Larranaga came up with ten points that characterized a perfect possession. "It all starts with defense," the coach explains. "You get back, you're in a stance, you're seeing ball and seeing man."
Now he had his own style.
Antonio Daniels was sleeping off a win from the night before against Central Michigan when he blinked awake to see Larranaga standing in his cramped dorm room. The cold night was still pressing in at the windows of Offenhauer Tower. It was February 8, 1996.

Dizzy with sleep, the Bowling Green point guard shot his coach a puzzled look. "Antonio," the older man said in a level tone. "Your phone is about to ring, and it's going to be your mother."
The call came right then. The 20-year-old's mom quickly broke the news: Chris, Daniels' older brother and a standout NBA prospect at the University of Dayton, had died in his sleep from a freak heart ailment. Daniels collapsed weeping into Larranaga's arms.
Daniels remembers getting dressed and dragging himself into the coach's car. They drove two hours south to Dayton so he could be with his family. When Chris was buried later that week in Columbus, the entire Bowling Green basketball team showed up. Daniels, wearing his brother's number 33, returned to the court later that month and scored a last-minute layup that beat Eastern Michigan.
During the following summer, Larranaga recalls handing Daniels a key to the Bowling Green gym. A lanky six-foot-four with an impressive 80-inch wingspan and flashbulb smile, Daniels worked his grief out on the court. By his senior year, Daniels' field-goal percentage went from 47.8 to 54.7, and he became the fourth pick in the 1997 NBA draft.
"I've been through heaven and hell with Coach L," Daniels says today. "For me, it was important to have Coach L there, period. I remember when I got drafted — you can have ten people at your table. Outside of my family members, I had Coach L there."
That kind of connection was all a part of the environment Larranaga built throughout the early and mid-'90s at Bowling Green. Central to that was knocking down the boundary between work and home. Liz Larranaga understood this. "He once said to me that if you just measured a life by wins and losses, it would be pretty empty," she says today.
As they were growing up, Jay and his younger brother, Jon, were always running around the locker room or traveling with their father on recruiting trips. Jay got an early glimpse of his dad defying the odds when the middle-schooler tagged along for the December 1988 University of Kentucky Christmas tournament. The Falcons nailed the nationally ranked Wildcats 56-54 before a hometown crowd.
The Larranagas lived near campus. The team would hang out in the finished basement. "They had a big-screen TV, they had a big huge couch, they had a pool table, and one of the assistant coaches [Keith Noftz] would always do card tricks for us," recalls Anthony Stacey, a power forward on Larranaga's later BGSU teams. "Those are the times you never forget."
Dinner invitations came often, particularly when Larranaga got wind players had blown through their food stipends. The menu was always filet mignon, rice, rolls, and freshly baked chocolate-chip cookies. "At Bowling Green, he wasn't making what he's making now, but he went all out for his team," Daniels says. "As a player, you think, 'He's a guy I want to be on the front lines for.' "
The players were so comfortable stopping over at the Larranaga house that once, when the coach was putting up a coaching staff job applicant overnight, some guys knocked on the door at 11 p.m., asking to meet the new guy. Larranaga invited them in but told them he wasn't going to wake his houseguest.
Keeping the door open for his players meant Larranaga was there with life advice when needed. In the winter of 1995, Larranaga called a stocky freshman guard named DeMar Moore into his office. Poor classroom performance meant the player was academically ineligible. The news came at a bad time. Moore had just found out that his girlfriend back in Sandusky, Ohio, was pregnant.
"I think he was a little disappointed, [but] we talked, and he put things in perspective about what I needed to do," Moore says now. "I never really had a male figure in my life, and he showed me the ropes. He said to use it as a lesson."
Each day before practices and games, the coach offered a "Thought of the Day," anything from the Bible to Sun Tzu's The Art of War. "If you asked 100 of my players what their favorite thought was, probably 90 of them would say: 'Begin with the end in mind,' " Larranaga says, referring to a Stephen Covey quote.
Sometimes he'd cut the lights in the locker room, ask his players to close their eyes, and walk the team through visualizing victories. Each game day, a different player was assigned to pick a song for the locker room. On court, his trademark whistle meant authority.
"Whenever he whistled, we'd automatically look over and know he wasn't happy with us," Stacey says. "I don't know how he does it. It's the loudest thing I've ever heard."

