This study analyzes the validity of new, more sensitive and specific urinary biomarkers of internal dose, namely, urinary benzene for benzene and urinary toluene and S-benzylmercapturic acid (SBMA) for toluene, to assess their efficacy when compared to traditional biomarkers for biological monitoring of occupational exposure to low concentrations of these two toxic substances.
Assessment was made of 41 workers occupationally exposed to benzene and toluene, 18 fuel tanker drivers and 23 filling-station attendants, as well as 31 subjects with no occupational exposure to these toxic substances (controls). Exposure to airborne benzene and toluene was measured using passive Radiello® personal samplers worn throughout the work shift. In urine samples collected from all subjects at the end of the workday, both the traditional and the new internal dose biomarkers of benzene and toluene were assessed, as well as creatinine so as to apply suitable adjustments.
Occupational exposure to benzene and toluene resulted significantly higher in the fuel tanker drivers than the filling-station attendants, and higher in the latter than in controls. Significantly higher concentrations of t,t-muconic acid (t,t-MA), S-phenylmercapturic acid (SPMA), urinary benzene, SBMA and urinary toluene were found in the drivers than the filling-station attendants or the controls. Instead, urinary phenol and hippuric acid were not different in the three groups. In the entire sample, airborne benzene and toluene values were significantly correlated, as were the respective urinary biomarkers, showing coefficients ranging from 0.36 to 0.98. Subdividing the subjects by smoking habit, higher coefficients were evident in non-smokers than in smokers; at multiple regression analysis t,t-MA, SPMA and urinary benzene and toluene were dependent on the number of cigarettes smoked daily and on airborne benzene and toluene, respectively. Instead, SBMA was dependent only on airborne toluene.
Our research confirmed the validity of t,t-MA and SPMA for use in the biological monitoring of exposure to low concentrations of benzene. Urinary benzene showed comparable validity to SPMA; both parameters are affected by smoking cigarettes in the hours before urine collection, so it is best to ask subjects to refrain from smoking for 2 h before urine collection. Urinary toluene was found to be a more specific biomarker than SBMA.

Re-absorption of Fat?
- Dee86
- Dearborn, MI
- 2 years ago
I have been reading the site and doing other research, and one downside that many people have mentioned is the re-absorption of fat into the body. Since this is your own fat cells, I guess it makes sense that your results may diminish over time, but exactly how much are we talking about? How much fat do you need, in terms of pounds? (I have no point of reference for what "cc" means or how much 300 ccs are).
Comments (1)
Hi Dee86 as I been researching the BBL everone talks about even drs 300 cc isnt enough fat if some will absorption it really depend on what you are looking for and how big that you want yr BBL alot of the girls get 800-900cc graft I am want at least 1200cc because of the absorption I hope that help

Be sure to stop by the Main Library or Children's Library (or both!) to celebrate National Library Week! We have some neat displays up to check out, an awesome Grab Bag Book Sale going on, and even treats to snack on while you're here.
April 17th is Library Snapshot Day at the Library!
What does this mean?
When you visit either Library on Thursday, tell us why you visited the Library that day. We'll have a two question survey for you at each branch location that literally will take you just a minute to fill out while we check your items out to you. The data we collect will show us what a day in the life of our Library looks like, and is another way we can share the value of having a library in the community.
Why is this information important to us?
This information will give us more knowledge about how to best serve our community. By knowing what ways you utilize the Library and its services, we'll have a better understanding as to what type of materials, services, and programs our community appreciates. This data also allows us to be even bigger advocates for the Library as it will provide a vivid picture of the way patrons use the Library on daily basis.
At the end of the day, survey data as well as circulation and attendance numbers will be sent to the American Library Association to add to the data they are compiling which will show what happens in libraries across the nation in just one single day!

Local businesses lose 2012 fight- 20 Dec 2006 00:00:00
The remaining businesses operating on the 2012 Olympic Park site in East London will be forced to move after the Olympic organising committee LOCOG won a legal battle allowing it to purchase the land.
LOCOG had already negotiated the use of 93% of the land needed for the 2012 Games but the Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPOs), confirmed by Industry Secretary Alistair Darling, will ensure that the remaining businesses will be forced out.
The businesses affected by the latest move have been opposed to plans as they believe they warrant better compensation agreements.
Manny Lewis, chief executive of the London Development Agency (LDA), said: 'Whilst we have been granted the CPO powers, we will continue to negotiate with landowners in an effort to reach agreements.'
The LDA admitted about 70 businesses may have trouble moving and some jobs may be lost, but the Olympics would lead to an extra 11,000 jobs in the area.

Would You Ever Paint Your Fabric Furniture?
New aerosol paints are hitting the craft market intended for use on fabric. They are marketed at car upholstery, furniture and home decor items such as linens and drapery. We've spotted them at local craft stores a few times but never picked them up. Sure spray painting your old furniture (or new Craigslist finds) might make them feel fresh and we are all for giving things new life, but it just feels well... odd.
Click through to weigh in with your thoughts...
First off, we can't weigh in on the performance of the new products we've been spying on. But having been using aerosol paints for years for an array of different projects, it just doesn't seem that spraying something that will absorb the paint in an unpredictable manner is a good idea. Not even that it's a bad idea, just seems like the money spent on the product would be better spent on fabric to slip cover the piece. Especially at $10+ a can! So we ask you:

Boy, I sure hope this is a possibility--I can't find anyone to upholster my armchair/ottoman...this would be much, much easier.
