Inspired by the Saveur 100 list, pierino started a lively discussion on the FOOD52 Hotline about your favorite food-related finds of 2011. We had a lengthy staff email chain that was pretty similar. So we took the highlights from both, tallied things up and put together a list of our own.
We didn't end up with exactly 100 items but we have a lucky number around here (can you guess what it is?), so we went with it. And here it is: The FOOD52 "52"
1. Blood, Bones & Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton
2. California Olive Ranch Olive Oil
3. Evernote: If I adapt or use a recipe in a cookbook that I like well enough to make again - it goes straight into Evernote with my notes attached. Digital cooking has changed the way I cook, and the way I eat in many respects. -BurntOfferings
4. Mark Kurlansky's Translation of The Belly of Paris
5. Canal House: The books, the daily emails (Canal House Cooks Lunch), we love everything these ladies do.
6. An Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler: She set out to write a modern day How to Cook a Wolf and she did a fantastic job. Nothing has inspired me to cook more. - Linzarella
7. Foodily
8. The Meadow: A specialty shop in Portland and New York which carries all manner of salts, bitters, and chocolate. -hardlikearmour
9. Patrick Roger's Chocolate: The BARS, folks! Not sure they're available outside Paris, but they're unbelievably wonderful (and I am not a chocoholic). -ChefJune
10. Craft Coffee: A subscription coffee service. They do an excellent job all around -- interesting sources, thoughtfully assembled -- and I really enjoy the element of surprise every month. -amanda
11. Weck Canning Jars
12. Lucky Peach
13. Michael Ruhlman Books: Started with "Twenty" and worked backwards - they are all amazing! -cookshootblog
14. Warren Pears from Frog Hollow Farm: They're very dear at almost $4/pound, but totally worth the splurge. I can't imagine eating them any way but straight up. They're perfect. -vvvanessa
15. Nespresso Machines
16. Modernist Cuisine: The ultimate food geek's treasure. If you've gotten your hands on a copy, you know why.
17. Penguin's Great Food Series: Classic food writing in exciting little packages. The book designs make you want to buy them all, and why shouldn't you?
18. Remedy Quarterly: A small and sweet quarterly filled with lively writing and "recipes for feeling good."
19. Eataly: Yes, we're fans. The chocolate hazelnut truffles are a daily indulgence at our office. And lunch wouldn't be the same without Eataly nearby.
20. Carciofini Selvatici Torre Saracena from Zingerman's
21. Pasta di Gragnano: The dried pasta from Italy's first dried-pasta factory is pressed through rough bronze forms and dried in the cool mountain air of Graganano outside Naples. The result: homey, toothsome pasta primed to cling to any kind of sauce.
22. Bulleit's Rye
23. Gotham Greens: We love local produce, and these delicate lettuces and beautiful herbs are grown right in Brooklyn.
24. Eat Your Books: No more rifling through 300 cookbooks looking for that recipe you vaguely recall loving. -peartart
25. Five Acre Farms Local Milk: Positively local. We're happy to be within this farm-to-table company's 275-mile radius.
26. Green Wind Farms Maple Syrup
27. Sustainable Kosher Meat: Thanks to sources like EcoGlatt, KOL Foods, and Grow and Behold sustainlable meat is more accessible to all households.
28. Red quinoa
29. American Cheesemongers: Something exciting is going on in the domestic cheese world. Artisanal raw milk cheeses are being produced right under our noses, and while we love a great import, we're thrilled to support the cheesemakers next door.
30. Domestic Bean-to-Bar Chocolatiers: From the Mast Brothers in New York to Dandelion Chocolate in San Francisco, we can't get enough of the domestic chocolate that's being produced.
31. Benton's Bacon: Everything you wished bacon could be: thick, porky, and oh-so-smoky. It's the favorite of many chefs, and you can get it sent to your door.
32. Freekeh
33. Popped Sorghum: It looks like mouse popcorn! -amanda
34. NOMA: There's no denying that the restaurant, the chef, and the book were all major talking points in 2011.

48. Zite: It's a magazine that you customize to your interests, and it has a food and cooking section... Food news, recipes, articles all in one space. -drbabs
49. Soda Stream: Remember when Amanda got one? These things are life-changing.
50. Fuzzy Logic Rice Maker: I had no idea that I was living like a wild animal. Thought that dried out or soggy rice with a burnt bottom was the only option. -Niknud
51. L.A. Burdick's almond madeleines & Milk Hot Chocolate Mix

The campaign to End Homelessness
Your tax deductible gift will help us in our efforts.
Reaching Home is the campaign to build the political and civic will to prevent and end homelessness in Connecticut. With the vision that no one should experience homelessness, that no one should be without a safe, stable place to call home, Reaching Home embraces the following core values:
These values are at the heart of Opening Doors – CT, a framework to end homelessness in Connecticut, modeled after the federal Opening Doors plan to end homelessness. Reaching Home is the leadership structure for planning and oversight of Opening Doors – CT, which is based on the goals of the federal plan:
The Reaching Home Campaign is guided by a Steering Committee and staffed by the Partnership for Strong Communities.
The Reaching Home Campaign's Steering Committee is a diverse coalition working across systems as well as sectors, such as housing, health, education, job training, and food insecurity. The Steering Committee includes representatives from various constituencies: advocates & intermediaries; government; local planning bodies; people experiencing homelessness; providers of housing and services; philanthropy; and private sector, institutions, and faith communities.
The broad base of the Steering Committee provides the support needed to develop the necessary coalitions at the local, regional and state levels to accomplish the goal of ending homelessness in Connecticut. In order to advance key strategies, the Steering Committee has chartered Working Groups which formally report back to the Steering Committee. The key strategies that provide the focus for the Working Groups include:
A small Coordinating Committee of key partners assists in coordinating the efforts of Reaching Home, providing guidance to its Working Groups, and supporting the Steering Committee.
The Reaching Home Campaign was launched in 2004 by a statewide Steering Committee with the goal of ending chronic homelessness in Connecticut through the creation of permanent supportive housing. The Campaign's primary focus from 2004 through 2011 was on educating policymakers and the public about the effectiveness of permanent supportive housing in ending chronic homelessness. Today, there are more than 4,400 units of supportive housing in more than 80 municipalities across Connecticut.
With the launch of the Opening Doors - CT framework, Reaching Home will focus on building the political and civic will to prevent and end all forms of homelessness in Connecticut. Reaching Home will continue to emphasize housing as an essential platform for human and community development. We believe that stable housing is the foundation upon which people build their lives and essential to building the strong, vibrant communities needed to end homelessness in our state.