NEW YORK -- Republican presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan threw a new salvo at the gay and lesbian community on the eve of the New Hampshire GOP caucus Feb. 19 when he stated that he would not hire anyone openly gay for a staff position in a Buchanan administration. The candidate, already under fire over a controversy involving two former campaign aides with ties to racist groups, also reiterated his position against gays in the military.
"Buchanan is clearly appealing to the homophobia of the religious right and working class, mostly rural, southern white voters who have been fed a line of propaganda, and fear that gays and lesbians and other minorities want 'special rights' and privileges," said Mark F. Johnson, News Media Director for GLAAD. "He is just adding to the 'us against them' mentality among conservative Republicans by making statements like this," Johnson added.
Buchanan stated that gays and lesbians would be allowed in his administration only under one condition--that they remain in the closet. "I've worked with people in the Nixon White House who were gay, not openly gay." They're good people in a lot of ways, according to Buchanan, who said that he would not hesitate to have "folks like that " in his administration. However, he warned that there would be no "Roberta Achtenberg's," referring to the former assistant secretary of HUD who left the Clinton administration to run for mayor of San Francisco. Achtenberg was openly lesbian while working in the administration.
Instead of moving forward and continuing the advances made in recent years, Buchanan would rather turn back the clock to the days when being gay in government was something to keep deeply hidden for fear of blackmail. "The president who takes the nation into the 21st century should be looking ahead with a new vision of equality and inclusion, tapping into the talents of a cross-section of Americans," stated Johnson. "Instead, Buchanan would send us back to the ugly period of separatism where the rights and privileges of whole groups of people were subjugated because of the hatred and misplaced fears of others." Johnson concluded that these kind of statements along with recent negative comments made by the Republican presidential candidates on same-gender marriage, will make gays and lesbians walk swiftly over to the Democrats in November.
GLAAD is a national organization that promotes fair, accurate and inclusive representation as a means of challenging discrimination based on sexual orientation or identity.

If anything, the laws against things like child pornography keep getting stronger over time. There's absolutely zero tolerance for anyone who is found in possession of print material, computer files or videos depicting minors performing sexual acts. I've heard stories of minors getting charged with production and distribution of child pornography simply by texting nude photos of themselves or other friends on their smart phones.

Chief of Staff—Steve Bosack
Steve Bosack re-joined the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) in October 2009 as Chief of Staff for NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz. Mr. Bosack served as Senior Policy Advisor during Matz's first term on the NCUA Board from 2003-2005. Mr. Bosack worked with Matz on initiatives to encourage credit unions to adopt member outreach plans, new savings products, and many other services to attract consumers who are underserved by other insured financial institutions.
In the intervening years, Mr. Bosack became Deputy Director of the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) shortly after Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005. In this newly created position, Mr. Bosack played a central role in the largest disaster relief effort in credit union history: $3.5 million in grants to benefit credit unions on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Mr. Bosack helped oversee all NCUF programs including REAL Solutions, Innovation Grants, Federal Grants, Development Education, Social Impact Management, the Community Investment Fund, and disaster relief (CUAid).
From 1993-2003, Mr. Bosack served as Vice President in the Communications office of the Credit Union National Association. One of the highlights of Mr. Bosack's CUNA career was participating in the public relations and coalition building behind the Credit Union Campaign for Consumer Choice. His team reached out to mass media and lawmakers and made the case for credit unions to legally serve more members. He helped forge relationships with the Consumer Federation of America and other consumer advocates to publicly encourage consumers to join credit unions instead of banks. Mr. Bosack's efforts contributed to the campaign's ultimate success: overturning a Supreme Court decision and enacting the Credit Union Membership Access Act of 1998.
Mr. Bosack graduated with honors from Boston College in 1987, earning a double major in both Communications and Economics. He later became a member of the International Economics Honor Society.

I can't even taste the sugar of the disaccharide maltose. When I drink a beer, it tastes so overpoweringly bitter that any sweetness it might contain is lost.
Also, multi-grain bread just tastes savory to me. I agree with the article's statement that maltose isn't as sweet as the other disaccharides.

I really like shopping at this particular store. It's really clean inside and the people who work there have always been very friendly and helpful. The parking lot is well lit with plenty of spaces too. They always have great sales as well.
This store is an older store as far as the building goes, but all in all it's kept clean and the products themselves are fresh. The employees are always quite friendly and willing to help if you can't find something. I love to use my coupons and match them with the current sales. Can't beat their Gas program too!

Kids' Study Spaces Earn High Marks
by Shawn Gauthier · 11 photos · 3 comments
Instead of using an everyday desk and chair, consider unusual designs and different layouts. You never know; they could just inspire your child to become a designer.
by Neslihan Pekcan/Pebbledesign
Spruce up the area with fresh paint. In fact, let your children tag along with you to the paint store so they can help decide. A room painted in a color they love and choose will give them a sense of ownership and pride in the space, hopefully urging them to spend more time in it. (A TV may not be the best idea, though.)
by Cedo Design
If painting the walls is out of the question, get creative by sprucing up the desk. Give it a fresh coat of paint or add patterned liners inside the drawers for a hit of color each time your kids go hunting for a pencil.
by Moon Design + Build
Just as you would in your own office, accessorize your kids' workspace with things they love. These make it more personalized and comfortable, and less like a barren desk that screams work, work, work.
by Fiorella Design
Install a bulletin board so your kids can pin up anything from homework to-do lists to their latest art projects. Fill it with decorative pieces so the space feels lively and inspiring.
by Artistic Designs for Living, Tineke Triggs
Equip the space with the appropriate supplies. This will keep your kids from wandering to your storage closet to "look for crayons," only to escape to the swing set when your back is turned.
Kids Art Studio
If you have two or more children, figure out how they learn best. Do they prefer to study together? If so, set up the desk so it can accommodate two. Your kids may be more inclined to come inside if they know they can at least be in each other's company while studying.
by TruexCullins Architecture + Interior Design
If you have the space, create a truly collaborative study environment. Encourage your kids to work together to solve their homework problems. Studying feels less like a chore when everyone teams up.
by Ellen Grasso & Sons, LLC
Perhaps your kids prefer their own personal space. Allocating a desk to each child will give them adequate storage for their individual items and supplies. Don't forget to have a little fun with the décor; playful wallpaper and bright colors make for a much more enjoyable study room.
by Laura Manning Bendik
If you have a space in your home that's not being used, perhaps you could convert it into your child's special study room. Having a personal escape may encourage them to spend time in it.
Eclectic Home Office
Finally, try your best to bring the sunshine in by setting up a study area near windows. If kids can't be outside, at least they can feel the fresh air while tackling the ins and outs of photosynthesis.

