What I'm Wearing | Ivory + Sparkle + Shine
Last night was Date Night: Cocktails while watching the Lakers vs. Knicks! Go Jeremy Lin! And we saw "Safe House". Great movie with plenty of action from beginning to end. I highly recommend it! Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds were excellent!
The temp starting dropping last night and it was windy, cold and misty by the time the night was over. Seems as if everytime I wear these pants, it begins to rain. Jinx! And today it's freezing, so I have to pull a dreaded coat out of the closet.
If you've noticed, I take "Date Night" pretty serious. It's that special time that my husband and I carve out for ourselves so that we can just be "us". And I dress for the occasion. If we were still in the dating stage of our relationship, I would have gotten all dolled-up to go out with my boyfriend. So why not do that for my husband?! And he does the same for me. I think when you stop putting forth effort, that's when marriages go down hill. After 20 years, we have to keep it fresh and fun!
Wearing: blazer: Vogue 8333; top: sequined pullover (old) from Know Style; pants: Vogue 1059; shoes: calf-hair leopard slingbacks: last seen here; green clutch is same as here.

Beautiful outfit. So fun and chic!
That's a great philosophy about date night. Living near the beach in Virginia, where the atmosphere and attitude were so relaxed, we rarely dressed up to go out. Now that we live in Boston and most of our dates involve walking around the city we've both stepped it up quite a bit. It's so fun and really brings back that "excitement" :)

Verified Purchase
These pencils are really really great. I've tried several different mechanical
colored pencils, and these are my favorite. I bought all of the colors, and
found them to be of equal quality. The lead seems to have just the right
combination of hardness to avoid the constant breakages I experienced with other
brands, and yet is soft enough to mark on the coated paper one finds in student
workbooks. I use them primarily for marking up papers, but have also used them
for sketching and found them to be up to the task. What is more, they look
lovely all lined up in a Saki roll up pencil case, and you can easily get more
colored lead for them here, so you don't have to throw away the pencil when
you've used up the included lead. I have found that all of the colors erase
well, and the pencils are comfortable and light in my hand. The only little
issue with these pencils seems to be that the colors aren't lightfast. I haven't
experienced this problem myself, but it is well-documented and the lead refills
actually carry a warning to that effect. See here:
Even so, I can recommend these pencils without hesitation.

Verified Purchase
I have three Pilot Color Eno pencils: this, the violet, and the light blue. The
violet is quite dark, great for writing, not so great for erasing; while the
light blue feels a little too light at times. Of the three, I find the red to be
the best for drawing -- dark enough to show up clearly against the paper, light
enough to easily erased and inked over. Take note that the lead lays down more
of a light red/pinkish color than the very vibrant bright red of the casing.

I love these pencils. I got the yellow one and the lead is great. The color is
very vibrant and pretty transparent because it's yellow after all it's hard to
see anyway. But I just love the mechanical pencil itself. I just bought it to
use as a regular mechanical pencil and works like magic! I love this pencil! :)

Wonderful product! I can't believe they finally made colored mechanical pencils.
I wish I would have known about these years ago. I just got mine and I already
ordered refills because I know I will be using these a lot. Nice comfortable
grip and awesome lead that actually erases pretto much completely. I'm not a
super heavy handed writer so I don't press down very hard when writing so I
don't have any problem erasing what I have drawn, written, or highlighted with
these colored mechanical pencils.

I love these pencils!! These pencils are perfect for anyone who enjoys doing
pic-a-pix, griddlers, hanjie, logic art, or whatever you prefer to call these
puzzles. They lay down a nice solid patch of color, but do erase if you make a
mistake. It's very difficult to find a good erasable colored pencil, and these
Pilot Color Eno pencils are the best I've found! Plus, I like the fact that I
always have a sharp point to color in all those small squares. I just wish they
came in more colors like brown.

I have a type of worm eating my tomatoes? I've attached a picture and wondered if anyone recognizes it? Also, what treatment would you recommend? Thanks,

(quote: Too old/large for Btk to work; should be half-grown or less. So, handpick and watch for more. Safe to eat acording to the time interval stated on the label.) My tomatoes are growing against the south side of my house. They are big with lots of foliage so seeing the little beggars before they eat has proven difficult! I wondered about spraying the lower foliage which might get some of the younger ones coming out of the ground. If that's where they're coming from? Thanks, |
Our local Farm Production Advisor for the Southwest Go Team has informed me the worm is a Variegated cutworm (Peridroma saucia) and they love tunneling in tomatoes. Mystery solved, |

