Project in Detail
Wafra Living
AGi Architects, Spain, Spain
World Architecture Festival 2011 - Category Winner
Wafra Living_Aerial View
The design for the "Wafra Living" complex, consists of a high rise building set back from the street and an L-shaped building defining the street edge, conceived to maximize privacy within the community, whilst providing ample natural light and usable indoor and outdoor common spaces. Cuts have been made in the front building in order to provide better views for the lower floor apartments in the back tower. The proposal combines at different levels domestic and collective scales, private and public, within the complex, whilst at the same time traces the way to merge in the neighborhood by offering part of the ground floor level (where the pedestrian and car access are) to community life through the retail facilities included. At level +6.00 m is created a "High Square", a community space for the tenants to enjoy sports or any other leisure activities in a more private environment. A "veil" is created on the façade as an occupiable layer that conceals the various service spaces within the apartments that do not directly relate to the public. It is a unifying element throughout the project that is seen as a constructed space, rather than an aesthetic façade layer, that can be used for various purposes. It defines the whole compound as it starts on the 6th floor and grows, like ivy, vertically and horizontally, complementing the rest of the façade. It also serves to solve the needs for fi re egress and even as a walking path to the users. Thus this layer hosts the fi re escape stairs, separated away from the cores to be placed in this secondary circulation layer that faces the inner courtyard of the complex.

Shoe lifts also known as heel lifts or height increase shoe inserts, have already been on offer for a time now, intended as an inexpensive substitute for those burdensome and high priced "elevator shoes" which are the fore runner of shoe lifts. Tiny inserts installed within the shoe to lift the heel to add to the height, causing the exact same effect as ladies high heel boots or shoes. This consequence had up to now only been provided with "elevator shoes" in which the inserts had been actually an integral element of the shoe itself. Elevator shoes were a revolutionary idea that worked for a lot of people, who experienced necessity for a boost in height.Even though highly effective and intensely popular, "elevator shoes" were built with a grave disadvantage, monetary in nature and even highly restrictive, because an person hoping to get the obvious rewards, paid a top asking price for those shoes yet , only had the benefit in height increase, when wearing those shoes and solely, those shoes. Important extra height was just offered with those unique and high priced shoes. The minute not wearing thecostly shoes, the person's basic height was again restored immediately, making sure that height was determined by wearing the "elevator shoes" at all hours of the day and for all periods, whether it be work or play. Men, or female for instance, looking as being of a certain height, would amazingly get smaller at certain times of the day, if not constantly alert to the necessity of wearing their " elevator shoes constantly.
What was needed for these constraints, came into effect the day shoe lifts were developed, versatile and economical, they presented the exact same effect as their counterparts but without the monetary price or restrictions, right away those people that had to have a height increase might obtain the shoe lifts and move them to any of the shoes they already had, many of the more cost effective shoe lifts could be acquired for the price tag on one set of the "elevator shoes", promising a maintainable rise in height for all occasions and any hour of the day.
Shoe lifts come in a choice of models all providing instantaneous height increase at an inexpensive price and totally interchangeable with whatever was the shoe of preference for that day. Many are of just one piece even though effective give a sharp increase of height that might be readily noticeable. Some shoe lifts are adjustable, using several inserts, which can be gradually introduced with the intention that height increase is gradual and likely a lot less noticeable also giving an individual the opportunity to get familiar with their rise in height.
There are more gains to an person that wears shoe lifts, besides the evident height increase, quite a few people have, leg length discrepancy conditions, one leg basically shorter compared to the other, the application of one of the shoe lifts may help to counter act the irregularity in leg length, protecting against lots of the problems encountered, along the lines of leg and back pain, quite besides preventing difficult limping. Plenty of podiatry professionals, regularly prescribe using shoe lifts to provide a treatment for leg length disparity concerns and a multitude of people have benefited.

