Broiled Salmon with Asparagus and Shiitake Mushrooms
If using farmed salmon, broil it for 4 to 5 minutes.
Mushroom Recipes
In Season: Almost all mushrooms available at supermarkets are cultivated, not wild, and are available year-round. The most common varieties of cultivated mushroom are mild-tasting white button, flavorful cremini, earthy portobello, and savory shiitake.What to Look For: Look for firm, smooth, and dry caps. Avoid damp, pitted, or dried-out mushrooms.How to Store: Refrigerate loose mushrooms (unrinsed) in a paper bag, and containers of mushrooms in their original package. Use within a few days of purchase.
Roasted Mushroom Tartines with Avocado
Skip the usual sauteing and try roasting mushrooms for these clever toasts. It intensifies the fungi's earthy flavor and seals in the juices, rendering them a perfect complement to creamy avocado.
Shiitake Mushrooms and Brown Rice En Papillote
Detox Cred: Long used for healing in Asia, meaty shiitakes are one of the best foods to eat for health, boasting a special combination of antioxidants that boost immune function and lower oxidative stress in the body. Try substituting mushrooms for meat in meals -- it slashes calories and improves your well-being without leaving you hungry, according to a study in the journal Appetite.

Oak File Cabinet - Part II
49 comments:
I love it as a shelf. I would have never thought of that! Good job!ReplyDelete
OOOh totally better!!!ReplyDelete
I would keep the shelf hands down :)
They both look great, but the shelf is awesome and you can always find another base for the suitcases!ReplyDelete
wow! You are SOOO creative, so glad I stumbled upon your blog, very inspiring! I think the shelf is much better! I never would have thought of that, but now I am going to be keeping my eyes peeled for one!ReplyDelete
no contest the shelf...just put an small overnight suitcase in the hole!ReplyDelete
boy your good girl!!! VERY INVENTIVE.. I LOVE IT!!ReplyDelete
Oh, I love the shelf! Much better than a night stand. Very creative,ReplyDelete
shelf. it looks grand.ReplyDelete
thanks for sharing youre a junkin genius!
the shelf idea is truly inspired...now I will be on the lookout for an file drawer...wonder if an old rusty metal one would look just as good...!ReplyDelete
It needs to continue its second life as a shelf! Amazing how wonderful it looks on the wall.ReplyDelete
You never cease to amaze me! What'cha going to hang from the drawer pull?ReplyDelete
Love the shelf!ReplyDelete
Waiting to see what you come up with for Cycle 3!! I know you will think of something!ReplyDelete
I'm really really lovin the shelf, I would of never thought to use it for a shelf, you inspire me...can't wait to see part III.ReplyDelete
Hi Jane, Oh, I love the new shelf. I loved the idea from yesterday too, but with your display it looks fantastic. You have such great vision, you amaze me. Looking forward to part 3. Tamara xReplyDelete
I am not so sure I would have bought it yesterday for $5.oo, but today I would have paid $50.....What a great eye! fabulous use!ReplyDelete
I voted wall shelf too! Gosh you always inspire me!ReplyDelete
I love it as a shelf, and the best part is that you can easily change your mind and use it for a nightstand! Maybe a little train case in the opening? I'm sure you'll think of something!ReplyDelete
I like it as a shelf!ReplyDelete
You can put anything in that hole.
I can't wait to see what you do there.
The shelf is great but I like being able to see the front face of the drawer, so I am going to vote nightstand.ReplyDelete
Love the shelf. I love it!ReplyDelete
The shelf is fabulous ~ it gets my vote!ReplyDelete
I think you could still use the base under your suitcase...and I like Prior's idea of putting a small suitcase inside!
Have a great weekend!
Hi Jane,ReplyDelete
Only you could find so many uses for a file cabinet drawer. I love it as a shelf too.
The shelf gets my vote and of course, I can't wait to see what you'll do with the base.ReplyDelete
Great idea Jane! Way to think outside of the box (or drawer)! I love all the old cameras, it looks sooo nice!ReplyDelete
Oh Jane you will come up with something for the big old hole! I can't wait!ReplyDelete
Love the shelf!! I like the nightstand also, but keep the shelf and fill that hole with something...I know you will find the perfect thing as always.ReplyDelete
That's it! Perfect! Love it! You are just too clever! It is so unique that way!ReplyDelete
I like it as a shelf! You really know how to think outside the (file) box!!! :)ReplyDelete
oooo I do so like the wall display. Very classy way to display a collection :-)ReplyDelete
Jocelyn @
I sound like a broken record, but you are so talented! Love both ideas.ReplyDelete
Hands down the shelf however it did look great with the luggageReplyDelete
hope you find another one someday
You are too clever Jane!ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend!
It makes a wonderful shelf! You are the creative Queen!!!ReplyDelete
Happy Weekend!
I have come up with some unique ideas for shelves myself, but I have to admit that a file cabinet drawer would not have been one of them! Much more interesting than the nightstand, but maybe you could find an old basket to put in there instead.ReplyDelete
I love both of your ideas, Jane! The drawer makes a great shelf. You could still use the cabinet frame to hold you suitcases and close the hole with a picture or shutter or something else.ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend!
The shelf is very very cool! I like the drawer as a nightstand with the suitcases on top, but you can always use the frame and just attach an interesting piece of wood (or something even more creative that your awesome brain cells will surely think up!) to it to keep the nightstand idea. Looking forward to see what you come up with!ReplyDelete
Hi Jane,ReplyDelete
I Love Part Deux!
You have to keep it as a wall hanging shelf unit, it's perfect and looks fab u lous!
When do we get to see Part Trois?
Wow I love both ideas but I think I would use it as a wall hanging then thrift some more and make a night stand you are so creative!!!ReplyDelete
Love the shelf! Probably because you styled it so cute with all of your vintage goodies. Hope your weekend is going well.ReplyDelete
Jane, You always surprise and impress me with your creativity! I love this.ReplyDelete
This is SO cool, Jane. You really have a way of thinking "out of the box" or cabinet in this case. When I saw it as a nightstand I was like "Oh yea!", but then as a shelf it's really a one-of-a-kind piece.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you're husband is doing so well with his new "vehicle". You guys make an awesome couple!
xoxo Debra
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I think a piece of burlap fabric would look nice strung across the opening of the cabinet, with a rod pocket sewn in so it can slide open and closed... the drawer looks too nice on the wall to take it down now! :)ReplyDelete
oooo...that is a tough decision but I agree it looks great on the wall, besides now you have another "decorating challenge" to solve...which we know is so much fun :) Can't wait to see what you come up with! LaurelReplyDelete
Hi Jane!~ I too have been so behind in my blog reads. I always enjoy my visits here. You are so creative and have the neatest things. Love these cameras, and I think the shelf is awesome. So nice to change it up. I look forward to seeing your for the next magazine copy cat challenge. Happy 4th to you and your family!ReplyDelete
Love the shelf. What a wonderful idea!ReplyDelete
Just love this!ReplyDelete
That is just too cool. Now I'm gonna have to go out and get the one I have in the Barn and use it the same way. Thanks for the idea.ReplyDelete

