Brain Machine Building Workshop
Let's make something!
This fun workshop is for everyone: total beginners (even if you've never built anything, ever), as well as people skilled in the art.
The Brain Machine blinks light and pulses sound at a pre-programmed sequence of brainwave frequencies -- in this case, a meditation sequence. If you use the Brain Machine, your brain synchronizes to the meditation sequence, and you experience it! And a nice bonus is that you hallucinate beautiful colors and patterns from your subconscious mind. Sound cool? Most people agree!
I originally wrote up the Brain Machine as a DIY project for MAKE Magazine #10 in May-07. (Here's a video.) Since then several hundred people have taken the workshops I've given at Maker Faires, hacker conferences, and friends' places. Everyone has successfully completed their Brain Machines. You can too.
By building one of these you will learn how to:
- Solder like a pro
- Program an Atmel Micro
- hack microcontrollers
- Make LEDs blink
- Attain Zen-like states in under 7 minutes
All tools and parts are provided. Parts cost me $20, and I ask that people pay me for the parts.
Date and Place yet to be determined -- will announce.
Please add your name below if you are interested in doing the workshop (no committment implied:
- Mitch Altman
- Jacob Appelbaum
- Audrey Penven

Yes, this term is car business slang for large profit on a deal. However, it is more specific to the amount in thousands is equal to the "weight in pounds". Thus, if the salesperson made a $2,000 profit it would be a "2 pounder".
Dude, we were six grand back of book in that car and I only made a 2 pounder!!!

These shoes are comfortable and stylish. Very lightweight for a leather shoe. The "lacing" system is a breeze to use. I had the material project Ms, but they got way too dirty and they wouldn't clean up. These clean up great and are almost as light. My favorite shoes. They look nice with shorts and pants.

About the Manufacturer
In a dorm room at the University of Oklahoma in 1969, Ahmad Momeni, the oldest son of "Haji" Ali Akbar Momeni, told his father that people often spoke about the beautiful rugs that came from Persia. Two months after that call, two large bales of Persian Rugs were delivered to a bewildered Ahmad at his dormitory. When he called his father to ask why they were sent, Haji Momeni replied, "Because people want them, so sell them", and Ahmad began to sell them to professors, and around campus. He eventually took his show on the road and drove throughout the country selling these rugs. Soon his father joined him and they opened a small retail store in Austin, Texas, selling one-of-a-kind Persian rugs.
In 1975, father and son moved to NY and formed Momeni, Inc., a fine Oriental rug importer. Momeni, Inc. continues to sell beautiful one-of-a-kind product, but has since expanded into a leading manufacturer and importer of rugs worldwide. Momeni presently has over 50 programmed rug lines, encompassing designs from traditional to contemporary, in qualities of hand-tufted, knotted, hooked, loomed and even machine made.
For thirty years the Momeni name has become synonymous with great quality, cutting-edge designs, and warm, friendly service. The rug industry has changed since Momeni first started, but Haji Momeni's philosophy of "make good quality rugs that people like" has remained the cornerstone of the Momeni success story. This philosophy is now carried on by the next generation of Momeni--Reza, Aria, and Ali, Hajji's other three sons.

