I'm pretty good in the kitchen, but there are a few areas that I feel I could improve upon. It's the simple things that
trip me up the most–maybe because I don't feel like I really need to follow the recipe (it's so easy!) or pay that much
attention to the specifics.
Like roasting a chicken, for example. I season it a little and throw it in the oven. It always comes out good–but not great. Why? Because I often overlook the little things I could do to make it even better. And I'll bet there are more people than just me in this boat. Here are 5 things I think we all should learn to cook or master this year and a few tips to set you (and me) on the road to success.
—Hilary Meyer, Associate Food Editor
Sounds easy (and it is), but there are some things you can do to make it great. Like invest in a good thermometer. Roast
chicken can become dry in a hurry if it's overcooked. Temp your bird in the thickest part of the thigh until it reaches
165 degrees F. It will be thoroughly cooked, but still moist and juicy. And if you're like me and the million others who
plan on eating healthier in the new year, the skin on the roast chicken is off limits. But you won't miss it if you
remember to season your bird with salt and pepper under the skin. This way the seasoning makes direct contact
with the meat so you'll get more flavor.

I'm in desperate need of quick weeknight recipes, so I'm setting out to master the stir-fry. I can't count the times I've
wanted a stir-fry and ended up with a plate of steamed vegetables. One of the tricks here is to not go too crazy loading
up your pan. This is a case where "the more the merrier" doesn't apply. Leave space in your pan to get a good sear on
your food so it doesn't steam due to overcrowding.

Everyone loves a juicy burger. But the classic juicy burger you probably had at your last barbecue was compliments of
some not-so-lean beef. In the EatingWell Test Kitchen, we like to use 90%–lean ground beef or leaner. Good for the heart,
but not so good for the juicy factor—lean beef can get incredibly dry. So I'm going to get creative about making
healthier burgers by adding chopped vegetables and other things like barbecue sauce to the meat to boost flavor and
moisture, and I'll be careful not to overwork the meat while I'm mixing it up so it doesn't become too tough.

Like anything in baking, pie crust can be temperamental. But if you perfect pie crust you have a great vessel for the
season's best fruits and vegetables. I'm going to work on my pie-crust skills, such as always chilling my dough
thoroughly before rolling it and taking care not to over mix so it doesn't toughen up and taste like cardboard.

I'll be the first to admit, I don't eat as much fish as I should. I think it's because I don't know how to cook it
perfectly. Well, this is the year of the fish for Hilary Meyer. I'm going to invest in a good nonstick pan (so I don't
have to use a ton of oil to prevent my fish from sticking), keep tabs on what fish is sustainably caught and use our easy
3–step process for cooking up crispy fish fillets healthfully.

The Wanted Discuss Boxing One Direction, Perform 'Walk Like Rihanna' on 'The Talk'
On the June 6 episode of 'The Talk,' the Wanted popped by for a sit down chat and to perform their adorbs new single 'Walks Like Rihanna.' They hit familiar topics, such as their association with Lindsay Lohan, which was met with giggles. But the most interesting thing the boys said was that they'd like to move their Twitter beefing with fellow boy band One Direction from the social media space to the boxing ring!
"It does get blown out of proportion a little bit, and especially when you are constantly asked about it and you make one comment that can be taken the wrong way," Tom Parker said. "There has been a little banter online on Twitter. We said we should go in a boxing ring and blow off some steam for charity. Which I think is a great idea."
Can you just imagine Jay McGuiness and Harry Styles throwing haymakers left and right? Their curls would get all sweaty and messy. Gasp! BTW, what is it with cute male pop stars obsessing about boxing?
Also, um, Tom, this doesn't sound like something that was taken out of context either, bro! Just sayin'.
As for the Li Lo thing, Max George danced around the topic of her fighting other girls over his affections, saying, "That's extremely flattering. It's cool, but normally, it's me and Jay fighting over a girl!" Who wouldn't want to be that girl, ladies?
It was sorta weird to see the band performing 'Walks Like Rihanna' sans Nathan Sykes who is recovering from throat surgery. We miss you Nathan!
Same goes for 'Glad You Came.' The song is the band's signature hit and it was more than a little strange to see it performed without Sykes!
The hosts of 'The Talk' were shown on camera in the crowd, singing and rocking out! Totally presh.
Oh, and in the preview from Episode 2 of their new E! reality show 'The Wanted Life,' we see some strife between the band and member Siva Kaneswaran, who wants to bring his girlfriend along on a private jet for a performance in Las Vegas. Not so fast, as their manager says it's "boys only." The band has to come first.
Siva's GF gives him an ultimatum, saying if she can't come, they don't have a relationship. Burn!
The ep airs Sunday (June 9) so tune in.

