Overwhelm kicks in when the "everything" is considered in the context of getting it all done.
The penchant for expressing our worth by how busy we are has woven itself into the fabric of our culture. Our worth as a human begins by virtue of our breathing. It works outward from there. There are some days when our sense of worth has to be defined as enough just by being alive. Those are tough days. Then – there are the days where we are energized and have a list of things to do that stretches the length of…well, more than one human could possibly get done in a day.
It's likely true that "you cannot get everything done today."
However! you can get one or two things done toward many of the things on your list. Working TOWARD a goal is not as emotionally satisfying as the feeling of completing something. So, here is the trick. Consider that one thing or those two things as independent tasks. And take joy and personal reward when you complete them. In that you will know you have propelled yourself one or two steps closer to finishing the current list of Everything. Daily doing that one thing is one of the keys to true effectiveness.
I am often in a hurry. I try to be mindful as I hurry, but still, it's a hurry-up-and-get-the-next-thing-done kind of hurry. And I have lots of "next things." When that hurry-ness combines with anxiety, or concern, or just plain 'ole tired crankiness, it's not a pretty picture.
I got to see my "shadow self" today at the store. Johnathan – I remember his name thanks to his name tag and the unique spelling – helped me search for just the right, old-timey kind of light replacement that our ancient rental house needed. He was speaking to me showing four different options when a woman came up to us and in the middle of one of his sentences, thrust an old light bulb in front of him. "Where will I find these?" He looked at me. I smile and nodded. He answered her question and told her exactly the location she would find them. She remained standing there. He continued to speak with me. She demanded, "Show me." He smiled. A this-woman-reminds-me-of-my-cranky-grandma-smile. He was soft and kind. "I sure will. Give me some moments to finish here and I will help you." I found what I needed, he helped me save $7 and I was happy at every level. I went to the cash register.
I was really happy with what I saw. They had just reconfigured their counter area. More spacious. A single line for four cashiers instead of the four line cashier lottery we all used to have to play. There was some serious commercially oriented feng shui at play here. As I was spotting all the positive changes, the other light bulb shopper came up behind me. "THIS? THIS is the line? Sheesh." I said nothing. Another staff person asked the line to swing around to make room for shoppers in the aisle. "Swing around and branch out here, please?" he asked.Still, so new, they were learning the human flow to go with their physical changes. She muttered, well, more uttered loudly, "Branch all right, like a tree this line's so long." I'd been handing out my reader-suggested encouraging statement cards on errands all morning. To grand response and happy results. Something told me to keep the cards in their box with light bulb lady. I said nothing.
Then. I heard it. The rapid expulsion of air. My sure sign of frustration and impatience. Not a rapid breath out like your yoga teacher asks you to give. No. This is more like one's breath stomping its metaphorical feet. The cashier called out, "Next guest?" I stepped aside. I gestured for her to go. Suspicious, she said, "Why?" "You are in a hurry. I'm not. Go ahead." And she did.
I went to the next cashier. Bought my light bulb. As I glanced over my shoulder on the way out I heard her breath stomping again before she said, "What do you MEAN that you…" I was outside before I heard the rest. And I paused. I asked myself to remember this day. What does a cranky hurry bring? Would she still have been waiting in cranky conversation with the clerk I had if I hadn't offered her the opportunity to go before me? I won't ever know and that's not really the point. I asked myself to remember the difference between feeling in a hurry and selecting behavior that is productive and efficient. And if I feel compelled to give a rapid breath out in the midst of a store, let's hope I remember to take a slow deep breath in, first, and release it quickly. Just like my yoga instructor taught me!

[Verse 1: Other Wise]
My existence is the only needed proof that I'm great spitter
My structure's always tend to alter like a shapeshifter
They call me in for extra points like a place kicker
Plus I'm going in on these bars... A-Lister
My pace differs, I can stop and even start again
Fashion's on point from the pea coat to the cardigan
I've hardly spent, while I know you tried just bargainin'
But girls still decline, no need to swipe your card again
Your limit's maxed, so quit the act
You can hit me when I'm relaxin, but it's guaranteed I'm kicking back
I'll strictly spit with an accent, so listen Jack
Photography you getting your ass kicked, picture that
I've developed from exposure, picture class
You're just pumped from being gassed up, Fix a Flat
I'm the one who they ask for to give em raps
So they hire me to kill shit, Mr. Black
[Verse 2: J Rob]
They bars is paltry; J R's ribaldry
Is part Harvey, part Pryor, part Chris Farley
Part Weird Al, part Vivaldi
Yall may stay the same, but I bring change
Shopping cart at Aldi
And ever since I was a sophomore
I've started every song off with a hard four
Yall soft; yall don't want war
This is more than syllables, silly boy
This an art form
I'm Jean Michelle Baschiat
Rob won't sell? Poppycock!
I'm hot as hell, Obvious
And time will tell if Robby flops
But its a safe bet that since I rhyme this well, probably not
They see my lyrics, they begin to fear it
What they read scared 'em, call that my Commi plot
And no matter what you say
I'm like a a painting by Claude Monet
In an exhibit behind glass
Cause ain't no body touching jay
You can pick yourself up, knock the dust away
Then come back and try your luck another day
[Verse 3: godAWFUL]
Mr. Ironic Name Rocking came knockin'
Get that picture and hold on to that chain locket
I ain't stoppin, got it? The rotors and the brakes rotten
Guaranteed to get that thing connected to your face noddin'
Gah, it's so much more than some rhyme schemes
Define me's like summer time heat with a fine breeze
Cool, calm, collected, evidence from the crime scene
The underdog squad just slapped the fuck out your top teams
God dammit! The god damage ya God's planet
God famished 'til god handed what god's plannin
Whole new testament, rhetoric they can model
Benefit off the beverage, every sip in the bottle
The lesson is get ahead of it, never been in the follow
It's effortless to connect with it when it get up inside you
So either breathe this, or figure your retreat
Believe it or not, some of us are better off speechless
While they worry about the class of the sneakers
I'm worried about the path that they have underneath em
A voice like mine can attract all the people
Without a record making contact to the needles
So when you see him on stage smashing the speakers
I'm just pissing off the cats that actually need em
Arrogant prick, hysteric with hits
Nefarious type, pyramids, break barriers shit
So serious? Get the Joker blade in the mouth
I'm jamming up the trimmers; there's no fading him out
[Outro: godAWFUL]
I have a gigantic dick tip
The best way to retire the booth, for real
I shouldn't say retire... shutting it down for a year
I'm stilling doing it, What, Why Can't I stop?
I'm still doing it, Why can't I stop?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Russell Wilson threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate with 35 seconds left in the third quarter to help the Seattle Seahawks beat the Carolina Panthers 16-12 on Sunday.
Wilson shook off two third quarter interceptions — including one that was returned for a touchdown — and outperformed Cam Newton on a struggle-filled day for the Carolina offense.
Wilson threw for 221 yards, while Marshawn Lynch ran for 85 yards for the Seahawks (3-2).
Newton threw for 141 yards on 12-for-29 passing, while the Panthers managed just 190 total yards. Their only touchdown came on Captain Munnerlyn's 33-yard interception return early in the third quarter.
Carolina started the season with plenty of optimism with the return of Newton to lead a high-scoring offense, but the Panthers (1-4) struggled against the tough Seahawks defense all afternoon.