The Slump and the Jolt
I don't know whether Jupiter has collided with Mars a bit too heavily, or the Moon couldn't find the Seventh House and went to the corner bar instead, or what. All I can tell you is every time I've picked up my needles lately, something stupid has happened.
Take the second Mother Earth sock. It's nothing remarkable, just another garter rib out of Sensational Knitted Socks–the sixth such I've made. I'm working it on two circulars and haven't had to pull the book out, because at this point the pattern has burrowed its way into my skull. This makes it all the more puzzling that I knit blithely down the leg, zipped through the heel flap, and then neatly and flawlessly picked up stitches for the gusset without turning the fricking heel first.
One of my other assignments is a piece of mystery knitting, courtesy of She Who Cohabits with the Black Bunny. I received by a post a nice parcel of her yarn, gorgeous as always, with a note instructing me to pick a stitch pattern, knit a square, and return it to her with no questions asked "or the mouthy sheep gets it."
You would think such a simple, straightfoward task is well within my grasp, no? She's basically asking for a washcloth, albeit in yarn you'd never want to touch a dirty dish. So why, darlings, why, have I had to rip back twice after inadvertently creating an amoeba and a trapezoid?
I'm hoping the deep freeze (which may, just may, be ending) has caused some lever in my brain to become stuck temporarily in the "off" position, and with any luck the onset of spring will unstick it. If not, I'm afraid my niecephew is going to be christened in a shawl that looks like it was knit in the dark, on a moor, during a windstorm, by one of the hounds of the Baskervilles.
On the Other Hand...
It was not a weekend without high notes.
First, in tandem with a good buddy I produced a chocolate soufflé (the first for both of us) with crème chantilly that, were it human, would be husband material. We shoveled it down with cries of delight, then felt rather sick, then realized what we'd just eaten was intended to serve eight.
It was still worth it.
And then my brain got a much-needed jolt of creative energy when Leigh Witchel parachuted into town and whisked me over to the Auditorium Theater to see what the Joffrey Ballet is up to.
I will admit that I'm not entirely in my element watching dance. I come to it with no more than layman's knowledge. I don't know Who is Who as I do in opera, so I can't keep score. I always enjoy myself, but with limited pocket money for tickets, opera wins. I only make it to the ballet when sponsored by a Generous Benefactor. Thanks to Leigh, I'm considering whether I ought to revisit that policy.
The Joffrey presented a triple bill under the title of Destiny's Dances. The first piece, Les Présages, is a period piece–an allegory (with appearances by Fate, Frivolity, Energy, et al) choreographed by Massine to music by Tchaikovsky. It wasn't engaging emotionally; few of the dancers seemed to buy into such drama as there was. So it came across as a series of extremely pretty late-deco café murals come to life. Me, I loved it. Chiffon, bouncy music, and symbolic characters striking portentous "Ode on a Grecian Urn" postures? Yes, please. And I'll have seconds.
The second piece was Balanchine's Apollo. I have a feeling this production won't be hailed by the cognoscenti as an immortal interpretation, but it was charming. And the fellow who danced the title role has what my late grandfather would have referred to as An Ass That Won't Quit. I was also deeply amused by Calliope. She was...qu'est-que c'est le mot juste...animated. So animated that from our seats in the fifth row she came across as both cross-eyed and insane. If Ricky Ricardo decided to do a Balanchine night at the Tropicana, and Lucy secretly locked the prima ballerina in a closet and took over the part herself, this is how she would have looked.
They wrapped up with The Green Table, an anti-war period piece. At first, it worried me. After a stunning opening involving grotesque diplomats dueling around a (surprise) green table, suddenly there were Weeping Women and Grim Soldiers and I thought...ugh. I'm a devoted peacenik, but it seemed a bit ham-fisted. I won't summarize what came after–I'll just tell you that within five minutes, I'd changed my tune. By the curtain call, I was damn near devastated.
Between the performance and the opportunity to Talk Knitting with Leigh, I'm feeling re-energized about picking up my needles and getting some real work done. So thank you, Leigh. If I manage to produce a square with four even sides that meet at right angles, I'm totally going to dedicate it to you.

You know I know next to nothing about ballet, but this post reminded me of a certain performance we got to see at the Wang--remember seeing Romeo and Juliet? I still get misty when I hear that music--I play it for my students--and when I remember Lady Capulet whipping out that knife over the slain Tybalt! I also will not forget stuffing my purse with toilet paper during the intermission. It had not occurred to me until that moment that ballet could bring me to tears (in a good way), and I knew what was coming in the second half. I remember wondering if I'd have to be carried out in a swoon after the final scene, or if at the very least I'd make a nuisance of myself with my sobs. While I still know next to nothing about ballet, I certainly have a profound respect for it. One of my fondest memories, and it comes courtesy of my marvelous brother. Not surprising!

(delurking) I hadn't thought about the Green Table for a long time - not since I took dance classes in college. It's interesting to hear other reactions to it.