Visual Learning: Out of Character
Images, photos, and pictures stimulate the mind. For the viewer, they offer a chance to connect and question. They also offer potential for play and imagination, pulling the observer into purposeful messages.
Most often, newspaper and magazine readers take a quick glance at photos and their captions. With this YES! lesson plan, you and your students can luxuriate—and pause—to truly understand an image, its message, and why it's interesting (or not).
Step1: What do you notice (before the facts)?
Ask your students to digest the photograph by trusting their instincts of observation and inference. In doing so, the image offers possibilities and interpretations beyond a typical reading where the reader glances at a photograph to reinforce its title or caption. Do not introduce any facts, captions, or other written words. In response to the question, "What do you notice?" you may hear: swan, bark, bones, cells, islands, and some honest confusion.
Step 2: What are you wondering?
After you've heard your students' first observations, you may hear a peppering of questions: Is this a creature? Is this an animal carved from wood? Is this a group of cells from a microscope? Was this created by Photoshop? This is a good time to reveal the photo's caption and other information about the photo. Watch how the conversation shifts from what students believe to be true to discerning the facts about the photo.
Photo Caption:
"A close up of a finished work by Kazuaki Tanahashi, an accomplished Japanese calligrapher. Born and trained in Japan, Tanahashi is an active calligraphy and Zen teacher as well as an environmentalist and peace worker. His paintings have been displayed in exhibitions internationally."
Photo by Unnikrishnan Raveendranathan, an award-winning photographer and multimedia artist originally from India, for the Global Oneness Project.
Photo Facts:
Kazuaki Tanahashi creates images with brush calligraphy, an ancient Eastern writing system. Tanahashi uses animal-hair brushes sized as small as pencils to as large as kitchen mops that he dips in richly colored paints. The artist's mastery of different brush pressures results in a dynamic, pixilated image when seen up close.
Calligraphy artists vary the types of hair in their brushes to achieve different textures in their final paintings. For example, sheep and goat hair absorb more colored ink than other types of hair. Monks made their first calligraphy brushes from wolf, squirrel, badger and even tiger hair; today, brushes are more commonly made from the hair of sheep, dog, cat, rabbit, deer, goat, and horse.
The term "Zen calligraphy" was coined because calligraphy is often associated with the Zen sect of Buddhism. It is common practice for Zen monks and nuns to learn calligraphy as part of their monastic training and search for enlightenment. Now also practiced by professional artists, modern Zen calligraphy still requires the artist to "be one" with his or her creation. Today's Zen calligraphers strive to work in a "no-mind" state, and to paint slowly without interruption. The best calligraphy, they believe, is neither rushed nor intentionally practiced so as to embody the highest meaning.
Challenging this Zen philosophy, new robots are able to produce a master's work en masse. The robots can record original brush strokes as a calligrapher paints across a glass screen. The robots then use their own paintbrushes to produce images with almost the same detail as the original, echoing the exact line and pressure the artist used. These robots also digitize and store data on the work, preserving the art of calligraphy for posterity.

Step 3: What next?
- Some complicated Japanese letters or characters (kanji) take up to 15 brush or pen strokes to complete. As the ease of typing lessens the need or desire to practice penmanship in Japan, fewer people know how to write correctly by hand. Are robots the answer? What is the value in a handwritten letter or original painting? Which do you find more beautiful or meaningful? Think of some examples from personal experience.
- Common Core Standards, a set of national education standards adopted by 46 states and the District of Columbia, no longer requires students to learn cursive writing. Instead, students must be keyboard proficient by the fourth grade. As most American students see writing in cursive as more of a nuisance than an art form, do you think cursive writing should still be taught in school? What might be lost or gained by eliminating cursive?
- Apple Computer founder Steve Jobs studied calligraphy with a former Trappist monk after he dropped out of college. Jobs credits his appreciation for beautiful typography—nurtured in these calligraphy classes—as the inspiration for the fonts, spacing and text sizes he used in the first Macintosh computer. While moveable type was invented for publishers in the fifteenth century, many recognize Jobs for bringing customizable and printable computer fonts to the public. Do you have a favorite font? Why is that font appealing? If you had the freedom to explore and dream like Steve Jobs did, what would you study? What stops you from doing this now?

