vintage encyclopaedia anatomy illustrations, hand dyed Japanese paper, cardboard, wood
I've always liked the gruesome pages of my old encyclopaedias the best. Don't know why.
Here I am hoping it won't be bone breaking slippery outside. I'm picking up my mom from the train soon and I so look forward to spending some girl time with her today and I know we both prefer not to break any bones.

vintage photo slides, board, paper, selfmade paper
In this matchbox there are two old (very blue) slides of the same location on top of each other with a gap between them so that the scene changes and becomes oddly three dimensional when you change the angle you're viewing it from. This is one of those boxes that are beautiful but impossible to photograph well. I knew that from the start but couldn't stop and change my plan.

vintage watch parts, paper, hand dyed Japanese paper, vintage silk threads
So, yet again I put a bird on it. I can't help myself when I find those little birdy heads in my box of watch junk. V is on his way to Rome, a business trip, a biennale. I'm home, waiting for the sound of rain and the sound of snow melting to stop. I am sleeping all wrong again. Not my usual wrong, but even more wrong.

The question reads:
Suppose the lifetime of a component $T_i$ in hour is uniformly distributed on $[100, 200]$. Components are replaced as soon as one fails and assume that this process has been going on long enough to reach equilibrium. Suppose it is known that the current component has been in operation for exactly 90 hours. What is the probability that it will last at least 50 more hours?
Essentially, we are being asked to compute:
$$P(B_t \geq 50\ |\ A_t = 90),$$
where $B_t$ is the time remaining in the component's life and $A_t$ is the current age of the component. The computation can be rewritten as
$$P(B_t \geq 50\ |\ A_t = 90)=\frac{P(B_t \geq 50, A_t = 90)}{P(A_t = 90)}$$
by Bayes' Theorem. I know that $A_t$ and $B_t$ aren't independent, but I'm not seeing how to factor that into the computation. I know that both follow uniform distributions with mean $\mu=150$, but honestly I can't get much farther than that. I know how to calculate both $P(B_t \geq 50)$ and $P(A_t = 90)$, but I can't put the two together. Any help is greatly appreciated.

|Accepted Version
The DNA repair enzyme O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) antagonizes the genotoxic effects of alkylating agents. MGMT promoter methylation is the key mechanism of MGMT gene silencing and predicts a favorable outcome in patients with glioblastoma who are exposed to alkylating agent chemotherapy. This biomarker is on the verge of entering clinical decision-making and is currently used to stratify or even select glioblastoma patients for clinical trials. In other subtypes of glioma, such as anaplastic gliomas, the relevance of MGMT promoter methylation might extend beyond the prediction of chemosensitivity, and could reflect a distinct molecular profile. Here, we review the most commonly used assays for evaluation of MGMT status, outline the prerequisites for standardized tests, and evaluate reasons for difficulties in reproducibility. We critically discuss the prognostic and predictive value of MGMT silencing, reviewing trials in which patients with different types of glioma were treated with various chemotherapy schedules, either up-front or at recurrence. Standardization of MGMT testing requires comparison of different technologies across laboratories and prospectively validated cut-off values for prognostic or predictive effects. Moreover, future clinical trials will need to determine, for each subtype of glioma, the degree to which MGMT promoter methylation is predictive or prognostic, and whether testing should become routine clinical practice.

