7 x 10 soft pastels on Art Spectrum Colourfix
Miki Willa
I decided this morning that I haven't painted from life in a long time. In an attempt to remedy that, I pulled a few things out of the refrigerator that will become tomorrow's dinner. I have trouble setting up still lifes for myself. I have to try and think about darks and lights and how they will move the viewer through the picture. I have to remember balance in composition. I remember when I first started painting still lifes, my instructor tried not to laugh when I centered the entire set up on my paper. Far be it for me to fill the paper. I would look at the others during critique time and admire the way people had some things going off the edge. I would, however, do the same thing the next week. I just didn't get how to do it. One of the best things about practicing my art is the way my vision has improved. I see things in different ways now.
As for this painting, I tried a couple of interesting things to draw the viewers eye to the eggplant. First, I made sure I put all the detail I saw in it. It doesn't show up well in the photo, but the red of the tomato is reflected on the side of the eggplant. Another thing I did was to soften up the edges of the other elements, except the bottle which I thought would help draw the eye down. My light source was almost directly overhead, thus no shadow on the back wall from the bottle. That would have been fun, but I couldn't pull it off in this one.
Take a look at Gurney Journey for today. He has a very interesting discussion about the color of moonlight.

Our Work:
Our mission: To inspire community based, conservation-minded tourism, by unifying local and international expertise and resources.
Guías Unidos began pilot projects on Ometepe Island in Nicaragua during the summer of 2016. We developed guide training programs, environmental education for children, and we partnered with local organizations and stakeholders. In November 2017 we began developing our volunteer program and creating an office and resource center to operate and administer our projects. Some of our successes include:
Maintenance, reconnaissance, and planning of trails on Ometepe's protected areas. Trever, a volunteer intern and seasonal Park Ranger, focused much of his work on the trails initiative.
Geology field training and training workshop run by Chelsea, a masters student with University of Montana and seasonal park ranger in the USA.
With funds raised from our "Nature Libre" campaign, we are sponsoring school field trips. We have already brought nearly 100 students, teachers, and parents to Charco Verde, a natural reserve popular with tourists. For most participants, it was their first time there, and their first field trip ever.
Founded and renovated a house with volunteer quarters to function as a Resource Center with an office and library for our partners and community. We hope to continue developing the Resource Center into a visitor center for tourists as well. It is currently popular with some local children, who enjoy having a safe and fun place to read and be creative.
With our Resource Center and volunteer program now established, we would like to develop these areas in future seasons:
– Work with local guides to establish curricula for training in English language, visitor services, tour techniques, earth sciences, anthropology, and first aid.
– Encourage women and girls to consider guiding as a career, and empowering them to fully participate in cooperatives and workshops.
–Use the Resource Center to lend equipment to guides and the community: books, binoculars, field guides, and hiking supplies. Establish satellite equipment lending locations.
-When the political situation in Nicaragua allows, we will develop a true exchange program, funding the travel, living, and visa expenses of Nicaraguan volunteers working in the USA.
Our project model is to focus our work on Ometepe during the US winter (October-April). When the political unrest in Nicaragua is resolved, we will continue supporting a team of volunteer interns who want to develop practical skills, from conservation work to Spanish language. During the US summer, the directors and most interns will return to the US for the summer tourism season. During the US summer, we still need at least one volunteer with the skills to work independently, running the project and caring for the resource center. This could be an ideal project for a student who needs a summer internship. If you're interested in volunteering, please check out our Get Involved page. And thanks!
Who We Are:
Project Directors Jeff and Kate Zylland are devoted to promoting community-based ecotourism, education, and guiding. Since 2010 they have lived the seasonal life, working for up to six months at a time in National Parks and environmental education centers in the US, and volunteering internationally.
While volunteering in Nicaragua during the winter of 2011, Jeff and Kate visited Ometepe Island and met a tour guide named Arlin Hernandez. Arlin spoke of organizing a cooperative of guides on the island to educate and set quality and safety standards for tours. Training and educational resources, Arlin said, could be hard to come by. But as park rangers and environmental educators in the United States, Kate and Jeff had access to training resources. They also saw volunteer opportunities for outdoor professionals who are often underemployed in the USA winter. An idea was born.
Guias Unidos, or "Guides United" has grown from the initial idea to include us, our many partner organizations, and the volunteers who help us out from both sides of the border.
Our Partners:
Cooperativa Guías Turisticas de Ometepe is the group Arlin and his colleagues formed to bring better guiding services to Ometepe Island.
Sanito Nicaragua develops sustainable solutions to social, economic, and environmental problems. As they are a registered nonprofit in Nicaragua with experience in managing an environmental fund for the Amigos de Ometepe, we are contracting with them to help manage our labor and financial needs.
Amigos de Ometepe is a new, grassroots organization of Ometepe ecotourism professionals, hotel and business owners, and other stakeholders who want to help protect the island's natural resources. Guías Unidos is a partner, lending our experience in public lands to the protection of the Volcan Maderas Nature Reserve.
Fauna y Flora Internacional Fauna & Flora International (FFI) has been active in Nicaragua since 1998, contributing to biodiversity conservation and strengthening local and national partners. The FFI programme in Nicaragua works together with the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, local NGOs and communities to support the management of protected areas.
Si a la Vida (SALV) works on Ometepe as well as in Managua, to prevent substance abuse and domestic violence through reaching out to at-risk youth in local communities and providing after-school tutoring, counseling, and out-of-the-box education. Guias Unidos has taught environmental education classes and sponsored a nature field trip with the SALV kids.
Peace Corps Nicaragua works on environmental and health projects on Ometepe. We are partnering with them to work with youth and environmental education.
Guias Unidos is a project of Earth Island Institute (EII), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. EII is a fiscal sponsor for over 70 environmental and community activism projects.

