I would consider moving to New Zealand just so that I could have them living in my yard, even though I hear that they can be a real nuisance. Oh, but they are so cute! And to be able to say hedgehogs live at the bottom of your garden would be a rather amazing thing to say, as if you lived in a children's story book. They are certainly a nicer looking than the snotty slugs and fuzzy-fat-goo-squirting caterpillars I keep accidentally stepping on in my own garden.
Simpático y colorido erizo de fieltro. While She Naps: No-Sew Fleece Octopus Tutorial. I picked up this craft booklet, circa 1966, a few months ago at a church rummage sale and got inspired to update one of its projects. The yarn octopus has long been a classic toy to make for children, and I've transformed it into an even easier, and perhaps more cuddly, no-sew fleece octopus! According to my 8-year-old, her fleece octopus is "the cutest thing ever. " You'll need: -16" x 16" piece of fleece -styrofoam ball 3" in diameter. Sock Monkey. Gosh… I am supposed to sew some thing for the Earth Month this April, but I can't wait to sew these sock monkeys.
My hands simply took over my head and see what I did after a few days and nights of sewing…. a house full of sock monkeys!!!! Do you love them? I have seen a lot of sock monkey photos hanging around friends' photo albums in many photo sharing websites, so envy. These sock monkeys are so cute and so adorable that I would want to hug one, I bet my kids would love to have them to accompany too when mommy is busy with works. Therefore, I went out to shop for some socks thinking that may be 4 to 5 pairs should be enough, I ended up with 20 pairs of colorful socks, simply can't resist for not buying ;-).

Bread queues hit hipster suburbs
PUBLISHED: 15 Jun 2013 00:33:00 | UPDATED: 15 Jun 2013 07:53:18PUBLISHED: 15 Jun 2013 PRINT EDITION: 15 Jun 2013Bakers' dozens:Lunchtime queue at Bourke Street Bakery in Sydney's Surry Hills. Photo: Christopher Pearce
Claire Stewart
Since when did it become a socially acceptable practice – even socially desirable – to queue for bread?
We're not talking the five-hour bread lines synonymous with Soviet history. Rather, it's a balmy 18 degrees in Sydney's hipster heart of Surry Hills and people have descended to procure their fresh-baked loaf, possibly rye and a smattering of caraway seeds.
This seemingly unstoppable desire for something more than just the usual sliced white loaf is pushing national bread sales towards the $3.1 billion a year mark. It is also what supermarket giants Coles and Woolworths, and to a lesser extent IGA, are tapping into through "in-store bakeries".
Market research company IBISWorld estimates that over the past year artisanal bread consumption has been the fastest growing industry sector, up 15 per cent compared with wholemeal and seeded bread, which is growing at just under 5 per cent, and white bread, which is increasing in line with the population.
Consumer shift
"You can see a huge consumer shift towards higher-quality, locally baked styles of bread," senior analyst Emily Witham said, noting it is no surprise, given those statistics, that the retailers are promoting their in-house bakeries.
Supermarkets account for about 67 per cent of total bread sales. Artisanal bread, IBISWorld said, is a $2.6 billion niche market and rising, particularly as more people buy from specialised bakeries.
Bourke Street Bakery founder Paul Allam said the interest in what they do has grown steadily since it opened in 2004 with two bakers (he and David McGuinness), a barista and a counterhand. "The retailers have been trying to copy the marketing and aesthetic of artisanal bakers for a few years now, replicating their in-store bakeries to look warm and rustic," he said.
It doesn't affect his business, which caters to a different group of customers.
Return to corner store bakeries
"I think that's a good thing," he said. "Fifty years ago there were probably a lot more corner-store bakeries like us, so it's a return to that, but also evolving what's sold."
He said television cooking shows have helped change food culture away from being an elitist exercise.
This, in turn, makes people comfortable to seek out good produce, including bread.
Coles online sells their baked in store goods starting at $1.50 for a small baguette to $4.00 for a stone-baked kalamata olive batard, and the same price for a multigrain sourdough cob.
Bourke Street Bakery sells its sourdough loaves for $5.50 and its broader range, including soy and linseed and wholemeal sourdough loaves for $6.00.
Sonoma, the popular Sydney bakery that now supplies a growing number of retail ventures and restaurants sells it's general loaf range at $7.00, with it's 1.6 kilogram ' Miche' retailing at $14.

personally. I'd probably kick boyfriend in the face if he tried to get all up ons me when I was having my vag juicing week. I don't know where you heard about heightened seckz-drive, but most ladies I know would rather curl up in a ball and just hibernate for the week. I also have a lovely vocal demonstration from a friend of mine of what she describes "period seckz" as sounding like. message me in game if you would like to hear. I can guarantee after you hear it you will not want your penor within 50 feet of a bleeding vag after that.
While I feel it's pretty tame, I have yet to do so as well. That being said, she started bleeding once midway...that was definitely an image that has been burned into my retinas. *shudder*
Wow for once Ssrae i entirely agree with you...Having had a girlfriend for 4 years we evetnually got to a comfort level where it didn't always matter if she was on or off...Eventually people get older, and hornier, and will do alot more crazy stuff in bed...it's just what happens with life experiance, not saying i've necesarily had more than others, but i beleive that when it comes to the bedroom i've done alot of crazy s.hit

