Is it just my computer or is CSS-tricks looking pretty messed up in IE? I have IE8.
I think Chris is aware of it, but has no immediate plans to update.
I REALLY need to get on that. Sorry about that. It's on my to do and approaching the top.
It's all good, I don't use IE except to cross-check my work. I'm not really a fan of IE anyway.
Think this should be largely cleared up now. Next time I get some time I'm gonna clean up IE 7. Still leave it on a print stylesheet but do it more thoughtfully.
@chriscoyier, just out of curiosity, what percentage of your traffic uses IE?
Breaks down to:
3.15% on IE 8
3.04% on IE 9
0.63% on IE 7
0.14% on IE 6
What's IE 999.1?????

Stumpf, a junior on the baseball team, was hitting .515 at the time of the selection for the undefeated Flyers. "(Matt) has been one of our most consistent hitters and he has been a big part of our success," head coach John Hanowski said. Conley, a senior on the softball team, hit .400 during the month with 14 hits in 11 games, including a grand slam. "Britian has worked very hard to become an excellent catcher," head coach Ron Hinnenkamp said. "She leads by example and sees how others play, encouraging them to make the team better."

Last week, rumors surfaced that Activision was working on "Call of Duty 7," the next chapter in the wildly popular first-person shooter series. They stemmed from a report on That Videogame Blog, which said that the publisher was looking for "Vietnam War-era tunes, as well as Cuban, African, and Soviet Union music."
Now comes further proof that Treyarch is already hard at work on a new entry in the series. According to the LinkedIn resume of an animator at the shop (name withheld), "Call Of Duty 7" is listed as "currently in production." Activision reps had not responded to requests for comment about Treyarch's current project as of press time.
The resume offers no other details on Call of Duty 7, including platforms, ratings, or a release date. However, given that Modern Warfare 2 is due out November 10, 2009, a fall 2010 release date appears likely. If the past two games are a precedent, an M for Mature rating and multiplatform release are also all but assured.
For more on Treyarch's work on the Call of Duty franchise, check out GameSpot's video review of the best-selling Call of Duty: World at War below.

Each year, thousands of people find irregular spots, bumps, or sores that do not heal on their skin. Many assume that the bumps are nothing to worry about. Often, these skin changes have been growing unobserved for years. Some may be malignant (cancerous). Others are not.
To increase the odds of finding skin cancer as early as possible, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends performing a skin self-exam regularly. You can do a skin self-exam by visually checking all areas of your skin, using a mirror for hard-to-see spots. Areas that get the most sunlight, such as the face, hands, legs, and forearms, are particularly at risk so you should examine them carefully. You can ask your partner, a friend, or a family member to help you with areas that are difficult to see, such as your back or under your hair.
If you don't know whether the spot is abnormal, if you are unsure whether your insurance will cover the expense, or if you can't afford to make an appointment with a dermatologist, the AAD provides free skin screenings at participating doctors during limited times of the year. These doctors cannot make a diagnosis, but they can tell you if you should see a dermatologist. Visit the AAD website or call your local health department to find a nearby doctor and the dates the screenings are being performed.

Also, she has several upcoming film projects, including "The Way, Way Back," "Touchy Feely," "Trust Me" and "Bad Words." Additionally, she is lending her voice to the animated film "Mr. Peabody & Sherman." Recently, she appeared in "The Oranges," "Liberal Arts" and "Struck By Lightning." Janney co-starred in the Academy Award-nominated film "The Help," for which the cast won ensemble awards from the Screen Actors Guild, National Board of Review and the Broadcast Film Critics. Janney appeared in the Oscar-winning ensemble hit "Juno," and in the movie version of the Tony Award-winning play "Hairspray." For her role in "Life During Wartime," she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress by the Spirit Awards. She also appeared in "Away We Go," "Strangers with Candy," and was heard as the voice of "Gladys" in the animated film "Over the Hedge," as well as "Peach" in "Finding Nemo." Janney received another Spirit Award nomination for her work in the independent feature "Our Very Own," and starred opposite Meryl Streep in "The Hours," which received a SAG Award nomination for Outstanding Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture. Other feature credits include the Academy Award-winning film "American Beauty" (for which she won a SAG Award for Outstanding Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture), "Nurse Betty," "How to Deal," "Drop Dead Gorgeous," "10 Things I Hate About You," "Primary Colors," "The Ice Storm," "Six Days Seven Nights," "The Object of My Affection" and "Big Night." Janney is perhaps best known for her starring role as White House Press Secretary CJ Cregg in the television series "The West Wing," for which she won four Emmy Awards and four SAG Awards. While she was a freshman studying acting at Kenyon College in Ohio, Janney auditioned for Paul Newman. Soon after, Newman and his wife Joanne Woodward suggested she study at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. She followed their advice and went on to make her Broadway debut in Noel Coward's "Present Laughter," for which she earned the Outer Critics Circle Award and Clarence Derwent Award. Also, she appeared in Arthur Miller's "A View from the Bridge," receiving her first Tony Award nomination and winning the Outer Critics Circle Award. Janney was last seen on Broadway in the musical "9 to 5," for which she earned a Tony Award nomination and won the Drama Desk Award.

The designer opened a new studio space in New York's Garment District after being based in Harlem for years, and he saw his first collaboration with Target hit the chain's new East Harlem store.
"It's right there in front," Burrows tells StyleList of his Stephen Burrows for Target collection. "You can't miss it – it's really great."
The East Harlem Target – Manhattan's first – is scheduled to open Sunday, July 25 and the company celebrated the store's opening by giving some local residents and VIPs a preview Tuesday evening.
This store is selling three special collections – IsabelandRubenToledo for Target, Marcus Samuelsson for Target and the aforementioned Stephen Burrows for Target collections. The Toledo's collection includes boldly colored swimsuits and towels, while the reknowned chef Samuelsson created aprons, placemats, kitchen towels, potholders and napkins and t-shirts. Burrows' collection consists of well-priced knit pieces with an urban feel.
Many of these items will be available in select Target stores and on Target.com after August 1.
Burrows celebrated his new studio Wednesday evening with a smattering of fashion types, including his signature models Pat Cleveland and Alva Chinn.
"It's nice and airy, open-looking and modern, like me," he says of his new space. "The windows got me right away," he said of the walls of southern and western-facing windows. However, with New York's current heat wave, "We have the biggest air conditioner in the world here and we're still hot."
In more ways than one.

Pacific Rim - Blu-ray/DVD Details
Warner Bros. recently announced the release date for Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim as October 15, 2013. We have scored the motion cover art as well as the traditional cover art. Special features include director's commentary, focus points, director's notebook, digital artistry and many more goodies. What is not to like about this package?
Synopsis: From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

I hurried out straight away at lunchtime to test it giving myself 30 minutes to take a roll of 36 pictures, a photo challenge! So that is what this jumble of photos is. This way I can also remember what I did to take the pictures so hopefully improve next time, it's fun getting to know a new camera :) The film I used was Fuji Superia 400 as that is what I had in stock.

