House Call: BlondeinBrooklyn on a Budget
New York
Name: BlondeinBrooklyn
Location: Cobble Hill, Brooklyn
My recent gut renovation of my kitchen was pulled together for less than $5000 (appliances included) proving that you don't have to spend a fortune to pull together a great looking kitchen. This philosophy extends to the rest of my (600 sq. ft.) 1 bedroom apartment as well...proving that there are no limits when it comes to mixing eBay finds with big box pieces — and all on small budget.
Thanks BlondeinBrooklyn!
We've had amazing response to our Apartment Therapy House Tour Submission Form that we launched last month. While we will work with homeowners of our favorite homes to feature full tours, we will also share the best as House Calls — short, quick tours of readers' homes. Submit your home here.

Job well done. I love really vibrabt colours, and your place includes them, while maintaining a very mellow feel. Wow!
great space! are you going to share your secrets for the wonderful rehab of your kitchen for such a fantastic price?
thanks for sharing.
The apartment looks great! I love the light fixture in the living room. Could recommend whoever did your electrical work? I'm getting ready to do some renovation on my apartment in Cobble Hill and am looking for a good electrician.
Lovely, and much more inspiring because it's the product of the real-world budgetary challenges many of us face. Congratulations on a beautiful home!
Very nice. It's nice to know that a new kitchen might actually be in my reach...someday. :)
From your design budget and results, we can see that blondes do have brains . . . and more fun! Great job! Can you tell us what you did and a rough idea of the cost?
Where do the colorful bowls with feathers/leaves on them (in the kitchen) come from?
The kitchen looks fantastic, as does the rest of the apartment! Where did you get your couch? I've been searching for something exactly like that!
Great place. Please source those back splash tiles--are they striped? Love them!
happiness, I've seen similar bowls at http://threepotatofourshop.com. Search "bowls." (Then get thyself to ebay)
Happiness, those bowls are Cathrineholm.
Grr, my comments aren't showing up.
Happiness, those bowls are Cathrineholm.
What a pleasant, bright and inviting apartment! Everything makes sense. It feels peaceful. That small magenta chair makes the living room. And good choice on the kitchen cabinet handles -- I have the same ones....
Funny question, but is that north light streaming in?
Hi all,
Thanks for your comments.
To Led - The chandelier in the living room was purchased at Lumens.com. The style is "Kimono" by George Kovacs.
To happiness- The bowls are vintage Catherine Holm "lotus" enamelware bowls. I've amassed quite a collection --- all found on eBay. Search "catherineholm" or "catherine holm".
To Decordiva - LOL - thanks! I gut renovated the kitchen - replacing everything. The key was finding the ikea cabinets that i liked and (cabinets hardware ran less than $1000) expensive looking tile for the backsplash. I had originally fallen in love with Angela Adams hand painted tile ($70 sq/ft) but quickly came to love this tile which was $8 sq/ft. I also got a great deal on the Silestone counter ($600) and all the appliances. I used A.J. Madison.
To MyHeroZero - the couch is from...Macy's!...I was shocked myself. It's the "Corona Sofa" and is on sale now!
Blonde, it looks fantastic. I'm a Cobble Hiller myself and would love to know where you got the stove/microwave combo. Also, do you happen to have a floorplan somewhere? Would love to see the birds-eye view. Great job!
Lovely colours and great choices in ceramics!
brava! place is so warm and homey; lovely kitchen!
Absolutely love the living room fixture! Thanks for the info on where to find it.
The chandelier is to die for!
Cineman - The stove was actually there when I moved in - I just bought the microwave/convection oven which is a GE Profile Spacemaker® XL1800 Microwave Oven from AJ Madison.com. Unfortunately I don't have a floorplan.
ValHalla - the tiles they are produced by Crossville Tile from the "Colorblox Too" line - the model is "Chopsticks" - I purchased them from Nemo Tile in Manhattan.
On the site you'll see them positioned vertically but I hung the tiles with the stripes going horizontal.
This is beautiful! I love your use of colors and your furniture placement.
Can you tell me anything about the coffee table? It appears to be just what I'm looking for.
Your apartment is beautiful!!
I'm in the same area as you and am planning to renovate my kitchen soon. Can you share the name of the contractor you used? Were you happy working with them?
Is the small hallway table from the Company Store?
Thanks so much for the tile info. Coincidence: I was watching "Designers Challenge" yesterday and saw the Adam'$ version!
The Graduate <b/> - I got the coffee table at Crate and Barrel two years ago. I think they, or CB2, might still have a similar version.
Alice42 - Yes, I got the console from the Company Store.
You have good taste, an eye for color, a sense of balance and the ability to edit. Nice.
I love your media console. Where did you get that?
Lovely. Re-doing my co-op in Queens. Love the soft beige wall color especially in the photo outside the kitchen with the console. Can you tell me the name of the color?
Why can't I see more than the 5 pics underneath the main picture? This is not the regular house tour format but whatever it is isn't working on my mac.
Transplanted - Its an antique - I bought it on eBay -- I got a great deal because there are minor flaws. Take a look on eBay - try using the search terms Eames, Retro or Swedish modern sideboard or credenza.
Geraldinerd - The color is actually more yellow than beige - its called "Straw" by Benjamin Moore - good luck with your reno!
Inza - This is what's called a "House Call" --- I had submitted for a house tour with additional pics but they chose just to do a short feature. If asked I'd be happy to share more pics!
really a beautiful job - your color palette is so balanced and sophisticated - very calming. Can you tell me who installed the cabinets, the floor tiles, wall tiles, and appliances - i am really impressed. great job!
i'm late to the party, but i really just love this place. great job!
Looks good! And $600 for the silestone countertops?! Where at please share!! I'm finding it for a lot more than that....also, what color are they? I'm in Brooklyn too, but more downtown Brooklyn/Brooklyn Heights area.
Fabulous! I love it!
LOVE the PURPLE couch! Cool place!
What a good use of small space! My friend just moved to Cobble Hill and is considering that sofa as well. What color is yours and how is it holding up? Is it comfortable for lounging? For that price, I may get one for my place too!
Sammyq - I must admit it was quite a find! The color is chocolate brown and is holding up well. Macy's actually has an insurance that you can buy and if you spill anything on it you can get a replacement.
Can you tell us where you purchased your Silestone and what is the measurement of your countertop? $600 is wayyyy cheap! Thanks :)
My comments/questions are missing, too... Hmmm.
This is so cute and sweet. I really like how you have the curtains, but left yourself the option of also being able to use the shade. Great idea.

