LocalHarvest Newsletter, August 27, 2010
Welcome back to the LocalHarvest newsletter.
The quality of food served in our nation's schools has been the focus of much attention recently, and if you have so much as walked through a school cafeteria in the last decade, you know why. Our kids deserve better. We at LocalHarvest have great admiration for those who are working to reform the complicated system that is our national school lunch program. A significant opportunity will come when the House takes up the Child Nutrition Act after their summer recess. The current school nutrition bill expires on September 30th, so stand by for an action-packed couple of weeks in late September. If you want updates, you can sign up with our friends at Slow Food USA who have been working hard on this.
There ends the overtly political part of this article. The remainder is devoted to another, perhaps even more difficult aspect of our children's nutrition: the food we feed them at home.
When I was a little kid, maybe five or six, my mother got religion about nutrition. One day the cupboard held Honeycomb cereal and Wonder Bread, and the next day we were eating Grapenuts and dense Russian black bread. As you might imagine, plenty of whining ensued. We still ate dessert and very occasional processed snacks, but by and large, the junk was gone and the garden was in. Nutrition was taken seriously. Mom took a lot of flak from all of us, but her response always was, "I feed you this way because I love you and I want what's best for you."
Kind of hard to argue with that.
Yet so often we parents take the easier route. We feed our kids a steady diet of mac and cheese and hot dogs, bananas and sugar and call it "kid food", as if the young of our species require soft, sweet, pasty food for survival. By and large, the culinary expectations of children in our society are ridiculously low. That could be chalked up to a cultural oddity if the consequences weren't so high. Research on the impact of daily nutrition on a child's ability to learn in school is unequivocal: kids must have real food to learn. And in this age of soaring obesity rates, the fact that eating habits picked up in childhood carry over to adulthood is a grave concern.
It's hard. We all know that in a media environment of merciless child-focused junk food marketing, parents' job is made even harder. For those of us who want to choose really high quality foods, the definitions and choices can be dizzying. I have a lot of compassion for families who are too busy, worn out, overscheduled, and unsupported to cook good food and model disciplined eating habits. But it's worth the effort. Kids aren't born knowing why adequate protein, vegetables, and whole grains are important. They need to be taught, and until they can make good choices for themselves, good choices must be made for them. I think Mom was right: it's what love requires.
Last year, my daughter's daycare was considering making some changes to its food plan. They invited input from parents, and I ended up writing a document with some suggestions for serving more nutrient-dense foods, getting kids to eat them, setting priorities, and budgeting for higher quality foods. It's by no means comprehensive or authoritative, but I offer a version of this document below in the hope that it may spark some conversation about how we as a nation, and as individuals, feed ourselves and our children. We love to hear from you.
As always, take good care and eat well,
Erin Barnett

Feeding Our Children Well
Changing a family's diet comes down to gradually serving more of what is
healthy, and less of what is not. Change happens more effectively when taken in
small steps. No one wants the kids (or the adults!) to freak out with too many
changes all at once. At the same time, it doesn't seem very helpful to kids
when adults make food choices based on what they think kids will eat, instead
of what's healthiest. My dietician friend tells me that it's the adults' job to
serve the best meals they can, and the kid's job to eat when she's hungry.
Sometimes it takes many exposures (like 8-15) before some kids will like a new
food. Hopefully, taking it slow, serving food that really does taste good, and
having some adventurous eaters in the group will help those who are a little

Camp Joy Tomato Basil Pasta
I guess most people have a food that defines summer. For me this tomato pasta
dish is it. I mean it is IT. The meal I wait for. All year long. The
dish that means summer is really, truly here. This is a little problematic
because where I live the tomatoes don't come on in any kind of serious
quantities until the end of August, and we could get snow in October. And it
could last until May. It would be so much better for my mental health if summer
began for me when, say, the first zucchini ripened in June. But one has only so
much control over these things, and my personal gastronomy is ruled by a simple
formula: tomatoes = summer. I suspect I'm in good company.