this if the fifth full length from belgium's ignatz. outsider folk, guitar loops, & keyboard adventures. listen to your ghosts.
press release: In 1910, the illustrator George Herriman created the Krazy Kat comic strip. Ignatz, a vicious mouse, was Krazy Kat's arch enemy, and his favorite pastime was to throw bricks at Krazy Kat's head (who misinterpreted the mouse's actions as declarations of love). Brussels-based artist Bram Devens uses Ignatz as his alter-ego, and comes armed with his own pile of bricks; sparse, emotive songs born of the human condition, wrapped in effects, corroded by tape, driven forth by improvisation and spontaneity. Can I Go Home Now? is Ignatz's first Fonal release, but it is his fifth full-length album -- his seventh if you count the Kraak 2011 cassette compilation and 2010's Mort aux Vaches live LP on Staalplaat. Recorded in Schaarbeek, Brussels, Belgium between 2011 and 2012 on four-track and computer, the album sees Devens shift his focus toward more exclusively song-based compositions, cut largely from unabridged electric and acoustic guitar. Ignatz's songs stem from a familiar stripped folk framework, with Devens' delivery recalling the louche primitivism of V.U. or Henry Flynt -- but these songs sound inverted, cast adrift, their cool touch belying a stymied heat beneath the surface. Where Devens' fretwork is adorned, it is executed with a refined coarseness. Autonomous loops entwine each other. Songs brush past percussion, bass notes, or a scant keyboard motif. A voice recedes from the heart of the song into a dislocated, cracked drawl. And yet if Ignatz does occasionally recall the ghost of Jandek, there are moments of warmth and beauty, as sunlight glistens on the ice. Devens' personal experiences echo throughout the album's artwork and the title itself, as well as the music. "The artwork is a drawing of a dog, a boxer called Gibbe. It is a drawing by myself from 1994 made in Budapest, Hungary, just after Gibbe died at the age of 13 from meningitis. A family holiday went bad. Because we did not want to leave him in Hungary we decided to wrap him in plastic and tie him on the roof of the car and drive back to Belgium (which took us 2 days and the body started to smell). This was the last holiday I spent with my parents, and this moment defined the end of my childhood, more than any other." Ignatz has toured Europe, the United States, Canada, and Japan, playing with, amongst others US Girls, Ducktails, Six Organs Of Admittance, Heatsick, Sir Richard Bishop, Chris Forsyth, Es, LSD March, Greg Malcolm, and Bridget Hayden.

US Elections 2012 Part II: The Conventions, Debates and Election results
This thread is dedicated to discussion of the upcoming US Presidential, Gubernatorial and Congressional election in November 2012. The purpose of this thread is to discuss the various candidates, their positions, and the various other positions being voted on across the country. All news and discussion of the upcoming election will be placed in this thread, and once the results are in a possible new thread dedicated to the 113th Congress could be made.
The usual forum rules apply (be considerate of others and their opinions, no flaming or cyclical posting, try and provide sources when possible, etc), and try not to get too caught up in the News coverage of the elections (i.e., we all know the mainstream media is inherently biased (toward the right and the left), so try not to create too much discussion based on how bad you perceive the individual networks are skewing the various elections). To clarify further, you can post any clips or excerpts you feel will add to this thread (as so long as they are actual news clips and not simply talking heads), but do not get too focused on the source of the information (which is partially irrelevant to the discussion topic)...
Former Governor Mitt Romney is the Official Republican nominee for the 2012 Presidential cycle.
President Barack Obama is the Official Democratic nominee for the 2012 Presidential cycle.
Multiple 3rd party candidates will be announced as the election approaches.
11 States and 2 territories will have Gubernatorial elections. 33 Senatorial Elections will take place, and all 435 Representative seats are up for election. And, of course, a variety of state and local elections will take place.
Watching Chris Christie's speech. Easily the best speech at the convention so far. This is sophistry and rhetoric at its best (I haven't seen a speech this good from a Republican since Bush's reelection). So disingenuous and blatantly false, but wonderfully presented rhetoric from a speaker with great charisma. (Sadly, the speech is a complete rip off of Obama's 2004 and 2008 convention speeches.)
Edit: Ann Romney's speech was okay. A little boring, but some of the anecdotes were good. Too bad she seems so insincere and fake at times.

An attendee at the RNC threw nuts at a black camera woman and said "This is how we feed animals".
If you don't know, people on the right will say "Don't feed the animals" when talking about how they oppose food stamps for people, and with most people on food stamps being black, well, we know then just how offensive it is when they are calling black people animals.
The GOP is the official party for bigots and racists and all sorts of people who are hateful and intolerant.

But the Republican party does seem to have an awful lot of bigots amongst its ranks today. It's a real shame - based on the general values that they used to talk about (before the whole defining marriage and abortion stuff), it sounds like they were very practical and would have had a lot to offer society. I probably would have been a Republican if I had been born 40-60 years ago. Today they come off as a bunch of social extremists ("the American Taliban") and liars when it comes to things like government size and budget.
I'm terribly disappointed that Ron Paul didn't win the nomination. I feel that would have marked a turn-around for the GOP, and a return to what their core values originally were.

I might have actually considered Huntsman but that notion is in some alternative universe now. These guys are failures at foreign policy and they're failures at domestic policy -- they're here to loot for their masters what is left of the people's money and they're going to break the means for the people to recreate it.
And yeah, I don't think "American Taliban" is an exaggeration because I think the violence is just under the covers and ready to rip.

The two parties have pretty much become more ideologically defined over the past few decades. Before you had Liberal Northeastern Republicans and Conservative Southern Democrats. Now you pretty much know what the party stands for just from their names. Even though some would say they are quite similar, there are still vast differences between them.
Still to be quite honest, next to Huntsman, Romney was the most palatable candidate on this year's crop during the Primaries. I just can't believe he chose Ryan as his VP pick though. u-u

Although nowadays many Massachusetts citizens express dissatisfaction with his health care law, at the time the "moderate" pundits largely praised it as an example of bipartisanship. Moreover, his private wealth and history were not of particular interest.
Not unlike McCain, who was also popular with a broad spectrum of pundits prior to his becoming a Presidential Candidate, he started to lose his bipartisan "aura" as he came ahead. Though while part of this can be blamed on the natural transition towards a competitive race and a much more thorough media scrutiny, much of it really is Romney and his team's fault. He "exposed" himself this time around so to speak, flip-flopping around various wedge issues, turned sharply conservative socially, disowned his own health care legacy, refused a request for release of information which his opponent had complied and more, and let himself be portrayed, often through his own gaffes, as a silver spoon, no principles empty suit as opposed to a "competent CEO" (not that I'm particularly fond of CEOs) image he was once perceived as.
The official Republican script was supposed to be about the economy, the economy, and the economy, and CEO Romney was supposed to guide America Inc. out of its redline, yet "strangely," with little need for the Democrats to even act, the Grand Old Party, bogged down by its fanatical Tea Party wing, constantly shoved social issues into the forefront, into firestorms of controversy after controversy.
I say let them burn.

From what I've seen - in terms of clips and what-not -- the RNC is looking like a Fascist Convention, much like many of the other Republican conventions these past few years.

The Republicans need to be in power now because it is quickly getting to the point where they will have no way to get into power again. This is the only time (the next 8 years) that they can put into place any of the laws they need to create what they feel to be an ideal environment for their businesses and the protection of their wealth and their families.

If it was Paul, he wouldn't have had my vote cuz he wanted to economically isolate the US from the rest of the world in withdrawing from the WTO and enacting a more extreme version of the free market in the US than even Romney's planning to. You seem like an educated person in economics so I trust you would know what that means.

Where did I say that? I'm merely pointing out that he isn't completely stupid in regards to homosexuality like 99% of the GOP is. At this point I didn't think I needed to point out every hypocrisy that the GOP spouts or is in offense of. I'd have to quote almost everything!