Best Options to Get Rid of this Infection
We just finished an treatment effectiveness study and were surprised to find that the most advertised and hyped treatments worked the least. As per the study results the following are the top 2 most popular and the best remedies currently available. Not only do these at home remedies for ringworm work effectively, they are also offered with full money back guarantees. Click on the name of the treatment remedy below to see detailed reviews with our findings and results.
You may like to learn on what criteria we ranked these treatments here?
About Ring worm and what this website offers:
While relatively common, ringworm is not a condition to be taken lightly. The symptoms can be highly contagious and spread easily. It is a disease that is most commonly associated with adults but even babies and children can get these infections.
In certain cases, if left untreated, victims of this infection can experience permanent scars, severe discomfort, and possibly get a more serious condition. If it keeps coming back, you may also feel constantly uncomfortable and insecure about how you look. Fortunately, there are a number of products that serve as an effective cure.
Our goal is to provide you with the latest information on the symptoms of ring worm as well as on treating ringworms, including shampoo for curing patches of ring worms, the latest over-the-counter medication, prescription medicine, and home remedy treatments as and when they are available.
Reviewing Every Treatment
Does your fungus infection keep coming back? Do you feel like you will never have the infection under control? We have reviewed and researched what works in the early stages of ring worms in humans as well as the advanced stages for ringworms in people.
To treat ring worm, there are about as many fungus cures as there are types of ringworm. You may find it somewhat daunting to figure out which cure is right for your particular condition. All you want to do is make it go away forever.
If you are looking for a good solution to your own ringworm problem or for someone you love, this is an excellent place to start. Take a look at our straight forward reviews of many of the popular treatments, including Phytozine and E-Book Remedy for ringworm.
What is Ringworm?
Ringworm is known by the medical term of tinea corporis. It is a common fungal infection that comes from microscopic organisms called dermatophytes. These organisms survive by consuming the dead outer layers of skin on humans and animals. The name comes from the fact that, originally, people believed that the infection came from a worm. Although it was later concluded that it did not, the name has stuck. However, the part of the name that does hold true is the fact that the ring worm rash forms an irregular circle on the skin, leaving normal-looking skin in the middle area, which gives the appearance of a ring. The infection makes it look like there is a worm curled up under the skin's surface.
Symptoms: What Ringworm Looks Like?
Ring worm looks exactly what its name applies. Ringworm looks like rings, or irregular circles, on the skin. Caused by a fungus, ringworm can affect many areas of your skin at once, including your scalp (tinea capitis), groin area (tinea cruris or also known as jock itch), or feet (tinea pedis or athlete's foot). The rash begins as a dry, raised round patch that appears red and feels itchy. The patch may get larger with time. The outer edge is scaly and red, but the inner area gets paler again, and looks to be healthy.Ringworm is usually visible 10-14 days after contact with an infected person, animal or object. While it tends to be easily diagnosed, ringworms symptoms look different from person to person. Ringworm can be easily recognized.
Appearance of Scalp Ringworm
general scalp ring worm symptoms include:
Scalp ring worm usually appears between 10-14 days after contact while skin ringworm takes anywhere from 4-10 days. The time between exposure and symptoms is not really known for the other types of ring worm.
Causes: How Does it Spread?
Ringworm is spread through direct and indirect contact with an infected person, animal, or object. Those most at risk include people in warm, humid climates; those who have direct contact with someone or something that has an obvious infection; or someone who may suffer from a weakened immune system due to diabetes, leukemia, or AIDS.
The fungi central to ringworm cause enjoys warm, moist areas where infection can thrive. This includes places where you tend to sweat, including the groin, feet and underarms. Ringworm tends to enter the body through a break in the skin, such as a scratch, cut, or broken skin due to eczema.
Ring worm cause gets spread through numerous forms of contact:
Some kinds of ring wrom causing fungi live on damp surfaces, like the floors in locker rooms or public showers. You can easily pick up a fungus from such places.
Doctors use what is known as a KOH (potassium hydroxide solution) preparation to determine whether ring worm is present. A sample of skin is taken by lightly scraping the infected area (with a blade or scalpel) where there is evident signs of scaling or flaking. Broken hairs from the scalp and beard may also be collected for analysis. The skin or hair sample is kept on a slide with potassium hydroxide and gently heated up. This solution slowly dissolves the skin cells but not the fungus cells, leaving them visible under the microscope.
Treat Ringworm and Avoid Certain Risk Factors
A risk factor is defined as something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition because of the decision to not treat an infection or health issue at the earliest stage possible.
Treat ring worm or you will have to combat a certain amount of
risks that far outweigh the original condition. You could be putting
yourself at risk for:
When it comes to starting treatment, the earlier the better is the best advice in order to avoid as many symptoms as possible and stop it from spreading to other areas of the body.
It is very important that you seek proper treatment. If left untreated, ringworm can spread to other areas of the body and cause other complications, including bacterial infections, dermatitis, or other skin disorders.
Treatment usually involves cream, shampoo, or oral medication. These solutions can be prescribed by a doctor or obtained as an over-the-counter product. With treatment, symptoms usually go away within four weeks.
Once diagnosis is complete, a doctor may recommend a prescription anti-fungal treatment. However, you may also want to consult your physician about a highly effective Phytozine which is available online and can be delivered in the privacy of your home. As a product that is made completely from natural substances, you will not experience any side effects and it will work in partnership with your body's immune system to kill the fungus and ensure that it does not return.
Please visit our product review page to learn more.
Side Effects:
the side effects from prescribed ringworm medication include gastrointestinal distress, rash, and abnormal liver function. Also, if you take other medications, such as antacid therapies for ulcer disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the ring worm medication may interfere with the absorption of these drugs. These may also alter the effectiveness of warfarin, an anticoagulant drug that decreases the clotting ability of your blood.
I know that many of my colleagues do not prescribe griseofulvin (Grisactin), an oral ringworm medication, as often because there are a number of new options available. Griseofulvin is effective for those who may be allergic to other antifungal medications or have such medical conditions as liver disease. However, it may take longer for the infection to go away. Common side effects include headaches, digestive tract distress, light sensitivity, rashes, and a decreased white blood cell count.
Although symptoms may decrease soon after starting prescription drug treatment, it may take several weeks for the ringworm to disappear. Prolonged treatment with a prescription ringworm medication can be inconvenient. That's why I again recommend Phytozine. This incredible medication for ring worm gives you results in as little as 24-28 hours and completely gets rid of the infection in approximately 10 days.
Prevention Steps
In humans ringworm is common and is quite contagious even before you see any signs of symptoms. However, there are a number of steps you can take to reduce your risk of infection. These preventative measures include:
If you know that you are infected, here are some steps you can take to avoid spreading it further on you or to others:

We were pleased to receive a wonderful report from the Kainantu District. They have just held their Sectional Conference, and since many areas are remote, it was their first opportunity to bring local church reports to the General Secretary.
Not only was the Sectional Conference a blessing, but God has been moving at the local church level also, with many churches reporting healings. This includes a woman who was dead for 3 days; but through the prayers of the saints, she was raised to life again! Many have started attending the church because of this miracle.
Also, a whole church and congregation has joined the United Pentecostal Church, and will be having an official declaration and dedication on July 5th, 2005.
Bro Sinakadi, the General Secretary, writes:
This is a brief report regarding the Kainantu District in the Eastern Highlands of PNG. It is amazing to see what the LORD is doing for this particular area after some years of silence. The report was obtained by Brother D. Matam (Presbyter) on his recent visit to Kainantu with Brother G. Sopa on 1st May 2005 during the Section 6 Conference.

Italian Grand Prix
Italy's Grand Prix is one of the world's oldest motor racing events, having begun at Brescia in 1921. In 1922 the mainly flat Autodromo Nazionale Monza was built in northern Italy and most races have been held there.
It is set in a royal park on the outskirts of Milan, and remains one of the world's most famous tracks. It is distinguished by the fact that drivers are on full throttle for over 70 per cent of the lap thanks to the long straights, with cars able to reach speeds of over 372 km/h (231 mph).
Most of the original layout of the track survives, though it did suffer extensive damage from bombing in World War II. The impressive bankings had to be extensively restored before the track could be used again in 1948.
The Italian Grand Prix was one of the inaugural F1 championship races in 1950 and it has been held every year since then - only the British Grand Prix has been run with the same frequency.