The hoopla over the Giants Super Bowl is starting to ebb away just a bit, and football fans are starting to already cast their eyes to the future... a future which starts at the NFL Combine in just two short weeks and continues through this spring's NFL Draft at Radio City Music Hall. Unlike the other professional team sports, the NFL has no minor league for development of prospects that may not be able to make the team roster, so the battle to be in peak performance and have the best possible pre-draft evaluation, is probably more important to aspiring NFL players than any other sport.
So in addition to the hours spent training with collegiate trainers, coaches and strength coaches, those aspiring pros are turning more and more to New Jersey, and the combined work of the TEST Academy and the Parisi Speed School. The partnership is a great example of a marriage of best practices by two brands working in similar but distinctive areas, who found a way to adapt and work together for the betterment of the consumer. In short, a rising tide lifts all ships.
Parisi Speed Schools offers a laser focus on the youth development market while TEST Sports focuses on the elite and Pro Sports Academies, so by working together they present an offering for an elite athlete that is probably second to none, and comparable if not better than other "elite-type" and well branded academies in other parts of the country. This past week, TEST held an Open House to launch a Parisi franchise within TEST's Martinsville location. Those in attendance included about 30 top NFL prospects who are currently training with TEST-Parisi for the NFL Combine, along with former NY Giants Scott Brunner and Eric Dorsey, now integral members of the TEST staff.
However what is more impressive to the casual fan are the sheer numbers the combined brand can offer up. While each had a stable of solid coaches on their own, the combined team made up of Prominent Performance Coaches, Super Bowl Champions, Pro Bowlers, NFL Coaches & Scouts, Medical Experts to NFL Stars, International Speed Consultants, and well-known Media Personalities make the TEST/Parisi program one that will draw even more attention, and with that the possibility of an improved elite roster of potential stars. TEST and Parisi have produced the fastest 40-yard-dash at 10 different positions, including the overall fastest man at the 2001, 2004, 2005 and 2006 NFL Combine; the 3rd fastest man at the 2002, 2004 and 2006 Combine and two athletes tied for second overall in 2011 (both weighing in at over 212 pounds).
Together, TEST/Parisi athletes have shattered six all-time Combine records in the 20 and 60 yard shuttles and the 3-cone drill and have won individual events at 10 different positions. These impressive results have helped 192 of the TEST/Parisi trained players get drafted over the past 10 years. Past clients of TEST and Parisi NFL Combine Training include Joe Flacco, Ray Rice, Patrick Peterson and Osi Umenyiora, a track record for the Jersey-based business run by Brian Martin and Kevin Dunn that shows quality and commitment to excellence.

Safety Net: On Thomas Bernhard and Siegfried Unseld
The relationship between Unseld and Bernhard spanned more than a quarter-century, from that first letter of October 22, 1961, to January 28, 1989, the day of their last meeting. The two always addressed each other in writing using their full names (and in Unseld's case, Bernhard frequently also added his title "Doktor"), and unlike many of Suhrkamp's other authors, including Max Frisch and Jürgen Habermas, Bernhard and Unseld never switched to the informal form of address (Du). It took Unseld more than a decade of renegotiated contracts and Bernhard's periodic tirades to fathom the extent to which their relationship would be forever fraught, and to understand why. Following a meeting with the writer in April 1973, Unseld concluded, "in Thomas Bernhard sensibility, sensitivity, and neurosis have reached a peak that will not be easy to confront in the long run…. For my part I have discovered, not without admiration, how Bernhard manages to neutralize his neurosis through writing and physical activity. The price for this is high, and we will have to pay part of it ourselves—literally."
Bernhard knew that he existed on a thin and arbitrary boundary between sanity and insanity. Comparing himself to his friend Paul Wittgenstein, who did several long stretches in a mental hospital, he wrote that Wittgenstein "has so to speak been overcome by his insanity; while I have taken advantage of and controlled mine." Bernhard also had a keen sense of Unseld's perception of his "neurosis" and sought to make the most of it. During a walk with his neighbor and friend, a pork wholesaler named Karl Ignaz Hennetmair, the writer confided, "With Unseld I have the freedom of a madman (Narrenfreiheit), I can do whatever I like."
And he did. For Unseld, the price of Bernhard's Narrenfreiheit was as often psychological as it was financial. He could be pitiless, as when he wrote to Unseld, "Sometimes lately I have doubted whether I even have a publisher, because it seems to me as though no one pays the least amount of attention to me." Bernhard was perpetually engaged in an anxious calculus to gauge the level and limits of his publisher's good will. On walks with Hennetmair, he complained that Unseld had not congratulated him on this or that prize, or analyzed at length what Unseld had given him for his birthday. He boasted to Hennetmair that he always spoke in a hickish Austrian dialect when visiting Suhrkamp's sleek Frankfurt headquarters, chasing lesser writers from Unseld's office and walking among the desks of the editors declaiming, "Schauts mir nur an, so schaut a aus, da Dichta" (the English equivalent: "Lookie heeya, y'all, heeya's what 'e looks like, duh poet"). During a meeting in Salzburg in July 1980, while Unseld was undergoing a fasting treatment, Bernhard insisted they go out to lunch, then ate slowly and with relish in front of his publisher, asking all the while: "How much do I mean to you? How much do I mean to the publishing house?" As Unseld engaged in an "orgy of sparkling water" and fed his author reassurances, Bernhard broke the news that he had just given the fourth part of his autobiography to the Austrian publisher Residenz, despite having earlier promised it to Suhrkamp.
In Unseld—whose large, bearlike face and famously broad, slightly hunched back were a good physiological match for his approach to life and business ("I take games very seriously because I want to win, but try to solve serious things in a playful way")—Bernhard's betrayals and reprimands hit a wide, soft mark. "I truly deserve more recognition than your constant rebukes, which I seem to attract from you, God knows why," Unseld wrote in July 1969. Yet the publisher rarely lost patience with Bernhard. It was not until November 24, 1988, on the eve of the writer's death, after learning that Bernhard had breached his contract yet again by giving yet another manuscript to Residenz, that Unseld finally broke down and sent him a telegram composed in starkly untelegraphic language: "for me a pain threshold has not only been reached, it has been surpassed. after everything that we have shared over the past decades, and especially in the last two years, you disavow me, the colleague who has been favorably disposed to you and been at work for you…i can't take it any more."
Despite the near catastrophic denouement of their correspondence, the relationship between the two men did have moments of genuine tenderness. Unseld and Bernhard enjoyed many long walks and swims together in and around Ohlsdorf. They met in Italy, Greece, Iran, Portugal, Spain and Belgium, sitting for long hours over meals and bottles of wine, and during those visits Bernhard was frequently in good spirits and on good terms with his publisher. "The farther one goes to meet him, the more closely he feels bound to publishing house and publisher," Unseld wrote following one of their meetings in Lisbon in February 1987. Three years earlier, on the occasion of Unseld's sixtieth birthday, Bernhard had written a tribute in which he recounted all the places he had met his "punctual and reliable" publisher (Trieste, Stuttgart, the ruins of Persepolis, Shiraz, the desert of Saccara, Tehran), and then related one incident after a diplomatic dinner in Cairo, when he and Unseld were in an elevator. A few feet before reaching the ground floor, its cable snapped and the cabin free-fell the remaining distance: "We shook the dust and mortar out of our hair and clothes and burst out laughing."
It was when Bernhard soared without a net and had occasion to gaze into the abyss that his tone softened. In October 1976, he boarded a London-bound flight in Vienna to attend the dress rehearsal of one of his plays at the National Theatre. Shortly after takeoff, there was an explosion in the plane's right engine, and the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing. Bernhard's next letter to Unseld was very nearly sentimental: "I report on a situation between two people who probably belong together for the long haul, in their own best interest and for their mutual pleasure." The publisher nonetheless had no illusions about Bernhard. After a particularly pleasant meeting in August 1981, Unseld wrote, "Naturally one should not be deceived by all the friendliness of today. Every line that Bernhard has written means more to him than the relationship to me. He is simply for all or nothing."

