Colours Advice
Most important is – whatever colour schemes you choose, be sure to get testers first to try out as the colours will appear to change in different rooms or even on different walls due to the incident lighting……. North facing light can sometimes make pure whites and pale blues, pale greens & greys look cool & clinical – in a north-facing room, creams, off-whites & neutral stone-like colours are a better choice as they are inherently "warming" – unless your preference is for a cooling colour scheme. Paint directly onto your walls or onto A4 paper & move around the room to be absolutely sure of your choices before committing to buy in bulk.
Bold colours – are fine even in large areas but a couple of things to remember – dark colours "advance" & lighter colours tend to recede, so a dark ceiling will seem to be much lower - and a lighter one will float away upwards – these effects can be used to manipulate your living spaces – for example, to foreshorten a corridor by painting the door at the end in a darker colour or to lift a low ceiling by painting it a paler shade than the walls. If you want to be adventurous with colour, remember than you can always go extreme in bathrooms, utilities and (to a lesser extent) kitchens, as these spaces are not a "lived in" environment but rather serve a specific shorter time function.
Neutrals, creams, off-whites & stone-like colours are perennially popular for very good reason – they are easy to live with & team up superbly with natural furnishings, wood, stone & carpets – if you feel that you need a flourish in your living room, a feature wall done out in a bold paint colour or wallpaper will energize the whole room, whereas a whole room in a bold floral or geometric print can easily become overwhelming very quickly.

Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna will be coming into your homes reality-style.
Hamlin and Rinna, who have been married for 11 years, have inked a deal with TV Land to star in an unscripted series that would follow the lives of the husband-and-wife duo along with their two daughters, Delilah, 10, and Amelia, 7.
So far, the network has only ordered a pilot presentation of the untitled series, and it will be produced by Jason Carbone, says The Hollywood Reporter.
"Ever since I started here (in May 2006), I've been out in the marketplace looking for a celebrity couple with dynamic stories to tell, and when I met Lisa and Harry, it made sense," said TV Land's executive vice president of development, Keith Cox.
Hamlin will be playing uncle to Christopher Gorham on CBS' Harper's Island this spring, while Rinna strutted her stuff on the second season of Dancing with the Stars.
Rinna is also a red-carpet commentator for the TV Guide Network alongside Joey Fatone.

Guys got a quick question....I have the propane Master Forge smoker, and have added a digital thermometer, better chip box, and used permatex to make a gaskest on the doors to hold the smoke loss down. My question is I have a fish cooker not being used presently, what if I take the burner and replace the one that came with the smoker with it. If I do this can I control the temps better with it or just stick with the one that came with it?

Windhover Floral at Climate Conference
Floral is one of the things we love best on the farm. Hop floral has been a seasonal offer every year at Windhover Farm, Home of the Northern Girls Hopyard. We love the dense green cone wreaths of harvest time that bring their tradition of abundance for the year to come into homes and breweries in the fall.
Hitting closest to our hearts and the children in us is the Wild Floral we are privileged to provide when requested.
Foraging for native floral at Windhover Farm.
Beginning as little children we learn to live with the forest. What we learned then by experience is, what we understand as adults, a long lesson in observing and knowing-by-working-with the interconnection of an ecosystem, the forest and all its plants and creatures including ourselves.
The wild floral displayed at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change pre-conference workshop for the Cities and Climate Science Conference this week (March 2018) have been gathered from the parkland boreal forests on Windhover Farm. The plants and mosses are gifts of the boreal climate. They sat centre-of-table to join their voices with the human discussants working on this important issue. To us they speak of awe, inspiration, and in the context of the Climate Conference, also purpose . We hope everyone viewing a wild bouquet from the farm enjoys loosing themselves for a moment in the beauty of field and forest gifts.
Respecting Honouring Stewarding Plant Diversity

While returning from Switzerland on board of their Cessna, two comedians - whose relationships are almost near to a breaking point, bump into a black cloud that causes their plane falling in a mysterious place, where it is possible to land on the electricity cables "like swallows".
In that place they meet an odd and peculiar creature that has got out of a cactus.
Maybe when you have got everything in your life, you risk to get lost in that "too much" you had. Sabbie Mobili (Shifting Sands) is a tale, a journey for finding yourself.

This week has been really interesting when I started working after the vacation and the paticipation in a KAL during the WM.Some houres of knitting in my sparetime every day and eventually I saw some competitions on the TV.Well I listened a little but.......No medals for Sweden but many very good results for other nations.
Here you can see what other participants have done.
Sunday, August 16, 2009

The wristwarmers are made in handdyed wool/kashmir from www.sannsticks.se and also the pattern is from her.Irmelie is the name of the pattern.Nice to knit and to wear.

White orkid and socks
A new week,the last of my vacarions,starts with flowers,a cup of tea and knitting socks.
The black ones are made by yarn from
and the other pair in blue/green is made of yarn from
The black ones are made in no special pattern but the yarn is so smooth,it's in 80 % merino wool and 20 %nylon.I started with a lace pattern but it's too varigated so I choosed to do some rows in a different colour on the cuff.
The blue/green ones are made in 75% wool and 25 % polyamid.The pattern is from a KAL of Summer Lovin on www.ravelry.com.The pattern is so wonderful to do so the knitting make me so happy.Both the yarns are hand dyed.
The orkid is a gift I'v got from the girlfriend of my son.Thank you so much M.You really made me so happy and you really knew my favourite orkid and the white colour.
We have had the great happiness to have our both boys and the girlfiend of the eldest with us for 2 weeks.