Style inspiration from the Paris ramp
Six years ago, India and China decided to establish a hotline between their respective Prime Ministers. In 2010, they went a step ahead and signed an agreement to formalise this. Yet, as of January 2015, there is no such hotline.
Union Home minister Rajnath Singh has approved the rehabilitation of flood victims and the restoration of the public infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir, which saw massive devastation caused by floods in September last year.
Kerala businessman Muhammed Nisham, who was arrested two days ago for ramming his Hummer into a security guard, has landed in further trouble after police on Saturday arrested a Malyalam film star and four female fashion models from a flat owned by him for possessing drugs.
Former IPS officer Kiran Bedi has been chosen to be the BJP's chief ministerial candidate as the party wanted an 'iconic face' who has a positive influence over Delhiites as its nominee for the top job in New Delhi, Union minister Arun Jaitley said on Saturday.
India on Saturday successfully test-fired its indigenously developed, intercontinental surface-to-surface nuclear capable ballistic missile 'Agni-5', which has a strike range of over 5000 kms and can carry a nuclear warhead of over one tonne, from Wheeler's Island off Odisha coast.
Ten labourers, including nine hailing from West Bengal, were killed when an effluent tank at a tannery collapsed near Vellore on Saturday.
Thousands of passengers had a harrowing time after the movement of trains running between Howrah and Sealdah and various parts of north India, including New Delhi, came to a standstill for over 8 hours following a Maoist threat, officials said on Saturday.
The Hyderabad Police have, on Thursday and Friday, rescued over a hundred kids enslaved in the hazardous industry of making the glittery bangles the old city markets around the Charminar here are famous for.
In a shocking incident, a panchayat in Bihar has ordered one of its members accused of raping a Mahadalit woman to pay her Rs. 41,000 and asked the victim to not report the incident, police said on Saturday.
The environment ministry will review projects that were approved or held back by the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government without a valid reason, environment minister Prakash Javadekar said on Friday.
In a counter-offensive, the Congress on Friday raked up allegations of corruption against former environment minister Jayanthi Natarajan, saying questions about her functioning were raised by industrialists who claimed that crucial files were cleared from her Chennai home.
As the controversy about S Jaishankar's appointment as foreign secretary dissipates, the Indian Foreign Service is looking forward to a realignment of the equation between the prime minister's office and the ministry of external affairs - with the latter reoccupying its space as the rightful custodian of foreign affairs.
President Barack Obama's message at Siri Fort, where he spoke about religious tolerance, was 'universal' and applied both to the Indian and American people, US ambassador to India Richard Verma said on Friday.
The UPA government brought in Jayanti Natarajan in place of Jairam Ramesh in July 2011 to provide steam to the economy by approving blocked projects. Over two years later, she was sacked for sitting on project approvals - the same reason Ramesh was shown the door.
In a bid to beef up its rapid deployment and strike capability, the defence ministry is set to approach the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) for the acquisition of 15 heavy-lift twin rotor Chinook and 22 Apache Longbow helicopters from US aircraft major Boeing.

Thank you Alice and Martynas! Thank you DebS Digs Photo!!!! what a great thing to say...makes me so happy! :)
I never thought something do crudely drawn would be so beautiful. You have a great imagination and talent for color. Hopefully that wasn't offensive lol.
Thank you Khavall :) No, your comment is the opposite of offensive - it's refreshing and honest :) It makes me think though - recently I have time only for quick sketches and then I work on them more to finish the feeling I want to express. Ideally, in future, I'll hope for a quality in my work to be combined with a true expression ...

I'm trying to decide on ucl lighting for a small remodeled kitchen. After reading posts here I have focused on Philips powercore profile and maxlite fixtures. The Philips seems to be highly recommened but the lengths available don't match my cabinets well. 3 of the cabinets are about 30" wide, measuring about 28" of available space due to the sides extending down. That means one 19" Philips fixture or two 12" Maxlites. Given the extra 5" of length with Maxlites would I be better off with them? What features of the Philips are superior and would those features outweigh the shorter length? I also need to choose color temmperature, 3000 or 4000 for Philips / 2700 or 5000 for maxlites - anyone have comments on what is best? Does anyone know if there are switched junction boxes available for the Maxlites? That would simplify my installation. Philips does have those available for their fixtures. Finally I noticed Savio Lighting has very slim T-4 fluorescent under cabinet fixtures that come in a wide range of lengths and are somewhat less expensive than the above LED lights. Has anyone tried these? How would the light quality compare to the LED's? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could use a combination of eW profiles joined either end to end or staggered. eg - 19" + 9". The MaxLite bars are thicker than the eW profile. In addition, the eW profile is a more complete solution - parts available for different configurations. LED lighting is more easily configured to provide an uninterrupted light run than fluorescents as the end to end gap is smaller. In addition, LED bars are hardier than thin glass tubes and have a much longer life span. If dimming is not required, and initial cost is important, t4 fluorescents could be a viable alternative. |

Hey lovelies! Here's what's been on my nails recently:
These vampy leopard nails are so out of my comfort zone, I feel sexay like Rihanna! I used Julep Bethany (layered over a white since it's a neon to bring out the color), Essie Licorice and Butter LONDON West End Wonderland. I just used a toothpick for this. Yes seriously.
Haaaay, my birthday was this week! You better believe I put a cupcake on my nail, I waited all year for that! I used Julep Alicia as the base and Illamasqua Lament for the frosting drips, plus little caviar beads for the sprinkles. They fell off immediately but hey, they looked cool for the picture.
Finally, these were my Valentine's Day Nails, some cute vintage roses with dots with Julep polishes for extra fun. What do you think? Would you try any of these looks out? Do you want to see a tutorial for any of them? Leave a comment and let me know!

Ok, The girlfreind loves her blue cheese. Real blue cheese you know the kind that almost wimpers when you cut into it. Problem is it is very hard to come by and very very expensive. I had a thought last night, the mold is just a simple bacteria that is living in the cheese. If I where to take a wheel of regular goat cheese and making a few holes in it then placing some of the bluer bits of a commercial blue cheese in these holes. Then I would place it in the cellar in a fairly humid box (tupperwear with a wetted sponge) until it starts to grow. What do you guys think? Would this work? Wing nut
They take inoculated tines and thrust them into the unaged cheese, at least that is how it is done now. Your idea would probably work to some degree, but you most likely are not going to get a consistent product. What you can do, is if you use a recipe for a regular type of cheese, inoculate with store bought Blue. However, in my experience with doing this, I'd have to take the stance of just buying the culture and doing it all from scratch. You can do this without a press, the curds go into molds and held at the proper humidity and temperature. You are on the right track with the tupperware...but you have to be careful that you don't introduce other undesirable molds.
ahhh yes that sounds good. Hmmmm leeners here I come!
Let me know how this turns out for you bro! I'm a huge fan of blue cheese and I could eat it with almost anything. Good Luck!
I was just wondering if wingnut ever made any blue cheese.
Hehe. I haven't heard of wingnut since Oh wait my bad, he was on 9/5 last

