Air Pollution Linked to Risk of Diabetes
Oct. 1, 2010 -- New research shows a strong link between diabetes rates and exposure to auto exhaust, industrial smoke, and other types of fine particulate air pollution.
People living in areas where air quality levels were near, but still below, the acceptable safety limits of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had a more than 20% higher diabetes prevalence than people exposed to fewer air pollutants.
The link persisted even after researchers factored in the impact of known diabetes risk factors such as obesity, race, and sedentary lifestyle.
The study does not prove air pollution exposure contributes to diabetes risk, but it is the first large-scale, national study to explore a possible link.
"We know exposure to air pollution is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease," says John Brownstein, PhD, of the Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School. "This is just one more piece of evidence that pollution impacts health."
Air Pollution Levels
Brownstein and colleagues combined county-by-county EPA data on fine particulate air pollution levels with nationwide diabetes figures from the CDC during 2004 and 2005. Obesity rates for specific areas, as well as population density, ethnicity, income, education, and health insurance coverage were measured using data from the CDC and the U.S. Census Bureau.
As expected, a strong relationship was seen between obesity rates in a given area and diabetes prevalence.
But the analysis also showed a strong and consistent association between diabetes rates and air pollution levels.
The study appears in the October issue of Diabetes Care.
"The most disturbing thing was that this was seen even in areas where pollution levels were considered acceptable by the EPA," says study co-researcher Allison B. Goldfine, MD, of Harvard Medical School's Joslin Diabetes Center.
In counties that did not exceed the EPA's limits for fine particulate air pollution, those with the highest pollution levels had a more than 20% increase in diabetes prevalence after taking into account obesity rates and other known risk factors for the disease.
"The findings don't prove air pollution is involved in the diabetes epidemic, but they suggest a role for environmental factors other than those related to what we typically think of as our Western lifestyle," Goldfine tells WebMD.
The 'Agent Orange' Experience
In animal studies, chronic inflammation has been shown to promote insulin resistance, which leads to diabetes. Chemicals in air pollution have been linked to inflammation.
This link may be stronger in obese people, the researchers suggest, because many chemicals accumulate in fat.
"Obesity may play a critical permissive role in priming the body for pollution-induced inflammation and disordered metabolism," they write.
American Diabetes Association Vice President of Medicine and Science Vivian Fonseca, MD, notes that there is precedent for the idea that chemical exposures increase diabetes risk.
Following the Vietnam War, many veterans exposed to the chemical dioxin through the widely used defoliant Agent Orange claimed the exposure caused their diabetes.
In 2000, the Veteran's Administration added type 2 diabetes to the list of "presumptive" diseases associated with the herbicide exposure. The American Diabetes Association characterizes the evidence linking Agent Orange with diabetes as "modest."
"This study is thought provoking, but it is certainly not definitive," Fonseca tells WebMD. "It makes sense that exposure to air pollution might play a role in diabetes, but more research is needed to prove it."
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

Why did you decide to come to FGCU?
I decided to attend FGCU because before choosing a university I emailed professors from different schools to gain insight to help with my decision. By the next morning, every FGCU professor that I emailed had replied with times to meet in person to answer my questions. I didn't even hear from most other schools. On the day of my visit I was able to meet with the Dean of the Whitaker College of Engineering who told me about FGCU's unique research opportunities and the university community. I was convinced that I had found my school before I left his office. Even though the campus has lots of other things to offer, that initial dedication of FGCU professors to help out a prospective student is what shaped my perspective of Florida Gulf Coast University.
What do you most enjoy doing in your spare time?
Whenever I can find the time, I enjoy being active. I like running and hope to complete my first half marathon before I graduate. Kayaking on the FGCU waterfront is a lot of fun and I want to learn how to sail this year.

These Rum & Pineapple cocktails were probably one of the strongest drinks we consumed during our trip! After a night out on the town, we decided to get one more drink in the lobby of the Sheraton New Orleans and couldn't even finish them! We normally drink 3-4-1's in 32oz cups but the bartender decided three shots of rum wouldn't hurt us. When I woke up the next morning, both cocktails were still sitting on the counter. I guess we had enough alcohol for one day!
Happy New Year everybody!!
I know it's late but you know how the holidays are…busy.busy.busy!!
This New Year's we enjoyed Café du Monde coffee with Bailey's Irish Cream and Kahlua, mini sausages, bacon-wrapped pineapples, meatballs, Mudslide shots and a shot I concocted called the 'Dimetapp' shot: equal parts cranberry juice, grape juice and Malibu pineapple rum! Delish! Tasted just like cough medicine when we were kids…
Drinks at Mellow Mushroom! Knocked off two beers for the Beer Club, Woodchuck Cider Amber and Sam Adams Winter lager :)
DIY Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte :) So creamy and delicious! I added some twigs and leaves for a mood setting Fall appeal ;)

Yule rang in with bells of devastation.
I gazed in iced over puddles and silhouettes cast in the fog for days on end
in a maddened search for my face or my eyes,
but even those were lost in the wreckage.
I choked back tears for hours on end before shattering in the shower.
Medicated with sex and flirtation.
Threw "I love you" in other directions without a spark of adoration.
Self-destructed one letter at a time.
And now the flame is rekindled by the very same angel.
The one with the torch in his hand that illuminates and burns simultaneously.
I fear for my very soul because I just can't fortell
Whether he will damn me or redeem me.
So I relapse.
Dive head first into the same dizzying downfall
because I would rather be his "baby" for a day
than never hear those words again.

but seriously though. is it possible for Spock Prime to have a happy ending in nutrek.
(I can't write 10k worth of fic that has an unhappy ending I cannot I cannot)
Yes, if you get nu!Spock out of the picture in a way that is satisfying (though I don't like Uhura used just as a plot device). There's also the possibility of an AU where Jim and nu!Spock don't know one another. I've also seen SP married happily to someone who isn't Jim. Also, import Jim Prime. (Assuming you're talking Jim/Spock Prime. If you aren't, then just options 3 & 4.)
I have three happy ending Spock Prime fics planned for this spring:
- Spock Prime BB (which is a cracky take on a cracky TAS ep), de-ages a dying Spock Prime, and all ends well (eventually).
- Jim the construction worker for a certain someone's birthday, because I cheated her out of the happy ending for Victorians. Oops.
- fixitstory, which brings Kirk Prime into AOS. Can you say deus ex machina? I can.
I want #3 SOOOOO MUCH!
It'll be published in March, but if you like the idea of Kirk Prime in the AOS universe and want something now, I highly recommend Start Infinity Again by Rynne! (Which you might have already read.)

