-Derm system. Through a gentle formulation of cleansing agents, the gel removes makeup, sweat and dirt that collect on your skin during your daily activities and while you sleep. By removing these impurities, the cleanser helps prevent blemishes and readies your skin for the complementary products contained in the collection.
Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte was specifically designed for those with noticeably dull skin that has suffered damage from stress and the elements. Using powerful alpha hydroxy acids, the formula exfoliates the skin, removing the buildup of cells that diminish the luster and radiance of the complexion. The exfoliator also contains kalaya oil. Packed with vitamins and minerals, this natural solution nourishes and soothes troubled skin. With daily use, the formula dramatically boosts skin cell turnover.

text: I was so nervous today before the appointment, couldn't eat, was shaking like crazy and restless! Once we got there I just relaxed right down, everyone was so nice, patient, compassionate, totally different from what I'm use to. Now onto results! They took 9 vials of blood from me! Testing for everything under the sun and then we did an ultrasound to get an idea where I am at. I'm on CD 54 and no where near O'ing anytime soon. He said my Follies were like CD 3 but my uterus was over 9mm thick! So the uterine lining seems to be building up as it should but my follies are not growing. This is when he told me I have PCOS and thinks injections are the best for me at this point. But he wants to do an HSG first so he put me on Provera for 5 days and warned me I was going to have a pretty violent period thanks to my Uterine Lining being the way it is. Then we will start a fresh cycle. I just wondered if anyone knew though, After the HSG 'dye test' will they have to start a new cycle before the injects or will they let me start the injects on that cycle?

While pregnant with twins I learned a lot about twins, how they happen, why they happen and that they're much more common than I ever thought.
How they happen - either mom drops two eggs that each get fertilized (fraternal twins) or one fertilized egg splits for some unknown reason (identical twins).
Why they happen - (This applies to fraternal twins only) Heredity, if someone in the woman's family has had twins she is more likely to have twins. Age, the older a woman gets the more likely she is to drop more than one egg at a time. Fertility treatments.
Twins happen every 1 in 30 births now. Much higher than 30 years ago. In the last 3 decades the occurrence of twins has risen 72%.
On the same day I delivered our twins, Ministry Saint Michael's delivered another set earlier in the day and sent a mother expecting twins to Marshfield because they were too early.
Since having twins I've met so many people who are twins or have twins. I've even met a few people who have 2 sets of twins. They say that once you have twins you're more likely to have them again.
Though twins are pretty common these days there are some cases of twins that are still quite rare like the ones in this video:

By Maurielle LueFox 2 NewsCANTON, Mich. (WJBK) -- Dog walking in Canton's Central Park neighborhood has become dangerous. More and more of the people that live there think someone is trying to kill their pets."We found pieces of candy with metal in them, as well as this last time there were various pieces of meat, like ham and beef, with metal in them," said Clarence Baker. "The concern is that they want to kill your dog."For months residents have been finding raw meat and pieces of chocolate stuffed with needles and chunks of metal carefully placed around five trees along a popular route for dog walkers."We filed three police reports. We want some trail cameras put out here that will take infrared pictures late at night to see who's out here doing this because they're doing it late in the evening or first thing in the morning," Baker said.Detectives on the case aren't sure if the suspect is targeting pets or wild animals. One man told police he spent thousands of dollars at a vet after his dogs ate raw meet stuffed with needles."They both had to have exploratory surgery. Thousands of dollars incurred, and his dogs were laid up for a month," said Baker.Police told me they are confident that the person who is doing this is not targeting children because the candy was mostly buried in a way that was easy for dogs to find. Either way it is a crime, and police say anyone who knows anything should give them a call.

Funcom Announces New Alternate Reality MMODeveloper and publisher Funcom has announced initial details behind The Secret World, an upcoming PC and Xbox 360 MMO set in the modern day and revolving around mythology and conspiracy theory. The Secret World merges a contemporary setting with supernatural elements, allowing players to uncover the truth behind legends, myths, secret societies, magic, and more.
The Secret World springs from the imagination of director Ragnar Tornquist, creator of legendary adventure game The Longest Journey (PC) and last year's sequel Dreamfall (Xbox, PC), as well as story writer on Funcom's MMO Anarchy Online (PC). "We started envisioning this contemporary online world more than ten years ago, and as the years passed the ideas grew and improved," explained Tornquist. "We always wanted a different kind of online world, something scary and contemporary, something deeper and closer to our reality. Our goal now is to create a detailed world where players feel empowered and part of something big, something mystical and epic."
Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas pointed to the high number of MMOs featuring similar archetypal settings as motivation behind the different direction being taken by The Secret World. "We believe there are millions of gamers out there who want to explore something beyond traditional fantasy and sci-fi games," he said.
Over the last week, internet detectives have managed to uncover the existence of the game via the Funcom-created website DarkDaysAreComing.com and the recent launch of an official forum. Previously, the project has gone by the working titles of "Cry Gaia" and "The World Online," with Tornquist having dropped hints as to the nature of the game over the past year. According to today's announcement, The Secret World has been in development since last summer and has reached a playable state.
Funcom sent along several pieces of The Secret World concept artwork. No release period for the game has yet been announced.
Update: Funcom sent over one more piece of artwork, a poster-style teaser image.

