Pfizer Professionals Introduce Teens to
Two Powerful Apps: Math and Science
Classroom visit sparks interest in STEM
Valerie Hoyt's classroom houses about a dozen chemical-resistant, resin-topped tables, two colossal wasps' nests, an oak limb, a whitetail deer with a glittery snowflake hanging from its antlers, a "No Whining" sign, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 empty Altoids tins hot-glued to the west wall. (A recycling project in progress, Hoyt explains.)
On a rainy Tuesday last month, Room 512 also played host to four scientists from Pfizer driving home a point she has made for the past 28 years: Science is fun, it's challenging, and it's everywhere.
Joining the team from Pfizer were New Britain High School (NBHS) math teachers Shane Clark, Eric Nelson, Todd Stigliano, and dozens of their students from the school's ninth grade academy, where 57 freshmen are participating in Cyber-Challenge, a program aimed at increasing their engagement and achievement in STEM subjects: science, technology ,engineering, and math.
Juan Colberg, Science Guy
Funded by a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation and administered by CBIA's Education Foundation, Cyber-Challenge seeks to strengthen the pipeline of ninth- and tenth-graders who enter their junior year enrolled in Advanced Placement STEM classes and who eventually pursue STEM careers. (STEM is critical to Connecticut's economic-base industries, which include precision manufacturing, green and sustainable technology, bioscience, and IT.)
Dr. Juan Colberg was one of four Pfizer employees who visited Room 512 to talk about the work he does and the science and math behind it. A research and development chemist, Colberg shared his own educational and career path and described the "long road to a new medicine," whose development includes discovery and exploratory phases, clinical data analysis, efficacy and safety studies, formulation, synthesis of compounds, screening, and registration in the United States and abroad.
Start to finish, the process can take 12-15 years—and billions of dollars.
"It's a risky business," Colberg said, adding that for each pharmaceutical that enters the market, as many as a thousand others fail. He noted that opportunities for failure are possible at every step in a drug's development, from conceptualization to commercialization.
Rx for Success
To demonstrate, he and his colleagues—Hahdi Perfect, a chemist; Dr. Nancy Figler, a veterinarian; and Dr. Mark Maloney, a chemical engineer—engaged the class in an oversized board game that illustrates a typical drug-development timeline. Students were invited to choose a health issue to target, name a new medication they would develop to treat or prevent it, and set the process in motion. Each milestone and setback in the drug therapy's development was quantified in terms of dollars and time invested.
"The Pfizer lab was a great opportunity for students to see and learn about the product development process for medication in a manner that was fun and exciting," said Shane Clark, lead teacher for Cyber-Challenge at New Britain High School.
"It's one thing to be told that people use science and math outside the classroom; it's another to meet some living examples," explained Judy Resnick, executive director of CBIA's Education Foundation. "One of our goals in Cyber-Challenge is to connect students with role models in STEM fields—real people solving real-world problems using principles in math, science, and other disciplines. We're doing that every way we can—through field trips, virtual media, and classroom visits."
In addition to Pfizer, corporate sponsors for Cyber-Challenge are General Electric, Northeast Utilities, and United Technologies Corp., all of which are doing similar outreach in classrooms in participating Cyber-Challenge schools: New Britain, East Hartford High School, and Wilby High School in Waterbury.

There are many contributingfactors, including: pilot experience, technique, high

more thanhalf of alllandingaccidentsoccur onapproachtoandduringthe landing.
Almost half of these (45%) were "hard landings" and more than half of thehard landings
(55%) occurred in high winds. Of course, that means almost half of these hardlanding
accidents occur when winds are generallynot a factor.
In this month's Special Report, articles provide tips on the approach to landings and
the effect that wind can have during this phase of balloon operation. A review of piloting
skills and technicalaspects.
Bypassing technique for the moment, there are other contributing factors that also
needto be considered; namelythe physiological andpsychological status of the pilot.
The psychologicalfactorsare related to aeronauticaldecisionmaking and personality

Comments, questions and tips
I made this about a month ago because I had tried a similar one a year ago which was delicious. The soup turned out really well! There were 5 members of my family at that lunch, all who liked it, even one who cannot stand butter beans! I used quatre cream and the rest milk which made it less rich. This is maybe the best soup recipe ever! Will made this lots again.
A nice soup that does need a substantial amount of seasoning to give it edge but is very tasty and wholesome. I used shredded little gem lettuce instead of spinach, which gives lovely green flecks even after blitzing, and just a dollop of half-fat creme fraiche instead of all that cream, and it was lovely. Have made this soup more than once now.
This is scrumptious - delicate and very flavourful at the same time. I wanted a more celery-dominant taste so I doubled the celery and halved the butterbeans. Also added some chopped thyme and a bay leaf (taken out before blitzing). Frozen spinach and reduced fat creme fraiche certainly didn't do any harm to the flavours.
Just served it with a really fresh coleslaw of shredded red cabbage, finely chopped fennel, chopped salad onion and basil (touch of creme fraiche and mayo to bind it).

