Please help me continue to write new books, write new blog posts, and keep this site ad-free:
I am Wayland Skallagrimsson. I am a member of the Asatru faith,
and a priest of Odin. I have worked with the runes and with Odin in one
way or another since I was sixteen. I have been involved in Norse style
religion for decades. I have been practicing the berserkergang for over
ten years.
Uppsala was a great heathen temple located in Sweden. While our heathen ancestors usually chose places of worship that were outdoors, such as groves or springs, towards the end of the paleopagan days they also built structures to hold great rituals in. When the temple at Uppsala became occupied by Christians in the twelfth century, it was the symbolic end of the old paleopagan faith.
I have created this website as a devotional act to my gods, in partial payment for all the many things they have done for me, and given to me. I provide within content concerning the history of the Asatru faith, and also a description of it in modern times. Holy days, and ancient practices associated with them are listed. An essay on my patron, Odin, is also within, as is a description of the practices, ancient and modern, of the Odinic mystery cult known as the Berserkergang. Other essays accompany them.
I have named this online temple Uppsala in honor of the temple that was, in honor of the time we find ourselves in now: the renaissance of our people. I hope you get some use from it, as well as some enjoyment.

A Study of Asatru in the Modern World
Price: $17.99
Paperback, 220 pages
Published November 2013
Available on Amazon.com
Heathenry is a comprehensive look at Northern Tradition religions in the modern world. Intended as more than just another "Asatru 101" book, Heathenry delves into ancient history, specialist heathen paths, and the deeper issues surrounding religious devotion. Consideration is given to obscure aspects of gods both well-known and those almost unknown. The nine noble virtues are discussed in depth, as a set of values relevant to the modern world. The runes are uniquely approached as a native system of heathen spiritual development. A summary and concordance of the Eddas is provided, with a comprehensive list of every god, every significant story, every reference to old world religious practices, and where in the Eddas each one can be found.

A collection of the myths, folklore, and folk tales of the ancient Norse and Germanic gods and spirits that have arisen since the Conversion.

Way in the Modern World
Price: $11.99
Paperback, 88 pages
Published October 2013
Available on Amazon.com
Odin's Way in the Modern World is a meditation on the Odinic path from one who has been dedicated to this god for decades. Beginning with such topics as Odin's heiti (or names), his relationship with women, and his never-ending quest for knowledge and power, the text delves into the hardships of serving Odin and the author's own long-term personal relationship with this complex deity. Drawing on examples from history and saga, he examines what being an Odinist meant to the ancient heathens, and then suggests how those who worship him now must adapt these core values to modern times, just as the god himself has changed over time. The book concludes with a series of runic poems in honor of the many aspects of Odin.
|Scientific Magic
Price: $14.99
Paperback, 138 pages
Published May 2014
Available on Amazon.com
Recent discoveries in the fields of neurobiology and psychology have opened up new avenues of exploration into and explanation of the practice of magic, a field hitherto resistant to scientific analysis, due to the highly subjective nature of its practices. Scientific Magic presents hypotheses to explain the particular claims made by magicians as to the effectiveness of their rituals, as well as why such practices continue even in rational, materialistic societies skeptical and dismissive of them. The author presents traditional magical lore side by side with scientific explanations for that lore, as well as analyses of relevant philosophical issues. The book also provides a course of instruction designed to take the student through basic initiation in the practices of magic and further to proficiency in them. Using his own experiences as well as those of other practicing magicians as a data pool, Skallagrimsson presents two traditional systems of magical practice – runic and cabalistic – from two rather different cultures, and compares them for the purpose of finding commonalities that would indicate the presence of real, analyzable phenomena, divorced from simple cultural prejudices and superstitions.

I've been making a push to get things really ramped up again and make some progress for summer (kids will want to go to the pool sooner than I want to think about).
One of the things that struck me was how much sodium was in the foods that I was eating more of. In particular, I've been eating quite a bit of lowfat cottage cheese and canned chicken/tuna. A cup of cottage cheese has around 900mg sodium, a big "Costco-sized" can of chicken that I can eat in one sitting has around 1000mg sodium, and even a regular sized can of tuna has around 360mg sodium. I know that fresh is better on the chicken and fish so I do try to prepare food ahead of time when I can--the cans are just extremely convenient since I can have a supply at work and whip up a quick lunch or snack.
So my question is, what's everyone's thoughts on how much sodium is too much?
Note: I don't have blood pressure issues (I'm actually on the pretty low side) and I tend to drink a ton of water.

