Gallery: Urban Harvest Series: Furniture for Growing, Storing and Compo...
The Urban Harvest Series (UHS) is a set artifacts and furniture that integrate nature's closed cycles and cultivation into our own daily routines. Created by Design Academy of Eindhoven's Sebastiaan Sennema, the unit allows people to grow, store, prepare, and compost organic waste, actively engaging them in a holistic and fundamental practice.
UHS consists of an oak table (with adjustable leg height) and a terracotta base with compartments for potting and storing harvested food without the use of electricity. Nestled under the table is a triple-layer, colorful compost bin designed to address all the different stages of decomposition.
The design can be combined with Sennema's other graduation project recently featured here.

I have a new love. It's called Hollandaise sauce. Velvety, lemon-butter, it partners with meat or fish, eggs, grains or vegetables. A very democratic sauce. One for all.
The only way to enjoy this delectable garnish is to make it yourself. You can be tres authentique and do it the long way, a la master chefs Jaques Pepin, Julia Child and Elizabeth David. Or you can totally cheat and follow the example of this brief Food Lab video. A stick blender and two minutes and you've got it.
But why stop there? Next up - homemade mayonnaise. For such a common condiment it is way more complicated. Which oil, whole egg or just the yolk, lemon juice or vinegar, arm-powered whisk or blender? That's where a number of lovely books came to my rescue and taught me way more about sauces than I thought possible, especially this marvelous book, Modern Sauces: More Than 150 Recipes for Every Cook, Every Day. We have many, many others! You too can emulate the great cuisines of every continent with sauces and toppings which enhance flavor and presentation.
But my greatest discovery was this handy compendium to the self-sufficient and frugal gourmet, The Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making. Very resourceful, inspiring, entertaining, and useful! Next up - homemade ketchup.

Yes Please by Amy Poehler is everything I thought it would be. It is funny, candid, and at times, it addresses deeper issues like negative self-talk, disability, and divorce. According to the book jacket, Yes Please is "A collection of stories, thoughts, ideas, lists, and haikus from the mind of one of our most beloved entertainers, Yes Please offers Amy's thoughts on everything from her 'too safe' childhood outside of Boston to her early days in New York City, her ideas about Hollywood and 'the biz,' the demon that looks back at all of us in the mirror, and her joy at being told she has a 'face for wigs.' Yes Please is chock-full of words and wisdom to live by."
If you enjoy reading the smart and poignant writings of Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, Lena Dunham, Sarah Silverman, Mindy Kaling, and Carol Burnett (I could go on and on, but I think you get the point) then I assure you, you will enjoy Poehler's book. To give you any indication about how quickly it reads, I checked it out yesterday evening and before morning had read half of it…and I'm a slow reader.
If you prefer audiobooks, we have you covered. You can put the BOCD on hold here and experience Poehler's book by listening to her read it. Her voice is pretty strong in her writing, but I imagine her jokes will only be improved by her own vocal inflections. I know as much as I enjoyed reading Bossypants, I loved listening to it.
Anita Diamant, author of The Red Tent, Day After Night and The Last Days of Dogtown, has written a new novel to be published in 2015. Titled The Boston Girl, the book tells the story of Addie, a young Jewish woman growing up in Boston in the early twentieth century. Addie's parents are suspicious of the changing world around them and want nothing more than to keep her and her two sisters close to home until they can marry suitably and begin families of their own. Addie's curiosity and intelligence draw her outward, however, and she dreams of going to college and marrying for love, not convenience. As she ventures out into the world of short skirts, movie theaters, dancing, and opportunity, she experiences more than she would have ever dreamed possible. The premise of this lovely book is the question, "What made you the woman you are today?" asked of eighty-five-year-old Addie by her young granddaughter, which leads Addie to share her remarkable memories and experiences. "The Boston Girl is a moving portrait of one woman's complicated life in twentieth century America," reads the book jacket, "and a fascinating look at a generation of women finding their places in a changing world."
Diamant's books are notable for their focus on women in often-forgotten places and times in history. The Red Tent tells the story of the Biblical figure Dinah, a woman who's life is only hinted at in the book of Genesis as the daughter of Jacob. Day After Night is a fascinating portrait of four female World War II concentration camp survivors who have escaped to Israel but are still trying to determine where they will fit in. Check these books and Diamant's other works out at the AADL!