Examples 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 are areas not only sensational for kids but adults alike. This is the way a real study/work area should be designed. Plenty of room to stretch out and work along with real storage that we never have enough of is what makes these examples the pinnacle of practicality and great looks.
Such an irony. We're using desktops, laptops, tablets and everything in between yet were forever running out of places to really accomplish something we're working on. These homes have solved the problem, but with style!

Research Narrative:
My research is focused on the cultural politics of heritage in global context. To date my work has centered mostly on ecotourism and cultural tourism sites in Oaxaca, Mexico and the United States, although I am also interested in museums as important sites for the production of meaning. My interest is in the differing interpretations of material culture items and the environment that are constructed/contested by various stakeholders. I focus on the material culture of the people who visit, live, and work in such localities in order to better understand the transnational articulations in which they are embedded.
My first book, Made in Mexico: Zapotec Weavers and the Global Ethnic Art Market (Indiana U. Press, 2008) is an ethnographic account that follows weavers, designs, wool, and finished textiles primarily between Oaxaca, Mexico and the American Southwest. Following weavers and textiles between Oaxaca and the Southwest required a multi-sited approach and enabled me to understand how the lives and careers of Zapotec weavers (and their textiles) are produced and negotiated through the practices of a host of actors—a transnational "community of practice." I'm currently extending this research into Northern India where similar textiles are now being produced for markets in the American Southwest.
My research efforts are now also focused on the Pacific Coast of Oaxaca, Mexico and on community museum development at an ecotourism site. In this project I am employing a participatory action research methodology to work together with a community coop focused on mangrove conservation. I am in the early stages of this project and it will require me (and my students) to travel to Oaxaca for the next several years and will culminate in the opening of a museum and traveling exhibit as well as the publication of an exhibition catalog chronicling the lives and work of the members of the cooperative.

Local farmer, actor makes return to stage after accident
Five weeks ago Ed Bolton was working on his hobby farm outside of Park Rapids when something went horribly wrong.
It was around 2 p.m. Bolton was planting beans.
He was using a Handyman Jack. According to the manufacturer, the maximum load capacity is 4,660 pounds at four feet, but the jacks are tested to 7,000 pounds of pressure.
"The jack handle hit me in the face with the full force of the load I was lifting," Bolton recalled Monday.

opinionAlso in this section: Court sets worrying precedent by sequestering salary of journalist in libel suit by Reporters Without Borders On August 18 Reporters Without Borders wrote to Panama's minister of government and justice, Héctor Alemán, voicing concern about a 9 August court order sequestering the property and salary of La Prensa reporter Jean Marcel Chéry to the value of 18,753 dollars (about 15,000 euros) in payment of libel damages to supreme court judge Winston Spadafora. "We hold that the sentence is disproportionate and is a step backwards in a country that has just finally repealed laws that were especially unfavorable to press freedom," the organization said. "We fear that it sets a dangerous precedent and will encourage journalists to censor themselves." Judge Spadafora sued Chéry over a report claiming that Spadafora turned a blind eye to a two-million-dollar debt which one of his friends, Jean Figali, owed a government entity, the Interoceanic Regional Authority (ARI). Chéry was notified of the court order on 16 August, the same day La Prensa ran a story accusing Spadafora of being a poor supreme court judge. On August 2003, Spadafora sued Chéry, fellow journalist Gustavo Aparicio and the El Panamá América daily newspaper over a report accusing Spadafora of mismanaging public funds as interior minister. Chéry and Aparicio were sentenced to 12 months in prison for libel but were pardoned later by then-President Mireya Moscoso.

i cried because i couldnt do anything about my anger. i realized everyone uses or takes advantage of me. even my "friends".
i know i need to stand up for myself, but im too nice. it's not in my nature.
Got to own it. No one does things to you without your permission.
Until you're nice to yourself, aren't you being disingenuous to everyone else?

Serves: 12
Yields: Two 14- by 4 1/2-inch tart shells
Oven Temp: 425
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 2.25 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 3 ounce(s) manchego cheese, finely grated
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 3/4 cup(s) (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces
- 2 ounce(s) cream cheese, cold
- 1/2 cup(s) finely chopped chives
- Make the dough: Combine the flour, manchego cheese, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter and cream cheese using either a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Toss in the chives. Add up to 6 tablespoons (1 to 2 tablespoons at a time) of cold water until a rough dough forms. Shape the dough into two 1-inch-thick disks, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour. (Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months.)
- Bake the shell: Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness, and fit into a 14- by 4 1/2- by 1-inch tart shell. Dock the crust by piercing holes in the tart bottom about an inch apart with a fork. Line the shell with parchment paper and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake the shell for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F, remove the parchment paper and beans, cover the edges of the tart with strips of aluminum foil and continue to bake until the shell is completely cooked — about 25 minutes.