The Great Outdoors-man
Summer months in the shop remind me that some of the best vintage is outdoorsman vintage! Much of the mystique of men's vintage clothing (and women's) can come from the former ideals of masculinity (or femininity) that various pieces evoke—as if to put on a porkpie hat, bomber jacket or slim sixties suit is to try on the manly personas of those who originally wore them. Nowhere does that seem clearer than in the man-vs-nature charm of vintage camping, fishing and hunting clothes. Leather, wool flannel and cotton canvas fabrics. Buffalo check and camouflage patterns. Boots for wading backwoods streams; thick, scratchy hunting pants to beat the early morning chill; hats and vests for holding shotgun shells and attaching lures. Sure, now we have performance fabrics and high-tech gear that are far superior in every way, except perhaps aesthetics. There is an obvious sportiness, durability and purpose to vintage outdoor clothing like those pieces in the above shop gallery, not unlike the men who once wore them.

To say that the map for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited: Orsinium is massive is an understatement. Huge in scope with plenty to see and do, the first DLC for ESO is a blast to play through, even if its more of the same fun from the main game.
A part of an expedition to Wrothgar to help rebuild a once proud Orc civilization, you'll find a bevy of new friends and allies once you get there. Although it's a lot of fetch-quest-based gameplay, there's a depth to the story and the new characters and dungeons help flesh things out nicely. Some of the storylines are more immersive than you'd expect and thanks to some tough enemies and vivid and cool side quests, this DLC is something dedicated fans of the series can quickly latch on to. However, what is usually the case in the Elder Scrolls series, traversing the new map is the coolest part of the DLC.
From the snow covered mountains to the small towns and eventually greenery, it's a beautiful environment, filled with secrets and treasure. Simply put, wandering around alone amounts to a wild amount of fun if the Elder Scrolls is your go-to game. If you only have a passing fancy with the series however, you won't feel like all that much has changed.
That's where the Maelstrom Arena changes things. An area designed for brawling, it's a destination that adds more beef to the familiar feeling DLC. A real test of ones character, you'll face waves of enemies that won't let up. By the end of it all, you'll have a good idea of what you've done right and wrong over the course of leveling-up your character. While it's a cool time killer and addition to the gameplay mix, it's not enough to bring back players that feel there's nothing new to the series.
Overall, the new stretch of land is ultimately for hardcore fans that can't get enough ESO. Gamers that want a few extra gameplay additions mixed into the formula won't get it here, but they will get a bevy of new quests and dungeons, there's enough things to do to take them into 2016.
Massive Map: With over 20 hours of gameplay, new animals, weapons and quests, the massive map puts everything in a wild perspective. There's simply too much to see and do.
Cool Missions: From rescuing people in caves to killing off tough new World Bosses, there's plenty of spice to the mission types.
More of the Same: It's a lot of fun, but it isn't as different an experience as you would expect.
Difficult: Even though you can jump into the DLC regardless of your level, you'll enjoy it a lot more if you spent some serious time in the main game.
Not a Great Multi-Player Experience: Much of the same problems from the original remain as its just not a game that plays great with friends
Final Thoughts:
As a single-player RPG, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited: Orsinium is a fun experience, but as an MMORPG, it lacks the bells and whistles needed to make it special with friends. In spite of the difficulty and the need to play in teams to truly thrive, it's hard to feel compelled to. Regardless, there's a ton to do and see. Overall, helping the Orcs rebuild their ancient civilization is a blast, just not in the way you'd expect.

