Reviews for Cinnamon Pork Tenderloin
"We made this, along with another tenderloin that my husband put a rub on. Both tasted wonderful, but we don't like how the marinade makes the outside of it rubbery. We're pretty sure it's because of the marinade. When we buy those ones pre-marinated and packaged, they're the same way. But I'm not going to delete it out of my recipe box."
"This is my favorite recipe for pork tenderloins!"
"This pork tenderloin had so much flavor! It was even better the next day."
"This was popular with everyone in my house but me. I guess I found the cinnamon flavor a little too unusual. It came out nice and juicy from my broiler, but I don't think I'd make it again."
"Very yummy. My husband loves cinnamon and he definitely loved this too!"

Provided by the New Orleans Saints, here is a transcript of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman's teleconference Wednesday with New Orleans media.
What have you learned over the course of two NFL starts?"I've learned a lot. Whether it be learning about myself, what defenses are trying to do to me, speeding up my game to make it a little even, because sometimes there are instances like last week where I was scrambling and I felt like I had more time. Some of those d linemen ended up closing on me pretty fast and ended up stripping it out."
What have you learned about yourself?
"My preparation week to week, just what it takes to give your team a chance to win."
Does Will Smith stand out to you at all?
"Yes. They have a lot of guys that that stand out. They play a really aggressive style. They have a lot of standouts. We haven't really gotten into a ton of personnel. There's a whole lot of schemes and looking at the pressures."
Did everyone seem to be on board with the rebuilding effort?
"I guess. You have to go along with it. Everybody wants to be successful. That's the way the management is going along with it. Everybody's bought in and going in the same direction."
Was it hard for the club to go through the start to the season?
"Yes. It's always miserable when you're not winning. For me in particular, not being in the game, being on the bench and having your team lose is really tough."
What have you seen in the growth of Raheem Morris as a head coach?
"Coach Morris has done a good job. He demands respect from the team. The team respects him, and everybody plays hard for him. He's found a way to be a player's coach, but at the same time maintain the respect he has for everyone."
Have you noticed growth in him from week one to week ten in how he goes about things?
"I don't know. I don't really know what being a head coach all entails, but from what I've seen he's been doing a great job."
What additional things do you want to get better at after your first two starts?
"I definitely say fumbling. Versus Green Bay we had a fumbled snap. This week we had one where I fumbled and one where I dropped a shotgun snap. It's definitely being more ball secure."
How long did you expect to wait before playing? Did you expect to not play this season or expect to get a chance?
"I really didn't know at first going through camp because Luke McCown and Byron Leftwich, they were the showcase competition. They ended up trading Luke and moving Josh Johnson to second string. At that point, I was thinking I might get to play. Then they made the switch to Josh, played me at second string. That's when I really felt like I would get an opportunity at some point this year."
Was it everything you hoped for?
"It's definitely very emotional for me, not necessarily because it's the NFL, but because it's the thrill of competition, always trying to find a way to win and putting all you have into it."

Biographical method
The biographical method is the collection and analysis of an intensive account of a whole life or portion of a life, usually by an in-depth, unstructured interview. The account may be reinforced by semi-structured interviewing or personal documents. Rather than concentrating upon a 'snapshot' of an individual's present situation, the biographical approach emphasises the placement of the individual within a nexus of social connections, historical events and life experiences (the life history). An important sub-stream of the method focuses upon the manner in which the respondent actively constructs a narrative of their life in response to the social context at the time of interview (the life story). 'The biographical perspective' and the use of life histories as a method of social research has a long pedigree, stretching back to Thomas and Znanicki's highly influential The Polish Peasant in Europe and America (1918-20), which devoted a whole volume to the Credit ...

David Stringer and Sheela Bringi played kirtan on March 14, 2014 through the auspices of Yoga on High. The Christian Spiritualist Temple was the venue and the kirtan concert reflected the great acoustics and high energy of David, Sheela and the participating audience. David knows how to get the audience intimately engaged in kirtan.
David Stringer has a great voice, musical skills that has him deserve his reputation as one of the best kirtan performers around. Sheela Bringi is equally gifted, and the inclusion of her harp and flute added a whole new dimension to the event. David offered several of his CDs at the modest price of $10, as did Sheela with her debut CD, Incantations.
The percussionist, Narada Wise, is from Canton, OH. As is often the case, David played with Narada for the first time and it went well. The tabla player, Radha Gopinath, is from Philadelphia. David, Sheela and Radha are heading to Ft. Wayne, IN for Saturday night kirtan and then on to Louisville for a Sunday night kirtan.
The concert was over 2 ½ hours of high energy call-and-response kirtan led by David and supported by Sheela and the audience. David added some helpful instructions on the more intricate Sanskrit chants, and also talked a little about how kirtan has progressed to focus on the music over the dogma associated with Eastern religions. It was all about the music, and the music was great.
Jasmine Grace, a co-owner of Yoga on High, is committed to bringing kirtan to a new level in Columbus. It is a great cause and it will add another dimension to the culture and spirit of Columbus. The next kirtan at Yoga on High is Saturday, May 3, 2014 from 8 to 10 p.m. Girish and his band will lead kirtan. Girish: Diamonds in the Sun was recommended and featured in the Feb. 2013 issue of Oprah's magazine O. Tickets are $25 in advance at 614-291-4444614-291-4444 and $30 at the door. Yoga on High is located at 1081 N. High Street, Columbus, OH 43201.
David Stringer has provided renewed energy to Columbus for kirtan. You can be a part of making it happen. It is always about the music and all the people involved in kirtan generating spiritual energy.

