T!here.is.a", 'law of gravity,' for instance; which makes objects inthe air fall to the ground". Law of gravity 3s only another name for iveighi. We know of nothing which t has not some weight. If we could make a single thing without Aveight, we should be actually creatiilg; i. e., making what -never- ex? iisted before. « "This of course we cannot .do, but- even "without that power we have great, control over matter. "In spite of tlie law of gravity, we can make a balloon go up in.the air; not because we break the law, but because the nydrogen gas in the balloon is lighter than the ah outside. EverythingA\*e*do with matter is accomplished in^tiie^same; sort" of way; "that is, by using tljie iw.tural jiroperties of one tiling against those of another, and so interrupting one natttral law.

Tanna, I agree Jicama is great, and it has a glycemic rating of "none" since it's so low on the GI, so I love that.
Joey, I'm glad you were happy about it, loved the idea of the pasta dish.
PBPoet, I am so glad people like the idea. It's fun looking for them.
Ruth, 28 Cooks is a great blog!
Diane, seriously I'm not trying to convert people to South Beach, but if you want to lose weight it's an easy way to do it.
Christine, so glad you like the recipes.

My husband and I are nearing the end of Phase I, and picked up a jicama out of sheer boredom, with no idea if we could even eat it yet! I KNEW you'd have some recipes :) It must be our new low sugar tastebuds, but sliced jicama tastes so much like an apple to me that I had to doublecheck that we were really allowed to eat it. Thanks for all of the great recipes - we are turning to you almost daily and are inspired by your success! :)

Jockey Quotes
JOEL ROSARIO, ULTRA BLEND, Winner: "She's a little mare, but she tries hard every time. They were going slow but she was so relaxed. I just let her be where she wanted to be. I could see everyone in front of me and when she started making a move, she was going so fast I didn't want to take a chance, so I stayed a little bit outside. I think she really likes it here. She won the last time she went this distance (Cat's Cradle last Dec. 10).''
RUSSELL BAZE, LADY RAILRIDER, Second: "That's not really how I saw the race setting up. I wanted the (West Ruler) and (Excellent News) to go and I could sit just tucked in behind them. That worked for about a sixteenth of a mile, then she just grabbed the bit and ran off to the lead with me. She stepped out real good for me from the quarter pole to the wire but she just couldn't outrun that other one."
Owner Quotes
ART SHERMAN, ULTRA BLEND, Winner: "I know this mare, and I saw her running at the five-sixteenths and when she gets running and in the clear, she's tough. She just runs you down. She's done that quite a few times. Actually, I was pretty confidant today. Usually I'm not, but I had a really good feeling. She was freshened up, trained awesome and looks awesome. She's one of my favorites of all time. She just lays her body down every time she runs. This track really helps her. There aren't any more Cal bred races, so we'll have to try a little tougher next time. She's beaten Evening Jewel and she's a tough horse herself. Evening Jewel's a millionaire and my mare has banked a half-million dollars ($535,646). We're going to have some fun with her."