It's hard for me to wrap my mind about because I just keep thinking it would come off on clothes when sitting in it. But obviously if it's on the market, it must have been tested for that.
It'd be great for redesigning the home to just change the color of that chair instead of reupholstering or buying new furniture. Or if there was a bad stain, it could be saved by repainting it.
It's a strange concept for fabric furniture, but if it works, I'd be all for it.
And I say it would be great for changing the color of furniture because I absolutely hate fabric slipcovers. I think they're tacky and unsightly. But then again, so are stained clothes from sitting in painted chairs. :)
I could just imagine a guest sitting on that chair and having the color rub off on their clothing - No, Thanks.
I would have to read the instructions very carefully. If there were no chances for drips, I think I would probably do it. Actually, I have a velveteen chair I have been wanting to redo, and this might be the perfect solution!
I guess it makes sense.... you can dye garments, so why not put the dye in an aerosol can and spray it? Fabric is fabric, after all. I agree with s2k that I'd be concerned about it rubbing off onto clothing, and would hope the manufacturers took that into consideration.
For those of us who don't love slipcovers, or who are dealing with a piece of furniture that would lose its charm if slipcovered, this could be a fun option. And just imagine the psychedelic possibilities with more than one color spray per chair!
I haven't tried upholstery, but I did spray paint a shirt once. It was only slightly crunchy for about 10 minutes, then it softened up. It wasn't very durable though, most of the color came out after a couple washes, so I'd worry about it coming off of the upholstery and onto your clothes. :S
^^^ and hey... I've been wondering about quick and easy options for customizing remnant carpets into something more interesting, more graphic; I love the great patterns I see in rugs on AT, but they are so completely out of my budget. Wonder if this spray might be the answer to my prayers! Thoughts, anyone?
I spray painted an old prom dress red once for a halloween costume (jessica rabbit) and it came out great! Since then i've been thinking about painting other things so this looks really cool.
If it also puts torn bits back together I'm all for it LOL.
But my major concern would be for my pets (cats) that love to chew fabric. My male loves cotton for some reason.
My cat loves wool, Joan52. Chews anything and everything. Yup. Would certainly want to know how pet-friendly this is.
But for something unlikely to get a lot of rubbing against expensive clothing (footstool, throw pillow or maybe ljbmonkey's idea of using it for carpet art), I could see this being a useful way to revive rather than replace.
If it's more like a dye than a paint, I'd try it. Paint would be way too crunchy.
I'm sure this is a product with a lot of fine print... for instance, I can't imagine it working on velveteen like AprilAries hopes it will. It's probably only intended for really flat weaves with little texture- how could it coat a thick velvet or corduroy evenly?
Anyway, I'd love to see a before and after... but I'm not daring enough to try it myself!
I think draperies, upholstered cornices, or perhaps the rug idea above would be great uses for this. I share everyone's concerns about the flaking for things like upholstered furniture though. Not to mention that seems like it wouldn't feel very comfortable to the touch.
and deprive myself of a reason to go to the fabric store????
perish the thought!!!!
Here's the real question: let's assume you get your hands on a fabric paint that looks good and doesn't rub off on other people. How do you get it to smell good?
Please... PLEASE... post a test of this! I would thank my lucky stars if this stuff actually worked! And if it was good enough to cover patterns on fabric? I just might cry.
I bought a Klippan sofa off Craigslist for $25. It was very stained and would not get cleaned. I started doing some research and decided to paint it.
I went to Michael's and bought 3 cans of spray fabric paint (and later realized they weren't upholstery grade). I sprayed 1 can in the back of the couch to try it out anyway; the results were less than desirable. The paint was dripping, and I realized that I would need way, way more than 3 cans of spray paint.
Then I did a little more research and came across an article on HGTV of a woman who had painted her two wingback chairs with regular latex paint (the kind with which you paint your walls). I headed to Lowe's and bought a quart of interior satin latex paint (orange) and bought a couple tubes of textile medium from Wal-Mart since I read that would keep the fabric soft.
I started painting thinking to myself that the couch couldn't get any worse than it already was. I got a brush, mixed the textile medium into the fabric and went to work. I went through the whole quart and ran out of paint, so I bought a gallon this time and didn't bother to buy textile medium.
The couch required two coats of long even strokes to keep the sheen even throughout the cushions. I applied the two coats (without sanding in between) and when I was done I used 220 grit sandpaper to get the burrs out VERY CAREFULLY just to achieve a smooth finish. I dusted the couch off and used a tack cloth to pick up any loose debris and finished off going through the entire surface with a damp cloth to pick up any remaining dust.
The couch now looks like vinyl, and I could not be happier. I've sat on it many times and the paint does not come off on my clothes. I'm going to put it in my office when I'm done painting it. Here are a few pictures (forgive the quality; I couldn't find my camera, so I used my cell phone).
i'm with farmhouse, wouldn't the paint get hard and crunchy? though like s2k said, if it's on the market, they probably tested for that. i'd give it a shot. i have this old couch im gonna get rid of soon, maybe i'll pick some of this stuff up to play with on one of the cushions.
wow...mariob_1998, the couch looks great! Was the couch white before? Nice job...i never would've thought that would work.