Dear Guidance Counselors,
Lincoln Academy is an online home school option that is a win-win for your high school and the student. As you know if a student drops out or even withdraws they count on your school report card as a dropout. However, if the student enrolls in a home school program, the student has a good chance of getting a diploma and your school has one less dropout on its record. Unfortunately not all students will make it through our traditional high school system and/or pass the state required tests. It is for these unsuccessful students that Lincoln Academy has been developed. If you have any students that are in need of an alternative to the traditional high school program, please give them information about Lincoln Academy. If you need flyers, please send a request to firstname.lastname@example.com or you can download one here.

can they run it on my toaster next?
the fatties got ripped apart by the zombies first
Same thing happened on Zombieland too
I lied the part where the sheriff does a quick draw on the guy in center field.
I'd rather be a fatty in a tank than an unarmed and unprotected Olympian.
Anonymous cowards post too much. Stop arguing about this. If you are too cowardly to use your name and you post 5 times a day you are posting too much. It's that simple. Time to cut your throat, asshole.
Anonymous cowards post too much. Stop arguing about this. If you are too cowardly to use your name and you post 5 times a day you are posting too much. It's that simple. Time to cut your throat, asshole.
With that you have identified yourself as a fattie. A lard-ass. A gluttonous over-eater. A double-chinner who can't remember what his feet look like because he long ago couldn't see them anymore. It's no one's fault but your own, fattie. Try respecting yourself. Do that and suddenly you take better care of yourself. Or you can give a million reasons why your constant overeating is somehow somebody else's fault. Then you can be puzzled and amazed that you aren't losing weight. See the second you man up and take responsibility for your life is the moment you can change things about yourself. Such as your jiggly rolls of adipose fat.
That's what is really wrong with fatties. It's a mental disease. It's a "can't be my fault" delusion. It's a "no connection between the choices I make and the results I experience" delusion. It's an inability to cope with reality and reality says you're a fatass. Hating fatties is not superficial. It's ugly for a good reason. They don't get hassled about being lard-asses nearly enough.
Ah well. Nothing is funnier than fat rage. Whattya gonna do, sit on me? Oh wait, you could never catch me because I'm not a lard-ass. You couldn't go one round either because your flabby ass would be out of breath. Try losing your lard. Then you can make your pathetic little threats. If you don't get heart disease or diabetes first.
Enjoying yourself, I hope. Like the asshole doctor who told me I needed to lose weight, as if I didn't already know that since before he was born, your comments have exactly zero impact on my future behavior. And I'm smiling ear to ear at the pleasant thought of your violent death next week.
Anonymous cowards post too much. Stop arguing about this. If you are too cowardly to use your name and you post 5 times a day you are posting too much. It's that simple. Time to cut your throat, asshole.
There are reasons other than cowardice for posting AC, you know.
Yeah, but when you combine it with blatant trolling, it's a pretty good guess that you're not dealing with an oppressed political dissident or a whistle-blower, just a douchebag manifesting the GIFT.
I'm putting this under the "toaster" comment not only because of the traditional usage of "toaster" to refer to any small machine (there have been actual toasters running NetBSD for years...) but because you might alternatively want to put Raspberry PopTarts in your toaster, and I need to make it clear that you shouldn't put Raspberry Pi in your toaster, even if it is RoHS-compliant.
But a Raspberry Pi computer is designed to attach to your TV, works fine with TVs that don't already have web-toasters built in, is something you can take to random hotels with randomly-filtered ISP service, doesn't cost much, and should have enough horsepower to run Tor. It may not have enough storage for some of the classic applications for Tor-on-a-TV, such as downloading pirated movies, but maybe a USB disk drive can fix that.
Yes and a proper HTCPCP compliant coffee pot would be nice, too.
Two minutes behind the first first post [slashdot.org] .
That's what you get for using tor.
Just seconds behind the first person to use that joke. Maybe if you didn't use Tor...
OK, let's get the obvious question out of the way: Why would I want to run Tor on my TV? Honestly, I don't get why. I don't see anywhere on the site that explains why it would be a good thing for me to run my TV on the Tor network.
Well, there is the, "Because I can" factor. But it also could provide some interesting safety measures when using a built-in browser on some televisions. Yes, there are televisions with a web browser. Why? Because some people like the idea.
Even so, of all the computers in your house, this is the oddest choice for using as a router. Why not
.. um .. your router?
To take some of the load off your other hardware maybe. Though the router is where a LOT of things would make more sense to run if you could - bittorrent for example. no needing to deal with one computer on your network trying to bury your router with connections.
No, my router routes. The closest thing to a service that it provides is NAT. I don't worry about it getting buried in connections because I bought a router (Cisco 881 at a surplus yard) that would stand up to the abuse I throw at it.
Yes, there are televisions with a web browser. Why? Because some people like the idea.
I like the idea; I have a computer plugged into my TV. With that setup I have no use for cable at all; most of the channels are on Hulu, most of the networks stream their shows from their websites, and I don't actually have to be in front of the TV at 7:00 Thursday night to see BBT. All I have to do is log on to CBS's web site and get the latest stream. It's like having a DVR and not having to take the bother to set it up for recording.
Some TV's come with Netflix and (as mentioned by another user) web browsers. A lot of content out there is limited to specific countries; for example most Canadian TV networks (comedy network, space, etc) have TV shows available for viewing but locked to Canadian IPs; likewise for American networks and American IPs. Netflix, Amazon, etc, all do the same. If you could choose an exit node in any given country, you'd effectively have a nice proxy for these geographically locked services.
have you ever used tor ? its slower than a hayes 14.4k modem over a crappy phone line. and thats for web browsing, not media.
But if everybody's TV was a Tor relay node, then it would be way fast. This is why Tor-on-TV (or Tor-on-toaster) is a Good Thing. These relays don't need to be exit nodes.
OK, let's get the obvious question out of the way: Why would I want to run Tor on my TV? Honestly, I don't get why. I don't see anywhere on the site that explains why it would be a good thing for me to run my TV on the Tor network.
There will come a day when you can't torrent or download TV shows anymore. So this will be nice.
So, that's the day that I stop watching Dancing with the Stars and begin interacting with living human beings for my entertainment?
Bring it on all the swifter.
why the hell would you download danceing with the stars?
why the hell would you download danceing with the stars?
So you can not watch the whole series all at once.
Believe it or not, there is some good television left in the world. It's often highly scattered, though, and not all of it is legally available in any one country. Over the summer, for instance, I started watching "This Is Not My Life," a Prisoner-esque drama from New Zealand. The show never aired in my country, nor are DVD's or legal downloads available anywhere, so I pirated it. Not everything is Dancing With the Stars, and some of what's not isn't available except by piracy. Tor can help keep you safe while you're pirating. The downside, of course, is that you'll die of old age long before your download finishes.
Look, Smithers! Gabbo is coming!
So that nobody can tell that you're browsing child porn in your living room, of course.
Kiddie porn?
You get good karma! The phrase "contribute to strengthen the Tor network" mean anything to you? The idea is that you share spare CPU cycles from your media player, and a tiny stream of electric power you can afford, and offer another node in the whole Tor network, running on your media player instead of your laptop or PC. You may not get any immediate benefit, and it surely doesn't change your TV viewing choices. Besides you're not supposed to be peeking at the stream of Tor traffic anyway. However, the whole community benefits if we all share together. Of course, your freedom to do so may vary based upon your own political viewpoints about privacy and state control of the media.
Wouldn't that be a treat.
What other platforms do you think are viable for it?"
Since pedos use tor it should be the obvious choice.
I just grabbed the newest version, the WDTV Live Streaming Server "Gen 3", which is essentially the "Hub" product without the internal hard drive.
Will WDXLTV be available for this model ever? If so, do I really care? It plays *everything* I throw at it...so what else does XL do, other than being a torrent/usenet client?
Probably any recent LG tv they all pretty much run busybox...
