Finally back to the computer to tell you about the great items that Lars sent to me.
First, A big jar of Lars Fig Jam. Yum, lucky Lars not only has his own fig tree but lemons and oranges growing in his back yard as well. As you may know, I make lots of different kinds of jam and jelly for our church fair but I don't have access to any locally grown figs and I am never sure what type to buy in the supermarket so this is one I have never made. I am very envious of being able to go in the yard and pick fruit off the tree. Next, A beautiful vase in shades of blues and purple made by a women in Lars' area. It goes perfectly in my home. I hope Lars took a picture to post since I am still challenged in that area. Lastly, A cookbook from a restaurant called Rockenwagner and I have been enjoying reading it. It is one of my favorite kinds of cookbooks - it has little informational notes at the beginning of each recipe. As soon as I pick a recipe to try I will post it. Thanks so much, Lars, for a wonderful swap package. Now, I have to get busy and finish up my own.
Follow-Up Postings:
Linda, All super gifts. I hope we get to see pics when Lars gets back. |
Linda, I'm sure that Lars Fig Jam will be a big hit. I've never had fig jam so please report back :-) From what you have described, the vase sounds beautiful and I hope that Lars can post a picture. Enjoy your cookbook, and I look forward to seeing which recipe you post. |

Wow! That's what I call a great swap package! I hope that Lars can post a picture also. I'm curious about the fig jam. The closest I've come to a fig is a Fig Newton. :~) Very generous of you, Lars, to share your harvest. |
Oh another great package. Looks like a very interesting cookbook and I love the colour of the vase. And you don't have to wait until Lars gets back because he sent me the photos to post for him. Lars' Fig Jam Röckenwagner cookbook Inside Vase |
Ann.. how great you had the photos! they speak volumes.. You will love the jam..we had some tonight on Ann's bread:) I love the idea of cookbooks.. And the vase is just beautiful. |

Ohhh, my! Lovely vase Lars picked out for you, Linda! Great looking cookbook too. The homemade jam rounds out the trio nicely - love the label, Lars. Very thoughtful of Lars to forward pictures to Ann! Thanks, Ann! Teresa |

I love the label on the jam, it is so Lars. That is a great package, a beautiful vase and the cover of the cookbook is also great. Glad we did not have to wait for photos, Lars is so thoughtful!! -Robin |