I'd be hesitant to cover an entire piece of furniture (mostly because I have a hard time keeping regular spray paint even), but it would be pretty cool for stencils on fabric. Just one bold graphic on the back of a chair would be pretty cool . . .
GOD YES! I'm sooo sick of my tan ultra-suede couch. Need to go to gray.
Wary Meyes does this sort of thing all the time, applying amazing custom patterns to chairs with INCREDIBLE results. here's a few of their best:
This one explains how they did it: http://warymeyers.com/Resources/salvage1.jpg
I am so looking forward to finding a flea market chair & painting something amazing on it.
Sorry, that's Wary Meyers.
I've seen this done on home improvement shows..with little success.
I just finished doing what mariob did, and I'm thrilled! I have a gorgeous pair of antique French clubchairs with intricate white, carved wooden frames, with upholstery recovered in an ugly (and stained and slightly damaged) peachy fabric. I painted the fabric charcoal grey, using regular acrylic house paint in semigloss (three coats with a foam brush, VERY carefully with a tiny art brush along the edges of the wood), and then topped with a coat of paste wax. They look and feel like distressed leather or waxed canvas now, and I love them! Like mariob, I thought I had nothing to lose. They were horrible before, and I can always recover. But I love the result.
Wow, that couch looks great - very sexy.
Wary Meyers is the one with the brilliant radiator painting, no?
I hate slip covers too.
Joan52 and ThatGrrl, your cats don't happen to be part/full Siamese do they? Cotton and wool eating/sucking are very characteristic of Siamese cats, as is pica in general and being jerks.
Hey folks. I've spoken to some reps for SimplySpray, a company that makes non-toxic upholstery spray paint. They assure me that it stays soft and pliable if you apply it correctly. They even sent me some samples. I'm working on a project to post as a tutorial to see if it really works. If it's hard, crackly and rubs off, I'll definitely let you know. They also said it really works well on lampshades. What a miracle if it really looks and feels good on upholstery. Could it really be true?
Don't knock what you haven't tried based on lack of knowledge. Welcome to the 21st century. Textile paints are not like the paint you bought at Home Depot.
ModHomeEcTeacher- We can't wait to hear how you like it! You're a tough judge to win approval from!
There's a before and after pic of spraypainted benches with details at http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2009/03/spray-painting-upholstered-furniture.html
I did this! With regular spraypaint and an old chair that I didn't care about too much. It went from light yellow to purple just fine. The color was a little darker and less vibrant than the usual paint color, and it turned the worn parts of the chair a little scratchy by coating the fuzzy fibers in paint, but other than that, success! The fabric I used it on was a smooth, almost shiny fabric, I would not try this on a softer fabric because I imagine it would soak up a lot of paint, and you would end up with a scratchyness issue. I would also use a matte paint instead of the gloss that I used, I'm not sure, but I think it would cover a little easier. I had a small amount of flaking at first, but never any real issues with the paint coming off on anything.
I painted the seats in my husbands Mazda mini truck. We also own a Ford Harley Davidson f150 truck that is just blacked w/ leather interior and is just REALLY nice. So when we decided to get a commuter, it was hard for him to go from such a beautiful truck to this grey interior economy thingy. In the middle of November in Seattle, and I decided to make his truck a "mini-me" of his Harley truck and replaced the gray carpets w/ black, new wheels to match the harley truck, painted all the interior plastic and pleather, and even painted fabric seats black. I know quite a lot about the interior of a car now, it's pretty funny. LOL Anyhow, I used that Simply Spray fabric paint and it went on really well. The smell isn't bad at all and it doesn't make the fabric stiff like spray paint might. Really super cool stuff.
I have a whole box left and have been searching for something else to use it on. I've been lucky enough to have bought exactly the furniture I wanted w/in the last few years. But if I were still decorating with upholstered thrift store finds, I wouldn't hesitate at all to use it on a sofa or any chair. It doesn't come off on fabric at all.
here's a link to the stuff.
about 6 yrs ago i received a hand-me-down love seat that was really awful. the fabric was dingy/ugly, but i couldn't afford anything new.
i figured that painting it couldn't make it worse, so....
like mariob, i just used latex house paint -- no medium, though. foam brush. i was too chicken to try it on the softer parts of the couch, so i only painted the frame. also like mariob's -- the result was vinyl-like.
for the 'slipcovers', i used the cheapest white fabric i could find. i didn't know how to sew, so i got one of those as-seen-on-tv handheld sewing machines. i left the slipcovers open at the backs of the cushions (like pillowcases) so that i could take them on and off for washing.
for such a novice (at both painting and sewing) i was very pleased with the result. the photo is not so great -- i just snapped it with my camera phone as it was on its way out to the curb. i posted it as a free item on the san diego craigslist.
if the new owner happens to read this....contact me! my name is the same on myspace. i'd love to know if you cherish my little DIY as much as i did!
It's nice to think that I could actually paint my preferred graphics onto the upholstery.
Depends on the final results though. Would the upholstery smell like paint afterwards? Would it rub off to those that come in contact with it? Would it make the fabric rough?
ooooh, i was just thinking 15 minutes ago. shit. i hate my chair, but i cant afford to get it fixed. and here is the answer! yay!
