Becky's Americana-Inspired Apartment
House Tour
Name: Becky Emmett and Cheeky the cat
Location: Hove; Sussex, UK
Size: approximately 500 square feet
Years lived in: 5 years
A light-up McDonald's sign, a pair of buffalo horns, a miniature Ghostbusters tableau, framed graffiti on the walls, a gumball machine in the living room: Becky's one bedroom apartment in central Hove packs a lot of personality into a small space. She has transformed the basement flat of a tall, skinny, very English Victorian townhouse into an Americana-inspired Aladdin's cave of vintage, retro and salvaged finds.
Life in London: 10 Tips for Surviving & Thriving
This month marks my seven-year anniversary of living in London, a city I first fell in love with at nine years old. Last week, I was inspired by Abby's post on Life in Los Angeles, and thought I'd tackle a similar topic on my adopted home.
Wayward Plants
The Gardenist
Love Lucy's Studio Under the Arches
Creative Workspace Tour
Name: Lucy Higham of Love Lucy UK
Location: Fishing Quarter; Brighton, UK
Size: 100 square feet
Years in business: 3 years
Lucy Higham describes herself as "a proud member of the growing upcycling movement". In her tiny studio under the arches on Brighton beach, she strips back old battered pieces of furniture to their bare bones and then builds them up again with poppy paint colors and vibrant fabrics. She has just brought in a wooden Ercol sofa she picked up at a car boot sale for around $20. "I stored it at home for a while and we found a mouse living in it." She shows me how the fabric and stuffing have rotted away. Once she has rebuilt the sofa, she plans to cover it with a 1950s reproduction fabric from Sanderson.
Before & After: From Public Restroom to Home Sweet Home
The Telegraph
I've long admired the ingenuity of Londoners when it comes to small spaces. Their storied city of eight million has housing prices even higher than New York's, which means crafty Londoners often have to squeeze in wherever they can. (Case in point: this 77 square foot apartment on the market a few years ago for $335K.) But young architect Laura Clark really takes the cake. She's managed to create a beautiful home — out of a public restroom.

The Gorings' Bright, Inspiring Home & Secret Garden Studio
House Tour
Name: Ebba, Andy and Euan Goring
Location: Kinross, Scotland
Size: 3 Bedroom Maisonette
Years lived in: 3 years; Owned
Ebba and Andrew, newly wed and expecting their first child, found their diamond in the rough in the form of a two story maisonnette in bonny Kinross. The building itself is over a hundred years old, and was converted in the 1960's. Filled with excitement at the purchase of their first home, they gutted the place, demolishing any trace of the 'mint-choc-chip' theme adopted throughout, and replacing it with crisp white walls and grey floorboards — a pretty, clean backdrop to their beautiful collection of craft objects, sculptures and paintings, predominantly by Scottish artists and friends.
Nikki's Sweet and Cheery Print Studio
Creative Studio Tour
Name: Nikki McWilliams
Location: WASPS Meadow Mill Studios; Dundee, Scotland
Size: 200 square feet
Years lived in: 1 year; rented
Nikki McWilliams, famed for her fabulous biscuit-themed soft furnishings, is as sweet as the treats that inspire her work. After graduating in Fine Art from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 2008, she started her own design business in 2009, with a thirst to make functional objects that have a place outside of a gallery setting and take up residence in people's homes. Indeed, each of her pieces is a little work of art – a sculpture, a talking point, a cheeky statement full of personality. It surely takes a sort of (excellent) soul to have a large Tunnocks Teacake sitting proudly on their sofa.

Behind The Barriers Director's Cut: Coyote tattoos
- By VeloNews.com
- Published Nov. 11, 2013
Coyote tattoos
This weekend, we were in Louisville, Kentucky and I got a tattoo. Sometimes these race weekends all bleed together for me, with nothing all that out of the ordinary happening to separate one from another This one will definitely stand out. I didn't have any tattoos, and part of me thought I would go the rest of my life without one. I had been throwing around the idea of getting one for three or four years, but never had a catalyst to actually do it.
The catalyst ended up being Jess Heenan. I'm sure any Behind The Barriers fan is somewhat familiar with Jess. She may also be known as The Cupcake Lady. Her husband, Mike, is the team manager for Rapha-Focus. She comes to a few races every year, and those are always a little more wild and fun than the rest.
Jess started texting me several weeks ago, telling me about how her tattoo artist moved from Milwaukee, her home, to Louisville. She wanted to get a tattoo while she was at the races, and she started to hint around about me getting one with her. I had always had this idea to get a howling coyote on my bicep. I texted the idea to Jess and she said she would get her guy to draft something up.
A moment in my high school life was one of the inspirations for the coyote. I was a senior and one of my best friends, who had graduated early, was working as a bird researcher in Cape May, New Jersey. He swung by at the end of school one day and asked if anyone wanted to go camping at the Delaware Water Gap that night. As the next day was a school day, most of my friends said no, but I was interested. It was foggy and gross on the drive up, which didn't bode well for our comfort that night. We had two sleeping bags and a tarp.
We parked at a random turnaround and hiked in on a random trail. After hiking around for a few hours, it started to get dark, so we picked a spot to set up our stuff. We threw the tarp down in the woods just off the trail, threw the sleeping bags onto it, and then folded the tarp back over the sleeping bags. That way, if it was raining lightly, we wouldn't get wet. The problem was that once we were trying to go to sleep, the rain wasn't light. I didn't sleep very much that night, as there was cold rain water infiltrating our crappy rain setup all night. It did, however, give me an opportunity to hear a bunch of coyotes scattered around us in the woods, howling their heads off all through the night. It was incredibly eery, but also very cool.
We gave up on trying to sleep at about 5 a.m., and my friend drove me to school. All in all, it was sort of a miserable experience, but I'll never forget it because of how weird and out of the ordinary it was. I will especially never forget all of the coyotes.
I forced Jess to get her tattoo first, because I was nervous. She got a pair of flirtatious robots that turned out really well. That gave me a lot more confidence when I jumped in the chair. It ended up being an incredibly fun night. The tattoo artist, Biggs, was an awesome dude, and we all had a total blast. It was a weird and out of the ordinary night that I will never forget, just like that night in the Delaware Water Gap.