Nestled along the banks of the Savannah River, Augusta is the oldest and second largest city in Georgia. Augusta has been rated as the second best place to live in Georgia, and 111th in the nation. (Places Rated Almanac).
Augusta is approximately 150 miles east of Atlanta on Interstate 20 in east central Georgia at the South Carolina border. Augusta is centrally located just two and a half hours from the beach and the mountains.
Augusta is home to the United States Army Signal Center Fort Gordon, the state's Medical College and Augusta State University. The city is also recognized for its state-of-the-art medical facilities and growing business and manufacturing sectors.
Once a year during the first full week of April the eyes of the world are focused on Augusta when the world's greatest golfers gather at the Augusta National Golf Club for the Masters Tournament.
Augusta was once the capital of Georgia and has a large number of historically significant homes and facilities. The Cotton Exchange, established in 1872, supplied local businessmen with cattle and grain quotations from Chicago, stock averages from New York and daily market prices for cotton. In addition, Augusta is home to Woodrow Wilson's (28th president of the United States) child hood home; the Ezekiel Harris House; George Walton's (signer of the Declaration of Independence) home and many more historical places of interest.
Augusta is home to the godfather of soul, James Brown, and is the birthplace of Amy Grant, Laurence Fishburne, Jessye Norman, Terri Gibbs, Danny Glover, Joe Penney, boxer Ray Mercer, novelist Frank Yerby, professional wrestler Hulk Hogan and pro golfer Larry Mize. Ty Cobb, a great baseball player of his time, also made his home in Augusta.
Augusta reflects the historic charm of the classic South with its tree-lined streets and majestic antebellum mansions. There are dozens of shops and restaurants, cultural and historic attractions in Augusta.
With an average temperature of 62.7 degrees, Augustans spend much of the year outside taking advantage of many parks and recreational facilities.

A bit late to the party, but here...
*How long have you been sewing?
Almost 8 years.
*How did you learn to sew?
I found a free, printable doll dress pattern on the internet and followed the instructions. Then I got a book about pattern drafting from the library and made doll clothes from that. It wasn't too difficult a step to human clothes.
*What was the first project you made that you remember?
the aforementioned doll dress (it looked hideous!)
*Do you have a favorite thing to sew?
I like doing dresses, pants can be fun and quick to sew up sometimes too.
*What is your favorite step in the sewing process?
Stitching and pressing, and I really like topstitching too.
*What is your least favorite thing?
Cutting, marking, and setting in sleeves!
*Do you have a favorite brand of patterns?
Not really. I like vintage mail-order patterns, and Hollywood patterns because the covers are pretty.
*What era do you like sewing best?
1950s. And 1860s.
*Do you use vintage patterns? How do you prepare/use them?
I try to be as gentle with them as I can. Reprints (as long as ease isn't added to them) are great though!
*How do you finish your hems/seam allowances?
Mostly with self-bias binding; I leave a lot of seams raw though.
*Do you sew for other people or just yourself? Why?
I occasionally do some work for family, friends, or clients. I prefer sewing for myself.
*What's your favorite type of fabric to sew?
Lightweight wools are wonderful!
*What are your favorite trims?
Rickrack is fun...I love doing any type of bias binding. I hate doing ruffles, they take so much time and effort.
*Do you use a dress form? Which brand?
I have an el cheapo Dritz form from Joann's, but it does the job all right.
*What brand is your sewing machine? Would you reccomend it to others?
I have a modern Brother and a modern Singer Simple. They're okay. The Singer Simple is supposed to be for beginners but I got it several years after I started sewing and didn't find it that simple to use.
*And words of wisdom to share with those starting out?
Try not to lose your patience! Get it in your head right now that sewing involves LOTS of re-doing, ripping out, re-fitting, etc. It can be finicky and frustrating but the end product is worth it.
Thanks for posting the questions, I loved answering them and reading the replies!

Bad Santa! Greenpeace Stoops to New Low to Frighten Children
Children... The man in this video is not Santa, and the North Pole is not melting.
Reaction to this video has been very negative in the YouTube comment section. One poster summed it up like this: "Pathetic - In act an of sheer desperation, Global Warming fanatics are coming out during our coldest days. Not to convince reasoned adults, for they already know that we already know what liars they are - They try to convince our children that they will NEVER again get presents."
Another said, "You getting the message Greenpeace? We don't believe the your lies anymore! You are irrelevant controlled opposition clinging to the man made global warming myth. You have lost all credibility & integrity. It's over when you have to resort to such crude propaganda. O-V-E-R."

