Discover Tableware Stores in Chelsea, New York
Tucked behind the buildings on 17th Street awaits this odds-and-ends vintage shop. A secret garden of sorts, customers enter through a long blue-green passage that leads down a literal hall of mirrors to the tiny courtyard of a former blacksmith shop now overflowing with antique furniture, old photographs, and other collectables from the mid-19th century to the swinging '70s. Everything—from pots and pans to strings of pearls—is arranged… More info112 West 17th St, New York, NY 10011
New Yorkers recognize Authentiques among Chelsea's most adored and frequented shops for collectibles, especially during the winter season when it showcases a remarkable collection of endearing vintage holiday items. Still, shoppers flock to the cozy store all year long for great prices on small collectible items, such as glass and barware, vintage jewelry, postcards, and commemorative pieces, like souvenirs from past World's Fairs. Owners Robert… More info255 West 18th St, New York, NY 10011
Owners Lana Sexton and Henry Stozek have a knack for collecting natural organic and classic shapes, especially those of American designers. Their shop, Nest Interiors, has been open since 2004 and is an offshoot of Sexton's own business as an interior designer, so the advice is more than friendly; it's informed. Stop by Nest to see their vast selection of home accent furnishings, luxurious art objects, hand-blown glassware, decorator pillows and… More info172 9th Ave, New York, NY 10011

wow...amazing, looks like the mod for half life 2 (forgot the name, this space combat thing), but better...downloading the alpha...20 minutes remaining!

These four-piece designs the company calls "Original Kosher Swimwear" are available with matching headwear. Aqua Modesta states that its swimwear material is opaque even when wet, dries quickly and does not cling. Fabrics are UV-rated for greater sun protection. Swim sets in women's regular sizes 2 to 20 are offered in addition to girls' and maternity styles.
This company was founded in the 1990s by a family with active daughters that felt a need for more modest clothing and swimwear options in the apparel market. Still family owned and operated with outsourced production, this company provides the same classic styles designed by one of the daughters, all with a center front zipper that attaches an outer Taslan nylon dress to an inner Spandex bodysuit.
Spend time among the 14 websites that make up Blair brands, and you will be sure to find modest clothing options, especially if you are looking for culottes, split skirts and gauchos (use the search bar at each website to type in these key words). Suits with long skirts are also plentiful among Blair brands which usually found among the menu options for suiting. Shipping is limited to the United States and Canada.
Sierra Trading Post is a discount outlet for other brands, and by typing "gaucho" or "split skirt" into the search box, several culotte-style items may sometimes be found. The other clothing categories take more time to search because of the deep and varied selection, but for shoppers willing to spend the effort, knee-length shorts, long skirts and a few modest tops from major brands may be found among the listings.
"Skirlot" is this company's creative name for a skort. Two styles of regular culottes are also offered. Products are made upon receipt of order and are shipped within one to three weeks.
Navigate to "Ready Made Products" to see the culotte styles available. Sewing patterns for these culottes are also available under "Patterns."
This company specializes in undergarments for the Victorian and Renaissance eras. Each item is made to order and can be customized with different fabrics, trims and details to make styles such as this "pants slip" suitable for outerwear.
This mid-calf length skort provides form-fitting inner shorts and an a-line outer skirt. The fabric is soft and water-resistant.
For some activities, wearing shorts that cover to the knee may actually provide more modesty from all angles than some culottes. The founders of the Knee Shorts company value modesty and endeavor to design products that provide more coverage than the average shorts available on the market.
This western cowboy supplier based in Colorado offers several styles of women's split riding skirts in a variety of fabrics and colors. Prices range over $100 per item partly due to the quantity of fabric required to produce the full designs and the fact that they are manufactured in the USA. Some sizes are in stock, but many of the items are custom made at the company's sewing shop.

Best Low-Carb Menu -- Low End (2004)
Carl's Jr.
These days, everyone and his brother and their sister are hopping on the low-carb bus, tossing the rice, the tortilla, the pasta, the pastry, the bread and the bun out the window. But Carl's Jr. gives you a little something to hold what's left of your meal -- and your dignity -- together. Its fast-food burger comes neatly wrapped in lettuce, so that you can still experience the carnivorous thrill of eating with your hands, not a fork. Hint: That fellow at the drive-thru next to you is probably Barry Fey.

The Senate health care bill found 60 votes and cleared a major obstacle Monday morning. The diluted bill—which is expected to win final approval in the Senate this week—is a far cry from the public option-based draft initially proposed months ago. Nonetheless it aims to provide health coverage for 30 million who are now uninsured.

