Buffy Sainte-Marie "Power in the Blood"
Published Apr 27, 2015
The song is a cover of Alabama 3, and it sports an energetic pulse that is overlaid with vocoded robo voices along with organic singing from Buffy. This isn't the first time she's worked with electronic sounds, but it makes the 74-year-old sound extremely modern.
Read a statement from the vocalist below, and hear the track at the bottom of this page.
There are two ways to look at the word "Power."
One way refers to the power to kill and control things by force, as in the feudal system whereby a hierarchy of merchant racketeers control our lives, our safety, our food, our communication, our environment, and our future.
And the other way refers to the power in our own DNA to make choices, to steer elected politicians, to offset the stagnation of feudal thinking, and to mutate into a smarter human race.
Alabama 3's original version was already a great song, although very violent, expressing their kind of rage against the machine: There's justice in the sword, and when that call it comes I will be ready for war. In my version, although I'm raging against the same things, I updated the issues and spun the intention into a peace song: There's justice in the soul; and when that call it comes I will say No No No to war.
By the way, Alabama 3 and I are mutual fans. They not only approved my turning "Power in the Blood" into a peace song, but they also let me incorporate some of their stems and vocals into my version of the song.
Power in the Blood arrives on May 12 through True North Records. See all her upcoming tour dates here.

Growing up on a horse and cattle ranch in Iowa, the western lifestyle is one that I am familiar with. Having five sisters and no brothers, us girls did it all from working cattle, breaking colts, and baling hay. We rodeoed a bit growing up and our father rode bulls. Although I'm aware of the dangers, I wasn't as shocked as someone new to the sport of rodeo having to watch their loved one ride bulls for a living.
The McCoy family is obviously big into rodeo. A sympathy card is not something that is readily handed out. Chances are quite high that someone in the family has had an injury way worse than yours. They are definitely tough folks, but they are the sweetest people you will ever meet.
I can't believe it, but I did once get on the back of a bull. Cord and I raise bucking bulls and we were bucking a bunch of young calves, and this one just hopped and skipped across the pen. I mistakenly opened my mouth saying I could probably ride that one. And then Cord said, "Well, all right. We will just see how that goes." Sure enough, the bull was set to be hauled off on Monday, but of course Cord kept him a week longer. Cord and I are very competitive. Sometimes I joke and say that we act a little more like brother and sister than wife and husband. We are always working side-by-side together and we have a lot of fun.
He was joking to me all week about getting on the bull. I was just sure that he was kidding. Bullfighter Frank Newsom was at the house helping us, which was a good thing - a very good thing. We were bucking out calves that following weekend, and sure enough, Cord loaded him in the chute and the next thing I knew I was climbing a top and asking a million questions. Maybe I was nervous?
I kind of always wanted to try it, but I didn't think that it would ever really happen. The last thing I remember is them opening the gate and me thinking, "Oh, this is kind of fun."
And the next thing I know, I was on the fence and my head hurt so badly. I didn't know what side I came off, or how I came off. I'll admit I was miserable for two weeks. I definitely have a new appreciation for the bull riders and their sport. Needless to say, that was my first and last bull ride.
For Cord and I, this really is the most wonderful time of the year. We are very grateful for time we get to spend with our loved one's over the Christmas season. We celebrated Christmas early in Oklahoma and then headed to Iowa. And now we are both eager to start the 2013 bull riding season and bull competitions. From Iowa we will leave for Fort Worth, Texas for the upcoming PBR competition and ABBI classic event. This will be Cord's first event back from an enjoyable month off from bull riding, catching up with work at the ranch. Cord has also been busy in the off season filming a new television show for RFD-TV called "The Ride". This will begin airing in January. Cord looks forward to sharing his love for all different aspects of the western lifestyle with folks across the world.
Sara and Cord pose with family over the holidays.
We hope you all had a Merry Christmas! And we hope the new 2013 year brings you many blessings!

Some shameless self promotion here --> http://gamifyeducation.posterous.com/
I have indeed begun to gamify my classroom. I have converted two units so far into an XP model, and have constructed a plan to equate unit XP to the player (student) xp. My blog details a lot of my thoughts and efforts so far, including trying to incorporate a narrative component.
This model of a Multiplayer classroom is very exciting and next year I will be fully implementing it.
http://www.andrewkmiller.com/gbl-lessons/ Would you be willing to submit a sample lesson to my databased. Perhaps a mission or quest that uses/is a game?
[quote]One of the teachers at my school was written as a case study in this book: The Multiplayer Classroom: Designing Coursework as a Game by Lee Sheldon[/quote] I have this book on my ipad. It's very practical for teachers!
Kiel: Loving the thought process and your goal. I struggle with changing the curriculum to be more meaningful for students vs. changing the classroom environment to motivate students to learn the traditional curriculum.