If I had a compiler for it (probably an arm variant) and a toolchain for it (think its up on the LG site). I could put just about *any* program on the tv as long as there is enough memory. But I dont. As I have a computer for that sort of thing. Which is *way* more capable for the task at hand.
I used to run with a 386-16 up clocked to a 386-25. I dont have it anymore because I have a computer that is *WAY* more capable.
These sorts of articles are somewhat silly 'general purposes computer runs random XYZ software'. Its almost a 'yeah and....'
I presume you mean all Xerox copier and printers produced in the last year? Many of the Xerox products I've used predate Linux, let alone VNC and Ogg. Of course, they also predate LCD screens with informational videos....
I do think it's nifty that Xerox was able to produce something using some of its own tech though... who knew VNC would be useful for anything beyond the XEROX Parc mobile desktop?
> *way* more capable
The word for which you are searching is "much". Much more capable.
I think torrent/usenet is probably the big thing. I think there was one hack that allowed you to send remote control commands to the device via the network, which would be cool if you wanted to control the device through a smart phone or tablet device.
I have a Live Plus. WDLXTV has a web-controlled back end, and through the add-ons manager on version
Whatever happened to a tv just being a tv? And even if we could, why the fuck would anyone want to do this? Streaming? Come on, you saps! You're letting big business turn our world into the vision of George Orwell. 1984 anyone? Just rememberThey're Watching You!
Its much better to use Tor to watch British TV here is how to do it http://www.caledoniacomputers.com/?p=1880 and its free for Linux users.
I am located in germany and I stream videos blocked by GEMA over US exit nodes I picked by their bandwidth.
It works great. Also with HD videos.
Also: SOPA will make ICANN useless and international alternatives will prosper. SOPA will make TOR prosper.
SOPA is the kind of escalation that will have consequences the proponents of that bill do not understand... yet.
SOPA is the kind of escalation that will have consequences the proponents of that bill do not understand... yet.
Unless those consequences include selective assassination of those proponents and their families, wholesale destruction of their property and massive extermination of the personnel working for them, they do not care. They simply have to bribe the lawmakers into making anything not beyond a paywalled garden illegal, and they will have their cake (paid by us) and eat it too.
As a result of inexperienced police departments, running a TOR exit node can have some serious consequences.
So the idea of ubiquitous TOR is great, but in practice I'm be leary of endorsing having TOR enabled [everything].
For now, it should remain the domain of experienced users who are running TOR with their eyes open.
You can say it's a chicken or egg kind of situation, but I don't want my family to be one of the eggs that gets broken because of the content coming out of their TOR exit node.
Using Tor or being an intermediate relay poses no such risk.
Using Tor or being an intermediate relay poses no such risk.
Correct. Running an exit node is for the brave or those who live in countries with sensible laws. The rest of us can contribute by running relay nodes, and not allowing exit traffic.
This is why you load it up on other people's TVs.
Is the goal to flood the Tor network with so much traffic that the feds might not be able to catch your bittorrent downloads?
Bittorrent is the least of my worries...
Running BitTorrent over Tor is stupid:
1. Malicious exit nodes can correlate your BT streams to your Tor web browsing, and learn your real IP.
2. The high bandwidth used by BT cripples the Tor network for everyone else
3. Most popular BT clients send the tracker your IP anyway.
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/bittorrent-over-tor-isnt-good-idea [torproject.org]
If you want anonymous P2P, then I2P is a much better option.
1. Malicious exit nodes can correlate your BT streams to your Tor web browsing, and learn your real IP.
How exactly can they do this? Why would your web browsing have any correlation to your BT streams?
3. Most popular BT clients send the tracker your IP anyway.
This is definitely a risk. It is probably best mitigated by ensuring that the client doesn't know your IP (NAT, no route to internet, etc).
If you want anonymous P2P, then I2P is a much better option.
Assuming you don't want to actually download anything. What is actually available on I2P? How does its library compare with any of the trackers on the internet at large? The reason people use tor isn't because it is more secure, but because it lets you browse the internet that you already use.
Sure, it does create more traffic on the network, but most of its other problems are really not much different than the sorts of problems people can run into using a browser with tor.
1. Malicious exit nodes can correlate your BT streams to your Tor web browsing, and learn your real IP.
How exactly can they do this? Why would your web browsing have any correlation to your BT streams?
Sorry, should have been more clear. Because Tor conserves circuits for reasons of efficiency, it is possible for an exit node to build a profile of the activity of a circuit by inspecting the data leaving that circuit. If you are browsing via Tor while running a BT session, the data from the two sessions can be sent over the same circuit. The exit node can learn your IP from the BT stream (BT client tells tracker what unique random port it's listening on, exit node sees connection to tracker at unique port number, faulty BT client sends IP to tracker) and correlate that to the web traffic on the same circuit. They now know what you're browsing, and what your IP is. Anonymity broken. It's explained in the post I linked to.
Like you say, if your BT client doesn't know its real IP (NAT etc), then you're OK. It's a question of all the lemons lining up.
Assuming you don't want to actually download anything. What is actually available on I2P? How does its library compare with any of the trackers on the internet at large? The reason people use tor isn't because it is more secure, but because it lets you browse the internet that you already use.
Chicken and egg problem. If more people used I2P for their filesharing, then there would be more files available over I2P. A few benevolent individuals are seeding more and more. But yes, I understand that people prefer to proxy their normal things over Tor rather than switch entirely to new networks. It's just a shame that in doing so they hurt the Tor network.
There was a suggestion a while ago that someone ought to make a bitTORrent client which ran a Tor relay on every BT peer. This would solve the bandwidth problem. Don't know if any work was ever done on it.
Tor is horrible for any type of file sharing, and likely to just fail for lack of connections. Most outbound nodes have defaults to only support a few protocols on. HTTP(S) is the most popular supported. File sharing and email being the least supported of all, for obvious reasons.
There was some early work on integrating TOR into DD-WRT, but it didn't get very far. Though its still possible, that hack is brutal. I first looked into this when one of my sports subscriptions for streaming games blocks local teams through the use of GeoIP. I simply wanted to hide my ip to appear coming from some other location. As it turns out, TOR is not at all effective for streaming media anyway and doesn't appear to handle flash video at all.
None. It's a bad idea and will get nowhere. There are already enough solutions to watch world-wide TV. If Tor is the answer to watch 'home movies' then I for one wouldn't support it.
With tor on WDTV, you can stream CP as Tor is pretty much used for this... prove me otherwise slashdot...
Start with the fact that you can't even use Tor to stream ZP [escapistmagazine.com] , much less CP...
Ha! Like any hidden service has enough bandwidth to stream anything.
Tor is used by many people who want anonymity. The fact that CP enthusiasts and other criminals use it is testament to the robustness of the anonymity it provides.
Making Tor easy to set up and use has been an understandable goal of Tor folk. Getting it on TVs is perhaps an extension of that goal. I can see potential problems with this mainstreaming strategy though:
(1) The number of client users has increased dramatically but is the number of nodes increasing to match? If not, the network will choke to a halt eventually (not just because of TV use of course).
(2) Our freedom-fearing faux democratic governments have tolerated Tor (and some of its scarier or subversive uses) while it was relatively obscure, a minority interest, slow as treacle, and "techy" - difficult for Joe Dumbass to get his head around. But it's got easier, faster and more popular. Never assume they couldn't find a way to make all tor usage illegal. I'm surprised it's taken this long. And don't cite the US Constitution (for eg) at me, that won't be a barrier when they really don't want it in the road. Even if they can't, they can try to establish enough malicious nodes and exploits to try to bust the bad traffic. But once the network is proven compromised for that, it proven compromised for everything.
I'm running MCE 2005 on my TV with two analog tuners (useless since September 2011 in Canada).
It runs MAME and other emulators, and I can run about anything I want on that thing (the limiting factors are its CPU, an old 3000+ Athlon and its video card, an old 6600 non-gt silent)
2GB ram, 3 1TB drives + a 120GB for system

