PAHO/WHO urges individuals to "know your numbers" and health providers to take every opportunity to measure patients' blood pressure
Washington, D.C., 4 April 2013 (PAHO/WHO) — At least one in three adults in the Americas has high blood pressure, or hypertension, the number-one risk factor cardiovascular disease and death throughout the world. Hypertension is believed to affect nearly 1 billion people worldwide.
On World Health Day 2013, the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) is urging everyone to "know your numbers," that is, to have one's blood pressure checked regularly. PAHO/WHO is also urging health providers to check people's blood pressure at every opportunity, and especially in primary health care settings.
High blood pressure, equal to or above 140/90 mmHg, increases one's risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. Studies show that high blood pressure contributes to nearly 9.4 million cardiovascular deaths each year around the world. In the Americas, cardiovascular disease claims 1.9 million lives each year and is the main cause of death in most of the region's countries.
"Making sure people know their numbers is a personal responsibility, but it's also a professional responsibility for doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers," said PAHO Director Carissa F. Etienne. "The good news is that hypertension is both preventable and treatable. In some countries, prevention and treatment of high blood pressure and other risk factors have significantly reduced deaths from heart attack and stroke."
Although high blood pressure affects some 30% of the adult population, a third of them do not know they have the condition. Hypertension often has no symptoms, which means adults need to take every opportunity to get their blood pressure checked. The health risks of hypertension are even higher for people who also smoke, are obese or have diabetes.
Hypertension can be prevented by:
- Consuming less salt (especially in processed foods)
- Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet
- Engaging in regular physical activity
- Avoiding tobacco use
- Avoiding harmful use of alcohol
For those who have high blood pressure, controlling it is key. Recent studies in Latin America show that control rates for hypertension are generally low, ranging from 12% to 41%. By comparison, Canada, Cuba and the United States have control rates of more than 50%.
"In addition to prevention initiatives that many countries in the Americas have developed, it's also important that health providers ensure early detection and treatment of hypertension," said Pedro Orduñez, PAHO advisor on noncommunicable diseases. "People who are diagnosed with hypertension can be treated and controlled over the long term, significantly improving their chances of leading a long, healthy and productive life."
One of the most important contributors to hypertension is overconsumption of salt. "On average, we consume twice the amount of salt today that we need," said Orduñez. "So reducing salt consumption is one of the key interventions to reduce hypertension. Being physically active and eating healthy foods is also key."
Consuming less salt is not only a matter of individual behavior, however. "Most dietary salt today is from processed foods, and that is precisely where we should focus more efforts—on the food industry," said Orduñez. "But in addition, governments and all of society—all of us can do something to reduce the risk of high blood pressure."
A number of countries in the Americas are implementing measures to reduce hypertension and other chronic noncommunicable conditions. For example:
- Colombia is promoting physical activity through urban planning and transportation policies, and through its Ciclovías, or "Sunday bikeways."
- Bolivia and Ecuador are promoting healthy-living initiatives that include active living and healthy eating.
- Peru is promoting the country's traditional cuisine as a healthier alternative to processed foods.
- Argentina has worked with the food industry to reduce salt in bread and other processed foods, and other countries are engaged in similar efforts.
- Mexico has pioneered efforts to remove junk food and sugar-sweetened drinks from schools to reduce child obesity.
Last year, health authorities from throughout the Americas approved a strategy for prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases that has the goal of reducing deaths from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases by 25% by the year 2025. Reaching this goal would save an estimated 3 million lives in the hemisphere.
In signing onto the strategy, PAHO member countries pledged to prioritize noncommunicable diseases in their health and development policies, promote multisector dialogue and partnerships, and strengthen measures to reduce risk factors and improve health care coverage.
World Health Day is celebrated every year on April 7 to commemorate the anniversary of the founding of WHO in 1948. Each year's campaign focuses on an issue of priority concern for global health.

Tegra revs and roars
The Tegra processor is quite an amazing piece of silicon. It's smaller than your thumbnail and yet can drive a Lamborghini! Well, not quite but Tegra will be driving all the in-cabin entertainment in next year's just announced Lamborghini LP 700-4 Aventador.
The Aventador looks awesome from both the outside and when sitting in the fighter-jet-inspired cabin. Tegra's power shines when looking at the amazing entertainment system and especially the 3D GPS maps. In a supercar like this, milliseconds count and Lamborghini (like their parent Audi) has adopted Tegra to provide a smooth and fast interface. Just what you need when trying to find your favorite song at a top speed of 217mph (350kmh)!
Take a look at some of the great videos and reviews and keep an eye out as there will no doubt be more coming.
Oh, and for those wanting to preconfigure theirs (or dream), check out the official Aventador homepage.

