In this article I discuss the emergence of Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) within American psychiatry and beyond in the postwar period, setting out what I believe to be important and suggestive questions neglected in existing scholarship. Tracing the nomenclature within successive editions of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), I consider the reification of the term 'FSD', and the activism and scholarship that the rise of the category has occasioned. I suggest that analysis of FSD benefits from scrutiny of a wider range of sources (especially since the popular and scientific cross-pollinate). I explore the multiplicity of FSD that emerges when one examines this wider range, but I also underscore a reinscribing of anxieties about psychogenic aetiologies. I then argue that what makes the FSD case additionally interesting, over and above other conditions with a contested status, is the historically complex relationship between psychiatry and feminism that is at work in contemporary debates. I suggest that existing literature on FSD has not yet posed some of the most important and salient questions at stake in writing about women's sexual problems in this period, and can only do this when the relationship between 'second-wave' feminism, 'post-feminism', psychiatry and psychoanalysis becomes part of the terrain to be analysed, rather than the medium through which analysis is conducted.

Local high schools have already taken steps to ensure healthy portion sizes and to limit additional salt in food.
The new nutrition requirements formulated by the USDA as part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, limit high school lunches to a 750-850 calorie range. A range of 450-600 is given for high school breakfast.
Before the new specifications were put in place, there were no federal calorie maximums school lunches.
The required calorie range is different for each grade. To keep lunches within the required calorie range, school lunches are served in predetermined portions, Bradley County Schools supervisor of nutrition services Emily Brown said.
Cleveland City Schools supervisor of nutrition services Susan Perrin said the majority of meals fall in the middle of the allowable range.
Throughout the first month of school, Brown visited schools and observed how students responded to the changes.
"I'm watching our serving lines, seeing what the children are focusing on and making changes from there," Brown said.
Because of changes in calorie requirements, some high school students feel their school lunch has shrunk.
"This year there are smaller portions and the price has gone up," Tiffany Smith, a senior at Bradley Central High School, said.
The price lunch at her school, and Walker Valley High School, increased 5 cents this school year. Bradley County school high school lunches cost $2.35. (Those in the free and reduced lunch program pay less.)
Smith said the portions were not large enough to keep a high school student from getting hungry.
The website ChooseMyplate.gov, which follows the same nutrition guidelines from which the new standards are based, recommends a calorie intake of 2,200 calories for high school male students, who moderately exercise less than 30 minutes most days. For high school females in the same category, the recommendation is 1,800 calories.
If a student eats breakfast and lunch at school, they consume 1,200 to 1,450 of their daily calories at school.
Perrin said the portions have not necessarily gotten smaller, but how the calories are broken down in the meal have changed. Fruits and vegetables are a big focus of the new standards.
At the Bradley County high schools, fruits and vegetables are served in half-cup servings, which give students more variety of choice in the fruits and vegetables they consume.
Students can choose three components to make a reimbursable meal, meaning the school system will receive money back from the state.
"It's up to the child. Offer versus serve really gives them a lot of options. In the high school level, we have worked with them from kindergarten all the way up to now on making healthy choices, not just why you should pick it for your health, but we want healthy lifestyle choices for the rest of your life," Brown said.
Sodium is also a health concern under the new requirements. The first target for sodium limits is 1,420 grams of sodium or less for high school lunches by the year 2014 to 2015.
Salt shakers have also been removed at Cleveland High School and Bradley Central High School. Walker Valley is in the process of doing the same.
"As I watch the line (at Walker Valley), very few people actually use the salt shakers," Brown said.
A way both public school systems have started working toward lowering sodium choices is using low sodium seasonings.
Perrin said the school system has also started using low sodium vegetables.
"So many of the foods we eat everyday, we don't realize they already have sodium in them," Perrin said.
Because of this taste buds have come to expect these higher levels, she said.
At Bradley Central High School, other steps have already been taken to transition students to lower salt meals.
Smith said she can taste a difference, and is not enjoying the lower salt content. Some of her classmates have brought salt from home to use on cafeteria food. Others have stopped buying school lunch all together, and have starting bringing their food to school.
Since the changes to the school lunch, Smith, who leaves school during fourth period for work, often grabs something at the nearest fast-food restaurant on her way. Other days she fills up on the a la carte snack options, which do not have as many limits on them.
She said she has not discussed her concerns with the school, but has talked to her parents a little bit about it.
Bradley County parents can often see what choices their student had available for lunch by visiting the Bradley County Schools Child Nutrition Facebook page.
While some students may find the transition to the new standards a difficult one, most students are embracing the healthy options.
"What I'm seeing is they're choosing the fruit or vegetable and that is automatically lowering the sodium content," Brown said.
"I've just been amazed how they are really drawn to the fresh fruit and vegetables. It's going very well."
Brown said the suppliers of food to the school system would be supplying foods with lower sodium as the new requirements take effect.
"Fryless Fridays" have also been introduced in the Bradley County high schools.
At Walker Valley, the fries have been replaced with apple slices served in fry containers with caramel sauce available for dipping.
While not directly regulated by the USDA standards for school lunches, specific requirements for snacks offered during lunch (a la carte options) have not changed.
Brown said the new standards have eliminated some snack options from the cafeteria, because all cafeteria options must have 0 grams trans fat.
Vending machines cannot be available during lunchtime per state law. Snacks are also available to Bradley Central students through the school store.
Although not regulated by school nutrition standards, those running the store are working on plans to have healthier options available.
Perrin said snacks have not changed at Cleveland High School, but she thinks regulation may be placed on the snacks offered in the cafeteria in the future.
Condiments are another element of school lunches that are being effected.
"We are held accountable for every calorie that goes on that tray, and condiments do add a lot of calories," Perrin said. "They are having to be very careful."
In the Bradley County high schools, students are given a limited amount of sauces.
Brown said students are given two packs of ketchup. Students can purchase more at an additional price.