Clemens' lawyer hedging Congress' deposition request
After saying repeatedly that Roger Clemens will answer any questions Congress wants to ask him, a source familiar with the inquiry said Saturday night that attorney Rusty Hardin is hedging over the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's request to depose Clemens under oath next week because it might interfere with his defamation lawsuit against personal trainer Brian McNamee.
The source said Hardin is also making "noises" about not turning over a taped conversation between McNamee and two investigators for Hardin's office recorded Dec. 12, the day before the Mitchell report was released.
A segment of the tape was detailed in Clemens' complaint, describing McNamee as saying he was pressured into naming Clemens as a steroid user to federal investigators. Unlike the Jan. 5 phone conversation between Clemens and McNamee that was made public, however, Hardin has refused to release that tape and said it would come out in the discovery process of Clemens' lawsuit.
McNamee's lawyers said the Hardin's investigators tried to get McNamee to recant his story, a charge Hardin denies.
The source said that nothing has been decided and it's premature to say whether the committee will be forced to subpoena Clemens to testify before the committee. The source said all the issues will be raised Monday when Hardin meets with committee staffers in Washington, D.C., to discuss Clemens' cooperation.
On Sunday, Hardin released a statement reiterating Clemens' willingness to testify before Congress in February.
"I want to make very clear that there has been absolutely no change in Roger's willingness and indeed desire to testify under oath before Congress in a public hearing at a date of the Oversight Committee's choosing," Hardin said in the statement. "Any suggestion that he or we are having any second thoughts about that is absolutely false. All other pre-appearance issues and scheduling we will discuss privately with the committee and do not think it is appropriate to discuss those matters publicly."
Clemens, former Astros teammate Andy Pettitte and Houston-area resident Chuck Knoblauch have been asked to testify Feb. 13 before the congressional committee. The much-anticipated hearing was postponed from Jan. 16 so lawmakers can gather evidence and coordinate their investigation with the Justice Department.
Asked Saturday night whether Clemens will agree to a deposition or whether he will seek to limit the scope of committee investigators' questions, Hardin said in an e-mail response, "Great questions, and all appropriate things to discuss with the committee staff if they desire. We will be there to listen and address their concerns. The agenda is totally up to them."
Hardin's hesitation is the first hiccup in his no-holds-barred defense of Clemens. Hardin and Clemens have said categorically that Clemens never used steroids and that McNamee is lying. They filed a defamation lawsuit against Clemens' longtime trainer Jan. 6, but Hardin said at the time the lawsuit would not prevent Clemens from testifying before Congress in an open hearing.

Need exclusive music for your project? Send an inquiry.
This is next addition to my, free horror sound library. While creating this little collection, I have used synthetic sounds generated by Thor synthesizer of Propellerhead Reason. As a result, sound samples are most threatening and harsh. If you find that the higher frequencies in the audio samples are redundant, use a parametric equalizer. Although most of these sound samples are short phrases intended to cause consternation, surprise and fear, there are also some longer samples, allowing gradually escalate the horror. Apart from the fact that these samples can be used as background music for movie of horror, you can use them in any way, including ring tones, remixing, and more.
All music samples are in MP3 format for preview and in WAV format for free download.
You can cut, change, mix these samples and use them for any purposes (including commercial) in according to Creative Common License. Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