Car Aerodynamics, Thwarted by an Open Window
Q: I bought a 2013 Buick LaCrosse and everything was OK until I dropped the rear window for a little ventilation at about 60 miles per hour. It felt like the car was coming apart or had a flat tire. I called the dealer and he acted like I'd been living under a rock, that all cars did that. Have automobile buyers become so desensitized that they accept the buffeting? And why can't Detroit fix the problem?

Stevens professor named an Early Career Principal Investigator
Professor Frank Xu honored by Office of Science, US Department of Energy
Hoboken, N.J. -- Frank Xu, Assistant Professor of Civil, Environmental & Ocean Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology, has been named an Early Career Principle Investigator, a highly competitive and prestigious award from the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research of the Office of Science, US Department of Energy (DOE).
"I'm thrilled to see Frank's hard work pay off so soon in his short time at Stevens," said Director of the CEOE Department, Alan Blumberg.
"The award is really a surprise to me. I am happy that in the next three years, I can do something that is both important and that I enjoy. To me, that is essential for genuine research," said Xu. "I would like to thank [Dean of Engineering] George Korfiatis, Alan Blumberg, my other colleagues and the Office of Sponsored Research for their help in obtaining this award."
The overall objective of the DOE program is to stimulate academic research in scientific areas of interest to ASCR programs, especially among faculty who are in the early stages of their academic profession. The award of approximately $300,000 will provide support for Xu and a Ph.D. candidate for three years. Their research effort will develop multi-scale stochastic numerical methods for solving stochastic partial differential equations which involve multi-scale stochastic data. The methods will allow for the prediction of uncertainty propagation across many dynamical scales.

The Ashtabula County Coroner pronounced a 13-year-old Madison boy dead at 11:12 a.m. Monday.
Jermaine Marcus Zirkle, of Madison, was reported missing 9 p.m. Friday and his body was found in Lake Erie at Saybrook Township Park in Ashtabula County about 200 feet from where he was seen last.
Ashtabula County Coroner's office Chief Investigator Richard Mongell said more testing will be done to see if any health problems contributed to the drowning.
No foul play or drugs or alcohol are suspected, although a routine toxicology testing will be performed, Mongell said.
He said the body was determined to have been in the water since Friday night.
"Basically the caller reported (the boy was) last seen swimming in Lake Erie in Saybrook Park with a group of other people and when they started to leave the area, the boy was missing," U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Third Class Christopher Yaw said of the call that was answered by a New York station.
A search was initiated soon after, Yaw said.
He said search perimeters are often set up using trackable buoys that drift with water currents and surface wind to give insight as to a possible location.
An active search was suspended at 2:15 p.m. Sunday.
Area Coast guard stations including a helicopter from Detroit, a Lockheed C130 Hercules military plane from North Carolina and air crews from the state, and other police and fire teams worked to search for Jermaine.
A Facebook page named "In Loving Memory Of Jermaine Marcus Zirkle" was set up for friends and family to leave comments and share photos.