Recently, the Practice Committee of the AAGL developed guidelines for the management of intrauterine adhesions (IUA), published in the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology (2010). This is a welcome initiative, and long-awaited, with over one century passing since the first description of Asherman's syndrome in the literature (1). Although these guidelines were based on studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals, there are limitations and room for more specific guidelines, as the authors themselves acknowledge, due to a lack of comparative studies and rigorous medical evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). For example, studies were conducted using different surgical modalities, surgical tools, adjunctive therapies, and hormone therapy protocols. Many studies are also old and/or conducted retrospectively. One of the difficulties of studying IUA is that it is under diagnosed so that many women may not realize they have it. This results in a small sample size for studies, especially when patient treatment is spread between different centers. Additionally, the skills of the surgeon are important in influencing outcome which makes comparisons between different studies difficult. Consequently, drawing meaningful conclusions on treatment is problematic. To circumvent these shortcomings, the authors classified data based on the highest level of evidence found in the data and graded them according to a system outlined by the US Preventive Services Task Force. In most cases the evidence is based primarily on consensus and expert opinion (Level C). Hopefully trials will be forthcoming which meet today's strict standards of clinical research, and recommendations which are stronger and more specific will result from them.
The goal of IUA management is to restore the volume and architecture of the uterine cavity and its communication with the fallopian tubes and cervical canal by removing IUA, preventing their recurrence and regenerating deficient endometrial growth.
Below is a summary of the recommendations of the article. My additional comments are in blue font.DIAGNOSISHysteroscopy is the most accurate method for diagnosis of IUA and should be chosen over HSG and SHG (although the latter are reasonable alternatives if hysteroscopy is not available).
(Grade B)
Although there are several classification systems, none is considered superior over the other, probably reflecting inadequacies in all current systems. (Grade C)
An accurate and universal classification system for IUA is important for enabling the comparison of studies and providing prognostic indicators of fertility outcome. (Grade B)
Only expert hysteroscopists familiar with IUA treatment should attempt to treat extensive or dense adhesions. (Level C)(Surgeons who are inexperienced may inadvertantly cause further irreparable damage).
Direct visualization of the uterus during hysteroscopic lysis of adhesions using a tool for dissection is the treatment of choice for IUA which underlies infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, pain or other related symptoms. (Level C).
In some women expectant management may be acceptable. (Level C)
(ie. if adhesions are thin and filmy and/or cover a small surface area treatment benefits may not outweigh treatment risks).
Estrogen therapy with or without progestin may reduce reformation of IUAs. (Level B)(Estrogen therapy dose and length will depend on severity. See also Recommendations for Future Research).
Gel barriers such as hyaluronic acid and auto-cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel may reduce IUA recurrence follow surgical correction, however there is not enough data on pregnancy outcomes following their use, so should not be used without more rigorous trials. (Level A)
(Potential problems with gel barriers are that they are difficult to keep in place, become less viscous at body temperature, draining out of the uterus. See also Recommendations for Future Research).
Foley catheter or IUD should not be used routinely after corrective surgery without further data from trials supporting their benefit. This is because they may increase the risk for infection. (Level C)
(There have been reports of IUDs puncturing the uterus. Also, some doctors also believe that intrauterine pressure from balloons can hinder endometrial regeneration. However, both the Foley catheter and the Cook stent-which curiously was not mentioned in the article-have been used successfully (2)).
Supporting or refuting the use of prophylactic antibiotics before, during or after surgical adhesiolysis. (Level C)
(However, antibiotic prophylaxis should be used in the case of barriers, as a foreign object inside the uterus increases the risk of infection. See also Recommendations for Future Research).
Medications to improve blood flow to the endometrium should be used only after being supported by rigorous research. (Level C)(These include low-dose aspirin, Coenzyme Q-10, vitamin E, and Sildenafil citrate.ie. Viagra, and even herbal remedies such as raspberry leaf tea).
Prevention of complications (eg. perforation) or improved outcomes with the use of external imaging techniques or laparoscopy, however these techniques may have advantages in case perforation does occur. (Level B)(Another advantage is that laparoscopy allows the surgeon to view the pelvic cavity where there may be endometriosis (3), especially in the more severe cases where laparoscopy is often used).
There is no evidence to support blind D&C or blind cervical probing in the treatment of IUA (Level C)(The authors state that D&C should not be used because it does not permit accurate diagnosis and classification. The bigger concern should be that blind curettage may cause further and irreversible damage and is the underlying cause of most IUA (4)).
Copper (inflammatory), progestin-releasing (suppress endometrium) and T-shaped IUDs (small surface area) should not be used after adhesiolysis. (Level C)
Laparotomy should be considered as a last resort (eg. when hysteroscopic surgery fails) (Level C)Electrosurgery/laser: There is some disagreement over which tools are best suited for adhesiolysis. Some surgeons prefer to use microscissors and stress that thermal energy tools offer no advantage over scissor dissection with regards to either speed or hemostasis (2). Furthermore, these modalities (including resectoscope, Nd:YAG laser, monopolar/bipolar electrode) deliver energy that can cause injury to surrounding tissues and therefore some believe it is prudent to avoid them for the treatment of IUA (2). Indeed, electrosurgical tools are normally used for endometrial ablation which burns away endometrium and intentionally induces Asherman's syndrome in women with excessive bleeding. However, other doctors claim that in experienced hands these tools are safe. Which ever the case, this is an issue which probably needs to be further examined to refute any safety concerns.POSTOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT:Follow-up evaluation of the uterine cavity is recommended after treatment of IUA. (Level B).(This is an important factor in determining outcome as adhesions may reform and further surgery may be needed. If a pregnancy occurs in a uterus with IUA, there is a higher likelihood of infertility, miscarriage and pregnancy complications (5). Patients should undergo either HSG, SHG, or in-office hysteroscopy (with as narrow cervical dilation as possible) in order to verify the uterine cavity is free of adhesions. A mid-cycle scan should also be used to measure the endometrial thickness at ovulation. Ideally this should measure 7-8 mm for implantation to be successful. Some women with corrected IUA have thin endometrium which may require hormone treatment to thicken. If adhesions blocking the ostium are present, natural conception is not possible and IVF will be recommended).
1. Prospective trials on the effect of intraoperative and postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis on surgical and fertility outcome.(I don't know of doctors who do not use antibiotics during or after operative hysteroscopy. Also, the article states: "…it has been proposed that infection may be a primary cause of IUAs…" Antibiotic prophylaxis is wise for preventing infections whether or not they lead to IUA. However, at this stage, there is actually no evidence to support that most IUAs result from infection, whether frank or subclinical. In fact, there is limited evidence to the contrary (6,7). Also see The subclinical infection myth).2. Prospective trials of adjunctive hormone therapy efficacy with respect to surgical and fertility outcome.(The optimum dosage of estrogen (E2 with or without progestin, P4) and length of treatment have not been studied. Progynova (Estradiol valerate) a synthetic version of a naturally occurring estrogen or Premarin, a combination of around 11 conjugated equine estrogens extracted from pregnant mare urine, are usually used. These compounds have not been compared to each other in trials).
3. Prospective trials of barrier method (IUD, Foley catheter and gel adhesion barriers) efficacy with respect to surgical and fertility outcome.
(Presumably the Cook stent, which is used by some doctors (2), should also be included in trials. Regarding the use of gel adhesion barriers which are potentially the least invasive and risky type of barrier, one questions why there is not more research on their use to prevent IUA from occurring in the first place. If gel barriers are therapeutic for reducing IUA reformation after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis perhaps their use after D&C and other primary intrauterine surgery would reduce the incidence of IUA. There is so far only one study and results show only 10% of women who received Seprafilm after curettage for miscarriage developed IUA vs 50% amongst controls (8)).4. Stem cells for future treatment: As discussed in a previous blog, some cases are currently not treatable because the extent of damage to the basal endometrium (sometimes curettage even removes part of the underlying myometrium) from which the functional layer regenerates. This leads to persistently thin endometrium or reformation of IUA after corrective surgery and excludes the possibility of carrying a pregnancy. Surrogacy is the only option in such cases. However Dr Chaitanya Nagori and Dr Sonal Panchal of Nagori Institute of Infertility in India claim to have used stem cell technology to thicken the endometrium in women who underwent excessive 'cleaning' up of the uterus (ie. a euphemism for D&C), although they do not mention the presence of IUA. The process involved isolating adult stem cells from the bone marrow of the patient, transplanting the purified stem cells into the patient's uterine cavity under transvaginal sonographic guidance, and stimulating the production of endometrial angiogenic stem cells by administering estrogen before IVF treatment. Using this technique they reportedly were able to increase 'negligible' endometrial growth to 6mm three months after the transfer and estrogen therapy. Although they assert that IVF drugs alone did not increase the patient's endometrial measurement, it remains to be proven whether this effect is due to the post-transplant estrogen treatment or from the stem cell therapy. Nonetheless, the concept of using stem cells for tissue repair in the uterus is intriguing, and possibly the best hope in future for very severe cases of IUA (uterine transplant is another future possibility). This could be more convincing if recurrent IUA was prevented with stem cells following hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. Definitive proof would be obtained if the stem cells and their progeny were biochemically labeled so as to be identifiable from the original tissue. This could be done in animal studies, for example. The great advantage of stem cells is that they have the capacity to differentiate into a range of cells that are necessary to rebuild a normal uterus, from myometrium and endometrium to the blood vessels which supply them with blood and hormones. Furthermore, as the stem cells are derived from the patient's own bone marrow ie. autologous adult stem cells, there is no risk of either rejection or ethical controversy (as with embryonic stem cells). Unfortunately at this stage there are no published studies on this treatment.