Unreal has announced that Unreal Engine 4.1, due to be released in the next couple of weeks, will fully support SteamOS and Linux. Developers can take their games — whether they're indie or triple-AAA titles — flip a switch, and voila: The game is packaged and ready to run on SteamOS and Linux. Suffice it to say, this could be a huge step towards making Linux a viable platform for gaming. Could 2014 finally be the year of desktop Linux (YODL)?

By open-sourcing this code, Valve is clearly encouraging developers to release OS X — and more importantly, SteamOS — ports of their Windows games.

Who actually develops Linux? The answer might surprise you February 3, 2014 at 11:00 am
If I tell you to think of an open-source project, the first word that probably comes to mind is Linux. Then, if I ask you what open-source actually means, you'd probably say something like: "Open source means everyone is free to use the code, and it's usually developed by lots of independent programmers, who contribute their work freely, to make the world/internet a better place." That's what I thought, too, until I read The Linux Foundation's annual report on the state of the Linux kernel. The report's findings may surprise you.

As mentioned before OSX is a brand name, with connections to uniX and nextX, they will simply move to 10.10, with more of a focus on the naming of the version after a cat or other animal, since leopard and even with some beginings in Tiger apple have moved more and more to refer to the versions by their cat code names rather than the version number.

10.10 ........ -siiiiigh-..... I remember back in the old days, X meant ****, and I was still rocking OS 7 on one machine, and OS 9 on another, then went PC. lol
Seriously, guys, OS 11, it won't hurt, it might actually be a good thing...
On an unrelated note.. ^Your upload and download has me jealous, damn it! lol^

If you ask me, Apple seems afraid to change. OS X.Next won't be very much different than "Maverick" turned out to be. They'll probably milk the "X" for as long as they can before the tech pundits cry out for change like they did with iOS.
APPLE is afraid of change? Wake up and smell the Haxwell Mouse coffee, Dot - a lot of IT is scared nearly unto death of change. Any major change in IT or tech is fought tooth and nail - look at how LITTLE Android has changed since the mere announcement of Android 4.0 (which was supposed the phone-oriented 2.x and tablet-oriented 3.x code branches into a common core). How do developers respond? By finding new and creative ways to write only for specific hardware types (despite that such is utterly verboten by no less than the TOS of the Google Play Store). That is why even Google is paying only lip service to that very clause of the TOS - all too many apps are NOT common to both phones and tablets. Then there is gaming - PC gaming in particular; if you write for even mainstream or midrange PC hardware (believe it or not, quad-core CPUs have been mainstream for almost half a decade), you get castigated for pushing the envelope too high; same thing applies to DX11 games - that is despite DX11 midrange GPUs being around almost as long as the quad-core CPUs I mentioned. All Apple is doing is basically "kissing up" to the cowardice - because, for them, it is profitable.
("Haxwell Mouse" is what it sounds like - a satirical coffee brand based on "Maxwell House" coffee; the brand appeared in WWII and postwar Warner Brothers and Vitaphone cartoons that were originally shown in theaters; nowadays, of course, you can see them on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. Like Chock Full O'Nuts - a regional coffee company that can be said to be an early ancestor of Starbucks - and actually had Jackie Robinson as an early spokeperson - they are still around today; like all the old "General Foods" brands that became part of Kraft Foods, they have moved from their old New York base - specifically, Tarrytown - to Northbrook, Illinois. )

