More Fantasy Foods Made Real
Last year Lisa wrote about imaginary foods from movies, books and television shows that initially existed purely to tantalize the imagination. As luck would have it, some of those imaginary foods were turned into products you could actually purchase. With incredible edibles such as everlasting gobstoppers and Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, it's amazing how these culinary flights of fancy have been translated into the real deal—and we're pleased to note that even more have sprung up.
Cheesy Poofs: The animated comedy "South Park" has been on the air since 1997, and most people with a cursory knowledge of the show will know that foul-mouthed eighth-grader Eric Cartman has a penchant for Cheesy Poofs. (His love goes so far as lead him to enter a jingle-writing competition. And of course he wins.) Various puffed corn snacks rolled in atomic-orange cheese flavoring have long been known in the real world as Cheetos, cheese curls, cheese puffs and by an assortment of other names. But bona-fide Cheesy Poofs have never graced grocery store shelves until this summer, when Comedy Central joined forces with Frito-Lay to produce a limited edition run of the snack that will be on sale at Wal-Mart until "South Park" resumes its 15th season this October.
Stay Puft Marshmallows: The animated series "The Real Ghostbusters" was the cornerstone of my Saturday mornings (well, at least after "Pee Wee's Playhouse" went off the air) and I definitely recall more than one occasion on which I tried recreating the Stay Puft marshmallow man—the smiling, bulbous monster in a sailor hat that terrorizes New York—with toothpicks and whatever campfire-size marshmallows were handy. It was only a matter of time before someone in a marketing department had the bright idea to entice people like me to buy back a bit of their childhood. Not that I'm complaining—the Stay Puft packaging is pretty spectacular with its bold, minimalist graphics and marshmallow-textured box. It might be a while before I fork over 20 bucks for gourmet marshmallows infused with caffeine (sweet liquor of life though it is), but I can't say I'm not tempted.
Scooby Snacks: Scooby Doo is a scaredy-cat great dane who can muster the courage to thwart evil-doers only when he indulges in specially-crafed doggie treats that induce a temporary state of euphoria. In 2002, Del Monte, which manufactures Snausages and other nibbles for your pets, created Scooby Snacks for your four-legged friends. They come in an assortment of fun shapes, from bacon-flavored Mystery Machines to chicken-flavored dog tags. A people food version of the treat—little more than vanilla wafers in packaging emblazoned with the TV show's characters—was also temporarily on the market. (However, if you ever find yourself in Glasgow, Scooby Snacks refers to a decadent hamburger served from late-night food trucks. There is also a Scooby Snack mixed drink.)
Soylent Green: In the sci-fi film of the same name set in the not-so-distant 2022, humans subsist on processed wafers called Soylent Green. In the marketing, this food gets its high energy properties from oh-so-tasty plankton. But as it turns out, (spoiler alert!) Soylent Green is people. (Take this as a subtle reminder to read nutritional information labels.) The last time we covered this topic here in the blog, this product was lumped in the "so glad it doesn't exist" category, but soylent green crackers have since hit the market—strictly as a gag gift meant to inspire conversation.

On the Addams Family TV show Morticia made some strange food such as: marinated gizzard of lizard, and tongue of yak.
Both of these belong in the imagination…I'm not even sure if these animals have these organs. {One more thing to look up! :) } -
Some woofle jelly cake, perhaps a slice
Hoped for by Tiny Tim in
Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol -
I did a little research and it turns out that some people do eat both lizards and yaks. I was wrong…this food does not fall in the imaginary realm for some people.
But, you won't catch me eating either one. -
Me and my wife would like to see:
Pumpkin Pasties (savory and sweet) [Harry Potter]
Pumpkin Juice [Harry Potter]
Butterbeer [Harry Potter]
Deeper 'n Ever Pie [Redwall]
Otter 'ot Root Soup [Redwall]
October Ale [Redwall] -
How about Sponge Bob's Krabby Patties?
What about gagh, pipius claw, Rokeg blood pie, Bloodwine and all the other foods seen in Star Trek over the years? The ones above are all Klingon, and had screen time. Incidentally, gagh (pronounced like Bach, only with a G) is Klingon serpent worms and is best eaten alive.
Here in Portland, Oregon, a local chain of McMenamin's restaurants serve "scooby snacks" – Mini fried corndogs. They're quite tasty!
I'd like to taste that delicious brightly colored imaginary cake in the movie Hook starred by Robin Williams.
I wish that the chocolate shop in Chocolat really existed. Those Guatemalan cocoa nibs…!