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
Jeff Gordon pranks critical 'test drive' journalist
Don't call Jeff Gordon a liar. He may come and find you.
According to BuzzFeed, the NASCAR driver took offense to a Jalopnik writer that called a prank he did in March fake.
In his article, Travis Okulski claims to have a source on the set of the ad who tells him the entire thing was staged. His article caught a lot of attention, including from Gordon.
Rather than writing a letter or showing a behind the scenes video, Gordon and Pepsi Max, along with another Jalopnik journalist, hatched a plan to give Okulski the ride of his life.
Something tells me Okulski won't be doubting Gordon from here on out. Maybe it's the shrill screams?
After you're done laughing, read Okulski's account of the prank.

Avcon / Bush Conversions
Has anyone installed a Bush or Avcon 180 HP C/S conversion on a 172 recently? I have called Bush Conversions a couple of times and don't get a good feeling at all from the woman on the phone. She is very evasive and doesn't know anything about the product they are supposedly selling. Additionally, she refuses to put me in contact with anyone that can answer my questions. Very weird...
On the other hand, the Avcon guy seems knowledgable and willing to work with me. Now I find out that apparently Bush and Avcon are one in the same and that there are lots of very unhappy former customers. Someone even told me that they are manufacturing parts without a PMA. Something very fishy seems to be going on in Kansas. Anyone out there have any personal experience or insight?
Re: Avcon / Bush Conversions
My understanding is that these STC's are held by Robert and Barbara Williams. Most of the comments that have appeared in this forum over the years involve the inability to get through to Robert with questions and concerns. It is certainly not a lack of expertise on his part. Calls are usually fielded in their home and messages can go unanswered for extended periods of time. Does not result in a warm, fuzzy feeling when spending big bucks.
There have been some good things posted about the DelAir conversions (Harry Deliker), and you may also want to consider that option.
Re: Avcon / Bush Conversions
I am having the exact same problem. My conversion was done in 1996 by the previous owner. The spinner has cracked and it is, apparently a unique part. I've talked to "Darlene" who is the only one who answers the phone. She's nice enough, but has been no help at all. I finally got an e-mail address from her for Barbara Williams, who is, or used to be the owner. At one point she answered my e-mail and aased me some questions about the plane, saying she would get back to me with price and availability. That was on Spetember 21. However, she has not gotten back to me despite repreated phone calls, e-mails and a letter from me.
I am at my wits' end. Any suggestions? have you, by any chance, got a spinner you'd be willing to sell?
Re: Avcon / Bush Conversions
That would be too weird for words. I've probably spoken with "Darlene" a dozen times. She says that Barbara is traveling and caring for her sick mother in California. She says that she will get my messages to Barbara, but that is all she can do.
All I want to do is give them some business, and get a spinner that will work on my plane. Does anyone have any ideas of a spinner that will work with this Bush Conversion?
Re: Avcon / Bush Conversions
I just saw your 10/2006 post and your concern in trying to deal with the Williams. I have a complete Avcon spinner and backing plate which I removed from a AVCON converted 170B. If you still are looking I will work with you.
GAry Moore 907-229-3353
Re: Avcon / Bush Conversions
I have been trying for 2 1/2 months to get an estimated ship date from Bush Conversions for a 175 conversion. Mind Boggeling, is all I can say. I began calling Bob (robert) at AvCon for information, and even offered to pay for the STC just to get the paperwork to my AP and still no dice!
Dose anyone out there have the paperwork for a Bush 175 conversion, they are willing to share? I would like to provide my AP with it (he has not done one of these conversions) for obvious reasons. Also, any comments on the installation would be helpful. Thanx!
Re: Avcon / Bush Conversions
Good morning,
my name is José Lozano, and I am positioned as Maintenance Director in a Maintenance Center in Canary Islands (Spain), approved under EASA Part 145 regulations, "Aeroclub de Gran Canaria, Part 145 ES-076".
Does anybody know the Mr Delliker e-mail address?
Re: Avcon / Bush Conversions
I am trying to find out as much information on the Avcon Bush Conversion for the 170B. I am looking at buying a plane that has this conversion with a three bladed Hartzell prop. Is this part of the conversion? The seller has the STC and it shows that it is land base only but the guy has had it on floats, so he is selling the plane advertised with a float kit on it. I guess what I'm trying to find out is, any info I can about this conversion on floats? Would I ever be able to put this on a set of float?
Re: Avcon / Bush Conversions
I have a 170B in the shop now with the Doyn (currently owned by Avcon/Bush). The exhaust system is incorrect (other CEssna model). I am in need of a new or serviceable complete exhaust system for this. I have had the same problems getting any calls back or even a phone call answered form the folks in KS.
Any one out there with a system for sale???
I can be reached at 253-939-8750.
Re: Avcon / Bush Conversions
I believe you can put a 180 in the older Cardinals per the TCDS as the newer ones had it. I would have to research it though. Where are you located? I am in Washington state.
Re: Avcon / Bush Conversions
Hi Skip:
Been down this road too. Bulkhead is the same as a Cherokee 180. I bought a composite one from TCB composites. Try www.tcbcomposite.com .If you can't find a part number, email me and I'll research the records for my plane for a P/N. Same experiences with the Williams, by the way. Needed a part number for my Bolen taildragger conversion (which they own too) - no help at all unless I paid $795 for the drawings.

Over the weekend, late night comedian and show host Jimmy Kimmel spoke at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and didn't leave Operation Fast and Furious out of his notes. When he cracked his joke about the scandal, the room didn't laugh, mostly because the press refuses to hold the Obama administration accountable for one of the bloodiest scandals in American history. Not to mention, contempt charges for Eric Holder were ready to go Friday, so it may have just been a little too soon for everyone in the room to take. Not to mention, the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, I.C.E. Agent Jaime Zapata and hundreds of Mexican citizens as a result of Fast and Furious, is no laughing matter.
"Democrats would like you to stick to your guns. And if you don't have any guns, you can ask Eric Holder to get some for you."
President Obama was sure to steer clear of Fast and Furious during his remarks at the event.

