Recently I made a jalapeno popper dip that I really enjoyed and I was craving more. This time though I was thinking that making actual jalapeno poppers was the way to go. In theory jalapeno poppers sound pretty easy; just stuff some jalapenos with cheese, bread them and fry them. I have had jalapeno poppers before where the jalapenos were still crispy and barely even cooked and I wanted mine to be soft and fully cooked so I decided to roast them up a bit first. After roasting the jalapenos I removed the loose skin to ensure that it did not interfere with the texture of the poppers. The soft roasted jalapenos were much more difficult to work with but it was well worth the extra effort. The jalapeno poppers turned out great! They were nice and crispy and golden brown on the outside and soft and warm and gooey on the inside with just the right amount of chili heat! I used a combination of cream cheese and cheddar cheese stuffing in the jalapeno poppers and the cheese melted nicely when the poppers were fried. Roasting the jalapeno peppers was the way to go as it added a ton of flavour to the poppers. The only problem was that the poppers disappeared much to quickly and now I need to make some more.

Mortgage lenders love to see borrowers with consistent, steady incomes. But not all borrowers have jobs that send a paycheck every two weeks. Of course there are plenty of self-employed entrepreneurs, but there are also people who are depend on tips for income, those who get paid by contract and also individuals who work per diem or on call. All of these situations can make it very challenging to provide proof of the steady income that mortgage lenders adore.
Fortunately, those with more creative incomes can still qualify for a home loan and it is getting easier. For example, in recent years the underwriting rules have loosened to allow borrowers to submit, in some cases, just one year of income tax documents instead of two. But there may still be some extra steps that need to be taken. Here's how borrowers without steady income can best qualify for a mortgage loan.
Be prepared with all the following documents before you meet with a lender:
More documents may be required, depending on the lender and your exact income circumstances.
Borrowers with irregular incomes have to pass credit checks just as any other buyer must. Having good credit is always going to make it easier and less expensive to obtain a mortgage.
If a lender looks at your taxes and bank accounts and see a huge, one-time deposit or income increase, they may call it a "windfall," which will not count towards your overall income. They try to determine what your true ability to afford and repay a loan and these windfalls are not considered reliable sources of income. If your windfalls are really more of a pattern than an anomaly, try to provide as much documentation of this as possible. Being able to explain why you expect to receive further windfalls of that sort can make a big difference to your lenders.
A longer employment history is helpful when your income is inconsistent. Providing proof of steady employment for many years, even if self-employed, is comforting to lenders as they can verify that your income each year over that period and average it out.
Those who are self-employed, get paid by contract or depend on tips often take tax deductions that others cannot or are tempted to not fully report their income to the IRS. This can cause problems when applying for a mortgage loan because your tax returns make it look like you earn much less than you actually do. Talk to your accountant about how to best to itemize and file your taxes to best enable you to qualify for a home loan.
And of course, do not be shy about talking to us about your situation. We can offer suggestions and tips on becoming a better candidate for a mortgage.

SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Plans on where to base the U.S. military's next-generation fighter jet, the F-35, concern people in communities from California to Florida to Maine who worry the aircraft are too loud.
In Vermont, where the Air National Guard has flown planes from Burlington International Airport for more than 60 years, opponents are especially vocal. But in other communities, even some long accustomed to the roar of military aircraft, the noise of the F-35 has been an issue.
South Burlington City Council President Rosanne Greco, a retired Air Force officer, said she favored bringing the F-35 to her community until she read the draft environmental impact statement released last spring.
The F-35s "will have incredibly significant negative impact on up to 10,000 people who will be unfortunate enough to be in the noise contour zone that the federal government deems unsuitable for residential use," Greco said. "For me it's become a clear-cut analytical choice. The facts say this is harmful to our environment."
The report, she said, considers exposure to average aircraft noise greater than 65 decibels (about the sound of a vacuum cleaner about three feet away) "not considered suitable for residential use." Another section discusses the potential long-term health impacts of exposure to aircraft noise.
The plane's supporters say Greco is exaggerating the number of people who would be affected by the noise contour zone. And they believe she and others are cherry-picking information from the report without providing its full context. There is a section of the report that discusses long-term health effects, for example, but it concludes there aren't any significant health impacts.
The Air Force already has chosen where it will base the F-35s, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter, for training. The next step is to decide where to base the first operational planes, those that would be ready for war.
