From a terse, wonderfully observant and unsentimental screenplay by Michael Richter, director Jeremiah Birnbaum has made a refreshingly low-key, unhysterical account of a modern tragedy and the very specific ways it affects people, long after horrific incidents happen. The lack of melodrama or sensationalism in the presentation really helps you get under the characters' skins, while realizing fully the innate mystery germane to every human being. Torn is the kind of story which could happen anywhere and, terrifyingly, seems to be happening more and more, and the filmmakers' big achievement here is the way they deal with it, never once resorting to the mawkishness or ugly rabble-rousing hype which all too often accompanies this subject. Richter tells the tale with admirable economy—the film runs 80 minutes—as well as an unstressed but devastating emotional authenticity. He could have ended his film with the question of the boys' culpability unanswered and that ambiguity would have been sufficient, but instead he reveals the truth, and the revelation is breathtakingly poignant.
Richter admirably switches the usual tables on the women's economic status: far from being a menial immigrant, Maryam is a successful white-collar professional, while Lea toils as a factory janitor. They both suffer ostracism in the workplace and elsewhere as news of their sons' possible involvement spills. Their different but strangely parallel dramatic arcs are beautifully rendered by the weather-beaten Taylor and the lovely, composed (until she cracks) Baloch, as is their burgeoning, difficult friendship. Faran Tahir has a marvelous dignity and strength as Maryam's husband, who was mistakenly arrested post-9/11; his monologue about preferring a life of "filthy biryani" back in Pakistan to the contempt he endures in this "land of the free" is searing. John Heard lends some crusty authority as a cop, although Sharon Washington is a tad too vehement as an FBI agent bent on cracking the case.

Scabies is an infestation of the skin. It is caused by a tiny mite.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
An infestation results when the female mite burrows into the skin and lays its eggs. The scabies mite does not suck blood. It does not transmit any disease other than scabies between people.
Scabies is highly contagious. Most often, it is passed from person to person through:
- Close and generally prolonged physical contact
- Sexual contact
Scabies can also spread from person to person by sharing:
- Clothing
- Towels
- Bedding
Scabies can occasionally also be acquired from certain mammals. It is most common from dogs with sarcoptic mange. Scabies from dogs differs somewhat from human scabies. It rarely passes from person to person.

Please go read the thread Miraje started on the potential for Severe Weather this afternoon/tonight. Be sure to click on her link and read the info there as well.
There is a potential for hail to fall, accompanied by wind gusts up to 80 mph. If the hail reaches baseball-sized, which is a distinct possibility, then the danger and potential for harm is incredibly high. This could be, literally, a life-threatening situation. A person hit by wind-driven hail the size of baseballs could be harmed very badly. Please go read Miraje's thread on today's (June 20th's) Severe Weather threat. Please DO NOT COMMENT on this thread because I want it to stay at the top of the page and catch everyone's attention. If you want to comment, post comments on Miraje's thread.

I bought Nordic Ware commercial-grade non-stick wok at Costco today for about $25 thinking it might be good for healthy, quick meals now and when I go back to school in the fall.
I love most Asian food but am not a big fan of Chinese for some reason - maybe just too much bad quality from take-out joints. I also need to avoid MSG and additives. Can anyone suggest some good recipes? Thanks :) Sue |

I like using my wok, and as long as you use a healthy oil and only a bit of it, should be able to create a meal that's both delicious and healthy at the same time. I use canola oil. One of our favorite recipes: 1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless - chopped in small pieces Start the rice cooking in your favorite manner. Heat up the wok, add a little canola oil to the bottom and heat it up. In the meantime, marinate the raw chicken with a little bit of the soy sauce. When the oil is heated up, cook the chicken breast meat in it. Stir fast and often while it's cooking. When the chicken is cooked thoroughly, move it to a bowl and let it sit. Add a little more canola oil (not much) and add the 2 bags of frozen vegetables. Add 1 tbsp water and cover. Let them steam - usually 10-15 minutes. When the vegies are thoroughly cooked, add the cooked chicken and stir it all together. In a gravy shaker, mix 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1/2 tsp cornstarch. Shake. Pour over the chicken and veggie mixture and stir fry. Serve over white or brown rice. Types of veggies I've used: DonnaR/CA |
I think the terms "wok" and non-stick are mutually exclusive. To properly stir fry, that for the vegetables to be quickly cooked and slightly browned but still crisp, you need to have your wok very hot....and a non stick coating doesn't do well getting very hot. In my opinion it's unsafe. Now realize I use non stick fry pans all the time for eggs and to sautee veggies and to saute chicken breasts....but I don't cook at high heat with non stick. That said...my favorite thing to cook in a wok, you can decide if it's safe in your wok or not, is chicken and vegetables. Heat your wok for 5 to 8 minutes on high. |

CHICKEN WITH CASHEWS 4 tablespoons wine vinegar 4 tablespoons soy sauce 4 teaspoons sugar 14 ounces raw boneless skinned chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 teaspoons oil 3 green onions, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1 teaspoon minced or grated fresh ginger OR 1/2 teaspoon dried LOTS OF CASHEWS 4 cups cooked rice Mix together vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar, set aside. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok. Toss chicken pieces in cornstarch, then stir fry them 5-7 minutes until cooked. Remove from pan and add onion, garlic, red pepper, and ginger. Stir fry 15 seconds. Add vinegar mixture, cashews, chicken, stirring to coat chicken, about 2 minutes. Serve over rice. I added mushrooms, pea pods, broccoli and water chestnuts! |
Wow, should I return it? Now I don't know what to do! |

Here is a link that might be useful: Cooking Forum FAQ page - Stir-Fry
To return it or not is up to you. Surely you are aware of all the controversity over the safety of non stick coatings on cookware. The word is they give off fumes when heated to high temperatures. There are even warnings about using non stick cookware if you have a bird near the kitchen. Now...I am not a fear monger...I have a stack of several sizes of non stick skillets, but I use them for things that don't need high heat, eggs, sauteed onions, mushrooms, frying fish....things that don't need a blazing hot pan. Check the link posted....scroll to the Cooks Illustrated article and make your own decision. Linda C |