The Chadron State College Jazz Festival will be held in March of 2015. The CSC Jazz Festival is dedicated to the encouragement of instrumental and vocal jazz in our schools and is open to big bands, combos, and vocal jazz groups at the high school, junior high, or collegiate level. Its purpose is to foster a non-competitive, positive, and supportive learning environment for jazz groups of all skill levels.
The festival will include the following:
By utilizing our own faculty, we have been able to reduce your expenses for this festival, with the hope of increasing participation in the event. The fee for each school system is $50, with a fee of $25 per performing ensemble. In other words, if you bring one performing group, your cost is $75, two groups would be $100, and three would be $125. If you do not have a performing ensemble, but wish to have your students attend the clinics and performances, the cost is $50 for the school.
Directors may choose to have the students buy lunch in our cafeteria or bus the students to one of the fast food restaurants in town. CSC Jazz Festival t-shirts will be available for purchase.
In an effort to streamline our educational offerings and to focus on the expertise that our faculty has to offer, we have discontinued show choir participation at this festival. The CSC Music Department can best serve the needs of area jazz groups. We certainly encourage middle school and high school participation in other performing ensembles, and hope your show choir's educational needs will be met by other events in the state.
Please contact Dr. Michael Stephens at 308-432-6320 or firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions about the festival.

(Toledo News Now) - Mighty Light is a motion light that promises a lot of brightness in a tiny $10 gadget, but Does it Work?
Hays Hendricks walked through a pitch black storage room in her basement and immediately the Mighty Light turned on. It remained on for about a minute, which Hays said was plenty of time to fumble around for the light switch.
She then put it at the foot of a staircase to see just how bright Mighty Light would shine. Unfortunately, it did not illuminate the entire stairwell. Hendricks said you would want to put a tiny Mighty Light at the top and bottom of a staircase if you really wanted to have motion lights in place.
Still, she thinks it would be handy and likes the $10 price tag.
"I think you need to use it in small spaces, but yes, it's plenty bright for that, at least. I think it's affordable and seems to live up to its promises," said Hendricks.
Mighty Light runs on a one-minute cycle. Hendricks also noticed the area needs to be pitch black to get it to work properly. If there is a lot of light, Mighty Light will not sense motion and will not turn on.
Mighty Light is mighty enough to earn a "B+" on this Does it Work test. It can be purchased at Walmart.