Thank God I could have a good sleep last night. The second day, started well with interesting lecture, but ended the worst with the most boring lecture. But the discussions and debates were interesting.
Coimbatore weather is OK types, but about the heat, it is better than Hyderabad. But the power cut makes it worse. Every alternate hour there is a powercut. Thanks to the college management, atleast they have a generator and gave us an AC room.
In the last post, I was to tell you about the story of the accommodation here. Its the worst part of my coimbatore trip.
Its a typical girls hostel where you have a demon-like warden and cat-like students. One yells and the others fear. I think none of them can speak when she is around. they literally become dumb. what they, i also get dumb looking at her, she is like that. None can help.
Crossing her, i entered the room. My God i was dumbstruck. its 12x10 room where 4 of us were expected to live. My God, i couldnt take it at all. when you go to the mess, the demon stands at the entrance making sure that none is talking or wasting food. Does she not know by now that none can talk when she is around...whatever..!!! the silly part is that, you are expected to carry the plate and the glass while you go to take food. It was literally like the prisoners in the jail....and yeah, we were not anything less than that.
top of all, its the timings. the breakfast is at 7.00am when i dont even wake up. lunch is anyways at the college so no worries...and the dinner is at 7.00pm when i dont even feel hungry. and past this time..no food u would get...!! only i know how am i surviving here....coz' i have no other option.
but one thing is that i atleast got an experience of a typical girls' hostel.
Now i realize how wonderul was my college hostel during my MBA...!!!
lots later...bye for now :)

Vertical garden or wall garden, you can go with any term. Gone are the days when people would grow plants only in backyard space. But it's not always possible for everyone who has been living with shortage of that space hence vertical garden comes. Vertical gardens are for everyone, does not matter if your home is huge bungalow or small apartment. Such garden can be easily grown on any wall you want to. Now, get ready to unfold the realm of vertical garden.
Vertical garden: a new chapter with types and tips
Vertical gardens are not only meant to get greenery in house but to beautify it as well. You can all sorts of containers of different sizes and shapes for wall garden and nothing would be better that this. Since it's about decorating a home with beautiful flowers and plants, hanging garden is another best option you can go for.
Types of vertical garden:
The most basic and simple type of wall garden comes along with using of containers or used plastic boxes you have in store room but still there are different types, given below.
Pockets Garden:
What a classic name! Exactly, this belongs to the pocket you have in Jeans. This type of vertical garden is designed keeping in mind the creation of living wall by making a line of fabric products. Benefit of fabric- plants grow much better in such containers.
Arbor Garden:
An arbor or pergola is a garden forming passageway, shaded walkway or sitting area of pillars. This type of vertical garden could be the best option for the entry gate, especially for the occasion to decorate entry for guests.
Green Wall Garden:
You might have seen this design of vertical garden. External view of house fully covered with greenery gives attractive and appealing look and looks alike if it's a house of royal family. This green structure is the vegetation and can cover the entire wall or structure for long time.
Gutter Garden:
Plants that don't need much space for growing, are suitable for gutter garden. Rain gutters are inescapable when it comes to create something creative and beautiful. Actually, depth of rain gutters give less space to grow plants, so make sure to grow plants which don't grow big.
Garden pots:
All you need to do is arrange garden pots with the wall or any vertical structure. Moreover, by decorating, or panting garden pots before you place them will enhance the beauty of design. Herbs and seasonal plants work best with such pots.
Find out suitable location for vertical garden:
Vertical garden can be grown indoor or outdoor, even to the external walls of house for privacy and decorative purpose. But it all depends on your requirement and the type of plants or flower you choose to grow. If you don't have the free open wall or if you love the paint of wall and don't want to change its view, you can buy or craft yourself a vertical stand for garden.
Things to remember:
• Living walls are compact and so the less soil is. There is huge difference in maintenance of horizontal and vertical gardening. Drip irrigation system must be done for vertical garden.
• You always need a back-up plan! Same with the case of vertical gardening, if you have planted the plants of same species, makes sure to get some extra on your side, because some of planted plants might die or would not grow in time.
• Vertical garden gives new looks to the wall or structure, though one can go with colorful and different species of plants, but growing plants with the same 'habits' will ensure you the easily growth and stylish view.
• Soil needs to be fully fertilized and enriched of nutrients and by following these gardening hacks you can do lot to grow plants easily.
Wall garden or vertical garden is the new chapter in gardening which has been getting popularity among people. It symbolizes your nature, being perfectionist attitude and surely greenery keeps a home fresh and healthy. Do let us know your ideas and designs of vertical garden, in comment section and share this post with your pals and known ones.