A non-stick wok is basically a bowl-shaped saute pan that you shouldn't heat hot enough to really stir-fry. Goldgirl, if you have a gas stove, you can pick up a real wok quite cheaply in any Chinatown (if you live close to one) or online...of course you'll have to temper it like you do an iron frypan. However, modern gas stoves really don't allow for the kind of heat classic stir-frying requires, and with an electric, forget it. See, a wok is designed with the idea of flames coming up the sides, creating a large, hot surface that the food (because of the slope) naturally tends to fall off, only to be tossed back up. So, the food is cooked by repeated but relatively brief contact with a very hot surface. This sears in juices and cooks through at the same time. In a nonstick, or over an inadequate heat source, the searing heat isn't possible, and so juices leach out of the vegetables, creating more of a "steaming" effect, which is what you'd get with a saute pan. The wok "effect" is more easily achieved with a good, heavy stainless saute pan used with constant "flipping" of the food being cooked over a high heat than with a wok over a modern gas or electric heat. |
What LindaC and Rachel said is true, goldgirl. If you are serious about using your wok, you should think about getting a different one, preferably iron or steel with a dome and two handles. Properly seasoned, a wok usually just swishes clean. I have had to deal with some awful messes, though. That said, I love my wok. It's an ugly mess after all these years, but I use it for more than stir fry. I fill it with oil and fry chicken, french fries, battered mushrooms, onion rings, etc. I don't have a deep-fryer, and the wok works great. Of course, I do use it for stir frying as well, but it is versatile. I hope you'll enjoy using yours, whatever you decide. Sherry |
My wok happens to be an electric non-stick - West Bend from probably 20 years back or so. It's the 2nd one I've owned. While the other posters are correct that it doesn't get superbly hot, it does just fine in creating a healthy meal on very little fat. I haven't had a gas stove in years, and I did have one of those stove-top heavy woks when I started using a wok. When we moved to an Aleutian island that had electric stoves (no natural gas to the island, even our furnaces were electric, though some homes were heated by jet fuel), I had no choice- give up the stove top wok and go to an electric. Mine does just fine. DonnaR/CA |

I also use my wok for deep frying, as well as for making popcorn - I can make huge batches at a time. I like to deep fry empanadas, quesadillas (made with fresh masa), tempura, fish, hush puppies, and panzarotti. On occasion, I also make beignets. Here's my Pad Thai recipe, which is a traditional stir fry, but is not at all Chinese in flavor. If you don't have tamarind paste, you can substitute tamarind sauce and double the amount of tamarind and halve the amount of water added to it. The paste generally has a better flavor, however.

When I started investigating woks I thought non-stick would be at the top of my list! Then I found out they aren't even recommended. The experts all agree that a steel wok is the best way to go, and actually the thinner hammered ones are what the experts use. If you do a search on woks in Google you will come up with tons of information. I personally went to a Chinese restaurant that I go to fairly often and talked to there chef. He was really happy that I was asking and explained the whole thing. By the way, in his kitchen they have woks that are about 3 to 3.5 feet in diameter at the top!!!! |
Popcorn! Of course! Why didn't I think of that? Sherry |

Street Fighter II | Arcade 1991 | Guile
iPods. Cell phones. Flat screen TVs. GPS. The internet. These are all things that came into prominence AFTER the release of Street Fighter II in 1991, so it makes me feel positively Jurassic thinking back to my early days with this iconic brawler. That was back when the only action was arcade action, where one dollar got you a few credits, and when I sucked so hard at Street Fighter it made black holes look like underpowered vacuum cleaners by comparison (I'm a bit better now, thanks for asking). I still remember my first few attempts at a hadouken--the instructions read down, forward down, and forward, so there I was, trying to rapidly jab in those directions individually, as opposed to doing a smooth, quarter-circle motion. Duh.
Because of my quarter circle dyslexia, I tended to favor charge characters in those early days. Blanka was a favorite, as was E. Honda, but the character who I ended up playing the most was that no-nonsense all-American, Guile. Guile, with hair you can slice a steak with and a powerful double-hit leg sweep. Guile, with his easy-to-pull off sonic boom and difficult to defend against flash kick. Guile, who was so simple and so cheap that you could easily annoy even the most patient of your friends. Guile was the first ever character I defeated M. Bison with, and he retains a special place in my heart because of that.
Fatal Fury | Arcade 1992 | Terry Bogard
With the huge success of Street Fighter around the early '90s, I often found it difficult to find a spare machine to hone my skills on. And even when I did find a spare, I would usually be challenged by someone who, you know, was actually decent at fighting games. Luckily, the success off SFII spawned a host of imitators, and for my dollar, SNK's Fatal Fury was one of the best. Sure, the original Fatal Fury didn't have a huge list of fighters to choose from--there were only the two Bogard brothers and Joe Higashi initially--but it had a great cast of characters that were genuinely distinct from each other and great to line up against. Plus Fatal Fury was the first ever King of Fighters Tournament, and we all know the success that series has gone on to achieve.
As for the brothers, Terry was the stand-out for me. Terry had a great mix of killer moves--a projectile with the power wave, an anti-air with the rising tackle, and a rush with the burning tackle. Plus he had a sweet hat, which I've always wanted.
Tekken Tag Tournament | PlayStation 2 2000 | Lei Wulong and Jun Kazama
Up until Tekken Tag Tournament, I'd always preferred to do my virtual fighting in an arcade. Why? It wasn't until the power of the PlayStation 2 that the arcade experience could well and truly be replicated at home (with an honorable exception going to Street Fighter II for the SNES), and Tekken Tag Tournament was the pinnacle of home fighting at the time. As well as sporting a hefty character list, plenty of extras, and most impressively at the time, looked even better than its arcade counterpart. Tekken Tag was one of the main reasons I bought Sony's latest console.
In Tekken Tag, my go-to combination was always the deadly team of Lei Wulong and Jun Kazama. Lei had become one of my favorite characters since his introduction in Tekken 2 (being heavily into Jackie Chan films back then), but Tekken Tag was my first serious attempt at playing Jun. Jun had seriously deadly combos and was tough to defend against, and is one of the characters I'm seriously hoping makes a comeback in the next Tekken Tag. Do you hear me series producer Katsuhiro Harada? Bring back Jun!
--Dishonorable Mention--
Pit-Fighter | Arcade 1991 | Buzz
Many may think Mortal Kombat was the first time digitized actors were used instead of animated characters in a fighting game. But a year before fatalities were in vogue, Pit Fighter had already tried to make a more "realistic" fighter. And boy, was it the pits (see what I did there?).
Good fighters give you nuanced, interesting characters to play and tough but fair opponents to go up against, but Pit Fighter gave you neither of these. Each of the three characters had extremely limited movesets, and your opponents were cheaper than copies of Rock Revolution. What was even worse were many of the game's home console ports, which took an already average looking arcade game and made it crappier to look at. Ex-pro wrestler Buzz was my favorite, if he only because he could take the most punishment from the oh-so-cheap enemies.