Along with a nice cup of coffee...
Totally blowing off all I need to be doing today to go blog-visiting. Shocking how much time that can take!
And I have been reading some library books during Bud's nap that are overdue and need to get back to the library ASAP. This is my New Favorite Book that all Mommies should buy...Not get from the library, but actually purchase.
It truly helps to get rid of some of that Mom Guilt that seems to jump out at me a few times each day.
And couldn't you just lick that book cover??

Self-service check-in kiosks cleared for landing in Melbourne
PUBLISHED: 12 Jun 2013 09:09:00 | UPDATED: 13 Jun 2013 07:28:35PUBLISHED: 12 Jun 2013 PRINT EDITION: 13 Jun 2013The 25 international airlines operating at Melbourne Airport will soon be able to offer self-service check-in options. Photo: Getty Images
Paul Smith
Passengers on international flights from Melbourne Airport will soon be able to use self-service kiosks to check in and a self-service bag-drop system.
The airport has bought the self-service technology from international vendor SITA.
Airport chief executive Chris Woodruff said the technology would reduce queuing times, improve customers' experience and allow for more passengers to be processed.
The investment is part of an ambitious growth plan, which includes the addition of a third runway to develop the highest-capacity airport in Australia. A $10 billion capital budget to fund growth will be spent over the next 20 years.
The AirportConnect Open platform is the engine that runs the self-service kiosks and bag tagging, as well as bag-drop units. Once the platform is in place, the 25 international airlines operating at the airport will be able to offer self-service options.
Mr Woodruff said the technology was important to maximise the airport's potential and make travelling more pleasant.
"Over the next five years, we will transform our facilities to support passenger growth, and technology enhancements are a critical part of this investment. We are really pleased to be introducing [the] international self-service bag drop to provide our passengers [with] efficient end-to-end self-service," Mr Woodruff said.
The initial phase of the deployment is complete, with 14 self-service check-in kiosks in place for Air New Zealand customers. Later this year, six automated bag-drop units will be added.
These units automatically scan bag tags, reconcile the boarding pass, and weigh and measure the bag before dispatching it for the flight, without the need for staff assistance.
In May, Singapore's Changi Airport announced it had equipped more than 450 check-in counters and 111 boarding gates with the same platform.
It is also being deployed at seven Japanese airports.

NATSEM, an economic think-tank, has concluded that compulsory superannuation is the single most important factor in the mitigation of wealth inequality in Australia.
Universal and compulsory super – where every worker has the right to their own superannuation account – would not exist had it not been for the campaigns fought by union members in the 1960's, 70's and 80's.
Here is a brief history of universal super.
In 1985 only 39% of the workforce had super. Access to super depended on age, gender, occupation, occupational status, whether you were full or part time, permanent or casual, or a contractor.
Access to super was deeply inequitable: only 24% of women had super, while 50% of men had access to super.
Higher income earners such as permanent public servants and full-time white collar private sector employees were more likely to have access to super.
Women and blue-collar workers were the least likely to have access to super.
The regulation and structure of super was considerably different. Some companies treated the super fund as a company asset and loans to companies were not uncommon.
Most funds were "defined benefit" which disadvantages people who change jobs throughout their working lives, but advantages those who stay in one job for 20 or 30 years, especially those who retire on high salaries.
In the early 1980's the ACTU developed strategies that would address Australia's ageing population. Research demonstrated that there would be insufficient tax payers to sustainably meet the cost of pensions for retiring baby-boomers.
The response was compulsory, universal superannuation.
In the 1960's and 1970's unions began to campaign for super. The waterfront union secured super schemes for its members during the 1960's.
The first "industry funds" of the type we see today were established in the early 1980s. The pioneer funds were developed for storemen and packers (LUCRF), building workers (BUSS) and meatworkers (MISEF).
These funds developed from industrial demands placed by unions on employers and in some cases, vigorous campaigning including strike action was required to persuade employers to agree to contribute.
The main objective of the ACTU and the unions was to achieve a universal system of compulsory super, which had the following characteristics:
Irrespective of age, gender, occupation, industry or work pattern.
Superannuation would belong to workers rather than employers, so that workers kept their entitlement even if they left their job before retirement.
That when workers changed jobs they took their super benefits with them – assuming they worked within the same industry, it would be with the same super fund, thus "industry funds". (Most industry funds are now "public offer" meaning that workers can join any industry fund regardless of the industry they work in.)
The purpose of super is to provide an income for retirement. Unless there are special circumstances (financial hardship and/or permanent disability) employer contributions should be preserved until retirement.
Unions wanted employee as well as employer representatives to act as trustees of super funds – not just employers.
Unions sought insurance provisions for workers through their super fund.
The provision of super came about through union-employer negotiations and was provided by employers in place of pay rises. Super was therefore regarded as "deferred pay" and a "right" for workers.
Read more about the Features of Industry Funds.
In 1986, the Australian Industrial Relations Commission arbitrated on an ACTU claim that all workers covered by an Award should be provided with 3% super (that is 3% of their wage). However not all workers were covered by awards, so not all employers complied. This led to the establishment of multi-employer industry funds covering most industries, as well as some state-based funds.
In 1992 the Federal Labor Government Introduced the Superannuation Guarantee (SG), following a refusal by the AIRC to increase the level of contributions under awards.
All workers had to receive a level of super during their employment, as long as they earned more than $450 a month.
Super contributions were to be increased progressively, between 1992 and 2002 from 3% to 9%.
The Liberal and National parties opposed compulsory super until 1996, when they changed their position for the election that year.
The Government has no plans to increase contribution rates although it is now widely accepted that a 12-15% super levy is necessary to achieve a basic retirement income.
Read more about How much super is adequate.
Today almost 90% of workers are members of super funds. Employers contribute 9% of employees' salary into various types of super funds.
The choice of fund legislation will take effect from 1 July 2005, compelling many employers to offer their employees a choice of super fund.