Did you miss me?
I'll assume from the sound of crickets chirping that you simply fell asleep because you were so lonely and sad, sitting next to the computer, eyes bloodshot, waiting longingly for an email detailing my latest rambling post… or because there were only two hits on my blog today (which is super pathetic by the way), you probably forgot about my blog entirely since last Wednesday.
Don't worry, I'll recover.
Excuse me while I sit behind the couch with a large chocolate bunny and drown my sorrows by crying and eating said-bunny's ears. What was that you said? Diet? I have no idea what you are talking about. You must be delirious from sitting awake for over 72 hours hoping I'd post some little morsel for your pleasure.
Regardless of me falling off the wagon straying slightly from my diet and regardless of you being so grateful for a new blog post you could kiss me getting excited for another rousing round of "how much can Caroline fit into one blog post?", I am back to post about my thrilling visit to my mom's house.
We had a fantastic trip! My mom and dad were, as usual, wonderful with the girls. They played well together (grandparents and granddaughters), we were all spoiled (favorite meals were cooked, there were presents galore, our tax return came so we could finally get iPhones), and we were all sad when the visit came to an end.
It snowed while we were there, because what is spring without four inches of snow during the only three days we were able to visit this month?
I will leave you with some mommy-ness:
Ariana came into the bedroom this evening and promptly took off all of her clothes. She laid down on the mini-futon/couch thing, wrapped herself in my zip-up sweatshirt and said "I go to sleep". I took 509,634 pictures (okay, I may have exaggerated… it was only 509,598) and here is my favorite:
I love being a mama. Happy Sunday night!

The man escaping a roundup of Jews has his life saved with a warning: "Walk, don't run." A woman shot by Nazis collapses in a strange, contorted way. The windows of a house where a Polish Jew hides are draped totally in black paper to keep in every ray of light.
Director Roman Polanski, 69, doesn't like to talk publicly or even much privately about his experiences surviving the Holocaust as a boy in Poland. But his memory speaks volumes about it in the new movie, "The Pianist," a film ostensibly based on another man's life, the Polish Jewish pianist and composer Wladyslaw Szpilman.
It is Polanski who falls to show an extra how her body should twist as it hits the ground after being shot -- drawing on the memory he had of a dead woman in the snow long ago. "Walk, don't run" are his father's own words to him when as a scrawny, undersized kid he escapes a ghetto roundup to Auschwitz. It is Polanski who has his set designers cover the windows in black paper because that is what covered the windows of his childhood.
The film, which just began a limited release in the United States, is a powerful portrayal of one man's chance survival of the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto and of the random murders, daily demeaning brutality and unspeakable deprivation that took place. Some critics think it could widen an already unpredictable Oscar race.

Sometimes I want to cook a big, crazy, messy, complicated, multi-step concoction - and sometimes I want to feel like I am eating as mother nature intended.
This dish was born on a day I was craving a salad, but had only a zucchini and some other miscellaneous veggies on hand. Who said a salad needs to have lettuce, anyway?
For those of you that have run out of things to do with your abundance of summer zucchini, this one's for you!
Simple Zucchini Salad for 1
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp greek yogurt
pinch of salt (more if you are not using feta)
pinch of fresh ground pepper
1 large zucchini, shredded*
2-3 green onions, sliced thinly on a bias
1 small handful chopped fresh basil, italian parsley, or mint(I used all three)
feta and roasted almonds to garnish** (optional)
In a medium bowl, whisk together the first six ingredients.
Add the zucchini, onions, herbs, and toss with your hands gently until veggies are coated. "But Ashley," you say, "Why do you measure stuff in handfulls?" Well, because I am allergic to measuring, and because I have never in my life said "This food has too many fresh herbs in it." CRAZY TALK.
Serve in a bowl, and top with feta and chopped roasted almonds.
That's all! Simple, delicious, healthy, and a perfect afternoon snack or side dish to a lovely dinner.
*For the zucchini, I like to use the biggest setting on my box grater. Cut off the ends, and grate the zucchini on each side until you hit seeds, and then move on to another side. Seeds tend to get mushy, so keep them out.
**I like to roast my own nuts (giggle). Buy some raw almonds, place them on an ungreased baking sheet, and bake in the oven on 400 for 10-12 minutes. You will know they are done when they start to fill your kitchen with a lovely smell.

i am such a supporter of the lettuce-less salad. more crunch, more flavor, more texture, more imagination.ReplyDelete
your current incarnation is delightful. we already made it (yesterday evening) here in manhattan (in bulk) and still were not lucky enough to have leftovers.

First, I absolutely love you! I love that you're doing this! I can just hear your voice as I read! LOVE IT!ReplyDelete
Second, I really wish I had some zucchini in my house right now!!!! Damnit.
I've added your blog to my bookmarks bar. I'll be checking in regularly. And getting some zucchini tomorrow :-)
Michael - yes!!! This pleases me. Zucchini in bulk, such a beautiful thing. Thanks for reading. :)ReplyDelete
Jenn - I know for a fact Finley will eat this up! :)

While obtaining a patent is potentially a costly undertaking, there can be significant financial benefits that derive from the ability to assert the patent to block competitors. Sometimes this translates to domination of a market opportunity with high financial value. And sometimes this translates to more limited scope that may be of lesser financial value. Patents can be important, but other factors can and do influence the competitive advantage of an idea/product.