I'm not sure this would work real well for heavy use (kids jumping on the cushions, for example) or for fabrics with a lot of texture. Latex and acrylic paints usually give a leather/vinyl type surface, so that would have to be a look you could live with and that would work with the furniture.
But as long as the paint was PERFECTLY dry, it shouldn't transfer. If heavily applied, that could take days, though, so be sure it's really dry before testing!
I haven't heard of any special dye that could be used on velvets or other textured fabrics, but if you worked outdoors with a spray bottle of a dark dye that would cover the existing color, taped off the wood and metal bits, and prayed heartily, MAYBE regular tie-dye from a craft store would work!!!
spray paint is not at all the same as fabric paint...I've used this paint on a small vanity chair i had in my daughter's room.
she sits on it every day and it doesn't rub off. it feels really soft and when i painted it, it didn't smell like regular spray paint....
When I used the Simply Spray there was no smell at all even when spraying. It does stay soft and does not come off on clothing. I couldn't find the upholstery version in stores but did find it online www.fabricspraypaint.com. I called them and they told me that the regular version is for clothing and not upholstery. You have to read the and follow the directions. It does take a little getting used to spraying.
Mariob_1998 - that orange sofa is gorgeous!!!! In not using the textile medium, is the sofa fabric stiff or did it stay soft?
hi there, i am a newbie on the site.
i am working as a retailer agent for the SIMPLY SPRAY paint in the uk(it is very new to our country). I have used hundreds of these cans in my workshop and rate it 100%. I am a textile designer and have tested many other fabric paints over the last 20 years, including car spray paint!!
It really does do what it says! go for it, spray your old furniture and bring a bit of colour into your apartment! We have lots of students purchasing this in the uk at the moment as they are all moving into student accomodation with granny's old sofa etc. A great way to upcyle!!
I started painting my 2 extra large club chairs yesterday, i m only using acrylic paint , I m looking for ideas on what to paint on them , i m just starting with white as a base , then may be a huge flower ? or black leaves ?
I ll post a picture when i m done :)
Have you ever tried to removed dried on latex paint from any fabric be it precious or a rag? Doesn't happen so I'm sure that house paint would be safe but I would be concerned about any dyes because you have to rinse died fabrics in a water vat and till they rinse clean. I would truly be concerned about spills and anything damp picking up the die and making blotches as well as getting on any fabric in contact with the damp areas.What about using an eggshell finish? Not as shiny....any fabric painted would be more like a canvas when dried. Worth trying to me .......
Check out how I painted a wing back chair.
I used latex and acrylic, but you may be able to just use acrylic. See the tutorial.

Age really is simply a number for some people. Ninety nine year old Ed Gizynski is remarkable. Three times a week, for the past 40 years, Ed works out at the Two Rivers YMCA in Moline. Exercise allows him to use his muscles.
Making his way from machine to machine, Ed cannot remember a time when exercise was not an important part of his life. He played tennis and golf, twice a week, for twenty five to thirty years. Swimming was also a big part of his exercise regiment.
He has made many friends during his frequent workouts at the Y. Rita Amundsen first met him a few years ago. She says his commitment to keeping fit is an inspiration.
Rita, along with Vicki Welveart and Peggy Stoner have developed a friendship through exercise. The three women make it a point to give Ed hugs when they see him at the Y. They say it's his attitude and dedication which keep him, and them, young at heart. The women also presented him with a cake for his ninety ninth birthday.
Despite hip replacement surgery, you can't keep a good man down! Energetic Ed Gizynski weighs about one hundred fifty pounds. It has been that way for most of his adult life. He will celebrate his one hundredth birthday in September. Energetic Ed. A fitness phenom!

Help a stranded cyclist, they might be a rock star.
Emily Kraus and her boyfriend Joe Proffitt were driving down a back road near Hersey, Pennsylvania to a Dave Mathews Band concert, when they swerved past a rider with a flat tire. Joe quickly recognized the cyclist as "Dave."
Emily was unconvinced. Thousands were waiting to hear Dave Mathews perform that night, why would he be on the side of the road? But after a few seconds the couple turned around to help the rider.
Sure enough, walking on the side of the road was the multi-platinum recording artist and Emily's favorite singer Dave Mathews. Turns out, the musician decided to take a quick ride before his show, but punctured and was without his cellphone.
Mathews thanked the couple for the lift by inviting them to dinner, giving them front-row seats and signing their tickets. Mathews gave Kraus a shout out during his show, weaving his experience in the opening of the song "Granny."

Maybe those online dating algorithms deserve more credit than we usually give them? It seems virtual matchmaker OkCupid really knew what it was doing when it made this connection! You won't believe the following love story, which reads like a real-life fairy tale and could easily transfer to the big screen. Let me explain:
Piper Goodeve, 35, and Garbriel Vaughan, 36, started off as teenage pen pals in 1994 at the urging of friends who knew they shared many common interests.
After four years and one in-person meeting, the letters stopped and the pair went in different directions -- or so they thought.
Bummer dating news for some of us: OKCupid has been experimenting on you. A couple of their tests were pretty harmless. There was one where they threw out a profile featuring a sexy photo of a bikini babe and no description at all. Her fake profile quickly became among the most popular because duh: Hot, scantily clad chick. But another experiment they did completely defeats the whole point of online dating -- and could make you lose faith in it altogether.