"Vermont is the most vocal, but Vermont is the preferred alternative for the Guard unit," Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said. "But it's the not the only alternative."
Plans are to base 18 to 24 of the new aircraft in South Burlington by 2020. The military's final decision on the first round of operational bases is expected next spring.
How much louder the planes are than other aircraft is debatable. Opponents cite Air Force charts indicating the F-35 can be at least twice as loud as the F-16 now flown out of Vermont. Others say that's an unfair comparison because measuring sound involves everything from how the planes are flown to weather conditions, the time of day and how long people are exposed.
F-35 supporters in Vermont say the opponents – who have a Facebook page and a separate website – are a small group of activists who number maybe 300. The city of South Burlington, home to the airport, opposes the planes, mostly because of the noise.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and the state's congressional delegation favor bringing the F-35 to Vermont. There are three pro-F-35 Facebook pages and one business group has collected almost 11,000 signatures in support.
If the 18-plane option for Vermont is chosen, considered most likely, the F-35 isn't expected to bring new jobs to the area but it would guarantee about 1,100 well-paying jobs already here. Six additional planes would add about 250 more jobs.
If the Vermont Guard isn't chosen, Col. David Baczewski, commander of the Vermont Guard's 158th fighter wing and a veteran F-16 pilot, said there would be no immediate impact on the current F-16 operations in Burlington.
He said he worries that if the Department of Defense orders another round of base closings, Vermont could be forced to compete against other guard units to keep its role as a front-line fighter base.
"I'd rather separate myself from the pack, be the leading-edge, top fighter wing that we are (and) get named (to fly) the F-35 right off the bat and secure the future," Baczewski said.
Noise concerns have followed the F-35 since it first began flying. Pegged at about $130 million each for the Air Force version, it is the military's most expensive procurement program ever. The F-35 is designed to be the nation's supersonic and most advanced fighter through mid-century, with different models for the Air Force, Navy and Marines.
Despite its cost and noise concerns, there is no other alternative as the plane, nicknamed the Lightning II, is intended to replace fighter planes mostly designed in the 1970s.
In California, the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar is slated to get F-35s in several years, but environmental groups have already questioned the potential impact on endangered species. Neighbors have said they don't want the plane rattling their windows.
Noise concerns also have been raised in Arizona, where the Marines and Air Force are basing F-35s in Yuma and Phoenix, about 185 apart.
In Florida's Panhandle, an area long-accustomed to the sounds of military aircraft, a lawsuit by the city of Valparaiso in part over noise concerns prompted the Air Force to change the Eglin Air Force Base runways the F-35s would use, in most instances, to avoid flying over the city.
Air Force and Marine pilots at Eglin began F-35 training missions last March. Since then F-35 pilots have flown about 600 sorties, with about 2 percent generating noise complaints, a number the base considers small.
Some of the complaints come on days the F-35s are not flying, said base spokesman Mike Spaits.
"We empathize with their plight, but the reality is there does seem to be some level of hysteria involved with the noise complaints on the F-35," he said.
Maine is home to one of the Northeast's largest aerial training areas, the 4,000-square-mile Military Operation Area Condor, which extends into northern New Hampshire. Concerns about the noise of the F-35 play into long-running mistrust among some in Maine about low-level military training flights.
Current plans call for the F-35 to be operated above 7,000 feet over Maine, but there are special low-level corridors.
Some Maine residents seem resigned to the prospect that the louder F-35s will be operating over Maine, said Tom Mauzaka, a retired Air Force colonel, who lives in the western Maine town of Strong.
"This plane is loud," said Mauzaka. "It would be loud at 7,000 feet."
Little, if any, opposition has come from the other two Air Guard bases seen as suitable for operating the F-35s, Jacksonville, Fla., Air National Guard base and McEntire Joint National Guard Base in Eastover, S.C. But in another area of South Carolina, plans to base the F-35 at the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort have brought complaints about potential noise.
Back in Vermont, Winooski Mayor Michael O'Brien, whose city is about a mile from the north end of the runway, traveled to Eglin Air Force Base last month with Shumlin and other officials to listen to the F-16 and F-35 fly over, one after another.
Winooski opposes basing the F-35 at the South Burlington airport if the planes are significantly louder than the F-16s. O'Brien said he was at one end of an Eglin runway while the different planes went over in a number of different configurations.
"They are both loud, but it was hard to really get a handle on just how much louder," O'Brien said. "It didn't blow my socks off, the difference."