Ralph Nader describes his new book as a "practical utopia." His quixotic answer to Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged," it is a window into the world the consumer advocate and independent presidential candidate wishes he could create.
For progressives, the question on the health care battle going forward is not whether they have a right to be angry but whether they can direct their fury toward constructive ends. This column has been updated by the author.

If it wasn't crystal clear before that Senate Republicans will stop at nothing to make sure their Democratic rivals don't pass a health care reform bill by Christmas, or anytime, it should be now.

Oh what to make of Sen. Joe Lieberman's dark influence on health care reform? Should it be passed or torpedoed for the greater good? And what about sexting? Hey, there's more to life than health care. And it's all here, in today's list.

Perhaps reflecting a frustration among Democrats over Joe Lieberman's role in shaping the Senate's health care proposal, Sen. Al Franken nipped in the bud the Connecticut senator's discussion of amendments to the bill Thursday. Updated: Now with video!
Keith Olbermann has had it with Liebermancare, and he says the president will lose the left and possibly face a primary challenger if he doesn't kill the "heinous mandate" in the health reform bill.
Those who denounce the Senate plan imagine that Obama and fellow Democrats possess political muscle to achieve something more. They don't.

By bowing to Sen. Lieberman and his obstructive pals in both parties on health care reform, Obama has confirmed what Republicans always say about Democrats: They simply aren't strong enough to govern.

Here's what Democrats need to ponder: Can they prosper in the absence of George W. Bush?

Now that health care reform has been tailored to the demands of Sen. Joe Lieberman, there's real debate among progressives about whether it's worth doing at all. Howard Dean writes: "Any measure that expands private insurers' monopoly over health care and transfers millions of taxpayer dollars to private corporations is not real health-care reform." (continued)
President Barack Obama's hope of getting new health care legislation passed by Christmas may not be realized, especially if Senate Republicans, who seem intent on using whatever strategies they can to delay the vote until next year, have anything to do with it. That's not to say all Democrats are particularly thrilled with the way it's shaping up either.
Las Vegas is out to ruin the sanctity of prostitution, and the Joe Lieberman-shaped health care bill violates the Hippocratic oath to do no harm. These arguments and more in today's list.
There was a nice, albeit fleeting, moment in the spring when hospitals, doctors, drug companies and insurers came together at the White House, pledging to do their part to get health care costs under control.

The world is living from development to development, suggesting something much more important is going on. What will it take, exactly, before we butt out?
Original (minus the thumb): Senate.gov
The health care deal the Senate and president are so excited about would scrap a public option in favor of a plan administered by the Office of Personnel Management. Guess who oversees the OPM? Joe Lieberman, unless Democrats take away his chairmanship, which they've shown no inclination of doing. (continued)
Here's some shocking news: Certain members of the U.S. Senate may be employing stalling tactics to make sure their version of the highly contested health care reform legislation, should it ever see the light of day, takes freaking forever to create.
Those feisty progressives are at it again, running an ad against Joe Lieberman that features the actual chairman of the Connecticut for Lieberman party—but what exactly is the Connecticut for Lieberman party?
The health care reform bill that made it through the House of Representatives last month didn't exactly win rave reviews from the pro-choice camp, and now it's the Senate's turn to have it out over whether government-subsidized health care should ever include coverage for abortions and, if so, under what circumstances that should be allowed.