Hi, my title is Managing Editor at Forbes Media, but in reality, I manage a bunch of incredibly smart, multi-tasking, multi-talented, multi-media reporters. Here at Forbes, everyone's challenged to participate in communicating great journalism in whatever form is most effective - or simply the best user experience – across platforms.
After 12 years at CNN Business News, and a bunch of fun jobs at Time Warner including Managing Editor at CNNfn the financial network (it shuttered in 2004) as well as overseeing biz news over a number of CNN networks and platforms.
I left to become Executive Editor at Forbes in 2008.
Today I meddle with all things video - we publish nearly one hundred original series a week – and feel especially proud of our flagship show: "Intelligent Investing with Steve Forbes". The long form program is now two years in the making, with nearly 100 amazing profiles of the world's most important business leaders on line. This fall we are launching a second video series with Moira Forbes: "Women to Watch". You should watch it.
And, uh – the "Northern Lights" title refers to my home country, Norway. Just in case you thought this was an ambitious attempt to illuminate with flashing insights in the night. Maybe.

Great bhaktas have sung God's praise. Verses sung in appealing tunes help us focus on God. The music in the verses ensures that we do not get distracted. We are so moved by the music that we worship with even greater fervour than we would usually. We may not be able to remember verses, but when they are musical, the music helps us remember the words too, said Sarala Rajagopalan in a discourse. Thus, music helps us reach God.
Tiruneelakanta Yazhpanar and his wife Matanga Choolamani accompanied the Saivite saint Thirugnanasambandar on his travels. Tiruneelakanta Yazhpanar would play a stringed instrument called the yazh and Matanga Choolamani would sing. In the temple at Tiruvalangadu, Karaikkal Ammaiyar is depicted with cymbals in her hand, as she keeps beat to Lord Siva's dance.
The Gods themselves have played musical instruments. Lord Krishna could attract the cowherds, the Gopikas and even the cows with His flute playing. Tirumurugattruppadai says that Lord Subrahmanya also played the flute.
In the Peria Puranam, Sekkizhar tells the story of Anaya Nayanar, who would take his cows for grazing every day. Even as the cows grazed on the grass, Anaya Nayanar would play his flute. The bamboo for a flute was selected with great care those days. A slender bamboo would not do; nor would a very old one. A bamboo of the right age would be chosen and left to dry in a shady area. After one year, the bamboo would be fit to be used as a flute. Although God will accept our singing, even if we do not sing tunefully, care was still taken by those who sang His praise, using the right instruments and singing with proper attention. They saw their music itself as an offering to God. That being the case, how could they settle for anything that was second rate? Only the best would do for God. Anaya Nayanar's music pleased Lord Siva so much that He told Anaya Nayanar to stay beside Him while playing his flute. Anaya Nayanar was born in a place called Tirumangalam, in Trichy district of Tamil Nadu, and even today, one can see an idol of Anaya Nayanar in a separate enclosure in the Siva temple here.