The Fourteenth Goldfish by Jennifer L. Holm offers a fresh, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful take on a classic science fiction premise: a potion to make you young again.
Sixth-grader Ellie's life with her colorful drama-teacher mom is turned upside-down when her old-fashioned, opinionated grandfather moves in with them. The twist? Her grandfather is a scientist who has uncovered the secret to anti-aging and is now a thirteen-year-old boy! While trying to help her grandfather recover the anti-aging potion from his lab, Ellie finds new friends, develops a growing love for science and a greater understanding of her unconventional family.
I found the audiobook to be a particular treat, with a narrator who not only sounds like a middle-school girl but also delivers lines with such perfect comic timing that I found myself laughing out loud again and again.
Fans of The Water Castle or other science-centered books for girls will definitely want to check it out.
Called "one of the best and most compulsively readable spy-fiction debuts in years", one-time China correspondent for the BBC, Adam Brookes' debut Night Heron * * relocates the traditional Cold War thriller to modern China.
The novel opens with an edge-of-your-seat escape from a remote high-security Chinese labor camp. Prisoner 5995 was once a promising engineer, imprisoned for impulsively attacking a soldier during the Tiananmen Square protests. Back in Beijing, he (code name Peanut) is desperate to renew the deal with UK intelligence in passing along technology secrets, and mistakes British journalist Philip Mangan for an undercover operative who reluctantly, is drafted into the world of espionage. Navigating not only between their two governments, but also round the opaque American intelligence agenda, Mangan and Peanut find themselves running for their lives.
"Fans of the international espionage genre will inhale this fast tale in a few suspenseful breaths. Brookes uses multiple narrators - the spy, the engineer, the journalist, the agent, the boss, whose conflicting alliances tell the real story."
The Madness of July by James Naughtie is an "explosive, brilliantly written spy novel".
Set over the course of 6 sweltering days in 1976, an American spy is found dead, stuffed into a cupboard in the House of Commons. In his pocket is Will Flemyng's phone number. A former MI6 operative who is now a rising star in the Foreign Office, and tapped for the U.S. ambassadorship, Will is forced to return to his old craft in order to safeguard some of the most sensitive secrets of his government. In the meantime, Will and his 2 brothers with hearts set on vacation in the Scottish Highlands, are confronted with interlocking mysteries that involves family secrets and a cold crime case. Clever readers will sense early on that these threads are part of a single web.
"Unlike thrillers that focus on spycraft, this debut novel from a British political affairs journalist (The Washington Post and The Guardian) digs into the psychology of secrets hidden in the crevices between diplomacy and espionage."
"For mood and atmosphere, Alan Furst's novels come to mind and for tension and pace, think of the British TV series MI-5."

In the month of November you might notice more men walking around sporting mustaches. No, there isn't going to be a shortage of razors and shaving cream! Many of these men are taking part in a campaign called Movember. Movember started over 10 years ago in Australia as a way to raise awareness about men's health. In the past few years the mustache movement has made its way across the world and has become an international campain that has raised $559 million and funded over 800 programs in 21 countries.
But hey, grown men aren't the only ones allowed to have fun with Movember! Children can participate too by checking out these great books centered around, you got it, MUSTACHES!
Mo's Mustache by Ben Clanton
Monster Mo's big, beautiful mustache inspires all of his friends to copy his style by growing fabulous mustaches of their own, leaving Mo to wonder how he will continue to distinguish himself.
Mustache Baby by Bridget Heos
When Baby Billy is born with a mustache, his family takes it in stride. They are reassured when he nobly saves the day in imaginary-play sessions as a cowboy or cop and his mustache looks good-guy great. But as time passes, their worst fears are confirmed when little Billy's mustache starts to curl up at the ends in a suspiciously villainous fashion. Sure enough, "Billy's disreputable mustache led him into a life of dreadful crime."
Mustache by Mac Barnett
When extremely good-looking King Duncan builds more and more tributes to his handsome face, neglecting kingdom projects and repairs, his loyal subjects find a mustachioed solution.
Big Bushy Mustache by Gary Soto
In order to look more like his father, Ricky borrows a mustache from a school costume, but when he loses it on the way home his father comes up with a replacement.

"In the early part of 2013 I noticed all styles of MBT shoes on clearance. MBT had just gone out of business, their remaining shoes being sold off. Now what was I going to do for shoes? I stand 10-14 hours per day on my feet. Because of this abuse I developed bone spurs in each heel, and plantar fasciitis. Walking anywhere, any distance is painful, difficult. MBT shoes were recommended to me by other people with similar problems. Wearing these shoes have made it possible for me to walk in comfort again. They are the only reason I can stand or walk. Fast forward to the new MBT shoes produced by the company that bought the old MBT: They're great! Not as butt ugly as the old styles. Just as comfortable and super fun. They still run a little small. I hope they continue to make a size US 12 for the winter, I need that size for close toe boots. I have a serious MBT habit. Keep 'em coming guys."