VoIP Reviews: Consumer Reports
Our VoIP reviews of services provides users the ability to communicate and talk at cheap rates using their internet connection as the means of communication as compared to PSTN telephone systems in which cables were traditionally used. VoIP reviews from professional writers and critics provide the varieties of features which attract users, along with certain drawbacks that have been discovered in Voice Over IP system of communication. VoIP service transmits voice traffic over to an Internet protocol and uses the inexpensive transmission source which users have available at low subscription charges. In layman's terms, it means you will receive and make telephone calls over the Internet.
The Internet has proved to be the world's greatest source of communication among users no matter how far apart. Every online service which is utilizing the internet as means of transmission will certainly function with the best quality and cheapest price. According to VoIP reviews, it's similar to taking a local phone call with a telephone handset device except software (or a hardware telephone device) will need an Internet service provider to keep you in touch with both VoIP users and landline telephones or mobile users.
VoIP Reviews Comparison of VoIP and PSTN Phones Features
Those people who have been using PSTN handsets will have a steep learning curve from this new connectivity system. VoIP reviews reveal many new features and benefits, which are described, and customers will welcome these reviews. As time goes on, it becomes harder to pay the monthly charges and additional fees for using a traditional telephone service. You would feel very happy to learn in our VoIP reviews article about different VoIP services that require very little computer knowledge and have no high subscription monthly charges.
When looking for a service, you will need to study the complete reviews, users' suggestions, and comments. Then make your own decision on what is best suited for your needs. You will never need a service that charges high prices for low quality. VoIP reviews will reveal many features you can utilize once you search for the best VoIP service provider. Many features are similar from one VoIP device to other. Some VoIP providers offer the latest features which are considered either additional or preferred by users.
VoIP Reviews: Voice Over IP Services
Service plans and fees are the first features you will compare among the available VoIP providers. You will need a plan which allows you to call wherever you want and doesn't restrict your budget or add premium charges. Plans which offer additional features are often more welcomed by users. You may also need to analyze the ease of installation and setup. Our VoIP reviews will tell you the selection of such VoIP providers which will help you setup and install the VoIP device without any more complexity. With VoIP telephone communication, you will get high sound quality and affordable international calling rates.
Feel free to browse our website for more useful information about VoIP technology, and many VoIP reviews of available service providers. We will help to find best VoIP phone and voice over IP provider based on our VoIP reviews and articles.

Almost daily for nearly four (4) years, The Washington Post attacked District Mayor Vincent C. Gray, labeling him by semantic exposition not only a criminal, but also a racist.
Almost daily for nearly four (4) years, other news outlets, columnists, and talk show hosts carried The Washington Post's muddy waters across the District and around the country.
The herald brick wall separating the editorial board from the newsroom became imaginary and respected journalists marched to orders to tear a good man down because he defeated their emperor former District Mayor Adrian M. Fenty.
Having collaborated with the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Mr. Ronald C. Machen, Ms. Jo-Ann Armao, District editorial writer for The Washington Post in a pre-primary election sniper shooting against Mayor Gray, Mr. Machen and Ms. Armao now demand rhetorical political gun control and a new testament of political reconciliation.
It is clear Ms. Armao shared notes with her reporter colleagues to assure the anti-Mayor Gray story line and editorial view were scrupulous aligned by paragraph, comma and period.
There should not be any confusion. This was not a newspaper's quest for justice. This was The Washington Post assaulting democracy and intruding in the people's right to choose for its own corporate interests.
This was seized as an editorial board opportunity for a mayoral retrofitting.
The Washington Post and Ms. Armao need to come clean and be honest.
The mission of The Washington Post and Mr. Machen was to lay Mayor Gray bare, stretch him wide, and leave him bloodied and stripped of dignity. Sharing wine sips not from a cherished silver chalice, but rather a plain dirty cup Ms. Armao and Mr. Machen should not consider themselves to be biblical apostles.
The path Ms. Armao and Mr. Machen follow here seem more closely tied to a leader of Russia, rather than to a man of Galilee.
In their zeal to "get" Mayor Gray and swiftness to offer Mr. Jeffery Thompson a "sweetheart plea deal," it was the District's Democratic primary election calendar Ms. Armao and Mr. Machen were looking at, rather than reading from the book of justice.
Everyday for nearly four (4) years Ms. Armao and Mr. Machen demanded answers from Mayor Gray. Yet, now it is Ms. Armao and Mr. Machen who are dodging questions from the people. It is now Mr. Machen who may face his own ethical violations investigation by the D.C. Bar.
Having secured their desired outcome through character assassinations, Mayor Gray remains a man not charged or indicted by the Department of Justice. Why would Ms. Armao and Mr. Machen worry about due process and the Constitution when public shaming will do?
The rights and privileges of the United States Constitution are not reserved for the few or the favored, but rather for all Americans.
Sadly, this concept is something Ms. Armao has ignored and Mr. Machen has forgotten.
Defenders of freedom cannot be pretenders to the word or in the fight for justice or bamboozled by a newspaper masquerading as a protector of ethics and a peaceful social community.

Iowa manufacturers are the driving force behind the states labor market. Fueled by heavy expansion in durable goods production, during the past decade, the number of Iowa manufacturing jobs grew by 3.4 percent and accounted for nearly three-fourths of the state's employment increase. Today, more than 200,000 Iowans are employed by the 4,000 manufacturers throughout the state.
The manufacturing industry employs one in seven Iowa workers. The percentage of total workforce in manufacturing is 34 percent higher in Iowa (14 percent) than the country as a whole (8.9 percent).
With an emphasis on advanced manufacturing, Iowa manufacturers employ 17 percent of the state's total workforce – 36 percent higher than the 11 percent nation's average - and they are productive generating 17.1 percent of the state GDP – 27 percent greater overall production of U.S. factory workers.
Iowa is a right-to-work state with payroll costs are 22.6 percent below the national average. The average wage for manufacturing workers in Iowa is $49,770 - 85.1 percent of the U.S. manufacturing sector average.