Silly hippies; They should be outside the White House, Congress and the other centres of national government - the ones who connived in this whole mess and allowed it to happen.
The concept of hippies is so 70s and inaccurate based on the variety of people seen attending.
More on a true grassroots movement....
Occupy Boston protesters ask Bernanke to visit
Dr. Cornel West honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by going to jailBOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Occupy Boston protesters are hoping to have a visitor of their own.
The Boston Herald is reporting they're going to be calling on the chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank to make a visit to Dewey Square.
Ben Bernanke will be at the Federal Reserve's offices across from the camp Tuesday.
Protesters have previously spoken out against the Fed, but they say there will be no confrontation. They're hoping to have an open dialogue with Bernanke.
"We will not allow this day of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial to go without somebody going to jail." After speaking those words on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court, Princeton University professor Dr. Cornel West was arrested.
Philosopher Cornel West (C) stops to talk to demonstrators from the Occupy Wall Street campaign in Zucotti Park near the financial district of New York September 29, 2011. (LUCAS JACKSON - REUTERS)
The Supreme Court was a fitting venue for this demonstration both to honor Dr. King and demonstrate solidarity with the #OWS (Occupy Wall Street) movement. As Dr. West, author of Race Matters, Democracy Matters and a new memoir, Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud, said prior to being arrested, there is "a relation between corporate greed and what goes on too often in Supreme Court decisions."
In Democracy Matters, West makes this point in far greater detail "(The) illicit marriage of corporate and political elites-so blatant and flagrant in our time-not only undermines the trust of informed citizens in those who rule over them. It also promotes the pervasive sleepwalking of the populace, who see that the false prophets are handsomely rewarded with money, status, and access to more power." (p. 4)
Here's the point: If you are content to think that corporations are people and money is speech, as the Supreme Court decided in the by a vote of 5-4, in their Citizens United v Federal Election Commission decision, then indeed you are sleepwalking through your citizenship and giving over your faith to false prophets.
I believe, when future accounts of this era are written, historians will judge that the wake up call for many people in America was in early 2010 with that Supreme Court decision. The winter of 2010 is what led to the #OWS demonstrations in the fall of 2011.
Can we as citizens accept this definition of person, and of speech? This is what Dr. West, by his action on the steps of the Supreme Court, is asking us to stop and ponder. Corporation as person? A soulless legal entity as human being? No. We can't and we must not. As I have written before, God didn't create corporations.
In his by now-famous dissent to the "Citizens United v Federal Election Commission," ruling, Justice John Paul Stevens made this very clear:
"It might also be added that corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their "personhood" often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves members of "We the People" by whom and for whom our Constitution was established."
This is the issue that unites the #occupy rallies; corporations are not those for whom the Constitution was written and they cannot be those whom it protects with the rights owed to citizens who actually are "We the people." There is a deep anger among people who are protesting at these rallies as illustrated by a picture circulating on my Facebook page of a sign at #OWS. It reads, "I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one." This theme resonates over and over again in other signs at #occupy rallies: 'Corporations aren't people.'"
But Dr. West did not call for anger, he actually called for "deep love" in his remarks before his arrest, and he spoke his solidarity even with the police, those who were about to arrest him.
This is worthy of another jail, at another time. In 1963, Dr. King wrote, in his Letter from Birmingham Jail,"I am in Birmingham because injustice is here ...I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly."Part of that letter is one of the fourteen inscriptions on the wall surrounding the new King Memorial: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny."
Perhaps Dr. West would say he was on the steps of the Supreme Court for the same reason. According to his Web site, he spent Sunday night, October 16, "behind bars. He has been ordered to appear in court Monday at 1pm est to answer charges of trespassing on the steps of the Supreme Court."
Another jail, another time, but the same issue: justice.

On the points that corporations should not be granted the same rights as people, that money should not be equated to free speech, and that High Finance got off way too easy I can agree with the OWS crowd.
We drive by the local Occupy Missoula campout (at the court house) every day on the way home from school. My 10 year old daughter wants to interview them for a school project to see what they're protesting, and I think it would be a good excercise for her. I'll let the wife take her though, and get their impressions as I'm too busy working

^^^ That would be an interesting project for her.
Doug Shoen had a couple hundred of them interviewed and came up with some interesting stuff about them.
One thing he discovered that's interesting for this political movement...Makes ya wonder what parties the other 35% belong to.Fewer than one in three (32%) call themselves Democrats, while roughly the same proportion (33%) say they aren't represented by any political party.
Knowing this town I'd guess Green Party
I need to come up with a couple of questions I'd like her to ask these folks. She's basically interested in what they're protesting, and will ask that. Right now she thinks it's 'jobs', I told her that's a very small part of it (if any).
So I'm thinking she should ask:
1) Do you and will you vote?
2) What would be the number one thing you would change if given the chance?
I don't want her to get bogged down in political affiliations, etc, but would like her to hear their ideas so we can discuss them.
And maybe she can help me figure out what it is these folks are up to! Otherwise, I'm just too busy to be bothered...