What goes in your picnic basket?
- h
- HastaLaPasta Mar 20, 2008 03:52 PM
This is just one of those questions I am interested in hearing various people's varying answers on. What are the one or two food items that absolutely must be included in any picnic meal?
Absolute musts : 2 tasty cheese selections with snackable accoutremonts, typically a brie and a guyere and Sangria to festively wash it and whatever else down. I wish it was warm enough to go on a picnic right now!!!
Good Bread! An absolute must. Say, crusty on the outside, the proper chew on the inside, like a perfect French baguette. If you have good bread in your pic-i-nic basket, you can get away with murder on the rest. The rest can be as simple ( meat and cheese) or as toney (lobster salad in home-made mayonaisse) as you wish. You still need the Good Bread. Lousy styrofoam-y supermarket squishy stuff just doesn't cut the mustard, let alone deserve being spread with it.
Bread. Build from there.
Model 1. Musubi, teriyaki chicken, Japanese style quick pickled vegetables
Model 2. Good bread, cheese, German sausages
Model 3. Sticky rice, laab, dried meat, Lao sausage, lots of greens
Model 4. Different great sandwiches, pickles, potato salad
All with appropriate wines
The "main" stuff depends but we always have our picnic basket stocked(and ready to go) with the following-
Salt and pepper
Packets of Dukes mayo, Dijon mustard and spicy mustard
Sharp knife and small cutting board
A couple of garbage bags
Cutlery, plates, plastic wine glasses, and napkins
A tablecloth
A couple of spreaders and some small tongs
When we get home we wash up and restock.
my favorite picnic treat is probably cold salmon, brined and smoked, with herbed cream cheese and melba toasts.
re: swsidejim
Now there's a minimilast approach! Sounds delicious.
re: Catskillgirl
I need these items, anything else is just a condiment for me.
I can't remember if I've ever taken fried chicken on a picnic, but some of the things I do remember are:
Terrines, both meat and veggie
Pasta salad
Lots of artisan breads
Steaks and an hibachi
Good wine
Good cheese
Great big mufletta type sandwiches with even more deli cuts in them
And then there were the scuba/sailing picnics where we just took a salad, a loaf of crusty bread, a bottle of white wine, an hibachi (just in case) and ate whatever was brought up from the sea.
And let's not leave out the occasional hotdog or brat, with potato salad, kraut, mustard and a nice German wine.
re: Caroline1
I second the motion that wine is an absolute must at a picnic, unless of course you are a teetotaler. Chenin Blanc (Vouvray) is perfect, although Pinot Grigio will work as well. Both will go great with just about all picnic foods. If you prefer a red wine, I would suggest a light and fruity blend, or a shiraz, but then shiraz is probably my favorite red varietal and I like it with almost anything.
re: Thefoodczar
Don't laugh, but my very favorite red picnic wine (unless we're doing steak on the hibachi) is...
You ready for this?
Hey, can you imagine Lambrusco and Pop Rocks for dessert? '-) Seriously, it really is one of my favorite reds, and it's great on picnics.
re: Caroline1
A picnic is never complete without good cheese, crackers, and fresh fruit cup.
A CORKSCREW!! It's always a real bummer when you get to the park and can't open that damn bottle of wine!
I'm also a sucker for a great fried chicken, cole slaw picnic. Can't beat that!
re: JungMann
JungMann, I lift my 7-Up bottle of gin and tonic to you!
It's really sad that we cannot have an urbane picnic, along with an adult beverage, in most parks. Very unlike Europe. I hate being a scofflaw (or maybe secretly love it...hmmm...), but until the collective "we" remove heads-from-butts, this is going to happen.
Most of us having urbane picnics are not the ones gang-tagging on park buildings, no?
Beginning to think I am on a gourmet site here. Everything sounds so good in that picnic basket, but me, being a country girl, LOVE LOVE LOVE my fried chicken, potatoe salad, and the biggest plate of homemade pastries ever. Lemonade is a must too, but don't forget the flavorings that go in it! But I sure wont turn down anyone elses offer for a picnic. Me & BooBoo will be there.
re: thecountryrose
I love fried chicken, but it's one of the things I hate most at picnics. It always ends up soggy and unpleasant. Any tips on how to keep it warm and crisp?
re: JungMann
Don't try to keep it warm. Cold fried chicken is best for picnics.
My favorite picnic is simple family fare: meat-n-cheese sandwiches on white bread, veggies with ranch dip, potato chips, cookies, and soda/gatorade.
re: thecountryrose
"emeril essences"? Not sure I want to go there.
re: Sam Fujisaka
yea you do. best spice around