Protein in the blood of many animals (in vertebrates it is in red blood cells) that transports oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. It is bright red when combined with oxygen and purple-blue in the deoxygenated state. Each molecule is made up of a globin (a type of protein) and four heme groups. Heme, a complex heterocyclic compound, is an organic molecule derived from porphyrin with an iron atom at the centre. Variant hemoglobins (see sickle-cell anemia; hemoglobinopathy) can be used to trace past human migrations and to study genetic relationships among populations.

Pioneer Woman with Ree Drummond

Grilled Potato Bundles
Blackberry Pot Pies
Grilled Corn with Bell Pepper Butter
Grilled Chicken Sliders
Grilled Potato Bundles
Blackberry Pot Pies
Grilled Corn with Bell Pepper Butter
Pioneer Woman is certainly one way to get back to blogging.
There's always something to talk about with Ree and her crew. But, first, just
so you know, I really haven't fallen off the face of the earth…just the
computer. What's been taking center stage lately is my renovation and my wedding.
Okay, it's not technically MY wedding, but D(aughter)
calls it that to get on my good side.
My latest projects have been to pick out tile and plan D's bridal shower. I had no idea that a
new bathroom had the potential for so much tile and that there were so many
napkin possibilities for a bridal shower. Each one cuter than the last… The
funny thing is that I've been spending tons more time (and effort)
"designing" the napkins for the bridal shower than I've spent picking out tile
for the ACTUAL shower.
A friend told me that the tile was going to last a lot
longer than the napkins, so I should get my act in gear, but what could be more
fun than looking through 50 shades of purple and deciding whether the text should
be foil or not?!! The napkins are finally done, but I've found another shower
(bridal) project that is endless – Tissue Paper Flowers.
I started by making them myself, until D said they looked like something people would blow their noses
with. She wasn't being horrible, it was true! So I ordered some from Etsy.
Really great, EXCEPT I still have to unfold the million layers of tissue to get
them to the flower stage. Gosh, what difficult problems I have!
Let's talk about some real world issues. Ree is cooking for Lance
Ladd (Happy Father's Day!) and the kids after they've spent the afternoon "burning" the fields or
outback or whatever. Is that a good idea
with the drought they're having? I'm hoping they know what they're doing.
Ree takes a drive "up to" the lodge to make dinner. I had no
idea it was so far from her actual house. She's driving forever on dirt roads
to get there. I guess it's in in the back
40. I love that expression. I always talk about our back 40 when I go from the
end of the deck to the back fence…which probably isn't even 40 FEET, much less
40 acres.
They show the family (sans Ree) driving fire trucks out to
the pasture. Oh my! This burning of fields is a really big deal that takes the
whole town to help. I'm feeling
uneasy that a 16 year old is driving one of these things. I guess kids grow up faster on the range than in these here parts. I
wouldn't even let my kids light a match until they were 20.
Ree is grilling most of dinner…in keeping with the day's
activities. She's starting with dessert, though – homemade vanilla ice cream. I like that she takes 2 quarts of heavy
cream from the fridge. What could be wrong with that? Oh, it's half and
half. I guess I can live with that.
Ree warms up the half and half with some sugar. Interesting.
I always add the sugar to the egg yolks for the base of the custard. She splits
a vanilla bean and scraps out the seeds and adds both to the pot. She beats egg
yolks in a mixer and then tempers them with some of the hot half and half
mixture. Nothing wrong here, but it does feel weird to me that the egg yolks
are sugar-less. Next Ree pours the tempered eggs (removing the vanilla bean
pod) back into the half and half. She cooks it for a few minutes, stirring all
the time.
About scalding the cream, in the olden days (you know, way
back in 2000 something and before) recipes would always direct you to scald the
milk for a custard. Nowadays, that's not the case. Scalding used to be
necessary before milk was pasteurized to kill bacteria. We don't have that
worry now, but there's another reason for it. Scalding kills an enzyme in milk
that hinders the egg yolks thickening. Some believe that custard just doesn't
set the same way with non-scalded milk.
I'm pretty set in my ways, so I always heat my milk and/or
cream for a custard. I like that it dissolves the sugar and I may be imagining
this, but I also like the flavor of heated-up milk. I could be making this up,
but milk tastes sweeter to me after it's been boiled. Even if I'm making a cold
latte, I boil the milk first. I was once refused hot milk in an iced latte at
Starbucks, because it was against the rules. So I had them make me a regular
latte and I asked for a large cup of ice. Out of eyeshot, I poured it over the
cup of ice. Perfect.
PS One more thing - Scalding
milk in bread-making gives the dough a better volume, because it kills an
enzyme that inhibits the development of gluten and prevents the dough from rising properly.
Back to Ree, she adds the cooked custard to 3 cups of cold
heavy cream. Hmmm, so she scalded half
the cream and the other half she used cold. Adding it cold WILL cool down the
mixture faster and allow it to get into the ice cream machine faster. But I
heat all the cream and milk to make the custard and then I cool it overnight,
so it's really cold.
By the way, my typical vanilla ice cream recipe is 5 cups of
milk and cream to 6 egg yolks and 1 cup of sugar (actually, I take out 2
tablespoons). Ree's has tons more sugar…6 cups of cream and half and
half to 8 yolks and TWO cups of sugar.
Oh, Ree says she does
sometimes chill the mixture first, but if you have a good ice cream machine, it
will do it for you. NO, don't assume that. If you put a warmish custard into an ice cream
machine, it will never get cold enough to do its creamy, velvety, whole point
of ice cream thing. It will never