Or it could just confirm what you've long suspected about online dating.
Regardless, this is going to seriously peeve a lot of single women out there.
Nothing brings me back to junior year of high school quite like the melodic warbles of rap metal musician Fred Durst singing about doing it all for the nookie. Seriously, I hear Limp Bizkit, and I'm transformed into a 16-year-old badass who can sing every word to "Nookie" while cruising with my brand new driver's license and the windows down.
In other words, I don't exactly equate Fred Durst with romance, or the search to find lasting love. This is the guy that wrote a song about staying in an emotionally destructive relationship because the sex was decent, after all.
Get ready to have your mind blown, because the 43-year-old musician just directed an eHarmony commercial.
One time I went on a date with someone who claimed on his online profile that he was 5'11", but upon meeting, it was pretty clear he was a good two inches shy of that. Eh, it wasn't the end of the world, and it didn't make or break the date, but it was a good example of the embellishments people sometimes make on their online dating profiles.
A 22-year-old Indian man got an even bigger shock when he met up with his virtual girlfriend of three years. Upon discovering that his 21-year-old girlfriend was actually a middle-aged mom of three, he allegedly shot and killed her for the lie, then attempted to commit suicide. He later died in the hospital.
Do you ever think of all the random ways people come in and out of your life? Some of the people we're most strongly bonded to are there simply because of the right circumstances, and there's just something terribly fragile about that. This is especially true when it comes to falling in love. The same guy who catches your eye one day could fly right past you another day. I've been in a relationship with the sweetest, most thoughtful, hottest, most who-raised-you-to-be-so-fantastic man ever for the past 8 months or so and I'm ridiculously happy -- but it almost didn't happen for us.
Ah, dating. Can't I just skip this whole dating thing and settle in with a nice, normal boyfriend who thinks I'm pretty and enjoys my cooking? No? I have to go through the rigmarole of getting to know guys on awkward first dates and deciding to move on or, worse (!), dealing with the unrequited crush when I'm not his cup of tequila? No? Damn.
Occassionally, a date makes a confession on a first date that crosses him off my list almost immediately. Like the time this one guy admitted that he liked to smoke pot. A lot. To each their own, I guess, but I'm pretty sure I don't want a pot-head boyfriend.
It's a tale as old as time ... girl meets boy, girl falls in love at first sight, girl forgets to get his contact info or even his last name, girl uses Twitter to track down her "future husband." Wait, what? OK, maybe love stories have been around for as long as humans have existed, but this whole technological side to romance is pretty new.
Emily Domesek was on a flight from Dallas to Calgary when she met Clauco, a dashing stranger in a blue sweater who was "born in Torino & lives in soho." The DIY lifestyle guru (she runs the site P.S. - I Made This) couldn't stop thinking about Clauco after the flight, but had no way to contact him. So she tweeted to American Airlines (and her nearly 55,000 followers) with the hope that they could help track him down.
Dating is hard. Online dating is even harder. But it's an increasingly common and less socially-weird-than-it-used-to-be way of meeting potential mates. I've done my fair share of it. I've tried OKCupid, eHarmony, and Match to name but a few of the cyber romantic walkways I have stumbled down. I haven't found love yet (call me, Michael Keaton). And while I might every so often shut down every single account and vow never to do it again, I always come back for more.
Because the odds are a whole lot more likely that I'll meet a dude online than I will in real life. I work with mostly ladies, and while they are awesome, I am not attracted to ladies. When work is through, I go to the gym or usually I go home. So unless I plan on the potential disaster of hitting on someone at the gym or on the subway (where I feel like I'd just immediately be arrested for harassment), I've got to keep an open mind where online dating is concerned.
To say that the dating world has changed in the last dozen or so years since I've been in it is an understatement. Back in the day (in the year 2001), the majority of people would look at you askance if you mentioned that you were going on a date with someone you met on the Internet.
Nowadays, conversations between singles go something like this …
"I have a date tonight!""Where'd you meet him?""Match -- of course."
Researchers have found the key to a woman's heart. It's not the promise of flowers, jewelry, or even romantic date nights. The one thing that makes a man irresistible to us? A pronoun. Apparently men who use the word "whom" when they speak are more desirable. According to a statistical study published in Wired magazine, these guys get 31 percent more contacts from women through their online dating profiles.
But I have to question if that really makes a man more click-worthy? The ladies here at The Stir are certainly skeptical. Here are the words and phrases we think will actually get a woman excited to connect with a guy.

I absolutely loved the flavor of this dish. I loved the fact that it was made in the crockpot too. My zucchini did not look like the picture after 8 hours. I would suggest cutting it in much larger pieces so it doesn't break down as much. It still tasted great though. I served this with garlic/cheese bread.
Provençal Beef Stew
kaykaypee Posted: 03/03/09
mamafalzone Posted: 03/16/09
I used a venison shoulder roast (husband is a big hunter), which is a rather tough cut. The meat came out fork-tender and my husband loved the gravy. However, he didn't like the zucchini in the stew. I will definitely make this again, but will substitute potatoes, as some other reviewers suggested. I also cooked this for about 3 1/2 hours on high.