I've done everything from cheese, crackers and wine to fried chicken, potato salad and chocolate cake. It all depends on the who, what and where factors. My favorite picnic, though, is cold soba noodle salad with a peanut and soy dressing, szechuan green beans and Tsingtao beer. Yep, I know I'm mixing my cuisines here, but they taste good together.
One of my favorite items is pan bagnat: a really good French baguette split sideways, rubbed with garlic, drizzled with really great olive oil, thinly sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, capers, red onion, salt and pepper, wrapped and squished flat. And a couple of fresh figs for fruit, then a caramel au fleur de sel tart for dessert. Really great for a bike ride out to the rapids...
And of course, kalbi (korean marinated short ribs) done on charcoal in a little hibachi and korean side dishes, kimbab (korean style maki-sushi). Takes me right back to my childhood.
re: poached
The great thing about Pan Bagnat is that you can stick whatever you want in it. Some people put thin slices of cheese, roasted pepper, pesto, tuna, whatever tastes good! Be generous with the olive oil on the cut surface of the bread. Wrap in plastic wrap and put something heavy on it like a big book for about 1 hour. Cut into slices and enjoy!
re: moh
I am partial to moh's descrition, since I love the salade Nicoise in a pan bagnat. I'll add this: making the pan bagnat with a boule type bread is wonderful, and confines the sloppy ingredients more effectively. (Dig out a bit of the boule if necessary, to make room for the salade Nicoise.) Any mess after serving, is...well, on us. Most of the liquid is absorbed delicously.
Can't wait for a picnic!
re: cayjohan
DIgging out the boule is a great idea! I'll have to try that on my next sandwich. Great idea! And finally the weather is improving for a picnic, perfect timing...
Never did picnics as a kid. As a young newlywed in Mexico, outdoor eating was a regular weekend activity. On May 1, (labor day) we would slaughter a pig in the early morning, and have carnitas cooked in a big pot on the woodfire for dinner. OMG, and water straight from the well! mmm mmm
Anyway, since I can't get a pig into a picnic basket, I would pack my old standby- tortas on crusty bolillo's with ham, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, and avocado. And a Modelo Especial to wash them down!
However, it's hard to fit a pig in picnic basket, so I would do the alternative
I almost never picnic, but while in Madrid my host family packed a basket full of:
- perfect crusty, chewy bread
- tortilla (the Spanish potato omelet, not the flour wrap)
- several bottles of Rioja
- tomatoes on the vine, from the garden
- slices of aged manchego and serrano ham
- a small container of juicy olives
And off to the Retiro park we went. What a great memory!
Our usual picnic is very simple: we go to the Ferry Building or another specialty food market, and pick up a loaf of artisanal bread (or sometimes some good crackers), a couple of varieties of cheese (farmhouse sharp cheddar and Point Reyes blue are favorites, plus whatever else catches our eye), some fresh fruits (apples, pears, peaches, cherries, whatever is in season), and sometimes we buy a red bell pepper to eat with the cheese. Then a nice bottle of wine - usually this would be red wine, since we don't bring a cooler but just our bike bags. My husband's Swiss Army knife has a perfect cheese/fruit/veg blade plus a corkscrew, so we're set. We take along a few plastic cups for the wine, which we wash and reuse, but otherwise our set up is finger food only.
Picnic baskets bring back very fond childhood memories. Every Saturday in the summer, Mom would pack our wooden large basket with homemade cole slaw, potato salad, cucumber salad (very Hungarian), sliced tomatoes, good crusty artisanal bread/rolls, homemade brownies, fruit salad and other treats. There was a time that I was upset she wouldn't just buy us hot dogs and hamburgers, as we went to a large amusement park. When you are a kid, you don't want to be different, but as an adult I cherish the amount of work and special care that went into making our favorite treats. And yes, all of the friends we brought with us came in large part for the food as well!
My favorite so far is a roasted veggie sandwich with Ricotta that I got from Dave Lieberman on the food network. Wonderful at room temperature with whatever fruit is in season and a nice bottle of wine. Can't wait until Opera in the Park season starts!
Fried chicken is a must! Served cold with hot sauce. Potato salad and/or coleslaw. Crusty rolls with butter. Crudites are a nice touch, but not necessary. Dessert - apple pie or crisp, no need for ice cream. If the site has access to BBQ pits, ribs are a great addition.
What a great thread. I can never decide what to take to a picnic, and it usually ends up as a sandwich each and some crisps or something. I'm gonna make an effort to try some of your ideas :)