I think several of us are in a knitting slump.
On Friday, just as I'd finished a *large* square of Shetland lace I put the piece down and saw a rather obvious mistake that I'd not previously noticed. It was about an inch above the cast-on edge, or about 15 inches below where I'd left off. Much kabuki followed. - 3:49 PM

Maybe the knit-fu was just whisked away by the below 0 wind chill.
I am also in the chicago area, and I have felt like my usually nimble fingers are betraying me. I Re-knit the heel turn of a sock 6 times friday night before I did it successfully. - 4:08 PM

I don't get to see much ballet, but did see quite a bit when I was in Russia some years ago. The highlight was the Nutcracker performed by the Kremlin Ballet. The low was the very strange ballet we saw in St. Petersburg. The prima ballerina was *thunking* when she landed. Like a basket of bricks hitting the floor. We started taking bets 1/2 way thru on whether she was going to fall thru the stage. Apparently she was supposed to be jumping like a construction worker... very strange.
Hope your knitting mojo comes back soon... - 4:39 PM

Every now and then, when we get too uppity, our knitting likes to kick our asses in line. Don't worry about it.
Sometime in about my 25th year of knitting socks, I knit an entire pair, and didn't realize till I went to put them on, that I done the decrease for the gusset across the instep. I still can't figure out how I managed to shape the toes.

I did the same thing you did on a second sock once - the entire experience bugged me so much that once I ripped back, reknit and finished the sock - I sent it to Afghans for Afghans. Spring is coming. Hold on.
- Carol said...
Well, if we're telling sock stories, in addition to having done the same thing you did, I have also finished grafting a toe, only to find that my stitches were divided in half on the two circulars the other way, such that the grafted toe seam runs at a right angle to the ground.
- Cindy said...
Hi, Franklin. I don't have any sock stories, and I'm sorry to be stalking you, but I sent you an email about commissioning your work last week. If it didn't get through, would you contact me (if you click on my name, my blogger account allows you to email me), thanks!
- =Tamar said...
Hey, I've grafted vertical toe seams on purpose. They still fit.
But seriously, Mercury is retrograde. A friend has spent the last two days trying to leave town; things keep happening to keep her here. It's time to read, contemplate, be an audience. - 7:35 PM
- marjorie said...
Yes, I've done it too--completely forgot to turn the heel. Swore a lot, ripped it back and fixed the mistake. I've never been able to abide opera, in spite of my mother's best efforts to convert me. I'm over 50 and still don't enjoy being screamed at by an operatic soprano.
- Mel said...
Just remember, unless you're Lily Chin, nobody gives a damn how fast you crank it out. So if a bit of tinking and frogging has to happen, you're still pretty much par for the course.
Now about that chocolate soufflé.... - 7:45 PM
- Catherine said...
I've been knitting socks for years, and I frequently forget that pesky little heel turn. It's the price we pay for having gotten beyond the point of having to check the pattern for every round. Welcome to the club.
- Lisa said...
Ahhh, Apollo, took me back to fond memories of my PR internship with the Pittsburgh Ballet. I would have given anything to see Lucy dance Calliope! Oh yeah and I used to live for pay day and all those perfect sets of buns in tights sitting on my desk...sigh...drool...
- AnnaMarie said...
Well, if you knit another funky square there's always SEVERE blocking. Use handcuffs.
- Yvonne said...
Well, Franklin, I hear that Mercury is in retrograde. At least, that's what my friend said last Tuesday night as we *all* managed to screw up our lace knitting into unrecognizable mutated tangles. As for the ballet - wish I had been there, too. I gave up my season tickets when we moved away from Seattle. Sigh.
- April said...
Yeah, Mercury is in retrograde. Well at least it's not conjunct with Uranus. Thank you very much, I'll be here all week.
I always, ALWAYS, pick up the gusset stitches before turning the heel. How many pairs of socks have I knit? Oh, a dozen or so. - 12:32 AM

I had as marvelous a time as you did; thank you for accepting my invitation. I'm working on my review; it will be in Ballet Review (I'll send you a sneak preview so you can see if our perceptions gibed.)
You know, Boston Ballet's R&J was the first live performance of ballet I ever saw, in 1981. I had been studying ballet for two years but hadn't ever seen a a real performance.
See you in April! - 1:19 AM

You write humorously and entertainingly. I check you and Brooklyn Tweed daily to read your knitting ruminations. You give this novice knitter inspiration.
Thanks. - 2:05 AM

Franklin, I have found that I simply cannot knit while ill. I was working on the We Call Them Pirates hat and was decreasing to the end when I noticed that it didnt look right. I ripped it out, tried it again. Still not right. Finally, I realized I had completely read the very basic graph wrong. Moral: no more knitting while flying with cough syrup.
Of course this isnt as bad as my having a brain f**t one night and not remebering how to turn a heel. I thought I was having a stroke, literally.
We all have our moments I guess. C'est la vie. - 2:38 AM
- ElbowGrease said...
Good morning, Franklin. There's definitely bad juju in the knitting universe this last week. I won't enumerate my own debacles (see my latest post on elbowgrease.typepad.com), but I will say that reading your post reassured me that it's not just menopausal mind melt that has my 35 years of knitting experience feeling like so much OCD with sticks. (NIMH says this about OCD: "People with OCD may be plagued by persistent, unwelcome thoughts or images, or by the urgent need to engage in certain rituals." Ring a bell?
- BrooklynMom said...
The sock error? Yup, been there!