Vegan Heartland's 1-year Anniversary!
I can't believe it's been 1 year already since I started this blog. It still feels like yesterday when I got the idea to share my ideas and recipes with more than just my friends and family. I felt I was doing something special - and I wanted to help other people by sharing delicious and easy recipes. I hope I've helped all of you in some way this past year whether it be by sharing important animal rights information, letting you know about a new Vegan product, or helping you find that special recipe you could make for your friends and family. The first recipe I knew I had to share with the world was posted on 12/26/11 and it was a recipe for...
I love those cinnamon rolls. I made them for Christmas morning last year - and made them again this year, but with some pumpkin butter and pecans in the middle. Delicious! Some of your (and some of my) other favorite posts this year have been my Pumpkin Spice Cake, Apple Crisp Cheesecake, Raw Strawberry Ice Cream, and my Peanut Butter "Cup"cakes. My Pumpkin Spice Cake is the #1 recipe here on Vegan Heartland with over 5,000 page views! If you haven't tried it - you must! It's so, so good!
I've learned a lot about myself this past year. I've always known that I'm a hard worker, but I've never had so much on my plate at once. I guess I would rather feel like I'm accomplishing something while having a TON to do than doing nothing at all and being stagnant. I still feel like I have SO much left to accomplish, but 2011 was an amazing year for me. I've gotten the chance to know some really amazing people through this site that I would have never gotten the opportunity to know otherwise. I've been fortunate enough to be able to talk to some of my amazing readers, other bloggers, reps from some AMAZING Vegan companies, Facebook Fans, and Twitter Followers. I love being able to chat with all of you!
I've hit so many milestones this past year with Vegan Heartland - it feels like it's been two years! I hit not only 1,000 fans on Facebook, but Vegan Heartland now has over 2,000 fans (and counting...). I love chatting with all of my over 700 Twitter followers and hopefully I've been able to answer any questions you've had. I can't wait until I hit that 1,000 Twitter followers milestone! I'm so honored you've chosen my blog to read and took the time to "like" me on Facebook or "follow" me on Twitter.
Another HUGE milestone that was hit this year just happened a couple of days ago. This December - I saw the most traffic in one month than I've ever had on Vegan Heartland. In December, Vegan Heartland had over 20,000 page views! I only have you guys to thank for that. Part of the reason I work so hard is knowing that I'm helping people and animals live a happier and healthier life. So thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for supporting me and Vegan Heartland every day. You all mean the world to me!
Lastly, I want to let you all know how important you are. You're changing the world by refusing to accept the way things are - the thing that we all have in common is that we found ourselves knowing something was wrong. Animals deserve so much more respect, love, and compassion than the Human race gives them. So we decided to do something about it. I believe that something so simple as switching to a Vegetarian or Vegan diet truly changes the world. By switching to a vegetarian diet, you save more than 100 animals a year from misery. So thank you.
Bring it on 2012. I'm ready for you! There's so many possibilities that come with a new year. I can't wait to see where this one takes me. So here's to possibilities - and to you! Happy New Year!

5-Minute Vanilla Mug Cake
Finally my 5-Minute Chocolate Cake has a friend! Introducing....the 5-Minute Vanilla Cake in a mug! This is such a great dessert for those who don't have the time and patience to whip up a full-size cake. Or for those who (like me), sometimes don't want a whole cake sitting on their counter. I just don't have the will power to resist a whole cake. Luckily - I can indulge every once and a while on this scrumptious vanilla cake whenever that craving hits!
I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas/Holiday this year. Mine was great! I got some really great presents - including an Immersion blender! Expect some delicious soups and dressings in the future! Keeva loved the presents she got. I'll share some of the photos from my Family's Christmas morning in a new post tomorrow!
*Adapted from this Non-Vegan recipe*
- 6 tbsp all purpose flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp apple sauce
- 1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp non-dairy milk (I used So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk)
- 2 tbsp melted Earth Balance Spread (or your favorite margarine)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon directly in your mug. Add in the applesauce, vinegar, non-dairy milk, Earth Balance, and vanilla. Stir until the dry and wet well combined.
Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes. I like to let mine cool for a couple of minutes before eating!

Christmas Cut-Out Sugar Cookies
Just in time for Christmas - my family's recipe for Christmas Cut-Out Sugar Cookies! I'm sorry I didn't get this recipe up sooner, but I've been so busy with all of my Holiday shopping, baking, and parties I've gone to. I got all of my presents wrapped last night and now they're sitting underneath the tree. I can't wait to give Keeva her presents tomorrow! I know she's going to love them! I'll be posting pictures of Christmas morning over on my Facebook page. Be sure to check those out!
Does anybody else feel that all bets are off when Christmas time rolls around? I tend to not eat anything with artificial colors or flavors during the rest of the year, but when it comes time to make Christmas cookies - I find myself reaching for the food coloring and neon red and green sprinkles. I guess I'm allowed to indulge once and a while, right?
These cookies are scrumptious. The dough rolls perfectly after being chilled for a little bit. When they bake up - they're perfectly browned at the edges. Not too soft or crunchy! They're just right! Plus, they're really fun to make with your kids - especially if they're a treat for Santa! I used Pillsbury's new Easy Frost Vanilla Dream Frosting. It comes in a can with a piping tip attached! It's perfect for decorating cookies, cakes, and cupcakes! It does have artificial ingredients in it - so if that's not your thing - try topping the cookies with my delicious Buttercream Frosting!
Happy Holidays everybody!
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 4 tsp non-dairy milk (I used So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk)
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Frosting and Sprinkles for decoration
Thoroughly cream the shortening, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add in the applesauce and beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the non-dairy milk.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend in with the creamed mixture.
Chill the dough for 1 hour. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. After the dough has been chilled, roll out on a floured surface and cut into your favorite holiday shapes. Place the shapes on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 6-8 minutes until the edges become golden brown. Top with frosting and sprinkles. They're even delicious without the decorations!