The air was cool as the hour approached 10 last night. I stepped through my door and out to be under the summer sky. There were no stars. Clouds blocked their view. I pulled up a lawn chair, pulled a cigar from my pocket and a book of matches from another.
Darkness was all around. The orange glow of the foot was my only illumination. Though my eyes were dimmed, my ears were alive.
The sounds of God greeted me. The noise of man faded at the hour, replaced by the steady calls of His creation.

At the age of nine Fashion Designer Nanette created her first couture look by outfitting a neighbor in a gypsy bedspread cum dashiki and beaded choker. She painted sunflowers on her face and stood in the front yard with a cardboard sign that read "Lepore". Sensing the child's entrepreneurial talent her abstract painter father, and fabulously stylish mother, encouraged Nanette's creativity." …Read More

Department store Century 21 was found to be selling items with labels that did not indicate there was real fur used, according to a five-month-long investigation by the Humane Society of NY and NY State Assembly member Linda Rosenthal.
New York State law requires labels indicate whether fake or real fur was used in the manufacturing of the product.
The undercover investigation found fur-trimmed coats and other items contained fur from Chinese raccoon dogs. Among the brands with no accurate label was Marc Jacobs, according to the report.'
Century 21 responded to the report published in Crain's NY Business:
"Century 21 does not create garment labels, the manufacturers do. It is the manufacturer's responsibility to provide an accurate account of materials used in the garment and to be transparent with the consumer before his or her purchase."

Vivendi: Treyarch Has 'Done Better' Than Infinity Ward, IW Finished RestructuringCall of Duty: Black Ops developer Treyarch has bested series creator Infinity Ward, IGN reports Activision parent company Vivendi declared last week. IW will get to fire back, though, as it has finished restructing after its major staffing losses this year.
"The Treyarch studio, which made this year's game, has done better than what the Infinity Ward studio could achieve a year ago," said CEO Jean-Bernard Levy at the Morgan Stanley TMT Conference on Friday. He's certainly right sales-wise, as Cod Blops broke the entertainment industry-wide launch day and five-day sales records set by Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 last year. Cold Blops sold-through over $650 million in five days after launching on November 9.
Levy also reveals that "We have reconstructed Infinity Ward," adding that the company is "very happy" with the result. IW suffered a mass exodus of staff after Activision fired co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella in March for allegedly trying to "steal" the studio and using its resources for personal benefit. Around thirty-five had left as of May, with a number joining West and Zampella at their new studio Respawn Entertainment.
Infinity Ward will head back down the Cod mine, joining Treyarch and fledging studio Sledgehammer Games. "We believe this set up of studios working on Call of Duty has demonstrated it can do very well," Levy opined. It's been rumoured, bizarrely, that Sledgehammer might be working on an instalment starring space marines.

How do you know when you've found your party destination for the night? When you pull up and people are actually scaling the walls to get inside. When we arrived at Carbon Warehouse, an historic landmark near the train tracks in Berkeley, 3,000 people were already inside and another 2,000 were waiting to get in.
It was Special Delivery, a massive party full of West Coast street artists, DJs, and performers. When we say epic, we aren't kidding. We're talking 36,000 square feet, three huge floors of pure street art, and a party unlike any other. The entire event was hosted and curated by Endless Canvas, the West Coast street art and graffiti collective and blog.
We were speechless: Floor to ceiling murals by 300 West Coast artists covering everything from elevator shafts to columns. Mural after mural by renowned street artists including GATS, Pemex, Optimist, Pink Lady, Jules Muck, and Swampy. DJ Miggy Stardust spinning on the third floor. EarPeace Records making the crowd explode with their hip hop renditions on the first floor. Circles of break dancing happening throughout each floor, throwing down with styles from Dirty South to Le Tigre.
And then, right in the middle of it all, we sneaked up to the roof where more legendary graffiti crew art awaited us. There, the 360 views of Oakland, Berkley, and the San Francisco skyline silenced us again. Sometimes when the party is this good, it simply shuts you up.
Until the next Endless Canvas throw down (it's in a different U.S. city every year and features different projects, nothing is ever repeated), DJ Miggy Stardust (aka Roberto Miguel) gave us the low down on these three tracks to download:
• "Dance My Pain" by Rod Lee
• "Chippy Nonstop" by Kicked out the Club
• "Gas Pedal" by Saje the Gemini
And since our teammates always bring their A-game to the party, we're all invited to the next bash.