Title: Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Thermal Annealing of P3HT:PCBM Bulk Heterojunctions for Organic Photovoltaic Applications
Presenter: Jan Michael Carrillo
Affiliation: Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Abstract: We performed coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of the thermal annealing of blends of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and 6,6-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) at
different weight fractions fm and degrees of polymerization N of the P3HT polymer chains at 423 K based on the force field by Lee, Pao and Chu Lee et al., Energy Environ. Sci., 2011, 4, 4124-4132.
The simulations were performed up to 400 ns in terms of "simulation time" which translates to 0.27 ms in "real time" and one order of magnitude longer than previous MD simulations. The simulation sizes
are comparable to the thickness of the active layer of a bulk heterojunction device which is around 100 nm. We observed that the thermal annealing process proceeds in two stages which is characterized
by the fast evolution of morphological quantities such as the interfacial area to volume ratio ? and the location of the scattering peak qmax and then followed by the slowing down of the evolution of
these quantities. The simulation shows two phases which are the loosely packed PCBM domains and the P3HT matrix with dissolved PCBM and is reflective of the nature of the force field used which implies
that PCBM is immiscible to P3HT. We characterized microscopic properties such as the packing fraction of the P3HT and PCBM beads ?, mean square end-to-end distance of the P3HT chain

The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body. It connects the calf muscles to the heel and is active during almost all activities including walking, jumping, and swimming. This dense tendon can withstand large forces, but can become inflamed and painful during periods of overuse. Pain results from inflammation (tendonitis) or a degenerating tendon (tendinosis). Achilles tendon pathologies include rupture and tendonitis. Many experts now believe, however, that tendonitis is a misleading term that should no longer be used, because signs of true inflammation are almost never present on histologic examination. Instead, the following histopathologically determined nomenclature has evolved. Paratenonitis: Characterized by paratenon inflammation and thickening, as well as fibrin adhesions. Tendinosis: Characterized by intrasubstance disarray and degeneration of the tendon.
Achilles tendonitis is an overuse injury. Too much too soon is the common cause of overuse injuries, however other factors can contribute to developing the condition. An increase in activity, either distance, speed or a sudden change to running up hills. As a rule of thumb distance runners should increase their mileage by no more than 10% per week. A change of footwear or training surface for example suddenly running on soft sand can cause the heel to drop lower than normal making the tendon stretch further than it is used to. Weak calf muscles can tighten or go into partial spasm which again increases the strain on the achilles tendon by shortening the muscle. Running up hills – the achilles tendon has to stretch more than normal on every stride. This is fine for a while but will mean the tendon will fatigue sooner than normal. Overpronation or feet which roll in when running can place an increased strain on the achilles tendon. As the foot rolls in (flattens) the lower leg also rotates inwards which places twisting stresses on the tendon. Wearing high heels constantly shortens the tendon and calf muscles. When exercising in flat running shoes, the tendon is stretched beyond its normal range which places an abnormal strain on the tendon.
Patients with this condition typically experience pain in the region of the heel and back of the ankle. In less severe cases, patients may only experience an ache or stiffness in the Achilles region that increases with rest (typically at night or first thing in the morning) following activities which place stress on the Achilles tendon. These activities typically include walking or running excessively (especially uphill or on uneven surfaces), jumping, hopping, performing heel raises or performing calf stretches. The pain associated with this condition may also warm up with activity in the initial stages of injury. As the condition progresses, patients may experience symptoms that increase during sport or activity, affecting performance. Pain may also increase when performing a calf stretch or heel raise (i.e. rising up onto tip toes). In severe cases, patients may walk with a limp or be unable to weight bear on the affected leg. Patients with Achilles tendonitis may also experience swelling, tenderness on firmly touching the Achilles tendon, weakness and sometimes palpable thickening of the affected Achilles tendon when compared with the unaffected side.
If Achilles tendonitis is suspected, avoid any exercise or activity that causes the pain. It is advisable to see a doctor promptly so that an accurate diagnosis can be made and appropriate treatment recommended. The doctor will take a full medical history and will ask about the nature and duration of the symptoms. They will perform a physical examination of the affected area. Ultrasound scanning may be used to assess damage to the tendon or surrounding structures. Occasionally MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) may be recommended. The symptoms of Achilles tendonitis are often similar to symptoms of other conditions such as partial Achilles tendon rupture and heel bursitis. This can make diagnosis difficult and a referral to an orthopaedic specialist may be required in order for an accurate diagnosis to be made.
Nonsurgical Treatment
Relieving the stress is the first course of action. Treatment involves ice therapy and activity modification to reduce inflamation. Active stretching and strengthening exercises will assist rehabilitation of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex. When placed in a heeled shoe, the patient will immediately notice a difference, compared to flat ground. It is recommended that the patient be fitted with proper shoes & orthotics to control pronation and maintain proper alignment, relieving the stress on the achilles tendon. Tightness in the tendon itself can be helped by an extra heel lift added to the orthotics. The patient can expect a slow recovery over a period of months.
Surgical Treatment
Surgery is considered the last resort. It is only recommended if all other treatment options have failed after at least six months. In this situation, badly damaged portions of the tendon may be removed. If the tendon has ruptured, surgery is necessary to re-attach the tendon. Rehabilitation, including stretching and strength exercises, is started soon after the surgery. In most cases, normal activities can be resumed after about 10 weeks. Return to competitive sport for some people may be delayed for about three to six months.
To lower your risk of Achilles tendonitis, stretch your calf muscles. Stretching at the beginning of each day will improve your agility and make you less prone to injury. You should also try to stretch both before and after workouts. To stretch your Achilles, stand with a straight leg, and lean forward as you keep your heel on the ground. If this is painful, be sure to check with a doctor. It is always a good idea to talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine. Whenever you begin a new fitness regimen, it is a good idea to set incremental goals. Gradually intensifying your physical activity is less likely to cause injury. Limiting sudden movements that jolt the heels and calves also helps to reduce the risk of Achilles tendonitis. Try combining both high- and low-impact exercises in your workouts to reduce stress on the tendon. For example, playing basketball can be combined with swimming. It doesn?t matter if you?re walking, running, or just hanging out. To decrease pressure on your calves and Achilles tendon, it?s important to always wear the right shoes. That means choosing shoes with proper cushioning and arch support. If you?ve worn a pair of shoes for a long time, consider replacing them or using arch supports. Some women feel pain in the Achilles tendon when switching from high heels to flats. Daily wearing of high heels can both tighten and shorten the Achilles tendon. Wearing flats causes additional bending in the foot. This can be painful for the high-heel wearer who is not accustomed to the resulting flexion. One effective strategy is to reduce the heel size of shoes gradually. This allows the tendon to slowly stretch and increase its range of motion.