Some men with low PSAs have prostate cancer: Most cancers found are not likely to be clinically significant
Men with low PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels on screening tests can still have prostate cancer, according to a study * released today by scientists from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, and the Southwest Oncology Group, an NCI-funded network of researchers. In this study, prostate cancers were detected by biopsy in men with normal PSA levels.
"The good news is that the vast majority of these cancers were low and intermediate grade, which often are not clinically significant," said Leslie Ford, M.D., associate director for clinical research in NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention, who participated in the research.
"This was the first systematic study of men with PSA levels from 0 to 4 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). It shows that cancer of the prostate can be present in men with 'normal' PSAs," said Ian Thompson, M.D., University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, who led the study. Doctors often use the value of 4.0 ng/ml or greater as the trigger for further investigation, such as a prostate biopsy. A PSA level below 4.0 is generally considered normal.
Prostate cancer clinicians often say that men are much more likely to die with prostate cancer than from it. According to recent autopsy studies, many men over age 50 have early, undiagnosed prostate cancer. Clinicians concur that most early cancers remain harmless, though some may progress to clinically significant disease.
The 2,950 men in this study were from the "control arm" of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT), an NCI-funded study that found in 2003 that the drug finasteride reduced by 25 percent a man's chances of getting prostate cancer.
Men in the control arm were given a placebo, or sugar pill, instead of finasteride and, like the men on the finasteride arm, received annual prostate screening for seven years with a PSA test and a digital rectal exam (DRE). All men in PCPT entered the trial at age 55 or above, had an initial PSA level of 3 ng/ml or less, and a normal DRE. All were asked to undergo an end-of-study prostate biopsy. The report released today focused on men at low risk of having prostate cancer the 2,950 men on the placebo arm who had normal DREs and PSAs less than or equal to 4 ng/ml for the seven-year study duration.
Since the late 1980s, PSA tests have been widely used in the United States in an attempt to detect prostate cancer at an early stage. However, PSA testing has never been proven to reduce the risk of dying from prostate cancer. Not all prostate cancer detected by PSA screening is clinically relevant and, therefore, screening carries a risk of "over-diagnosing" the disease, which could lead to unnecessary surgery or radiation therapy. Thus, PSA testing is not a universally recommended screening procedure. An ongoing NCI study is addressing the issue of whether PSA screening reduces the risk of death from prostate cancer.
"The main study finding was that 15 percent of the men in the PCPT control arm had a positive end-of study biopsy despite having PSA levels below 4 ng/ml and normal DREs throughout the study," said Thompson.
Importantly, the study also found that only 2.3 percent of men in the PCPT control arm with PSA levels of 4 ng/ml or less had high-grade cancers. For men with a PSA of 2 or lower, the chance of having a high-grade cancer was even lower 1.4 percent. Grade was measured by Gleason score, a system that ranks tumors from 2 to 10 based on their appearance under the microscope. High-grade tumors Gleason scores of 7 to 10 often grow more quickly and may be more likely to spread than lower-grade tumors.
Gleason scores of the highest grades 8 or 9 were found in only seven participants, or 0.2 percent of men in the PCPT control arm. Most of the men with prostate cancer, 349 of them (78 percent), had Gleason scores of 5 or 6.
"Most of these men would not have been diagnosed if they had not taken part in this study, since biopsies are not routinely performed in men with such low PSA levels," said Ford.
"We need better methods to distinguish the harmless, slow-growing cancers from the more aggressive ones," continued Ford. "If more biopsies are performed at lower PSA levels, more cancers will be found and treated. But some men would undergo treatment, and the risks associated with it, for tumors that would never have been clinically significant."
Treatment for prostate cancer can sometimes lead to impotence, urinary incontinence, and other problems, causing a substantial health burden for men.
"Lowering the PSA threshold for proceeding to prostate biopsy would increase the risks of overdiagnosing and overtreating clinically unimportant disease," said Thompson.
NCI-funded researchers are looking for ways to determine which men harbor aggressive tumors. The NCI Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) has a Prostate Collaborative Group, which is applying a variety of strategies to find ways to detect prostate cancer early. Some scientists are using the new tools of genomics and proteomics to look at how gene expression patterns and proteins in the blood may differ in men with aggressive tumors vs. those with slow-growing ones.
"There is a great need for methods, beyond tumor grade, to better predict which men have prostate cancers requiring treatment," said Thompson.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, after skin cancer. It is estimated that approximately 230,110 men in the United States will be diagnosed with the disease this year, and about 30,000 men will die from it.

The hollow forged alloy crank (after flirting with carbon, Shimano Dura-Ace cranks are now fully alloy again) is matched up with a hollow outer chainring to produce a crankset that's a tad (15g) lighter than before. It's also said to be 20% stiffer although, in use, you'll do well to notice. Even if you're a big rider pushing a big gear, the difference is tiny – but, hey, everything helps so we're not going to argue. If you really want to get out your anorak and magnifying glass, you can take a look at the slightly altered tooth shape which is designed to give better contact and power transfer. The crankset comes in a whole range of chainring size options including, for the first time, a 50-34T compact design for a lower set of gear ratios.

There's been a huge volume of smaller grade yellowtail caught just below the border. While guys are searching for the big bluefin, and coming across kelps loaded with yellows, and limiting out. It's been a wide open bite the last few days. They're eating everything from fin-bait to the iron. This is definitely a good sign of what's to come!

Yellows Are Biting At San Clemente Island
May 2, 2019 Leave a Comment
Reports are coming in that the Island has been producing some good size yellows, averaging 15# to 20# with the occasional 30 pounder in the mix.. the hot ticket is live squid, but they'll come up and bite on finbait.. your best bet is fly-lining a 30# top shot and live squid. Good luck out there, and keep sending us those reports.

September 24, 2018 Leave a Comment
There have been a lot of local marlin released over the weekend during the local Pesky tournament. Some of the hot spots that were holding a good body of fish have been the 14 mile bank, Avalon bank, 277, the oil rigs, and the slide off of Catalina. Keep sending in your reports, and luck!
The Marlin Are Biting
August 6, 2018 Leave a Comment
A great report came in on Sunday.. 3 marlin released off the East end of Catalina along the slide off a temp break at slack tide.. all were jig fish!
Also, there have been several kelp holding dorado & yellows when running across the channel. It's a good start, but not quite full speed yet. Keep sending us those reports!
Limits of Sand Bass & Barracuda !!!
June 26, 2018 Leave a Comment
Horseshoe Kelp just switched on over the weekend! We've been getting daily reports of limits on the sand bass and cudas. The bass are eating everything you send down from plastics, iron, fin bait to frozen squid on a light lead head set up. The stove pipes are up to 7-8lbs and have been in haling the Yo-Zuri deep divers, fin bait, and the guys who are fishing the iron, it's pretty much wide open! Pay attention to the bird schools to get an idea where the cudas are feeding. Horseshoe Kelp- 33D 40.07'N. x 118D 12.15'W
There's a Hot Yellowtail Bite Going On!
June 5, 2018 Leave a Comment
San Clemente Island has been the hot ticket lately for the yellows.. they're ranging from 10 to 35 lbs. Guys are catching them mostly on fin bait, but they're also chewing the surface iron. Keep sending in your reports!

The bluefin bite hasn't stopped yet.. they're not the giants, but ranging anywhere from 10 to 30lbs. The go to set-up has been a 25 to 30lb rig, but when it starts slowing down, try dropping down to a 15 or 20lb fluoro top shot and a smaller hook, such as: #2 & #4. Fish hard when they start to bite.. because the bite usually ends before noon. Keep sending in those reports, thanks!