Authentic Danish Kringle Recipe
- Non Cognomina Dec 5, 2007 10:23 AM
I am on the search again for an authentic Danish Kringle recipe. I used to work for a family from Denmark and they had the most delicious Kringle for Christmas. There is a bakery in Seattle (Larssen's) that makes a great one, but I'd really like to make my own. I'm looking for a recipe that a 'hound has used, not a link to an untried recipe. This is my Christmas wish! TIA for any help!
Your post intrigued me, so I went on a quest for Dutch Kringle recipes. Lo and behold, what did I find, but one recipe that I remember making close to 30 years ago. The recipient wanted to know where the bakery was, so that he could get more. I cannot find the exact recipe that I used, but the one that I found was close enough. What I DID find is that there are several different interpretations of Danish Kringle. Some use some sort of a pie crust, most use a yeast dough, and the one I favour, uses the yeast dough, but prepares the dough as one would to make flaky pastry, with layers of butter.
They also seem to have different fillings, from raisin and cardamom, and other spices, to simple pie filling, to an almond paste filling, which is the one that I prefer.
If you don't find anyone with a tried and true recipe, I'd be happy to direct you to that site where I found the recipe.
re: violabratsche
Yes, AnnieG, there are many "interpretations" of Danish Kringle that I've found on the internet. The "authentic" Danish version that I remember is made from a laminated yeast dough ("danish" dough), with a filling made with almond paste, golden raisins, and other good stuff, shaped into a large pretzel shape, and topped with sliced almonds before baking. The laminated dough recipe and filling recipe are what I'm hoping to find. Surely someone has a Danish grandmother with a good recipe out there, feel free to post a link to the recipe you found. It has been so long since I've made one that I am willing to play in the kitchen with several recipes until I find one that I really like. I'll post results if anyone is interested.
Tak! (which is "Thanks" in Danish)
re: Non Cognomina
Here's one that I liked the look of...
re: violabratsche
Thanks for the link. This looks very close to what I remember. I'll play around with it this weekend and let you know how it goes. Thanks!
re: violabratsche
Yes! That's real kringle! My father's grandparents were from Denmark and they taught him how to make it. I haven't made it my self since we've been able to buy kringle made by a Dane & it is a lot of work. What they make in Racine is a travesty. Some even use margarine! Kringle is never oval, it's a pretzel!
re: violabratsche
I noticed that none of the recipes given were as you described. I believe this is what you are looking for.
2 cups sifted flour
1 1/2 Tbl. sugar
1or 2 tsp. cardamom
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter
1 egg, separated
1/2 cup milk, scalded
1/4 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
1 pkg. active dry yeast
Prepare filling before making dough.
In a large bowl, mix milk, egg yolk, yeast , sugar, cardamom and salt. Mix in 1 cup flour until no longer lumpy. Work in another 1/2 cup flour. Put other 1/2 cup flour on table top and rolling pin. USE NO OTHER FLOUR!
Turn dough onto table top and sprinkle with some of this remaining flour. Slice some pats of butter and place on top of dough. Fold dough over butter and roll in. Add more butter in same way. Keep folding and rolling it in a little at a time until all butter is used.
Divide dough in half. Roll until dough is elastic and desired size (about 6 x 18). Beat egg white until frothy. Spread 3 inch center strip with half of beaten egg white, then with filling.
Fold dough over with 1 inch lap. Place on greased cookie sheet with folded side down in a horseshoe shape. Do the same with the other half of dough. Place opposite the first piece so it forms an oval. Pinch the ends of dough together. Let rise until double in bulk.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Spread with sugar icing while hot. Yields about 14 servings.
Filling: 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed, 1 cup finely chopped apples and 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans. Sprinkle sugar, then apples and nuts. For icing, mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon milk and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla together until ingredients are of spreading consistency.
Note: Filling is also good with raisins, apricots or dates. Cinnamon may also be added.
My Danish MIL gave me the cookbook Scandinavian Coking by Beatrice Ojakangas. It is great. She made us the kringle recipe from it and it is awesome. If you don't want to get the book, I could also post my MIL's family recipe. If you are at all into Scandinavian cooking in general I'd recommend it. Lots of good recipes.
re: Procrastibaker
If you are willing to post your MIL's family recipe, I would appreciate it! Thanks!
re: Non Cognomina
Finally, here it is:
2 c. sifted AP flour
1/2 t. salt
1 T sugar
1c. butter, room temp
1 pkg yeast
1/4 c. warm water
1/4 c. cold milk
1 egg, beaten
sift flour with salt and sugar. blend in butter, add yeast softened in the warm water. add milk to the beaten egg. add to flour mix and stir with fork to dampen the flour. cover and refrigerate overnight. prepare filling before shaping kringle.divide dough into 2 parts,keep one in fridgewhile preparing the other. roll dough to an 18x16 rectangle. spread 3" lengthwise center strip with filling of your choice. fold over one side of dough then the other to cover filling completely. place on baking sheet in pretzel shape. cover an dlet rise 1 hr. or until dough is no long cold and dent remains when touched. bake at 325 for 25 min.
My MIL often does a fruit filling-- usually raspberry actually from a can.
re: Procrastibaker
Ojakangas is a great cook but her Danish recipes are off. Proof is that her kringle does not involve layering the butter. Plus no recipe for klejner! What Dane ever heard of Christmas without klejner!?
There's a good recipe here:
The recipe is from O&H Bakery in Racine, WI. I've tasted the O&H Bakery's famous Kringle (my sister works in Racine and sends them to me) and they are excellent.
Wow, I have to make a Danish dish for my daughters class and i chose to make a kringle. I recieved the recipe from my great grandmothers 100 year old cookbook from the danish church in Nebraska. The recipe is identical to the one at whatscookingamerica.net/Bread/Kringle.htm, the recipe i recieved is doubled. Im beging to make it this evening. I hope it turns out for the heritage lunheon at her school.
re: asherlmt
Hope your Kringle turns out nicely. I checked out the link--funny story about Lars Larsen. I'm guessing the use of pecans or walnuts in the recipe is due to their availability in Wisconsin, but am pretty sure almonds are more traditional for Denmark. Interesting that the oval shape is an American adaptation. I'll have to try making it that way. Thanks!
I've been looking for a Kringle recipe as well, for our family's Christmas Eve desert buffet. My problem is opposite: I am finding mostly yeast-based recipes. My mother made a lovely short-dough Kringle, but that recipe is lost in the mists of time. The ripe did not use raisins; just almond paste and sliced almonds, then lightly iced. Does anyone have a reipe to share for something similar?
re: cayjohan
We have a Kringle every year for Christmas, but we call it a Swedish Kringle. I thought maybe it was actually a Danish Kringle with its name changed to reflect our Swedish background, but I guess they actually are slightly different! The one my mom makes has a pastry crust with an almond filling and an almond icing--no raisins or chopped nuts. I don't have access to my mom's actual recipe at the moment, but if you do a search for "Swedish Kringle" online, quite a few come up.
re: sarahvagaca
Thank you so - never thought of switching the nationality. Will give it a try!
re: cayjohan
Here are two that I came across recently, in my search for the flaky yeast kringle, the other day. These are more to what you described.
re: sarahvagaca
I was interested to make this recipe for a Swedish kringle, and was in touch with a Swedish food blogger. She told me that this recipe does not exist in Sweden, and is apparently an invention of Swedish American immigrants. Possibly as an answer to the rival Danish kringle. Interesting bit of kringle trivia.
re: cayjohan
A short pastry version my Danish MIL makes:
1 c. flour
1 stick butter, softened
2 T cold water
combine and spread into a 3"x12" oblong on an ungreased baking sheet
1 c. hot h2o
1 stick butter
1 c. flour
3 eggs
1 T almond extract
melt butter in boiling water; add flour and mix well. add eggs one at a time beating well after each. add almond extract. spread over oblong. bake at 425 for 40-50 min. or until golden then ice with the following while hot
1 c. 10x sugar
2 T soft butter
1/2 t. vanilla
addmilk until spreading consistency. spread on hot pastry.
re: Procrastibaker
This is the recipe my mom uses, too. The only difference is that she uses almond extract in the icing instead of vanilla. We have it every year on Christmas and it is delicious!!!
re: Procrastibaker
My mom's recipe., exactly, except use almond extract in the frosting.
re: Procrastibaker
I just made this recipe for my Norwegian-American mother for Christmas, however it was off a Norwegian website and is also called Kringle. She says that her mother used to get a "kringle" from a Danish bakery and it was different. In looking at all the recipes on this site, I think there is much similarity between them, except in using yeast and fruit, otherwise. I shaped mine into a figure eight, because it seemed easier and looked as attractive. I also sprinkled sliced almonds on top of glaze. It was delicious! Not to sweet.
etymology search, inspired by cayjohan:
From Wikipedia:
"Kringle is a pastry developed in Scandinavia.
In Danish and Norwegian the word is kringle, plural kringler; Swedish: kringla, plural kringlor; Icelandic: kringla, plural kringlur; Finnish: rinkeli. The word origins from Old Norse kringla, meaning ring or circle.
In Scandinavia kringle denotes the pretzel-like knotted shape rather than the pastry type. Kringles may be made from puff paste (like Danish pastry) or yeast dough, filled with remonce or marzipan and raisins, sprinkled with coarse sugar, nut flakes or iced. Small saltkringler also exist, being the Danish word for pretzels. Kommenskringler are half-hand-sized breads in kringle shape, made from unsweetened yeast dough with caraway seeds. Sukkerkringler are similar, but sprinkled with sugar instead of caraway. Kringles are still popular items in modern Danish bakeries. The kringle symbol is one of the few ancient guild signs still being used and a golden kringle sign is often hung outside bakeries."
The recipe for the basic dough appears right below but since my mom passed away so did her recipe! I too am on the hunt so that I can make this ..... her recipe had a marzipan type paste on the inside ( middle if you do it in thirds) with almonds then sprinkled with regular sugar and sliced almonds and drizzled with icing sugar on the top ! The part I can't find is the marzipan filling or remonce .... my mom trained as a Danish Chef but never let her secrets pass her lips after she started baking here for "company" in Canada so I am left with no Danish Pastry just memories....... any help would be greatly appreciated emails to firstname.lastname@example.com if you don't wish to join here .... Thanks everyone hopefully we can get a Danish faborites memories cookbook put together with our own resources .... Kirsten
re: Bunky390
It is easy to make marzipan by grinding almonds in a processor and adding sugar.
I recently ran across the Allsweet margarine Danish Pastry Booklet from the 1950s posted at http://cookingwithdenay.com/a-dying-art/
This is an heirloom recipe created to introduce home makers to margarine. I still make it with butter, because butter rocks!
re: cookingwithdenay
my mom had the pastry booklet but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the net ... used your link .... but could not find the recipes..... any chance you can send me the recipes ? I figure my brother's wife threw it out ..... grrrr ..... daughter getting married and surely could use it .... thanks
Several Christmases later: Cook's Country magazine had what looked to be a very good recipe for kringle in their December issue. Meant to try it but didn't have time. (Now, if it had been a Smorkage recipe, I would have made time for it.)
Danish Kringle
My mother grew up in Racine, WI and after marrying my Dad, they rented a flat above a Danish baker. Don't know if you found your perfect recipe yet - see thread is several years old. Here is the recipe he gave her - and it is delicious. I still make some every Christmas.
Danish Kringle (makes 2)
1 cake yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 1/2 T sugar
1/2 cup scalded milk, cooled
2 egg yolks, beaten slightly
1/2 cup lard or shortening
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
Dissolve yeast in warm water, add sugar. Add cooled milk and eggs and mix, Cut in lard or butter. Add in flour and salt. Knead dough to nice consistency. Let raise in bowl until doubled in size. Divide dough in half and roll out into a long rectangular shape approximately 6" wide by 24 to 30 inches long.
Beat egg whites until foamy. With knife, spread foam down center of dough only. (not out to edges). Add filling of choice (pie filling or nut mixture below) down center of dough. Fold edges of dough over the filling mixture, then fold up ends so filling will not seep out.
Carefully lift Kringle and place on cookie sheet in a horseshoe shape. Bake at 375 for 20 to 30 minutes. Glaze while still warm.
Nut filling:
1 cup nuts (pecan or walnut)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
Mix together with hands into a nut paste
Pinch off pieces of paste and place them down center of dough
It's heavenly!
re: ljstrouf
Thank you thank you thank you - will make this this year!!! Grew up around the corner from a Danish bakery, miss their kringle and smorkage to this day.
re: ljstrouf
Thank you fir this. My ex-husband grew up in Racine and introduced me to Kringle and I am hooked.