09 December 2013 09:43 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Hanbang Petrochemical's 600,000 tonne/year purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant in China's Jiangsu province is currently shut for about 20 days of regular maintenance, a company source said on Monday.
The plant located in Jianyin City was taken off line on 6 December, the source said.
Hanbang Petrochemical is a joint venture company between China Chengxing Group and Hong Kong Hanbang Petrochemical.
Chengxing owns a downstream 200,000 tonne/year polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle chip plant in Jiangyin that was taken off line in late October, with no firm restart date.
Meanwhile, the company is currently building a 500,000 tonne/year PET bottle chip plant that is due for start-up in the second quarter of 2014.

The Nashua, N.H., School District was able to save more than $7.6 million over the past 10 years on natural gas, water and electricity by reducing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency, such as simply turning off the lights when leaving a room or immediately repairing water pipe leaks. The school district hired an energy manager to oversee the energy-saving program, which started in 2000 in partnership with Energy Education.

A Milan woman pleaded guilty Monday to two charges related to being "highly intoxicated" when she picked up her grandchild and two neighborhood children from school.
LeAnne L. Afong, 57, of 26 W. Church St., appeared Monday in Milan Mayor's Court.
She was fined $250 for physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and $150 for public intoxication, Milan Police Chief Bob Meister said. Afong also had her driver's license suspended for six months.
"She was given three days in jail, but she could do the DIP in lieu of that," Meister said, referring to the driver intervention program.
Afong's charges are for an incident at 2:50 p.m. Thursday at Edison Elementary School.
Principal David Hermes informed police "there was a lady attempting to pick up her grandkids who appeared to be highly intoxicated," according to Sgt. Patrick Fox's report.
"He (Hermes) also stated she has been waiting outside the school for around 45 minutes, which is pretty unusual especially since it's cold out," the officer wrote in his report.
When Fox walked Afong around the corner of the building to speak to her privately, the officer said Afong was "very unsteady on her feet" and took "very slow, deliberate steps." The woman, who said she was there to pick up her 8-year-old grandchild and two neighbors, ages 3 and 9, denied she'd been drinking, but said she'd been taking a medication she couldn't name.
"I observed her speech to be thick tongued and she was slurring her words. Her eyes also appeared to be glassy and a little red. I could also smell a faint odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from her breath when she spoke to me," Fox said in his report.
At the scene, Alfong's blood-alcohol content level tested at .191 percent, Meister said. That's more than twice the legal limit of .08 percent for drivers in Ohio.
"Officially, it was .183," Meister said.
"The kids were never in the car. We were able to intercept her with the assistance of the elementary (school) staff before she took custody of the children. They were released to a relative," the chief added.
Fox, when interacting with Afong at the scene, asked her to go inside the school because it was cold.
"She was very unsteady on her feet as she needed to hold onto something as she walked and twice while pulling out the chair and trying to sit down," the officer wrote.
"She admitted to driving to the school to get the kids as she also admitted to parking illegally in the handicapped parking space because she wasn't going to be long," Fox added.

Guerlain Coriolan
Thread: SotD Thursday 17th May
Woo, back online thank goodness!
I'm testing Ava Luxe Amber Essence today.
Guerlain Coriolan
"Perfume is the dream that carries me."
There is always the sky to look at
On line again! Great work, webmasters!
Have a great 17th May, all norwegian BN:s! :wave:
SotD: Trussardi Inside for Woman EdP. Sampling. Quite nice. The notes from osMoz are:
Top: Bergamot, Nut Leaf, Rose-Bay
Heart: Coffee, Freesia, Heliotrope
Base: Teak, Amber, Musk
I guess this is a gourmand. I like the coffee and the teak notes. The fragance don´t turn into caramell on my skin, as other gourmads easily do. I am a sweety-skinner, and everything becomes sweet on me, if it can.

I must be smelling like the Last of the Flower Power Children
Yeah, baby. The things we do for love

Bravo, BN web team for getting us back online!
Wearing my one and only layering creation today:
Annick Goutal's Le Chevrefeuille with The Thyme's Ginger Milk.
The light, sweet honeysuckle gets a nice zingy balance from the ginger, and the Ginger Milk's cucumber and vanilla notes blend the whole thing nicely on my skin. Love it in spring!