Actor John Leguizamo a Big Fan of Big Government
Actor John Leguizamo refuses to employ any cagey politically correct speak about his love for big government. There's no dancing around or soft-pedaling with him. For Leguizamo, big government is all good.
In a recent interview with Nicholas Ballasy, the actor asked "What's wrong with big government?"
"I've never had a problem with big government. I've felt our country's always done best during Eisenhower, FDR, when we had we had big government … We're not in a fascist state, so what's the problem with big government? It's not a problem. It makes things better," the actor said.
Leguizamo also went on to push for more regulation on Wall Street and claimed that there needs to be more government funding "in the arts."
He also seemed to have no problem paying even more taxes than he now does.
"I think with the taxing the rich now that's finally happening now which we need to do — I mean, back in the 50's and 60's, if you made money you paid like 70 percent in taxes or even higher than that, and that's when we started booming and creating a middle class," he said.

Brown branches
We just moved into a new construction home, which is surrounded by many evergreen trees (spruces, I believe). It is obvious that some of the trees were damaged during construction. I removed branches that were broken, but now I am noticing that some of the "good" branches are turning brown. Is this normal, or is it related to damage? I'm not sure if I should trim more branches, or just leave it alone and let the tree heal itself.
damage from new construction.. which involves soil compaction from large machines.. takes years to show.. and is most likely inevitable ... unless some specific care was taken ...
otherwise.. broken branches should be removed ... either taken back to a viable branch.. or at the trunk..
other than that info.. there is nowhere for us to go w/o a picture ...

GAO discussed issues involving Superfund cleanups managed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and potentially responsible parties (PRP). GAO noted that: (1) EPA and PRP-managed sites used different treatment and containment methods for hazardous waste cleanup, making comparisons difficult; (2) cleanup plans often fail to document the extent of cleanup and justify the remedy; (3) cleanup goals often do not specify all polluted media, raising questions concerning completeness and consistency; and (4) the lack of a centralized database hampers Superfund cleanup efforts.

Flooding not so bad, after all?
Forecast again downgraded for N. Dakota
The U.S. National Weather Service has once again downgraded the flood forecast for Fargo, N.D., predicting the Red River will crest around 2006 levels.
The U.S. weather office's advanced hydrologic prediction service predicted Sunday the Red River will crest at about 37 feet on April 30.
That's down a foot from the prediction issued Friday. Earlier in the flood season, Fargo prepared for the possibility of a crest above the Red River's highest recorded level in the North Dakota city -- 40.82 feet, set in 2009.
A 37-foot crest would be equal to the 2006 Red River flood, the sixth-highest on record for Fargo. If the prediction is accurate, flood-fighters in Fargo should have no trouble protecting the city in the coming days.
The U.S. National Weather Service also predicted the Red River will crest in Grand Forks on or around May 4, likely at a level of 46 feet.
That would be equal to the 2010 Red River flood, the eighth-highest on record for Grand Forks.
The service did not yet have a crest-date prediction for Pembina, N.D., which sits across the Canada-U.S. border from Emerson.
Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship's latest prediction has the Red River cresting at Emerson at a height similar to 2010 levels, if sunny and dry weather continues.
The worst-case scenario for the Red River in Manitoba -- heavy rains over the next three weeks -- would still bring crests below the level of the 2009 flood, Manitoba flood forecasters said in the Saturday bulletin.
On Sunday, smaller tributaries of the Red River in Manitoba were beginning to drop, while larger tributaries, such as La Salle River and Roseau River, continued to rise, the province said in a flood bulletin.
As of Sunday afternoon, the Red River in Winnipeg had risen to 12 feet at the James Avenue monitoring station, submerging the river walk at The Forks.
The Red River Floodway is not yet operating, but likely will begin to divert water around the city in the coming days.
The Red is expected to crest in Winnipeg between 17.8 and 20.5 feet James later in May.
If the crest winds up at the lower end of that range, the city may not proceed with plans to advise the owners of 26 low-lying properties to build sandbag dikes.
Elsewhere in the province, volunteer firefighters saved a 12-year-old girl who had been clinging to a tree in fast-moving flood water near Ste. Rose du Lac on Saturday night.
RCMP said the girl and her father were in a vehicle and were trying to cross a "low-level crossing" that was under water. The vehicle got stuck.
The girl got into the water and was immediately swept downstream. When emergency crews arrived, they found the man on the roof of his vehicle and his daughter in the water holding onto a tree.
The firefighters waded into the water, which was up to their necks, and rescued the girl and then got the man as well.
Two firefighters, the girl and her father were taken to the Ste Rose Hospital for treatment of various stages of hypothermia.
RCMP are reminding everyone to use caution around spring waters. Streams and rivers are fast moving with cold temperatures and are dangerous.
Ste. Rose du Lac is approximately 50 km southeast of Dauphin.