Because they are more than the parts you agree with
More than anything else I think this is a social movement. Its comprised of the 25-30% of the country that is hardcore Marxists and communists. They have no goals other than the destruction of capitalism and free enterprise.
At first glance like all freak shows they were a little bit interesting but interest is a fleeting thing. Now they're strictly in the rolleyes category and not to be taken seriously. Without the coverage from the mainstream media and support from high ranking democrats they would be just another New York City side show.
This country isnt ready for marxism or communism they might as well go piss up a rope.
From where do you get this, Fox and Alex Jones? I read a concern from OWS blogs about being influenced by socialist factions due to their increasing popularity, but nothing in regards to embracing socialism. And nothing about communists.
It's funny that Fox is now posturing that the media is furthering OWS as if their FNC Tea Party events never happened. Hypocrites.
Donald Trump: Obama should put a stop to Occupy Wall Street protests
Felons with rifles & ammo... rapists... theives... flashers and dudes sh*tting on police cruisers. Can you imagine if any of this happened at a TP event? And they called the TP radical... lol. Careful what u wish for BD.
FELON WITH RIFLE & AMMO Arrested at Obama-Endorsed Occupy Seattle… Oh, and a Serial Exposer Was Arrested, Too
Obama-Endorsed Occupy Cleveland Protester Kidnapped and Raped
What a Shock! Far Left #OWS Goons Say Stealing Is Biggest Problem
"The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us...
Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business."
-The Gipper
ya these folks are real relevant if you can complete watching this freak show without pouring gas on yourself and lighting the match your stronger than me
Hey dude I call em as I see em…
Based on interviews with members of the OWS crowd and from what I read and see in places other than MSM.
My claims have just as much basis in fact as your claims about the Tea Party. If you're looking for hypocrites and liars in the media you might start with MSM. If you're looking for liars and hypocrites in politics your might start with your Messiah.

Ratajczak gets prison time for stealing antique fishing lures
PRINCETON — A Manlius man has been sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty in Bureau County Court to the Class 1 felony of residential burglary.
Michael S. Ratajczak, 26, entered his guilty plea Jan. 2 before Circuit Judge Marc Bernabei. Ratajczak was sentenced to serve five years in prison and to pay court costs within six months of his release from prison.
In mid-September 2012, a Manlius resident reported to the Bureau County Sheriff's Department that his residence had been entered and antique fishing lures had been taken. With assistance from the victim, the sheriff's department gathered evidence that Ratajczak had been selling the fishing lures. A search warrant was obtained and executed on Sept. 20, 2012, on Ratajczak's residence. Most of the antique fishing lures were recovered from Ratajczak's residence. Several other fishing lures were recovered from two individuals who had purchased them from Ratajczak. Authorities arrested Ratajczak that day.