One of the most attractive, medium-sized, blue conifers, with sprays of lacy-textured foliage glistening in a particularly satisfying shade of silvery blue, especially in late spring when the flush of new growth occurs. A good specimen plant in a heather bed or with other colourful, low ground cover. Avoid shading the base of the plant to prevent the lower part turning brown - it does not stand shade. The Royal Hortcultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

The widespread distribution of insects over many ecological niches is a testimony to their evolutionary success. The colonization of environments at high latitudes or altitudes required the evolution of biochemical strategies that reduced the impact of cold or freezing stress. This review focuses on our current interests in some of the genes and proteins involved in low temperature survival in insects. Although the most widespread form of protection is the synthesis of low molecular weight polyol cryoprotectants, proteins with intrinsic protective properties, such as the thermal hysteresis or antifreeze proteins are also important. These have been cloned and characterized in certain moths and beetles. Molecular techniques allowing the isolation of genes differentially regulated by low temperatures have revealed that heat shock proteins, cold stress proteins, membrane protectants, as well as ice nucleators and other less well characterized proteins likely also play a role in cold hardiness.

Secrets of Success
Happy Tuesday That Feels More Like Monday!
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
I hope everyone who reads this (all 3 or 4 of you) is having a fantastic start to their week! It was, for me anyway, a nice long weekend. I am back to my weekly rush, and while I am not working today, it always seems as though there is plenty to be done. I am a Mom and a fiance (soon to be wife) and that by definition makes me a taxi. 3 kids, 3 schools, 3 different towns and two working adults, one car. I am not sure the math makes sense, but we make it work.
Today's Thoughts:
I have been thinking a lot about my fears and insecurities lately. Some are hard to think about and even harder to admit. They are like roadblocks, not just in my weight loss journey, but to EVERYTHING in life.
When did I get to be so afraid?
I am working on confronting those fears. Admitting them, like any problem, is the first step to over coming them. Today's fears:
1. I work on call, when I don't work, I feel like I let my family, especially my fiance, down.
2. I am afraid I will over eat in a fit of hunger, in fact, I am starting to get hungry now.
3. I am afraid my emotions will run away with me, at some point today, and I will snap at my family for unnecessary reasons.
To begin to overcome these fears, I am going to attempt to use positive self talk. I used to be such an optimistic person. I still am, for the most part, but I have become so very hard on myself.
Today I have decided:
1. While I do work whenever I can, I do a lot around the house when I am home. We are not hurting, homeless or hungry. The laundry is done. Dinner is in the crock pot and the house is clean. Today will still be full of accomplishments.
2. I am hungry because it is almost lunch time. That is okay. It is okay to be hungry. I will eat soon. Drink lots of water, have a fiber one bar this afternoon and be fine. I will survive until dinner. If I can stick to that, I have a sweet treat planned for tonight that I have already accounted for on my calorie tracker. REWARD!
3. My fiance tells me its the expression of my emotions that he loves about me. I rarely SNAP at my family and usually internalize most emotions. The worst that can happen, I get upset, bothered, a few tears and its over. It is okay to express those emotions.
4. I have enjoyed exceptionally clear skin lately, that itself is cause to feel great!!!
That being said, I need to start a load of laundry and make myself a sandwich for lunch. I am counting down the hours until Zumba tonight and the days until the weekend in which my fiance and I get a few days kid free. Sleep, rest, and probably a little fun.
Happy Tuesday Y'all!

Based on weight, what two materials are recovered and recycled the most in the United States?
Be the first person to post the correct answer in the comments section below and you will win at $10 gift card to The Home Depot.
Yesterday's trivia question was how many gallons of water a day fuel the average American lifestyle?
The answer is 2,000 gallons. What may come as a surprise is that very little of the 2,000 gallons per day —only five percent—runs through toilets, taps and garden hoses at home. Nearly 95 percent of each person's water footprint is hidden in the food you eat, energy you use, products you buy and services you rely on. Click here to use National Geographic's water footprint calculator.
Yesterday's question was tricky so we did not have a winner. Thanks to Alissa Thomsen and Kellie McClellan for two good guesses, though.

General Information
Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO)
What is a House of Multiple Occupation, or HMO as they are better known?
HMOs are houses which are occupied by more than two households and in which more than two households share an amenity (or the building lacks an amenity) such as a bathroom, toilet or cooking facilities.
In simple terms if you are renting out to more than two unrelated people, your property is an HMO and will need to comply under the Housing Act 2004.
If your property houses five or more people it is an HMO and is Licensable. You will therefore have to apply for a License from the Local Authority before you can rent it out.
For more details regarding Houses of Multiple Occupation and Licensing requirements please contact us directly, or contact the Private Sector Housing Team for further advice:
Housing Office
Tel +44 (0)1895 266187
Private Sector Housing Team
Tel +44 (0)1895 250189
Health and safety requirements
All HMOs must also comply with the Schedule of Works provided by the Private Sector Housing Team, which can be obtained directly from them at the Civic Centre (see the address above).
In addition, all properties must fulfill the following requirements:
- All properties must have a current Landlords' Gas Safety Certificate, which should be undertaken by a Gas Safe Registered gas fitter. This is renewable on an annual basis.
- All properties must have a current Electrical Periodic Inspection Report, which should be undertaken by an approved NICEIC electrician. This is renewable every five years or sooner if specified on the certificate.
- All furniture and furnishings in the property need to satisfy the rules on fire safety, which came into effect on 1 March 1993. Beds and mattresses should carry fixed labels stating that they are fire resistant in accordance with BS7177. Sofas and armchairs need to carry a fixed label stating that they comply with the Furniture and Furnishings Regulations 1988. If you are unsure whether the furniture in your property complies, do not worry, as we will confirm this for you when we visit the property.
- All properties should have mains wired and interlinked smoke alarms.
- All properties must contain a fire extinguisher, which must be serviced on an annual basis.
Tenancy Deposit Protection
Since April 2007, all new deposits taken in respect of letting out your property must be protected in a government approved Deposit Scheme.
Full details regarding the schemes can be obtained through the Communities and Local Government website.
Energy Performance Certificates
Since 1 October 2008, Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) are required on rented properties, which are not classed as HMO's. This would include studio's, one and two bedroom flats or houses which are occupied as family homes.
For further information, please see the CLG website.

