I received a PhD in Resource Management and Environmental Studies in 1998 from University of British Columbia, Vancouver, under the supervision of Professors Daniel Pauly (Fisheries Centre, UBC) and Jack Knetsch (Department of Economics, Simon Fraser University). With background in marine science (BSc., Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand), fishery management and resource economics (MSc., Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA), fishery biology (MSc., University of North Wales, Bangor, UK), and environmental studies, I have been interested in interdisciplinary research, particularly in the integration of natural and social sciences to address resource management issues. As part of my PhD dissertation, I developed the 'damage schedule' approach, which incorporates a variety of stakeholders' opinions into a simple ranking system, as a tool to assist policy makers in formulating resource management policies that correspond to a wide array of constituent groups, such as fishers, aquaculturists, tourism industry, scientists, managers, and the general public. After spending three years as an assistant professor at the Department of Coastal and Ocean Policy, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, Virginia, USA, I returned to Canada to join the Social Research for Sustainable Fisheries project, based at St. Francis Xavier Univeristy, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, and later worked as senior research fellow for International Ocean Institute, Dalhousie University, Halifax. In 1999, I established a research centre in Bangkok called 'Coastal Development Centre' (or CDC), which I currently co-direct.
Teaching Interests
- Integrated coastal management
- Governance and governability
- Values and valuation
Research Interests
I am interested in interdisciplinary research that addresses issues related to interconnectivity and interdependency between natural and human systems. The main research topics are fisheries and ocean governance, resource sustainability and community development, integrated coastal management, ecosystem-based management, decision-making tools, and communicating sciences to policy makers and general public. In addition to Canada and Thailand, I also conduct research in other countries, including Cambodia, Mexico, Namibia, Scotland, South Africa and USA.
My current research projects include:
- Coastal connections: Interactive governance model for sustainable coastal development
- Reconceptualizing ecosystem complexity
- Unravelling the vicious circle: Poverty alleviatio and sustainability livelihoods in small-scale fisheries
- Chaning gears, chaning grounds
- Community-University Research for Recovery Alliance
- Integrating multiple demands on coastal zones using 'Coastal Transects Analysis Model' (CTAM)
- Global analysis of small-scale fisheries and their impacts on marine ecosystems
- Coastal fisheries of Latin America and the Caribbean: a synthesis of fisheries assessment and management

Home Style in Bellevue now has a sister store in Covington.
Michael Kelley and Russ Shirley stock lamps, dishes and other items found at estate sales and auctions, plus some new items.
"We try to say we're a mix between HomeGoods, Pier 1 and an antique store," Kelley said. "We try to keep it fun and inexpensive."
Located at 531 Madison, the new store, which opened about a month and a half ago, has a similar feel to, though it's a lot larger than, the Bellevue store.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine a relationship between a person's flora/bacteria in their gut (the intestinal microbiome) and their risk of cardiovascular disease. Investigators will look at inflammatory markers in the blood and also look at the genome of the bacteria in the gut.
This research is being done because Investigators believe that there is a connection between the way food is digested by a person's gut bacteria and the development of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and cardiovascular disease. The ultimate goal of this research is to eventually determine if changes to the gut bacteria can prevent cardiovascular disease or disease progression.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Anyone undergoing cardiac catheterization for suspected coronary artery disease over age 18.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients currently on long-term antibiotics who cannot stop them for at least 2 weeks prior to providing a stool sample.
2. Patients on chronic laxatives who cannot stop for at least 2 weeks prior to stool collection.
3. Patients who are unable to provide a stool sample to Mayo Clinic within 24 hours of collection via Fed Ex overnight mail.

John Romita's The Amazing Spider-Man: Artist's Edition in Stores February 1st!
- Written by SuperginraiX on Friday, January 27 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
At long last, John Romita's Spider-Man run gets the Artist's Treatment, courtesy of IDW and Marvel!
John Romita's The Amazing Spider-Man: Artist's Edition in Stores February 1st!
IDW and Marvel present classic stories, all scanned from original art
San Diego, CA (January 27, 2012)— JOHN ROMITA'S THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: ARTIST'S EDITION is the next book in the ongoing Artist's Edition series from IDW Publishing. Collecting six classic issues from Romita's stellar run on The Amazing Spider-Man, each and every page scanned from the original art and presented at full size, the same as it looked on Romita's drawing table.
"It's such a treat to put these books together and be able to get up close and see pages by great artists, like John Romita," said Artist's Editions Editor, Scott Dunbier "His work is so precise and clean, he is one of the true masters of the Silver Age of comics."
As Harry Knowles of Aintitcool.com wrote, "Track this puppy down–go down to your local comic shop and pre-order it. You don't want to try picking this up on the second hand market." John Romita's The Amazing Spider-Man: Artist's Edition is in stores on February 1st.
What is an Artist's Edition? Artist's Editions are printed the same size as the original art. While appearing to be in black & white, each page has been scanned in COLOR to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art—for example, you are able to clearly see paste-overs, blue pencils in the art, editorial notes, art corrections. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board.
Previous Artist's Editions include DAVE STEVENS' THE ROCKETEER: ARTIST'S EDITION and WALTER SIMONSON'S THE MIGHTY THOR: ARTIST'S EDITION. The ROCKETEER ARTIST'S EDITION won two Eisner Awards last year, for Best Archival Project and Best Design.
JOHN ROMITA'S THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: ARTIST'S EDITION ($100, hardcover, black and white, 152 pages,) will be available in stores in February. ISBN: 978-1-61377-144-0.