Question: There is a 5 gallon and a 3 gallon box. You also have a hose with unlimited water. How are you gonna make the 5 gallon have 4 gallons using your items? (You do not know the exact measure measurements of a gallon)
Answer: You fill the five gallon up and pour it into the 3 gallon. The dump the 3 gallon out and pour what was left in the 5 gallon into the 3 gallon so that you have 2 gallons in the 3 gallon. Then fill the 5 gallon up and pour it into the 3 gallon to fill it up. Now you have 4 gallons in the 5 gallons.

Hundreds marched in a magnificent show of strength and solidarity with locked out Greyhound workers. The march led off from Liberty hall and through the streets of Dublin to City Hall where Councillors were having the first Dublin City Council meeting after the summer break.
The Greyhound workers have been locked out at the west Dublin based waste disposal company since 17th June. Management at the company is attempting to force workers to accept wage cuts of up to 35% and has employed strike breakers to carry out waste collections during the dispute.
Addressing the rally, SIPTU Greyhound Shop Steward, Jesse Hughes, said: "We have been locked out of our jobs for over 11 weeks. No one can be expected to take a 35% cut to wages with a mortgage to pay and a family to support. We will stay united and we will win the right to return to our jobs so that we can again support our families".
Other locked workers and their wives also addressed the rally. Michelle Corbally, said: "This dispute is having a terrible impact on families. We need a solution to it but realise that the Buckley brothers, the owners of Greyhound, cannot be allowed to succeed with their bullyboy tactics.
The march included Unite the Union, OPATSI, Mandate, the Dublin Council of Trade Unions and the TEEU. John Douglas, the President of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions called on all workers and trade unionists to join in solidarity in this seminal battle for workers rights.
Edel McGinley of the Migrant Rights Centre said "Many of the workers on strike are migrants and we are here in solidarity with them to stop the undercutting of terms and conditions".
At last night's Dublin City Council meeting, Greyhound workers in the public gallery received a standing from councillors. Several motions in support of the locked out workers were passed and councillors also expressed serious concerns about the operation of domestic waste services in Dublin.
Among the motions passed last night was one requesting that the City Manager, Owen Keegan, presents "the council as a matter of urgency with a contingency plan for domestic waste collection services in the Dublin City Area if the company [Greyhound] is deemed unfit to have its five-year Waste Collection Permit renewed".
This morning SIPTU members locked out of their jobs at Greyhound Recycling and Recovery have voted (Tuesday, 2nd September) to accept a Labour Relations Commission (LRC) offer to engage in talks with representatives of the waste disposal company.

my sister texted me last week and asked for some suggestions of what dishes she should make to drop off dinner to a friend...and it had to pair well with homemade soft pretzels. i didn't think about it again until the next day and by the time i emailed everything over, i was too late. big bummer. my sister was gracious and thanked me anyway. then i thanked her as well because i thought it would make a great post for this series.
this week is probably busy for all of us, right? last minute shopping, holiday parties, present wrapping...wouldn't it be nice if one of your friends texted you one morning and said, "i'm bringing you dinner tonight. what time do you want it?" they don't leave any room for a yes or a no. just a time that would work for them to drop it off. sneaky, yeah?
when i got my sister's text, i immediately thought of soup and salad...and dessert, of course. it's something easy you could start in the morning when you a have little time. chop up some veggies, add some broth and then let it simmer all day. your house would smell pretty spectacular too. i turned to ina, deb, ree and joy for this scenario. these ladies have created the majority of my go-to recipes. here are some things i would consider making if i were dropping off dinner to a friend.
i'm quickly learning to avoid the presumption that i'm the first one to create the original version of any recipe. because i started googling my ideas. at first i was bummed. but then i was stoked. you mean, i had the same idea as so and so? grilled cheese croutons in tomato soup was one of those ideas...so was the cranberry upside-down cake. sorry. back to the suggestions. first soup suggestion: easy tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons.
second in line for soup possibilites is a black bean and pumpkin soup. remember the reason this series exists? i have a knack for recipe picking. it's a simple process really. if my mouth waters, like i literally salivate while reading through a recipe? it's a winner. so read through this one before you dismiss it. trust me.
the last pick is great because deb says, "it's exactly the kind of recipe you can choose to make in late in the afternoon and still eat for dinner." this comes in handy for all the procrastinators out there, myself included.
salad is the most important part of any meal. you know those surveys your children fill out at school just before mother's day asking questions about your favorite color, favorite food and how tall you are? well, our children are 4 for 4 when it comes to my favorite food. everyone answered salad and everyone got it right. i take my salads seriously. and then i have some dessert.
i like this recipe because it's unexpected, but the flavors are still very familiar. these kinds of recipes end up pleasing more people than you would think too. always an extra bonus.
and behind salad door #2? my salad namesake. i would be remiss not to include this in the list. many men and meatatarians go for seconds of this one. and yes. i just made that word up. that's one of the fun parts of blogging. wait. strike that. not a made up word. also another fun part of blogging.
the final salad choice is like that girl in high school who didn't talk much but when she did it was really profound or funny. (someone once described me that way. best compliment ever. it may have actually gotten me through my high school years.) this salad just looks like a slaw but i believe deb when she says it's pretty much the best thing ever.
now on to dessert! quick note first...dessert isn't really expected when someone knows your bringing over dinner. that's what makes it so special when you do. but if you don't get to making it because your day has gotten away from you? no harm done. it's really just the icing on the cake. wink, wink.
dessert numero uno: tres leches cake. because everyone needs a good version of this in their recipe arsenal. and because cooking for cinco de mayo is super fun. and i like flan and this is easier than flan.
the second suggestion for dessert? you guessed it! cranberry upside-down cake. because it too is surprising and familiar all at the same time. and we don't know how much longer fresh cranberries will be around. well, i don't anyway.
and finally, my favorite find for this post. mocha hazelnut marble cake. because it made me think of nutella. and marbled ANYTHING is always my first choice. here's a tip for any non-coffee drinkers. pero or postum are a good substitute for coffee or espresso powder in most recipes. i drink it with milk and sugar almost every winter night. with toast. i know. i'm an old woman. but i swear it makes me sleep better.
there you go my friends! a hearty list of suggestions if you were dropping off dinner to a friend.
p.s. to receive a couple extra "if i were..." menu ideas and secret recipes every month that i only share via email click here. and this is my only post for the week. holiday family time is the best, yeah? and there's also only a few more weeks till belinda arrives on island to start shooting the first group of recipes for the cookbook. wahoo!
happy holidays and merry christmas everyone!