JasonM Posted: 05/11/09
This stew had some very old-world charm about it -- both in taste and in texture. The beef was very moist and tender while the vegetables maintained their shape and individual taste (thanks to leaving them on top during the cooking time rather than stirring them in at the beginning). Instead of using only thyme, I used an Herbes de Provence blend that I had on hand. I also used a not-so-dry syrah instead of a drier red wine. I think that made it even more exciting. We served with some very simple corn muffins. Excellent late Spring dinner.
nyca5124 Posted: 02/24/09
We thought this was good, and I will definitely make this again, as my hubby loved it. I added peeled potatoes to the slow cooker with the vegetables, and will add a little more red wine. My husband thought it tasted like a nice pot roast. I used lean pre-cut stew beef, and it came out very tender. Served with mashed potatoes. Good, solid recipe.
jltarantola Posted: 03/04/09
This was super easy to prepare and quite tasty! A good red wine-y flavor. I was surprised at how tender the meat ended up, while the veggies maintained their shape. I cut them in pretty large pieces, and would recommend doing the same. I did miss the potatoes, however, and would add them next time as another reviewer suggested.
tejaksw Posted: 03/31/09
This worked well in the slow cooker, but it was an ordinary dish and not at all exciting or very flavorful. I won't make this again
skspillman Posted: 12/29/09
This was only my second attempt at a beef stew, and this one is delicious. I made a few changes: I used a bit more than a pound and a half of boneless chuck roast (about 1.8 lbs.). I used a 28-oz. can of tomatoes. Instead of using salt and pepper on the beef, I used a beef seasoning blend. I didn't have thyme sprigs on hand so I used 2 teaspoons of dried thyme. I was worried at first that that would be too much, but it tasted delicious! I also added about a pound and a half of quartered red skinned potatoes. I used a full can of reduced-sodium, fat-free beef broth (about 2 cups), and I used a 1/2-cup of red wine. Also instead of chopping carrots I used whole baby carrots. Left the slow-cooker on while I was at work (a little over 8 hours) and the stew was ready and delicious when I got home. Served with crusty French bread. I will make this again.
seattlekh Posted: 10/06/09
Really liked this dish!I prepared the meat and onion mixture the night before along with chopped the veggies so in the morning I had less to do before heading out the door. I kept the veggies extra big based upon reader feedback and they turned out great. Also added 3 baby red potatoes chopped, but in a little more red wine, and added the whole can of beef broth because I was cooking it a little longer than 8 hrs due to my schedule that day! This is healthy and yummy. Served with yummy corn bread! Having left overs tonight.
ddemarco Posted: 04/07/09
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. I made minor adjustments to the recipe: cut the zucchini slightly larger and I chose to remove the thyme leaves from the sprigs, leaving the leaves in the stew. The zucchini held up nicely. I opened a bottle ofTucscano wine to cook with and we enjoyed a glass with the stew. A perfect match. I also served this with a garden salad and brussell sprouts. Excellant comfort food and house guest worthy. Thanks CL!
fish8ing Posted: 02/25/09
We prepared this together and stuck to the recipe. My husband usually ad libs but not on this one. The chuck roast was a little fatty and I trimmed it well, other than that we stayed with the recipe. It was great - four generous servings, 6 might be a stretch. The BEST slow cooker dinner we've done. Very flavorful! Just as good two nights later. A 10.
foxegurl266 Posted: 09/01/10
Made quite a bit of food. Meat was very tender. Maybe add some noodles next time?
Amy31773 Posted: 08/14/11
SCRUMPTIOUS ! I so impressed myself with this one ! egg noddles are gross, so I ate it as a stew. Double the wine and beef broth and thickened with soup grade flour. 5 hours in the slow cooker and VIOLA! Will def make again !
Monique1672 Posted: 09/21/11
I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. The meat was very tender and the flavor was awesome!
NickeNick Posted: 10/30/11
Loved it, great combination of sweet and savory
SandyPTA Posted: 01/09/12
Good warm meal. Sop it with cornbread and you've got a filling meal. Flavorful, inexpensive and easy to make.
DianeKC Posted: 11/25/11
I used lean stew meat and added baby new potatoes and used baby carrots. I skipped the zucchini, but otherwise followed the recipe. We just finished the leftovers (from the freezer) and it was still great after the time in the freezer. I will definitely make again.
pearlpita Posted: 12/22/11
Got around to making this over the weekend. I substituted venison "roast" for the beef and Provencal Mourverde (a blush) for the red wine. I had not read the reviews but I did chop the veggies in large chunks and they held up well. Served some of the leftovers with brown rice. Will try again since is easy & tasty.
Dominique90 Posted: 08/19/12
Does anyone have a suggestion for something I can replace the zucchini with? I really do not enjoy the taste but I'm afraid if I leave it out the stew will lack body.
eqqusole Posted: 10/02/12
Made this recipe a few times, but with a few changes: 1.) used a small, diced up Idaho potato instead of carrots and zucchini 2.) used vegetable broth instead of beef 3.) sprinkled salt and pepper into the flour before dredging the beef in it. Also, I used tomatoes out of my garden instead of out of a can. Smells sooooo good while cooking.

Elizabeth Emken lives on a leafy cul-de-sac in Danville with her husband of 26 years, their two daughters, their English springer spaniel, and their son, Alex.