Secret Seafood Sauce: mayo + water?
I saw Bayliss do this on one if his PBS shows (IIRC something about a street vendor food cart at the beach), and I thought I also read it on one of these boards, but could not find it again.
You just take a couple of big spoons of mayo and add water until it becomes like heavy cream. Boy, was it good not to mention simple. It is one of the best 'secret' recipes I have stumbled onto in quite a while.
We had some baked salmon. Kraft mayo + water + a few fresh oregano leaves. Also, we tried a mexican hot sauce and some fresh ground pepper instead of oregano. I now have a 'standard' seafood/fish sauce for this summer.
I can see also sorts of possibilites: add whatever flavor, herb, spice is at hand. Funny thing, it does not taste like mayo anymore. It is rich and creamy but not overly so, with just a faint hint of acid.
Kind of reminded me of Whisky Sauce. Back home we eat Whisky sauce with shrimp, all it is is Ketchup, myo and a shot of whisky. Needs to look light pink, very tasty!
I like to use lemon juice instead of water. Very lemony and creamy. Great on fish, and FABULOUS with steamed artichokes - though I use less liquid in this case. Any herb addition is a plus (tarragon is my favorite, if I have it). It's about the only time I eat mayo anymore, and it's worth keeping a jar around for! (Though, personally, I prefer Hellman's over Kraft - I love the eggy taste.)
re: AnneInMpls
Yes! This is my standard dip for crab, lobster, artichokes -- just mayo with plenty of lemon, till it's pretty runny. I'll have to dry an herb addition.
re: AnneInMpls
For cold leftover salmon mayo with lemon juice or mayo with mustard really hits the spot! For warm cooked salmon I prefer just a little butter and lemon juice.
Simple variations I add:
1. finely chopped canned chipotles and lime juice:
2. Sesame oil, and hot chile pepper powder
3. Cilantro chutney
4. Wasabi
re: hannaone
I'm thinking adding garlic/chili paste would be good too. How did I ever miss the mayo-water trick? Although I do a "cheater's" ailoi....mayo, lemon juice, pressed garlic which I thought was my own invention until recently.
re: hannaone
I recently bought some of this season's Grade B maple syrup in Vermont....
I wonder......better not get too carried away, huh?
re: Gio
I dunno. I had the same thought about black strap molasses and really fatty, 'junk' fish (spanish mackeral, saba) that have been grilled with lots of black edges, like I had in Hawaii a few years ago. There are some recipes for salmon that use a glaze that includes honey or maple syrup.
re: jerry i h
Yes, I frequently use maple syrup as a glaze for salmon and as an ingredient for marinades, but mixed with mayo? I dunno. Of course I'll try it and see.... Black strap molasses, hmm... my mother used that as a health food.
re: Sam Fujisaka
i agree with sam , mix with yogurt - honey, maple syrup, mollasess, dark agave - any of the above - smear on fish and grill - particularly oil tasting fish - like bluefish..amazing on salmon - i made a "glaze" of yogurt,dark agave, and very ripe avocado, soy and rice wine vinegar - so good - avocado acts much like mayo would
One of my favorite sushi restos uses a no fat mayo / sesame oil concoction that they pour over a few of their creations. One of my favorites, aburiyaki le, is a nigiri with green asparagus and torched salmon on top, then drizzled with that dressing and topped with sesame seeds ---- yowza.
re: linguafood
Hmm... I'm trying to parse the phrase "no fat mayo / sesame oil concoction" and having trouble. It can't be "no fat (mayo / sesame oil)" because oil is by definition fat. But how can it be "(no fat mayo) / sesame oil" when mayo is pretty much nothing but oil plus egg?
You can go a step in a different direction - cook the fish with the mayo. Saveur had a recipe a year or so ago in which you basically very lightly coat fish with soy sauce, let sit 20 min. or so, put in a baking dish, spread mayo over & bake. Initially it just seemed too..something, but I decided to try it and it is really delicious. If I was teaching a novice how to cook fish I'd start there. It is very forgiving, fish stays moist as can be & tastes wonderful. No one would ever guess what the secret ingredient is!
This is now my "go to" recipe when I have fish but feel utterly drained of energy - and sometimes I make it even when I'm feeling perky!
re: meatn3
Back in the 70's, there was a great recipe for fish filets coated with mayo, then rolled in wheat germ (or other starchy breading) and baked. It was truly wonderful! Of course it was tasty, with all that heart-stopping mayo. I've though of trying it with Greek-style yogurt in place of the mayo, but you can never go home again...
re: AnneInMpls
I remember chicken dishes like that in the '70's! I need to try this with Vegenaise. I use it in place of mayo quite a bit, but I'm not sure how it would do heated.
re: AnneInMpls
Try eggplant slices schmeared with mayo then rolled in seasoned panko crumbs.....then layer as for eggplant parm. Yummmmm!!!!
re: meatn3
Anytime we grill mahi mahi or similar type of fish, we smear it with mayo first. Does not taste like mayo, just tastes awesome!
I add some softened (in boiling water) saffron to the mix. Great color and flavor. Some paprika as well.
I agree - mixing it with lots of lemon or lime juice - to a quite loose consistency, and then chucking in a large handfull of dill - perfect for a pasta salade made with cheese filled tortellonis/raviollis and seafood like shrimp og crayfishtails and veggies...
I didn't use water, but will try it in the future. Last night I had some crab cakes, and mixed light mayo plus Fischer & Wieser Sweet, Sour & Smokey Mustard Sauce. It was yummy!
re: saragro
Instead of ketchup on things, I put a teaspoon of mayo mixed with sofrito on say, a cheesesteak, spread on the roll. It's a lot better than one would think.
Fresh squeezed lemon juice, tomato sauce thinned out, and chopped cilantro. This is particularly good on white fish fillets (I like tilapia) baked with this sauce on top. YUM!
I use a Japanese Mayo called Kewpie, it has more vinegar in it than standard mayo and if you add some hot sauce like Sriracha you also have a wonderful tasty sushi sauce....sometimes I bake the fish with various mayo mixtures on it, especially soy....it chars and imparts a satisfying grilled like texture.