Last night I went on my first date, my first in 14 years. It may be another 14 years before I do it again. Don't get me wrong— my date was intelligent, cute, funny, and possessed one of my favorite qualities: self-deprecation. This was especially impressive because he is a doctor. Correction: a surgeon. I think I should have started with a paper boy.
On my drive home, I replayed in my mind every excruciating moment. I had an overwhelming feeling that I had broken every dating rule ever written. So when I arrived home, I logged onto firstdate.com. I read in horror the long list of "dating don'ts." Sure enough, I had unwittingly committed nearly every one. The only thing missing was my photo, hanging above the list like a wild-west wanted poster. In the 60-watt clarity of my desk lamp, each of the rules seemed so obvious:
1. Do not talk about your ex-spouse on a first date. Not only did I talk about my ex, I practically told his entire life story, starting from conception: his terrible childhood, his resultant baggage, his brilliant mind, and the fact that, although he is my ex, we're still good friends and I love him. At this point, I'm sure my date was trying to figure out how long it would be before my ex and I were back together…unless he was too busy looking for the restaurant's emergency exit. Thankfully, I left out the part about my ex having intimacy issues and all that that implies. How I managed to contain this part of the story, I have no idea. I must have actually let my date speak. Or, perhaps seeing where I was going with this storyline, he was kind enough to interrupt me.
2. Do not mention sex on a first date. Well, technically, I did not break this rule, as I believe this actually means you're not supposed to mention that you'd like to have sex on the first date. But here's the rub (at least figuratively): since my job involves learning about teens and their everyday challenges, when my date asked what my research shows, I could have mentioned peer pressure, drinking or drugs. But no, I had the uncommon good sense to talk about the recent trend of girls giving boys oral sex as routinely as those of us from decades past used to French kiss. Only I didn't say "oral sex," I said "blow jobs." Talk about polite dinner conversation! According to firstdate.com, this is grounds for an immediate end to any date, unless you're actually offering said blow job. To be fair, my date did not seem put off and, in fact, said he had heard about this trend. Still, I don't think I scored any extra points in the lady-like department when I tried back-pedaling, "Don't get me wrong, I'm all for oral sex." What in the world was he supposed to make of that?
3. Do not mention the date's ex on a first date. I don't know how we got on this one, but in fact, both of my date's exes were mentioned. Unlike me, he was smart enough to give abbreviated versions. At least I was able to reign in my journalistic tendency to ask 100 questions in 60 seconds. One point for me. Not nearly enough to make up for my failing score.
4. Ladies should not drink beer on a first date. Not only did I order and drink a beer, I explained to my date that the café we were patronizing used to carry a fabulous beer that is no longer available due to the fact that the brewery – which had been owned by a woman, no less — was recently shut down, and I was terribly disappointed because it was one of the best-tasting beers I had ever had and if I could, I would buy that brewery. Yes, I actually said that, and without a breath, just like it reads here. At which point my date said, naturally, "Oh, you really know your beers." I don't think he meant it as a compliment.

In December 2010, designer Dominique Falla made a foolish and public declaration that she would devote herself for a whole year to one typeface and one typeface only—Helvetica. It would appear that the year went remarkably well for Dominique, and she felt it was only appropriate to say 'goodbye' to Helvetica properly.
This book documents the typographic installation Goodbye Helvetica, which took place in early 2012, in the Surfer's Paradise Transit Centre on Australia's Gold Coast.
The project was installed over the course of five weeks in a curated research space facilitated by Griffith University, and forms part of Falla's ongoing doctoral research into Tactile Typography. The book showcases all ten works, the construction behind each one and a little about the motivation behind each piece and also gives us an insight into the linkage between a relationship break-up with a person and the parallels she draws with the break-up with the typeface.

Sunday, though, something went wrong with the front end of Donath's car, and he hit the first-turn wall at Cayuga County Fairgrounds.
The Glen goes old-school
Watkins Glen International will celebrate 60 years of racing at the track with a vintage Formula 5000 race Sunday, and other F5000 events throughout the weekend.
One race remains to determine the 12 finalists for the Sprint Cup title. Eighteen-year-old Joey Logano is hoping to qualify for his debut Cup race at Richmond.
The race will include some drama, too: Kasey Kahne and David Ragan are on the outside looking into the top 12, but they have the opportunity to knock Danny Hamlin and Clint Bowyer out of their spots.
Fans, jump in the forum and talk motorsports.

Netflix' recent moves to decouple their streaming and video-by-mail businesses & raise their prices yielded some very interesting interpretations. Here are a couple of noteworthy ones.
From Dan Frommer on SplatF.com:
The future of Netflix's business is streaming video — not mailing plastic discs to your home. So the businessmotivation behind Netflix's move to split its DVD rental business off as Qwikster is clear. If it allows Netflix to focus on the future, this decision could pay off big, and people will someday laugh and joke about this weird transition.
From Jason Gilbert in the Huffington Post:
The embattled CEO of Netflix has done a good, smart, honorable and difficult thing by axing Qwikster. He has shown that he is not insensitive to the demands and grievances of his customers, and that he is not afraid to admit, in public, that he has made a mistake. There is also the possibility that the most exciting development from Qwikster--namely, that Netflix would be getting into the video game business--is still on: A Netflix representative told tech blog SplatF that the company is "still considering" renting out games. Good for them, and good for Hastings.
What is not good for them, or good for Hastings, is that the existence of Qwikster is not an awful collective nightmare that will vanish upon waking. The very real Qwikster debacle is still a reality, as is the bungled price hike and aftermath. The misstep suggests to the public that Hastings is out of touch with what his customers want, a perception that a CEO cannot afford to have. It was a smart decision to mercy-kill Qwikster as quietly as possible before launch--even if it did prevent the rubber-necking American public the catharsis of watching it fail--though Netflix is still a damaged, blemished company in the wake of Hastings' four months of mistakes. Hastings has righted his wrong, but he has not elevated the company back to that high point of consumer confidence where it once so comfortably lived.
As with any major strategic move, a final grade can't be assigned for years, and only with the benefit of hindsight will we either "laugh and joke" about the meaningless static around this move, or mourn what Netflix could have been if they hadn't screwed up so badly. So, check back here in 2015 and see who was right.

