We love our products, but this routine is almost entirely free of them and somehow that feels… blissful and exquisite. We can thank the resourceful Gayatri and her grandmother's Ayurvedic wisdom for this one!
Name: Gayatri
Age: 23 years
City: New Delhi
Weather: Delhi has two extremes – steaming summers and woeful winters. Currently, winter is rearing its chilly head.
Skin: Stubborn and flighty. My skin changes with seasons. I'm Vata and my skin is mostly dry, flaky and prone to premature ageing. During summers, it becomes quite oily for some days. It chills during monsoons in its usual dry state but winters, oh dear lord. My skin hates me during winters. My skin can also become extremely dull, and this happens in all seasons. It's sallow, sad, miserable looking and more lackluster than the Joey-Rachel romance angle in Friends. But I still love my skin. When it wants to glow, it is luminescent. I don't have blemishes, acne marks, nada. When I'm happy, it's happy too.
Hair: Limp, fine and thin. Like my skin, when I'm happy, hair is happy but when I'm sad my hair is very very sad.
Star from the past: Maharani Gayatri Devi. Exquisite, just exquisite. And she was into heritage conservation.
Why did I go clean? Because I was tired. I was tired of wasting tons of money on products that didn't work. I'm a consultant for a non-profit and earn quite well, but I can't afford to either buy international brands or glitzy Ayurvedic brands like Forest Essentials for all my beauty products—mostly because I would rather use that money to buy books or be cheated at handicraft saree exhibitions. Very few Indian brands are completely clean. So, what could I do? I went back to my grandmother's Ayurvedic secrets. I mostly put food on my face. It works brilliantly and is free (because I steal all my beauty supplies from when I visit my parents every weekend. I work for a non-profit. Stealing is allowed.) But I'm not a super-duper DIY-er. If I can't put it in one jar and shake it up, I'm not making it.
In the morning…
I cleanse my face with raw milk and brush with a tooth powder from a brand called Nirvaaha. Actually, a twig from a Neem tree is supposed to be really good for cleaning teeth, but I'm too chicken for that. I'm mustering up the courage for oil pulling.
In the shower…
Sometimes, when I wake up early and have time, I do Abhyangha with either sesame or almond oil. During winters, I do it almost every day. I wash my body with an ubtan consisting of chickpea flour, wild turmeric, sandalwood, orange peel powder, mint powder, rice powder, neem powder, fuller's earth and almond powder. This is an extremely gentle bath powder. Even natural soaps dry out my skin a lot and ubtan is super moisturizing when you mix it with milk. I wash my face with a mixture of oatmeal, neem powder, and almond powder. When I'm in the mood, I mix cane sugar, lemon juice, olive oil and exfoliate. On my lucky weekends, my mom gives me grated coconut. I eat half on my way back and the rest I use in a scrub.
My hair turns oily and limp very fast but I don't want to shampoo it every morning so I clean it with an age-old recipe using amla, ritha and shikakai. If my hair feels dry, I mix in a little Vitamin E oil but otherwise I don't really need to condition. I use boiled neem water as a hair rinse. I oil my hair at least twice a week and here's where I have a problem. I can't find a clean shampoo that lathers enough to remove the oil. I currently use Soultree's Triphala shampoo but I need to wash my hair thrice to remove the oil. I really need recommendations for nice shampoos that lather. I don't mind if it's an expensive international brand because I save more than enough on beauty products. Sometimes I make a hair mask with hibiscus powder, brahmi, neem powder and mix it with yoghurt or egg. The egg stinks so make sure you don't have a date that night.
Outside the shower…
I use rice water as a toner. During summer, I use coconut milk as a face and body moisturizer. In winters, I use milk cream on my face. It smells funny but it is the only thing that makes my skin fall back in love with me. And it gives an amazing glow. On my body, I use a mixture of oils—apricot kernel oil, rosehip seed oil and vitamin E oil. When I'm out, I use Forest Essentials Absolute Rose face mist. It's my one indulgence. Did I tell you how puurtty the bottle is?
If my hair is frizzy, I use aloe vera gel to smooth it down. I buy Rustic Art's Aloe Vera Gel which has green tea extracts and the packaging is so fancy. For my lips and eyes, I use ghee (clarified butter). It really has smoothed down the fine wrinkles I had and my lips are so soft. For dark circles, I dip cotton wool in rose water, cucumber juice and potato juice and use that as an eye mask. A traditional Ayurvedic mask I use includes saffron, majistha, lodhra, red sandalwood and licorice. I use egg white and tamarind pulp often. You may think that I'm smell like an Indian sweet shop but I don't. I mix rose or lavender EO with all my concoctions so I smell more like a flowerbed. That's what I think.
I don't use a deodorant. I don't sweat or stink much. Honestly. The EOs are more than well enough. But I do use a hair perfume. In a corner of one of Delhi's prettiest markets, I found a lady who makes these cones with charcoal, myrhh, and essential oils of your choice. You light one of these cones and hold it under your hair and the smell is intoxicating. For sunscreen, I use Aroma Magic's Sunblock SPF 30 PA+++.
Finishing touches…
I don't use much makeup. I use Soultree's kajal. I use beetroot juice as lip treatment so they're a nice pink shade.
Thanks for sharing this inspiring routine, Gayatri! Have any of you tried similar Ayurvedic treatments? What are your favorites?
Have you ever looked up from your life and wondered at your own resilience?
Do you associate certain self-care habits with your ability to thrive in this modern life? This past year was one of the most personally challenging I've yet experienced. Looking back, I'm astonished that the stress of it just sort of bounced right off of me, and I credit some of my seemingly innocuous daily habits with playing a big role in my resistance to stress and its nasty affects.
I've been drinking tea made from the tulsi herb for the last year, and I believe this tea has had a significant affect on my well-being. I was looking for a peppermint tea when I found Organic India's Tulsi Peppermint Tea. The information on the box described tulsi as a sacred, healing herb that fights stress, and the little herbalist in me got excited. Before I get to the health benefits, let me say that this tea is truly delicious. Tulsi has a touch of sweetness that peeks through the true peppermint flavor. The taste and scent are relaxing and refreshing. I've been through countless boxes of it now and drink it several times a day.
Tulsi is sometimes called holy basil because it's part of the basil genus and has spiritual significance in India. It's widely used in Ayurvedic medicine as a healing herb that clears the body of toxins and restores balance. It lifts spirits (true!) and acts as a serious nerve tonic. Tulsi contains loads of anti-oxidants and phytochemicals that boost the immune system and assist the body's natural process of healing. Tulsi's anti-inflammatory properties also make it good for digestive disorders, as does the peppermint in this blend.
But if you ask me, the coolest thing about tulsi is that it's an adaptogen.
An adaptogen is any herb that supports a systemic resistance to stress and stressors and has a normalizing affect on the body. For example, Asparagus racemosus, or Shatavari in Ayurvedic medicine, is a rejuvenating adaptogen that tends to lower estrogen levels when they are too high and raise estrogen levels when they are too low. Adaptogens help create a state of balance in the body. They are innocuous and do not influence the body more than necessary.
But how can plants be so smart? Well, when all of an herb's hundreds of molecules are present, they work synergistically to offer long-term balance. This is the opposite of a pharmaceutical drug, which has no way to balance itself or remain innocuous. The tulsi tea I drink uses the whole herb, which allows it to reach its full potential as an adaptogen. I put a lot of stock into this herb and tea. I felt the affects of tulsi long before I actually researched the power of this plant. My body intuitively craved it, which is the true test of efficacy in my book.
Have you tried tulsi? What herbal teas have improved your health?
Are you sometimes stumped for an easy vegetarian meal? Has your digestion been on the fritz? Do you ever crave a "cleanse" that doesn't involve green juice or starvation of any kind? If you answered yes to any of these then you should probably meet Ayurveda's answer to all ailments: the warm, tasty goodness that is Kitchari.