Coconut Milk Whipped Cream
I hope everyone is surviving these pre-holiday shopping days! 4 more days until Christmas and I'm not even done buying all of my gifts yet! Luckily I have a three day weekend - so hopefully I can get everything done! Does anyone spoil their pets as much as I do? My Mom, my Dad, my sister, my brother, pretty much everyone else I bought presents for - get 1 thing. Keeva - gets 4 presents. I can't help myself sometimes! Every time I've been out shopping for Christmas presents this year when I see something cute for her, I have to get it! I'll have to share Christmas morning pictures with you guys! I always get some good ones of Keeva opening her presents! Anyways - let's get to the recipe!
|Keeva last Christmas enjoying one of her Christmas presents - Yummy Treats!
I figured out I could make whipped cream out of coconut milk about a year ago. I had used some coconut milk in a recipe and refrigerated the leftovers. When I went to use the next day, I found out that it had thickened and became the consistency of whipped cream! So I've been doing it this way ever since! I made it this year for Thanksgiving and brought it over to my Grandparent's house. My Mom and Grandpa both tried and said they loved it! My Mom even preferred it over the Cool Whip she had on top of her Pumpkin Pie! It's so simple and easy - you'll have no trouble at all making your own homemade coconut milk whipped cream!
P.S. - Sorry about the crappy picture of the whipped cream! I'm making some again tomorrow and I promise I'll take another one that's way prettier!
- 2 cans of 14oz FULL FAT Coconut Milk
- 1/4-1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Refrigerate the two cans of coconut milk overnight. When you're ready to make the whipped cream - remove from the refrigerator carefully. Don't shake the can. Refrigerating the coconut milk separates the thick, creamy party from the liquid. Open the can and scoop out the thick layer on top into a bowl - leaving the watery liquid behind.
Whip on high for about 5 minutes, incorporating as much air as possible into the whipped cream. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whip for 1-2 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Mobile App Review: Serve by American Express + a chance to win $100!
I was chosen by Foodbuzz, the company that does the advertising on my site, to try out this really great app called Serve by American Express. Serve was born out of the idea that it should be easier for people to pay people. Whether you're splitting a lunch bill, placing an order with a small business, or paying the babysitter, you may be stuck using cash or other high-fee, less secure payment methods. They decided to take the cash and cards in your wallet and make them virtual! So it was my job to go out to eat with a group of family or friends and use Serve as our way of splitting the bill. My Mom, Sister, and I decided it was also a really great opportunity to check out a really great, local, Vegan restaurant here in Minnesota. We decided to head on over to Pizza Luce in St. Paul for our dinner - armed with our smart phones that had been installed with Serve!
Pizza Luce offers delicious options for vegans and non-vegans alike - so it was the perfect destination for my me and my family! I wish I would have taken a picture of the menu for you guys, but I was too distracted by all the yummy descriptions on the menu. I'm not used to going out to eat and having so many options! They offer Vegan appetizers, salads, hoagies, pizzas, pasta, and even desserts! I ended up getting the garlic cheese toast for my appetizer - and it was delicious! Is it weird that I knew which Vegan cheese they were using just by the smell? I knew it was Daiya right away - and that my friends, is a good thing.
For my entree, I decided on the "Pizza Athena". It was SO GOOD. Here's the description from the menu: "You don't need to consult some internet oracle to know this little goddess has fresh spinach, tomato, , Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, red onions, Greek oregano and toasted garlic with light mozzarella on Bianca sauce." It was all of that deliciousness - topped with ooey gooey Daiya Mozzarella! I was in Vegan heaven guys. And not only was the food good, the service was amazing! I totally recommend it if you're ever in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area.
So after the meal was over, it was time to split the bill! We all whipped out our smart phones and brought up our Serve accounts. I tried to take a good picture of the Home Page for you - but it was a little dark in the room! To send money all you need to do is log into your serve account, choose the "send money" option, type in the person's e-mail or mobile phone number, enter the amount of money you want to send, and click "send"! It really is that simple! I instantly received the money from my Mom and Sister - so there was no waiting around figuring out how to pay the bill and who was going to pay for what. One of my favorite parts of Serve is that it even has a Pizza Party calculator. You type in the total of the bill, the number of slices of pizza, and the number of people in the party - and it calculates how much everyone should pay! Serve really makes dining out so much easier! If you and your friends all have smart phones - I HIGHLY recommend it.
One of my favorite parts of reviewing this product is that as an added bonus, you guys can comment on this post for a chance to win a $100 credit in your own Serve account!* Even if you don't win the $100 - they give you $10 just for singing up! Here's the contest info:

Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas
I hope everyone is having a great Holiday season so far! I've been so busy with work, baking, cooking, exercising (Yep - still doing P90X), keeping up with Keeva, and keeping up with the blog! I love staying busy though! It's much better than the alternative right? I can't stand being bored!
If you've been following me over on Facebook then you know that I made some delicious bars for a family Christmas party last night. The good news is that everyone loved them. Some even went back for seconds! The problem is that everyone ate them so fast I didn't get a chance to take a picture! So I'm going to bake up another batch tonight and take a picture for you all tomorrow! Meanwhile - I thought I'd share with you one of the meals that I've been having in my P90X meal rotation.
I used to hate Mexican food when I was younger. Well, honestly, I really didn't eat anything other than hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, and grilled cheese. It's a miracle that I survived childhood. But seriously, I was a really picky eater. Luckily as I grew older and eventually became a vegetarian, my taste buds evolved and my meal possibilities expanded! I grew to love Mexican foods (among other foods...) and these enchiladas are one of my favorite meals! I sometimes will have leftover beans and rice, but I just refrigerate them and save them for my next enchilada! Next time, for an extra protein boost, I'm going to try adding seitan! I'll let you guys know how it goes!
- 6 whole wheat or corn tortillas
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 cup cooked or canned black beans
- 3/4 cup corn
- 3/4 cup canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1/2 of a medium onion - finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove - minced
- 1 bottle/can of enchilada sauce (I used Frontera's classic enchilada sauce)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl combine the rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Mix together until well combined. Pour in a little bit of the enchilada sauce and mix with the grains and vegetables until moistened.
Pour some of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of your baking dish until the bottoms is covered. Measure 1/4-1/2 cup of the mixture into each tortilla and roll up. Repeat until all of the enchiladas are filled. Place the filled tortillas in the baking dish and cover with the rest of the enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with some Daiya cheddar or pepper jack if desired!
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through.

5-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
|Seen here drizzled with almond butter!
I have stumbled upon the Holy Grail of desserts. Don't have time to mix and bake a huge chocolate cake? Make a 5-minute cake! Single and don't want an entire cake sitting around your kitchen just waiting to be eaten? Make a 5-Minute, Single Serving cake! The best thing about this dessert for me is not having a bunch of bowls to clean up at the end. One bowl for the dry ingredients, one bowl for the wet ingredients, measuring spoons and cups, spoons and spatulas from mixing, and let's not forget we still have to wash that cake pan once the cake is gone! All of that goes away with the 5-minute cake! When I saw the original recipe here, I knew I had to adapt it to make it Vegan! All you need is a couple of measuring spoons and a mug! It's as simple as that.
I know a lot of people these days are super busy, but still want that home baked taste of a fresh chocolate cake. It may seem a little strange to use a microwave, but I promise you it tastes fresh out of the oven! I can't wait to expirement with different flavors too. Expect a 5-Minute Vanilla Cake in the near future!
- 4 tbsp all purpose flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp applesauce
- 1/8 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp non-dairy milk (I used So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk)
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips
Mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa, and baking powder in a large mug. Once the dry ingredients are mixed add in the applesauce, vinegar, and non-dairy milk. Mix together the dry and wet ingredients - then stir in the chocolate chips. Microwave on High for 3 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before eating!

Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
Another day, another cookie. I think if I was forced to choose my favorite Holiday cookie - these would be it. I don't think it's a secret that I have a love for all things peanut butter and chocolate (see here, here, here, and here...), so when I was deciding on my list of cookies to make for my Christmas Cookie Party - these were on the top of the list! These were always a childhood favorite of mine. Every Christmas when I would go over to my Grandparents house, the air would be filled with freshly baked Christmas cookies and I knew I could always find a plate of my Grandma's Peanut Butter Blossoms.
When I went Vegan though, my days of eating Peanut Butter Blossoms were done. Or so I thought! When I was chosen by Foodbuzz to throw a Christmas Cookie Party - I went digging through my Grandma's recipes and stumbled upon this childhood favorite. I knew I couldn't use Hershey's kisses - so I had to improvise. It may look and sound a little daunting to make your own chocolate kisses, but it's actually really simple! If you're a peanut butter and chocoholic like me - you're gonna love this cookie!
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (I used Earth Balance Creamy Peanut Butter)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 cup applesauce
- 1 tbsp non-dairy milk (I used So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- a small bowl of sugar to roll the dough in
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Cream together the shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, sugar and applesauce. Add non-dairy milk and vanilla and beat well.
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the wet ingredients. Beat on low speed until well combined.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll in the small bowl of sugar. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. I used parchment paper on my cookies sheets to ensure that they didn't stick. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately top with your homemade chocolate kisses. Cool on wire racks before serving.
I made my chocolate kisses by using one of my favorite kitchen tools - my dessert decorator. It's basically just a fancy tool I use instead of using a piping bag. I usually use it to frost my cakes and cupcakes, but it works really well here. Just fill with melted chocolate and pipe your kisses onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Be sure to give your kisses that classic swirl on the top (or at least try like I did!). Refrigerate while the cookies are baking to ensure they set well.
This recipe also makes a really delicious plain peanut butter cookie. Just make the balls of dough a little bit larger and press down on them slightly before baking. Follow the rest of the directions exactly.
And the Winners of the So Delicious Giveaway Are....