"What's your birthday?" Alex asked. I gave him the date. He thought for an instant and put it into context that has meaning to him: " 'Mickey Mouse Club, Circus Day.' 'Up a Tree.' 'Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.' "
They're all Walt Disney productions, vintage 1955, the year I was born. Done with me, he asked two other visitors for the dates of their birth. "Old Yeller," he said of one. "Sign of Zorro," he said of the other.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month announced that 1 in 88 children have autism spectrum disorder, up from previous estimates of 1 in 110 two years earlier, and 1 in 150 in 2000.
Like the condition itself, the reasons for the rise are a mystery. Some of it may be attributable to better diagnosis and awareness. But much of the increase is real, and so is this: Alex Emken and tens of thousands like him will need a lifetime of care.
He is why Elizabeth Emken has embarked on a quixotic campaign to unseat U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Many of Emken's positions come from the Republican playbook, and that places her at odds with other parents who similarly are enmeshed in the issue. On this point, they agree: "We're not addressing autism as the public health emergency it is."
At 19, Alex looks like a strapping high school kid, and in some ways acts like one. He bulled his way into the kitchen, grabbed snack food that includes a spray-on cheeselike substance, and plopped into a chair at the kitchen table to start his homework, which on this day was a page of percentages.
"He's good at math," his mom said.
Autism experts and Emken counts herself as one, having been "face deep" in the issue for 15 years believe causes of autism will turn out to be a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors.
Whatever those factors are, and however many there are, they ought to be identified and eliminated, Emken said. In addition to the impact on families, there is the issue of money, estimated at $3.2 million over the lifetime of a child with autism.
"It is incredibly important that we find the causes," Emken said.
Emken is one of 14 Republican Senate candidates on the June ballot, plus nine minor party and Democratic wannabes, all hoping to emerge from the top-two primary for the right to challenge, and lose to, Feinstein, who at 78 is in her 20th year in the Senate.
Two years ago, Republicans nominated millionaire Carly Fiorina to take on Sen. Barbara Boxer. Although she was Silicon Valley celebrity CEO, Fiorina was a spectacular failure as candidate and offered a cautionary tale to Republicans who might have thought about challenging Feinstein in 2012. Lacking big-name candidates, the California Republican Party endorsed Emken, not that she'll win.
"No name ID. No money. Bad equation," Feinstein's longtime strategist, Bill Carrick, said.
Emken, 49, takes many of the standard conservative stands. She opposes abortion and same-sex marriage, and she signed the no-tax pledge. But her work on behalf of autism has made her suspect in the eyes of some Republicans.
When Alex was diagnosed 15 years ago, she quit her job at IBM, became an activist, and ultimately got hired by the leading autism advocacy organization, Autism Speaks. She established Autism Speaks' governmental affairs office in Washington, registered as a lobbyist and worked on Capitol Hill to shape aspects of the Affordable Care Act that applies to autism.
Along the way, she concluded she could do a better job than her representative, Democratic Rep. Jerry McNerney, and ran for his seat in 2010. It didn't turn out well. She ran last among four Republicans in the primary.
Then, as now, her opponents note, she was a lobbyist in Washington who worked on Obamacare. That three-fer may not be the mark of the beast, but it is a red flag to Republicans.
"Nothing personal against Elizabeth Emken but she's a lobbyist!" one of her Republican rivals blogged. "Her background and recent work experience involves going to the federal government in Washington, D.C., and extracting taxpayer money for her special interest cause."
At campaign stops, Emken goes out of her way to denounce Obamacare and call for its repeal even though former Autism Speaks colleagues want it implemented.
If the U.S. Supreme Court were to strike down the Affordable Care Act, or if Republicans take control of Washington and repeal it, people with autism would be among the losers.
Peter H. Bell, executive vice president of Autism Speaks, noted that the act provides important benefits, not the least of which is that children can stay on their parents' health plans until they turn 26, and cannot be denied coverage because of their pre-existing condition.
Autism Speaks successfully lobbied to insert language in the final bill requiring that newly created state health care exchanges cover behavioral health treatment, a reference to a type of therapy called assisted behavioral analysis. Alex benefits from the therapy.
"That is a very important provision for us," Bell said. "If the act gets repealed, the provision is no longer there. Fewer families would be able to access those benefits."
In California, state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg last year carried a bill requiring that private health insurance companies provide assisted behavioral analysis beginning in July. That measure assumes that in 2014, the feds will start providing subsidies for the treatment.
"Funding is at the core of our services and program needs for our children," said Rick Rollens, the former secretary of the Senate who lobbies on autism-related issues in Sacramento and became immersed in the issue after his son was diagnosed 20 years ago. "We'd be back to square one" if the Affordable Care Act unravels.
It's not at all clear that Emken can win the Republican primary. Candidate Orly Taitz, the birther who has challenged President Barack Obama's citizenship, led in one early poll. Voters wouldn't nominate her. Would they?
One evening last week, Emken attended a Tea Party Patriots' forum in El Dorado Hills. Two-thirds of the 200-plus folding chairs were empty, and only four of the 14 GOP Senate candidates showed up.
One candidate criticized Emken for having lobbied on Obamacare. Another candidate, Dan Hughes, elicited the most applause when he called for the abolition of the Commerce, Energy, Education, and Housing departments, plus the National Labor Relations Board, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Reserve.
Emken talked about the national debt, jobs, problems with the health care law, and Alex.

Dude, Mark Pellegrino's favorite book is "Atlas Shrugged." He just jumped many places up on my list of favorite SPN castmembers.