Dancing with the Sky
I have to agreed with GDB about this, Ryan isnt stupid about Homosexual ISSUES but he is still going to follow the GOP way of thinking about that. But I look at it alittle bit and I am shocking to see so many people wants Romney as President, with they call him a true leader for this country. SMH
Obama wasnt perfect and he had a divided Congress to deal with (Even with Romney, it will be the same problem if Dems holds on to the Senate but if GOP is Majority in the Senate, oh boy) but he did what he could have done as president but Romney a true leader for this country, please.

Do we have an obligation to intervene when our friends are engaging in behaviors that are dangerous and potentially deadly? Some of my closest friends and peers are shooting, snorting and sleeping their way to potential HIV infection and eventually death. Am I responsible through inaction for their ultimate demise?
We have all seen the commercials that teach us to stop a person who has been drinking from getting behind the wheel of a vehicle; however, why can I not do the same thing for other dangerous actions? It is time that all of us start to have real conversations with each other if we expect to turn the tide of new infections as well as the death of our generation by way of addiction to drugs such as crystal meth and heroin to name a few.
Recently Glee fans from around the world were saddened to hear of the sudden death of Cory Monteith, who played the lead character of Finn. Monteith made his own personal struggle with addiction public last year when he entered drug rehab for the first time. It now appears as if Monteith's battle with addiction to methamphetamines was still ongoing. Monteith's death follows on the heels of Spencer Cox, world-renowned AIDS activist, who also lost his battle with addiction, and only further serves to highlight the need for action.
Crystal Meth
As I travel across the United States sharing my experiences as a person living with HIV since June 6, 2011, one thing stands out to me: People are still using crystal meth. As a recovering addict, I can tell you that during the height of my addiction I would have loved for anyone to have told me how much I was hurting myself. What started out simply as something I would do while partying with friends soon became a major addiction that wrecked every aspect of my life, ending with my being becoming infected with HIV. I could have easily have been another Monteith or Cox. My life while using meth consisted of trolling hookup sites looking for my next trick, while looking for my next fix. There were never enough tricks and there was definitely never enough meth. Psychologically, I had devolved to a state of amphetamine-psychosis, a consequence of chronic amphetamine use. Symptoms mimic those of schizophrenia and include hallucinations, hearing voices, paranoia, mental confusion, loss of time, emotional flatness, not eating, and inability to sleep, just to name a few.
Logging on to any hookup application or websites I'm continually amazed to see the headlines for "Party N Play", "PNP" all code for fellow-tweakers (a term used to describe a person who uses meth). Bathhouses are filled with guys who are doped up on chemicals; the actions they engage in while under the influence create a breeding ground, no pun intended, for new HIV infection.
You might ask, "How does this guy know about what goes on in my bathhouse?" My response is that I am most likely a card-carrying member of your bathhouse. I have no shame in disclosing the fact that I frequent bathhouses around the world. Regardless of what your social standing, we are all equalized when we are wandering the halls of the bathhouse in a towel simply looking for our next trick. It is time for us to have the tough conversations with our friends who are dealing with addiction.
The reality is that the bathhouses are filled with your friends who slip in after a night of partying. You may never know about it because they know that you would judge them. It is time to admit that you likely have at least one friend or acquaintance who is an addict but they believe they have it under control. All addicts think that they have it under control but the truth is that addiction is in control.
Raw, Bareback Sex
We need to face it that there are two messages being told. The most prevalent and politically correct message is that condoms need to be used each and every time that you have sex. The reality however is that not everyone wants to use condoms and consequently we are not wearing them, more personally ... I will not wear them. The reason that no one freely admits that we are not using condoms is because we do not want to be preached at and shamed. While condoms offer protection against exposure to HIV they are just one of many tools that we have currently. If we are truly committed to reducing stigma and having a conversation about reducing new HIV infections we must end the stigma surrounding unprotected sex. I will always choose to have no sex at all rather than to have sex with a condom.
It is time for us to have the tough conversations with each other regarding risk-reduction practices and prevention outside of simply putting a condom on. It is time to wake up and recognize that beating people over the head with the "condom" message isn't cutting it. A better conversation to have with friends who refuse to use condoms might be whether they have heard of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) or what other risk-reduction practices they use.
People are going to make their own choices regardless of how you feel about it. If we are committed to changing the tide of new HIV infections and addiction, then it is time for us to start having real conversations free of judgment and stigma. Are you responsible for your friend's HIV infection? That is only something that you can answer. Ultimately each person is responsible for their own actions; however as friends and family don't we have a higher responsibility to intervene when a person is engaging in behavior that presents a high probability of negative results such as HIV infection and in some cases death? Without these tough conversations then how many more of our friends fall victim to addiction and risky behavior?

Virgin Media puts Dave and Gold on the block
BBC in the frame for UKTV
Isn't it funny how core businesses stop being core when you are making a loss?
This is the case for Virgin Media, the cable TV operator, which is loaded down with almost £6bn in debt. Now it wants to sell off its half share in 10 digital TV channels, including Dave and Gold, and aims to raise at least £350m from the disposal, the Sunday Times reports.
The channels are part of UKTV, which is jointly owned by the BBC.
With the sale of UKTV, Virgin Media will become a pure play telecoms company, straddling cable TV and landlines, broadband and mobile.
The BBC is said to have first refusal over the purchase and could certainly afford to buy out Virgin Media. But politically this may be a poor move, at a time, when the Corporation is under fire from all sides for profligacy.
The Sunday Times also names Channel 4 and BSkyB as potential buyers.
Virgin and Sky have fought long and hard over access fees for channels on each other's platforms. They kissed and made up in June, when Virgin sold some TV channels to BSkyB for £160m and waived so called carriage fees for running Sky programmes.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT—Councilman R. Daniel Lavelle spoke to Hill District residents at a recent meeting.
The last time the lower Hill District underwent massive redevelopment, it forever changed the Hill District. That's why District 6 City Councilman Daniel Lavelle, and community leader Marimba Milliones are working to engage Hill District residents in the planning process for the former Civic Arena site once connected to their neighborhood.
"Your opinions, thoughts, and concerns are critical and we don't want to push forward without your input," said Lavelle at a community meeting on Sept. 24.
"We don't want to build something there that has a negative impact here," said Milliones, president of the Hill Community Development Corporation."
The community meeting provided the public with an update on plans for the 28-acre former Civic Arena site and negotiations with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Lower Hill Working Group, which has been tasked with developing a Community Collaboration and Implementation Plan, is asking the Penguins to sign a legally enforceable document and to be a part of future decisions.
"While we all would like to shake on a deal and have it happen, we know that's pretty hard to carry out in the Hill District," Milliones said. "We have some concerns with the plan they want to submit."
The Pittsburgh Penguins recently announced they had selected St. Louis-based McCormack Baron as the site developer. The current development plan is for house and apartment rental properties and an assortment of office and retail space.
Eighty percent of the housing would be sold at market rate and 20 percent would be affordable housing. However, according to Milliones even affordable housing would cost a minimum of $800 per month because prices are based on 80 percent of the median income. The Lower Hill Working Group is asking for 30 percent affordable housing at all income levels.
"In Pittsburgh there are gaping disparities between how much Blacks earn and how much Whites earn," Milliones said. "So not only would you have a socially segregated site, but also a racially segregated site."
Housing was a major focus of the community meeting which also provided updates on developments in other parts of the neighborhood. According to Milliones, 53 percent of the Hill District's 5,087 properties are vacant. This includes 2308 vacant lots and 373 vacant buildings.
In an effort to reduce vacancies, the Hill CDC will be launching the Hill District 100 initiatives with the goal of getting 100 people to purchase homes in the Hill District. Prospective homebuyers will receive help securing a mortgage and credit counseling.
"Right now the home ownership rate in the Hill District is 20 percent, which means we will have a whole bunch of problems if we don't start focusing on home ownership," Milliones said. "There is one way to ensure you won't be forced out of your neighborhood and that's if you own the land and that's why we're really emphasizing home ownership."

