Recap Season 3, Episode 10
Christmas comes early for Roose Bolton, who climbs to the top of the Twins so he can get the best seat possible to watch as the Freys decimate the drunk Stark army and it is brutal.
They're hanging them, lighting them on fire, chopping off legs, doing all the disgusting things Freys do when given a small amount of power.
Roose loves it:
The Hound has tiny passed out Arya on his lap and smartly grabs a Frey banner as he attempts to get them out of there. (I like that quick thinking Hound, branding is important. Keep your head in the game. Everyone we love is dead, we need you to stay alive!) He's trying to get them out of there, when from the castle a group of people emerges chanting, "The King In The North!"
This is the worst thing in the world. Worst than anything the show has done before. They bring Robb out and they have sewed Grey Wind's head to his body.
I can't believe they showed it.
It's just too much.
Arya wakes up just in time to see this.
And she was right to be nervous last episode, all her worst fears are coming true!
And she had to be there when Ned was beheaded, now this too.
Arya loses whatever sanity she had left while behind her the Stark banners burn.
Jesus Christ.
This scene.
It's almost too much to handle.
King's Landing!
Tyrion and Sansa are enjoying a lovely mid afternoon stroll with Shae in the gardens. Two shitty bros walk by and giggle at them. Tyrion begins muttering their names under his breath.
Tyrion, "Ser Eldrick Sarsfield and Lord Desmond Crakehall, Ser Eldrick Sarsfield and Lord Desmond Crakehall …"
Sansa, "You okay there Rain Man?"
Tyrion, "Yeah, sorry, just updating my list."
Sansa, "A murder list?"
Tyrion, "For laughing at me? Do I look like Joffrey?"
Sansa, "No, but you are a Lannister, so I thought I'd double check."
Tyrion, "I may be a Lannister but I'm not a monster."
Sansa, "You call him that too?! Oh isn't it great, we can talk like this!"
Tyrion, "Murder and mayhem isn't really my style. I prefer a more subtle terror…"
Sansa, like every mom ever, "You should learn to ignore them."
Tyrion, "Uh, yeah thanks for the condescending advice. But I've been dealing with this since the moment I was born. You've only had a bad few years. Constant laughing and belittlement really eats away at the soul in a way that can't be dismissed by self help platitudes. I am the half man, the demon monkey, the imp."
Sansa, "Yeah, but at least your family still runs shit. I am the disgraced daughter of the traitor Ned Stark."
Tyrion, "The disgraced daughter and the demon monkey, we're perfect for each other." And Sansa smiles!! And laughs!
Tyrion looks back at Shae.
Shae, "You're friends now? That's greeeaaat."
Sansa, "So, alright I'm on board, how are we gonna do it?"
Tyrion, "Do what?"
Sansa, "Punish those two yokels for making fun of you."
Tyrion, "Oh, that. Full disclosure, what I usually do is talk to Varys, get their internet history, and then blackmail them with whatever creepy stuff they're into. It will definitely work on those dudes, anyone called Desmond Crakehall must be a pervert."
Sansa, "Yeah well, popular opinion is that you're a total pervert, but I know for a fact that you're not."
Tyrion, "Hey now, that's our little secret. I'm the imp, I have a reputation I have to live down to."
Sansa is lolzing and really excited, she takes a seat to look Tyrion in the eye and it's the youngest we've seen her be in forever! (I love their bonding.)
Sansa, "I've got an idea!"
Tyrion, "Well get in here girl, let's hear it."
Sansa, "We could put sheep shift in Ser Desmond's bed."
Shae, "What now?"
Sansa, "You cut a little hole in his mattress and you stuff sheep shift inside. Then you sew up the hole and make his bed again. His room will stink, but he won't know where it's coming from."
Tyrion, "Welcome to the party Lady Sansa! Look at you Starks being fun, I didn't know that was a thing you did." (I want Sansa and Tyrion to have an extended montage where they run around King's Landing pulling pranks on people. They can toilet paper the Red Keep, put tacks on the Iron throne, Nair in Cersei's shampoo bottle, general hi-jinks. Varys can assist. It would be great. (But also guys, if you're gonna be pranking anyone, let's start with Joffrey.))
Sansa, "Things used to get pretty wild at Winterfell. Arya used to do that when she was pissed at me, and she was pissed at me a lot."
Tyrion, "I like where you're going with this, but one quick question, what is "sheep shift?""
Sansa, conspiratorially, "In the North, that's the vulgar word for dung." (Also sidebar! Arya! That is disgusting! If there was shit anywhere near my bed, I would burn my apartment to the ground and move.)
And Tyrion can't stop himself from being charmed by her because she's being super cute right now.
Sansa, "Well you asked!"
Tyrion, "No, I love it, diabolical in its simplicity. It's perfect."
Then Podrick comes running through the garden, tripping over fangirls on his way.
Podrick, "Allow me to interrupt this beautiful moment forever, but Small Council calls."
Recap Season 3, Episode 7
(Sorry this recap is late! In my defense, I was at festival that had an Urban Ren Faire, so I feel like I was doing Game of Thrones related activities. (It was wonderful, there was a guy dressed as a centaur who looked exactly like Devon Sawa in the 90's.) So the bad news is the recap is up late, the good news is I found the love of my life and he's dancing to techno dressed as a centaur at an Urban Ren Faire tent in Brooklyn. Don't know how I'm going to explain that to my parents.)
Previously, Flaying, Epileptic fits, Lullabies, Wall climbing, Wall falling, Gendry stealing, Freys freying, Littlefinger leaving, and Tywin admitting (with his eyes) his bisexuality.
The Wildlings have crossed the Wall and are making their way to Castle Black. It will take them a week to get there, so they have time for Jon and Ygritte to flirt and for Orell to insert himself into their relationship.
Jon and Ygritte have a long conversation about Wildling fighting vs. Seven Kingdoms fighting where Ygritte makes fun of the Westori for being pansies and banging drums and carrying banners (I've always wondered about that too Ygritte! Mostly because I always thought that seemed like a cool job? Like, if I ever had to go to war, I'd like to be the one holding the banner? Let's not unpack it.) Jon explains to her that it's all part of the discipline and traditions of a first world country, like having roads and a postal service.
Ygritte, "It just seems silly to have drummers. It's war not a Step Up movie."
Jon, "Well excuse us for having a sense of occasion. Also they help the men march."
Ygritte, "You forget how to walk? "And she hops up and starts jumping around, making fun of marching soldiers and they're both lolling.
Jon, "No if you want a bunch of people to work and fight as a unit they have to do it as the same beat. You Wildlings don't get it."
Ygritte, "No we don't. When we attack we sure as shit won't be banging any fucking drums."
Jon, "No you'll just be lighting a giant fire. That's much more discreet."
Ygritte, "One more time as a family!" And the entire group of Wildlings yell, "You know nothing Jon Snow!!" And she walks away. Orell approaches Jon. (Orell has taken it on himself to be Jon and Ygritte's relationship counselor. I guess because turning into a bird, climbing the wall and planning an attack on the Night's Watch is super boring and he has nothing else to do?)
Orell, "She's right."
Jon, "And then there's this asshole. I know you cut me loose."
Orell, "Cut her loose too."
Orell, "Don't see her bitching about it. That's because she understands the way things are."
Jon, "What's that? What's the deep wisdom you found in the head of a bird?"
Orell, "You want some Wildling wisdom? People work together when it suits 'em. They're loyal when it suits 'em. Love each other when it suits 'em. And they kill each other when it suits 'em. She knows it, you don't, which is why you guys are gonna break up one day."
Jon, "We're gonna be fine! God, shut up!"
Orell, "You know nothing Jon Snow."
Jon, "Yeah that's one of those things that's kinda only okay when Ygritte says it."
(Meanwhile Ghost:
Recap Season 3, Episode 4
Previously: Jaime lost his fucking hand. That's it. That's all you need to know.
Benioff and Weiss are out of control and need to be stopped before they ruin television for everyone.
She is Suffering!
(The episode starts in the depths of despair and raises us to the heights of exaltation. But this opening scene is rough. So rough I had a moment of "maybe this show is getting too dark for me," (and then the end happened and it was fine, but Jesus Fucking Christ is this dark.))
Jaime is on his horse with his hand TIED AROUND HIS NECK.
And he is just a empty shell of a man. There is nothing happening behind those eyes and it is so grim and sad. This isn't how our sparkly, witty Jaime is supposed to be! Two seconds in and my heart is already on the floor.
Locke, "Hey, can we sodomize you with your amputated hand?"
Congratulations Locke! You are fast becoming the worst person in the Seven Kingdoms. You have some steep competition, but you are getting there.
Locke, "Is that the kind of thing you and Cersei used to do?" (Okay, can we stop with the ass rapes Game of Thrones? And rapes full stop? Can we all get on the same page with that? (Also no judgment if that's what they're into Locke! (You could actually probably use it.))
It's super sad because old Jaime would have some biting comeback about Locke's obsession with his sex life but new Jaime just stares numbly into the distance.
Brienne is the only one who has her eye on the catatonic disaster that Jaime has become, because she's the only one who spent months listening to him babble on for days and gets how out of character he's being.