I love this! The fig jam looks fab and the label is great! Linda, make that! make that! I don't know what it is but it looks delicious. So does Rockenwagner have the biggest...ummm...uhhh...paper mache asparagus spear you ever saw?:O! The vase is pretty and unique. What a great package! |
- Posted by lynnalexandra (My Page) on Thu, Oct 19, 06 at 20:32
What a fabulous package. Those pictures look good enough to eat - both the fig jam and the recipe from that cookbook. What other kind of recipes are in that book? It looks good. And the vase is beautiful - what gorgeous shades of blue. Lynn. |
What nice gifts! The vase is beautiful, the cookbook looks great - just looking at that picture makes me hungry, and the jam will be very special indeed. I, too, love the label. Good job, Lars. Congrats, Linda! Sally |
The label jumped out at me too, it's great! And what a nice volume of jam inside! The vase has some very interesting shades of colours, I think it's quite beautiful. And the cover of the cookbook looks like it'll have some interesting recipes! Nice job Lars! Enjoy Linda! Catherine |
Wow, what a beautiful vase, i love the colors! And i'm jealous of the fig jam. The cookbook looks intriguing--what a great set of items! |
Oooh - FIGS! They were in the box that I sent yesterday, too. That's the nice thing about this place - is that most of you have sophisticated palates and can appreciate the lovely fig. That cookbook looks very cool! Now that vase... THAT VASE! It's GORGEOUS! It really would go PERFECTLY in my house. Linda, check the box - - did it have the wrong address on it? Hmmm? Was Colorado crossed out or sumthin'? I'll bet it was... |
Wow, what an awesome package. I love blue, so naturally love the vase. And the cookbook looks right up my alley - great photo. The fig jams sounds great too. |
No, I think it was supposed to go to Texas, I really, really think it was!!! The jam looks good, so does the cookbook, but the vase is so pretty. Lars, you did good! |
Oh, I love figs. I'd hide the jar & ration in out one spoonfull at a time! The picture of the German pancake with creme fraiche is making me hungry it looks so beautiful. Let us know what you decide to make first. And the vase...it beautiful and, yes, monkshood would be perfect and I'd add a few stems of heliopsis. It's also dynamic enough on it's own to just use as a sculptural piece on an entryway table, or such. Just georgous. Great job, Lars. Lucky you, Linda...enjoy! Tricia |
Oh I just love that vase the colours are lovely as is the shape. Great choice. The cookbook looks great too and of course who wouldn't be thrilled with fig jam! Great parcel! |
Fig jammmm..... mmmm... I planted a fig tree in my back yard a few years ago, no fruit yet but I'm hoping for the future!! Cookbook looks great! Vase - beautiful. I'm lovin all these swap packages. I have to say the three-item limit is inspired. This is so much fun! |
Rockenwagner has a cookbook??? I love Rockenwagner! It's a great restaurant. Nice package, Linda! Lars put together a good one for you. I'd love to get my hands on that cookbook! |
I tried a fresh fig for the first time this summer ata brunch. MMMMM. I bet I would love that jam! Beautiful vase, and I noticed Rockenwagner's big "spear", too! LOL Linda |
Lars can always be counted for something special, right down to the label on the Fabulous Fig Jam. I'd like to try that recipe in the picture. Very nice swap package. Pam |
mmmmmm!!! how fabulous! All of it looks so good. The vase is truly beautiful! And I'm so impressed that Lars got this out the door BEFORE he left for vacation. You are indeed a lucky partner! Elizabeth |
- Posted by terri_pacnw (My Page) on Fri, Oct 20, 06 at 12:57
WOW, WOW and WOW..that vase is amazing! |
I have to admit I've never had figs before but, the jam looks wonderful. Lars did an amazing job. The vase would look perfect in my house too. Enjoy that fig jam Linda and remember you don't have to share. Tracey |
- Posted by arandygail (My Page) on Fri, Oct 20, 06 at 14:26
That jam is beautiful!! I have never tried figs, except it Newtons and I am guessing that isn't a true test for figs. The vase, too, is beautiful. You will have to find a very special place to display that. |
I also love the colors in that vase, it's so cool and restful. I just had my first taste of fig preserves this week, some of Jessica's, and they were wonderful so I'm sure Linda will enjoy the ones that Lars sent. I'm another person who had only tasted fig newtons until this week, LOL. What a delicious package. Enjoy. Annie |
Lars -- You done good! Everything is beautiful and I'm sure will be treasured (or eaten). Adele |
Gorgeous vase!!! Lars did a really great job. I hope you enjoy all your stuff, Linda. |
- Posted by dishesdone (My Page) on Fri, Oct 20, 06 at 17:30
The vase is beautiful! What a great package Lars sent! Enjoy, Linda. Lars, what really nice gifts! |
Looks like figs are the official swap fruit this time around. Maggie, you nailed it, uh, on the head of the asparagus spear. Yeah. How about Rockenwagner for the next LA get-together. |
- Posted by chancesmom (My Page) on Fri, Oct 20, 06 at 18:59
Lars, that is a lovely gift, the vase is really beautiful, I have some store bought fig jam that now I can not even bother to open after seeing yours! The book looks like it has gorgeous pix. Enjoy Linda LOL Linda and Maggie...I noticed the spear too! janet |
Excellent package from Lars! Fig jam with lemon and orange...sounds heavenly. Gorgeous vase, and, ahem, well, maybe sometimes an asparagus is just an asparagus ;) |
Figs are the best! The jam looks great,and the vase is beautiful. And I think Lars choose the book for the cover! (Rockenwagner is a great place. We ate there years ago.) |
Great selection in this box and the homemade jam from Lars looks great. Cool vase and I'm sure there are greap recipes in that book. I there are few fans of his restaurant. David |
That fig jam looks so good - drool... I wanna go to Rockenwagner now! Lars is such a dear - he couldn't make our L.A./Lee get together but through Scott he sent a jar of homemade spicy pickled cucumber for Lee, and bags of Korean red chili powder for each of us. |
Very nice Lars...it's all very elegant. I love figs, the vase is a beautiful color and the cookbook lokks verys interesting. Nancy |
Everything is just wonderful in this swap box! Lars, as always, job well done! Enjoy!! |
That vase is beautiful. How special that Lars grew the figs, the lemons and the oranges, so I can only imagine how wonderful that jam must be! The cookbook looks very interesting, too. Great swap, Lars. Will look forward to a recipe, Linda. |
- Posted by virginia7074 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 21, 06 at 23:13
The vase is gorgeous. I can't imagine pickng figs, lemons and oranges from my yard. I bet the jam is fabulous. Funky cookbook - looks intriguing. Good choices, Lars. Have fun with it all, LInda. |
The vase *is* gorgeous! I love that. The cookbook is interesting looking, even though I should not judge a book by it's cover, that's one big ol asparagus !!! Lars you did a good job. Linda, enjoy~ |
Mmm, Lars did good too! That fig jam sounds so yummy and the Rockenwagner cookbook should be great too! The vase is lovely! |
Terrific job Lars! I'm so glad that you had sent pictures to Ann--they were worth 3,000 words, as the saying goes. The colors in the vase are so deep. The cookbook looks like a keeper for sure--I love cookbooks with lots of pictures. If they only had scratch-n-sniff! Could you imagine? Love the label, as always, on the jam. You are one talented guy, Lars. Enjoy your gifts Linda! |
Very nice package, Lars! The vase is stunning!! Your cleverly labeled jam looks delicious and the cookbook is certain to contain some wonderful recipes. Enjoy, Linda! |
wow - that vase is really special. What a great job, Lars on putting together this package! The cookbook - well, that photograph of the pancake is just gorgeous. I have to admit, I've never had fig jam - but I love fig newtons! lol. Stacy |
Lars, thank so much for taking the pictures and thanks to Ann for posting them. My descriptions certainly couldn't do justice to the lovely gifts, especially the beautiful vase. moniqueb - No monkshood but I have alot of Siberian Iris in the spring and I think they would look great in the vase. maggie and lynn - Those are German Apple Pancakes and they do look wonderful. The cookbook covers everything from breakfast on through the meals of the day to desserts and quite a few reflect the author's German heritage. colo lady - LOL Nope, sorry, no mistake in the address and the vase looks perfect in my home! Sounds like Rockenwagner is the place to go the next time I get to southerern California. Thanks again Lars, |