Last night after some gentle Sunday slowga it occurred to me that I was craving a bowl of this stuff. It had been a while, and since we've been promising to mix up Mondays with some recipes, I decided to go full-hog and take pics.
Introducing MM Recipes! If you have a good one, send it to email@example.com with MM Recipe in the subject. And send us pics of the process!
So, what's Kitchari? It's a one-pot-stop Indian dish that contains everything you need nutritionally, while also going super easy on your digestive system. Week-long Kitchari cleanses—more accurately mono-diets, where you eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—are a common practice in Ayurveda to prepare the body for the strain of the changing seasons. They're usually done in the spring or the fall, but Kitchari is recommended anytime you feel like your system needs a little break or extra love.
If you google recipes you'll see there are all kinds of little variations, but I promise that almost anything goes here with spices as long as you add the fresh fixings (and enough salt) at the end.
The ingredients…
2 cups mung beans (the one bean known to be kind to all tummies), 1 cup basmati rice (I used brown this time), 1 tablespoon ghee* (very important!), teaspoon turmeric (anti-inflammatory and amazing), teaspoon fennel powder (I didn't have any this time), teaspoon asoetifida (a hard-to-find, slightly funky smelling spice that tastes a little like garlic and is known to help digestion). Sometimes I use onions, even though they're not technically part of the Kitchari recipe—in Ayurveda onions are generally a nono, but man do they add a nice flavor. Last but not least, fresh ginger, lemon or lime, fresh cilantro, and salt and pepper.
*Ghee is clarified butter, and you can find it at Whole Foods and most health food stores. It's also considered to be a healing ingredient, which is great because it adds a richness and sweetness to everything it touches.
Step by step…
1. Strain your mung beans and in a large pot, melt a tbsp of ghee. Throw in the beans and spices on medium heat and toss them around for a few minutes.
2. Now add your rice and do the same.
3. Cover with 4-6 cups water. You can always add water—or cook water off—later so don't worry about being exact here. You'll see in the pic that I also added chopped leaks at this stage—usually I would have done this right at the start but I didn't realize I had them!
4. Bring everything to a roaring boil and then lower heat to a simmer, keeping the pot covered for 15-20 minutes and then taking the cover off so that some of the water can boil off. It should take about 40 minutes give or take to fully cook, and depending on whether you want this to be a bit soupier or more substantial adjust water accordingly.
5. Season generously with salt and pepper.
6.Finally in your bowl, add another teaspoon or so of ghee, a squeeze of lime (or lemon), fresh cilantro, and freshly chopped or grated ginger. Probably a bit more salt too.
As I mentioned, if you add those to your bowl at the end, as long as you didn't burn your Kitchari it will taste amazing.
Have you ever tried Kitchari? How do you make yours?
Loving this post from Well+Good (apparently we're not the only ones on a major ayurvedic kick). Please tells us in the comments 1) what your dosha is (if you know it) and 2) what kind of exercise you do. Let's see who's balancing and who may be increasing like with like! We'll start.
Lots of things explain why you love insanely hot, slow Bikram sequences, while your best friend would rather be running the city streets on a 40-degree day.
But from an Ayurvedic perspective, the workout you're most drawn to may be the one your body needs the least. (Bummer!)
"Like increases like," says Ayurvedic expert Monica Bloom, author of the blog, Hey Monica B. "So, if you're a fiery, competitive person (a Pitta constitution in Ayurveda), you're going to want to literally race. But that will just add more fire. What you really need is to slow down, to create balance."
And certain times of year can really set off your dosha. Fall, for example, is Vata season according to Ayurveda, so you may feel more scattered and need some grounding yoga sessions. (And put your iPhone down more often.)
So what types of workouts do you and your dosha need? (You can find out your dosha here.) These are Bloom's workout recommendations for each dosha:
Monica Bloom, the Ayurvedic expert behind the blog, Hey Monica B.
1. VATA What you'll want to do: Run, cardio What you should do: Barre, Pilates, restorative yoga, strength training
"Vata people are go, go, go," says Bloom. So, stop. "They don't eat a lot and don't have great endurance, so what's good for them is a routine that's not too intense and is grounding." The concentrated, precise movements of a focused barre class, as opposed to running laps, for instance. Yoga is great for Vatas' characteristically tight muscles and creaky joints.
2. PITTA What you'll want to do: Competitive sports, triathlons What you should do: Bike riding, running, swimming, yoga
Pitta people are fiery and competitive, and Bloom says if you've ever passed out from exercise, you're probably one of them. (Most of us are way too lazy to take it that far). "Pittas should do something that's cooling and that they can enjoy alongside their more competitive sports," she says. "Riding a bike with the wind in their face or swimming without clocking your time are great options." Important: Don't. go. to. hot. yoga. (Spontaneous combustion may occur.)
File this under weird things I learned at the ashram (again), but I'm officially a tongue scrapring convert.
What's a tongue scraper, pray tell? While many of you may know—I didn't—it's a simple device used to remove the bacteria and buildup that likes to set up camp on the tongue. This film, which can go from clear to thick and white, yellow, or even greenish, can also speak volumes about our health. What's the first thing a doctor, eastern or western, usually asks to see? Exactly.
But when I told Durga, my ayurvedic consultant that I didn't need to scrape because I brushed my tongue with a toothbrush, she shuddered, explaining that the using the same tool to clean the tongue and teeth was ill advised.
In Ayurveda, the rituals of self maintenance are very clear: there are specific ways to clean the ears, the eyes, the tongue, the nose, and all the pathways, to maintain the body's balance. And for the tongue, it's a scraper.
This is the one that I use, though some folks just opt for a spoon, or the plastic ones you can get at the drugstore. If you are going to try tongue scraping, follow the instructions, and by all means, be very gentle with your tongue—the last thing you want to do is hurt the thing.
Onto the benefits…
1. Better breath. While there isn't a ton of research on tongue scrapers, clinical studies have shown that removing the bacteria, dead cells, food etc from the tongue does significantly help with bad breath. Most professionals suggest brushing the tongue to remove this stuff, the tongue scraper is just a more sophisticated tool for the same purpose.
2. Ayurveda says it removes ama. And ama is the toxic byproduct of improperly digested food. It is believed to lodge itself in the body creating blockages, but often it shows up on the tongue first. So in order to properly digest one's next meal, you need to remove this so-called sludge from your tongue. Because then, among other things…
3. You'll taste flavors more effectively. This is one of the most critical points for Ayurveda. Proper digestion begins with proper taste and salivation. It is believed the more you taste, the more consciously you will eat: You will appreciate the food, digest it better, hear your body when it's full, and so on. It's one of those simple ayurvedic prescriptions that just makes sense. Take the time, and have a clean tongue, to taste and appreciate your food.
4. It's good for your teeth. Like tongue brushing, because tongue scraping gets rid of nasty stuff in the mouth, it's also believed to help with general tooth and gum hygiene and health.
5. Your tongue is a diagnostic tool—so get to know it. Just like your skin, looking at your tongue can tell you a lot about your health. So a daily practice of consciously cleaning it—and not to get gross, but actually seeing what comes off of it as opposed to mindlessly brushing without really looking—puts you in direct contact with this diagnostic organ. For me, this is kind of the most important point. If you see significant change from one day to the other, you may discover which foods don't agree with you, or maybe you can just catch an imbalance before it gets too out of wack.
How much do you think about tongue health? Is cleaning it part of your daily routine?