It was like a dream come true. Having never played in a collegiate game, redshirt freshman Shelton Sampson heard his name called with 5:26 to go in the third quarter last Saturday, the Huskies leading Indiana by a slim 17-13 margin. Did Sampson crack under the pressure? Of course not. Instead, he cracked a hole in the left side of the Hoosiers' defense and sprinted through it for a six-yard TD. Not four minutes later, the Tacoma, Wash., native finished off his second collegiate drive with another score, taking an option pitch four yards around the right end for his second TD of the day. GoHuskies.com correspondent Jordan Roy-Byrne talked to Sampson on Monday about his big game, and what it means for the future.
GH: You scored two touchdowns in your first four carries! Is this streak going to continue?
Shelton Sampson: (Laughs) "It came as a surprise, scoring so soon, but I just want to do whatever is best for the team. If that's scoring (laughs), I'll go with it!"
GH: After two games, you have as many touchdowns (2) as Reggie Williams. What are your thoughts on that?
Sampson: "It's a great experience to be able to go out there and play. I loved getting out there and getting some experience under my belt. I'd feel the same way if I didn't score. I just enjoy being able to run the ball and play."
GH: You have gained 20 pounds of muscle while training hard with strength coaches Pete Kaligis and Steve Emtman. Talk about their impact on not just yourself, but the entire team.
Sampson: "I ate right and worked very hard. We spend as much time with them as we do with the coaches. They push us real hard and they've been through what we are going through, so they know what's best for us."
GH: You missed some time in camp due to migraine headaches. How are you dealing with that?
Sampson: "We were trying to figure out something that would work. A few weeks ago I started taking a new medicine at night. At first it didn't work, but the last two weeks I haven't had any headaches."
GH: So they are not that much of a problem anymore?
Sampson: "Yeah, I think not. I think we have them cured."
GH: That's good to hear. I recently talked to ET (Charles Frederick) and he said you were the best rapper on the team.
Sampson: (Laughs) "We always play around and we don't take it too seriously. Every now and then I try to freestyle. We have a lot of fun with it."
GH: How's Kenny James as a rapper? As classmates and tailbacks, are you guys close?
Sampson: "Me and Kenny are real cool. We consider each other brothers. We live together, so we spend a lot of time with each other. He's a real cool dude. He knows, along with me, that this is just the start of our careers, so it's been a great beginning for both of us."
GH: I read in your bio that you were a member of the National Honor Society. How do you balance school and sports?
Sampson: "Grades! (laughs). I take grades pretty seriously. I knew it was something that had to happen, as far as academics. I was also ASB President. I was always involved in school. I just tried to make a difference."
GH: That's quite a list of extra-curricular activities. So, now in college, do you consider yourself an intellectual scholar?
Sampson: "In college you have to be an intellectual scholar. Everyone speaks the college-slang, so you have to be up on your game (laughs). I think I'm still doing the same amount of work."
GH: Did you know our mascot, Harry the Husky, has been named an All-American? Your thoughts on Harry's chances to be Mascot of the Year.
Sampson: "Hey, Harry. If you are out there - go get 'em! (Laughs)"

Why I had to say no when Albert Speer asked me to dinner
It took a few minutes to decipher the writing, but Roman Halter knew what it was as soon as he saw it.
It had lain buried among papers for nearly 30 years and had been forgotten. But the two-page, handwritten letter that Mr Halter found last month evoked memories of a time when he survived the Holocaust while dozens of family and friends were murdered.
The letter - and a second one - that Mr Halter had found were written by Albert Speer, the Nazis' chief architect and, from 1943, the man responsible for armaments in Hitler's Germany.
Speer, arguably the Führer's most trusted lieutenant, avoided the death penalty at Nuremberg, but served 20 years in Spandau prison.
He died in 1981 - weeks after an exchange of correspondence that has now come back to haunt Mr Halter.
The letters came to light because, as Mr Halter put it: "I am 81 and I didn't want to leave things so my children would cry over them. I didn't want them having to clear up my mess.
"I had completely forgotten about the letters, it was so long ago. My daughter Aloma, who is a writer, wants them and if she doesn't take them, I will give them to the Imperial War Museum."
The story behind the correspondence goes back to 1944 and the liquidation of the Lodz ghetto in Poland.
"I was selected with a group of 499 metal-workers, men, women and youth, for slave labour in Germany," Mr Halter recalled this week. He had trained as a metal-worker, a skill that saved him.
They were sent in cattle-trucks to Auschwitz along with 2,300 people who had tried to hide in the ghetto. When they arrived, the 2,300 were taken to the gas chambers, while his group was taken to Stutthof in Dresden, to work in a munitions factory. This is was what prompted Mr Halter to write to Speer. He said: "I asked him whether it was on his instructions that we were sent to Dresden and separated from the group that went to Auschwitz. I was recording my Shoah past, and I wanted to know."
At first, Speer's secretary replied, but the answer was vague. "So I wrote again, and said perhaps it would be simpler for me to come with two friends. If he said 'yes', I wanted friends to witness what we would say."
Mr Halter received a handwritten reply in English, dated "16.XI.80", inviting him and his friends to dinner at the Speer residence in Heidelberg.
"Thank you so much for your letter!," it began. "I was in the mountains to try to finish my manuscript in quickness [sic]! Coming back I found your letter. Now it is too late for your proposal until in Heidelberg. And I am still under pressure until the midst of December. How is it with the 15th of December at 19.30. It would be an honour for us, if you would accept an invitation of dinner.
"Looking forward to this evening. With best wishes. Albert Speer"
Mr Halter gave the invitation very careful thought. "But in the end, I knew I could not accept it," he said.
Eleven days later, he sent a two-page reply, explaining why he turned Speer down: "Although my curiosity and even the strange fascination of meeting you and asking you some historical questions... was only part-reason for seeing you, I feel now that would betray and dishonour the memory of my family, my friends and my people who were murdered in various brutal ways, should I break bread with you."
He pointed out that, out of a population of more than 800 Jews in the village of Chodecz, where he lived, only four survived: himself and three girls.
In the second letter, Mr Halter quoted his grandfather, who perished in the Lodz ghetto: "When you survive, speak all you have witnessed. Speak it the best way you can. Do not philosophise about it, for murder is murder and we are being murdered today on the orders of evil leaders."
He asked Speer why they were not killed in Auschwitz: "I will not deny it, that it is good to be alive. But one has this thought at the back of one's mind now, 'Did Herr Speer [save us] from Auschwitz because he wanted to save some Jews, or did he do it because we were skilled metal- and munition-workers? Was this done because of his humanity and compassion for us, or was the tonnage of the munition quota that was really the prime mover behind this action?"
Speer responded on January 27, 1981, "with much regret and sadness", saying: "I fully understand and accept your decision to decline my invitation."
The German remarked on the difference in tone between Mr Halter's two letters and intimated that it was only the "cordiality" of the first letter that had elicited the invitation.
"It may mean little in the face of your suffering that I have accepted full responsibility for the crimes committed against your people under Hitler," wrote Speer. He said he had tried through his writings and lectures to warn against any repetition but gave no answer to Halter's question.