Evidently he talked to fans about literature and philosophy for four hours, late into the night. And my friend thinks she heard Speight refer to Obama as "cockroach" lol. Because Pellegrino said "Obama" and then Speight interjected "Cockroach" XD They were talking about the government as a parasite. I wish I had fucking known when I talked to them on the phone!
So now I have until Vegas con to finally read Atlas Shrugged.
(Of course, this is her listening to a conversation late at night and she might have heard some details wrong)
This makes me happy.
I loved them both in the show, great actors.
I respect them even more now to be honest. They have brains.

SPOKANE -- Matt Bouldin, playing at McCarthey Athletic Center for the last time, scored 15 points and Gonzaga closed its regular season Tuesday night with a 78-59 pounding of overmatched Cal State Bakersfield.
Bol Kong scored 13 points and Robert Sacre added ten points for the Bulldogs (25-5).
Bouldin was one of three seniors to say goodbye to the Kennel on Tuesday. Will Foster and walk-on Chris Pontarolo-Maag also played in front of the home fans for the last time. Foster finished with six points and five rebounds, while Pontarolo-Maag, who made the first start of his career, scored two points.
This was the final game for Cal State Bakersfield (7-22), which is in its transition to full Division I status next season. It fell to 0-5 against WCC teams this season.
Trent Blakley led Bakersfield with 19 points, while Donavan Bragg added 13.

What does Wal-Mart's food drive say about America?
Companies and investors have never had it better. Average Americans, meanwhile, have rarely had it worse.
This situation says everything about what's wrong with the U.S. economy right now.
Wal-Mart is one of the richest companies in the world. Wal-Mart has a market value of $260 billion and made $17 billion in profit last year.
But Wal-Mart does not pay its employees enough to buy food for the holidays.
America's corporations and investors have never had it better. The stock market is setting new highs, and corporate profits and profit margins are higher than they have ever been. Average Americans, meanwhile, have rarely had it worse. Wages as a percent of the economy are at an all-time low, and fewer people are working as a percent of the population than at any time in the past 30 years.
In addition to violating just about every conceivable ideal of community fairness and decency, this state of affairs is hurting the economy. Average Americans account for most of the spending in the country. And thanks to the refusal of rich companies like Wal-Mart to share more of their wealth with the people who create it, average Americans are broke.
When people are broke, they can't buy things. When people can't buy things, companies can't grow. And when companies can't grow, they cut costs (fire more people). And, in so doing, they make more people broke.
In the past 30 years, American business has become ever-more obsessed with "shareholder value," a concept that unfortunately has come to be defined as short-term profit maximization. And as a result, America's corporations have lost sight of the other kinds of value that great companies can create.
Great companies do not simply "maximize profits," as so many of America's companies are now doing.
Rather, great companies create value for all three of their major constituencies: customers, shareholders, and employees.
It's time companies like Wal-Mart began doing that, instead of "maximizing profits" and treating the people who produce those profits like costs to be minimized.
In a healthy economy at healthy companies, customers should get good products and prices, shareholders should get a good return, and employees should earn a good living. But right now in America, customers are getting good products and prices, shareholders are getting absolutely fantastic returns, and employees are getting screwed.
That's not just greedy and unfair, it's also hurting the economy.
Let's go to the charts. . .
1) Corporate profit margins are at an all-time high. Companies are making more per dollar of sales than they ever have before. (And some people are still saying that companies are suffering from "too much regulation" and "too many taxes." Maybe little companies are, but big ones certainly aren't. What they're suffering from is a myopic obsession with short-term profits at the expense of long-term value creation).

2) Wages as a percent of the economy are at an all-time low. Why are corporate profits so high? One reason is that companies are paying employees less than they ever have as a share of GDP. And that, in turn, is one reason the economy is so weak: Those "wages" represent spending power for consumers. And consumer spending is "revenue" for other companies. So the profit obsession is actually starving the rest of the economy of revenue growth.
3) Fewer Americans are working than at any time in the past three decades. The other reason corporations are so profitable is that they don't employ as many Americans as they used to. As a result, the employment-to-population ratio has collapsed. We're back at 1980s levels now.
That's not what has made America a great country. It's also not what most people think America is supposed to be about.
So we might want to rethink that.
Specifically, we might want the goal of our corporations be to create long-term value for all of their constituencies (customers, employees, and shareholders), not just short-term profit for their shareholders.
I am not a fan of Walmart but people need to realize that this is going on at many, many companies. I worked at a rapidly growing hospital and every year boxes were set up around the hospital to collect nonperishable food for employees who "were having hard times financially." Nothing was said that many of these people were making minimum wages while several in the healthcare system were making six and seven digit salaries.
Not only are the working people being treated worse than second class citizens, but so are our military. Whose wages and benefits are on the line to be cut? Our frontline heroes and families.
Not only do big companies have it backwards, so does our country. The behaviour of our elected officials and big business is so shameful that I cannot imagine how they can go to sleep at night.
Without the hardworking, heroic people on the front lines of business and the military, there would not be million and bilionaires; the market would not be breaking records.More importantly, this country would not be the wonderful place that it is. We would not have a safe place to live and the freedom that we take for granted.
Nothing will improve until those people in high places see that they have things backwards, greed is not the way to happiness.