Microsoft brings Office to iPhone, but not tablets (Update)
Even as a pared-down version of Microsoft's Office software package arrived on the iPhone, the company is holding out on extending that to the iPad and Android devices as it tries to boost sales of tablet computers running its own Windows system.
Microsoft also isn't selling Office Mobile for iPhone separately. Instead, it comes as part of a $100-a-year Office 365 subscription, which also lets you use Office on up to five Mac and Windows computers. Microsoft made the app available through Apple's app store Friday.
Microsoft Corp. is treading a fine line as it tries to make its subscription more compelling, without removing an advantage that tablet computers running Microsoft's Windows system now have—the ability to run popular Office programs such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Microsoft has been pushing subscriptions as a way to get customers to keep paying for a product that has historically been sold in a single purchase. The company touts such benefits as the ability to run the package on multiple computers and get updates for free on a regular basis. Microsoft said it wants to give customers yet another reason to embrace subscriptions by offering Office on the iPhone only with a subscription.
The iPhone app will let people read and edit their text documents, spreadsheets and slide presentations at the doctor's office or at a soccer game. But many people will prefer doing those tasks on a tablet's larger screen. Office is available on those devices through a Web browser, but that requires a constant Internet connection, something many tablets don't have.
"The nature of the Office suite, being productivity-focused, makes it better-suited for a larger mobile screen," said Josh Olson, an analyst with Edward Jones. "The issue then becomes, 'How do you provide the Office offering in its best-suited mobile environment without negating a distinguishing characteristic of the Windows 8 tablets?'"
He said Microsoft isn't likely to offer Office on the iPad and other tablets until it sees sufficient adoption of Windows tablets first. Because of that, the new mobile app is likely to increase consumer awareness, but it won't significantly increase subscriptions.
Another analyst, Rick Sherlund of Nomura Securities, warned that delaying a tablet version on non-Windows devices will merely help competitors.
"Office is a bigger business for Microsoft than Windows, so we see more urgency to preserve and extend the Office franchise cross platform," he said.
Apple, for one, is refreshing its iWork package this fall, while Google bought Quickoffice last year. The two offerings are among several that are capable of working with Office files on mobile devices, though people using them may lose formatting and other details.
Chris Schneider, a marketing manager with Microsoft's Office team, would not comment on any plans for the iPad or Android.
The regular version of Office works on Windows 8 tablets, and most of the features are available on a version designed for tablets running a lightweight version of Windows called RT. Customers needing to use Office on a larger screen than a phone might be drawn to the Windows tablets, which have lagged behind in sales and cachet compared with Apple's iPad and various devices running Google's Android system.
The iPhone app comes with Word, Excel and PowerPoint and will sync with Microsoft's SkyDrive online storage service. Microsoft said people will be able to pick up a Word document exactly where they left off on another computer tied to the same account, while comments they add to a Word or Excel file will appear when they open it up on another machine.
Although documents will be reformatted to fit the phone's screen, the company said the iPhone app will preserve charts, animation, comments and other key properties. That's not always the case with programs offered by Google and other companies to work with Office files on mobile devices.
But the app doesn't offer the same range of features available on regular computers.
It's meant for lightweight editing, not complex calculations or heavy graphical work, Schneider said. Someone about to give a speech can review a PowerPoint presentation and fix a typo, for instance. Someone getting a Word or Excel document as an email attachment can add comments or make changes, then send it back, either as an email attachment or through a sharing feature on SkyDrive.
Rather than have it do everything, Schneider said, "we designed the Office Mobile for iPhone to meet the scenarios that make the most sense."
The iPhone app also won't have Outlook for email, Publisher for desktop publishing and Access for databases. Microsoft's OneNote software for note-taking has been available for free separately for iPhones and iPads.
People with Office 365 subscriptions will be able to run the new app on up to five iPhones, in addition to the five Mac or Windows computers. People in the United States were able to get it from Apple's app store Friday. Availability in other countries will follow in the coming days. Downloading is free, but a subscription is needed for the app to work.
It's possible to use the iPhone app on an iPad, but the documents are merely blown up to fit the size of the screen. You won't get to see more of a document despite the larger screen, and text and graphics won't look as sharp when enlarged.
Microsoft, which is based in Redmond, Washington, already makes a version for phones running its Windows Phone 8 operating system. An Office 365 subscription isn't required for that, and those apps do not count toward the five mobile devices permitted for each subscription.