better wine
cured meats

The VideoConnection uses state of the art 2.4GHz technology to transmit crisp clear video and audio signals through the walls and between the rooms in a house. The hidden high gain antenna reduces interference. Use the VideoConnection to send the audio/video signals from a satellite receiver, VCR, camcorder, DVD or other video source to a TV in a different room.
I needed a way to send audio from my laptop computedr (without any video) across the room to my stereo system, about 12 feet line of sight with no obstructions, so I emailed MCM costumer service representative, who was very helpful, and he recommended the V2.4GHZ WIRELESS AUDIO VIDEO TRANSCEIVER VIDEOCONNECTION. The instructions that came with it/them are borderline useful. The 2.4GHZ WIRELESS AUDIO VIDEO TRANSCEIVER VIDEOCONNECTION has two units or transceivers, each with it's own power supply. I assumed each unit works equally well as a transmitter or receiver as the other unit does. Simply attach the power supply to its tranceiver, plug the power supply into the wall outlet, point the arrows on the transceivers toward each other and turn on the switches on the sides of the transceivers.
Getting the audio and video signals into the tranmitting unit and the output audio and video signals from the receiving unit to whatever equipment you have will require cables not included with the 2.4GHZ WIRELESS AUDIO VIDEO TRANSCEIVER VIDEOCONNECTION.
The transmitter output power is borderline. There is a clicking sound, several times per second, along with the transmitted audio, from the speakers. Repositiong the transceivers does not reliably help. I'll have to ferret out the source of the interfering signal, later. The regularity of the click signal could mean the interference is from my computer itself or a peripheral attached to it.
Except as mentioned above, I don't find any other faults with the 2.4GHZ WIRELESS AUDIO VIDEO TRANSCEIVER VIDEOCONNECTION. I cannot comment on the video quality.
I am always skeptical about wireless video and audio, always expecting fuzzy pictures, drifting signals, and distorted sound. Well the Astrotel Communications 2.4ghz Wireless Audio Video Transceiver impressed me. I use them for sending analog composite video and stereo sound from a satellite's 2nd tuner through a couple of walls (about 30 feet) to my Hdtv in the kitchen, with no appareent loss in Quality. You should know before buying (many of which it tells you in the owners manual): The receiver and transmitter are powered with "wall wart" transformers, for the best signal possible, they must be pointed toward each other (there are "arrows" on each unit, and it really does matter), appliances like microwaves can interfere (using the microwave, about 10 feet away, the picture is blocked and the sound becomes constant noise, other appliances don't seem to interfere). In summary, I bought it on sale and feel that for the convieneance and performance, it would have been worth full price.

Future of Nursing Initiative
Previous studies have shown that patients who listen to music during surgery under regional anesthesia require less intraoperative sedation. But is this because music has a positive effect or simply because distressing intraoperative noise is muted? To find out, researchers at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn., randomly assigned 80 adult patients to three groups. One group listened to operating room noise, another wore headphones and listened to their choice of music, and the third wore headphones and listened to white noise.
All patients underwent urologic procedures with spinal anesthesia and patient-controlled intravenous propofol sedation. Propofol is a sedative-hypnotic drug that can be used for both induction and maintenance of anesthesia.
Patients who listened to music used less propofol than those who listened to operating room noises or white noise; patients in the latter groups had similar sedative requirements. Based on these findings, the researchers recommend encouraging patients to take their favorite CDs to the surgical suite.

Clare of Assisi died 760 years ago tomorrow (August 11, 1253). Yet she remains as much a beacon for women and men of faith today as she did in her own day. For centuries the story of Clare has been interpreted through the life of Saint Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), the one-time playboy who was destined to become Catholicism's most popular saint.Yet her indomitable faith complements that of her guide and truest love, St. Francis, whom I wrote about in my book A Mended and Broken Heart: The L … [Read more...]

