Never belong to the clean plate club. When you sit at the table and eat try to push yourself away from the table by leaving something on your plate and try to stop eating before you become stuffed and your body becomes uncomfortable.
If you're interested in decreasing the amount of over-processed foods in your diet, try this tip--avoid eating foods you see advertised on t.v. (Michael Pollen) We all know that fruits and veggies are our best choices in what to eat, but there does not seem to be enough advertising dollars to remind us of this. If you see it advertised on t.v.--from fast food to even some 'nutrition' bars, chances are it's got too much of the bad stuff in it. Try eating as much fresh food as possible.
When I go out to eat, I find it helpful to go straight for the healthiest section of the menu, whether it is the salads or a complete "Light menu." I don't even bother looking at the rest of the menu because that makes things too tempting.Another tip, when eating out with a bunch of people, make sure to order first. That way, if a friend orders a calorie dense, grease dripping delicious cheeseburger, you are not tempted to follow in his footsteps and do the same.
Had problems with flatulence? Tips: 1) Eat SLOWLY and chew your food thoroughly - the faster you eat the more oxygen you swallow. 2) Don't drink through a straw for the same reason. 3) Avoid greasy foods. 4) Take SIPS of a non-carbonated beverage between bites of food. 5) Avoid carbonated drinks. 6) Don't overeat and force your stomach into overdrive. 141

Customer Reviews
Even it they did suck, they are cheap and work. Replacing would be easy. I havn't needed to clean yet but I feel like it'd be a bit weird with the design. only 4 stars because the spacers make them fit weird in certain wheels like my kegels.
Free-spin doesn't mean anything. A unlubricated bearings have a long free spin, but would not do well against dirt or the actual pressure of your weight against them. You want your bearings well lubed, I use 4 drops of speed cream in each one wether it's 7 ball 6 ball ceramic or steel, and they spin for like 1 second but bring me to the finish line with a smooth steezy ride

Behavioural Change through Agri-Environmental Policies ? – A Distance Function based Matching Approach
This empirical study investigates the effects of different agri-environmental schemes on individual producer behaviour. We consider the effects on production intensity, performance and structure for a sample of UK cereal farms for the period 2000 to 2009 and use the policy examples of the Environmental Stewardship Scheme (ESS) and the Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZ). The econometric methodology is based on a directional distance function framework as well as the application of propensity score analysis by the use of matching estimators. We find that both schemes are effectively influencing production behaviour at individual farm level. However, agri-environmental schemes show only very minor effects on the technical and allocative efficiency of farms, hence, we can conclude that farms enrolled in agri-environmental schemes are efficiently adjusting their production decisions given the constraints by the respective scheme. Farms affected by these schemes indeed tend to become less specialised and more diversified with respect to their production structure. A voluntary type agrienvironmental scheme seems to signficantly influence producer behaviour at a far higher scale than a non-voluntary agri-environmental scheme. The methodological novelty of this research lies in the use of a sound production theory based multi-output multi-input approach to disentangle measures for production performance and structure which are then used as indicators for the robust treatment effects' analyses.

Internet Strikes Back
Congress is attempting to repeal the FCC's power to regulate the internet. The actual bill moving through Congress is happening pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (CRA). The CRA allows Congress to overturn regulations passed by federal agencies. In this case, the bill would overturn the FCC's recently announced Net Neutrality regulations. Importantly, the CRA does not just overturn the existing regulations. It also prevents an agency from passing future regulations on the same topic (basically so an agency can't just change a word and re-issue the regulations)
If the proposed bill passes it will not only repeal the FCC's current rules, but also prevent the FCC from making any net neutrality rules in the future. Without government-backed Net Neutrality rules ISPs will be free to pick and choose which websites work and which websites don't.
The Internet Strikes Back is a day – February 17th – where Public Knowledge, among others, is asking the Internet to call your Representative and tell them how important Net Neutrality is.
Go to www.TheInternetStrikesBack.org to find out more and you can sign up to get a text message on the 17th that will automatically connect you with your Representative.