Now, instead of talking about the idea of pH overall, like in a test tube or beaker, let's talk about pH in our bodies specifically. What molecules and processes in our bodies can cause pH changes?
Your book lists five things on page 824 that affect hydrogen ion concentration in our bodies. I will give the same list here, but in my words.
1. Cellular Respiration (a.k.a., aerobic respiration of glucose)
When we take oxygen and glucose into our cells for the purpose of making ATP, we make carbon dioxide and water as well. Do you remember this figure from A&P 1?
Well, as you learned during the systemic respiration unit, Unit 22, carbon dioxide mainly travels through the blood as bicarbonate ions. And you learned about that fact also back in the blood unit, in the context of maintaining the pH of blood. So, the required production of ATP leads to a carbon dioxide byproduct that affects blood pH. Here's a little more on how that happens...
Carbon dioxide combines with water to make an carbonic acid, H2CO3, a weak acid. This weak acid tends to give off a hydrogen ion when in a neutral-ish pH solution, like in blood. Therefore, it gives off a hydrogen ion as shown to the right in the figure above. You learned about this already. That reaction also produces HCO3-, bicarbonate ion. This reaction is readily reversible, so that when blood reaches the lungs, it quickly reverses and we can expel the carbon dioxide. The reversibility is shown by the arrows that point both ways.
The bicarbonate ion can act as either a weak base or a weak acid. The weak base part is pretty easy to see, because all you have to do is reverse the reaction that just happened, sucking up a hydrogen ion to combine with the bicarbonate ion and re-making carbonic acid. But the bicarbonate ion can also be a weak acid. This is shown more clearly here:
In middle of this figure is the bicarbonate ion. If the reaction goes to the left, the bicarbonate ion acts like a weak base, and if it goes to the right, the bicarbonate ion acts like a weak acid. Because it can act like either, bicarbonate is an excellent buffer, and that will be discussed on the buffer page. For our purposes here, you should be able to see that the production of carbon dioxide can lead to the addition of excess hydrogen ions to solution.
2. Anaerobic respiration of glucose
You learned that sometimes our cells need so much ATP that they must keep making it even when they cannot get enough oxygen. This happens a lot in muscle. When this happens, glucose is only broken down into lactic acid... not all the way to carbon dioxide. But, lactic acid is an acid. It tends to increase the hydrogen ion concentration in solution.
3. Breaking down fatty acids
Have you ever fasted for a little while? When you fast, even if you brush your teeth a lot, you start to get a weird taste in your mouth. Have you ever noticed that? You see, when you fast, your body is forced to break down its supplies of fats, rather than use newly ingested carbohydrates. The fats stored in our bodies are triglycerides, which are molecules made of glycerol and fatty acids. As we break down a lot of fatty acids, we make something called ketone bodies as byproducts. These are acidic, and so they change the concentration of hydrogen ions in our fluids. The weird taste is the taste of the ketone bodies.
4. Breaking down sulfur-containing amino acids
When we break down proteins, we release amino acids. Our bodies try to recycle most of the amino acids (nutrients), but sometimes we end up breaking some of them down. If the amino acids we break down contain the element sulfur in their R groups (there are only 2 of them: methionine and cysteine), the breakdown results in the production of sulfuric acid, H2SO4. Sulfuric acid increases the hydrogen ion concentration in our fluids. It does this by reversibly yielding HSO4- + H+ (by "reversibly yielding," I mean that the arrows in the reaction look like those above for the production of the bicarbonate ion from carbonic acid).
5. Breaking down nucleic acids and "phosphoproteins"
All nucleic acids contain phosphate groups... that is because nucleic acids are made of nucleotide building blocks, and all nucleotides contain at least one phosphate group. "Phosphoproteins" are proteins with phosphate groups attached, since proteins are made of amino acid building blocks, and amino acids don't contain phosphate groups. However, many proteins get modified to have phosphate groups sticking off them. I know that sounds odd, but it is very common. Do you remember what phosphate groups are? They are PO42-. Anyway, the break down of these macromolecules that have phosphate groups hanging off them leads to the production of phosphoric acid, H3PO4.
Like you saw with carbonic acid and sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid can reversibly give off hydrogen ions: H3PO4 <------> H2PO4- + H+ . Phosphoric acid is a weak acid.
Acid-Base Imbalances
All of these five processes that occur in our bodies lead to the production of acids, so they all tend to increase the hydrogen ion concentration in our body fluids. If you re-evaluate them, you'll see that they all fit into one of two categories-- they are either processes that occur in systemic respiration (breathing) or metabolism (nutrients and their breakdown). Because hydrogen ion concentration can increase from either breathing or metabolism, there are two general types of acid-base imbalances that can occur in our bodies:
You already learned a bit about acidosis and alkalosis on the pH webpage. But you didn't learn what caused them. Now you should know. So, for example, respiratory acidosis and respiratory alkalosis have to do with pH imbalances caused by breathing. If one breathes too fast and deeply (hyperventilation), one kicks out excess amounts of carbon dioxide, and that causes respiratory alkalosis. Does that make sense? The metabolic imbalances are a bit more challenging to explain, but they link to the specific causes for pH changes above as well. The easiest metabolic imbalance to explain is that in diabetes mellitis more ketone bodies are made, causing metabolic acidosis.
The next question on your minds should be, now that we see that the pH of body fluids can easily be made more acidic, how do we control this? These are the questions that I hope to answer in the remaining web pages.

MMD Mafinga Member of Parliament (MP) Catherine Namugala has been expelled from the opposition party.
This will result in yet another by-election as two other polls will be conducted in Mpongwe and Livingstone on February 28, this year.
Ms Namugala has been expelled along with MMD Lusaka Province chairperson Mary Tembo for being 'inimical' to the interest and values of the party
MMD vice-president for politics Michael Kaingu announced the expulsions at a media briefing in Lusaka yesterday.
But Ms Namugala, flanked by ousted national secretary Richard Kachingwe at another media briefing, said the decision was a 'fraud' and would not be recognised.
"I'm wondering who has expelled me because I have not received any letter from the party national secretary Major Kachingwe who was duly elected. The decision from the National Executive Committee (NEC) to expel me is a fraud because Nevers Mumba is not MMD president," she said.
Maj Kachingwe said as MMD national secretary, he had written to the Speaker of the National Assembly informing him that the Nevers Mumba-led MMD had no right to expel Ms Namugala.
He said Dr Mumba was running an illegal body.
Dr Kaingu said Ms Namugala has since been replaced as women's chairperson by former Patriotic Front (PF) Matero MP Faustina Sinyangwe.
"Yesterday (Tuesday) NEC met at Chrismar Hotel where we discussed several important issues concerning our party. We made a resolution as NEC that Ms Namugala and Ms Tembo be expelled from the party with immediate effect," he said.
He said acting MMD national chairperson Kabinga Pande and party chairperson for elections Kenneth Chipungu, who is Rufunsa MP, had been confirmed in their positions while acting party national secretary Kapembwa Simbao had also been confirmed as a NEC member.
Ms Namugala and Maj Kachingwe on Tuesday formed a parallel structure announcing a new secretariat.
Dr Kaingu termed the action by the two as unlawful and that law enforcement wings should step in.
"If you go to the Registrar of Societies, the only MMD address you will find is this one where we are and not that illegal structure along Bwinjimfumu Road.
"Those who want to leave can call themselves any names like puppies... we don't care about those leaving or have left us because we have our elected party president Nevers Mumba," he said.
Meanwhile, the Lusaka High Court has denied granting Ms Namugala an injunction to restrain her expulsion from the opposition party.
Ms Justice Fulgeance Chisanga told lawyers representing MMD when the matter came up in chambers for inter-parte hearing yesterday that Ms Namugala was not issued an injunction to block her expulsion.
This was after one of the defendant's lawyers Sunday Nkonde informed the court that they were confused with a mistaken view widely reported in the media that Ms Namugala had been granted an injunction.
Ms Namugala is also challenging the appointment of Kapembwa Simbao as acting national secretary.