Losing weight no longer feels like a big accomplishment
Thursday, January 30, 2014
I used to think that once I lost weight everything would fall into place. That dream guy I had been waiting for would magically appear--I would land my dream job and my confidence would be limitless. Although I did get a promotion--calling it my dream job would be an exaggeration and I am still single! However, my confidence has improved dramatically.... but I still have days when I do not feel my best. Despite my status and my career pretty much remaining the same, 80 lbs ago I was a completely different person--someone who was incredibly unhappy with who she was, and the only thing that ran through my mind was that if I "got skinny" I would be happy and everything would be perfect. Things are NEVER perfect, but they have changed, a lot, and for the better. Now, that I have lost weight I finally feel free and am allowing myself to focus on other things. Things that make me happy and things that will improve my life. Things that challenge me and better me as a person. Although remaining healthy will always remain at the top of my list, there is so much more I yearn to accomplish now and it is sad to say that it was my lack of confidence in myself that has held me back all these years. Now there is so much more that I want to set out to accomplish, and it no longer revolves just around losing a lb or two.

Bravo on your weight loss. I salute you for achieving a loss of 80 lbs. It takes planning, patience and dedication. I am certain that you will be able to take on your next adventure, no matter what it may be.
Thanks also for sharing this post. It's an important topic.
I too used to believe that everything would magically fall into place once I lost the weight. Then I read many Spark blogs that showed me that this wouldn't be the case. Thanks to blogs like yours, I decided to start tackling my issues early on.
The majority of the change I have experienced during this journey took place when I realized that the weight was the result - not the cause - of issues I hadn't dealt with. I stopped blaming my weight for everything, asked for help, and the SparkCommunity rallied. Thanks to them and my real life friends, I have been able to grow, gain confidence, and move forward.
I wish you much success in whatever project you take on next. This is an exciting time for you, full of potential and possibilities. Best wishes to you !!!

I'm guilty of assuming that somehow if I could just get down to my goal weight everything would be better. I love your attitude... it's almost like a carpe diem kind of thing. Why wait to be happy? Why wait to make your dreams come true? Thanks for the reminder!

You are awesome! I think many of us were guilty at some point thinking "if i were just skinny everything will be perfect." When I realized that my life would be the same (in many ways), just in a smaller, healthier body, that is when I learned to be happy in general and with life. And some things did change, like my self esteem going up and my confidence coming back slowly but surely, and as you mentioned I am much happier now. So there are definitely some perks, and we just have to have hope the rest will fall into place. (I'm still single too lol)

This to me is a great post. It just goes to show you that losing weight is so much more than just the numbers. Psychologically, weight gain ( at least to me anyway because I am no expert here) is a result of suppressing things that we have trouble dealing with. It's kind of a protective shield in a way. It becomes easy to hide behind the weight and blame the weight for why we can't do this or that. It allows us to avoid the real issues at hand because now the weight is the issue. ( this is not to dismiss any medical issues that may result in weight gain)
I think your blog on this topic is extremely important and needs to be shared with others so I for one will be sharing! =)
Best wishes to you on you journey and know that even though losing the weight may no longer feel like a big accomplishment...it has accomplished something very big for you... insight and self - awareness. You want more out of your life and are ready to go for it. You can only go up from here =)

We think you'll be impressed with how this Betsey Johnson Lace-Up Leather Jacket ($495) is made. First of all, gatherers from Southern Angola stand back to back (in groups of eight). At the sound of an elephant's trumpet, the gatherers spread out, searching for the elusive polyester tree (native to Angola, so it seems). The polyester is pulled, strand by strand, then knitted together by area artisans.
It's a little late and we're a bit slap-happy here. In any case, we've decided that the manufacturing process employed in constructing a jacket that looks this great from every angle doesn't really matter. Oh, and get this: we can machine wash it. Score!
Wow, does that Betsey Johnson makes some fun stuff. Wanna See?

In the newest clip released, on Jan. 10 by ABC Family, "Pretty Little Liars" Hannah recently had a break up with long time boyfriend, Caleb but does this clip reveal who Hannah's new boyfriend will be?
Rumors and websites are abuzz that Hannah will be pairing up with the gas station boy, Travis played by Luke Kleintank. In this upcoming episode, "Love Shack Baby", Hannah and Travis meet up for coffee and a little flirting is going on between the two. Is he her new love interest? Many fans think so.
Travis has had his eye on Hannah since they first met last season at his dad's gas station and then later at the dance.
You can see the clip here.
There are also multiple hints from the show in this clip, like the police are looking for CeCe for the death of Wilden because there was a huge cash deposit into her bank account.
Also this episode, each girl will read their deep dark secrets in the diary and none of them are ready for anyone, including each other to know about it. Each story is more intense than the last one and each girl is scared that their weakness will get out.
And this episode must include Ezra and his creepy shack hence the title of the episode, "Love Shack Baby" and what does Spencer's dad have to talk about with Mrs. DiLaurentis? Oh that's right, their son.
So, now that Alison is back, will their lives get even more complicated? Is Hannah and Caleb really over? Is Travis her new love?
"Pretty Little Liars" next episode will air this Tuesday at 8:00 pm EST.

Another Faded Beauty
I have included this post in my documenting derelict heritage category but this may be a bit unfair for this particular property. While the house is clearly not lived in it is getting some basic upkeep. The lawn is mowed, the windows are intact and there is a good roof on the house. I am not all that clear on the story but I believe that the house is part of a family dispute. Currently this building is not in as much trouble as many of the derelict buildings I have photographed in the past. This being said, it still has a faded glory which I find appealing.
From the road the first things you notice about this house are the size and symmetry. This is an excellent example of a two-storey Georgian Neo-Classical Style House. The symmetrical placement of the windows around a central door are hallmarks of this style. Another typical element in this style of house are the low hanging eaves which, in this case, almost cover the top two inches of the windows. Judging solely by the style of the house, I would place the date of the building around 1800 or before. Somewhere within the foggy reaches of my memory I can remember someone telling me that the house was dated around 1820 but this seems late to me.
There is very little decoration on this house. The door is topped by an entablature which is supported by a simple pediment on either side. This is a very pretty feature which adds some formality to the entrance. While there is a storm door on the house I am willing to guess that that there is probably a fanlight at the top of the door. The curved top of the storm door seems to fit the general shape of a fanlight. This fanlight would have added light to the central hallway of the house. The windows have no elaboration in their design. Interestingly, most of the windows are the original six over six wooden sash windows. There are a few instances where two over two sashes have replaced the originals. The other dominant feature is the central brick chimney. This was almost undoubtedly made with locally made bricks.
As I was looking at the house, one of the features which caught my eye was an addition to one of the storm windows. At the bottom of the window was a small panel which could be lifted. We have a storm window like this at the O'Dell House Museum. The purpose of this panel is to permit the residents of the house to allow a small amount of fresh air into the house on fine days. If the weather was cold and storming, the panel would be kept closed. Another feature on the western side of the house were the nails used to hold the wooden clapboard in place. Rosehead nails of this sort were hand forged by a blacksmith and give a good idea as to how long the siding has been on the house.
When I was walking away from the house I noticed something which gave this quiet old property a great deal of humanity. Leaning up against an old apple tree was a metal ladder. I wonder how many family members came out the back door to grab an apple off the tree before heading to the fields. How many dinners were finished with a pie made from the fruit of this tree? Were these apples cut into rings and dried for winter or were they eaten fresh with a random trickle of juice running down a child's chin?
All for now,