Two men who worked for Beaver Excavating died Saturday afternoon at the Timken Co. Faircrest plant after a crane boom fell on them, a Stark County coroner's investigator said.
Two male employees of Beaver Excavating were killed Saturday afternoon at the Timken Co. Faircrest Steel Plant due to a crane accident, said Harry Campbell, the Stark County Coroner's chief investigator.
He said the two men killed at the Faircrest Street SW facility were Brian Black and Mark Tovissi, who is believed to live in Sandy Township.
Campbell said at about 12:50 p.m., the two were outside behind the plant preparing to lift a load with a crane in an area where Timken's new caster will be located.
Then several Timken and Beaver Excavating workers heard something snap and the crane's boom fell onto Black and Tovissi, killing them instantly, Campbell said.
Township police officers, a township fire medic unit and township fire rescue truck were immediately dispatched to the scene, said Township Deputy Fire Chief of Operations Larry Sedlock.
Campbell pronounced the two dead at the plant at 1:21 p.m.
Sedlock said the crane operator was taken to Aultman Hospital for evaluation. Besides the two men who were killed, no one was physically injured, he said.
Timken Co. spokesman Dan Minnich said in an emailed statement that the company has reported the accident to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Timken has suspended its construction operations at Faircrest "until further notice," he wrote. And out of respect for the two deceased workers, Timken has suspended steel production at Faircrest until 8 a.m. Monday. Timken announced in February 2012 it would invest $225 million to expand Faircrest's specialty steel production capacity by 25 percent by installing a new ladle refiner and large-bloom continuous caster at the plant.
It's not clear why the crane boom fell.
The crane belonged to ALL Erection and Crane Rental, which is based in Independence, Campbell said. Beaver Excavating, a major local construction contractor, is based in Perry Township.
Campbell said autopsies of Black and Tovissi will be performed Sunday or Monday.

Program: A two-story, 66,580-square-foot public elementary school for 600 students. The building, which replaces a roughly 40-year-old school on the same site, consists of a steel-structure classroom wing with a library and office, along with a concrete structure housing a gymnasium and multipurpose performance space.
Design concept and solution: After four decades in an inward-focused building with little outdoor communal space, Carl Sandburg Elementary wanted an extroverted building with a strong connection to the landscape. To keep the school open during construction, the architects sited the new structure north of the old. They wrapped the two wings around a grove of big-leaf maple trees, and deferred to the grove's shape by angling the classroom wing away from it. The NAC team clad the building with a combination of concrete masonry units and prefinished steel siding. To emphasize the school's environmental focus, they mounted solar panels on a galvanized steel frame affixed to the glazed facade; the panels double as shades for the computer lab inside. The architects divided the academic wing into neighborhoods of three or four classrooms. Each neighborhood is anchored by a central communal classroom with glass walls and doors, which gives teachers the flexibility to observe several groups of students at once. The classrooms open onto patios and other outdoor learning areas near the maple grove. For the interior materials the team chose a natural palette. They defined the main public areas with a textured fir-panel ceiling, which extends from the commons to the library, and set off the corridors' dark gray carpet and polished concrete with warm finishes such as stained-MDF wall panels. In addition to the solar panels, the school's sustainable features include geothermal heat pumps, daylight-responsive lighting, and a rain garden.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The Las Vegas City Firefighters Union is firing back at a recent report from ambulance company American Medical Response, which claims the Las Vegas Fire Department gives priority to rich, white neighborhoods when it responds to 911 calls.
It all stems from a recent change in city policy, aimed to give the fire department a bigger share of ambulance transports. It used to be that American Medical Response, known as AMR, would respond with Las Vegas Fire & Rescue on all 911 calls. Since March 1, the fire department only calls AMR when they're needed.
It has caused a lot of friction between Las Vegas Fire & Rescue and AMR, and now emergency responders are taking offense.
"The last thing we do is look at somebody and say, 'Oh, how much money do you have? Where do you live?' Absolutely not," said Scott Johnson, President of the Las Vegas City Firefighters Union.
Scott White, General Manager of AMR, said firefighters and emergency responders were never the target of the recent study his company paid for, which alleges risk to citizens stemming from the change in policy.
Among the study's findings: An 839 percent increase in delayed response time since the change, and evidence they say proves the fire department transports more patients from wealthy, less diverse parts of town where people are statistically more likely to pay their bills.
"This is a disagreement with an individual who is in charge of the department, Chief Willie McDonald, who made a decision to take apart a system that was working," said White. "We feel very strongly about his unilateral decision to take apart the EMS system that has received national recognition."
Johnson said not only does the union stand behind Chief McDonald's decision to take on more transports, because it is a doable goal, but he takes issue with the AMR report. Johnson said some of the parts of the map the AMR study examined includes areas not in the fire department's jurisdiction, and others that are shared by Clark County with mutual aid agreements. He said AMR is using scare tactics in an attempt to bring back lost business.
"It's clear there is a concern for the business aspect of the for-profit ambulance company. We don't feel it's appropriate if they send a message to the community that makes it appear we don't care," Johnson said.
Chief Willie McDonald was not available for comment Thursday, but has previously spoken against the AMR report.