How to Select
How to select Wireless Lighting Control System
There are countless benefits of installing a wireless lighting control system in a building, starting with an increased level of comfort and ending with energy-saving operation of each lighting fixture. The following guide that Westside Wholesale has prepared for you includes useful tips on how to select the most suitable wireless system for your needs.
First and foremost, the most important detail to specify before looking for a wireless lighting control system is the features that it should offer. Since there are various lighting fixtures installed in every building, your future system should have programmed modes of operation for each of them. Calculate the number of lighting fixtures of each type and then specify what is exactly that you want to control. For example, you may want to equip your indoor lights with an automatic on/off switch or a dimmer that will control the brightness of each lamp.
The next factor to pay attention to when selecting a wireless lighting control system is its compatibility with the lights that are installed in your house. Older fixtures may not be compatible with new controllers but there's a simple solution you can take advantage of. There are wireless adapters that can help the general receiver send signals to the fixture and trigger its switch.
Control options of a wireless system are also the factor to consider. You need to look for remotes with the easiest controllers, otherwise you and your family members will have hard time managing the lights' operation.
After all of the factors from above are taken into account, you might want to consider the installation and safety requirements and whether the system that you have selected complies with them. Usually, such information can be found in the description of the device, If not, ask the seller to provide you with it.
When the wireless lighting control system is finally selected, you may still have some concerns about its operation. Hopefully, the following answers will help you make the final decision.
How do I install a wireless lighting control system? All of the need-to-know information usually comes with the system details. However, complex systems with unusual connections and features may have specific installation rules that only manufacturer can provide. If you are not planning to install such system by yourself, which is usually the case, the person that you hire to do that will know everything there is to know about such installation.

A nice Gocco print by Magic Jelly, available for purchase at Etsy.
The Typographic Circle (like The Magic Circle but with less rabbits-in-hats and more font chat) was founded nearly 40 years ago and is still going strong in its mission to "bring together anyone with an interest in type and typography."
We're struggling to believe that Chloe Scheffe is still a student: her work is incredibly mature, nuanced and smart. She's studying at Rhode Island School of Design, which in part explains her brilliant output, and her site is a testament to the quality and breadth of her output. Two very different but equally accomplished projects that caught our eye are some brilliant monochrome posters for a show at the college, which need little explanation, and some signage, which needs a little more.
Somewhat lazily I've included an image in this post that concisely explains exactly what Moscow Sans is, who's created it and why – which pretty much negates this whole piece of text. But in truth it was the best example of the typeface in use that I could find, hence its inclusion with the images below. Anyway, rather than repeating the sentiments of this text I'll just say how excited I am to see Margaret Calvert lending her expertise to this project and reiterate a widely-held view that Henrik Kubel and Scott Williams are some of the finest typographic designers working today. Enjoy!
You'd struggle to make a big, bright, shiny Jeff Koons balloon dog anything but visually brilliant, but Parisian studio Artworklove has surely done more with it than most, making it the star of some beautifully designed invitations to the artist's show at the Pompidou centre. The colours, the scale and the stock selected work together beautifully and make a nice introduction to what the studio's been up to since we last posted about them in 2012, when we flagged up some great art direction using a nice Julia Roberts quip. Other cool noteworthy projects they've carried out of late include a great identity for French furniture and homeware site La Chance, which takes a simple icon and colour palette and twists the mark into something more dynamic.
It's often the case with design work that the final outcome is quite different in scope to the original brief. So it was for NB Studio, which was originally asked by the Almeida Theatre in London for a brand review and refresh. After what the studio calls "an intensive period of immersion and briefing sessions," the NB team came back with a more wide-ranging proposal – "It was clear then that this was to be a bold re-brand rather than mere cosmetic enhancement," they say.
About seven years ago Village Green produced a series of iconic posters for London's infamous Fabric nightclub… and then we haven't checked up on them since. Poor form on our part as they've been busy expanding, improving and creating work for bigger and better clients. Currently it seems they're specialising in architectural branding for commercial property developments, cladding the Alphabeta redevelopment in Finsbury Square, London and The Bonhill Building office spaces on Old Street. Of course they've done other stuff too; like the identity and exhibition design for Jean Paul Gaultier's Barbican show and Nike's 2013 Hypervenom campaign, but frankly there's just too much stuff to cover in one article. We'll be sure to keep closer tabs on these guys in future.
Barcelona-based designer and art director Quim Marin has a strong visual sensibility and a prolific work-rate if scrolling through his site is anything to go by. There's a load of impressive poster and other print design on there, with particularly effective use of some trendy tropes which can often feel stale in less talented hands. "In such a visually polluted environment I try to come up with fresh and memorable designs with a clear aim at essential beauty and equilibrium that, at the same time, will ensure communicative effectiveness," Quim says by way of a mission statement, and it's hard to sum up his work better than that.
You wade into Chevalvert's portfolio rubbing your hands across your eyes, unsure of what you've stumbled across. The Paris-based studio was founded in 2007 by Patrick Paleta and Stéphane Buellet and describes itself as being based on an "open, multidisciplinary approach," which might go some way to explaining why it feels like a cave laden with treasures. So many treasures.
Fantastic Man magazine has been redesigned, as shown in its teaser image of its tenth anniversary issue. The magazine's new issue cover star JW Anderson has shown the new cover on Instagram, which reveals a new design seeing the masthead run vertically and horizontally, instead of its previous preluder horizontal configuration. The cover image also runs to both sides, moving away from its previous white-edged format. We're excited to see what changes might have been made to the inside of the mag…
This morning I had a puncture that I couldn't fix and had to get the train to work, so it feels timely to be writing about Bikestock, a range of vending machines full of cycling essentials that can be found all over New York and Boston. The concept is a simple one; inner tubes, spanners, tyre levers tyres and any number of other little bits and pieces that make your wheels turn smoothly are boshed into a vending machine so you can grab them on the go and, more importantly, at any time of day!
Joost Bos is a recent graduate from the Academie Minerva Groningen in The Netherlands where he's spent three years studying for his bachelor's degree. Like many of his Dutch counterparts he's a dab hand with typography both traditional and experimental and has a plethora of printed pieces in his portfolio. This one, Sequence 1, is an exhibition catalogue for a show of artist books at Joost's alma mater, which perfectly demonstrates his design sensibilities. Immaculately set type is interspersed with hand-drawn elements and bright colours bring intrigue to an otherwise monochrome publication. Like what you're seeing? He's available for freelance work right now!
Is it just me or is Penguin killing it at the moment? The publishing house only recently celebrated its 80th birthday by launching a range of its classic titles for 80p each, accompanied by a slick website and a poster campaign which has reached even the furthest corners of London's transport system. And right now, they're in the midst of a new campaign called On the Page which celebrates women authors and characters in literary masterpieces.
The glorious coming together of pattern, shape and colour makes for a joyous experience and that's why print designers are held in such high regard. Last week we commissioned Animade to turn three eye-poppingly good Pucci x Orlebar Brown patterns into trippy GIFs, this week we're turning our attention to profiling creatives we believe are among the best around when it comes to working in this area. We are proud to present these #mastersofprint.