In 1986 we moved inside to the "Old Bus Barns" on Saturdays. The underlying philosophy of the market which we still use today was introduced, "We Make it! We Bake it! We Grow it! We Sell it!" Now in our 30th year of operation we rotate a roster of nearly 300 vendors through 185 stalls. On any given Saturday we have around 130 vendors selling only locally produced, handmade products. We bring our products fresh from the farm to your family - we believe this is what makes a 'true' farmers' market!

Healthy ABCs
Taking care of your diabetes and the conditions that come with it can help you lower your chances of heart and blood vessel disease.
Even if you have heart disease or have already had a heart attack or a stroke, every step you take to keep your ABCs (A1C, blood pressure, and cholesterol) in your target range will help lower your risk of future heart disease or a stroke.
A is for A1C. Your A1C check, which also may be reported as estimated average glucose (eAG) tells you your average blood glucose for the past 2 to 3 months. Read more about A1C.
B is for blood pressure. High blood pressure makes your heart work harder than it should. Read more about blood pressure.
C is for cholesterol. Your cholesterol numbers tell you about the amount of fat in your blood. Some kinds, like HDL cholesterol, help protect your heart. Others, like LDL cholesterol, can clog your arteries. High triglycerides raise your risk for a heart attack or a stroke. Read more about cholesterol.

2014 Life Sciences Outlook has been added to your bookmarks.
2014 Life Sciences Outlook
Interview with Terry Hisey
2014 is anticipated to be a positive year for U.S. life sciences companies, as they continue to obtain greater clarity on Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation and its impacts, become increasingly better at capitalizing on emerging market opportunities, and incorporate real-world evidence into their strategic thinking and decision-making. Demographics and disease trends are expected to continue boosting drug consumption, while the expansion of insurance coverage to millions of uninsured Americans under the ACA (via health insurance exchanges and Medicaid expansion) is forecast to increase revenue for drug makers, according to Deloitte LLP's Terry Hisey, vice chairman and U.S. Life Sciences sector leader. Read on for his thoughts on the year ahead.
Explore content
What is the biggest challenge facing your sector in the coming year?
This version of health reform is going to accelerate the transformation of U.S. and global health care from a volume- to value-based marketplace. And that means our clients in medical technology, pharma and biotech will be having different conversations with different people than they traditionally have. Going forward it is no longer a physician-preference world; patient advocacy groups, hospital administrators, and other stakeholders will play a key role in product selection and purchase. Companies will need to be responsive to how the market wants to buy rather than fixating on how the company wants to sell.
To strengthen their ability to compete, life sciences companies will need to shift their focus from competing on volume to competing on value, and employ new business models that recognize the impacts of health care reform and the power of new decision makers in product pricing and selection.
To do this will require a robust comparative effectiveness (CE) strategy and a real-world evidence program that supports current commercial activities, informs late-stage clinical development and provides forward visibility of the strategic needs to grow the business.
What trends might disrupt "business as usual" in 2014?
The current political landscape is playing a key role in transforming the U.S. health care marketplace and shaping the life sciences industry's short- and long-term planning. Heading into 2014, the country will see a fair number of ACA initiatives, such as health insurance exchanges, moving from proposed and enacted to implementation. ACA-related pharmaceutical industry fees, a new medical device tax and lower government drug prices could negatively impact growth. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) continued work to finalize a biosimilars pathway may also be a concern.
The U.S. health care provider landscape is also changing – physician-hospital consolidations are growing in frequency, and combined purchasing departments are growing in influence, which may reduce life sciences companies' negotiating power. In addition, providers and health plans are now armed with a more comprehensive fact set than in the past to inform their evaluation of life sciences products.
With these and other disruptive forces in play, life sciences companies – whether drug or device manufacturers – face a fact-based messaging future. It will be important to have a strong program in place to access meaningful, robust, real-world evidence from the marketplace and clinical delivery organizations. As well, companies will require strategies to inform decisions across the life sciences value chain; ones that recognize shifting purchasing patterns and enable conversations around a product's clinical, safety and economic impact. The true hurdle is adoption, not just product approval, so articulating a clear value proposition will be imperative.
The shifting ecosystem also generates talent issues for life sciences companies. To prosper, organizations will need institutional and individual capabilities in advanced analytics, population health management, market trends and customer segmentation, and account management to deal with more powerful/non-clinical buyers.
What are some steps companies can take to foster innovation and/or growth?
Innovation and growth across the life sciences value chain can take many forms, such as employing new commercial models; pursuing growth through non-traditional external relationships; increasing value-based contracting; using alternative distribution channels; executing work more cost-effectively; and defining a value proposition beyond the pill or the device (e.g., being a care management partner independent of a product).
Improving the return on investment (ROI) for life sciences research and development (R&D) will continue to be an important focus for companies seeking both innovation and growth, especially when developing alternatives to existing, in-line therapies. Asking the right questions, conducting clinical studies and accessing big data can support an honest evaluation of the ability of products in a company's pipeline to dramatically improve outcomes and/or safety profiles, shift purchase patterns, lower prices and address unmet needs. Such insights may result in the decision to move forward only those compounds that will clear the dual hurdles of FDA approval and marketplace adoption.