When we asked you which companies were the worst at customer service, we expected to hear all kinds: tech companies, communications companies, banks, retailers, restaurants. We didn't expect you to weigh in so heavily with communications companies though, most of which have virtual monopolies, so they get away with whatever they choose. After we collected your nominations, we looked at the five worst companies for customer service, and put them to an overall vote. Now we're back to crown the worst of the worst.
Voting was tight all weekend, and many of you straight out noted that deciding which company has the worst customer service was more difficult than choosing the best of any category. In the end however it was Comcast that took the top spot with over 32% of the votes cast.
Behind Comcast in second place was PayPal, taking the silver with over 22% of the overall vote. AT&T made a respectable showing in third place, pulling in over 20% of the votes cast. The real fight was for fourth and fifth place, which was decided by just over 100 votes: Time Warner Cable edged out Verizon for fourth place with the former earning close to 13% of the overall vote, and the latter pulling in closer to 12%.
The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it—it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five? Send us an email at [email protected]!

How Global Warming Is Making Allergies Worse
Denver, CO —
There may be different opinions about the causes of climate change, but experts say there is no denying its existence — and the effects are nothing to sneeze at. Researchers say global warming is leading to larger plants, earlier and more robust pollination and, as a result, worsening allergies. ldquo;With the combination of increased temperature and carbon dioxide, we are seeing a dramatic change, and allergy sufferers can probably feel that change," said Richard Weber, MD, an allergist at National Jewish Health in Denver, and president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. "We are experiencing longer allergy seasons, earlier onset, and there is just more pollen in the air," he said.
In a compelling publication, Weber cites a series of studies conducted on three continents to illustrate how the changing climate is affecting human allergies. In Great Britain, for example, researchers have identified 385 plant species that are flowering earlier than ever, advancing by nearly a week over the last decade. In the United States, ragweed pollen season has been extended 13 to 27 days; and short ragweed pollen has shown increases in both biomass and pollen production of between 61 and 90 percent. "Pollen counts are going up, and in some cases, dramatically so," said Weber.
Weber's work was published in 2012 the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
By the time this spring rolls around, Janet Clement says she will already be in the throes of her symptoms. In years past, Clement says her allergies spiked in mid-April. "Not this year," she said. "You don't typically have allergies in the winter, but this year they got really bad and I was trying to figure out what was going on. In the past I've taken over-the-counter things to try to help them, but I think, really, this year I need something more."
Clement is not alone. It's estimated there are 40 million Americans who suffer from some form of seasonal allergies. Steadily increasing temperatures may only make things worse. "A year ago, we saw pollen counts of certain trees that were about three times higher than what we normally would see in years past," said Weber. "It was awful. Plants that ordinarily were pollinating in April, by the beginning of March, they were going gangbusters."
Unfortunately, earlier and longer allergy seasons will be a reality from now on. "We're in a fairly consistent rise of temperatures that's been going on for the last 150 years," said Weber. "Even if we act aggressively this year or next year, or 10 years from now, it won't have an impact for another 100 years or so."
That's unwelcome news for patients like Clement, who is now seeing a specialist for her allergies. She knew her symptoms had steadily been getting worse over the last few years, but wasn't sure why. "It makes sense," said Clement who works for an environmental company. "I actually never knew I had them so bad until I got tested."
To help control your pollen allergies, doctors at National Jewish Health offer these tips:
Start taking your medications early: Allergy medications work best if you take them before your immune system has revved up enough to make you miserable. Once the immune system is in high gear medications are less effective and take longer to relieve symptoms.
Get out early: Weed pollens are at their highest levels around midday. Do your gardening and other outdoor activities in the early morning.
Close your windows, even at night: Although the weed pollens may peak during midday, enough weed pollens continue floating in the air during the night to plague allergy sufferers. Turn on the air conditioning instead.

What do you want to be when you grow up? That's something I'll just let myself figure out as time goes by. As of now I think I'd like to be in a band, act, or be an elementary school teacher when I grow up, but we'll see...
Why/how did you start blogging? Read this post!
Are you really 12? Does an adult help you with this blog? Yes, I am, and no, no one does. My parents don't even read it, though they have seen it a few times. I actually started my blog without asking my parents, which I'll admit was irresponsible. No one in my family helps me with my writing, outfits, videos, or pictures (they have offered now and then for the pictures but I guess it's kind of embarrassing for me so I refused they help). I have made 3 videos (you really can't script that much ranting) and have met with various journalists like Elizabeth and website founders like Rich, all of which are great people and would probably want people to know if my mom/sister/neighbor/dad was the real one behind this blog.