1. Use your salad plate for your meal. This will naturally cut at least 200 calories…especially since the salad plates we use now are super-sized. You can fill your plate without guilt since it is a smaller size. Because humans are visual eaters, you will naturally feel that this 'full' plate will fill you up and satisfy you.
2. Take a brisk walk every day. Whether you take a walk alone to center your thoughts and prepare for your day or you walk with family and friends to socialize, make sure you walk everyday to get physical activity that will burn calories. Don't think you have time for walking? Yes, you do…build it into your day by taking the stairs instead of the elevator and park farther from the door. Every step counts!
3. Focus on the social aspect of the holidays instead of the food. If you are more excited about seeing your family and friends than you are about eating Grandma's pumpkin pie, you will not eat as much since that is not the focus. Trust me this works.
4. Eat whatever you choose in moderation. Do not restrict yourself from your favorite holiday foods. That is a set up for a binge. Your will power to not eat these foods will only last a certain length of time and then you will switch into rationalization mode. Rationalizing food typically leads to over indulgence. So eat a small amount of whatever you want and enjoy every bite!
5. Wear fitted clothes during the holidays as a constant motivator to make good food decisions and maintain your figure. If you feel good in your little black dress, you will not be as tempted to eat everything on the dessert tray and bust the zipper!
Happy Holidays!

Old resentments and sibling rivalries bubble to the surface as the hilariously dysfunctional Gordon family of Harrison, Texas, spar to claim the biggest piece of the pie in the wildly funny, Tony-nominated DIVIDING THE ESTATE by Pulitzer Prize and Oscar-winning Horton Foote. Matriarch Stella Gordon keeps her aging and money-strapped children on a short financial leash with no plans to split her 100-year old estate. But the kids have other ideas.
Undivided Praiseby playgoer
Sunday, April 20, 2014
Horton Foote's script for "Dividing the Estate" is a somewhat desultory affair concerning the situation of a land-rich, cash-poor matriarch whose passing is anticipated by her three children. One child wants the mother's estate divided before her death, another is staunchly opposed, and the third vacillates. There's no satisfying conclusion to the matter, just complication after complication. In the wrong hands, this script could result in a maddeningly dull, pointless production. Luckily, Theatrical Outfit has assembled a group of personnel consisting of precisely the right hands.
Director Tom Key has wrung nearly all the comedy possible out of the script. Big laughs are obtained from little things, like a sudden change of expression or a well-placed pause. All these little comic moments work in service of the overall flow of the script. Pacing keeps things moving, and blocking daringly puts actors' backs to the audience in natural ways at some points, with movements or posture ensuring that sightlines aren't obstructed long, even for audience members in the front row.
The actors playing the roles seem to have been encouraged to develop the interior lives of their characters so that they act, react, and interact with subtlety and precision. I was particularly pleased with the relationship between Son (Scott Warren) and his intended (Elizabeth Wells Berkes), which gave a breath of hope and love in the midst of severe family dysfunction. The only performances that didn't entirely convince me were those of Rob Cleveland, who is too hale to be totally believable as a near-death nonagenarian, and of Jessica Miesel, who appears a bit colorless in personality as granddaughter Sissie.
Colorless can't be used to describe the costumes by Jonida Beqo. The play takes place in 1987, and the clothing and big hair create an oversized kaleidoscope of design that keeps visual interest throughout. The time-specific quality of the clothes contrasts with the timeless quality of the scenery, designed by Isabel and Moriah Curley-Clay. Floor-to-ceiling shutters flank three windows, with column cornices and doorways marking the delineation between dining room and living room. There are no walls, just pictures suspended in space where the walls would be. A schematic tree lurks outside, limbs with Spanish moss extending above the top of the set and roots surrounding its floor, giving a literal sense of the overreaching power of the gnarled family tree. The only negative comments I heard about the design elements of the show were for daughter Lucille sporting a white belt with multiple outfits, while her shoes were black; for dining room chairs being upholstered in two different patterns; and for staples being visible on the border of the upholstery on a stool.
The timelessness of the set is given one time-specific touch by MC Park's prop of a Rubik's cube. Mostly, it sits there on a table next to a Kleenex box. It is handled once, and I wish Jessica Miesel's business of fiddling with the Rubik's cube had been directed so that she solved it in a few twists, which would have hinted at hidden depths under her vapid exterior and would have pointed to the overwhelming influence on her of the shallowness of the rest of her family.
As for the acting, it offers the finest ensemble work that is likely to be seen anywhere. Mary Lynn Owen (with splendid age makeup) and Tess Malis Kincaid exhibit exquisite comic timing as the matriarch and her most contentious daughter. Marianne Hammock plays the other daughter with verve and charm, while Bart Hansard gives the drunken, lachrymose son as much life as the script allows. The estate-managing grandson is played by Scott Warren with low-key conscientiousness that beautifully balances the somewhat pedantic volubility of schoolteacher Pauline, winningly played by bespectacled Elizabeth Wells Berkes. Caroline Freedlund, as a granddaughter, and Maria Rodriguez-Sager, as the son's too-young girlfriend, breathe life into the youngest characters, holding their own with the veterans that surround them. Servants Mildred and Cathleen are played by S. Renee Clark and Danielle Deadwyler with what would be scene-stealing intensity and guile were they surrounded by less accomplished actors. Mark Kincaid, playing the husband of his real-life wife, brings a hard-nosed (but incompetent) businessman to life. The acting talent amazes; the acting skill amazes even more so.
"Dividing the Estate" is by no means a well-made play in which plot points move inexorably to a satisfying conclusion. The charm of Horton Foote's plays doesn't come from the bones of the plot, though, but from the real-life interactions and conversations that surround it. When the interactions and conversations are undertaken by as stellar a cast as Theatrical Outfit has assembled, and when they're directed by a master like Tom Key, the results are stunning.