Moral virtue is the product of habituation. "Ethics" comes from the Greek word "ethos," which means habit. Aristotle described the process as follows: "We become just by doing just acts, temperate by- doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts." Moral virtue is good character, and a good character is formed not through moral instruction or personal self-discovery but through the regular repetition of right actions.
-James Q. Wilson
Part of life in a community is personal responsibility and accountability. This accountability is also a part of the training you receive as part of our community to prepare for life outside the University, where ramifications for actions and decisions are far more serious and permanent.
If you are found responsible for violating the University Code of Conduct or residential life policy, sanctions are typically assigned to you via a "sanction letter" from your hearing officer. This is the University's way of holding you accountable. Completing sanctions is a signal that you have taken a responsible and mature approach to your actions and the adjudication process. Sanctions are meant to assist in the education of students on our community's standards.
Sanctions must be completed on time and completely. Failure to do so is itself a violation of our code of conduct and can result in further adjudication, something that you should avoid.
Some examples of sanctions (additional and authoritative information on sanctions can be found in the Student Handbook and/or the Office of Residential Life Handbook):
Written Warning: a common sanction for low-level violations and a reminder to avoid the infraction in future. Work Hours or Service Hours: often, you will be assigned a certain number of hours working in service to the University or other students, often in an area related to your violation.
Parent Notification: especially for first year students, notification to your parents is an important element of the adjudication process. Parents are considered a partner in working with you when more serious violations of our community's standards occur. These includes alcohol and illegal drug-related violations. Residence Hall Probation: for serious violations of policy. Probation may entail removal from the housing lottery (see your hearing officer).
Very serious violations of policy or repeat violation of the code of conduct that give the University the indication that you are not prepared or willing to live by the standards to which you have committed can entail dismissal from housing, suspension from the University or expulsion. More information on these sanctions can be found in the Student Handbook.

WASHINGTON - Due to the ongoing government shutdown, limited resources are available to investigate a deadly accident in a Metro tunnel over the weekend.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) would typically be on the scene after Sunday's incident, but officials confirm their staff is furloughed and will not assist.
"The most important thing for an investigation is to get on the scene and gather as much as you can," says former NTSB boardmember Vernon Grose.
A team would likely have been at the accident site within an hour, he says.
"They would do measurements, they would be taking photographs, interviewing witnesses and everything else. All of that evidence is now missing," Grose says.
Harold Ingram, 41, was doing maintenance work in a Red Line tunnel near Union Station when he was hit by a piece of rail. He died, and two other workers were seriously injured.
A statement from Metro says there was a loud noise and a fire, but the cause of that disturbance and circumstances surrounding the incident are still under investigation.
Metro officials are examining all pieces of equipment around the site.
NTSB is asking Metro to hand over its report when it is completed, but Grose says that will be of little help.
"They will have to work with second hand information," he says. "It will be very cold evidence."