For some reason, some time this weekend Consumerism Commentary reverted to the default WordPress display style. To anyone who viewed the site and was slightly confused, I apologize. It took me by surprise as well. Here's what was happening this past week across the MoneyBlogNetwork and beyond:

Mighty Bargain Hunter warns people not to get over-educated. Can one be "over-educated?" Knowledge, especially scientific/empirical knowledge (the basis of advanced learning in the modern world), is a quest that should last a lifetime. The trick is to get someone else to pay for your education.
Five Cent Nickel describes how he chose between two insurance agents — one picked up the phone, one did not.
Blueprint for Financial Prosperity asks for comments on the $100 gas rebate proposal that's circulating the Senate.

Clover Park Technical College
McGavick Conference Center, Building 23
4500 Steilacoom Blvd SW, Lakewood WA
At first, this annual early fall event, focused on content an instructor might need to know to be successful on the first day, first week, and first year in the classroom. Based on attendee feedback and recent research on the shifting nature of the faculty role, the Institute was redesigned to exposed faculty members to core concepts and principles that will serve them in their development as instructional leaders over the full span of their career.
The Institute curriculum is grounded in competencies selected from the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) Competencies for Community College Leaders (2nd edition) chosen for their transferability to the faculty role in Washington's community and technical colleges.
The Institute is an orientation to the:
The word "new" deptends on context. For the "New" Faculty Institute, the defined audience is faculty members in Washington state who are new to a college, new to the system, or transitioning to a new role (i.e. a tenure-track position, department or committee chair, assessment or faculty development lead, etc.). Faculty who teach academic transfer courses, at this point in their careers, generally have a minimum of three and up to twenty years of documented success in the classroom.
Recently hired faculty with no experience teaching should consider attending Boot Camp, an intensive and hands-on course for professional-technical faculty who have limited or no teaching experience.
In the Washington state community and technical colleges, the majority of the workforce consists of faculty, situating both full-time and adjunct faculty as keepers and drivers of an institutional culture geared towards achieving high and continually improving student success.
While many schools provide professional development opportunities for faculty around teaching and learning and recognize that excellence in teaching can be continually improved through professional learning opportunities, it has become more and more apparent that teaching and on-going disciplinary expertise are not the only responsibilities in which faculty members must engage. Shared governance provides faculty with opportunity to become college and state leaders through formal and informal leadership positions. However, most faculty have no access to professional learning experiences designed to foster their agency and authority as leaders in instructional innovation.
Faculty attendees frequently identify the tradition of lunch with college presidents, vice presidents of instruction, and deans as an event highlight. This year's Lunch with Administrators will be at noon on Friday, Sept. 4, in the atrium of the McGavick Conference Center. The cost of the lunch for administrators is $20. Checks should be made payable to SBCTC and mailed to SBCTC, PO Box 42495, Olympia WA 98504-2495. Payment cannot be accepted at the Institute.
The registration fee for this event is $125. The fee includes a light breakfast on Day 1, a full breakfast on Day 2, lunch on both days, break refreshments, and Institute materials. Registration deadline for the 2015 Institute is August 25. Checks should be made payable to SBCTC and mailed to SBCTC, PO Box 42495, Olympia WA 98504-2495. Payment cannot be made by credit card nor can it be accepted at the Institute.
Each Washington community and technical college has a primary contact that coordinates new faculty registrations for their campus. Faculty interested in attending the Institute should contact their primary campus contact.
By August 25 the primary contact from each institution will email Jackie Eppler-Clark a list with participant names, college email address, their disciplines, and any special dietary needs.

We design and build electric cars from the ground up
Rensselaer Electric Vehicle (REV) is a student organization for the design of electric vehicles at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The team, formerly known as the RPI Solar Car Racing Team, has competed in the Shell Eco-marathon since 2011. We have built three cars since we were founded, and in 2014 we hope to compete in a new category, Urban Concept.
Our two departments collaborate to create the best possible product
The mechanical team designs the body, chassis, and mechanical systems of our car. They use software such as Solidworks to aid with design, and to vusialize the final project. A lot a machining is done in-house, using RPI's machine shops.
The electrical team creates systems to control the car. They use control hardware such as Arduinos and Rasperry Pi's. Software development in done with C, Python, and bash scripts. They use KiCAD for schematic and PCB design.
We try to provide a welcoming and open environment
Our club has a strong focus on older members working with new members, and helping incoming students along. We provide opportunities for new students to get hands-on experiance quickly, as well as teach them basic design principles and practices. We meet in Ricketts 212 Tuesdays from 7-8 and Saturdays from 12-3.

RE Who is CrazyAssVato
I mean who is the guy? He barely comments anything and nobody cares if he does. He always gets thumbs down. i mean come on, nobody knows who he is. He uploads gayass media which shows his age (12). Why does everyone hate him for? I mean he is just a kid guys. He could upload the best media all day and not get a feature, not to mention he barely has any friends or subscribers.
So here is my question to you.... who the hell is CrazyAssVato?!

