Southwest Iowa Has Lots to do in the Great Outdoors
Posted: 10/24/2013
RIVERTON, Iowa - October is probably the best opportunity to get caught in a traffic jam at Riverton.
The southwest Iowa community of 300 – plus or minus – is a top stop over for thousands of migrating birds and is one of Iowa's premier waterfowl hunting destinations, drawing hunters by the hundreds.
The Riverton Wildlife Management Area butts up to the west side of town and covers nearly 4,000 acres of prime marshland and upland.
"We see about every species of waterfowl migrating through Riverton," said John Ross, wildlife technician for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' Nishnabotna Unit. The spring migration is a great time to see large numbers of shorebirds taking advantage of Riverton's exposed mudflats.
The Riverton Area in central Fremont County is a few miles east of the wildly popular Waubonsie State Park that fills each October weekend with campers coming for the fall colors. In the spring, the focus shifts from the tree tops to the forest floor with mushroom hunters combing the park for highly prized fungi.
But for now, the fall colors are in full display and the old growth trees in the park put on quite a show, drawing leaf peepers from Nebraska, Missouri and all across Iowa.
Waubonsie caters to equestrians and non-equestrians who head to this rugged landscape in the Loess Hills to enjoy the miles of trails and scenery.
Matt Moles is the technician at the park and handles all the long distance calls about campsite availability, trail and tree color status and serves as the local tour guide.
The trails are extremely popular – north of Hwy. 2 is the equestrian area with eight miles of trails and south of Hwy. 2 is the non-equestrian area with seven miles of hiking trails including the Sunset Ridge trail and its stunning views into Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and even Kansas.
"I think those trails are our greatest resource here," Moles said.
Hunting, hiking and horseback riding are just three of the more than 30 activities listed on the DNR's Healthy & Happy Outdoors campaign that is part of the Healthiest State Initiative to get Iowans active and outside.
Participation is easy. Simply log on at
and create an account, then use the online tools to search for or log each activity. Each logged activity counts as one entry in a monthly drawing for outdoor related prizes.
Waubonsie expanded in 2005 with the acquisition of the Girl Scout Camp Wa-Shawtee and renovated eight cabins into rentals available on the State Parks reservation system.
The cabins are extremely popular in the spring with birders, summer with everyone and the fall and winter with hunters looking for the total outdoor emersion.
Fremont and Mills County to its north, have more than 20,000 acres of public hunting land. The area is a waterfowl destination with Riverton, but hunters can pursue quail, pheasant, deer, turkey, doves, squirrels and more.
"There is a lot of ground to explore with limited access," said Matt Dollison, wildlife biologist with the Iowa DNR's Nishnabotna Unit. "It's a paradise for someone not afraid to hoof it."
One example is St. Mary's Island, about 10 miles south of Council Bluffs, with nearly 2,400 acres of some of the best pheasant hunting in the area. It is not used as much as you'd expect being so close to such a large city.
That's one example. There's Lake Shawtee, Nottleman Island, Auldon Bar, Copeland Bend and more.
"The Corps of Engineers is buying up a lot of land in the Missouri River flood plain as part of their mitigation project," Dollison said. "There is limited access to many of the areas, and once you get there you can have a remote experience."

... lessDuration | 6 Days | Itinerary Type | Land |
Distance | 1081 Kilometres | Itinerary Route | One Way |
Mode of Travel | Bus Car Caravan | Level of Difficulty | Unrated |
Start the Overlander's Way in Townsville where you can spend a few days exploring this fun and vibrant tropical city. Museums, galleries and shopping will keep you busy in the heart of the city where outdoor dining is the perfect way to relax. Experience the laidback lifestyle of the tropics at The Strand, a 2.5 kilometre stretch of inner-city beach and playgrounds.
Magnetic Island, which is home to a colony of koalas, is just a short boat ride away or head out to the Great Barrier Reef to dive and snorkel with colourful fish. Keep your feet dry at Reef HQ Aquarium where you can experience the world's largest coral reef aquarium and visit the Turtle Hospital.
Learn about the HMS Pandora, which sank on the Great Barrier Reef, at the Museum of Tropical Queensland, get close to the local wildlife at Billabong Sanctuary or try fresh regional produce at the Northshore Farmers Market.
Leave the coast for the Outback, calling in at Ravenswood on the way to see magnificent restored buildings and mining remnants such as mullock heaps, old shafts and chimneys stacks. Then continue on to Charters Towers, a beautifully preserved part of North Queensland history.
During the gold rush days of the late 1800s Charters Towers was the second largest town in Queensland with a stock exchange, 65 hotels and 29 crushing mills. The prosperity of the gold era can be seen in the beautifully preserved city centre, known as One Square Mile, where the money made on the Stock Exchange flowed into civic improvements and the flourishing business community.