Current News Releases
When floods, hurricanes, mass shootings and other disasters occur, the first place many people turn to for help are local houses of worship. But those cornerstones of aid and comfort can be affected, too, and the religious leaders who staff them may not be prepared to respond or meet the needs of their communities.
Study helps explain why "survival gap" persists for African-Americans
A team of scientists at Johns Hopkins and in Texas has identified a handful of genetic mutations in black Americans, in addition to some chemical alterations affecting gene activity, which may help explain why the death rate among African-Americans from the most common form of head and neck cancer continues to hover some 18 percent higher above the death rate of whites with the same cancer.
Using a powerful gene-hunting technique for the first time in mammalian brain cells, researchers at Johns Hopkins report they have identified a gene involved in building the circuitry that relays signals through the brain. The gene is a likely player in the aging process in the brain, the researchers say. Additionally, in demonstrating the usefulness of the new method, the discovery paves the way for faster progress toward identifying genes involved in complex mental illnesses such as autism and schizophrenia — as well as potential drugs for such conditions.
In mice with a rodent form of multiple sclerosis (MS), vitamin D appears to block damage-causing immune cells from migrating to the central nervous system, offering a potential explanation for why the so-called "sunshine vitamin" may prevent or ease symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease, according to results of a study at Johns Hopkins.
Findings could reshape research on cancer origins and treatment of other autoimmune diseases
Johns Hopkins scientists have found evidence that cancer triggers the autoimmune disease scleroderma, which causes thickening and hardening of the skin and widespread organ damage.
New insights may explain difficulty of finding drugs for infectious disease
For what is believed to be the first time, researchers at The Johns Hopkins University have illuminated the inner workings of an important class of enzymes located inside the outer envelopes of cells. Much to their surprise, they report, these protein cutters, called rhomboid proteases, are entirely different than nearly every other type of enzyme studied, showing no attraction to the proteins they cut and being extremely slow in making their cuts.
Patients fare equally well at half the cost, study shows
Adding to evidence that "high-volume" specialty care in busy teaching hospitals leads to efficiencies unavailable in community hospitals, a new study by Johns Hopkins researchers finds that patients undergoing repair of traumatic eye socket injuries at its busy academic medical center fared just as well at far less cost than those treated at all other Maryland hospitals.
Protein could prove a promising new drug target
Researchers have identified a protein that causes loss of function in immune cells combatting HIV. The scientists report in a paper appearing online Dec. 2 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation that the protein, Sprouty-2, is a promising target for future HIV drug development, since disabling it could help restore the cells' ability to combat the virus that causes AIDS.
Findings advance opportunities for a "pacemaker in a bottle"
Johns Hopkins heart researchers are unraveling the mystery of how a modified pacemaker used to treat many patients with heart failure, known as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), is able to strengthen the heart muscle while making it beat in a coordinated fashion. In a new study conducted on animal heart cells described in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the scientists show that CRT changes these cells so they can contract more forcefully. The researchers also identified an enzyme that mimics this effect of CRT without use of the device.
The Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund will hold its sixth annual Maryland Stem Cell Research Symposium on the Johns Hopkins medical campus on Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2013.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science has announced that the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine's L. Mario Amzel, Ph.D., of the Department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry; Philip Cole, M.D., Ph.D., of the Department of Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences; Valina Dawson, Ph.D., of the Department of Neurology; and the Johns Hopkins University's Stephen Murray, Ph.D., of the Department of Physics and Astronomy are among 388 new fellows from around the world. AAAS fellows are elected by their peers and honored for their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications.
Prenatal exposure to high-fat diets mitigated in offspring
Rats whose mothers were fed a high-fat diet during pregnancy and nursing were able to stave off some of the detrimental health effects of obesity by exercising during their adolescence, new Johns Hopkins research shows.
Johns Hopkins research helps overturn government ban on transplanting HIV-infected organs
A bill scheduled to be signed into law today by President Obama paves the way to reverse the longtime ban on letting HIV-infected people donate their organs for transplantation after death, a move that offers hope to thousands of HIV patients on transplant waiting lists.
Using a new method to catch elusive "jumping genes" in the act, researchers have found two human proteins that are used by one type of DNA to replicate itself and move from place to place. The discovery, described in the Nov. 21 issue of Cell, breaks new ground, they say, in understanding the arms race between a jumping gene driven to colonize new areas of the human genome and cells working to limit the risk posed by such volatile bits of DNA.
Johns Hopkins-led study suggests physicians check for heart rhythm disturbance in those with orthostatic hypotension
Results of a Johns Hopkins-led study have identified a possible link between a history of sudden drops in blood pressure and the most common form of irregular heartbeat.
Study Data from 16 hospitals in eight countries are published in the European Heart Journal
An ultrafast, 320-detector computed tomography (CT) scanner that shows both anatomy within coronary arteries and blood flowcan accurately sort out which people need – or don't need – an invasive procedure to identify coronary blockages, according to an international study. The researchers say their findings could potentially save millions of people worldwide from having an unnecessary cardiac catheterization.
Findings follow previous study showing that commonly used equation underestimates heart disease danger for many at high risk
Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a more accurate way to calculate low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the so-called "bad" form of blood fat that can lead to hardening of the arteries and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. If confirmed and adopted by medical laboratories that routinely calculate blood cholesterol for patients, the researchers say their formula would give patients and their doctors a much more accurate assessment of LDL cholesterol.
Results of a Johns Hopkins study may explain why a chemotherapy drug called cyclophosphamide prevents graft-versus-host (GVHD) disease in people who receive bone marrow transplants. The experiments point to an immune system cell that evades the toxic effects of cyclophosphamide and protects patients from a lethal form of GVHD.
Findings call for a rethinking of cancer genetics
Johns Hopkins researchers report that the deletion of any single gene in yeast cells puts pressure on the organism's genome to compensate, leading to a mutation in another gene. Their discovery, which is likely applicable to human genetics because of the way DNA is conserved across species, could have significant consequences for the way genetic analysis is done in cancer and other areas of research, they say.
Prompt treatment can lower risk of permanent vision loss
A type of high-power blue laser toy readily available over the Internet and increasingly popular among male teens and young adults can cause serious, sometimes irreversible, eye damage, according to a report by investigators from Saudi Arabia's King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (KKESH) and Johns Hopkins Medicine. The two institutions have collaborated on clinical care, medical education and research since 2010.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The Colorado Springs nightclub formerly known as 13 Pure has had its liquor license revoked.
The decision was made after a day-long meeting before the city's liquor board. This was the second time this month Club Syn has had to answer charges of violence at the club.
The hearing was specifically dealing with an incident on March 7, when police say two gangs got into a fight inside the club then spilled out onto the street. Police say they have had to start staging outside the club on weekends so they could quickly respond if a problem arises.

Keep On!HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO YOU. May the road rise up to meet you ...... Today my workout homework was to do a long run, a 6-mile run. OF course last summer when I was training for the half, my long runs ranged from 6 to 13 miles on the weekend. Every week I went out in the 80-90 degree heat and ran my homework, and in August I completed my first half marathon. What jubilation I felt. I did it, ... Read more |
Renew Kefi With A Good CleansingI believe in goals, creating and implementing plans, and working towards excellence. Every once in a while that process entails doing an about face, breaking from the routine and making way for a good cleansing and time of reflection leading to that ultimate quality we seek. Lately, that is what I have been up to, cleansing and purging. I have been contemplating what has not been working in my life and what will work in my day-to-day living in the fo... Read more |
Eating, Energy And More Pertinent ThingsBEFORE & AFTER PICTURES OF KIKI KEFI When I look at the heavier me pictured to the far left, I cannot believe that I let myself lose my KEFI. Looking back to 2006 at the fast pace I kept, the schedule of managing 6 people including myself, the demands of family and career, I now understand why I turned into such a "BIG GIRL." The important thing is that I was always searching for a healthier way of living and looking. &n... Read more |
In and OutAs you move through the first month of 2012 be mindful of your energy level and understand that your result will be in direct proportion to what goes IN and what comes OUT. I have learned that positive thoughts yield positive actions, nutritious food in your tank nets a healthy body, and verbalizing empowering words causes the person listening to be motivated and energized. Keep your flow smart, bright and sunny and why not? Wouldn't you rather be strong and ... Read more |
Happy New Year!Dear friends in KEFI, 2012 presents a new and relevant dawn rising, in which I want so much to share more of the qualities that persons closest to me say are my strongest characteristics; those being enthusiasm and positive energy. Like a good night's sleep, it is my wish to restore your spirit and stamina to feel and look great, while encouraging you to grow into the most kefinated (energized) person you have the potential to be!