Human herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 and 2 causes oral, ocular, or genital infections, which remains a significant health problem worldwide. HSV-1 and -2 infections in humans range from localized skin infections of the oral, ocular, and genital regions to severe and often disseminated infections in immunocompromised hosts. Epitope based vaccination is a promising mean to achieve protective immunity and to avoid infections with Human herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).
The twelve selected epitopes, six B cell epitopes from different glycoprotein of HSV-2 (amino acid residues 466-473 (EQDRKPRN) from envelope glycoprotein B, 216-223 (GRTDRPSA) from C, 6-18 (DPSLKMADPNRFR) from D, 483-491 (DPPERPDSP) from E, 572-579 (EPPDDDDS) from G and 286-295 (CRRRYRRPRG) from I glycoprotein of HSV-2), four CD4+ T cell epitopes (amino acid residues 21-28 (NLPVLDQL) from D, 162-177 (KDVTVSQVWFGHRYSQ) from B, 205-224 (KAYQQGVTVDSIGMLPRFIP) from D and 245-259 (KPPYTSTLLPPELSD) from D) and two CD8+ T cell epitopes (amino acid residues 10-20 (KMADPNRFRGK) from D and 268-276 (ALLEDPAGT) from D), are responsible for the elicitation of the neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that impart protective immunity to the host. In this study, all above epitopes were inserted into the extracellular fragment (amino acid residues 1-290) of HSV-2 glycoprotein D to construct multi-epitope assembly peptides (MEAPs) by replacing some non-epitope amino acid sequences. The epitope independency of the MEAPs was predicted by three-dimensional software algorithms. The gene of the selected MEAP was expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3), and its protective efficacy against HSV-2 infection was assessed in BALB/c mice.
The MEAP, with each inserted epitopes independently displayed on the molecule surface, was selected as candidate proteins. The results showed that the MEAP was highly immunogenic and could elicit high titer neutralizing antibodies and cell-mediated immune responses.
The MEAP provided complete protection against infection with HSV-2 in mice, which indicates that it might be a potential candidate vaccine against HSV-2.

Aquatic Habitats
Connecticut River
The Connecticut River is the longest river in New England. It flows through or between four states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire along the way from its mouth in Long Island Sound to the headwaters in Fourth Connecticut Lake at the border with Quebec, Canada. The 410 mile long river drains an 11,250 square mile watershed. The river supports wild runs of American shad, blueback herring, alewife, hickory shad, striped bass, Atlantic sturgeon, endangered shortnose sturgeon, and American eel. The river is home to winter flounder, brook trout, and a population of endangered dwarf wedge mussels. Hatchery stocking has returned a run of Atlantic salmon that had been extirpated two centuries earlier. The salmon program has united a diverse and concerted effort to restore the river from headwater to mouth like no other single species could justify.

Androscoggin River
The Androscoggin River flows 178 miles from Central New Hampshire and joins the Kennebec River at Merrymeeting Bay. It has a 3,530 square mile watershed. Listed critical habitat for Atlantic salmon is restricted to the lower river below Lewiston-Auburn.
Penobscot River (including Cove Brook, a tributary)
The Penobscot River is New England's second largest river and the largest watershed in Maine. Four sub-basins with catchment areas exceeding 1,000 square miles; these include the Piscataquis, Mattawamkeag, West Branch, and East Branch. There are over 1,600 miles of streams and rivers in the drainage and more than 625 lakes and ponds. The watershed contains Mount Katahdin (Penobscot tribal name for "Greatest Mountain" the highest peak in Maine (5,270 ft). The estuary is about 32 miles in length from head of tide just upstream of Bangor to Searsport, ME. The river is known a large historic Atlantic salmon run that has been listed as endangered. The river is home to alewife, striped bass, blueback herring, American shad, Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, and brook trout. The river has an 8,570 square mile watershed.