Peanut Butter Reindeer Cookies
Happy December everyone! Can you believe it's almost 2012 already - and Christmas is right around the corner?! I had some of my friends and family over to my house for a Christmas cookie party where I served a few of my favorite Holiday goodies! If you missed the post (that includes a recipe for my Great Grandma's Melt-In-Your-Mouth Sugar Cookies!) you can read it here! I have to admit this wasn't my idea! I saw a picture of these little guys on pinterest and I knew instantly I had to make them!
They loved all the cookies I made, but this one was hands down one of the favorites! It takes a little time and effort, but it's worth it! Your friends and family will love these cookies and will see the love in all the little details!
*Makes 18-24 cookies (depending on the size you make them)*
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (I used Earth Balance Peanut Butter)
- 1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 3 tbsp non-dairy milk (I used So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Chocolate Covered Pretzels (directions below)
- Chocolate Chips (for the eyes)
- Red Sprinkles (for the nose)
Making Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Set up a double boiler on your stove-top by filling a large pot with water and setting a glass bowl on top. Turn your burner onto medium-high and pour a 11.5 oz bag of chocolate chips into the glass bowl. Stir consistently until the steam from the boiling water melts the chocolate.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper with cooking oil. Throw a few small or mini pretzels into the melted chocolate and cover them with the chocolate. Lift them out with a fork and gently tap them on the side of the glass bowl (over the chocolate...) to shake of the excess chocolate. Place them on the parchment paper to cool. Once you've done all of the pretzels you'll need (you'll need about 48...if you have extra they make a yummy snack!) place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator to cool completely.
To make the nose - I used my really cool dessert decorator to pipe out small little balls of melted chocolate (use the same chocolate you used for the pretzels) onto a parchment greased, parchment paper lined cookie sheet. You could easily do the same thing with a small 1/4 tsp. Once you've created enough chocolate noses, shake some red sugar sprinkles on top to make that classic Rudolph nose! Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator to cool completely.

Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator to cool completely.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Beat peanut butter, brown sugar, shortening, non-dairy milk, vanilla, and applesauce in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended.
In a separate, medium sized bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet ingredients at low speed. Mix until the dough is just blended.
Form the dough into one inch balls. To make reindeer-shaped cookies, pinch the bottom of the ball slightly to form a small point, then gently flatten with your hand. Space cookies about 2 inches apart on a greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for 7 to 8 minutes until the cookies begin to brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately (and gently) press two chocolate-covered pretzels into the tops of the cookies for the reindeer's antlers. Press two chocolate chips upside down (pointy top going inwards so the flat part of the chocolate chip is showing) in for the eyes and one chocolate oval that you've made for the nose!
Allow to cool for 2 minutes before picking up or serving!

Vintage Banana RepublicMarch 4th, 2013
Going through my wall of file organizers, I came across a section labeled "Banana Republic" and remembered: my stash of 1980′s vintage Banana Republic catalog.
For you younger readers, Banana Republic started off as a catalog business that featured clothing and accessories inspired by global journeys around the world. This included Egyptian Cotton twill travelers sport coats, Amazon rainforest duffel bags and sweatshirts and sweatpants made in Italy that produced the same workout gear for Italian athletes. Oh, how I miss this authentic and quirky side of Banana Republic…
Now, I didn't say the looks were timeless… but it is fun to peek inside.
I would totally wear this jacket. Kinda reminds me of the old J. Peterman days, right?
The catalog even just tells stories, like a book….
I totally worse these shirts and would today….
And who else remembers the Jeep car smashing through the front window of the original Banana Republic stores?