My Expectations Exceeded In First Half MarathonThe Chicago Rock n Roll Marathon series was a ton "o" fun Sunday, mostly because it was not 100 degrees with high humidity and secondly because this Greek was prepared to run the distance of 13.1 miles. Lovers of vitality, I am still flying high from Sunday's events that took place in the heart of downtown Chicago beginning and ending at beautiful Buckingham Fountain. Note: the experience of running with 30,000 people is enormously more energizing that training double digit miles al... Read more |
One day to 13.1-I'm Ready13.1 is a day away, and I am so excited. This entire process of training, following a program, learning how to eat better, setting boundaries, keeping to the consistency, growing menatlly stronger and raising money for my friend Theofanis has contributed to my evolution, and improved me as a living human being. (sidebar: this is only the beginning) Helen Keller was right when she said, "Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much!" My husband and ... Read more |
10K Taper Ends With New Cubs Drink Of ChoiceWith 7 days left until my first half marathon I'm feeling good about my progress right now after running a solid 10k upon my return from LA this evening.

My schedule got a bit goofed up this past week as I traveled bi-coastal from Florida to Los Angeles and the time change exhausted me. I caught a cold on the plane and fe... Read more |
How Much Do I Love You-My-Child?I signed up to run the Chicago Rock and Roll half marathon for me, but mostly I signed up for my son's little friend Thefonais and his family!

Impossible -because the strength of a cancer patient is one who possesses internal faith, staying power, persistence, fortitude and patience. My discomfort during training for the half marathon does not compare one iota to th... Read more |
Inspiration Keeps All of Us GoingThe power of inspiration is contagious! I've discovered through training for my first half marathon that people innately enjoy rooting for another's success. It feels good to help another person push through their challenges and possibly if we see a friend or family member succeeding with an endeavor we then feel that maybe we ourselves have potential to achieve our own accomplishments. We inspire others to get moving on their dreams, and they inspire us to keep going on ours. Inspiration is... Read more |
Panic Is The Enemy Of Our ImaginationMy half marathon training had me scheduled to run 12 miles as my long run this week, plus speed work a tempo run and workout/lift. On paper it all looked good, but in my head I was thinking about the oppressive heat, which had me in a tailspin every day casuing me to wonder how I could do this long distance in the high humidity and temps hoovering at 90 in the morning and 104 in the afternoon. Of course ... Read more |
Muscle Milk Recovers Me From Prinicple of OverloadThe last few days of my half marathon training have been going pretty well. What I continue to discover and unerstand is that there are no perfect scenarios for working out, and certainly one must prepare for outside circumstances to mix things up and force you to adapt accordingly. Last Monday our power went out, which meant that I could not hop on my treadmill to do my speedwork, so instead I went out for a bike spin. My sc... Read more |
Marathoners Have All My Respect!Training for my first half marathon has brought me to a new realization about marathoners-they are very disciplined and bold! Every week I have been adding miles to get conditioned for the Chicago Rock n Roll, and yesterday I ran my first ever 10 miler. My gosh was it tough at the end. The heat did not help matters because my body was working harder than usual to cool itself and move. The first 2 miles were descent, miles 3-7 ... Read more |
The Heat and Speed Work Are Good ToolsHappy Tuesday, and hope your fourth of July was spectacular! We spent the holiday with various friends and family doing a great deal of socializing. Being social is fun, but too much can derail your routine, and it did to me just a tad this past weekend. The mental aspect of training for an event equates to discipline with rest, food and limited drinks. In my case, I kept an eye on my nutrtion concentrating on eating proteins, fruits and ...

Building on a base for halfHalf marathon training is coming along nicely with slow and steady progression. First, allow me to tell you many people are excited for me to do my first half marathon, and each share with me great enthusiasm, but feel imtimated by the distance as I did last year when I slowly began adding miles. A half marathon after all is a long distance of 13.1 miles or half the distance of a marathon. In 2008 Running USA reported that half ... Read more |

Why do a Half Marathon?My journey to fitness and vitality has been in play since I was a teenager.

Not a real easy task for me to put me on the list, and that got me in a snag ... Read more |