Filed under: Steady Bootleggin',Tragedy Special
Written by: Robbie Ettelson
1993 was not a good year for rap. Shitty Onyx and Das-Efx clones clogged record shelves, and major labels began their attempt to kill off vinyl by limiting many albums to small promotional runs on wax. Sure, we had quality releases such as Midnight Marauders, Enter The 36 Chambers and Enter The Stage to keep us entertained, but they were the exception rather than the rule.
Tragedy's long delayed second album went through a few changes before it was released, as the "Cop Killer" fiasco resulted in the song "Bullit" being removed, while sample clearence issues saw Large Pro's excellent "Da Funk Mode" removed. Trag's vocal style had also changed to reflect the times, but it came off a little stitled as he adopted a stop-start, Shout Rap delivery that was a step backward from his first album. Marley Marl left production duties in the hands of his right-hand man K-Def for much of the album, although it's been rumoured that he remixed many of Marley's original tracks for some reason.
This is pretty much the least essential release in the Intelligent Hoodlum's catalogue, and despite a couple of nice remixes on the singles, much of the material on "Saga of a Hoodlum" is forgettable, especially the Mario Van Peebles commissioned "Posse (Shoot 'Em Up)". "Grand Groove" is notable as it marked Trag's first attempt at addressing personal loss – the death of his grandmother – in an honest and sincere manner, a skill which seems to elude most tough guy rappers. More recently, he recorded a couple of equally effective dedications to his deceased mother, and it's this ability to wear his heart on his sleeve that puts Tragedy a notch above the competition.
"Death Row" is short track, and half of it's an introductory skit, but the beat is dope and Trag keeps the vocal performance "in the pocket", making it one of the stronger selections on the album. Since I already covered the original "Funk Mode" on the old Steady Bootleggin' site, I've included the LP mix, which features the well-worn "Pot Belly" loop. Not a patch on the Johnny "Guitar" Watson version, but still worth checking out.
Saga of A Hoodlum was released by A&M subsidiary Tuff Break,
and only a very small run of promo vinyls were originally produced, but it was recently bootlegged in Japan with an altered tracklisting which includes a few of the remixes and original versions, which is good news if you really want it on wax and don't feel like shelling out $100.

I agree with Lotuz, 1993 was a great year, and a good year for ex juice crew members Big daddy Kane and Masta Ace who each released an excellent album, the BDK missing on lotuz' listComment by GregO 10.12.05 @
As I said in the second part of the opening paragraph, there were some quality releases, but there was also a lot of annoying singles from one-shot wonders, gimmicky vocal styles and awful shouted chorus to wade through to get to the good shit.Comment by Robbie 10.12.05 @
the BDK missing on lotuz' list
Yes, the list above is an extract from my CD list and 'Looks Like A Job For…' I only have on tape. That one will be added to the CD list soon.Comment by Lotuz 10.12.05 @
I know what your sayin Robbie, there was more trash than treasures in '93. Check half.com 99 cent bin, and you will see what he means.
I forgot about Da King & I, as I recall that album was bangin'. Good look Lotuz, your list was like a flashback to the nine three.
Yeah good look Lotuz, and I'm glad I'm not the only one lovin "Looks like a job for". I got a question, is this funk mode version also produced by Large Pro?Comment by GregO 10.12.05 @

the lp was originally gonna be called black rage.
there was a track of the same name that never saw the light of day.
i have this and the original (much better)version of at large on an mp3 of my mate rd`s pause tape.
anyone want it then hit me up on slsk.just add a 2 to my name..
"The beef is on" from 'Kane's "looks like a job for.." is one of his best tracks.
I never heard this Tragedy album in full but my friend Jason Bate used to swear by it….But then he also liked Rumplestiltskinz so what did he know.
Since this is destined to turn into an examination of 1993 rap, here's my '93 top ten :
1. Snoop-doggystyle.
2. Big L-devil's son.12″.
3. Wu-Tang-36 chambers.
4. Beatnuts-intoxicated demons.ep.
5. A.T.C.Q-midnight marauders.
6. Akinyele-vagina diner.
7. Black Moon-enta da stage
8. Biggie-party and bullshit.12″.
9. Krs One-return of the boom bap.
10. The ONYX 12″s/B.D.K-looks like a job for.Comment by Brian Beck From Wisconsin 10.12.05 @
But then he also liked Rumplestiltskinz so what did he know.
And what's wrong with Rumpletilskinz? Their album was good. They only lacked their own identity (a mix of Onyx and Leaders Of The New School).Comment by Lotuz 10.12.05 @
heck i rather be back in '93 than 2005 when it comes to musicComment by BrotherOmi 10.12.05 @
Amen to that brother, that era for music (hip-hop) priceless. I wish K-Def's site had the Grand Groove video, that classic, hard story-telling. Artist these days would cut off there left arm to have a track like thatComment by ron 10.12.05 @
The tracks had to be re-mixed by K-Def. He was hot & still is, while Marley's touch was over.Comment by clay 10.12.05 @
beatlover, if you wanna email me "At Large (orig.)" and "Black Rage" I'll add them to the article
I don't agree that Marley was over in the '93 though. He did some great work with Kamikazee and PHD around '94-'95.
Speaking of "Return of the Boom Bap", does anyone have the version with the Oscar Mayer sample?Comment by Robbie 10.12.05 @
i can do this at the weekend for you robbie.
only problem is it`ll have to in one big file(theres other dope shit on there like bitch in yoo with a different verse).
did you ever get the mcchampions mp3 i sent you??Comment by beatlover 10.13.05 @
Yeah that "MC Champion"s version was dope.Thanks.Comment by Robbie 10.13.05 @
here`s five unreleased tracks from saga of a hoodlum.courtesy of rare dave.
Yeah nice one beatlover for the people who don't know them already , personaly heard them all before.They would of been taped from Tim Westwood's Capital Rap Show 95.8fm around Nov/Dec 1992 I used to tape the same shows so I know ..The the MC Champion's would of been from Westwood's show circa 1990 aswell .So Give Tim his props ."P.G time is over ,world premier ,going to a song you never heard before etc" are all Tim's old jingle drops .WITHOUT TIM WESTWOOD YOU WOULDN'T have heard them .Just to make things clear to New Jacks.Comment by The truth 10.15.05 @
Good topic. I have often made that comment about '93 and most people don't agree but so much of that era was bad and most of what was good doesn't hold the same weight now. I just actually listened to Da King & I and Madcap yesterday and I think used to like them back then but I could barely find 2 songs on each that I would bother ripping to my computer.
There was some great stuff but I think the best way to look at it was that that became one of the first years were what was wack outweighed what was good…Comment by kevin beacham 10.17.05 @
That list of albums is pretty comprehensive, but contains some really bad albums. Apache? Das Efx? Erick Sermon? Ice T? Just Ice's worst album? Kris Kross? MC Lyte's worst album, MC Ren? Onyx? Naughty by nature? Pudgee? Shaq? Every one of those is appalling. I replayed 'Under Pressure' recently and it was like listening to mud. Straight to ebay with it!Comment by Drew Huge 10.17.05 @
"Just Ice's worst album"
I still say that title goes to Masterpiece.
And yes, Erick Sermon's first solo album was total trash.Comment by Robbie 10.17.05 @
Appalling? Some of them were, but I feel you guys are exaggerating. 'No Pressure' total trash? Come on now!Comment by Lotuz 10.17.05 @
Dope post. Dope site overall.
Just for the record, there were never any official promo copies of 'Saga Of A Hoodlum' pressed on wax – only cassettes and CDs.
There have been three different bootlegs to date, with the recent Japanese one being the most complete – the others didn't have the 'Funky Roll Outro' on the end.
UK heads might recall Westwood doing his WBLS Rap Exchange sessions with Marley over the top of that little instrumental track.
There's also a white label/test pressing (Specialty label, I believe) with 5 or so cuts on from just after this era, rumoured to have been produced by Large Pro… I'm still working on a copy of that one…Comment by chr!s 10.18.05 @
"there were never any official promo copies of 'Saga Of A Hoodlum' pressed on wax"
In that case – bless those greedy bootlegga bastards.Comment by Robbie 10.18.05 @
man i been looking for these tracks ever since i lost my tapes of westwoods shows, but the tracks seem unavailable,
i would be eternally grateful if someone could please hook up another link to those 5 tracks which were omitted, they were soooo dope
peaceComment by skunk 04.08.06 @
Please could those unreleased Trag tracks be shared again? Dead links are soul destroying……Comment by silentminority 07.08.06 @
K-Def did that one.Comment by Robbie 07.20.06 @
1993 Was my Favorite year for hip hop…
Maestro's Naah this kid Can't be from Canada droped in Febuary of 1994. I know this because im one of the few people that think this album is banging….
I would say that Erick Sermon's No Pressure, was a little dissapointing for his first solo LP, but you must be on dust to say it was mud or trash, come on "Hostile" with Keith Murray was dope and still is, "Hittin Switches", "Stay Real", "Lil Crazy" with Shadz of Lingo, "The Ill Shit" with Ice Cube & Kam., "All In The Mind", "Female Species", "Do It Up" were all good solid joints if you ask me.Comment by Jaz 04.15.07 @