I have this legacy database for which I'm building a custom viewer using Linq to Sql.
Now some of the fields in a table can have the value NULL. Using normal databinding in a DataTemplate (typed for the Class generated by the ORM Designer)
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=columnX}"/>
If columnX has value NULL, nothing is displayed. (It seems the to be the WPF convention) I'd like to display "NULL" instead if the value is NULL. (equivalent to
column_value ?? "NULL")
I could use a converter as in
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=columnX, Converter={StaticResource nullValueConverter}}"/>
Converter class
class NullValueConverter : IValueConverter
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
if (value == null)
return "NULL";
But this seems like too much work. Also this logic would need to be duplicated in existing non-trivial converters..
Is there a quick-hit way to accomplish this?

Optima Beverage Tub 498 556
Julie M. Morris I have found all my purchases to be of very high quality, but I get confused over some of the e-mails I get that say you are offering 30% off certain items. Whenever I try to place an order, it will never let me get 30% off. I would appreciate your making this easier to use and understand. I want to purchase your ice maker, but it wouldn't let me have the discount. Can you notify me when it goes on sale? January 12, 2015
Beautiful beverage cooler We ordered this beautiful cooler and it is perfect. It can hold 3-4 bottles of wine easily. Durable and stylish January 12, 2015
This tub solves the "sweat" problem We use this on a teak table in the outdoor kitchen. No water stains from a sweating ice bucket any more., Very attractive also. January 8, 2015
Tub good for parties, no sweat! We got this tub and used it for a party within a week. It's sturdy and good looking. We got the larger tub and used it to chill wine. It worked well and didn't sweat at all. January 7, 2015
Beverage Tub Larger than anticipated, but perfect design and size when serving beer and wine. January 6, 2015
Perfect Party Drink Holder We already have one of these and found that a second was needed for the various beverages we offer at group gatherings. It holds a party's worth of drinks, is light enough to carry (empty), and is attractive for any sort of event. This one stores inside of the other one we have and is attractive enough to be displayed when not in use! January 6, 2015
Great Big! The Beverage Tub is great! It is much bigger than I thought it would be, but that is great because we can fit many bottles of wine, champagne,etc. It looks great in my bar, and will look great in the cabana this summer! January 6, 2015
Best Beverage Chiller I love, love, love the beverage chiller. I have two friends who own them as well. We do a lot of entertaining and the chiller serves us well. Big enough to hold a number of different beverages and guest just help themselves. January 5, 2015
Optima Products We have the 21" beverage tub, the ice bucket and 2, 3 gallon beverage dispensers. All are nicely sized for parties of 15-20. The double walled construction of these both eliminates condensation- even in the hottest weather- and insulates and preserves the ice well. Ice left in the dispensers or ice bucket is still in remarkably good condition even the next mornings! The stainless steel is tremendously easy to care for and the appearance garners a lot of attention and inquiries. You'll be pleased with these products! January 1, 2015
Beverage Tub I purchased the beverage tub as a Christmas gift. They loved the gift and started using the tub immediately. It went well with the decoration in their bar area. Would buy the same beverage tub again. December 30, 2014
Ice bucket Looks as advertised, keeps ice for 12 hours. Like it a lot. December 26, 2014
Great complimentary piece Great looking and very sturdy to hold large full ice tub. The tub and stand look great together. December 20, 2014
Big & Beautiful! Love the beverage tub. Perfect size for the holidays December 12, 2014
Love this! We love this beverage tub. It's attractive and large enough to hold several bottles/cans at one time. December 11, 2014
GREAT QUALITY/PRICED BEVERAGE TUB AS ALWAYS, I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE. WE HAVE GIVEN THIS TUB TO MANY OTHERS AS GIFTS AND THEY LOVE THEM. SO, WHEN I SAW THEY WERE ON SALE, I DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR US TO OWN ONE OURSELVES. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT. THE NO CONDENSATION FEATURE IS SUPER. GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE MONEY. THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS, FOR SUCH GREAT QUALITY PRODUCTS. December 4, 2014
Excellent quality Own them both. a real plus for any party presentation. No sweating, love the quality. November 24, 2014