About the Author - SuperginraiX
SuperginraiX is the biggest sap on The Outhousers' payroll (wait, we get paid?). He reads every issue of every crappy Marvel crossover so you don't have to. Whats worse is that he pays for his books, thus condoning Marvel's behavior. If The Outhouse cared for his well being at all, they'd try and get him into some sort of rehab center. But, alas, none of us even know how to say his name. For a good time, ask Super why Captian America jumped off the Helicarrier in Fear Itself. Super lives in the frozen wastland that is Minnesota with 15% of the state's population living under his roof: a wife he makes wear an Optimus Prime mask, two gremlins, and his mother-in-law.

|Topic: Barlow's Barrouge
posted 06-26-2011 01:41 PM
I am glad you liked the Barlow Barrouge (which stands for Barr red). We are scheduled to do a group tasting with Barr Smith in October at von Strasser. I forget where Barr told us that he used to bottle his wines, but was going to switch to von Strasser which would also give him a place to do group tastings. As you know, the room at his home is quite small.
Tasting Barlow at von Strasser will also give us the opportunity to taste vS wines on the same trip. From there we will go to Reverie just down the road. Also, Mrs. Hawkeye and I will taste at Dyer and Diamond Terrace during the trip.
How am I doing on my recommendations?
By the way, I like Damombo's Room.

I like wine room. Lois and I have been talking about doing some work on the house and part of that may include a refresh of the kitchen and the possibility of a wine room. We'll see.
posted 06-25-2011 02:47 PM
Last night we opened a 2005 Barlow Barrouge - their blend of Cab, Merlot, Petite Verdot, and Cab Franc. We brought it home in April - it was our first visit to Barlow and we had tried it out after Hawkeye suggested it. Mr. D decanted it into the wine thermos that is legal on the lake (no glass of course) and we took our lovely acrylic wine glasses and headed out to watch the sunset. Got situated and poured the wine. Sorry, the nose is tough when using the acrylic glasses (at least for my nose) so I can't give you much there. But the mouth, oh the mouth! It was very happy Mr. D looked at me and said "Wow, I'm glad we have three more bottles in the wine walk-in closet!" (That's another story - what to call that room? Closet sounds too small, but cellar sounds absurd) Anyway, we loved this big, bold red - very jammy, like I like. Lots of dark fruit: blackberry, black cherry, dark current. The tannins are sooo smooth, the finish lush and lingering. And I got just a hint of anise - just a hint, though, which is good since I'm not a huge fan of anise

These blonde brownies, or blondies, are a sweet, super moist, treat. They are definitely one of our family's favorites. I know I truly enjoy them. Every bite is full of creamy white chocolate and pecans. These blondies never last more than a day or two in my house. I love them warm right out of the oven when the white chocolate is melted and gooey. The blondies are super moist and perfect with a tall glass of milk. My husband loves these blondies at room temperature when the middle is moist and the edges get a little crunchy. I am pretty sure after you make a batch of these blondies that they will disappear in a day or two also. You may also enjoy homemade brownies.
White Chocolate Blondies – I adapted this recipe from Miss Daisy Celebrates Tennessee cookbook by Daisy King. I added 2 cups of white chocolate chips and some vanilla to this original recipe.
- 2/3 cup butter (11 tablespoons)
- 1 16-ounce box light brown sugar (1 box equals 2 1/3 cups)
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla
- 2 3/4 cup cake flour (sometimes I substitute all-purpose flour for the cake flour). Measure the 2 3/4 cup cake flour and then take out 5 tablespoons to equal 2 3/4 cup cake flour. You will also need to sift the all-purpose flour 3 times to equal cake flour.
- Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat.
- Stir in the brown sugar.
- After the brown sugar and butter have cooled down, add the eggs one at a time.
- Sift the dry ingredients and add them to the butter, sugar, and egg mixture.
- Stir in by hand the vanilla, pecans, and white chocolate chips.
- Spread into a 9 x 13 greased baking dish.
- bake 325 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
- In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, stir in the brown sugar until incorporated and then remove the pan from the heat.
- Let this mixture cool.
- Using an electric mixer, add eggs one at a time.
- Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together and add to the sugar and egg mixture.
- Once everything has been incorporated, stir in by hand the white chocolate chips and the pecans.
- Put the mixture into a 13 x 9 baking dish that has been sprayed with a cooking spray.
- Bake 35 minutes at 325 degrees.
- Insert a toothpick in the center and be sure it comes out clean.