This title in other editionsThe Female Thing: Dirt, Sex, Envy, Vulnerabilityby Laura Kipnis
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In the female psyche nowadays, "contradictions speckle the landscape, like ingrown hairs after a bad bikini wax." So writes Laura Kipnis, author of the widely acclaimed polemic Against Love. With "the gleeful viperish wit of Dorothy Parker" (Slate), Kipnis now offers a fresh and provocative assessment of the female condition in the post-post-feminist world of the twenty-first century. For every advance toward sexual equality on the part of women in recent years, she argues, some new impediment just "seems" to appear. Ironically, feminism ran up against an unanticipated opponent: the inner woman.
An ambitious and original reassessment of feminism and women's ambivalence about it, The Female Thing brims with bracing and funny social observations informed by psychological acuity. For all the upbeat "You go, girl" slogans, women remain caught between feminism and femininity, between self-affirmation and an endless quest for self-improvement, between playing the injured party and claiming independence. Feminism is bedeviled by the same impasses and contradictions it seeks to rectify. But rather than blaming the usual suspects — men, the media — Kipnis takes a hard look at culprits closer to home, namely women themselves and their complicity in upholding male privilege, even as they resent men deeply for it. Which makes relations between the sexes rather thorny at the moment, and Kipnis serves up the gory details of the mutual displeasure between men and women in painfully hilarious detail. In the tradition of The Feminine Mystique and The Female Eunuch, this is a pathbreaking work. As audacious as it is historically and socially grounded, The Female Thing explores age-old quandaries: the war between the sexes, what women "really" want, and to what extent anatomy is destiny after all. Review:"Three years after her controversial proadultery polemic, Against Love, Kipnis, a professor of media studies at Northwestern University, offers a wide-ranging and equally unorthodox investigation of 'the female condition.' She examines why women want both power and push-up bras, have fewer orgasms than men, why spouses have a harder time staying connected to each other after the wife quits work to stay home with the kids and why feminists keep focusing on rape, even though rates of female rapes are down while the rape of imprisoned men has escalated. Underlying the failure of feminism to achieve full equality for women, Kipnis says, is women's own ambivalence: they want feminism as well as femininity. Some of Kipnis's avenues of inquiry are well trod — Katha Pollitt, for example, has deconstructed the 'opt-out revolution,' whose foot soldiers are Ivy League — credentialed moms who trade high-powered careers for full-time motherhood, and Naomi Wolf long ago tackled the cosmetics industry. Countless critics have wondered why feminism was so easily co-opted by a market economy in which everyone works longer hours than they used to. Though not totally fresh, this fluid, sassy volume is guaranteed to electrify media and cocktail party circuits." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"When Laura Kipnis writes about 'the female thing,' she refers not just to the predictable genital area, but to 'the female psyche at the twenty-first-century mark, which is to say, in the aftermath of second-wave feminism and partway to gender equality.' Lest men cringe and read no further than this first paragraph, let me say that the author meticulously stays away from any attack on or critique... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review)
Review:"A clever, sarcastic, slender jeremiad....Kipnis offers some sound fodder for talking heads. A reasoned, intelligent, even elegant study, when its author isn't smartly smirking." Kirkus Reviews
Review:"Incisive, engrossing, controversial, and circumspect, Kipnis offers a trenchant examination of the political and personal state of contemporary feminism." Booklist
Review:"You've encountered most of the ideas in The Female Thing before, but Kipnis has a way of distilling them down to a well-turned sentence or two that's very pleasing. Hers isn't a gift to be taken lightly, since in the process she makes it clear how untenable many of those ideas are." Laura Miller, Salon.com

New venue complex for St Kilda
When is a cinema not a cinema? When it's an arts hub. The former George Cinemas – which were last in action when Gus Berger rented them out for his George Revival Cinema from July 2013-February 2014 – were last destined to become a gym for a new apartment block, or so we thought.
Now it's been announced that the space is the new project of theatre producer and investor Aleksander Vass. He'll be transforming the three cinemas into two venues – one seating 500, the other around half that – to host theatre, opera, gigs, musicals, cabaret and comedy, as well as films. Renovations are expected to be completed by the end of 2014.
Richard Fitzgerald, pictured, is the general manager, and has in recent years revived the Arts Centre in Darwin and was general manager at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne. He tells Time Out that the original projectors will be dismantled and preserved off site to allow for a broader scope of digital films.… Read more
Sandra Bernhard is coming to Melbourne in March 2015
Look, you may think of her as Madonna's friend…
Nancy from Roseanne…
Masha from The King of Comedy…
Sandra Bernhard from Will & Grace…
Or a personal favourite Minerva Mayflower from the wildly undervalued Hudson Hawk…
… but, she is way more than that.
The reality is that all of that is a sideline, a hobby, that the uber-incredible Sandra Bernhard uses to fill in the gaps between being one of the best stand up comedians on the planet.
No seriously, Comedy Central in the US rated her in the top 100.
Now Sydney is going to get a chance to catch up with the comedy/singing/commenting stylings of the magnificent Ms Bernhard next March when she explodes into town for one show only.
Terrified we might miss out, we had a chat to Sandy about Sandyland, and found out that:
– She can't stand celebrities who whinge about their being no work for women over 40 ("If you have the talent … !")
– She's a better singer now than ever, but still caustically comedically gifted ("Always my first love?… Read more
Melbourne Fringe Festival launches 2014 program
When you hike up to the top of Madame Brussels on a Wednesday morning only to be greeted by a friendly gorilla, you know the Melbourne Fringe Festival is just around the corner.
Underground, cross-platform, subversive, weird and a little bit wild: Fringe truly offers art for everybody. Back for its 30th year, the festival's 2014 theme seems to be its sheer size – there are over 400 programmed events crammed into 19 days, with more than 5000 artists participating.
Not sure where to start? At this morning's media launch, creative director Jayne Lovelock recommends jumping into the Fringe Hub at the North Melbourne Town Hall and Lithuanian Club, which will host more than 60 events. "You could see three shows there in one night!" says Lovelock – including puppetry, burlesque, cabaret, comedy and music. In addition to comedy crowd-pleasers like Arj Barker, Rod Quantock and Greg Fleet, the hub will host Indigenous cabaret showcase Flash!… Read more
Justin Heazlewood's Crazy Bastards is the Aussie Mad Men
"Men drink whatever makes them look tough. Once it was blood, now it's beer, but tomorrow, who knows? It's 1985! Men are evolving! There's a new dingo in town, spraying everything with his distinctive lemon tang."
Did you ever wonder how Solo became a 'man drink?' We all remember the ad: the guy wearing volleys, running through fire and smashing down a can of what is essentially gender-neutral pub squash.
Clearly, it took a Don Draper-esque mastermind to turn soft drink into a beverage of choice for hard men. This is the premise of the first episode of the new series by comedian/writer/86 tram-rider Justin Heazlewood (aka the Bedroom Philosopher), who decided it would be hilarious to explore what could have inspired such brilliance. Selected to be produced by the ABC as part of their Fresh Blood comedy initiative, Crazy Bastards is an Aussie parody of Mad Men. It's set in the mid '80s, when hair was big, double denim was cool, misogyny was rife and advertising was…pretty much the same.… Read more
Monty Python land in Melbourne (cinemas) and Gilliam says they're better
Australia, this is your call to comedy church. Monty Python mass will begin shortly and the cathedral will be packed.
At this point there will be very few people unaware that the five surviving members of Monty Python spent the majority of July performing their (mostly) live reunion show in London's O2 Arena to a nightly horde of adoring fans there to worship at the spam shrine.
Well Australia, now it is our turn to sit in a seat and tell them that you love them.
Starting tonight, cinemas country-wide will hold a limited number (no, really limited, like a maximum of four) of screenings of the recording of the final show, featuring all your favourite sketches, a few celebrity fans and of course, dancing nuns.
We spoke to Terry Gilliam prior to the run and he promised that Australian cinema-goers would see "pretty much what people see who are there, but probably closer and more in focus.… Read more