Don't tell coach Paul Mainieri he uses small ball.
Don't you dare.
"I don't call that small ball," he said. "I call that good at-bats."
Mainieri is pushing aside his swing-away ways, and LSU's hitters are coming through with perfectly placed dribbling bunts.
The Tigers had three sacrifice bunts, all leading to runs, and ace Aaron Nola pitched a two-hit shutout through nearly seven innings of LSU's 4-0 win over Georgia on Friday night at Alex Box Stadium.
Nola threw a whopping 117 pitches and struck out eight, getting a standing ovation from 7,103 at Alex Box as he trotted off in the seventh.
For a guy who's now 5-0 with a 0.22 ERA, that's no real surprise.
What is: the bunts.
Mainieri, a power-ball coach who often speaks out on the elimination of offense in the game, has turned to his short game to score runs.
"We bunt every day, practice every day," catcher Chris Chinea said. "No matter who you are, you've got to get the bunt down."
The Tigers (19-4, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) did it Friday, like they have all season.
LSU has 23 sacrifice bunts about one-third of the way through the year. The school record is 56 in 2011 — the first season the NCAA implemented the new bats, which are less friendly to hitters.
The Tigers scored two runs in the second and a run each in the fourth and fifth to beat the Bulldogs (14-9, 1-3), a squad picked to finish toward the bottom of the league.
LSU manufactured all but one run off a sacrifice bunt.
Andrew Stevenson had two sac bunts that led to a run each, and Conner Hale had another. The Tigers led off four of the first five innings with a hit.
Chinea had just the fourth two-hit game of his career, and Christian Ibarra and Sean McMullen each had a pair of hits.
Who has time for those?
"Our bunts today were very clutch," McMullen said.
The second and fourth innings were nearly mirror images.
The leadoff man, Ibarra, got on base. Stevenson had a sac bunt.
Chinea followed with a single to move Ibarra to third, and Ibarra scored on Kramer Robertson's groundout.
"With one out and a man in scoring position," Chinea said, "you've got to get that big hit in the clutch."
The Tigers chased Georgia starter Ryan Lawlor in the fifth. He allowed eight hits and walked three.
Nola got win No. 5 on the mound. This one wasn't easy.
He walked a career-high four. The last one of those in the seventh led to the hook.
"Yeah, career-high," Nola said with a wry smile.
Zac Person replaced him and allowed three hits and struck out four in nine batters faced. Joe Broussard got the last out — a strikeout — with a runner on second to preserve LSU's ninth shutout of the season.
The school record is 10, set by the 1996 national championship team.
LSU's use of just two relievers is key. The Tigers have only 11 healthy pitchers for the weekend.
Nola and LSU's hitters shook off a frustrating first inning.
Nola had to get out of a bases-loaded jam, and an apparent RBI single from Hale was called an out when it hit the runner at first, Kade Scivicque.
Several of Nola's pitches appeared to catch the corners in the first, but home plate umpire Scott Cline's strike zone stayed tight.
Nola allowed a single and then walked the next two batters — all with two outs.
On a 3-2 count, Nola struck out Jared Walsh to end the inning and leave the bases full.
At several points during the inning, Mainieri pulled off his hat or grabbed his head in apparent frustration with the zone. Restless fans gave Cline an earful throughout the inning.
Nola threw 31 pitches in the half-inning.
"I didn't pout about it; just kind of went pitch-by-pitch," Nola said. "Stay even-keel. Don't get down."
In the bottom of the inning, Hale appeared to hit an RBI single through the first-second gap. Scivicque, running from first to second, was called for interference.
The out ended the inning and left McMullen stranded at third.
Mainieri immediately raced out of the dugout and argued throughout the entire inning changeover.
"What a tough break," Mainieri said. "The umpire thought the fielder was even with the runner and the runner impeded the first baseman's ability to make the play. I thought the fielder was in front."
It didn't matter in the end. LSU played enough small ball ... oh, wait.
"It's just executing," Mainieri said, "the fundamentals of the game."

Uh oh, new maps in iOS 6 making everyone miss Google
iOS 6 has been around for one day now, and the noise about the new maps feature is so far not in Apple's favor. If you've spent any time actually trying to get somewhere or locate an establishment, chances are you're ready to join in the uproar and lament the passing of Google from Apple's mobile operating system.
What's so bad about the new system? It works like $*%^. As someone who's been running iOS 6 since it first became available to developers (mistake), I've been dealing with sub par Maps performance for months—just hoping that Apple was holding back some kind of database update that would magically restore Maps to the kind of tool it was before Google got the boot. That didn't happen, and I'll be honest, I feel somewhat vindicated in finding out that everyone else's experience with Apple's new Maps has been as poor as mine.
Along with an inability to locate most businesses by name alone, the new Maps app has shown a propensity to misplace airfields or jump continents when you search for an address… When dealing with something as brass-tacks as navigation, this just isn't the sort of glitch users can deal with.
So, then, what can Apple do to remedy this before the situation gets worse? I have no idea, but let's hope they're working on SOMETHING. Otherwise, all of the great stuff about iOS 6 will surely get overshadowed by the fact that we can't rely on our iPhones to help us get around as we once did.
Any horror stories to share from your first day with the new Maps app?

How To Make Gelatin Wings For Butterflies?
Decorating By Florimbio Updated 24 Apr 2009 , 4:13pm by pinkpiggie78
Does anyone have a link or a step by step way to tell me how to make these???? I would like to make them for a dear friends baby shower next month...Thanks for any help or tips you can share
im sorry i dont know of a link, but i did just see alan dunn do them and im planning to do them too!
your geletine needs to be to to warm, not too cold, or else it will pop too easily. he shaped his wire into the wing, and dipped it in, then left it to set. looked easy, lol.
you can add lustre dust to the geletine, but only a tiny bit, ass too much makes it more likely to pop.
thanks...do you knw what the geletin mixture is...how much water to how much knox stuff...and when do you put in the colors???
differnt geletines have differnt instructions, just follow the instructions on the packet. you add the colour after its mied together properly. it wont show up as a proper colour though, just a slight sheen.
i dont know if u could add a bit of the gel colours, or if that would do something funny to it?
You can get impression mats here... I took their class and have some pics on cc.