She sees Jaime start slumping out of his saddle and can't do anything to stop it. She calls out for the others to help him.
Then Jaime falls off his horse and face plants in the MUD. This is just some Theon levels of degradation right here. (Maybe this is the curse you suffer if you attempt to kill Bran Stark? The complete and total destruction of your soul?)
Locke, "LOL, I'm totally Instagramming this. Hashtag, #fuckedupkingslayer."
Then Jaime starts begging for water (begging these assholes must be so hard for him!)
Locke, "You sure you don't want a back pillow?"
Jaime, "Just the water."
And then one of the men approaches and opens his water and DUMPS IT ON JAIME'S HEAD.
Brienne is 400% done with their shit and is ready to start busting heads to protect her pal.
Jaime, "If I die my father won't give you any gold."
Locke, "Oh that's enough out of you." Like Jaime is being a whiny bitch in this scenario.
Me to Locke:
Locke gives him a wine skin and Jaime drinks all of it.
Locke, "I've never seen someone drink horse piss that fast." (Locke, why do you have a wine skin filled with piss? How did you get that? Why is that a thing you carry on you?)
Jaime vomits up the horse piss while everyone laughs at him.
They haul him up and Jaime ELBOWS a dude in the face and steals his sword, because even the empty shell of Jaime Lannister still has moves. (Also how sad that they aren't chaining him up anymore because the once great Kingslayer isn't even a threat.) Despite using his non-dominant hand, Jaime puts up a heartbreakingly good fight. Brienne hops off her horse to help him (because they lurrve each other) and even tied up, without a sword she still takes out like four dudes cause she's a bad ass bitch. But they are hopelessly outnumbered and they finally corral Brienne and beat Jaime into submission.
Locke literally kicks Jaime while he's down and steps on his HAND until he lets go of the sword.
Locke, "You do that again and I'll take your other hand."
Jaime, "Yeah you won, I lost. I get it."
They close up on Jaime's mud covered face with his dead hand beside him.
Recap: Episode 3, Season 2
Previously: Reshuffling of the cabinet, Infanticide (again), No Robb, Greyjoy weirdness, Unconsummated sex between siblings, Gendry being the best character in the history of ever, Discussions of how you shit when you die, Sam getting a crush, Theon getting denied, Just generally complicated sexual politics, etc.
Picking up right where we left off, Craster drags Jon into his house waking everyone up in the middle of the night and unceremoniously kicking the Night's Watch from his incest compound.
Craster, "I am very upset with Jon right now! I thought we had something! There's no way a feeling that intense was one-sided! I had all these fantasies! He was going to stay here and we were going to raise my daughter/wives together! But it turns out he's a snooping good for nothing! l feel more betrayed than Rachael Leigh Cooke when she found out Freddie Prinze Jr. was just pretending to date her to win a bet!"
Jon, "Sexily spits blood out of his mouth." How does being covered in open wounds make you more attractive Kit Harrington? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Recap Episode 3, Season 1 (Spoiler alert: This episode is awesome. Also, there are spoilers.)
Previously: Twig Dolls, Hangovers, Fires, Cruelty to Animals, Face Knifing, Slapping, Slim Jims, Outdoor Pissing, Teaching of New Sexual Positions, etc.
King's Landing!
The Starks arrive in the capitol and are like, "It's loud, there are too many people, everyone's so rude, how many Starbucks does one city need, there are so many homeless people, it's too expensive." A nerdy squire comes running up to Ned all, "OMG, there's a council meeting happening and you're already late. Is that what you're wearing? You sure you don't wanna put on a blazer?"
Squire, "Going for the whole rugged, been riding for a month thing, well sure it works on you. Let's go." (Also I'm not telling HBO how to live their life, but it does seem kinda possible that these are the only clothes Ned Stark owns.)
Throne Room!
They open the door to the main hall and Jaime is by himself reclining across the steps leading up to the Iron Throne. I'm going to do him the courtesy of assuming he was taking some self pics for his facebook profile because otherwise, what the hell you doing Jaime?
Ned starts having flashbacks. (During Robert's Rebellion Jaime was in the Mad King's secret service; when the rebellion was close to succeeding, Jaime had a "fuck this job" moment and murdered the king. After this happened Ned got to King's Landing before Robert did and when he walked into the Red Keep, Jaime was chilling on the Iron Throne drinking a beer all:
And that pissed Ned off because the throne belonged to his boyfriend Robert. Even though Jaime totally gave it up to Robert, Ned didn't like the implication.)
Jaime sarcastically, "Thank god you're here Stark, we're in need of your intense brand of northerness." (I know Jaime's fucking around but the Red Keep could really use some northern flavor.)
Ned, "Protecting the throne I see." (Ned's that annoying person in your office who bitches about you being on gchat when you should be working.)
Jaime, "That thing? Yeah, lots of people sit on it. Speaking of butts and specifically buttholes remember when Robert asked you to come to King's Landing to wash his butt for him and you said yes?"
Ned, "Ugh, banter is so not my forte. I'm not great with sarcasm, we don't have a lot of Jews in the north. Your face is very handsome what with no bruises…or something…."
Jaime, "Yeah people keep trying to land one on me but they haven't cause I'm that good.'
Ned, "Or you just choose opponents…opponents….with short arms! Ha! Pussy."
Jaime Lannister will tolerate a variety of shenanigans but he will not tolerate being called a pussy.
Jaime, "This must be so weird for you, I was totally standing right here when the Mad King murdered your uncle and dad with fire." (The Mad King is Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator/I'm Still Here:
Jaime, "I'm going to tell you some more unnecessary details about your father's gruesome death."
Ned, "Remember how you did nothing to help him?"
Jamie, "In my defense, five hundred men did nothing to help him, because aside from the wonderful, happy place inside your head where everyone feels a deep-seated need to do what's right, people are by and large pretty shitty." (He's also making an argument for democracy and the power of freedom of thought but I don't think that's his point.) "Annyyhooo, later when I killed the king I thought of your dad and I felt like I was doing a good thing." (Like Cersei and her story about Robert's dead baby, he's telling the truth here, he's just doing it for fucked up reasons. I think the Lannisters need friends who aren't each other.) "Isn't it weird how I totally avenged your father instead of you?"
Ned, "Oh fuck you pretty boy. You didn't do it for my dad, you still totally blow for literally stabbing the king in the back."
Jamie, "If I stabbed him in the belly would you admire me more?"
Ned, "1. I don't admire you. 2. I'm over this. Stark out!" And starks off.
Recap: Season 1, Episode 1 (mild spoilers) HBO Series based on the fantasy novels, "A Song of Ice and Fire," by George R.R. Martin (Think: Camelot + Lord of the Rings + Braveheart + Rape + Princess Bride + Night of the Living Dead + Dallas + Gladiator + How I Met Your Mother + Dragons)
The Wall!
Background: The kingdom in which all the main characters live, Westoros, is guarded at it's northern end by a giant wall made of ice. The kingdom sends its prisoners (rapists/thieves/murders/highly born bastards) to man the wall to protect it from the "wildlings" who are the free people who live beyond the wall and don't have kings and queens. It'd be like if Canada took the whole being ruled by Queen Elizabeth thing super seriously and put all its shoplifters and hockey game rioters on a giant fence between the Canada/American border, called it the "Night Watch," and insisted that everyone be celibate in order to protect its citizens from guns, democracy, fatty foods, and limited access to health care.
So giant! So white! So cold! Three skeezy looking dudes, rangers of the Night Watch, ride their horses north of the wall trying to track some free people who wandered too close to the border. The blond one finds the wildlings' bbq but instead of a bbq, everybody is dead and hacked up into body parts and arranged in a devil style pentagram thing.
He goes back to his pals and is like, "So they're all dead….that's kinda weird right?" The leader gets racist with it and is like, "They're wildlings, of course they killed each other, have you seen their parades?" The other two are like, "Yeah, so… we can go home now, right?" The leader (who my mom says looks like Matt Damon) says, "We can go investigate this grisly murder scene you found or you can run away like little girls and when they catch you, they'll kill you for being deserters of the Night Watch."
The leader then uses the preferred method of motivation in the Seven Kingdoms by calling them both a pussies a bunch of times. They're like, "Fine, but you're buying us Breakfast Scrambles ever." They get to the site of the bbq and there's nothing there, no wildlings, no hacked up dead people, no bbq. Then one finds some shit on the ground. Behind the leader one of the dead people pops up, now a zombie with creepy blue eyes. His friend is like, "Whatever you do, don't look…"
The leader of course looks behind him and gets an axe in the face. The blond has wisely chosen to run away from this bbq of terror when he's caught by a child zombie.
He then sees his pal get caught by a zombie. The zombie cuts his friend's head off and throws it at him, which is just super impolite for starters. He looks at the head at his feet then at the zombie:

Find Sources of US & State Law on the Web with ALSO!
On of my favorite sites for finding sources of primary law on the Internet is American Law Sources On-Line (ALSO!). In addition to providing a very comprehensive list of links to freely accessible sources of law for the US, the states, Canada and Mexico, ALSO! also has links to law reviews, briefs, and more on the Web.
Check out the list of Wisconsin sources. Through a series of nicely organized pull down menus, you can select the sources you need and choose whether to search or browse them. Rather than going to multiple sites for each source, ALSO! has compiled all of the sources you need on one page. Quite nice!

I'm sorry for not posting!
However, I went to Primark yesterday in Rotterdam. I loved the Primark in London and especially in Cambridge. I thought the clothes were a bit disapointing, but the accesories were very cool. It felt so good to be back in Primark!

Another busy day
... was a celeb, i'd stick to Beverly Hills, or Santa Monica if you wanted a beach! Last stop was the Griffith Observatory which is the best thing I've done in LA so far. Perfect uninterruped view of the city and the Hollywood sign! A must see for visitors! Dinner called for some in-n-out which is a glorified maccas! Was alright but overhyped i think. In bed now completely knackered. Hope i can shake this cold ...
Where's Mike???
... to get a photo but could only shake his hand, gutted!! Mike drove off but as this is LA, where the traffic moves slow, we soon cuaght up and was able to get a picture with him.
On arrivial back at the hostel, the weather was warm and Simon and I both decided to celebrate the epic road trip from yesterday with some cold beers. We sank them back and soon began to socialise with new hostel arrivials! A good day, relaxing and very chilled!!
Drive in!
So we started back at Venice beach today! They had a local summer festival on so we enjoyed exploring the shops and stalls! The experience was interesting as amongst the normal beachy type shops selling flip flops etc were lots of tattoo shops, skate shops and also 'Dr Green Pharmacy' shops that were offering medicinal marijuana! You could see the effects of this as we saw one man with a plastic chair strapped to his ...
Last day in Hollywood
We had a few more places we wanted to tick off before we left the States so back on the Starline Tour bus (managed to get a 3rd day from our 48 hour ticket as no one validated it on our first day.) so back on red route to explore Beverly Hills a little more as it seemed pretty flashy. It was Shane's favourite place - I think the ferraris and Bugatti parked on Rodeo Drive might have had something to do with it. We found a huge ...
Short stay in LA
... Looked around the place, maybe shopped a little more.....back into a cab and head to LAX. Weather in LA was much more pleasant than Orlando, 25 degrees, almost perfect. Anyway, our adventure is complete, we are all spent, time to board the A380 and head for home - only 16 hours on a plane, who invented this?
Until our next trip, see you all ...