Where do I get LVN malpractice insurance?
- 0Apr 10, '06 by MimismomRNHey guys, I am a new LVN Grad starting my first job in med/surg at my local hospital this week. I need information on Malpractice insurance. I live in California. I thought information would come with my license but it did not. Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks and God Bless you all.
- 0Apr 12, '06 by pickledpepperRNi've had the same company since i was an lvn:
- 0Feb 7, '07 by SardI know this is a question that's about a year old, but your insurance might be coming due again soon so I thought I'd throw this out there:
NSO quoted me $300 a year for full-time LPN/LVN.
HPSO quoted me $98 for the same coverage!
I live in Colorado, so your mileage may vary depending on your location.
- 0Feb 7, '07 by baylayThis might be a dumb question, but I'm a newby.
I'm 2 wks out from taking the NCLEX. From what I heard from some of the instructors, we don't need additional malpractice insurance because you get it at your place of employment (hospital)? Do we need additional or do not all hospitals offer this?
Thanks for hopefully clearing up this question.
- 0Feb 7, '07 by sirI, MSN, APRN, NP Adminhello, baylay,
read through these threads:
carrying my own malpractice insurance?
liability/malpractice insurance?
malpractice insurance?
reasons why to carry malpractice insurance:
overdose of magnesium sulfate kills 18 mom in labor
if your license is disciplined
reinstated license after suspension
falsely accused of a hipaa violation
- 0Feb 7, '07 by sirI, MSN, APRN, NP AdminYou are quite welcome, baylay. It is always good to read other viewpoints - make an informed decision!!
- 1Feb 7, '07 by caliotter3For Baylay: In my opinion, your instructor is putting out "bad" information when she/he states that you can rely on your employer providing you with coverage that is sufficient in case of a claim. From personal experience, my employer "covered" me in a case and provided legal representation, however, during the initial meeting that we had with the attorneys we were asked if we had our own insurance, instructed that between the employer and our insurance we should be sufficiently covered, and also told that there was a possibility that the legal representation would be withdrawn by the employer if circumstances warranted. Now where would I and the other nurses involved have been if we got dropped in the middle of the lawsuit? If you do any research at all on the subject of medical lawsuits and the need for insurance you will find that it is recommended that each individual carry their own insurance. I have been covered by NSO since nrsg school. I don't sell insurance but I can tell you from experience that you need your own insurance. It is your license, your livelihood, your assets (if you ever get any), that you are protecting. Well worth $98/yr.
- 0Feb 8, '07 by NurseXtineI have NSO and they charge only 85 a year i believe. well for me they did.
- 0Feb 8, '07 by SuesquatchRNHey, thanks for this thread! I just linked to NSO.COM (and they had "link from allnurses.com in the drop-down box!) and paid $45 a year for the maximum coverage - $1mm - 6mm.

It's just a little bit of calculus. In fact, its really just partial derivatives and polynomial integration. That's high school math.
So in other words it's not as fun as building gun turrets? I imagine that is precisely the point.
There's this ad on TV for some crap car, where two engineery folks are sitting in a lab watching a robot playing the piano. And I was all "FUCK YEAH! THAT ROBOT IS LEARNING BY ITSELF! THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!".
But then it was all "Advanced engineering can be boring" and switched to the car, and said "OR NOT" or something.
And I was all "THAT TECHNOLOGY STAGNATED AGES AGO RAAAAAAAGE"
It took me a while to understand your reply,
but yeah, I feel ya.
If anyone seriously thought Engineering was going to be anything like TF2, they're a fucking retard.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Fouche, Ilse email@example.com URN etd-07212010-194445 Document Title Improving the academic literacy levels of first-year Natural Sciences students by means of an academic literacy intervention Degree Master of Arts Department Afrikaans Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr H G Butler Supervisor Keywords
- English for science and technology
- language support
- English for specific purposes
- tertiary education
- authentic materials
- academic literacy
- collaborate
- writing course
- undergraduate reading and writing
- open and distance learning
Date 2010-04-22 Availability unrestricted Abstract
Over the past years, there has been a consistent call from Government and industry for South African tertiary institutions to deliver more graduates in the fields of science and technology. This, however, is no mean feat for universities, as the pool of prospective candidates delivers very few students with the necessary academic literacy abilities, and very few students who passed mathematics and science at the right levels to succeed in science higher education. This puts tertiary institutions under mounting pressure to accept students who are under-prepared and to support these students appropriately.
The plight of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) institutions like the University of South Africa (UNISA) is even more desperate, as they are often left with those students who are either unable to gain entrance into, or to afford the study fees of, residential universities. These students are often in greater need for face-to-face interaction than are their counterparts at residential universities, yet they generally receive very little of this.
The intervention examined and critiqued in this study is an attempt at raising the academic literacy levels of first-year students at UNISA in the fields of science and technology by means of a 60-hour face-to-face workshop programme. As its foundation, it uses the principles of collaborative learning and authentic material design. It also treats academic literacy abilities as interdependent and holistic.
This study starts with a broad overview of the context. This is followed by a review of the literature. This review focuses on concepts such as collaborative learning, academic literacy, English for academic purposes, English for specific purposes and English for science and technology. Thereafter, a needs analysis is done in which students' Test for Academic Literacy Levels (TALL) pre-test results, as well as a sample of their assignments, are examined. In addition, the workshops in this intervention programme are analysed individually. To determine the effectiveness of the academic literacy intervention, students' pre- and post-TALL results are scrutinised, and a feedback questionnaire filled in at the end of the year is analysed. Subsequently, recommendations are made as to how the workshop programme could be improved.
Findings show that the academic literacy intervention did improve students' academic literacy levels significantly, though the improvement is not enough to elevate students from being considered at-risk. However, with fine-tuning the existing programme, the possibility exists that students' academic literacy levels might be further improved. This calls for a careful examination of the areas in which students' performance did not improve significantly.
Student feedback indicated a positive attitude towards the entire intervention programme, as well as a marked preference for collaborative learning and face-to-face interaction. In the redevelopment of the current workshop programme, such preferences would have to receive attention, so as to integrate students' wants, together with what they lack and what they need, in subsequent interventions.
In conclusion, the limitations of this study are discussed, and recommendations are made for future research, as the current study must be seen as only the beginning of a process of action research that could lead to a sustainable intervention programme in future.