I met Amy almost two years ago when I joined in on her weekly round-up Slightly Indulgent Tuesdays. Amy is an incredible person who shares her cooking experiences, her life and inspirations, and her gluten-free and sugar-free recipes on her blog.
Amy has this way of making gorgeous and seemingly complex food, approachable for the at-home cook. And her cookbook doesn't disappoint!
Simply Sugar and Gluten-Free: 180 Easy and Delicious Recipes You Can Make in 20 Minutes or Less contains everything from every day recipes like simple salads to delicious desserts like Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Cake.
Of course everything in the cookbook is gluten-free and refined sugar-free. Yep, even refined sugar-free frosting recipes. My favorite!
We eat gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free at our house, but this didn't stop me from enjoying many of the recipes in Amy's cookbook. Many of the recipes in her cookbook are naturally vegetarian or vegan.
One of our favorite dishes to eat around here is black bean burritos. Amy's version is a Black Bean Tostada dish that we instantly loved. Her recipe includes easy roasted vegetables that are a delicious addition to the tostada.
The kids love Amy's recipe for Light and Fluffy Fruit Pancakes. Although the recipe calls for eggs and cow's milk, I was easily able to replace the eggs with ground chia and the cow's milk with homemade almond milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar. What I love about this recipe is the amount of pancakes it makes. I like making big batches on the weekend so I can freeze some for through the week.
The recipe we use on a weekly basis is Amy's recipe for Socca Pizza (check out the recipe below). I had never made socca pizza before and oh my, was I pleasantly surprised. Amy's recipe is simple, easy to prepare, and works every time! We top ours with dairy-free pesto and homemade bruschetta. So good!
Socca Pizza
(Recipe courtesy of Amy Green)
1 cup garbanzo bean flour (chickpea flour)
1 ½ cups cold water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
To make the batter, combine the garbanzo bean flour, water, olive oil, and salt in a blender and blend on medium speed for 20 to 30 seconds until thoroughly combined and smooth. Put the batter into the refrigerator until ready to use.
Rub a 12-inch cast iron skillet with a thin layer or oil. Place the pan in the oven and preheat oven to 475f.
When the oven is preheated, carefully add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter (we use olive oil) to the cast iron pan while it's still in the oven. Once the butter has melted, carefully remove the cast iron skillet from the oven. Pour the batter into the pan. It should sizzle.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the top of the socca has started to lightly brown in places.
Spread the desired amount of sauce on the baked pizza crust. Top with cheese and other toppings. Return the pizza to the 475f oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese has melted and toppings are cooked through.
If you're using pesto or bruschetta, remove the skillet from the oven and carefully flip the socca. Return to oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and spread with pesto and bruschetta.
Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before serving and slicing.
Yield: 1 (12-inch) pizza

"It's like a wet sponge," explains Jeff Snyder, a faculty associate in applied physics and materials science in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and a member of the research team. "If you have a sponge with very fine pores in it, it looks and acts like a solid. But inside, the water molecules are diffusing just as fast as they would if they were a regular liquid. That's how I imagine this material works. It has a solid framework of selenium atoms, but the copper atoms are diffusing around as fast as they would in a liquid."
The research, led by scientists from the Chinese Academy of Science's Shanghai Institute of Ceramics in collaboration with researchers from Brookhaven National Laboratory and the University of Michigan, as well as from Caltech.
The copper-selenium material has a thermoelectric figure of merit of 1.5 at 1000 degrees Kelvin, one of the highest values in any bulk material.

Nature Materials - Copper ion liquid-like thermoelectrics
Advanced thermoelectric technology offers a potential for converting waste industrial heat into useful electricity, and an emission-free method for solid state cooling. Worldwide efforts to find materials with thermoelectric figure of merit, zT values significantly above unity, are frequently focused on crystalline semiconductors with low thermal conductivity. Here we report on Cu2−xSe, which reaches a zT of 1.5 at 1,000 K, among the highest values for any bulk materials. Whereas the Se atoms in Cu2−xSe form a rigid face-centred cubic lattice, providing a crystalline pathway for semiconducting electrons (or more precisely holes), the copper ions are highly disordered around the Se sublattice and are superionic with liquid-like mobility. This extraordinary 'liquid-like' behaviour of copper ions around a crystalline sublattice of Se in Cu2−xSe results in an intrinsically very low lattice thermal conductivity which enables high zT in this otherwise simple semiconductor. This unusual combination of properties leads to an ideal thermoelectric material. The results indicate a new strategy and direction for high-efficiency thermoelectric materials by exploring systems where there exists a crystalline sublattice for electronic conduction surrounded by liquid-like ions.