Best of Lifework: Sandy Corsillo of Hickoree's Hard Goods
Meet Sandy Corsillo. He and his brother Emil are the masterminds behind Hickorees's Hard Goods. I realize the interview is long but Sandy is really eloquent and I think this story warrants a bit of breathing space. See what you think. (All the office supplies I've used to illustrate this piece are available from Hickoree's. And the sling shot at the end? Well, honestly who can resist a good sling shot?)
How long have you worked from home…and where is home? I began working on a nameless company in the beginning of 2007. I had taken a job in finance a year earlier and although I loved the company I worked for, the job itself wasn't something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. So we set up a legal entity and called it Max Corsillo, after my childhood dog Max, and began talking to friends and family about ideas for the company. All I knew was I wanted it to be menswear related and I wanted it to have an online presence.
Fast forward to spring of 2008. After a number of false starts with graphic tees (they always looked like cheap homemade graphic tees), I pulled my whole family together (father, mother, sister, and brother — all artists except me) and made this proposal to them: I want to build a site with the objective of being a great menswear store that sells a small curated selection of the best brands in the world. Then I want to slip into that selection our own brands, products that we create. By doing so we could hopefully give the products we come up with an immediate legitimacy that they might take years to gain otherwise, and at the same time let the site itself feed off the exclusive ownership of the newest brands.
For this to work, I told them, we need two things: a great website (which I would build), and ideas for new brands that were unlike anything else being done at the time. Simple right? I told them all to come up with ideas and then I assigned the design/art direction of the site to my brother Emil. My mother managed the initial conversion to html/css and set up the domain and all that good stuff.
Next I began researching e-commerce design. I talked to a web designer friend who told me how much it would cost to have the site built. The number was too high. I bought a book on PHP and MySQL and spent the next nine months learning how to build the site myself. I was still working at my old job so this was all done before and after work and on the weekends at my apartment in Soho. Over the next 9+ months the site changed and morphed into what it is today. The name Hickoree's Hard Goods was Emil's idea. Originally it was the name he came up with for his vintage clothing collection, but it seemed to work even better for the whole store. We also changed our focus a bit and began to think of the site as a sort of modern day general store. Something that every town in America had in the 1950s.
During this time Emil started experimenting with ties made out of dead stock fabric. He made a few prototypes which were really well received by our friends, and before we knew it The Hill-Side was born. In March of 2009 our friend and soon to be partner, Hisashi Oguchi, sold 420 ties to United Arrows in Japan. The next day I put in notice that I was quitting my job and started planning to move into the apartment in Brooklyn next door to my brother. We made my new apartment our office. We launched the site in June. I stayed on at my job until the end of 2009, then in mid January we moved to our new office and apartment in South Williamsburg.
In other words, I have been working from home basically for around 3 1/2 years.
What does an average work day involve? How do you structure the day? We try to spend about half the day working together on all the little things that need to get done immediately. Things like shipping out packages and responding to emails. The other half should be spent on longer term projects. For me that means getting all our finances in order (a daunting task for one person), planning the production of next season's The Hill-Side line, and working on new, upcoming projects. For Emil this means photographing new Hickoree's products, researching new products, planning future seasons for The Hill-Side, seeking out new shops to work with for The Hill-Side, and also working on new projects.
This is the plan, but most days seem to begin with a plan and end with us feeling like we didn't get enough done. We are at a place now where we need to hire people but we also need to invest everything in the growth of the business. This means each of us is overworked, especially Emil. Check back with us in a year and hopefully things will be very different.
Is there any form of technology that really inspires you and helps you in your work? I'm a total nerd when it comes to new technologies. Every time I hear about a new development platform for the web I need to try it out. Although the site currently uses very little javascript, Jquery is the most exciting thing I can think of in terms of new web technologies that would affect Hickoree's directly, even though it's not all that new.
What I'm really excited about is the future of Hickoree's, from a tech perspective, beginning in the hands of a true web developer. I'm working towards this with a good friend from college who is on a totally different level than I am. Talking to him about what's possible inspires me. It's also a relief. Running a custom site by yourself, built by you, can be extremely nerve-wracking.
How do you organize your space? I'm thinking here of your physical space but also your virtual space. In terms of the spatial setup online, we want the site to be organized so that you discover something new when you come to the site. This goes back to the site being a modern day general store. We want the user to feel like he/she can comfortably peruse our shop and neither feel overwhelmed nor feel like the shelves are empty.
It's more difficult to pull that off than it may seem. If you look at a lot of online stores they have like 50 brands all listed in a way that makes you feel like you're in a generic department store. When I walk into a department store I feel overwhelmed. I want to go in knowing what I want and I want to get it and get out, quick. It's fine for us if a customer knows what they want on our site and goes right to it; we are organized to make this easy. But we also want them to discover new things in the process. We are constantly striving to present an unexpected assortment of objects, yet when you look at the store as a whole it really makes perfect sense.
If I were a Hickoree's customer, this is what would keep me coming back. I would be excited about the unexpected things I might discover on my next visit to the shop. It is important to have a diverse range of products and styles in the shop, but it all has to be coherent. We want each product and each brand to make the ones around it look better and in turn to be improved and enlivened by the products that surround it. This is what the front page is all about, and the "EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE" link is our favorite part of the site. I guess our goal is for a customer to feel like they walked into a small, uncluttered shop with a surprising selection of stuff. And we want them to want everything.
What item from your desktop can you not do without? I try to keep my desk stark. Everything on it should be necessary or it should be cleaned off. My cup of iced coffee I guess, although that's a little bit like a pack of cigarettes, I wish I didn't need it.
What music do you listen to while you work? Right now I'm listening to The Shepherd's Dog by Iron & Wine
What inspires you? There are two things that I think of when I think about inspiration: Inspiration like when you see someone eating cake with their hands and think, "Oh my god, why not make palm sized cakes and call them cupcakes!" (I imagine that's how it went down), or inspiration, which may be closer to admiration, like when you hear about someone quitting their six-figure salary job to move to Honduras and set up a non-profit to teach young adults how to be entrepreneurs.
In terms of the cupcake one, I have no clue what inspires me until it does and I can't predict what that thing will be before hand. It's kind of like when someone asks what type of a woman I'm attracted to. I don't really know until I meet her, but when I do it makes perfect sense. This is all vague, but so is the process of inspiration in my head. I do know that when I am inspired by a new idea or a new way to do something better it is an incredible feeling. And when that inspiration turns into a completed project and is well received… there's nothing better. I think both Emil and I are driven by that feeling.
In terms of the admiration type, I'm inspired by people who fail repeatedly but refuse to give up. For me, the important thing I now understand is that it is highly unlikely an idea that comes from a moment of inspiration will turn into a success. I think this leads a lot of people who could do really great things to get discouraged and give up. Three years ago I was silkscreening on American Apparel t-shirts in my parents' basement and was convinced I was going to make a ton of money from it. It was a total failure. The designs were good, but so are a million other t-shirt designs.
I realized that something I had worked really hard on and almost staked my future on wasn't going to work, and I got really discouraged. But from that I was able to see what could be successful from a much better vantage point. So I came up with another plan and when that didn't work I came up with another and another. Along the way, bits and pieces of the earlier ideas informed the next ones. In other words, the failures made for the success. I talk to people who say, "I wish I had a really good idea like Hickoree's or The Hill-Side" as if the idea for either came to us in a dream or out of one conversation. That's not the way it works. So when I hear of success born out of failure I am inspired, it makes me feel like things are possible without relying on a once in a lifetime idea that comes to you out of the blue.