What a lovely home! I spend a lot of time trolling the real estate sites for properties in your area and I always wonder about some of the grand old dames that sit empty and unsold. Of course there are dozens more like this one not even listed for sale which I only get to see when someone like you shares them...so thank you! I imagine all the stories each of the homes could tell and what they must have been like when a family filled their rooms.ReplyDelete
One of my favorites is the Willett House in Granville Ferry - I've read the little tidbits on the heritage buildings site but I sure wish there was more of the story available for that place...if it's still empty and for sale when we're ready to move it will be a serious contender for us. For now, when I daydream about where we'll live when we move the Willett House property is usually the back-drop.

National Public Radio's "Tell Me More" invited me to appear on the "Beauty Shop" which I blog about in "TWLC's Viviana Hurtado on NPR's "Tell More More" with Michel Martin." Like "Barber Shop," the end-of-the-show segment is modeled after the conversations exchanged in spaces where friends gather and talk about hot topics in a real, break-it-down way. This is what people out in America, as opposed to Washington, do on a daily basis–figure out how politics and policies that are/not working impact their community made up of family and neighbors.
The vibrant, relevant, edgy, diverse conservation with smart, bold women Jessica Coen, Editor-in-Chief of Jezebel, Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and University of Georgia professor Cynthia Tucker, and Danielle Belton, founder of the politics and pop culture blog The Black Snob inspired this post on Zoe Saldana's role in the movie "Colombiana" in the context of the opportunities for women, especially actors of color, in Hollywood and the media.
As it appears in the Huffington Post Latino Voices:
Why This "Colombiana" Is Going to Watch Colombiana
"Never forget where you came from" repeats throughout the trailer of Colombiana, the action-packed movie where hero Cataleya — played by Zoe Saldana — avenges her parents' murder.
Women are equal parts seething at one more hyper-sexualized and violent Hollywood exploitation of our gender and cheering that Cataleya rocks action scenes in a catsuit.
To protest a passé representation of the Andean nation that reinforces stereotypes of drugs and Pablo Escobar-era violence, the college student and young professional network PorColombia re-made the film's poster, replacing the gun the fierce main character caresses with flowers, and changing the subtitle "Vengeance is Beautiful" to "Colombia is Beautiful."
Still, I'm dying to see it.
Cataleya has seduced me — a "Yuban" Colombiana — 100 percent Colombian bean. Made in the U.S.A.
The thugs who killed Cataleya's parents underestimate her because "she's just a girl." The character waiting to melt a hardened heart is not female, but Saldana's love interest played by hunk Michael Vartan from the TV show Alias. "I'm doing this my way!" Cataleya bellows while defying S.W.A.T. teams, karate-chopping, and loading guns.
She is kicking some serious cola.
But is Cataleya a symbol of independence and strength? Or is she just one more example of Hollywood reducing Latinas to exotic stereotypes à la fruit basket crowned Carmen Miranda and "cuchi-cuchi" Charo, or that of submissive maid–a role Mexican-American actor Lupe Ontiveros has played up to 300 times?
Given these options, maybe it's better to be invisible as we are in most national nightly newscasts or mainstream magazines rather than be represented in static caricatures? If Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft or Evelyn Salt does not speak for all white women, why would Zoe as Cataleya embody every Hispanic woman on the planet?
Cataleya doesn't. But the media beams powerful images.
Actors of color, especially Latinas, need to fill a diversity of roles, such as Sara Ramírez's vulnerable Dr. Callie Torres on Grey's Anatomy, Eva Longoria's capricious Gabrielle Solís on Desperate Housewives, or Naya Rivera's mean girl Santana Lopez on Glee. These women nail the parts of a multi-faceted doctor, housewife, or cheerleader. That the actresses and characters are Hispanic is a "plus one" that sends a strong message to American society that we are an integral part of this country. Crucially, it also communicates to Latinitas that you, too, can aspire beyond the barrio and be a ________. I will let them fill in the blank.
Does adding an asesina/avenger to the mix activate Wonder Twin powers? Does it represent a form of a more complex role for Latinas?
Is Cataleya going to improve the lives of Hispanic women, struggling through (double dip?) recession, raising children sometimes alone, equally defying low cultural and societal expectations, as well as balancing school, work, and/or relationships?
But Saldana acting in "another" type of role–as a tough action heroine–can open up other options, as it did for Angelina Jolie who played Mariane Pearl, the widow of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, in A Mighty Heart after Lara Croft: Tomb Raider–the ensuing exposure helping Jolie secure the position and deserved praise as a Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
"Casting" women–in film and real life–in multi-dimensional roles does not only have the power to influence and eventually change debates on gender roles. A more accurate representation in the media also synchs better with reality since we are career women, moms, spouses, sisters, B-F-Fs, students, often times all at once.
We might not know true equality the day we see Colombiana Sofía Vergara playing a Tina-Fey-Liz-Lemon character on 30 Rock in a loose-fitting turtleneck. But it will be a good start.