Its thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. Theyre confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin... When Wish whispers, Something is just around the corner, what comes or not is never what was wished for. When Hope whispers Something is just around the corner, something always is. -- Charlie Elberson
My sale thread has some of my underappreciated fragrances looking for a good, new home...
Jean Couturier Coriandre EdT. Nice to see everybody again and have a terrific Thursday!
Welcome back Basenotes - had me worried this morning!
I am finally sampling Angelique Encens. I've waited ages for this and thankfully I now have a decant thanks to Peppermint Patty. Lots of other beauties to try in the coming days/weeks.
Angelique Encens is lovely but I'm not sure if I'm in love with it. Sometimes it takes a while for perfumes to grow on me, and this is affection at first smell rather than all-out love.
A vial of SL's Un Lys had broken in the post, and the smell pervaded the whole package as you can imagine. The liquid had already dispappeared by the time I opened the package, but not before soaking eveyrything with pungeant fragrance. Consequently my room smells better than I do. If it smells as good as this on skin rather than just packaging, I need to send for more.
(Falls gasping into the arms of BN) Let's hear it for the Webmaster!! Was jonesing there for a while.
In a hurry with Caron's Parfum Sacre:
Top note : Lemon, Pepper, Mace, Cardamom
Middle note : Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, Rosewood
Base note : Vanilla, Myrrh, Civet, Cedarwood
I love Carons - they are so soignee - my still-in-training nose rarely picks out a single note. This beauty is no exception. Smooth dry down and excellent sillage.
Later ladies!!
"The world is ruled by letting things take their course. It cannot be ruled by interfering." Lao Tze
Hanae Mori's Magical Moon for me today. On such cold days, incense scents are warm and comforting.
Michael Storer's Genvieve
Official notes: (T) Damask rose, green tea, muguet, rhubarb, ambrette seed; (M) Bulgarian rose, raspberry, peach, ylang-ylang, mimosa absolute, jasmine absolute, violet leaf; (B) angelica root, tolu balsam, ambergris, musk, tonka bean absolute, sandalwood, civet.
Hmmm. Above all, I just get pepper, pepper and more pepper. ????
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
Big temperature drop today! Samsara for me. I ordered the EDP but was sent the EDT and since I'm just too lazy to send it back I asked for store credit.
BIG Thank you to the engineers and technies fixing this temporary blackout.
My friend finally handed over the Black Aoud from the Montale's Vendome shop last night. I treated him a nice dinner for that
Wearing Black Aoud today... it is amazing!
I was worried when was I saw the site down...so happy it is back up, whew!
Today, I'm getting together with friends for a lunch out and a walk through the Doris Duke estate.
I will be wearing MPG Soie Rouge
:wave:Great to be back on-line!:wave:
Wearing Sous le Vent today -- I really love the green opening of this one. It dries to a wonderfully refined leather.
I'm simplifying my life. For Sale Thread (some niche, some designer):
Whew! Back on line.
Testing again today with Femenite du Bois and Attrape Couer (Thanks again dimps) The AC is gorgeous. I just wish it was more readily available!

Nice to see you folks.
Musc Ravageur today- if I can't eat it, I'll WEAR it..
Or, maybe, I'll eat it AND wear it.
What the hell.
Carpe diem,. folks !
[Check your mailbox, Diva...goodies should be arriving SOON !]
Yay! I'm glad to see everyone.
I'm wearing Guerlain Vega today.
I'm mixing it up today. Molton Brown's Black Pepper body wash got me feeling peppery today. I applied some Palmer's cocoa butter, several spritzes of L'Artisan's Poivre Piquant, and two light spritzes of Saffron Troublant. My husband loves it!
And he whose soul is flat -- the sky

SotE: Aigner Black EdP by Etienne Aigner.
Haven´t found any notes. It is a german perfume, my first one. It is black, dry and with some sillage. It reminds me of Prada, but is more gentle, still has much more sillage compared to Prada Tendre. - Suitable for a cold eve of spring, IMO.
Not a single norwegian BN:s here today... Well, I guess they all are out celebrating their 17th May

I am testing out Santa Maria Novella Hay (Fieno), and it's interesting. It starts out with the scent of...dryness...and of green grass - like the description of hay. Now it is just mildly spicey and pleasant.
Sestra - sorry about the broken vial. I had two packages arrive this week with leaky vials, there must be a logical explanation - like goblins.
How good to see BN is back
Carrying on with my leather obsession, I am wearing Cuir Mauresque today. But I will continue testing my Neil Morris samples in the weekend!
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Sniffing around
I'll stop wearing black when they make something darker
D&G Sicily for me today.
"I don't know the key to success,
but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."

wearing chanel no. 18 today. it is said to have ambrette seed, but i don't know what that smells like. i have a cold, so i can't detect the notes very well. but it smells good? floral? lol. sorry to be so vague.
Seeking: woods patchouli fresh tuberose
My SotE is another divine discovery - Messe de Minuit. Where has this been all my life? Well, in an earlier life it was right there all along, and this is the first time (yes, really) that any perfume has reminded me of a childhood smell. I spent a long time with sensory deprivation then along came Catholic Benediction and incense. And here it is again, and to my profound surprise a memory is a welcome intruder. And even if that were not so, this perfume would still transport me to another time and place of the imagination, always much more important than mere memories. Messe de Minuit is glorious. I have read people saying that this is almost unwearable, and my response is - how can you NOT wear this?
Now I've been to the gym, come back and had a bath, I'm trying Ava Luxe Oude on one wrist and Kretek on the other. Kretek was a freebie. Oude I ordered simply to educate myself because I didn't know what oude smelled like. I can imagine it would be wonderful blended with something else, but I wouldn't wear it on its own.
Creative Scentualization Perfect Veil
Youth Dew Amber Nude arrived today Yumsters!
Glad to see us back online after a long day at work, it was hard not to tell anyone what I was wearing today (pant pant pant)
So anyway, today I wore Samsara on belly and forearms and Daim Blond on throat and shoulders and backs of knees.
It's so hard to spritz just one.