VENTURA, Calif. (AP) - A Pacific Surfliner train and a car collided at Ventura railroad crossing, killing the vehicle's driver and disrupting train service on a busy holiday travel day.
Amtrak spokeswoman Karina Romero says the crash happened Thursday afternoon when the driver pulled onto the tracks.
Romero says no one on the train was injured, but two southbound
trains were delayed.
The Surfliner train travels along the Southern California coast between San Luis Obispo and San Diego.

Idaho Spud
By Patrick Fisher — Finkbuilt guest author
I was crusing the aisle at my local grocer looking for a vegan VooDoo Donut, when what did I spy but an elusive specimen of old-skool candy bar packaging.
It is increasingly difficult to find examples of product still sporting original graphic design from 30-40-7o years ago. The list of genius graphic design that has fallen victim to "updating" is sobering. One used to be able to count on things to stay refreshingly the same. No matter how many space-shuttle disasters that came and went you could always be reassured at least your favorite candy bar design remained unchanged: comforting, steadfast and true.
NOT SO ANYMORE! I lament the passing of each iconic design as I visit the nations' candy counters. Thats why I was so THRILLED to find a sleeper that hasn't changed a bit since 1918…. the elusive Idaho Spud. It sports the same type-face and naive brown wrapper with crude little warty things on it that has attracted and repelled kids of all ages for 80 years. I quickly purchased two bars feeling I somehow "got away" with something.
According to the Idaho Candy Company, "The popular Idaho Spud Bar is a wonderful combination of a light cocoa flavored marshmallow center drenched with a dark chocolate coating and then sprinkled with coconut (Sorry, no potato!). "
Hmm…. when I get the hankerin' for a candy bar I usually don't associate a potato within a million miles of the candy I am about to enjoy…. potatoes and candy do not go hand in hand by any stretch of the imagination. None the less The Idaho Candy Company must be aware of the potential for confusion by the "Sorry, no potato!" disclaimer. Okay, no Potato in the bar… thats clear…. so, what is the first impression when you crack open an Idaho Spud? To get some objective feedback I presented one to a co-worker…. when we released our Spud from its cocoon sounds of "eeew" emananted from our mouths…. "its looks like a chalky dog turd!" , "poop rolled in coconut!"… we were horrified. But how does it TASTE??? Not only does Idaho Spud LOOK like it was designed 1918, but the bar actually TASTES like it was made in 1918…. blech! The Idaho Candy Company proudly claims Idaho Spud is one of the top hundred selling candy bars in the Northwest, but, in my book, Idaho Spud is best admired and not eaten. I'd rather eat a potato.

The meta-analysis, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, used data from 22 trials looking at the effect of magnesium on blood pressure. The trials included a total of 1,173 people, lasted anywhere from 3 to 24 weeks, and studied amounts of magnesium ranging from 120 mg per day to 973 mg per day.
After pooling and analyzing the data, the researchers came up with the following findings:
"This meta-analysis showed an overall reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure from magnesium supplementation," said lead study author, Lindsy Kass, of the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield, UK. "Although the effect size was small, we know from previous research that the degree of reduction seen in these trials is likely to be clinically meaningful in terms of reducing the risks of coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke in a population group."
If you have high blood pressure, a magnesium supplement might be a good addition to your daily routine. Here are some other reasons to consider magnesium:
If you do decide to start taking magnesium, remember that some people experience bloating, gas, and diarrhea from taking large amounts. Taking small amounts more frequently may solve this problem.