Feingold diet
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 04-21-2008 - 6:29pm
I've really enjoyed reading everyone's posts! I am the Mom of two awesome kiddos, both with ADHD. Our boys (1st and 2nd grade) were adopted as toddlers and have a multitude of issues such as separation anxiety disorder, oppositional defiant disorder and visual motor delays. Both boys are on concerta and risperdal which has done wonders for their school performance, social skills and our quality of life as a family. However we still have a long way to go and recently a friend gave me a book "Nutrition and Attention Deficiet Disorder"
|Mon, 04-21-2008 - 9:22pm
HI, and welcome.
We have done the Feingold diet for years, it does work IMO, but it is hard in the beginning. We have also eliminated gluten, cassein, and we try to only eat foods that are in their natural state, meaning, if it doesn't look like an apple at the store, we aren't buying it. The only hard thing in the beginning is the large amount of things that are eliminated, but do eventually get added back over time.
The entire family has to be on the "diet" for it to work. It basically eliminates :
Artificial (synthetic) coloring
Artificial (synthetic) flavoring
Aspartame (Nutrasweet, an artificial sweetener)
Artificial (synthetic) preservatives BHA, BHT, TBHQ
Salicylates( oranges, grapes)
It also elinates fragrances,and non food items that contain "harmful ingredients", which is sometimes a trial when your kid HAS to have blue toothpaste, but it is doable.
You can check out their website, and also purchase the program at www.feingold.org

Thanks so much for your response, and I totally agree that the whole family needs to be on the diet for it to work. I wouldn't ask my kids to do something like this that I wouldn't do itself. DH and I have been working on healthy eating and weight loss so this can only help. :) Do you do the diet alone or combine it with meds?

When did you decide everyone would catch up to Ellen May at the church?
Pretty early on in the breaking of 12. It all just sort of seemed to come back to that. We wanted to involve Cassie, we wanted to involve the notion of confession, we wanted Ellen May to get to a more accepting place with her faith in the universe. It felt like Boyd vs. Preacher Billy, the dear Joe Mazzello, was sort of an original sin for this season. It also helps carry on the sin of killing Delroy in the previous year. So it all seemed to feel like it happened there. And something that we're proud of is Ellen May talking about being washed in his blood, and she says, "In Jesus' blood, I mean, not the man I was party to killin'." We all thought that was a pretty funny moment.
I loved how calm Abby Miller played Ellen May's confrontation with Ava.
Gwyneth Horder-Payton did a great job directing the episode, she always brings a reality to it. And then also Taylor and Leonard. And the actors as well. There was a lot of debate about that scene, how it would play, what Ava's attitude was, when does Colt come in, what's Colt's attitude — there was a lot of back and forth, a lot of discussion. Probably more discussion on that one scene than anything else in the episode, and probably more than most things in the season.
It's interesting that Ava hears Ellen May in the process of confessing to Cassie, though she doesn't mention her name, and still, she can't shoot her.
We always knew that Ava wouldn't do that, that when it came right down to it, that's not who Ava is. That's a simple line, she'll go so far but no farther than that. That's another case where you back a character into a corner and you find out who they really are.
Ava had a gun, so she could have put it on Gutterson when he arrived and helped Colt hold him until Boyd showed up.
She would've been killed by a Marshal. I think she understands when the law comes in, everything changes. You'll notice that she just sort of drifts away. If she were caught there by Gutterson with a gun, then she's getting arrested. That little bit of math is something we have to do a lot. Make sure that Boyd doesn't have a gun in this scene, otherwise he's going away. Make sure that Ava doesn't or that she doesn't get caught. That's a little of the fancy footwork we have to do.
Colt's smoking break before his final showdown with Gutterson was a nice callback to when he killed Gutterson's friend Mark.
A couple of weeks before we were headed into that episode, that whole exchange was pitched out by Ron Eldard. He had this idea for that scene. He knew that the scene with Mark was pretty strong, and he just liked the idea of this last cigarette and that he realized this was as far as he was gonna go. That's a classic Western kind of thing, he knows it's his last enjoyment of a moment of life.
I was expecting Colt to raise his gun at Ellen May, trying to at least get that job done, but it looked like he was trying to fire at Gutterson.
Yeah, there were versions where he pulled on her. This felt like the most resonant, the best version of a final confrontation with Gutterson. In episode 9, we had the confrontation between them at the church, and so we felt like it should end up back there.
And Gutterson took Colt's sunglasses.
It was something that they came up with, and we left in. I was unsure about it, but if they've got a passion for it, let's do it. Those sunglasses were something that Colt always wore outside. We needed him not to wear them in the church, because we needed to see his eyes in the final scene, but they were kind of identified with him. It's something that both these veterans would understand and that goes back to WWII and long before that, which is the taking of a souvenir, a memento.
Cassie told Gutterson she'd hoped his bullet would find Boyd. Have we seen the last of her?
We have not seen the last of Cassie. We will see Cassie one more time.
Now we get back to Boyd and Ava — I loved the way he told her that he respected the way she handled the Ellen May situation on every level.
We shot that earlier in the episode [Laughs] so we hadn't exactly landed on what Ava was going to do in the church confrontation scene, but we knew that she wasn't going to kill Ellen May. It's the bookend to when Boyd finds out that Ava killed Delroy, which is things are now not looking good in terms of the Delroy story, the aftermath, and he still supports her today, because he understands who she is and that's one of the reasons he loves her: He doesn't want to marry Lady Macbeth.
And then another sweet moment was when Raylan told Ellen May that Shelby was still looking out for her as he prepared to drive her to Lexington.
That was scripted. It was just that great bit of Jimmy calling him a dick, and he is so often to these people a real dick, and he is kind of a dick to her in the first two-thirds or three-quarters of that scene, and then he softens it up at the end with that.
The way Ellen May hugged Shelby, it made me worry about them for the finale.
I wouldn't worry so much. The finale's not about them. I hate doing this, but I'm gonna give you this one thing: That is the end of the Shelby-Ellen May story. It's not the end of the ramifications of the Shelby story and the ramifications of the Ellen May story, but it is the end of their arc together.
I can't believe they get a happy ending!
I mean, he's going off into WitSec and she's going to be protected for a while, that's set up early on in the finale. They're not going off to Mexico, so it's not a complete happy ending.