These was during the Johto adventures. I'm not sure why there was a movie with a baby Lugia, but legendarie (excluding Manaphy with breeds to make a Phione) can't breed. So, bottom line, it was an older pokemon episode and Team Rocket was trying to nab Lugias child, and you can't forget, they're multiple Shaymins and the Anime and Video Game are two different branches of the Pokemon tree.

DD just had her first baby, and we had bought various packages of burp cloths. They are knitted and cute, but rather small, and they shrinked too. I cannot believe how small they are. Thank goodness I had made some double sided flannel burp cloths for her with the scraps from the receiving blanket I made. So she asked me to make a few more for her. Now I know what to make as a gift for new moms--sturdy, two-sided 100% cotton flannel burp cloths with a crocheted edge. Not a fancy gift, but sure appreciated. |

I found the store burp cloths were pretty bad too. I bought plain cloth diapers and used those. My friend appliques a design on hers and monograms them. |
Yep -- I bought two packages (for a total of 20, I think) of cloth diapers. They are something like 15" x 20". The only thing I wish they were was a different color. White is nice to hide the spit up, but it's no good when you are reaching for a burp cloth and don't know where there's a "land mine" on it. Ha! With 20 burp cloths I am able to have one or two in the living room, one near the glider in the nursery, one in her diaper bag, and one in her car seat, while changing them out as they become dirty... without having to do laundry every day. |

I have since bought cloth diapers and now am crocheting edging on them. Just a lot easier than making the flannel ones as I have eliminated needing to sew 2 pieces together. |
A friend made my DIL some burp cloths by decorating terry hand towels with sewn on trim. They lasted through 3 kids. They are not terribly cheap after you buy the towels and the trim but a really wonderflu shower gift! And you really don't have to decorate them just buy some hand towels ( not finger tip) in the colors of your choice. Linda C |