Is a wool outfit cool enough to wear for an outdoor workout in sunny Southern California? If it's Icebreaker's cool wool sportswear, then yes. That's me to the right, dressed head to toe in Icebreaker for an outdoor yoga class at the Vital Juice Pop Up Wellness Retreat at The Sunset Marquis Hotel & Villas last month.
No, that's not an official yoga pose — that's me pre-class, miming running on a yoga mat. My cool workout wear comes from Icebreaker's Ultralite series: The Dash Crewe top, which has the added bonus of slimming design lines, and the Bodyfit 200 Leggings, which are already lighweight, but also come in an even lighter Bodyfit 150 version. The thin but strong natural fabric keeps me cool when I go out for a jog — and go well with the Icebreaker socks I reviewed a while back!
Like the socks, the top and leggings are made of merino wool from sustainably raised New Zealand sheep. I can even find out which group of sheep my clothes came from by entering the item's "baacode" into Icebreaker's website. The clothes are lightweight, breathable, and not scratchy — and great for running, hiking and other active sports.
That said, if your main workout is yoga, keep in mind that merino wool fabric doesn't have as much give as most made-for-yoga pants, which means there's a little unwanted resistance in the fabric in some stretchy yoga poses. I got through my yoga class fine but did notice the extra effort, so the stretchiness issue is something to keep in mind when shopping.
Icebreaker's Ultralite tops — available for both men and women — cost between $59.99 to $89.99; leggings cost between $59 to $109, depending on the weight. Find Icebreaker at a store near you, or shop online.

The VIDA Count & 1914
I keep thinking about the VIDA count and wondering how different our lives are than, say, 100 years ago. So I turned to my trusty Wonder World Encyclopedia for insights.
the VIDA count
2 comments:

"The vocation of daughter is regarded as almost, but (or was it if?), not quite as seriously as that of the son" has to be one of the more thought-provoking sentences thus far provided us by that great Holy Book, the Wonder World Encyclopedia.
(The "funny thing" (?), though, Nin -- I can't stop imagining that sentence being written by a female stenographer, toiling away at very small wages in the boiler-room sweat-shop of the Wonder World Encyclopedia head editorial offices, while the editor-in-chief was off having a drink at the joint around the corner.)

And the maybe even funnier thing is this, when one turns to the research trail and seeks Wonder World Encyclopedia (1914), looking for the absentee boss and his fellow slavedrivers, one discovers on the first search page no evidence of the existence of that authoritative volume -- but links to two American woman poets (and no stenographers!).
And their names are (envelope, please!)...
Emily Dickinson, and
(the winner is)
Nin Andrews!
So it seems that after lo these many benighted eons there may finally exist some meagre smidgeon of justice here in this wondrous world after all.

Hey, Spoiled Pretty readers. I'm cooking up something for the blog and I need your help…I'm looking for feedback about your Spoiled Pretty experience.
Where are you from? How many times a day/week/month do you visit? Do you think I'm funny? Have any of my beauty reviews convinced you to purchase a particular product? How did it work out for you? What do you like most about Spoiled Pretty?
Something like this (and yes, this was a real comment I received)…
"Hi, Daneen. Spoiled Pretty is the best…and you rock. No seriously, you're awesome…the best ever. Your blog is the first website I visit in the AM and I check back throughout the day for more tasty morsels of your snarky writing. Thanks to your recommendation, I bought one of Urban Decay's 24/7 Eye Pencils (I now understand why you think their main ingredient is crack). I am so addicted that I'm going to Sephora this weekend and buying more. Keep doing what you do, and I'll keep coming back!"

Diagnostic Pathology 2011, 6:27 doi:10.1186/1746-1596-6-27Published: 30 March 2011
Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) has been known as a rare and serious cancer-related pulmonary complication. However, the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of this debilitating condition still remains obscure and no effective management was recommended. The present study aims to elucidate the pathophysiology of PTTM.
Autopsy records were searched to extract cases of pulmonary tumor embolism induced by metastasis of gastric carcinoma in the Toho University Omori Medical Center from 2000 to 2006. And then, tissue sections of extracted cases were prepared for not only light microscopic observation but morphometric analysis with the use of selected PTTM cases.
Six autopsies involved PTTM and clinicopathological data of them were summarized. There was a significant negative association between pulmonary arterial diameter and stenosis rate in four cases. Although all cases showed an increase of stenosis rate to some degree, the degree of stenosis rate varied from case to case. Significant differences were found for average stenosis rate between the under 100 micrometer group or the 100 to 300 micrometer group and the 300 micrometer group in four cases. However, no significant differences were found for average stenosis rate between the under 100 micrometer group and the 100 to 300 micrometer group in all cases. Meanwhile, all cases showed positive reactivity for tissue factor (TF), five showed positive reactivity for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and three showed positive reactivity for osteopontin (OPN).
In the present study, we revealed that the degree of luminal narrowing of the pulmonary arteries varied from case to case, and our results suggested that pulmonary hypertension in PTTM occurs in selected cases which have a widespread pulmonary lesion with severe luminal narrowing in the smaller arteries. Furthermore, our immunohistochemical examination indicated that gastric carcinoma indicating PTTM shows a higher TF-positive rate than typical gastric carcinoma. However, it remains still obscuring whether gastric carcinoma indicating PTTM shows a higher VEGF or OPN-positive rate as determined by immunohistochemistry.

The dream of a paperless office has yet to become a reality for many businesses. But the Santa Rosa City Council may soon be taking a big step toward paperless decision-making.
The seven members of the City Council recently received new Apple iPads to help them do their jobs, such as scheduling meetings and emailing constituents.
Soon, they may begin using the popular tablet computers during council meetings to review staff reports and other documents, scrapping the need for paper packets that can run to hundreds of pages.
On Tuesday, the council will consider revising its policy governing the use of taxpayer-funded electronic devices, including whether it wants to take the next step and go paperless.
Mayor Scott Bartley said software installed on their iPads should make it easier for council members to review reports and other information relevant to their deliberations.
"I was a little bit of a skeptic, but this is a slick little program," Bartley said. "I'm real impressed with it. It's going to make life a lot easier."
Currently, employees in the city manager's office compile about 20 complete copies of the council agenda for each meeting, usually about three a month. The packets typically includes minutes of prior meetings, staff reports, proposed contracts, environmental reports, letters from the public and correspondence between the council and other legislative bodies.
Bartley said that since he's been mayor, he's gotten an up-close view of the work the City Hall staff puts into assembling the packets. "I said, 'Holy cow, we're killing a lot of trees,' " he said.
The cost of assembling the paper packets is $10,000 per year. The seven iPads cost $4,800, plus $3,200 for maintenance and data plans, according to city staff.
In addition to being more environmentally friendly, the iPads are city property and can be used for years. When their terms are up, council members will turn in the devices for use by new council members, just as they do with city-issued cellphones and laptops.