get beyond that super slushy phase within the time the ice cream machine is
designed to run. My Cuisinart countertop ice cream machine loses its cool
(literally) after about 35 minutes, although I never let it go past 25 to 30
minutes. (It says to turn it off after 45 minutes.) First rule of ice cream, start with a cold base.
While the ice cream is churning, Ree explains why they light
their ranch on fire every spring. Apparently burning is "an important part of
pasture management". It makes the grass more nutritious for the cattle. Oh, and
it "helps revitalize the prairie". Who wouldn't want that? They burn a
perimeter around each pasture first and then put THAT fire out so the main fire
in the middle of the pasture doesn't spread. I sure hope nothing goes awry with
their plan.
Ree takes the ice cream out of the machine. It looks a
little soft. WHAT did I say? ;-) She
packs it into containers and puts it in the freezer until dinner.
Next up is individual blackberry pies. Ree adds sugar to
frozen blackberries in a pot and then adds vanilla extract and heats it up.
Nope, don't do that. Add the vanilla
after it comes off the heat, so you don't burn all that expensive flavor away.
Ree cooks the
blackberry mixture just until it comes to the boil. (That poor vanilla!) She
adds lots of cornstarch to a little water and pours it into the blackberries
and simmers it and then cools it. Again, don't subject your vanilla to the same
raucous boiling that the cornstarch requires.
Ree rolls out her pie crust. She made it by mixing flour
(with salt), SALTED butter and shortening. Way too much salt, but salty stuff
is so popular with dessert these days. I would never buy salted butter (the
only good use I've ever heard for it is toast), but it might make a heartier
tasting pie crust that contrasts nicely to the sweet berries. Maybe.
Ree mixes it all with a pastry blender and then she adds a
beaten egg and cold water and white vinegar. WHY would she add vinegar? She doesn't
say, but it's supposed to make a flakier crust because the acid inhibits the
development of the gluten and the vinegar also prevents overbrowning. I've
never added vinegar, but I have used lemon juice occasionally. Now that I think
about it, it would make sense for a pie that bakes for a long time – pecan pie
or a deep dish apple pie.
Ooh, so what have we learned? Vinegar in pie crust
inhibits gluten and makes a flaky pie crust and scalded milk in yeast doughs
does exactly the opposite. It ENCOURAGES the development of gluten. Do I have
that right? Yup, I think so.
One other comment
about Ree's pastry. She says to use cold water. That's not good enough, it
should be ICE water. You're trying to keep the butter or other fat as cold
as it can be before it goes into the oven. Ree
forms her pie dough into a disk and chills it. Oy, of course she does. And I
know that's what most people do. I have to mention (you've probably heard it
before) my own weird method of dealing with pastry.
As soon as it's mixed
up, I roll out the beautifully pliable dough between two sheets of plastic
wrap. It's such a complete pleasure to work with soft dough, unlike dough from
the fridge that you have to fight with and beat with a rolling pin. Mine is
pliable and relaxed and delightful. And you've protected it from sticking
with the plastic. (I have used foil too.) Then I lay the dough round on the top of an overturned
baking sheet and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. I can also freeze it
like that, which means I can get the messy and hard part of making a pie crust
out of the way in advance. If I'm making a pie that day, I just take the dough
from the fridge and fit it into the pie dish and maybe chill it just a bit
longer before filling and baking, so it keeps it shape.
Back to Ree's pies - She cuts out the rolled out dough just
big enough to cover her baby cast iron skillets. I love those. And I do love
having special equipment for every little thing in the kitchen, but I have to
admit those are not in my pantry. Life is too short to have EVERYTHING and
individual cast iron skillets are not part of my stockpile (at the moment). I
suppose you could use big ramekins or whatever you use for onion soup, for
Ree uses a ladle to get the filling into the skillets. She
tops them the pastry rounds and brushes the crusts with egg wash and vents them.
Meanwhile, we see the family starting fires…and putting them out. Ree bakes the
little pies at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes until they're browned.
Apparently, the burning is going okay. We see scads of smoke
and fire. They're refilling the water trucks. Probably a good idea.
The pies come out of the oven.
Next are potatoes. Ree chops unpeeled russet potatoes into
big chunks. She mixes in some chopped onion and puts them in heavy duty foil
squares with a chunk of butter. That's a
bit dull. And no salt? Oh, she adds some cream on top AND salt and pepper AND
some paprika AND some chopped parsley. That sounds better. She folds up the
squares and puts them on a hot grill. They cook for 30 minutes. (I find sometimes potatoes never cook
through like that. I would be tempted to dump those potato pieces into boiling
water for about 90 seconds and then proceed with the recipe.)
Ree finishes up the meal by making grilled corn with bell
pepper butter. She processes really cold butter with 3 colors of peppers. She
says to add a jalapeño too, if you want. Salt and pepper go in and she pulses
it until it's all combined. It looks chunky rather than smooth. Ree adds the
flavored butter to individual foil packets of corn. She wraps them tight. We
see Ladd hurling himself up into the cab of a big truck.
The corn packages go on the grill, not on the hottest part, Ree
says. (Won't they steam rather than grill? I guess that's what she's going
for.) Ree puts chicken on the grill for 3 minutes on each side. (They're boneless
breasts.) She adds pre-sliced cheddar to the chicken. Oh and the chicken was
marinated in vegetable oil, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and
chopped onion.
Ree plates the chicken (before the family has arrived) and
takes everything else off the grill.