There is some kind of knitting hex in the air - I did the exact same thing yesterday, as if I hadn't made enough socks to do this in my sleep.... At least I didn't get more than two rows before I came to my senses....

Don't know if it's Mercury being retrograde of just February blahs, but knitting mistakes seem to proliferate this time of year.
Case in point: this weekend, I managed to sew a cardigan front to the wrong shoulder of the back, not once but twice. Sigh. - 11:42 AM

I did the same thing to my second Feather and Fan sock! Too funny (ok, no it wasn't funny at the time...)
And Ballet? (sigh) I studied for years, would have been a Prima Ballerina (if wishes were horses) and came to OPERA late! So glad you're revisiting ballet - I had to be coerced by working for an opera company to fall in love with it! They are both life-long loves, now...

my husband got a bonus pair of socks I really couldn't afford to be his during the flurry of christmas knitting, when I closed the toe and weaved in the edges of the second sock (gift socks!) and sat back to admire them, and realized I'd 1x1 ribbed the cuff of the first one and 2x2 ribbed the cuff of the second..
there really just was no way I was going to frog back either one of those socks, they were finished and otherwise.. as perfect as I can get.. and also no way I was going to gift them to someone since they weren't..but really, who's going to ever even notice, but me.. eh.. my husband was glad to have 'em so it worked out.. but I had to step up the knitting a bit to get all the socks finished by my mail-by dates, since I was suddenly a pair behind schedule!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you knit for that new baby coming... my sister just got engaged over the weekend which means I'm officially expecting a future great-step-grand-neice or nephew in september.. eh.. it's complicated but I'm so jazzed that there's a baby I can knit for! but.. what to knit... I really am only good at socks and dishrags.. - 7:59 PM

Ballet, knitting, opera -- I can't believe no one has commented on the really improtant thing -- the souffle! When I was in the ninth grade, a friend and I did the exact same thing: We made a chocolate souffle with Chantilly cream for 8, and ate the whole thing. It was perfect, even the queasy feeling afterward.
- Anna-Liza said...
Well, the Asses that Won't Quit are a big part of the draw to ballet for most het women I know.
I'm glad to be warned about the universal knitting funk--I've started a work-related knitting group that meets for only the second time tomorrow, so I won't attempt anything too complicated. Only stuff I don't mind frogging! - 1:34 PM

I wish I had a niecephew. That sounds neat.
You would have had to call the paramedics if I attempted to consume a dessert that served eight.
I haven't seen dance in ages. I miss those buns..I mean the culture terribly. - 4:41 PM
- Anna said...
I did the exact same thing you did with the picking up of gusset stitches without turning the damn heel. Luckily for me, it's just for some tiny baby socks I made, and although I hate that kind of mistake, I've decided to let it go. The kid's gonna grow out of 'em in a week and probably never catch the mistake.
Famous last words. - 5:38 PM

I wandered in, lost and confused, to a performance of The Green Table (about 100 years ago, it seems). Holy CRAP! It blew me away, and at the time I saw it there was no US led invasion of random countries going on. I'm glad you liked it, too!