Northern Lights
The extreme dark of the Icelandic winter has a few perks. Between September and April, Iceland is treated to a magnificent natural display: the phenomenon of aurora borealis, named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas. This is what we commonly call the Northern Lights.
People and Language
Iceland was the last country to be settled in Europe, when emigrants from Scandinavia and the British Isles first came to live on the island in the ninth and tenth century. It remains the most sparsely populated country of the continent with less than three inhabitants per square kilometer.
Vatnajökull National Park
Vatnajökull National Park, established in 2008, encompasses not only all of Vatnajökull glacier but also extensive surrounding areas, including Skaftafell in the southwest, and Jökulsárgljúfur in the north. The park covers 13% of Iceland, making it the largest national park in Europe.

|6 Dec 2012 12:55 AM
The most symmetrical cake slice of Online Commentaries & Diversions:
• Review: Publishers Weekly occasionally lets smart and famous people recommend books. Jeopardy Master Ken Jennings "skipped the obvious Marjane Satrapi and Alison Bechdel entries in favor of this lesser-known three-volume masterpiece, about Tyler's complicated relationship with her distant dad, a World War II vet. With her playful, fluid brush line and busy patchwork of watercolor woodgrain, Tyler's art looks like the past feels." Carol Tyler's complete series You'll Never Know is available.
• Review: Booklist Online cooks up a review from some Pogo (The Complete Syndicated Comic Strips Vol. 2: "Bona Fide Balderdash"). Ian Chipman writes, "[Walt Kelly's] hallmarks of deft wordplay, daft swamp critters, and poisonously sharp sociopolitical satire are in full blossom here. The highlight is the 1952 election season that saw Pogo's first and entirely reluctant presidential run and the birth of the "I Go Pogo" slogan. Mimicking "I Like Ike. . . A must for all collections of comic-strip history."
• Plug: Forces of Geek throws out some good gift recommendations for kids like Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge "Only a Poor Old Man" by Carl Barks. "Comic books have always been an excellent gateway into reading, and when it comes to smart, imaginative and engaging, you don't have to go much further than Carl Barks. . . What better way to introduce your own Huey, Dewey or Louie to comics?"
• Review: Paste Magazines's 10 Best Collections of 2012 include two Fantagraphics titles. Hillary Brown loved Young Romance, by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby edited by Michel Gagné who "painstakingly restored them (without making them look exactly new, thus giving the book the feel of a vintage compilation that just happens to be in amazing shape). . . Simon and Kirby tried to bring as much excitement to primarily psychological and interpersonal goings-on as to punching and flying." And this might be the last year anything by Carl Barks is on the list, "We'll just grant it permanent honorary status as the best of the best, like when John Larroquette removed himself from Emmy consideration after winning four straight for Night Court. . . [Walt Disney's Donald Duck "A Christmas for Shacktown] once again proves Barks to be one of the finest draftsmen and storytellers we've ever had." Well put, Garrett Martin.
• Plug: The KUER Radiowest Show hosted many book sellers with their holiday gift ideas. Ken Sanders of Rare Books chose Walt Disney's Donald Duck: "A Christmas for Shacktown" by for the "brilliant, brilliant artwork by Carl Barks" and Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse: Volume 4 "House of the Seven Haunts" by Floyd Gottfredson to top his 2012 list for kids.
• Plug: The Scotsman lists some of the Best of 2012 as told by the best scotsman. Withered Hand's singer/songwriter Dan Willson has eyes only for Ron Rege, Jr. and states, "[The] Cartoon Utopia , his magnum opus, is quite a head-trip. Thousands of very dense little drawings and words resemble a psychedelic illuminated manuscript peppered with themes of spiritual redemption and good versus evil. It's a very unusual and beautiful work."
• Plug: From Boing Boing's list of the Best Damn Comics of 2012, compiled by Brian Heater. On Ron Rege Jr.'s The Cartoon Utopia , "The first esoteric text of the new century. The harbinger of the New Aeon. This book will be a staple of Esoteric Lore for millennia to come."
• Plug: Boing Boing makes my job easy by providing the Best Damn Comics of 2012. Compiled by Brian Heater, a lot of creative people offered up their favorite books of the year. Nick Abadzis thinks Kolor Klimax (edited by Matthias Wivel), "feels startling and vital to me and features a wide variety of styles, each as absorbing as all the others contained within these pages. I don't think I've enjoyed an anthology as much as this one in years."
• Plug: From Boing Boing's list of the Best Damn Comics of 2012, compiled by Brian Heater. Box Brown on Barack Hussein Obama, "Steven Weissman does stuff with actual analog comic materials that most dudes can't even do with photoshop." Jeffrey Brown chimes in on BHO, "Strange, funny and beautiful. Weissman reinvents his comics with the kind of book I wish I would make." Will Dinksi agrees, "Barack Hussein Obama is pretty much my favorite book of the year. . . I get a better appreciation for Weissman's craft in the printed collection where it can feel like you're actually looking at the finished artwork." Mari Naomi says,"I just love what this book is. If I didn't know better, I wouldn't even recognize this as Weissman. And I like that."