Berwick on MA healthcare reform: More pain, more gain
WBUR, May 15, 2012
Dr. Donald Berwick, the widely admired former chief of Medicare and one of the nation's leading health policy mavens, has just weighed in on the competing proposals for cost-cutting reform in Massachusetts. He argues in favor of aiming for more ambitious cost-cutting targets: The House's tougher goal rather than the Senate's less ambitious one, or even the still-tougher target put forth by business and religious groups.

There's a 2011 NBA Draft-eligible player I've been meaning to write about all week, but just haven't found the time to do it. Now seems as good of time as any, however, so here's what everyone needs to know about Targuy Ngombo.
The Pistons may not be able to afford standing still on draft day, as the Bobcats are conspiring with the Kings and Bucks to sandwich Detroit's No. 8 pick.
The 2011 NBA Draft is just a couple of hours away, but there are still plenty of prospects not familiar to the casual viewer. Fortunately, Ridiculous Upside is here to fix that by giving a bit of a brief rundown of the D-League's draft-eligible Jamine Peterson.
The 2011 NBA Draft is officially one day away, meaning all of the mainstream media members are producing their Greatest Hits. Rumors of which players are rising and falling, which teams are trading up and down and which players may or may not have promises are all heating up like Karl Welzein's thighs.

Refurbished/repurposed jewelry boxes
I recently repurposed two old jewelry boxes as organizers and I am so pleased with the outcome that I am thinking of stopping by Goodwill to look for some more. These first two repurposed jewelry boxes cost me nothing as both were dumpster rescues that I refurbished with left-over craft paints and gems.
Jewelry box number one was originally repurposed for my daughter's rock collection which has grown so large that now the jewelry box houses her shell collection and we are in the market for a new rock box. The inside was already lined with velvet, I simply painted over the spots on the outside and embellished it with glitter paint and bits of left-over gems.
For repurposed box number two...I enforced the broken sides with white duct tape (they even have pink now) and embellished it with stickers. I use it to house her beads and jewelry making supplies. If you don't have hopes of finding an outcast late 70's model jewelry box in your neighborhood then visit the local thrift store where you are sure to stumble upon a low priced outcast.
Apparently we are not alone in our project because I found lots of other examples on the web...

How I became Considering frugal
Fueled by the growing list of pollution related allergies my family suffers from each day and inspired by my 97 year old grandmother who could recycle ANYTHING before recycling was cool, I have decided (in the spirit of the Julie/Julia Project...) to embark on a journey to see just how much one family can do to change our planet. I did not consult any other parties before I launched this idea, so that should be interesting to see. Thankfully my husband and daughter are usually my biggest supporters. Here is the catch; as I am normally very thrifty (you can note from early blog posts), I will be looking for ways that I can reduce our carbon footprint and make socially responsible purchases without increasing our spending. Mmmmmm. You can read my full bio on my About Me page.

5 Reasons Why The Man You're Dating Has Emotionally Backed Off
March 20, 2013 // 0 Comments
by Karen Jones, Black Love and Marriage.com
Any woman who's actively dating will at some point deal with a man who is pulling away. If you notice that a previously attentive man is showing signs of fleeing, one of these things is likely going on:
1. He's just not ready. You may have been communicating effectively that you're playing for keeps (and if so, great job!) but this has him exiting stage left because he is not ready for the commitment.
2. He is scared to take the next step. One of men's primary fears is the loss of freedom. He may be evaluating whether or not what he will gain by having you in his life is worth the inevitable loss of his sexual freedom, financial freedom or time.
3. He's experiencing "man time." When a man gets involved in anything that consumes his attention (work, sports, hobbies, to name a few), he loses track of time. When he finally realizes how much time has passed, he may be too afraid to call you and risk having to face how pissed off you may be.
4. He thinks you've changed. You're not being the same gal he started with. Instead of being easy-going, fun and clearly appreciating who he is maybe he's getting a taste of another side of you; someone who is hard to please, insecure, needy or just not fun anymore.
5. You're not the one for him (or he's not the one for you). You may feel disappointed by this realization at first but in the end it's for your benefit. If this is the case sooner or later that the relationship is going to end.