The battery was FUBAR and the bike was running like crap. I tried a couple other places with luck before limping into Carter Powersports.
The engine died and refused to start again. I coasted into the parking lot.
Spending ~$190 bucks on a new OEM battery sucks when I know...
The last one lasted 2 years and 3 months!
(I probably need to troubleshoot my charging system, huh?
I swapped the batteries in the parking lot and let the dealership keep the old one. I wasn't attached to it.
I was happy to find the new battery, which ended all of the problems I was having.
By mid-afternoon I was headed out of town.
20 years ago I visited the desert southwest for the first time when Helen and I flew to Las Vegas.
As many tourists there do, we got out of town in a rental car to see sights such as Hoover Dam
and the Red Rock Canyon Scenic Drive.
I remember being thoroughly impressed with the scenery, but after all I've seen since, will I still be?
Nah. Just like I thought. Crowded with tourists in rental cars its claim to fame is undoubtedly being close to Las Vegas.
Only the first couple miles of the 13 mile scenic one-way loop road was scenic.
At least it was wide enough to pass the tourists driving 15 in a 35.
This rock is huge! For a sense of scale, try to find all of the people in this picture. I counted at least 24, but I had the advantage of the full-resolution photo.

A young San Antonio Spurs fan faces an in-school suspension on Thursday if he doesn't somehow find a way to alter the image of Matt Bonner that was shaved into the back of his head.
The Spurs 3-point specialist, who is averaging just 14.6 minutes per game in the postseason, has apparently made such an impact on Woodland Hills Middle School student Patrick Gonzalez that the youngster decided to have a hairstylist shave an image of Bonner into the back of his haircut.
Bonner found Gonzales' act as one of the most unique compliments of his career.
"It's a very flattering portrait of myself. I've never considered myself a controversial figure, but apparently, it's too distracting and too much." Bonner said.
Now the 'Red Rocket' is trying to arrange Gonzales to attend tonight's Game 2 of Spurs-Clippers Western Conference playoff game at AT&T Center.
"Obviously, I'm hooking Patrick up with signed everything," Bonner said after the Spurs' Thursday morning shootaround to prepare for Game 2. "But we're also trying to get him to the game tonight. Hopefully, it works out and he can make it, and I hope he still has that pic shaved on his head."
Bonner also had a suggestion for Judson Independent School District officials other than suspension: "Couldn't you just move him to the back of the class?" said the red-headed sharpshooter. "Then nobody would see it; it wouldn't be a distraction. Otherwise, the nicest thing a fan has ever done for me is ruined."
But the Spurs' forward wasn't critical of school officials for wanting to maintain decorum in the classroom, but thought his solution made more sense than the in-class suspension.
"I'm not going to condemn the school," he said. "If anyone is in support of education and academics, it's myself, my Mom being a teacher, and my own academic success. Like I said, they could have just moved him to the back of the class."

ALBANY, Ga. -- Two of Albany's oldest churches -- one predominately black, the other mostly white -- will come together for a revival this week that spiritual leaders say they hope will serve as a catalyst for removing the racial divisions that still haunt Albany 50 years after the start of the civil rights movement.
The congregation of Bethel African Methodist Episcopalian church on Washington Street has invited the Rev. Garrett Andrew, the pastor of First Presbyterian on Jefferson, to preach at Bethel's three-night revival this week.
The Rev. Ernest Davis, the pastor and spiritual leader at Bethel, said the idea came to him following the city's annual joint Holy Week services earlier this year.
MOBILE USERS: Click here to view the video with this story on your mobile device.
"I thought it was a good thing that the different churches in this community were coming together during the Holy Week services, and we'd always talk about doing other things, but once the week was over, we'd all go back to our churches and that was that," Davis said. "So I went to Garrett and asked him if he had the time to do it, and if he was interested. He was."
Davis said he took the idea to his congregation at Bethel, where it was well-received by his parishioners.
Traditionally, churches ask pastors from other churches to head up services during a revival, but typically those pastors are from the same denomination and from out of town.
Davis said he wanted Andrew and First Presbyterian specifically because he believed it could reinvigorate efforts by churches and other social organizations to tear down the racial barriers that he believes are hindering the city.
"Additionally, because I serve on the racial healing advisory committee for the Southwest Georgia Community Education project, which is looking at ways communities can heal themselves along racial lines ... I think this revival serves as one the best demonstration projects you can have, because, again, it's two churches coming together. We're crossing color lines, we're crossing economic lines, we're going the whole gambit," Davis said.
For Andrew, the 32-year-old white pastor of the 163-year-old church who cut his pastoral teeth preaching at black churches in California, the opportunity to preach at Bethel and take another step toward racial reconciliation is important.
"It's important for me because it shows a desire in the community to have some of these walls of division, these walls of race, come breaking down," Andrew said. "I think it's important for the community, as a community that has suffered tremendously from division, to recognize that there's actually movement within the community to bring these down so that we can come together for the greater good, to worship God realizing that because we can come together in Christ Jesus, we can worship God together.
"So, for the community, then it becomes an event, hopefully, whereby we can realize that all of those divisions that separated us previously for such a long time can be overcome."
Old churches like Bethel and First Presbyterian -- both of which bookend the civil war period in the United States -- have come to be more than just religious havens. They're shelters for those seeking protection from social ills.
The very foundation of the AME denomination is rooted in a desire for racial equality. Disgruntled with the way blacks were treated in a mainline denomination, the denomination split from the church, forming the AME church where black culture could be woven into worship services.
By contrast, First Presbyterian Church has historically hosted mostly white congregants. While still mostly white, the modern church is home to a mix of races and genders who have developed a renewed dedication to community service and activism.
Andrew said he believes the spirit of revival and healing can take hold throughout the community, especially in local churches.
"I guess I'm hoping for something new," he said. "We have a God who says, 'Behold I make all things new.' We have a community that feels like the same old, same old is going on. We have a lot of people with a sense of hopelessness and despair, and it's time in the midst of that to look toward our hope and joy.
"I know in our church we're praying to become God's hope and joy, and from this we believe that, indeed, hope and joy will be born into a community that is groaning for need and it'll be something whereby people can actually experience the grace of God."
Davis share's Andrew's belief in a brighter tomorrow.
"I'm hoping this will serve as a catalyst and open doors for bigger and better things," Davis said. "We're not looking at this as a one-time event. We're hoping it'll serve as a springboard, as a mechanism to allow this city to come together as a community of faith. Because there are things we can do to bring us together as a community, and maybe someone will look at what we're doing and say 'hey, it's working for them, maybe we should try it,' and it will spread."
The revival is not the first time black churches and white churches have co-mingled in Albany.
Recently, Mt. Zion Baptist, the city's largest predominately black church, and Sherwood Baptist, one of the city's largest majority white churches, formed a partnership to swap pastors and do other cross-church activities.
But Davis said he believes this revival is a little different than a pulpit swap, and he prays that it will be something that takes hold in the community.
Can this community overcome its racial issues?
"That's my firm belief," Davis said. "At some point, we'll need to realize that we're all here together on this Earth and that our survival, our well-being, is intermingled. We can separate ourselves; we can divide ourselves, thinking we can survive independently, but in actuality, you can't.
"We need to understand that there is more that unites us than divides us, especially if we're part of the faith-based community, the body of Christ, because we're united in our faith. Christ didn't discriminate. He treated all people fairly, and so should we."