Hey everyone!
Finally got a chance to shoot my new Kahr CW9 and EAA Witness (regular full size 9mm). The Kahr kicked harder than I expected and had the looooooooongest pull ever. I'm sure I will get used to it eventually (I shot several mags through it before I started to NOT shoot horribly). However, the Witness was a fantastic shot and tons of fun to shoot. I'm interested in looking at the EAA Witness Carry and the EAA Witness Conceal. Does anyone know how the frames are in size in comparison to each other? I have very short fingers and most guns are too big in the grip for me. The Witness was the ONLY double stack 9mm I have ever found that fit my hand perfectly. I tend to hold high and it is perfectly narrow at the top. I would love to carry the Witness but I don't think my frame would support trying to conceal carry it. If anyone has any ideas of size comparison, that would be awesome. Comparison pics would be even better, but I'm sure that wouldn't be an easy request to fill! Thank you in advance for all your help!!!

I need information about...
The Department of Surgery at Baylor University Medical Center has a long history of research participation. The department includes eight clinical divisions: colorectal, general, hepatopancreatobiliary, minimally invasive, oncology, transplant, trauma/acute care/critical care and vascular. Each division is focused on education and research in that specialty area.
The Department of Surgery at Baylor is committed to fostering an environment that promotes clinical research. A structured research education program, designed to attract attending and resident participation, provides the guidance, support and stimulus for department-wide involvement in scholarly activities. Through the collaboration of attending physicians, residents, Baylor Research Institute (BRI) staff, biostatistics support staff, Division of Surgical Education faculty, Surgical Research Peer Review Committee members, Associate Surgical Program directors in research and Surgical Simulation faculty, the Department of Surgery develops, studies and enrolls patients in clinical trials to benefit future patient care and change the way we educate students, residents and faculty.
The Baylor Health Care System Foundation and Seeger Fund have provided support for local trials in the areas of trauma, oncology, vascular, colorectal, minimally invasive, pancreatic, liver and general surgery. The Department of Surgery contributes patient enrollment to the Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center medical oncology trials, especially in the areas of breast and pancreas cancers and melanoma. The Innovative Clinical Trials Center (ICTC) at the Sammons Cancer Center provides collaborative support for pilot studies of new modalities in surgical and medical treatment of advanced-staged cancer.
The Surgical Oncology Cancer Research Database (SOCRD) houses primary source data collected through multidisciplinary teams related to most types of cancer. The Baylor Foundation and Seeger Funds continue to support development of new platforms to support the teaching of the multidisciplinary cancer care teams. Not only does SOCRD provide data for research, but it also serves as the core data for process and quality improvement within the clinical areas of cancer care. Dr. John Preskitt, chief, Division of Surgery, has built this area into the basis of all future projects at Sammons Cancer Center.
The Department of Surgery has developed criteria for establishing Centers of Excellence (COE) based on the divisions within the department. As each of these Centers of Excellence is established, research and data collection will be major features for maintaining COE designations. Currently, pancreatic cancer, rectal cancer, breast cancer and esophageal cancer COEs are under development. Registries and prospective trials are available for patients.
The faculty within the Department of Surgery is actively involved in industry-sponsored clinical trials that are focused on new technology, new drugs and new interventions for surgical disease. The department is a member of SWOG (formerly the Southwest Oncology Group), the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) and the Alliance Cooperative groups and also has numerous cooperative groups' studies open and enrolling patients at any time.
The Division of Transplant is one of the largest clinical programs in the US and has one of the most active research programs in transplant immunology in the world. A robust clinical database has been maintained for more than 30 years, and collaborative projects between surgery and hepatology are constantly enrolling new patients. The industry-sponsored clinical trials mechanism is relevant to all aspects of transplant medicine and surgery.
The Division of Surgical Education, headed by Dr. Thomas Cox, PsyD, is the newest division within the Department of Surgery. The division is focused on surgical education at all levels (student, resident, faculty) and is committed to research-driven processes to improve the educational and clinical environment within the department and hospital. Numerous collaborative prospective trials are under way at all levels of the educational process.
The Simulation Program within Baylor University Medical Center is headed by Dr. Sanket Chauhan and affects all areas of the hospital. The Surgical Simulation Program within this department has been strengthened to improve resident education. Numerous research projects in the areas of new technology, resident training and education through simulation are ongoing.

Well, I still have to trim threads, label it and wash it, but here is my version of Cherri House's City Lights. The pattern called for pale and medium pastels to be used, but I couldn't find any pale enough to suit me. I wanted a very neutral palette, so I used off-whites, taupes, tans, greys and greens. This quilt is for my step-daughter, Sabine. Her home is very modern, so I hope this will please her. Thanks for looking. |

Like it lots!!! Theresa |
Perfect. Very well done and I know Sabine's going to love it. Congratulations. TFS |

I like it! The quilting is perfect. I borrowed this book from the library and this was the quilt I was attracted to. I may have to make it now! I think your colors are perfect. I really like the contemporary look. She will love it. Were you pleased with the machine sewn binding? |
It's beautiful! Are you ready to give it away? It looks so much like it belongs there on the sofa by the fireplace. You did such a great job. TFS. ~Geraldine |
It is gorgeous! very modern looking! When some of the younger ones around here say they don't like quilts I know they are thinking all quilts are made with traditional patterns. Rosa |
Marsha, I think the machine-sewn binding worked well on this quilt. I acutally sewed the binding to the back of the quilt, turned it over the edge and stitched it on the front. The black thread on the mostly black backing was very forgiving. I don't think I would have been very pleased with this technique for a multicolored binding/backing combination though. The line of stiching on the back does meander. Thanks, everyone, for the kind comments. |
I like this quilt very much. Well done, very well done! |
My sister has a huge blank wall in her dining room. I suggested she make a quilt, but she said she didn't like country. I told her quilts come in all styles and I don't think she believed me. I'm sending her this link. This is so modern and "clean" looking. I really like it and think she will too. Thanks for sharing. |

Lois, Excellent choice for fabric and your quilting gives it another dimension. Great job!!!! SharonG/FL |
- Posted by luvtosharedivs (My Page) on Sun, Feb 26, 12 at 19:22
City Lights is such an appropriate name! It reminds me immediately of a skyscraper. Great job! I like the backing too. I attach my binding the same way. I know exactly what you mean, by the meandering line on the back, but it doesn't show very much if you use matching thread on the back. All your horizontal and vertical lines look perfectly straight! Is it sewn together in blocks, rows, or strips? Julie |
Amazing use of fabric. I am not a contemporary quilt fan, but I'd change my mind for this one. I love it. It reminds me of the Shoji screens in Japan. |
Julie, you make three horizontal blocks of five black rectangles and three light ones for each row. Then you sew them together with the thin light rectangle between them. Then you sew the row to a thin horizontal black sashing strip. And so on, being careful to line up the rectangles vertically. Kind of boring, but then most quilts are at some point, I guess. |
Nothing boring about this quilt! Great contemporary design and super color choices. Love it! I'm bookmarking this one! Kate |
- Posted by luvtosharedivs (My Page) on Mon, Feb 27, 12 at 8:51
Thanks for your reply, Lois. Construction sounds easy. If a quilt goes together fast and easy, with lots of different pastels to work with, it wouldn't be boring to me. Again...nice job! Julie |

Lois, That is a very lovely modern design. It is simple yet striking. Vasu |
That turned out beautiful! Karlene |
Very nice job! Your step-daughter should be very pleased. What color thread did you use to quilt it? I'm guessing a light/neutral, but I don't see it showing up on the horizontal black strips - did you quilt straight down the quilt, or did you skip over the black horizontal lines? Lola |
Lola, I used black thread for the black and dark grey fabric and a neutral for the rest. You are right. In the light rectangles, I stopped and started for every black sashing I came to. A bit tedious, but I thought a light thread on the black sashing would ruin the look I was try to achieve. |
Thank you for explaining what you did. I think you made the right choice. Lately I have been very focused on what color thread people choose to quilt with. I just ruined a beautiful quilt with a very bad choice of quilting (both the design and the color!). |

Beautiful quilt, Lois! So peaceful and calming to look at. The quilting is perfect for this layout. Dee |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Fri, Mar 2, 12 at 9:38
Lola - good eye! I agree the thread and quilting choice is very important - I tend to spend too much time and brain cells deciding. I change thread colors & type often within a quilt. Do you still dislike the outcome after you washed your quilt? Lois - I agree with Lola - you made the right choice! I understand what you mean about 'boring'~ I find the repetition of sewing the same colors, and pieces together boring.....not the finished quilt. I tend to make mistakes when it is assembly-line, simple sewing :) I still love your quilt! |
Marsha, the owner of one of my local quilt shops who does a ton of design and piecing herself, said that she uses only two colors of thread when piecing - light and dark - and that she uses the same color throughout the quilt, regardless of fabric color. I settled on three colors - black, grey and beige. I find that one of those works fine for everything I've done so far. The thread comes on a large spool and is finer than "regular" thread. She said it helps keep the seams scant and flat. I'm sorry I can't remember the name. I'm at the office. It sure helps keep my thread inventory down too. |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Fri, Mar 2, 12 at 17:05
I don't generally change thread colors when piecing except for black and white piecing. I change colors & thread types when quilting the top, than I select the thread with great care. |