I will go to Vietnam with my carrier... Boba has the best carrier... we talk about Boba carrier in Treasure Coast Babywearing group..
by Heatheron March 12,2012 in Baby CarrierBoba News
We recently reached 50,000 fans on Facebook as well as 5,000 fans on Twitter! As a thank you to our wonderful fans, we are giving away a Boba Carrier 3G as well as a $100 American Express Gift Card. Use the $100 Gift Card to enjoy Freedom Together while out on a fun adventure with your family! a Rafflecopter giveawayWith a Boba 3G, I would definitely take the backpacking trip to the islands of Bangka and Belitung (Indonesia) with my little Olivia and hubby that we've long for! I want her to appreciate the beauty of her homeland as early as possible :) .... plus the $100 American Express giftcard can go a long ways when converted to Indonesian rupiah :)
My husband, four year old daughter, almost one year old daughter, (who would be very cozy in a brand new Boba!), my parents, and I would spend a weekend in Albuquerque. We would visit the zoo, aquarium, and botanic garden. I haven't been there since I was a child. It was so much fun and is an experience I would love to share with my husband and children. Unfortunately, we cannot afford to do it right now, so the gift card would help make that possible!
I would use it to carry Allison and still keep up with the other three on our upcoming vacation.
My husband and I are planning to take my toddler and newborn (due in a few weeks) to the beach for a weekend this summer. We plan to visit where I went to college and explore some of my old favorite places! This carrier (and the GC) would be a huge help! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would wear my Boba everywhere: from the grocery store to the beach! Plus, as a Southern Californian, I live near many outdoor attractions that can be visited year-round-- Disneyland, zoos, museums, etc!
Would love to get more into hiking with my girls with baby on my back to enjoy it too!
I would take the longest walk with our 2 month old baby boy and big brother Anthony and big sister Reagan at the park on these most beautiful days as we love being outdoors!
With a 3G, one of us could wear the new baby and the other could wear our toddler in the 2G. Possibilities are endless: zoo, hiking, parks, travel, shopping, parades . . .
love our boba sleepy wrap but our son is getting too heavy for it so i would love a 3G for our 24hr plane trip to UK
I would give the 3G to my sis-in-law, and maybe introduce my son to chuck e cheese's :)
I have a 6 year old Australian Shepherd who ever since he was 6 weeks old has been my big baby and pride and joy. In September I had my first child a beautiful baby boy who has stolen everyone's heart including mine. Now, my poor dog has to share the spotlight (and is very upset about it) I would love to use the Boba carrier to take baby and dog out for walks to try to connect them and hopefully he can be my son's best friend like he has been mine for all these years!!!
We live in the mountains and we love vacationing to the beach.. My son and I could go anywhere we wanted together with a Boba!!
I'd love to take the carrier for a day at Disney world with our sons! The giftcard would be great for travel expenses. Thanks so much for the chance!!
Boba 1G is the only ssc that i ever have and its a totally companion wherever i go or whatever i do.name it..at home, at the kitchen, up and down the plane, highland..you name it.i have been using it for since my number 4 kid and now pass to his little brother. even my little one will pick it up by himself when he need to be close to me.
I was just told I should buy a Boba. I am looking for a local carrier. My 17 month old is 35 pounds-I need you!! :)
With 6 kids, everyday is an adventure! I'd love to wear my baby in a Boba so I can be hands free for the rest of my crew :)
The Boba Carrier 3G is the first thing I wanted to get since the day I knew I was pregnant! :)
Would love to use it in all daily activities whenever possible!
I think I've daydreamed about wearing a boba 3g to the zoo, disneyland, and summer events- parades, picnics, family reunions... you name it.
I would definitely love to go hiking at a local place.....picnic somewhere, and enjoy the sun with my two favorite boys! <3
I have wanted a Boba carrier for since my 9 month old was born! If we won, we would use it for a day in the city, of course carrying around our sweet girl in the Boba carrier!
Oh, I would love to take my two kids hiking this summer, maybe a picnic in the white mountains!
We have a little one on the way (any minute) along with an 8 year old and 4 year old. I would love to take my family to the city to enjoy an outdoor concert and picnic. Being able to use a carrier would make the train ride and walk so enjoyable for all of us!
boba rocks! we are having a wonderful experince with our tweeting 3g and I'd like to give it also to my sister and her little man on the way ....finger crossed!!!!!
We would also go to the zoo! My oldest is just starting to really get into naming animals and their sounds.
We would use them to renew our membership at the Strong National Museum of Play and then visit often.
My husband and I recently lost our home due to mold and have been living in one bedroom at my parents house, it's hard to have one on one time with my little man in a house of 6 adults, so we go on walks. We walk around the neighbourhood, I point out everything we see, birds, flowers, trees, lakes... It would be so nice to have the carrier so I can have both my hands to show him things and he is safely and snugly cuddles up to me...
I'd love to go to a zoo, nature preserve, or aquarium nearby with my husband, two older kids and the baby--no stroller needed with a Boba!
Would love just to go have a nice lunch somewhere with the kiddo, maybe drive to nearby Vancouver B.C. for dimsum!
We would love to take the kids to the aquarium. Need a good carrier for my 3 month old so I can still keep up with my two year old. ;P
PS - I would go on a nice long weekend to the beach with hubs, our baby, and dog, and go on a big family walk along the water. Amazing how the simple things are the best as a mom! :)
Oh and Europe... Do you think 100 bucks will help us get there? haha I say yes. How fun would it be to baby wear around Europe?!

Short version:
I've given up on this godforsaken site due to all the errors. Visit me at tobinelliott.com
Longer version:
Fuck you, WordPress.
For 23 months, I've blogged on WordPress, at this site.
In that time, WordPress has eaten more blogs than I can count. After I'd lost my fourth or fifth blog after saving, and yes, I mean, taking the time to write out an entire blog, saving all the way, then hitting that little "Save Draft" button one last time, only to have it come back to a blank screen, all those words disappeared into the ether, I started writing my blogs in Notepad, then pasting them over.
It didn't stop this damnable site from losing my words, but at least I had a backup. But it's simply pathetic that I have to do so.
Lately, it's doing something just as irritating. See the post below this one? Hostage night in Canada? Yeah, I wrote that in Notepad. I pasted it over. Then, I added in some links and tags, and some formatting, bolding, italicizing, etc. Then I saved. When it came up with an "Are you sure you want to do this?" message, but with no way to cancel it, I knew I was going to lose some stuff.
I lost all of those revisions, bolds, italics, links, tags…all of it. Gone.
Did some research through Google. The suggestion was to go up to Screen Options and ensure Revisions was ticked off. Yeah, so, I go there? Revisions isn't even in the goddamn list. So, instead, I'm ticked off.
When I go to other blog posts, yup, Revisions shows up fine. Back to the one where I need it, it's not there.
This has happened with the last three or four blogs I've written. Every. Fucking. One.
Interestingly, when I go back, spend another goddamn hour recreating everything that was lost, and then copy it all and screen grab the tags, of course it saves perfectly. And the Revisions feature is suddenly appearing now. No, I'm not making this up.
So now I'm done. Life's too short to fuck around with an application that I cannot trust whatsoever.
So, from now on, no more blogs here.
Come over to tobinelliott.com (a site I've had for months, but kept blogging here out of some misguided sense of loyalty). It's maintained by people who know what they're doing.

Pretend for a moment that you are an exterior painter; a person who takes jobs painting the outsides of various buildings. Let's say that the builder who has hired you to paint some new apartment bulidings has a certain subjective design requirement that goes something like the following: The builder is trying to decide on how many stories each apartment building should have for the most variety of color. He wants to use two colors of paint: red and blue. His only rules are that the exterior of each story of the building be either red or blue, and that no two floors adjacent to each other vertically may be red. Each building must be painted differently. How many different combinations of colors can make up apartment buildings with various numbers of floors?Lost? Don't worry. Let's start with apartment bulidings with one floor: (Two (2) combinations) Since there is only one floor, and we only have two colors of paint, there are two different-looking apartment buildings. Next, let's find the combinations for buildings with two floors: (Three (3) combinations) Before you say "What about a buliding with two red floors?" remember that the problem requires that red floors not to be next to each other (one on top of the other). If you've been wondering what all of this has to do with the Fibonacci Series, start looking for patterns as we continue. Apartments with three stories: (Five (5) combinations) So if a building has three floors, there are five ways to paint it. Seeing a pattern? 2, 3, 5. Do those numbers remind you of something? Let's continue. Apartments with four levels: (Eight (8) combinations) Oh yeah! 2, 3, 5, 8. After 1 and 1, those are the next four values of the Fibonacci Series (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc). Let's do just one more to test that. (Thirteen (13) combinations) So the pattern continues with 13, the 7th number in the Fibonacci Series. This pattern will hold true for any number of stories. How do we know this is not just a coincidence? Click here to see why. |