"If you wish to save the last of your dignity, do not call your best actions a 'sacrifice': that term brands you as immoral… If a man dies fighting for his own freedom, it is not a sacrifice…."
Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged", p. 1029 (HC)
We who fought in Vietnam were there for any number of reasons, not many thinking that he was fighting for his own freedom. My own reason for it was the adventure of the thing. Whatever the motivations may have been, it is true that there was a sacrifice—and that brand lies with the politicians and intelligentsia that landed America in Vietnam, not with the individual warrior.
"The black gash of shame and sorrow."
I see a lot of Vietnam Vets at Facebook, blogs et cetera posting things glorifying the Vietnam Veterans Memorial ("The Wall"). I cannot do that. I didn't like it in 1982 when it was built. And I do not like it now. It is a memorial to sacrifice.
"If you wish to save the last of your dignity, do not call your best actions a 'sacrifice': that term brands you as immoral… If a man dies fighting for his own freedom, it is not a sacrifice…."
Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged", p. 1029 (HC)
This wall is a memorial to sacrifice. The "purpose" of that wall, wrote the New Republic, is "to impress upon the visitor the sheer human waste, the utter meaninglessness of it all…To treat the Vietnam dead like some monstrous traffic accident is more than a disservice to history; it is a disservice to the memory of the 57,000 [killed in Vietnam]."
"….a V-shaped wall, period, a wall of polished black granite inscribed only with the names; no mention of honor, courage or gratitude; not even a flag. Absolutely skillproof, it was. Many veterans were furious. They regarded [Maya Ying Lin's] wall as a gigantic pitiless tombstone that said, "Your so-called service was an absolutely pointless disaster." They made so much noise that a compromise was struck. An American flag and statue would be added to the site. Hart was chosen to do the statue.
Naturally enough, Lin was miffed at the intrusion, and so a make-peace get-together was arranged in Plainview, N.Y., where the foundry had just completed casting the soldiers. Doing her best to play the part, Lin asked Hart — as Hart recounted it — if the young men used as models for the three soldiers had complained of any pain when the plaster casts were removed from their faces and arms. Hart couldn't imagine what she was talking about. Then it dawned on him. She assumed that he had followed the lead of the ingenious art worldling George Segal, who had contrived a way of sculpturing the human figure without any skill whatsoever: by covering the model's body in wet plaster and removing it when it began to harden. No artist of her generation (she was 21) could even conceive of a sculptor starting out solely with a picture in his head, a stylus, a brick of moist clay and some armature wire. No artist of her generation dared even speculate about . . . skill."
The Lives They Lived: Frederick Hart, b. 1943; The Artist the Art World Couldn't See

"Three Soldiers"
Frederick Hart
Bronze Sculpture
Heroes Against The Wall
Vietnam Veteran James Webb Jr., a Marine Platoon leader awarded the Navy Cross, resigned from the National Sponsoring Committee of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, to protest the memorial design. He said "I never in my wildest dreams imagined such a nihilistic slab of stone."
Tom Carhart, a veteran and outspoken opponent of the minimilistic design referred to it as "the black gash of shame and sorrow". it commemorates the war "as some ugly, dirty experience of which we were all ashamed." Cahart, a West Point graduate who led an infantry platoon of the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam, and received two Purple Hearts was in 1981 a civilian lawyer at the Pentagon.
Adm. James Stockdale, a prisoner of war awarded the Medal of Honor, also resigned.
The Marine Corps League withdrew its support for the memorial as insulting and denigrating those who came home from Vietnam and those who did not.
"Three Soldiers" by Frederick Hart
" A trio of tired soldiers…of warriors larger than life."
(Ellen Goodman, Boston Globe, 09/23/1982)
"Mr. Hart is a sculptor in the 'neo-traditional' mode, which means you can tell what the sculpture is about merely by looking at it. The three soldiers look like three soldiers, tired and heroic."
(Ben Wattenberg, The Washington Times, 08/12/1999)
"Hart captured in stone something vivid, urgent, and alive."
(David C. Adams, The Free Radical Online)
"…there is about them the physical contact and sense of unity that speaks of bonds of love….
And yet each one is alone. Their true heroism lies in these bonds of loyalty, in their aloneness, and in their vulnerability." (Frederick Hart)

I am considering 2 slightly differnet Carrier Infinity systems. They are as follows:
Size/Brand: 3 ton/ Carrier Infinity
Size/Brand: 3 ton/ Carrier Infinity
The Infinity 25HNB936A003 is listed as a 19 SEER, yet the contractor list it as 18 SEER when using the FE4ANF003
The home is 6 yrs old, 1600 sq. ft, located in Edgewater, FL. FPL give at $880 rebate on 18 SEER, while a 19 SEER has a $1005 rebate. The 19 SEER system is $375 more after the higher rebate. Is it worth the extra money? Is the SEER values correct? If the FE4ANB006 air handler a benefit or actually too much CFM? Any insight, advise, comments? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe it's just me, but I think your contractor needs to have his head examined to propose theFE4ANB006 with that HP, unless I'm missing something! SR |
fsq4cw - Thanks for your quick response. Can you expand upon your answer a bit? Is the SEER value based upon the condenser unit and air handler together? I am not an HVAC guy but everything did not sound right. This is a major purchase and I only have 1 chance to do it right. I need to make a decision quickly as my current 6 year old Amana system had a compressor failure. (I just bought the home in April.) Joebie57 |
Here is what I found on the AHRI Directory site. Both coils appear to be valid matches for the heat pump. The FEANB006 coil has better SEER (19) and HSPF (10.0) over the FEANB003 coil. This means you will be savings some energy costs in summer and winter. arirefnumber ModelNumber CoilModelNumber Capacity95FHigh EER95F SEER HighHeat47F HSPF LowHeat17F |
That's the 'theoretical' spec for this match. Personally I would not do a retrofit this way in my own home. I would prefer the F'003 'Sloped' coil with the cfm range between 200-1400cfm than the F006 'A' coil with the cfm range between 500-2000cfm. I feel this would provide better utility with a 3-ton HP and I prefer the way condensate drops out of the 'Sloped' coil to the 'A' coil. Sometimes you have to read beyond the specs. This is my interpretation, analysis and conclusion, however it's not the only one possible. I would only install the F006, maybe, if I were going to later put an addition on the house. Why not just install a Carrier Greenspeed system? SR |
I'm looking for the best option that is the most cost effective. I think the Carrier Greenspeed system is a sizable cost increase. Can you comment on the cost increase? Not sure if I would ever utilize the low temp heating benefit of the Greenspeed since I'm in Edgewater, FL (Near Daytona). Are there other benefits that I'm not aware of? I'm leaning towards the 003 system and it seems to be your choice, which helps. Thanks! |
Since you live in FL you may be quite right regarding the price increase of the Greenspeed since heating is not a priority. Greenspeed advantages may include quieter operation, less wear due to ability to operate at slower speeds, possibly even better humidity control and less costly to run. Whether this trumps the cost increase is certainly questionable. You could press for a fair price to consider the Greenspeed upgrade and the new Infinity WiFi thermostat as well if it's available. Don't forget the Carrier Fall rebates! That alone may provide a $230 advantage for the Greenspeed than for the 25HNB combo rebate. Don't forget to discuss the 10-year parts and labor warranties! SR |