Mrs. O'Connell
Art Teacher
Students used markers to create an optical illusion with repeated lines
and shapes. Changing the amount of space between lines helps to create
areas that appear to recede into space or come forward out of space.
Students studied the Art and life of Grant Wood. They then created a
landscape in his style and painted it with watercolors. They were
required to have things like farm buildings, trees, and hills and to
create the look of a rural 1930's type Iowa landscape. They were also
required to have at least 3 different values of green and experimented
in mixing it themselves.
Students created masks from oak tag, made them 3-D, added patterns with
markers, and then embellished them with things like feathers, buttons,
pipe cleaners, sequins, raffia, jute, etc. When finished, they were
mounted on black construction paper.
created a landscape in clay in the style of Grand Wood. Each clayscape
was painted after it was fired.
Students first drew a fish or frog with a simple
background. Second the whole paper was colored with bright colored
crayons in a thick layer. Step three was to wad their paper up in a ball
to create wrinkles in the paper. After the paper was smoothed out it was
painted with black tempera paint. The last step was to rinse off the
paint from the surface of the paper and let it dry.
Students created 2 faces and painted them with tempera
paint. Each face was cut in strips and glued to another sheet of paper,
alternating the strips.
Students chose a black and white photo copy of
a face which was cut in half. They glued down one side and drew the
other side with a pencil adding in the values of light and dark they saw
from the photo of that side of the face. They had the option of using
blending sticks to blend the pencil shading or using
their finger to do the same.
Students could pick whatever landscape they wanted for
this project. They had to incorporate at lease 4 trees somewhere as well
as filling the foreground, middleground, and background. They also had
to mix all their colors and not use any paint straight from the paint
Students created a 4-5 letter word in bubble or block
letters. Inside each letter students designed a visual texture. A border
was also added. This project was done with markers, colored pencils,
and/or crayons.
Students used 2 vanishing points to line up their
streets, sidewalks and buildings. Each project was then colored with
colored pencil, marker, or crayon. Each project had to have at least 3
buildings, a sidewalk with lines, a street with a broken line down the
middle, 3 different wall treatments on the buildings. Each building also
had to have a window or a sign and a door. Students could choose the
names of the buildings.
Students used overlapping, diminishing sizes, pattern,
placement, color and linear perspective to create the illusion of deep
space in these abstract compositions. They also added at least 3 shapes
that are extended into the border.
Students observed examples of Georgia O'Keeffe's work and
studied her life. The characteristics of her painted flowers were to be
included in each 8th grader's painting. These include:
The use of "cropping" where the edges of the flower
are extended past the edge of the paper
Blending analogous colors in each petal for depth
The use of a contrasting color in the background
The use of "cropping" where the edges of the flower
are extended past the edge of the paper
Blending analogous colors in each petal for depth

New Rug
Mum gave in and bought the new rug - remember ages ago, when she asked for your help choosing. Well in the end, she bought this one off Trade Me, which means she wasn't even sure if it would be ok.
She is not sure of the colour, and maybe should have got the smaller size, but the thing she is most pleased with is that I seem to like it lots.

If you are a homeowner, you have probably acquired a large assortment of useful tools and equipment that help you care for and maintain your home. Besides the reliable hammers, pliers, screwdrivers, and tape measures, you may occasionally find yourself needing a drill, a level, a saw, and perhaps some vice grips or a plumbing wrench. Anyone looking into your toolbox would agree that you have a nice assortment of tools that can repair or remedy most of the problems or projects that a homeowner would come across. So what happens when you have a big project or you need a really expensive tool, but you just can't justify spending the money on something that you may never use again? This is where a company that specializes in tool and equipment rental in San Francisco comes in. You will be amazed and impressed at the large array and variety of tools that you can rent at a high-quality tool and equipment rental store.
Go Online
There are some things that you need to know before you walk into a tool and equipment rental store. Check to see if your local rental store has a website. On the website, you will be able to peruse the entire selection of tools and equipment and even reserve your desired tool for your specific date and time. This will guarantee that the tool you need will be available when you need it.
If the tools or piece of equipment you have rented is very large, you are going to need a way to transport it to and from your home. Most rental companies are able and willing to provide a trailer and tie downs for you to tow your rented tool home. If you do not have a vehicle that is equipped with a hitch or a towing package, you may want to ask your rental company if they can deliver the tool to your home and pick it up when you are finished. This will cost you a little bit more, but you will not have to worry about the transportation, pick up, or the return of the rented tool or equipment.
When you receive the tool, you may want to have a member of the staff show you how to operate your tool or piece of equipment. While a high-powered post-hole digger may seem pretty straight forward, you will always benefit from getting some tips and directions from someone who is experienced. If the staff member does not seem to be able to show you or tell you how to properly use your rented piece of equipment, ask for someone who can.
Saving Time and Money
Renting necessary but seldom used equipment can save you both time and money. Make sure that you find a high-quality store that specializes in tool and equipment rental in San Francisco to ensure the best rental experience.