Feminism | Posted by Arely L on 09/17/2014
I'm sorry to say that I've witnessed far too many conversations in which my friends attack other girls for their sexual experiences. I have finally had enough of the way teen girls (or women of all ages, for that matter) who have sex are regarded with prejudice. There are four specific aspects of this cultural "logic" about women and sex that I particularly don't understand.
1. Who decides what constitutes "too much" sex?
Why do people think they can determine the limits of how much sex a person can acceptably have? I don't believe that anyone has the right to set such standards for other women or men. I enjoy my sexual freedom and don't believe that other people's sexual choices or ideas about sex should have any bearing on …

Goodnight to the world. Moment of beauty from mother nature.
Crashing waves along the Oregon Coast near Yachats, Oregon.
Waves coming in, shaping the shoreline.
Storms rolling in to shore.
Bubbly Waves Reaching Shore
Oceanside, Oregon
Watching the sun slide from behind the clouds, to cross behind the horizon. Another day lived.
Cannon Beach, Oregon
Around the corner, a road that takes you on a new journey. Oregon.
A stroll through the Columbia River Gorge.
Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon Coast during a cloudy day.
Looking over the edge as the waves crash into the rugged Oregon coastline.
Into the trees. A calm and cloudy day on the Oregon Coast. Heceta Head Lighthouse Beach.
Just as the sun dips on the Oregon Coast, the sky just lights up even more. Photographed in 2013 in Yachats, Oregon.
Spring time on the Oregon coast can make for some interesting weather. Two springs in a row, our visits to the Oregon Coast in April provided for some interesting textures unlike our visits any other time of year. The water on many rocky areas came crashing in with this milky appearance. Absolutely a unique experience!
A perfect walk from a city park, over a gorgeous river to land on a stunning Oregon beach.
This sunset in Yachats, Oregon was absolutely stunning. My recent trips to this same location have not produced nearly as gorgeous a sunset, so I often look back at this 2013 trip. Hoping to have another beautiful sunset trip to this location next year!
Lost in a mossy forest. I could walk through this forest and never want to leave. Oregon Coast, Pacific Northwest.
Along the Columbia River Gorge Highway, there's often amazing scenery around every corner. Tall mountains, sheer cliffs and steep rocky ledges. And among it all is the incredibly lush forest. Took a bit of a different take on this photo than my normal style but I really felt this deserved something different and unique.
Drive Through Oregon Forest
Driving through Oregon forests is like driving through a fairy tale for me. Endless green and color. Endless trees and nature. Lush and vibrant, all around, and it never gets old. :)
The fog dancing in the sunlight along a scenic drive in the beautiful forests of Oregon.
Clouds collecting on the horizon but lifting just enough for a gorgeous sunset on a cool fall day in Oceanside, Oregon.
A foggy day on the coast of Oregon can present you with an array of different colors depending on so much, and it can seem to vary from one storm to the next. It's one of the amazing wonders of the Oregon coast, and the nature mother naure provides us. This overlook is from Ecola State Park, overlooking Cannon Beach shoreline. Off in the distance you can see Haystack Rock!
It doesn't take long to drive through the west side of Oregon and find yourself in a truly magical forest. Grounds covered with moss and ferns, trees for miles, and branches above so thick and green. For me there is nothing quite as magical as the Oregon Coast, wethere it be the ocean, the rocky shoreline, or the forests!

5 things to watch for in the SOTU
President Barack Obama on Tuesday gets his second high-profile opportunity in less than a month to set the agenda for his second term.
The president views the speech as finishing a thought that began with the Inauguration, aides say, with a deeper focus on job creation and the economy but no shortage of attention to the controversial social issues that top his to-do list.
Story Continued Below
Here's POLITICO's list of five things to watch in the State of the Union:
1. Soft, strident or somewhere in between?
Obama irritated Republicans with his unapologetically liberal inaugural address — and the lack of any perceived olive branch quickly became the news.
( PHOTOS: State of the Union history: 10 famous lines)
But as Obama prepares to move his agenda into legislation, he'll need congressional — and at least some Republican — support.
So he has to find a way to do both: Make a robust case for limiting guns, overhauling immigration and protecting entitlement programs but without alienating the party that controls the House and the ability to filibuster in the Senate.
Finding that balance is nearly impossible.
The West Wing would no doubt prefer to use the speech to remind Republicans that elections have consequences — and, by the way, Obama won. His aides question whether any of his past bipartisan gestures really got him anywhere.
And Obama hasn't exactly moved out of campaign mode.
He's been traveling the country on immigration and guns and hammering Republicans for more than a week on the across-the-board spending cuts known as the sequester. He's accusing them of wanting automatic cuts "on seniors and middle-class families" to avoid closing "even a single tax loophole that benefits the wealthy."
( PHOTOS: Memorable guests at the State of the Union)
But Republicans will be looking for an overture that they felt was missing from the Inauguration — though they really don't want him to get too close.
For example, Obama name-checking the Republicans who are working with Democrats on guns and immigration may look like a magnanimous act to the world outside Washington but here, it could be fatal to the delicate talks.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) put the president on notice, saying Obama needs to soften his rhetoric on the sequester and work with Congress.
( Full coverage: State of the Union 2013)
"Let's be clear about something: If the President does choose to strike fear into the hearts of folks he should be reassuring, then that decision will be his alone," McConnell said Monday. "And that's why the next time the president delivers some over-the-top speech flanked by some pollster-approved voter group, I hope someone on the stage taps him on the shoulder and asks: Mr. President, if you're truly worried about this issue, why aren't you working with the Congress we elected to prevent it?"
2. Will there be a breakthrough jobs plan?
It would be déjà vu, at this point, for Obama to use a high-profile speech to talk about jobs, the economy and the middle class — he's been doing that for four years.
( POLITICO's White House team previews State of the Union 2013)
With the Commerce Department reporting last month that the economy shrank in the final quarter of 2012, surprising experts who expected some growth, there's political and practical urgency. But the challenge for Obama is to come up with fresh job proposals that stand any chance of passing a deeply divided Congress.