2016 brought a flood of vitality, in all of its chaos and glory. there was the feverish experience of working at a small nonprofit, the anguish of november 2016 and the ensuing dread and disbelief. and yet through it all, there persisted the constant hum and bustle of life.
perhaps part of this new perception comes from living in a real city for the first time. to have neighbors across a narrow streets whose windows are so close, i can hear their music and see them read, to be surrounded by the constant reminder that the world is full of others living their lives, the way that their – and i suppose, my – private life is in part put on display, is jarring yet exhilarating.
now a good fourth of the way into 2017, it feels right to return to fort juniper with this recipe, one of my favorites to make in cooler weather. spring has seemed tantalizingly close for months, and yet the weather predicts that this friday will be 48ºF. these braised short ribs make for a leisurely late afternoon project on the weekends. i've made it wheat ale, with pilsner, and even with stout. i've used butternut and honeynut squash before and have added shallots on occasion. each time, it turns out comfortingly delicious.
makes 4-6 servings
4 lb bone-in beef short ribs, cut into 3-in pieces (or 2 lb boneless beef short ribs, cut into 3-in pieces)
salt & freshly ground pepper
1 large head garlic
3 medium yellow onions, coarsely chopped
3 carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 sprigs thyme
2 large sprigs parsley + 2 tbsp chopped parsley, divided
1/2 cup honey
1 (12-oz) bottle wheat ale (or beer of your choice)
darra goldstein. fire + ice: classic nordic cooking. new york: ten speed press, 2015.
2 remove outer papery skin from head of garlic and cut ~1/2 in off top to reveal the cloves.
3 return short ribs to pan and nestle hear of garlic among them, cut side up. strew onions and carrots among the meat, and stick the thyme and parsley sprigs in any nooks. (sometimes, I tie the thyme and parsley together so that I can easily remove them before serving.)
4 whisk together honey and beer in a bowl and pour mixture over meat and vegetables (it won't cover them). cover the pan tightly with lid and bake for 2 hours.
5 raise oven temperature to 400ºF and continue to bake meat until it is very tender and liquid has turned slightly syrupy, about 45-55 minutes more.
6 skim off as much fat as you can. you can serve the ribs right out of the pan or transfer to a deep serving bowl. garnish with minced parsley and serve hot. (to reheat, place stew in oven at 300ºF for about an hour.)