When Divorce Is a Moral Imperative ~ Part 2
In my previous post I ended on the disheartening note that, after the failed attempt at marital counseling, I felt left on my own as to how to proceed and that the Kingdom of God was at stake. I was wrong on both counts. Help came to me surprisingly from two unexpected sources.The first was God, whom I assumed had consigned a certain level of purgatory for pastor's wives--the price to be paid for the salvation of others through the ministrations of their husbands. I shook my fist at God over … [Read more...]
When Divorce Is a Moral Imperative ~ Part 1
It has been 10 years since my divorce. I was married to a pastor. Our marriage ended after 24 years. I am no longer my ex-husband's wife. He has another wife and he also has another church. But this does not disqualify me from knowing the truth of what it takes to be married to pastor and why so many of these marriages fall apart in time.I am discovering that whenever I write or blog about the intractable dilemma of a Christian marriage ending in divorce, or -- more to the … [Read more...]
The Hidden Life of Clare of Assisi
The hidden life of Clare of Assisi (119-[something] to 1253) is forever bound to that of Saint Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), though Clare was a force unto herself who cast her own light and left a unique echo. I have already written a book about Francis (A Mended and Broken Heart, 2008, Basic Books) and have now turned my thoughts to Clare--the medieval feminine expression of Francis' spiritual vision. She has a lot she can teach today's women because she was -- as Hillary Clinton recently … [Read more...]

Joan Didion said, "We tell ourselves stories in order to live."

DEFINITION of 'Step Premium'
A type of option where the cost of purchasing the option is paid gradually as the strike approaches instead of when the trade is initiated. The options contract spells out how much premium must be paid and when. A step premium option is more expensive than a plain vanilla in-the-money option, but less expensive than a contingent premium option. With the latter, the investor does not pay a premium if the option expires out of the money.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Step Premium'
A step premium option is considered a structured option. A wide variety of options exist to meet different investment needs, and their premiums reflect the unique risks and rewards associated with each type of option. Investors like options because they offer a cost-efficient way to invest in an underlying asset, they can reduce investment risk when used correctly, they allow the potential for higher percentage returns by using leverage and they provide the flexibility to develop numerous trading strategies.

Powerful Earthquake off South American Coast Causes Tsunami Alarm, Evacuation
A powerful 8.0 earthquake hit off the coast of Chile on Tuesday triggering a tsunami warning all along Latin America's coast, according to the BBC. Chile's National Emergency Office asked via Twitter that the country's coastal residents evacuate, according to CNN.
Details are still a bit sketchy, but here's more on the developing situation from the BBC:
[The USGS] said the quake was very shallow, only 10km below the seabed, which would have made it feel stronger. It was centred 86km (56 miles) north-west of the mining area of Iquique. The Chilean authorities have used TV to order the evacuation of coastal areas, urging citizens to escape speedily. A warning from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said that the coasts of Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua were all at risk of a tsunami. It warned that waves of up to 1.92m (6.3ft) could have struck near the town of Pisagua, Chile, within 44 minutes of the quake.
ABC News reports that in 2010 "a magnitude-8.8 quake and ensuing tsunami in central Chile killed more than 500 people, destroyed 220,000 homes, and caused widespread damage to docks, riverfronts and seaside resorts."

The America you thought you knew is gone. We are a nation following our leaders willingly into economic, moral, and political decline. No longer is our country based on godly principles and morality. What are Christians to do?
Erwin Lutzer offers hope and a challenge to Christians. It is not time to despair even as you face these difficult realities. 2,000 years of church history are behind us to show that the church does not need freedom or ease to be faithful. God's work, His calling on His people, can be fulfilled no matter what.
In this succinct book, Dr. Lutzer calls Christians to be agents of change in these increasingly secular times, and he offers hope and direction. As the nation changes, Christians are called to change too, to be faithful ambassadors for Christ in a country that cares little for Him.

TRENTON - A Superior Court judge refused a request from two patients to appoint a monitor to supervise the state's stalled medical marijuana program Thursday and instead sent their case to the Appellate Division.
Richard Caporusso of Medford Lakes and Caroline Glock, now deceased, of Toms River sued the state Department of Health last year, saying they were denied medication because the department took nearly three years to get the program under way. Their lawyers sought a monitor and court orders compelling corrective action.
Instead, Judge Mary C. Jacobson ordered the case transferred to an appeals panel, which she said normally hears legal challenges stemming from the "actions and inactions" of administrative agencies. She denied the state's motion to dismiss the case and questioned why the department had missed several deadlines.