Ever considered keeping bees in your garden?
Spurred by worldwide honeybee declines, more gardeners are learning how to keep honeybees. Overuse of pesticides, diseases and disappearing habitat have all contributed to honeybees' record losses since 2006, when historically-stable U.S. honeybee populations first plummeted.>> read "It's All the Buzz: Basic Beekeeping" #Beneficials #How to #Insects
Caterpillars you are likely to run across at some time
Where there are plants there are caterpillars. As an avid gardener, you are probably familiar with several species of caterpillars, particularly those that damage some of your favorite plants, such as tobacco hornworms, cabbage loopers, and tomato fruitworms. But our gardens and landscapes are host to hundreds of other caterpillar species.>> read "Crazy Crawlers" #Insects #Pests
When most people think of wasps, they think of paper wasps, and they probably think of them only as pests because of unpleasant past encounters with these stinging insects. However, the world of wasps is much larger and more complex than this! Our gardens abound with hundreds of species of wasps that vary greatly in size and life habits. Most of the wasps in our gardens are tiny, parasitic species that do not sting people and go largely unnoticed. These are definitely friends because they help control pest insects. There is also a group of wasps known as sawflies whose larvae look like caterpillars and feed on plants. These are usually foes because they damage landscape plants. Two other groups of wasps are the social wasps, such as paper wasps, and the solitary wasps, such as mud daubers and cicada killers. Wasps in both these groups are capable of stinging, and they definitely qualify as foes when they do so, but paper wasps also have a beneficial side.>> read "Wasps: Garden Friends or Foes?" #Beneficials #Insects #Pests

I don't know about where you live, but in my neck of the woods fall brings swarms of Asian lady bugs, clinging desperately to my home, vehicles, trees, kids, and even pets. They creep their way into my windows, nestle deep inside every nook and cranny, and crawl in my hair when my path crosses theirs. And while this is, at times, a bit of a nuisance, I remind myself that these little guys are simply trying to find a safe winter hideout until they can venture out again to devour any aphids brave enough to attack my garden. However, ladybugs aren't the only pest-fighting soldiers out there. Lacewings, hover flies, and parasitic wasps are just a few of the predatory insects worth enticing to your garden.>> read "Inviting Predators" #Beneficials #Insects #Pests
Dragonflies with their ominous beauty, vivid colors and their spectacular flying maneuvers have provided hours of entertainment for many gardeners. Dragonflies are widespread across the United States and can be enticed to visit most yards. There are more than 450 species found throughout the United States and Canada. They range in color and size from the small eastern amberwing to the very large and brilliantly colored green darner. Although these insects tend to stay close to their birthplace, they are strong fliers that will explore surrounding areas. So if you garden even remotely near fresh water or a wetland, you can lure dragonflies to your yard.>> read "Dragonfly Fascination" #Colorful #Insects #Wildlife
It's summer, and that means war … on mosquitos! In 2014 Bill Gates called the mosquito "The Deadliest Animal in the World." They carry a host of debilitating and often fatal diseases. Yes, we can douse ourselves with chemicals, light some incense, or plug in the bug zapper … but rumor has it that plants can also keep mosquitos at bay. The essential oils in some plants and flowers have been said to repel mosquitos, while you should not rely on plants alone to protect you from mosquito bites, you may want to include a few in your landscape or garden.>> read "Natural Repellant" #Beneficials #Insects #Pests
Whatever the size of your garden, you can add excitement and wonder by welcoming beautiful, delicate members of the Lepidoptera family to share your little plot of heaven on earth.
Despite their freewheeling, frivolous demeanor, butterflies follow a deliberate and complex regimen in their day-to-day doings. Their life-cycle consists of four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis) and adult (butterfly), each stage requiring specific food and environments ...
Helping pollinators is a hot gardening trend right now (dare we say there's a "lot of buzz"?). Initiatives such as the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge are bringing attention to the need to create habitats for at-risk pollinators such as monarch butterflies and honeybees. But many other species – including some surprising ones like flies, moths, and hummingbirds – also act as pollinators, and also need our help.>> read "Surprising Pollinators" #Beneficials #Insects #Unusual
If you have paid attention to the news media over the past few years, you probably know honey bees are having problems. One of the most widely publicized is a phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder, or CCD. This problem, which causes entire colonies of bees to die suddenly and mysteriously, was first recognized in the U.S. in 2006. But CCD is just one of a series of new problems to affect U.S. honey bees over the last 30 years.>> read "The Trouble With Honey Bees" #Beneficials #Disease #Insects

Market Research
The OK.gov team recognizes that meeting customer needs and wants is the key to getting Oklahomans online! That's why market research is a core component of our development and marketing plans.
Our marketing staff works with state agency representatives to perform several types of market research if needed:
Adoption Rate Assistance
Adoption rates measure the usage of online services. An adoption rate is calculated by taking the total number of transactions processed through all delivery channels (by phone, web, mail, and at the counter), compared to the number processed via the online service, during the same period of time. The percentage completed online is the adoption rate for the service. For example, if you processed a total of 100 transactions in one month and 10 of those transactions were processed through your web application, the adoption rate for that month is 10%.
At the agency's request and after a period of six months to a year, OK.gov will analyze adoption rate figures of transactional based applications. If application adoption is poor, OK.gov marketing staff will work with agency personnel to determine factors that might be hindering the success of the online service. A marketing plan will then be developed and implemented to attempt to bring the adoption rate up for the application.

Don't know if it'll make it to PALand but for $100 (+tax) big ones you'll get a game, an expensive coaster, five figurines, a soundtrack CD, a fix-fic manga, and a nice box.Unfortunately, the Xillia CE was only just ever so barely worth it to begin with for me, there's no way in hell am I getting this. Symphonia was a good game and all, but a) I already have a copy on the GCN, b) none of the feelies are that worth it (well okay, the soundtrack might be, but Symphonia's character designs were more miss than hit to me, and FtNW's designs can go die in a fire for all I care), and c) I can't imagine them fixing From the New World to the point of becoming worth playing.

Subscribe To Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem Sequel Coming To Wii U? Updates
I've already subscribed
Could Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem be getting its long-awaited sequel? Developer Silicon Knights says that they're bringing back its "most requested" IP in their next game.
"We're really excited and we're working on our next generation stuff," Silicon Knights' Dennis Dyack told GI.biz. "We're working on an IP that's our most requested and we're really excited about that."
"We're smaller, obviously and we're going back to our roots. I'm really looking forward to a point in time when we can talk about it, it's just not today. That's the current state of things. I think the state of our demise has been greatly exaggerated. Here we are. We're here."
Silicon Knights has seen better days. Its most recent release, X-Men Destiny, was panned by critics. A few years earlier, they released Too Human, which flopped in spite of its lengthy development.
SK actually created the Legacy of Kain series in 1996 with Blood Omen. However, the license of that series is owned by Square Enix. Rumor has it that Square's subsidiary is working on a reboot of that franchise. Therefore, SK's new game is probably based on another series.
One possibility is that they're making a follow-up to Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. The psychological horror GameCube game was the first Nintendo-published title to ever be rated "Mature." Though it didn't sell particularly well, it became a cult classic. SK has previously hinted at a sequel so perhaps they're finally doing it.
It's probably too late in the Wii's life cycle for a new Eternal Darkness. I think Nintendo would love a game like that for Wii U, though. It fits the "hardcore" image that they're trying to create for the console.