Great purchase I have used beverage tubs in the past and they sweated all over anything I put them on. This was wonderful...no sweating and ice stayed for the length of the party, and beyond. November 7, 2014
Extraordinary First Purchase I Purchased the Beverage tub, stand, ice scoop and bottle opener. It made quite a statement on its first day of use. We received so many compliments and many of our guest inquired where we bought it. It withstood the California heat wave and tub kept the drinks nice and cold. The tub remained beautiful though out the party without any condensation on the outside of the tub or stand. Lived up to expectations. Very well made. November 4, 2014
Optima Ice Beverage Tub!!! Excellent! I loved receiving this ice bucket!! It is FANTASTIC!--- It's just the thing for larger parties. Everyone MUST have one... It will come in so handy. It is so beautiful with it's silver outside, and it holds a ton of bottles, coke cans, water bottles or anything you may want to keep cold...... Great product! Love it! October 24, 2014
Exceeds expectations! I have purchased multiple Optima beverage tubs and ice buckets and am very happy with my purchases. The quality far exceeded my expectations! They are functional and a lovely addition to party decor as I have used them for both champagne bar and outdoor cookout. I have also given them as wedding , birthday, and Christmas gifts. You will not be disappointed! October 18, 2014
Optima Beverage Tub Exactly as advertised. Excellent product - does not sweat, beautiful. I am very pleased and recommend. September 9, 2014
Excellent quality!! Love this beverage tub. Wish I had bought it sooner! The large size is a little too large to have on the kitchen counter or bar, but I think will be great with the beverage stand (next purchase)! Love the quality and absolutely no condensation. September 8, 2014
This was a great purchase This beverage tub is wonderful. It was everything I hoped it would be. It keeps the ice cold for many hours and hold plenty of beverages. Very well made and a very nice quality. September 3, 2014
Beverage beautiful... This tub is beautifully finished, a perfect size and just what I expected according to the brochure description. It is a fine quality product which will be proudly used and enjoyed for many years. I can thoroughly recommend it. September 3, 2014
Beverage Tub Beautiful...better than any other tub I have seen in the outlet stores. Well made. Worth the monies. September 3, 2014
Perfect Gift We purchased the beverage tub with matching table as a housewarming gift for dear friends. They absolutely loved it. The quality and packaging was superior and it was easy to assemble. September 2, 2014
Wonderful Gift We purchased this tub along with the bucket and ice shovel to gift very good friends of ours who moved out of state. We timed the purchase and it's delivery to coincide with our first visit to them . . . which worked perfectly thanks to Frontgate's always reliable service. Our friends were absolutely thrilled with our gift for its great good looks and utility! Gifting people who are active seniors and, frankly speaking, have everything they need and/or want is really quite a challenge. However, this gift trio was really appreciated by BOTH husband and wife . . . which further delighted us. btw: We chose the smaller of the two tubs for greater ease to carry/move. It was a good decision and the tub is still plenty generous in size. September 1, 2014
just what I've been looking for! This so much nicer than having the ice chest on the porch that I have been using during an especially large party every September when the weather can be questionable. Just to be able to have this nice looking tub inside and not be worrying about "sweating" on my counters is a great relief. And everyone who sees it wants to borrow it for their next event. August 14, 2014
Beautiful! Beautiful! I use them for ice tubs as well as beverage tubs, they look very elegant and I have not had a problem with them sweating on the tablecloth. They are on rubber feet that hold them just high enough. August 14, 2014
Optima Stand Nice substantial stand, very complementary to the two tone Optima Beverage Tub we had acquired prior. July 28, 2014

Grandiflora roses are a cross between floribunda and hybrid tea roses. Grandifloras typically have long stems with clusters of flowers on the top. A grandiflora rose bush will usually range between 4 and 6 feet tall. The blooms on a grandiflora rose are traditionally used in cut flower arrangements. Grandiflora roses are ideal for cutting, and garden display. They are consistent rebloomers, grow to various shapes and heights, and come in a wide range of colors. For the most part, Grandifloras are generally hardier than hybrid teas and suffer less from winter kill. It is ideal as a background or border planting and they are also excellent as a solo specimen in a prominent location. They are well suited in mixed plantings when combined with hybrid teas, floribundas, and shrub roses.