Hello, I am wondering what you all have to do with the G-Gee release of "Dungeon Quest" on Android.
I love the idea of having more of your boardgames on Android devices, but this one appeared and then disappeared off of the Google Play store. I still have it installed, and there are a few issues I have with it.
1) It's no where near the polish that you all have exhibited on titles like Elder Sign: Omens and Hey! That's My Fish. It has a clunky social network login that is required when you first launch the "game", then you have a button to press to actually launch the game itself. Bleh. Then you are bombared with about 7 "Connecting to Network" messages before you actually get to the menu, to choose the style of game.
2) I have no problem with the other modes using IAP's of some sort to drive the game, since the original download was free. However, I'd much prefer it in the style that you all have done your other games in. I also hate that Dungeon Quest must always have an internet connection to run, when it's mostly solo affair (I believe even the "Original" mode, which replicates the board game exactly, only allows 1 player, and fills in any others with CPU players, which is horrible imo. Should allow for additional real players, pass-n-play or online).
3) Is this really something you licensed to an outside developer? I ask because it just seems like the typical kind of "crap" card games out on the market now, that are mostly "pay to win". Like I said, there is so much polish to Elder Sign: Omens and Hey! That's My Fish, something of this level almost tarnishes the FFG name, if people start to associate apps like "Dungeon Quest" with you all.
The game is no longer on the Google Play store, however. I have no idea why. G-Gee/GMO has not responded to any posts or messages via Facebook, and I cannot find any other information anywhere about the game. Hoping someone here might have some info on it.