Proton Therapy For Prostate Cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My friend is getting treated with proton therapy. What is the difference between that and regular radiation? Is it better?
Neha Vapiwala , MD, Senior Editor of OncoLink and Chief Resident in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Proton beams are considered a form of particle therapy and a way of delivering external beam radiation therapy. So-called "regular radiation" is also external beam radiation that consists of high-energy x-rays rather than particles. The main difference protons and X-rays is a physical one: X-rays used in cancer therapy are electromagnetic waves that are highly penetrating, and will deliver dose throughout any volume of tissue irradiated, regardless of thickness. So x-rays tend to deliver substantial doses of radiation both on the way in and on the way out on the way to the tumor volume. Unlike with X-rays, the absorbed dose of a proton beam increases very gradually as it travels through the body, and then suddenly peaks at the end (this is known as the Bragg Peak). A proton beam can be directed so that the Bragg Peak occurs inside the tumor volume, something that cannot be done with X-rays. As a result, the dose around the tumor volume is much less than the tumor itself. Side effects, both acute and long-term, can thus possibly be reduced with proton beams due to the sparing of normal tissues that are situated around the tumor. Ultimately this depends on the type, size and location of the tumor, and proton therapy is not appropriate or preferred for all patients.
For your reference, we have lots more information on OncoLink.

All Grants and Scholarships listed on this page are awards that are gifted to the student and do not need to be paid back to SUA. These awards may be merit-based or need-based. They carry with them specific criteria and terms and conditions for renewal.
Soka University is very fortunate to have had the opportunity this year to provide 100% of our freshmen class with at least one institutional grant or scholarship. One hundred percent of our continuing students who were eligible for need-based financial assistance received a need-based scholarship or grant. Students may combine more than one institutional scholarship to cover costs up to the cost of attendance.
In order to maintain fairness and equity across our institutional grants and scholarships, all opportunities on this page are available for both international and domestic students. Unless noted, institutional scholarships and grants are available to all incoming students.
Need-Based Aid
Soka Opportunity Scholarship (SOS)
Up to the cost of tuition │ Renewable for 8 semesters
In an effort to promote greater diversity and access to higher education, all admitted students to the BA in Liberal Arts program whose annual earned family income is $60,000* or less, and who have neither graduated from college nor completed more than 3/4 of their required coursework towards their first undergraduate degree (e.g., BA/BS) at the time of application to SUA, will receive full tuition (room and board fees will still apply). *Income includes wages, interest, dividends, capital gain, etc. SUA provides prorated awards for students who come from families with higher income levels and/or have significant assets.
Students who receive any combination of Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Cal Grant and Soka Opportunity Scholarship funds will see a reduction in the actual Soka Opportunity Scholarship award by the amount(s) awarded through Pell, FSEOG and Cal Grant. SUA's policy is to apply these funds towards tuition charges before awarding the Soka Opportunity Scholarship. The end result is that the tuition will be fully covered by the combination of these funds.
Eligibility for the SOS is determined by your financial aid application. Students must maintain a cumulative or term GPA of 2.0 to renew the SOS on an annual basis. Domestic students should complete the FAFSA and international students should complete the Financial Aid Application for International Students.

I'm a cheat-ah! Sorry. Couldn't resist!
Yeah….. totally cheating here. The real 5th outfit for my most recent 5 Day Challenge (One Shoe, Five Days: LAMB Nathan) has been waiting to be posted for a while. But the more I looked at it, the more I disliked the outfit. And in reality, what I really wore is different than what I photographed since I changed my blazer midday. SO, I took some "creative" liberty here and re-did my 5th outfit. I think this one is much better 🙂
Faux Wayfarers :: Ebay
T-shirt :: Thrifted (But originally from Target)
Cheetah Pants :: Target
Booties :: L.A.M.B. Nathan
Necklaces :: Self-made
Bag :: Old & refashioned with pyramid studs

Juliette Bench finds success with a Cape Cod-inspired flip-flop
The story sounds like the plot of a romantic comedy starring Emma Stone.
A harried New York shoe designer works her way up the ladder at Kate Spade, designs for Tommy Hilfiger, and then tosses it all aside for a quiet life on Cape Cod. She moves into her parents' summer house and starts her own business designing flip-flops. Romance enters the story when she meets the man who becomes her husband.
Replace Stone with West Roxbury native Juliette Bench, and the plot is currently playing out in real life. While Bench thrived in her frenetic life in New York, she daydreamed of a romantic existence on Cape Cod. She started planning her escape from the city by creating a flip-flop design around a symbol of summer: the white braided sailor's bracelet, a staple found on wrists all over New England and beyond this time of year.
"I think the bracelet is something that a lot of people who grew up near the beach identify with," Bench said. "For me, I just think of summer. It's a happy time."
Bench's Cape Cod Shoe Supply Co. uses the sailor's bracelet for the upper strap of the shoe. The result is a flip-flop that looks more substantial and more beach-appropriate than its rubber cousin. After two years of design and planning, she officially launched in May 2012. In just a year, her shoes have been picked up by several specialty shops, and are now being carried at a dozen Nordstrom stores. She's opened an office in Boston, and yes, she's also moved out of her parents' summer house in Harwich Port.
Q. Why do you think your design is catching on when flip-flops are already omnipresent?
A. I think there's a few reasons. Locally and in resort towns they're doing well because people have that nostalgia about the braided sailor's bracelet from when they were a kid. I also think because they are so comfortable.
Q. How did you get the idea to use a sailor's bracelet for the top of the shoe?
A. It was one of those things that was a natural progression for me. The whole reason why I started this line was because I started coming to the Cape more frequently on the weekends when I was in New York. I really started to miss living up here and being around family. I kept these bracelets and would still wear them once in a while, so I thought "Why hasn't anyone made a flip-flop out of this?" I researched a little bit online and saw that nobody had done it. It was one of those things that was an obvious choice.
Q. Does it feel odd designing flip-flops after working on dressier, high-end shoes?
A. I never thought I'd be designing flip-flops, but it's a good starting point for my company. I respect avant-garde designers, but that's not really me. I'm not into super complicated designs but I appreciate that and other designers. I felt like I should stick to what I'm really good at.
Q. But I'm guessing you'll move beyond flip-flops in the near future.
A. I want to expand on the flip-flop and expand on the braid. Next summer we're introducing more colors in women's and then leather versions. It's a little bit of hybrid. We'll have the braid with leather, and some will be all over leather. Then we'll also be coming out with bags and bracelets. For better or for worse, I think people are just really gravitating toward casual items. I hear this from other people in the shoe industry. You look around and people are wearing Sperry, Uggs, Toms, flip-flops, or Hunter. People are really loyal to them. I think there is something to be said if you come out with a product that's very comfortable. You will develop a little bit of the following.