Hudson River
The Hudson River begins in Lake Tear of the Clouds on Mount Marcy, New York's highest peak. The Hudson River is 315 miles long. The river's deepest point (216 feet deep) is near West Point and it's widest point is at Haverstraw where it is three and one half miles wide. From Troy south to the river's mouth in New York harbor, the Hudson River is tidally influenced. Estuaries such as Constitution Marsh are nurseries for many Hudson River fish and waterfowl.
About 206 species of fish can be found in the river including shad, Atlantic Sturgeon, shortnose sturgeon, catfish, flounder, eels, river herring, smallmouth and largemouth bass, bluefish, sunfish, and carp. Geese, swans, surface feeding ducks such as mallards, black ducks and wood ducks are common on the Hudson River. Also seen are diving ducks such as scaup, bufflehead, canvasbacks and merganser. Common shorebirds include killdeer, spotted sandpipers, least sandpipers, greater yellowlegs, snowy egrets, least bitterns, green herons and great blue herons.
Perching birds seen in the marshes include marsh wrens, red-winded blackbirds, swamp swallows and yellow warblers. Gulls include herring gulls and great black-backed gulls. Raptors include bald eagles and osprey. Natural resources of the Hudson River have been contaminated through past and ongoing discharges of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The Hudson River Natural Resource Trustees -- New York State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Department of the Interior -- are conducting a natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) to assess and restore those natural resources injured by PCBs.
James River
The James River is a 410 mile long river. It's the 12th largest river in the country that remains within the boundary of a single state, Virginia. It drains 10,432 square miles of watershed. The James River starts in Iron Gate and drains into the Chesapeake Bay at Fort Monroe. It is home to brook trout, American and hickory shad, striped bass and Atlantic sturgeon.
Merrimack River
The Merrimack River begins in Franklin, New Hampshire. From there, it flows 110 miles through New Hampshire and finally joins the Atlantic Ocean at Newburyport, Massachusetts. About 4,700 square miles of the two states are drained by this river. This industrialized river still supports brook trout, in its headwaters, American shad, alewife, blueback herring, American eel, striped bass and hatchery-restored runs of Atlantic salmon.

Susquehanna River
The Susquehanna River is the largest river on the East Coast and the 16th largest river in the United States. The 444 mile long river passes through three states: New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland. It drains a 27,500 square mile watershed. Its headwaters lie in Cooperstown, New York at Otsego Lake. The mouth of the river empties into the Chesapeake Bay at Havre de Grace, Maryland. The Susquehanna River provides more than half of the freshwater flowing into the Chesapeake Bay and is an important key to the Bay's health and sustainability. The river once supported a variety of migratory species including American shad, blueback herring, alewife, hickory shad, striped bass, Atlantic sturgeon, shortnose sturgeon, and American eel. Dams built to generate power on the river degraded fish habitat and blocked access to important nursery and rearing habitat. Thus most of the historic fisheries are in decline.

It looks like it's been an iconic part of the Harvard skyline forever, but just over ten years ago, the distinctive Gothic tower that crowns Memorial Hall was missing.
Now featured on countless postcards sold in Harvard Sq., until 1999 the tower was a shell of its former self, having been razed by a fire in 1956. For over 40 years, Memorial Hall went without its most grandiose feature.
In 1999, when Harvard stood on the verge of wrapping up a record-breaking capital campaign—a massive six-year-long fundraising effort that collected over $2.6 billion for the University—administrators finally took steps toward restoring the structure.
That tower—the red-brick structure that beckons to posing tourists and prospective students—now stands as a symbol of the major projects and changes that can be ushered in by a concentrated University fundraising effort, known as a capital campaign.
The University's last such campaign, in addition to the eye-catching renovation of Memorial Hall, also paid for the new computer science building Maxwell Dworkin, the transformation of the Freshman Union into the Barker Center, and a large expansion of undergraduate financial aid.
Now, after a series of false starts and delays, Harvard has quietly begun a new capital campaign, which is expected to raise an even larger sum and to reshape the face of the University once again. This campaign is set to alter the landscape of Harvard by funding renovations to the twelve undergraduate Houses and by bankrolling the University's long-awaited expansion in Allston.
With a new campaign underway, the University is determining the major items that will be funded by the campaign's proceeds.
The dean of each school in the University has been asked to submit a memo outlining the projects in his or her school that could benefit from campaign funding. Faust and her advisors will then cull suggestions from these memos in order to create the final list of beneficiary projects.
Several administrators have said that House renewal, a potentially sweeping renovation project to the twelve undergraduate Houses that will start with major updates to Old Quincy next year, will be the foremost priority of the entire campaign.
Construction in Allston will also be a focus of the upcoming campaign, according to many top administrators.
It remains unclear what will be built in Allston, where the University originally planned to put a neighborhood of student housing and even broke ground on a state-of-the-art science complex—all of which was scrapped, at least temporarily, when the financial crisis gutted the University's endowment, a reversal that angered residents and has soured town-gown relations for the foreseeable future.
But administrators have made assurances that the capital campaign, which was also postponed due to the dismal economy, will mark the end of the standstill in building across the Charles River brought on by the recession.
Provost Steven E. Hyman said that Allson construction will "absolutely" be a priority in the upcoming campaign, adding "I don't think we have much choice at this point."
"It certainly will be a part of the campaign, and our aspirations are tied to Allston," Faust said.