Offense presents more problems than 07s version
One of my thoughts for this season so far is that, perhaps this offense presents more problems for opponents even more so than the 07 offense. And I don't mean so much as in scoring, records, yards and touchdowns which alot of that has been made regardless, but in matchups, redzone effectiveness and winning one on one battles.
1. In 07 you had Randy Moss deep, Wes Welker underneath, and Jabar Gaffney and Donte Stallworth to add. At tightend, you had Ben Watson and Laurence Maroney along with Kevin Faulk and Sammy Morris at runningback. Now you have Wes Welker deep and underneath, Deion Branch long and short as well as outside, Julian Edelman essentially another effective slot-man, Chad Ochocinco who potentially creates way more issues for opponents than Gaffney and Stallworth, the best tightend in football possibly the greatest ever, and another tightend, who is also elite with more speed and versatility than his counterparts along with an entire slew of effective runningbacks who can do it all. 2. In 2007, opponents would try and eliminate Wes Welker underneath, than Randy Moss long and your in... But now you have to worry about Rob Gronkowski long, Wes Welker also long, Aaron Hernandez long, Deion Branch who can get long and Chad who can also still get long. Not to mention more weapons underneath outside of Wes in Edelman, Woodhead, Faulk if needed be, and even Green-Ellis who will try and receive in the flats. Tiquan Underwood and Matthew Slater, whos to say they won't do what they are asked too as well if thrown in the mix. 3. The running game also presents more issues. Danny Woodhead, the ever so elusive shifty and super quick runningback finds invisible holes and bursts through them. He can become a very good receiving threat, kind of like an additional Wes Welker, Deion Branch or Julian Edelman. Additionally, BenJarvus Green-Ellis is underrated and can find those open holes to tough his way through for a good 6 to 10 yards. He has shown the ability to carry a game if needed be and can really become a powerful horse-like patient ball carrier for wearing a defense down. Last but not least, Stevan Ridley shows alot of promise, potential and spark with his speed and accelaration. This does twice as much damage for us at the runningback position this time around not to mention that Aaron Hernandez looked really good taking handoffs busting off about a 60 yarder for the first runplay of the game against Denver. It is literally virtually impossible for ANY defense to match up with all of those dangerous New England running and receiving weapons. |
Re: Offense presents more problems than 07s version
This team has more weapons. |
Re: Offense presents more problems than 07s version
The Patriots Offense is an A grade vertical receiver and an A grade Running Back away from being as complete as you'll ever see an Offense.
Re: Offense presents more problems than 07s version
Looking at the Passing aspect of the team only, like its said before me: if we had a deep threat there will be no stoping us, and thats why Deep threat is so importent.
Brady needs to be 100% precent accurate and he and his recivers needs to be 100% timed up so the play can be executed because we are playing in the range of no more than 20 yards. if we had a player that can spread the field verticaly this offense was perfect. Its alot harder to throw where the opposing team knows you HAVE to throw the ball short because you dont have someone to torch the field. good defense will know to take advantage of it. |
Re: Offense presents more problems than 07s version
There is a much broader spectrum of routes that can be run now. This group can't stretch the field like moss, but if the opposing defense is getting pressure, then that threat is neutralized. The current group puts much more pressure on opposing LBs for their coverage responsibility.
The faulty assumption is that defenses can pack in close because the pats don't have a 'legitimate deep threat' .... Just as much, if not more of the field needs to be covered now |
Re: Offense presents more problems than 07s version
The O is what is worrying me about this weekend! Well more how well the Ravens D will play!
If Brady isn't 100%, we will struggle! |
Re: Offense presents more problems than 07s version
Re: Offense presents more problems than 07s version
Bring in Mohamed Sanu and that's our offense complete...oh and resign Green-Ellis.
Our defense isn't far off being that complete either...give it 2-3 years and the situation will be perfect for a certain young QB to take over the helm :) |
Re: Offense presents more problems than 07s version
Re: Offense presents more problems than 07s version
I was nervous about the Ravens until I saw the Houston game. The Texans de-mystified the Baltimore Ravens. They ran and passed on that D, and held their offense to 10 (not including the drive that started on the Houston 4). That's all BB needed to see.

While the Hollywood output of director William "One-Take" Beaudine was largely uninspired, he turned out several first-rate efforts while employed in England in the mid-1930s. Beaudine's Boys Will be Boys stars the inimitable Will Hay, cast in his standard role as a pompous, ineffectual schoolmaster. Upon learning that the father (Gordon Harker) of one of his students is a thief, do-gooder Hay tries to redirect the reprobate towards the Straight and Narrow--and nearly gets pinched as a criminal himself...more

Tony Bennett
Tony Bennett
Tony Bennett's career has enjoyed three distinct phases, each of them very successful. In the early '50s, he scored a series of major hits that made him one of the most popular recording artists of the time. In the early '60s, he mounted a comeback as more of an adult-album seller. And from the mid-'80s on, he achieved renewed popularity with generations of listeners who hadn't been born when he first appeared. This, however, defines Bennett more in terms of marketing than music. He himself probably would say that, in each phase of his career, he has remained largely constant to his goals of singing the best available songs the best way he knows how. Popular taste may have caused his level of recognition to increase or decrease, but he continued to sing popular standards in a warm, husky tenor, varying his timing and phrasing with a jazz fan's sense of spontaneity to bring out the melodies and lyrics of the songs effectively. By the start of the 21st century, Bennett seemed like the last of a breed, but he remained as popular as ever.

Cuba Culture & Nature Expedition 2011
I feel very privileged to have spent time with such a diverse and interesting group of fellow travellers who met as strangers and left as friends. When I go through my photos I realize how fortunate we were to have seen the Cuba that few travellers experience. We climbed palm covered mountains, hiked trails beside raging rivers, and even tramped through the swamps looking for elusive birds. There was never a moment that was not deliciously exciting. I learned to smoke a Cuban cigar in the stunning Vinales Valley, was chauffered to dinner in a vintage car and was taken deep into a jungle quagmire in a Russian "Zil". Cuba's history is cloaked in controversy and my view of this intriguing island has been greatly enlightened. I feel very fortunate to have seen so deeply into the heart a Cuba that few see. Thank you for your friendship on this great adventure.

Just wanted to drop a quick email to say a huge "Thanks" for the Socotra trip. I know you guys had to do a LOT of extra work to make that trip happen, but it is very appreciated. We basically had the entire island to ourselves, and the locals were very welcoming. The trees, sand dunes, gorgeous swimming holes, birds, chameleons, dolphins, etc. were all spectacular. It was truly a unique experience. I can't wait to relive the trip as I review photos over the next few weeks. I'll be certain to share the best ones with you guys. Mark

The Komodo extension was fabulous. The boat was very comfortable and the crew was most accommodating. We hiked every day and saw Dragons on every walk. Then, back to the boat for snorkeling. Diving was an option for experienced, certified divers and I dove every day at some of the best dive sites in the world. A great experience.