BUZZARDS BAY — Worried that the poster child for good fishery management, the striped bass, might be sliding backward with fishermen potentially catching more fish than the spawning adult fish can replace, fishery managers proposed cutting the quotas for both commercial and recreational fishermen by as much as 25 percent.
The measures are intended to reverse a seven-year trend of declining adult bass population within three years.
Staff from the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, which regulates fishing in state waters from Florida to Maine, and the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries held a public hearing Tuesday night at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy to get public comment on a suite of options to reverse a steady decline in the spawning population over the past seven years.
That has resulted in a 19 percent drop in landings since 2008.
Regulators aired proposals for the next year that included the 25 percent cut in landings as well as other plans that advocated a 17 percent cut, or that phased in a 21 percent reduction in 7 percent increments over three years. Other measures to help achieve these goals included decreasing the daily limit for recreational fishermen to one fish and a variety of options to bump up the minimum size.
The approximately 60 striped bass fishermen who attended the hearing were vocal in their support for quick and effective action.
"There will be economic hardships, but this is not about an economic study, it's about sustaining a fishery, to have it be productive," said Charlie Gregory of Fall River, who fishes commercially from the beach and from a kayak. Like many in the room, Gregory supported the 25 percent cut done in one year.
Striped bass are valuable to both commercial fishermen and recreational anglers. Overfishing and poor environmental conditions, particularly in crucial spawning and nursery areas in the Chesapeake Bay area, led to a steep decline in the species in the 1980s when there was less than 10 million pounds of female striped bass available to spawn.
Strict regulations on both commercial and recreational fishermen helped to bring bass back from historic population lows to historic high levels by 1995 when the species was declared fully recovered. It is now considered one of the great success stories of fisheries management.
Even with the declines, the species is still considered healthy with the amount of spawning female fish six times what it was in the 1980s.
The commercial harvest peaked in 1973 at 15 million pounds, but collapsed to a low of 3.5 million pounds by 1983. Since the species recovered, commercial striped bass quotas have averaged around 7 million pounds.
The recreational fishery also has been catching more fish, although their record keeping is not considered as accurate as their commercial counterparts, with 12.6 million pounds caught in 1995 and a record 29.3 million pounds in 2006.
But, in recent years, the amount of adult fish capable of spawning has been in decline. Scientists think weather and other environmental conditions in the spawning grounds caused several years where relatively few young were produced. Plus, a bacterial disease, mycosis, has also taken a toll on fish in the mid-Atlantic where most of Massachusetts striped bass originate.
The numbers of juvenile fish surviving a year has also been in decline since 2005, although at over 120 million pounds it is far above the 20 million pound low point in 1982.
For recreational fishermen, striped bass have been harder to catch. Unlike the boom years, when many fish were caught and most released, not much is caught beyond the daily limit. The number of fish released alive by recreational fishermen dropped from 23.3 million in 2006 to 5.2 million in 2012.
Although many at the meeting supported reducing the recreational daily limit to one fish, Michael Pierdinock of the Stellwagen Bank Charter Boat Association, representing 130 charter boat captains, said his customers were more about bringing food home and freezing it than trophy fishing and wouldn't come out unless they could get at least two fish a day.
But Patrick Paquette, a charter boat operator out of Hyannis argued that one fish at 28 inches was what rebuilt the fishery and sustained it for a long time.
"We know that one fish at 28 inches works," he said.
DMF Director Paul Diodati, who is also serving as the ASMFC chairman, said the state supports a 25 percent reduction in quotas for next year.
Massachusetts representatives to the Atlantic states commission will digest public comments from the two public hearings Tuesday and another today in Gloucester and a fourth in Quincy on Thursday and will vote on which alternatives to support at the commission meeting in October. The goal is to have the new plan ready for implementation by this January.

Wrestler Rulon Gardner no-shows at Olympic trials weigh-in
Wrestler Rulon Gardner is finished.
Now living in Logan, the legendary former gold medalist did not show up to weigh-in Friday for the U.S. Olympic Trials, ending his attempt to return to his sport and compete at the 2012 London Olympics this summer.
Gardner needed to weigh less than 264.5 pounds to qualify for the trials, and told the Denver Post earlier this week that he was close to making weight.
"I'm disappointed I didn't make the weigh in. I worked hard. I was within five pounds," Garnder said in a statement to USA Wrestling. "I'm glad I did this and have my health back. I'll talk more about my journey tomorrow."
Gardner won gold at the 2000 Sydney Games by shockingly ending Russian Alexander Karelin's 13-year undefeated streak, and retired after earning bronze at the 2004 Athens Games.
His weight eventually ballooned to 474 pounds, before appearing on the "Biggest Loser" reality show and getting down to 289 before quitting the show. He had been training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, hoping for one last shot at the Olympics.