COREY KELLER: What DeFeo has done here is to perform a very simple act. Is to take a Kleenex box, a tissue box and put it on the platen glass of a photocopy machine.
NARRATOR: Corey Keller.
COREY KELLER: The photocopier operates basically like a camera. But there's something about the way a photocopier works in which something of the three dimensionality of the object that's placed on the glass is preserved.
Works made on a photocopier are both flat and three-dimensional at the same time. In the tissue box, it's very much apparent, the way the void of the hole where the tissues come out becomes very deep, and the texture of the tissue is pronounced, the pleating of the paper. It really highlights those aspects in a way that a straight photograph might not have done.

It's always miserable when we hit 90+ degrees and have ridiculous amounts of humidity, but to have an entire week of heat can become more than unpleasant, it can get dangerous.
So here are some creative way stay cool and hydrated as we head into a steamy hot holiday weekend.
- If you feel over heated, run cold water over your wrists for a few seconds to bring down your body temperature. Keep a wet washcloth in the freezer and use it on your neck, knees and feet.
- It sounds crazy, but digging into a spicy dish actually cools your body down by encouraging perspiration. Just don't OVER eat, that would be counterproductive and make you feel warmer. For dessert, swap ice cream for yogurt (which has a high water content) or fruit
- Store your body and face lotions in the fridge for an invigorating post shower experience!
- To get a better night's sleep, breathable silk sheets are the way to go—or sprinkle some baby powder on your cotton sheets to absorb dampness.
- Remember, heat rises—so the coolest air is closest to the ground. With that in mind, put your electric fan on the floor and aim it upwards!!
- And, of course, drink plenty of water!

Comments On Jul 12, 2014:I love how they actually included the needed capscrews for installation. Looks good, but not as wide as I am used to seeing on these. Hopefully, if ever having to test this on the harsh trails it will do its job and save the engine case !!

Comments On May 11, 2014:Built and designed awesome, and It was a great product, but it didn't fit the way i expected with my case guard and chain guide. The one i have on now is the chain guider and and case saver that covers around even the sprocket. Even with spacers it did not fall how i waned it. if you are only installing a case saver with out the sprocket casing cover and all, i do recommend this product.

DH is either drunk off his @$$ is or extremely good at faking it. He SAYS he's not drunk, but he sure is acting it. He doesn't usually get drunk, so I'm not sure how he acts when he's drunk.

W.S.C. CARILLON DEDICATION PRESENTATION Narrator Ladies and gentlemen - from the Stewart Carillon Tower - the Bells of Weber State College. Carillon #1 (Brief musical introduction) Narrator Perhaps no single musical instrument is so rich in beauty and tradition as is the carillon. Majestic, dignified and unique, the bells of the carillon are a grand reminder of inobling virtues and lofty ideals. Long associated as the instrument of the community, carillons were used anciently to summon the population to meetings, to warn of danger, proclaim a victory or toll a defeat. Bells were also used to proclaim curfue and for the playing of recitals on holidays and festive occasions. Carillons were the voice of the community, and their music, that of the land and its people. State and local campus planners wisely provided for a carillon tower as an integral part of the campus feeling that a tower and carillon of bells would symbolize the growth of the college and would serve as an association of the student with his alma mater in days to come. Standing as a campus landmark it would link the past with the future - a distinctive symbol of the development of the college.

President Rick Snyder.No. Not that president. Rick Snyder THE president…of the University of Michigan.Believe it or not the notion has been floating around this town ever since the Right to Work confrontation last December. At the time a bunch of Democrats were sitting around the table when someone tossed out the U-M spot for one of its most famous grads.Are you scratching your head wondering why?Here was the thinking. If you offer the job to the governor in return for a veto of the Right to Work bill, problem solved for labor.A source in the room confirms it was out there, but obviously never materialized.Then last April came the announcement that the current U of M president was riding off into the sunset. The rumor mill kicks in one more time. Folks on campus hear it which brings us to the current search process for a Dr. Mary Sue Coleman replacement.The caller on the other end of the line, a well known Democrat, was breathless. "It is on the street. Snyder is going to Michigan."But just a second. Mr. Snyder is a Republican and Democrats, by a 6-2 margin, control the U-M Board of Regents which will pick the prez. Why would they do it? They would if labor told them to do it.The strategy is clear. Remove the incumbent from the contest and you enhance the chances of Democrat Mark Schauer becoming governor.It makes sense on paper the speculators argue.Nobody will confirm any of this, but think about it. It's not too far-fetched to think early on in his life, private citizen Rick Snyder might have wanted the job. But this is a gentleman who likes to get things done and in the current climate at the university, who really runs the joint? You have an aggressive faculty with it's own agenda, you have the Regents who march to their own drummer and then there is the rest of the Maize and Blue world that is convinced it knows what is best for its alma mater.Which leaves the person in charge, not really in charge.Does that sound like something this governor would embrace?Since you've never seen him discuss it, one can only speculate. But if you know Richard Dale Snyder and watch how he operates, you could bet a pair of Rose Bowl tickets, the answer would be a polite thanks but no thanks.Besides if he was president, they'd have to drop all that Go Blue stuff for Go RPA instead. That alone would disqualify him from the post.And as for Mr. Schauer, he'll have to find another way to win.