• Review: Paris Review checks out The Last Vispo, edited by Nico Vassilakis and Crag Hill. Nicole Rudick states,"it makes sense that in visual form poetry would elicit a kind of motion, an unfolding over the space of a page, and that even its sound would be voiced as a series of discoveries. Movement disrupts the continuity of a sentence, a phrase, a word. And language, unsettled, is unbound."
• Plug: From Boing Boing's list of the Best Damn Comics of 2012, compiled by Brian Heater. Box Brown continues to wax poetic on Josh Simmons' The Furry Trap, "Funny, even as it makes your hair stand on end and your skin start to crawl... Horror comics that gash their way below the surface."
• Plug: From Boing Boing's list of the Best Damn Comics of 2012, compiled by Brian Heater. Shaenon K. Garrity says that The Heart of Thomas by Moto Hagio "is a book I've been awaiting for over ten years, and it exceeds my expectations."
• Plug: From Boing Boing's list of the Best Damn Comics of 2012, compiled by Brian Heater. Nate Powell on Interiorae by Gabriella Giandelli, is "just what I look for in a narrative: patient, dreamy, full of seemingly endless layers of shadow, slowly revealing the sweetness inside the rotten, all within the confines of a single high-rise apartment building, surrounded by snow and static."
• Review: Slate finds themselves choosing Heads or Tails, going for broke. Dan Kois says, "Lilli Carré's short stories are dreamy, unlikely, and unsettling. What transforms the stories from nightmares to fables is Carré's artwork, which varies with each story. . ."
• Review: Page 45 looks at Heads or Tails by Lilli Carré. "The art reminds me a little of Lynda Barry and the flow of the pages reminded me a little of Walt Holcombe. . .I recently recommended this book to a customer who named their favourite film as Amelie (good choice!) precisely because it has that feeling of whimsy about it."
• Plug: From Boing Boing's list of the Best Damn Comics of 2012, compiled by Brian Heater. Jeremy Tinder on Heads or Tails by Lilli Carré, "A nice encapsulation of many of the ways Lilli has been pushing herself both narratively and stylistically over the last few years. If only there was a way to squeeze her animation in there too." Will Dinksi comments on Heads or Tails by Lilli Carré, "Beautiful artwork. Thoughtfully paced. "Of The Essence" is one of the best comic book short stories I've ever read."
• Plug: From Boing Boing's list of the Best Damn Comics of 2012, compiled by Brian Heater. Robert Kirby on No Straight Lines edited by Justin Hall, "Long overdue, this beautifully-produced, sharply edited retrospective may usher in a new era of respect and recognition for a long-neglected realm of the alt-comics world."
• Review: Blacklung by Chris Wright is whittled on by Tucker Stone at TCJ. It's called "the big, trippy brother to Drew Weing's Segar influenced Set To Sea. . . . [and] Gore saturates this comic. . . Brutality for its own sake is the point of some entertaining movies, no reason it can't be the point of some entertaining comics as well."
• Review: On Filth and Fabulations, Jeppe Mulich states that Chris Wright's "[Blacklung is] not a work of splatter punk or mindless gore, but rather an engaging, breathless, and humorous tale of the dregs of the sea, including a colorful assortment of pirates and madmen, quite clearly drawing inspiration from both Melville, Stevenson and Peckinpah."
• Review: Paste Magazine reviews Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking by Charles M. Schulz. "Seeing this work isolated and expanded only reinforces the sheer timelessness and brilliance inherent; Schulz was a master of mood and line in equal measure. . . it's some of the finest nostalgia porn you can put under the tree," quips Sean Edgar.
•Review: Pheonix New Times unwraps their present early and Jason P. Woodbury interviews Nat Gertler on Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking by Charles M Schulz. "[Schulz] had done a Christmas book, Christmas is Together-Time, using red and green," Gertler says, explaining the minimal color palette. "We wanted to keep that simplicity and Christmas-sense in there." The stable of Schulz characters transcend fads and time because as Gertler points out "It's not the way kids talk, but they way they feel is the way that kids feel."
• Plug: Drawn blog tops off another the Best of 2012 list with some Ernie Bushmiller. John Martz points out, "Nancy seems to be a love-it-or-leave-it strip, and I am firmly in the Love It camp. . . Often surreal, and always impeccably drawn, there is nothing quite like it. . . these books are a virtual masterclass in cartooning."
• Review: From Boing Boing's list of the Best Damn Comics of 2012, compiled by Brian Heater. Tom Kaczynski on Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy is Happy, "The minimalism of the art, the quirky humor, the amazing consistency, it all started with these strips."
• Review: Getting ready for the hardback release of Delphine by Richard Sala, Carrie Cuinn of SF Portal reviews the tale complete with "dark duotone inking style, little dialogue, and gothic, shadowy, art. . . Overall I think that Sala's retelling of that well-known love story is affectingly tragic. . . It is, in a word, creepy."
• Review: If MTV Geek knows about The End of the Fucking World then the secret is out: Charles Forsman is amazing! "[It] pulls you in like no other comic this year. Stunning in its simplicity and brave in its subject matter. Charles Forsman is a future force. . .