Trump says NFL too worried about players' safety
"Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!"
Don Bauder 7:15 p.m., Sept. 23
"What's up with the red noses?" That's a question I often ask myself while driving the section of Mission Gorge Road between Jackson Drive and West Hills Parkway, the part that runs adjacent to Mission Trials Regional Park (MTRP). I count 4 deer crossing signs, two on the north side and two on the south side of Mission Gorge Road. Each sign depicts a leaping deer with a large red dot, à la Rudolf, painted on the tip of their respective noses.
"Hmm, the work of vandals?," I muse. But, the neatly drawn red circles seem too perfect to be the work of your ordinary tagger. Maybe a few of those whacky Caltrans folks, imbued with the Christmas spirit, took it upon themselves to add their own little embellishment, I speculate.
Retired now and with perhaps too much time on my hands, I resolve to find answers. After all this is my community. I live just a heart-thumping bike ride up Jackson Drive from MTRP in the neighborhood of San Carlos. The Park is in my "hood".
My first move is to call Caltrans. I talk to Caltrans PR man, Ed Cartagena. Ed is unaware of the red noses along that stretch of Mission Gorge Road, but gamely offers to investigate. Several days later, he reports back that the the crimson snouts are definitely not the work of Caltrans. "Must be vandals", he says. I'm a bit disappointed. The thought of a a free-spirited state worker adding his/her own special touch to standard-issue deer crossing signs somehow appealed to me. Then, Ed volunteers this intriguing bit of information: "Caltrans workers in Northern California report seeing wild boar crossing signs with red dots painted on the snouts." Whoa! I didn't even know there were wild boar plying the highways and byways of California. It's a cross-species mystery that we're talking about now! Could it be that there's some tormented individual out there with a compulsion to leave his/her "cardinal mark" on animal crossing signs throughout the state? A google search reveals that, in fact, cherry-colored orbs added to the noses on deer signs have been reported throughout the U.S. It appears, however, that the red snouts on wild boar signs are an anomaly as I could find no other mention of this phenomenon. Deer signs are clearly the favored target.
With deer on my mind, another question presents itself. During the 19 years I've lived in San Carlos, I've visited MTRP more times than I can remember. I've walked every trail in the Park, most of them numerous times, yet I've never spotted a deer. I asked Ed if there were any data about deer vs. car encounters along the aforementioned section of Mission Gorge Road. "In the last five years, there have been 3 reports of property damage caused by deer/car collisions," he offers. I think to myself, "That doesn't seem like very many." I bet those red noses induce motorists to slow down and drive more cautiously, fearful of reducing Santa's favorite ungulate to road kill. I like to imagine that those carefully drawn red dots serve some greater purpose.
Unless someone out there in "READERland" fesses up, I 'll probably never know how those red dots came to adorn the proboscis of our "neighborhood deer". I guess I'll just have to live with that.

"When I was working around 35mm film I collected bits and pieces of it. I couldn't help it. I didn't know what to do with them until it occurred to me to make a film that showed them while I talked about them. Standard Gauge is a film of fragments: what you see are fragments and the narration is fragments of an autobiography and fragments of film history and technology. But the film presents these fragments in one continuous shot." — Morgan Fisher
"The basis of this work was the principle of complements. Complements are two things that make a whole; simply put, complements are a pair. Male and female are conventional complements, and the objects in the photographs have conventional associations with them. And complements are present in the pairs of colors in each photograph: red and green, orange and blue. Complements express a relation of contrast, and the work enacts this by being in two parts. Their being the same size embodies the equality that complements usually imply. Each part is not the other, but each requires the other to complete it. These are the only photographs I have ever shown." — Morgan Fisher
"Color Balance uses the same principle of color reproduction that video projectors use. Three beams of light – red, blue, and green – converge on the screen to reproduce the image. But in Color Balance the frames are out of register with each other. By conventional standards this is an error, but Color Balance relies on the interaction among the images that it produces. Color Balance has no beginning or end, it just goes on and on." — Morgan Fisher
"The text on the rotating alarm reminded me of Duchamp's Anemic Cinema. The Wilkinson Household Fire Alarm is seemingly inadequate to the task it was designed to perform. It occurred to me only afterwards that it could be an example of what Duchamp called a sick readymade." — Morgan Fisher
"In the hall near the office where I worked in the late sixties was a Pepsi machine, and with it were some wooden Pepsi cases. A Pepsi case combined several of my interests then. They were a pop subject, and they were a grid, a standard device in modernist work. The blueprint and Xerox are from a drawing done in isometric, a kind of technical drawing that interested me because it drastically limits how you can depict the object. The dimensions are those of the actual object, modified by turning it into a hyperbolic paraboloid, a shape I admired because in it straight lines produce (surprisingly, to me) a surface that curves in two directions." — Morgan Fisher