Naturally fermented red wine is patiently fermented again into vinegar. A traditional health food containing 'mother' of vinegar, a quality indicator that may appear as cloudiness. Raw and unpasteurized. Rich color, fruity bouquet, and smooth flavor. Amber glass protected. 5% acidity. No additives or sulfating agents.
Eden Red Wine Vinegar is made with patience. After the primary fermentation changing grapes into wine, a secondary fermentation uses oxygen to activate the acetobacter present in wine that changes the alcohol into acetic acid. This natural process takes about 100 hours until the acidity is at five percent. We never speed up fermentation with additives and never add sulfating agents. When fermentation is completed the vinegar is bottled in amber glass to protect its flavor and nutritional integrity. Perfect for salad dressings, marinades and for pickling.
Eden Red Wine Vinegar contains 'mother' of vinegar, appearing as cloudiness in the final product. Its presence indicates raw unpasteurized vinegar, a traditional healthy food. Mother is actually cellulose produced by the harmless vinegar bacteria. Most manufacturers pasteurize vinegar to prevent these bacteria from forming mother while sitting on the grocery store shelf. This needless cosmetic practice kills the bacteria and denatures vinegar's health qualities.
'Vinaigre' in French means sour wine, reflecting the ancient discovery that a cask of wine gone past its time had turned to a wonderful new product. Vinegar has provided good health and zest to people for over 7,000 years.
Most commercial vinegars are highly denatured through the use of extreme heat and chemical solvents. Most wine vinegar contains sulfating agents. They are formulated rather than fermented and are not fit for human consumption although they make a fine window cleaner. For the flavor and benefit of true vinegar choose Eden.
Eden Red Wine Vinegar is excellent for making dressings, sauces, and in salsas. Try in Quinoa Salsa Salad in the recipe section of this site.

Central Clackistan to Troutdale
Thats my commute Say 224 and Lake to Tdale airport. I have tried a few ways and each has its limits:
205 path to Marine Drive- Stark, Washington and Glisan. Especially Glisan. Also some long ass hills. Takes my tired middle aged butt 2 hours. Also people smoking on the bike path at the MAX stations... Great make me want a smoke and slow me down. Also can be a real PITA if the wind on the river is against you. 205/Springwater/185th People in Gresham not so bike friendly. Shorter but heavy traffic. It takes me 1:40 but the constant fear of death makes it seem longer. I am tempted to take Marine Dr to Interstate down to Elsplanade to Springwater but thats more of a tour than a commute- many miles out of my way. I guess I should add that I am doing this in the dark both ways right now. Not everyday for sure but is there some way I havent thought of that is more user friendly? Times are on my cycle cross bike- seems like best speed I get on that thing over distance is 13-14MPH. Road bike I can get 16-19 depending on my mood but I need the XC bike at work for its loading capacity. |
Just for fun I checked Google Maps recommendation, and they want you to take SE Lake to SE Harmony to SE Linwood north to the Springwater path. Head east on Springwater corridor, then North on Pleasant View Drive to the Fairview path, and east on NE Halsey. Have you tried that? Don't know that area all that well (especially at night!), but it seems worth a try.
best route?
i think Ron's got it sussed - I'd go I-205 path to Springwater to Gresham-Fairview trail to Halsey bike lanes to Troutdale. I'm sure you've got a good bright front light or 2, because it's dark out on the trails!
Here's the Gresham bike map link in case you need it: http://greshamoregon.gov/live/gettin...e.aspx?id=3118 |
Like staring at the face of the sun bright :cool:
Some other parts of the commute- that roundabout one way by I84 exit 17 if a nightmare. I started taking Marine Dr to avoid it, but yeah looking at the map and seeing the Gresham fairview trail I get it. Wish those filler sections were all built. I usually head up Harmony to Fuller to Causey on my way out to avoid the mall traffic. Usually on the way back I head down Sunnyside on the bike path which is great till it just vanished at 82nd, and then down harmony to Lake. The hard part is the left turn onto Lake- traffic is going faster than I can bike downhill (and to be honest I am pretty beat at that point) but the left turn lane is about 5 minutes faster than using the crosswalk at the intersection (plus you get some inertia for the next hill/left turn ahead) so I usually squeeze over towards the bottom of the hill and slide over. Clackistan is bipolar- people are super nice in some places, super jerks in others, and most of the though streets have relatively high average speeds (35MPH) which makes every left turn a challenge. Many of the roads around here have zero shoulders and people drive pretty fast (Rusk, Aldercrest) . My wife says "all those signs say 'stop Portland Creep, but you are already here.":D |
So thanks all your advice worked great 17.55 miles makes this the shortest route and only took me one and a half hours even with a heavy ass backpack of work gear.
Oh and taking spring water I go down to Linwood down to Lake. I wouldn't want to climb that hill but it sure is fun to go down!
All times are GMT -8. The time now is 05:07 AM. |