Thread: 2012 Forum Anthology Contests
May 15th, 2012, 12:38 AM #61
Ahh, and here comes my challenge in these things. I'm far too "wordy" for my own good in these short-story situations. But I think it will be a good experience for me in learning how to nip and tuck unnecessary details.
I think I'll go with the usual main stay of just throwing everything together and taking out the things not necessary for the story to survive. It is, after all, easier to hit the delete button than to add new words in.
13% through the first anthology, with 1572 words but I've barely just laid out the "theme stated" part. I'm sure I'll have to get my red marker out here.
May 15th, 2012, 04:04 AM #62
Yipee! after sort of thinking about this for ages a couple of characters started having a conversation in my head last night. - This is how my stories usually come about. I hear a snippet of conversation in my head, write it down and then try to work out who these people are and why they are doing what they're doing. I may well be wrong about what they are doing at the moment. I usually am.

Woohoo! Glad to see Vir and JM interested in this project. I'm so looking forward to all your submissions.
I may have another STUPENDOUS announcement to make...but not yet.
I don't know about you all, but this is a lot of fun putting this together. I feel we'll create something we can all be proud of.
May 17th, 2012, 05:07 PM #64
15% through my short story so far. At this point, I've gotten so excited about the particular setting that the characters will be in that I've found myself wanting to write this MORE than the Summer Scifi I set out to write. Interesting how that happens.
TMSO, for the "Wind" portion (and yes I'm thinking way ahead) I have a story in mind, but I'm not sure it's matching the rules of the contest. I'll PM you later.
May 17th, 2012, 06:50 PM #65
Well, my submission is in. Time (and the other SFFWorld members) will tell if I make the cut.

Howdy, Folks. I'm sensing a problem.
First, you all keep announcing your submissions. That's fine, but remember, I'm trying to keep the voting anonymous (maybe I should abandon that?).
Announcing isn't a problem if I post all the entrants at the same time (June 15th), but I'm thinking maybe it would be better to post them as they come in.
I'm thinking of doing that, becuase I'm thinking of a different sort of voting system. Instead of voting in one thread, with three votes each, I'm thinking more of a rating system for each story. So, each story will have a poll to it, that poll would have options like:
- In a few years, you will be awesome.
- Needs a bit of work, but I made it to the end.
- Time well spent, thank you.
- Great story! I'd buy that.
- I love it! More, please.
The three stories that get the most in ratings (points) for each contest, ends up in the anthology.
This way, all the stories get some sort of rating (that's precious feedback for an author), and I don't have to wait until after the deadline to put the stories up.
With this approach, however, to keep the anonymity, authors will have to refrain from responding to any ratings/votes/comments that they may get early on in this process.
What do you all think?
Deadlines would not change, of course, just the way we vote for the stories. Bad idea, good idea, stick to the plan?
May 17th, 2012, 11:36 PM #67
Ehh, I don't mind how it's done TMSO. Though I hope by announcing my percentage complete is not foiling any of the anonymity for you. I was thinking I'd write, finish, then I'd give it to you, and you'd post it when you were good and ready.
(At the risk of carrying on my crime, 20% complete)
May 18th, 2012, 03:57 AM #68
Out of curiosity, virangelus, how do you know it's 20%? I only know a story is finished - when it's finished. There comes a moment when I just know that 'that's it'. Often what ends up on the screen is vastly different from what I started out with. Sometimes what I thought was going to be a story ends up as a cartoon.
May 18th, 2012, 09:54 AM #69
TMSO, not sure I like that, as that potentially penalizes someone who can't submit until closer to the deadline. Someone who has their story posted now, compared to later, will potentially have a lot more points built up by the time polls are closed.
I don't mind the point system, as long as all stories are revealed together.

Okay, I will expose them all at the same time, but will muddle over the idea of voting vs rating.
Out of curiosity, virangelus, how do you know it's 20%?
May 18th, 2012, 05:29 PM #71
Sounds very organised. I start in the middle and work outwards. (Which is probably why I so rarely actually finish anything.)
Personally I like the 'put all the entries up at one go' approach. Apart from anything else, I think it might put me off entering if I read three stonkingly brilliant stories using a similar theme to my entry before I had finished writing it.
If stories start going up one by one, discussions will start and it will soon be obvious who wrote what and any possibility of anonymity is out of the window before you can say 'Jack Robinson'. (Damn! my cliché bins are getting empty, I need to stock up.)
I have just edited a previous post of mine to make it less obvious which is my story when they are put up.
May 18th, 2012, 07:18 PM #72
All apologies, tmso, although I didn't see a problem with maintaining anonymity while knowing which people were involved.
After all, unless some of us are either master computers hackers or experts of literary analysis AND willing to take the time to do either, its not like we're going to know specifically who wrote what. Ditto on the feedback thing, if it's handled carefully.
May 18th, 2012, 07:53 PM #73
Yeah, nerdy, I know. But it's holistic enough to let me track based on story substance rather than mere word count. Also, it makes my left brain feel quite happy to have that number, rather than feeling like it's stuck in the chaos of my right brain with no end in sight.
May 18th, 2012, 10:31 PM #74
I've finished a rough draft and am entering the time of editing. That means I'm approximately 7.3451893% done.
May 19th, 2012, 05:28 AM #75
I'm a "sort-of" planner. For shorter works, I put out a loose plan, really not much more than an origin and a destination for my story (as I work only in linear plots for now). If it's FF or a short story, I don't usually write it down. After that I'll just fill it in from there.