If you haven't been outside today, opened up your front door, or even looked out your window, I'm going to fill you in on a little secret. It's snowing across Big Sky Country and as we move throughout the rest of the day, this white stuff is going to continue to pile up.
"For the rest of today, Monday as we're talking, what we're going to see is the storm is going to start to wind down across portions of Central Montana. It began last night with some sleet across the area. The roads became pretty icy overnight. A lot of accidents," said Chris Foltz, a National Weather Service Meteorologist.
So the main questions become, where is the most snow falling and how much has accumulated?
"For the most part it's been along the Rocky Mountain Front, west of Great Falls. We've seen anywhere of up to twelve inches of snow in some locations up in the higher terrain. On the plains, in Great Falls, we've had somewhere around three inches of snow so far, a little perhaps. As of 6:00 AM this morning we'd received 2.3 inches of snow and we do expect another inch or two to fall throughout the rest of the day," said Foltz.
As you trudged your way to the car and started brushing and scraping your windshield, you may be wondering if this is a little early for snow.
"About the middle part of November is when we see the first three inch snowfall on average, but some years it's been much earlier than this. Back in the 90's, we had a year where we had nine inches of snow in August here in Great Falls, so it can certainly happen anytime from late August on," said Foltz.
Along with snow, watches and warnings can be issued and the National Weather Service is working to clear up anything that may be a bit fuzzy with the wording.
"There's a lot of confusion, we found out over the years, that folks have with terms like watch, warning and advisory. Which is the worst? Which is the least bad? And so we're really doing some research and we're kind of running some experimental set-ups to where we can get a better understanding about what folks want us to do as far as the wording, if they want you to change it at all. There is an option for a survey. We're going to promote this again on our website, weather.gov/greatfalls, and we'll put a link up there where folks can go and provide their feedback and their input, so the public is more than welcome to and we would like them to," said Foltz.
So stay warm, stay safe and give the weather service a little help.