By John Eidelson, Salon
After Wisconsinites submitted signatures to recall their union-busting governor, labor leaders pledged not to settle for just "Anybody But Walker." Last week, the state AFL-CIO made good on that promise. As a string of current and former elected Democrats lined up behind Milwaukee Mayor and Democratic primary front-runner Tom Barrett, the labor federation followed many of its major unions in endorsing former Dane County executive Kathleen Falk. Many labor leaders say Falk is more likely to beat Walker in the recall and reverse his policies once in office. But to get the chance, she'll have to overcome Barrett's 14-point polling lead before the May 8 primary.
Madison Teachers Inc. president John Matthews says the difference between Falk's and Barrett's plans for how to restore workers' collective bargaining is "the key issue" in the primary. Falk, Barrett and the race's two other Democratic candidates all say they support that goal. But even if Democrats retake the Governor's Office and flip the state Senate, they may still have a Republican assembly to contend with. Falk committed early on to veto any budget that doesn't include collective bargaining restoration, a move that SEIU Healthcare Wisconsin vice president Bruce Colburn praises as "very significant." Barrett has said he would pursue the issue on multiple fronts, including calling a special session of the Legislature. Barrett Communications director Phillip Walzak says that a budget showdown would risk leaving the entire Walker budget in place. Falk campaign communications director Scot Ross says that in a special session, Assembly Republicans could easily decline to hold any votes.

Los Angeles hip hop staples S.O.B. - Styles of Beyond return in a major way with their much awaited 3rd album. Executive produced by Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, this project brings a strong barrage of larger-than-life production and undisputed lyricism mixed with the classic raw hip hop sound that the west coast Demigodz squad and Fort Minor frontmen are known for.

This double-disc release showcases not only the album but it also contains a bonus disc featuring the tracks from their previous "Razor Rag" mixtape, minus the DJ shouts and mixing.

|Topical tolerability of salmon calcitonin assessed by mucociliary transport velocity investigation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2242088 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The topical tolerability of an intranasal salmon calcitonin spray preparation, of the excipients alone and of sodium taurocholate has been studied by assessment of the mucociliary transport velocity (MTV) on the frog's palate. The rate of mucus transport was investigated in 3 groups of animals (Rana esculenta; 6 frogs per group) in basal conditions and after a challenge with a salmon calcitonin intranasal spray preparation, with the excipients and with sodium taurocholate, respectively. The salmon calcitonin intranasal spray preparation and the excipients did not affect the mucociliary transport velocity on the frog's palate. On the contrary, sodium taurocholate produced severe impairments in the mucociliary transport velocity and histological lesions of the epithelial layer of the frog's palate. The comparison among the mean values of the mucociliary transport velocity before and after treatments showed a significant difference between controls and sodium taurocholate groups (p less than 0.05) as well as among the groups treated with sodium taurocholate versus salmon calcitonin and versus the excipients alone of the calcitonin preparation (p less than 0.05). These findings provide evidence that the salmon calcitonin intranasal spray preparation tested in the present ex vivo model does not affect the mucociliary transport velocity in the frog's palate, while this is markedly affected by sodium taurocholate. The use of sodium taurocholate as a promoter of absorption in intranasal preparations should thus be reconsidered.

I don't know why, but I never really feel like it's officially summer until after July 4th, for some reason. Maybe I'm in denial until then? I don't know. But now that the Fourth has come and gone, I have to face facts: it's summer, it's hot (as in super hot, I do live in Florida after all), and its time to hit the pool.
So to give summer a high-five the best way I know how, I created a couple of seasonal DIY projects for One Charming Party. One of those projects is this ice cream cone gift topper. It's super easy to make. But the reason why I like this one so much is because it's made with foam...which totally reminds me of the material that those floating pool noodles are made of. I mean, seriously, does it get any more summer-y than that?
Visit One Charming Party for more photos and the full tutorial.

Aw, well thank you Margeaux. I really appreciate that. Happy to have you as a regular reader.
These are so perfect for summer party gifts! And I love that they're made from foam, great idea!

Thanks Kelly. After this project, I love working with those foam sheets. They are so easy to cut and add an interesting texture.papernstitch commented on July 8th, 2013 at 9:44 am
Oh, how cute! I never would have thought to make these out of foam!
Becca recently posted..Weekend Wardrobe: Sunday Stripes
Thanks Becca. Yeah, the foam is so, so easy to use (and super affordable). I'm kind of addicted to it now.papernstitch commented on July 8th, 2013 at 9:48 am
This will make giving my gifts from Venice waay better! But it's already from Venice, so it's good anyway