The stories and legends have been brought to life on the Ghosts of Gold Heritage Trail which explores the four Gs: The discovery of Gold at the foot of Towers Hill; the Grandeur of the historic One Square Mile; Greed at the Stock Exchange Arcade; and the Ghosts hard at work down at the Venus Battery, Queensland's oldest surviving battery.
Queensland's last bushranger was laid to rest at the Charters Towers Cemetery where you will find the graves of a number of notable people including Jupiter Mossman, the Aboriginal boy who helped discover gold at Charters Towers. From the glory days of the late 1800s gold rush, head to Hughenden to step back even further in time to the era of the dinosaurs.
Hughenden is the heart of dinosaur country; in prehistoric times, it sat on the shoreline of a great inland sea. Nearly 3,000 dinosaur and marine fossils have been found in the surrounding countryside. To get a true idea of the beasts that roamed these lands, check out the life-size replica Muttaburrasaurus. This rare find, the first entire dinosaur skeleton found in Australia, catapulted the area into international fame - 'Hughie' as the skeleton was nicknamed, is on display at the Flinders Discovery Centre.
Like Porcupine Gorge, nicknamed as 'Australia's little Grand Canyon' is only 63 kilometres north and Blackbraes National Park with its unique basalt features is around another 90 kilometres north.
At Richmond 112 kilometres down the Overlander's Way you can step back in time 100 million years. Richmond was once under the ancient inland sea and the Kronasaurus Korner Fossil Centre features Australia's best vertebrate fossil exhibit including the Richmond Pliosaur!
After the centre, let 'fossil fever' take hold and unearth prehistoric treasures at the free fossicking sites close to town. The Curator at the fossil centre will be happy to identify your find.
Head on down the track, 145 kilometres over Mitchell grass plains to Julia Creek.
Richmond is known as the fossil capital of Australia with an amazing collection of marine reptile fossils at the award-winning Kronosaurus Korner. The museum is home to Australia's best preserved dinosaur skeleton, Minmi, and the Richmond Pliosaur, one of the world's best skeleton fossils. See the fossil preparation area, then grab a map and fossick at one of the free designated sites.
Situated halfway between Townsville and Mt Isa on the banks of the Flinders River, Richmond is an Outback oasis with bougainvillea-lined streets and beautiful gardens. In the parks you will discover moon rocks, limestone creations varying in size from a golf ball to an enormous rock.
Explore the Bush Tucker Gardens on the banks of Lake Fred Tritton where you will find local native plants labelled with their traditional purposes. The lake has sandy beaches, a boat ramp, free barbecues and a playground, making it an ideal place to relax, swim and fish for barramundi or redclaw.
Richmond's business district of yesteryear can be discovered on the Heritage Walk which includes a replica of an original 1860s homestead. Head further west to Julia Creek for spectacular Outback sunsets and an uninterrupted starry sky.
Julia Creek is where you can meet one of Australia's endangered species, a tiny marsupial called the Julia Creek Dunnart. Digby lives in a specially designed nocturnal viewing area inside At The Creek, the Visitor Information and Interpretive Centre, and can be seen at feeding time.
At The Creek is a multi-award winning centre focusing on the themes of water, country and people. It has been designed as an authentic local landscape with three railway fettler's cottages recycled into buildings for the centre and its display rooms. Learn how the Artesian Bore sustains life in the Outback, have a picnic on the moon rock chairs and tables, or go underground to explore the geological features that shaped the region.
This RV-friendly Outback town swells with an additional 3000 people each April for the Dirt n Dust Festival featuring a triathlon, horse races, bull ride and novelty events like snorkelling in the mud.
Follow the nature trail or take an historical walk through the township. The remains of a World War 2 Directional Finding Installation can be seen near the airport. Discover more history at Cloncurry, the birthplace of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, as you continue the Overlander's Way.
Located on the junction of the Overlander's Way and the Matilda Highway, Cloncurry sits on the Cloncurry River which was named by the explorer Robert O'Hara Burke. See his drink bottle at the Burke and Wills display in the Cloncurry Unearthed Museum at the Cloncurry/Mary Kathleen Memorial Park, where you can learn about the former Mary Kathleen uranium mine.
Visit the original Qantas hangar where the first passenger flew from Longreach to Cloncurry in 1922. Just six years later Reverend John Flynn launched a flying medical service now known as the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Learn how he harnessed the emerging technology of the pedal radio to pioneer outback radio communication when visiting the John Flynn Place Museum and Art Gallery.
This is the heart of cattle country and the annual Cloncurry Stockman's Challenge & Campdraft is where horses and their riders work together in a tribute to the Australian horseman.
Other attractions include the Cloncurry Cemetery with graves dating back to the 1880s, the Court House which was built in 1898 and Chinaman Creek Dam where you can swim, picnic and see the Outback sunset. From Cloncurry, the Overlander's Way winds through the spectacular Selwyn Ranges to Mount Isa.