I'm at my sister's house now, briefly, but I wanted to check in to make sure the vase arrived intact. I'm so glad nothing was broken! I knew Linda liked blue, and so I thought the vase would go in her house. I've never been to Röckenwageners, even though it is less than a mile from my house. I've driven past it many times and wanted to go, but it looked expensive. However, I learned from the cookbook that they serve breakfast, and so I might have to go there for that. I couldn't resist photographing the first recipe - German apple pancakes, and I kept a copy of that recipe so that I can make them. BTW, the asparagus spear was just an asparagus spear to me - I'm a bit slow to catch on. I chose the book because it is from a restaurant close to my house! It appears to have a lot of good recipes with mainly German-French roots (like me), but with a bit of Pacific Rim sprinkled in. I'm so glad the vase was a hit - I was a bit worried about that, although I really liked it myself! Thanks for posting the pictures, Ann! Lars |
Lars, how nice that you could check in, hope your vacation is wonderful (although I wish it had been a few days later so you could have been at our dinner). You made lovely choices; the vase is beautiful and I too am sooo jealous of anyone who can pick Meyer lemons and figs in the yard. The cookbook looks wonderful and I'll bet the restaurant is too. Linda, I know you'll enjoy everything and I hope you'll be sharing several recipes from the book. Lee |

Linda, I love the vase. The color is terrific. I'll bet the fig jam is delicious! Homemade jams are my favorites! Lars, |
Enjoy, Linda, that vase is absolutely gorgeous, as is the photography in that cookbook. And the fig jam is special...we don't get fresh figs here. Had a tree when I was a kid, but did I appreciate it? Noooo..... Very nice, Lars. |

Harry is reportedly hooking up with British model Kara Rose, and we bet you have tons of questions about the One Direction cutie's latest love interest. HollywoodLife.com has done some major digging to bring you all the scoop on Kara Rose!
Harry Styles has added another pretty blonde to his playlist! British model Kara Rose Marshall, 22, joins the ranks of Harry's other fair-haired flings like Taylor Swift and Kimberly Stewart. But who the heck is this girl? HollywoodLife.com has the five things you're definitely going to want to know about Harry's new female friend!
Kara Rose Marshall — Five Things You Must Know About Her
1. Kara Rose is on the rebound! Harry apparently met Kara through mutual friend Tom Atkin of the band The Paddingtons while she was dating him. Tom warned Harry to stay away from Kara after they split, but it seems the 1D heartthrob just couldn't resist!
2. Harry better not get too attached to Kara Rose! She reportedly still loves her ex Tom and she sees Harry as just "a bit of fun," a source told EntertainmentWise.
3. Kara Rose, who currently lives in London, is signed with PROFILE Models in London and has been modeling for about three years, according to her profile on Model Mayhem. She has modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch in London.
4. Kara Rose is more than just a model — she also studied fashion at University for the Creative Arts Epsom in the south of England.
5. Kara Rose has a thing for wearing Harry's clothes. She has been spotted wearing Harry's The Who shirt and his Conway & Loretta Tour '87 shirt.

I definetly don't think that Kara is right for him. With what I have heard she is just using him anyways and I believe that he deserves someone who cares for him deeply. I am not only saying this because I like him as a singer, but also because I genuinely care about his feelings. He shouldn't be treated like a toy just because of who he is. He may be famous, but in reality he is just a human like everyone else. HE HAS FEELINGS TOO. Sorry, this just kind of makes me mad.

Posted at 10:44 PM on July 31, 2013
I think he can date who ever he wants; but I think after reading the five facts about Kara… maybe he should think twice. I'm not saying it just because I like Harry, I'm saying it only because she doesn't necessarily sound like a very nice girl. I could be wrong though. Websites don't prove any facts. But I'm just going off of what I read here….
Posted at 9:55 AM on July 22, 2013
honestly why should we hate? in my opinion he can date who ever he wants to date. Look at it this way what if you where there person who was dating him you wouldn't like to get hated on. Right? I know some people hate Kara But why because she's a super model, well she has flaw like we do and everybody does, because she's "dating" harry styles, well what if it was you? Just think before you react.
Posted at 8:56 PM on August 17, 2013
Oh wow… Firstly it's Freddie Krueger. And secondly she does not look like him and what's wrong with having an oval shaped face? Many people do. Yes, I'll be heartbroken if he is dating her, but don't call her out on her appearance for God's sake. She's actually pretty and that's half the reason you are jealous.
That girl.

Lists: When really good soundtracks happen to really bad movies
By Allison Stewart
The news that Georgia metal warriors Mastodon will issue a soundtrack to the already much-maligned film "Jonah Hex" next week got Click Track thinking about other really bad movies with really good soundtracks.
We've ranked our favorite best/worsts as follows...
1."Purple Rain"
In which a melty-eyed, ascot-wearing Prince plays history's least convincing badass. The soundtrack sure was good, though. Why didn't we appreciate Morris Day more when he was in his prime?
2. "Xanadu"
Olivia Newton-John plays a mythical nymph who rollerskates, and who magically time-traveled to the San Fernando Valley in the '80s for some reason. It's the kind of movie where no one who was in it will ever work again. But the soundtrack, split between ON-J doing mostly big band numbers and a then -- credible ELO doing random awesome things, was kind of genius; electro-disco before its time.
(Sigur Rós, the Monkees and Ari Gold, after the jump. And leave your favorite awesome-soundtrack-to-a-horrible-movie in the comments.)
3. Anything Wes Anderson did after "Rushmore"
As Anderson's movies increasingly seem like self-conscious experiments in upper class emotional taxidermy, his soundtracks (already among the best in the business) have gotten even better. The winning formula: Lots of well-chosen rarities from tasteful legacy acts (Dylan, Bowie), judicious employment of Mark Mothersbaugh, and the most inspired uses of "Needle in the Hay" and "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" ever.
4. "Vanilla Sky"
The movie was bad. Horrifically, eye-bleedingly, please-God-make-it-stop bad. But the soundtrack was vintage Cameron Crowe-evocative, well-chosen, perfect: Sigur Rós,Radiohead, the Monkees. Even Paul McCartney singing a song with the movie's title in it (something that's usually not okay) couldn't dampen our enthusiasm.
5. "Judgment Night"
More forgettable than actually bad (it's worth watching if only to see a then-balding, pre-"Entourage" Jeremy Piven), this film's '93 soundtrack featured a then-groundbreaking series of rap-rock collaborations, including one between Pearl Jam and Cypress Hill (who also contribute a track with Sonic Youth) and Mudhoney/Sir-Mix-A-Lot.
(Dis-)Honorable Mentions: "Conan the Barbarian," "The Crow," "Bad Boys II," "High Fidelity," "Empire Records," "Juno"