Early electronic readings taken throughout the Sierra Nevada range indicate that the Sierra Nevada snow pack, which melts and runs into state and federal water conveyance systems, was 134 percent of normal, according to state Department of Water Resources data on Wednesday, Jan. 2.
The snow pack typically provides about a third of the water used by California's households, farms and industries after melting into streams, reservoirs and aquifers in spring and early summer.
"We're off to a real good start on the water supply for this year, but of course we don't know what the rest of the winter is going to hold," said Ted Thomas, spokesman for the Department of Water Resources.
Department representatives conducted this winter's first manual snow survey Wednesday, Jan. 2, sticking a pipe into the snow in various locations, including near Echo Summit along Highway 50 south of Lake Tahoe, and then measuring the weight of the pipe with the snow inside it. Results of the survey were not available as of press time.
As of last week, however, the outlook appeared far better than a year earlier, when the snow pack was just 19 percent of average — one of the driest seasons on record.
In addition, some dams that feed into state and federal water conveyance systems are filled to the brim.
As of Tuesday, Jan. 1, Shasta Lake north of Redding, the largest reservoir used by the federal Central Valley Project, was at 73 percent of its 4.5 million acre-foot capacity — 115 percent of average for the date.
The Central Valley Project conveys water throughout the Central Valley via a series of canals and reservoirs, including the Delta-Mendota Canal near Patterson.
Bill Harrison, general manager of the Del Puerto Water District, which provides water for about 45,000 acres of farmland on the West Side, is pleased with the large snow pack but still uncertain what it will mean for local growers.
"It's a good start to a good water year," Harrison said. "We're hoping that it continues, and we're hoping to take advantage of good precipitation for farmers over here on the West Side. At the same time, we continue to have concerns about constraints to our water supply."
Future uncertain
Farm water districts have had their allocations curtailed for nearly two decades as the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation seeks to protect endangered and threatened fish.
One of those fish is the Delta smelt, a small endangered fish that scientists say is an indicator of the overall health of the Stockton-San Joaquin Delta. In addition, the National Marine Fisheries Service provides protection for the threatened Chinook salmon and Central Valley steelhead.
Environmentalists say these fish are sucked into intake pumps used to divert water to farmers and other state and federal contractors.
The smelt was listed as a federally protected fish in the revised Endangered Species Act of 1993. More recently, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a biological opinion in 2008 that provided guidelines for pumping restrictions. A federal judge overturned the document in 2010 after it was challenged in court by farm water advocates, and it was revised as part of a settlement between the different legal parties last year.
Similarly, the National Marine Fisheries Service issued a biological opinion in 2009 that outlined pumping restrictions to protect threatened salmon.
Farm water districts that contract with the Central Valley Project, including the Del Puerto district, received only 40 percent of their allocations in 2012, though even in average rain years it's typical for farmers to receive less than 100 percent of their contracts.
State Water Project contractors, such as the Oak Flat Water District in the hills west of south Patterson and Crows Landing, received 65 percent of their allocations.
A newly completed 500-foot-long canal that connects the federal Delta-Mendota Canal and the California Aqueduct west of Tracy has helped ease the movement of water to state and federal water contractors when needed, but local farm water districts still face water supply challenges, Harrison said.
Looking ahead, state officials are discussing a couple of tunnels that could carry up to 9,000 cubic feet of water per second from the Sacramento River around the lower reaches of the Delta and avoid the problem of sucking fish into the pumps.
That project would keep much fresh water from flowing into the Delta, but could resolve issues for growers south of the pumps. The project is estimated to cost $13 billion.
In the meantime, Harrison said local farm water districts could face challenges this year even in the best case.
"I think we'll be surprised, given how wet we're starting out ... how little (allocations) will turn out, given the constraints that are in place," Harrison said.
Wet fall, wet winter
In addition to a healthy snow pack in the Sierra Nevada range, local rainfall has been heavier than during the 2011-12 rainy season.
As of Monday, Dec. 31, the Patterson area had received 7.18 inches for this rainfall season, according to a weather station set up at Yancey Lumber, at 100 E St. That compares to 6.85 inches slightly less than a year earlier on Jan. 6, 2011, according to Irrigator archives.
Rainfall as well as the snow pack in the Sierra Nevada range boosts the level of the San Joaquin River, which provides part of the water supply for the Patterson and West Stanislaus irrigation districts, both of which irrigate farms on the West Side.
"I think everyone's pretty cautiously optimistic right now," Peter Rietkerk, general manager of the Patterson Irrigation District, said of the heavy rainfall last month and the healthy snow pack. "However, if everything stopped right now, there would be a lot of concern."
The river reached 32.75 feet in the Patterson area Wednesday, Jan. 2, compared to about 32.5 feet a year earlier, according to the state Department of Water Resources.
Looking to the week ahead, January should start off dry, but local residents could see rain during the weekend.
The National Weather Service predicts clear skies until Saturday, Jan. 5, and Sunday, Jan. 6, when cloudy weather and a slight chance of showers are expected, according to Karl Swanberg, a forecaster for the National Weather Service.
He said rainfall at the nearby Modesto City-County Airport was 4.03 inches as of Dec. 31, about twice what it was the prior year, when it was 2.04 inches.
"This year has been much wetter," he said.