As the only city in the Australian Outback, Mount Isa offers many activities including the opportunity to experience an underground mine. Descend 22 metres underground to feel the earth move with the firing of the drill face and use mining equipment at the Hard Times Mine.
Built and operated by actual miners, the replica mine is part of Outback at Isa, which also houses an outback park and the Riversleigh Fossil Centre. Join the resident palaeontologist on a lab tour to hear about exciting local finds and see the fossils.
Relax at the largest all abilities playground in Queensland or time your visit to coincide with the annual Xstrata Mount Isa Lake Moondarra Fishing Classic to fish for barra, watch the Dragon Boat Regatta and race yabbies. Call in to the School of the Air, see the World War 2 Underground Hospital, visit the National Trust Tent House, take a surface mine tour and see inside the Bureau of Meteorology.
Next stop is Camooweal, the gateway to the Northern Territory where you can visit the Drovers Camp to learn about the historic droving town or Camooweal Caves National Park which is honeycombed with sink holes dating back 500 million years.
Travel the breadth of Queensland from tropical Townsville to outback Camooweal along the Overlander's Way, following the path of Australia's drovers.
After experiencing the tropical lifestyle of Townsville and the Great Barrier Reef, head for the historic town of Charters Towers and its beautiful streetscape which illustrates the prosperity of the gold rush days.
As you head further into the Outback, you also head further back in time to the era of the dinosaurs. Hughenden is where you can see a life-size replica of the first entire dinosaur skeleton found in Australia and Richmond is home to marine fossils from an ancient inland sea. Admire the moon rocks in the town's parks before heading to Julia Creek to see the endangered dunnart, a tiny marsupial, and learn how the Artesian Bore sustains life in the Outback.
Cloncurry is the birthplace of the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the site of the landing of the first Qantas flight. As the only city in Australia's Outback, Mount Isa will keep you busy for days with the highlight experienced 22 metres underground in a mine.
The last stop is Camooweal, the home of the Drover's Camp and the gateway to the Northern Territory.
Discover world-class fossils on Australia's Dinosaur Trail, an adventure through Queensland's Outback. The journey begins at Longreach where you can visit the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, the Qantas Founders Museum and jump aboard a Cobb and Co. Stage Coach.
Head to Winton to visit The Australian Age of Dinosaurs, the world's largest collection of Australian dinosaur fossils, where you can join a dig team and nearby Lark Quarry to see evidence of a dinosaur stampede.
Despite being 500 kilometres from the ocean, Richmond is where marine fossils have been unearthed from the surrounding rugged landscape and you can see these relics at Kronosauraus Korner.
Next stop is Hughenden where you can take another trip back in time to the age of the dinosaurs at the Flinders Discovery Centre to see a muttaburrasaurus. Watch a light and sound show to learn about the formation of Porcupine Gorge. Trek through the deep Gorge to see the layers of rock formations dating back 500 million years as you explore what is known as Australia's "Little Grand Canyon".
Bid the Outback goodbye as you travel to Townsville to soak up the tropical lifestyle on The Strand, one of Australia's best inner-city beachfronts.

Kit Lee, aka Style Slicker has been featured on this blog many, many times. This is because we love her as much as she loves her MCM bags... I mean how could you resist her wit, her charm and her impeccable style? Add to this a very unique eye for styling, a true talent for photography and you pretty much have the makings of an international style icon. Find out what makes Kit tick and 'What's on her Horizon'...
What's on your mind?
My mind tends to overload with creative ideas through visual thinking or processing, it's tiring and bothersome- imagine the sleepless nights! I'm a firm believer in intuition and gut instinct, the outcome of coincidences may take months or years to become apparent. My discovery of MCM is a great example, I first found out about the brand through my sister 3 summers ago. I remember she brought home this amazing pink studded Boston bag by MCM, a brand I never heard about before. I did some googling out of curiosity, and found out it was a very popular German luxury handbag brand, with a huge popularity across Asia,especially thanks to KPOP celebrities. Right at that point, I fell in love with the brand and the collection. Four months later, by coincidence, I was invited by MCM UK for the Blogger Makeover Shoot and the love story started from there. Thank you Laetitia! (ndlr - you are very welcome Kit!)
Kit at this year's Blogger makeover
Kit playing a practical joke on me at our Summer party :)
What are your hopes / dreams / aspirations?
My hope is to continue to be creative, I've been doing this since I was an infant! My dream is to sail around the world on a small yacht, just me and my electronic essentials. It will happen some day.
What's on your horizon of travel?