Olsen's diverse interests are deftly demonstrated in oil paintings that range from the realistic and historical to the whimsical. His luminous, delicate portraits capture not only his subject's likeness, but their spirit as well. Landscapes of scenes from America and the world over reflect the perfect beauty of the minds eye.
Born in 1958, Olsen was raised in a farming community in rural Idaho. His parents, artists themselves, recognized and encouraged his early love of drawing. Later, the devoted tutelage of a high school teacher cemented his affinity and enhanced his technical ability. After studying illustration at Utah State University, he was hired as an in-house illustrator in Salt Lake City, working on anything from murals and dioramas to simple paste-up. Two years later, he followed a friend's advice and began painting full-time. Sales from his first show only just covered the cost of refreshments and invitations, but yielded the first of many commissions that were to come.
Greg's philosophy on art is quite simple. "I appreciate the beauty of art and the way it makes me feel," he says. "I believe that art has the potential to heal our souls, inspire our hearts and awaken our minds. I hope these images will bring this experience to all who view them."

I bought this set as a Beehive and would look through the cards with two of my siblings during sacrament meeting. They developed a greater love for the Savior, especially with the pictures of the sacrament and Christ with the children.
Great for Children!

These are great for children during sacrament meeting. The cards can be placed on a ring (w/ punched holes) and flipped through quietly. Perfect for thinking of the SAVIOR during sacrament!

budget prints for decoration

This was a great way to decorate my home. Just find/buy some inexpensive frames- you can mat them if you want and place them around the house. They also make great gifts.
Good sacrament activity.

I bought this pack and hole punched each card; then I put them all on a ring and my kids look at them during sacrament-great little activity for them and definitely worth the buy!
Great for a child

There are more new jobs being announced on the radio bulletins than old ones lost, and God rest the maestro actor David Kelly who slipped away quietly at the age of 83. He brought us all a lot of laughs in his time and that's for sure. I hope you all keep well.
There's hope for ye too. Following your developing election battles recently and listening to some of the related debates I often wondered if there was any blackish humor involved in the fashion we relish that element over here.
There clearly is. My whimsical friend Dave Clark sent me the following story which will appeal to the Republicans in your ranks. It certainly appealed to me. I don't know how widespread this one has been, but I'm sure not all of you have chuckled at it.
It seems that George Bush and Putin of Russia and Queen Elizabeth died recently, and all of them were consigned down to hell. After two days Putin wanted to phone Russia and the devil said okay, but he would have to pay for the call.
Putin spoke to aides in Moscow for 10 minutes only. He asked the devil how much he had to pay. The devil charged him a million dollars. Putin wrote a check for that amount without question.
Later in the day Queen Elizabeth wanted to talk to the royal family in London and the process was repeated.
She stayed on the line for 20 minutes and the devil charged her two million pounds. Again she wrote a check for that amount without question.
Then immediately afterwards George Bush wanted to call Washington. He stayed on the phone for no less than four hours!
However, when he asked what that cost the devil said just two dollars!
An enraged Putin demanded to know why there was such a difference in the bills and the devil replied, "Well since Obama took over down there it is only a local call!"
I don't hear too many Democrats chuckling!
But I have the outline of a real good news story here in Clare now for those of you planning to visit Ireland later this year. I don't have firm details yet, just the broad outline, but I promise to flesh it out later when I get them and already I can promise those of you who can make it will enjoy the weekend of a lifetime.
What is going to happen is an organized gathering of bards and poets and singers and musicians and genuine Knights of the Road in the heart of the Burren of Clare before the year is much older.