Working at the 1996 Summer Olympics and the 1994 World Cup are a few of the sporting events on camp director Shelly Watkins's resumé, which she draws on to run a summer camp for kids of all ages. A mother herself, she believes in giving each child individual attention, recognition, and respect, rewarding campers with high-fives and compliments for jobs well done. Together with assistant camp director Cortney Spiegel, she runs fun-packed day camps focused on arts, sports, field trips, and specialty programs. Professional counselors work with pintsize Pacinos in the Lights, Camera, Action class to make short films; kick off Nerf-themed sports events in the Nerf Extravaganza class; or venture out to bowling, movies, rollerblading, and laser tag during the Mega Adventure Field Trip. Shelly and her friendly crew also lead precamp and aftercamp activities for early-morning and evening supervision, and junior camp for campers aged 4¬–7 or 10-year-olds having their pre-preteen life crisis.
Putt N Glow Recreation Center illuminates group entertainment under an assemblage of black lights and glow-in-the-dark fixtures. The 18-hole indoor mini-golf course sets putting foursomes on a par-threatening voyage through scores of neon obstacles scattered about pitch-black greens, such as a rotating ferris wheel and a troposphere-slicing airplane propeller. Warm up club-toting biceps with a 30-minute session of either air hockey or ping-pong. Like on the mini-golf course, dimly lit fluorescence accompanies paddlers as they deflect disks and ping-pong balls back-and-forth like a hot potato or a room-temperature porcupine.
Though it may be the decorative centerpiece of a miniature golf course, there is nothing miniature about the waterfall at Lake Nepessing Golfland. The perpetually gushing rock formation looms above the emerald putting circuit, casting a mist into the air that cools down golfers as they attempt pressure-packed putts or handle golf balls fresh from the microwave. In addition to its Lilliputian links, the family fun center helps golfers groom their swings with a lighted driving range that offers both grass and artificial turf hitting areas. A staff of instructors roams the driving bays, doling out instruction and video-based swing analysis.
The thrum of humming engines fills Lake Nepessing Golfland's grounds, emanating from the center's outdoor go-kart track. The track is lighted for after-sunset racing, and guests can choose to drive solo or ride along friends, family, or adopted mannequins in a tandem kart.
The PGA-certified instructors at Boyne Golf Academy use advanced technological tools such as radar and form-analysis software to improve the strokes of students of all levels. Pupils receive one-on-one attention during the hands-on practice session, which focuses on identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each golfer's swing mechanics. The V1 Pro swing-analysis software provides club kids with visual feedback on their slicing or hooking tendencies, and the Sam PuttLab employs ultrasound to determine the gender of each golfer's putter. As the ball's postswing sojourn commences, the Doppler-based TrackMan radar system relays a 3-D real-time view and provides data on the dimpled orb's trajectory. Although this Groupon is only valid for lessons, King Par Superstore is jam-packed with golf equipment and apparel and performs professional club fittings to ensure that wrists and 9-irons get along instead of attacking each other with golf clubs.
A 63-hole golf complex carved through rolling, water-kissed terrain, Hawk Hollow features several sprawling venues for golfers of all stripes to hunt for birdies. The club's signature course, Eagle Eye, showcases 7,323 yards of fairways and greens sculpted with consultation from course architecture guru Pete Dye. Water comes into play on 14 holes, including the par-three 17th, which features an island green that—like peace between two feuding couples—can only be reached by bridge.
With 27 championship-length holes, the Hawk Hollow course itself lets players select which sets of nines to combine for a full 18-hole round, and two more executive courses—the par-36 Woodside and the links-style Falcon—round out the club's diverse range of courses. The emerald grounds also encompass the Little Hawk Putting Course, a circuit of bent-grass greens carved through sand traps and mounds shrouded in thick rough.
Founded in 1994 as a community-based recreation center, Joe Dumars Fieldhouse is a 100,000-square-foot facility that houses sports leagues and camps in addition to an arcade-equipped entertainment center and an indoor/outdoor restaurant. Dumars' value of sportsmanship lives on through league play and pickup games on one of nine basketball courts and in two full-sized hockey arenas. Camps and clinics provide activity-based instruction to little ones, and the entertainment center's mini-golf and mini-bowling areas host small-scale enjoyment without enforcing miniature-shoe rentals. After rigorous activity, guests can head to Joe's Southern Grill, an arena-themed eatery with tables made from the Pistons' NBA-championship basketball court and a kitchen supervised by head chef Bill Laimbeer.

Omeros Announces Positive OMS721 Data In Model Of Age-Related Macular Degeneration
SEATTLE, Nov. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) today announced positive data using OMS721, the lead human monoclonal antibody in Omeros' mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2) program, in a well-established animal model of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is characterized by abnormal growth of new blood vessels behind the retina of the eye and is a leading cause of vision loss in individuals over 60 years of age. Omeros is currently completing a Phase 1 clinical trial of OMS721 in healthy subjects.
The study was conducted by Dr. Puran S. Bora and colleagues at the Jones Eye Institute, Pat and Willard Walker Eye Research Center of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. In this animal model, new vessel growth in the eye is induced by laser treatment. Systemically administered OMS721 resulted in less than half of the blood vessel development compared to placebo treatment. The study included an antibody to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) that also reduced blood vessel growth, and OMS721 outperformed the anti-VEGF treatment. Anti-VEGF treatment is the current mainstay of commercially available therapies for neovascular AMD.
Omeros controls the worldwide rights to MASP-2 and all therapeutics targeting MASP-2, a novel pro-inflammatory protein involved in activation of the complement system – an important component of the immune system. The complement system plays a role in the inflammatory response to tissue damage or microbial infection, and both human genetic and animal studies have linked the complement system to AMD development. OMS721 selectively inhibits MASP-2, blocking the lectin pathway of the complement system while leaving intact the classical pathway, or the acquired immune response to infection. Omeros recently reported preclinical findings indicating that blockade of MASP-2 by OMS721 may also have a preventive or therapeutic effect in the treatment of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), a disorder that occurs in the microcirculation (e.g., venules and capillaries) of the body's organs, most commonly the kidney and brain.

ABC News' Mary Bruce (@marykbruce) reports:
Today is the day – the deadline to raise the debt ceiling – but with the Budget Control Act expected to pass the Senate and avert default, the president will pivot to jobs.
This morning Obama will meet with the AFL-CIO Executive Committee at the White House to discuss economic growth and putting Americans back to work.
Also today, the president will meet with the crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavor and the U.S. Commander of the ISS Expedition 26.
Last night, Endeavor Commander Mark Kelly was at the Capitol as his wife Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., made her triumphant return to the House floor after recovering from an assassination attempt earlier this year.
Later today, the president will meet privately with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.