Living in a simulated world: UW scientists explore the theory
University of Washington physicists have come up with one way to test whether our universe is a giant computer simulation being run by our descendants.
Seattle Times higher education reporter
The simulation argument
"Constraints on the Universe as a Numerical Simulation": The paper can be found online at arxiv.org/abs/1210.1847Are you living in a computer simulation? Oxford professor Nick Bostrom's theory can be found at www.simulation-argument.com/
It is entirely plausible, says University of Washington physics professor Martin Savage, that our universe and everything in it is one huge computer simulation being run by our descendants.
You, me, this newspaper, the room you're sitting in — everything we think of as reality is actually being generated by vast, powerful supercomputers of the future.
If that sounds mind-blowing, Savage and his colleagues think they've come up with a way to test whether it's true.
Their paper, "Constraints on the Universe as a Numerical Simulation," has kindled a lively international discussion about the simulation argument, which was first put forth in 2003 by University of Oxford philosophy professor Nick Bostrom.
A UW News posting explaining Savage's paper has gotten more than 100,000 page views in a week, and ignited theories about the nature of reality and consciousness, the limits on computer networks and musings about what our future selves might be like.
Savage has been interviewed by U.S. News & World Report, The Australian and journalists in Finland, and his colleague and co-author, University of New Hampshire professor Silas Beane, has been interviewed by the BBC. UW physics graduate student Zohreh Davoudi also contributed to the paper.
"It's sort of caught fire," Savage said.
Bostrom, the Oxford professor, first proposed the idea that we live in a computer simulation in 2003. In a 2006 article, he said there was probably no way to know for certain if it is true.
Savage — who describes his "day job" as doing numerical simulations of lattice quantum chromodynamics — said a chance discussion among colleagues sparked the idea that there was a way to test the truth of Bostrom's theory.
And although it might deviate from the work he usually does, it was a worthy question because "there are lots of things about our universe we don't fully understand," Savage said. "This is certainly a different scenario for how our universe works — but nonetheless, it's quite plausible."
In the paper, the physicists propose looking for a "signature," or pattern, in our universe that also occurs in current small-scale computer simulations. One such pattern might be a limitation in the energy of cosmic rays.
Because this theory is starting to test the limits of this reporter's scientific knowledge, we are going to rely on the words of UW News science writer Vince Stricherz, who translated the 14-page paper into laymen's terms:
"There are signatures of resource constraints in present-day simulations that are likely to exist as well in simulations in the distant future, including the imprint of an underlying lattice if one is used to model the space-time continuum," Stricherz wrote.
If our world is a computer simulation, "the highest-energy cosmic rays would not travel along the edges of the lattice in the model but would travel diagonally, and they would not interact equally in all directions as they otherwise would be expected to do."
Got that?
In other words, even supercomputers capable of creating a simulation of the universe would be hobbled by finite resources, and one way we might be able to detect those limits is to look for cosmic rays that don't travel the way they would be expected to travel.
Savage and his team are theorists, not experimentalists. They're not planning to perform such a test, although other physicists have said they're interested in doing so.
And such a test wouldn't absolutely prove we live in a computer simulation — just that it is possible.
"It would just be a beginning," Savage said. "It would be curious. It would stimulate further work."
As of late last week, the UW News article had sparked a wide-ranging online discussion, with more than 100 responses.
Among them:
"It seems unlikely that someone who could do this would be using the same programming techniques that we are currently thinking about. So doing this test might prove we are a sim (simulation) of dim-witted aliens but could not disprove that we are sims of ones slightly smarter than ourselves."
But — "IF we are in a simulation, then the world outside this simulated world is quite possibly COMPLETELY different from the world in it. We may very well be triple-headed, 7-legged cockroach-like creatures that decided to run a homo-sapiens simulation for the fun of it."
"You folks take yourselves way too seriously," another wrote. "This is proof we never should have legalized marijuana."
Savage believes that at some point in the future, if mankind doesn't self-destruct along the way, "we'll try to do simulations of our history. We'll create something that looks like our own universe."
The paper concludes on this note: "There always remains the possibility for the simulated to discover the simulators."
If life is a simulation, though, it doesn't bother Savage.
"I don't stay up at night worrying about it," he said, laughing.