An investment of cash can be allocated to whatever is the major problem ( debt/bond repayment , downsizing buyouts , new equipment , etc. ). There is a deep, fundamental difference between those two. Apple's money helps Sharp keeps the lights on and factories running for now, but it is not an investment. Hopefully, Sharp can round up some other customers that will pay a bit more for screens so that the company survives long term. Apple's pre-payment does help Sharp. It paves the way for Sharp to make a more flexible deal like this one with Qualcomm. (although I suspect Qualcomm is going to walk away with some highly discounted royalty agreements out of this. ) When you buy an iTunes gift card you are not "Investing" in Apple. Apple pre-paying for product is just a huge "gift card" for another part of Apple. Last edited by deconstruct60; Dec 4, 2012 at 12:28 PM. |

Wow! 2 Billion in pre-orders, that's pretty amazing. That small team working on the IGZO touch screen displays should get a big raise. They literally saved the SONY company.

Sharp actually built parts for Apple's Newton message pad, and the ones they sold were under an official licence from Apple. Last edited by Casiotone; Dec 4, 2012 at 12:24 PM. Reason: Added image |

The allocation angle may not mean that much. Yes, they have to fulfill the orders, and it will take a lot of cash to fill an Apple-sized order. But it's not like a restricted donation to a non-profit, where they absolutely cannot touch that cash except for the stated purpose.

This is a good example of laissez-faire at work. Let business take care of business. If a company such as Sharp is deemed to be worth keeping around, there's no need for government intervention if it's ailing.

People keep saying competition is good when other companies are competing with Apple. The same people then say that competition is terrible when it's between Samsung and Sharp (They don't care about a monopoly. They just want Samsung displays). Make up your mind .

I always liked sharp screens. I had contact with 2 phones (blackberry 9700) one using the sharp lcd and one using a samsung one, and I liked the sharp screen better both in terms of colors and I didn't see those scan lines that many phones have that you see when you tilt the phone.
Let's hope that sharp survives. |

Apple does not copy a device from A to Z, these guys pulled a Samsung and copied everything down to the buttons, screen size, UI, etc. There's a difference between taking several poorly implemented ideas, improving them and creating a brand new product, rather than ripping off the exact same thing and sticking your logo on it.

Maybe so, but with over $100b in cash to invest, we don't know the half of what Apple does with all of that money.

Second the return is probably higher than interest. Highly low risk bonds ( e.g. ,US Treasuries ) pay like 1-2%. If paying in advance Apple gets an additional 3% discount that is already a higher return that the low risk bonds. If they get an additional 1-2% discount then the return is the exactly the same. Even if Sharp filed for bankruptcy the process would take many months. In those months Apple would get the screens it paid for. The bigger the bankrupcy the longer, more protrated the process usally is. Again the risk here is extremely minimum and no way substantively different than the normal risks of doing business. Quote:
It does present that Sharp has some happy customers and if they continue to deliver and not shoot themselves in the foot, then they probably can pay off the rolled over debt in the future. That's all it really does. There is no "investment" aspects to this. Quote:
Sharp is so weak that their suppliers aren't going to give them components on credit. Ship now pay later. So they have cash on delivery or cash before delivery issues with their suppliers. There is no reasonable way to run off and spend the money Apple gave them on something else hoping that someway, somehow something else hits to lotto to re-pay that. (e.g., anything substantive to paying down that $2b in bonds and backfill on phone sales profits. ) Second, it may not be totally in the form of pre-payment for the screens. There may be capital equipment Sharp needs to make the screens. Apple buys it and then lend-lease the equipment to Sharp. If Sharp tanks Apple still owns the equipment. It isn't an assest that will be trapped in bankruptcy. This is same issue as Sharp not having good supplier issues. Apple does the payments with the suppliers. Sharp pays Apple back by using supplies & equipment to make screens. Frankly, if any bankers/investors finds out that Sharp is using Apple's money as a "Rob Peter to pay Paul" scheme Sharp's chance to roll over their bond debt is dismal. The first thing their auditors are going to look at in their books is whether Apple's money is earnmarked to deliver on Apple's goods. [ That is if their auditors had any brains..... Gotta wonder what brainless clods HP hired to look at Automony's books. ] Last edited by deconstruct60; Dec 4, 2012 at 01:39 PM. |