1.2 million Irish court records from 1850 to 1910 now available online
If the Burren is special, and it definitely is, then this will be extra special altogether. The extrovert Bards of Armagh, for example, are sending an eloquent delegation and some of the top poets in the entire land will be there in full flow.
If there was a trigger for the idea it came from the gentle visits over many years of the gentle and articulate man called Francis Kendall-Husband, now deceased, who was known throughout Ireland as the last of the Wandering Bards, the last pair of sturdy boots walking a timeless road of tradition.
He was an intelligent and articulate and deeply devout man that people respected and remembered, and he loved coming to the Burren and especially the village of Carron on its rocky brow. Here he was never short of a bed and food.
I knew him quite well. He slept under my roof several times when I lived in Connemara.
He had a powerful presence, a gentle way about him, a rich poetic gift, a man you would never forget.
He told me some of his realities one night. He said that the county homes which developed out of the dreaded workhouses of the past were always friendlier and warmer in the poorer counties along the west coast. He often slept a night in them and knew the difference.
And he said that though Galway Bay divided them the plain people of Clare and Galway were the friendliest of all.
Two other small things I remember about Francis. If you gave him a cigarette he would always break off the tip. And he was always gone in the morning before the rest of the house awoke, a thank you note left behind, his wandering boots off on his life road again.
When I have definite details I will let ye know them, and some of you will be thanking me warmly before the year is over.
Finally, crowning a fine week so far, my own county of Fermanagh met my adopted county of Clare in the new Gaelic football league a couple of weekends ago. Neither side will win the league, but I have been delighted since because Fermanagh (now under the tutelage of the great Peter Canavan of Tyrone) were clear winners.
I have been strutting abroad since and talking football every chance that arises. We don't win too often you see.
Hope you all win your games this week as well.

Last few days here in Dublin have been remarkably mild, God bless St. Brighid, feisty femme fatale that she was. Bane of the holy Romans. We also got away lightly this winter, compared to last 2010's hell freeze over. God bless global warming.

in my imagination, many of the gatherings within this event will take place in the open air on the bare limestone bones of the burren, in small naturally sloping amphitheatres, with open fires for warmth and liveliness. maybe some of them, at least, will be like that...

this burren gathering of cultural keepers of the flame sounds magical. your fleeting account will turn many readers into children who have spied an irresistable confection, and who are now scheming and conspiring, against all odds and realities, to get at it...

Where I live in the Midwest, the winter this year could be best described as "the winter that wasn't." Only used the snow blower once, mostly because it had gas in it and was ready to go. I keep checking to make sure my spring flowers aren't coming up yet - it's too early. Haven't heard any political jokes. Just the usual political mudslinging which is only going to get worse until the Nov. election - unfortunately. In regard to your football team, you have to take your pleasures where and when you find them.

Backlash after saying private sector is 'doing fine'

Good evening I'm Chris Wallace and for broad band.
President Obama held -- many news conference today on the state of the economy and he placed blame for the slow recovery Hong Kong whereas in the -- crisis in Europe.
But it was another unplanned remark that is getting most of the attention tonight here's senior White House foreign affairs correspondent Wendell Goler.
It wasn't meant to be a diagnosis but President Obama seemed to give the economy a clean bill of health.
We've created.
Four point three million jobs over the last two.
47 months.
Over 800000.
Just this year alone.
The private sector is doing fine.
His goal was to contrast recent job losses in the public sector teachers police officers and others let go with state and local governments wrestle with -- budget shortfalls with private sector growth that is positive though even he admits it's not fast enough.
But Republicans -- I think he's defining what it means to be attached and out of touch with the American people.
All a Mitt Romney spokesman said quote the 23 million Americans who are struggling for work are not doing fine.
Job creators in small businesses are not doing fine and Republicans on Capitol Hill piled on.
Well the president must be on another planet I'm and -- just you just -- the jobs figures last Friday last week the Labor Department reported half as many jobs created in May -- economists had predicted and far less that are needed to significantly reduce the unemployment rate.
In a photo -- with the Philippine president after hours of pounding mr.
Obama walked it back.
The economy's not doing -- Third too many people out work the housing market is still weak and too many homes underwater.
And that's precisely why I asked.
To start taking some steps -- can make -- it.
It's the moment had a paralleled in the 2008 campaign when John McCain rather than criticize a stalling job market under Republican president said the fundamentals of the economy were strong views -- Joseph Biden ridiculed him at an appearance in Nashua, New Hampshire.
I can walk from here to Manchester.
And I doubt there I'd find one person has said that fundamentals are strong in the economy is roaring.
Unless they were -- John McCain.
Just this week former President Clinton said median income is lower than when he left office his goal was to warn against letting the Bush Administration tax cuts on the middle class expire at the end of the year.
But it doesn't suggest fine.
And he gave mr.
Obama heartburn.
-- suggesting the upper income tax cuts might be extended a few months ended when he thirteenth something the White House opposes meanwhile Europe's financial crisis is causing more than Hartford and not a few imploring phone calls Spain's banks need a bailout the wealthy Germans are reluctant to provide.
And Greek politicians on the far right and left are literally coming to blows over whether to stay in the eurozone.
There were a couple of things mr.
Obama wanted to do today to stress the European leaders held urgent it is that they get their act together and to warn Americans that.
Europe's problems could affect our economy but.
Much of that got lost in a misread diagnosis breast.
That's -- his conference those are always centrist thing Wendell Goler at the White House Wendell thank you --