At Mozilla and OSAF I worked on ancillary projects, projects that fed in to the development of the main product without being part of the main product itself. The most frustrating part for me was that while both the main product and my ancillary projects are open source they were hugely different in their needs and community. The main project is well funded, there are many people paid to work on it, and this injects continual investment in to that project, while my ancillary project is usually just me and in order to attract contributors I needed to understand how momentum works in community driven projects outside the walls of my employer.
This made me more attentive to other projects, to what drives momentum and what discourages it. How do you grow a project and what are the limitations? When node.js came along I actively tried to steer things in a direction I thought was positive and would encourage growth but only now, after years of reflection, do I begin to understand why it was so successful and why it now appears to be maintaining an absurd growth rate well above its contemporaries.
The earliest months of a project are the most important. After initial release you have nowhere to go but up, if you release something on your own you're just one developer and if you get 10 people to invest in your project that's 10x growth. From what I've seen there is no real limit to the early growth of an open source project, there are an unbelievable amount of people who will choose to invest in even the newest and least proven technology. You don't need to hitch your wagon to an already growing community and you also don't need to attack the competition to get attention. You need to reduce negativity, that means reaching out to people who are likely to think your project is interesting and distancing yourself from any predictable negativity until you've grown large enough you can handle it. Negativity early on is a killer, it decreases early investment and a new project must avoid it.
Negativity comes in two flavors, internal and external. Internal negativity is attacking the competition; their concurrency patterns suck, you can't write real programs, etc. This attracts the wrong kind of people, you want people who are going to sit on IRC and answer questions in their free time not troll every newcomer. In the early days you should hope that anyone you would attack decides to ignore you, completely. Human beings make investments and any project that is incompatible with their current investments is a potential threat. This is where external negativity comes from and the best way to avoid it is distance.
Every platform comes with a set of established patterns for compatibility. Sometimes these patterns are incredibly limiting, some of them may even lead to the eventual demise of the platform itself. Every platform has compatibility forks that attempt to overcome those limitations and in every case I know of the fork fails to overtake the established pattern. Anyone who's written Twisted or EventMachine knows what I'm talking about. These forks get some momentum early on but are eventually crushed by the negativity from the rest of the community they try to make their home.
If you write a library in Twisted you can grab some value from the rest of the Python community (the language, a portion of the libraries) but a lot of it isn't compatible with what Twisted is trying to do and what you publish using Twisted isn't usable by the rest of the Python community at all unless they adopt Twisted, which leads to some predictable negativity from the community at large.
But, the real question should be "why was Twisted trying to be compatible with Python at all?"
Promises to Fibers
At this point in time Promise libraries for node are entirely compatible with all established patterns in node.js and are only incompatible if the author chooses not to expose a compatible API. If you use a Promise library in your module it's at your discretion whether or not you expose an API as a Promise or as a callback which you then internally wrap up in a Promise. In many ways Promises are just another flow control library, in node at least, and when authors choose to expose a callback API they are opting out of being a compatibility fork. This means two things 1) that Promises are highly unlikely to grow their own community that is incompatible with most of the node ecosystem and 2) the usage or Promises as an external API will never eclipse node's currently established patterns.
If the goal of Promise libraries is to overcome some limitation in node's patterns then they are, currently, limiting the scope of that fix to people who actively invest additional resources in supporting Promises. They are not building a significant ecosystem for their pattern because they are hampered by compatibility. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, this could be the goal of Promise libraries, to provide a flow control pattern for people that seek one out and not to create something potentially bigger than node that is free of the limitations they see in node.
Fibers and streamline are another bag of worms. Their advocates are small but loud and live on the node.js mailing list. Both libraries are attempting to overcome limitations they see in node.js and both do it in ways that limit compatibility with the rest of the ecosystem. Both are met with a fair amount of negativity, which is unfortunately predictable, and it has slowed their growth rate to a fraction of the rest of node's. I have the same question for these libraries as I do for Twisted; "why be compatible with node.js at all?"
Myths of growth
Embedded deep within our thoughts on this subject is a false belief. We all seem to be under the impression that the available growth to open source ecosystems is finite. The reason why people view new challenges to their investment as a threat is the idea that if it were to take off the project would reduce existing investment compatible with established patterns.
The reason partially incompatible forks try so hard to be at least partially compatible is so that they can avoid having to create their own community and gain their own momentum because they believe the available investment is finite and that its better to push their way in to an established and growing community than create a new one.
What I've found is that the available investment in open source ecosystems is not finite. Investment in new projects appears to have little to no impact on existing projects. What I do find is that there are limits to momentum. Quarter over quarter percent growth is dramatic in the earliest growth period (there's so much room to grow!) but once that growth, as a percent of the whole, reduces it rarely if ever grows more than 5% above the previous quarter.
Momentum is not a series of curves that dip and swing, momentum is a snowball on a mountain. The snowball experiences dramatic growth as it starts down the mountain but once it begins to flatten its potential is limited to maintaining its speed or slowing down.
Releasing a new project is the top of the mountain, the more speed you can give it in the earliest phases, the longer you can keep it from slowing down, the greater the potential for that project in the long term.
This is why I think partial compatibility is a mistake. Partial compatibility exposes you to more negativity, which limits early growth. Partial compatibility also limits the amount of potential investment. Node.js could have been a non-blocking fork of Narwhal, it would have had the "advantage" of many existing js modules and the potential to bind to the huge world of Java libraries. Node took a different path.
Node is one of the least compatible platforms that has ever been released. It was compatible with almost no existing JavaScript code since nearly all existing code used the DOM (it would be almost a year before jsdom and others created node versions of the DOM). It was incompatible with most C libraries that nearly all other platforms lean on, like database bindings, which meant that new libraries had to be written from scratch where they hadn't been for platforms like Ruby and Python. There was almost nothing written that worked on node and nothing published that could be used to write a node application. The Fibers and Twisteds of the world consider this incompatibility a liability, a huge barrier to investment, when the opposite is actually true.
In the earlier days of node you could write anything. The advantage of nothing being compatible is that there is a much greater opportunity to attract people interested in writing virtually anything. That means a greater potential for early investment, which creates early momentum, which you can only lose over time so maximizing that early growth is the most important thing.
Node made very few decisions, it limited the size of its core much more than other platforms, but decisions were made. One of those decisions will eventually hold it back from being suitable for a future class of applications. I'm confident in this because I've seen it so many times before. Whatever takes off for that new class of applications to eclipse node will not take off inside the walls of node's ecosystem. Attempting to innovate against the grain of node's current patterns for compatibility will insure failure the way other compatibility forks in other languages failed.
If you take anything from the success of node's ecosystem it's that if you want to create something that overcomes node's limitations you can't do it within node's ecosystem.

For the vast majority of baseball fans, deadline deals in which contending teams push for the playoffs are mysterious in nature. Far more fans only see the big name coming to save the day as a good thing, rather than lament the loss of obscure minor leaguers whose name they've only just learned. The trend is changing as the internet opens up the vast minor league universe to hardcore fans but, for the majority of baseball fans, the names of prospects have very little in the way of context attached.
This week represents a turning point for two fanbases, as "the guy we got for Haren" and "the guy we got for Anibal" will make their respective débuts this week. Jacob Turner — key piece going from the Tigers to the Marlins in the Anibal Sanchez/Omar Infante deal — and Tyler Skaggs — the main prospect haul from the Dan Haren-to-the-Angels trade of 2010 — are probable starters on Wednesday at Chase Field. As fate would have it, they will take the mound in either end of tomorrow's unusual voluntary doubleheader in Arizona.

I hope this is the last time I have to post LOL! We have been looking for a good quality and appealing casement window, preferably not wood interior. The only one I fould that I like is the Marvin Infinity. Is it a good quality window? I know it is expensive which is why I am a little nervous. I have never had to do a big home improvement. Or is there a better window out there. We plan to live in our home for quite awhile. Please give me your good or bad opinions! |

I firmly believe it to be one of the best windows on the market. Are you going with inserts or full tear outs? |
We are doing a full replacement with new jams. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Wed, Oct 24, 12 at 23:24
Solid window. If hung properly, you should never have an issue with it. |
- Posted by HomeSealed (My Page) on Thu, Oct 25, 12 at 16:42
Very good quality, very nice looking. There are better performers, and I have a hard time justifying the premium price that often accompanies it, but it is a very nice package overall that should serve you well if that is what you are looking for. |
Homesealed, what are better performers? I was thinking you recommended Infinity and Sunrise. |
windowsonwashington, I would home they are hung properly since I don't have a choice of who installs them. |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Fri, Oct 26, 12 at 12:01
I would still look into the company and check references, just because they are the only game does not mean they know how to play it correctly! |

When I look back at the films of my youth one thing remains constant—I love a 90s slacker. Tall, long-haired, ripped up jeans and cardigans falling disheveled off their shoulders. These are the men I always kept in the back of my mind as I entered the dating world. However, it wasn't until a friend pointed it out that I realized I had such a 90s slacker fixation. To me, the characters Ethan Hawke, Christian Bale, and Rory Cochrane played in early to mid 90s films embodied everything sensual and perfect about being an adult. Especially their rejection of the adult world as it was. As I aged, I started to notice other benefits to these men. They were creative, romantic, adventurous, smoked (which always makes you sexy, no?), and most of all magnetic to everyone around them. Reality Bites' main bad-boy Troy Dyer (Hawke) was the ultimate artist. He painted, wrote music, and left every woman swooning after him. His detachment from his best friend Lelaina (Winona Ryder) only intensified her need for him, and encouraged their eventual coitus. It wasn't that he tried hard to get the girl, he just couldn't keep them from coming at him. Who cared if he couldn't hold down a job, or pay his share of the rent? Troy was always a charmer capable of surviving, and with him went my heart.