The Saybrook Forum
Test score fiascos demonstrate, again, how much American education needs a humanistic mission07/06/2011
What's that? There was widespread cheating on standardized tests in the Atlanta school system?
Surprise surprise …
It's gotten to the point where you can reasonably expect: if a school district or state doubles down on standardized testing, forces teachers and schools to be held accountable for student scores, and then announcing amazing gains, a major cheating scandal will follow like night and day.
Texas, Washington D.C., Atlanta … all of the "miracle"gains caused by overemphasis on standardized tests have been increases only in smoke and mirrors.
So our emphasis on high stakes testing isn't actually increasing student learning … and it's causing what one analyst called "management by fear" in school systems. That can't be good for teachers or principles.
It's worse for students. As the Triple-Pundit blog noted, standardized testing actually impedes students' ability to engage in systems thinking … exactly the kind of creative problem solving most valuable in the 21st century.
What are we doing? Why would we constantly push an educational practice that creates climates of fear, encourage cheating, hurts creative systems thinking, and doesn't even improve performance?
Why do we do that?
What's college for in the 21st century?07/05/2011
In a recent essay for The New Yorker, Louis Menard recalls the first time a student ever asked him "Why did we have to read this book?" It's the more direct way of asking: what is this education good for?
It was, apparently, the first time he'd ever thought of the question himself.
I could see that this was not only a perfectly legitimate question; it was a very interesting question. The students were asking me to justify the return on investment in a college education. I just had never been called upon to think about this before. It wasn't part of my training. We took the value of the business we were in for granted.
The answer, he decided, depends on what college is for – and nobody's really sure of that, anymore, are they?
Calling Existentialists in the San Francisco Bay area07/04/2011
Do you want to connect with other existentially oriented therapists in the Bay Area?
The Existential Humanistic Institute is hosting a Learning Community on Thursday, July 7, to connect people interested in existential therapy and see how a vibrant existential culture can address local and global needs.
A Learning Community is a social forum in which people who share a common interest can get together and network, share resources and ideas, brainstorm, and build a local support system in the psychological world at large. Learning community meetings can look very different depending on who organizes them, but the common thread which they all share is that they bring people together who have diverging interests. It is also helpful to invite people from other professions (e.g. – the artistic community, the teaching community, the medical community) to create an integrative grassroots forum.
The EHI's Learning Community meeting will be held:
- Date: Thursday, July 7th, 2011
- Time: 7:00 - 9:00 PM
- Location: Laguna Grove Care
- Address: 624 Laguna St. Map http://tinyurl.com/427obrj