In honor of my shiny new super-organized (for now, but check back in 30 seconds) office, I present an entry without any topic at all. But disorganized, stream-of-consciousness writing is a valid art form as long as you do it while sitting in a chair, at a desk. FACT. Are you sitting at a desk? I have just legitimized everything you do today. You are a serious professional and nothing will change that. Go on, drip yogurt on yourself. You've earned it. Apologies to the non-desk sitters in the audience. I was you! All the way up until yesterday! And while I will never forget my roots, I have already forgotten where I was going with this sentence. I'M AT A DESK! To the next topic! Hurry! 1) MY HAIR & ASSORTED AW SHUCKSING Thank you to everybody who complimented my hair yesterday! In the old days, people used to have to write their own daily affirmations on their mirrors in lipstick. Now we can just post flatteringly-blurry photos of ourselves online. What a glorious time to be alive. I will add the caveat that those cell-phone-mirror-reflection shots completely hide the unfortunate Chia Bangs, which yes, are still there and... Read more →
I bought a desk this weekend. I have not sat at a desk since 2006. April-ish, if I recall correctly. I bought a desk at Ikea and a fake potted plant, came home and sorted through a good four years of clutter, pushed an (Ikea) dresser down the hall into the boys' room, which I traded them for an (Ikea) bookshelf that I pushed back into my room, my office. The blinds should be replaced and the walls desperately need painted; the stuff I hung up is stragetically cover up the worst of the scuff marks in the meantime. Everything else is just whatever I could find lying around the house, like a former remote-control organizer basket now holds envelopes, thank-you cards, my memory card reader and a bottle of fenugreek capsules. I'm storing pens in a candleholder because it seemed nicer-looking than a plastic Thomas the Tank Engine cup. I dunno. Maybe not. It's nothing you'll ever see on some creamy yummy aspirational design blog. There's a litter box in the closet. Naturally, I love it beyond all sense and reason. Read more →
I Want To Belieeeeeeeeve
February 24, 2012
I have no idea how we got on the subject of Bloody Mary -- the ghosty sleepover dare, not the drink -- but somehow, we did. A little vodka may have been involved, but I am definitely sure that tomato juice and celery were not. Jason and I both grew up in very, very religious households, and because of this, had both achieved adulthood without ever -- EVER -- attempting the Bloody Mary game. We believed that just by THINKING about Satan or evil things, one was technically inviting demonic influence, or even full-on possession. That shit was real, man, in an incredibly literal sense, and the idea of actively baiting a ghost/demon/evil spirit like that was a genuinely terrifying prospect that neither of us would ever mess with. I have a vague memory of standing in a darkened bathroom after first hearing the story from my friends...and THINKING about maybe giving it a try, and the very second the idea popped into my head, a car drove down the street and a glimmer of the headlights flashed in the mirror and I freaked out and ran back to my room, hid under the covers and prayed for forgiveness and...

I posted this picture to Instagram a couple days ago, but I'm reusing it here because it's now the last-known photo of Ike without a ring of multi-colored bruises across his forehead. Which I'm guessing he'll be sporting for the next few months, at least. Oh my GOD, this child. Last Thursday he started crawling on his hands and knees, pulling to a stand, making shaky (and mostly unsuccessful) attempts at cruising around the furniture, doing a combo wave/sign-for-milk thing with his hand and mimicking the words "kick kick kick" while, uh, kicking. And I do mean, literally, Thursday. All of that. BOOM. I hadn't even lowered the crib mattress yet. I woke up with a little helpless baby and like, five hours later was the proud parent of a full-blown crazy person. Who is hellbent on injuring himself and/or eating random pieces of Scotch Tape he finds on the floor. (Also: Mushrooms. Very big fan of sauteed mushrooms. Not such a fan of chewing the mushrooms, however, so every diaper change is like SURPRISE MISE EN PLACE!) (That was gross and unnecessary, I'm sorry. It's just that Ike didn't seem to appreciate the cleverness of the mise en place... Read more →
Hey so remember the time I rubbed all y'all's faces in the fact that I got sent a heapload of free jewelry? And then was like, "okay I guess one of you can win some free jewelry too?" Yeah, so it turns out that a lot of you seemed to be very much in the pro-free jewelry camp (shocking!!1!), and also in the screw you, blogger, I can buy my own jewelry myself camp. The post was a success, is my point, and I was then repeatedly asked to do another sponsored post/giveaway for JewelMint's sister site, StyleMint. Repeatedly! There is only so much resisting of free clothing with a side of bonus money a girl can do, you guys. So really, this is all your fault, if you think about it. DEAL WITH IT.