I fell in love with South Korea and Korean food when I first visited the country a few years ago, it was a very short visit. I'm determined to go back there one day. Fortunately, my younger brother Ken is currently based between GwangJu and Seoul, he has a food & lifestyle blog covering his adventures in South Korea http://seoulstateofmind.com. I'm obsessed with his visual diaries.
What would be on your horizon if you had a genie in a handbag?
I'm going to sound like a beauty pageant contestant, I wish for World Peace.
Emily from Fashion Foie Gras and Kit at our VIP Blogger lunch in London
What's on your MCM horizon?
I absolutely adore the Craig & Karl collection, the pouch or the brief case are firmly on my wish list... They look so fun! I also love the Nuovo and First Lady collections so I would go for the Nuovo Croc and First Lady mini cross body.
Kit's 2012 Blogger Makeover
What would be on your horizon if you could have/be/do anything?
Wow this is a tough question. If I could, I would love to revive my childhood dream of becoming an Olympian Athlete even just for a day, and perhaps experience holding a gold medal.
So... Is falling in love with Kit on your horizon yet?

I am rarely rendered speechless, but I certainly was last night. The Giants and Rockies hit like there was no tomorrow, with a final score of 17-8, and the Giants also made cringe-worthy errors like there was no tomorrow. Not quite sure why you would make cringe-worthy errors if there was no tomorrow, but I obviously do not fully understand the psyche of the Giants just yet.
The game started out disastrously, then looked miraculously wonderful, and then became disastrous all over again. Despicable Me balloon scene comes to mind. I optimistically hoped that this year, the Giants would not do any handing-balloon-then-popping-balloon, but apparently not. I clutched my very delicious orange tea and sniffled over my radio as pitcher after pitcher got shelled and ERAs rose to serious, undeniable danger zone.
Besides all of that, there is Buster Posey's case of shingles, which is the sort of thing that happens during the Dog Days of August, when everything gets weird, but on April 11th? Everyone is supposed to be perky and healthy and, you know, getting wins. Bad luck can't last forever, though, so I'm just choosing to believe that everyone else is peaking early and our trials now will lead to success later.
And, yeah. Be the change you want to see in the world. I am this close to changing my blog name to "Inspirational Quotes Inc.!"
But seriously, if I were going to change my blog name to anything, "Baseball Player's Haircuts 'N Things" would probably more appropriate. Which means, of course, that we need to break down Timmy's haircut.
I like it. It suits his long face shape better (I know I talked about this a long time ago, but I can't seem to find the post at the moment) and changing things up, in a purely non change-up sense, might be just what he needs. Sure, it didn't really at all work yesterday, but these sorts of things can take time. I am from the city with three psychic schools and countless more psychics-for-hire. I know these sorts of things.
As for the baby giraffe in the room – move over, elephant – there's his pitching. There was nothing encouraging about Lincecum's performance, but I was slightly and strangely encouraged by his quotes afterwards. From the SF Chronicle: "I don't think it's a matter of finding answers per se. It's a matter of grinding through it and knowing at some point in the season you're going to have these." This is preferable any day to when Timmy had his Zito phase and went all, "I don't feel like I'm getting tired. I don't feel like anything's broken… I think the key for me is just to get my mental state right and fix what's going on."
The irony here, of course, is that if Timmy got all Zito on us right at this moment, we would all rejoice and confetti might very well appear in the skies of San Francisco. Baseball, you are a very strange game. Love, Emily.
Diamond Girl
p.s. I will now allow myself one, "What's wrong with Timmy?" Okay. Done. Out of my system. Let's move on.

Lame-duck session ends with no pension reform
BY DAVE MCKINNEY AND ZACH BUCHHEIT Staff reporters January 8, 2013 9:20PM
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, left, and Illinois Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Des Plaines, right, shake hands during a House committee hearing at the Illinois State Capitol Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2013, in Springfield Ill. The long-awaited plan to address Illinois' $96 billion pension problem cleared an early hurdle Monday, as the Illinois House committee approved a proposal that freezes cost-of-living increases and calls for higher employee contributions.

Updated: February 10, 2013 6:17PM
SPRINGFIELD — On the last day of the lame-duck legislative session, Gov. Pat Quinn and the Democratic-led Legislature laid a gigantic goose egg Tuesday by failing to deliver a fix to Illinois' paralyzing $95 billion pension crisis.
By the end of the day, the House adjourned without so much as taking a vote on either a plan carried by state Rep. Elaine Nekritz (D-Northbrook) that would have cut retirement benefits for public employees or on a separate, last-ditch alternative by Quinn that one union critic derisively dubbed a "desperate Hail Mary."
Likewise, a Senate-passed plan favored by Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) that would have made retirees choose between forgoing either a cost-of-living boost or state-subsidized health care never saw the light of day in the House.
The anti-climatic end to the 97th General Assembly had even the powerful leader of the House, Speaker Michael J. Madigan (D-Chicago), at a loss for words as he contemplated starting the whole process of pension reform from scratch this spring.