North Belle Vernon's Graham St. Park safe — for now
North Belle Vernon council President Dennis Simboli on Tuesday backed away – at least for a year – from his plan to close Graham Street Park.
At a special meeting Dec. 27, Simboli informed council he was going to delay the plan.
"I honestly was looking for a roomful of people that were going to come express their opinions on this, because this is the place to do it," Simboli said of council chambers. "But I have decided to pull the idea off the table."
Simboli said three things are needed to make the park special again.
"First, we have the cameras. We have people that donated money to get them, so let's get them installed," Simboli said of security cameras obtained with private dollars. "Hopefully that will work to curb the vandalism that's going on.
"Second, we have to have the public's participation. If they see something, they have to call 911.
"And, third, the police department ... The police have to be doing their job. I think it will work, but we have to have all three of those things."
Simboli said his former plan – to sell the park to a private developer and build another park elsewhere – was designed to ease debt.
"I figured we'd have a lot more people here tonight to discuss this," he said.
Council Vice President Craig Ambrose and Councilwoman Betty Shine-Hill said many people originally planned to attend the Tuesday meeting.
They apparently stayed home after Simboli told his council colleagues he would end his quest to close the park.
"It spread like wildfire after the remarks at the last meeting," Ambrose told Simboli. "People were told, and I guess they thought they didn't need to come now."
During his report, Mayor Ed Lyons was adamant police are doing their jobs, in general and when it comes to the park.
"A lot is being done," Lyons told council. "I'd serve in a foxhole with any one of our officers anytime. If it was an easy job, everyone could do it.
"All I can say is that if anyone sees something going on, call 911. I think the 911 system is the best thing that Westmoreland County has ever done."
Lyons said the department responded to 1,591 incidents in 2012 and received 2,060 calls from 911 dispatchers.
Shine-Hill asked if callers can remain anonymous when reporting possible crimes.
"Absolutely," Lyons replied and deferred the question to police Officer Ron VanScyoc.
"True anonymity is dependent on the police getting enough information on their own," VanScyoc said. "If not, then we can't proceed without that anonymous person."
Lyons urged residents to call, no matter where they see criminal activity.
"Pick up the phone and call 911," Lyons said.
A resident and a former resident talked about the park.
"If you decide to eliminate the park, I would ask that you don't sell the land," resident Mark Frederick said. "Lease it, so the money comes back to the borough."
Real estate professional Bonnie Halinka said the odds of a restaurant coming to the Graham Street Park site are slim.
"I have no answers for you on the problems at the park," Halinka said. "As a realtor, though, a commercial enterprise would rather go to other areas where there is more traffic.
"I love this town. I sell properties here, because I want people to stay here. Any of those business owners on Broad Avenue can tell you the habits of drug dealers and users.
"Try the cameras, get the state attorney general's office involved and get those people out of the town."
Lyons defended some people who congregate in the park.
"Everyone that wears a hoodie is not a gangster," Lyons said. "Young people congregate at the park because that's where their buddies are. We had that problem years ago when teenagers hung out at Hagan's. That's where their friends go."
Lyons said police know the identities of many of the drug-dealers.
"It's not like police can do what they do on TV and just kick in a door at this house and go in," he said.
"The fact of the matter is that the laws aren't always on the side of those abiding by them or trying to enforce them. My biggest grievance is that I'm not satisfied with the laws."
Lyons said North Belle Vernon is not "pure."
"But are we having the same problems as other municipalities?" he asked. "It's prescription drugs and heroin, those are the biggest problems that are everywhere."
In other business, council agreed to continue participation in the Mon Valley Progress Council's Intermunicipality Co-op at a rate of $913.83.
• Public Works chairman Jon Wasicek said the state Department of Environmental Protection finished filling the void that caused mine subside in the Green Street area. Wasicek said 74 truckloads of a sand-and-concrete mixture were needed to fill the 738 cubic-foot area.
• Shine-Hill said plans for the 2013 Easter Egg Hunt are being made. The date will be announced later, she said. It is expected to be held in early March.

text: Junior Lake finished 4-for-5 with a two-run homer and three RBI in his fourth career game, as the Cubs clipped the Diamondbacks 4-2 in the opener of a four-game series at Chase Field. Dioner Navarro added a solo shot for the Cubs, who are 2-and-2 since the All-Star break. Chris Rusin got the start in place of Matt Garza, who was traded to Texas before the game. Rusin allowed two runs on two hits and two walks in five-plus innings for his first win. Kevin Gregg closed it out for his 19th save. Martin Prado and Paul Goldschmidt plated a run each for the D'backs, who are now a half-game behind the Dodgers for first place in the NL West. It ended a stretch of 62 straight days atop the division for Arizona. Tyler Skaggs, who was recalled from Single-A Visalia before the game, allowed three runs in six frames as he slipped to 2-and-2.