Local psychics on economics
NAPLES - Henry David Thoreau once said, "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."
As the economy sours, the search for truth seems to have changed the nature of questions fielded by local psychics.
"It's always been about relationships," says 17-year clairvoyant Barbara Wood, when asked about current quandaries. "Since the beginning, people have asked us about their love interests, whether they'd stay together or find someone new. Now, it's all about the future -- jobs, money and security. A lot of very good people want to know what's going to happen now, more than ever before, because they're afraid."
Wood says she tries to give callers insight as to why they're so fearful, help them face their fears and focus on what's important, in order to move through those issues.
"I've done readings for people in Ireland and the UK, where their economy is so much worse than ours. It seems to make people feel safer when they can talk about their situations," she says. "I tell them, 'Live for today; don't live in fear of what might happen. This won't last forever.'"
According to local financial columnist Gerry Kramer, the concept of asking a psychic for financial insight is just about as good as the advice from the experts.
"At least you know what you're getting when you talk to a psychic," he says. "Anyone who thinks the psychic's crystal ball provides less fortune telling accuracy than the gobbledygook derived from the analysis of financial consultants has not been paying attention. Just ask experts at the securities rating agencies what they were thinking when they gave all those toxic assets the highest safety (AAA) ratings."
Candice Strafford, another local psychic, says interest in financial questions began rapidly rising more than a year ago.
"I've always had people ask about careers and investments," she says. "Two years ago, it was normal for young people to ask about their careers. But there's a lot more stress around the financial side now and it crosses all spectrums of life, whether they're middle class or someone who owns three investment homes.
"People are asking if they'll lose their job, if they'll lose their house, where they should move or what changes they should make in order to have more abundance. It's not a bit different in California, in Pennsylvania or even in Canada. We're all in the same boat."
Strafford claims to have been psychic all her life but says the calling to make a career of it came through a series of life-changing events. She says the irony of helping so many others in need cope with the sluggish economy is that she works on donations.
"I didn't choose this; I have to do this," she says. "But I won't turn anyone away for the inability to pay. People are looking for hope; I made a commitment to service and did so happily."
Stafford added that while she doesn't see things loosening up in the next six months, the images she sees and phrases she hears shows improvement in the long run, and dictate some basic advice: "Seriously rethink your spending habits and simplify your daily routine to improve your quality of life."
Politics have also entered the mix recently, according to Janie Wilison at Psychic Mastermind.
"I received a lot more phone calls last month than usual, especially from the Naples area," she says. "They're asking about the economy and how good the president is going to be for the country. I honestly feel he will do something good for us. After all, he is a Leo, which means he was born a leader and he's left-handed. The last five presidents have been left-handed. That means they're either artistic, autistic or a good leader."

Swedish police denies playing 'Fast and Furious'
More News from Agence France-Presse
STOCKHOLM—Swedish police denied Monday that one of its cars had taken part in an illegal street race in a Stockholm suburb, as suggested by a mass-circulation daily providing what it said was video evidence.
In a short clip posted online by the Expressen newspaper, dated July 6 according to the man who recorded it, a police car is seen slowly approaching a grey car on a two-lane highway.
Spectators are crowding in the location known for its street races, as the two vehicles begin what appears to be a race.
The police car seems to be ahead but, according to a witness quoted by the paper, was driving slowly.
"A police car took part in an illegal street race," stated Expressen, quoting the driver of the grey car.
A police officer with the same unit as the driver of the car in the footage told AFP there was no way Stockholm police would be involved in a street race.
Rather, the police officers in the car had been on the scene to order the participants to stop, said the officer, Christian Agdur.
"They left because they were called to another case," he added.
Another police official, Gert Rosvall, indicated to Swedish news agency TT that an internal investigation would examine the case further.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
What would you get if they let Tim Burton create a sequel to the Game Boy cult classic Survival Kids? Probably something like Don't Starve. In this unique survival sandbox game, you play Wilson, a gentleman scientist trapped in a sinister and mysterious wilderness by the equally sinister and mysterious Maxwell.
Starting with a handful of basic blueprints, you must construct the tools you need to gather supplies like wood, stone, and food in order to survive. You'll eventually be able to do research and create new, better tools and helpful structures (like warm clothing to make it through cold weather, or a crock pot to cook more filling food). Be warned that there are ferocious creatures in the wilderness, and your sanity is slowly ticking away from the isolation, the darkness of night, and various other perils you'll encounter...
Survive long enough, and you'll be able to unlock new characters to play as, like adorable pyromaniac Willow, psychotic robot WX-78, and darkness-fearing strong man Wolfgang. Those who explore diligently may be able to enter Adventure Mode, and discover more about Wilson's bizarre situation.