Bonjour et Bienvenue à Mon Nouvel Appartement
There is no better place in the world than my apartment. It is my home, my sanctuary and my crafting headquarters. As with any chateau, mine needed a proper fete to celebrate its awesomeness.
It was hard to find a lot of good apartment-warming ideas online so I have compiled some of my secrets to share with you!
Picking a theme for your party is super important, it makes everything else much easier because the activities, food and decorations will all stem from here. Because my place was christened "Chateau la Mere" from the beginning, nothing but a French, Parisian theme would do! This part was really easy for me, however themes can be hard to invent and decide on. First and foremost, think of what YOU would like – it is your party and your place, so you get the ultimate say! I'm sure if I had a Minnie Mouse themed party my friends would have still left full, happy and satisfied (although I would have probably been the only one to dress up for it…) So what I'm trying to say is let your imagination run wild, and do what is going to be fun for you and your guests.
Okay so I had all of these fantastic ideas of cute invitations that I could send out to people. But let's face it… not only do I not know any of my friends' addresses, who wants to pay for postage? Or pay for paper? Hell, I don't even know my friends' email addresses! Go green, and cheap, and do a facebook evite. If you have friends that are decidedly "off the grid" then shoot them an email or give them a call, but sending an invitation online is an easy way to make sure that the people who you want included are not overlooked.
If you really cannot completely break away from a traditional invitation, think of making a graphic invite that you can upload to the electronic invitation to give it a bit more personalization.
Decorations & Supplies
I didn't want to go crazy on decorations, I mean I'm all for going big but this is an afternoon party that I planned to last no longer than 4 hours so I didn't want to get too invested. I just bought some simple crepe paper and went to town. You can buy this at the 99 cent store! How great!
Keep your decorations clean and simple, but also try and tie them back to your theme.
Although this is a short party, I really wanted to make sure that my guests were properly entertained during their time at the Chateau. Little activities and prizes make the experience just that much more memorable! There are a lot of fun, quick games that you can play, but since this was a housewarming party I decided to avoid any cliches and just offer a craft (duha!!) and a photobooth experience. Both are very simple and easy to set up.
The craft did set me back some cold hard cash because of all of the supplies I needed, so if you don't want to spend too much you might want to avoid this. Because of my LOVE of maps, and the fact that my kitchen is pretty much an homage to my obsession, I thought it would be fun for my guests to make their own state so that I could make a friendship map of sorts!
I provided an array of felt fabric squares, puffy paint, pom poms, hot glue, feathers, beads… you name it. I made my own state and taped it to the wall as an example as you can see in the photo above. I also wrote out instructions of what to do on cardstock and posted it on the wall as well – just letting them know what all of the mediums were for, the rest was up to them! You of course were able to take the states home, however everyone wanted for me to keep them so that I could do something (which I have yet to do!) awesome with all of them. They are my keepsakes from the day!
For the photobooth, I simply taped up a sheet to my ceiling…which was actually quite difficult because my ceiling doesn't take much of a liking to duck tape. The sheet formed a barrier around my desk where I set up my macbook. Guests were able to select their background of choice and then have at it!! We got a lot of great photos, and afterwards I created a facebook photo album so that everyone could see their lovely faces
Food & Drink
This is where your theme really comes into play. What would you eat if your theme was reality? If you're throwing a Spice Girls party have a station with a bunch of different candies – cause you know those girls were always hyped up on sugar (or life, one or the other…). So since my party had a French theme I went very simple – I offered cheese and crackers purchased relatively inexpensively at Fresh and Easy; and I also offered home made crepes with your choice of nutella or jams to top them off. Both options kept everyone full and happy for under 20 bucks!
I LOVE dessert, so of course I had to offer some sweet options. The cupcakes were both purchased on the cheap as well as home made by a friend, the cookies were sent by Mom (I'm loved, I know) and I bought a HUGE brick of chocolate that I just broke up into tiny pieces. I had sooo much left over, but that's what sharing at work the next day is for, right?
Fresh and Easy's Big Kahuna wine is similiar to 2 Buck Chuck at Traitor Hoes, however it tastes better (in my professional wino opinion), is cheaper AND they all have screw tops!! This was a great way to give the French experience on a budget. I believe I spent more on the plastic cups than the wine. I also offered a seasonal apple cider (this was in October, obvi) and a dessert wine. My total for the beverages was probably around 20 bucks as well. If you can stick to wine and beer instead of offering a variety of liquors and mixers, you will most likely save in the long run.
Final Tips and Tricks