Staff and counselors are carefully selected for their interest in young people and their competence in dance and music. Counselors provide individual student supervision and are responsible for organizing group activities and pastimes. Housemothers are present at all times to look after the students and offer personal help or advice.
A large dormitory accommodates students and staff in single and double rooms. Roommates are assigned with attention to age and temperament. Requests for specific roommates will be considered. The directors reserve the right to make final assignments.
The dance studios are within walking distance of the residence space.
Well-balanced meals, supervised by an authorized dietitian, are served at regular hours in the nearby dining hall.
A list of equipment required for ballet classes and suggested wardrobe will be provided.
Our primary concern is the well being and safety of our students. Any personal injury, no matter how slight, must immediately be reported to the office. No student may leave the school premises without permission from a staff member or leave unchaperoned. BBC requires written permission from the parents for any individual outing outside of the school's activities. Students are held financially responsible for any damages to their rooms or college property through their actions or carelessness.
BBC maintains its own liability insurance. Mount Holyoke College shall not be liable for any loss of or damage to property in college buildings, properties or facilities.
It is our opinion that swimming and rest periods provide the necessary relaxation to sustain energy and a positive attitude in the classroom. Students are encouraged to attend Mount Holyoke College's Olympic-sized swimming pool daily (at assigned times under supervision). Occasional shopping trips to nearby Holyoke Mall take place on Saturday afternoons. Sunday excursions are planned to the Saratoga Performing Art Center, Jacob's Pillow and other sites of interest.
Written Essay
Students are encouraged to write an essay on a ballet topic of their choice. Weekly visits to the Holyoke Library are supervised by the Housemother. Three essays will be selected.
Talent Show
A camp tradition, the talent show scheduled during the first week of July. We urge students to participate and prepare for this event by bringing whatever is needed to perform (cassette, audio tapes, CD, costumes, etc.).
A party for July birthdays will follow the Talent Show.
Photo Competition
The three most outstanding photos showing the creativity and artistic sense of the student will be exhibited.
Talks are given by distinguished guests invited to the Center to meet the students. The talks provide BBC students with a unique opportunity to share in the insights of world renowned performers, dance historians and critics.
Past guests have included Shaun O'Brien, Selma Jeanne Cohen, Judith Fugate, Tamara Geva, Nancy Goldner, Doris Hering, Marion Horosko, Robert Johnson, Deborah Jowitt, Anna Kisselgoff, Regina Kunzle, Sondra Lee, Adam Luders, P.W. Manchester, Patricia McAndrew, Coleen Neary, Don McDonagh, Walter Terry, John Taras, Violette Verdy, Kate Keller, Kathy Van Patten and Robert Tracy.

Facebook App Tracks Others Who Have The Flu
Now there's a new Facebook app offering a special type of relief. It's being called the "Flu-Blue" app.
Bet You're Not Worried About It
Given our nice weather, flu is probably one of the last things are your mind. But … it is time to roll up your sleeve and get vaccinated. And as Dr. Dave Hnida reports, this year's flu season is expected to be a doozy. (A word you won't use if you are a victim.)

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina welcomes Simon Mignolet
6/24/13 in Soccer | SamuelWhale | 589 respect
Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has backed his new teammate Simon Mignolet. The shot-stopper arrives from Sunderland in a deal that could unsettle the future of Pepe Reina at Anfield. The Spaniard's future with the Reds is already in the mist as Liverpool could offload him during the summer transfer window.
Pepe Reina he will be available to Liverpool next season, but both parties have separate minds as to how the summer transfer window could see their long-standing understanding finally reach its breaking point.
The 30-year-old Spain international has been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona since last year. Now, the out of favor Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has handed in his transfer request, the La Liga champions are forced to search for a new goalkeeper.
Pepe Reina is an obvious top candidate on the list because the goalkeeper has been bred in Barcelona's youth academy and has attracted interest from the Catalan giants a couple of times during the past year.
The arrival Simon Mignolet could expel Pepe Reina as well. Simon Mignolet has recorded good form for club and country during the past year, which is why the 25-year-old Belgian goalkeeper attracted interest from Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Liverpool.
Simon Mignolet's arrival at Anfield provides Liverpool with a good excuse to lose Pepe Reina, who has a couple of Golden Glove awards for his amazing form in the past. The veteran is hoping to pick up his form again and cement his place in the first-team. Nonetheless, Pepe Reina did welcome Simon Mignolet in good spirits.
"It has not changed a bit," Pepe Reina said about his decision to leave Liverpool. "I have said it many times, I'm very comfortable and very happy at Liverpool."
"Every team needs competitors, and when it's positive, it is more than welcome. If it is finally done, I'll welcome him a lot and anything he needs, I'm here," Pepe Reina said on Simon Mignolet's arrival.
It will be interesting to see who Brendan Rodgers picks in the starting game of the season.

Election Cake
- Yield 10-14 servings
- Prep 30 mins
- Cook 30 mins
This rich spice cake was a British tradition from the early 1700s, when Election Day was a festive occasion.
There are many forms of election cake, and they include all shapes and sizes. The common theme is dense and sweet cake with a melange of spices.
- 1 package dry active yeast (.25 ounce)
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed and divided
- 3/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk, warmed and divided
- 2 cups all purpose flour, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Combine yeast, 1 teaspoon brown sugar and 1/4 cup warm milk in a small bowl. Stir and let stand 5 minutes or until yeast begins to foam.
- Combine 1 cup flour, remaining brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a large mixing bowl. Add egg, butter, remaining milk and yeast mixture. Stir until flour is moistened. Add remaining flour and beat until well blended. Beat in raisins. Mixture will be thick.
- Turn into a greased 8-by-4-inch loaf pan; smooth top. Cover lightly with a towel and let rise in a warm place 11/4 hours or until batter rises to top of pan.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Pour melted butter over batter, spread gently with rubber spatula and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake 30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on rack.