More: Do you think the country has a different view of a woman running for president now than four years ago or 20 years ago?
Michele Bachmann: I have not seen gender as a barrier to being in the race. That's I think very positive. I don't see any barrier from people on that score and I think that it seems very normalized for people to see a woman who is running. When I grew up I didn't feel barriers as a girl. Growing up in a home with a lot of brothers, our parents just expected that all of us could do whatever we wanted and that was a blessing so I never saw myself as having barriers.
I have to say that it hasn't made any difference whether it's been South Carolina or Iowa or New Hampshire or Texas or Florida or California or Utah or Nevada, it doesn't matter which state I've been in, I have never detected a barrier. In fact, if anything I've been hearing more, especially in the last few weeks, a lot of women come up to me with their daughters or they've got their mother with them, and they just, their eyes are dancing, their eyes are dancing, and they're happy and they're joyful and they say I want you to meet my daughter.
This just happened. We were in West Des Moines. We were at a deli and a mother said, 'I want you to meet my daughter and thank you for being such a good role model for my daughter.' I'm hearing that more and more from women, mothers for their daughters but then also grandmothers too that are saying that. That makes me feel very good when I hear that.
[Talking about my biography with an associate recently] I just paused and I said you know, I think now being 55 years of age at this point just reflecting and looking backwards, I look at my resume and I look at the things I've accomplished, but I mean quite honestly there's just that word, 'Mother,' I just saw it on the paper, and I thought, That's the one that means the most to me. … It's that word that means a lot to me. Obviously wife and all the rest but it's that word mother. There's something I think that I've come to value even more recently because we are looking at our youngest child going off to college this fall.
More: Is that Sofia?
MB: Yeah.
We've been parenting for 29 years and this will be the first time now that all of them will be gone. We had all the foster children as well. It will be very different. It's just kind of a pause, a time for reflection.
I'm extremely grateful because one thing my husband and I had decided when we first got married even before we had the children. We always wanted to make sure that one of us were there.
It wasn't always easy, both of us by god's grace we were self-made people, we worked our way through college. We came from lower middle class backgrounds and we held various jobs through college but we made a decision … that one of us would always be there, and we've tag teamed, sometimes I'm gone, sometimes he's gone. Sometimes there was a period time when he was the full time parent when he was graduate school full time, and I was a federal tax attorney and I was out working in the business world and we've flipped, we've gone back and forth.
But our central core is that we've been committed to those kids to make sure that all the way through high school there's always someone there, we want to make sure that someone is paying attention to them. Not that we were entertaining them. But one thing we found, is that it seemed to us over the years, that children needed us more the older they got rather than being younger. When they are babies you can't imagine they could need you any more than that, but they really need your mind when they're older and they need to know that you really are paying attention to them, to what they're doing.
I am grateful and I have to give a lot of credit to my husband, because he is equally been as committed. If he hadn't been as committed I wouldn't have been as free to be able to come to Washington and do the things that I'm doing.
More: How do you talk about being a woman on the trail? You often [talk about the fact] you were the first female member of Congress from Minnesota. You're out there, you're talking about being a mom in a very feminine way. How important is it to you to run as a woman? Or are you a candidate that just happens to be a woman?
MB: I think when it comes to gender, to me the most important thing that voters will have to determine is who can best turn the economy around, who can best deal with private job creation, and who will take on this issue of the repeal of Obamacare and give us health care that will actually reduce costs for Americans? I think I have a very unique skill set.
I started out as lower middle class and then I went to below poverty when our parents divorced, and my mom left the home and worked and did the best she could, she made $4,800 a year. And my brothers and I had to get jobs to help out with the family. It's a challenge that was brilliantly disguised as a life lesson on the value of a dollar and also of making do and how necessity is the mother of invention.
We learned growing up then what it requires and what it takes to be able to survive. It was a great life lesson. All of us had to work our way through college. … Thus we were very careful with our money, and it was very important to us to be prudent.
That background as a woman, observing my family and my mother go through, you know a full time homemaker and also now being part of the work world and struggling, we've lived that life.
My mother told us that it wouldn't always be this way. Things would get better. And they did. … Building that better life, that my husband and I wanted to build for our family. I've lived it all. People say, you know, how did you do it? And I'll say, 'You can have it all, but not all at once.'
… (about starting a business from scratch and paying for her own education) …
We've got that experience of real life, real experiences of real people. That's why when people speak with me it's very authentic, and it's reality cause I've lived so much of what people are talking about.
And then again I think our experience at not only of having our biological children but bringing our 23 foster children in. We have lived and have shared in the challenges of very difficult times that a lot of families go through. A lot of families deal with messy, inconvenient situations. Because that's life. Life doesn't turn out and it's not perfect. My life hasn't been perfect but it's what are we going to make out of it.
That's why my heart really softens when I think about mothering because the greatest lessons that I've learned in life have been as a mother, pouring into those children but then also watching these children from various backgrounds and various competencies, you might say, and I mean that in a positive way because we all have different competencies. Some of us are intellectually gifted, some of us athletically gifted, some of us are great listeners. Everyone has a different level of what they can do.
One thing that all of our children, biological and foster children, have taught us is the unbelievable diversity of talent and giftedness that all people have, and they really spoke to both my husband and I to look into the heart of each child and that child might be suffering and eventually they'll be an adult, but help them get to that next plane because they have something to offer, and they do. One thing that happens often times in family life is that people think maybe the challenge you are having with a child when they are a teenager or even in adolescence that this is going to go on forever and it doesn't. They get to their 20s, they change dramatically in their 20s. So sometimes it's just holding on for the ride, and just being there and holding on for the ride.
Our experiences later, we started a charter school for at-risk kids because we had broken hearts for kids in those situations. That was an excellent experience and having our foster children got me involved in the education system. We had home-schooled our biological children, we put them in a private Christian school but the state prevented us from doing that with our foster children, and so they were in public school and I saw some of the challenges and the lack that they had in public school so then I got involved in education reform.