GMO Bill in works - not good

GMO Bill in works - not good
This is a partial letter from the Organic Consumers Assoc.
Last week, after learning that the Grocery Manufacturers Association (Big Foods lobbying group), had petitioned the FDA to allow food makers to use the word natural on GMO-contaminated foods, we predicted a treacherous road ahead for the anti-GMO movement in 2014.
In 2013, we warned about a letter to the FDA asking the agency to finalize its 2001 guidance on voluntary labeling of GMOsa move we suggested then, and still believe, would preempt state and federal mandatory labeling of GMOs.
In a recent op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, two former government officials floated the idea of a compromise that would include allowing specific amounts of GMOs, and/or exemptions for certain ingredients, such as high fructose corn syrup or canola oil, where processing has made it impossible to detect GMO ingredients. The authors also reiterated industrys argument that if consumers want GMO-free, they can buy organic. In response, one scientist told the OCA:
That is a smokescreen that allows the biotech industry to avoid taking responsibility for the harm caused by their patented, transgenic creations. Without mandatory GMO labeling, there is no way to understand public health impacts or conduct epidemiological research on diets containing GMOs.
After decades of quietly profiting by contaminating food products with cheap, unsafe GMO-contaminated ingredients, the food industry sees those profits at risk. Theyve spent millions to defeat laws that are common in 60 other countries. Now, in an effort to undermine state laws, and subvert the democratic process, Big Food wants to cut a deal with Congress and the FDA. A deal that will provide no meaningful protection for consumers, and hand industry yet another free pass to poison and pollute.
Consumers have been clear. More than 90 percent of us want mandatory GMO labeling laws. No voluntary schemes. No watered-down regulations. No compromises. Please sign our petition to the FDA asking the agency to reject any federal law that is weaker than the state laws already passed in Maine and Connecticut, and proposed in Vermont and other states.
Read the proposed bill:
Let your congress people know your thoughts!

GRATIOT, Wis. (WSAU-Wheeler News) -- Lafayette County officials are suing the estate of an elected official for alleged embezzlement.
Robert Hermanson, elected as treasurer and clerk for the Village of Gratiot, is accused of stealing 134-thousand dollars over a five-year period from the town. When he was confronted with evidence of the scheme, Hermanson was found dead the next day. Lafayette County authorities ruled his death a suicide.
Court records also indicate Hermanson paid himself a salary of 18-thousand dollars… the position is supposed to be voluntary.

Tafraoute is worth all the effort and time it takes to reach, approached by scenic roads through the Anti-Atlas from Tiznit or Agadir – both are beautiful, but the Tiznit approach has the edge, winding through a succession of gorges and a grand mountain valley. With your own transport, you can also get here from Ifrane de l'Anti-Atlas, Igherm or (with 4WD) Aït Herbil. Tafraoute is a centre for villages built among a wind-eroded, jagged panorama of granite tors – "like the badlands of South Dakota", as Paul Bowles put it, "writ on a grand scale". The best time to visit is early spring, when the almond trees are in full blossom, or in autumn, after the intense heat has subdued; in midsummer, it can be debilitatingly hot.
Created as an administrative centre by the French, and little expanded since, Tafraoute is one of the most relaxed destinations in Morocco, though a few faux guides may still make a nuisance of themselves, claiming to be the guides mentioned in this and other books, and spinning all sorts of yarns to coax the unwary into carpet shops where they can be subjected to the old hard-sell routine.Read More
Ground squirrels
Ground squirrels
Along the road from Tiznit to Tafraoute, you may occasionally see children holding little furry animals for sale – live, on a piece of string – by the roadside. These are ground squirrels, which are known locally as anzid or sibsib, and are destined for the tajine dish, in which they are considered quite a delicacy, their flesh being sweet since they subsist mainly on a diet of almonds and argan nuts. Recognizable by the prominent stripes down their backs, and by their long tails, ground squirrels are common in the tropics, and have long been ascribed medicinal properties in Morocco. You will not get anzid tajine in any restaurant, however, unless perhaps you provide the squirrels yourself.
Tafraoute: village economics
Tafraoute: village economics
Among Tafraoute villagers, emigration to work in the grocery and hotel trade – all over Morocco and France – is a determining aspect of life. The men return home to retire, however, building European-looking villas amid the rocks, and most of the younger ones manage to come back for a month's holiday each year – whether it be from Casablanca, Tangier, Paris or Marseille.
But for much of the year, it is the women who run things in the valley, and the only men to be found are the old, the family-supported or the affluent. It is a system that seems to work well enough: enormously industrious, and very community-minded, the Tafraoutis have managed to maintain their villages in spite of adverse economic conditions, importing all their foodstuffs except for a little barley, the famed Tafraoute almonds and the sweet oil of the argan tree.

Walter E. Larson Collection M/A 2007.01.01
|Larson, Walter Edwin, 1900-1979
|Walter E. Larson Collection
|1.0 boxes
|James K. Hosmer Special Collections Library
Walter E. Larson was born in La Crosse Wisconson and moved to Minneapolis with his parents when he was 3 years old. He attended Sheridan and Vocational schools, and entered the meat business in 1924.
Walter Edwin Larson (April 27, 1900 - April 23, 1979) on Feb. 7, 1933, married Katherine (later Catherine) Mary Semanko (June 14, 1903-March 8, 1976) at St. Mary's Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church, now known as St. Mary Orthodox Cathedral, in Northeast Minneapolis. They had four sons: Norman Walter ( Aug. 22, 1934), Lawrence Edmund (July 23, 1937), David Gregory (Nov. 7, 1940) and Glenn Thomas (Feb. 1, 1943).
Also in 1933 Walter opened a meat market at 2203 Johnson St. NE. He ran Larson Bros. Meats there, and an older brother, Al, ran the meat market they owned at 13th Avenue and 3rd St. NE. Walter became sole owner of the Johnson Street market, and after WWII, he sold it to the three Ready Brothers (Dan, Jack and Warren) who had worked for him. As of November 2010, Ready Meats was still in business, located at Johnson Street and 36th Avenue NE., although the Ready family is not involved in its ownership.
After leaving the meat business, Walter joined the Clinic Equipment Co. for a short time and served as its president. Then in 1947 four Polish men and Walter, of Norwegian and Swedish descent, organized the 13th Avenue State Bank at the corner of 13th Avenue and Second Street NE. in the building that had housed the Second Northwestern National Bank, which had been moved to the Midway District of Minneapolis/St. Paul. The five men (two Rays and three Walters) felt that the local businesses and families needed a bank in that section of Northeast Minneapolis. They gathered a group of other community leaders and residents, chartered a bus and took their petition for a bank charter to the Minnesota State Capitol. The charter for the 13th Avenue State Bank of Minneapolis was granted on Nov. 20, 1947, a real accomplishment since the State of Minnesota had not issued any new bank charters during the previous 25 years. The bank had its grand opening on Jan. 3, 1948.
President of the bank was Raymond J. Julkowski, a lawyer and state senator. Vice President was Raymond A. Mikolajczyk, a professional banker, and Walter Larson was Cashier. These three plus the other two men who organized the bank: Dr. Walter S. Warpeha Sr., a dentist, and Walter A. Kostick, who was president and general manager of the Aero-Flex Lift Co. - formed the bank's Board of Directors.
In 1958, Walter Rasmussen bought the bank. He had worked at a small bank early in his career and was always fascinated by banking, but he ventured into the commercial real estate market of Minneapolis before becoming owner of his own bank. He renamed it Northeast Bank and moved it to a new building at the corner of Broadway and Marshall Streets NE. Additional offices are in Columbia Heights and Coon Rapids. Maintaining a link to the bank's founders is Dr. Walter S. Warpeha Jr., who is a member of the bank's current Board of Directors.
Description of the Collection
One box. This collection contains a scrapbook of newspaper clippings compiled by Larson at the time of the 13th Avenue State Bank of Minneapolis grand opening on December 13, 1947. The opening of the bank was rescheduled for January 3, 1948, because of a delay of fixtures. In addition to the scrapbook, the collection contains a few letters from the bank from 1948 and 1949, addressed to stockholders, introducing services offered by the bank.