Hi all, I put this plastic fencing up in hopes of keeping the squirrels(aka) "Tree Rats" at bay from my very first mango fruits. Last year I did a similar set up with the few lychee fruits I had(before the freeze damage almost killed it this winter) and it worked great...not one fruit was stolen by varmints. I'm hoping this will work as well...I guess only time will tell. Plan B would be to throw a bird netting on top if the fencing is breached,lol...Since I don't have that many...I don't want to share with them :o) Just wanted to share a couple of pictures...
Just about all my fruits are at the lower branches... |

Nancy: Your squirrels must be a whole lot less agile or are considerably more lazy than the squirrels around here if that set up keeps them off your fruit. My squirrels would be over that fence in a heartbeat. There must be other food sources for your squirrels in the area. In any case, I hope it works again this year for you. Harry |
At least it will slow them down enough to give them a dose of .17 caliber pellet fencing. I am at war with squirrels and raccoons. I should make a fur mountain man coat when I'm done. Gary |
I have a similar setup around my trees due to my chickens but it seems to keep the squirels out as well. Once or twice I have had squirrels stuck inside the fenced area as my dog and I approached trees. The tops of the fencing are loose and unsupported and the area enclosed is pretty small so its not easy for them to jump out. The panic they experince when trapped for those few moments seems to have discouraged more fence jumping and tree raiding. |
I'd drap a couple layers of bird netting on top of the tree as well. I had good luck last season by just baging each fruit. It's easy for me because my crop is so pathetic (especially this year). |
I agree with jsvand bout the bird netting. Side note, AWESOME tree!!! |
dghays, you have me laughing out loud! Good ones! I'm a fan of the .177 too. All squirrels must die. ; ) |
I don't think I could get away with a .177 in my area, but a strong bb gun will be bought when the fruit is a bit closer. |
Harry, I will let you know how it works out...I'm the only one in my area that has a mango tree as best as I can tell, maybe they don't know what a mango taste like,lol... Bird netting is def. my next step if this one doesn't do it. Jb fla, thanks! Will update...to be continued! |
Lucky me for planting all my tropicals in pots and on the deck. No bird or squirrel can get to my trees. But I have to place a bird nest on my peach tree and it seems to work well. I can still see the peaches on the tree as compared to last year all the fruits were gone even before they get to golf ball size. Which variety of mango is this one? Great looking tree. |
Actually, I also have a cheap $27 dollar BB gun from walmart too. I figured if I shoot them with a weak gun, maybe they'll decide to stay away. It doesn't seem to work, they keep coming anyhow. I figure if I chase them away several times and they insist on constantly returning, I'll bring out the .17 Gary |
Thanks ch3rri...its a Cogshall. I like the dwarf growth habits that both my trees have. I have another one in the front...but all the blooms froze...so NO fruits this year. |
Nancy - Great looking mango tree and fruits too! I also subscribe to the idea of using bb guns to deter squirrels and other rodents! Bo |
Thanks Bo, I really want to taste this variety so hopefully this fencing will do the trick...Even if I had a BB gun...not sure I can even hit one(my aim sucks,lol). |