You have to be from somewhere else. This unity will never come about unless folks of all races start working, paying taxes and quit depending on the taxpayers of all races to take care of them. Not so hard. Just do it and you will see an over flow of unity. White folks and hard working blacks are tired of this attitude everywhere.

Shouldn't it be "Hard working folks?" You make it seem as if all "white folks" work hard and only a select few of "black folks" do........This is why we have no unity in Albany, GA

I am really in support of these two church's come together, and I hope so much that people can look past. The color of somebody's skin , but the color of there blood. These two great men have alot of work to do, but having a so called pastor like Heard, this will be difficult. Heard wants to keep racism alive.
VSU 2 years, 9 months ago
It's going to take a lot more than these two churches getting together to heal the racial divide. Another step would be to boot Tommy Postel & William Wright out of town. I don't know of anyone that stirs up racial divide than these two.

Show up, see what happens. Two men of God taking a chance aganist the conventional wisdom that is Albany society. Two congregations willing to push aside, at least for the moment, preconceptions and find common ground in their faith. Unity doesn't happen overnight, not is there ever a finsih line. It is a process that requires contiuous thought and constant examination to keep moving forward.

Racism is over worked as a defining issue for Albany community. I work with some of the best plaid, asian, white, and, hold your breath, black folks possible. I am even friends with some of them. I eat at their houses and I go out to dinner or concerts with them. They have done the same with me and my wife. The defining issues in this community are crime, education and feudalism. Racism is hauled up on the flag pole for attention and inevitably it gets the accelerated version of attention known as hysteria. Here's a strategy to prove my point. Ask yourself what is it the community will be doing when we are, let's say, reasonably racially unified. Will we have a support center for all senior citizens? How many are there and who are the participants? Will we have outreach centers for the poor or infirmed or incapable? Look at them throughout the city. Will we have broad ethnicity in functional civic services or elective offices? Count them. Granted we have DCSS, but I'm sure the revival will be working on that. I support with, $ and time, a conservative youth movement which teaches discipline, achievement and fulfillment. The overwhelming majority of our money and labour comes from adult white men with the majority of the service going for black youth and families. These men vote Republican by 95%. Not one word in the 2 decades have been associated with this group have I heard the local men express anything close to an ethnic based observation. Not one! If we have some things to do lets do them and keep the focus on the objective.
"As you ramble through Life, Brother, Whatever be your goal. Keep your eye upon the doughnut, And not upon the hole."
It seems we would be a lot more productive in the community if we paid attention to basic pressing issues, the most critical of which is education.

The interview with Brian Fallon about his work on hypochondria left me puzzled (6 December 2003, p 48).
He suggested that having an overprotective mother can make one hypochondriac. The emerging evidence that our genes determine around half of our personality suggests a different explanation: an innately health-conscious parent is more likely to have health-conscious sons and daughters than one who is not. That would make the problem "biological", according to Fallon's classification.
He says that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) result in a significant improvement in 70 to 75 per cent of his patients. Curiously, this is substantially higher than the effectiveness rate quoted for depression. Later in the interview he describes how strong the placebo effect is for this group of people. Perhaps the benefit can be largely attributed to this effect. The distinction is important because SSRIs are associated with serious side effects.
Fallon is unhappy ...

Residents gather around the wreckage of a civilian vehicle at the site of a car bomb attack in Kirkuk, some 250 kms (155 miles) north of Baghdad, November 27, 2012, where at least six people were killed and 35 others wounded in a series of car bomb attacks targeted at a Kurdish-dominant area in the ethnically mixed city of Kirkuk. REUTERS/Ako Rasheed
BAGHDAD: Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Saturday warned of the danger of "ethnic conflict" in Iraq, after negotiations aimed at easing Arab-Kurd tensions in the country's north stalled this week.
"If conflict erupts, it would be unfortunate and painful, and it will be an ethnic conflict" that is "not in the interest of Kurds nor Arabs nor Turkmen," Maliki told a news conference in Baghdad.
Talks between federal and Kurdish security officials aimed at easing high tensions between the two sides in northern Iraq broke down over Baghdad's refusal to scrap the Tigris Operations Command, the autonomous Kurdistan region's government said in a statement on Friday.
The establishment of the federal Tigris Operations Command, which covers disputed territory in northern Iraq, has drawn an angry response from Kurdish leaders who want to incorporate much of the area into their region.
Maliki also defended federal troop movements in the north, saying it is the army's right "to be in any part of Iraq."
And he ruled out the redeployment of US forces to help ease the tensions, saying it is "the responsibility of the Iraqi government and the (Kurdistan) region to work to end their problems without the assistance of a third party."
US forces played a coordinating role between Kurdish and Arab forces in disputed territory, forming joint patrols and checkpoints comprised of US soldiers, Iraqi troops, and Kurdish forces.
But US troops withdrew from Iraq last year, removing a buffer to Arab-Kurd tensions.
The dispute over territory in northern Iraq is the biggest threat to the country's long-term stability, diplomats and officials say. Ties between Baghdad and Kurdistan are also marred by disputes over oil and power-sharing.