I put five years of my life into education reform and people said 'Well, Michele why are you doing that your biological children are in private school,' and I said it doesn't matter, I went to public school, so did my husband, and if anyone needs a leg up it's our foster children. And I want to make sure they have every opportunity and the state says this is their only option so let's make it the best option that we can.
And I was able to see you really can fight city hall. One of the largest programs that Minnesota had put into place in 35 years we were actually able to repeal. And that's why I have confidence that we can actually repeal Obamacare, it's very unpopular and people all across the country want it to go and I know that I can bring people together and make that happen.
That led me into the political world I had a unique experience in Minnesota with great success and then also in Washington DC it's been more of the same, I hit the ground running the first day I got in to Washington and I never quit running, because there were so many challenges, it was a bigger arena here.
All of those life experiences and those skill sets and dealing with elderly parents and parents that are dealing with issues, all of that is pored into me and contributed a broken heart for people's situations and an empathy and a sympathy that I understand what a lot of women are going through. Whether it's as a woman who has been disappointed in life with maybe her marriage or her children, I've been a part of that and trying to be a help to other people's lives, or unwed moms, my husband and I reached out to unwed mothers and tried to counsel them and give them positive alternatives.
But also in the business world I've had wonderful success. I have a doctorate and a post doctorate degree. I've had wonderful success in the business world both in the tax court and also with running our own business and providing an income to many families in our own state because of our business. And then being able to see the application of that in government, both in state government and federal.
It's a very unique skill set, and that's what I'm bringing and offering, the fact that I've lived a lot of these life challenges. And It's that voice that I want to bring, because the president really isn't about being manager in chief. It's very different being president. The president brings leadership and decision-making authority and the president does choose individuals to serve in certain job positions, but they also set the tone and they set the leadership and that's what we need.
I'm a very good decision maker because I have core set of principles and so I can make decisions. Decisions can be very hard and you have to wrestle with them, but I'm able to be able to get all the data on the table and figure out what would be the best decision because decisions mean ill for some people and mean positives for others.
More: To get there you do have to get through this campaign. You talk about understanding other women and I'm sure you've seen the way female candidates have been treated over the past. Are you prepared for anything? Are you bracing for the inevitable discussions about hair, clothing, makeup that men don't get as candidates?
MB: Yes, we've already gone through some of that. And this is part of the gauntlet that I fully expected would occur.
But I think again I do want to credit my parents. Because I think they set such a wonderful example, both my mother and my father, never once did they say to me, 'Why would you do that you're a girl?' I mean that never happened.
I mowed the lawn took out the garbage. Most of the time I washed the dishes, most of the time I dried them and put them away. For the most part traditional roles were observed, but sometimes it didn't happen, because someone had to do the work and I would do the work and my brothers would do likewise. My parents I really do credit because they set a wonderful example for me.
My father, when I was little, I went fishing with him, hunting. When I was 12 he took me through gun safety class. We loaded our own shotgun shells down in the basement, we tied our own fishing lures. I was included in everything I wasn't not included because I was a girl. I was very grateful for that. I learned a tremendous love for fishing and for the outdoors and I have my dad to thank for that.
More: I notice you highlight it sometimes. Your joke about being nervous that debate moderators would ask you boxers or briefs. It's these little subtle things. People are thinking it and you're able to highlight it without being a negative. How much are you thinking about that and what are you prepared for? You know Vin Webber's comment about you having sex appeal. … How do you deal with that when that comes up?
MB: I am 55 years old and I have given birth to five children and my husband and I together have fostered 23 more. So I am the old woman in the shoe, and so if someone wants to compliment me on my appearance at 55 years of age after all of living life I welcome that. So I'm not offended if someone says something like that.
More: What about wearing a dress? I've watched you on Capitol Hill for many years, you wear feminine clothing. Hillary Clinton was known for her very colorful pantsuits. How much of that is a part of you and important to maintain that? Has that been part of the campaign discussion —of what's the best thing for you to wear?
MB: No, no. It's personal. I think it's personal to me.
When I was growing up I wore pants all the time because it was all boys and me. I wore pants and little red Keds tennis shoes when I was growing up. We were very simple people and didn't have a lot of money. So sometimes I would be wearing hand me downs that were boys clothes and I didn't think twice about it. But of course as I got older then I wore girls clothes.
I had two wonderful grandmothers, magnificent influences in my life. I just adored my grandmothers. Both of them sewed, my mother sewed. I sew also, I don't do it anymore as much. They made clothes for me.
My two grandmothers not very often but if I was going to have a dress they would make a dress for me, and I loved it.
Sometimes they would take me to the fabric store and I could choose the fabric and then I could choose the pattern and it was a big deal. They would sew a dress for me for Easter and I would get a new dress for Easter. And then usually I would get a dress for school and they would make a dress for me for school.
At least through junior high we had to wear dresses every day in school when I was growing up. Elementary school all the way through junior high. I think that changed when I was in high school, I graduated in 1974 and I think by that time then girls could wear slacks. But I was used to wearing dresses.
Of course I wore slacks and dresses in high school. In college it was very different, it was casual. But in law school we were expected to dress up … I just felt more comfortable in dresses. And so as a professional I almost always wore dressed because they were more comfortable to me. Sometimes I would wear slacks, but it just depends on the occasion. If it's Minnesota and it's 55 below zero in all likelihood I'm wearing slacks but if it's a beautiful day I wear a dress.
My mother also was a good role model. She didn't have a lot of clothes. My mother was very petite and beautiful and my mother wore clothes very well. And she set a wonderful example for me.
And she was a lady. My mother is the one who taught me to be a lady by her actions. I observed the way that she dressed and the way that she carried herself. And both my grandmothers, they were women of very modest means. But they were also ladies.
They took care of themselves. I don't recall that they wore makeup, but they always did their hair. My one grandmother always had a French roll, the other one usually put her hair up. You'd never see them that they weren't ready for the day.
I remember one of my grandmothers wore Shelton Stroller dresses, that was her favorite.
I never saw my grandmothers in anything other than dresses. One time I had a grandmother that went to Alaska and she bought her first pair of pants. But they always wore dresses … They just set the example, and they carried themselves as ladies and so they set a wonderful example for me.
More: Does it ever bother you that people compare you to Sarah Palin? Because you are both conservative Republican women, but the similarities really end there. You have some similar constituencies, she's a politician, but she was a governor, you have very different styles. You're different people. I know you know each other but you're not friends in the same sense of you being friends with Steve King, for example. Does that bother you that people just compare you because you're both women?