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. It has been historically driven by an atmospheric build-up of greenhouse gases (GHGs) generated mostly by the industrialized world. The consequences of climate change—more intense hurricanes and typhoons, rising sea levels, drought, heat waves, major disruptions to agriculture—will be felt by communities around the world.
Population trends play an important role in the larger context of economic, technological, and social trends that affect the climate system.
The majority of future population growth is likely to occur in areas of the world that are already beginning to experience climate change impacts, and this growth is likely to be concentrated in areas and among populations—poor, urban, and coastal—that are already highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. In addition, population trends are intimately connected to the growth of GHGs that cause climate change.
As the world seeks effective strategies to meet climate change challenges, population trends and related gender considerations should not be left out.
Many of the policies that affect population trends, such as meeting the demand for family planning and reproductive health services among the world's women and families, can play an important role in climate change adaptation and mitigation, but have not yet been incorporated into comprehensive climate change solutions.
Population Trends Will Expose More People to Climate Change Impacts, Especially in the Developing World
Areas of high population growth and high vulnerability to climate change impacts overlap.
Evidence suggests that the poorest countries and population groups are most vulnerable to climate change impacts.1 Population growth is occurring most rapidly in the developing world, increasing the scale of vulnerability to projected impacts of climate change. Other demographic trends, such as urbanization in coastal areas and encroachment of populations into ecologically marginal areas, can exacerbate climate risks. Areas in which population trends are particularly relevant to climate change vulnerability and adaptation include:
Water stress:
Population growth is already putting a strain on the world's limited supply of fresh water. Without taking into account the projected impacts of climate change, five billion people—more than half the world's population—are expected to live in water-stressed countries by 2050.2Anticipated changes in climate will exacerbate the problem of water shortages in these areas.
Moreover, the anticipated retreat of glaciers has both direct impacts on populations such as landslides, flash floods, and glacial lake overflow, as well as indirect effects such as the disruption of water flows in rivers. By the end of the century, an estimated 40% of the world's population could be affected by loss of snow and glaciers in the mountains of Asia.3
Extreme weather and sea level rise:
The impacts of extreme weather events and projected sea level rise are particularly significant due to high population density on and near coastlines and low-elevation zones.Low elevation coastal zones cover 2% of the world's land area, but contain 10% of the world's population, and that population is growing fast.4 In Bangladesh and China, for example, populations living in low elevation coastal zones grew at almost twice the national population growth rate between 1990-2000,5 exposing disproportionately growing numbers of people to the negative effects of sea-level rise and extreme weather.
Agricultural production loss:
Increases in temperature are expected to negatively affect agricultural production in the tropics and subtropics, where crops already exist at the top of their temperature range. Under middle range projections of population growth, agricultural production loss and an increase in the prices of crops due to climate change will lead to an additional 90 to 125 million people at risk of hunger in the developing world by 2080.6
Population Trends are Critical in Future Scenarios of GHG Emissions
In future climate scenarios generated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), higher population growth projections generally result in more GHG emissions.
The IPCC scenarios are grouped into four families (A1, A2, B1,and B2) and each makes different assumptions about economic growth, technological change, and population growth. Population assumptions range widely, from a low population projection of 7.1 billion to a high of 15 billion in 2100. Looking at the outputs of climate change models driven by these scenarios, higher population growth is associated with more GHG emissions (see Figure 1), with a few key exceptions. For example, the effects of highly carbon-intensive economic growth and technological change can be more substantial than population growth on future carbon emissions, at least for several decades.7
Current climate change models likely underestimate the impact of demographic trends on GHG emissions growth.
A weakness of the IPCC's current scenarios is that population size is the only demographic variable considered—no allowances are made for compositional changes within the population as it grows. Energy consumption patterns differ between rural and urban populations, between younger and older populations, and between households with many people versus households with fewer. The world is becoming increasingly urban and older, and household sizes are becoming smaller—but these changes have not yet been accurately accounted for in climate change models.8 Population Action International is collaborating with other scientists to develop more sophisticated models that will allow for more accurate accounting of demographic variables in emissions scenarios.
Population Policies and Programs: Part of the Solution to Climate Change Challenges
The path of future population growth is uncertain.
Recent United Nations population projections indicate that the world's population is likely to grow from today's 6.7 billion to somewhere between 8.0 to 10.5 billion by 2050.9 According to U.N. demographers, achieving a "medium" population projection of 9.15 billion by 2050 will require expanded access to family planning programs, particularly in the least developed countries.10 Table1 provides sample population projections for several countries with high vulnerability to climate change impacts. Family planning and reproductive health programs, delivered according to the international consensus agreed to by 179 nations at the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, will help reduce vulnerability to climate change and slow the population trends that exacerbate climate change.
The global need to solve climate change is matched by local demand for family planning and reproductive health services.
The U.S. and other governments and organizations must address the needs for reproductive health and family planning around the world. This will improve the health and well-being of women and families, while also slowing the growth of GHGs and reducing human vulnerability to climate change impacts. More than 200 million women around the world say they would prefer to avoid a pregnancy, but are not using a modern form of contraception.11 In a number of nations, this unmet need exists among one-third or more of married women. And while the number of women of reproductive age worldwide continues to grow, the last decade has witnessed a significant decline in funding for family planning programs in international development assistance: between 1996 and 2006, donor funding for family planning programs declined by 30% globally.12 Between 1995 and 2009, U.S. funding for these programs declined 35%.13

RE: NXR ?s and a first review (Follow-Up #7)
posted by: JWVideo on 03.01.2013 at 05:41 pm in Appliances Forum Lots of questions.
ADHESIVE RESIDUE For the film adhesive residue, I believe I used WD40. (Contrary to popular belief, WD40 is a solvent, not a lubricant.) That was followed by Windex (or maybe Pinesol; it was month's ago and I forgot.) That was all before I ran the oven burn-off, As you've already run the oven-burn cycle, the stuff on the oven door or sides might be a bit baked on. After I ran my burn-off, I found that I had missed some of it. Wound up using used a little BKF on the steel parts of the oven door for the stuff I missed before the burn-off. Used a razor-blade (like a paint scraper) for the baked-on stuff that stuck to the oven. glass. OVEN CLEANING: Posts here have recommended both washing and blowing/vacuuming the oven before running a burn cycle. No problem doing it after the oven, though, as you discovered, the burn-off will stink a bit. Get an air-compressor (or canned air), remove the racks and the bootom plate (the one over the baking burner) and blow out the interior. Then vacuum with a shop vac. Like any stove, there will be factory dust and other dust that collected during shipment and warehousing. OVEN DOOR REMOUNT You are right that the manual isn't any help with this issue. Basically, the problem is that the hinges are mounted to the door and go into slots in the front of the oven instead of the more familiar hinges-on-the-oven-and-slot-on-the-door-arrangement. There is a slot on the bottom of each hinge and those has to drop "just-so" over the slots. Some Electrolux stoves use a similar hinge arrangement and the manual has a pretty good illustration of how to remout this kind of oven door.. http://manuals.electroluxusa.com/prodinfo_pdf/Springfield/316471013en. pdf If that doesn't work for you, call the customer assistance number in the back of the NXR manual. That's what I wound up doing when I got my stove. STEAM TABLE PANS ON THE RACK Which rack? Oven? Stovetop? No trouble using them in the oven, which you can run as low as 140F. Never thought about using them on the stovetop, though. You can certainly dial the burner heat waayyyyy down, so as long as you have liquid in the pan, it should be okay. So, meatballs or sausages in sauce, okay. Steam table pans strike me as being too thin to put on the stove top for things without liquid, though. What I've done is plonk down my rectangular griddle and put the steam table pans on that. SQUEAKING GRATES This post was edited by JWVideo on Sat, Mar 2, 13 at 12:37 NOTES: <none>