Ever since we had some crazy power surges last week my 64 bit Windows 7 PC has been acting strange. My USB network adapter disconnects from the wireless and can't detect the signal. I have to disable/reenable the adapter to detect it again. Also my wife has reported that the PC has rebooted a few times while I'm not sitting at it.
Today, I finally caught the reboot while I was using the PC. I got this blue screen of death. Stop Code 0x00000109:
"Modification of system code or a critical data structure was detected."
I followed the advice at the linked article and ran a memory test. I used memtest86 and it has already found around 300,000 errors out of 8 gigs of ram.
Now I'm worried -- what are the odds this is isolated to just my memory and not a system wide problem? Isn't there a good chance that many other components are fried? More importantly, how can I test those other components? Are there tools similar to memtest I can use to test my motherboard/video card/power supply? If these are vender specific, is it typical for vendors to provide testing tools?

This is the second installment in a series of artist profiles that depict CCA's connection to the Oakland Art Murmur -- in particular to 25th Street in downtown Oakland, where in almost any given gallery, shop, or studio, artists from California College of the Arts are making their living in the arts. Collectively, they are changing the cultural landscape of Oakland, elevating its reputation as one of today's most talked-about art scenes.
About the Oakland Art Murmur
"If you craft it, they will come." That's the going mantra in downtown Oakland, the heart of the East Bay's newly exploding art scene. The recent surge in the city's contribution to the wider Bay Area's cultural arts scene is attributed, in large part, to the hipster-driven, Dionysian celebration known as the Oakland Art Murmur, a monthly nighttime gathering of art enthusiasts of all ages . . . and those who love them.
Watch Getting Out for Oakland's First Fridays, CCA's video tribute to the Oakland Art Murmur!
Art Murmur takes the first Friday of the month from 6 to 9 p.m., but for those who like to take things a little slower, a next-day Saturday Stroll from 1 to 5 p.m. exists that lets folks who prefer to meander the galleries at a more . . . mature pace enjoy the art tour without the fanfare that typically accompanies the nighttime crowd. December offers multiple Saturday Strolls.
Oakland Is the New Scene
Oakland is revealing itself to be quite the up-and-coming arts scene for doers and makers as well as for buyers and sellers. Earlier in 2011 Art Digital Magazine artist and editor Max Eternity acknowledged the "benefits of a hip and thriving art scene" in his Huffington Post online feature, "Oakland's Art Explosion."
"Part of Oakland's artistic success may be the result of its once-a-month Oakland Art Murmur," explains Eternity. "It's a 'First Friday' meet and greet, for which 24 participating galleries located in relative proximity host receptions and open-house gatherings from 6 to 9 p.m."
The festive and enthusiastic attendance at these gatherings has steadily increased, now drawing in an estimated several thousand artists each month, which has contributed to Oakland's newly acquired reputation as a hip art scene.
And in the midst of this so-called cultural (r)evolution, not surprisingly, one can find a disproportionately large number of CCA community members: students and alumni alike.
In fact, as one walks along 25th Street (between Broadway and Telegraph Avenue), which is now included as part of the Art Murmur route, half a dozen establishments in this relatively short distance have occupants or residents who are directly tied to CCA:

Changing Cultural Landscape
It used to be Oakland was better known for its downtrodden economy and social unrest, but the Oakland Art Murmur has caused a ripple effect in this repressed city, inspiring its citizens to paint a new picture for artists, and by extension recoloring the reputation of the city.
It's fair to ask how one relatively small social event can change the reputation of an entire city, but the appeal of the Oakland Art Murmur and its faithful followers has led to the addition of bold and innovative private galleries; studio cooperatives whose artists are pushing the boundaries of what craft means today; and business collectives that are implementing sustainable solutions in their industry practices.
For all these reasons and more, it's time to hear firsthand from the artists themselves what the heck is going on in Oakland, and to what extent is CCA a subculture of this exciting movement.
Ceramicist and FM Cofounder Joe Kowalczyk
Joe Kowalczyk (BFA Ceramics 2006), pronounced Ko-väl-chick, along with artists Ofra Fisher, Michael Steffen, and Peter St. Lawrence* (BFA Ceramics 2001), is a cofounder and director of FM (located at 483 25th Street), a studio collective in which artists can rent space to produce and showcase their work during Art Murmur as well as open studios, both of which play a vital role in keeping the artists' work visible in the community.
FM Gallery & CCA Artists
In addition to the eight studio rentals at FM, an exhibition space located at the entrance is also used to promote local artists each month. In February the gallery promoted Alexis Aurora Babayan's (BFA Painting/Drawing 2004) exhibition, East Bay Window, which featured woodcut prints. In July 2010 current Illustration student Mike Lees's Welcome to Hobo-Opolis: An Illustrated History was featured.
Curator and craftsman Chris Vogel, who studied in CCA's Printmaking Program in 2006, will have an exhibition at FM in February, titled Vs., that will feature new work that "explores perspective and dimension through geometric modules." An opening reception is set for Friday, February 3, to coincide with the Murmur. (Visit the artist's website ».)
Two additional CCA tie-ins to FM are current student Jessica Jenkins and Julie Ann Travis (MFA 2007) who each rent space at FM.
Kowalczyk will have an exhibition of his latest work, Savior, Scarecrow, and Spirit of Ancient Past (a working title), at FM gallery March 2 through 31, with an opening reception Friday, March 2, from 6 to 10 p.m.
The Artist's Perspective: Joe Kowalczyk
What's something you've learned at CCA and applied directly to your work?
(JK) CCA introduced me to effective studio habits such as the importance of balancing work and play. I developed a strong and diligent work ethic, but also learned this needs to be balanced with habits of play that inform and inspire my creative ambitions. I was able to develop voice, craft, and focus within my work so that when I finished school I had already established ideas to work off of and further develop.
As for business, I learned how to fix kilns at CCA, and now I run my own kiln repair business.
Why Oakland? Why 25th Street?
(JK) The Oakland Art Murmur has become a more accessible outlet for artists in general. It has snowballed from six participating galleries in 2006 to over 20-something galleries (not including the unlisted galleries) of all different levels.
The exciting accumulation of venues on 25th Street developed within the last two years. Why there are so many CCA alumni probably has something to do with the possibility that when people graduate, they enjoy the Bay Area so much that they decide to make it a home, stay connected, and stay active.
In general CCA seems to produce a population of artists that stay active and thrive.
What are some of the values and lessons you learned at CCA?
(JK) I attained the understanding of networking with fellow peers and faculty (i.e., staying in contact about shows/events that you or your friends are working on -- and attending them). I didn't know what networking actually meant. Before CCA, my perception of being an artist involved a bitter life, hungry and alone in the studio. It doesn't have to be that way.
I learned that we have each other and we're all in the same boat. Whatever the relationship, be it artist and gallery, teacher and student, manager and renter, looking out for each others' needs helps us and the entire community.
I also learned about patience; that success doesn't happen immediately. That the artist's path is one of constant development and it can take a lifetime. It's a lifestyle, not just a career choice.
Artists never really retire, and I find comfort in that perception.
What advice do you have for potential students at CCA?
(JK) It's to be expected that there will be a competitive mentality in art school. And while competition can be a good thing, it can easily become unhealthy. Be sure to nurture and help out your peers in school. That's one way you can look forward to a future network of artists.
Why did the Oakland Art Murmur take off as it has?
(JK) The growth of the Murmur gives a platform to many more artists than it did six years ago. The Bay Area is saturated with creative energy and it needed a healthy outlet such as the Oakland Art Murmur to help foster it."
Anything you want to say to folks back at CCA?
(JK) I have to give thinks to the Ceramics studio manager, Craig Petey, who took me under his wing and taught me all about firing and repairing kilns. That kind of knowledge is greatly empowering. That's what led me to owning my own kiln repair business, which ultimately helps fund my studio practice.
* In the next installment of "CCA in the Scene," CCA alum and FM cofounder and director Peter St. Lawrence will provide his perspective on Oakland's changing reputation and the role Art Murmur is playing.