Apple has to at some point, just push more money from their bank accounts into helping get new tech to the market. It's cool, we get it, they can tout a retina samsung or lg screen, and due to their marketing machine and the hipster fans, appropriate it as some kind of their technological advance.
But now that samsung has showed them the finder, and rightly so after apple's litigation machine went after them, all we have are 3 year old lg panels in the new imacs, and lg panels with rampant image retention problems on the retina macbook pro (actually there's probably not a single lg panel without image retention), to which of course apple has replied that it's "natural" for lcd displays... as if somehow all of a sudden lcds became plasma screens or crt's...but in apple's world they did apparently as a less than perfect way to avoid another -gate, the retention-gate... |

US: Stay the Course in Haiti
ALTHOUGH so far frustrated in its aims and tarred by association with events in Bosnia and Somalia, United States policy toward Haiti is on the right course, and the Clinton administration should stick with it.
The US goal of restoring President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power offers the best hope for ending Haiti's long history of repressive rule and building a democratic order in the country. The goal commands the support of the great majority of Haitians and the backing of the international community. If its implementation is well managed, it can gain bipartisan approval in the US Congress. Within and outside of Haiti, Mr. Aristide has become a powerful symbol of democracy. In the two years since a military coup ousted him, no democratic alternatives have emerged.
An outlaw military regime in Haiti that systematically kills its opponents and brutalizes its citizens is a continuing offense to American values - particularly so because of the country's proximity to and long entanglement with the US. The credibility of the US commitment to promoting democracy worldwide is also at stake in Haiti. If we do not or cannot act effectively in a poor, weak, neighboring country, where can we be counted on to act? Continued oppression in Haiti presents the US with another, more direct cost - the prospect of a large and sustained flow of refugees.
The question for US policy is not whether Aristide should be restored, but how to accomplish that task and assure his ability to govern.
First, the US should continue to work through the United Nations and the Organization of American States (OAS). This joint action, if successful, will set a precedent for future international initiatives to protect democracy in this hemisphere and beyond. It is the most effective way to proceed, isolating Haiti's military regime and making clear that there is nowhere it can turn for support. Without the participation of other nations, a US embargo against Haiti would be futile.