The tradition of recognising budding artisans should continue: Governor
`Not many artisans are available to do metal-cast sculpting' Efforts are on to produce educational toys in lacquerware
Bangalore: "There are not many craftspersons doing this kind of work as it is a difficult job to do but I want to take this tradition forward," says N. Dakshinamurthy, a traditional silver and metal craftsman from Mysore.
He received the Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay Vishwakarma Award for 2006 instituted by the Crafts Council of Karnataka here on Tuesday.
Mr. Dakshinamurthy, who comes from an illustrious family of traditional metal-cast sculptors, was initiated into the profession by his father.
His ambition is to train youngsters in this art so that they carry forward this tradition.
The other two artisans who received the award are Noor Salma Banu (2004) from Channapatna for her work in Lacquerware and Rajesh M. Pattar (2005) from Gadag for traditional stone carving work.
Ms. Banu started at the age of 14 and has trained around 50 women artisans in this craft. "At the moment, we are working on making educational toys for children. The speciality is that we do not use synthetic colour but only vegetable dyes for our products, which are not toxic."
The awards were presented by Governor T.N. Chaturvedi, who said that Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, on whose name the awards had been instituted, was a great woman with "varied interests and far-ranging talent." It was her lifelong mission to revive the dying arts and crafts of the country, he said.
The tradition of recognising budding artisans should continue with a view to support the arts and crafts of India, Mr. Chaturvedi added.
Lalitha Ubhaykar, Founder-Chairman of the voluntary organisation, Ashvasan Foundation, presented a cheque of Rs. 1 lakh to the council so that the interest from it could be used to help aged and disabled artisans.
M.V. Narayan Rao, vice-chairman of the council, was present.

Secrets of Nature: Astrology and Alchemy in Early Modern Europe (Revised Edition) by Newman, William R./ Grafton, Anthony [Paperback]
In recent years scholars have begun to acknowledge that the occult sciences were notmarginal enterprises but an integral part of the worldview of many of our ancestors. Astrology wasone of the many intellectual tools--along with what we consider to be the superior tools of socialand political analysis--that Renaissance thinkers used to attack practical and intellectualproblems. It was a coherent body of practices, strongly supported by social institutions. Andalchemy was not viewed primarily as a spiritual pursuit, an idea popularized by nineteenth-centuryoccultists, but as a part of natural philosophy. It was often compared to medicine.Many Renaissancewriters suggested links between astrology and alchemy that went beyond the use of astrologicalcharts to determine the best time to attempt alchemical operations. Secrets of Nature shows the manyways in which astrology (a form of divination) and alchemy (an artisanal pursuit concerned with thetechnologies of minerals and metals) diverge as well as intersect. Overall, it shows how anappreciation of the role of the occult opens up new ways of understanding the past. Topics includethe career of Renaissance astrologer Girolamo Cardano and his work on medical astrology, theastrological thinking of Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei, the history of the Rosicrucians andthe influence of John Dee, the work of medical alchemist Simon Forman, and an extended critique ofthe existing historiography of alchemy.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili have been ruled out for the San Antonio Spurs' game at Brooklyn, still sidelined by injuries. Duncan missed his third straight game on Sunday due to a sore left knee. Ginobili was out for the fourth consecutive game with tightness in his left hamstring. Coach Gregg Popovich says the Spurs won't take any chances with their health and will stay cautious, knowing he needs both of the veteran stars later in the season.

Prior to his ankle injury, San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker was playing on a whole other level this season which has garnered him some consideration as a possible NBA MVP for this season. As if that wasn't enough for TP, he also signed on with PEAK (leaving Nike) and will now sport their basketball sneakers on the court. In the video below, Parker talks about why he signed on with PEAK, playing in his 2013 All-Star themed PEAK kicks, how he feels about being named as a possible candidate for the 2013 NBA MVP and the Spurs' chances at capturing the NBA title this season. What do you think Spurs fans? Will you buy a pair of TP PEAK kicks?