These are prayers to Ares. I hope that you enjoy it. I got this from 'In Praise of Olympus: Prayers to the Greek Gods by Hearthstone.
Ares, courageous one, strong of arm, quick of wit, swift to respond to any danger, any threat, on the battleground you stand, unyielding god. As fields of blood turn to fields of flowers, you hold the fallen ever dear, each name you know, each lost life you honor.
Well honored in Thrace and in Scythia, your golden helm shines bright, your sharp sword cuts down the foe with cunning craft. To the soldier in peril you grant your strength; to those living in fear you grant the will to fight or to flee; to those who struggle you grant the heart's fire that forges ambition, that forms victory. Ares, upholder of the might of men, companion of those who make war and those who defend home and family, in trenches and in tanks, on the grounds of battle and of burial, you are there. Ares, brave one, bloody one, leader of men who does what must be done, I praise and honor you.
2nd Prayer to Ares
Ares, bright-armored bearer of spear and shield, son of noble Zeus and wise and watchful Hera, beloved of deep-hearted Aphrodite, father of fear, father of sweet harmony, in all the realms no one knows more the depths and heights to which necessity may drive mankind.
Fair of form you are, O Ares strong of arm and fleet of foot, clever in the ways of strife, ever-wary defender of the city gate, granter of the sense that keeps safe the soldier, holder of the hearts of those in direst need. Dear to you are war dogs and carrion-birds, beasts that feed on blood and carnage, that flourish in the barren fields of battle. Ares, savior of cities, shaker of spears, bright-helmed one who lends strength to the weak, courage to the fearful, will to the clouded and vengeance to the wronged, I thank you for your gifts, I honor your calling.
3rd Prayer to Ares
Bright-helmed Ares, strong of arm and stern of visage, firm of stance, unyielding of will, ever ready to face any foe, to hold the line against all who may come, to battle until the end. Ares, son of noble Zeus and wise Hera, cherished by golden Aphrodite, honored by those who call on you for strength and courage, in the north were you much honored in times of old, in Thrace and Thesaly were you held in esteem by those whose lives were harsh, whose world was stony, whose comforts were hard-one.
Ares who answers the prayer of the despairing, I honor you.