Nordic Nirvana
All it took was one good snowfall Monday for the Nordic & Snowshoe Center at the luxurious Sun Valley Club to turn the welcome sign to "open." And reports from the trails indicate some of the best early conditions in recent memory.
For those who aren't aware of the importance of cross-country skiing to Sun Valley's mountain culture and lifestyle, it is worth noting that we have been christened Nordic Town USA and the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation was recently designated as a U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Site. Many around these parts take their Nordic pursuits very seriously because there is no better place to get outside and embrace winter.
But you need not be a world-class athlete or serious enthusiast to enjoy Sun Valley's magical terrain. The Nordic & Snowshoe Center and Sun Valley Club offer something for everyone. For a low impact, no-instruction-needed way to take in the scenery, many guests and locals alike enjoy snowshoeing. All that is required are some decent, weatherproof boots, a few sensible layers, and sunscreen. For a twist on this activity, the Center offers weekly historic snowshoe hikes. Sun Valley's rich story and landmarks, from the first chairlift, to the Hemingway Memorial, and everything in between, come alive during this entertaining and informative two-hour tour.
If you are interested in cross-country skiing, many opportunities exist to learn basic technique or to move to the next level on the 40 km of trails. Each day of the season at 10 a.m., the pros at the Nordic Center offer an introduction to classic skiing, a great way to get started. At 2 p.m. daily there is a class in the popular skate ski technique. Those interested should register at least a day ahead and each group has a two-person minimum. Private lessons are also available by appointment.
Instructor Steve Haims addressed the "intimidation" factor of the sport. "You don't have to love cardio to love cross-country skiing," he explained. "You can go your own speed and people can enjoy classic skiing from day one. Come in, rent your gear, chat with us about the different trails, take a lesson. Chances are, you will love the peace and beauty."
And during your Sun Valley stay, it is absolutely possible to enjoy both alpine and cross-country skiing. In fact, according to Ivana Radlova, Nordic Director at Sun Valley, it is fun and beneficial to intersperse both. "If your legs are tired from skiing powder, it is a great day to do some classic or skate skiing," she explained. "You will recover much more quickly than if you sit on the couch."
The Sun Valley Club is also for those who would like a day to simply relax. Serving one of the tastiest and most popular lunches in the Valley, and offering a full bar, the gorgeous Club invites all to eat, drink and enjoy the unmatched views. From the inviting fireplace in the lobby, to year-round virtual golf, to a shop that offers not only sports gear, but clothing and accessories of all kinds, a trip to the Sun Valley Club will please everyone in your group.
Call (208) 622-2250 for more information, or just drive a half-mile east of the Sun Valley Lodge to enjoy everything offered by this world-class facility.

David Chipperfield Architects' new 8,000 sq m Anchorage Museum Expansion will open to the public on 30 May 2009.
The organisation of the new building is based on five linear volumes of varying length and height arranged along the western face of the existing building. This arrangement forms a new gleaming facade and entrance facing downtown Anchorage. The new building offers windows through which the activity of the museum can be observed. The visitor, from within, is re-oriented to the city context and its extraordinary natural setting beyond. The glass facade of the new four-storey building is fritted with a striped mirror pattern, providing views out of and into the museum and reflecting the sky and surrounding mountainous environment.
The interior design concept exposes the concrete structure as part of the character of the internal spaces. Walls are constructed between columns to establish a series of rooms within the new building. The main public spaces – the entrance lobby, circulation atrium, cafe, and exhibition spaces – use different colours and materials to give each its own identity. Windows have been positioned in all non-exhibition spaces and some exhibition spaces.
The Anchorage Museum Expansion will also house the Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center, exhibiting 600 Alaska Native ethnographic artefacts from the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History and National Museum of the American Indian. The new common created in front of the museum will provide a new public space for downtown Anchorage.

oai |
The Open Archives Initiative (OAI) is an attempt to build a "low-barrier interoperability framework" for archives (institutional repositories) containing digital content (digital libraries). It allows people (Service Providers) to harvest metadata (from Data Providers). This metadata is used to provide "value-added services", often by combining different data sets. Initially, the initiative has been involved in the development of a technological framework and interoperability standards specifically for enhancing access to e-print archives, in order to increase the availability of scholarly communication; OAI is, therefore, closely related to the Open access publishing movement. However, the developed technology and standards are applicable in a much broader domain than scholarly publishing alone. The OAI technical infrastructure, specified in the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), currently in version 2.0, defines a mechanism for data providers to expose their metadata. This protocol mandates that individual archives map their metadata to the Dublin Core, a simple and common metadata set for this purpose. In other words, the relation of OAI compatibility to Dublin Core is that OAI standards allow a common way to provide content, and part of those standards is that the content has metadata that describes the items in Dublin Core format. OAI has recently begun work on the Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) project which defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of Web resources.

ahds |
The Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS) was a United Kingdom national service aiding the discovery, creation and preservation of digital resources in and for research, teaching and learning in the arts and humanities. It was established in 1996 and ceased operation in 2008 (although the website and related digital collections are still accessible). Organised via a Managing Executive at King's College London and five AHDS Centres, hosted by various UK Higher Education Institutions, the AHDS was funded until the end of March 2008 by the Joint Information Systems Committee and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). However, in March 2007 the AHRC decided to cease funding for the AHDS beyond March 2008. As a result, the AHDS is now advising AHRC applicants to ensure their projects include a budget for the costs of preservation and sustainability (whether with the AHDS or another service). Following the sad demise of AHDS, and the cessation of the Methods Network, the Centre for e-Research (CeRch) was established at King's College London in 2008. The Centre's aims are to facilitate interdisciplinary, institutional, national and international collaboration.