Hi all,
I recently replaced my drive gear which was worn out. I now have a problem where the garage door reverses immediately after closing. The led on the garage door opener does not blink. I have tried: 1. Decreasing the down travel (couple of 360 degree turns clockwise but it didnt help)
I also tried to grasp the door while it was travelling downward but it continues to move down. It doesnt stop. There is no problem when it is travelling up. Could this be because of a balancing issue or just an adjustments problem. Thanks in advance for any tips. |

Take the cover off the opener and watch the limit switch assembly. I think the down limit is still not adjusted correctly. The correct adjustment for the down force is when the door consistently closes properly. Never increase it unless absolutely necessary. When the door hits the floor before the down limit is contacted the safety circuit in the logic board reverses the door to the open position. |

Ok, so the 18x zoom on the Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd may not be king of the hill anymore – what with Olympus unceremoniously knocking it off the top of the heap with their 20x SP-570. Still, even with ultrazooms enjoying a resurgence of manufacturer interest and consumer excitement of late – meaning lots of great new models to choose from – it's hard not to come away impressed by what Fuji's latest 10 megapixel offering brings to the table.
Some cameras just feel instantly familiar, and for me at least, the S8100fd is that camera. With a large, pronounced hand-grip, the S8100fd strikes a nice balance: smaller than even the smallest DSLRs, but with all of the ergonomic niceness of a good interchangeable-lens camera.
I would gladly trade the face detection and image stabilization dedicated buttons on the top deck for white balance and ISO controls, but otherwise the layout works well.
We came away unimpressed with Fuji's other new mid-priced ultrazoom, the ultra-small S1000fd, but some early shooting with the S8100fd suggests that these cameras could hardly be much more "night and day." Where the S1000 lagged behind, the S8100 seems quick and responsive. Where the smaller S model suffered some AF inconsistencies, initial testing shows its larger brother to be rock solid. Even the S1000fd's voracious AA appetite seems to be somewhat curbed, though it will take more shooting to know for sure how they stack up in this regard. Plus, the S8100fd sports sensor-shift image stabilization as well – a feature that should help the larger camera's "street cred" with serious shooters.
Of course, color and processing are classic Fuji, with lots of saturation and a slightly oversharp but very printable image look.
With all that the S8100fd does right from an ergonomics as well as a features standpoint, after a few days of shooting with the camera I've also come to see some of its limitations. The five-way controller feels a little flimsy, and a little small for those with larger fingers, and the S8100fd's menu-based interface is typical Fuji – it's a bit illogical in the way items are subdivided, but once you adapt to where things are housed shooting with the S8100 is no trouble.
Likewise, having P/A/S/M modes is a fantastic inclusion that gives the S8100fd the kind of power as a photographic tool that serious users will expect, but as is often the case with ultrazooms, the control arrangement in manual exposure modes leaves something to be desired. With its DSLR-like form factor, the addition of a small thumbwheel for controlling aperture and shutter speed seems like an obvious choice.
Beyond this, initial impressions of the Fuji's performance are overwhelmingly to the positive: auto focus feels snappy and responsive, and seems to work well across the zoom range and in low light. Of course, we'll be conducting our usual performance and image quality evaluations over the next week to get some more specifics on how the S8100fd stacks up; check back in for the whole story in our full review next week.

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — Ten alleged drug cartel members have been killed in a clash with Mexican soldiers in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, which borders the United States, the Mexican army has said.
Soldiers on patrol Friday in a rural area near the border area of Valle Hermoso found a camp of armed men, who opened fire on them.
In the shootout "10 presumed aggressors were killed," the Secretariat of National Defense said in a statement.
At the camp the soldiers found a rocket launcher, some 20 grenades, two grenade launchers, 24 rifles and a handgun, the statement read.
The Mexican government sent thousands of soldiers and police in November to crack down on drug trafficking violence and strengthen security in Tamaulipas and the nearby border state of Nuevo Leon.
At least three groups — the Zetas, the Sinaloa and the Gulf drug cartels — have been battling for control of area smuggling routes into the lucrative US market, and control of the local northeastern Mexico drug markets, officials said.
In the past months there have been several gun battles in Tamaulipas between armed criminals and the military.
And in November, some 400 residents of the Tamaulipas state border town of Ciudad Mier fled the town fearing drug violence.
Earlier, the candidate favored to win the office of state governor was gunned down before the July elections.
In August, the Zetas were blamed for the slaughter of 72 undocumented migrants from Central America who were heading to the United States.