Tax Challenges Down, Still A Hurdle For Harrison
The Town/Village of Harrison saw a decrease last year in a number of tax challenges it received, but still faced a costly burden of refunding back taxes.
After hitting a record high in 2011–with 10,596 tax appeals–the number of county residents filing tax grievances reported a slight decrease last year. Westchester County Clerk Timothy Idoni recently reported a total 9,068 small claims assessment review or SCAR petitions, filed among 38 municipalities in 2012.
"A decline in the volume of appeals means less stress on local tax rolls," Idoni stated in a press release. "When appeals are granted or settled, it forces municipalities to identify equivalent reductions in spending or unpopular increases in revenue."
Story originally appeared in Jan. 25, 2013 edition of The Harrison Review.
The number of SCARs filed in Harrison decreased last year. According to county assessment figures, Harrison residents fi led a total of 324 petitions in 2012–a decrease from the 384 filed a year be-fore. Still, Harrison is No. 9 among Westchester municipalities for having one of the highest volumes of petitions filed.
Town Comptroller Maureen MacKenzie explained that small claims payouts last year were significantly lower than in year's past. At the end of 2012, Harrison paid out $137,556 to reimburse residents petitions–approximately $500,000 less than it paid in 2011.
County filings for SCARs have steadily increased more than 1,000 percent since 2005, though experts hope the recent trend is evidence of a stabilizing of property assessments. Although relatively few appeals are filed during years when real estate values near stability, the decrease of 1,528 petitions last year is still substantially higher from county real estate values recorded between 2001 and 2005.Harrison also saw a decrease in expenses for tax certioraris–tax challenges reserved for commercial properties or residents seeking a much higher reduction–paying out just $145,862 in 2012 as opposed to $441,250 in 2011.
But while the number of commercial certiorari challenges brought against the town was fewer in 2011, the settlements paid by the town were much higher. This was mostly due to the size of the commercial properties seeking reductions in 2011, some of which included JP Morgan Chase, Oak Valley Consultants, Westair, Aviation Westchester and the 285,000 square-foot commercial office space at 500 Mamaroneck Ave.Meanwhile, last year certiorari payouts remained primarily in the low thousands, with the most expensive reimbursement paid to the OCC Purchase for $65,425. Although the apparent drop may seem to be a large improvement, the effects of SCAR refunds and tax certiorari settlements have a much broader impact than simply draining the annual budget for local municipalities.
Refunds are granted based on a challenge to a property's assessment. So with every refund comes an accompanying reduction in the jurisdiction's assessment rolls, which determine how a municipal tax levy is divided up among property owners."When the assessment roll goes down, the tax rate goes up," Idoni told The Harrison Report in a recent interview.According to Idoni, each time a property owner receives a reduction to his or her assessed property value, and consequently his or her taxes, other property owners must make up the difference.But because of the decline in the number of tax certiorari and SCAR petitions, the town is able to levy tax increases at a lower rate than previous years. In 2013, residents' tax bills will increase by 2.94 percent for the town and 5.7 percent for the county.

Cold winter makes for high aluminum levels in Ottawa's water
The very cold water coming into Ottawa's treatment plants in winter forces the city to use more aluminum than usual to clean it, leaving nearly three times as much of the metal in city water as national standards ordinarily allow.
That's not a problem, says the city's general manager of environmental services, because Health Canada guidelines say it's OK to average out aluminum measurements over a year. Treating warmer water in summer requires a lot less of the stuff.
"The aluminum levels in Ottawa comply with provincial and federal guidelines for drinking water," said Dixon Weir, in a written statement relayed through the city's communications department.
Those standards are too lax, according to a senior official in an Ottawa environmental testing company, allowing aluminum concentrations that are too high at some times of the year as long as they're balanced out by low levels at other times.
Claigan Environmental in Kanata couldn't at first figure out why aluminum levels were so high in water it had used to try out consumer products, said Bruce Calder, Claigan's vice-president of operations. The company reports to manufacturers on how well their products comply with safety regulations.
"We use tap water to see how other products react with tap water," he said. A cheap coffeemaker, for instance, could have parts that dissolve dangerous chemicals into hot water. Claigan checks that sort of thing. In the process, Claigan has found the Ottawa water has "sky-high" levels of aluminum as it comes out of the tap.
Ottawa has historically been a leader in reducing the amount of aluminum it uses to treat drinking water, Calder said, which makes the high readings a bit of a surprise. But they're high enough that Calder suggests filtering before drinking it. Ordinary consumer water filters will do fine.
(Claigan doesn't do consumer water testing or work with filter manufacturers, he said: "If consumers had a rush to get their water tested or buy Brita filters, we would not benefit in any way.")
An aluminum-based compound called alum is used as a "coagulant" in water treatment and has been since the Romans did it. Alum causes contaminants to clump together for easier filtering.
"Almost every major Canadian city has this added as a coagulant. It's used to clear the dirt out of the water," Calder said.
In very high doses, much higher than anything in city water, aluminum causes brain damage.
The effects of lower doses aren't settled science, but some research links chronic exposure to degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The connection was raised in early research on Alzheimer's in particular, then largely dismissed; more recent work has suggested aluminum in the brain might not cause disease directly but could hasten damage that's already happening. It's still controversial.
Healthy kidneys filter out aluminum fairly readily; it's a bigger problem for people with kidney diseases. But unlike some other metals, the human body doesn't have much use for aluminum, so according to Health Canada, the less we consume, the better. Much of the aluminum most people get comes from processed food but the amount in treated water is still noticeable.
Canadian guidelines say treated water should have no more than 0.1 milligrams of aluminum per litre; because treatment plants might use more or less aluminum at different times of year, depending on the quality of the water reaching their intake pipes, Health Canada says the measurement should be an average of readings taken over many months.
Calder said the water Claigan has tested over six months has had concentrations of aluminum ranging from 0.085 milligrams per litre (a little below the government guideline) to 0.29 milligrams per litre (nearly three times the guideline).
That's not a surprise, said Weir.
"The highest concentrations are observed during the winter months since water temperature is <1 degree Celsius," Weir said in the written statement. "The seasonal variation has to do with the chemistry of aluminum solubility vs. water temperature. The reported finding of 0.30 mg/L seems reasonable for current conditions."
There is, he said, "no credible evidence that aluminum in drinking water poses a risk for human health."
In 2013, the last year for which the city has published numbers, Ottawa's treated water had aluminum concentrations of 0.0936 milligrams per litre overall, just on the right side of the guideline. But water sampled at the Britannia treatment plant, the larger of the two facilities that supply the city's pipes, had more than that: 0.1195 milligrams per litre. The guideline is just that: A guideline, not a hard rule.
In the previous two years, aluminum levels in city water were only about half what they were in 2013.