university of cambridge |
The University of Cambridge is a public research university in Cambridge, England. It is the second-oldest university in both England and the English-speaking world, and the seventh-oldest globally. In post-nominals the university's name is abbreviated as Cantab, a shortened form of Cantabrigiensis (an adjective derived from Cantabrigia, the Latinised form of Cambridge). The university grew out of an association of scholars in the city of Cambridge that was formed in 1209, early records suggest, by scholars leaving Oxford after a dispute with townsfolk. The two "ancient universities" have many common features and are often jointly referred to as Oxbridge. In addition to cultural and practical associations as a historic part of British society, they have a long history of rivalry with each other. Academically Cambridge ranks as one of the top universities in the world: first in the world in both the 2010 and 2011QS World University Rankings, sixth in the world in the 2010-2011 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, and fifth in the world (and first in Europe) in the 2010 Academic Ranking of World Universities. Cambridge regularly contends with Oxford for first place in UK league tables. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: University of Cambridge) Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: 6.7%. |

Temperature Tests
With the TES 1326 Infrared Thermometer literally in hand we found ourselves getting real-world temperatures from the products we test at load (3D clock speeds).
There are two places we pull temperature from - the back of the card directly behind the core and if the card is dual slot and has an exhaust point we also pull a temperate from there, as seen in the picture.
Even compared to the Sapphire video card which uses its own cooling solution, the ASUS offering is able to output a very impressive number which equates to almost 20% cooler.
Sound Tests
Pulling out the TES 1350A Sound Level Meter we find ourselves quickly yelling into the top of it to see how loud we can be.
After five minutes of that we get a bit more serious and place the device two CM away from the fan on the card to find the maximum noise level of the card when idle (2D mode) and in load (3D mode).
Fortunately the coolness doesn't come at the cost of any more noise. It still manages to perform below the NVIDIA offerings.

Hi, I'm Kelly and we're backstage at the Christian Siriano show. I'm here with Polly Osmond and she's going to tell us about the look she created for the show.
So, based from the Magicians theme. So we're doing gold in the eyes and gold lips. So that's kind of the really predominant color and then just take in black eyeliner underneath. We're using. Victoria's Secrets' Blackest Black. Black. Black. Black. And, then highlighting the cheeks with Champagne with this color. And then just slightly contouring with the bronzer and keeping the teases like Max. And then just keeping the [unknown] gold lips.
Love it. Thank you so much.