Makeupbox takes on Katy Perry!
(Oh My and Ka-Pow lash reviews, plus a quick tutorial for a bright eyeshadow look that can stand up to huge lashes)
I think Katy Perry has a really fun and out-there style. It's sometimes borderline tacky, but let's face it; she's so hot she can get away with many things that would be faux pas on others.
So of course, when it came time to pick among the numerous lash designs bearing her name, I picked the 2 that I felt were dramatic and the least "normal"-looking. ("Normal" meaning "this shape is sold by 10,000 other brands and it's no point reviewing it again".) If you are going to shell out for Katy Perry lashes, no point buying a shape that Red Cherry does for under $2.
Full, dense, double-stacked lashes. (These are 2 strips of lashes laid on top of one another.) Super thick and dramatic.
- Girls, these are some kuh-raaazzzy lashes! They're so dense I felt like I was wearing 2 sun-visors on top of my lids and my world went 2 shades darker. ("Who turned off the lights???")
- These lashes will cast a huge shadow over your eyes. They might look kinda sorta cute in the image at the top of the post, but if you have smaller eyes, or want to widen them, DO NOT - I repeat - DO NOT - buy these. Like any huge, thick lashes, they can make your eyes look droopy and overwhelmed instead of larger and brighter.
- The lash band is super thick and stiff because of the double-stacking, although Eylure was pretty good at making them as malleable as possible. STILL, they're not the easiest things to apply, and without a super-strong glue, you will struggle with keeping these on all day.
Purple tipped criss-cross wispies meant to bring out brown and hazel eyes. (There are versions for blue/grey/green eyes called Ka-Ching and Ka-Boom, but these aren't available in Asia.)
- Now THESE I really like and will re-use. They're dramatic but not too dramatic.
- The purple does nothing to bring out my dark brown eyes. As you can see in the image, all it looks like is black. I'm not sure if you'll have better luck with lighter brown or hazel eyes.
- That said, the color at the tips really helps to soften the look of the lashes and keeps them looking wispy and pretty even though they are so long.
I'd definitely go for the Ka-Pows (or Ka-Ching/Ka-Boom depending on what color tips you want). The Oh Mys are WAY too thick and looked kinda tacky on my eyes. I don't mind the length and shape, but it was just the density that was a bit much.
Possibly good if you're trying to shield your eyes from glaring lights or you're going to a costume party as a doll, but otherwise, it has a tendency to weigh the eyes down and make them look small and dull.
Simple Bright Eye Look for Wearing Huge Falsies With
You don't necessarily need to wear much eye makeup when you're wearing very big and dramatic lashes. Especially if you have a very small space between your eyes and brows, you might be better off leaving out the eye makeup or keeping it very soft and neutral.
BUT if you are looking for big impact and want some color, remember you'll need to bring it a little higher, to your socket line, or it will be hidden by the lashes.
Step 1: Simply buff a deep chocolate brown (Coastal Scents Dark Chocolate) on outer half of the lids, not going up beyond the hollow of the socket line.
Step 2: On the inner half of the lids, blend a pale creamy beige, Coastal Scents Nude, and buff slightly into the darker brown.
Step 3: Along the socket line, use a fluffy brush to apply a bright medium blue, Lime Crime's Nautilus Prime, from the Aquataenia Palette. Make sure to soften out the tops of the blue and fade towards the brow.
Step 4: Finish by creating a dark base for your lash band to go over. I simply ran a little black pencil (Maybelline Master Drama in Midnight Drama) along the lash line and then smudged it out slightly with a cotton bud so it would be smoky.
Now you're ready to curl your lashes and apply your falses!