Looking to hook up with any folks planning on doing winter routes on any of the major Cascade peaks. Moved to Portland in April of 2008 and did some great spring and summer climbs (Hood, Shasta, glacier skiing on Rainier) but still looking for partners. I can climb 2 weekends per month, and am open to just about anything. I am in great shape, train rigorously for mountaineering, and won't be a burden. If anyone out there has ever moved to a new area and tried to meet climbing partners, you know it is not as easy as it seems. Help a brother out and let me tag along on a trip or let's partner together and bang out a good route or two. Thanks! Phone is 503-721-2426. Email is firstname.lastname@example.com.

in : Features: Wildlife
Nettles have a bad reputation among gardeners. Although they sting and are invasive if left unchecked, there are numerous ways they can be put to positive use in both your garden and kitchen. Learn more, below.
Nettles are a magnet for beneficial wildlife, they can be made into great plant food and are a surprisingly versatile ingredient in the kitchen.
The nettle we're used to in the UK is Urtica dioica, a perennial plant full of iron, calcium, magnesium and nitrogen, which makes it incredibly nutritious for both other plants and humans.
Follow our tips on putting nettles to good use - but be sure to wear gloves at all times when handling them.
For a basic soup you'll need about 200g of fresh nettle tips. Add 450g of potatoes, peeled and cubed, a dash of cream and one litre of stock. Boil the potatoes until soft and steam the nettles. Drain the spuds and add the nettles and stock. Bring the boil, whisk with a hand blender, add a dash of cream and season.
Nettles can be used in exactly the same way as spinach - almost any recipe containing spinach could contain nettles as an alternative. For a simple side dish, they're best steamed for around five minutes.
As well as being delicious, nettle tea is reputed to help combat several ailments, including eczema, asthma, hay fever and muscle aches. Just steep a few fresh tips in boiling water, removing them when the water goes slightly green, to avoid bitterness.
Nettles are key to the survival of butterflies, as they are the primary food source for many caterpillars including those of the comma, tortoiseshell and peacock. Without nettles caterpillars would go in search of alternative food sources - probably one of your favourite plants.
All you need to make nettle beer is nettles, sugar, water, yeast, an orange, a lemon and cream of tartar. There are plenty of nettle beer recipes online.
To make nitrogen-rich nettle feed, cut or crush the nettles into small pieces and cram into a large container. Weigh the nettles down with bricks, and submerge with water (store away from the house, to avoid the smell). Leave for three or four weeks then dilute for direct use (one part concentrate to 10 parts water).
Although aphids suck plants sap, stunting growth, they are also a vital source of food for many beneficial insects and birds. Aphids love nettles, which you can grow as 'sacrificial' plants, saving valuable ornamentals. (The aphids might stunt the nettle growth, too.)
Nettles are the number one destination for ladybirds with eggs to lay. These eggs turn into ladybird larvae, which predate on garden pests, including aphids, whitefly and red spider mite.
Nettles are actually quite fussy about the soil in which they will grow. They require a soil rich in phosphates and nitrogen to thrive. If you see a patch, grow plants alongside that thrive in similar conditions. Dig up nettles at the end of each season to prevent their fleshy roots spreading out of control.
Chopped nettles act as a natural activator and speed up the decomposition process in compost heaps. For the best results, make sure the nettles are thoroughly mixed with lots of different materials - dry, wet, soft and woody - otherwise they become slimy. Don't add nettle roots, unless your heap is very hot.

I like nettles and have found lots more uses for them and made a pamphlet about it at this fairly unpleasant link: https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B5J_maf0-xotNDhmYTllM2YtYjljMS00Zjc5LWFjMWUtMjJlY2FkZjg5NTdj&hl=en
24/11/2011 at 15:29
Only query I have on this excellent article is what do you mean by"the end of each season". I have asked already in 2 places at what stage it is best to cut the nettles down to avoid sacrificing butterflies and ladybirds.I let a big patch grow in my garden but the "gardener" I paid to tidy it up massacred them. I only have a few left and fear we have destroyed a lot of butterfly eggs. I really need to have a plan for keeping them in check.Froginhood

hi i have some nettles that grow under some conifers, an it says to grow some plants witch plants could you grow under conifers because some color would be good.