RE: NXR ?s and a first review (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: jellytoast on 02.28.2013 at 11:13 pm in Appliances Forum The burn-off might not have reeked as much had you washed the oven with soap and water before starting the burn-off process. The burn-off on my newly installed range (not NXR) produced hardly any odor, but I washed it first. Were there not instructions included regarding cleaning it first?
The "wierd metal bracket" is most likely the anti-tip device ... does it fit around one of the rear legs? My range came with a weird looking device which turned out to be a tool to adjust the rear legs. The anti-tip device was zip-tied to the rear of the range. I wouldn't have noticed it there had I not been looking for it. NOTES: <none>

National Editor Tom Karst I was visiting with a Midwest retail buyer last week and he mentioned the continued strong growth in organic produce sales in his organization.
He said some of firm's retail divisions reported 40% growth last year in organic sales.
Consumer sensitivity to pesticide and food safety issues may have helped spur the growth, the buyer told me.
"The younger people in the marketplace are looking for an alternative for what they have been buying," he said to me.
As I reflected on the oft-questioned staying power of organic produce, I looked back in The Packer library and searched for the words "organic" and "fad" appearing in the same story.
I saw coverage from 1993 that quoted an organic produce distributor in the Northwest, giving his opinion about where the demand was coming from:
He said his company hasn't made inroads to supplying chain stores and that doesn't bother him. He believes the people who buy organic produce don't shop at chain stores.
``We don't consider it crucial to our well-being,'' he said about pushing organic produce at conventional retail stores. ``In my opinion the chains aren't where these people do most of their business.''
TK: Well that certainly has changed, hasn't it? In 2006,Wal Mart said it would double its organic offerings to a reported 400 stock-keeping-units, and many mainstream retailers followed suit.
In November 2007, Caren Wilcox, then executive director of the Greenfield, Mass.-based Organic Trade Association, told a reporter from The Packer that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's organic certification standards had given the organic category unprecedented legitimacy.

We have a 13 yr. old Kenmore (Sear's) upright freezer that has worked great all these years out in the garage. A 3 yr. old Frigidaire refr/freezer however also in the garage recently had the freezer part go down to 40 degrees & everything melted so we bought another Kenmore the same size! Next morning after the temp. in the freezer portion went down to 10 degrees, we put food. in the refr. & freezer. The following day the freezer portion was up to 40 degrees & all contents thawed!! Called Sear's & was told that the compressor on newer models is not as big (?cheap!) as older models & must have a 'compressor cover bought & installed' if it is to be placed in a shed or garage outside the house!! Anyone ever heard of this? Imagine many folks have an additional freezer or refr. in the garage or shed now days so if this is a real problem then the units should come already with a cover installed on all units or at least a note about temp. storage (yes, in small print it does give a temp. range for refr. & freezers somewhere in the paperwork after our problem & we then looked for the note!) |
Follow-Up Postings:
What I've read happens, which isn't specific to new refrigerators, is this. There's only one compressor in most units and it's controlled by the fridge temp. Meaning there is no switch just for the freezer. Only when the fridge temp gets too warm, then the unit runs. When the outside temp is cold enough to keep the fridge temp below it's set point, the compressor simply never runs. If the outside temp stays at 35 degrees and your fridge set temp is 36 degrees, the compress will never turn on. Meanwhile, the freezer warms up to 35 degrees and everything thaws. I keep my garage fridge temp at around 33 degrees, just to keep beverages really cold, and have never had the freezer thaw. I don't think the the temp in my garage has gone below 33 before though. |
Makes sense, thanks! Now I know why the freezer part of a refr./freezer unit doesn't have a real control dial in front like the refr. part does.... Still not sure why the upright freezer doesn't have the controls in front & not in back where it is not easily accessible when unit is full of frozen food?! Wonder what the 'cover' for the compressor is that Sear's said is necessary for ourdoors & is now on order? Sear's said the compressors on newer units is smaller (cheaper?!) than on the older units. |
The Sears rep you contacted may be a little confused on the purpose of the retrofit part, or the item description in their database may be a little mis-named for that item. It may be a thermostat heater to trick the unit into running more in the cold environment, some manufacturers have those available as an accessory if needed for garage use. Be interesting to hear what the "cover" ends up to be. |

It has been discussed here that one can put an incandescent bulb inside the refrigerator section near the thermostat to fool it into running longer. |
To let you know,the retrofit kit Sear's said we needed for an outdoor (garage) refr../freezer came today. Called an: Electrolux Low Ambient Temperature (garage kit) ($34). (Frigidaire, White-Westinghouse, Gibson Kelvonator, Tappan, Philco names on the box also) . Wires on the heating unit are to be hooked up to the cabinet control box. Haven't hooked it up yet... will let you know if it works! If so, we will get one for our other refr./freezer in the garage. Maybe cheaper somewhere on Amazon however for an additional one. Never had this problem before but imagine others like us also have extra refr./freezers in outdoor rooms, garages, sheds & may need this attachment! |
So far the retrofit unit we ordered is working fine on the new refr./freezer... but now we don't need the older refr./freezer if one of these retrofit units would 'fix' that one also!!! Other family members may decide to use ot though if another 'retro-fit' unit will 'fix' it! Something new to learn every day! Thanks for your help in explaining the problem! |