Polpettone classico. Easy Meatballs With Herbs. These easy meatballs are flavored with dried herbs and fresh parsley and baked to perfection.
Use 85% ground beef for the most flavorful and moist meatballs. I use a small cookie scoop to help shape these meatballs. Polpette alle erbe aromatiche con salsa di peperoni e paprika. Ginger and Pork Dumplings. Next to Italian, Asian food is one of my most favorite cuisines (btw if you're ever in Birmingham you MUST go to Jensei, and order the Kadoma tuna, I can't stop dreaming about that one along with the tempura green beans oh sweet Mamma).
I could eat my weight in sushi, and dumplings don't stand a chance around me. It's embarrassing how many I can eat. I actually shared Ginger Pork Dumplings 4 years ago when I started my blog and I'm sure only 10 people saw it then so I'm revisiting because I'm a dumpling fiend and I think you should be too. Italian stuffed cabbage.
Prior to November, what I knew of stuffed cabbage rolls were limited to the Jewish/Eastern European variety, which I make the way my mother-in-law does.
I hadn't given it further thought because as far as I was concerned, it was never broken, and needed little improvement, and when there's little room for me to tinker in the kitchen, I quickly lose interest. But if I had, it might have occurred to me that cabbage, being one of the ultimate peasant foods, has probably been wrapped around meat that's been ground and then stretched (always budget-minded, those peasants) with other ingredients and cooked in a sauce in a zillion different ways over the centuries.
And oh, the fun we might have been having this whole time. Cardamom Chicken with Salt and Pepper Crust Recipe. Bahian Chicken and Shrimp Stew Recipe. Herb Pork Chops with Caramelized Shallots. Herb Pork Chops with Caramelized Shallots I had to adapt this Cooking Light recipe a little bit to suit what I had on hand.
The pork turned out tender, juicy, and so flavorful. I really loved the herb flavor on the pork and the caramelized shallots added right before serving. The original recipe said to mix shallots and butter together then add some to the cooked pork by my shallots were much too strong so I caramelized them instead. The pork was a big hit with everyone and we gobbled it right up. Ham & Cheese Endive Nachos Recipe. Is it just me, or does the word "nachos" strike a comfort food chord for you too?
There's something about the combo of crunchy, cheesy, salty, and juicy that tastes so darn good! The non-comforting part about nachos is their tendency to be a bit higher in the calorie and fat counts. Well, I recently came up with a lighter, healthier version of nachos when I needed a quick snack for my kiddos. Creamy Onion Tart Recipe. Home Cooking with Jean-Georges | Clarkson Potter, 2011 For four generations, the Vongerichten family has been turning out this tart, which is like a quiche but creamier.
–Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Roast Chicken with Fennel, Potatoes, and Citrus: Recipe. Preheat oven to 450°.
Toast fennel seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until fragrant and slightly darker, 2–3 minutes. Let cool; finely grind in spice mill. Mix fennel, lemon zest, garlic, 4 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set spice mixture aside. Tartelette. It looks like the bout of bronchitis going around town has find a way to sneak into our house and beat me to pulp.
Or at least it feels like it. I can't complain though. Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes. "Scalloped" is an attractive word, isn't it?
When I hear it I think of several things: first, there's scallops, as in the seafood—totally delicious. Then there's the scalloped shape that can live on the edge of a pair of shorts or on the collar of a woman's blouse—always pretty and dainty. And of course scalloped potatoes also comes to mind, which carries my imagination to a land of crispy potato skins drenched in a sea of cheese and cream.
I can think of no better place to exist, actually. Reuben Bread. Reuben Bread My Irish husband has been demanding Corned Beef lately.
Must be something in the air causing this uncontrollable craving… or it must be that St. Posole Stew. Recipe Yield : Serves 8 to 10 Ingredients 3 thick slices slab bacon¾ pound pork shoulder or neck, cut into 1-inch cubes¾ pound lamb shoulder or neck, cut into 1-inch cubesSalt and freshly milled pepper2 medium onions, chopped4 cloves garlic, minced3 to 4 quarts chicken stock, as needed2 pounds dried posole10 fresh green chile peppers-seeded, deveined, and chopped2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano2 pinches saffron threads¾ pound linguica sausage¾ pound chorizo or Italian sweet sausage1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley Directions. » Melanzane ripiene - Ricetta Melanzane ripiene. » Pollo ai peperoni alla romana - Ricetta Pollo ai peperoni alla romana.

Heat 1 cup water, soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, scallions, garlic, ginger, and shallot in a medium saucepan over high heat until boiling.
Add pork belly (it won't be submerged). Cover with a lid left slightly ajar. Transfer to oven and cook, turning pork occasionally, until pork is fully tender and a cake tester or thin knife inserted into its center meets little resistance, 3 to 4 hours.Transfer contents to a sealed container and refrigerate until completely cool.

There's something rather poignant in the photographs from 'No Going Back.' Perhaps it has to do with the combination of the title, somber tones and broken down buildings that creates this feeling of hopelessness.
Photographed by Anthony Redpath, the 'No Going Back' photo series is currently being exhibited at the Bau-Xi Photo gallery. Redpath must have used a great lighting setup, since each cinematic shot looks like it was part of a movie scene.