While the teaser site for the T-Mobile G2 has been up for quite some time now, HTC, the company actually manufacturing the device, have been quite reticent about its specifications and what's driving that stock Froyo goodness. Of course, we've known of its MSM7230 and various other details for a couple of weeks, but it's nice to see the official specs solidified on HTC's website. There are no surprises contained within, but something about the confirmation of what was once nebulous rumour can't help but bring a warming pulse to every Android's circuitry.

10 Happy Kitchens
It's often the center of household activity so why not make it bright, cheerful, and fun?
Doing the kitchen in a Mexican hacienda in one color tile breaks with the Mexican tradition of "having a riot of colors," designer John Houshmand says. And doing it in yellow seems "totally American. It's a pretty darn happy place to be." He spent a year looking for the right color of glazed tiles and found a local factory to make them for him. "A space that big, in that yellow, with such a great view, makes it a great place to eat, drink, and be merry," Houshmand says.

i'm truly amazed how well it works
lol... i should have tried this sooner...
i just tried bs washing last night and now i know that great clean feel you guys been talking about. it works great.
@Lexi -- It's great to hear you're trying baking soda and vinegar rinses. Be sure to use either apple cider vinegar (ACV) or white vinegar as opposed to balsamic vinegar and remember you're NOT rinsing with them both at them same time (you'll end up with a fun, fizzy science project reaction). I always do a baking soda rinse first, rinse it all out, and THEN follow it up with the ACV rinse. Here's a recipe I've used for my dreads as well as busting smells and build-up from my friends' locks, too:
Build-up and smells have never been an issue for me, but I love doing them every few months to have a refreshing treat. Now as for the lavender and other essential oils (like orange, vanilla, mint, etc.), it's always been trial-and-error. Sometimes I like to use a little more -- sometimes less. I started out with a few drops at first to see how it settled into my dreads...then added a bit more. I've found that little often goes a long way. Experiment and do shop around (even a little online research never hurts). I'm not sure of which brand you saw at WF or where you live, but you might also find an awesome oil at a small independent shop that sells natural meds and homemade oils, too. Trial-and-error, kiddo. What works for someone else might not always work for you and vice versa. Always be conscious of ingredients and ALWAYS, ALWAYS test your skin and scalp first to make sure you're not allergic. Good luck and have fun -- let us know how it goes x0x
Just made my first bs wash. Only thing i had to buy was tea tree oil for $10 at target. Started with some baking soda from the kitchen, and half the bottle of tea tree oil. Then went to my herb garden and blended in fresh aloe vera, rosemary, mint, and basil. I added about 1 lt. of water and blended it all as much as possible. after letting it sit for a few min. the mixture separated, i filtered out the chunks through a paper towel (wiped my face with the freshly saturated paper towel, made my skin feel fresh and the mint gave me a little energy boost). I poured the liquid into a spray bottle, and its ready to go. I made enough to wash my brothers and my hair about 4 times each. Only thing im worried about is the shelf life of the wash. Should i do anything special for storage? I was planning on using once a week for a month. After the first use i have to say it was the best shower i've ever taken! my hair feels and smells great!