Leaders of the Montgomery Humane Society say a starving dog wandering around West Montgomery will probably survive after a WSFA 12 News employee and two other people found the animal and called for help.
The brown dog with four white paws was visibly emaciated, its ribs showing and its neck raw.
WSFA 12 News assignment editor Vince Hodges, whom we're now told is the dog's name sake, was out shooting video for a news report when he spotted the dog along West Patton Avenue a few blocks from the station.
Vince called the Montgomery Humane Society while the other folks found bread and water for the distressed animal. The pooch quickly devoured the meal before being transported by humane society employees.
It was not originally believed the dog, now named "Vince", would survive, but officials with the humane society say after examining him, it's believed he can recover despite what they called "horrific injuries" and malnutrition.
Vince Hodges, a true newsman not wanting to be part of the story, wasn't looking for publicity when asked in the newsroom for his own statement for a story. He shook his head and said his kids can now say he's famous.
He did say he hopes others will look at the pictures and, if possible, support their local shelters in some way.

When it comes to car maintenance, it's easy to let a lot of things slide. But if you neglect your brakes, you're putting yourself and others at risk. Our auto expert Steve Strope shares some warning signs you should never ignore.
"So much of car maintenance is about keeping your car going," says Strope. "But even more critical is being able to stop. Unfortunately, a lot of drivers neglect their brakes until it's too late."How long it takes for your brakes to wear out depends on several factors, including your own driving habits. So it's important to recognize some of the warning signs. Here are six things to listen and look for."Number one, there's a very high-pitched squeal every time you come to a stop. That squeal is by design. Brake pad manufacturers put a little piece of metal called an 'indicator' on the pad itself. When the pad wears down to about a quarter-inch thick or less, that indicator makes contact with the rotor and squeals," says Strope.The second warning sign to listen for is a grinding noise when you apply the brake. This could mean the metal on the pad base is exposed and is grinding against the rotor.The third warning sign is a shaking or vibration in the steering wheel when you apply the brakes. This could be caused by a misalignment between the pad and rotor or, even worse, the rotor's worse.Number four is long pedal travel. If your foot goes all the way to the floor when you're applying the brakes, you need your brakes inspected now!Number five, you might notice a bad metallic-like smell when you apply the brakes. This also merits a brake inspection.The sixth warning sign - you feel the brakes actually pull the car to the left or the right. Now there are a few things that actually cause this 'brake pull' like a misaligned caliper or a collapsed brake hose.So get yourself to a qualified mechanic and have your brakes inspected. He'll be able spot any trouble before there's serious damage.

The setup was bizarre.
North Korean officials whisked a CNN team away in a van, purportedly to go meet with a high-ranking government official.
Hours later, they arrived in the capital and were presented with three Americans held captive in the reclusive country.
Like virtually everything in Pyongyang, the interviews were carefully managed by the regime. Each man had exactly five minutes to speak. Some of their statements seemed eerily similar.
So what was the government's motive in letting Kenneth Bae, Matthew Todd Miller and Jeffrey Edward Fowle address the world?
"First of all, their motivation always behind these interviews has been to gather U.S. attention and then try to pave a way for high-level dialogue with Washington," said Ellen Kim of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
During their interviews Monday, all three men said they hope the U.S. government will send an envoy to help get them out of their situations -- similar to how former President Bill Clinton helped secure the release of two journalists in 2009.
"I do believe that (a) special envoy need to come in order to resolve the situation I am in right now," said Bae, who is serving 15 years at a labor camp after North Korea claimed he was part of a Christian plot to overthrow the regime.
What might North Korea want in return?
"Their negotiating ploy with the U.S. is to try to get us to agree to nuclear arms control, to sort of accept them as a nuclear weapons state -- which we can't do," said Michael Green of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Another possibility: That North Korea wants sanctions against the regime lifted.
Victor Cha, the North Korea adviser to former President George W. Bush, said the presentation of all three Americans at once could be telling.
"My guess is the fact that all three of them were put on tape for an American audience on Labor Day as a signal from the North Koreans that they're looking for some sort of package deal to try to get them all out," Cha said.
"Whether they're trying to connect this to the long-style nuclear negotiations is anybody's guess."
Washington responds
The detainees' surprise interviews with CNN's Will Ripley on Monday prompted renewed calls out of Washington for the men's release.
"Out of humanitarian concern for Jeffrey Fowle, Matthew Miller, and their families, we request the DPRK release them so they may return home," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, using the initials for North Korea's official name -- the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
She said the United States is in "regular, close coordination" with the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang, which acts as the "protecting power for issues involving U.S. citizens in North Korea."
But it's apparent the three men are now being used by North Korea as "bargaining chips," said Bill Richardson, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who has traveled to the isolated country.
"They're sending a signal, saying, 'We're ready to bargain for the three hostages,'" Richardson said.
What the detainees said
All three men said they have signed statements admitting their guilt. North Korean officials monitored and recorded all three interviews, and CNN was unable to assess independently the conditions under which the men were being held.
Bae said he is working eight hours a day, six days a week at a labor camp, even though he said his health has "been failing" over the past 1½ months. The 46-year-old has diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney stones.
Despite what he called "hard labor," Bae said he has been treated "as humanely as possible."
U.S. officials have repeatedly called on North Korea to release Bae, but to no avail.