Does anyone know which cycles on the LG Waveforce actually use the Waveforce technology? I just ran a towels wash, and realized that the towels just swish gently around in the tub for the whole cycle. Which cycles actually spin the tub at high speed during the wash, using centrifugal force to push the water through the fabric (I'm assuming this is the "waveforce")? I'm sure I could figure it out by trial and error, but it would be great if someone knew ...
Thanks! |

Hi mainer_at_heart, I don't own that machine but I do recall another poster answering that question before. Here is what he said and a link to that discussion: "The cascading water over the clothes during the Wash/Spin is the wave force action. It happens on load 8lb or more. It depends on the load size and amount of water in the machine. It seems to work mainly on the Normal/cotton cycle and heavy duty." |
Here is a link that might be useful: My new LG Wave Force washer Review
- Posted by mainer_at_heart (My Page) on Thu, Feb 9, 12 at 8:14
Perfect, livebetter! I knew I'd seen that somewhere on here but couldn't find the post again. Thanks for your help!! |
- Posted by whirlpool_trainee (My Page) on Thu, Feb 9, 12 at 8:31
Can't tell for the LG but the Kenmore version has a chart that shows when the WaveForce kicks in. They call is Cascading. If I had to apply this chart to the LG, I'd say the spinning action activates on Normal, Heavy Duty and when the Cold Wash option is set. Alex |
I own the wave force washer. The water jet/spinning action happens when the load/water level are at a certain point and the machine can spin it evenly and fast. Ive had it happen on the towels cycle too. If the water level is too high or low, it will not spin fast enough for centrifical to push the water through the jets at the top of the tub. It is not gauranteed to work on normal, HD, or cold wash cycles every time |
Really????? So it's a complete toss up whether it happens or not regardless if it's supposed to be part of that cycle? That's kind of disappointing to hear :( |
yep that is pretty much how it works. I think they should of just installed a recirculation pump in the washer and let it work the whole time, no matter what size load or water level is in use. It is quite impressive to see it in action. Either way, my clothes come out as clean as when I had a front loader, ust with more water now |
Seems to work about 80% of the time for us, the main 4 cycles we use are cotton/normal, towels, bulky/bedding and Bright Whites for the HOT wash load. Either way our clothes come out clean as can be and smelling fresh. |

With 65 years of image-enhancing experience, Aaron Brothers brings singular design, craftsmanship, and style to each custom framing assignment. Offering individualized design consultations, Aaron Brothers carries a collection of more than 700 unique frame moldings in fine woods and metal, as well as 400 different conservation-grade mats. While prices for each job vary, Aaron Brothers charges $101 for an 11.5''x13.5" custom frame with a mat, UV- clear glass, mount, and fitting. Customers can also get a 7"x9" custom frame with tempest mat, UV-clear glass, mounting, and basic fitting for about $78. Each Aaron Brothers location features a team of designers and master artisans, as well as an assortment of hanging supplies. Bring in treasured works of art and Aaron Brothers' certified preservation experts will help hinder time's attack on photographs, newspaper clippings, and Mesolithic magazine covers.
The craftsmen at New Dimensions Frame & Mirror do not mess around when it comes to custom framing. Not only do they handcraft each frame in-house, they use museum standards and conservation materials to protect prized pieces. They also boast a constantly rotating collection of artwork to fill empty frames, as well as custom mirrors that range from ornate to contemporary.
The craft masters at Seattle Glassblowing Studio & Gallery guide pupils to artistic bliss by expounding on a spectrum of steps needed to create intricate pieces. Whether joining 10?25 fellow artisans in a group workshop or forming a clique in a one- to three-person private class, students turn provided materials into bowls, cups, and decorative piles of glass shards. Professional glass wielders safely impart etiquette and basic techniques such as gathering glass on a rod and shaping it into colorful geometric forms.
The shop's instructors also offer their own artistic services, including custom commissions such as functional lighting and installation pieces. Damaged glass heirlooms undergo repairs in the cold-working shop, where artisans restore shattered pieces and polish away dullness left behind by covetous pawing.
Presented as a gift to Seattle residents from Charles and Emma Frye, two philanthropic Seattleites, the Frye Art Museum in the First Hill neighborhood is lean and low when viewed from the street. The building's stark mid-century concrete profile belies the rich collection of artwork and airy galleries held inside. Opened in 1952 as a home for the couple's private collection of 232 paintings, entrance is free in perpetuity for Seattle residents. And while the Frye founding collection focuses on nineteenth- and twentieth-century paintings, visiting exhibitions have expanded this content and routinely feature contemporary artists such as Mark Mitchell, Joshua Kohl, Jason Hirata, Henry Darger and Helmi Juvonen, among others. The museum also hosts a gift shop and small cafe with outdoor seating in warm months, but is closed on Mondays.
A nationwide department store with a prominent outpost in Downtown Seattle, Macy's is the place for one-stop shopping for the family and the home. The longtime retailer carries brand name and private label clothing and shoes, and have extensive furniture and housewares departments for any upscale homeowner looking to bring their look up a few notches. Even better, they are known for their frequently-occurring sales, which means even mid-level folks can splurge on great pieces for their home or their closet. The stately 1929 building takes up a city block and spans six floors, plus a basement, and holds an annual holiday parade with inflatable floats, marching bands and costumed characters, which ends in the lighting of the huge Macy's star on the corner of the building.
Monahan Studio's philosophy revolves around encouragement: anyone can create art, and should have fun doing it. Drawing and painting classes for adults fuel creativity, whereas children?s sessions cover everything from paper collage to sculpture. Private lessons pair students with an instructor who customizes a project to the client's ability level and speed. Illustration services are also available for traditional publishers and self-publishing authors.