Good to hear there is a fix for this. I have a few-years-old Kenmore fridge/ freezer in the garage and when it gets down cold enough here (PNW), I have lost some of the frozen soup and pesto I have in the freezer. I forget every year when it gets so cold that I need to move the freezer items into our upright garage freezer s they don't thaw. I'm going to show this to my DH to see if he's up for installing it. I'd love to not have to worry about the frozen food. How tough was the install? |
Unit cost less than $20 that my husband ordered & it was very easy to install where the refrigerator control knob is. We have the old 'broken' one now that we will install that device & keep it as either another (!!) refr./freezer in the garage or give it to our son for his garage. I reaize now that one can buy a refrigerayor- only like the freezer -only we have; THAT would be the ideal set-up for us had we only known before getting the refr./freezers we now have instead where the freezer portion had the problem when stored in the garage! This device has the list of models it is designed for. Sure glad to hear about this unit to attach.. seems to work just fine & keeps the freezer things frozen well! Called 'Garage Kit' by Frigidaire (part # 5303918301) & fits models listed there. Hope you can try this & find it helps ... it sure works for us but wish we had learned of it before we bought the new refr./freezer - now that the old one works fine with the unit attached! |

I love Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer. In my opinion it's one of the best drug store concealers available. It doesn't clump up, it's easy to blend, and SO easy to apply. I do one swipe under each eye and then dot my problem areas (if I have a pimple), blend it gently, and it's completely covered. It is a full coverage concealer without looking too heavy, and it's buildable. It will last me all day without having to reapply, which is another reason I love it. I really like the twist applicator, it makes it very easy to apply and less messy. This is one of my favorite drug store products.
For ref I'm NC42 and I have 3 shades of this, Neutralizer, Medium, and Honey--Neutralizer is very yellow but way too light, Honey is darker than medium but way too pink for my warm tone, Medium is pretty light but I love the brightening effect it us ( it's good if you're trying to achieve that KK concealer look). I love the packaging, it's so soft and doesn't tug on my already wrinkling skin there. It seems that it's very thin but it actually medium to heavy coverage, but the light consistency is good for the under eye. This is my everyday concealer, it's not HG only because it cakes without powder on top. I use my Ben Nye translucent powder on top and it literally last almost 24hrs!!! my HG is still my MAC pro longwear.

This is a great concealer. I am NC25 and use the shade Neutralizer. The key to apply this is using the finger instead of a brush. Natural smooth coverage that lasts all day. I am glad I didn't spend $30 for a Shiseido concealer.

I don't have the darkest undereye circles, but I do have the puffies (bad!). I work 12 hour shifts and I have a toddler, so I am entitled to the puffy, sleepless undereye issues.
I have used many products in the past starting a de-puffing eye cream (still trying to find a good one). I also used Bobbi Brown, and Laura Mercier eye concealers for reference.
I heard about this product from a woman I work with, she loves it and she is in her 50's. I thought I would try it.
The applicator is so soft, so soft I could massage it under my eyes all day. The product is quick to apply, you only need a little, and sets right away without powder.
I noticed it left my undereye brighter, less puffy, soft and it didn't settle in my fine lines (33yrs). It was moisturizing and lasted and lasted all day.
I am using this on areas that I want highlighted on my face, such as, my nose, cupids bow ect.
I really don't need to keep searching for a good eye cream because this does it all!

I TOTALLY LOVE THIS CONCEALER!! I have really bad under eye circles and veins... I used religiously my Bobbi Brown corrector (in Med-dark Bisque), then BB concealer, then powder to set, etc etc... and never found COMPLETE SATISFACTION... now, I only use Maybelline's Age Rewind in LIGHT and since it is a little bit light for me (I'm NC30), I top it with a darker shade (I use L'oreals True Match in shade N 4-5)... and I DON'T HAVE TO USE POWDER.. and IT WON'T CREASE, and IT LASTS ALL DAY, and if you want you can TOUCH UP AND WON'T CAKE!! really nice product, I want to try the brightener and the neutralizer as well...
More reviews by viviansweethart
I bought this after intensive research for a good drugstore concealer. First off, I want to say that the packaging is so deceitful. It seems as if you get a big full tube but if you look closely there is this piece of paper that is inserted in the packaging so it seems like you will never run out of concealer. It's really hard to describe but what you see is not what you get. The concealer itself is not bad but defintely not the bomb. Maybe I got a color too light but I find that this concealer does not cover my dark circles that great. I would not purchase again and would recommend it if you had a coupon. i think i paid $8 for it.
I just bought the neutralizer shade from Superstore awhile ago. Compared to the other shades, this one has some serious yellow tones in it. Have dark circles under my eyes and Maybelline just discontinued the Mineral Power Concealer (w/c I loved!).. I was hesitant to buy this because of it's funny looking applicator but after watching xteener (from Youtube) use this, I thought I'd give this a shot.
... And I'm glad I did! After twisting the tube, I dab the product underneath my eyes and blend it with my fingers. I set it with my Shu Uemura translucent powder. The hype is true for me, it does not crease nor is it drying. For what it's worth, will definitely buy again & recommend to my friends. HG? Hmm, not so much YET. Maybe after I get used to the packaging and after I wear it for the whole day, will update y'all. :)