Al Qaeda-linked gunmen capture Syrian town near Turkey
BEIRUT – Al Qaeda militants in northern Syria captured a town near the Turkish border Thursday following heavy clashes with Western-backed rebels, prompting the closure of a nearby frontier crossing, activists and Turkish officials said.
It was the latest development in what has effectively become a war within a war in northern and eastern parts of Syria -- pitting moderate fighters and Kurdish militiamen against extremists with ties to Al Qaeda in recent battles that have left hundreds dead from both sides.
The U.S. and its European and Gulf allies are increasingly concerned about the rising prominence of Islamists among the rebels, who have played a major role in the civil war against President Bashar Assad's forces.
Elsewhere, a bus struck a roadside bomb in the central province of Homs, killing 19 people, a local official said. The blast in the village of Jbourin also wounded four people, according to the official from the governor's office who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
The village is predominantly Alawite -- an offshoot of Shiite Islam and a minority sect of which Assad is a member -- but it also has Christians and Sunni Muslims.
It was not immediately clear why the bus was targeted. The civil war, which has left more than 100,000 dead, has taken increasingly sectarian overtones. Most of the rebels trying to overthrow Assad belong to the majority Sunni sect.
The fighting in the north prompted Turkey to close the border crossing of Bab al-Salameh, a Turkish Foreign Ministry official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group that monitors the conflict, said members of the Al Qaeda offshoot, known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, stormed the town of Azaz on Wednesday evening, forcing opposition fighters from the Western-backed bloc to pull out.
Clashes between both sides broke out when ISIL fighters tried to detain a German doctor they accused of taking photos of their positions on behalf of the rival rebels, said Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory. The doctor, a volunteer in the region, escaped, but the two rebel factions started fighting.
Amateur video showed dozens of gunmen with heavy machine guns on pickup trucks gathering at the border with Turkey. The Associated Press was able to verify the footage based on interviews and other reporting on the events depicted.
Abdul-Rahman said three opposition fighters and two jihadis were killed. On Thursday, mediation was underway to get the Al Qaeda-linked militants to leave Azaz, he said.
Loay al-Mikdad, a spokesman for the Western-backed rebels of the Free Syrian Army, said the Al Qaeda-linked fighters "want to occupy the area."
"What they are doing is unjustified, it serves the (Assad) regime," al-Mikdad said by telephone from Turkey.
In July, ISIL fighters killed two FSA commanders. The deaths enraged the FSA leadership, which has demanded the killers be handed over for trial.
There has also been infighting among rebel groups in the eastern province of Deir el-Zour, which borders Iraq, and in the north where Al Qaeda fighters from ISIL and their allies in the Nusra Front have been battling Kurdish rebels for months.
The rise of jihadi fighters has been a worrying development, and FSA members have increasingly been on the offensive against the Al Qaeda militants, whom they feel have discredited the rebellion.
The U.S. and its allies have been reluctant to get involved militarily in Syria or give lethal weapons to the rebels because of concerns the munitions would end up in the hands of jihadis.
The two sides have engaged in retaliatory killings in recent months. Kurdish militiamen have also been fighting against members of the ISIL and the Nusra Front in predominantly oil-rich Kurdish areas of northeastern Syria.
Residents of rebel-held areas are also turning against extremists for their brutal tactics and for trying to impose Islamic law.
According to Charles Lister, an analyst with HIS Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Centre in Britain, Al Qaeda-linked fighters make up between 10,000 and 12,000 of the insurgency's estimated 100,000-member force but wield far more influence because of their better discipline and battle experience.
Jihadis "represent a comparatively small minority of the total insurgent force, but as a result of superior finances, organizational capacity and individual fighter subservience to tight command and control structures, they have been able to exert far more of an impact on the conflict than some larger and more moderate insurgent forces," Lister said in a statement.
Also Thursday, Oxfam said many donor countries are failing to provide their share of the funding for the humanitarian response to the Syria crisis. Donors, including France, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Russia, should make funding the U.N.'s $5 billion appeals a priority, the international aid agency said.
Oxfam's report came ahead of next week's donors meeting in New York. The donors have been influential in shaping the international response to the conflict, but should also pay their fair share of the humanitarian aid, the agency said.
The fighting has forced 7 million people from their homes since the uprising began in March 2011. Five million Syrians have been displaced inside the country and more than 2 million have fled to neighboring Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq, the U.N. said.