What's the latest news in the medical journals this month? Find out what your doctor is reading.
- Statins May Decrease the Positive Effects of Exercise
- Changes to Mental Disorders Manual May Go Too Far
- More News in Brief: During Hospital Days, Heart Failure Patients Might Not Need to Restrict their Salt and Fluid; New Guidelines Say Doctors Should Screen All Adults for 'Risky' Drinking; Bed Rest Does Not Help, and Might Harm
Statins May Decrease the Positive Effects of Exercise
Statins are trusted medicines for lowering cholesterol. They are the most widely prescribed medicines in the United States. But is it possible that they might interfere with your physical fitness? A small new study suggests that taking a statin drug to lower cholesterol may reduce some of the positive effects of exercise. The study was published online by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
The study included 37 people who were overweight or obese. They were randomly divided into 2 groups. Both groups completed a 12-week program of almost-daily supervised exercise. One group also took 40 milligrams of simvastatin daily. After the 12 weeks, people who did not take statins showed a 10% improvement in their aerobic fitness. Those taking statins improved by only about 1%. To determine fitness, the researchers measured oxygen use during exercise. This is a measure of muscle activity.
Researchers also took biopsy samples of muscle tissue. Mitochondria activity in muscles increased by 13% for people who had been exercising without a statin. Mitochondria are the parts of cells that turn glucose (sugar) and oxygen into energy. Among those who took statins, on the other hand, mitochondrial activity decreased 4.5%.
Do statins blunt the benefits of exercise? Perhaps. The study is very small, and it was very short. But it adds to the evidence that statins are difficult on the muscles. The drugs can cause muscle aches in 5% or more of people who take them, regardless of how physically active a person is. In a previous study, Boston marathon runners who were taking statin drugs had a higher creatinine kinase (CK) level in their blood than runners who were not on statins. This was a sign of muscle stress or breakdown. In general, there is a higher rate of complaints about statin side effects among people who are involved in an "intense form of sport" than among less physically active patients.
Exercise is superb for heart health. Statins are also good for heart health. But what should you do if taking these medicines reduces the benefits you get from exercise? For starters, do not give up on exercise if you take a statin. Unless your doctor advises you to do so, don't stop your statin, either. So far, from what we know, people with heart disease who exercise and take statins are still better protected over the long term than those who do one without the other. This has been shown in a large study of veterans.
This new study lasted only 12 weeks and was very small. So we can't draw definite conclusions from it. We need to have a larger, long-term, placebo controlled study to see if the findings are repeated.
Even as we learn more about how statins may affect muscles, it is hard to argue with the proven benefits of these drugs. Statins are recommended for anyone who has had a prior heart attack or stroke. They are also recommended for people who are at very high risk for having a heart attack. This includes people who have multiple factors that increase their risk of heart disease. Still, it is bad news for statins. People who are at average or low risk for heart disease should be hesitant to start a statin.
Changes to Mental Disorders Manual May Go too Far
Psychiatrists rely on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to diagnose a wide range of mental disorders. It lists criteria for every psychiatric illness. Psychiatrists have used the fourth edition of this book for almost 20 years. This month, a new edition, the "DSM-V," was published.
Many psychiatrists and other physicians have harshly criticized this updated version. The DSM-IV required fairly extreme symptoms before a person could be diagnosed with a psychiatric condition. By contrast, the DSM-V requires milder symptoms.
In this new version, grief is considered a form of major depression. Typical or normal events, such as temper tantrums in children and "senior moments" in older people, now have medical names, turning them into diagnoses. Some children who would not have qualified under DSM-IV will now qualify under DSM-V as having attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism.
According to Dr. Allen Frances, the head of the task force that created the DSM-4 two decades ago, this new version will deceive Americans into thinking normal emotions are a sign of disease. "Normal needs to be saved from powerful forces trying to convince us that we are all sick," he said.
Critics have complained that the DSM-5 will:
- Stigmatize people who should be considered normal
- Lead to psychiatric medicines being prescribed to people who do not need them
- Make it challenging to do research
With this amount of controversy, we can only hope that the committee working on the sixth version won't waste any time getting started.
- During Hospital Stay, Heart Failure Patients Might Not Need to Restrict Salt and Fluid Intake. Keeping to a low salt diet, particularly one that includes strict limits on fluids, is difficult for heart failure patients. A small study suggests that hospitalized patients who are getting intravenous (IV) diuretic medicines may not need to follow this strict diet while they are in the hospital. The study was published online May 20 by JAMA Internal Medicine.
The study enrolled 75 heart failure patients who were hospitalized for edema (heavy, swollen legs and ankles or congested lungs) due to heart failure. Half of the patients were randomly assigned to have a limited diet (only 800 milliliters per day of fluid, and no more than 800 milligrams of salt per day). The other group did not have a special diet. Both groups received IV diuretics, which trigger urine production. The two groups lost weight with equal speed. After the hospital stay, all of the patients received the same instructions about fluid and salt intake. They had similar readmission rates to the hospital at 30 days. The main difference between the groups was that the patients who had to limit their fluids and salt intake complained more of feeling thirsty when they were in the hospital.
This study suggests that limiting fluids and salt while being treated with IV diuretics in the hospital makes too small a difference to be practical. However, limiting salt intake outside of the hospital has been linked with better heart failure control. For example, heart failure patients whose diets are lowest in salt are hospitalized less often than those whose diets are moderate to high in salt. This study should not change our practice for patients who are managing heart failure out of the hospital.
- New Guidelines Say Doctors Should Screen All Adults for 'Risky' Drinking. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force says primary care doctors should ask patients about their drinking and offer counseling to those with risky drinking behavior. There is clear evidence that brief counseling from a primary care doctor -- even a short conversation -- can help some drinkers cut down. The task force suggests that doctors ask women or people older than 65, "How many times in the past year have you had four or more drinks in a day?" For men, it's five or more drinks in a day.
- Pregnancy Bed Rest Does Not Help and Might Harm. Almost 1 out of 5 pregnant women has been told to limit activity or go on bed rest at some point during pregnancy to prevent premature birth. But new research suggests that bed rest does not seem to prevent premature births, and it may even worsen that risk. The report was published May 14 in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
In this study, about 250 women received care after being diagnosed as having a "short cervix" — a condition that often leads to bed rest. The women were asked to either limit sexual activity, reduce or stop work, or go on bed rest. These women reported back to the researchers how well they followed the advice. When birth events were compared, 37% of women who took the advice of staying on bed rest had a premature baby. Only 17% of women who decided not to follow the bed rest advice had a premature baby.
This study was not a randomized study, so it leaves room for doubt about the results. But it is the best evidence we have. Women should not be advised to go on bed rest unless they are participating in a randomized research study, according to one expert who reviewed this study. We may be on our way to proving that bed rest is not beneficial. Instead, it is "bunk."