Well, after being gone for over a week, we are home again! WooT! Yesterday (Tuesday) was our first day home, but it felt like Monday … probably because it was the first day getting back to a "normal" weekday. All day I kept thinking that it was Monday and that the NEXT day was Tuesday, to the point I almost forgot to write this post because I write my Wednesday posts on Tuesday night … so I thought I had another day. Oops! But, since you're reading this, obviously I caught it in time!
Next week starts the new Wednesday topic of "is there truth, and how can we know what it is?", but today, as the last in the current "Seek the things above" series, I wanted to tell you about a conversation that Tim and I had while we were driving together on our road trip to Boston last week. Although we never brought up this passage specifically, this is what it was about:
Our desire for our home – for ourselves and our house to serve the Lord … and goals and habits we need to do better about in that realm. Specifically, family Bible study. Tim has personal study that he does, and I have personal study that I do, and we talk about the Bible with our little daughter – but one thing we don't do enough of is Bible study together. I mean, we have Bible study together when we congregate with other Christians in worship, but we don't have set aside time for our own family Bible study at home. And that is something we both want to do better about.
We broke down the ways we want to study together in two basic types: topical (where we pick a certain topic, like prophecies of Jesus in the Old Testament, etc.) and textual (where we pick a certain section of the Bible, and study that part in greater detail.) So we decided to pick one topical study to do together and one textual … and we set aside some days for more personal study, and some days to study together.
Here is what we picked – for our topical study we will be studying together here in our home the same topic that is also going to be here on the blog on Wednesdays: How can we know what truth is? It is a topic we've both studied before, but never studied together, and I'm sure you'll hear about our discussions here on Wednesdays. :) And for our textual study we are going to be studying the book of Ephesians together.
I am very much looking forward to this! Currently we have various casual/spontaneous conversations together about Biblical topics and such, just from things that come up, but having a set aside time to study the Bible with each other is something that has been missing and that we want to do much better about.
That is one nice thing about road trips – it gives you lots of time to talk together and figure out things you want to improve and do better about. Aaaaand lots of time to be goofy and play road trip games … but that's a whole other post! ;)
I'd very much enjoy hearing what you are currently studying – whether individually, or with someone else!
Leave a comment below, I love to hear from you. :)

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Angel, a Plano Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Plano, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Plano.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Plano already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Plano breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Plano paves the way for another one to be saved.

I used to wash out my ziplock lunch baggies and re-use them. Even had DH make me a small stand with dowels that stood out to hold the baggies open to dry.
But I started realizing how much water I was wasting by hand washing them. Now I just use plastic containers that I can put in the dishwasher and I don't buy baggies any more. (I had read that the dishwasher uses less water than hand washing.) What is your opinion? |
Follow-Up Postings:
We use plasticware for everything in packed lunches, not just sandwiches, but we wash them by hand. I never wash anything made of plastic in the dishwasher - which is why my 30+ year old Tupperware is still being used today. When we do use a plastic bag, it's washed with the dishes in the sink, rinsed, dried and reused. I just read recently where Energy Star DWs use 4-gallons of water and non-Energy Star can use 6-7-gallons. A typical use of water for hand-washing is 5-7 gallons. So, you do the math for how much water you would use doing dishes by hand based on approx. how much water you think you use. I can beat the Energy Star DW water use....it's not as convenient, but it conserves more water than using a DW once a day. After every meal (or 2-3 times a day) we wash dishes that don't go in the DW, and for general clean-up after a meal, in 1-gallon of water. We only run a full load of dishes in the DW every 3-4 days. So even using 2-3 gallons a day for dishes, it still beats running a DW once a day. 1. I have to run SOME water after a meal ANYWAY for washing things that don't go in the DW and general clean-up. 2. We use "saved" water (save it from the cold water that runs in the shower before the water gets hot) for washing dishes by hand. 3. We use a small plastic tub in the sink, rather than filling a large sink with several unnecessary gallons of water. 4. Heat 5-cups of saved water in an ELECTRIC kettle, which only takes a couple minutes, if that. An electric kettle heats water faster than a kettle on the stove or a microwave because the heating element is in contact with the water. This also saves the hot water heater having to kick on for a small amount of hot water, and the wasted cold water that goes down the drain waiting for the water to get hot. 5. Put the hot water in the plastic tub along with approx. 5-cups of cold water (also from the saved 1-gallon of water) and a very small amount of soap. 6. Use the remaining 6-cups of water from the gallon for rinsing the dishes. (16-cups of water in a gallon) -Grainlady |