Everything turned out great, and it was wonderful to see everyone that made it out! As simple as everything looked, I actually spent a lot of time prepping and was more than exhausted when all was said and done. I prefer to attend parties, instead of hosting them haha but I learned a lot and had a super awesome time so I'm glad it all came together. Here is a rundown of some key tips for a successful housewarming party:
- Be prepared to spend money and time, as with any party, but make sure you keep everything under control by setting a budget
- At the end of the day select a theme that you LOVE, but just make sure that your guests will be comfortable with it
- Don't go crazy with the decorations, just add nice touches to tie in with the theme. You don't want to detract people from the beauty of your new place!
- Play music in the background and have little activities for people to do when they fall in and out of conversations
- Provide seating and tables. If you don't have these yet borrow some OR have your guests bring them – BYOC, bring your own chair!
- SOCIALIZE AND HAVE FUN. As the host it's easy to get caught up in the preparation and making sure everyone is happy but remember this is YOUR party so take time to enjoy it before everyone is out the door!
Decor-it Yourself – Mapping it out
I am in total nesting mode, and it's not even funny. I have been super ADD with my crafting and decorating as I am overly inspired to make this place my home. For the first time, I really feel like I might be staying put for a LA hot minute (which means more than 1 lease term).
While I was unpacking, I was hit by the Muses when I came across my vintage map calendar. It is two years expired but I held onto it knowing that I would find some way to re-purpose its awesomeness. And then it hit me, why not give my white kitchen walls some life.
The first step was to cut out the maps around the image lines
Next I arranged the maps I liked the best in a collage and called on my best friend – double sided tape to bring it all together.
But the collage wasn't enough, I had to pull out the paint for a little extra craftiness
A few foam squares later and I had the perfect piece to make my kitchen map-tastic!
Crafting Fix #8 – Mixed Media Madness
My shining moment as a painter occurred seven years ago in my high school art class. While training our fingers the dexterity required to execute an acrylic painting (remember, this was before text messaging – at one time this skill needed to be developed) we were given the assignment of taking an actual landscape and using its elements to create a different world. By some work of creative cavalcade I turned our school parking lot into an ice skating rink. That brief moment of painting glory has yet to be relived in my adult life, but I decided to bust out the paintbrushes and exercise my acrylic blending skillz to create a new masterpiece.
Lately I've been inspired by mixed medium art. I love how crafty and kitschy it is. At our latest LA art walk I saw this piece that really got my juices flowing:
Can you see the map on the main circle?!?
I <3 maps! My initials spell out MAP. Therefore, ergo, crafting that involves maps make me beyond happy. So, I decided to take a crack at it tonight and here's what I came up with. Certainly not art walk worthy, but I'm sure it will find its way onto some wall in my new apartment…
I Call it "Through the Smog"
Crafting Fix #5- Mommy Day Madness
Everyone who has had the opportunity to meet the Mary knows that she is pretty much the best mom on the planet. She has regaled us over the years with kitschy care packages and stories of her glory days because we all know how life was all so exciting "back in the seventies". So what way to honor the most amazing woman on the planet than with a crafted gift from the heart.
Me and Mary in Malibu
Mary is a simple lady, she doesn't like much flare, but she does love random home goods. How many times have we been in TJMaxx for 2 hours while she scales the home decor aisles like a treasure hunter on a beach with a metal detector. So in honor of spring and my parent's relatively new gazebo, I decided to make a wind chime. I hit the craft store for supplies:
Foundation Supplies:
- wire hanger (white)…cue Mommy Dearest reference
- jewelry wire (blue)
Decorative Supplies:
- seashells
- mirrored mosaic tile
- strand of beads
- glitter doilies
Noise-making supplies:
- wind chime from Big Lots
After gathering all of my supplies I started to make the base – what everything is going to hang from. It is important that the support is there – the wire must be strong enough to hold some weight because the chimes are not light. I was going use only the jewelry wire but decided to go with the wire hanger for the main circle because it was a lot thicker. I used the jewelry wire to form the hanging mechanism.
Base Camp – complete. Make sure to glue supports down when you're satisfied
Next comes the fun part – decorating!!
In order to start bedazling the kitsch out of this wind chime, I hung the base from my fire sprinkler (proceed with caution!). My comforter fell victim to some hot glue, but other than that it was the best way to go about this.
I wanted it to look like I pulled this out of the Pacific Ocean…
What time is it? Glue Gun time!!!
Minnie looks on in horror as I go at my new project…
She sells, sea shells, by the sea shore
I recycled the metal pieces from the store bought wind chime and added them to my own creation.
Frankensteining is always encouraged!
Mirrored pieces add flare while twine helps to keep everything together and properly supported
Sorry this is the best pic I have of the finished product
Remember, social networking while crafting is for advanced students only
Everything was a great success except for the fact that I shipped it out the day before Mothers Day….whoops. Hopefully I can post more pictures once Mary hangs it outside
Happy Mother's Day! Keep it Crafty!