Wellspring Water is an ongoing project developed by Iona junior Kimberleigh Constanzo. The project collects empty cans and bottles and uses them towards building water wells in Africa. Not having access to freshwater causes many Africans to walk over 10 miles to get clean water or risk drinking unclean water that can lead to illness and disease. To date, Wellspring Water has collected over 65,000 bottles and cans, raising over $3000 to build clean water systems.
As part of Iona College's Make A Difference Week, the Volleyball team helped Kimberleigh collect four large bags of cans and bottles and bring them for redemption. They also participated in a presentation that helped educate the campus on this project and how to get involved. The team plans on continuing to assist Kimberleigh in her mission by placing collection bins in the locker rooms and redeeming them on a weekly basis.

But in comparison to today we were doing fairly well for ourselves, thankyou very much. Whilst as now our country is so broke we are closing libraries, shutting centres for victims of rape and domestic violence and taking benefits away from disabled children. And sadly that sentence contains no hyperbole.
One of the great cultural shifts we saw during the sustained period of economic growth was firstly a rather obscene deification of the wealthy. Bankers stopped being seen as rather boring, bowler-hatted drones doing uninteresting but necessary work. Now, newly liberated by the stock-market deregulation of the 1980s, they had seen their pay spiral and were the new playboy Aristocracy. There were slavish reality TV programmes showing them purchasing incredibly expensive champagne with mini-fireworks attached. The purpose of which was to ensure that when a bottle was ordered it would arrive at the table with red sparks announcing its arrival and drawing maximum attention. And funnily enough these programmes weren't meant to make us hate them, it wasn't a clever far-left piece of programming meant to inspire us into class-based warfare, instead we were meant to like this people. Personally I thought they were fucking horrible and the whole scene made me sick.
The second new cultural wave that emerged was an even more noticeable one which revolved around an obsession with housing. Changing Rooms started in 1996 and asked a nation of people, "hey, give a shit about other people's houses" which may not have worked if the nation they had asked had not been the British. By the 2000's four out of every five programmes on television were property shows, probably. Channel 4 in particular seemed to be going out of its way to help out the housing industry with a constant stream of television programmes dedicated to bricks and mortar. It made stars out of the presenters, on the posh end of the scale we had Kevin McCloud patronising people who were building £2million pound houses out of seaweed, McCloud always looked odd on those shows as the ever increasing gap between his eyebrows and his hairline gave the impression of a man who had built a loft conversion in his own forehead. You could also wonder at Sarah Beaney, who somehow managed to contrive to be pregnant for ten solid years, the only woman in history to have a decade-long third trimester. But the most famous of these were Kirsty and Phil, the hosts of Location, Location, Location They always look a little like the two most middle-class porn stars in history. I watched one episode once where a young female graduate was shown round flats in Manchester and as Kirsty ushered her in, wearing a tight black skirt and high leather boots with Phil following in behind, leering at their nubile concubine I felt a little like I was watching the start of a Moms Teaching Teens Video.
It's one of those things that you have to step back and think about for a second, Britain has celebrity estate agents, we've gone fucking mad.
The housing price bubble was seen as a uniformly good thing. Yet I fail to see how. The biggest losers have been the young and the poor. The average age of a first time buyer in this country is now 35, Tim from The Office is no longer a sad act, but the norm. People sneer at "girls who get pregnant to jump the housing queue" yet never stop to consider how utterly warped our society is that people find such an act necessary for them to ascertain a house. Even for homeowners I fail to see the advantage, yes your house is now more valuable, but so is everyone elses. Your house might be worth a million pounds, but so are similar houses in similar areas, the only way you would benefit is to be the world's wealthiest tramp. Yet people have been taken in by this and act like they are in fact very canny entrepreneurs, exclaiming over the Pinot Grigio, "our house rocketed in value since we bought iy" like they're Warren fucking Buffet.
There have only been two real beneficiaries of this explosion in house prices. Firstly, asylum seekers, because every time the Daily Mail headline is "HOUSE PRICE SHOCK" it's a headline that isn't accusing refugees of spit-roasting Princess Di or something. The second huge winner from our spiralling house prices has been banks. These institutions which are, deservedly, slightly less popular than Nazi paedophile rings or Islamic extremist Morris dancing societies, have become hugely wealthy as a result of higher house prices. It is now impossible, unless you're a tax-dodging Glenn Quagmire-faced comedian, to buy a home without a mortgage. This means that most of the population will, at some point, have to go into masses of debt that they will spend the rest of their lives paying off, we were told we were building a property owning democracy, in fact it is now the banks who own both our property and our democracy. This idea of keeping individuals in debt is also the way the student loan market works in the USA, and the way it is heading over here. It is a process called financialisation and in many ways it has more in common with feudalism than capitalism. To an extent this is deliberate policy, indebted individuals do not go on strike and as long as you are required to go into debt to purchase a house and an education – two of the ultimate tickets into the middle-classes – then the banks will continue to have us by the bollocks.
Even Channel 4 is beginning to doubt the brilliance of basing our entire economy around housing, broadcasting a series of shows highlighting the inherent problems in such a situation. Turning on Channel 4 and seeing programmes attacking the housing market was a bit like watching a feminist critique of the exploitation and objectification of women in the porn industry on SlutLoad.