When the flyer came home in his backpack, I groaned. The Valentine's Day class party was going to have a "theme." A 1950s sock hop, with music and dancing. Dressing up in poodle skirts and "greaser" costumes was encouraged. Please remember that all treats must be store bought, not homemade. Sometimes integration in the general education classroom sucks. No way would the room parents in special education plan something like that, with so many of the kids easily unnerved by changes in routine and costumes and noise and cupcakes frosted with Red 40 dye. But there was no party for the special ed class -- parties fall exclusively in the domain of the homeroom. The giant overcrowded homeroom, like the one I toured just over a year ago with other parents from the preschool program. We observed it with wide, terrified eyes -- one mom grabbed my arm and squeezed it while shooting me a WTF look, because we were both thinking the same thing, because our kids won't be ready for this environment in a million billion years. The kindergartners moved around the room in quiet, controlled movements, focused on independent activities, tuning out their dozens of classmates all... Read more →

Surprise! I'm currently en route to New York City. You know, for stuff. Just the usual glamorous kind of drop-of-a-hat jet-setting that I am all about. To call this trip "last minute," however, is such an understatement that I think it might actually be offensive to minutes. I'm not even 100% sure I'm allowed to tell you anything else about the trip until later because I signed the contract thingie at 5 am this morning and therefore haven't the faintest idea what I just agreed to. I HAD A TRAIN TO CATCH AND ONLY THREE HOURS TO MAKE A 22-MINUTE TRIP TO THE STATION HOLY SHIT PANIC. (If you don't see at least one Instagram photo from me later, best to just go ahead and assume the answer was "white slavery" and delete me from your bookmarks.) Anyway, since we all know that each and every independent, unsupervised venture outside my own front door is an exercise in terror, allow me to recap the happenings thus far. (NOTE: I have been on the train for 14 minutes.) 1) Spent entire night attempting to comfort violently teething baby. Failed miserably. Currently operating on 45 minutes of sleep. Goddamn vampire teeth. God.... Read more →
I had a really nice Valentine's Day, thank you for not asking, but allowing me to pretend that you did. We're all organic and conversational up in this bitch! For the first time in years, I was thoroughly pleased with my own gift-and-card-related offerings for Jason: Geeky Han-and-Leia bracelets from Spiffing Jewelry. Super-highly-mature card from Wit and Whistle. Usually I get completely out-gifted by my thoughtful, creative husband while I'm like: Here's a sweater? It's red? I bought you some chocolates but I ated them? Not that Jason did too shabbily himself, or anything. But he's an established pro at Valentine's Day -- gifts! flowers! candy! pampering! home-cooked gourmet meals and champagne! -- so I'm usually just happy to not suck too badly at it. Since the babysitter works on Tuesdays, we played hooky had a lunch date together at a restaurant nearby, a place we've gone several times with ALL OF THE CHILDREN in tow, and the hostess gave us a suspicious side-eye when she sat us, like "aren't you the ones wot show up with all them kids usually? where's your baby? oh dear God, did you leave him in the car?" Then we both went to the... Read more →
Happy Valentine's Day, everybody! And good news! Thanks to the money-grubbing powers that be (AKA MY OWN SELF), I accidentally scheduled a sponsored post for today so y'all are spared having to read something goopy about my husband. Instead, we're going to talk about vegetables, thanks to Hidden Valley Ranch. Vegetables are romantic, right? (I know where your mind is going right now and I do not like it. I LOVE IT.) Specifically, I'm supposed to talk about getting kids to eat their vegetables. LIKE I HAVE ANY IDEA. The only kid in my house who is currently not a jerk about consistently eating his vegetables is the baby. Because vegetables are pretty much the only food group he is aware of. I make all of Ike's food, and I...well, I make his food because I think it's fun. It's very easy and satisfying and it makes me happy to see my baby's face light up when he tastes something fresh and delicious and baby-birds his mouth for more, more, more. Plus, it's cool to have a baby who eats vegetables beyond the jarred green beans and carrots. There's only a short window before the Great Beige Food Phase, so... Read more →
So I had this whole post planned for today, but this whole post centered around some photos I took with my real camera (I know, fancy, right?) instead of my phone, and thus everything depended on getting those photos off the real camera and I have now spent two! hours! looking for my memory card reader and then 20! minutes! trying every USB cable in the house, and yet the photos remain solidly, irrevocably trapped on the memory card because this is what happens when I try to like, not do things half-assed like usual. Lesson: NEVER TRY. AIM LOW. I'm telling you all this because I feel like I should at least earn partial credit. Anyway, here are some pictures I took with my phone. And you know I have a good dozen more semi-identical photos of him sitting here in that same spot, making variations on the same two faces, so I would just count your lucky stars that I didn't post them all and move along. There is nothing to see here. (DEAR MEMORY CARD READER STOP RUINING EVERYTHING WHAT THE HELL I JUST SAW YOU YESTERDAY COME BACK PLEASE) (DEAR AMAZON KINDLE GOOD NEWS I FOUND... Read more →