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The shades of night were falling fast,
As through an Alpine village passed
A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice,
A banner with the strange device,
His brow was sad; his eye beneath,
Flashed like a falchion from its sheath,
And like a silver clarion rung
The accents of that unknown tongue,
In happy homes he saw the light
Of household fires gleam warm and bright;
Above, the spectral glaciers shone,
And from his lips escaped a groan,
One morning he awoke in a cold sweat. His alarm was buzzing…buzzing…buzzing right next to his ear. His body shot straight up, and he sat there upright for what seemed like hours. The usual bleariness was absent from his eyes; however, his mind was cloudy. The dream had left him clearly rattled, even as he was still trying to remember it.
It started coming to him, piece by piece. He stared at the wall facing the foot of the bed, and upon its off-white surface the images of his dream shone as if projected through a vintage lens. The first thing recognizable was an umbrella, solid red with a bold white stripe around the center. Fading in behind the umbrella was a mishmash of colors that started brown, transitioned to tan, and then bolted for deep azure. With movement and a low roar of sound, the setting became clear: he was at the beach.
As that revelation washed across his face, a figure came into focus. A woman whom he'd seen somewhere before but did not know headed toward him. He sat under his umbrella and sipped his clichéd hurricane. Strangely, he couldn't taste anything, but it kept his mouth occupied, too busy to try and mince words with this ravishing creature. If he didn't have the straw already in his mouth, his foot would inevitably find its way there. It didn't matter anyway; words were not important now.
For some reason, he fell in her path. For some reason, she walked up to the empty chair next to him and sat down, her brunette tresses flipped up and back as she settled herself. She looked at him and just smiled – white, perfect teeth galore. Words were never exchanged, only warm feelings were felt as the sun melted into the horizon and the orange of dusk melded with the thickening navy of nightfall. The stars twinkled above, winking and blinking toward the couple. One sat in contentment. The other sat in wonderment. It was pure bliss, the closest they would get to heaven.
She was happy to just be, while he was happy to dream. It was then a soft wave of music enveloped them. Edith Piaf singing a hymn to love, while magically romantic and appropriate, shattered the façade. And the artifice of his dream was made painfully apparent to him.
As he sat in the beach chair, the water around his feet turned blisteringly cold, and his eyes stung from the piercing wind. The umbrella popped out of joint and danced away, down the shoreline. He looked across the horizon and saw flashes of lightning, pulsing and arcing in perfect rhythm to Piaf's weary belts.
The storm grew closer and far more violent. He realized he didn't have much time. With his eyes on the clouds, he finally spoke, "Shall we take cover or shall we cast our fates to the wind?" In the moment, it was a dashing sentiment, but one unfortunately that, like a lonely, fallen tree in the woods, never made a sound.
He turned to look for a response, but she was gone. He cursed himself, the second thing he'd said all day. What had he waited for? What was he dreaming about? He was literally living the dream; all he had to do was engage.
She had gone in an instant. He didn't know what hit him. She was gone, and he was sad. At that point, the storm raged above him, Piaf's wails were more moving to him now than they ever were before. At that moment, his own safety didn't matter. He couldn't care less what happened to him. He raised his arms wide and high and invited what came next.
A quick flash! And he was sitting upright in his bed, a cold sweat soaking him.

Go to college. Just go. It's where you'll learn how to be, how not to be, and how to set booby traps in the shower so your roommate stops using your expensive shampoo.
Learn how to apologize sincerely.
Eye contact is major. Get into it.
Talking crap about people sometimes feels good (just admit it), but tastes bad. It's the opposite of eating McDonald's.
If it hurts, don't wear it. At some point the pain will show.
Learn how to wear lipstick and werk.
The day you look dumb in the grocery store at 7:19 in the morning is also the day you run into that duuude you don't want to run into, and his stupid-hot-at-7:19-in-the-morning girlfriend. Don't worry. You're buying kale and olive oil. At least you can cook.
Overdress, always. Unless it's heels in a park… that doesn't work.
In every situation, consider the likelihood of skinny-dipping. Act accordingly.
Check out your hair from behind… yea… you've got a whole situation going on back there.
Exfoliate: your kitchen, your shower, your carpets, and your body.
Find out what color dress/shirt/lipstick makes your eyes pop. Buy a lot of it.
Never ever ever ever EVER ever ever take your shoes off in the club.
If you feel a deep need to take your shoes off in the club, walk your butt outside, get in a cab, and go home. Game over.
No one keeps secrets. Remember this when you're telling you're people all your business.
Life is not fair. That fact is profoundly frustrating. My Mom taught me this… dang was she right.
Don't wait for some dumb boy to give you closure. You give yourself closure. That's real. Tie that mess right on up. Buy ice cream if necessary.
Sometimes it's not fate, or a sign… but just a coincidence.
You are not inherently patient. It's an exercise.
Learn how to do something exceptionally well. Never apologize for that. Step up.
Watch Inception as many times times as you need to. Joseph Gordon-Levitt floats and Juno flips walls… It's just a whole thing.
Learn how to make cookies.
Frozen peas, unfrozen, can be a meal.
Kittens grow up to be cats. That's when things get a little scary.
Don't be that girl, in any and all situations. Unless that girl is the awesome girl passing the boards… then you should totally be that girl. I'm talking to you Andrea.
If a girls says she "just doesn't really get along with other girls" that means that she's probably not that nice to other girls… I'm just sayin'.
Ladies should be kinder to one another. Teamwork, ladies!
Never be early for a party… unless you plan on helping. By helping I mean, pouring tequila shots.
Being fourteen sucks and there's absolutely no way around it.
Being thirty one does not suck unless you think it sucks for some reason.
Sometimes you go to restaurants and you just don't get what you want. It's cool, just get ice cream on the way home.
Just admit that you're watching My Big American Gypsy Wedding because you're completely obsessed and you really need to talk about it with someone.