sorry for the bad webcam quality but I'm too excited to use my SLR haha
It's so weird to finally have in my hands the shoe I've been designing patterns on for months. I put them on straight away and ran down stairs to show dad. His response;
Dad: What are they?
Me: The shoes you bought me for my 18th!
Dad: Oh
Me: Aren't they the most amazing things you've ever seen?
Dad: Well..no.
Me: They're the shoes I base my designs off?
Dad: Oh thought they looked familiar. Now help me take the washing down.
First thing I did in my fantastic new Litas? took the washing down. True story bro.
I haven't taken them off yet, they're really comfortable and surprisingly easy to walk in. I didn't expect them to be this easy actually so all you people worried about breaking their ankles do not fear!
okay I'm going to go back to looking at them. I'll be putting more designs of the Night Walker's up soon :)

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
Sean Riley, Contributing writer Mike Napoli went from having a big multi-year contract with the Red Sox to quickly not knowing if or what team he would end up on. A pre-hire physical if you will, lead Napoli to be diagnosed with avascular necrosis in both hips. That big multi-million dollar deal quickly vanished and Napoli signed a one year 5 million dollar deal with Boston. For a guy who got below average money due to his potential durability, Big Napi hasn't missed one of Boston's 38 games this season. Napoli is among the league leaders in several batting categories including RBI's and extra base hits. He also has a stellar slugging percentage at .537 and a .864 OPS, on base percentage+ slugging. Besides Clay Buchholz, Napoli has been the most valuable player for Boston so far this season. As good as his numbers are now I think they could greatly improve by where he bats in their lineup. Not that I forsee a change coming in the batting order, but since day one I ha...

My Mum Chris was in the mood for another small project so she decided to attack her lazy Susan. No, she didn't attack a woman called Susan who happened to be vegging out on her couch eating a bag of chips. That would just be mean. The lazy Susan I am referring to is one of those round thingies that spin around on your dining table that you put your salt and pepper shakers and the like on. Or you can put it on the floor and sit on it for a bit of a laugh. Whatever. Alls I know is that if I sat on it you wouldn't see the lazy Susan :(
Anyway, her inspiration for the design came from - wait for it - her mouse pad! When she showed me I told her that it would be a fabulous idea.
This is the mouse pad:
Mosaic version:
Gorgeous right? The only problem I have with this is that the photos don't do these things justice. Because the tiles are glass, the photos don't quite capture the true colours, which is a real shame. The stems of the flower are like a deep purple, kind of like amethyst.
I have nicknamed it Sooz the Stunner.
I also want to give another shout-out to Roadkill Rescue for again featuring me. My blue side table was the star this time. I you haven't checked out their website, you're missing out!