A law degree and student loans
Chris Farrell
Dec 28, 2011 I have both private and federal student loans from undergrad and law school... I was wondering if you have any advice as to how best to manage this debt? I'm 28 and single so my financial obligations are otherwise relatively minimal for now, but due to my debt-to-income ratio, I've been unable to really lay away much in the way of personal savings in the 3+ years I've been out of school, let alone start saving for retirement. I'd really appreciate any advice you might be able to give to someone in my situation. Thank you! Kira, New York, NY
A retirement savings catch-up
Chris Farrell
Dec 27, 2011 I am a 58-year-old female, currently employed. I've got approx $100,000 saved in a 401(k) plan. I've had to take out a student loan to cover the cost of one year toward my MBA, which I have completed. Because of the student loan, I've decreased the 401(k) contribution -- normally 25 percent of my pay -- to 6 percent. I'll have the student loan paid off by April 2012. Since I am worried sick that I won't have enough when I retire, do you have suggestions about how to catch up? Danica, Houston, TX

Cooks favor this fast-growing upright form of perennial rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis "Tuscan Blue") over the trailing variety because of its more flavorful needle-like leaves, which cover the plant all year long. Fresh or dried, the leaves enhance breads and herb butters and complement the flavors of roasted and grilled chicken, lamb and fish. Rosemary tea offers restorative properties that energize the body. The herb's vivid blue flowers attract honeybees to the garden in spring and summer.

I'm so happy you like this soup. it's definitely my favorite right now!
It has been so cold here lately. Days where it "warms up" to temperatures in the 30′s, but the sun is bright and shining, which only makes you feel worse because it doesn't look like it should be cold at all. Days where you need warm, fuzzy socks on your feet at all times. Kids are going bonkers because they feel cooped up, and quite frankly so do you. Add howling winds and early morning snow to top it off and you have got soup weather on your hands.
But you don't want just any soup. You want something with a little spice. Something that isn't just a bowl of warmth, but something that will really heat you up a spoonful at a time. And it also needs to be something that will not require you to go out in that freezing cold-howling wind-sun shining weather to purchase any crazy ingredients.
Chicken Tortilla Soup
adapted from This Week for Dinner
1 onion, finely chopped
olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
1 - 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 - 14.5 oz. can corn, drained and rinsed
2 large chicken breasts
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 lime (one extra for garnish)
1 handful cilantro, chopped
4-5 corn tortillas, cut into strips
1 avocado, diced
dash cayenne pepper
1-2 tsp chili powder
1-2 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
cheddar or jack cheese, shredded
sour cream
Saute onion in olive oil until soft, then add garlic, cayenne, chili powder, and cumin. Saute until fragrant (a minute or two). Add chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Add tomatoes, corn, black beans.
Grill or pan fry chicken spiced with cayenne, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cut up or shred chicken and add it to the soup. Try the soup and add more seasonings according to taste, if needed. Add lime juice and cilantro.
Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a large fry pan over medium-high heat, crisp up tortilla strips. Add salt.
Serve soup garnished with your choice of cheese, sour cream, tortilla strips, fresh cilantro, avocado, and a lime wedge.
Note: If spicy isn't your thing, start with the smaller amounts of seasonings listed and adjust according to taste as needed. You can also substitute tortilla chips if you don't have corn tortillas on hand.
Yeah — tortilla soup has this way of just hitting the spot, doesn't it? Come to think of it, we haven't made any yet this season — gotta get on that!
Love your soup. I make a veggie tortilla soup that is really good too. I love all of the fun toppings you can add!
Mmmmm…the flavors in this sound perfect!!I'm totally loving the green bowl by the way. So cute!!
I love tortilla soup! I agree – sometimes just the warmth of the soup alone isn't enough – you need that spice to really heat you up! Yum!
LOOKS SOOOO GOOD!http://katiechangesforkatie.blogspot.com/2009/12/mia-photo-update-new-contest-happy.htmlNew blog post + new music! New giveaway tomorrow. Woop woop!Katie
Love tortilla soup, but I never think to add beans – great idea! My kids can never keep their hands off of those tortilla strips, either.
Tortilla soup is one of my favorites and I rarely add beans to it. I'll have to try that next time. great recipe!
What a wonderful recipe; simple to make and all that is needed to a touch of creamy avocado – the ones from Mexico are soooo good these days
This soup is AMAZING! It tastes a lot like the tortilla soup at Qdoba which I love. This one is a definite keeper. I just wish the rest of my family would eat it!
I recently made this soup for my family. WOW…this soup lives up to the title "best tortilla soup made at home"