Back in April, as the documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed premiered in more than a 1,000 theaters across the country, I gathered with friends for an early Friday evening screening in downtown Washington, DC. The medium sized Regal Cinemas theater was about 80% full, with an audience that appeared to be the typical urban professional crowd for the surrounding arts and entertainment district, a demographic on a Sunday that is more likely to read the New York Times at a coffee house than to attend church.
As I watched the film and monitored audience reaction, I grew convinced that although Expelled's claims have been thoroughly debunked, the documentary's long term impact remains dangerously underestimated.
In the film, the comedic actor Ben Stein plays the role of a conservative Michael Moore, taking viewers on an investigative journey into the realm of "Big Science," an institution where Stein concludes that "scientists are not allowed to even think thoughts that involve an intelligent creator." Expelled goes so far as to outrageously suggest that Darwinism, as Stein calls evolution, led to the Holocaust, and that today scientists have been denied tenure and that research has been suppressed, all in the service of hiding the supposedly fatal flaws in evolutionary theory.
Expelled employs several techniques common to political advertising. First, Stein's narrative relies heavily on the use of metaphor. For example, his version of the "3 a.m. phone call" is to bookend the film with historic footage of the Berlin Wall and a repetitive emphasis on freedom as a central American value. The sinister message is that "Darwinism" has led to atheism, fascism, and communism. As a corollary, if Americans can join Stein in tearing down the wall of censorship in science it would open the way to religious freedom and cultural renewal.
Expelled also strategically employs emotion while playing on low levels of knowledge among movie-going audiences. As a way to trigger anger, Stein misleadingly defines celebrity atheists such as Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens as the representatives of "establishment science." In interviews, as these scientists compare religion to fairies, hobgoblins, and knitting, the implication for viewers is that in order to leave room for God in society, the concept of intelligent design (ID) needs to be taken seriously.
In the screening I attended, somewhat predictably, there were chuckles and positive laughter in reaction to Stein while there was audibly negative emotion directed at the comments of Dawkins and the other scientists. As the film credits rolled at the end, there was even a strong round of approving applause.
Expelled's misleading emphasis on atheist punditry as representative of science even had film critics bristling. In reviews otherwise harshly dismissive of the documentary, Jeffrey Kluger of Time magazine described Dawkins and Myers performance as "sneering, finger in the eye atheism," while Justin Chang of Variety referred to Dawkins' commentary as "atheism taken to hateful extremes."
There is no way to tell how nationally representative the Washington, DC opening night audience might have been, although I have observed similar emotional reactions among university students with whom I have tested Expelled's YouTube clips. At various other locations across the country, several bloggers have reported that they were the only person in the theater for a Sunday matinee or a weekday evening show. One thing, however, is for sure: By documentary box office standards, Expelled has made its mark.
With more than $7.5 million earned at the box office, Stein's propaganda film ranks as either the sixth or seventh top grossing public affairs documentary of all time. Only Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me, and Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko, and Bowling for Columbine have grossed more than Expelled. (After controlling for inflation, add Moore's 1989 Roger & Me.)
Premise Media Inc, the production company that marketed Expelled, targeted two key demographics for the film. Predictably, a main segment included Evangelicals and social conservatives, with the production company advertising heavily on political talk radio stations and by way of Christian media and church networks. But in running advertising spots during The Daily Show and on CNN, the company also hoped to appeal to less religious thirty- and twenty-somethings, an audience more familiar with Ben Stein as a comedic actor and satirist than with the recent political skirmishes over evolution.
Yet despite these savvy marketing efforts, Expelled was unlikely to break the forces of ideological selectivity that have snared even the most successful documentaries. For example, polling data shows that the theater audience for Fahreinheit 9/11, which earned $120 million dollars at the box office, skewed heavily liberal and was more likely to live in "blue" rather than "red" counties of the country. Moreover, a recent study finds that rather than converting movie-goers into supporting John Kerry during the 2004 election, the effects of the film were most likely to reinforce and intensify already strong anti-Bush sentiment. In short, Fahrenheit 9/11 helped activate and mobilize the existing anti-Bush segment rather than persuading new converts.
Survey data specific to Inconvenient Truth and Sicko reveal similar selectivity bias and ideological reinforcement. Although similar data is yet available for Expelled, according to news reports, Premise Media's own exit survey data from theaters in six states showed that 80% of the film's viewers during opening weekend considered themselves "born again" Christians.
Yet Expelled's influence stretches well beyond the theater and any ideologically reinforcing impacts on viewers. As I review in a recent report to the Ford Foundation, these indirect influences can be tracked across several different dimensions with the most important impacts relating to the news and policy agenda.
For example, although many mainstream film critics have savaged the documentary, Stein's arguments have received either uncritical or positive coverage in reviews at Christian or conservative Web sites, in appearances on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, and by way of strong endorsements on conservative talk radio and cable news programs such as Rush Limbaugh, Headline News' Glenn Beck, and Fox News' Hannity & Colmes.
Since the 2005 Dover court decision, intelligent design had been off the national news radar, yet Expelled helped restart the media conversation, at least temporarily. Perhaps most importantly, by way of columns, op-eds, uncritical features, and letters to the editor at local newspapers across the country, the film offered both an opening and a new "authoritative" reference point for ID proponents to once again misleadingly argue that there are holes in evolutionary theory and censorship in schools.
Perhaps most troubling have been the advanced screenings for policymakers, interest groups, and other influentials. Expelled's producers have previewed the film for both the Missouri and the Florida state legislatures, connecting the film's message to a proposed "Academic Freedom Act" in each state that would encourage teachers to discuss the alleged flaws in evolutionary science. As Stein strategically framed the matter at the screening in Florida: "This bill is not about teaching intelligent design. It's about free speech."
With each of these dozens of screenings there has likely been a strong intensification of commitment and emotion among the conservative activist base in attendance along with advocacy training, the raising of money, and the distribution of other resources such as DVDs and literature. In particular, Expelled provides these activists with an increased repertoire of arguments, talking points, and examples to use with neighbors and friends.
There is even the possibility that the screenings helped anti-evolution groups link up with new conservative coalition partners not previously involved on the issue. For example, Stein has shown Expelled at several meetings and venues here in Washington, DC, including a special screening for Congressional staffers.
When the film moves to DVD distribution, expect more of these types of Expelled screenings, house parties, and church gatherings across the country, all aimed at mobilizing a political movement in favor of anti-evolution bills. As Reason magazine's Ronald Bailey reports, at a April 15 press conference at the conservative Heritage Foundation, Expelled's financial backer Walt Ruloff said that as many as 26 states had been targeted this year with so-called "freedom bills." As of May 2008, bills introduced in Florida, Alabama, and Missouri have been voted down while similar bills are still up for full legislative vote in South Carolina and Louisiana.
Over the next few years, Expelled's enduring impact will be to serve as a vehicle for recruiting and mobilizing anti-evolution activists at the state and local level across the country. The targeted audience will include school board members, church leaders, legislators, journalists, and other opinion-leaders. Shown in its entirety or perhaps more effectively repackaged in 10 to 15 minute outtakes, these screenings will combine emotionally powerful metaphors with the commentary of various outspoken atheists to manipulate for viewers the important differences between science, religion, and atheism.