Waiting on wife's call, Eovaldi set to face Pirates
Expecting first child, righty's starting plans vs. Locke could change
Marlins right-hander Nathan Eovaldi will have more than the Pirates on his mind as he enters his start Friday night at Marlins Park.
Eovaldi's wife is expecting the couple's first child any day, and the righty plans to head to Texas if the baby is on the way -- even if he is on the mound when she goes into labor.
"Chuck said once I get the call, I'm coming out of the game," Eovaldi said, referring to Marlins pitching coach Chuck Hernandez.
"We're not sure when we're having the baby. If it doesn't happen any day now, it will happen Sunday. I'd probably come to the field and throw a bullpen [session] on Sunday and leave after that, and be back Wednesday."
Eovaldi has pitched well in his last two outings, in which he has allowed five runs in 15 2/3 innings. Marlins pitchers have kept them in the National League East, despite the loss of ace Jose Fernandez to season-ending Tommy John surgery.
"I feel like guys have just continued to get better," Evoaldi said. "We're going deeper in ballgames and giving ourselves better chances to win. The bullpen has been throwing a lot better as well. We've just been playing very good baseball lately."
The Pirates are hoping the promotion of rookie Gregory Polanco can provide a spark, even as they deal with injury issues.
Starters Gerrit Cole and Francisco Liriano both landed on the disabled list, and second baseman Neil Walker had an appendectomy Monday.
Pittsburgh will send left-hander Jeff Locke to the mound for his third start of the year on Friday. He is 0-1 with a 5.11 ERA.
Pirates: Sunday's starter still unclear
The Pirates placed left-hander Francisco Liriano on the disabled list Wednesday with a left oblique strain, making him the second starter the Pirates have lost to the DL this week (Gerrit Cole, shoulder fatigue).
Liriano was scheduled to start Sunday in Miami, and it is unclear who will replace him in the rotation. Manager Clint Hurdle had no update on Thursday afternoon. However, right-handed reliever Casey Sadler, who was a potential candidate to get the nod, was sent to Triple-A in order to make room on the 25-man roster for utility infielder Michael Martinez.
Liriano left Tuesday's game in the fourth inning after feeling discomfort in his left side. This DL stint marks the sixth in the 30-year-old's career, although his first with an oblique issue. Liriano is 1-6 with a 4.60 ERA in 14 starts this season.
Marlins: Jones faces former team
Miami's Garrett Jones will get to meet up with some old friends when the Pirates are in town this weekend.
Jones played for the Bucs from 2009 through last season. A year ago, the left-handed-hitting first baseman was used in platoon situations. He rarely played against lefty starting pitchers. In 403 at-bats, he belted 15 homers and drove in 51 runs.
Now, the Marlins are giving Jones steady playing time no matter who is starting, and he has responded with 16 doubles, eight homers and 29 RBIs.
Jones, though, has sat on occasions against lefties, with either Ed Lucas or Jeff Baker filling in at first base, and that could be the case Friday against the southpaw Locke.
Worth noting
• The Marlins open a 10-game homestand on Friday.
• The Pirates have won seven of their last nine against Miami.
• Rafael Furcal, who has been on the disabled list all season, could be reinstated from the 60-day DL on Friday. The 36-year-old second baseman has been on the DL with a left hamstring strain and a strained right groin.
• Hurdle has accepted an invitation to serve on Cardinals manager Mike Matheny's NL coaching staff during the 2014 All-Star Game at Target Field on July 15.

The furniture on display is of the Renaissance Revival style, appropriate for a small-town family of the mid-nineteenth century. The cottage is accessible to persons with disabilities. The site hosts portions of a variety of locally sponsored events throughout the year.