Isabel & Claire's Globetrotting Apartment
House Tour
Name: Isabel Cooke & Claire Walsh
Location: Hackney, London
Size: 2 bedroom apartment
Years lived in: 2 years; Owned
Isabel and Claire's 1950's ex-local authority apartment has been given a new lease of life with their eclectic and global finds, family heirlooms and a huge dose of enthusiasm. Claire, a trends analyst, travels the world searching for great design, while Bel has a great eye for local vintage finds.
Slotted between Victorian terraces and converted factory buildings, the apartment was a great find when Bel bought it in 2010, but it needed a lot of work to become as cozy and welcoming as it is today. Paint was stripped, floors were pulled up and a new kitchen was installed. Slowly filling up with unique textiles and souvenirs, the apartment is now a wonderful place to call home.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Ethnic throw up! Mixed with inherited furniture. And plenty of Ikea trips.
Inspiration: World of Interiors, but you couldn't tell. We did want to try and keep it fairly modern, in keeping with the time it was built — it is a 50s council flat.
Favorite Element: Bel likes the sunlight in the front room. Claire likes how cozy it is.
Biggest Challenge: Sourcing the green tiles for the kitchen. And the fireplace — Bel can't stand the surround and marble. No plant is big enough to mask it. But it is a work in progress.
What Friends Say: It's much bigger than they thought.
Biggest Embarrassment: We found something really embarrassing when we ripped out the cupboards in one of the bedrooms. But it didn't belong to either of us!
Proudest DIY: Chipping all layers of gloss off the woodwork, tiles, walls. It was everywhere. Ripping out the kitchen. Pulling up the floor. Gutting the place, really.
Biggest Indulgence: Hired muscle for the decorating.
Best Advice: Hire muscle for the decorating. And don't rush decisions.
Dream Sources: Local suppliers and Liberty.
Resources of Note: Ebay, Ikea, grandparents, London Plumbers, Abbotts Floors, a local tile shop, vintage fairs, car boots.

I am so incredibly jealous of that couch.
It's always nice to another London grace the pages of AT.
I love the kitchen. Everything is so cozy! Can we get before and after photos? I'd love to see the original kitchen.
Very nice - the spare, beautiful art is so nicely displayed, not overdone. Love hanging a plant from the curtain rods. Lovely space.
I am seriously in lust with that couch!
I so want to make the leap and go all white on my walls!So clean,so calming.Lovely place,if a tad sparse for my taste.I do love a knic knac or ten!
Major cushion envy. MAJOR. Looks like I need to learn how to sew. (And take a trip to Myanmar.)
However long it took you to source those glossy, grassy green kitchen splashback tiles - it was worth it.
i really like the living room rug and the green kitchen tile. this is my kinda place.
precariously balanced plates, books and bottles of wine together on kitchen shelves, a disproportionately wide dress hanging on the door, sewing machine on a dresser - this apartment is SO contrived.
Love this little place. The textures and colours of the textiles, the plants, and the home itself. Good job.
I'm surprised at the comment saying this flat is "so contrived", I think it looks thoughtful but lived in and I love it. The only thing I personally would change is to move the (beautifully dressed) sofa out from the wall and put a side table and lamp between it and the wall. But that's a personal preference to not be sitting pressed up against a wall on one side. Otherwise I think this place is light and airy and warm and personal and beautiful (and I suspect the sewing machine is stored on the dresser and moved somewhere more convenient when it's being used).
Lovely. Looks like actual people live here. Refreshing.
"Contrived?" I was just thinking to myself that this is the first apartment therapy home tour that really spoke to me. I look at the pictures and feel like I actually understand why each piece is where it is. Yes, I'm sure there was a bit of staging before the big photo shoot, but if that is what makes them feel comfortable with guests (or alone) at home, let it be. Then again, I'm not a design student or a seasoned professional, just a college student in an apartment trying to feel things out.
i love the tiny little kitchen. so many americans small apartments try to squeeze in a full size kitchen with a huge loss of living space. This one seems perfect.