You have an excellent point; the world would be a much better place if we defended each other from insults, slights, and discrimination.
There are times, however, when coming to another's defense will not do any good, and may very well do more damage than simply leaving it alone. One person making insulting comments is an annoyance. A dozen people loudly shouting back and forth about someone else is far, far worse.
I'm not saying you should ignore other users making insulting or degrading comments. But make sure your defense is welcomed before you make it. Give the offended party a chance to handle it their own way. It's better to quietly offer support, and make a vocal defense only when you are sure it will be appreciated, than it is to speak out of turn and possibly make a situation you know nothing about even worse.

Jon Kabat-Zinn discusses what mindfulness and meditation are really about: presence of heart. This was part of a talk put on by UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center.
I've said the same thing myself. In fact I titled another post a while back, Meditation is the PRACTICE of learning to PAY ATTENTIOn. That is all. Here Jon Kabat-Zinn says the same thing. It's about paying attention in a systematic way.
Later on the system can also fall away.
Here are some books by Jon Kabat-Zinn. You really can't go wrong. I've often recommended Wherever You Go, There You Are as a beginning text, but he now also has a newer book that I've not read called Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment–and Your Life:

The Storyline
The Harvard women's basketball team is heading back out on the road this weekend to take on Cornell and Columbia in Ivy League action. The Crimson will first face the Big Red Friday, Feb. 3 at 7 p.m., before taking to the court against the Lions Saturday, Feb. 4 at 7 p.m.
Last Time Out
Brogan Berry and Victoria Lippert combined for 20 of Harvard's 31 second-half points as the Crimson fended off Brown's comeback attempt for a 65-57 victory Sunday afternoon in Lavietes Pavilion.
Harvard led by as many as 18 points after the break but found itself tied with Brown at 54 with 4:31 to play. The Crimson rallied to close the game on an 11-3 run, however, with Berry netting eight of those points, to pick up its eighth Ivy League win in 10 chances at home.
Berry finished with a game-high 16 points and went 9-of-10 from the free-throw line. Lippert notched 14 points while going 4-of-7 from beyond the arc, and Christine Clark added 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Miriam Rutzen picked up her first double-double of the season, scoring a season-high 11 points while pulling down 11 boards for the second consecutive game.

Step Your Game Up
Junior Victoria Lippert has stepped her game up over the team's last eight games, averaging 12.8 ppg while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor and 47.5 percent from three. Lippert averaged 11.4 ppg in the Crimson's first nine contests, but shot just 40.8 percent from the floor and 34.7 percent from three. Lippert currently ranks second in the Ivy League in field-goal percentage (46.0), three-point percentage (40.4) and three-point field goals made (2.1).
Join the Club
Junior Victoria Lippert had scored 963 career points entering the weekend and needed just 37 more to become the 16th member of Harvard's 1,000 point club. Sophomore Christine Clark, meanwhile, is more than halfway there with 596 points in just 45 career games.
Brogan Berry and Emma Markley '11 both joined the club last year, becoming the second duo in program history to reach the 1,000 point plateau in the same season after Erin Maher '93 and Deb Flandermeyer '93 did so during the 1992-93 campaign. Berry, meanwhile, became just the fifth student-athlete in program history to reach 1,000 points in her junior season.
Just Like Home
Harvard has won three straight games on the road, marking the team's longest road winning streak since posting five straight in February of 2010. The Crimson is 4-4 on the road for the season and is looking for its first winning season on the road since going 10-5 in 2008-09.
Harvard has won 297 games in the Ivy League and will soon become just the second program behind Dartmouth to reach 300. The Crimson has won 276 of those games under Head Coach Kathy Delaney-Smith, and has won at least 10 games in the conference 16 times.
Its Been A While
Head Coach Kathy Delaney-Smith, in her 30th season at the helm of the Crimson, has coached 792 career games and will coach her 800th Feb. 25 at Penn. Delaney-Smith has also been on the sidelines for 397 Ivy League contests and will coach her 400th Ancient Eight game Feb. 10 at home against the Quakers.
Block Party
The Crimson recorded a season-high 10 blocks against Yale, led by Miriam Rutzen's four and Missy Mullins' career-high three. This marked the first time Harvard had tallied at least 10 blocks in a game since swatting away 11 Columbia attempts on Feb. 20, 2010.
Nationally Known
Harvard entered the weekend ranked 16th in the NCAA in free-throw percentage (76.5) and was 43rd with a +5.4 rebounding margin. The Crimson also ranked 12th in personal fouls (13.1), 64th in field-goal percentage (41.7) and 75th in three-point field goals per game (6.0).
Individually, Brogan Berry owned the 19th best assist-to-turnover ratio (2.1) in the land while her 4.9 apg were good for 48th. Berry also ranked 30th in free-throw percentage (86.4) while Christine Clark came in at 59th (83.3). Victoria Lippert, meanwhile, ranked 20th in three-point percentage (40.4) and was 92nd in three-point field goals (2.1).
They're on Fire
Harvard entered the weekend leading the Ivy League in field-goal percentage and free-throw percentage, connecting on 41.7 percent of its attempts from the floor and 76.5 percent at the line. The Crimson has led the league in free-throw percentage each of the last two seasons while finishing second in field-goal percentage over that same span.
Individually, Victoria Lippert ranked second in the conference in shooting percentage (46.0) while Emma Golen was ninth (43.0). Brogan Berry had the third-best percentage at the line (86.4) with Christine Clark coming in just behind her at sixth (83.3).
From Way Down Town
Emma Golen entered play this weekend as the Ancient Eight's leader in three-point percentage (44.4) while Victoria Lippert ranked second (40.4). Lippert's 2.1 three-point field goals per game, meanwhile, were good for second in the conference with Golen's 1.5 makes per game ranking her eighth. The two had combined to shoot 47.5 percent from three over the team's last 12 games, with Golen hitting on 21-of-40 attempts and Lippert nailing 27-of-61.
Cleaning the Glass
The Crimson outrebounded its opponents in 15 of its first 17 games this season, including 10 straight from Nov. 22 to Jan. 7. Harvard had not outrebounded opponents in 10-straight games since the 2006-07 season, when it went 15 straight games with a rebounding advantage. Harvard's 39.1 rpg ranked second in the Ivy League entering the weekend, while its 33.7 rebounds allowed were first. The Crimson also ranked second with a +5.4 rebounding margin.
Individually, Miriam Rutzen ranked fifth in the Ancient Eight with 6.5 rpg after pulling down 11 rebounds in back-to-back games against Yale and Brown.
Triple Threat
Returning All-Ivy selections Christine Clark, Brogan Berry and Victoria Lippert are each averaging over 10 ppg and are among the Ivy League's leading scorers. Entering the weekend Clark had netted 15.2 ppg, which was good for fourth in the conference, while Berry ranked eighth with 12.5 ppg and Lippert ninth with 12.1 ppg.
Haven't We Seen You Before?
Senior Brogan Berry entered the weekend having made 103 career appearances in a Crimson uniform, including 102 career starts. Should she appear in each of the Crimson's final regular season games, she will finish with 114 career appearances, second only to Christine Matera's '11 115. If Berry starts each of Harvard's remaining regular season games, she will set the new program record for career starts at 114.
Media Savy
Head Coach Kathy Delaney-Smith participated in the Ivy League's annual media teleconference on Jan. 12 to discuss her team's play heading into the conference slate. Brogan Berry, meanwhile, appeared on the fourth episode of Inside Ivy League Basketball on Jan. 11 to talk about the milestones she had recently reached.