Staying at Marriott Del Mar
- Sushi Otaku Mar 24, 2009 01:48 PM
I'll be staying here for a week for business but no car to drive around. Any recommendations within walking distance?
re: The Office Goat
See, now this is why I love this website!!
It's a bit of a walk (maybe about a mile), but the weather is supposed to be gorgeous this week. There's a tiny Italian restaurant on Carmel Valley Road called Trattoria Ponte Vecchio. We love it there. http://www.pontevecchiodelmar.com/home/ .
Unless you're desperate you should avoid Pat & Oscars (a local chain) and Tio Leo's, which are temptingly close to the hotel.
Arterra is great with a lively patio and happy hour.
Also Ruth Chris' is just up the road. It'd be a 15 walk or a 2 minute cab ride.
If you want more casual/cheap, Souplantation, Nico's Taco Shop and Subway are about a 5 min walk down the street. There's a Thai place in the same shopping plaza, Spices Thai Cafe. It's ok, not great Thai and too Americanized for me, but it's another decent option.
o/w, Arterra is the closest and best. Ruth Chris' is next closest.
Arterra is your best bet at the hotel and don't know if they have a courtesy shuttle service but you can head into Del Mar and go to the new Kitchen 1540 at L'Auberge Hotel..you can hit up the Roberto's Taco shop down the road on Carmel Valley..
I like Tio Leo's and I think they still have a happy hour.
Take a cab to Market which is excellent.
I don't want to rain on your parade, but Arterra was a big hit when it first opened with a noted chef a few years ago -- recent reviews are much more mixed. The place got savaged for its Valentine's dinner, though that Saturday night was indeed the alltime amateur hour and not a good test.
My favorites in the area are all a very short cab ride away, though I'm sure a lot of your cohorts at your meeting will have rental cars, all on Via de la Valle which is the exit from the 5 freeway next to the Del Mar racetrack and fairgrounds. The best place for food is Market, which is about a mile inland (very close to the famous Chino Farms) -- they offer a four-course price-fixe menu with a few choices for each dish. A great experience. Pamplemousse is a very nice, a bit darker and more formal, and indeed perhaps more expensive experience, just to the coast side off the freeway. Next to it is Red Tracton's, a wonderful oldtime steakhouse with servers who have been there for decades, great prime rib along with steaks and chops, and a really fun bar in the front that is amazing people-watching during racing season. I vastly prefer it to Ruth's Chris or other local renditions of national chains. Finally, Kitchen 1540 at the revamped L'Auberge is definitely happening, with a gorgeous new restaurant and a striking outdoor patio with fatastic lighting and cabanas -- a sparkling bar scene later in the evening -- unfortunately the dinner we had didn't measure up to the decor and service.
re: nosh
Recent reviews by whom, nosh? Can you give a reference so that those of us who admire Arterra can speak to specific issues? If the bad experience was just a matter of lousy service on a busy Valentine's Day, then I don't know why it's worth bringing up, except to warn people: Don't go there then!
I've been to Arterra more than a dozen times over the last few years and have loved almost everything but the noise that rises if you get too close to the open bar at one end. The tasting menu is superb, and service has always been excellent. As I understand it, Bradley Ogden is no longer deeply involved in the place, but it still reflects the philosophy of artfully prepared, fresh -- much of the produce is from Chino Farm, a few miles away and one of America's best farmstands -- and delicious food that he's been known for since he put Campton Place in San Francisco on the national map more than a quarter-century ago.
Perhaps we just have different tastes. I've been to Pamplemousse a couple of times and found their klutzy take on "high-end" food both boring and too expensive. And Red Tracton's has a menu similar to Bully's (a branch of which is a short cab ride into Del Mar) but is not nearly as good, in my opinion. (Neither one is great -- I'm just comparing.)
On the other hand, I've heard good things about Market and look forward to stopping by sometime -- if I can tear myself away from Arterra! :-)
Edit: I seem to recall a similar discussion with someone (you?) in the past, but I can't find the thread.
re: sbritchky
If you liked Arterra in it's original incarnation w/ Carl Shroeder, then you'll like Market. Time to tear yourself away from Arterra and head up to Market!
re: daantaat
How would you compare the two, daantaat? Similar emphasis on fresh produce and local products?
re: sbritchky
This thread references another which gave feedback about Arterra on and around Valentine's Day this year: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/596370
re: nosh
Over the years, I've had no such experiences with either the food or the service at Arterra and agree with the person who said, "Your story is exactly why we have stopped going out to dinner on Valentines night and New Year's Eve (especially when they fall on Fri or Sat nights)."
I haven't been in a few months, so I'll stop by again soon and report my findings here.

Brrrr!!!! I can tell you straight up it is fuh-fuh-reezing here in New York City right now. Bone cold. The chill goes straight through your gloves, your winter coat, your boots, everything. But this doesn't faze little fashionista Suri Cruise in the slightest. The 6-year-old was out and about yesterday wearing what looked like a spring dress. Of course, we know Suri is a girly-girl through and through and wouldn't be caught dead in thermals. But there she is, prancing about the city in a purple dress that looks like it wouldn't keep out even the slightest of breezes, a wide open faux-fur coat, no hat -- and, gulp, NO TIGHTS. (As you can see from this photo, where Suri at least had a coat on, she is a fan of NO TIGHTS.)
That's right, little Suri's bare legs were out there for the biting 20-degree temps to gnaw on. She also sported a little pair of white ankle socks and pink slippers. She made me cold just looking at her.
We already know Suri is a spoiled willful child. Remember that time she had an epic tantrum because her mom wouldn't buy her a puppy? And that other time she had an epic tantrum? And that other time? So I can only imagine what mom Katie Holmes goes through in the morning when she's trying to get Suri to dress weather-appropriate.
"Suri, how about these nice flowered snow pants?"
"Hells to the no!"
"But it's cold out there."
"You hear me, lady? I ain't going out there looking like some frubby Eskimo."
Right? Katie has already opened up about her daughter's reluctance to dress for the weather, saying:
Recently, Suri and I were taking a walk and a fight got started because it was cold outside and she didn't want to wear her coat.
My philosophy is, well, fine, because after a block of walking, you're going to ask me for your coat. So the pictures of her [without a coat in cold weather] are sort of embarrassing, but I said, "Suri, I'll take the hit. Just put it on when you get cold."
I think this is the right approach. Why get into a huge ruckus and get the kid in a terrible mood if she doesn't want to wear what you want her to wear? Unfortunately, this leaves you carrying around a spare outfit. Suri might be one of those people who naturally runs warm -- I see them all of the time. There I am, blubbering from the cold, eyes stinging with tears, teeth clanging, and I'll see some girl happily prancing about in a miniskirt, or some guy lazing in summer shorts.
In the olden days, we thought the cold could actually cause a cold. But now we know it's viral and has nothing to do with the temps. Still, it's anxiety-producing to see a kid with frozen fingers and goose-pimply legs -- even if she's fine with it.
Do you fight with your kids about what to wear?
Image via Splash News
My kids hate to be all bundled up. It seems as if most of the kids I've known do. I think kids just have a higher tolerance for cold than grownups. At any rate, if they get cold, they'll ask for a coat. The only time I put my foot down about bundling up is if there is a wind.
I would probably put some tights in my purse for just in case. But hey I think this is a fine lesson to teach. Some kids need to learn the hard way and this is a safe one to give on.
We are Americans living in England. The kids at the school my children attend wear coats to school with tank tops underneath. I am freezing and they are under dressed.
My step kid HATES wearing pants and doesn't care to bundle up and we live in the north. She has 2 options, either dress for winter or we aren't going anywhere. It took almost a whole winter and lots of screaming and crying to get her to smarten up.
Kids also hate eating their vegetables but that's why they have parents to tell them what is the best for them.