Shailene Woodley in Proenza Schouler. Just…. thank you for changing. Thank you.
Claire Danes in Valentino. No words except stunning. STUNNING.
Elizabeth Olsen in pre-fall Christian Dior. Not a huge fan to be honest and usually I am a huge fan of Elizabeth Olsen and everything she chooses to be. I loved the pre-fall no sleeves look so I just feel the sleeves on Elizabeth made the dress look a little unflattering and too covered up for someone so young and beautiful.
Felicity Jones in Johanna Johnson. It's not uncommon for Felicity to show up to events in black so when I saw her in a black leather Johanna Johnson dress I wasn't surprised. I think her casual hair makes the overall look look unfinished, but somehow Felicity still pulls it off and she looks so beautiful, ugh love her.
Although I would have loved to see her in a gown, only Sofia Coppola could wear a Yves Saint Laurent jumpsuit to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and pull it off to some degree. No one else could do that. No one else I say.
Emma Stone in Chanel Couture on the left and Giambattista Valli Couture on the right. I was actually a supporter of Emma Stone in Valli and really loved the dress on her when she showed up, but now seeing her in Chanel Couture I'm singing a totally different tune. Compared to the Chanel Couture the Valli—despite the bold color—ages her and covers her up too much while the sheer bottom of the Chanel Couture that gives a peekaboo to her legs is so young and perfect on her.
Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad. Not surprised by the low V at all, but the deep shade suits her so well that I can't help but love this on her. I wasn't a fan of her Oscar dress at all, but this was a great change that you can't do anything else but stare ugh.
January Jones in Wes Gordon. Lots of mixed feelings about this just because I have yet to fully recover from January wearing Versace at the 2011 Golden Globes, sorry I'm not sorry.
Lily Collins in Monique Lhuillier. Flawless. All of it. Forever. Staring at it until my eyes roll out of my skull. Crying.
(via ladymusings)
Kate Bosworth in Prabal Gurung. The Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 show was one of my favorites (I'd be lying if I said I didn't die over the gown that looked like pure liquid gold and had the perfect slit). Naturally Kate Bosworth killed it in one of my favorite Prabal Gurung dresses from the collection. Her slicked back hair was a great touch and it let the dress show itself, ugh can't get over it.
Elizabeth Banks|2012 Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Elizabeth Banks|2012 Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Elizabeth Banks in Chadwick Bell. Speechless. Why wasn't she on the carpet, I mean really! They had Jennifer Lopez and her boobs make an appearance, but they couldn't have Elizabeth Banks looking like a beautiful mermaid?!
Zoe Saldana in Marios Schwab. When I looked through his collection and saw this dress I kept thinking "This better pop up somewhere, this better pop up somewhere" and it did! And on who better than Zoe Saldana? With soft waves, beautiful dark eyes, and a red lip she looks flawless.
- No one
Wow Jean Dujardin won Best Actor. I'm totally surprised, oh my god, didn't see that coming.

Having to go on a GLUTEN FREE diet can be overwhelming for some. We have found that some of the most common questions we get are... What am I going to do about Bread? What GF Breads are the best? Do GF Breads taste good? What about Pasta? I can remember having those same questions and concerns when we first set out on our GF quest. I felt lost and overwhelmed, knowing that I had a hungry family to feed. And, the BIG concern was are they going to like it.I am so thankful for companies like Udi's … [Read more...]

Gluten Free Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes. I remember one Classroom party in particular. I was in the 6th grade and it was one of my classmates birthday.

How to make a Hot Air Balloon Applique
How to make a Hot Air Balloon Applique. Applique is one of my favorite things to do. I love being able to create an image or picture, out of piecing fabric together. There is something so Fun and Challenging about it. When the kids were smaller I use to Applique practically everything they wore. I find myself doing it less and less these days. So piecing this Hot Air Balloon together was a lot of fun. Applique is a lot like putting together a puzzle. Maybe that's why I like it so much, I LOVE … [Read more...]

So Bioware released Platinum difficulty today and me and few friends of mine decided to see just how evil it was. Now note that at least three of us are Silver regulars who on occasion will touch Gold. We're not really that high up there yet on skill.
We decided to see how difficult it was through the Geth Farming map as we thought that be a good starting point. We managed to finish and get a full Extraction on the second try.
Even if it was "the farming map", we were all pretty happy to actually get through a Platinum. We'll probably never touch it again until we can walk on water through Gold XD. I honestly had a lot of fun doing it though, ngl.
Oh wow, congratulations! My team and I couldn't make it past Wave 9 on Firebase Rio and I could honestly use some tips on how to complete Platinum. Started equipping my Infiltrators with long + short range weapons for the first time ever and I think that helped a bit ;_;

Sun Rises on New Version of Sunset Aviation
The owners of Sunset Aviation, the charter/management company sold to JetDirect Aviation in May 2007, have formed a new company called Sunset Aviation LLC. The new Sunset expects to receive its FAA Part 135 certificate within a week or 10 days, according to primary shareholder and CEO Dan Drohan, and should grow from 30 aircraft currently to near 50 by the end of next month and add authorization for 10-or-more-seat jets in about 90 days. Based in Petaluma, Calif., the new Sunset Aviation LLC has also hired former JetDirect Aviation president Jake Cartwright, as well as other former JetDirect personnel. Drohan said Sunset Aviation LLC "is smaller, leaner and not leveraged," which will help the company attract the right employees and succeed in an economy that has had a dramatic negative effect on the charter business. "It's been a rough couple of years," he said. "What we have here and what we want to build, Jake identifies with." Cartwright retired from JetDirect Aviation late last month. JetDirect Aviation was supposed to sell Sunset Aviation back to its owners by the end of February, but that transaction has not yet concluded.