Today one of the most live questions in Australia is the question of whether Kevin Rudd is capable of being a better PM than he was during his very eventful first term (in which he spared Australia's economy from the GFC), which was cut short in mid 2010 by "the coup". Can Rudd change? Has the bruising experience of being sacked at short notice given Rudd cause for reflection and transformation? I've read one commentator who seems to actually have a clue about political history (unlike myself) who claimed that in general party leaders do a better job second time around. I can't offer any opinion on this point, or on the question of whether Rudd has changed for the better since 2010 (clearly his appearance has changed and he's looking considerably older). On one point though, there is plenty of evidence which I'd like to point out. Is Rudd capable of major personal change? I'd argue that he has already undergone a striking self-created transformation in his transition from bureaucrat to politician, but it is debatable whether this was a deep or a superficial change.
As David Marr (has he been reading my ex-published piece about Rudd?) recently pointed out on ABCTV, Rudd had to undertake a major transformation in order to become a successful politician. Some people are born politicians, but it appears that Rudd is not one of these people. Perhaps this is the wellspring of his appeal with the Australian people. Rudd was a spectacularly successful politician in 2007, but don't forget that he was once an electoral loser. If there is a formula for "Politics for Dummies" Rudd surely discovered it, smart and persistent as he is, and perhaps following this winning formula with discipline is a more effective method of winning elections than a less conscious and planned approach.
Rudd's first attempt at politics was unsuccessful. In 1996 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the seat of Griffith in Queensland. It is an almost constant theme in the body of literature about successful role models in business and other fields that very successful people have failure in their past, and they bounce back and also learn from their failure or failures, and that learning is possibly of crucial importance. In 1998 Rudd managed to win the seat of Griffith, and it has been the base of his career ever since. Rudd is now widely acknowledged as a brilliant political campaigner. He has come a long way. Some time between 1996 and 1998 a self-initiated metamorphosis evidently happened. The best place that I know to find information about this is the book Inside Kevin 07 by Christine Jackman. This is a book completely lacking in objectivity, as Jackman was a friend of the Rudd's when it was written (and could still be for all I know), but the advantage to this is that it gives a much more intimate account of the personalities involved with Rudd's 2007 electoral triumph, and Jackman was able to source a lot of information about the time before Rudd was a politician, from people who were there at the time. Rudd's former boss ex-premier of Queensland Wayne Goss and Rudd's brother lobbyist Greg Rudd both described Kevin's metamorphosis in the book. He lost a lot of his illusions and naivety about what it takes to succeed in politics, and most importantly, he got out among the people at every opportunity, a crash course in personal charm and dealing with humans. It worked! It is one thing to read this in a book, but a picture tells a thousand words, they say. I knew if this personal transformation was really as dramatic as they say in the book, there should be a considerable difference between Rudd's appearance before and after. We've all seen the "after" shots of Rudd in unavoidable media saturation, but the "before" shots are rarely shown in media stories and are surprisingly hard to find on the internet. I'm sorry that I can't offer any link to a photo or video of Rudd before 1998. There was once one blurry amateur shot on one of the photo-sharing websites (could have been Flickr) of a young Rudd campaigning in 1996, but it appears that it has been withdrawn from publication. It was amazing. It was like a different person. THe iconic smile was absent. Rudd stood with a hunched posture looking like he had not a single shred of confidence. A woman looking like that would attract labels such as "wallflower" or "shrinking violet". I know, I've been there, done that! In my opinion this photo casts into doubt the unfortunately popular idea that Rudd has some kind of personality disorder associated with inflated self-image, such as narcississtic PD. It is my understanding that such disorders are inborn, but it appears that there was once a time in his adult years when Rudd manifested as quite a different personality.
I'm so sorry that I can't find anything like that shot to show you first hand, because seeing is believing. I know that Rudd is capable of change, and you can check the evidence yourself in the book. Rudd has changed dramatically in the past, by learning in response to failure. This is a hallmark of very high achievers. Whether or not he has tired of changing to meet the demands of others, or has the basic resources to again meet the needs of the top job in our nation while also leading a high-powered team, are questions that I can only guess at.

My blog for rants and observations about politics, especially Australian politics. Pet peeves include corruption in politics, science and medicine and the aggressive promotion of psychiatry. I've often wondered why it appears that scum rise to the top and smartest, most honest people leave or are marginalized. I'm also peeved about the victimization of asylum-seekers by the Australian govt. and the parlous state of federal politics in general. - Lili Marlene (not my real name)

Can Rudd change? History says he's done it before

Pew Forum Senior Fellow John Green and American Enterprise Institute Resident Fellow Karlyn Bowman analyze polling data to address such issues as whether Democrats closed the "God gap," which religious groups were "in play" this election, and whether or not religion polarizes voters.
The religious divide in voting that has characterized American politics over the last several elections largely persisted in the 2006 election. But people in most religious groups say they are happy that the Democrats won.
Widely cited findings from the national exit polls suggest Latinos tilted heavily Democratic in the 2006 election, taking back most of the support they had granted the Republicans just two years earlier. Does that mean the Latinos who flirted with the Republican Party are now firmly back in the Democratic camp?
In the aftermath of the 2006 election, the shifting allegiance of some important voter groups has gotten relatively little attention. One of the biggest stories is about young people. Another is what really happened to "The God Gap." And a third is about the one-fifth of voters who aren't white.
With roughly 95% of the votes tallied so far in House races across the country, the overall partisan breakdown is 52% for Democratic candidates, 46% for Republican candidates and 2% for others. In actual votes, Democratic House candidates in 2006 have already tallied nearly 5 million more votes than they did in 2002, while the Republican tally is down more than 3 million from four years ago.
The key to the strong Democratic showing yesterday was the support their candidates drew from moderate and independent voters, an analysis of the exit polls shows. With more than nine-in-ten Republicans and Democrats casting ballots for representatives of their parties, just as they did two years ago, the Democrats' 57%-39% advantage among independents proved crucial.
In recent decades, there have been three basic ways that turnout has worked to produce the sort of "big wave" midterm that the Democrats are hoping for next week.
Political pollsters continue to cast a wary eye on the growing number of Americans who use only a cell phone and have no landline. The Pew Research Center estimates that this group now constitutes one-in-ten adults. But three Pew surveys of cell-only Americans this year have found that their absence from landline surveys is not creating a measurable bias in the bottom-line findings.
In a Pew Forum roundtable conversation, Forum senior fellow John Green and two prominent journalists speculate that it will be difficult for the Republican Party to mobilize evangelicals to go to the polls in great numbers next month. They also discuss challenges faced by the Democratic Party in appealing to this segment of the electorate.

Ok, so it seems that everyone and their mother are doing some sort of blog these days.
So, I thought why not. It just means that I can get my thoughts and frustrations out there
for the whole world to see and maybe comment on. I know, there will be a lot of criticism
as well, but, that is ok as well. I am all for it.
So, a little about me. I am a mother of four beautiful children, who are all very different.
Josh, my oldest, is funny, outgoing and is a partner in a construction business. Cassie, my
oldest daughter, is in her fourth year of college. She is a hard worker and definitely outgoing
also. Cody, youngest son, is a little more hot headed but, outgoing as well. He is very
independent and does not want help. Then last but not least there is Morgan, my youngest
daughter. What can I tell you about her? Well, she is definitely defiant and has her own agenda.
She is always on the go and wants to do things her own way. 15 and knows everything. Ha.
Anyhow, I am also married to a wonderful man named, Garrett. He is a very subdues man
and is happy almost every day. He goes to work everyday sick or not. We have been married
for a little over three years now and I can not see myself without him at any time. I love that
And then there is me. I am an outgoing person, this must be where the children get it. My life
consists of going to work and then coming home and doing the normal motherly duties like cook,
clean and do laundry among other things. Some of my hobbies are drawing abstract art, watching
sports, playing with my grandbaby Danny. He is the cutest thing ever.
Well, what else is there? There is definitely more but we will leave that for another day.