Pantanal Jaguar Safari 2011
Hello Akos, YES, the trip was great! All those beautiful birds. I love the Kingfishers. And, the icing of the trip: the Jaguar. I saw 3, the first for about 1-1/2 hours we watched her. Doing what cats do great, move a little and sleep a lot. But, than she went to drink. What a sight! And all the Giant River Otters, they make so many funny sounds. And of course, Ferenc and Allyson were fun to be with and great guides. More Happy Travels, Agnes

Pantanal Jaguar Safari 2011
Regarding the Pantanal, my expectations were surpassed. Being so comfortably close on the river to those amazing Jaguars was wonderful. But my highlight was my first early morning encounter with a Giant Otter family, thanks to Alyson. The frantic feeding of the 4 cubs by the Alpha male and female with help from several aunts and uncles was special. After the cubs had had their fill, mother groomed each cub while the other cubs played. The extended family disappeared up river possibly to catch their breakfast. Sighting Tapirs, Giant and Lesser Anteaters plus many more surprises completed a wonderful journey. Alyson was a fantastic local guide, his knowledge and love of the Pantanal which he was willing to share with all of us knew no bounds. I believe Ferenc's enthusiasm kept us all wishing there were more daylight hours available.

I enjoyed the trip very much, it was amazing, I still can't believe we have seen so many different animals in less than 2 weeks. I discovered some amazing creatures (tapirs and anteaters among them) and a lot of beautiful, incredible birds. The first Jaguar sighting made me breathless. Ferenc was a great tour leader in his willingness to organize everything, providing us with the best opportunities to explore the wild and with his patience in answering the countless questions we asked. And last I have to mention Alyson, our local Brazilian guide, who was really extraordinary and shared with us his deep knowledge and love for Pantanal.

Not only a wildlife expedition, but also a cultural experience. We were able to see orangutangs and proboscus monkeys in the wild as well as five species of hornbills. In Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia we were immersed in the culture and amazed by the kindness of the people, without exception. Jessica provided unexcelled leadership when things went as planned and on the couple of occassions that the unexpected factors of expedition travel required her to revise on the fly. Well done.

Mongolia Culture & Nature Expedition 2011
Dear Akos, as I promised, short summary of our Mongolia trip. Everything was planned executed in a very professional way. We haven't experienced any technical issues. Our guide and drivers helped very much to adjust all activities to our expectations and ideas. So we had a good insight into ordinary life, rather than tourist attractions only. We saw ger districts and Black Market in UB, walked small towns and ate local food. We visited school an graveyard, and still had some time for hiking. In most places we had arranged Mongolian meals, which were very tasty. A highlight was of course cooking of the goat with Nomadic family. The goat we bought from them with Yonoo's help. All in all, it was a very good trip. Thanks a lot again to all who contributed to this success.

Lionel Messi Can't Beat Ice Cream
By: The Offside | December 10th, 2012He might be able to defeat Gerd Muller's record for goals in a calendar year, and he might eventually assume the throne for G.O.A.T., but when it comes down to a little kid, he can't beat ice cream. And neither can Kobe Bryant, for that matter.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - As No. 12 Texas A&M gets a break from the high-pressure Southeastern Conference with a non-conference game against UTEP on Saturday, coach Kevin Sumlin took time to reflect on his two star players.
He raved about both quarterback Johnny Manziel and receiver Mike Evans after the two were named semifinals for the Maxwell Award.
Then he wondered why only Manziel was being touted as a Heisman Trophy contender.
He says: "I'm puzzled why Mike Evans isn't in the Heisman race. I think he's as good a player as there is in the country."
The Miners have lost five in a row and are 46-point underdogs heading into the first meeting between these teams since 2000.

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
My suggestion as far as the t.v. thing goes: Allow the T.V. to read your media server.
Because i have my computer, PS3, and internet set up on a switch, and i set my computer up to allow my PS3 to detect it as a media server.
I would love if the T.V. in home could detect the media server and play movies, pictures, music, etc. from it.
i think the problem with your TV idea is that it would set up a free video service in essence, so if it worked out like you said, you could go find whoever and watch their movies for free. And let's not beat around the bush, if you have movie rips on your comp, they're probably not legit. And if they are (is there such a thing as a legit backup?), it would probably violate some term in the FBI Warning at the beginning of every movie. Music might be different, in that it would kind of be like internet radio, which might be ok. Pictures would be cool tho, i don't see how that wold violate anything. Now if you had home videos that are your own that you wanted to share, there would still have to be some kind of policing of them like youtube, which would require more people and more money on sony's part, when you could just go use youtube. Sony is a business, and the bottom line for any business is $$$. I remember some talk, whether it be from xbox/netflix or psn's video store, where you could watch a movie with friend over the net, but it would require both of you to buy that movie from the store or both be signed up with netflix.
As far as Home being at startup, maybe if it was an option, but i can see just as many people being pissed off at having to go through Home just to start a game or whatever. Also, personally i'm glad no one has a headset, because nothing useful comes out of 95% of peoples mouths, it's just **bleep** talking and hate, or just noise and static.
On the whole tho, even if movie watching was somehow implemented, or any of this stuff, it's all contributing to people not having actual human contact. It's why i won't even touch the sims or second life or any of this stuff, it's just enabling people to sit alone in front of their TVs and be antisocial and feel ok about it. You can't beat an actual movie night with actual real life people next to you, and i don't think you should try. Just my opinion, think what you will.
I think Sony is working hard to catch up and gain the lead in the "console war" and I hope they listen to the community, give people what they want and theyll give you money lol. Small features like bundled headsets, changing psn name without making new acct, better voice chat features, way more stuff in the ps store (like all thsoe good old ps1 games) would make alot of ppl happy. Plus ps store could bring in alot of money if used properly. Heck itd be nutz if the put ps2 games on ps store, especially for ppl without backward compatible ps3s, but that wont happen for at least 8 years ( they barely have ps1 games lol). but anyway, better features for online will push them forward maybe into the lead of the online generation/new generation.
One thing I ALREDY LOVE!!! is that they keep pumping software updates to make ps3 better, its so awesome. Keep the updates coming, ps3 will only get better n better!!!!!!