Just-Right Summer Sides
Sassy Baked Beans
Mix and match different kinds of beans and meat to suit your preferences. Our smoky-sweet baked beans will beat canned beans every time!
Old-Fashioned Scalloped Corn
Fresh or frozen whole-kernel corn blends with canned cream-style corn for a delicious take on this favorite side dish. Toasted and buttered crushed crackers add more texture to the top of the casserole.
Sugar Snap Peas with Sesame Seeds
This salad bursts with the flavor of fresh vegetables, cilantro and black beans. The recipe, from a Kettering, Ohio, reader, is loaded with vitamins A and C—and packs a wallop in fiber, too.
German Potato Salad
Serve this old-fashioned potluck dish warm.
Three Ways to Butter Up Sweet Corn
Serve our seasoned butters as a topping for sweet corn, steaks, seafood or burgers. They make a great sauce for vegetables, too.
Cheddar-Tomato Cobbler
Sweet cherry tomatoes and caramelized onions bubble under cheesy cornmeal biscuits. Serve with a crisp lettuce salad for a meat-free harvest supper.
Squash Ribbons with Parmesan and Crisp Prosciutto
This toss-together recipe from BelGioioso Cheese in Wisconsin makes a pretty side dish in summer, when zucchini and yellow squash abound.
Fingerling Potato Salad with Honey-Thyme Vinaigrette
The addition of fresh haricots verts gives this potato salad fresh-from-the-garden taste. The recipe is from Chicago chef Myk Banas.
Healthy Green Bean Casserole
Bread crumbs combine with tender, sweet onion to top this casserole, while low-sodium soup mixes with yogurt for the green bean sauce.
Oven-Roasted Tomatoes
The sweet tomatoes blend with tangy-mellow balsamic vinegar and basil. Serve with some crusty bread to soak up the liquid.
Corn and Tomato Pasta Salad
Shredded chicken makes this gorgeous salad hearty enough to serve on its own for dinner.
Squash and Tomato Bake
Summer squash adds texture to this easy side dish, which combines stewed tomatoes with paprika, garlic, basil and pepper, as well as some melty mozzarella and Parmesan. It goes well with roast chicken or beef.
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Quivey's Grove in Madison, Wisconsin, whips up this version of mashed potatoes that matches plenty of dairy richness with garlic, Parmesan, black pepper and green onion.
Army and Lou's Macaroni and Cheese
This three-cheese specialty comes from Army and Lou's, a soul food eatery on Chicago's South Side.

This lighter version of traditional potato salad calls for cubed white, red or Yukon gold potatoes mixed with light sour cream and a combination of olive oil, vinegar, garlic and black pepper.
Broccoli-Cheddar Mashed Potatoes
A classic veggie mix meets potatoes in this recipe, which calls for adding fresh or frozen broccoli florets and cheddar cheese to creamy mashed potatoes.
Cherry-Apple Slaw
Nuts and fruit add crunch and color to cabbage tossed in a homemade vinaigrette. This beautiful twist on traditional coleslaw is best served right away for maximum crispness, but it will hold for up to 24 hours.
Sunny Broccoli Salad
A Cleveland reader makes this salad the day ahead and refrigerates the dressing and vegetables separately. When it's time to serve it, she tosses everything together. Bacon, sunflower kernels and raisins make a crunchy and flavorful side dish.
Fresh Green Tomato Relish
Don't let any hard, unripened tomatoes go to waste! Pile this gingery, sweet-tart relish on brats or hamburgers, or serve it over grilled fish. The relish keeps well in the fridge for 1 week, but if you like, it can be canned for longer storage or to be given as gifts.
24-Hour Tex-Mex Salad
Based on Tex-Mex ingredients, this layered salad can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. For a fun presentation, assemble individual servings in clear jelly jars, dressing and all, then refrigerate.
Deviled Egg Macaroni Pasta Salad
Combine two potluck staples to create this yummy potluck salad. Expect classic deviled egg flavor with a little zing from the Dijon-style mustard and salty pickled onions.
Easy baked bean fix-ups
Pop the top on a can, and give summer's easiest barbecue side new personality with these simple baked bean mix-ins. Go saucy: Barbecue sauce. Go sweet: Pineapple tidbits. Go meaty: Diced ham. Go smoky: Smoked paprika.
Creamed Corn Casserole
Cream cheese adds extra creaminess to this corn side-dish recipe. Bake in the oven, or follow the slow cooker directions.
Sicilian Potato and Green Bean Salad
Lemon-olive oil dressing balances fresh Mediterranean flavors in this potluck salad. Make it a main dish by adding one 7-ounce can tuna (drained).
Neighbor-Pleasing Baked Potato Salad
Lots of cheese, olives and bacon dress up cooked potatoes in this hot-from-the-oven specialty.

German-style bacon-flavored beans complement beef or pork. The recipe comes from a Sheboygan, Wisconsin, reader.