BRIDPORT — For many teens, life's all about hanging out with friends, sports, getting a job and coordinating weekend festivities.
For some Addison County teens, it's about working and helping out on the farm. Although not every person who grows up on the farm takes an interest in the field, there are those who are passionate about farming and continue the generational trend in Vermont and care for their surroundings and their future.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Earthquakes midfielder Brad Ring visited Campbell Middle School in on Wednesday in the sixth Amway Kicks for Kids event of 2011. In its third year of existence, Amway Kicks for Kids teaches local youth about the importance of a healthy diet and an active lifestyle.
The day began when a Campbell team leader, Tim Tararus, gave a brief introduction and presented Ring to an enthusiastic ovation. The group of 125 middle schoolers welcomed the central midfielder with chants and cheers. Ring was joined at the event by Shakers squad members Silvana, Angenee, Jessica and Mia.
PHOTO GALLERY: Ring visits Campbell Middle School
WATCH: Highlights from Ring's visit
The Illinois native stressed the impact a healthy diet and active lifestyle had during his childhood. He detailed his journey from playing for the Rockford United and Chicago Magic club teams to moving to heading to Indiana University and then making the jump to MLS. At all of these stops, he stressed the importance of healthy lifestyle choices.
Ring chatted with the Campbell students and held an extended question-and-answer session with them. After this, he then invited kids from the group to join him for a juggling contest and a header-catch contest. He made sure to outline the importance of outdoor-activities-over-video-games and related by using examples from his childhood.
To conclude the afternoon, Ring signed autographs and Earthquakes staff handed out 125 replica jersey t-shirts and 250 tickets, courtesy of Amway, to the students for San Jose's sixth home game of the season on Saturday, May 21 at 7:30 p.m. PT at Buck Shaw Stadium against the New England Revolution.
The Earthquakes and Amway teamed up to create Amway Kicks for Kids in 2009. The program is in its third season in 2011. Through Amway Kicks for Kids, Earthquakes players will visit 17 schools or community centers in the Bay Area to discuss the importance of being active and living a healthy lifestyle.

Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a vehicle for a contractual period � usually referred to as the �lease period�. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract � when the contract expires you will simply return the vehicle and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your vehicle.

Road Tax is based upon the CO2 emissions of the vehicle and is split into 13 bands from A to M. The higher the letter the greater the cost of tax paid to drive the vehicle on public roads. In addition to the road tax detailed below, any vehicle that had a manufacturers retail price in excess of �40,000 when first sold, attracts a road tax supplement of an additional �320 per year. This is charged until the vehicle is 6 years old.