People keep hyping this show up, so I need to start watching it. It always came on at the same time as Burn Notice, which is my guilty pleasure. Now that the newest season of Burn Notice is over, I should give this show a look.
Also, fucking so great Reed turned it to "Sploosh" for Archer.
No, don't, don't cut my hair, Ned loves my hair.
i saw the first season last weekend and fell madly in love. This is exactly my type of humor, each episode had me cracking up more than the last. Ive never seen Frisky Dingo but have heard great things

A Tiny Cocktail Trend In America?
Why in god's name would anyone want a 7oz+ martini? I'm a big martini drinker but once it starts to get warm, it's game over. yuck.
Wedding at restaurant - tipping question
We did basically exactly this when we got married (Oct 12 last year, similar date!) There were 110 people in attendance and we did a sat night buyout. We had 3 bartenders, 2 waiters/runners, a hostess/doorperson and the manager there plus I think 3 people in the kitchen.
There was a 20% gratuity built into the price of the buyout, which was no joke and we asked if it was split evenly through the staff when we signed the contract. It was, except for the manager who refused a tip (but seemed to have a really fun time, actually, they kept the place open for us an extra hour after the time we paid for and the kitchen staff came and hung out with a cocktail!)
We did not suggest tipping and made it clear that we had everything covered, however many of our guests tipped the bartenders. Based on what I saw, they probably got a pretty penny- most people laid down $3-5 a drink at first (the drinks at this place retail for about $14, so they tipped accordingly) and then scaled to $1-2 moving on from there.
That said, we had a LOT of industry folks in attendance and they tip for basically everything as a good-will effort. YMMV but I would ask how the gratuity is split and then would tip out accordingly. The runners and kitchen staff worked their butts off for us and I'm glad they got paid to do so!
Also, we sent thank-you notes to the resto and named as many folks as we could remember, and have always been greeted warmly when we've visited since. I would recommend that as a kind gesture- people like getting cards!

Eastern North Carolina style barbeque in NYC???
I'm going to agree with you here- I grew up in Wilmington NC and Quinn's tastes way too sweet to me (more like TN bbq.) Maybe it's just a personal preference, though.
Good non-toxic, grain-free things for a puppy who is teething to chew on?
Be careful with the Kongs- my maltese mix is a serious chewer, and at the rip-old age of 6 months was able to DESTROY the puppy kongs. And I mean totally destroy- he ripped them apart and was working on eating the rubber pieces when I caught him. We moved on to the "tough chewer" (black) models which took him a mere few days to shred.
In short, if you can monitor the pup, kongs are amazing. But be careful- they're not as indestructible as they purport!

Unheralded Brooklyn Restaurants
Lot 2 is my favorite "unknown" restaurant. My husband and I eat there a few times a month and have never had a bad meal. It is NOT a good place if you're sensitive to salt, though...

What would YOU make with this? Malibu and Ciroc Red Berry
What would you make if you had a party coming up and your wife was forcing you to get rid of 3/4 bottle of malibu rum and a bottle of circoc red berry? Because this is exactly what I am telling my husband.
We were gifted both bottles and they've been sitting forever. They seem like maybe a good mix for generic punch, and my husband says he's going to "wing it," but last time he did this it took him almost an hour of reblending to make something tasty (after over-habanero-ing the tequila and making something incredibly spicy!)
We also have 5 lbs of limes, 10 lbs of lemons and an industrial juicer. I'm wondering if we should go with something more pineapple/orange based...
We had guests raving over a white, peach-based sangria with whole vanilla beans a few years ago, but I believe that called for vodka. We generally have pretty good drinks at our parties and I'd prefer to not turn this into frat-party jungle-juice, so I turn to you fine folks. What large-batch would YOU make?
What sides should I make for my annual crab boil?
This is great and I can use my mandolin to whip this up quickly, I think!
Jun 30, 2014CarmenR in Home Cooking
What sides should I make for my annual crab boil?
It would be if we actually served it like a meal, but its more like a giant, roving 8 hour long garden party where we do two batches of boil but then people obv want to eat in between. Plus, let's be honest, those crabs have only a teenytiny amount of meat in them. They're really not even my scene, but people love them and they're cheap enough!
Jun 26, 2014CarmenR in Home Cooking
What sides should I make for my annual crab boil?
funny you should mention that, I actually made a summer orzo salad yesterday! I could def double the recipe- I love using orzo for those salads since it's so small volume-wise.
Jun 26, 2014CarmenR in Home Cooking
What sides should I make for my annual crab boil?
I do! I get supermarket coleslaw for authenticity sake (growing up in NC we didn't *do* gourmet slaw!)
We do usually have bread as someone generally brings roughly 5 lbs of cheese...
What sides should I make for my annual crab boil?
Ooo this is a good idea! I always forget about fennel and am surprised by how much I like it. Do you have a specific recipe you like?
What sides should I make for my annual crab boil?
Hounds, flex your creative muscles!
My husband and I are getting ready for our third annual crab boil for 4th of July, and I need some ideas of new sides to make. This is a potluck, so we always end up with a ton of random stuff from steaks and hotdogs and frito pie to kalbi "sushi" and peach cobbler. Usually, I make the following:
crab boil (which has potatoes and shrimp and veggies and all that normal junk)
This year, I have more time leading up to the actual day so I'd like to make some more exciting stuff, however we have a few limitations.
So basically I'm looking for some interesting, make ahead, doesn't-need-to-sit-on-a-tray types of dishes. We expect about 45 people, but it doesn't need to feed that many.
What would YOU like to eat at a crabboil!?