At The Speed of Light
Posted on: August 12, 2010 | Comments (0) | Race Tracks |
While the month of May can be spent dodging raindrops, from time to time we are blessed with perfect weather over a race weekend. Last week's racing at Mid-Ohio not only had beautiful weather, but light as well. With practice and racing sessions scheduled during ideal shooting times of morning and late afternoon, it was a photographer's dream. Whenever I get a chance to shoot in strong light, or in high contrast situations I enjoy playing with my shutter speed and varying my apertures to see what I can produce. Below are some samples of opportunities I came across this weekend.
Pace Car: This shot was taken immediately when I got to the track on Friday morning. The pace cars were methodically lined up, morning dew beading off their brightly painted hoods! It was a great opportunity to shoot into that bright morning sun! By cranking up the shutter speed, the sun gave me a high amount of contrast to catch those droplets and the paint scheme hiding below.
Rollout: Shortly after taking shots of the pace car, I wandered over to the garage area where there are always opportunities to get great shots as teams set up. Dario's crew had just begun to wheel the #10 car out into the morning light from the sharply contrasting darkness within the transporter. The effect of shooting at f/4 at 1/5000 is a striking one!
At Speed: While not dealing with harsh lighting or high contrast in this situation I was still concerned about how my subject and background would come out. As I peered through my viewfinder I couldn't help but notice the brilliant yellow curbing and the bright red guard fence. The shot was taken during the race and the harsh light of midday which often washes out color. By turning down my shutter speed to 1/320 I was able to create some motion blur, however with an aperture set at f/13 I was able to capture the rich setting, and avoid that midday washout.

HOOVER, Ala. – Femi Hollinger-Janzen scored midway through the first half and Indiana held off Creighton 1-0 on Friday night to advance to the NCAA soccer final.
The seven-time champion Hoosiers (15-5-3) will play Georgetown in the title game Sunday. The Hoyas beat Maryland 4-3 on penalty kicks after a 4-all tie.
Hollinger-Janzen gathered a deflected pass on the right wing and booted an 8-yard shot that bounced in off goalkeeper Jeff Gal for his fourth goal of the season.
Creighton (17-4-3) lost for the first time in 15 games. The Bluejays were 12-0-2 after opening 5-3-1.
Creighton had only two good scoring chances in the final 20 minutes, and goalkeeper Luis Soffner blocked both attempts. The Hoosiers have given up only two goals in their four NCAA tournament games.
Indiana won its last title in 2004.
In the first semifinal, Georgetown goalkeeper Tomas Gomez blocked Helge Leikvang's shot in the final round of a shootout, as the Hoyas (20-3-2) beat the Terrapins (20-2-2) for the first time in 29 tries
Maryland scored twice in a 3 1/2 -minute span late in the second half to tie it at 4.
Maryland led 3-2 through the first three rounds of the penalty kicks, but the Hoyas rallied for a 4-3 lead and won when Gomez dived to his left to stop Leikvang's shot.
I just had a hunch to go there, and it worked out, Gomez said.
Steve Neumann scored three goals for the Hoyas, including two in a 1:31 span to give Georgetown a 2-1 halftime lead. It was the first hat trick in the College Cup since 1993.
You always dream about having games like that on big stages like this, Neumann said. It's an unbelievable feeling and something I'll cherish the rest of my life.
Neumann made it 4-2 with 30 minutes left in regulation, but Maryland tied it on goals by Patrick Mullins and Christiano Francois.
You're never going to feel secure with a two-goal lead against a team like Maryland, Georgetown coach Brian Wiese said. There were several times in the second half when Maryland could have chucked it, and they never did. They showed tremendous resilience.
Maryland outshot Georgetown 18-12, including five shots in the final 12 minutes of regulation after tying it.
I don't think we ever for a moment thought that we weren't going to come back and win, said Maryland's Patrick Mullins, who had a goal and two assists. We just knew somebody was going to find a way to get us that one goal. We had some decent chances at the end.
The eight goals tied for the second-most in College Cup history. It also marked the first time a team has scored four goals in a College Cup game since 2006.
The Terrapins had given up a total of four goals in their past four games.
Our defending let us down, Maryland coach Sasho Cirovski said. It's very difficult to cope with the reality that we're not advancing and playing on Sunday. We just came up a little empty.