I won't reuse them, i don't think you can get them clean enough |
You don't need a full sink of water to wash one zipper bag as Grainlady alluded. And I'm not sure that a few potato chips or a sandwich would require that much sanitizing for a bag to be washed and reused. Plastic wrap would be cheaper. My dad's lunch was wrapped mostly in wax paper and would be brought home and reused. Nobody uses wax paper anymore. I still like it for a lot of things. Solid containers would be easier to wash, dry and for that matter sanitize if you feel the need. They'd last longer so in the long run, if you continue to use them, they'd pay for themselves. You could also use the infamous margarine/dairy topping tubs too. One of the small margarine cups used to fit a large donut perfectly. Saw a guy at work with that and I thought it was a great idea. No real cost involved, EASY to wash and dry, and I'd have several so I didn't have to wash it each day. Or I'd give it a rinse and wipe it and use it. The dairy topping (ala "Cool Whip") tubs work great for salads. A lot depends on your typical menu. |
You run a bucket of hot water (plus deterg.?) ... just to wash one baggie?? When, over period, you've accumulated 50 baggies ... ... all washed ... ... and just waiting to be used ... ... whadda ya *do* with 'em?? I'll use the margarine tubs to store regular stuff in the frig. ... but when it comes to tomatoes, etc. which are acidic ... I prefer to use a soup bowl, etc. as I'm not sure that I want the acids leaching stuff that might be nefarious out of the plastic buckets. I also prefer washing them to washing the baggies. I know what to do with the round tubes that held frozen juices, after washing - stick pencils, pens in 'em on the desk. Put candies, peanuts, etc. in 'em, for handy use near the computer. Stick an individual plastic yogurt cup in the top, if bothered by flying bugs, moths, etc. ole joyful |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The EU Is Tough On Minsk, But Easy On Baku
zerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev (right) and
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso
shook hands in Baku last week after signing a gas
January 19, 2011
Someone should tell the leaders of the European Union to stop pushing
around Belarus dictator Alyaksandr Lukashenka.
After all, next week European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso
will meet with Islam Karimov of Uzbekistan. And last week the same
Barroso visited Azerbaijan and met with Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev, whose human rights record is comparable to that of his Uzbek
counterpart. And the same week, the EU extended an invitation to
President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov of Turkmenistan to visit
Brussels and discuss energy and trade cooperation.
What makes Lukashenka any different from the dictators mentioned
above? After all, you can't blame him because Belarus doesn't have any
oil or natural gas.
`Dynamic' Society
It's no secret certain post-Soviet countries look very different when
European leaders view them through the prism of oil and gas. "I know
that your country has a very dynamic society," Barroso told Aliyev
during his Baku visit.
Dynamic? Maybe. But you wouldn't know it by considering that every
single election there has been rigged since 1993, when Aliyev's
father, Heydar Aliyev, overthrew the democratically elected government
and became head of state in what observers from the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Council of Europe described
as a coup.
You wouldn't know it by considering that Azerbaijan's government has
consistently scored abysmally on the corruption ratings of
Transparency International and President Aliyev has been listed as a
predator of journalists by media watchdog groups.
Dynamic, indeed.
Last month, Lukashenka caused an uproar in the EU and triggered talks
of possible sanctions with a brutal postelection crackdown. He might
have taken his cue from Aliyev, who did precisely the same thing in
both 2003 and 2005.
The Endless Presidency
In March 2009, Aliyev altered the constitution (through a managed
referendum, of course) to abolish term limits for the presidency and
setting the stage for him to "run" endlessly for president. When a
journalist from EuroNews asked him recently if he considers himself a
king, Aliyev simply shook his head. But it is hard to imagine what
powers a king might have that Aliyev does not.
Yet Lukashenka is a ruthless dictator to be shunned by good European
society, while Aliyev is a true friend presiding over a "dynamic"
The EU needs alternative energy routes, and the gas deal for a
"southern corridor" through Azerbaijan makes a lot of economic sense.
>From the economic point of view, cooperation with Turkmenistan and
Uzbekistan also makes sense.
By why not restrict relations to the framework and rhetoric of the
necessary cooperation? Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and other countries
have hydrocarbons to offer and the EU has the cash to pay. So is it
really necessary for European officials to clap their arms around the
shoulders of authoritarian rulers and spout nonsense about their
"dynamic" development?
Why must Barroso make the gratuitous comment that "we want to make
clear that our relations are not limited to oil and gas" when everyone
knows that 98 percent of EU imports from Azerbaijan are oil and gas?
Adding Insult To Injury
It has been said before but, obviously, it needs to be said again.
When EU leaders make high-profile visits to such countries and praise
their rulers, they add highly valued political capital to these
commercial transactions. The authoritarians conclude that they have
the EU in their pockets as long as they are willing to take European
money. Lacking legitimacy from their own people, they happily take
scraps of legitimacy from the lips of people like Barroso.
This is a game the authoritarians are happy to play. After all, the EU
is an example to citizens of countries like Azerbaijan of a strikingly
different political model. So the "energy dictatorships" feel the need
to discredit it, to show their people that Europe's talk of democracy
and human rights is just a veneer of lies.
When they shake hands with top EU officials like Barroso, they send
the message that past criticism (mostly from European organizations)
never mattered and has been forgotten. In Azerbaijan's case, the
message is even worse. Aliyev has repeatedly argued that "some
countries" manipulate issues of democracy in order to force Azerbaijan
to make economic concessions. When EU officials sign deals and talk
about "dynamic" Azerbaijan, everyone in that country understands that
democracy, rigged elections, arrested journalists, and beaten
demonstrators are just bargaining chips to get cheaper gas and oil. At
least, that what Baku wants everyone in Azerbaijan to think.
And it doesn't help that when Barroso held a joint press conference
with Aliyev in Baku, none of the country's independent media outlets
were present. Later, when Barroso held an individual briefing
organized by the EU office in Baku, journalists' questions were
screened in advance.
Why would the EU participate in this Kabuki dance with the Azerbaijani
Here are some noncommercial facts for the EU to think about. Eynulla
Fatullayev is an Azerbaijani journalist who was arrested in 2007 on
trumped up charges because the two newspapers he founded were critical
of the government. He was sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison on
charges of libel, slander, inciting terrorism, and tax evasion.
Last year, the European Court of Human Rights cleared him of all
charges and directed Azerbaijan to release him and compensate him in
the amount of 28,000 euros. In anticipation of this ruling,
Azerbaijan's Supreme Court quickly convicted him of new charges of
drugs possession and additional tax evasion. He remains in prison
The Strasbourg-ordered compensation was paid to a bank account that
had been frozen because of Fatullayev's imprisonment, allowing Baku to
claim it had complied with the court ruling while ensuring that
Fatullayev cannot receive the money.
Barroso claimed he discussed the case with Aliyev. "The European Court
of Human Rights has ruled in his favor and I have argued for his
release," Barroso said. "And these matters, I brought them, in the
spirit of openness and friendship, very clearly to the attention of
President Aliyev."
On January 21, Baku's Appeals Court will consider Fatullayev's appeal
for his release. It will make a good test for Barroso's friends in
And here's another example of the extreme cynicism with which the
Azerbaijani government treats its European partners.
More than a year ago, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe (PACE) named a special rapporteur for political prisoners in
Azerbaijan, German Social Democrat Christoph Straesser. However
Straesser has not been given an invitation by the Azerbaijani
government to visit the country and implement his mandate.
The Council of Europe has asked Baku to resolve the problem, but to no
avail. Straesser will probably get his invitation around the same time
Fatullayev gets his compensation.
Lukashenka may get sanctions; Aliyev will have the last laugh.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 A Psalm of David. To thee, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the Pit. | 1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit. |
2 Hear the voice of my supplication, as I cry to thee for help, as I lift up my hands toward thy most holy sanctuary. | 2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. |
3 Take me not off with the wicked, with those who are workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors, while mischief is in their hearts. | 3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts. |
4 Requite them according to their work, and according to the evil of their deeds; requite them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward. | 4 Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back upon them what they deserve. |
5 Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, or the work of his hands, he will break them down and build them up no more. | 5 Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again. |
6 Blessed be the LORD! for he has heard the voice of my supplications. | 6 Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy. |
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. | 7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. |
8 The LORD is the strength of his people, he is the saving refuge of his anointed. | 8 The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. |
9 O save thy people, and bless thy heritage; be thou their shepherd, and carry them for ever. | 9 Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever. |