Players of the Week
Senior co-captain Brogan Berry has earned two Ivy League Player of the Week awards this season, giving her five for her career and putting her one shy of entering the Ancient Eight's all-time top 10 for player of the week honors. She most recently earned the honor on Jan. 9 after averaging 14.5 ppg and 5.5 apg in wins at UMass and TCU.
Sophomore Christine Clark was named the Ivy League Player of the Week Nov. 28 after averaging 17.5 ppg and 7.0 rpg in a 1-1 campaign. This was the first player of the week award for Clark after having been named rookie of the week three times in 2010-11.
Doubling Up
Brogan Berry, Christine Clark and Emma Golen and Miriam Rutzen each entered the weekend having recorded a double-double this season, with Rutzen's 11-point, 11-rebound performance against Brown being the most recent. Clark posted 17 points and 10 rebounds at Dartmouth, while Berry notched hers with 12 points and 10 assists at UMass. Golen recorded the first double-double of the year against Boston University with 10 points and 10 boards.
Miriam Rutzen, meanwhile, matched Golen on the glass with 10 boards against BU, making the two the first pair of Crimson student-athletes to notch at least 10 rebounds in the same game since Jackie Alemany '11 (13 rbs.) and Victoria Lippert (10 rbs.) did so at Cornell on Feb. 19, 2010.
You Can Count on Clark
Entering the weekend, Christine Clark had scored in double-digits each game this season and in 19 straight dating back to last year. In 45 career games, Clark has scored at least 10 points 38 times and has been limited to under five points only once.
In the Clutch
Harvard has played several games this season which have been decided down the stretch, and two of the team's leading scorers have stood up to the challenge. Christine Clark entered the weekend shooting 54.5 percent (6-11) with less than two minutes to play while going 21-of-25 from the line for a total of 33 points. Brogan Berry, meanwhile, had totaled 32 points on 46.2 percent shooting (6-13) while going 20-of-23 at the charity stripe.
A Tale of Two Halves
Harvard has thrived in the first half of games, and entered the weekend having averaged 32.4 points on 42.5 percent shooting while allowing 28.5 points on 40.4 percent shooting. In the second half, however, the Crimson is scoring 33.0 points on 41.0 percent shooting while allowing 35.1 points on 39.8 percent shooting. Additionally, Harvard has made 66-of-183 attempts from three before the break but just 36-of-150 after.
The Crimson held both UMass (47) and TCU (44) to under 50 points, marking the first time Harvard had done so in back-to-back games since March of 2008. Both the Minutewomen (26.6) and Horned Frogs (23.7) also shot below 30 percent, a feat which Harvard had not accomplished since at least the 2001-02 season, the last season for which complete game-by-game records are available.
BIG Time Win
Harvard's 63-56 win over St. John's on Dec. 22 was the team's first over a BIG EAST opponent in exactly eight years, following a 73-59 win at Providence on Dec. 22, 2003. It was also Harvard's first win over a BIG EAST opponent at Lavietes Pavilion since a 79-76 triumph against Syracuse on Nov. 22, 2002, and its first over a BCS conference school since an 82-81 win over Boston College on Nov. 14, 2009.
And the Award Goes To...
Brogan Berry was named the CollegeSportsMadness.com Ivy League Player of the Week on Jan. 9 after averaging 14.5 ppg and 5.5 apg in wins at UMass and TCU, marking the third time this season the award has gone to a Crimson student-athlete. Emma Golen earned the honor on Dec. 4 after posting her first career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds against Boston University, and Christine Clark was named player of the week Nov. 13 following the Crimson's appearance in the Hawkeye Challenge to open the year.
Now Starting for Harvard...
Harvard had posted an 8-8 record entering the weekend when using the starting lineup of Brogan Berry (102 career starts), Christine Clark (45), Victoria Lippert (63), Emma Golen (16) and Miriam Rutzen (29), and is 1-0 with the starting five of Berry, Clark, Lippert, Missy Mullins (1) and Rutzen. Golen had started each of the first 12 games this year but was forced out of the lineup at TCU after suffering a concussion.
Player to Watch
Senior co-captain Brogan Berry, who has posted 15.0 ppg and 4.7 apg season, was featured on Graham Hays' list of mid-major players to watch on ESPN.com.
"The 5-8 Ohio native averaged 4.6 assists per game as a junior and ranked ninth in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio. She's not all pass, holding onto the ball often enough to lead the Crimson by averaging 13.6 points per game and shoot 39 percent from the 3-point line."
Captaining the Ship
Seniors Brogan Berry and Lindsay Louie were chosen by their teammates as captains for the 2011-12 season. Berry is a three-year starter and two-time team MVP, while Louie earned the Harvard Pride Award following the 2009-10 season.