LUANG PRABANG, Laos—The humorous tag for Lao PDR is "Lao—please don't rush," but after two days on a boat, I found myself unable to slow my bolt through the Lao People's Democratic Republic, eager as I was to get to Vietnam. But that didn't stop me from spending almost a week in the "mysterious" and "forgotten" land of Laos (as the travelers' narratives usually call it.)
After our bus ride down the river, our somewhat irritable and frazzled collection of river rats pulled up to the wharf in Luang Prabang, Lao's old royal capital until the communists took over in 1975. The golden stupa on the top of Mount Phou Si glowed warmly in the dying light of the day, while the usual touts tried to attract us to various hotels and guesthouses. Lots of offers of "cheap rooms!" and "free wi-fi!" surrounded me, but ignoring them, I trudged up the hill and made my way to the Hotel of the Trois Nagas, a boutique joint that was a bit overpriced ($200/night! In Laos!) but a lovely tonic to two days on the Mekong.
I chose the Trois Nagas because it was down the street from the Wat Sen, one of the many Buddhist temples that has made Luang Prabang a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (more on this later.) In the wee, early hours, monks and novices, clad in burnt sienna robes and bright yellow sashes, embark on the traditional procession through town, while Buddhist faithful kneel to donate handfuls of sticky rice and other food into monks' alms bowls. I was eager to see the the monk's silent procession down Sakkhaline Street, so I roused myself at 5:30 a.m.
It lived up to its billing as a mystical, spiritual moment. As the hour progressed, the blackness of night gave way to the cool blues of the early dawn and then, off in the cool gloom, a splash of orange against the darkness. The first in a line of monks and novices, some barely big and old enough to carry their bowls, trooped down the street from the temples, the only sound the padding of their bare feet on the concrete sidewalks—and the clicking of camera shutters. I certainly wasn't alone in capturing the moment in pixels.
I worried about not having a donations; I didn't feel quite right about taking photographs and giving nothing back, even if I'm not Buddhist. So I paid a street vendor for a packet of sticky rice to give to the monks. Then I asked her to handle the donations so I could take pics. She seemed confused, then delighted, as she was probably going to do this anyway, and she got a few thousand spare kips for doing what she did every morning. So she got cash, was able to make merit, as the Buddhists say, and I got to take pictures while feeling OK about it. Win-win, right?
Not really. Apparently, paying a street vendor for the monk's food is one of the most exploitive thing one can do in Luang Prabang. (I should really read Lonely Planet more closely.) The monks don't eat the food provided by the vendors, as they're not sure of the sincerity in the giving or, as important, of its quality. Lonely Planet reports monks sometimes falling ill from the food given by tourists. Some of the monasteries have gone so far as to suggest ending the practice, but in true heavy-handed fashion, the government in Vientiane said if the monks did that, they would simply replace them with locals in robes to keep the tourist revenue coming in.
The monks have, so far, acquiesced, but they must feel like a zoo attraction at times. I tried to keep a respectful distance while photographing, but I couldn't help but notice a resigned look on many of their faces as they accepted the sticky rice packets from a line of tourists who appeared to be Chinese. This line of older women had been organized by another photographer who had no compunctions about inserting himself into the procession, or into the monks' faces. At the end, despite a nice breakfast with Ted and Bethany, I felt distinctly uneasy about my own role in this. Were my actions encouraging the commodification of what for many is a genuine act of worship?
Later, the next day, I was somewhat put at ease after my conversation with Jailee, a 17-year-old novice monk I met after I had climbed the hundreds of steps to the top of Mount Phou Si. When I spotted him, Jailee was studying Buddhist literature in the shade of a little pagoda. I asked if I could take his portrait. He readily agreed and we struck up a conversation that ranged from the monks' procession to travel to the state of completion of the new World Trade Center in New York. In fact, that was his first question to me after discovering I had lived in New York.
"Is the new building at the site of 9/11 completed yet?" he asked.
I was taken aback. No one, and I mean no one, had asked me if 1 WTC has been completed yet. What was New York like? Was I there on 9/11? That's what I usually get. I confessed I didn't quite know but thought it was one or two years away from completion. He seemed to chew on that for a moment, and then wanted to know what was taking so long.
"That's what everyone was asking, too," I replied. Jailee laughed at the joke.
I asked him if he felt the tourists taking pictures of him and his brothers in the early mornings was exploitive. Did he feel like a zoo animal?
"No," he said, after what I had quickly come to realize was his customary thoughtful pause before answering a question. "We are happy to show people our religion. But this is our faith. It's not a show."
While that wasn't exactly unambiguous, he did clarify that the food donated by the faithful (and the tourists) was not the only food the monks ate. They received many donations at the various temples and monasteries in town and, in fact, mostly ate that. I showed him some of the images I'd taken the previous morning (see below) and he gave his approval.
Leaving Jailee to his studies, I wandered further up Mount Phou Si until encountering a group of slovenly Brits at the very top in the shadow of the stupa drinking and spilling Beer Lao, talking loudly about their exploits the night before and, in general, earning disapproving scowls from the several Laotians who had come up the mountaintop to pay their respects. Hard to blame the locals. I was deeply embarrassed, and made every effort to distance myself from the jerks.
But their behavior brings up an interesting thought about Luang Prabang. It's a World Heritage Site, which UNESCO says was awarded for being an "outstanding example of the fusion of traditional architecture and Lao urban structures with those built by the European colonial authorities in the 19th and 20th centuries." But in truth, it feels a bit like Lao Disneyland, with acres of street merchants setting up shop in a picturesque night market selling, literally, tons of tourist junk that probably no one in Laos actually uses. Exquisitely and identically carved wooden elephant heads? Check. Snakes artfully arranged in a bottle? Sure. T-shirts that say "I (heart) Laos"? Seriously?
Make no mistake, Luang Prabang is lovely, charming and probably fully deserving of its World Heritage Site status. But let's not kid ourselves. This is not authentic Lao PDR. I would venture that most Laotians don't live in lovingly restored French colonial estates with lots of teak wood for floorboards. And they sure don't spend the majority of their time lounging in French cafés along Sakkhaline Street. The per capita GDP is just $2,768, according to the International Monetary Fund, sandwiching it between Pakistan and Sudan. The river villages with the children in the dirty clothes and bare feet is more indicative of the "real" Lao PDR than some cosseted touristic city.
I'm just not sure what to make of it all, because here is a genuine cultural site that's been made tourist-friendly and sanitized. For instance, there seems to be no real explanation at any of the historical sites as to what happened to the Lao royal family after the communists took over in 1975. Spoiler alert: While seizing power, the Pathet Lao, backed by the North Vietnamese Army, arrested the entire royal family and sent them to a "re-education" camp where they later died from malnutrition and lack of medical care.
So, to sum up, Luang Prabang, the former royal capital, is being developed as a tourist destination by the very government that killed off the royal family. If this strikes you as a little cynical, well, welcome to the club. Along with government pressure on the monks and the role it had in killing off the very embodiment of the culture it's now promoting, I can't help but feel complicit in some kind of artificial reality. I'm not quite sure what the proper response to this bit of cognitive dissonance should be, other than possibly boycott visiting Luang Prabang. However, most of the merchants in Luang Prabang were like merchants everywhere: dependent on their customers, and it's (probably) not their fault the government is cashing in on UNESCO's imprimatur. So that seems like punishing the people who deserve it the least.
After a couple of days in Luang Prabang, and letting these thoughts rattle around my head, I kind of wished I'd taken the blue pill. So, to clear my head and get my visa for Vietnam, I hopped on a bus to the sleepy capital of Vientiane.