Stretching Your Wings
Advanced training is the ticket to taking your flying to the next level
FLIGHT BAGS: What The Pros Carry
Luke Lambard
Airline pilot with a major carrier, and owner/pilot of a Christen Eagle
Purdy Neat Thing by Luggage Works
• Clarity Aloft headset
• small logbook
• SureFire flashlight
• medications (in case I get sick on the road)
• reading material for layovers
• checkbook
• ear plugs
• hot sauce (for airport food)
• Maui Jim titanium sport wrap sunglasses
• iPhone (with ForeFlight app)
I'm a big fan of simplicity. The less, the better. The PNT (Purdy Neat Things) duffel I carry is probably 10 years old and still in great shape. The only downside of luggage bags for general aviation is that they're heavy—not a big deal on airliners, but in an RV-4, could be a big issue.
I know that a lot of my GA students get bogged down carrying a lot of trivial stuff. Not that it's all bad, but as the years go by, I find myself carrying just three things religiously—headset, logbook and flashlight—and that's about it.
ForeFlight on my iPhone takes care of all of my GA preflight briefings and files all of my instrument flight plans. I use it religiously.

LaToya Ruby Frazier (American, born 1982). Grandma Ruby and Me, 2005. Gelatin silver photograph, 15½ x 18½ in. (39.4 x 47 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Emily Winthrop Miles Fund, 2011.63.1. © LaToya Ruby Frazier
March 22–August 11, 2013
LaToya Ruby Frazier: A Haunted Capital uses social documentary and portraiture to create a personal visual history of an industrial town's decline. Through approximately 40 photographic works of her family and their hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania, Frazier offers an intimate exploration of the effects of deindustrialization on the lives of individuals and communities. Home to one of America's first steel mills, Braddock now has a population below 2,500 and has been declared a "distressed municipality."
Frazier began to explore Braddock's history in her series Notion of Family, four examples of which are on view in this exhibition. That project uses the bodies of the artist, her mother, and her grandmother both to reveal complex intergenerational relationships and to serve as a metaphor for their town's decay. Frazier's portrayal of this American landscape is in stark contrast to images from a recent corporate ad campaign set in Braddock, which she felt not only erased the troubled realities of her endangered town but also excluded the community to which her family belongs.
Frazier, whose work is featured in the 2012 Whitney Biennial, is Associate Curator for the Mason Gross galleries and teaches photography at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
LaToya Ruby Frazier: A Haunted Capital was organized by Eugenie Tsai, John and Barbara Vogelstein Curator of Contemporary Art, Brooklyn Museum.
Generous support for this exhibition was provided by the Lambent Foundation and the FUNd.

Kim Kardashian's Lingerie Photoshoot In Factice Magazine
I still for the life of me am not really sure how Kim Kardashian became a celebrity. I mean, I KNOW…thanks to Ray J and a video camera…but I don't even know how she was even in that position in the first place. At any rate, she sure has done a great job in taking her 15 minutes and building a career out of it. Always ready to show off her curves, Kim appears in the newest issue of French magazine Factice.
Factice appears to be one of those magazines that you look at. No articles, just photography. While other photographic pieces in the issue sport fully naked models, Kim keeps it classy with lingerie, fur and pearls. I can dig it. Because of the nature of the photos, I would say it's slightly NSFW. But you won't catch any nip slips on these photos. Check out the full spread below:Read More
What's Beef?: Snoop Lion Rap Battles As Moses Against Santa Claus + DMX's Rudolph
There's only 14 days until Christmas, yo!! Time is just flying by this year, if you ask me. In an effort to get you into the holiday mood…or something like that, Snoop Lion teamed up with the folks at ERB (Epic Rap Battles) and made a special holiday rap for us to enjoy! Snoop Lion, as Moses, faces off against the one and only Santa Claus.
While not as epic as my new Christmas favorite of DMX rapping Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, it holds it's own as a good battle between Christian and secular holiday beliefs. That's kind of deep, when you think about it. It would be a good Sunday School song…if not for the cussing and Moses' 'heauxs' all booty clapping and stuff. Check out the rap battle AND DMX rapping about Rudolph (in case you missed it), when you continue…Read More

Weekdays at Noon on 92.3 KTAR
KTAR Middays
Even if it works, stop-and-frisk is still wrong
New York City has changed for the better in the past 20 years. As an eighth-grader I trekked to the big city with several classmates on a school trip. Not only did we, as 12- and 13-year-olds, marvel at the tall skyscrapers, we seemed to identify with the grittiness of the city.
We noticed prostitutes everywhere we went. Many of the kids on the trip ventured into Chinatown to purchase fireworks and switchblade knives.
That was 1992.
The nation's most populous city was considered dangerous as it found itself in the middle of the violent crack cocaine epidemic. Crime was rampant. Over 2,000 were murdered that year across the five boroughs.
Back then Times Square looked like a red-light district. Our teachers told us to watch our wallets and avoid talking to strangers when walking through. The city's most popular tourist destination was filled with shady stores and interesting characters.
Much has changed since then. Times Square is clean and vibrant with dozens of neon signs. It's friendly and welcoming. It is probably one of the safest spots in any big city throughout the country. That speaks to the changes in New York City's crime rate as a whole. They, like most other cities, have seen sharp decreases in crime. In 2012 there were only 414 murders in NYC.
The city's last two mayors are trying to take as much of the credit as they can.
New York City's previous mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, is credited with starting CompStat meetings in the New York City police department. This technique of looking at crime statistics helped police identify high-crime areas and helped develop strategies to reduce violent crime.
Current Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly wanted to do better. Enter the infamous stop-and-frisk policy.
This policy allowed and encouraged police officers to stop and frisk anyone who looked suspicious as they were walking down the street. Cops followed their orders, stopping and frisking almost 4.5 million people since 2004.
Bloomberg and Kelly said the idea behind stop-and-frisk was to stop crimes before they happened and to get guns of the street.
Well, a U.S. District Judge ruled their policy to be unconstitutional because they violate the Fourth (protection against unreasonable seizures) and Fourteenth Amendments (equal protection guaranteed under the law) to the U.S. Constitution.
Bloomberg isn't going to let the Constitution slow him down, though. He called a press conference after Judge Shira Scheindlin released her decision during which Bloomberg said, the judge has "made it clear she was not interested in the crime reductions."
To be fair here are the numbers since 2004: 4.4 million stops, of which 87 percent of those stopped were Black or Latino. Only 12 percent of the stops lead to an arrest or a ticket. Knives and other weapons were confiscated in 1.5 percent of the stops and guns were found in less than one-tenth of one percent of the stops.
It's also worth nothing there's no easy way to tell how much the policy may have reduced crime.
Either way, crime reductions aren't relevant, wrote Scheindlin in her decision because "many police practices may be useful for fighting crime � preventive detention or coerced confessions, for example � but because they are unconstitutional they cannot be used, no matter how effective."
She's right.
This is a victory for all of us, even if it's a small one. Too often judges in America's court system side with the police in their efforts to take away our rights. This week, Judge Scheindlin sided with us. This week we get to keep a few more of our rights. The rights the Constitution was designed to protect lest mayors like Bloomberg forget.