Making nettle soup with spuds, is quite superb as a health pick-me-up ! Two weeks of regular quaffing of this stuff makes one into a Nettle 'Souper Man'! I am a confirmed and certificated Hypochondriac, and after a fortnight, I cannot find a thing wrong ! Bloody stuff !
19/07/2012 at 21:50
I live by the railway which is full of nettles, they spill over into me garden but butterflies are so rare now. when I moved here in 1975 the place was buzzing with wild life, birds bees butterflies grasshoppers frogs toads newts grass snakes slow worms even adders in abundance, they are still here, not in the same numbers, I even used to have butterflies overwinter in my house but no more. the fact that the m25 was built through the middle of the village changed the water table and left a never ending scar on the landscape, depriving all these creatures of their natural habitat, sorry but you must blame the government for mindless distruction of our countryside.

Sharon Osbourne: I Had A Double Mastectomy
Sharon Osbourne reveals she had a double mastectomy in the new issue of Hello! magazine.
The former "America's Got Talent" judge tells the British mag that she made the decision to have surgery after discovering she has the BRCA gene.
Possessing the gene means a person has a substantially increased — but not guaranteed — chance of getting breast cancer.
In her Hello! interview, Osbourne, 60, opens up about deciding to "just take everything off," even though she does not currently have breast cancer.
"As soon as I found out I had the breast cancer gene, I thought, 'The odds are not in my favor,'" she tells the magazine.
Osbourne, who previously battled colon cancer, says that she "didn't want to live the rest of my life with that shadow hanging over me."
"It's not a 'pity me' [situation]," says "The Talk" co-host, adding, "It's a decision I made that's got rid of this weight I was carrying around."
The year has been full of mixed blessings for the Osbourne family, with the matriarch becoming a grandmother in April, and her son (and new father) Jack revealing he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis just a few weeks later.
The family happily gathered in Hawaii last month for Jack's wedding to Lisa Stelly.
Gossip Cop wishes Osbourne a speedy recovery.

I have never dipped my hands in MySQL Cluster and want to know how it can benefit me. When is it best to use it, and does it have performance benefits?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

MySQL Cluster is designed around 3 core principles:
These are discussed in more detail in the following paper (note, registration required): http://mysql.com/why-mysql/white-papers/mysql_wp_scaling_web_databases.php
Adaptive Query Localization is a feature of the current MySQL Cluster 7.2 development release and rapidly improves performance of JOIN operations by pushing them down to the data nodes, thereby significantly reducing network traffic - to address the point Rolando makes above. You can read more about it here: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-cluster-labs-dev-milestone-release.html
MySQL Cluster is licensed under the GPL and can be downloaded from dev.mysql.com, with on-line help via the forums: forums.mysql.com/list.php?25
When I wanted to get information about MySQL Cluster, MySQL (before Sun bought it) would send out a brief questionnaire, which I wish I still had. One of the questions asked if your tables had integer keys only.
Although MySQL Cluster is ACID-complaint, it does not provide a suitable storage engine for data with compound keys. In some respects, you have to plan its usage like that of a MongoDB or Cassandra in terms of data layout and sharding.
You also have to consider the most annoying part of MySQL Cluster: Network Communication. NDB Cluster tends to be chatty among servers. Even Gig-E can be brought to its knees if doing range queries or full table scans. You must be disciplined enough to use primary keys and unique keys, especially if your application thrives on such keys.
Unless you adhere to these simple observations, MySQL Cluster will do way more harm than good.

I tried to install 12.04, 13.04, and now 13.10 on the machine and followed all the instructions that made sense that I could find and still have not gotten wifi to work.
It keeps it hard blocked for some reason, not sure why and not sure anyone out there either has figured it out because I would have found it on Google.
When I boot from the formatted USB drive, I have WiFi and everything working, why doesn't work after the USB drive is removed?
What driver is the USB/wubi or whatever using so that I can install it and have things working? I could have used wubi and installed Ubuntu like that, but I want to make this machine a fully dedicated Ubuntu machine.
The laptop is a Lenovo S205 in case anyone can help. I really would like to use 12.04 or higher, i don't want to downgrade to an older version of Ubuntu if at all possible.

This week, people all over the world will celebrate the festive Irish holiday. St. Patrick's day. St. Patty's day is the national observance of the patron Saint Patrick. Festivities include parades, wearing green, and drinking copious amounts of beer.
For this year's St. Patty's jubilee, why not celebrate by creating a traditional Irish breakfast? The traditional breakfast features two eggs served atop soda bread, bacon – served soft, instead of the crunchy American type, sausage, sautéed mushrooms and tomatoes, fried potatoes, and black pudding. Most of these items are pretty standard breakfast items, not including the black pudding. According to Wikipedia, black pudding or "blood sausage" is a type of sausage made by cooking blood with filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. Black pudding is most commonly made using cow or pig blood.
While this is an Irish tradition, if it sounds somewhat unappetizing, don't worry. It's not a requirement. You can simply celebrate by visiting one of the local Irish Pubs in town, who will be opening early on Wednesday and serving up breakfast.
Fado Irish Pub, 1735 19th St – Opening at 8 a.m., featuring food, live music, and an Alice 105.9 live broadcast.
Nallens, 1495 Market St. – Opening at 8 a.m. and offering live music, food, and spirits.
The Irish Rover Pub, 54 South Broadway – Opening at 10 a.m., featuring traditional Irish entertainment.

Smooth host migration.
I'm currently playing a match where I'm the only one left and I can't even respawn. Before that everyone just started leaving until there were three people left and all were on the same team. Eventually the other two left since they got bored when no one would join the other team, and the last teammate to leave killed me with a Hammer before he left but the kill didn't count and now I can't respawn.
Re: Smooth host migration.
Re: Smooth host migration.
Yeah I had this bug a couple times as well. Some guy gets shot his body lays on the ground with his name tag still above his body (indicating that he's still alive probably caused by a connection loss.) Then people get kicked out of the game 1 by 1. You can't do anything about it and as soon the timer hits 00:00 nothing happens.