My Top 6 Anti-Inflammatory Foods
Posted By Mark Sisson On January 25, 2012 @ 8:00 am In Diet,Nutrition | 203 Comments
Before I begin, let me preface this post with the identification of a simple confounder for everyone to consider as they read: context. Any discussion of a concept as nebulous, multifaceted, and confusing as inflammation must integrate the question of context. Inflammation itself is highly contextual – as I've discussed in previous installments [7], there are times when inflammation is a good thing and times when inflammation is a negative thing. There are also times when anti-inflammatory actions, drugs, or foods are negatives, even though "anti-inflammatory" has a positive connotation. If you blunt the post-exercise inflammatory [8] response with an anti-inflammatory drug, for example, you also run the risk of blunting the positive effects of that workout [9].
We must also pay attention to acute and systemic inflammation when discussing the desirability of an "anti-inflammatory" food. Eating a big meal tends to raise inflammatory markers [10] in the short term. If you're overeating every single meal, this is problematic; the acute will become the norm – the chronic. If you're eating big after a massive workout session, or because you're celebrating at an amazing restaurant with your dearest friends, or because you're coming off a twenty-four hour IF [11], it's fine. Context.
Eating high glycemic foods, namely refined carbohydrates that digest quickly and represent a big, instantly-available caloric load, tends to raise inflammatory markers in the short term. Again, if you're pounding bags of chips or white bread while sitting on the couch and the only walking you've done all day is to the pantry, those high glycemic foods will be inflammatory (to say nothing of the antinutrients in the bread [12] or the rancid vegetable oil in the chips). And if you do the same thing on a regular basis, they will induce systemic inflammation – or at least continuous acute spikes that mimic systemic inflammation. If you're eating a fast-digesting, high-glycemic white potato [13] after your glycogen-depleting sprint [14] workout, you will refill your insulin-sensitive muscles and the subsequent inflammatory spike will be either nonexistent or nothing to worry about. Competitive athletes probably thrive on high glycemic foods, couch potatoes develop metabolic syndrome eating the same things. Context.
Many people find dairy [15] to be inflammatory. I'm (sort of) one of them. I'll readily eat butter [16], put cream in coffee [17], slice quality cheeses [18], and have a cup of Greek yogurt [19], but a tall glass of store-bought milk doesn't sit well with me. I don't have to run to the toilet or anything; I just don't feel as good as I did before the glass of milk. Is milk, then, "inflammatory"? It could be, for me (though perhaps a glass of raw A2 cow, goat or sheep milk would have a different effect). It may not be for you. Dairy certainly wasn't inflammatory for this group of adult men with metabolic syndrome [20], nor for this group of pregnant women [21]. For both groups, the inclusion of dairy had an anti-inflammatory effect. That doesn't mean dairy is inherently anti-inflammatory; it might just mean that dairy [22] was better than whatever it replaced. Context.
So when I begin to rattle off my list of anti-inflammatory foods, keep these confounders in mind. Realize that what's good for the chronically-inflamed, vegetable oil-guzzling goose may not be as crucial for the sprightly, sardine-slurping gander. If you've got a casein allergy, even the Maasai-iest dairy [23] will be inflammatory. But what follows is a list (plus scientific references where applicable) of foods I've personally found to be anti-inflammatory. Since I don't carry around a CRP-ometer, I've tried to include references if available.
Whether you get it through molecularly-distilled oil, deep-red wild sockeye, raw oysters [24], or by exclusively eating pastured animal products, omega-3s [25] are required for a healthy inflammatory response. I feel off when I haven't eaten any fish for a week or so, but eating salmon [26] more than three days in a row doesn't really work, either, because too much omega-3 is similarly problematic (shoot for between a 3:1 and 1:1 ratio of omega-6:omega-3). I can tell I've gone too long without fish fat when my arthritis starts to sneak up on me. The advice for reducing omega-6 [27] across the board holds steady, of course, but everyone needs some form of fish fat. Another bonus is that it usually comes with healthy fish flesh, skin, bones [28], and sea minerals.
Omega-3 status is inversely associated with CRP in men [29]. The higher the omega-3, the lower the systemic inflammation.
Daily fish oil for six months reduced inflammation in patients with metabolic syndrome and especially those with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [30].
Delivering a "fish-fat" emulsion intravenously to patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome had anti-inflammatory and liver-protective effects [31].
I was going to list grass-fed dairy [32], grass-fed beef/lamb, and pastured egg yolks as separate categories, but reconsidered. As I mentioned in my post on human interference factor [33], the unperturbed animals raised in relative harmony with their ancestry make the best, healthiest, least inflammatory food, while stressed-out animals raised in evolutionarily-novel conditions and on evolutionarily-novel feed make unhealthier and more inflammatory food. The important factor is that your animal fat [34] comes from pastured animals who ate grass, that the chickens who laid your eggs ate grass and bugs and grains/seeds lower in omega-6. Pastured ruminant and dairy fat contains more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (PDF [35]), an anti-inflammatory trans fatty acid, and pastured eggs contain more micronutrients and more omega-3 fats.
In one study, people with the highest levels of dairy-derived CLA in their tissues had the fewest heart attacks [36].
Eggs from chickens on a high-omega-6 diet were higher in omega-6, and they increased oxidized LDL in people who ate them [37].
Read this post [38] to learn why getting CLA from dairy and animal fat is better than getting it from supplements.
After treating red palm oil [39] as more of an intellectual curiosity than a culinary tool for years, it has really grown on me. Lately, I've been tossing cubed, steamed butternut squash with red palm oil, sea salt, black pepper, cayenne, and turmeric. It's an interesting taste, but it definitely works (and it's a good dish for vegetarians, too). Roasting veggies in it is good as well, as is a spoonful on top of those white Japanese sweet potatoes [40] (the starchier, not-so-sweet ones). Enough about taste, though – red palm oil is incredibly dense with antioxidants. Full spectrum vitamin E, CoQ10, vitamin A, and vitamin K, all incredibly important in maintaining antioxidant status, all make appearances.
When compared to the treasured monounsaturated fat, palm oil (high in saturated fat) greatly reduced oxidized LDL in humans [41]. And that was refined palm oil. I suspect unrefined red palm oil, with all nutrients intact, would perform even better.
Pretty much every list of "Top 10 Anti-Inflammatory Foods" contains broccoli or cauliflower or kale or cabbage, but I thought I'd one-up those writers and include them all. I probably eat cruciferous vegetables five, sometimes seven times a week, mostly because they taste good but also because they contain helpful compounds like sulforaphane [42].
Broccoli lowered colonic inflammation in mice [43].
Red cabbage reduced oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation [44].
Sulforaphane reduced inflammation in arteries [45].
Although blueberries top most anti-inflammatory food lists (I've even seen Kaiser Permanente ads on the sides of buses that feature massive photos of glistening blueberries), and for good reason, I think the other berries get left out. Let's face it, though – there isn't really a bad berry out there. I don't put a lot of faith in the superfruit phenomenon (though I'm sure goji berries are perfectly healthy), but berries are just solid guys to have in your diet. They're delicious. They're low in sugar. They're high in surface area, which means lots of skin and all the antioxidants and phenolics that come with it (but go organic for that same reason). They're colorful, which means lots of bioactive pigments.
In men and women with metabolic syndrome, blueberries improved the related biomarkers [46], including markers of inflammation like oxidized LDL and serum malondialdehyde [47].
Preliminary evidence suggests that blueberries, strawberries, and cranberries can ameliorate metabolic syndrome [48] through modulation of inflammation.
If you haven't developed a taste for turmeric [49], I suggest you get on it. It is a potent anti-inflammatory spice, which protects against oxidation of dietary fats during cooking and against oxidative stress in the body after being eaten. You could go straight for the powerful stuff and simply take curcumin, the most active component of turmeric, but I'd suggest using the whole spice itself [50]. That's how it's been used for thousands of years, and you'd miss out on the incredible flavor and color it provides otherwise. Somehow I doubt crumbling up curcumin pills would have the same culinary effect.
Turmeric beat both ginger and an anti-inflammatory drug for treating arthritis [51] (I've had similar results).
Turmeric also upregulates LDL receptor activity [52]. If you remember from past posts on inflammation, poor LDL receptor activity can leave LDL particles open and vulnerable to oxidation [53] from inflammatory processes.
If you're interested in reading more about the distinct health benefits of turmeric, check out my older post [54].
That's what I've got. Dozens of other foods are perfectly healthy – staples, even – but the preceding foods are the ones that I find downright therapeutic. What about you? In the comment section, let me and everyone else hear about your favorite anti-inflammatory foods.

Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich Amusingly Insult EDM
Radiohead/Atoms for Peace pair compare David Guetta to cheap clothing
Thom Yorke is no fan of most electronic dance music today. That should be no surprise if you're the least bit familiar with his bands Radiohead or Atoms for Peace, which show far more interest in abstraction and complexity than so much recent EDM's Ibiza-via-Vegas glitz. What's more interesting, though, is how Yorke and fellow Atoms for Peace member (and longtime Radiohead producer) Nigel Godrich explain their distaste for the megaclub-and-velvet-ropes scene.
Basically, they compare it to fashion. In this analogy, shared in an interview with Rolling Stone, artists like Flying Lotus and others associated with Los Angeles's Low End Theory venue are "haute couture" — Godrich actually uses this phrase! — while more popular producers like David Guetta and Calvin Harris are the cheap, trendy stores where most of us can afford to shop.
"It's the H&M," Godrich is quoted as saying, while Yorke reportedly laughed happily. "That's how it works. You have some people being very, very dangerous and experimental, and then it trickles into, you know, making ridiculous hats that eventually get copied by your high-street stores." We like FlyLo, too, but "dangerous"? Should we protect our children?
While Godrich singled out Guetta and Harris specifically, Yorke was more circumspect. The most scathing the Radiohead frontman got was right after Godrich reportedly called mainstream electronic music "horrible," a "distillation" of the "sort of avant-garde end of it." According to RS, Yorke made scrubbing gestures, saying: "They wash the surface off and they've cleaned it up and Auto-Tuned it. It's like, 'Fuck you!'"
As irritating as it is to see members of a famously anti-corporate band blithely endorse the aristocratic view that all the best shit is too fancy for us plebes, they have a point. Other performers much more open about wanting to make money, from Drake to The-Dream, have complained about four-on-the-floor's Top 40 stranglehold. Dan Snaith of Caribou and Daphni has not inaccurately described an "EDM barfsplosion." And it was in pointing to Snaith that Yorke was able to get his view across without such elitist undertones.
For me, personally, signing up to that whole thing doesn't feel right," Yorke is quoted as saying of mainstream DJ culture. "It's not why we're into this. I mean, it's fun to DJ, but ... I mean, the Daphni record, [Dan Snaith] did that because he had started DJing a lot more and he felt like there were tunes in his head that he wanted to play but didn't have, so he had to make them. That's a little bit of the reason we're interested in this. It's why I write music — because I can't find it. I can hear it but I can't find it anywhere."
As for Radiohead, you can find their music in average-people stores, but don't hold your breath for a new album. Yorke told RS he doesn't know when Radiohead will work on another record together. And he said that "Identikit," one of two tracks he revealed on Reddit the band had recorded with Jack White, still isn't finished. Maybe the EDM barfsplosion finally is: At the very least, three tracks at the top of the Hot 100 last week were ballads, not club anthems.
And finally, what does H&M model Beyoncé think of all this?