Innovative Thinkers Camp
Innovative Thinkers Camp is open to Michiana area seventh- through ninth-graders. The camp is sponsored by numerous Notre Dame departments, as well as Intel, Lenovo, the Lincoln Division of Ford Motor Company, the Pfeil Innovation Center, and local community agencies and organization
In addition to helping area students explore their potential, the camp also aims to cultivate a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in the Michiana region by nurturing the pipeline that feeds local economic development. This experience is designed for students to participate over three consecutive summers:
Year one, rising seventh graders will focus on learning about entrepreneurship and the skills necessary for individual success;
Year two, rising eighth graders will focus on project-based learning and will develop the competencies needed to be an effective member of a team;
Year three, as rising ninth graders, students will polish the skills acquired in the previous two summers with a capstone project that incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines and sustainability.
For more information, contact Jacquelyn Rucker, Associate Director, Community Relations, University of Notre Dame, 574-631-3249.
Engaged, Invested, and Committed to K-12 Education in South Bend – Imagination, Innovation, Discovery and Design (I2D2)
Why do things work the way they do? And how can we make them work better? Engineers and scientists ask and search for answers to questions like these everyday. And on September 3, 2010, at Notre Dame's Technological Discovery Day, 350 fifth-grade students from the South Bend Community School Corporation had the opportunity to work with Notre Dame students in the Colleges of Engineering and Science to ask and answer these same questions.
At the Technological Discovery Day's "I2D2 – Imagination, Innovation, Discovery and Design at Notre Dame," South Bend grade school children met for over three hours at the University's Stepan Center, where they worked with engineering & science students on two active learning projects:
- The Irish Pet Project: South Bend fifth-graders worked side-by-side with Notre Dame engineering students to brainstorm ideas for toy robotic pets that would be built using the LEGO®Mindstorms® NXT system. Then, at a later date, the future engineers will build the toys and demonstrate them at South Bend schools.
- The 2010 Domer Freewheeling Derby: This time, the fifth-graders had the opportunity to work with the engineering students to design, build, and race LEGO® vehicles.
Thanks to the generosity of sponsors like Innovation Park at Notre Dame, LEGO®, David and Denise Brenner, Barnes and Thornburg, Emu Solutions, STEM City, Konica Minolta, and Graham Allen Partners, the fifth-graders also received lunch, a tour of the Notre Dame campus, and their very own LEGO® kit. Most importantly, they also took with them what it means to work as a member of a team, a basic understanding of how scientists and engineers test their ideas and, hopefully, were inspired by the newfound knowledge of the educational options available to them in engineering and the sciences.
Workshop Day –Oct. 22, 2010 Notre Dame JACC Field House
- Introduction to fluid power
- Building a pneumatic lifter
- Receive challenge information and judging criteria
Presented by Larry Davis –Daman Products
Challenge Day – Dec. 3, 2010 Notre Dame Stepan Center
- Construction and Testing of prototype
- Competition
Sixty seventh and eighth grade students and their teachers from nine South Bend intermediate centers participated in a National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) Fluid Power Challenge held at the University of Notre Dame on December 3, 2010. This event was sponsored by SBCSC Career and Technical Education, Daman Products Company, Inc., Notre Dame, General Sheet Metal Works, L.L. Geans Construction Co., and Barnaby's Pizza-South Bend. The competition challenged students to solve an engineering problem using fluid power.
To prepare for the competition, 15 teams of four students each designed and built a fluid power mechanism to perform a specific task. The students used hydraulics and pneumatics to power mechanisms that picked up weighted objects and placed them on a platform. On the challenge day, they competed against other teams in a timed competition to rebuild their mechanism.
Winners of the Fluid Power Challenge include:
Overall Champion: Team 7, Greene Intermediate Center
- Team Challenge Champion: Team 13, Jackson Intermediate
- Center Portfolio Champion: Team 5, LaSalle Intermediate Academy
- Design Champion: Team 3, Edison Intermediate Center
- Teamwork Champion: Team 14, Jackson Intermediate Center

This piece is part of The Frisky's How To Deal Week, in which we're tackling mental health issues.
A week before my high school graduation, my doctor told me that I had to go to the hospital.
My weight had fallen too low, my EKG results were scary, and my continued refusal to eat was putting my life in danger. While my classmates went to college orientation, I went to nutrition counseling and group therapy. For two years I had faithfully obeyed the voice in my head that told me that if I ate more than the acceptable amount of food (an amount that kept getting smaller and smaller), I would be weak, my body and the world would spin out of control, and something terrible would happen. And yet something terrible was happening anyway.
I was losing every bit of control over my life, and goals I had spent years working towards — a scholarship to an elite college, freedom from my family and small town — were slipping from my grasp. I realized there was something I feared even more than the voice in my head, and I started to fight back. I obeyed the nutritionist even when my mind told me it couldn't possibly be okay to eat this much food. I started to gain weight. And in the fall I enrolled in college. Keep reading »