Buffalo Bayou Brewery: A Preview
Crostini by Ryan Pera
Photo by Mai Pham
If you haven't heard about the Buffalo Bayou Brewery, one of the new local craft beer makers in Houston, it's probably because they haven't officially opened yet. But to get the buzz going and to let people know what's coming down the line, they held a media preview event last week, where we had the chance to try the beer while noshing on beer-themed light bites.
Located near the Washington corridor, Buffalo Bayou Brew Company (Twitter: @buffbrew) is the brainchild of probably the nicest, most enthusiastic beer lover I've ever met, CEO/Founder Rassul Zarinfar, a Harvard MBA grad who, at 29, has spent many years working with and around beer.
Scheduled to open in late December to early January 2012, the 10-barrel brewery will be housed in a cool space where they'll be able to give tours and let people try some of their craft beer. They are already experimenting with different batches of beers and have perfected what they hope to be their signature, drink-all-year-round beer, the 1836.
Founder Rassul Zarinfar
Mai Pham
Named after the year that Houston was founded, the beer is medium-bodied, with some hops flavors and a slightly bitter finish. Easily drinkable, the copper ale-type has an "assertive hoppiness" and a "biscuity malt profile." They had beef, pork and jalapeno sausages served in 1836 beer bread with sauerkraut and caramelized onions to pair with the beer, created by Matt Schlabach.
I'm more of a wine drinker, so I can't call myself a craft beer sophisticate in any way. But I have to say, the second beer we tasted, a hibiscus-infused beer that had a slightly pink color to it, was so good it tasted like a beer cocktail. Light on the hops flavor, but big on the hibiscus fragrance, with good carbonation, the beer was refreshing and smooth, and easily drinkable.
Paired with a crostini of autumn squash, Texas goat cheese, and Revival Market lardo with a hibiscus beer gastrique, by Ryan Pera of Revival Market, the hibiscus-infused beer, quite frankly, rocked.
We were also given the chance to try a Belgian Dubbel, as well as a Belgian Dubbel with brettanomyces, to taste the difference in how the added yeast can change the flavor of the beer. These were paired with a smooth and creamy Chocolate XXX-Mas Stout syllabub by Pastry Chef Rebecca Masson.
Keep a look-out for Buffalo Bayou Brewery at the end of this month, and get a glass when you see it. Buffbrew plans to start out by producing small, 40-keg batches, and I'm sure there will be demand.