Daniel Bluntzer wanted to share the great resources of Catholic Answers with his fellow parishioners at St. Thomas the Apostle in Robstown, Texas, a parish with approximately 300 active families. Word made its way back to our office that he had signed up a few friends to subscribe to the magazine.
CA: How did you pitch the idea of the magazine at your parish?
Daniel: I've been hooked on Catholic Answers radio for a number of years and am always telling people what an amazing program it is. My understanding of my faith and Catholicism has grown exponentially since listening to Catholic Answers Live on EWTN radio and then eventually on the app. Eventually, I ordered the magazine.
CA: What made you recommend the magazine?
Daniel: I like that the articles varied in scope and length but also enjoyed that I didn't need electronics to access the content. One day it occurred to me to contact Catholic Answers and see if they offered a discount for a bulk order. They did. With the blessing of our pastor, I announced the offer after each Mass one Sunday. There were four Masses at the time, with approximately 600 total in attendance. I mentioned how informative Catholic Answers Magazine was and how it helped me understand better what we do as Catholics and why. Equally as important, it tackled some of the moral topics of the day.
CA: What was the response?
Daniel: I only did this one weekend and collected 169 subscriptions. I was hoping for forty or fifty, so 169 was a huge surprise and blessing. The comments at the time ranged from "I simply need to know more about my Faith" to "I've never subscribed to a religious magazine, but if you say so . . ." Since then, several people have stopped me and mentioned how enlightening the articles have been for them.
CA: How long have you been a supporter of Catholic Answers?
Daniel: I've been a supporter of CA for four or five years and a magazine subscriber for three years, if memory serves. It's invaluable! I don't know of any other place, forum, website, etc., that has this amount of information about our Faith. More importantly, it [the website] is interactive. You can ask questions specific to your needs. And many of the topics—the pope, Mary, confession, the Eucharist, the Bible in general—are simply not addressed well in religious education.
CA: We understand you also ordered a bunch of Trent Horn's book Why We're Catholic.
Daniel: I ordered 300 as an Advent gift for parishioners. I look at it as adult formation continuation, complementing the magazine from last year.
Daniel is a member of his parish pastoral council and in charge of the Czech meal for its annual Czechfest, the parish Fall Festival. His wife, Mitzi, is in charge of the church decorations for Christmas and Easter and assists with religious education. They've been married for twenty-three years and have a fifteen-year-old son and a ten-year-old daughter. Daniel is director of research and a partner for a commodity firm based in Chicago as well as a broker and consultant specializing in livestock and grains. We thank the Bluntzers for their enthusiastic support of our efforts!
Why We're Catholic by Trent Horn, also available in bulk, here.

Editor, Catholic Answers Magazine

NEWS, EVENTS, WWW CONTENT RELATED TO The Orpheus Plague (Book 5 of Songs of the Interstitium)
Mid-November 2016: A short Appendix to Book 5 of the series, i.e. Convergence: The Orpheus Plague, has appeared in Painted Words 2016 (submitted by the Zoetics Instititue – Transmedia Publishing wing). Tracking the piece down, however, will require a bit of detective work on the part of readers!
Storylines for Convergence: The Orpheus Plague
Two worlds/timelines give way to a number of 'communicating/entangled" worlds/timelines. The various Rowans grow increasingly aware of each other as this final book heads toward the series/project conclusion. Two strange hybrids also enter the scene. Core story:
- Rowan (1) is a teacher who has also practiced various creative vocations throughout his life to what he calls 'second eleven' level. He feels as though he has never really specialised in any one vocation and doesn't really want to. He lives on a block of land near Harcourt, Central Victoria in a timeline very much like ours. As this novel begins he is fifty-two years old and feels the need to transit to a less energy sapping occupation so that he can fulfil a task that has been set for him by 'the Muse'. As the world drifts toward climactic and geopolitical chaos he realizes that he needs to unify all of his creative etc. sub-selves under the creative discipline of 'transmedia storytelling'. The story he is gifted is a complex one involving many selves in many worlds and he is unsure that he has the capacity to fulfill the project set.
2. Rowan (2) is an agglomerate of the two Rowan's from Book 1. Skilled in transpersonal psychology, sport and academia from the Rowan (2) of Book 1, and music and activism from Rowan (1) of book 1, he becomes an expert in the New Sciences after being cast adrift from one of his realities. He moves into the New Sciences from 1997 onward, in order to try and understand his situation, at the same time as he tries to track 'Quantum Girl' – a woman he has encountered in both Marin E Bek and his new reality throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s. He forms fleeting relationships haunted by his transmigration and travels to Europe, Asia, the US, NZ and the Middle East in search of the strange woman, before returning to Douglas's block in central Victoria. The block has now been set up by Rhiannon (2012-2016) as a Transmedia artist's commune, and she is attempting to merge information, texts etc. from multiple realities for some unknown purpose.Rowan (2) experiences a convergence close to the end of the novel, but not before the story takes a SF turn after the mysterious woman contacts him again to explain her activities across multiple realities over the previous quarter century.All the Muses of the five stories are living versions of themselves in Rowan's (2) current timeline. These women have been directed by their other worldly selves to go and live in the commune near Castlemaine. Most of them are in their 40s and 50s as the story unfolds – some have husbands and grown-up children. They turn out to be part of the convergence.
As the two narratives of this book begin to merge, the various Rowan's from the other books also show up as 'anomalies' bearing 'creative gifts' for all the other Rowans and their partners and friends.