Will Apache Be Impacted By Kirchner's Reelection?
Jordo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
At Apache's (NYSE: APA) third quarter earnings conference call, it was announced that the company has progressed in Argentina. The country is in the news at the moment because of the protests against Cristina Kirchner, who has held power for the last five years. Argentineans have been protesting at the possibility of Cristina being reelected. Going forward, I will examine how a Kirchner reelection would impact Apache, which has a considerable stake in the country's oil and natural gas production.
G. Steven Farris, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Member of Executive Committee at Apache noted that the company has been successful worldwide. He also revealed that Apache's drilling momentum has accelerated and production has increased quite a bit too. He suggested that there has been an extraordinary progress in Argentina, where the company completed its first Vaca Muerta horizontal well. The well was a relatively short lateral and measures about 1,900 feet with just 7 fracs. The well is still in an initial stage, but he assured investors that the results have been very encouraging.
Mr. Farris also noted that Apache has been able to set the economics of the play, suggesting that the company has ample freedom to work within Argentina at the moment. Apache has planned 4 additional horizontal tests in the next 6 months and with more than 450,000 net acres to consider, the company has a lot of area to explore, drill, and operate. While Apache's fundamentals and numbers have been particularly impressive, many investors and observers have noted that its confidence when it comes to Argentinean operations may be questionable.
These doubts are valid, and need to be addressed in order to understand the risks of Apaches business in Argentina. Cristina Kirchner has been quite supportive when it comes to oil companies that operate within Argentina. Her only grouse is that she wants to pretend that the Falkland Islands belong to Argentina, in order to appeal to the popular vote. She has also threatened to penalize American oil companies that forge a relationship with the Falkland Islands government, and Noble Energy (NBL) is one of them. Noble has managed to sign deals with the Falkland Islands government, attracting the ire of Cristina.
However, the company has not cared much about her empty rhetoric ad plans to drill by 2015. Now, Apache has remained mum about its position in the Falkland Islands. I do not think the company has any interest in entangling itself in a mess in the Falkland Islands. For all we know, Apache might just stick to Argentina at the moment and even revel in its privileged position within the country, as it has tried to stay away from regional politics.
If Cristina Kirchner is reelected, Apache will continue to enjoy its privileged position in Argentina. If she loses the election mid-next year, Apache will be able to not only assert its privileged position with the next government but also look for possibilities in the Falkland Islands. It would be very interesting to see how Apache will play the game, in either of the cases. In my opinion, Cristina will not win this election as the protests are continuing to rage on the streets of Buenos Aires. She may lose the election to a far more rational and pro-international government which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to Apache yet again.
No matter what the outcome of this election is going to be, Apache will continue to maintain its privileged position and that will surely affect the company's fundamentals and numbers. Cristina has faced a lot of criticism for opting a very populist tone, while the Argentinean economy is in shambles. Her empty rhetoric against capitalism, her claim towards the Falkland Islands, and the way she has treated her opposition have all led to a seething resentment against her. Current opinion towards Cristina Kirchner is very negative in Argentina.
Many months ago, it was reported that Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC) is eyeing oil fields in the Falkland Islands. However, we have not heard about that until now and Anadarko may not be particularly interested in the Falkland Islands, considering how messy the political scenario is in the Falkland Islands. When we talk about political confusions related to oil companies, we must also consider the problems that Chevron (NYSE: CVX) and ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) find themselves in Russia. Vladimir Putin has been very cooperative and welcoming towards foreign oil companies. He allotted ExxonMobil areas in the Northern Russia, while Chevron has major oil and gas projects in the southern region. Putin has successfully avoided conflicts between Exxon and Chevron by allotting completely different geographical regions. If Cristina is reelected in Argentina, she should follow this model and allot newer oil companies areas that are not currently operated by Apache.
If we look at Apache's numbers, it is doing quite well. The company's price to book ratio is 1.04 and its price to sales ratio is 1.83, which suggests that it is doing fairly well. However, I would say that when compared to its peers, it is not doing exceptionally well. Its stock trades at $79. With a profit margin of 15.04% and an operating margin of 43.71%, it is one of the best stocks to consider if income is an important consideration. Apache has an operating cash flow of $9 billion and a total debt of $11.63 billion. I will not consider that as a major liability, but it might be a crucial factor to consider. If Cristina is reelected in Argentina, Apache can expect another four to five years of stable and secure growth. If she is not reelected, it paves the way for a successful oil and gas business in the Falkland Islands as well.

Luckily, some simple swaps can slim down your spread and FITNESS has plenty of recipes with all the flavors you love (but a fraction of the fat and calories).
Four we can't wait to try this weekend:
- Cool Skewers (150 calories): This no-cook app couldn't be easier. Just slice, stack and serve!