Part-time jobs are propping up the nation's labor market recovery this year, and the summer slowdown in Southwest Florida may help the trend take hold here, analysts say.
In the first six months of 2013, part-time jobs held by people who want to work full-time grew by 550,000, while full-time jobs grew by just 130,000, according to an analysis of federal labor data by Michael Hicks, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at Ball State University.

NOAA's National Climatic Data Center found that July 2012 was the hottest month in recorded history for the contiguous states. It also found that, so far, 2012 is the United States' hottest year since instrument records began in 1895.
Climate Central researched which state broke or tied the most high-temperature records in 2012 and also had the largest difference in the ratio between record high and record low temperatures January through August. Surprisingly, that state was Wisconsin!
We set more temperature records - 1,345 - than any other state. We also recorded 41 times more record high temperatures than record low temperatures. We set an average of 14 new records at every recording station in Wisconsin. And, we didn't just barely edge past the old records either, we blew them away! Our new records were an average of 4.4 degrees hotter!
For Wisconsin, global warming is no longer a matter of idle speculation. Though it's only in its beginning stages, we've had a taste of what it will do to Wisconsin trees, crops, animals, water supplies, etc. We've seen why we need to stop the buildup of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.
So, I urge you to do two things: First, let Ron Kind and Sean Duffy know you support the "Save Our Climate Act" (H.R. 3242) that would establish a carbon fee and dividend - taxing carbon-based fuels when they're imported from other countries or brought out of the ground here and then distributing the revenue from that tax equally to all Americans.
Second, before you vote Nov. 6, carefully consider whether to cast your ballot for Gov. Mitt Romney, the candidate who treated global warming as a joke at his party's convention, or for President Barack Obama, the candidate who, at his party's convention, pledged to reduce global warming. Which candidate has your best interests and the best interests of your children and grandchildren at heart?