Sep 23, 2010When i first fired up the game, i did not knew what to expect, as i know codemasters from their superb rally games, where dirt 2 is being my favorite one, and in the old day's i remember some toy cars in and around the house, where i first saw it on the sega megadrive. so far, i only played codemasters games that could do drifts. so how's formula 1's grip driving going to work ? after a 2 hours ride in one row, i can safely say they did it. just wonderfull. and for the novice players who also like to be in a formula 1 season, rejoyce, as codemasters have put in a lot of options that can be turned on, off, or somewhat in the middle. like auto braking, a row of arrows showing the proper racing line, and turns to red if you enter the corner to fast. also a option for a less nervous car in the shape of stabillity controll, and the computer AI can be adjusted.
so, everything's in there, from the options, to the proper feeling of the drive, but is this game trying to be different ? well, for me, yes. i never have played a formula 1 racer where you get interviewed if you placed 3'rd or better, and you have a lovely girl in your trailer doing all the office stuff, like sweettalking other teams if you want to race for the bigger players on the grid. you will recognize the menue structure, witch, like in DiRT 2, keeps you in the formula 1 mood, as there's people outside your trailer talking, taking notes, and there's the few members of the press that sometimes calls you out for a small interview. those interviews must not be taken lightly, as what you say to them will have a effect on the team. so trashtalking about your co driver won't be tolerated.
ok, lets talk numbers: 19 tracks, the full racing grid, tons of options, and the feeling of being there. lets do the proper review:
graphics: 9.0: considering the huge amount of F1 cars on the track, the trackside is still very detailed, and even the early tracks youll race looks just like a replica of the real track. with grass sticking out instead of being a texture, and even buildings far away are in proper 3D, with details like balkony's and airconditioning. there's only one thing missing, and that's the publick, they are there, but i expected some flash photography, and maybe some confetti, but that's jsut a minor gripe. with a more than solid framerate, this complets the picture. properly done, and no real faults.
sound: 8.5: not all the car's sounds differently, but play this trough a stereo instead of the speakers from a lcd/plasma/led tv, and youll be more than just content. in some cases you feel like being there. sure, not everything is just as swift as the graphics are, like when a car passes you, the engine note does not always swell up properly, but in the heat of the batle, who cares? to bad the music only plays when youre in the menue, as the race only has the surrounding noice, and engine notes. but that may be what the programmers liked the most, as a proper F1 car does not have a stereo.
gameplay: 9.5: with so many options, there's bound to be a way the game feels like you want it to. exept when you want to drift, but then you've got the wrong game. this game feels fast, has wickedly responsive controlls, and just somehow they managed to get the racing feeling transferred to both the MS steering wheel as well as the normal game pad. just love it. hope they will make a sequel.
lastabillity: 9.5: for me, this last longer than the 2010 racing season. with 19 tracks (with variable weather), all the F1 cars, online play, and lots of game modes (time trial, single race, single season, and the big game mode), this game will last me a very long time. i don't mind driving 7 seasons, like i indeed just started.
totall score: 9.5: i don't dare give it a 10, as if codemasters will create a sequel, and use the knowledge of what they did with this game, and what input they might get from players, i guess the sequell may get a little bit better. so that's why i went for 9.5. i'm a racing nut tough, so not everyone will agree. it's a matter of taste. if you love F1, you love this. this ranks from sim racer to sim race teacher (i'm glad there's only auto brake, not auto stearing, as then there would be no reason to really participate :-P). i'm more than impressed with the final product. it took a long time to make, but the end result is done exelent. two thumbs up for codemasters.… Expand
Sep 22, 2010This is a brilliant game, Codemasters have done this justice. If I did have one gripe with the game it would be nice to see some in game commentary from the BBC team, but other than that...the game play, layout, graphics are all fantastic. Cant wait to finish work today to get back into it
Sep 26, 2010This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Il miglior gioco di F1 esistente sulle console di nuova generazione.Immediato, immersivo,appagante.Il motore grafico è eccezionale e i circuiti disegnati alla perfezione ( vedi MonteCarlo ).
I comandi risultano essere ben calibrati sia con il joypad che con il volante.… Expand
Sep 25, 2010Great game - without doubt. It's very, VERY fast so when you are driving you must be in 100% in the game. Driving feels realistic (if you can think how's driving feels travelling 350 km/h in a car). Look & feel in the game - great - it looks like good old game from Codemasters. My score 9 because of three things - why the hell when you're going to pit stop other drivers pass you through you - like they were ghost cars, but during the race?! - then when you are in the pit your pitman will hold you long enough for all other drivers to pass you ... great, simply great and last thing - why in short racing weekend the "Q" part is shortened to only 1 step - I know it's because "short" weekend... but it looks weird. I hope that those things will be covered in updates... especially first two - if yes I'll definetely score this game 10.… Expand
Sep 29, 2010I got the game for my Xbox360 with high hopes and great expectations. I must say that I was not disappointed. The game presentation is very good, graphics is very good, gameplay (driving physics) is fantastic, the weather system is fantastic and the sound of the cars is great. The game modes on offer are good, and the career mode is fantastic. My first team is Lotus and as in real life I always keep a wary eye on my teammate. Driving for this team I do not hope to win the championship, but beating my teammate gives me great satisfaction as I am the number 2 driver in the team. Also taking part in all sessions over a race weekend is exiting as there is always a sense of competition and excitement.
I do not want to give away spoilers, so I will say that since F1 97 on PlayStation 1, this is the best F1 game ever (on console) as it captures the same excitement of competing (as in F1 97) and greatly improves on it. Believe me I have played them all. Go get the game if you like F1.… Expand
Oct 2, 2010This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just great ! Incredible graphics, speed sensations, sound...
Online mode is crazy (no bas driver at yet).
A few bugs, but game experience will make you forget them !… Expand
Nov 3, 2010Quite expensive when I got the game at £43, but still, there is a lot to like about Formula One 2010. Is it better or worse than Forza 3? Well, the first thing of course, is the weather. Not only the rain dramatically affects your tyres, but sometimes the weather changes, and it is impressive to look at when the rain stops, bringing a colourful road up ahead. Secondly, it has a lot of tracks too, with some of them longer than others in the previous years, with the changes to the track updated (Silverstone, for example). The third thing is the extensive career mode, and the fact that for the first time ever you can get interviewed! The only bad thing is there's no split-screen multiplayer, but that doesn't mean that they took multiplayer out of the way. They have a party mode for time trials which supports up to 8 players (Up from just 4 players in 2003). Also, you can't change the grid order of the drivers when in race only mode (although they tried to make it as realistic as possible, it wouldn't be so realistic in terms of proper qualifying times which occured in earlier races such as Schumacher starting 21st in Belgium). However, with the inclusion of split-screen, this would deserve a perfect 10.… Expand
Nov 19, 2010F1 2010 is a fantastic game. It gives you a lot of information and details about race. The commentary is very good and well displayed. The sound effects is very good. The formula one drivers are very detailed. You can control the formula one cars and they are very fast to driver.
Jan 24, 2011Whilst admittedly rough around the edges in parts, the bulk of the virtual racing experience is entirely refreshing.
Jan 12, 2011F1 2010 isn't for everyone, but if you like it, you'll like it a lot for quite a while.