This product did not go well with my eye cream. It was drying and cakey. The twist up thingy to get the product out broke, so, even though I dont really like it, I cant even use it, just to finish it at least...I wish I could return it, I might still try...
I love this stuff! now i do not have dramatic circles/blemishes to cover but i like to even out my skin tone under my eyes. This is WAY better than my MAC studio finish concealer. MAC was thick, would not blend in and looked cakey. This stuff is smooth, creamy, blendable. I was shocked its much better than more expensive concealers. I found it on sale recently and stocked up!! I will not be using anything else.
An added bonus, I love how you can see how much you have used and the soft applicator. I usually blend with my finger tips, no issues. Would definitely recommend before you spend money on higher priced concealers!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love, love, love this product. I have it in the color "fair"...I almost went with the pink brightening because while I don't have huge circles or bags, what I do have is very blue. But I am glad I went with the "fair". Works perfectly. At first I freaked out because I had to twist forever to get the product up through the sponge, and then the first application was very gloppy and way too much product. I sponged off the excess on a tissue though, and since then I click it twice per eye and it dispenses the perfect amount. I use the applicator to tap/rub it on and then pat it on with my ring or pinky finger. Covers lightly but flawlessly. Doesn't wear off or settle into fine lines. Love it!

In this video, you'll see how to make baked bacon-wrapped chicken breasts stuffed with a creamy mixture of spinach, feta cheese, garlic, and mayonnaise. Simple to prepare, this 5-star, Greek-inspired recipe is a family favorite. You'll also see how to butterfly your boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Watch the video, then get Laurie's top-rated recipe for Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts. Serve with rice, noodles, or a Greek salad. See more Greek food videos >>
of course this will be bland, it's not seasoned! Salt, pepper, olive oil...
I followed the recipe exactly, an hour is to long - the chicken was dry and the stuffing was bland - I do wish I would have read other comments before cooking because I believe it would have been more appetizing
Can I use something other than spinach? I don't like spinach. Thank You.

Hi folks,
I just purchased some Canna bulbs at a church bake sale. (Hey, we are a diverse community!) ;-) There were about 8 to 10 bulbs in a bag for $5.00 each bag, and they are labeled "Red Foliage with Red Flowers." I am in zone 7, and probably don't have to worry much about them being underground for the winter. But, I was wondering if I would be better off instead of planting them - to stick them in my basement for the winter. The temps there run in the 60s (F) while my garage gets into the 20s at times. Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated. Ed |

I'm in zone 8a near Dallas, but much of nearby Ft Worth is zone 7, & we never lift cannas for winter storage. If I were to get cannas for my own garden or for my aunt's FW garden, I would go ahead & plant them now. Best luck, & enjoy! |
As I understand, Cannas are marginally hardy in zone 7. I live in zone 5, so have to dig them to overwinter, they must be kept above freezing. My advice is to keep them in the cellar for the winter, preferably cooler than 60ş (ideal ~40ş, perhaps near, in, the bulkhead?) See my Oct 29 post to the thread linked below for storage method I use. Ana, who got her first cannas, 6 for $1.00, at the library plant sale in 1997. |

Thanks for the replies! Solana, I read your post. Is the peat moss perfectly dry - like dust? Or is it slightly moist? Is the bag tightly sealed with no vent holes? Thanks, Ed |
Ed, Yes, peat moss is dry. I just use it as it comes from the bag, no moistening. Enough peat moss so there's at least an inch all around and between rhizomes. Lightly hand twist the plastic bag (I use grocery bags) but don't seal so there's a little bit of air exchange. Let your observations guide you: check on them every month or so, they should be firm. Expect a small bit of moisture loss, but shouldn't look shrivelled. If they do, sprinkle the peat lightly with water. My basement has a dirt floor, so may be damper than some. If you notice mold, open the bags more. Rot? trim it out, dust with sulfur if you have it, let the cut dry a couple days before returning to the peat bag. |

I bought a plant that is now starting to flower. It says on the instruction to remove flowers and buds. This is my first time growing June bearing strawberries and wonder why I should removed these buds...or should I?
I thought that I'd remove some of the larger leaves so the nutrients can concentrate to the berries. What is the proper way to grow the maximum amount of strawberries? I only have one plant and it's in a large terra cotta planter. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by bonniepunch USDAz4 AgCanz5a (My Page) on Fri, May 11, 07 at 20:48
Removing flowers and buds is traditionally recommended for strawberry plants in their first year - this allows the plant to concentrate on roots and runners, giving you a better crop in the next year. If you have a way of overwintering this plant I would recommend it. If you can't overwinter it, then allow it to set as much fruit as it can - it'll be all you get. Do not remove any leaves - leaves are essential to energy production for the plant. Less energy=fewer berries. I grew strawberries in pots for several years and I will say it can be done fairly easily, as long as you keep them well watered, and fertilize often with a dilute low nitrogen fertilizer. You're not going to get many berries from one new plant, sorry to say. Maybe two or three a day for a couple of weeks, maximum. Older plants produce better, since they have more crowns, and they have had a chance to produce runners, giving you more plants. BP |

The original recipe called for 4 cans of beans. I wanted mine to be a little lighter and just thicken the broth a little. Enjoy!Submitted by: SWEX22

This soup is made to emulate the tortilla soup at Qdoba's . While this soup is easy and fast it is helpful to have another set of hands.

Chances are, if you get into a war of words with Hannah Richards, she'd win. That's because she doesn't hold back when speaking her mind, as demonstrated by these wonderfully hilarious and simplistic doodles. With a razor sharp wit and a fearlessness to tell it like it is, Hannah Richards would likely be a successful comedian if she weren't already an illustrator, photographer and filmmaker.
One can argue that these Hannah Richards creations aren't art since they usually feature more words than pictures, but they do their job in conveying Richards' ideas, which is something even great artists struggle with from time to time.
Hannah Richards is a graduate of Brighton University in the UK and is currently tearing up the Internet with her distinct brand of funnies.