My soul is built for comfort not for speed.
So it's no surprise I'm a rustic stew and roasted veggie gal at heart. I'm not entirely sorry to see the summer come to an end. The 100ºF days. The kitchen so hot you hesitate to ignite a single burner- never mind turn on the oven. Enough, already! Knowing the fall equinox is just around the corner is fine with me. I welcome the cooler evenings, the gentler sun.
Fall is eye candy gorgeous here in northern New Mexico- the perfect balance of honeyed sunlight and clear-as-a-bell cobalt skies, the quaking aspens and golden cottonwoods. The aroma of roasting green chiles. It's intoxicating.
And it's enough to brighten any comfort-food-loving mama's spirits. We get to turn our ovens back on again- and roast and bake to our heart's content.
Ironically- you remember irony, don't you?- the best protein for me now (once a vegetarian goddess) is animal sourced. At first I was resistant to include meat in my diet, clinging stubbornly to my life-long belief that the vegetable kingdom- along with some happy dancing-in-the-barnyard hens and generous brown-eyed moo cows and goats- could sustain me well. I was tickled pink to live for years on end (three decades) as an ovo-lacto vegetarian sometimes vegan.
But after my celiac diagnosis, and additional digestive revelations- not to mention, broken hip- it appears my karma has a wicked sense of humor.
Veganism? Dream on.
It just ain't gonna work. For the sake of my health and bones, I must officially join the ranks of the flexitarians. At least I'm not alone. The peace loving Dalai Lama himself discovered he failed to thrive on a strict vegetarian diet as well. So he eats animal protein every other day. He likes to say- with his signature twinkle- he is vegetarian for half the year. I decided if he could live with that, Bubela, who am I to argue?
Vegans and vegetarians- don't be blue- try my totally veggie Shepherd's Pie recipe- it's just as good.
Good Karma Meatloaf Pie Recipe
Leftover meatloaf- enough for two servings
1/2 cup roasted corn kernels- or baby peas
6-8 little grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup cooked carrot pieces
A splash of broth mixed with a touch of ketchup, to moisten
About two cups of cooked potatoes- or non-mayo potato salad (I used mashed gold potatoes with dill)
Sea Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Dill or parsley for the top
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Serves two.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

I have been sober for 4 years and I am in the process of looking for a new job. I have the opportunity for a second interview at a company that
I really want to work for. I was asked to fill out a background check and along with that I wrote a note to the potential employer that I had a dui
11 yrs ago. The dui involved an accident and no one was hurt (thank the Lord above). The dui listed says "dui and controlled substance". I have called my lawyer several times over the years and told him that I never used any controlled substance. He always told me that, "that's the way it was worded back then"....I found out yesterday (when I called an associate of my lawyer) that the "uncontolled substance" should NOT be on there and that it is wrong. He said he will try to get that wording off
the conviction but can't make any promises. This has continued to hurt me over and over. I have not heard from the potential employer and I believe my honesty has hurt me! I should have just let him run the background check and explain when asked. I just can't stand this anymore. I got my life back together and tried to use rigourous honesty, only to have been slapped in the face for it over and over. What can I do?
I feel so discouraged and down. This is the kind of stuff that makes you
say...'f it ' , and even think about drinking again. It's just not fair. I tried to do the right thing and be upfront and it has hurt me. I don't say anything and it hurts me when they find out. This is a white collar position and I just blew my chances because of my dui. Where do I go
from here??

You always twist my ear around to look at the back of my earring, to pinch the structure between your fat fingers, feel its girth, grind it into my occipital plate. It's sharp and I imagine you know that because every night you stab it with your fingerprint so why are you drilling a new hole in my head? I love you, you know, but this is a little impolite. I gave up my beloved hoop earrings with your sisters but neither of them assaulted me nightly with studs and each night I wonder, should this have been the night I just took them out? But sometimes a mama's job is not to let herself be stripped of too much sparkle, and anyway the lovely husband reports that when you get ahold of his unpunctured earlobes at bedtime, you chew on them.
Let's talk about ear etiquette, son. It's not best to peel back other people's ears and inspect behind them. It's not best to chew on them. I call flop.
You can never go to sleep without trying for at least one swan dive. You feign slumber, and just when I think you're asleep, crib-eligible, you bolt up uP UP AND OVer but I'm on to your tricks and I grab you, every time, by the ankles. It's not a rainbow, the armrest, and there's nothing over it. There's no reason for this. I always think of the lesson of those grates farmers place at the edge of fields. I guess cows see the negative space between the bars and don't know how to overcome it. They fear the emptiness and so they won't leave their fields. Cows aren't very smart, son, but they're doing better than you right now. You have to fear the negative space beneath you, just a little bit. We can't keep testing my ankle-catching reflexes like this. One day you're going to kiss that heat vent. Maybe you want to chew it like an earlobe.
You've just learned to wave "hi" and "bye" and you wave to the heat vent, but love, the vent doesn't care if you're coming or going. If vents could talk he'd say Boy! Take advantage of the gift of sleep. But vents don't talk, of course. I know this and the vent knows this, but every night you wave. Am I boring you? I'm not entertaining? I'm not talking because you're supposed to be sleeping.