When you can get proven vet Willy Taveras, unproven AAAA player Wil Myers is surplus.5. Fernigal McGunnigle has become a merry hat Posted: December 11, 2012 at 02:16 PM (#4321894)
When you can get proven vet Willy Taveras, unproven AAAA player Wil Myers is surplus.
I think that Taveras will literally replace Myers, in that he'll play CF in Omaha. Someone has to. Yem Prades hit 269/288/390 in AA and the other CFs in the high minors are vets, organizational soldiers, and other assorted non-entities. The pitchers in AAA will appreciate having a competent flycatcher out there.
Where did he play last year? B-R doesn't even show him playing in the minors. Was he with some independent league team?7. base ball chick Posted: December 11, 2012 at 03:15 PM (#4321992)
wonder if he can still run/steal bases. last i looked, he was terrible vs leftys. he also has close to zero strike zone judgement.8. vortex of dissipation Posted: December 11, 2012 at 03:23 PM (#4322005)
hard to believe he came up in 05. it seems like a lifetime ago
He was out of baseball completely in 2012.9. What did Billy Ripken have against ElRoy Face? Posted: December 11, 2012 at 03:26 PM (#4322011)
So much for the "Dayton Moore sacrificing the future in a misguided attempt to save his job" meme. He's now proven he's completely willing to make moves that have no chance of helping the Royals in 2013.10. Voros McCracken of Pinkus Posted: December 11, 2012 at 03:40 PM (#4322039)
Doesn't he already have Jarrod Dyson? What does he need the older model for?11. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad) Posted: December 11, 2012 at 04:28 PM (#4322129)
Guys like this tend to be pretty useful for a bit, but they have this dangerous tendency to start to cost a lot more money right when their effectiveness starts to crater.
Hey, as NRIs go, I've seen worse. Good for Willy.12. RJ in TO Posted: December 11, 2012 at 04:59 PM (#4322185)

You saw the 2012 Blue Jays bench?
Good for Willy.
I agree. As far as emergency CF options stashed at AAA go, he's a perfectly acceptable one.
He was out of baseball completely in 2012.
Not quite. He's playing in the Mexican Pacific League right now.

U.S. Embassy Condemnation of Suicide Attack in Kabul
The U.S. Embassy condemns, in the strongest terms, the suicide bombing that took place today this morning near Kabul International airport, killing at least 10 people and injuring several others, including members of the Afghan National Police. Many of the victims were contracted personnel of a private company providing services to USAID and other organizations in Afghanistan. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of all of the victims, and we wish for a full recovery to the injured. This vicious attack again shows that the insurgents have no respect for human life. As Secretary Clinton has said, "There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind." Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those killed and injured in the attack. The United States will continue to stand resolutely with our partners as they defend themselves against terrorism and build a more peaceful future. -

The Top 100 Inspirational Books: 40 - 21
30 - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
unprecedented worldwide success of the Harry
Potter franchise (to date it is the highest grossing franchise of all time
with $2.4 billion in revenue) can make it difficult to recall why the first
book was so successful. That success was based on a number of factors but, for
a moment, lets ignore some of them: the wildly imaginative magical world that
author J.K. Rowling created; the unforgettable and idiosyncratic characters she
gave life to; the readable prose that appealed to children but didn't insult
older readers. All partial reasons why Harry
Potter became the phenomenon that it did.
But the real reason, and the reason this book is on our list, is that Harry Potter was really a simple story of an unloved boy who discovered that his life had a grand purpose. All children wonder, to varying degrees, if they are important and loved. Are they simply what their parents and peers think of them and say about them? Or are they more than that? Are they destined for great things? The story of Harry Potter inspired an entire generation of children to dream big and believe that no matter what the world might say about them, their lives had purpose and value. Even if they lived in the cupboard under the stairs, they could become the child who saved the world.

Recipe: Cumin Lamb Stir-Fry
Serves 4
1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds
2 teaspoons Sichuan or regular peppercorns
1 pound boneless lamb
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
4 to 8 dried red chilies (or substitute ½ teaspoon or more crushed red pepper)
1 large white onion
1 bunch (about 8) scallions, trimmed
2 tablespoons peanut oil
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1½ tablespoons soy sauce
1½ tablespoons Chinese cooking sherry (Shaoxing rice wine) or dry sherry
2 cups fresh cilantro, leaves and stems
Rice, for serving
1. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast cumin seeds and peppercorns until fragrant, one to two minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle, and crush lightly.
2. Slice meat across the grain into ½-inch-thick strips. Toss meat with crushed spices, ground cumin, salt and dried chilies.
3. Peel onion and halve it through the root end. Trim the ends and cut each half lengthwise into ½-inch-thick slices. Cut white and light green parts of scallions into 2-inch lengths. Thinly slice scallion greens; keep separate.
4. Heat a very large skillet or wok over high heat until screaming hot, about five minutes. Add oil. Toss in onion and the scallion bottoms. Cook, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are lightly charred but still crisp, about two minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
5. Add lamb and chilies to skillet. Cook, tossing quickly, until meat begins to brown. Add garlic, soy sauce and sherry. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and lamb is cooked through, about two minutes. Toss in onions and scallions. Remove from heat and mix in cilantro and scallion greens. Serve hot, over rice.

text: Plans to bring Broadway hit Wicked to the West End seem to be well advanced. The latest prediction is that it will open at the Apollo Victoria in autumn 2006. Based on Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the musical fantasy rewinds from The Wizard of Oz to tell the back story of the warring witches. The stage production opened in October 2003 at New York's George Gershwin Theater, where it's still running. It has a score by Stephen Schwartz (Pippin, Godspell) and book by Winnie Holtzman and is directed by Joe Mantello who would recreate his production in the West End. Mantello has previously directed Richard Greenberg's play Take Me Out at the Donmar Warehouse before its New York transfer.