ORIGIN:He told himself when he started that he was after the fame, the girls, and the glory, but John Grayson arrogance and brashness serve to disguise a fighting heart devoted to the deeper cause of justice. John was born with the power to produce ice, and through practice developed them to the point that he felt able to don the identity of Icestar. As Icestar his exploits were televised and he quickly became a local hero, popular with the police and public alike. There is even an official "fanclub" that engages in various forms of community service.Coming to the aid of his friends, leading the team.As years went by Icestar meet several costumed heroes and became a founding member when they decided to join forces, calling themselves the Champions. Currently he is even serving an indefinite term of office as the first elected chairman. Reasoning with the fact that his young sister, Christine, has developed similar powers, John had her move in with him. Unable to watch her every move, it led to Christine discovering that he was actually Icestar. Forcing him to let her come along with him and the Champions on adventures and having John train her in the arts of heroing.When in his civilian attire, John supports himself as a telephone pole repairman. He did graduate college with a degree, and he has done work as a cryogenics research scientist, but John felt that as his adventuring as Icestar grew more involved it kept him unable to do laboratory work full time. The only two people that know John's identity as Icestar are Christine his sister and his coworker, who occasionally has to cover for him when situations arise.POWERS:Iceslicking!Icestar is able to reduce his body temperature, and absorb kinetic energy from his environment. He has rudimentary psionic abilities, and is able to manipulate water molecules to the point that he can condense water out of the air and freeze it into ice. He has taught himself how to shape and mold the ice he forms into such shapes as fists, snowballs, barriers, ice-daggers, and slides to name a few. When Icestar moves, he glides along the ground, pushing himself by forming ice at his heels.

WHAT: Circus for Arts in the Schools
WHEN: 1 and 4 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 6
WHERE: Kofman Auditorium, 2200 Central Ave.
INFO: www.circusforarts.org or 510-337-1238
Circus for the Arts — the seventh-annual circus-themed fund-raisers are scheduled for 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday at Kofman Auditorium, 2200 Central Ave. The 70-minute shows will feature performers who've worked with Cirque du Soleil and the Pickle Family Circus, as well as other talented acts from the circus world like Calvin Kai Ku. Tickets are $10-$18.
Circus for the Arts performers include Cirque du Soleil veterans Jaron Hollander, Marcie Brown, Ben Johnson and Jeff Raz, who helped start the annual fund-raiser about seven years ago and has a son attending Otis School. The show will feature a band led by Johannes Mager, stage clowns from the Medical Clown Project, other circus acts based on talents developed in China, Germany and Brazil, as well as beatbox-juggler Bronkar Lee, aerial dance troupe Zaccho Youth Company and two aerial duet performers of Disney World fame.
Cassie Weigel, star of Bay Area Children's Theater's Circus Adventure and a student at St. Philip Neri in Alameda, is also set to perform. And a quartet of talented principals from Alameda public schools have promised to share their talents as well, event organizers say. Among the new acts are those featuring capoeira (or Brazilian martial arts) and a stilt walker.
"Money raised at the Circus for the Arts goes to support arts programs modeled on teaching from the Lincoln Center Institute in New York," explained Raz. "Students get to see work of art – visual or performing art, like music or dance. Before and after they see it, they work with a teaching artist to do exercises and training."
Funds raised will help pay for these Creative Education programs at Paden and Otis elementary schools. In addition, the city's other elementary schools will receive some financial support for participating in events' ticket sales. In past seven years, the circus shows have a total of more than $130,000.

Roasted Jalapeno Soup
adapted from chocolate moosey
- 4 green Jalapeno Peppers
- 2 small-med Carrots, see Tips
- 1 small Onion, see Tips
- 2 cloves Garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 tbsp Organic Red Palm Oil, or see Tips
- 3 tbsp unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, see Tips
- 2-1/2 cups water (or Vegetable Broth)
- 1/2 cup Milk
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup Tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup Mushrooms, sliced
2. Red Palm Oil: Substitute with Olive oil if you like. I use Nutiva's Organic Red Palm oil which is naturally red in color thanks to being rich in antioxidants.
3. Pastry Flour: I use Organic W.W.Pastry flour, but you can use regular white flour instead. The flour is used to thicken the soup.
LizJanuary 13th, 2015 on 3:06 pm
This looked so good. I halved the peppers thinking it would be milder. Unfortunately it was too hot. Even my husband said so. we are going to save it to use as a dip.
mollyNovember 4th, 2014 on 6:17 pm
Delish! I added turkey bacon and substituted 1 Fresno red pepper in place of 1 of the jalapenos.
July 24th, 2014 on 8:42 pm
Isn't palm oil bad for health?
I use Organic Red Palm oil. Refer my Tips section for details –DK
TraceeJuly 21st, 2014 on 8:17 am
Try roasting your jalapeños whole and longer. The longer you cook them, the more heat they will lose. I have a wimp in my house too! I'm a Texan and left to join him in PA when we married in 1999. The ONLY reason I have stayed up here this long is because I cook a lot and mexican cuisine (and smoking BBQ) is my speciality!
You could also sub part of those jalapeños for Poblanos. Roast the same way.
Uncle MamaJuly 19th, 2014 on 12:33 pm
I am a Soupaholic! I'll eat hot soup in the dead of summer and I am in Charleston, SC. I added various other peppers from my CSA that I roasted with the jalapenos. I also left it "chunky". I added cilantro (which I love) while simmering which gave it a different taste. Excellent use of my abundance of peppers. Thanks for the recipe!
MSMarch 3rd, 2014 on 11:00 am
Tried it with roasting all the vegetables as i had mentioned earlier. It was excellent and didnt require any oil as is the case for pan frying. I just sprayed it with some cooking oil spray very sparingly. An extremely delicious soup. Thanks
MSFebruary 18th, 2014 on 10:33 am
How about roasting all the vegetables instead of pan frying? I thought i would try that method. Do you think it would work?
I don't see why it won't. That sounds extremely delish. –DK

Very new to me.. looks great!!