Who is your favorite designer? *proof I am a label whore* I will always be faithful to Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons, Vivienne Westwood, Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, Tao Kurihara of Tao, Alexander McQueen, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren of Viktor & Rolf, Nozomi Ishiguro, Yohji Yamamoto, Maison Martin Margiela, Junya Watanabe, Luella Bartley of Luella, and Gareth Pugh, to name a few *ahem*, but I am always discovering new ones which I adore as well. Right now I'm very into Sandra Backlund, especially after happily receiving my Yokoo scarf. And of course, the fake Karl Lagerfield.
What inspires you? Blogs, magazines, photography (whether it's fashion or not), movies, fine art, books, plays, street style, runway, music, hobos, celebrities...it changes a lot. Though I don't think I will ever tire of Japanese street style, the 70's, or evil fairy tale creatures.
How would you describe your style? I can't, really. It's still developing and evolving, and phrases and labels like "hippie chic" bother me. I think giving it a description would tie me down too much, I'm still experimenting after all. Can we say "ADD, bipolar, and hormonal" for now?
What shampoo/conditioner do you use? I actually don't use conditioner very often because it's bad for your hair (or mine, at least), but for shampoo I switch on and off between Dove's anti-frizz and this weird organic one my mom bought.
What are your favorite stores? If I could afford it I would probably shop a lot at netaporter.com or the Comme des Garcons boutique, but the places I actually shop at and like are thrift stores, H&M, Forever 21, and American Apparel. I also can't wait for Topshop and am trying to save up.
Where do you get your clothes? Most of my clothes are thrifted, came from the dress-up box my sisters and I used when we were little, hand-me-downs, or something I wore when I was younger (you've heard me say "childhood closet" before.) As more people have found out about my, erm, fashion interest, some family friends have passed down their vintage clothing, as well.
I live very close to a Salvation Army, and kind of spoil myself there. I have to go into the city for the stores I put under my favorites, but I think that's a good thing. If I lived as close to Forever 21 as I do to the Salvation Army I would be spending a lot more money!
Do you visit blogs written by non-American bloggers, either in English or in other languages? Also, do you check the blogger's nationality? Does it make any difference to you? I definitely visit blogs written by non-Americans, some of my favorites are written overseas! I sometimes notice if a blogger isn't American because of how they write (i.e., Brits say "fringe" and Americans say "bangs") or they mention it, but I don't check. It doesn't make any difference to me really, I think it's pretty neat to read blogs in other languages because it lets the photos speak for themselves. It's pretty cool how global the fashion blogging community is, yeah?
What camera do you use? What do you use to edit your photos? I use a Canon Powershot A590IS. It takes good pictures but is still easy to use (I didn't even read the manual, fine print is hard on me little old lady eyes. Also I'm lazy). It has a self-timer (a plus for any blogger) and I use my dad's old Bogen tripod. I use picnik.com for most editing, and PhotoFiltre for collages and a couple effects that I use now and then.
Was there a moment at some point in your life that you knew you loved fashion, or was it kind of a gradual love affair? Gradual love affair-lame, I know! Unfortunately there wasn't any type of epiphany in the middle of a grocery store where I started grabbing cereal boxes off the shelves and constructing dresses out of them or something cool like that.
What are your favorite magazines? My favorite is probably Rolling Stone, but if you're looking for fashion I recommend: Lula, Vogue UK, Vogue IT, Vogue FR, New York Times' T Style Magazine, Elle girl Korea, Numero, i-D, Dazed and Confused...there are many more, along with some online ones such as FRUiTS, N.E.E.T., and Prim. I also love foto decadent, where people scan in editorials from various fashion magazines. It kills my hard drive.
What are your favorite blogs? Look in my sidebar!
What did you eat for lunch? I actually haven't eaten lunch yet today but I had bagels for breakfast.
What's your favorite breakfast cereal? Cheerios and Special K for breakfast. Otherwise I like Froot Loops and Frosted Flakes, but the old woman in me feels gross eating sugar for breakfast.
Chocolate or vanilla pudding? Gee, all these food questions are SO INTENSE, I don't know if I'm comfortable ANSWERING THIS ONE YOU GUYZ. Chocolate, hands down.