The gravest danger we face as a nation is not from the far right, although it may well inherit power, but from a bankrupt liberal class that has lost the will to fight and the moral courage to stand up for what it espouses.
President Obama's speech on Afghanistan and his subsequent jobs summit underscored why it's essential to get a health care bill done quickly.
Let it not be said that right-wing bloggers are encumbered by a sense of humor. Or a fact-checker.
AP / Charles Rex Arbogast
The other "peace candidate" in the 2008 Democratic primary isn't thrilled with the president's order to radically escalate the war in Afghanistan, no matter if there's an exit strategy: "What are we going to learn in 18 months that we haven't already learned in the last eight years?"
South African President Jacob "Bring Me My Machine Gun" Zuma has become an unlikely supporter of HIV care in his country, announcing Tuesday—World AIDS Day—new, expanded health care measures to be implemented for HIV-positive mothers and their babies.
In a rare turnabout of camera and subject, "Democracy Now!" host Amy Goodman talks with Truthdig's Robert Scheer about the major inspirations and role models of her life, her life's work, and how the ongoing crisis in journalism is really a crisis of truth. Updated
Jim Leach spent 30 years as a member of Congress. Now he's an Obama Republican who wants America to return to civility.
It's been a long holiday weekend of gratitude and family strife, yet somehow the world continues to turn. Here comes Larry Gross with an update of all that's new and interesting.
So in vogue are attacks on the president that even his proclamation calling the nation to a day of Thanksgiving has become the focus of criticism.
Is there such a thing as communications malpractice? If so, we might consider the case of Women v. the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
The puzzling thing about politicians of either party who claim to be "centrist" or "moderate" is how much they sometimes sound like party-line right-wing Republicans.
Law students may debate whether Congress has the right to mandate health insurance, but in the real world, it's not a big worry.
The uproar over mammogram guidelines is proof that health care reform that actually controls costs would be virtually impossible to achieve.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman says he will never let any form of public option—opt-out, trigger or otherwise—through the Senate, citing budget concerns. This—despite CBO estimates showing the health reform bill reducing the deficit over 10 years—from a senator who has thrown billions at boondoggles ... (continued)
The president's mix-and-match approach to Afghanistan will make no one very happy. Yet it might be the least dangerous choice.

President Barack Obama's on-the-job approval rating is slipping, with two polls in the past week showing that fewer than half of those surveyed are happy with the way he is conducting the business of the presidency.

Democrats in the Senate may engage in collective suicide, but it's Republicans who, with Machiavellian brilliance, have brought the country to a halt.
Let's dispense with three fallacies swirling about the question of abortion coverage in health care reform.

First they threatened to take down health care reform over abortion coverage. Now they're threatening services to the sick and poor of Washington, D.C., over same-sex marriage.

Sherrod Brown and other progressive senators held a meeting Monday night with Harry Reid to let the majority leader know they don't intend to give up any more of an already weakened public option. (continued)

A new Harvard study has uncovered another disturbing reality of America's broken health care system: Trauma patients without insurance are almost twice as likely to die in the emergency room. Researchers were unable to determine why, but hospitals' eagerness to transfer the uninsured could be to blame.
The fight against health care reform is being waged partly by secretive front groups such as Americans for Quality and Affordable Healthcare. While its sponsorship may be cloaked in mystery, its aims fit nicely with those of the health insurance industry.
Save $110 billion, or spend $6.3 trillion? In recent months, tea party protesters and Congress' so-called fiscal conservatives chose the latter.
Pro-choice Democrats need to accept that their House majority depends on a large cadre of anti-abortion colleagues. They can denounce that reality, or they can learn to live with it.

We all have our investing heroes, from barnstorming activists to nimble hedge fund managers to sage dealmakers. But rather than trying to emulate people like Bill Ackman, Ray Dalio and even Warren Buffett, you will do far better by focusing on Norway instead.
A number of observers have picked up on the success of Norway's Government Pension Fund Global as a highly successful investment fund with more than $650-billion (U.S.) in assets. The best part? Its refreshingly straightforward strategy makes it dead-simple for anyone to copy.
As Jason Zwieg pointed out in the Wall Street Journal earlier this month, its success is hard to ignore: Since 2000, the fund has gained an average of 4 per cent a year, which is double the return of the S&P 500 over the same period, after factoring in dividends. It is outgunning the Yale endowment fund, which used to wow spectators.
Abnormal Returns picked up on this theme this week, arguing that while the Norwegian fund has longer-term horizons than most individual investors, its approach is essentially the same: "For the vast majority of investors, individual and institutional, this represents a strategy that is both sound and something they can stick to over the long run."
Here's the kicker: For all its impressive wealth and success, Norway's GPFG follows a course that looks as though it was lifted from a beginner's guide to investing. It divides its assets between stocks and bonds in a 60:40 split – with up to 5 per cent of the bond portfolio devoted to real estate.
It rebalances frequently, so that it will buy stocks when the 60 per cent equity allocation falls below the threshold, and it will sell stocks when the allocation rises above the threshold – an automatic way to buy low and sell high.
It stays very, very diversified, holding thousands of stocks in its portfolio. It shies away from big bets: Average ownership share is a mere 1.1 per cent of publicly traded companies. And it keeps costs low, with total annual costs ranging from 8 to 14 basis points – a steal by mutual fund standards, but not far from what a standard exchange-traded fund costs.
It stays clear of the fancy stuff that many institutional investors have grabbed in the hope of juicing their returns, including venture capital and private equity. It avoids commodities.
Yet, the fund does not avoid risk. Its equity portfolio plunged more than 40 per cent in 2008, sliding with the global financial crisis. It recovered soon after, though, largely through perseverance and rebalancing.
As it states in its strategy: "In the financial markets, investors who are willing to take risks are rewarded with higher expected returns. The aim for the management of the GPFG is thus not to minimize fluctuations in the fund's returns. Such a strategy would produce a significantly lower expected return."
Well, go figure. But for all the fund's apparent simplicity, it stands out as a freak among most other institutional funds. Its approach is being called the "Norway Model," and subjected to the rigours of at least one academic study – by David Chambers, Elroy Dimson and Antti Ilmanen.
One of their conclusions: "The fund emphasizes reducing risk through diversification, limiting itself almost exclusively to publicly traded securities. This approach is easily replicable."
The question is, why don't more of us look to Norway for our own portfolios?