ECM New Series 2256
Sofia Gubaidulinas 80th birthday in October 2011 generated much press coverage around the world, appropriately stressing the uniqueness and the variety of her compositional approaches. Both are in evidence on these recordings from Lockenhaus. Gidon Kremer is the soloist and Kremerata Baltica the ensemble on the premiere recording of The Lyre of Orpheus, dedicated to the memory of Gubaidulinas daughter. Kremer has long been a committed advocate of Gubaidulinas work, and the composer has praised the way the violinist seems to unleash music from the soul. In this work of austere beauty and raw lyricism, violin, string orchestra and percussion intermingle in new ways. At a subterranean level, the piece is also an exploration into acoustic phenomena and the physics of sound, with pulsating difference tones part of its underlying structures. The Lyre of Orpheus was recorded in 2006, a month after Kremer gave the first performance. Canticle of the Sun, recorded in 2010, revisits the celebrated piece that Gubaiduilina wrote in tribute to Mstislav Rostropovich on the occasion of his 70th birthday in 1997. Rostropovichs famously sunny disposition was an inspiration, by association prompting Gubaidulina to set St Francis of Assisis Canticle of the Sun for choir. In this recording, Nicolas Altstaedt, one of the most accomplished cellists of his generation, takes on the highly expressive lead role. A further, timely, Lockenhaus connection here: as of this year, Altsteadt takes over from Kremer as the new director of the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival.

Spicy Cashew Chicken
Spicy Cashew Chicken
Spicy Cashew Chicken – easy and delicious chicken with cashew nuts with just the right amount of spicy heat. Takes 20 mins to make and much better than takeout.
Originally published on Sep 1, 2010. Updated with new photos.
I love Thai food. However, a lot of Thai recipes that I like are basically Chinese in origin, with local influences, which add an exciting layer of taste structure to the originals. There are many examples: Rad Na, Pad See Ew, and in this case, cashew chicken. In Chinese cuisine, these dishes are prepared the Chinese way, but the Thai versions are flavored with fish sauce or other local seasoning sauces such as sweet soy sauce, spices (yes!), chilies, and slightly varied ingredients. The end results are always delicious, sometimes more delicious than the Chinese equivalents.
I always appreciate the local touch, which make good recipes even better!This spicy cashew chicken is adapted from my favorite Thai cookbook "Thai Cooking Made Easy." This variation of spicy cashew chicken is also popular in Southeast Asia. In fact, it's one of my favorite chicken dishes whenever I eat out at local hot stir-fries stalls or restaurants when I am home in Malaysia. To me, it's the local interpretation of Chinese cashew chicken and Kung Pao Chicken, combined into this mouthwatering spicy Thai cashew chicken.
I know a lot of you love the spicy cashew chicken at Cheesecake Factory but I will assure you that my spicy cashew chicken tastes MUCH better than the sweetened up version they offer. It's savory, with just the right amount of heat, and the perfect balance of flavors, making it such a delight with steamed white rice.
The best thing of all, it's super easy to make, takes just about 20 minutes from prep to dinner table. Fire up your wok or skillet, try my spicy cashew chicken recipe and you will soon add it to your dinner rotation.