Wow you can't get better than a kick from roasted jalepenos! I love roasting vegetables because it makes them taste much better!
RadhaJanuary 25th, 2014 on 11:08 am
You work? I'm curious too, how do you manage to do all this and work? Many working women I talk to tell me where's the time to do things from scratch and here you are buying raw milk making your own yogurt and ghee? How?
Yes, I was working until last month. I quit during December. I was working full time then transitioned to part time work from home when my kid was born. But last 6 months have been hell on my health since if I did not want to compromise on my family, I was compromising on my health. Late nights, less then 5 hours of sleep etc. It came to that since my little one grew up and needed more time from me. Hence after a tough 6 months and a breakdown it came to making a choice – either compromise on the food, taking care of my family or compromise on my health trying to juggle the rest. Logically thinking, not taking care of me would eventually lead to not doing my priority either. So quit last month and I have been so much more happier. So, no – I am not doing it all. No one can, if they are trying to do whatever they are trying to do right! –DK
DeepaJanuary 25th, 2014 on 7:31 am
We don't like mushrooms in our house….can you suggest something that i could substitute in place of mushrooms? Thank you. Lovely website – love how you give step by step directions with pictures. How do you find the time to do so much cooking and blogging as a working woman with a kid?!
Just skip the mushrooms. No harm done. Yes, it turned out to be extremely tough which is why I quit last month–DK
January 25th, 2014 on 2:02 am
Lovely soup. Will try and let you knaow
January 25th, 2014 on 2:01 am
Its yummy. Will definately try. Thanks for this post
NidhiJanuary 24th, 2014 on 8:52 pm
We don't get fresh jalapeños in india… Any substitute??
mm…no real substitute, but try roasting the big chilli we get used to make bhajji –> Molaga Bhajji. One medium sized one and try it..who knows it might taste as good (or possibly even better) –DK
January 24th, 2014 on 2:08 pm
Goodness me, that sounds great. I happen to have an excess of jalapenos right now. A must try.
Have a favorite recipe?
- Know a family recipe your mom used to make? Or maybe a go to recipe that works everytime? Share it with your fellow foodies!

Recently a magnetic divertor was introduced in the HIEI tandem mirror as an effective stabilization method, and the second harmonic resonance ion heating was examined. The purpose of the paper is to clarify the physical mechanism of the ion heating. RF field with large wave number was confirmed in the divertor configuration which could not be found out in the nondivertor configuration. Power absorption in the vicinity of the second harmonic resonance regions was also confirmed.

kale salad
February 14, 2013 § 1 Comment
I bought some really pretty kale. My original plan was to make kale chips for a work event, but then someone asked me to bake, so I made muffins instead. I needed to do something with this kale and I am glad I didn't end up making chips, because eating it raw preserved the color.
Kale Salad
Cut the stems off the kale. If there is a thick rib in the center, slice it out.
Place leaves on top of one another and roll up, 4 to 5 leaves at a time.
Slice the rolled up kale thinly, or julienne
Place the kale in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
Place some pine nuts on a skillet and toast on medium heat.
White the pine nuts are toasting, wash your hands and then massage the kale for 2 to 3 minutes. It's fun.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. Toss and top with the toasted pine nuts.

We left Denver in October and had been stalking Craigslist for the perfect place for the last six months. Let's be honest, we were just looking for a place that we could afford that wasn't a windowless basement in-law apartment. The prices in SF are outrageous. We experienced rude and condescending leasing agents, who treated us like an application, not real people. Laundry, parking, or a yard are impossible to find if you don't want to spend a bajillion dollars on rent a month. We had all three in Denver and paid less than half of what we are looking at paying here. I was getting warn down, by trying to be one of the cool kids that live in the city. I started looking for some places off the beaten path. James left on a Sunday for New Orleans, for a six week-long project. The day after he left, I went to look at a little cabin by the beach.
Little, as in three hundred fifty square feet. Four houses from the beach. We had ditched a large portion of our worldly possessions, including one of our cars, before we left Denver. We had been living the last four months out of suitcases and began to realize how little we actually needed to be happy. The less stuff you have, the simpler life is. I'm still learning, though. I am a vintage knick knack lover, avid book collector, and a sentimental junkie, but now everything must have a functional purpose. Though, the less things you have, the nicer things you can have. You just don't need a lot of them (things). We have parking and laundry.

love & pancakes
February 15, 2012 § 4 Comments
When it comes to pancakes, the men in my life make them best. My grandfather was notorious for his ninja turtle shaped pancakes. It was 1990 and those guys were the coolest. He'd whip up a Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael for his seven hungry grandchildren with one hand tied behind his back. My dad, who undoubtedly learned from his father, was the go-to guy for pancakes on a Saturday morning. He was really good at it and my mom was probably still sleeping anyways.
Now, James has taken on the role of pancake maker extraordinaire. Check out these cute Valentine pancakes he made for me yesterday. I didn't actually get to eat them since we weren't together, but he took a picture and pretty much every girl I know fawned over how sweet and romantic he is. What a guy.
long distance boyfriend
January 30, 2012 § Leave a comment
James is out of town. A lot. It sucks to be apart, but I really see it as having the best of both worlds. I enjoy being alone and often get anxious when I go a significant period of time without having a night by myself in my house. I get all the freedom and independence of living alone, but then I have this amazing companion that I get to share my life with. 50% of the time at least.
Over the past couple of months James has been gone for 2 to 3 weeks at a time, sometimes only have a few days at home in between. I joke that he is just my long distance boyfriend that comes to visit for a weekend here and there. We always manage to fill our time together doing as many fun things we can with each other and all of our amazing friends here in Denver.
This past weekend he was home was a non-stop adventure. Seeing old friends in town for SIA, a snowboard date, dancing with the greatest dance crew of all time, parties with photo booths and some of our favorite people. We cooked together in our tiny kitchen for our good friend's birthday brunch. I made vegan muffins, James made a quiche. We even squeezed in dinner at City o' City with James' parents and figured out some of the wedding planning we've been putting off.
Back to being a single girl again. Until February 16th.
thank you weekend

shrimp, orange, fennel, arrugala and roasted butternut squash soup courtesty of @jessierobotgirl
It's weekends like this past one that leave me an with overwhelming feeling of appreciation for the wonderful people and experiences I am able to have in my life. I admit I sometimes throw myself a pity party when life gets stressful and tend to be a recluse. I am so lucky to have the company of good friends to cook, play, eat desserts, and most importantly, laugh with when the last thing I need to do is throw myself a pity party.
A fresh and colorful Friday night dinner with Kombucha instead of cocktails, dressing up and going out for drinks and desserts with my lady friends, long car rides with fun people, good music bringing us to a sunny mountain with lots of new snow! Can't beat that. Did I mention I'm a lucky girl. I am so lucky.

This week has been a little intense, to say the least. Big changes took place that left me feeling anxious and scared at one moment, then excited and hopeful at others. This morning I had to get up really early for an appointment before work and it was really cold and really dark out. I didn't want to get out of bed, but then I looked at the blank spot on the wall where I plan to put these two new prints I just ordered from theloveshop on Etsy. I haven't been buying anything, except for the necessities for the last several months and although I generally experience buyer's remorse with any purchase, I felt really good about this one.