Natalie Hope's winning cupcake entry at She: An Expo for Women was in the form of a soft-boiled egg. She used cupcake mix for the whites, lemon curd for the yolk and pieces of white chocolate to create the broken shell.
Natalie Hope, 10, poses with "DC Cupcakes" reality TV stars Katherine Kallinis Berman and Sophie LaMontagne, from left, after they presented her with the award for best entry at the She: An Expo for Women cupcake contest last month.
Natalie's Recipes
Red Velvet Cupcakes
1 package red velvet cake mix
1 (3.9-ounce) box chocolate instant pudding
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
16 ounces powdered sugar (about 4 cups)
1 cup whipped topping, thawed
Prepare cake mix as directed, blending the dry chocolate pudding into the mix. Bake cupcakes and let them cool. Use a spoon and scoop out a small amount of each cupcake to make a hole.
Beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Whisk in whipped topping. Spoon icing into decorating bag. Insert the icing into the hole and then ice the top of the cupcake with a swirl of icing. Keep refrigerated.
Sour Cream Chicken Casserole
3 chicken breasts, cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
1 stick butter, melted
2 cups saltine cracker crumbs
8 ounces sour cream
1 (10-3/4-ounce) cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1/4 cup water
Pepper, to taste
Combine butter and cracker crumbs; blend well. Spoon 1/2 of cracker mixture into shallow 2-quart casserole or an 8-by-12-inch Pyrex dish. Place chicken pieces over cracker crumbs. Combine sour cream, water, chicken soup and pepper; blend well; pour over chicken. Top with remaining cracker crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with a green vegetable and salad.
Many cooks wait well into their adult years — once they're more seasoned in the culinary arts — before entering a cooking contest. And it's only a handful of those who will win.
But 10-year-old Natalie Hope already has accomplished both. Recently, the Ringgold, Ga., resident put her cupcakes up against 63 other entries in the cupcake contest at She: An Expo for Women, an event sponsored by the Times Free Press. Both professionals and home cooks entered, but Natalie's lemon-filled cupcakes were a clear favorite among celebrity judges Katherine Kallinis Berman and Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne, co-founders of Georgetown Cupcake and stars of the hit series "D.C. Cupcakes" on TLC.
"If she keeps baking like this, she's got quite a future ahead of her," Berman said after she and her sister made the final decision.
The winning cupcake won for its creativity, design and taste. Natalie's creation was in the form of a soft-boiled egg and served in an actual egg carton. She used cupcake mix for the whites, lemon curd for the yolk and pieces of white chocolate to create the broken shell. Judges all agreed it was both beautiful and tasty.
Natalie says she's always loved to cook. She was given a play kitchen when she was 18 months old and "cooked" in a corner of the "grown-up" kitchen while her mom made meals, mirroring many of her mother's techniques.
While other kids watched cartoons, Natalie tuned into the Food Network. When other children played Super Mario, Natalie preferred to play "Cooking Mama" on her Nintendo. And since the Hopes started subscribing to Netflix, Natalie's been catching up on past episodes of "D.C. Cupcakes."
So when asked what her favorite thing to make is, her answer is not unexpected. Just short and sweet:
"Cupcakes and desserts," she says.
Lately, though, she's been expanding her repertoire, trying her hand at savory dishes. The chicken pot pie she made a few weeks ago was a success; so were the tacos and refried beans she made for another recent family dinner.
"She's always experimenting," mom Michelle says.
But while she watched her mother cooking from a young age, Natalie says her interest in cooking was fueled by both parents. Her mother wasn't afraid to give her free rein in the kitchen — with oversight, of course — and her dad would "taste anything I'd put together, no matter how bad it looked or smelled," she says. "Mom was always chicken to try things."
She also learned more about cooking by watching the Food Network show "Chopped," where chefs are giving baskets of oddball ingredients (watermelon, canned sardines, pepper jack cheese and zucchini, anyone?), then told to make an appetizer, entree or dessert using every one of them.
And she took a cake-decorating class when she was 8 years old, learning the skills she needed to make her birthday cake that year, decorating it as a watermelon with ants on it.
"The kids were impressed," her mother says. "It didn't match the theme of her party, but she didn't care."
Cooking does more for children than keep them entertained, however.
"It gives them a sense of ownership in the food that is served at their dinner table," says Amanda Nelson-Varnell, owner of Dish T Pass Cooking School in Chattanooga. "They are more inclined to try new things and become well-rounded eaters when they are involved in the preparation process."
And there's more to it than mixing ingredients and hoping it tastes good. Varnell says learning to cook strengthens kids' math skills, as well as brings out their creativity and builds self-esteem.
Natalie, a fifth-grader at Ringgold Elementary School, has seen how it's boosted her math proficiency.
"It really helps me when we do fractions," she says. "I think about measuring cups. And I love art, so I really like the decorating part of baking cupcakes and cakes."
Winning the She cupcake contest built her confidence level, she says, though not as much as some may think.
"I really wasn't surprised," she says. "But my mom and sister were."
Michelle says she hesitated to even tell Natalie about the contest.
"I knew there were no divisions for kids. I knew professionals would be entered, and I didn't want to crush Natalie. But then I realized it would be a good life lesson. When the judges commented how they had never seen anything so original and called out her name, I was speechless."
Varnell says introducing kids to cooking, particularly to flavors from other U.S. regions and cultures in the world, opens the doors of possibility for them.
"It's like reading a great book — it takes them on a fabulous trip outside of the familiar. It literally can create hope and vision for their future."
As for her future, Natalie says she'd like to enter more contests, probably ones with cupcake and other dessert categories. And one day, she says, she'd like to own her own cupcake store.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Van Haitsma Dairy Farm 14-Dec-01
Food and Drug Administration
Detroit District
1560 East Jefferson Avenue
Detroit, MI 48207-3179
Telephone: 313-226-6260
December 14, 2001
Mr. James A. Van Haitsma, Owner
Van Haitsma Dairy Farm
6785 Mulder Rd.
Falmouth, MI 49632
Dear Mr. Van Haitsma:
An investigation at your dairy farm conducted by Investigator Kelley L. Clark on October 19,2001 confirmed that you offered animals for sale for slaughter as food in violation of sections 402 (a) (2) (C) (ii) and 402 (a) (4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
On or about August 2, 2000, you sold a dairy cow identified as cow #774 from your farm Through [redacted] to [redacted] for slaughter as human food. This cow was slaughtered on August 7, 2000 and USDA analysis of tissue samples collected from that animal identified the presence of gentamicin residue [redacted] parts per million (ppm) in the kidney). A tolerance level of 0 ppm in the kidney has been established for residues of gentamicin in the edible tissues of dairy cows. The presence of this drug in the edible tissue from this animal causes the food to be adulterated.
In addition, the USDA reported the finding of illegal residues in another dairy cow identified as originating from your farm. This animal was identified by back-tag #345 and was sold and shipped to [redacted] where it was slaughtered on January 18, 2000 as human food. USDA analysis of tissue samples collected from that same animal identified the presence of penicillin residue ([redacted] ppm in the liver) and gentamicin residue [redacted] ppm in the liver and [redacted] ppm in the kidney). A tolerance level of 00.05 ppm has been established for residues of penicillin in the edible tissues of dairy cows.As previously mentioned, a tolerance level of 0 ppm has been established for residues of gentamicin in the edible tissues of dairy cows. The presence of these drugs in the edible tissues from this animal causes the food to be adulterated.
Our investigation also found that you hold animals under conditions which are so inadequate that diseased animals and/or medicated animals bearing potentially harmful drug residues are likely to enter the food supply. Our investigation found that you lack an adequate system for assuring that animals have been treated only with drugs which have been approved for use in those species, for assuring that drugs are used in a manner not contrary to the directions contained in the labeling, and for assuring that animals medicated by you have been withheld from slaughter for the appropriate period of time to permit depletion of potentially hazardous drug residues from edible tissues. Food from animals held under such control is adulterated.
The above is not intended as an all-inclusive list of violations. As a producer of animals which are offered for use as food, you are responsible for assuring that your overall operations and the food you distribute are in compliance with the law.
You should take prompt action to correct these violations and to establish procedures to prevent their recurrence. Failure to promptly correct these violations may result in regulatory action without further notice, such as seizure and/or injunction.
It is not necessary for you to personally ship an adulterated animal in interstate commerce to be responsible for a violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The fact that you caused the adulteration of an animal that was sold and subsequently offered for sale to a slaughterhouse that ships in interstate commerce, is sufficient to hold you responsible for a violation of the Act.
You should notify this office in writing within 15 working days of receipt of this letter of the specific steps you have taken to correct the noted violations, including an explanation of each step being taken to prevent the recurrence of similar violations. If corrective action cannot be completed within 15 working days, state the reason for the delay and time within which the corrections will be completed. Also include copies of any available documentation demonstrating that corrections have been made.
Your written reply should be directed to David M. Kaszubski, Director Compliance Branch, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 1560 E. Jefferson, Detroit, MI 48207, telephone (313) 226-6260 ext. 185.