Filed under: Physical fitness
There's an unpleasant situation that runners sometimes experience called "runners' trots" or diarrhea. While short lasting and generally harmless, they can be annoying and cost you time during training or a race.
Certain activities such as high-intensity or long-duration exercise and vertical-impact sports (e.g., running vs. biking) increase your risk of gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort. Dehydration, poor conditioning, medication, and eating habits can cause GI irritation too. Despite the lack of hard evidence as to what causes these GI issues, there are things you can do to help settle your stomach:
- Avoid trying new foods or sports drinks during a race.
- Increase the time between eating and activity. Wait at least 3 hours after eating a large meal, or eat a smaller meal or snack closer to training time.
- Plan out your meals, especially for endurance events.
- Pay attention to what you eat to help identify foods that increase your discomfort during running. It's best to avoid these until after you finish your race.
- Limit your intake of gas-forming or fiber-rich foods (e.g., broccoli, onions, and beans).
- If you're sensitive, avoid coffee and other forms of caffeine before a run.
- Hydrate before and during endurance activities; it will help blood flow to the GI area.
- If you use sports gels or chews for endurance events, drink enough water (three to eight ounces every 15–20 minutes) to stay hydrated.
- Give yourself time to use the bathroom before an endurance exercise.
- Increase distance and intensity gradually.
If symptoms persist for more than a few days, even at rest, seek medical attention. Enjoy your run!
Whatever your goals are, keep in mind that they're easier to accomplish when they're SMART goals:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Achievable/Action-oriented
- Relevant
- Time-sensitive
It's a well-established method for fitness-oriented goals—to lift a certain weight, cycle a century, or run a marathon in a certain amount of time—and it works equally well in other areas of life. Maybe you want to reach a specific rank at your job or finish college by a certain date. Goals aren't just for dreaming big; they're for achieving.
For more details on using SMART goals to achieve your goals, read HPRC's "Get SMART about setting goals." Then you can use our SMART Goals Worksheet to help you:
- think through exactly what you're aiming for;
- determine if this goal is a good fit for you;
- measure and track your progress;
- use success-oriented language to think and talk about your goal; and
- break down the end goal into manageable steps.
Not only is exercise good for the body, it's good for the mind. The expert consensus from the International Society of Sport Psychology is that exercise can increase your sense of well-being and help reduce anxiety, tension, and depression.
For veterans coping with depression, PTSD, or other mental-health issues, sports and exercise may be a great way to relieve stress. Scientists have shown the positive benefits of physical activity on symptoms of depression in veterans. What's more, Veterans' Administration studies have found that physical activity—especially vigorous activity—can decrease the risk of PTSD among Warfighters. The opposite is also true: Veterans who do not engage in physical activity are more likely to experience PTSD. Several organizations specialize in physical activity and exercise for warriors and their families, but you can always try a yoga class, a family bike ride, or other fitness opportunities in your community.
Getting motivated to exercise and stay active can be especially difficult for those suffering from PTSD and depression. Here are some tips to help you get up and get out the door.
- Make a date with yourself. Put it on your calendar or set a daily alarm—whatever you need to do to remind yourself that you've set aside some time for you to exercise. And don't stand yourself up!
- Set a SMART goal and write it down. Post it on your bathroom mirror, your fridge, your car dashboard—wherever you'll see it daily to remind yourself of what you want to accomplish.
- Recruit friends or family members to help. Telling people what your goals are is a great way to stay accountable. An exercise partner is especially helpful when you need that extra nudge to get off the couch and start moving.
- Keep a journal. Record your exercise activities and how you felt afterwards. While you may not feel better after every workout, you probably will most of the time. Being able to go back and read/remember how good exercise made you feel may motivate you for the next workout.
Being overweight puts you at risk for a whole host of health issues, but most people don't think about the risk posed to their knees. The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is one of the major ligaments of the knee and one of the most susceptible to injury. Injury information on more than 1,600 men and women at the U.S. Naval Academy showed that those with a higher body mass index (BMI) had a greater incidence of ACL tears. A difference in BMI of only 1.2 (25.6 versus 24.4) made the difference between having and not having this kind of injury. (To learn more about BMI, read HPRC's explanation.)