|Comparison of the effect of upper body-ergometry aerobic training vs treadmill training on central cardiorespiratory improvement and walking distance in patients with claudication.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21515017 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Supervised treadmill-walking exercise programs have been proven to be a highly effective in improving walking distance in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients with lifestyle-limiting claudication. Limited information is available on the contributions of central cardiorespiratory functions for improving these patients' walking capacity with exercise training.
METHODS: This study randomized 28 participants (21 men; age, 65.6 years; 92.7% smoking history, 36.6% with diabetes) with lifestyle-limiting PAD-related claudication to 3 hours/week of supervised exercise training for 12 weeks, using arm-ergometry (n = 10) or treadmill-walking (n = 10) vs a usual-care control group (n = 8). Cardiorespiratory function measurements were assessed before and after training at a submaximal workload and at the onset of claudication (pain-free walking distance [PFWD]) and at maximal walking distance [(MWD]). Changes in these functions from baseline were analyzed among the groups with analysis of covariance. Associations between variables were determined by Pearson's partial correlations.
RESULTS: The mean baseline demographic, medical, and exercise variables were similar among the groups. There were similar significant differences in the submaximal double product (heart rate × systolic blood pressure) and at MWD, ventilatory threshold, ventilatory oxygen uptake (VO(2)) at onset of claudication, and VO(2) peak in response to training in both exercise groups vs the control group. Statistically significant, moderate correlations (r = 0.60-0.68) were found between changes in all cardiorespiratory variables and changes in PFWD or MWD.
CONCLUSION: Improvements in cardiorespiratory function after arm-ergometry or treadmill-training were significantly associated with improvements in both PFWD and MWD, providing supporting evidence of systemic contributions to exercise training-related improvements in walking capacity seen in patients with claudication.

The Indus River System Authority (Irsa) decided on Friday to give more water to two provinces after a temperature increase in northern parts of the country improved river flows, bringing down the water shortage from 40 per cent last month to 10 per cent.
The water share of Punjab was increased to 110,000 cusec from 91,000 cusec and Sindh's share was enhanced to 125,000 cusec from 103,000 cusec a day earlier.
The water releases from Chashma barrage were increased to 155,000 cusec from 127,000 cusec while discharges from Tarbela dam were increased to 96,000 cusec from 83,000 cusec. The releases from Tarbela would be further enhanced to 115,000 cusec on Sunday, informed sources said.
Irsa has started conserving water at both the major reservoirs – Tarbela and Mangla. The improved flows and consequent increase in discharges have also led to higher electricity generation from hydropower resources, now touching 4,700MW against about 2,000MW last month.
Officials said the storage at Tarbela dam has now gone up to 1,392 feet against its dead level of 1,378 feet. For almost a month until last week, there was no storage at Tarbela, forcing authorities to adopt a run-of-the-river policy under which whatever water was available was released downstream.
The storage level at Mangla also improved to 1,102 feet on Friday against its dead level of 1,040 feet.
Sources said the sowing season that had been delayed for a couple of weeks at the start of the season owing to water shortage was now complete. The average inflows at Tarbela dam were recorded at 100,200 cusec on Friday against its outflows of 96,700 cusec. The inflows at Mangla stood at 53,420 cusec on Friday against its outflows of 44,470 cusec.

For years, we had a health insurance market that was broken for small businesses. Because they had less bargaining power, small businesses paid an average of 18 percent more for the same health insurance plan offered to the bigger business down the street, and their premiums could skyrocket if a single employee got sick. That made it hard for many small business owners to keep offering coverage and grow their businesses.
But because of the Affordable Care Act, Florida's small businesses and their employees are getting better choices, starting with new protections that limit the outrageous ...

York County tourist attractions are already preparing for an event that's 30 miles and nearly 10 months away, expecting the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg to be the biggest event of summer 2013.
The York County Convention & Visitors Bureau is gearing up to field an overflow of visitors at the end of June and during the first week of July.
Though the official anniversary is July 1-3, bureau spokeswoman Allison Freeman said she's expecting Gettysburg -- and hopefully, York -- to be popular all summer.
"There's definitely more of an interest to attract visitors to York ... because, when we talked to the Gettysburg CVB, they said they expect hotel rooms within a 200-mile radius to be booked," Freeman said. "They already have hotel rooms booked ... the whole way out to State College. It sounds like it's going to be absolutely huge from what we're hearing."
Hampton Inn in Hanover is already sold out from June 24 through July 8, and a Holiday Inn Express in Hanover is also sold out for days of that period.
"They said that they had people calling for reservations months ago," Freeman said.
Carl Whitehill, spokesman for the Gettysburg CVB, said he expects York and Cumberland counties and Frederick County, Md., to absorb most of the overflow.
"We're definitely looking at it as a big economic boon for the region," he said. "Adams County can't fit everybody who will be here next year. They'll also be getting rooms and eating in neighboring counties."
He said projections based on current economic data show an economic impact of $750 million in visitors spending and an extra 1 million visitors for Adams County alone in 2013.
Blankets and tents: The 2013 York County Visitors Guide will emphasize Civil War history to capitalize on the anniversary, Freeman said.
And enterprising business owners are brainstorming ways to attract the families and history buffs who might have little choice but to at least spend the night in York.
Patrick Kline, president of Red Lion-based Family Heirloom Weavers, said he's cranking out historically accurate reproduction blankets made of the same fabrics used by re-enactors. He's also making the material needed for period tents, he said.
The business is known for its home furnishing fabrics but has made Civil War-era uniforms for movies, including "Cold Mountain" and "Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter." Kline formerly owned a store in Gettysburg and decided to seize the opportunity to return to clothing.
"I kind of jumped back into it a little bit, but for the 150th, I'd be crazy not to take advantage of it," he said.
Burning bridge: The rest of York will be playing up its historical connections as well, Freeman said.
"We're hoping people come over because we're close and we do have some interesting heritage," she said. "People are interested because we were the capital for a little while, but the burning of the bridge really seems to be our claim to fame in terms of what people know York County for."
A bridge across the Susquehanna River from Wrightsville to Columbia, Lancaster County, was burned by Union militia on June 28, 1863, to slow the advance of Confederate soldiers.
The dramatic act will be re-enacted during a days-long string of events organized in the historic river town. Civil War re-enactors, using a crane and pontoon boat, will place piles of wood on top of the 25 piers of the former bridge and ignite them.
Wrightsville will also try to attract visitors to its downtown area to visit the Burning of the Bridge Diorama and the Wrightsville Museum and is holding walking tours to highlight historical buildings and cemeteries where Civil War soldiers are buried.
'Fiery Trial': In May, the York County Heritage Trust will introduce its programming for the 150th anniversary, launching a new exhibit titled "The Fiery Trial: The York County Civil War Experience."
The exhibit will detail York's Civil War-era history, including the burning of the bridge and other significant events.
At Codorus State Park, re-enactors will gather to replicate the Battle of Hanover, with men in period garb firing canons.
And as other organizations are looking to add to York's historic activity lineup, the county's eastern neighbors in Lancaster County are also hoping to claim some of the Gettysburg visitors. There are events scheduled in Columbia, where the National Watch & Clock Museum is looking for a sponsor to hold a Civil War Ball on June 22.