When your core is cold, you're cold. So jump on the warmth train with the Patagonia Women's Down With It Down Vest. Its plush 600-fill goose down insulation and all-recycled outer shell combine to warm you when you need it most. Use the vest as an extra ski layer when your jacket alone just won't cut it, or just zip it up for a chilly day of errands in town. Chevron quilting and non-quilted side panels create a slim fit, and you can pull up the removable fleece-lined hood for extra warmth.

I used this vest for tailgating well into December. Really warm, extremely comfy, the pockets are extremely comfortable for keeping your wallet/keys or your hands warm all day. I don't know if I would take this camping since I don't want the really soft fuzzy parts to get gross. I am 5' 9" 140lb. I have a size SMALL.

I'm trying to decide if I need a S or M. I'm 5'7" and 130 lbs with a B chest... any advice? Thanks!
Wayne Christoffersen, Gearhead
The nature of a vest fits more narrow than most garments, especially around the chest. My guess is you normally rock size small but in this case I would be willing to bet you need to size up to a medium.

Does this down vest come with a bag & how small will it pack down to?
The Down With It Vest is designed as more of a casual style so it doesn't come with a stuff sack or pack down especially small. The Down Sweater Vest from Patagonia however is very packable and will stuff into it's own pocket.

I live by the ocean and it's a little chilly all year round. I removed the hood and wear the vest several times a week over a long sleeve t-shirt. I own the raven color, which is the dark plaid. (I'm keeping the hood for inclement weather) I have a slim build (sz 2) and the xs fits me so well - it's not bulky and it is very figure-flattering. I'm ordering the raw linen color b/c I like the first purchase so much. Another reviewer mentioned the small zippers as a negative - I happen to like them, but they are small.

Will this vest be available again in the blue plaid?
Unfortunately it won't Natalie, that's a past season color of the Down With It Vest that is sold out for good.
Great vest, terrible zipper pulls
LOVE this vest. It will be great for wearing through the fall, into the winter and i'll definitely take it up to the mountains for apres ski. I have the plaid pattern which i think is cute and a little trendy, but not too trendy that i'll only be able to wear it for one season. The biggest issue i have with this vest (and the only reason i didnt rate this purchase a 5) is that the little nubbin zipper pulls on the side pockets are TOTALLY impractical. I have very small hands and have a lot of trouble zipping or unzipping the pockets. I'll probably take this vest to a repair shop to have the originals replaced.

text: What's in a "magic potion"? Well, in Vale Solution it's 26g of SUGAR (nearly 7 teaspoons), 475mg CREATINE, and while I don't remember the specific amount, it was 588% of your dv of Vitamin B. And the directions require you to drink 24oz water before, 16oz of the drink, then another 20oz of water...that's 60oz of fluids (just under 1/2 gallon). Bright yellow pee is cause for your tech to note something odd, whether it's substitution, dilution or another form of adulteration. Why risk it?! You can make this at home!!!! What's in gatorade? Go to wikihow and you'll see a homemade recipe for an electrolytic drink: sugar, baking soda, salt. What about goldenseal? Well, it's a diuretic. Coffee/tea are also diuretics....are you picking up what I'm putting down here?! It's all the SAME as good ol' h20 and the other minerals listed in N2's classic dilution method. Don't waste your money....anyone who tells you they "worked for me" did nothing more than spend $40+++ on sugar and water. A niacin flush can in fact be deadly and it does nothing other than burn the shit out of your body. The ONLY thing that will eliminate THC from your body is time and abstinence. Exercise helps, but you can't speed up something the body isn't going to let go of so easily. Peeps, I know I'm scared of smoking and testing. Read my posts - I'm terrified! But Vale Enterprises (et all) are profiting on your fears. Be smart, abstain, and follow N2's and S2's methods and save yourself the money for lunch at your new job. Oh, and get yourself some test strips...the guy on ebay sells in 1, 5, and 10-packs ALL less than the cost of ONE test from your neighborhood chain. He sells other things, too (sewing stuff, etc) so there is no shame in buying. There's no shame in getting from CVS or Walgreens, either - if you have the guts to buy tampons, condoms, or even laxatives from the pharmacy this should be no different. If you're too young to legally have a credit card then MAYBE you shouldn't be risking your health and physiology with illegal substances. (now stepping down from my soapbox)

It probably won't gross $100 million, or even make theaters, but it's nice to report on a movie isn't a reboot or dulled adaptation. It's downright sublime when that film contains both Christopher Walken and Lenny Kravitz.
The odd pairing will star in Little Rootie Tootie, a film about a retired jazzman (Walken) and his son (Kravitz). Nice to see that Kravitz is harnessing his Hunger Games momentum for good and not evil.
The film will follow the mourning Walken as he must deal with the reappearance of his son and his son's wife, eventually getting plagued with erratic behavior and unease.
Huh. Kudos to this cray-cray casting director for combining two really weird flavors to get us to this.