The Women's Research and Resource Center, supported by the College of Humanities and Associated Students, serves as a place where students on campus and in the community can find resources and services.
The Center is directed by Prof. Shira Brown, a CSUN alumnus and lecturer in the Gender and Women's Studies Department. The Center has an Assistant Director, usually a student from GWS. The present Assistant Director is Yereni Ruiz.
Services at the Center
Services are offered in 3 main areas: Education, Support and Referrals.
The classes, workshops, and seminars offered at the Women's Center are designed to address issues of concern to women.
Seminar and workshop topics range from self-defense to personal health and from spirituality to political issues. The Women's Center is dedicated to bringing well known speakers to address contemporary issues facing CSUN's women. Most programs and events are academically co-sponsored by the Women's Studies Department.
The Women's Center also houses a library which provides an informal atmosphere for studying, socializing and relaxing.
Informal peer support is always available at the Women's Center. Support and discussion groups offer valuable forums for personal growth and exploration in such topics as sexuality, self-esteem and body image, health and feminist spirituality. New groups form as interest develops. Suggestions are always welcome.
The Women's Center maintains an extensive referral file for the campus and community. This resource is available on a phone-in or walk-in basis. The file encompasses a wide range of local practitioners, agencies and organizations specializing in such areas of concern as women's health, drug and alcohol abuse, counseling and legal aid.
Each semester, the Women's Center hosts an Open House. Events are planned throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. In March, the Women's Center sponsors Women's History Month with a series of events celebrating women from diverse perspectives.
The Women's Resource & Research Center thrives because of the students who volunteer there and staff the positions available. Please contact the Director or Assistant Director of the Center to participate.
The WRRC's Library is finally catalogued. Check out our 1,500+ holdings at LibraryThing. We have books from all genres, including many GWS readers and textbooks. Find something you can use? Come by the Center to check it out.

This provides you with a shared calendar space that highlights events with a Gender as well Queer focus across campus.


text: Image text transcribed for accessibility: The goal of this lab is to investigate two important properties of FIR filters which are represented by the linear constant coefficient difference equations. To implement the difference equation, you will need the delay function from lab 8. The input output relationship of the FIR filter is represented by the following difference equation: y[n] = bkx[n-k] In your report include all the M-files and plots. Function M-files are required to have a detailed help section and the codes should be well commented. Create a function called FIR_Filter Inputs: X (row vector), bk (row vector of real coefficients) Output: Y Generate an error message if any of the inputs does not meet the condition. Evaluate the response of FIR filter to X as an input using the difference equation (and the delay function). Store the output values in Y. Linear systems have the property that if x1[n] rightarrow y1 [n] and x2|n| rightarrow y2[n] then x[n] = alpha x1[n] + beta x2[n]x[n] rightarrow y[n] = alpha y1[n] + beta y2[n] Create a function called Linearity_Test Inputs: alpha, beta (any constant number-no condition), X1, X2 (row vectors), bk (row vector of real coefficients) No output Generate an error message if any of the inputs X1, X2 or bk do not meet the condition. Call the function FIR_Filter for (X1, bk) and (X2, bk) and store the results in Y1 and Y2 respectively. Evaluate the expression alpha*X1 + beta*X2 and store the result in X. Call the function FIR_filter for (X, bk) and store the output in Y. Store the absolute value of the difference of Y and the expression alpha*Y1 + beta*Y2 in a variable called ERR Plot Y, alpha*Y1 + beta*Y2 and ERR, against their element numbers, using stem function, in the same figure window (three subplots in a column). Label the axes and title the subplots. Compare Y to the result of the expression alpha*Y1 + beta * Y2. Create a message to display the result of linearity test in the command window (It is recommended to define a limit on ERR values and to consider the system to be linear if the error values are negligible). A discrete-time system is said to be time-invariant if, when an input is delayed by n0, the output is delayed by the same amount. We can express this condition as x[n - n0] rightarrow y(n - n0) Where x[n] rightarrow y[n] Create a function called TI_Test Inputs: X (row vector), bk (row vector of real coefficients). n0 (integer, greater than I) No output Call the FIR_filter function for (X, bk) and store the result in Y. Use the delay function to delay X by n0 and store the delayed sequence in Xd. Call the FIR_filter function for (Xd, bk) and store the result in Yd. Plot Yd and the delayed version of Y by n0 (created by using the delay function), against their element numbers using stem function, in the same figure window (two subplots in a column). Label the axes and title the subplots. Compare Yd to the delayed version of Y. Generate a message to display the result of time-invariance test in the command window. Suppose that the FIR filter is represented by: y[n] = 2 x[n] + 2x[n - 1] Is it high-pass or low-pass? Test the filter for lineanty and time invariance using the following inputs: x1[n] = 5 cos (pi/2 n) x2[n] =3/2cos(pi/4 n)