"You know, it's kinda hard to have thoughts, isn't it?" Madigan said as he left the Capitol.
The inertia leaves Illinois open to another potential round of downgrades from Wall Street bond-rating agencies that will increase state borrowing costs. And it means Quinn and lawmakers face the very real possibility of having to put together a budget for next year with the same meat-cleaver approach as in years past.
The day started Tuesday with Quinn demanding that lawmakers vote on a pension plan, though it was soon clear that the Nekritz plan was mortally wounded and far short of votes in the House.
Opposed by public-employee unions, her pension plan was built around a six-year freeze on cost-of-living adjustments for retired state workers and Downstate and suburban teachers. But it never seemed to top roughly 45 votes in the House, where 60 votes are needed to pass a bill.
Quinn then floated a new idea to establish an eight-member commission that would have the power to impose binding benefit cuts on retired state workers and Downstate and suburban teachers that only the Legislature could undo.
While the governor took the unusual step of presenting his plan to the House Personnel & Pensions Committee and got the panel's 7-2 blessing, the No. 2 House Democrat, Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie (D-Chicago), called Quinn's approach unconstitutional and unions lined up in unison against it.
"I'd characterize this as a desperate Hail Mary pass," said Michael Carrigan, president of the Illinois AFL-CIO.
Once on the House floor, the governor's plan appeared to have less support than the Nekritz proposal,with one key House Democrat saying it potentially would havee had as many as 100 of the 118 House members against it if it had been put up for a vote.
Madigan adjourned the House with no action on either pension plan, triggering finger-pointing throughout the Capitol.
The top Senate Republican questioned whether he or Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) had any serious intent in passing pension reform.
"The problem is the Democrat majorities do not agree on pension reform, and frankly, I'm not sure they want it," said Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno (R-Lemont).
"I think Madigan and Cullerton don't agree on a framework, and that's a huge problem. And, of course, we have a governor that is unable to bring people together," she said.
Madigan shot back at Radogno: "What about her responsibility? What does she see her role as?"
Cullerton, meanwhile, defended the governor's work on pensions, though in a backhanded fashion.
"I think the guy's done a good job. Now, it's not his strength passing legislation in the General Assembly. You know that. So, he's never really been in the General Assembly," Cullerton said. "But the four leaders have been here. We know how to pass bills."
One ally of Quinn's allies said he "put everything out there on the field today" with his press secretary refusing to take the bait on any suggestion the governor played a role in the inaction.
"Excuses and finger-pointing don't solve the problem," Quinn spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said. "The people of Illinois are paying the price for every day of inaction on pension reform, and we've got a job to do. The governor is clearly disappointed from the inaction, but he won't let it detract from this important issue that must be resolved to put Illinois back on sound financial footing."

Ahh, breakfast. The smell of sizzling bacon alone brings back the Saturday mornings of childhood. And while the meal was ignored for too long by serious restaurants, that's no longer true. Here, our favorite 64 spots for morning eats.
March 2011
- We're not totally convinced that Hot Cakes' health nut pancakes are actually all that nutritious, but we want to believe. These blueberry flapjacks come topped with granola, chopped walnuts, and more blueberries. We look at it this way: With antioxidants in the berries, fiber in the granola, and Omega-3s in the nuts, you're getting a kick of nutrients amidst the goodness. 1400 E. 18th Ave., 303-832-4351, eathotcakes.com
- A frozen yogurt spot for breakfast? You bet. At Kuulture, owner Hidemi Ena's açai bowls attract the morning crowd. There are several combinations—all featuring a smoothie-like blend of organic fruit and açai (a Brazilian super fruit)—but we go back again and again for the kuulture bowl, a combo of açai, strawberry, blueberry, and banana topped with organic hemp granola, banana slices, and agave nectar. Bonus: Every bite is vegan and dairy-free. 1512 Larimer St., 303-573-7200
- We adore Encore's Greek yogurt parfait with pears and chef Paul Reilly's cranberry-pumpkin seed granola. If that's too healthy, add a side of the sagey, house-made sausage patties. 2550 E. Colfax Ave., 303-355-1112, encoreoncolfax.com
- Those looking for a gluten-free indulgence will find one at Centro Latin Kitchen & Refreshment Palace. Here, chef Ian Clark makes decadent chocolate-chip pancakes using a gluten-free mix from Boulder-based Lillabee. You won't be able to tell the difference from the regular pancakes—of course, the caramelized, tequila bananas don't hurt either. 950 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-442-7771, centrolatinkitchen.com
- Order the oatmeal at Cozy Cottage and you'll be rewarded with a hearty bowl of oats long simmered in nondairy substitute (so that the dish is vegan-friendly), honey, and brown sugar. Each serving arrives topped with walnuts and banana slices, so if you finish the dish, you'll be coursing with energy all day long. 4363 Tennyson St., 720-855-9800

I don't make too many sandwiches, but since I had a coupon for a FREE package of Healthy Ones Deli Meats, I had to try them out. The coupon entitled me to up to $3.99 worth of sliced deli products, so I marched right up to that section to make my selection. I vacillated between the turkey and the chicken (I don't really like ham), and finally settled on the Healthy Ones Deli Thin-Sliced Oven Roasted Turkey Breast.