Slow start enough to send Gray to loss against Yanks

OAKLAND -- On Fireworks Night at the Coliseum, the A's lacked their usual spark.
Oakland mustered just two hits against David Phelps and the Yankees in front of a sellout crowd on Friday night, dropping the opener of a three-game series, 7-0.View Full Game Coverage
The seven-run loss marked the third shutout and the largest margin of defeat all season for the A's, who have now lost three of their last four.
"Sometimes it goes that way," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "You'll get hits in bunches and everybody hot, and then other times, it cools off as a club. We've been in a little bit of a funk for maybe a week or so."
Sonny Gray settled in after allowing three runs in the first two innings, but the A's simply could not figure out Phelps, who pitched 6 2/3 frames and surrendered both Oakland hits.
Despite their best efforts to work the count, the A's went hitless against Phelps until the fifth, and they didn't get a baserunner past second all night.
"It's definitely one of the best starts of my career, probably," Phelps said. "Coming against a team that is first in its division and has one of the best records in baseball -- my biggest thing is trying to go out and give us a chance to win every time out. Our offense gave me a chance to be successful today."
The A's lone hits came from Derek Norris and Jed Lowrie, while the middle of the lineup stayed cold. John Jaso is now hitless in his last 17 at-bats, Josh Donaldson is mired in an 0-for-27 slump, and Brandon Moss is 1-for-his-last-17.
For a team that has made a habit of scoring runs in bunches, Friday's game was frustrating.
"For as well as [Phelps] pitched, he threw a lot of balls, which usually we take advantage of that," Moss said. "But any time when we would get the pitch count up, we always seemed to have two strikes. We'd get a guy on and just couldn't get anything going."
The Yankees opened the game with three straight singles by Brett Gardner, Derek Jeter and Jacoby Ellsbury, with Ellsbury's hit scoring Gardner. Mark Teixeira followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0, and Gardner's RBI in the second increased the A's deficit to three runs.
Gray found his rhythm after seven of the Yankees' first 11 batters reached base, retiring 13 of his last 14 to put together a quality start. But the Yankees put the game away in the eighth with four runs off Jeff Francis, all with two outs.
"They put the ball in play early, and I left a few balls up, and they were able to take advantage of it," Gray said. "They were aggressive, and once we were able to start making pitches down in the zone, we got them out. It was just a little too late."
After posting a 1.99 ERA in his first 10 starts, Gray has surrendered 15 runs in 24 innings over his last four outings. He has also allowed eight first-inning runs in 14 starts.
"That's probably been his problem the last few times in the starts, whether it's ball-strike ratios, or giving up some hits [early] like he did tonight," Melvin said. "The good news is he settled in pretty well. This was probably his most difficult start, as far as giving up hits early on, but he was able to give us six innings and settled in and threw the ball well after the second inning."
Phelps exited with two outs in the seventh, and Dellin Betances and Jose Ramirez held Oakland hitless over the final 2 1/3 frames.
It was the third time in 2014 that the A's have been kept to two hits or fewer.
"We've sort of had a little bit of a stretch here where we haven't taken the kinds of swings that we want to take, or have the at-bats that we want to have," Moss said. "But that's the ups-and-downs of the season. You're going to have your hot times, and you're going to have your bad times, and you've just got to fight through those times and try to find a way to be productive, at least sometimes, during that."
New York snapped Oakland's streak of seven straight wins against the Yankees at the Coliseum, improving to 5-2 on its nine-game road trip.

Oh well. I really like the combination of the dress and trench dress over it.

- October 7, 2010 at 7:21 PM
I really like this look! Sorry that you weren't feeling it though. It's such a bummer when you go out and realize that you don't like what you're wearing. It's the worst and definitely puts a damper on things. However, I think that striped dress underneath is marvelous! I would love to see you restyle it again sometime. Great leather boots as well.

I just watched the greatest movie called the Brothers Bloom where the female characters wear a lot of versions of trench coats and what looked fabulous was pairing the lighter coats with dark or pops of bright colors like red. Maybe try something along those lines!

Netcordia's NetMRI appliance is an easy-to-use tool that helps Capt. Randy Floyd identify and manage problems before they affect network performance.
But even the best tool needs eyeballs and hands to take full advantage of it.
"I would like to be able to dedicate one person to look at NetMRI and run some in-depth analysis every day" to troubleshoot potential problems and suboptimal configurations, said Floyd, network operations and telecommunications manager at the Tennessee Military Department.
Related story:
Management tool helps Tennessee Guard stay on top of network performance
Problems are easy to spot and fix with the networking tool, but if Floyd had the time or manpower, NetMRI also could let him deal proactively with minor issues — things that are working today but might become problems tomorrow.
"It's giving me actionable intelligence," he said. "I just can't always act on it."
Having another person devoted at least part-time to network management could help move the network from a respectable 80 percent or 85 percent efficiency to better than 90 percent, he said.
Staffing at the Tennessee Army National Guard, as in many Guard and Reserve units, is complicated by frequent deployments to other areas. Deployments "have been a significant barrier to the efficiency I want to get to," Floyd said.
It is not a matter of quality or training but stability. "I have very qualified people who are in Afghanistan now," Floyd said. "Some are on their way to Iraq. About the time I get these guys exactly where I want them, they get taken away."