I love this dish. In Malaysia, this is called Kung Pao Chicken, haha, it's always served at tai chow stalls. Love it. YUMMY!
YUM!!! Bee this looks sooo good! I love cashews in savory dishes!! :)
I love cashews yes in savory dishes but also discovered how awesome cashews are with chicken. Our Local grocery store Wegmnas (best grocery store in the world) makes a recipe like this pre-made but it's 10 bucks a pound! Need to make instead.
I put cashews in practically all my chicken stir fries, hehe. Haven't eaten Kung Pao chicken in ages, will need to cook this soon!
I thought it looks like Kung Po chicken too and like you, I definitely prefer cashew to peanuts :)
great looking recipe! do you use 1tsp of all three items in the first line of the sauce ingredients? thank you
Nice recipe! Simple and looks easy for a newbie like me to attempt! :D I have a question though – does the recipe call for raw cashew nuts? Can I use those that are already fried/toasted?
No wonder why I also love Malaysian foods : ). I love cashews, believing it as a healthy alternative to peanuts.
Oh I love this dish.. Can also replace the chicken with cuttle fish if you do not mind so much the cholesterol! LOL!
My mouth is watering now..Thanks Bee for featuring this. I love it with lots of cashews!
Hi!! This is a popular dish. Fish sauce will definitely add another dimension to the taste. Will try this recipe.
Looks lovely, Bee. I'm a fan of Thai food too so this is something we will try at home.
i had once in a chinese restaurant they fry with black vinegar..tastes great too!
I am sure this is delicious but I was thinking of pork instead of chicken.
interesting to see the thai interpretation of what looks to me almost like a classic kung poh chicken..would definitely like to try out the receipe!
I cooked this today! It is delicious! thank you !!
This is a delicious thai classic. It's probably the most popular thai dish here next to Neua pad nam man hoi (stir fried beef with oyster sauce), pad thai and Tom yum kung/kai.
We have a amazing little thai cafe here named Thai Orchid Cafe. Home made quality thai food at it's best. Glad that you posted this classic here bee.
Keep up the good work.
Love this dish. You can find it in almost every country with its own little twist.
This dish is delicious and it is one that pleases the Western palette as well. When my hubby first came to Malaysia, all he knows is 2 Chinese dishes, Sweet Sour Port and Kung Po Chicken LOL!
This looks so drool-worthy! I love Thai too.
Hi, With the Spicy Chicken with Cashews recipe I couldn't see an answer to the question Is it 1 teaspoon of all the three ingredients for the sauce on the first line of the sauce ingredients ? I must cook this dish tomorrow as I am drooling just thinking about it.
Yum! This is something I will try out.
This dish sound delicious! I'm a big fan of Thai food. I have tried other numerous Kung Pao recipes and it didn't taste so great. Hopefully, this will one will alter my mind. The picture is perfectly taken @ a great angle.
One question, which of the 3 ingredients (maggie, soy, golden mountain) do you recomend using in stir-fries?
I made this dish the day you posted it and i must say it turned out fabulous! i made some fried rice with it, and some stir fried garlic mushrooms to go with it, and my husband said he felt like he was eating food from a really great restaurant! (thats a compliment here in Pakistan, as home cooked chinese/thai is usually really bad)
thank u so much for such a lovely recipe!
Thanks very much for the great recipe i'm making it for a school project on malaysia and it looks delicious!!!!!!!
i like your food presentation. awesome.
Cooked this last night and hubby loved it.. he ate 2 bowls of rice!!
It was yummy and so easy to make.. thanks! :) and congrats on your little bundle of joy .. welcome to parenting 101 :))
Hi Bee, Congratulations on your bundle of joy! He is so cute! Cooked this spicy chicken and paired it with white rice. It's delicious! Ribuan terima kasih for sharing!
Delicious! I love u r food presentation, creative!
Hi there,
Just to let you know I tried this recipe and it turned out really delicious. Loved by my husband, mom-in-law and grandma-in-law! Am going to try the rest of your recipes real soon!
Can shrimp be substituted in for chicken in this recipe?
Where do I see the recipes?
for some reason I see only the pictures but not the recipe
have I misundersand something?
Thanke you
Can you use the same baking soda trick in this recipe that is used in the Chinese cashew chicken recipe?
Its really healthy and tasty food. I really enjoyed the cooking
I mixed this with some green peppers and mushrooms, and used steamed jasmine rice instead of white rice – it was delicious!
I like your food merinet mathed
I will try this food making in our hotel
I can't find dried red chilies in my local grocery store. Could I substitute it with a teaspoon of dried chili flakes instead?
Thank you so much for this recipe! I was looking for a recipe similar to my husband's favorite Thai restaurant dish. This tastes exactly like it! I made it last weekend, and he raved and raved about it. I left out the sugar, and it tasted perfect. This has moved to the top of our favorites list. Thank you again!
This recipe was delicious!! My husband and I loved it. Thanks for sharing..
Very close to the Thai-restaurant version, which I absolutely love! Great recipe — thank you very much for this one!!
A question please.. In the recipe section for the sauce you list "1 teaspoon soy sauce/Maggi seasoning/Golden Mountain sauce" does that mean we add 1 teaspoon of each of those items listed, OR 1 teaspoon of any of them? Thank you in advance.
Best Recipe. I loved it. Thanks for sharing the wonderful recipe with us.
Looks and sounds so good. Thank you Bee.
This looks yummy! You don't specify light or dark meat chicken so can I use thighs, which would be my preference?
What is fish sauce? What brand do you recommend?
This looks yummy Bee! Why do I have to rinsed the roasted cashew nuts??
Hi, tried this today but used oyster sauce because I dont have fish sauce. But the taste was amazing nonetheless. great recipe, thanks so much!

Rochester Deputy City Manager helps start scholarship in memory of daughter
Friday, January 18, 2013
ROCHESTER — A scholarship is being made available solely to Bud Carlson Academy students thanks to a collaborative effort between the family of Deputy City Manager Karen Pollard and the Rochester Rotary Club. The scholarship is in memory of Pollard's daughter Elaine, who graduated from Bud Carlson Academy in 2010 and passed away from cancer in November 2012.
Karen Pollard said she and her family tried to find a way "to make that dream come true for other kids." She noted that many students at Bud Carlson Academy have "some pretty tough stories," but that they're motivated to get a diploma. She also praised Bud Carlson Director Kathy Dubois, for her ability in helping the kids.
Over $2,000 has been collected so far and the scholarship is slated to be awarded around June this year, to be followed annually, afterward. The decision about who will receive the scholarship will not be made via the traditional application process, but instead based on students' senior projects.

High school roundup: OR's Cole second at wrestling MOC
Monday, February 25, 2013
DOVER — Exeter senior Ross Dannar proved the better wrestler for the third time this year over Oyster River junior Caleb Cole. Dannar bear Cole, 9-2, in the 160-pound final of the Meet of Champions Wrestling Tournament Saturday at Pinkerton Academy.
Dean Pratt had two goals, including the game-winner in the third period, while Mik Ricker added a goal and an assist, and Noah Pease also scored. Connor Pease and Ryer Smith had two assists each, while goalie Wyatt Ricker made 26 saves for Noble/Wells (11-8).
William Ohrenberger scored the lone Bearcats' goal from Dakota Hippern and Ben Bailey. Peter Robertson made 37 saves in goal.


text: This hand-crafted stoneware pot is uniquely designed to encourage the fermentation of fresh fruits and vegetables. Use it to transform cabbage into sauerkraut, to pickle vegetables, and to cure olives. The process is simple: Place salted vegetables in the crock, fill with water, then cover with the pot's heavy lid to keep vegetables submerged and encourage lacto-fermentation. As fermentation begins, naturally occurring carbon dioxide drives the air out of the pot, creating an oxygen-free environment ideal for the long, slow brining process.