I first examined the package to check out the turkey's health claims. I saw 97% fat free, no fillers, and zero artificial flavors, plus, the brand carries the American Heart Association seal of approval for saturated fat and cholesterol levels. Sounds good to me! I flipped over the package to look at the nutritional stats, and saw that a 4-slice serving (2/5th of the package) provides a wee 60 calories. That also comes with 1.5 grams of fat, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 25 mg of cholesterol (8% of the RDA), 440 mg of sodium (18% of the RDA), and 10 grams of protein. That's a little high in the sodium department, but this is deli meat, after all.
As for taste, this turkey is great. The pieces are thick and meaty, and they taste really fresh. Like any deli meat, it's on the saltier side (witness the sodium content), but makes for a tasty sandwich. I actually wound up eating most of the turkey plain, too! If you need sandwich ideas (and other recipes), check out the Healthy Ones website. What are some of your favorite sandwich ingredients? (From Tanya: Ketchup is a MUST for me, seconded by lettuce & bell peppers).
The ingredients in Healthy Ones Oven Roasted Turkey Breast are as follows: turkey breast, water, and 2% or less of sugar, salt, natural flavoring, sodium phosphate, sodium diacetate, sodium nitrate, potassium lactate, sodium erythorbate, and caramel color. Those last few ingredients are on the unpronounceable end of the spectrum, but I imagine they're there as preservatives.
The price of this stuff is pretty good, and the taste is great, so I would definitely buy this again. Seems Mark over at Hangry Pants agrees too.
I ate this stuff - Turkey and Ham - all week for 2 weeks. Sandwiches, straight out of the package, pan friend for egg breakfast sandwiches, with cheese, without cheese. You name it. It tastes good and according to the FDA it's healthy for me.

50s great sweat white
by OUR LEGACY
Our Legacy- established in 2005 in Sweden, began as a small t-shirt collection and developed into a full menswear collection by Spring/Summer 2008. Seeking to encapsulate a lifestyle rather than just a style, the brand draws inspiration from 1950's expressionist authors and artists who exemplify the perfect well dressed, yet relaxed look. The garments are designed to become a part of the wearer's travels and experiences and through great craftsmanship, withstand the test of time taking on character elements becoming more personal with wear. The style is overall minimal and utilitarian with a hint of prep, but with a focus on fabric and fit, the craftsmanship and uncompromising design stand out in their own right.

cashmere reverse seam sweater
by STEVEN ALAN
Having spent the past 20 years creating a mini fashion world grounded in classic American roots - fashioned with a twist - Steven Alan has quietly emerged an uncommon fashion pioneer. Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. In 1999, Steven launched his first men's collection, including his now signature Reverse Seam Shirt, followed by a women's collection soon after. The collections build upon the same curatorial point of view using authentic fabrics and precise tailoring along with thoughtful details- resulting in easily wearable, refined casual looks.

How this renowned designer conquered the world of fashion, from the Midwest and beyond.
Interviewing fashion designer Pamella DeVos provided not only a peak into fashion's many aspects, but also her townhouse in Chicago's River North neighborhood. The décor is modern, with black, gray and white throughout. From the circular artwork to the stark furniture, there's a warm, personal touch. "I had the walls in my guest bathroom lined with wallpaper imprinted with dress designs I'd created early in my career," she reveals.
Born in the Midwest, Ms. DeVos' roots are deep. "I love Chicago. It's my favorite city," she says. While her work requires monthly trips to New York, Ms. DeVos still calls the Midwest home. A mother of three and married over 30 years, life is beautiful for this talented woman, who looks back on 10 years of success in the fashion world.
Do you spend much time in New York and Chicago? I mainly live in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but also have homes in New York City and Chicago. If you want to be a serious designer, you have to be in New York. I spend a lot of time there, especially for the fashion shows in August and September. Also, being on the Board of the Whitney Museum keeps me busy there. However, my eldest daughter lives in Chicago, so I bought a home here. I'd live in Chicago full-time in a heartbeat. When my son graduates from high school we'll spend more time here. My husband and I walk to Japonais all the time. I also love RL – it reminds me of the ladies from the Women's Board at the Joffrey Ballet.