Schumer Grills DOT Over Airspace Redesign Plan - Demands Sufficient Answers To Westchester And Rockland Concerns
Schumer Issues 7 Questions to the DOT Concerning New Flight Patterns over Rockland and Westchester Counties - Including How Routes were Selected and Whether Alternative Routes Were Given Short Shrift
Today, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer demanded that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) adequately address concerns raised by
Schumer today called the FAA's plan premature and issued 7 questions to the agency that he said would address issues and concerns raised by local residents. In addition, Schumer, in his letter to Transportation Secretary Mary Peters, blasted the FAA for failing to hold additional meetings despite repeated requests by local residents and leaders.
"Plain and simple, this plan is premature because it fails to properly address valid concerns raised by Westchester and
The FAA Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia Metropolitan Area is the first airspace redesign project for the region in nearly 50 years. The FAA's goal is to achieve the highest levels of safety and the most efficient airspace design for customer operations by reviewing and reworking domestic and oceanic airspace. The final version of this study has been delivered to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and was officially published in the Federal Register Friday, August 3.
Upon this publication NEPA requires that a 30 day comment period be held for those affected by the plan to voice all remaining concerns. As the final step in the NEPA process, the FAA will release a Record of Decision (ROD) which includes issues raised during the comment period. Implementation of the redesign plan may begin once the ROD is released.