By Dr. David O. Volpi, M.D.
Smartphones, iPads, and other personal electronic devices are great ways to communicate and entertain ourselves, but they may also be negatively impacting the quality and quantity of our sleep.
As personal electronic devices have become more ubiquitous, the bright-light emitting screens that allow the use of mobile devices in dimly lit rooms have become a more common reason for sleep disruption, whether users realize it or not.
Why is that? Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland at night and when it is dark. It is a "timer" that tells the body that it is nighttime, and time to go to sleep. Exposure to light at night, such as that in the brightly-lit screens of many personal mobile devices, can interfere with melatonin, the hormone that helps control our sleep and wake cycles.
But rest easier: New research from the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ explains a way to reduce the impact of electronic devises on sleep cycles.
Lois Krahn, M.D., a psychiatrist and sleep expert at the Mayo Clinic and co-author of the study said, "In the old days, people would go to bed and read a book. More commonly, people go to bed and they have their tablet on which they read a book or newspaper or look at material. The problem is it's a lit device, and how problematic is the light source from the mobile device?"
That question prompted Dr. Krahn to wonder, is the light from screens always a negative factor for sleep?" To find out, Krahn and his colleagues experimented with two tablets and a smartphone in a dark room, using a meter on its most sensitive setting to measure the light the devices emitted at various settings when held various distances from a person's face.
They discovered that when the brightness settings were lowered and the devices were held just over a foot from a user's face, it reduced the risk that the light would be bright enough to suppress melatonin secretion and disrupt sleep.
Explains Krahn, "We found that only at the highest setting was the light over a conservative threshold that might affect melatonin levels. If it's at the mid setting or at a low setting, it's bright enough to use."
The new Mayo Clinic research, which was presented in June at SLEEP 2013, the 27th annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies LLC, in Baltimore, Md., also suggests things you can do to help prevent screen light from interfering with melatonin and affecting sleep.
These tips include dimming the smartphone or tablet brightness settings and holding the device at least 14 inches from your face while using it.
Other general tips include moving the TV and computer out of the bedroom, or at the very least, do not watch TV or work on the computer to bedtime.
With so many electronic distractions in our lives, it's important to re-claim the bedroom for its intended purpose: rest, relaxation, and sleep.

We have a set of glass kitchen upper cabinets that we want to re-use (three double doors) and found an IKEA style that is actually a very close match to the door style. I was considering using them to just "round out" our new laundry room. I am doing a set of shelves that fits four laundry baskets on the bottom of one wall, so I don't need lower cabinets there really, I just need two or so for under the counter and then was looking at one of their large utility cabinets to put next to it (for brooms, vacuum, etc.) I was also looking at the sinks for maybe use - we won't really use it that often (I haven't hand washed but maybe three things a year - and most often it was my daughter's "cozies" (blanket or stuffed animal.) Just want running water to wash our hands, etc. So, I'm trying to assess quality and longevity. And, the prices seem low but then there are sneaky add on costs (I guess all the cabinets are on legs so you have to add a toe kick if you want one?) Plus you have to assemble them...? Anyone use IKEA in building the storage in a laundry room? Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm interested to hear others responses as I've just designed my entire (new) laundry room with Ikea cabinets. I chose to put my $$ into custom cabinets for the kitchen and ensuite largely because Ikea couldn't offer me the finish choices I wanted for these rooms. I have yet to actually purchase and install the Ikea laundry cabinets (house still under construction) but I'm confident they will be perfect choice for their price and the room function. Once installed if they look as good as the design tool shows them I'm going to try to use Ikea in my mudroom and maybe even master walk in closet. |