Speaking of the Joffrey Women's Board, what inspired you to join? Three years ago, Candace Jordan and Helen Melchior, members of the Joffrey Women's Board, invited me to participate in the first annual "Couture and Cocktails" event. We stayed friends and they asked me to join the board. Being from Michigan and having way too many things to do made me think twice. However, I love ballet. I took it when I was younger, and my youngest daughter danced for the Grand Rapids ballet while I served on the board. I wanted a connection to Chicago, so I said yes.
Prior to launching your eponymous apparel line, you received a business degree from Michigan State University and worked in marketing and public relations for 10 years. How long did it take to transition from business to fashion? I married when I was 22, and we waited five years to have kids. My husband traveled around world for business when he worked for Amway, and we lived in Tokyo for a short time. Years later, after moving back to the states, he decided to start his own business. I asked myself, 'What do I want to do?' When I was younger, I worked for a clothing store for seven years. Loved it! But how can you be a fashion designer in Grand Rapids with three young kids? It wouldn't work. In my 40s, I decided to get back to fashion and started the business with a partner – he wasn't with me very long. The transition to fashion was natural.
How long did it take to launch your first collection? I was researching the fashion business in New York when 9/11 occurred. I was there with a designer for Fashion Week. There were no taxis on the streets and there was debris in the air. I just kept walking. When my friend left town, I spent a couple nights alone and didn't know anyone. It was pretty frightening. But I made a decision to go ahead with my plans, and we had a small opening in February 2002. We dipped our toes in to see if there was any interest. At our first show, Neiman Marcus picked us up, which was remarkable. My collection is also carried at Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and Bergdorf Goodman.
Name a designer whose style you admire. My favorite is Yves Saint Laurent. I loved his style – the tuxedo look. We do a tuxedo every fall.
Did you have a mentor in fashion? No mentor in the fashion business, but my father encouraged me and gave me the drive. It's why I have a business degree. Some people spend all the money and don't look at the numbers. They don't see how difficult the business is. Very few become millionaires overnight; most don't make it.
How did you build your brand to what it is today? It took lots of hard work and long hours. If I'd had 100 percent concentration over the years, I'd be more successful. My husband is involved in his own business, and I had three children to raise. In the beginning, my husband wasn't thrilled that he became 'Mr. Mom.' I handled everything from afar and it wasn't easy. But even with my business, my family always comes first.
Do you manage both the creative and business side? I run the creative side along with two male designers. I have someone to help with the numbers and the business side.
You have clientele in Bahrain, Lebanon, Qatar and Mexico, to name a few. What other countries would you target? My first choice in Asia is Hong Kong. If you go there, you have to have a name. We're also working on a store in London. We do very well in the Middle East. Buyers come in and say, 'I like this, but can you add some beading?' They choose flashy colors, so I always know what items are being shipped to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Name three things that make a woman's wardrobe more versatile. A little black dress, a trendy neutral shoe and a great piece of jewelry – a conversation piece.

WHEN I BEGAN MY CAREER IN PUBLIC HEALTH in the 1960s, poliomyelitis was one of the most feared diseases in the world. Even just 25 years ago the virus infected more than 350,000 people, causing paralysis and irreversible disfigurement.
Thanks to vaccines and a tremendous international effort, today that number is down to just a few hundred cases globally. Still, for every person who shows the characteristic signs and symptoms of polio, 100 or more individuals carry the virus and can spread the disease without their knowledge. And the areas where polio remains are among the most remote and unstable corners of the planet. The road before us isn't easy, but we cannot rest until polio is truly and completely wiped out for good.
Aristotle thought the Earth had existed eternally. Roman poet Lucretius, intellectual heir to the Greek atomists, believed its formation must have been relatively recent, given that there were no records going back beyond the Trojan War. The Talmudic rabbis, Martin Luther and others used the biblical account to extrapolate back from known history and came up with rather similar estimates for when the earth came into being. The most famous came in 1654, when Archbishop James Ussher of Ireland offered the date of 4004 b.c.
"Where we know nothing we may speculate without fear of contradiction." With these words, written in Scientific American in 1909, English astronomer F. W. Henkel, a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, described without apparent embarrassment much of the culture of astronomy a century ago. It was an era when experts used very limited data to make all-encompassing claims about the formation and evolution of the solar system, the existence of a planet called Vulcan and the presence of life on other planets.
Captivating, but ultimately incorrect, ideas about our solar system are evident in many of the early Scientific American articles gathered in this special issue. More recent articles, we would like to think, present more robust claims, because they are based on something rather than nothing. Together this collection illustrates, wonderfully, how the science of astronomy has evolved over the past 150 years.
THE PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS is one of the most important developments in modern science, although it dates from the 1860s. In addition to unifying a huge variety of chemical and physical phenomena, it contributed significantly to the development of atomic physics and eventually to the theory of quantum mechanics.