After he came back to Denver, Wickliff continued to talk to Goossen frequently. And in the months before Wickliff died, Goossen sensed that something wasn't right with his friend. "I know he was trying to talk to me about certain things, but he just couldn't quite talk about it," says Goossen. "There were things he said and I thought, 'I wonder why he asked me that?' He'd say, 'Larry, do you think I'm tough? Really tough?' I'd say, 'Yes, of course.'"
Wickliff even asked Cindie Goossen if she'd mind if he came back to California to live with them. According to police, he was planning to leave Denver the same week he was murdered. "He wouldn't come out and say, 'Larry, I'm in trouble, I need help,'" Goossen says. "But he'd say things that sounded weird, that didn't sound like Steve. He didn't want me to think he couldn't handle it. The one thing that bothers me is, I wasn't smart enough to think that something might be wrong."
Wickliff apparently kept his drug use hidden from Greg Stevinson and the other developers with whom he was working. But after his return to Colorado, his coke habit only worsened. In the spring of 1994 he was arrested on charges of possession after police in Parker spotted his car sitting by the side of the road in the middle of the night. The driver's-side door was open and the keys were in the ignition. "We found him laying down in a field," recalls Parker police sergeant Ron Combs. "He was really incoherent." Officers took Wickliff to the hospital, and the charges were dismissed after he agreed to enter a drug treatment program. The embarrassing incident never made the local newspapers.
Denver police say Wickliff was blowing huge amounts of cash on drugs before his murder. Wickliff's neighbors in southeast Denver, still in shock over the violence that invaded their quiet enclave of shade trees and bird-feeders, remember the constant stream of visitors to Wickliff's home. "There were people coming and going at all hours," says one neighbor who asked not to be identified. "You don't see stuff like that here. They were all black and all young and came at all hours of the night. They were real lowlifes. They were here for fifteen minutes, just long enough to buy."
Many of the residents of the townhome complex are retired, says the neighbor, and weren't streetwise enough to know what was happening next door. "The people here are old, and they're naive when it comes to drugs," she says. "They didn't understand what was going on, and they wouldn't know to call the police. Now they feel helpless. They think, 'Why didn't we do anything?'"
Denver police have a list of seven people who were frequent visitors to Wickliff's townhome, and they believe that at least one of those people is the murderer. Homicide detective Don Vecchi says the people Wickliff's neighbors saw come and go were mostly crack dealers. He adds that he has two prime suspects in the murder and hopes to make an arrest soon. "I think one person did the killing, but there might have been two or three people there," says Vecchi.
Wickliff's autopsy showed substantial amounts of benzoylecgonine--a breakdown product of cocaine--in his blood. The autopsy report also describes nearly a dozen cuts and abrasions on Wickliff's head. Denver chief medical examiner Thomas Henry believes Wickliff probably didn't die immediately from his injuries but would have died within an hour of the beating from bleeding and swelling around the brain. He also says the murderer or murderers probably used some kind of blunt instrument to beat Wickliff.
Wickliff was still in good enough shape to beat almost anybody in a fair fight, says Goossen. He thinks Wickliff must have been cornered by several assailants. "It wasn't one guy, that I can guarantee," he says. "They would have been dead themselves. I don't care if there were three guys or more--Steve could have taken them on. But most people won't fight hand to hand anymore--they're chickenshits."
After Wickliff's death, his son, John, who still lives in Denver, gave his father's treasured dog, Jake, to Goossen. The golden retriever now serves as a constant reminder of his good friend, says Goossen. Like so many other people who cared about Wickliff, Goossen has been thinking about all the things he could have done differently. If only Wickliff had left Denver a few days earlier, he'd be safe now in Big Bear. If only someone had known how serious Wickliff's drug habit had become, his death might have been prevented. If only Wickliff had asked his friends for help, it would have been gladly given.
But the small-town boy made good had survived in the real estate world without asking for anyone's help. And Goossen says his friend may have been too proud to admit how much trouble he was in.
"Steve never made any excuses for his life," Goossen says. "He never blamed anybody else for his problems. He lived his life the way he wanted to. The only ones he hurt were the people who loved him.

Warren MacKenzie
From MN150
Winning Nomination
Early training at the Art Institute of Chicago and a pottery apprenticeship with Bernard Leach in Cornwall brought Warren and his wife Alix to Minnesota in 1948. In the five decades since, his roles as professor and mentor have shaped and inspired the aesthetics, hands, community, and business ethics of generations of potters in the upper Midwest. Warren is the international emissary for the merger of the provocative qualities of clay with a functional pot. And, of course, time spent in conversation with Warren about his favorite topic is as valuable an acquisition as an example of his work. He still gives workshops to young students. He promotes the work of others. Last year's recognition of his contributions by the Minnesota Crafts Council and the Northern Clay Center is indicative of the broad level of respect and inspiration he engenders among his peers. There are few design publications, local or national, that have not featured stories on Warren and his work. In March of 1997, Avis Berman produced an article on contemporary American ceramics, for Architectural Digest. Berman discussed Warren's belief that creating a useful pot does not set a limit on artistic expression. And he quotes Warren, saying, "The forms and surfaces [that potters] create are made by the pressure and the grip of their hands on the clay. This contact between maker and material can become a direct and moving experience that may be shared by the users of the pot." This humble man is a distinguished human being and artist.
History(1924- ) A master potter and a born teacher Warren MacKenzie once said that he became a potter "by the back door." Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri, and in Chicago, MacKenzie was always interested in art. His post-high school training at the Art Institute of Chicago, however, was interrupted in 1943 by his service in the U.S. Army. Returning to school on the GI Bill, he found that the painting classes he wanted to take were full and so turned to a course in ceramics instead. MacKenzie's career shift turned out to be a fortuitous one. Today he is one of Minnesota's best-known and most prolific potters and teachers. The beauty in MacKenzie's work lies, above all else, in its functionality. While studying in Chicago, he was inspired by pottery exhibited at the Field Museum of Natural History. "The pots that really interested us," he said in a 2002 interview, "were the pots that people had used in their everyday life, and we began to think--I mean, whether it was ancient Greece or Africa or Europe or wherever, the pots that people had used in their homes were the ones that excited us. And so we thought, if those are the kinds of pots from every culture that interest us, why would we think that it should be any different in mid-North America twentieth century?" After an apprenticeship with British potter Bernard Leach, who was known for his spare, Asian-inspired designs, MacKenzie settled into a studio in Stillwater, Minnesota. In 1953, he began his long teaching career at the University of Minnesota, where he was named a Regents Professor in 1984. He is now professor emeritus. Over the years, MacKenzie has inspired hundreds of students at the university and at summer programs throughout the country. Resource Links