Like the adage "You don't know what you've got until it's gone," knees are something we generally take for granted. To stay on top of your game, you need your knees. An easy way to protect them is to drop the extra weight you're asking them to carry around.
Warfighters and family members looking to track their food choices now can use the United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (called The Standard Reference or SR). This nutrient data is widely used and has been incorporated into many smart phone "apps" and interactive websites. Of particular interest is the USDA's SuperTracker, where users can customize their dietary plan and physical activity. For more information, read how to access this nutritional data.
In October 2012, students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences participated in Operation Bushmaster at Fort Indiantown Gap, PA. The exercise involved a simulated combat environment to test the limits of their physical fitness as well as mental resilience. Military medical students were tasked with managing patient flow in an operational environment, such as tactical relocation over uneven terrain and dealing with changes in environmental conditions.
From a human performance optimization (HPO) standpoint, take-home points for the practical exercise included the importance of being physically fit, especially following guidelines for the prevention of back injuries, and implementing mental strategies for coping in high stress situations.
Part of a comprehensive fitness program involves improving your muscular strength and endurance. One way to figure out how much weight you should be lifting is to determine your one-repetition maximum (1RM). The American College of Sports Medicine recommends lifting 8–12 repetitions of 60-80% of a person's 1RM to improve muscular strength and endurance. However, doing a 1RM test isn't always feasible or safe if you don't have someone to spot you. Instead, try using this this quick-and-easy calculator to estimate what your 1RM should be for a given exercise.
Lugging around heavy weights and other exercise equipment while traveling or on deployment isn't the most practical idea. Pack a couple of suspension-training straps, however, and you've got part of a well-rounded training routine covered. Suspension training has gained a lot of popularity among both civilians and service members alike, and more and more gyms are now offering suspension-training classes. Once the straps are securely anchored to something that won't move and is sturdy enough to hold your weight, place your hands or feet into the loops, and your body weight enhances the effectiveness of exercises such as push-ups, lunges, core strengthening, and more. While there are various ways to adjust and adapt the exercises for less experienced exercisers, this type of workout requires some initial joint and core stability. There is also potential risk of injury, especially for beginners. Before you try this for the first time, it's a good idea to get some advice and guidance from a suspension-training professional.
The Army has several resources to help you train for the Physical Fitness Test (APFT) and to build and maintain your fitness levels throughout the year. HPRC has issued a series of documents to help you increase aerobic fitness as well as muscular strength and endurance. Under the Army PRT tab in our Physical Fitness Program Guides section you will find links to videos that demonstrate specific preparation, conditioning, and recovery drills found in TC 3-22.20, Army Physical Readiness Training, as well as other sources of information to guide you in developing and carrying through on your training commitment.
In the war against childhood obesity, senior military leaders are taking a stand in the name of national security. The retired generals and admirals of "Mission: Readiness" are doing their part to combat childhood obesity by calling on Congress to remove junk food and high-calorie drinks from schools by adopting the Institute of Medicine standards for what can be served in schools, increasing funding for more nutritious meals, and supporting the development of public health interventions. The group is concerned that current school policies and lack of high nutritional standards are leading to unhealthy food choices in the form of vending machine snacks and sugary drinks. As much as 40% of children's caloric intake occurs at school, so clearly schools have an important role to play. Retired U.S. Army General Johnnie E. Wilson points out that "We need America's service members to be in excellent physical condition because they have such an important job to do." The most recent report by the Mission: Readiness organization estimates that 27% of young Americans are still too fat to fight and not healthy enough to serve their country. In an analysis of military standards, being overweight was the leading medical reason for being rejected from the military between 1995 and 2008. While these military leaders may be fighting for your kids, the real battle begins at home. Encourage healthy eating and lifestyle behaviors by staying fit as a family.