Throw the word "health" at Google, and you will retrieve, as I write this, about 958 million results. Alternatively, if you feel up to reading them, you could directly consult the medical journals for information; the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE service indexes about 5,000 of them. If you are into health and fitness magazines, you probably have more than 100 of those to choose from. Clearly, a world of health information is out there and readily available if you want it. The problem is one of navigating through it to worthy destinations. Finding your way to relevant, trustworthy information, presented in terms that are not only understandable but appealing to your interests, is still a challenge.
Imagine what it must be like. In a condition called synesthesia, senses blend, with exotic effects. Each number may evoke its own color, and flavors can mingle with shapes--in one instance letting a man tell that a roasted chicken was done, because it tasted "pointy." In their article, "Hearing Colors, Tasting Shapes," Vilayanur S. Ramachandran and Edward M. Hubbard describe how synesthesia has yielded insights into how the brain processes complex sensory inputs.
A savvy handicapper would never have put money on the continued existence of this evolutionary dark horse. Nearly hairless, weak--no sharp claws or slicing teeth here--and slow, with a bumpy bipedal gait, humans might initially appear to be one of the unlikeliest survivors on earth. Except for the oversize brains.
Things get weird - spectacularly so - at the borderlands of physics. The rarefied realms described mathematically and sometimes glimpsed in experiments are all the more extraordinary for not being the mere products of someone's hyperactive imagination.
Nearly 40 years since we declared war on cancer, how goes the campaign against this intractable and ancient adversary? As you will learn in this special edition, our enemy intelligence has improved over the years, enabling us to get a better bead on where the trouble begins. And we have developed stronger weapons, to more precisely pursue and annihilate diseased tissue.
If our civilization should someday collapse, then-—with apologies to McDonald's—let this be its epitaph: "Billions and billions served." Humanity has come a long way from its hunter-gatherer roots. Thanks to industrial-age agricultural production, global commerce and the 20th century's green revolution in farming, the world can support billions of people who once would not have found enough to eat. But goodness, look what we're feeding them.
Any Civil War buff is familiar with the technological advances of that era: the carnage caused when tactics failed to accommodate breech-loading rifled muskets and artillery pieces, the truly revolutionary introduction of armored ships and railroad networks, and the merely tantalizing deployment of submerged warships and reconnaissance balloons. Historians still argue about the extent to which the Civil War was the first "modern" war, but it is impossible to deny that the technology with which it was fought foretold the ways in which future wars would become bigger, bloodier and more devastating. Fewer people realize, however, that a similar explosion in technological creativity occurred away from the battlefield.
At the start of the new millennium, it is apparent that one question towers above all others in life sciences: How does the set of processes we call mind emerge from the activity of the organ we call brain? The question is hardly new. It has been formulated in one way or another for centuries. Once it became possible to pose the question and not be burned at the stake, it has been asked openly and insistently. Recently the question has preoccupied both the experts neuroscientists, cognitive scientists and philosophers and others who wonder about the origin of the mind, specifically the conscious mind.
In this collection of Scientific American articles published at the turn of the last century, observations and reports about experiments with flying machines nearly vibrate with anticipation. The writers know that powered, controlled flight, "effected by means of an apparatus heavier than the air," will happen soon. What they don't know is who will do it, or how, or when.
Black holes curve the fabric of spacetime so extremely that it rends. The superdense objects devour anything--even light--that strays too close, a trip from which there is no escape. Perhaps their most singular power, however, is their hold on our imagination. Learning more about these implacable gluttons offers the same shivery frisson as watching a stalking horror-movie creature while knowing we are safe in our cushioned seats.
One hundred years ago, during the night of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg, and in the small hours of the next day went down into the cold Atlantic Ocean with the loss of 1,517 lives.
There have been worse tragedies in history. Some were more violently spectacular, some still govern the daily routines of the survivors. Yet the Titanic disaster has strongly resonated with us for a century. Why? Because it is a tale of humanity as classic as a Greek tragedy. The story has been told and retold for the past century in movies, books, songs and magazine articles. Even James Cameron made a film using the Titanic saga as a backdrop.
An era of breathless anticipation came to an end on March 7, 1912, when Roald Amundsen landed in Tasmania and sent telegrams announcing that he and his team of Antarctic explorers had reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911. Just weeks after that historic announcement on or about March 29, 1912 Amundsen's one-time rival for this feat of geographic primacy, Robert Falcon Scott, and the last surviving members of his five-man team perished on the windswept snow of the Ross Ice Shelf, although news of Scott's death did not reach the outside world until months later.
How deluded we are. We believe that, with our seemingly all-knowing consciousness, we are masters of our own domain (as Jerry Seinfeld so colorfully put it). In reality, as you will learn in this special issue, the imperatives and influences of sex, the sexes and sexuality all subconsciously shape our behavior in countless ways.