MARQUETTE, Mich. – The Northern Michigan University men's basketball team earned a sweep over Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference South opponents over weekend with a 66-52 victory over the Lake Erie College Storm on Saturday (Jan. 5) from the Berry Events Center. The Wildcats had four players in double figures for the second game in a row and held the Storm to only 16 first half points.
With the win, the 'Cats are now 4-8 overall and 3-5 in the GLIAC, winning three of their last four conference games.
NMU led 28-16 at the intermission. Sophomore guard Quinten Calloway led with 10 points while senior forward TJ Cameron had six. The 'Cats shot 42.1 percent from the field and held the Storm to 30.4 percent.
Lake Erie (4-7, 1-6 GLIAC) used a 14-3 run to get back into the game midway through the second half sparked by three treys and pressure defense. The NMU lead was cut to 39-32 with 12:27 left.
The 'Cats answered with a 13-3 run on a dunk by junior forward Scooter Johnson, three layups and five free throws to regain control of the game with an 18-point lead (66-48) with 1:25 remaining.
Calloway had a team-high 16 points with eight coming from the charity stripe. Junior forward Matthew Craggs has now scored in double figures in 11-of-12 games this season with 14 points. He has also had five rebounds.
Cameron added 12 points while Johnson finished with 10. Sophomore guard Spencer Huss was a spark off the bench with a career-high seven rebounds and three points.
NMU finished the game shooting 54.3 percent from the field, including 6-of-15 from three-point territory. Free throw shooting was also a factor as the 'Cats made 22-of-30.
Riley Thomas had a game-high 17 points to lead the Storm. Rich Austin added eight.
LEC shot 38 percent from the field and 3-of-16 (18.8 percent) from deep.
Northern hits the road next weekend for a pair of GLIAC games at Grand Valley State and Ferris State.

"They say it's your birthday. It's my birthday too, yeah!"
As in the big 6-0.
That's what I'll be in a few, short days.
When did I get to be so old?
I watched the Justin Timberlake Super Bowl halftime show and knew only one song he sang -- something about "Sunshine in my pocket" -- and that's because my girlfriend forced me to listen to it on the top 40 radio station she tunes to.
I feel as if I'm in "Fiddler on the Roof" and singing,
"Is this the little girl I carried?
"Is this the little boy at play?
"I don't remember growing older,
"When did they?"
The two little girls I carried are now grown women with families of their own and I am a grandfather three times over.
It seems just a few years ago I held my oldest on my stomach, nose bandaged and stuffed with gauze from a recent sinus operation, and she leaned back and rocked forward. Pow! She couldn't talk yet, but for some reason she chose to head butt me right in the nose. I saw red. Then I saw stars. And then I was screaming. But I held on to her to make sure she didn't fall off me and the couch.
It seems just a few years ago when I rocked my youngest all night as she suffered through the chicken pox, alternately crying and sleeping, not yet coordinated enough to scratch, as I administered Benadryl doses.
Now, I know I have to get the shingles shot.
It seems just a few years ago when I'd look at the 40-year-olds warming up for a road race and marvel at their ability to keep running at such an advanced age.
Now, 40 seems so, so young, although I did feel lucky to finish the Cape Ann 25K Road Race -- "More hills than miles" -- last Labor Day.
I recently took one of those online quizzes where they guaranteed they'd be able to guess my age from my answers.
They said I was 40. They said wrong. Maybe 60 is the new 40?
Or maybe the fact I chose granite kitchen countertops in my imaginary home completely threw off the quiz results.
Of course I have friends who say I act more like 14 than 40, let alone 60, and they don't mean that in a good way.
The more observant among you will note I've updated my column photo. Finally. This is what I really look like. Truth in advertising.
I wish I had some sage advice to give at 60. You'd think having survived testicular cancer in my mid-20s and then having survived a car crushing me when I was riding my bike in my mid-50s, I would have something worthwhile to say. Some great life insight to pass on.
So I say, whatever your hair does, it does. Go with it. Curly and frizzy? Choose a haircut that allows your hair to be curly and frizzy. Straight and spiky, like mine? Choose a haircut that takes advantage of that straightness and spikiness.
Life's too short to fight with your hair.
That's all I got.

The Secret Service is downplaying reports that a Washington, D.C., police officer made a threat against first lady Michelle Obama during Wednesday morning roll call, NBC News reported. The police officer was removed from his unit and placed on administrative duties.
But the agency is not concerned that the remark made by the officer constitutes any kind of actual threat. "Pump the brakes on this one," a Secret Service official told NBC.
Read more on the story at NBC Washington
The police officer is a member of the official motorcade unit, according to the Washington, D.C. police and the Secret Service. A police lieutenant heard the officer making what he described as a threatening comment.
According to the Washington Post, the officer allegedly said he would shoot the first lady and then pulled up a photo of a gun on his cell phone.
Officials familiar with what happen say that it was a bad joke made by someone who should have known better. The officer, who is represented by the police union, has retained a lawyer.
"We're aware of it and taking the appropriate steps," said an official for the Secret Service.