Contrived? I didn't find it contrived at all, I think it's lovely. I adore all the plants and the green tiles in the kitchen. I could live here easily.
"Contrived?" Get over yourself. People live in this home. Everyone is entitled to their respective opinions, but the anonymity of the internet is not a green light to be outright rude.
Beautiful. Lovely use of textiles and color in bits, so it feels rich but not overdone. I wanted to know how large this is. And what a lovely collection of indoor plants.
I love this! It's great to see some British/European tours on here. British houses are always so awkwardly designed and usually horribly decorated (sorry if I'm jumping to stereotypes but I've lived here 5 years and constantly look for new places to live and they're never nicely designed).
I especially like how the heater on the wall has been 'hidden' a little - those heaters are always in the worst places.
Odd, I've had a completely different experience after living in London for five years. I've seen a lot of gorgeous homes, from Georgian and Victorian homes that still have original features, to ex-council flats and 30s/50s houses that have been lovingly designed and/or modernised. British people in a lot of ways aren't afraid to be a bit mad/fearless, and the result are some lovely, cozy, inviting homes with a range of influences. And with the range of markets, design and furniture shops (in all price points), there's no excuse not to make your home the way you want it. I'm afraid that your stereotypes are just based on unfortunate experiences. And if you've had such poor experiences, why not just fix it up yourself! I've spent the past year fixing up my old Victorian and I'm proud of the results (and there's nothing more British than making your home into your castle).
To reiterate some of the posts above I'd also agree this is far from contrived. It's a great space, interesting and considered. I too have an urge to move the sofa out from the wall, although I wonder if there is the space too?. The textiles are fabulous, and I am incredibly envious of those green tiles in the kitchen.!!.
Thanks for all your comments. Very kind. Our sewing machine is sitting in a state of ill repair, once its fixed it will be on the kitchen table; running off more cushions no doubt! It's nice to put the textiles bought from overseas to use back home; they have so many memories attached. We have also been very lucky with inherited furniture - that couch is amazing! It's well over 50 years old - they don't make them like they used to.
The space is 65m sq, which is quite spacious for a London flat. Local authority housing was really well planned post war, so a 50s build is a good period to buy. As for the staging... well... Claire works as an interiors stylist sometimes so she just cant help herself; but its nice to see all the random stuff we collect on display. Thanks again everyone! Nice to read so many sweet comments about our place xx
Lovey home! I adore your kitchen and of course the fab sofa and cushions in the living room.
I have that exact same brass table! Found it in the bottom of a heap of broken furniture at a consignment warehouse. Interesting to know where it may have come from!
I agree with other posters--I think this house is lovely, welcoming, and not overly-construed. And even if it were contrived--who cares? If the homeowner loves it (which they obviously do--their home practically exudes love), who are we AT commenters to say otherwise? After all, we don't have to live there...
I have not posted in a while, but this place moved me to do so. Well done! This place provides a balanced atmosphere with interesting (yet not overwhelming) details.
love the collection of mixed things that make this space whole
Hi Isabel and Claire,
I was wondering where you purchased the paper lantern you have in your living room.
Is the round ceiling lamp in the first picture from IKEA?
Did you find out where she got the paper lantern? I want it too!

Farmington man faces charge after walking around downtown with toy gun tucked in shorts
FARMINGTON — A man who walked around the downtown with a toy gun that appeared real was charged with terrorizing Thursday night. John Cushman, 20, "made lots of people nervous" when he strolled through town with a toy gun tucked into his shorts, said Deputy Chief Shane Cote of the Fa…
One person's paranoia does not constitute terrorizing action by another person.
If the accused never performed a threatening act then how can it be terrorizing? Perhaps he did, but the article doesn't mention any such act.
Maine is an open carry state. According to the article the weapon was not concealed. So as long as he did not brandish the weapon is a threatening manner then he broke no law, as I see it.
It will be interesting to see how this turns out. If anyone finds another article that describes the accused's action further then please share it with me.