WASHINGTON — To 63-year-old Greg Cooke, seeing Diana Nyad become the first person to complete a 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida on Monday was nothing short of awesome. Nyad is, after all, just a year older than Cooke and she reminded him of what is possible.
"I saw that and I thought, 'Man, this is a total inspiration,'" he said. "It made me feel like I need to get up and get out there and do stuff."
Unlike Nyad, Cooke, a government attorney who lives in Garrett Park, Md., was not much of an athlete for most of his adult life. But when he was 48, he changed his ways.
"I had little kids and I was fat," he said. "I had a 6-year-old and I didn't want to be an old slug dad who couldn't keep up with the kids." Cooke began running, and now completes marathons with finish times in the 3½-hour range.
Most people do less physical activity the older they get. Only one in five American adults overall exercises enough, as defined by guidelines established by the federal Department of Health — at least 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity, plus muscle-building activity at least twice a week. By their mid-50s, it is about one in six and only one in seven after age 65, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But while only a small share of people are exercising enough, the percentage of those exercising after age 65 has been rising.
As recently as 1998, only 6 percent of Americans over 65 routinely exercised up to federal levels, according to the CDC. Over the next decade, it doubled. In the most recent study, done in 2011, 16 percent got enough exercise.
The upswing marks a change in attitude since the middle of the century. In 1954, Jack LaLanne, a fitness and nutrition buff who had an exercise program on television, marked his 40th birthday by swimming the length of the Golden Gate bridge, underwater, carrying 140 pounds of equipment.
He did it to prove a point, said his widow, Elaine.
"In those days, people thought anyone over 40 was over the hill, she said."
Recent research suggests this is far from the case. A 2010 study of muscle tissue from lifelong competitive runners in their 60s showed their leg muscles had almost as many motor units, a measure of strength, as those of active 25-year-olds.
But starting exercise regimens at any age can be beneficial, according to the National Institute on Aging, which runs a website to encourage exercise among older people.
Nyad's accomplishment shows that state of mind can be as important as physical prowess, say experts on the physiology of aging.
"It's more a testament to her spirit than her body," said Gayle Doll, director of Kansas State University's Center on Aging. "She is relentless. Diana Nyad's message is, you can do incredible things when you're older. We've just been told that we can't. A lot of people have the body to do it, but they don't have her indomitable spirit."
The human body loses protein with age and with it goes muscle mass. In so-called power sports, such as gymnastics or the 100-meter sprint, people hit their peak in their 20s. But in endurance sports like swimming or long-distance cycling, athletes don't peak until their 30s, after many years of training.
"Every time we say there are limits to the human body, someone like Diana Nyad breaks it," said Frank Wyatt, who teaches exercise physiology at Midwestern State University in Texas. "In most studies on aging, the line goes in one direction, and it's generally down. Not a lot gets better. But if you look at Diana Nyad, you can say maybe our resolve does."
Doll said women often are better at endurance sports than men are, because their bodies have more fat that helps fuel their activity.
"You have to work harder, but you can maintain a lot of muscle mass," said Doll, citing a study in the 1990s in which nursing home residents who did quadriceps training almost tripled their strength. Bernhard Stamm, 74, of Ashburn, Va., resumed doing field events three years ago after a hiatus of more than a half century and got so enthusiastic that he pulled his hamstring after failing to warm up properly.
"You've got to listen to your body," said Stamm, a retired architect who was a track and field athlete in high school in Switzerland.
With 25 gold medals in senior competitions under his belt, Stamm plans to compete in the Northern Virginia Senior Olympics next week in the standing long jump, running long jump, high jump, javelin, shotput, and softball throw. He will add tricks he didn't know in high school.
"The Fosbury flop, where you jump over backwards," he said, referring to a move popularized in the 1968 Summer Olympics. "That didn't exist when I was a kid, so two years ago I learned it, and now I'm doing a Fosbury flop."
Nyad is a baby boomer — part of the generation born between 1946 and 1964 — and her feat may foreshadow a change in attitudes among a generation that has never liked to think of itself as old.
"She just didn't give up, she was determined to do it," Cooke said.
"I'm thinking, 'All right, I can't let these little aches and pains hold me back; there's things to do and I'm going to get out there and do them.'"

International teacher, researcher and staff exchanges for the academic year 2015-2016
International Relations is calling for applications for teacher, researcher and staff exchange funding for the academic year 2015-2016. The deadline for exchange funding applications is September 30, 2015, and the decisions will be made by the end of October. Applications for exchanges taking place in October-November will be considered and processed on a case-by-case basis.
The University of Lapland offers various opportunities for teacher exchanges at partner universities abroad. International teacher exchanges support the development of teaching and its content, improve the skills needed in international environments, and also increase the understanding of the different approaches to the subject in another country. Teacher exchanges also support the international networking of the faculty, and contribute to the planning of joint international education and research collaboration projects.
The international mobility of teachers and researchers is one of the criteria with a set target in the performance agreement between the university and the Ministry of Education and Culture. In the Ministry's data collection (KOTA), information is collected for all exchanges and visits lasting at least one week (five work days, including two travel days).
In the academic year 2015-2016 teacher exchanges are directed especially towards European and nearby Russian destinations, and researcher exchanges to European destinations (Erasmus+). More information on the exchange partners of the university and on how to apply are available on the International Relations' webpages (International Relations / For Staff).
The university funds teacher and staff exchanges partly through different programmes and networks (e.g. Erasmus+, First and Nordplus). In addition, International Relations has resources to cover some exchange costs.
The International Coordinators in the Faculties can also assist you in planning your exchange.