Its antifertility characteristics are being explored as the possible starting
point development of a new oral contraceptive agent which works by stimulating
an evacuation of the implanted egg in the uterus. A confusingly ambivalent
uterine response to Zoapatle leaves aqueous extract was found, the plant
stimulating different responses at different times. This is due to different
activity depending upon the phase of oestrous cycle or stage of pregnancy,
the hall mark of a primary normalizing remedy.4
Research into the chemistry and physiology of the herbs activity
indicate it does not work in the oestrogenic way that formulations such
as the birth control `pill' do. Zoapatle seems possess a quite unique antifertility
In laboratory tests the species usually described, Montanoa
tomentosa, did not influence sperm motility or viability, but Montanoa
frutescens had immediate and constant inhibitory effect upon motility
and decreased cell viability.6 When administered intra-uterinly
in laboratory rats, markedly different results were obtained depending which
species was used. Montanoa frutescens produced an almost total inhibition
of implantation sites, whilst Montanoa tomentosa prepared and administered
in the same fashion, did not inhibit the number of implants at all.7
When the Zoapatle was prepared from Montanoa tomentosa
it did not alter the normal structures changes of the uterine by days 5
and 8 of pregnancy in the rat. On the other hand, Zoapatle made from Montanoa
frutescens caused profound alterations on those structures. These included
loss of epithelial lining, thickened blood vessels and alterations in endometrial
stroma cells. These morphological changes fit in with the anti-implantation
effect found with experimental administration of Zoapatle.8
The chemical basis of this activity is starting to be found. A number of
unique biochemicals are being found, such as Kaurenoic acid, Kauradienoic
acid (its mixture), Zoapatanol and Montanol. Kaurene compounds appear to
be several times more potent than Montanol and Zoapatanol in their activity
on the uterus.9
A review of recent published material reveals many patents dealing
with the isolation, characterization and total synthesis of some of Zoapatle's
constituents. It is clear that this Mexican herb is being seen by both scientists
and the drug industry as a new, safe, reliable, inexpensive and, potentially,
a widely used contraceptive agent.
Chinese research
The People's Republic of China is at the forefront of this research. Chinese
scientists have capitalized on the rich flora and the ethnomedical experience
in China, in their pursuit of fertility regulating agents from natural products.
Discoveries range from anti-implantation agents to abortifacient and pregnancy-terminating
compounds, as well as a male contraceptive. Much of the excellent research
is filled with a quality of social concern and relevance that western institutions
could benefit from. It is to be hoped that further research and collaboration
of this quality will take place to help solve the problem of the population
Indian research
Ayurvedic medicine from the Indian sub-continent is suggesting important
leads for researchers in this field. Ancient Indian literature abounds with
information on large numbers of plants reputed to have sterilizing, contraceptive
and abortifacient properties. Scholars of Ayurveda have also mentioned several
plants in their Ayurvedic treatises. A number of these preparations are
still being used by Ayurvedic physicians all over India, who claim their
effectiveness but are unable or unwilling to produce data.
The traditional remedy .Avrodhak (Lawsonia inermis) appears
to have some contraceptive value under laboratory conditions, preventing
pregnancy in 60% of the animals tested. None of the treated animals showed
loss in body weight or abnormal estrus cycles. However, rats administered
a high dose of Avrodhak failed to regain fertility up to 2 months after
drug withdrawal.11
Hibiscus rosa sinensis
An herbal remedy with an ancient history is currently receiving attention
as a potential tool in population control. Hibiscus rosa sinensis
is a common ornamental plant cultivated widely throughout India and Burma.
Flowers of this plant are said to possess anti-fertility property by ancient
Ayurvedic texts. Traditional use of the flowers in Kerala (Southern India)
is for its emmenagogue and contraceptive action.
A problem common to pharmacological studies of plant remedies is the proper
identification of most therapeutically active part of the plant, the best
ecological conditions to grow or collect it from and the season variations.
The Indian research team have found that only the flowers showed significant
activity. This anti-fertility action was maximum during winter followed
by spring then rainy and minimum in summer season.12
Much modern research has shown the flowers to have a post-coital
anti-fertility activity. An example is a study undertaken in 1976 that indicated
that the H. rosa sinensis flowers possess significant antifertility
activity with the effects dependant upon the dose, duration of the treatment
and the stage of the pregnancy. The presence of potent anti-estrogenic activity
in the flower portion may be the responsible factor in terminating pregnancy.
An antifertility agent can work by any one or combination of factors. These
can include, rapid expulsion of the fertilized ova from the fallopian tube
or by the tube locking mechanism; as a blastocyst-toxic agent; by the inhibition
of implantation due to a disturbance in estrogen-progesterone balance; or
through foetal absorption or abortion, perhaps due to lack of supply of
nutrients to the uterus and thus to the embryo.
In the light of above observations, it seems probable that the maximum anti-fertility
activity occurs via inhibition of implantation. A restriction of oestrogen
levels, which is indispensable for implantation, is considered a probable
cause in termination of pregnancy. The researchers demonstrated that the
herbal extract possesses potent anti-estrogenic property. On the basis of
present evidences it seems probable that, the treatment alters, in one way
or other, the delicate estrogen-progesterone balance, resulting in termination
of pregnancy.13
Not only does H. rosa sinensis have an impact on female
reproduction but also on that of males. Extracts of the flowers also affect
the generation of sperm as well as the endocrine function of the testes
themselves. The herbs' effect upon the male reproductive system has been
studied in rats by observation of changes in weight, histology and endocrine
In trying to find how the herb works, the researchers have suggested that
it may be due to the inhibition of synthesis or the release of gonadotropins
from the pituitary gland, a direct inhibitory effect of tested or hormonal
activity. The extract given to young male rats caused a reduction in the
weights of the testes, accessory reproductive organs and pituitary gland.
There was a marked decrease in levels of the gonadotrophin hormones. After
stopping the administration of the herb, spermatogenesis and secretory activity
of accessory sex organs started again, thus indicating that the plants effects
are transient.
Hormonal activity is a totally integrated process, so it is important to
look at any possible wider endocrine impact. The thyroid and adrenal are
apparently unaffected. This suggests that the inhibitory effects of H. rosa
sinensis on spermatogenesis are selective, mediated via the pituitary
gland, without affecting pituitary-adrenal and pituitary-thyroid function.
Though effective in affecting spermatogenesis the use of H. rosa sinensis
as a male contraceptive is unlikely due to probable reduction of libido
because it suppresses endocrine activity of the testis. Although, the effects
are reversible, persistent daily therapy would be needed because of the
rapidity by which pituitary function could recover.14 Such a
herbal remedy having a potent antifertility activity in women and reversible
anti-spermatogenic effect in men offers the potential of a safe and acceptable
aid in the drive to controlling population growth.
The Malvacaea family contains other potential anti-fertility plants. Malvaviscus
conzattii is another Indian ornamental plant whose flower closely resembles
that of Hibiscus rosa sinensis..
There is a marked anti-spermatogenic activity in the flowers of Malvaviscus
conzattii. In more animal experiments the testes were damaged and a
reduction in male sex hormones production was reflected by the atrophy of
the accessory organs. Along with atrophy of the gonadal glands, a significant
reduction in levels of protein and sialic acid of testes, epididymis and
seminal vesicles was also recorded, since protein anabolism is dependent
on androgenic production and also sialic acid and protein contents of the
sex accessories reflect changes in testicular androgen production. The genital
degenerative changes were found to be more pronounced when the results were
observed after oral administration of 50 doses. The drug administration
resulted in mass atrophy of the spermatogenic elements and the testicular
stages were left with only 1-2 cell layers.
Changes in testicular cholesterol level are physiologically important as
cholesterol is involved in spermatogenesis and is responsible for androgen
synthesis. In the study of the herbs impact on the treated animals, tissue
changes paralleled increased cholesterol level in the testes.15
Dried berries of another Indian herb, Embelia ribes, have a tradition
reputation for an anti-fertility activity. One of its active components,
embelin has been documented to possess significant anti-implantation activity
in rats but its hormonal activity is still controversial. Studies show that
embelin is a potent oral contraceptive of plant origin which possesses 85.71%
anti-implantation activity in rats when administered at 50 mg/kg for 7 days
and also inhibits pregnancy at single dose regimen. Embelin is also known
as embelic acid or to be chemically accurate 2, 5-dihydroxy-3-undecyl-2, 5-cyclohexadiene-1, 4-benzoquinone.
The ammonium salt is used in medicine as an anthelmintic.16 Embelin
inhibited pregnancy and also possesses anti-estrogenic and weak progestational
activity. From this it is possible that administration of embelin may cause
a disturbance in the hormonal levels and thus prevent implantation, since
specific hormonal equilibrium of estrogen and progesterone is required for
egg implantation. Another suggestion is that it produces a change in the
uterine environment which inhibits or interferes in the process of implantation.
It may also have a direct action on the hypothalamus and releasing factors,
interfering thereby with the secretion of gonadotropins.17
We are re-discovering the profound relationship that exists between plants
and humanity. As the old rapport is renewed in a new context, many insoluble
human problems will resolve. Inviting Gaia to point the way will open many
doors. Wether it be auto-immune disease, stress, arthritis or even population
explosion, the future looks bright indeed.