Advice & Support
When you're pregnant, everything you put in your body can affect your baby. If you smoke, your baby is exposed to chemicals such as nicotine and carbon monoxide.
If you're a smoker and get pregnant, now is the time to quit. If you're not a smoker, avoid secondhand smoke. If you smoke and aren't pregnant but are thinking about having a baby, make a plan to quit before you try to get pregnant.
If you quit smoking before you become pregnant (or during the first 3 months of your pregnancy), your risk of having a baby with low birth weight is the same as that of a woman who does not smoke. Women who quit later in their pregnancy still reduce the risk of problems for their babies.
It's also important to not go back to smoking after the baby is born and to ask others not to smoke in your home. This will reduce your baby's risk of having breathing problems.
Many programs are available to help pregnant women quit smoking. Ask your doctor or nurse-midwife for information on quitting smoking.
Smoking during pregnancy may increase the risk of:
If your baby or child is exposed to smoke after birth, he or she will be more prone to illness and breathing problems.
If you're ready to quit smoking, congratulations. You are taking an important step for your health and for your baby's health. You can use these websites to find more information about quitting smoking:

Hi, I'm Sarah Gray Miller from Country Living Magazine and welcome to our 2013 House of the Year. We're here in the Breezy Point, New York, which was seriously affected by her Hurricane Sandy about a year ago. And this project is like none we've ever done before. Instead of building a house from scratch, we worked with the homeowner here in Breezy Point who was affected by the storm and pretty much renovated this place from the ground up with her. Massive flood damage wasn't the only challenge we encountered here. The house is also extremely small so a goal was to make it feel open, airy, a lot bigger than it is and also satisfy the homeowner's desire to do a lot of entertaining in the space. Of course, we didn't do all this by ourselves. In addition to the Country Living staff, we had the help of a number of sponsors, a fantastic interior designer, Emily Henderson and the guys of Derry Construction. One of the first things we did was really thinking about reconfiguring the blueprint here. There used to be a bedroom with walls all the way up over where the dining area is now. We ripped the walls in that bedroom down and also we took down some beams so that we could create one big loft-like space. The rafters, which had been exposed before were a dark, dark red. With Benjamin Moore's decorator white to lighten, brighten them and really make the ceilings soar. Instead of burying the windows in heavy draperies and balances, we want with simple white Roman shades from JCPenney that don't attract from everything else that's going on here. The walls are really fresh, white green by Benjamin Moore. Throughout the house, we used white plain hardwood flooring by Shaw. When you're this close to the beach, you don't want wall-to-wall carpeting with sand being trucked everywhere. So, let's take a look around. So, even on standing in a one big room, we really wanted to make it feel like it was 4 separate rooms. Our homeowner loves to entertain anyone with lots of distinct areas for her guest to hang out. One of them is right behind me. It's the dining area. And what we did to make it feel separate from the living area without building a wall is just place a cabinet in between the two zones. The fact that it's got glass sides and a glass door, let the light shine through and doesn't eat up any visual space. It may look like there's a built-in bunk cot here, but it's not. It's actually a $450 bench from Cost Plus World Market. We paired it with a round vintage stair and table from Canvas and that big circular shape really contrast with all the right angles and hard edges and rectangles and the rest of the room. The chairs are also Cost Plus World Market bargains, but we customized them with a coat of Benjamin Moore paint, using the same color that's on the kitchen cabinet and on the bedroom wall. So even if that feels like a distinct area, it still ties in with the rest of the house. So, I've only walked a couple feet, but now we're in a totally different area, the kitchen. And what separates it is this island from Cost Plus World Market. It does sort of serves as a subtle reminder that this is a different zone while also inviting guests to join in and whatever is happening in the kitchen. So, here's a great way to save money without sacrificing on style. These lower cabinets are Ikea or at least the box of them are. We got doors and drawers from Semihandmade, a company that designs them especially that fit with Ikea unit so you get that great custom lock without spending a fortune. We decided not to do upper cabinets in part because the kitchen is open to the room. The moment those upper cabinets go up, it starts to feel like a utilitarian space as opposed to a living space. It can also make cramped quarters, feel even more claustrophobic. Instead of cabinets, we went big with the backsplash, but not white ceramic tiles, these amazing [unknown] tiles from Italy. In addition to protecting the walls, they also function as an amazing work of art. As you might expect for Country Living, we went with the Farmhouse sink. This one is by Porcher and we found it at Wayfair.com. What's a little less expected is the faucet. Instead of stainless steel, we chose a black one by Moen and then echoed its color both in these sconces overhead from Schoolhouse Electric and even in the drawer pulls on the cabinetry. So again, remember, there are no walls separating this kitchen from the living area or the dining area. So the appliances need to look good. We went with Restaurant-Quality Appliances for Maytag and stainless steel, but still at a reasonable price. So now, we're in the living area. And because this is a beach house just a few blocks from the ocean, we didn't wanna go with all upholstered furniture. Instead, we paired the sofa from sofa.com with this great rattan chair by Serena & Lily as well as another chair from Serena & Lily that references the classic beachy sling chair. When you're dealing with a lot of new pieces, one way to add character in an instant is to work in a few vintage pieces. So instead of a coffee table, we used an old trunk that we found on One Kings Lane and also a vintage tripod lamp that we got at Aero Studios. What's great about a floor lamp like that? It eliminates the need for 2 side tables and it also brings height and drama to a corner of the room. But if you wanna see something really dramatic and get remind that you're at the beach, check out this hang out area. In a house that's small, it's important to make room for whimpsy and function. So the hammock behind me that definitely has whimsy cover, but we didn't forget about function either. Poufs and Ottomans provide extra sitting without eating up a lot of visual space, and for an eye sore like a wall-mounted airconditioner, we had this great white wash box is made that provide easy access to the control. And because entertaining is so important here, a vintage bar has cocktails that been ready. So now, let's check out the bedroom.