Hi All,
I'm steadily sewing along on a Reversible Tote for my first sewing project, and it's going. The other day I got to the part where I had to sew the velcro on for the pockets. That's when things became a nightmare. I explained my woes to a coworker and he suggested I buy some feet for my machine. He even showed me some, but didnt know the correct name for them. So I came here to ask, what are some of the feet I should have for my sewing machine, granted they fit. If you can suggest some feet, I'll look the next time I go to my part store. He already suggested a zipper foot, is there anymore out there I will need?
There are so many feet that can be purchased for almost all machines. So, I guess what I'm saying is that you have to buy what you think you need.
You should definitely have a zipper foot. Do you quilt?? in that case you would probably want a walking foot. Do you ever sew on fabrics like leather, pleather, vinyl - then you would want a teflon foot. And, as they say - the beat goes on.
I'm setting up a link for you to check out some presser feet on the Singer site that will give you some good insight in some of the wonderful presser feet available for almost all machines. I don't have a Singer either - it's just that most of these feet are available for almost all machines.
Presser Foot Information
------What is Maxine saying??
"I don't iron. If I'm not wrinkle-free why should my clothes be."
It really depends a lot on what kind of sewing you do. Presser feet can get expensive, so don't buy everything right away.
Having said that, I agree that you should have a zipper foot. It's useful anytime you want to sew along the edge of something, not just a zipper. You will need a buttonhole foot if you're going to make buttonholes. I think I would consider those the most essential after the all-purpose one you presumably already have.
The other ones I use the most are a straight stitch 1/4" foot and an open toe foot (so you can see exactly what you're doing).
And the stitch in the ditch foot is a gem and well worth the price.
It's funny how dogs and cats know the inside of folks better than other folks do, isn't it?

Helpful Machine Feet

Thanks Everyone. Deepika, I will use the search feature next time, I was just so anxious and the obvious escaped me.
If the velcro is giving you fits because it shifting, the best thing I have found is Wash away wonder tape to hold it in place until I get it stitched. Also, a glue stick might help. I find it impossible to sew velcro when pinned on. Just won't be still.
Just be sure to let it dry well first so your needle won't gum up. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier.
Newbie here. Which foot will fit for a straight stitch on a serger, and do i have to readjust it in anyway?

Five Surprisingly Great Cover Songs for Halloween
Today is Halloween! A night of ghouls, goblin, tricks, treats and genuine spooktacular mystery! While tonight will be full of the joys of pretending that we're someone we're not, why not let the thrill of imitation runneth over into our Halloween playlists? We all love a good cover, but sometimes the wrong cover can be scarier than the last haunted house on the left of Elm Street. But in the tradition of true trick or treating, we've assembled five great cover songs from the unlikeliest of sources. Here are five unexpectedly great covers to make sure your monster mash is a certified graveyard smash!

Dope - "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" 2000
The 2000 film adaptation of the Bret Easton Ellis novel American Psycho combined the gut-wreching horror of callous murder with the spine-tingling scares of 1980s yuppie excess. While the soundtrack is perhaps most known for the film's trademark Huey Lewis and the News scene, the soundtrack boasted a cover of Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Around (Like a Record)" by turn-of-the-century nu-metal outfit Dope. The reptilian vocals make the sleek sloshing '80s shine an absolutely addicting listen.
Don Ho - "Shock the Monkey" 2002
Peter Gabriel's one of pop music's all time more enjoyable weirdos whose music is fulfilling on several enriching levels. While we were treated to a fun albeit unorthodox cover already in the 2000s by Coal Chamber and Ozzy Osbourne, why not crank up the weirdness with a cover by "Tiny Bubbles" Hawaiian legend and Hoku's father Don Ho? Yes, a Don Ho cover of "Shock the Monkey" exists, and it is glorious. Revel in the sleepy sleaziness that somehow absolutely excels.