News round-up: a local look at the stimulus package
Heard the news? President Obama is slated to sign the much-debated economic stimulus bill into law Tuesday in Denver. The bill made it through Congress on Friday when the Senate voted 60-38 in favor of the legislation — after weeks of debate about the best way to jolt the economy out of recession.The final ticket price: $787 billion. But the question you're probably asking is: what does this mean for me? Or, more broadly, what does this mean for Vermonters?Good question. So far, it doesn't look like there's an easy answer — but over at the Burlington Free Press, a few experts weighed in. Among them is David Colander, professor of economics at Middlebury College. Colander offers this bit of wisdom: "Now is not the time to be focusing on what's good for individual states. The sole focus should be: What will slow, and possibly stop, the downward spiral that the U.S. economy is currently in. What I'm worried about is that we may not be able to stop it with any stimulus package. … (T)he government should be focusing on programs to lesson the pain of a prolonged recession — putting much more into unemployment insurance funds, and providing assisted health care for those who become unemployed. We may not be able to stop the unemployment, but we can lessen the pain somewhat." Colander's two cents are one man's opinion (or, more accurately, one economics professor's opinion). What do you think? How do you feel about the stimulus package, and what do you think it might mean (or should mean) here at home?

Developer Tools: API
Highlighter - Beta
Application Programming Interface (API)
The ABS Bible Search API is available via XML or JSON requests served over HTTP using RESTful resources. Accessing Bible passages via the API is a read-only process; you may access this content via HTTP GET requests.
Because the ABS Bible Search API is accessible via HTTP, you may use a regular browser to view all GET requests for the API. If you are using the XML interface, we recommend using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome for this, since they will happily render XML in the browser. JSON responses can also be viewed in the browser, but they are harder to read without formatting. For many URLs in the ABS Bible Search web application, you may simply append .xml or .js to the URL to retrieve the corresponding API response for that URL. For example,
/eng-GNTD/Gen/1 becomes
/eng-GNTD/Gen/1.xml to retrieve the XML version or
/eng-GNTD/Gen/1.js to retrieve the JSON version.
All requests to the ABS API are authenticated via an API application key. Using a Bible Search account, you can register each of your applications that use the API and you will get a unique authentication key for each fo them. Each application has read-only access to all of the Bible passages available to the API.
If you have not yet registered your API Application, please see the "How do I get access?" section of the Developer Tools: API page. Every request must include your application's API key. If necessary for your development environment, you may pass a dummy password along with your request.
Here is an example of how to use cURL to access our API. (The dummy password "X" is being passed with this request.)
curl -u #{your API token}:X -k https://vi.biblesearch.americanbible.org/v2/versions/eng-GNTD.xml
Remember to keep your authentication token private. Anything you can do via the website you can do via the API, so protect your API token as you would protect your username and password for the website. If you ever want to change your API token, go to the details page for your API App and click the "Request a new key" link.
Each request to the API can be made with or without a version number. If no version is specified, the current default API version will be used for the response.
The current default API version is version 1.
The version is specified with a /vX/ URL segment at the beginning of any URL. For example, this URL uses the default version:
And this URL uses version 2:
If a version is specified that is out of range (either too high or too low), it will be clamped to the closest valid version.
Making Secure (SSL) Requests
Because every request sends along your authentication token, it is in your best interest to always make secure API requests to keep your token safe. This means using SSL by specifying 'https' as the protocol for your URLs instead of 'http'. You'll notice that all our examples have URLs beginning with 'https://vi.biblesearch.americanbible.org/'. Access via non-SSL URLs still works, but is deprecated and not recommended.
Reading (HTTP GET requests)
There are two categories of actions used to read data from the ABS API: list and show. List actions return a collection of records (such as all versions of the Bibles ABS provides) and may sometimes be filtered by certain criteria described in this documentation. Each resource typically offers a single show action to return data about that individual resource (a particular book of a particular Bible version, for example). If a resource has a parent resource (a Version is the parent of a Book, for example), the child resource includes a parent node linking to the canonical URL of its parent. If a resource has sibling resources (e.g. next and previous chapters, if the resource is a Chapter), the resource will include next and previous nodes. A resource may have a next node, a previous node, or both. Sibling resources roll over to the siblings of parents and grandparents if necessary. For example, if a resource is the last chapter in a book, the next node will contain information about the first chapter in the next book.
You may access all list and show actions via GET requests. These are easily performed via either the browser or via command line:
Browser (load this URL in FireFox):
https://#{your API token}:vi.biblesearch.americanbible.org/v2/versions/eng-GNTD.xml
Command line (using curl):
curl -u #{your API token}:X -k https://vi.biblesearch.americanbible.org/v2/versions/eng-GNTD.xml
If the read request is successful, the XML response will include the status code "200 OK."
Note: Bible passages are only available via read requests. Write access is not available for Bible passages.
Searching (HTTP GET requests)
Fully automatic searches, where a general query is used and the site figures out the contents of the query, can be done via the search.xml endpoint. If the query looks like a passage search, the endpoint will redirect to the appropriate passage search url. If the query looks like a keyword search, the endpoint will redirect to the appropriate verse keyword search url.
Additionally, the user can specify that a search should only be considered a keyword search via a particular request to the Verses resources.
Error responses from the server will return a response code in the range 400-499. When appropriate, error responses will contain error messages formatted in either XML or JSON (depending on the requested content type) to explain what caused the error.
Response codes
Successful requests
Successful requests will return HTTP response codes in the 200s.
Record selected, updated, or deleted
Record created