Hans Ulrich Obrist, Herzog & de Meuron, & Atelier Bow-Wow's "Stroll Through a Fun Palace" – Switzerland's Pavilion for the Venice Biennale 2014
"We often invent the future with elements from the past."
From the Curators. Within the Biennale's context of re-examining the fundamentals of architecture over the past century, the Swiss Pavilion focuses on the English architect Cedric Price (1925–2003) and the Swiss sociologist Lucius Burckhardt (1934–2003), two great visionaries whose work resonates with and continues to inspire the new generations of the 21st century.
Both were serial inventors. The trans-disciplinary cultural centre designed by Price, Fun Palace, for example, which was never realized, is emblematic of our own era. It lends itself more to the choreography of 21st century time-based exhibitions than to the object-based displays of the 20th century; it fosters a more communal experience, largely free to operate outside its material limits, and ventures into other realms of human experience. In Price's own words, "a 21st century museum will utilize calculated uncertainty and conscious incompleteness to produce a catalyst for invigorating change whilst always producing the harvest of the quiet eye".1
BIG Designs Spiralling Museum for Swiss Watchmaker
Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet have announced BIG as the designers for an extension to their headquarters in Le Brassus, near Le Chenit. The design includes gallery spaces for a museum, work spaces and a guest house. Conceived as a spiralling glass pavilion embedded in the landscape, BIG's design – entilted Maison des Fondateurs – will take visitors on a narrative journey through the company's 139-year history.

Hey, ever wanted to see Monica Keena nude? Well today's your lucky day, because we just happen to have the only known Monica Keena nude pictures right here. I'm not sure of their origin, but it really doesn't matter, because you probably aren't even reading this.
If you are actually reading this, though, here's a little bit about Monica Keena, for those of you may not be familiar with her. The 29-year-old actress is probably best known her role in Freddy Vs. Jason, but has spent most of her career doing guest spots on shows like Law & Order, The Sopranos, Grey's Anatomy, CSI, and Entourage, in which she played Eric's girlfriend.
But seriously, shouldn't you be looking at those pictures of Monica Keena naked by now?

So I myself am struggling with this. What's your 3-man rotation (though admittedly usage of four starters becomes necessary or advisable for some teams in some years) if the Reds make the playoffs?
For me,
No. 1 starter Johnny Cueto
No. 2 starter Travis Wood
No. 3 starter Homer Bailey (though there are many good reasons for Arroyo)
I'm having a hard time deciphering between those four. Volquez is actually the type of guy that can dominate more than any of them, but he's also the least reliable right now in my opinion.
If the Reds make the playoffs, how would you structure the rotation? Assume a 3-man lineup.

Little boy has a special talent for hunting four-leaf clovers
On St. Patrick's Day, grandparents Randy and Kathy Phillips of Henderson took 8-year-old Jakiah Phillips to the park near the county garage to play a little pitch and catch.
The boy became distracted after a little while by something in the grass, and soon went running to his grandmother with the first four-leaf-clover he'd ever found.
Thirty minutes later, his grandfather reported, Jakiah had found 10 four-leaf-clovers at the park and then added two more after he returned home making it an even dozen.
"I think we're going to start calling him Jakiah 'O'Phillips'," his grandfather said.
With Easter approaching, Henderson grandmother Regina Benson passes along this story from last year about 4-year-old grandson Caiden Summers:
The holiday was approaching when "Nanna" Regina informed the little boy that later in the day they were going to dye eggs.
When it got time to work on their project, Caiden excitedly told "Pappaw" Jerry: "Nanna's going to kill the Easter eggs."
Easter Egg decorating tips
It's about time to get creative with eggs, so here are some ideas from PAAS:
You can decorate hard-cooked or empty eggs.
Hard-cooked eggs are best when you want a sturdy egg for hiding and when you want to eat them when you're done. They are also easier for younger children to handle.

Empty your eggs if you want to keep them for a long time and bring them out to display year after year. If you want to keep your decorated eggs for a long time, you can strengthen them by covering them with layers of paper towels or similar paper stuck on with white glue or homemade flour-and-water paste.
Here are directions on how to empty eggs: www.paaseastereggs.com/hard_cooked_empty_eggs.pdf Everyone should wash their hands in hot, soapy water before and after handling eggs (even if they've already been cooked or decorated.)
This protects everyone from any bacteria on the egg, and protects the eggshell from any oils on hands that may make the dye not adhere. Make sure an adult supervises all projects to ensure common sense food safety precautions are observed.
Kids don't have to be highly creative to create an eggceptional egg. Help kids use their imagination to create cool looking eggs by gluing on fun materials found at craft stores, like fake gems, sequins, trims and ribbons. They can also use paint, including gold or silver metallic paints, to make their eggs special.
To create an egg with a face, create a light flesh color by dipping your egg in a dye that's made of a little bit of red and yellow coloring; for a darker flesh color, use a little red, yellow, and green. Then let kids express themselves — with a smile or other look they paint on.
To make eggs with several different colors (sometimes called a "Pysanky," or Ukranian egg), have kids draw on their egg with the clear wax "magic crayon" found in many PAAS decorating kits. Each time they use the crayon, they protect that color from dye.
For example, keep an area white by drawing on the egg before they dip your egg in any color. Then dip the egg in the lighter colored dye first and then move to darker colored dyes. Just be sure to let the first dye color dry before dipping it into next color "bath."
Cover up more areas to keep the color, and peel the wax off of other areas to add color. When they've finished dying your "Pysanky," peel off all the wax layers to reveal an interesting multi-color design. Polish the egg by rubbing in any remaining wax (heat egg slightly in hot water).