The School of Engineering and Applied Science offers several courses that have interdisciplinary content integrating engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities and are of broad interest to students from across the University. These courses typically have no prerequisites. They are listed in the Course Offerings under engineering and bear the label EGR. Currently the following courses are in this category:
Ethics and Technology: Engineering in the Real World
Jay B. Benziger and Bruce E. Koel
This course examines engineering as a profession and the responsibilities of that profession to society. Professional responsibilities of engineers are compared to those of lawyers, doctors, scientists and businessmen. Ethical theories are introduced as frameworks to guide decisions of technology implementation. Simple quantitative decision making concepts, including risk-benefit analysis, are introduced as a method for engineers to make ethically optimal choices.
Engineering in the Modern World
Michael G. Littman
Lectures and readings focus on bridges, railroads, power plants, steamboats, telegraph, highways, automobiles, aircraft, computers, and the microchip. The laboratory centers on technical analysis that is the foundation for design of these major innovations. The experiments are modeled after those carried out by the innovators themselves, whose ideas are explored in the light of the social environment within which they worked.
Computers in Our World
Brian W. Kernighan
Computers are all around us. How does this affect the world we live in? This course is a broad introduction to computing technology for humanities and social sciences students. Topics will be drawn from current issues and events, and will include discussion of how computers work; what programming is and why it is hard; how the Internet and the Web work; security and privacy.
Introduction to Entrepreneurship
John D. Danner, Christopher B. Kuenne, Derek B. Lidow
The mission of this class is to give students a sense of the impact of entrepreneurship on the social and economic fabric of all cultures, while also defining the challenges all entrepreneurs must overcome in order to be successful. This class will adopt a point of view of the Princeton entrepreneur that pays particular attention to the opportunities and challenges faced by entrepreneurs who attend Princeton. The class will contain modules on the following topics, among others: Value Creation, Finding and Creating Markets, Business Models, Financials and Financing, and Leadership.
Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS)
Jay Benziger, Michael Littman
In the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program, students earn academic credit for their participation in multidisciplinary design teams that solve technology-based problems for local not-for-profit organizations. The teams are: multidisciplinary--drawing students from across engineering and around the university; vertically-integrated--maintaining a mix of freshmen through seniors each semester; and long-term--each student may participate in a project for up to six semesters. The continuity, technical depth, and disciplinary breadth of these teams enable delivery of projects of significant benefit to the community.
High-Tech Entrepreneurship
Christopher B. Kuenne
ENROLLMENT BY APPLICATION at bit.ly/ELE491App
This hands-on course introduces students to analysis and actions required to launch and commercialize a tech company, through the use of Harvard Business School cases, visits from entrepreneurs, and two "field assignments". You will learn conceptual frameworks and analytical techniques for evaluating technologies, markets, and commercialization strategies. Additionally, you will learn how to attract and motivate the resources needed to start a company (e.g. people, corporate partners and venture capital), prepare business plans, structure relationships, refine product-market fit, and create and grow enterprise value.
Radical Innovation in Global Markets
James J. Shinn
Radical innovation solves big problems and alters the way we live, colliding with government polices as the effects ripple across national frontiers. Where do these innovations come from, how do they work, and what policy problems do they cause? This class examines the impact of technical innovation on a global scale. Students learn how innovations in areas such as satellite imaging, global positioning, internet search engines, and pandemic vaccines have a profound impact on foreign policy. Students learn to think about innovation from the standpoint of business managers, government regulators, social entrepreneurs, in very practical terms.
Leadership Development for Business
Dennis F. Strigl
The Leadership Development for Business course deals with the strategic, organizational and leadership challenges that global corporations face. The course provides students with a unique perspective on leadership vision, and how leaders recognize and capitalize on opportunities. We will focus on how leaders achieve results and make things happen working with and through others. This course presents innovative, practical and field tested methods used by successful business leaders to achieve sustained results. Classes will consist of a mix of classroom lecture, case study discussions and guest speakers.
Special Topics in Entrepreneurship - Building and Financing Technical Ventures
Shahram Hejazi
With the initial perspective of what it takes to attract funding, the course will then provide the experience of an early-stage entrepreneur seeking initial investment, covering in detail topics such as: opportunity assessment, intellectual property review, proof of concept development, technology de-risking plan, regulatory issues, market validation and team building. The course will then provide guidelines to help students identify financing needs, develop a funding strategy and build a pitch deck for potential investors.
Entrepreneurial Leadership
Derek B. Lidow
The mission of the class is to enable students to successfully create and lead enterprises by teaching the basic skills required to be a successful entrepreneurial leader. This class compliments EGR 491 "High Tech Entrepreneurship" which focuses on 'giving birth to a company', by focusing instead on enterprise 'early child rearing'. The basic skills taught fall into three major categories: how to create and manage powerful relationships, how to know and manage yourself, in addition to understanding how organizations work as they evolve from the idea stage to become value producing, self-sustaining enterprises.
Energy Solutions for the Next Century
Jay B. Benziger
This course will deal with issues of regional and global energy demands, sources, carriers, storage, current and future technologies and costs for energy conversion, and their impact on climate and the environment. Students will learn to perform objective cost-efficiency and environmental impact analyses from source to end-user on both fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas), and alternative energy sources (bio-fuels, solar energy, wind, batteries, and nuclear). We will also pay particular attention to energy sources, technologies, emissions, and regulations for transportation. The course will also include tours to energy research labs.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A state appeals court refused Thursday to throw out a conviction against a Sauk County dairy farmer for selling unpasteurized raw milk.
In a case that drew national headlines, Vernon Hershberger of Loganville tried convincing a jury that he didn't have to follow state rules regarding his milk -- because his hundreds of buyers were in a private club that did not sell raw milk to the general public.
State agriculture inspectors placed a holding order on his product, ordering him not to sell it.
Hershberger was charged after doing so, and he was convicted of violating a holding order. He was fined $1,000, and the Fourth District Appeals Court uphold the conviction Thursday.
The state Justice Department praised the ruling, saying the appeal was not a referendum on the safety of raw milk -- but rather, it involved the way Hershberger got around the state's holding order.
The defendant's lawyer has not commented.
Supporters of raw milk say it's healthier and tastier than pasteurized milk. Opponents said the product could lead to foodborne illnesses, and ruin Wisconsin's world wide reputation as a dairy leader.