|Aibo imitation
|Adaptive primitives
|Sequence primitives
|Contact Details
Imitation involves several different levels of abstraction, and learning capabilities for acquiring novel skills. Here, we develop a hierarchical framework for the computational processes within an imitating agent. Every layer in the hierarchy addresses the problem of linking perception to action based on the abstracted information and the resources available at that level. The hierarchy extends from fixed and predefined primitives to very abstract symbolic representations of tasks and skills.
At the lowest computational layer are the basic and intrinsic primitives. These primitives are a specialized set of programs that can generate motor commands for specific movements, and are capable of recognizing similar movements performed by other agents. At the next level are adaptive primitives that are a specialization or combination of the intrinsic primitives, and thus use the primitives in the lower layer as building blocks. At the next higher level are representations of movement sequences and models of other complex movements. At the highest level are abstract and symbolic representations of classes of movements and skills. Using this hierarchy as the underlying framework we have explored instantiations of the model that incrementally implement the layers in the hierarchy.
The first instantiation of this framework demonstrated joint level simultaneous imitation on the Sony Aibo robotic dog. The system implemented the bottom most computational layer in the hierarchy which interfaced with the perceptual and motor subsystems in order to provide a complete, albeit simple, imitation system. The computational layer consists of two types of intrinsic primitives, namely (1) discrete via-point primitives and (2) rhythmic oscillator based primitives, in competition. Simultaneous imitation was achieved by making the via-point primitives estimate the instantaneous joint orientations in the demonstration and issue appropriate motor commands for imitation. Oscillator based primitives competed with via-point primitives, and took over control when they estimated parameters of a rhythmic movement with high confidence. This demonstrated the transition from jerky point to point imitation of rhythmic movements to smooth tracking as the control migrated from via-point to oscillatory primitives.
The system was then extended by incorporating an adaptive primitives layer in addition to the intrinsic primitives layer. Using vector quantization and clustering, adaptive primitives associate with superpositions of intrinsic primitives to express compound movement. Subsequently, adaptive primitives can recognize movements with similar characteristics and generalize to similar movements with some deviation. We demonstrated the learning and execution of movement combinations with adaptive primitives in a physics based dynamic humanoid simulation testbed for movements such as figure-eights.
The final increment involved the addition of a layer that could represent probabilistic models of movement sequences. This layer consisted of sequence primitives implemented as Hidden markov models (HMM). Each sequence primitive is an HMM that treats the set of all specializer primitives from the lower layer as symbols of the model. Based on the observations provided by demonstrations, the sequence primitives learn the probability matrices. Competitive learning is used between the sequence primitives in order to bring about differentiation and specialization among these primitives. Thus, after a sufficient learning period each primitive represents a distinct movement sequence. The learning and imitation aspects of this architecture were validated using motion capture and synthetic data, involving aerobic-style sequences and reaching movements respectively.

To Trader Joe's, that is. We got one in town here about two years ago and slowly but surely, it has taken over my life. I have plenty of grocery stores closer to home–the drive to Trader Joe's is probably about 15 minutes–but every week, I find myself carving out some time to get to Trader Joe's for items that have somehow become necessities. (Yes, this is going to sound like an ad).
Many of these items are things that you can find other places, but I like the TJ's brand better. My must haves from TJ's? Peanut butter for one. I love their natural, creamy unsalted version. Almonds are another. At TJ's you can get a "half the salt" version, which seems just perfect. I also love their Greek yogurt, specifically the pomegranate and vanilla flavors. The vanilla flavor even has vanilla beans in it–yum! And my favorite dark chocolate fix comes in the form of Trader Joe's dark chocolate almond bars. They are sooo good. I've also discovered a lettuce I didn't know about before–mache–which goes perfectly with sliced avocados.
I find plenty of staples that my kids like here as well. Stuff like cereal bars, cereal, oatmeal, cheese pizza, and a few snack items. A trip into Trader Joe's isn't complete without an impulse buy or two either. Last time I found myself absolutely needing their cranberry goat cheese log. And I always eye up a few "dream items," but somehow manage to resist, because I know I would have no self-control. The maple creme sandwich cookies go into this category!
If it weren't that I loved the food so much at Trader Joe's, the pricing would probably get me anyhow. I find their pricing tough to beat. Yes, they have me, hook, line and sinker. Anyone want to run an intervention for me?