GreenFare Organic Cafe
Exceptional food and dining experience. Plan to take your time during your visit. Food can take a while to prepare and, of course, take your time to savor it.
Excellent spot for healthy vegan meals. The ingredients are all organic and high quality. The meals are creative and delicious. This place also has its ethics in order. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Great healthy food and our server was so wonderful!!
Went for my BFs Birthday. Food was amazing, service was great and the candle on the desert was a nice touch.
GreenFare was the tastiest vegan dining experience I've ever had, and I loved that I came away guilt free even with appetizers and dessert! Also, they pay all of their staff (who were friendly and knowledgeable) a living wage. Ethical food is important to me, and the dining experience was five star! I'll be back.
Great place, but so far for us to travel. Wish there was one closer. Please open one in Columbia, Maryland.
Healthy yes, service yes
Food- OK
Price, absolutely ridiculous
Wonderful inviting place for a Mother's Day meal. The patrons explain the menu carefully at each step. It was delicious and healthy and fun
Went for lunch. The food was good but I thought it was expensive. $16 for an entree. One menu.
I've been to many vegan restaurants before and I knew that GreenFare will be a different experience due to not adding salt or oil in cooking and no processed foods. However, that doesn't excuse the lack of seasoning and texture in the food. I ordered the risotto and felt like I was eating bland mush. The potatoe and kale and Alfredo was better but still lacked flavor. The ginger bowl was ok. The best thing we had was the sweet potato lasagna. The mission of the restaurant is great and the service was good but being an organic vegan spot doesn't mean lack of flavor and textures. The menu needs some help but the restaurant has a lot of potential.
Always love it here
GreenFare is an excellent choice for Vegans/Vegetarians, actually there are not many restaurants in this area that are Vegan only. Portion sizes are large (enough for two people) and there are Gluten Free options. The atmosphere is casual and the service was excellent and friendly.
Outstanding meals. Forget the fact that it is vegan, just enjoy!
I've tried many dishes and haven't had one yet that I haven't liked...or loved!
Always a GREAT place. Gwynn and her team do plant based right!!!! They host many events as well. Give them a try... you will go back.
The food is excellent with great service.
Love this restaurant! Amazing combination of healthy (no added oils, salt or sugar) AND delicious plant based food. Things are labeled for allergies which is helpful as well. Great desserts too! Informal atmosphere that can be both casual or nice for a special occasion or date night (I've done all of the above there). Friendly and knowledgeable service also!
Amazing food, great choices and great service too-
Healthy food can taste good when it is prepared well and when done creatively. This restaurant focuses on being "only one of 6 certified organic in the country", not on taste. Add to it that the place was downright cold - I had to eat my lunch without taking the winter coat off. The waitress was wearing her down puffer as well. All in all, not a great experience. They told me that you should eat this stuff for 3 weeks to completely re-train your taste buds and start craving it. To me, it is not about not eating animal proteins, it is about the taste - having salt, pepper and hot sauce on the table so customers can make their food more palatable themselves is not really a solution - more of a deonstration of a problem. Any good restaurant would not have that on the table, so you can experience the food the way chef designed it. Here it is: put more salt on it, maybe it will seem better.
This was our first visit to GreenFare, the food was delicious, the staff was friendly. I drive over an hour to try the food and it was well worth the visit. There aren't enough restaurants that serve true whole food plant based options. My only complaint would be the additional add on's to the meal for $3 each dish, I thought there would have been more mushrooms in my dish and tofu for my husbands.
Quaint, clean dining area, featuring a delicious assortment of appetizers that is no processed sugars, no added salt and no oil. Personable and prompt service, too. We'll be returning for lunch soon!
If you are a Nutritarian (like we are) or anyone who wants to live a healthier lifestyle, this restaurant will show you that you don't have to limit the taste of food in your life. There is no better restaurant for healthy eating in the Washington DC area. Other vegan restaurants do not hesitate to add salt, sugar or oil to the food. The food here is outstanding.
Nice desserts! Overall a bit pricey and slow service, but very tasty. No other choices like it around!
I loved the warm and peaceful atmosphere within the cafe. I enjoyed the lasagna and it was so rich in flavor. I am no experimenting with vegan recipes at home!
I adored this place. My son and I were in Herndon for a Science Olympiad. The owner was there, engaged, and passionate about what they do, and they do it extremely well. We are not vegan, but we had the vegan lasagna and fettucini options and were delighted. The desserts were phenomenal. W e shall return.
My favorite and only one Vegan Restaurant. I can't image another place like this. It is probably the only one. No salt added not fat and wholefood, Oh My God It's what I do every day at home; then being at Greenfare Cafe is like being at home.
A very nice restaurant with a quiet atmosphere. I would definitely visit this restaurant again. The food selection was great also.
Nice atmosphere. The menu is derived from local, seasonal vegan food made out of whole unprocessed plant foods. No added oil. No added sugar. Fresh and refreshing.
Good concept, well executed.
When I go to vegan places as a non-vegan I get tired of faux dishes that don't come close. GreenFare doesn't provide pretend anything, it provides vegan dishes that are made to order and, from my experience, delightful. We had the Thai quinoa & the black bean, sweet potato enchilada, both were excellent.
Will definitely visit again.
Wonderful vegan food. Healthy, delicious and generous portions. Loved our Lunch experience
This is a weekly mainstay for us. They are the epitome of a vegan restaurant. Their dishes are cooked to order, so the wait may be slightly longer, but well worth it. If you want true, delicious vegan, this is your place.
Waiter had a lots of attitude, service was bad, food mediocre.
My brother and I took our dad out for a Father's Day dinner. It was our first time dining at this restaurant and we underestimated the portion size of our dishes. We ordered the Thai Quinoa, Spinach Alfredo with Tofu, and the Salad. We highly recommend the chocolate nut pie!
Delicious and healthy food. Good service. Doesn't get any better. Love this place!
Service was just a little slow, dinner with a group of 7 took close to two hours.
Fantastic food and lovely, friendly service. Everything on the menu is organic and plant-based (vegan). All items are delicious!
Great atmosphere and very fresh and creative food!
My daughter is vegan so we're always looking for options to support her. We are carnivores (did I really just admit that?) but really appreciate thoughtfully prepared plant-based food. This place CARES about quality and how a plant-based diet is so important to a healthy (symptom-free) lifestyle. The Southwest Chipotle Bowl is so filling, more than one person can eat and delicious! Considering your KickStart Program. I bought a cookbook!
We saw this restaurant on a tv special and decided to check it out. My husband worked in our Pastor's house but didn't want him to pay so he suggested eating out somewhere and I jumped at the chance to come to Green Fare. I nor any of us are vegan. My husband and I are close to vegetarian's so this type of food was familiar. Our pastor and wife were not but they enjoyed the meals they chose and we hoped it would give them ideas and motivation to eat healthier. The owner came by and told us about Green Fare and answered our questions. She was very informative and kind in her presentation. I would definitely go again but I wish they would come closer to our area with maybe another restaurant.
This restaurant caters to vegans. The food was not salted and did not contain any oil, which was a surprise to us revealed only when the food was brought out. At least two items on the children's meal contained hot red pepper flakes, which was very poor judgment for both the chef and us for not asking explicitly. The heat was not indicated or included as an ingredient on the menu. The kids' meals were not edible as a result of the spice. No parent likes to take their kids out to a restaurant that cannot feed them.
The ambiance was interesting. The paintings on the wall were of farm animals normally known for their contributions to the American diet. The mountains of books surrounding the tables suggested that the people who eat there were not yet convinced of veganism. For a niche restaurant, I'm sure this is a great spot for anyone who likes paying the 25% markup for the organic label, already is vegan and doesn't like to ingest fat to absorb the many nutrients you're eating (or salt) and whose kids have no problem with spicy food.

September 23, 2005
LOS ANGELES — UCLA Anderson School of Management was featured in three recent business school surveys. The Economist published its Economist Intelligence Unit's "Which MBA?" 2005 ranking of full-time MBA programs, Business 2.0 ranked the investment value of an MBA, and The Wall Street Journal ranked UCLA Anderson among the top business schools nationwide.
"Our MBA programs consistently demonstrate their enduring value and growing reputation for our students, alumni and corporate recruiters," said Bruce G. Willison, dean of UCLA Anderson School of Management.
The Economist
On September 23, 2005, The Economist released its Economist Intelligence Unit annual MBA rankings and UCLA Anderson ranked #15 in business schools worldwide (up three spots from the 2004 ranking), #11 among U.S. business schools. The Economist Intelligence Unit surveys MBA students about why they choose an MBA and base the rankings on four factors:
- Ability to open new career opportunities and/or further current career;
- Personal development and educational experience;
- To increase salary;
- The potential to network.
Business 2.0
In its Sept. 2005 issue, Business 2.0 published its "ROI on Your MBA", an Insiders Guide to America's Top Business Schools. This report (not a ranking) sets out to explore the value of the cost of an MBA, what sets each program apart and what it's like to attend these top schools. UCLA Anderson was featured in the top 25 schools in the nation who average the highest GMAT scores. UCLA Anderson's average GMAT score of 710 is the third highest among all the MBA programs listed. The article features UCLA Anderson graduates David Schiff ('05) and Steve Wadsworth ('88) and identifies strengths that include entrepreneurship and entertainment.
The Wall Street Journal
On Sept. 21, 2005, The Wall Street Journal published its fifth annual Wall Street Journal/Harris Interactive survey of corporate recruiters, the results of which culminated into "The Wall Street Journal Guide to Business Schools: Recruiters' Top Picks."
UCLA Anderson ranked 19th on the national schools ranking of top business schools in this survey. The survey consists of three separate rankings:
- National schools in North America
- Regional schools in North America
- International schools

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Authorities say an Albuquerque man has been arrested for drunken driving — after he called police on himself.
KRQE-TV reports that Antonio Candelaria recently was arrested when officers found him drunk in his driveway and lying on the ground with his foot stuck in his motorcycle.
Police say the 50-year-old had called police for help after getting his foot stuck.
According to police, Candelaria's breath test results came out above .16, which is twice the legal limit in New Mexico.
Court records showed that Candelaria had a long list of DWI arrests and a handful of convictions.
It was unclear if Candelaria had an attorney.