A lodge in Ecuador's Eastern Foothills, built for birders by birders
One of the world's premier birding destinations, Ecuador is home to some 1600 species. However, one of the finest areas for bird watching in the Andes' Eastern Foothills is encountering serious problems. Rainforest in the renowned birding locale of Sumaco is rapidly being logged and converted into farm land, and habitat for birds and other animals requiring primary forest is being lost.
Wildsumaco Wildlife Sanctuary S.A., a small private company dedicated to conservation, is determined to save what we can of this fine forest and its wildlife before it disappears. Our land is a choice, sustainable and bird-rich piece of foothill rainforest, and as an important part of our conservation plan we have built the comfortable and convenient Wildsumaco Lodge on a ridge where forest was cleared years ago by previous owners.
We believe that the combination of land ownership and a fine birding lodge, along with our personal, hands-on, no administrative red-tape approach, is the perfect formula for rainforest conservation here in Sumaco.
Plan to visit Wildsumaco soon - you'll love Wildsumaco!
For some of the finest birding in Ecuador,visit Wildsumaco

I don't want to brag. Well, maybe I do.
I just finished registering for my third visit to LaRoche College in Pittsburgh for GRIP. Yes, I'm very excited.
I'm going to be in the Practical Genetic Genealogy course. The recommended books have been ordered. So, next week I can start reading.
I wish all of you who registered got your first choice. Unfortunately I'm sure that some of you didn't because there are already two waiting lists, and it's just 30 minutes into registration. Still, I hope to see all of you in Pittsburgh in July.
By the way, I sort of yelled at my husband about 10 am MST. Here I am, getting ready to hit the registration button when it shows. And what does he do? He wants to talk to be about coffee. Yes. Coffee. And this is even after I talked about 10 am Wednesday for the past week. And, yes. Before I began writing this I went and apologized and we laughed about it. After all, we're retired. And we don't "clock watch" any more.

I tried to register this morning at 12 on the nose and I could not connect and kept getting a message of error. My daughter said that she thought the system was overloaded. Finally at 12:08 I was able to connect.ReplyDelete
My first choice was Tom Jones and it was already filled. So my second choice was the Internet Archives with Josh Taylor, I got in to that one. I found it very frustrating.

On the night of October 25th as I sat in Lufthansa's maiden flight out of Nairobi, I was both excited and apprehensive. Excited that Lufthansa had returned to Nairobi after an 18 year absence. At an event at the airport to receive the plane that would make this maiden flight, Lufthansa officials said of their decision- Kenya is now a more stable market than when they left Kenya. They acknowledged Nairobi as East Africa's economic powerhouse and a gateway to leisure destinations in the region. They also noted that with Germany as Kenya's 3rd largest export market in Europe (after UK & the Netherlands), they would have flights four days a week. This confidence on Nairobi as articulated by as Executive Board member of Lufthansa, echoed by other firms such as Allianz who also recently announced entry to Nairobi and the opportunities these present for JLL Kenya was the reason for my excitement.
I was also apprehensive, and the reasons for this, earlier this year on our road trip to market the SSA capabilities to both clients and internal JLL colleagues, I had the opportunity to visit Poland and the centre of Excellence. I was shocked by the cold and wind in Warsaw but given the work the team was doing, I predicted that I needed to quickly work on coping mechanisms as I would most likely visit Poland again. My predictions were correct and here I was heading out on an opportunity to spend three days interacting with colleagues from across EMEA hosted both by the CS leadership and the Centre of Excellence team.
The EMEA CS Leadership conference 2015 was very aptly titled Thinking Beyond.
From the content and discussions in the workshops and leadership presentations I gained a deeper understanding of resources available to us, to support various service offerings to our clients in different markets and more specifically in my East Africa perch. The opportunities offered by RED are enormous and should be a "good sell" especially in Nairobi where technology has aided many companies leap-frog the curve in their aspirations and be best in class.
In workshops led jointly by various Business / Solutions development and CR teams and based on actual client scenarios, we walked through the journey from targeting a client to earning their trust and be "their only trusted real estate advisor/ partner", increasingly gaining more and more of their wallet share. My realisation was that it is often not our Real estate skills that are called for; it is the "creativity, passion, the tenacity and some cheek" that will get us there. Of course one must be adequately prepared and understand the clients business very well.
I have returned home encouraged and with the excitement I felt at the opportunities from Global Corporates' interest in Nairobi renewed. I was re-energised, not just from connecting with my colleagues from the EMEA network, but also from learning that what has previously been a pain point for me i.e. the slow and occasionally frustrating journey to get in front of the appropriate decision makers in various target corporates is indeed the journey of many successful JLL teams. Getting insights on how different teams have gone about it was great.
Last but not least, a presentation on "Re-thinking the world of work" by Dr Marie Puybaraud was thought provoking. The Robot guest relations in Hotels, office pantry services operated by Robots! The workplace that is not fixed or defined around a place or timetable; but rather on "choice, fluidity, identity, care "of the individual .I can relate to that but is Corporate Nairobi market ready for it? The uptake of mobile money /Mpesa (19.95 mn registered users since inception in March 2007) and 42% of Kenya's GDP transacted through Mpesa suggests that 'this new workplace' is an idea that HR, CRE & FM should anticipate and prepare for.
I look forward to future visits to Poland.

- the BREAK study, which was a Phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of alagebrium in patients with diastolic heart failure; and
- the Phase 2 trial of a topical formulation of SYI-2074 for the treatment of chronic, mild-to-moderate plaque psoriasis in adults.
Each of these trials will be terminated as promptly as possible.
As noted previously, the Company has submitted an application for 510(k) clearance for its HAPTOCHEK(TM) diagnostic test kit, a protein-based clinical laboratory test to identify patients with Hp2-2 diabetes. The 90-day review process of such submission is ongoing, during which time the FDA will determine whether the kit can be distributed to labs throughout the country as an in vitro diagnostic.
The Company is continuing to explore strategic alternatives in order to monetize its technology assets, which may take the form of sales or licensing transactions with respect to those assets. In light of the Company's cash position and current negative economic and capital markets conditions, if the Company is unable to enter into such transactions in a timely manner, the Company's ability to continue operations beyond the second quarter of 2009 is in doubt.

crowded closet -
I got one strike! Though I love bowling, I'm not the best at it. I'm notorious for getting 9 pins down but never getting the spare.
b.a. -
Generally speaking, I vote comfort over fashion. Actually, comfort AND fashion! Of course, tennis shoes will always be more comfortable than pumps, but it's more fun to wear pumps. If I have to do much walking or the weather is nasty, I stick to practical (but still cute) shoes. Also, I will sometimes wear practical shoes en route somewhere and then change into different ones once I'm there.

Great accessory for truck camping! Fits great in the bed of my S-10, pump works great and has an extra long cord so you can pump it up in the bed. Very cool, would highly recommend.