Ten Second Review
The seventh generation version of Vauxhall's Astra family hatch manages to be better equipped, more efficient and more spacious than its predecessor, plus it offers a worthwhile engine range that includes an efficient little 1.0-litre three cylinder petrol unit. Think that sounds promising? Then like us, you might think that this could be an extremely tough rival for segment-leading Golf and Focus models.
Despite Vauxhall's best efforts over more than three decades and six different generations, their Astra has rarely been the family hatchback its drivers would ideally have chosen to own. Not because it's ever been a bad car: just never a class-leading one. The kind of model you bought because it was good value. Or more likely, because you were given the keys by your company Fleet Manager. This seventh generation version was designed to do better - and the signs are that it might. As you may expect, it's smarter-looking, but more importantly, it's also up to 200kgs lighter than before, so the most frugal variant can manage over 90mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 82g/km. There's plenty of technology too, including 1.0-litre three cylinder technology, the clever OnStar system - and the Intellilink infotainment packages. Best of all perhaps, this car offers higher interior quality and claims to be sharper to drive. That's important. Manufacturers selling family hatchbacks of this kind are usually torn between trying to match the quality and comfort of a Volkswagen Golf or the sharp handling of a Ford Focus. Most end up with a compromise between the two that leaves these impressive class leaders untroubled. With this car, the GM designers claim to have done better - but have they? Let's find out.
Driving Experience
The engineers created a completely fresh platform for this MK7 model Astra but it isn't one featuring the multi-link rear suspension set-up that does so much to make a rival Ford Focus ride and handle so sweetly. The downside of that kind of arrangement lies not only in its cost but also in the way it intrudes on bootspace (which is why a Focus' boot is so relatively small). Hence the decision with this Astra to stick with the previous model's relatively simple torsion beam rear suspension system, a set-up enhanced with a so-called 'Watts linkage' feature to improve cornering stability. The engine range offers the option of the old 1.4 litre petrol unit in 125 or 150PS forms but we'd prefer the smaller 105PS 1.0-litre three cylinder unit. Most Astra buyers though, are probably going to want a diesel. The old 1.3, 1.7 and 2.0-litre CDTi units have been pensioned off and in their place sits the quieter, torquier 1.6-litre CDTi diesel, offered with either 110 or 136PS. Both petrols and diesels benefit from a sweet-shifting six speed gearbox manual gearbox.
Design and Build
You know at first glance that this is a Vauxhall thanks to the corporate grille, which flows into headlights which come with the option of full LED technology. There's also the familiar 'blade' graphic stamped into the side of the body and rear lights that spread into the tailgate like the smaller Corsa. Another nice touch is the 'floating' roof, an effect created by a dark trim on the C-pillar and highlighted by a chrome strip that runs the length of the roof. There's also the option of quite a sleek estate variant, the Sports Tourer. Up-front, there's the expected smart fascia with splashes of chrome and the expected standard touchscreen infotainment screen that as usual reduces dashboard button clutter. The General Motors 'OnStar' system is available, the set-up providing an in-car Wi-Fi hotspot, 24/7 assistance from a dedicated service team and the ability to call the emergency services if the airbags deploy. Out back, there's very class-competitive rear legroom. And you get a 370-litre bpoot - or 540-litres in the Sports Tourer estate.
Market and Model
Prices start from just under £19,000 and range up to around £28,000 and there's the usual mainstream bodystyle choice of five-door hatch and Sports Tourer estate. With the latest generation hatch and estate, there are nine main trim levels - 'Design', 'Tech Line Nav', 'Griffin', 'SRi', 'SRi Nav', 'SRi VX-Line', 'SRi VX-Line Nav', 'Elite Nav' and 'Ultimate'. Diesel variants start around £20,500 and get the much quiet 1.6-litre CDTi engine. And equipment? Well, if you opt for base 'Design' trim, you get 16" alloy wheels, air conditioning, a DAB stereo with Bluetooth, a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay compatibility, cruise control and all round power mirrors and windows. Business users will be interested in the 'Tech Line' trim that adds sat nav and a leather steering wheel. Move up to the 'SRi' grade and you get sportier wheels, a driver assistance pack, sports seats and the OnStar system that will offer help in an emergency. Top 'Elite' models gain leather electric seats that are heated front and rear, climate control and a few other luxury items. Safety kit available on plusher models or as an option includes a 'Traffic Sign Assistant' that displays traffic signs on the dash as you pass them, a 'Lane Keep Assist' system, plus a 'Forward Collision Alert' set-up with auto braking.
Cost of Ownership
Put simply, you're not going to find an Astra that's going to cost you a huge amount to run. Even the 1.4 petrol turbo is likely to return around 40mpg with a light right foot, while of course the 1.6-litre CDTi diesels will manage much more. The 1.0 three cylinder petrol model manages up to 48.7mpg on the combined cycle and 107g/km of CO2. If operating costs are your biggest worry then step forward the 1.6 litre CDTi 110PS diesel BlueInjection model, a car capable of up to 60.1mpg on the combined cycle while emitting only 107g/km of CO2. All fuel figures are WLTP-rated; all CO2 readings are NEDC. These days, Vauxhall only offers a standard three year 60,000 mile effort; the industry standard in other words. Residuals may be marginally improved by a recent extra focus on quality - we'll wait and see on that. As usual, you can help yourself in terms of model depreciation by exercising a little restraint when it comes to ticking boxes on the options list. It's very easy here to get up towards a £25,000 car without too much effort. Stick to the essentials that will make the vehicle more appealing to its potential second owner and you shouldn't do too badly.

What is pericarditis?
Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium, the thin sac (membrane) that surrounds the heart. There is a small amount of fluid between the inner and outer layers of the pericardium. When the pericardium becomes inflamed, the amount of fluid between its two layers increases, compressing the heart and interfering with its ability to function properly.
What are the symptoms of pericarditis?
The following are the most common indicators of pericarditis. However, individuals may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- chest pain that:
- can especially be felt behind the breastbone, sometimes felt beneath the clavicle (collarbone), neck, and left shoulder.
- is a sharp, piercing pain over the center or left side of the chest that increases if the person takes a deep breath.
- a low-grade fever
- pain when swallowing
- arrhythmias (irregular heart beats)
The symptoms of pericarditis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Consult a physician for diagnosis.
What causes pericarditis?
Usually, the cause of pericarditis is unknown, but may include any/all of the following:
- heart attack
- infection (viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic)
- chest trauma or injury
- cancer spreading from a nearby tumor in the lung, breast, or the blood
- connective tissue disorders (i.e., lupus erythematosus)
- heart surgery
Treatment for pericarditis:
Specific treatment will be determined by your physician based on:
- your age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the disease
- cause of the disease
- your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the disease
- your opinion or preference
The goal of treatment for pericarditis is to determine and eliminate the cause of the disease. Treatment may include:
- medication (i.e., analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs)
- aspiration of excess fluid
- surgery
Pericarditis may last from two to six weeks, and there may be a recurrence of the disorder.