I'm half way through my domestic dummy makeover and I promise you it is making a difference.
I don't manage to do everything every day - some days I barely manage one! - but I just keep plodding on. And slowly, slowly, slowly the house is becoming less chaotic and just as important, I am less frenetic and frustrated by it all.
One big thing I have realised, is that you have to focus on the things that really make a difference to you - it's no good trying to clean the sink every day if it doesn't bother you that it's not absolutely sparkling! I had to work out my own crunch points - i.e. the things that drove me crazy, created more work and stopped other things from happening.
Soggy towels strewn across my bedroom floor definitely ticks all these boxes!
My life long - or at least post adolescence - habit has been to 1) swan out of bathroom in towel, 2) get distracted by something in bedroom, 3) drop towel on floor, 4) forget about it, 5) curse loudly in shower next morning when no towels in bathroom, 6) get clean one from airing cupboard, 7) eventually retrieve soggy one, 8) mix up soggy and clean ones in bathroom together, 9) curse louder still because I don't know which are clean & which dirty, 10) bung the whole lot in washing machine and bemoan how much laundry there is!
Definitely a crunch point!
So this week I am trying to master the very simple habit of:
1. Taking dressing gown to bathroom with me
2. Getting completely dry in bathroom
3. Putting on dressing gown
4. Leaving towel neatly folded on heated rail so it's all ready for tomorrow!
I mean how easy is that?
And I am banking on a bit of help from littl'un. I explained to her that this week "towels stay in the bathroom" and for some reason - maybe shock value! - it's so tickled her fancy, that she's been repeating it to me all morning!
Whether you're a domestic dummy like me or a full blown domestic goddess do come and talk housework, babies, parenting and other stuff on Twitter and Google+ and ...
And if you'd like to pin with me on my housework boards tweet me your Pinterest url and I will send you an invite.

Virginia Mayo was born Virginia Clara Jones on November 30th, 1920 in St. Louis, Missouri. Her father was a newspaper reporter. At a young age she became interested in dancing as her aunt owned a dance studio and by age six she had begun taking dance classes there.
Upon completion of Solden High School in 1937, Mayo, became a member of the St. Louis Municipal Opera appearing in the chorus and performing at the Jefferson Hotel. Andy Mayo, her brother in law, saw her at the hotel and asked her to be a part of his vaudeville act. This was how she got her stage name Virginia Mayo by taking on his last name. Mayo worked for a total of three years with Andy Mayo. She even made an appearance on Broadway in, "Banjo Eyes" (1941).
During her Broadway performance she was scouted by a MGM talent scout and was signed to a contract for films. Her first film was in 1943 on, "Jack London" followed by a small role in, "Follies Girls" (1943). Besides her obvious beauty, she possessed a talent that MGM felt they could really be successful with her. They chose to give her larger roles casting her next in, "The Princess and the Pirate" (1944). Virginia continued to get cast in films and her popularity would grow with each role. Some of the more popular ones were, "Wonder Man" (1945), "The Kid from Brooklyn" (1946) and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (1947).
Mayo worked well into the 50's and 60's mostly being cast in 'B' rated films and quite a few westerns. She did also appear in a number of musicals but ironically her voice was always dubbed, it was her beauty the producers were after. In addition to film, Mayo appeared in many television shows including: Night Gallery, Merv Griffin, Police Story, Dinah Shore, Mike Douglas, and numerous variety specials. She also had feature roles on The Love Boat, Murder She Wrote, Remington Steele, and 12 episodes of the daytime show, Santa Barbara.
Mayo was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contribution to the Motion Picture Industry and also recevied a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame. Mayo married only one time, to actor, Michael O'Shea in 1947. Together the couple had one daughter, Mary Catherine O'Shea born in 1953. The couple remanied together until Michael passed away in 1973.
Mayo ahd her husband worked together on a variety of films such as, "Tunnel of Love", "Fiorello", and "George Washington Slept Here".
On Janauary 17th, 2005 Virgina Mayo passed away from natural causes in Thousand Oaks, California at the age of 84. Virginia Mayo was one of the most popular actresses during the 1940's and 1950's remembered for her striking beauty and porcelain skin.