UO Shoots:
Aid Kit
Hair & Makeup by Regina Törnwal
Interview by Ally Mullen
Shot by Viktor Gårdsäter
Klara and Johanna Söderberg are the Swedish sister duo from the dreamy folk band First Aid Kit. Wearing some of our favorite spring looks, we sent them on a trip to the great indoors.
Hi girls! We just heard that your new album, The Lion's Roar, is the top selling album in Sweden?
Johanna: Yes! It was just released. It's awesome. It's totally unexpected. The genre of folk / country is not what usually tops the charts so it's very surprising to us. We're very thankful that so many people have found our music. It's great and exciting.
Where did you get the name for the album?
Johanna: Well, "The Lion's Roar" was the first song that we wrote for the record and we felt like it was a new chapter in our song writing. It changed the way we write songs, it was just a different kind of feeling. We felt that it had a big part of the record. The Lion's Roar is a very strong imagery in your head; it could mean several different things to people. It could be a warning or some kind of force in you. I think it's about expressing some kind of very deep emotion, and that's what we tried to do on this album.
Klara: I agree!
What are some words that describe the album?
Johanna: Oh gosh, that's hard! Dreamy, harmony, guitar, keyboard, drum, bass! (Laughs) The things we were trying to go for were dreamy, ethereal, mystical...
Klara: But still personal.
Johanna: A bittersweet, '60s/'70s vibe.
Aside from the artists named in your song "Emmylou," what else would we find on your iPods?
Johanna: The Roches. They're three sisters who sing harmonies beautifully.
Klara: The album we're listening to is from '79.
Johanna: It's self-titled and that's one of our favorite albums right now. Also Leonard Cohen's new album, we've been listening to that a lot.

Former Amazon CFO dies in cycling crash
Joy Covey, who helped take the retailer public, was 50.
By Laurence Arnold, Bloomberg
Joy Covey, who helped take Amazon.com (AMZN) public as the Internet retailer's chief financial officer, has died. She was 50.
She died Wednesday after colliding with a minivan while riding her bicycle downhill on Skyline Blvd. near Portola Valley, Calif., according to Art Montiel, a public information officer at the California Highway Patrol in Redwood City. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The San Mateo County Coroner's Office confirmed her identity.
"Except on an occasional basis when it is critical for me to deal with Wall Street, she makes it possible for me to spend a lot more of my time on the customer experience," Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos said of Covey, according to the article. "Her job is not only in the CFO capacity but somewhat broader and deeper in communicating our message to investors, which is so important to our future."
Amazon went public on May 14, 1997, with an initial offering price of $18. Shares are now worth about $318.
In 1999, Fortune magazine named Covey on a list of the 50 most powerful women. "As CFO, her feat was convincing Wall Street that a profitless company was worth $22 billion," the magazine wrote.
In a 2002 interview with the Harvard Law Bulletin, Covey recalled of her Amazon years, "Our view was that most companies depart from their best long-term business thinking in order to please Wall Street. And they often do things that are not in the best long-term interest of the business because they're under pressure from investors for short-term results."
Joy Dianne Covey was born on April 25, 1963, in Boston, the second daughter for Maurice C. Covey, a physician, and the former Joan De Vries, according to an obituary of her father, who died in 2011. She grew up in San Mateo, Calif.
She didn't finish high school, moving away from home at 15 and working as a grocery clerk in Fresno, according to the Harvard interview.
She graduated in 1982 from California State University in Fresno and began her career as an accountant at Arthur Young LLP, working for clients including Denny's restaurants, according to the Journal. She graduated from Harvard Law School's joint J.D.-MBA program in 1989.
After a stint at the investment firm Wasserstein Perella & Co., she landed in 1991 as CFO of Digidesign Inc. in Menlo Park, Calif., a digital audio software maker, guiding its IPO and 1995 sale to Avid Technology Inc., according to a profile of her in Forbes magazine. She moved to Boston to work for Avid but soon was back in Silicon Valley. When she started working at Amazon, she won permission to stay in California and commute to company headquarters in Seattle.
When she joined Amazon, it had 150 employees and $16 million in sales. As of December, the company had 88,400 employees and $61 billion in revenue.
She took a salary of less than $100,000 in favor of stock options that, as of 1999, gave her a net worth exceeding $200 million, according to Forbes magazine.
Covey moved from CFO to chief strategy officer in April 1999 and left Amazon in April 2000. She was named to JetBlue Airways Corp.'s board of directors in 2003.
More recently she was a trustee at the Natural Resources Defense Council, which called her "an active environmentalist" who "loves adventure, travel and outdoors activities, including kite surfing, skiing the steeps, and cycling." A pilot, she transported a Mexican gray wolf from a sanctuary outside St. Louis to the woods of the U.S. Southwest and also helped rescue an orphaned grizzly cub from Alaska, according to the NRDC.
Her son Tyler is among her survivors.

She left home at fifteen? I have a feeling there is an interesting back story in this statement. But she went to college, got into Harward, and accomplished a great deal in her life.
I live in a town with a lot of cyclists. I am always left to wonder at the confidence with which they ride along the shoulder of narrow lanes, evidently completely confident that the drivers coming up behind them at forty plus m.p.h. are going to avoid them. I just don't trust the drivers enough to turn my back on them. I'll stick to the bike trails off road, thank you very much.
I am left with the words my father told me when I was learning to drive. "Having the right of way does not mean you will survive the collision."