Twenty years ago, we lost a woman who put her reputation
and very life on the line in her quest to understand and defend
animals. Many people think of Dr. Dian Fossey more as a researcher
than a protector of the animals, but she was actually a hunt
saboteur who wasn't afraid to take direct action to
save lives.
In 1963, while on a six-week trip to Africa, Dian Fossey
met orangutan expert Dr. Biruté Galdikas and Louis
Leakey, a famous paleoanthropologist who was also a mentor
to Dr. Jane Goodall.
In 1966, Fossey moved to Africa to begin studying the mountain
gorillas. She started out in Zaire, but political upheaval
forced her to relocate. In 1967, she founded the Karisoke
Research Center at the Parc des Volcans in Rwanda. This beautiful
national park, which was under constant threat from poachers,
would be the center of the rest of her life.
To truly study the gorillas, Fossey first had to gain their
trust. She spent thousands of hours in intense observation
of these profoundly wild animals. Eventually, her efforts
paid off when an adult male gorilla touched her hand. This
touch across the species barrier marked the first, friendly
gorilla-human contact ever recorded.
Towards the beginning of her research, Fossey met a young
mountain gorilla whom she named Digit. She watched him grow,
and they were friends for 10 years—until the day Digit
was murdered by poachers.
Poachers kill mountain gorillas to sell their body parts.
The heads of these intelligent, incredibly beautiful animals
are used as wall decorations, and their hands and feet are
often turned into ashtrays.
Outraged by Digit's death and by the failure of park
guards to protect the gorillas from poachers, Fossey decided
to take action. She started the Digit Fund (later renamed
the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund). And she also created her own
anti-poaching patrol.
Fossey's patrol destroyed thousands of snares and traps
and confiscated hundreds of spears, bows, and other weapons.
This work was covered by National Geographic and earned her
an international reputation as an outspoken advocate for gorillas.
Fossey returned to the United States in 1974 to obtain her
Ph.D. at Cambridge University and accepted a visiting associate
professorship at Cornell University. During this period, she
wrote the best-selling book Gorillas in the Mist, which was
later turned into a movie and ended up educating millions
of people about the plight of the endangered mountain gorillas.
But Fossey's determination to protect the gorillas
drew her back to Rwanda, where she resumed her anti-poaching
efforts. That work earned her some ruthless enemies. On December
26, 1985, an unknown attacker entered Fossey's cabin
and killed her, apparently by hacking her to death with a
machete as she scrambled to find her gun to protect herself.
Local authorities believed Fossey was killed by poachers,
but her death remained a mystery for 15 years.
Recently, however, Rwandan authorities accused a man named
"Mr. Z" of killing Fossey. Mr. Z is also charged
with being one of the chief architects of the 1994 Rwandan
genocide, in which almost a million people from the minority
Tutsi tribe were slaughtered by government soldiers, militias
and bands of ordinary citizens from the majority Hutu tribe.
Most victims were killed with machetes.
What's especially disturbing about Fossey's death
is that some people apparently feel that she got what she
deserved. The reason? She was too controversial, too determined
to protect the gorillas and totally unwilling to accept excuses
or compromise. Many felt that her tactics to stop poaching
were a bit extreme. She has also been accused of mistreating
her staff and other researchers, and some people thought she
was crazy.
However, it is very easy to have respect for such an incredible
woman, who went out on her own to study the mountain gorillas
and didn't just sit back as they were being murdered.
Today, the mountain gorillas of Rwanda are still hanging
on. In fact, there are about a hundred more gorillas now than
when Fossey first began struggling to save them. While Fossey
remains a controversial figure, most observers agree on one
fact: Without her uncompromising defense of these animals,
the gorillas in the mist would be only a memory.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Pitched political battles in a Nye County community are moving to the ballot box.
Voters will decide in November whether or not the elected Pahrump Town Board should be abolished and replaced with an appointed advisory board with limited authority.
This week the Nye County Commission unanimously approved putting the measure on the ballot.
The move comes amid fighting between the town board and county commission over budgets and responsibilities.
A month ago, a local Republican party official also led a failed attempt to arrest town board members in a dispute over a town incorporation ordinance.
Town Board Chairwoman Vicky Parker doesn't think voters will replace the board with an advisory body that could do little more than make recommendations to the county commission.

July 17th, 2007
While everyone else is excited about their iPhones and whatnot, technology isn't leaving us country dwellers behind. Consider these two recent events:
1) The weeds growing down the middle of the road were gone for a bit. That was surely evidence that the county road maintainer has been by.
2) Word from our letter carrier that we just *may* be able to have our mailbox at our driveway. Someone wants to build across the road near us, and asked about getting a mailbox there instead of almost a mile away where ours is. Apparently if both of us want our mailboxes closer (Terah said "YES", I'm sure), they just may consider it.
That's right, we may need to now have only a 1/2 mile round trip to get our mail.
Back to the iPhone: we do get a signal from Cingular at our place, but I can't help thinking "what's the point?" I don't really need an always-on Internet connection everywhere I go.

|He now graces the Christmas tree every year!
Shortly after discovering Ravelry and knitting blogs, I discovered sewing blogs - and my blogging niche was found! I'm glad to be part of the online sewing community - the international inspiration, sharing, feedback, and camaraderie is something I look forward to every morning and every evening. (OK, lunchtime and frequently during the day too, if I'm honest.....!)
Unfortunately after all my years working in the clothing industry, sewing had become work for me. But the enthusiasm of other sewing bloggers quickly rejuvenated my pleasure in it as a hobby - so I owe you all a big thank you!
I also thank blogging for making me pay more attention to getting a good result - if something is getting photographed for the blog, it has to fit properly without any wrinkles as the camera never lies! Too often in the past I'd get lazy and settle for second best when "it's only for me", but now I frequently catch myself muttering "I can't post it like this" as I reach for my quick-unpic. Better quality can only be a good thing!
I thought it was interesting to note that there are no photographs of myself early on - all my life I have preferred to be behind the camera:
|As evidenced by this shy entry in a 'self-portrait' competition on Flickr 3 years ago!
|Look - no more photo-phobia!
You might notice I've been relatively absent of late - well I've been busy making a PDF pattern of my Ruby Slip so you can download it and make your own version. I've made four Ruby Slips now and they are really lovely to wear to bed, or even just lounging around the house in. One would make a great gift for a lucky sister or friend also - there is still time to whip one up for Christmas!
Plus, I thought we could do a Ruby Slip Sew-Along - even though this is a simple garment to make there are lots of tips and tricks to share about sewing with lace, bias cutting, and also some variations to the pattern to explore - so let's do it! I hope to have the pattern uploaded very soon with all the details, and in the meantime you have permission to start fabric hunting!
Are you keen?
Cheers, Sherry