Dave had the vision to look past the chossy nature of the overhanging blocky crag, and see its great potential for steep sport climbing. Others, particularly Tom Herbert, Todd Graham, John Scott, Troy Corliss, Justen Sjong, and Brad Johnson, have also been primary developers. Getting ThereJailhouse is in western Tuolumne County above the Stanislaus River between Lake Tulloch and New Melones Reservoirs. As of November 13, 2011, the climbers' traditional access up a steep hill immediately northeast of the east end of the O'Byrnes Ferry Bridge is CLOSED and not to be used. Instead, the only legal approach to the cliff is through a locked gate off O'Byrnes Ferry Road west of the prison, but before the road drops and winds south into the hairpin turn down to the lake. Do not try to enter the gate marked Shotgun Creek Estates; this is not the correct gate and is private property.

The Costs and Benefits of Buying Organic Food
By Erin J. Shea
Oprah.com | August 13, 2009
Given the choice between two apples with the same outward appearance, would you be willing to pick the one that's 30 cents more just because it's labeled organic?
For most people, that additional 30 cents an apple can add up to a lot of money over time, and going organic can seem a pricey venture. And in light of
a recent study funded by Britain's Food Standards Agency
that claims there is no nutritional difference between organics and conventionally grown produce, consumers are wondering where the benefit is in buying organic produce.
For proponents of organic living, the question isn't as much about cost as it is health and environmental impact. "If you can choose organics, if they are accessible and affordable for you, we recommend you make the organic choice as often as possible," says Amy Rosenthal of the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit environmental health organization. The yearlong study, published in the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
, reviewed 162 scientific papers published in the past 50 years. The authors concluded there is no evidence to suggest that organic foods are nutritionally superior to those grown by conventional methods.
Find out why people eat organically.
Organic Choices
"At first blush, [nutrition] isn't the only reason people go organic," says Libba Letton, spokesperson for Whole Foods Market. "Our customers don't buy organic produce for what's in it, but for what's
in it."
in organic food, Letton says, are the synthetic pesticides and herbicides used in the process of growing conventional produce. Organic farming relies on crop rotation, green-friendly manure and biological pest control. Rosenthal says the Food Standards Agency study that claims there's no nutritional benefit says nothing about how many potential toxic chemicals are in nonorganic food.
Letton points out that Whole Foods customers are not only buying organics to avoid ingesting toxic chemicals, but are also touting the benefits to the environment that come from supporting organic farming. "With organic food production, there isn't anything that goes into the soil or contaminates water supply during the growing process," she says. "Organic farming also is better for the workers by not exposing them to chemicals in the fields."
Is it worth it to go organic?
Small Steps
So is it worth it to go organic? According to Rosenthal, consumers can reap the benefits of organic eating by knowing which products are worth the extra cash and which types of conventionally grown produce contain the lowest amounts of pesticides.
The EWG created
The Shopper's Guide to Pesticides
, a printable list that ranks pesticide contamination levels for
47 popular fruits and vegetables
based on 87,000 tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. The list contains produce that the EWG recommends you buy organic, as well as those that contain the lowest amount of pesticides and can be purchased in a non-organic state.
"We created the list so you can prioritize what you're going to spend your organic dollars on," Rosenthal says. "This way you can buy organic apples but save money by buying conventionally grown peas because you know they contain fewer pesticides."
More ways to save money on organic produce
Saving Tips
No matter your goal when buying organic, there are ways to save money. Letton suggests the following:
Buy your items in season. Even organic food is going to be priced cheaper when it's in season, and this advice applies whether you're buying conventionally or organically grown produce.
Talk to the staff in the produce department of your local grocery store. Ask where the produce comes from, if it's in season and if you can sample it. Make sure you're spending on something worth it.
Buy things in bulk. At Whole Foods, customers who buy in volume are offered up to a 10 percent discount.
Buy only as much as you need. Food bought in large portions often goes to waste. If your store offers a bulk bin option, you can take as much or as little as you need, which also means less packaging.
Make your grocery list and stick to it.
Compare organic-to-organic prices. In stores where there are less organic items, those items tend to be much more expensive.
What does the future of organic buying hold?
Final Tally
Though the organic food market only accounts for 3 percent of the food products in America, Letton says awareness is increasing, as is access to affordable organic products.
Rosenthal agrees. "We're really reaching a sea change," she says. "People are becoming more and more aware of avoiding toxic chemicals, whether it's in their food or in water bottles. We're starting to think a little bit more about what they're ingesting in a way we didn't necessarily think about before."

Once assembled, this is a very cool piece of furniture - heavy and solid, and extremely versatile. It's not particularly easy to put together; I was glad I had a second person to help. The directions were just barely adequate. But all the parts were there, all the holes were in the right place and it went together in about an hour. Love it!
Very pleased with these shelves - easily assembled and sturdy.
Looked great when completed! However, I wanted to pull my hair out while assembling. I assembled on my own and it took about 2hrs. It was going well until I got to the 2nd to last step. The pre-drilled holes were completely misaligned on one shelf! This was a pain to work around. I tried to drill my own holes, but created a mess with particle board everywhere. Eventually I just glued the two sides together without drilling. That shelf is just going to have to remain laying flat on the bottom, I would not trust it to stand up on its side. If I get a better drill, I may take another stab at drilling my own holes. Also, has these little stickers to cover screws. They were super cheap looking but I guess they serve their purpose.
I'm lovin this display shelf for my living room, it looks great! The modern design, and the high quality is even better. For the price i bought it for, I was suprised of how nice the quality it is, and the materials are heavy wood which makes the shelfs very sturdy. Affordable furniture what more can you ask for? It's great!
Easy to put together and loved the way you can switch it around to different positions as modular pieces, however, the way I wanted to have it makes my tv too low to the ground. Not good eye level so I had to buy and spray paint pieces of wood to make a shelf to even it out. I love the compartments though.
it looks great, it was easy to put together. it's clearly cheap and you have to put stickers over the screw holes after you screw it together, but overall we recommend it. if you're not too close, you can't really tell.
I was looking for a shelf to use under the TV and between 2 balconies. It is very good, you can arrange and display as you like. Very satisfied with the result. Great product for the money, very easy to put together.
This rug is perfect for my living room. It is thick and the colors are vibrant. The picture doesn't do it justice! My furniture is very modern and this rug is just the touch I needed. I get compliments all the time.
this is a really cool piece because you can take it apart and display it however you want. it's sturdy enough for a tv, so who knows what else I want to place there. it can display a really awesome painting and other stuff. it's design gives it more appeal and I don't have to get bored with it.
I didn't know what to expect when i ordered this shelf but now that i've set it up i can safely say i absolutely love it. It's modular, sturdy, very aesthetically pleasing, and incredibly functional. the only complaint i have is about the stickers they include to cover up the screws. I ordered the shelf in espresso and the stickers included were black so they stick out a little. Its a small complaint and you could easily just not use them, but it would be nice to have matching stickers. Set up was a bit time consuming but easy once we got in the groove.