MB: Probably because of the dearth of women that have run for high office, whether it's the vice presidency or the presidency, there are very few. I believe perhaps Elizabeth Dole at one point did, and then you have Geraldine Ferraro, and Mrs. Clinton and also Governor Palin.
That's not a wide bench of women who have put their name in to run for higher office. So I think it is inevitable that the comparisons come forward, but again when I came into the race I came in with my own unique skill set, my own offerings and I stand on that and I'm very proud of my background and what I offer.
More: One thing I find interesting from the last piece that I did on conservative women. I interviewed Christine O'Donnell. And she was — of everybody I talked to, you were very positive about all the female leaders and you talked about how the Tea Party groups are mostly led by women — but she said absolutely not, our country is not ready. She actually used the words bitch and whore in this interview with me, it was so surprising but she said that's how women will be treated period, it doesn't matter where they are running. It sounds like you're more optimistic than that?
MB: It seems to me very similar to the way I grew up. I don't sense that there is a difference because of gender. I feel like I'm a professional. I've been a professional for a number of years. I'm a businesswoman and a tax lawyer and a professional and so that's how I treat other people.
I think it's part of the golden rule. It's important for us to be kind to other people and treat other people the way that we want to be treated. That's how I was raised and I'll be polite. Now if people are rude, that may be the end of the conversation, and maybe we won't have a subsequent conversation. But I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt and believing the best about the person. But I'm not a fool and I won't be taken for a ride. I will stand up for my self but at the same time I don't presume the worst and I don't see people coming at me with negativity. Until they do.
More: Do you think any of the male candidates learned anything? You've engaged with them. Today [in your speech] you talked mostly about President Obama more than your primary rivals who are the first people you have to defeat to get to him. Do you feel like they have learned anything from 2008? I mean we saw so many examples of Hillary Clinton saying, 'Oh the boys are ganging up on me,' or Sarah Palin saying that something was sexist and the way she would react. How do you view the primary candidates and how they have treated you?
MB: The New Hampshire debate … was my initial foray. That was the only time that we've all been together. Prior to that [we met in New Hampshire for a forum] but that wasn't even really an interaction. I greeted Governor Romney, I don't even know if I had a chance to even talk to the other candidates because the room was filled with New Hampshire-ites.
It may seem like we interact more than that but we don't because we're trying to be with voters and getting our message out. ... I doubt that there will be a lot of interaction even in Iowa. Most likely we'll talk to each other before we go on stage, maybe on the breaks, shake hands afterwards. It's onward and upward.
More: And is it a handshake? Are they giving you a kiss on the cheek?
MB: You know I would have to look at the tape, I don't even recall what it was. I'm an affectionate person I'm a person who hugs, hugs people and I shake hands. I don't know I'd have to see the tape.
More: I had the chance to observe you in Iowa a couple weekends ago, the weekend you went to two fairs and you spoke in church and we were in Pella…
MB: Oh in Pella! Were you there for the bakery? Oh! I told my husband and the children. That bakery is probably the best bakery I've ever been in. (Laughter)
More: You went into that little shop next door and you bought that pink jacket. Have you worn that yet?
MB: It is still on the bus. Part of the reason is because the sleeves are longer, and the heat as you know has been excessive. I can't wait to wear it. I actually thought if it rained that would be a good day to wear it. So I've got it. It's adorable. It's got double-breasted buttons and kind of a floppy collar. It caught my eye and I thought it was just great. … It was a small, but I think I actually need a petite small. …
More: What do you think your legacy will be? Obviously there are two paths — you are either president of the United States in 2013, or you are not. But just generally, what you've stood for, the values that you represent, how will you be viewed 30, 40 years from now?
MB: Well I hope that 30, 40 years from now that I will be viewed as a wonderful mother to our children. The No. 1 thing that I care about is the fact that I did my job by the children because that has a legacy that will far outlive me. Because it won't only be them, it will be how they impact their children and the next generation. And it almost brings tears to my eyes because I remember my great grandmother. I talk often on the trail about the links on the chain. The links aren't metal, the links are flesh and blood. It's our grandparents and our great grandparents and our parents and then you look in front of you and see the children and then the grandchildren.
We haven't had grandchildren yet, none of our children are married. That day will come, I hope. But I see how pivotal that place is for my husband and myself. We are one of those links right now. We connect to our parents but now we also connect to our children and their spouses and the other children.
We are not perfect people, but I just want to make sure that for my husband and I, that we've been faithful. Faithful to those kids, faithful to each other, faithful to do our job. That doesn't guarantee the kids will turn out perfect. It doesn't guarantee they will make that they will make all best decisions in life. But I just want to know when I come to the end of my days that I was faithful to them. That's very important to me.
More: You've been talking about this very painful experience you had with a miscarriage. … How often are you talking about that and is that the first time you've brought it up or is that something you've discussed over your personal history?
MB: I've brought it up before. It's not frequent. It's usually if I'm talking to a group about the life issue. The reason why I bring it up the point of the story, it's very personal.
We didn't talk about it for a long time because it was so personal for my husband and I, that loss. The reason why I bring it up is because it's far more common than what I thought. Many women have it. But also I bring it up because it was a life changing moment for my husband and I. Because that was really the moment when we opened ourselves up to the reality of how important children are. Not that we didn't think the first two were important or the baby that we lost. It changed our thinking in that we wanted to be open to more. Maybe that's what it was. We didn't get married saying we're going to have two kids and that's it. We really didn't even think about how many children we would have. But I think when that happened we were just profoundly struck by the value of every human being, and we wanted just to be open to have them. That also was a precursor to us being willing to have broken hearts for kids that come out of less than perfect circumstances. That's not to condemn any of their parents or their extended family.
It's just that kids who come out of a challenging situation need someone to be there. That's maybe the beginning for us. It isn't that we thought about foster care at that moment but I think something changed in us that we opened ourselves up to be more wiling to pour our lives out for children. That was a change moment for us.
More: Is there anything I didn't ask you that you'd want in an article about women and females running for president?
MB: I love women. I love women I love their hearts. There are a lot of women who are suffering. I talk to a lot of women on the campaign trail who have difficult times who are suffering. A lot of women who have been disappointed, have been let down.