Douglas Crane is a little like Ferdinand the Bull in the classic children's book. (Ferdinand liked to sniff flowers while his young bull peers were out in the fields butting heads, charging at each other and generally gearing up for violent showdowns with a matador.) Crane makes hot sauce. And the world of hot sauce is filled with blustery, macho, pyrotechnic, face-melting hot shots. Lots of dudes (and avid customers) who like to test the limits of the taste buds by blasting their mouths with weaponized amounts of heat from hot peppers, basically turning their tongues into blast sites. Crane — though he loves hot sauces — doesn't go in for all that extreme stunt-eating and fire-breathing. Crane is the man behind Dragon's Blood Elixir. Despite the scary-sounding name, Dragon's Blood Elixir is a line of Connecticut-made hot sauces that are noteworthy for all of their rainbow-spectrum fruitiness and atypical hot sauce flavors. Over the summer you can expect him to roll out different sauces using blueberries, peaches, muskmelons and other counterintuitive hot sauce creations.
"Heat for the sake of heat doesn't appeal to me," says Crane, who spent most of his career as a restaurant cook, before devoting himself to hot sauces. "For me, the flavor component is critical — I see these as a cooking sauces."
That isn't to say that Crane doesn't craft some very hot sauces — he does. Crane capitalizes on the American trend for hot stuff, what one researcher calls "benign masochism," a trend that's fueling hot-sauce sales. (A 2012 study found hot sauce production to be one of the top 10 fastest growing industries in the U.S.) Crane cooks up a Jolokia sauce (made with the hottest pepper in the world, also known as the ghost pepper). And another sauce is called For Whom the Bell Tolls, which deploys nine varieties of locally grown super-hot peppers. Crane's signature Dragon's Blood Elixir has a heat that sneaks up on you, too. But still, Crane says, he varies the heat index quite a bit. "Some of them I do put a skull and crossbones on, because they do demand your attention," he says. "Some are mild — they barely would disturb a kid."
As a chef, Crane used to concoct plenty of hot sauces, but he created them specifically for certain dishes. Some were fruity, some had lots of herbs, some added a sweet or tangy edge. Crane, who is in his late 50s, was the food service director at the Hyde School in Woodstock, where he still lives, before walking away from that career in 2009 to focus on sauces. But while he was there he had the perfect test-kitchen and test-audience scenario. "I had 300 kids and faculty that I could practice on," he says.
When he got started in 2009, Crane initially lugged his ingredients to a church kitchen where he rented space. Two years ago Crane outfitted his own space in Putnam, where, he says, the "zoning regulations were so friendly." Now he spends about half of his week in the kitchen concocting sauces, some of which are limited-edition small-batch creations that he might only make 80 five-ounce bottles of. The other half of his time is devoted to getting out on the road, with the help of his niece, setting up stands at regional farmers markets from eastern Connecticut down to Farmington and up to Enfield and Springfield, Mass. "On Fridays I do a market in Bozrah," says Crane. "Saturdays — I do Ellington and Storrs. And then the Coventry market on Sundays."
Back in May, Crane attended the First Annual New York City Hot Sauce Expo, where he hung out with chile heads from around the country.
And Crane has had pretty good success. He keeps tabs on the places he's reached. "I have a map on the wall of my kitchen of all the places I've sent sauces — all 50 states, seven of the Canadian provinces, and at least 24 countries," he says.
Crane gets a charge out of getting out and connecting with people — vegetable growers, cooks and regular customers — out at the farmers markets. He says he enjoys talking about cooking with people, some of whom might not consider themselves to be avid hot sauce connoisseurs. Crane will ask people what they like to make at home, and he'll offer suggestions about which sauces might pair nicely with a roast chicken, or grilled fish, or what can stand up to slow-cooked pork, for instance.
"I can tailor this pretty closely to what I think can work best for them," he says. "I'm much happier actually meeting the people and talking to them."
Crane also likes to barter with local farmers, trading some sauce for a batch of fresh herbs, or locally grown garlic, or a bushel of peppers picked that morning, for instance. The day before we spoke Crane had made a batch of Creole-thyme sauce using herbs he'd just gotten from a local grower.
When the harvest really gears up later in the summer Crane finds himself making a different sauce every week. These turn into sauces that might only exist once, in a single four-gallon pot that gets divided up and sold out. "Because it's such a small batch thing, I don't have a preconceived notion of how it's going to come out." Depending on what Crane's cooking, you might find things like a mango-ginger sauce made with pineapple and habanero, or a honey-lime curry sauce made with coconut milk, or a chocolate sauce made with fruit purees and Caribbean cocoa.
"As a cook, I'm very aware of the sweet-tart balance that I'm looking for in a sauce," says Crane.
His main line of 10 sauces are more standardized, with set ingredients and proportions and labels that meet all of the requirements to allow him to mass produce and ship the stuff. Those include a roasted garlic sauce, a Caribbean mustard sauce, a chipotle sauce and more.
Crane retains a spirit of enthusiastic experimentation.
"I haven't had so much fun since I started my cooking career," says Crane.

I bought some bulbs a few years ago at a local farmers market. Now it's time to divide them. When is the best time to divide them? When I bought them it was August (I think). The bulbs had no green on them so I think they may have been stored til sale time? Right now they are sending up the long leaves. Thanks for any advice. Marg |

Lace has always been more decorative than reliable. It doesn't keep you warm, it doesn't cover you up, and it can be damaged by as little as a hangnail. But then, that's part of the appeal of lace. Lace-inspired fashion is feminine and fun, innocent and sexy.
These lacy innovations stretch the material to its limit. From lace-inspired fashion to car-sized thongs, take a look at these usually attractive and often ridiculous inventions.