What are you baking these days? June 2014 edition, part 2! [OLD]
Ah fair enough. I should have been more specific- I don't think I'd try to do a loaf or a bundt in a cake pan at all because the recipe size is generally different (I could be wrong there!) I actually have a bundt and a couple of loaf pans for bread baking, just the regular old cake pans are notably absent! Thanks for the comment :)

What are you baking these days? June 2014 edition, part 2! [OLD]
Yup it's a 9". Since we're on the topic, can you think of a cake that could NOT be baked in a springform instead of a normal cake pan? I'm trying to improve my cake baking and will hopefully be trying a bunch of recipes this summer...

What are you baking these days? June 2014 edition, part 2! [OLD]
This is potentially a *really* stupid question, but I don't actually have a round cake pan (and I'm 100x maxed out on kitchen space,)... can a springform pan work for a cake like this? I have a springform gathering dust and I'd rather not buy yet another pan...

I think everyone here needs to lighten up a bit. What if this thread had been "Food Porn for Significant Other/Partner Bait"? Would that have made everyone less hurt? I didn't read this as sexist at all- my husband cooks as much as I do, and cooked as many meals when we were dating as I did.

My husband says he knew he would marry me when I made him linguine with clams for the first time when we were "just friends" 5 or 6 years ago. That dish was included in our wedding vows. I think I sealed the deal with the roasted chicken a few weeks later.
He's a pretty good cook as well, but I enjoy making dinner and usually have more time. He still requests the linguine with clams anytime I ask him what he wants me to make to celebrate something, which I don't mind because it is THE easiest dish ever.

Lavender - Use Leaves or Flowers?
I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to see if anyone has success cooking with the fresh leaves? I wanted to try to make a lavender glaze for a poundcake I'm making and I have two decent-sized plants in my garden, but neither of them have flowers. Thoughts? Considering that lavender SUGAR is a thing, there's very few recipes around for a glaze... most of what I'm seeing includes the flowers in the baked good, but not the glaze so I'm wondering if there's a reason for that.

My husband and I must be the outliers- we have eaten at Marco's three times- twice for dinner and once for brunch. All three times we have been completely underwhelmed, especially for the price. The first time we went (about a month after it opened) our meal was almost $200 pre-tip and out of the 8ish plates we tried, we both only liked one.
We are both huge fans of Franny's food (NOT the snarky hostess) and used to go about once a month, so we were really let down when Marco's failed to deliver. I will say that the service at Marco's has been pretty good, in our experience.

Rehearsal dinner for 20 in Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill/Boerum Hill?
Check out Rucola- we were going to have our wedding lunch there but we ended up having too many people for a reservation, and too few for a buyout (we had 28 people and I THINK the max was 20.) Food is great and its super cute.

Frankies is going to be more than $40pp
lot 2 does not for small groups, but you can call ahead for seating (ie- calling when you're 10 minutes away to be put in the list.) There's not usually too much of a wait, though.
Lot 2!! Hidden gem- we've been going once a month for years and never had a bad meal

Best whole wheat bread recipe (kitchenaid a plus!)
could be partial. I really have no preference, I'm just looking for a decent recipe. The google yields many results, but they seem to have varying success rates...

Best whole wheat bread recipe (kitchenaid a plus!)
Subject says it all- looking for your best whole-wheat bread recipe and, if you'd be so kind, your fave whole wheat flour as well. I'm finding bags from $3 to $9 and I'd love to know if there's a tangible difference...
As an aside, I have a kitchenaid with the traditional dough hook and I'd love to utilize that if at all possible!

Ramps are $36 a pound at Fairway.
if you dont mind, do you recall how much the asparagus was?
Your first story echos what happened to me. Removed the pan with potholders, turned around to wash my hand, then immediately went back and grabbed the handle to put the pan in the sink. It was about 20 seconds after it came out of the oven. Ouch.

Invest in yourself: Add value to you
Your investing helps your ability to teach others. You can share what you learn and bring value to others. You become an expert in your "tribe."
3. Investing in yourself helps your career
When you invest in yourself it helps your career in two significant ways. It increases your value to your employer because your skillset grows. Maybe more importantly, it increases your earning potential over your peers, who only receive the company funded training. This translates into you becoming a more valuable asset and deserving of increased responsibility, resulting in increases in job titles and compensation.
4. Investing in yourself helps your business
Should you choose, or be forced, to become an entrepreneur, the asset that is your talent is transferrable. When you invest in yourself, your understanding of your corporate business environment improves. You are better positioned to run your own business. You not only know what you know, but more important, you know more of what you don't know and will have the mindset to hire people to help you, rather than try to carry the entire load yourself. You will see hiring help as an investment, not an expense. Your breadth of knowledge will help you develop new ideas for your business and will increase your chances of financial success.
Bob realized that, had he not been trying to get better on the cheap, his career might very well have advanced more like Karl's. With another 20 years left in his career, he vowed to see personal training as an investment in himself, rather than as an expense.
Invest in yourself; Add Value to You
Learning doesn't stop with your formal education. Continue to read, take classes and invest in your talents. Your talent is your best asset. It is portable and it can't be taxed or confiscated.
Investing in yourself is the best investment you can make.