Winter 2012
We know that Santa gets around during the holiday season, but sleighs are not his only
favorite mode of travel. In Western Connecticut, you can often find the man in red enjoying a holiday train ride--and he loves company. On December weekends, Santa can be found aboard the Santa Express leaving from Thomaston, CT, ready with bags of goodies for all the young passengers he meets along the way.
Santa is so fond of trains that he even has two satellite workshops in train cars, one reached via a vintage train ride at the Danbury Railway Museum and another along the way on the Northern Lights Limited, a nighttime train excursion from Thomaston.
Rides are just part of the special railroad fun for families this year in Fairfield and Litchfield Counties, where lavish displays of working model trains are a traditional holiday treat in several locations.
The Santa Express in Thomaston
This 1920s vintage train travels along the scenic Naugatuck River for a warm, cozy 80-minute round-trip ride. Santa brings along Mrs. Claus and some friendly helper elves to visit with each child on board. Trains depart from the historic 1881 station in Thomaston Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. for the first four weekends in December.
Light displays inside and out make for an exciting outing at night aboard the Northern Lights Limited from Thomaston. The train makes a stop at Santa's Train Workshop, where the great man will board and greet everyone with gifts. Trains depart at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on November 24 and December 1-2, 8-9, 15-16, and 22-23.
Back at the gaily decorated station, a model train layout is in action, and a large selection of railroad theme gifts, books and memorabilia can be found. Tickets and information are available from the Railroad Museum of New England, online at rmne.org, or by phoning (860) 283-7245.
All Aboard in Danbury
At the Danbury Railway Museum, a classic 1903 station with a railroad yard filled with vintage train cars, visitors can ride a working vintage train through the yard to Santa's Workshop. They will find him busily supervising his elves as they make toys, but still with time to talk with visitors and offer a small gift for every child.
A miniature train layout whizzes its way around the restored station, where once again, there are gifts for railroad buffs of all ages. Trains leave every half hour from noon to 3 p.m. on weekends, December 8,9,15 and 16. For tickets and information, see www.Danbury.org/drm or phone: (203) 778-8337.
Whizzing Wonders
The amazing annual holiday model train layouts at several museums around Western Connecticut are a timeless treat for families.
The 25th Annual Hands On Train Display will again transform the waiting room of New Milford's restored vintage train station. Four big layouts covering almost 100 feet of track will traverse a Lilliputian landscape of hills, valleys and villages. Here, visitors are invited actually to take the controls, starting and stopping the action and operating signals and lights. The trains operate daily from noon to 4 p.m. December 22 to 30. This yearly free event is sponsored by the Greater New Milford Chamber of Commerce, 860-354-6080, www.newmilford-chamber.org
The Wilton Historical Society's annual Great Trains exhibit is truly great, featuring 12 different layouts with a wide range of makes, models and gauges of model trains whizzing their way through a variety of intricate local landscapes. The exhibit, now in its 15th year, will be open December 1 through January 21, 2013, Thursday to Sunday, 11a.m. to 5 p.m. For details, phone 203-762-7257 or see www.wiltonhistorical.org.
The Fairfield Historical Museum's annual Holiday Express Train Show begins the evening of November 30 following the tree lighting ceremony on the town green and remains open daily through December 31, except for Christmas and New Years Day. The trains wind around a spectacularly decorated tree and through a setting of holiday scenery. Gifts for train lovers will be among the ideas available in the museum's large gift shop. Hours vary; best to phone 203-259-1598 or see www.fairfieldhistory.org
The Brookfield Museum and Historical Society's annual Christmas Open House and Model Train exhibit will take place December 15 and 22 from noon to 4 p.m., featuring model train layouts, gift ideas, toys, and refreshments. Learn more at www.brookfieldcthistory.org or phone 203-740-8140.
For more information about train events, directions and listings of all the holiday doings in the region, contact the Western Connecticut Convention and Visitors Bureau, PO Box 968, Litchfield, CT 06759, (860) 567-4506, www.visitwesternct.com. They offer a free copy of the new edition of UNWIND, a 152-page color guide to the Litchfield Hills and Fairfield County.

From the historic Indian-Pioneer Papers.
Here's a modern recipe for a very old Cherokee food.
Cooking is an important part of life for the Cherokee woman. Not only is it necessary for nourishment, for life; it is part of the social fabric of the Cheokee people.
Hominy was a staple food for many years and is enjoyed today in specialty recipes such as this one.
Although not uniquely Cherokee, fry bread is a staple with most Indians. Different tribes make the bread in different ways; this recipe is for a version common in most Cherokee communities.

Immersion Corporation - Immersion Unveils User Experience Breakthrough Innovation with Touch Feedback for Laptops and Portable Devices
Nokia perfects the clicky tactile touchscreen – iPhone gnashes teeth, swears revenge*-*The Red Ferret Journal
The S2's Technology
Here's something that was posted on CB I thought I would share w/ you.
Surreal's Statement:
"Storm1 uses technology where there is one physical button, you press the entire screen down onto the button which in turn produces a 'click'."
"The difference between the Storm1 and the Storm2 is that there is no physical button on the Storm2. You do not physically click, even though it might feel like you are. The click is done by the 'new technology', the user simply touches the screen and by the amount of force and type of action that is being selected the screen clicks on its own. This drastically improves. the 'clicking speed', and in turn typing speed. This is the main difference in my opinion. Also, this introduces the concept of multi-touch points, being able to 'click' multiple keys at once."
"We won't know anything until this thing hits the market. Of course this is speculation."