Saint-Saëns' Spectacular
When Telarc released its first digital recording of Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 "Organ" in 1980, the world sat up and took notice. Recorded without any limiting, equalization, or compression (other than the dynamic compression inherent to the CD medium itself), organist Michael Murray's account with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy must have blown the bass drivers in more than one overly sedate home stereo, and shaken Aunt Lucy's china off its shelf.
Even today, after 32 years of advancement in digital recording and filtering techniques, Telarc's pioneer recording amazes with its three-dimensional spaciousness, bass wallop, and surprising absence of a harsh digital edge. I confess that I was astounded at my ability to turn the volume way up on my high-end sound system without needing to protect my ears from the scourge of early digital brightness. In fact, the only protection necessary was to make sure the doors and windows were closed, so that my early-to-bed neighbors were not up in arms.
Saint-Saëns' "Organ Symphony," as it is often called, is a trip and a half. The composer intentionally holds back in the first movement, saving his arsenal of pipes and sonic effects for the second movement finale. You'll especially appreciate veteran recording engineer Jack Renner's mastery with the new digital medium when everything gets going at once, yet manages to sound remarkably clear. A definite "wow" experience.

Your Pop Alternative Source
Those who have visited Dublin will know that sipping Guinness by a fire in a nice old pub while it's chucking it down outside is one of life's great pleasures. It's also, as you can probably imagine, the perfect setting for eagerly hatching wild ideas and schemes. And so on one such blustery and cold night in September two friends, Tim Rice-Oxley and Jesse Quin decided (whilst in wildly animated conversation about music and probably also well on their way to needing a taxi home) that they would make a country album. As with so many ideas that come about on a belly full of Jameson's, in the cold light of day it did not seem like such a good plan. Two English men trying to sing like Hank Williams was definitely a recipe for disaster. The whole thing was forgotten about in the time it took to recover from the headache that morning. But the headache was to return.
Out of the blue a couple of months later Tim emailed Jesse a rough demo of 'Departure'. Not wanting to be outdone, Jesse vollied back a demo of 'Annie Ford'. Before they knew it there were half a dozen songs and without really putting much planning into it, the idea to make a record was resurrected.
Enlisting the help of friends from various other bands the newly formed group went into Eastcote studios in London at the snowy start of this year. With production wizard Emery Dobyns patiently manning the controls, the idea was to record as much of the album live as possible, in true country style. For the finishing touches, they experimented with whatever extra noises they felt like (cue dustbin lids, anvils, bullhorns and heavily distorted theremins) and a supporting cast of friends who would regularly stop by and add their ideas, whether invited or not.
The end of the recording sessions marked the end of the first chapter of the story. The band had revelled in the joy of making music without any motive other than just doing what they loved. As Mt. Desolation begins its second chapter, the fun and excitement of making the music remains, except now instead of being confined to a recording studio it's being taken on the road to share with anyone who wants a part of it.