This Week in MIT HistoryBy Bushra B. Makiya
The dedication of the Cecil and Ida Green building occurred on October 7, 1964, the culmination of the Earth Science conference. The building was funded by a $6 million donation by Cecil Green and was designed by architect I. M. Pei '40 and associates.
At 227 feet high, the Green building is the tallest building in the city of Cambridge and contains a weather tower, balloon shed, and experimental radar equipment. Due to its relatively central location on campus, the 23 story Green building houses many classes and departments in addition to Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Science such as Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
Throughout the past 35 years, the Green building has been the site of many hacks and other traditional MIT activities. The annual Integrated Studies Program egg drop off the roof is just one example.
One of the most famous Green Building hacks was in 1993 on the Fourth on July, when hackers turned the top row of windows in the Green building into the world's largest sound meter. The meter was keyed to the radio and featured "cyclon scanning" light patterns, "IHTFP" in morse code, and one dimensional tetris in addition to light meter and a display complementing the fireworks.
In front of the Green building in McDermott court stands the "Great Sail," a sculpture created to lessen the wind tunnel effect cause by breezes from the Charles, making it easier to get through the revolving doors at the foot of the building. It was designed by Alexander Calder in 1965. The sculpture was built in France and then reassembled here under his direction. It is 40 feet tall, weighs 33 tons, was made from 35 pieces of sheet metal, and is held together by 3,000 pounds of nuts and bolts. The sculpture was dedicated on May 7, 1966.
Pei, a Chinese architect, designed other buildings at MIT including the Dreyfus Chemistry Building (Bldg. 18), the Landau Building for Chemical Engineering (Bldg. 66), and the Wiesner Arts and Media Technology Building (Bldg. E15). In addition, he designed the John Hancock Building in Boston, the west wing of the Museum of Fine Arts, and the entrance to the Louvre in France.

Physician testifies in journalist's suit against customs over assault
A medical practitioner, Akintayo Akintoba, yesterday told a Federal High Court in Lagos that series of medical examinations were conducted on a battered journalist, Yomi Olomofe.
Akintoba who was a second witness, gave the oral evidences in a suit against the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) over assault on the journalist. The Lagos branch of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) had filed the suit on Olomofe's behalf seeking enforcement of his fundamental rights to life, freedom of expression and the press.
Joined as respondents in the suit are the former Comptroller-General of the customs, Abdullahi Diko Nde, the Seme Area Controller, Muhammed Ndalati, and a Deputy Comptroller of Customs, Emmanuel Nkemdirim.
Others are: Ibrahim Turaki of the Seme command, Sam Madubueke, Suleiman Momoh, as well as a duo simply identified as Elijah and Shehu.The applicant is claiming N500 million as damages against the NCS for the assault he suffered at Seme.At the last adjourned date on April 25, Olomofe had given oral evidence and recounted how some customs officers at Seme Border physically assaulted him.
When trial resumed on Monday, counsel to Olomofe, Jiti Ogunye, called on a second witness for the applicant Akintoba who said he was a Medical Officer of Health (MOH) with the Lagos State Government, adding that he practices as a family physician, and takes care of emergency situations at first instance.
He told the court that he received a call on June 25, 2015 from a Rotary Club member, one Taiwo, informing him of an attack on Olomofe by some hoodlums at the Seme Customs in Badagry.
The witness said Olomofe was a close friend he had known since 2009, and so, he helped him with free medical services, adding that an ambulance later arrived, conveying the applicant but unfortunately, the health workers were on strike.
He said he, however, assisted in taking the applicant to Care Givers Hospital, where emergency tests were run on him from where he was conveyed to Ajara for a detailed medical examination.
He told the court that considering Olomofe's condition, he advised him to report to the police for proper documentation.He added that from his assessment, he discovered that he sustained soft tissue injuries on his head.
"Although the results of the CT digital skull x-ray appeared normal, a victim could still suffer from a post-traumatic stress syndrome," Akintoba added.Justice Anka adjourned cross-examination till July 13, 2017.