Product Description
This tiny ceramic pot was made by Lynn Jenkins of Seneca, SC. Lynn started potting as a teenager in 1976, and clay has been a part of her life ever since.
The black pots are hand burnished with a smooth stone to give them their shine. There is no glaze on the pot--it is made of white clay, and it is the firing process that turns it black. It is fired in a gas kiln for several hours, and then it is fired in newspaper for several more hours. While firing in the newspaper the clay absorbs carbon from the burning and turns black!
Note: these pots are not waterproof.
Lynn hopes you enjoy the energy she passes to you with her pottery!

Cleveland Public Works is widening the travel lanes on Michigan Avenue Road between Stuart Road and Benton Pike from 10 feet to 11 feet. The city department is currently installing a series of pipes and catch basins for stormwater drainage and filling in the open ditches and adding shoulders a foot wide on each side.
In the rest of the city, all of the streets on the 2013 paving list in the 5th Council District are paved. The remaining are all in the 3rd Council District with the exception of three streets delayed by utility work. They are Eugenia Avenue N.W., District 1; Bowman Avenue, District 2; and Elm Drive N.W. in District 4. All of those streets should be resurfaced by the end of October.
Streets in the 3rd District include Ohio Avenue N.W., Georgetown to 17th; Everhart Drive N.W., Harrison Pike to 18th; Huntcliff Drive N.W., Everhart to Hillmont; Hillmont Place N.W., Everhart to Dead End; Knollwood Drive N.W., Everhart to 17th; Knollwood Circle N.W., Knollwood to Knollwood; Rockland Court N.W., Huntcliff to Dead End; 17th Street N.W., Ohio to Everhart; 18th Street N.W., Ohio to Everhart; 20th Street N.W., Ohio to Everhart. All of those streets will not be paved until spring.
The city awarded the $1.4 million paving contract to Talley Construction of Rossville, Ga., in late May. The company bid $80 per ton, a $4 increase above the FY2012 contract.
The annual priority list is based on inspections and evaluations in each of the five City Council districts. In each district, streets with structural deficiencies are given first priority.
So far, Talley Construction has put down 10,855 tons of asphalt at a cost of $860,454.

40-year-old actress Ashley Judd (photo:Richard Drew/AP) is calling for an end to the mining practice known as mountaintop removal. The Kentucky native described "barren moonscapes" and "nothingness" where Appalachian peaks once rose skyward. Kathy Stein, a Democratic state senator from Lexington, is sponsoring legislation that would bar coal companies from filling valleys with the soil and rock from the mountaintops. Ashley was also in the news recently for another issue concerning the environment in Alaska.
Ashley Judd was a spokesperson for the environmental group Defenders of Wildlife, in their campaign to stop aerial wolf hunting in Alaska, which was supported by Governor Sarah Palin and some members in the Alaska Outdoor Council. Ashley argued that traditional hunting on the ground by local communities was good enough to control the wolf population, but killing them using helicopters would invite trophy-hunting outsiders to play havoc with the natural balance of prey and predator species in Alaska.
Judd is also passionate about organic farming, sex education in the developing world, and AIDS prevention. Ashley became YouthAIDS global ambassador in 2002 and as part of her duties calls donors to ask for money, happily meets with foreign leaders, and goes into rural areas in developing countries to talk to prostitutes and young girls about safe sex.
AS a young girl herself Ashley led a hectic life, attending 13 different schools in 12 years and alternately living with her mother Naomi Judd, then her father Michael Ciminella, and her grandparents. To compensate for this chaotic childhood, Ashley says she became a "hyper-vigilant child" who was faultless in every way, and later went into depression, isolation and co-dependent relationships. The star of thrillers like Kiss the Girls and Double Jeopardy, then got treatment for her depression at a Texas treatment center, and has since improved her friendships and her 6-year marriage to 35-year-old racecar driver Dario Franchitti.
Beautiful Ashley Judd is on the board of the Population Services International (PSI) which delivers health goods and services to poor in developing countries. She told Men's Health magazine, "My life is lessened every time a person dies of a preventable disease."