Poisoning is the term used for the harmful outcome that occurs when one inhales, swallows, or otherwise comes in contact with a toxic substance.
Every year, more than 2 million people suffer from some or other sort of poisoning. Young children often have accidental poisoning at home. Elderly and hospitalized people too are vulnerable to accidental poisoning, mainly due to confusion about their drugs. Industrial workers may also be exposed to poisoning from constant inhaling or exposure to toxic chemicals. Poisoning may also be a deliberate attempt to commit murder or suicide.
The damage caused by poisoning to the body depends upon the kind of poison, the quantity taken or inhaled, age and the underlying health of the person. Some poisons are not very dangerous and may cause problems only when one is exposed to them, for a long period of time. But some poisons are so potent that just a drop on the skin can cause severe harm, trauma or damage.
Symptoms due to very potent poisons may be evident within seconds or hours, whereas others may cause symptoms only after a few days. Some poisons rarely exhibit any symptoms until they have damaged vital organs such as the kidneys or liver, sometimes permanently.
The diagnosis is based on the symptoms and information from the poisoned person and the eyewitnesses, if any. Certain blood and urine tests also may reveal poisoning.
Possible poisonous substances are certain potent medications when taken in dosages more than normal. Other poisons include illicit drugs, certain gases, certain chemicals and certain foods.
Medications should always be kept out of the reach of children to prevent them from accidentally ingesting them.
Major complications of any kind of poisoning include the failure of vital organs of the body, which may ultimately lead to death.
The treatment consists of supporting the person and preventing additional absorption of the poison. In cases, where there is a toxic exposure to gas, people exposed to a toxic gas should be removed from the source quickly and taken out into the fresh air.
In chemical spills, all contaminated body wear including jewellery, should be removed immediately and the skin surface thoroughly washed with soap and water. If the eyes have been exposed, they should be thoroughly flushed with water or saline. The poisoned person needs to be medically treated immediately. If he is unconscious, he should be provided artificial breathing (tracheal intubation).
Once the poison has moved past the stomach, treatment with activated charcoal needs to be given. Activated charcoal makes the poison to stick to itself and thus cannot be absorbed in the blood stream avoiding the danger.
Drinking large quantity of a fluid also flushes the entire gastrointestinal tract before the poison gets absorbed. A medication by the name of 'Atropine' may also be used in some cases, since it acts as an antidote for certain nerve gases and insecticides.

New "Frackademia" Report Co-Written by "Converted Climate Skeptic" Richard Muller
11:46 am in Uncategorized by Steve Horn
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
MyFDL Editor's Note: Read more about the Muellers on Firedoglake.
The conservative UK-based Centre for Policy Studies recently published a study on the climate change impacts of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") for shale gas. The skinny: it's yet another case study of "frackademia," and the co-authors have a financial stake in the upstart Chinese fracking industry.
Titled "Why Every Serious Environmentalist Should Favour Fracking" and co-authored by Richard Muller and his daughter Elizabeth "Liz" Muller, it concludes that fracking's climate change impacts are benign, dismissing many scientific studies coming to contrary conclusions.
In an interview with DeSmogBlog, Richard Muller — a self-proclaimed "converted skeptic" on climate change — said he and Liz had originally thought of putting together this study "about two years ago."
"We quickly realized that natural gas could be a very big player," he said. "The reasons had to do with China and the goal of the paper is to get the environmentalists to recognize that they need to support responsible fracking."
The ongoing debate over fracking in the UK served as the impetus behind the Centre for Policy Studies — a non-profit co-founded by former right-wing British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1974 — hosting this report on its website, according to Richard Muller.
"They asked for it because some environmentalists are currently opposing fracking in the UK, and they wanted us to share our perspective that fracking is not only essential for human health but its support can be justified for humanitarian purposes," he said.
This isn't the first time Liz Muller has unapologetically sung the praises of fracking and promoted bringing the practice to China. In April, she penned an op-ed in The New York Times titled, "China Must Exploit Its Shale Gas."
The Mullers co-head the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST), a non-profit that at one time received funding from the Koch brothers. BEST published a study in 2011 affirming that climate change is real and caused by humans.
There is an important detail buried on the last page of the Centre for Policy Studies report: Liz Muller's position as founder and Managing Director of the China Shale Fund. One copy of the study is even published on the China Shale Fund's website.
EDF Study, "FrackNation," PM2.5
In their paper, the Mullers rely heavily on the recent University of Texas-Austin fracking climate change study published in October in partnership with the Environmental Defense Fund. DeSmogBlog characterized that study as another example of "frackademia," science funded by Big Oil with accompanying results favoring the industry's bottom line.
The Mullers' report also cites the Koch Brothers-funded documentary "FrackNation" to dispute the veracity of fracking causing water contamination.
They also juxtapose the PM (particulate matter) 2.5-emitting Chinese coal industry (named such because the PM is less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter) with a powerful source of energy they claim does not emit PM2.5: shale gas. They do so both in the report itself and in an accompanying YouTube video.
Unmentioned is the fact that fracking has all kinds of accompanying air quality issues of its own, documented comprehensively in Earthworks' recent report, "Reckless Endangerment While Fracking the Eagle Ford Shale."
Also unmentioned is the issue of frac sand mining — the fine-grained cyrstaline sillica sand shot down a well to facilitate fracking - which emits immense amounts of PM2.5.
"We were not trying to make a comprehensive review of the subject. Our goal was to alert people to the fact that shale gas, if responsibly developed, can mitigate both air pollution and global warming," Richard Muller told DeSmogBlog when asked why frac sand went undiscussed in his study. "There is nothing intrinsic about the mining of sand that means it cannot be responsibly extracted."
China Shale Fund
Though the title of the report says nothing about China, "China" and/or "Chinese" appears 58 times in the report. BEST is also currently a partner of the non-profit organization Future 500, teaming up to bolster China's rising tiger shale gas industry.