Searching For Chiropractic Clinics Near You?
If you frequently deal with back pains, neck pains, spine, and sports injuries, you might be searching for the best chiropractic clinics near Oak Grove Arkansas. Chiropractic care is considered a holistic and alternative treatment option that triggers the body's natural healing abilities. It is a non-invasive treatment option where millions of Americans are benefiting at the moment. The approach is shown to treat more than a dozen of different conditions. One of the best things about chiropractic care is that the method is 100% drug-free and helps heal your body naturally. The treatment option is effective in dealing with headaches, back pains, ear infections, neck pains, joint pains, arthritis, bowel irregularities, blood pressure, asthma, improved mental clarity, and a host of other conditions. With hundreds of chiropractic clinics near Oak Grove, one should be cautious when selecting the best practitioner in the area. Here are important tips to consider when choosing the best chiropractic clinics nearby your location.
Despite the popularity of the treatment method, there are many misconceptions about the field of chiropractic care. Many patients are still confused when it comes to how the practice works and how chiropractic professionals are trained. In fact, most of the chiropractic programs incorporate an entire year of Ph.D.-level training in different subjects. Hence, a chiropractic doctor is a highly skilled and trained individual out there. Like with all other professions out there, there are many quacks operating in this industry too. That is why it is important that you perform extensive research before deciding to work with the right chiropractic doctor in your Oak Grove area. Your homework is essential to choosing the best candidate for the job.
How Could My Digestive System Be Causing My Back Pain?
People experiencing lower right back pain may be wondering how in the world this isolated pain occurred. While lower back pain is very common, pain isolated to just the lower right side of the back only affects a handful of people. Here are some common reasons you may be experiencing lower right back pain.
Note: This article will discuss possible causes of the pain, not the diagnosis. It is important to discuss all of your medical conditions and concerns with a licensed healthcare professional.
While your isolated back pain could be caused from a variety of activities, there are three common causes that should be discussed.
1. Overuse or Misuse of Body
2. Sleeping Habits
3. Lack of Exercise and Stretching
1. Overuse or Misuse of Body
Most people are right-handed and thus primarily use the right side of their body for most common activity. This consistent use can lead to overuse in the muscles and joints on your right side. Where do you carry your purse or carryon bags? If you are right-handed, you probably carry them over your right shoulder. Where do men carry their overstuffed wallets? Probably in their right back pocket. When they sit down this adds a lot of stress to their lower right back and unnecessary weight on their left side.
Muscles and joints that aren't moved and exercised daily become weak and inflexible. This means that when you do use them for a simple task, like washing the dog, it could cause you major discomfort in your lower right back.
The exercise and stretching you do, should not be too intense or difficult. They should not hurt or cause you discomfort, and you should never feel dizzy or nauseas. Taking a walk around your neighborhood, climbing stairs, touching your toes, and practicing yoga are all great ways to stay active and prevent this back pain.
For more detailed information on lower right back pain causes, prevention and treatment, please visit http://www.lowerrightbackpainhq.net.
Most of the wellness and health benefits associated with chiropractic care are due to the chiropractic adjustments received by the patients. These adjustments are important to place your body in the proper position so that it can heal itself. In fact, chiropractic adjustments help reduce the stress placed on the patient's immune system. This will release energy that is vital for maintaining homeostasis and preventing diseases. The treatment option addresses the whole body of the individual thereby improving his or her ability to think and act more positively.
A professional Oak Grove Arkansas chiropractor prides him/herself on taking a drug-free, natural approach to helping the patient improve his/her wellness and health in the long run. In fact, the entire principle is built on the basis that the body has an innate ability to heal itself under the right conditions. The chiropractic doctor will help create the right environment for the body to start healing itself. The practice focuses on keeping one's spine properly aligned at all times. The nervous system controls every organ and cell in the body. Hence, if the spine shifts out of its proper place, it should be brought back into alignment without delay to prevent issues in the nervous system which can manifest as various diseases in the body. That is where a professional and experienced chiropractic doctor comes in handy.
The Cause & Treatment of Desiccated Discs
This article reveals one of the major hidden causes of back pain, particularly lower back pain. This problem is a common reason why pain keeps coming back, even after physical treatments such as physiotherapy, chiropractic and massage.
The underlying cause that I'm talking about is a little valve between the large and small intestine called the Ileocaecal Valve, or ICV. When this valve dysfunctions it causes a very important stabilizing muscle in the lower back called illiacus to become "switched off". This destabilizes the lumbar spine and causes the discs to be placed under strain.
When this happens we are very vulnerable to injury. It only takes the slightest twist, lift, strain or sudden movement in the wrong direction and we are in trouble. Often people with this problem even say "I didn't even do anything, my back just started hurting."
When those muscles are switched off it can also cause your back to feel very tired or fatigued after sitting for a long period.
There are two basic ways that the ICV can dysfunction- it can fail to open properly, in which case waste material is retained for a long time before it is passed (even though you may be regular); or it fail to close properly, in which case the bowel contents can come back up into the digestive system.
Either way, this causes the body to become toxic. One of the body's responses to this is to retain fluid, which can cause other problems, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and tingling or numbness in hands and feet. It can also cause headaches. However back pain is by far the most common symptom.
If you have recurring back pain, especially lower back pain, then it might be time to visit a chiropractor who specialises in Applied Kinesiology.
The American Chiropractic Association states that there are more than 70,000 chiropractic professionals operating in the United States alone. With so many to choose from, finding "any" chiropractic doctor is fairly easy. But you don't need "any" chiropractic when it comes to treating your condition. In fact, you want the "best" chiropractor in Oak Grove to treat your specific condition. This is a bit trickier than finding just any chiropractic doctor in the area. There are many things to consider when choosing the right professional to treat your condition.
When provided by a highly skilled and experienced professional, chiropractic care is quite effective in healing a wide variety of conditions. The right professional should have a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience. A personal referral from someone you trust is a great starting point when searching for any type of professional near Oak Grove Arkansas. Ask your existing health care team, friends, family members or co-workers for recommendations in this regard. You may also hop online and read patient reviews and surveys on professional chiropractors operating in your area. Make sure you do the homework properly before scheduling your first appointment with the potential candidate.
Don't forget to check the credentials and experience of the potential candidate. Chiropractors are also known as doctors of chiropractic (DCs). They are highly trained professionals who have completed nationally accredited graduate-level programs. In addition to their 4-year undergraduate degree, a chiropractor should have a 4-year doctorate degree – similar to doctors of osteopathy (DOs) and medical doctors (MDs). Make sure the candidate you choose is licensed and a graduate of an accredited school of chiropractic. Evaluate his/her experience before you work with them. These are some of the most important things to look for when choosing the best chiropractic clinic in Oak Grove Arkansas.