Nine years ago, as I was preparing for my family's traditional turkey dinner, I suddenly thought about a neighbor. Her family had recently experienced a tragedy, and their Thanksgiving was not going to be about pumpkin pies.
Read Whole Story
I recently received an email from a company seeking my business. The message contained so many symbols, it appeared more a drawing upon a cave dwellin...
In the 15 years since I took that first step on my apron journey, I've received many aprons in the mail. Always, the aprons are lovingly packaged, as ...
Thanksgiving is meant to bring out the best in us. For some that means our most grateful side; for others, our most domestic. In the latter camp, Mart...
"It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that old apron that served so many purposes."
The plates reminded me of dinners in our old house, and looking around the living room, I could imagine my father (who had passed away 27 years ago this month) sitting on the sofa. Each clang of the grandfather clock reminded me of being a little girl.
I'm starting to wonder if this presidential election might hinge on aprons.
Here are some of the coolest tools I've tested over the past year. If there's an outdoor cook in your family, put any of these under the tree and you will eat better as a result.
As the icon of America's mothers, the apron symbolized the comfort of the home, with the red, white and blue Victory Apron a reminder of motherhood as a symbol worth fighting for.

Tom Derderian Author of The Boston Marathon
in Education
The Total Tutor will interview om Derderian, author of The Boston Marathon: A Celebration of the World's Premier Race.
om Derderian (1949-) is a coach, author and journalist. As a high school senior in Milford, he was accepted to Boston University, Northeastern, and UMass. Having won his school conference championship in the mile, he was a credible candidate for a spot on the cross-country and track teams at any of the three, but chose University of Massachusetts in Amherst and graduated in 1973 with a degree in English Literature and Journalistic Studies. He ran on the varsity track and cross country teams there. He ran a 4:25 mile and competed in the steeplechase.[1]
A running success both on and off the roads, Tom's accomplishments include running in the Olympic trials in both 1972 and 1976, numerous New England road championships, a 2:19:04 Boston Marathon in 1975.
Derderian was in third place at the the 1981 Portsmouth (NH) Marketplace 10K, with the first two runners out of sight. When he came to an unmarked intersection, he took a wrong turn and brought a large pack of several hundred runners off course with him adding about two minutes to the course. The pack approached the finish line from the wrong direction, and the race officials had to reverse the finish line after the first two runners finished.[2]
Derderian worked for Nike in the 1970s and 80s in product development and design. He earned several U.S. patents for his creative work in footwear and apparel.
Tom Derderian has been cross-country chairman for the USA Track and Field New England Association and vice president of the organization. Tom is a senior writer for New England Runner magazine. His work has appeared in Runner's World, Running Times, Marathon and Beyond, Track and Field News, and other running publications.

Dave McGillivray - The Boston Marathon - Defining Moments
in Self Help
Dave McGillivray is the Race Director of the BAA Boston Marathon and has directed many of the country' most prestigious races such as the 2004 and 2008 US Women's Olympic Marathon Trials, the TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K, the Mt. Washington Road Race, the Harvard Pilgrim 10K at Patriot Place, the Run for the Dream in Williamsburg, Va. and now the famous New Balance Falmouth Road Race on Cape Cod. Dave translates his extraordinary life journeys and athletic achievements into life lessons in a motivational presentation entitled "Defining Moments."
That 80-day trek in 1978 across the United States led McGillivrary to a life of pushing himself both mentally and physically. He addresses audiences with a motivational account about what's possible if you believe in yourself and your own ability to do the seemingly insurmountable. Dave McGillivray has inspired thousands of people, of all ages and backgrounds, to be their best and to pursue their dreams.

Boston Marathon Bombings: Security vs. Freedom
This week, Roundtable with Stephanie Robinson takes on the Boston Marathon Bombings and the age-old question of security vs. liberty. At the Roundtable are Juliette Kayyem, columnist for the Boston Globe and a mainstay on CNN throughout its coverage of the events; Senator for Massachusetts William "Mo" Cowan; Eric Hauser, democratic strategist and owner of the progressive communications firm, the Hauser Group; and Harvard Law Professor Ronald Sullivan.
Is there really such a thing as national security? What are our privacy rights as we grapple with the threat of domestic terror? Did the incident leave public officials wishing for some absent tool of government to improve safety now or in the future?
Roundtable guests take on these questions and more, all while listeners ask questions and share their experiences about the bombing and its aftermath. Time to gather at the Roundtable as Stephanie Robinson leads the discussion on hot topics, deep talk and a little bit of uplift. Roundtable with Stephanie Robinson...pull up a chair.

The Boston Marathon Bombings: One Year Later.
in Psychology
Join me on this special episode of Own Your Life as we reflect and remember the Boston Marathon Bombing of 2013. Special guest callers will include runners from last year's race, Becca Pizzi and Ken Doucette. Rick Pizzi of Pizzi Farms in Waltham, Mass will be joining the discussion. What lessons have we learned in the years that followed?