Build a Bistro-Worthy Burger At Home
Written on July 26, 2011 at 2:15 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Lauren Cardarelli, editorial intern
New York City's "streetside mobile restaurant," The Bistro Truck, has teamed up with Jennie-O Turkey to deliver (literally!) this week's Turkey Burger Takeover. Today through Saturday, The Bistro Truck's Yassir Z. Raouli will be demonstrating how lean can be delicious by distributing complimentary turkey burgers at five different locations.
With signature recipes inspired by Manhattan neighborhoods, the partnership aims to prove to tasters that turkey patties are a nutritious and tasty alternative to beef.
Yesterday, we got a sneak preview of the week's "Make the Switch" initiative. But since the Bistro Truck can only travel so far, we snagged our favorite recipe so you can try it at home! The East Village Turkey Burger puts a fresh, new spin on a barbecue favorite, with crunchy veggies alongside the well-seasoned burger and melted Brie.
Makes 4 servings
Prep time: About 15 minutes
Total time: Less than 30 minutes
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 package Jennie-O Lean Turkey Burger Patties
- Vegetable oil or non-stick spray for cooking
- 4 burger buns, split and toasted
- 8 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 8 slices
- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- Bean sprouts for serving
- Combine breadcrumbs and parsley in a shallow dish. Gently press patties into crumb mixture until coated all over.
- Coat a large frying pan with non-stick spray or a thin layer of vegetable oil, and place on medium heat. Cook patties until golden brown and as specified on the package. (Always cook to well-done, 165 degrees, as measured by a meat thermometer.)
- Top bottom half of buns with patties, Brie, cucumber, bean sprouts and top half of buns.
For more turkey recipes, check out Jennie-O's website. If you're in the NYC area, be sure to follow The Bistro Truck on Twitter (@bistrotruck) to track their whereabouts this week!

Valentine's Day gifts for her under $25
Couple's jewelry
Bing Shopping | Couple's jewelry
Celebrate when two become one with nesting birthstones, initial duos, interwoven hearts and interlocking two-piece jewelry that symbolizes the meaning of Valentine's Day – a couple's romantic devotion. Choosing super-strong metals like titanium and stainless steel (or gold-clad sterling silver) will help keep the cost down.
Chocolate-covered cookies
Bing Shopping | Chocolate-covered cookies
Chocolate anything is a longstanding Valentine's Day tradition, so why not tweak it this year and go a step beyond the usual heart-shaped box of candy. Chocolate-enrobed cookies add another layer of "yum" to an already delicious treat. Choose from decadently dipped Oreos, ginormous fortune cookies, sugar cookies and more.
Scented flameless candle sets
Bing Shopping | Scented flameless candle sets
Home is where the heart is, and when you'd like to make her surroundings a bit more sensual, consider appealing to both scent and sight. Scented candles create ambiance with an olfactory kick, so keep an eye out for romance-themed votive or tealight collections -- or the even more spectacular gift of a pillar candle trio.
Silk lingerie
Bing Shopping | Silk lingerie
Think you can't give her something made of silk at a price this low? Get an eyeful of the offerings made of that sleek and sexy material -- smaller confections are here (panty sets, G-strings, bralettes) but so are some truly bewitching chemise and babydoll gown styles, and even a few lace-trimmed lingerie sets.
Spa gift sets
Bing Shopping | Spa gift sets
Think of these as indoor picnic baskets, boasting beguiling little collections of bracing balms, bathing gels and bubbles, cleansing poufs and all manner of after-bath lotions and potions. Try the soothing alchemy of lavender if she loves to relax, or something in a citrus scent if she's looking to re-energize.
Key to my heart jewelry
Bing Shopping | Key to my heart jewelry
Let her know she's got you all locked up with jewelry that suggestively sparkles. These heart-and-key duos are trendy love tokens (usually found dangling from a necklace, but sometimes crafted as rings and bracelets) and they send just the right message for unlocking mutual passion.
Valentine's Day gift boxes
Bing Shopping | Valentine's Day gift boxes
What kind of confection collection can you score for under $25? A pretty darn decadent one, actually -- some offer heart-shaped sugar cookies, while others charm with colorful jelly beans, chocolate-dipped and sugar-dusted pretzels, brownie bites or small clusters of fine Belgian truffles.
Faux-fur scarves
Bing Shopping | Faux-fur scarves
Wrap your fave Valentine's Day vixen in something sumptuously soft and wonderfully warm -- after all, February 14 is still in the heart of winter, even if it is the most romantic holiday of the year. Going for the faux makes it easy to find something snuggly under $25.
Neck and shoulder massagers
Bing Shopping | Neck and shoulder massagers
While we agree that the hands-on approach is the better route to Valentine's Day romance, the gift of a massager that eases and erases tension in her neck and shoulders is an awesome gift for when you aren't there to be her personal masseur. (These techy tension tamers are surprisingly affordable, too.)
Valentine's Day teddy bears
Bing Shopping | Valentine's Day teddy bears
She won't be able to resist the ursine charms of these furry fellows, especially when they're dressed up for Valentine's Day. Your task is to pick out the perfect bear -- and there's a wild and wide selection for under $25. (Do your shopping early and get one wearing a personalized tee.)

"I was very impressed with both the quality of both the paper and print work. Also loved the fact that the wording could be personalised so easily. The design is relaxed and stylish. Excellent product and service which I will be using again without any hesitation. Thankyou!"
"We are so happy with the way these invitations turned out for our son's baptism. They are simple and perfect for the occasion. The paper quality and overall look of them is fantastic. My family commented on how nice they look. I wouldn't change a thing and would recommend these to anyone looking for a quality baptism invitation."
"I loved being able to personalize the font, size of font and even color!! I'd suggest making the "please join us for a" and "in honor of" a size or two bigger, as it is quite small on the card though. It's just barely readable. A size up would be perfect. I got the pearl shimmer on it (really worth it!!!) and it gave it that extra something! The comments I received on the invites were awesome! Everyone loved them! I also loved the service TinyPrints.com added, where I had my return address and recipient address typed onto the envelope and they sent it from where the print it. I also liked their modified rectangular envelopes!!"
"I customized these to put my twin daughter's names for their Baptism and couldn't be happier with the final results. They look beautiful and the card stock is excellent. Can't wait to mail them to our guests!"
"I absolutely loved these baby dedication invitations! They turned out perfect. The quality of this invite was great. I was worried how the gold would turn out so I made the back of the invite blue and I love being able to customize the card."

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Another deadline has come and gone for hundreds of homeowners in Kalamazoo trying to save their homes from foreclosure, and a majority succeeded.
County Treasurer Mary Balkema says April First was the day that homeowners with taxes in arrears had to be paid up for at least the last three years plus fines and penalties.
271 property owners made it and 222 did not. Some of those who made it, did so with special grants designed to help the those who have suffered set backs, keep their homes.
The properties that will now revert to county ownership will be put up for sale at a foreclosure auction, scheduled for August 22nd at the Expo Center.Balkema updated County Commissioners at their regular Committee of the Whole Meeting yesterday.
Watch above for comments from Balkema.