cauliflower-feta fritters with pomegranate
I know what you're thinking; you don't even need to say it: It's time for a fritter intervention. A frittervention? Here, I'll go first: My name is Deb Perelman and I have a fritter problem. And I really do. I pretty much want to fritter all the things, all the time — broccoli, zucchini, apples, parsnips, an Indian medley, leeks (here), and potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, I actually have to hold myself back, and try to evenly space my fritter episodes throughout the year, so not to pique your concern about my fritter consumption. It's not easy because no matter how many times I talk it out in a circle of understanding peers, I fear I will still think that fritters are the answer to most food dilemmas, most of the time.
They're the ideal toddler vegetable delivery method. Aside a bowl of lightly dressed mixed greens for the lunch I'm supposed to be having (not, cough, leftover pizza), a couple fritters make it all worthwhile. Alone on a plate, dolloped with a creamy yogurt sauce, they're a happy afternoon snack. And formed intentionally tiny, they belong at a cocktail party. As do you.

Shimmery Advent Boxes
By: Tiffany Windsor
Glitter craft ideas can be appropriate for any holiday. This Christmas, make Shimmer Advent Boxes from Tiffany Windsor to get in the spirit. Use plain white favor boxes for this project and use different colors of glitter to make each day extra special.
- Aleene's Tacky Double Stick Sheets
- Tulip Fashion Glitter Assortment – Primary
- Favor boxes (found in wedding section at craft store)
- Die cutting machine and die with numbers
- Paper plates (one for each color of glitter
- Soft brush (for brushing away excess glitter)
Cut numbers with die cut machine. Be sure to put the Aleene's Tacky Double Stick Sheets shiny side down onto the die so that the numbers will face the correct direction after cutting.
Leave favor boxes flat. Remove paper backing from die cut numbers and place onto lids of favor boxes.
Remove paper from numbers to reveal adhesive. Hold over paper plate and sprinkle with glitter. Gently use fingers to rub glitter to all edges of adhesive. Shake off excess.
When changing to a new glitter color, use a clean plate. When you are finished glittering and cleaning, return excess glitter to container.
- Fold boxes along scorelines. Fill with goodies and arrange into desired pattern.
For a comprehensive video tutorial of this project check out How to Make Glittered Advent Boxes.

Review of OneSourceTalent.com
I came to One Source Talent kind of skeptical due to the fact that this would be my first time really pursuing my dream and goals. And I hear a lot of these companies scam talent. From the first interview I could tell that OST was different. The atmosphere was pleasant and I knew that they would do their best to put me first if I was fortunate enough to be accepted. Now that I am part of OST I know that once I do my part and work my hardest OST will be right behind me to guide me and push me forward so that everything that I have hoped for can transfer from a dream to a reality…
Here is a full review of One Source Talent and what they offer:
OST is headquartered in Detroit and since its creation in 2003, has been providing its innovative service to all of the cities where actors, models, and clients are in search of one another: Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Chicago, New York, Detroit (Corporate), and Dallas.
What are actors and models saying about?
Actors and models tell me they appreciate having fast and accurate information on auditions that fit their needs. They like that they have a composite card of digital and non-digital submissions. They're benefiting from the Meet and Greet and workshop events. They like that there is no commission on opportunities. They have a One Source Talent Scam Watch and information that helps them.
What are clients saying about them? Clients love that the database is filled with qualified talent of all levels of experience. They are confident that the actors and models will be talented because of the talent evaluation on all submissions. They appreciate the high-level of customer support and industry knowledge from our staff.
So many clients and performers have been able to connect successfully to work on projects meaningful to both parties. One Source Talent has the functionality and above-and-beyond features to make it the best database out there. We're proud the many stories we hear about performers finding the perfect client, and vice-versa. OST strives to be the best in industry for talent connection, and we make it happen through commitment, dedication, and passion.
Here is a video I found on them:
This might give you more information about them, it is a Hub Page about One Source Talent. Check it out, it is full of information and reviews about them.
Here are some reviews I found on the net:
"In my opinion is one of the best things that happened for aspiring models and actors. They know what it takes to give someone an opportunity for their big break. They have been around for a long time and have a knowledgeable staff that has worked with numerous casting directors and has developed good relationship with tons of big name companies. I have been a talent with them for a long time and see this on a weekly basis. Everytime I go to a casting the directors always have great things to say about them."
"One Source Talent has a great photographer. I had photos done for my comp card before and didn't really like them. So being a talent with them I decided to ask them if they had someone they could recommend me to. Sure enough they did and they were right because the photographer that they sent me to took some amazing pictures. So whoever said that they make you buy your own pictures is somewhat right because they know some great photographers that take great pictures. They let me use my own photos that I had but I chose to go to a better photographer and it was the best investment I ever made. Thank you guys."