Who do you most look up to style wise? I don't really have a "style icon." I try to take inspiration from various people but I think since I'm so ADD I can only be obsessed with Marie Antoinette for so long until I move on to Courtney Love.
Do you find it difficult to find clothes that fit you properly? Do you often have to get your clothes taken in? Most of the time, yes, it is rather hard. I don't take in any of my clothes because I have zero patience for sewing and figure a belt will be able to do the trick most of the time, but being small helps in that I get many hand-me-downs! When I find a thrift gem that is too big for me but I just don't have the heart to let go of, I have a sisterhood of fashion bloggers to pass it on to. Traveling pants? More like traveling vintage EPICNESS. Huzzah.
What are your favorite pair of shoes and why? My floral Dr. Martens I scored on eBay. They're comfortable, as shoes should be, and durable.
What do kids at your school think of how you dress? I think they're used to me by now, or at least they're aware of what a sneaky mouth I have. Normally people like to ask "why," as if I'm trying to protest retail or wearing a grandma dress for the sake of global warming. You learn how to ignore it though. I just think I'm too much of a spiteful narcissist to let it bother me?
What do your teachers think of how you dress? I think it scared them in the beginning of the year, but I talk a lot in class so I think it makes me seem less insane.
Have you always been interested in style? My interest began in March of 2008, before then I just dressed for comfort. I've never been an Aberzombie because the price just never seemed practical to me and I didn't like what the label respresented, but I was more into just a t-shirt and jeans or pajama pants. Practicality and comfort.
What's playing on your iTunes lately? Favorite band? Etc, etc... Right now I have been indulging myself in endless Christmas music (though I don't celebrate Christmas...) but my favorite artist is Bob Dylan and favorite band is Wilco. My other favorites are probably Neutral Milk Hotel, Cat Power, Pete Seeger, Joni Mitchell, Frank Sinatra, Joan Baez, and Feist.
What's your favorite thing in your wardrobe? Oy, do I have to name just one? Probably my lace crinoline, cape, Comme des Garcons for H&M deconstructed jacket, two-tone tights, Yokoo chain scarf, cage skirt, pink bloomers, and silver metallic jacket...
If you could only have three designer items what would they be? You're killin me, smalls! Probably one of the Gareth Pugh armor suits (you really can't thrift or DIY such a contraption), THAT Alexander McQueen dress with all the rainbow butterflies, and anything from this Comme des Garcons collection. Seriously, I'll take ANYTHING. If you gave me another spot to fill it would be a dress from Balenciaga Spring 2008, yes plz.
If you came to my hometown (or vice versa) would you, please, go shopping with me with lamp shades on our heads? Of COURSE I would, Elisa. Do you even have to ask?
Worst story of buyers regret? Nothing too intense, but I once went to a theater that was selling all of their old costumes back in May when I wasn't as confident in my style and it was more low-key. Therefore I picked up some more boring items, and I now wish I had gotten more interesting, costumey pieces-everything was only 50 cents!
Goal for the blog? I've never been here to start a career, as while I love fashion I don't think I'm cut out for the industry. I guess I'll be pretty happy with my time as a blogger if when I end (and who knows when that will be) I can say that I didn't compromise myself for the sake of readers. Bloggers do tend to have a certain style, and it's easy to get caught up in that-to feel like an outfit isn't good enough, or worry that readers will get mad or disagree over something you write. I'm here to develop my style and be able to converse with other bloggers that share my love for fashion, and I think that I'll be happiest ending on a good note. Not necessarily a high one, I don't want to go out with a bang. Just knowing that it wasn't a waste of time and that I got a lot out of blogging-which I can say that as of now, I have.
What keeps you blogging? Just that it's fun, really, as crappy an answer that is. I like getting dressed and taking pictures and rambling on about fantastic editorials and runway collections. Like I said, I don't feel like I need to accomplish anything else with blogging. I've just become quite accustomed to it and like having a place to share my thoughts and post my outfits. It'll be neat to look back on when I'm older.
How does it feel to be one of the youngest recognized bloggers in the fashion blogosphere? Haha, oh jeez. I wouldn't call it that :P It's strange, because it has prompted quite a few people (journalists, specifically...) to be snarky and critical about my age. All in all I feel really lucky though. It has helped me grow a thicker skin, and the experiences it has led to have taught me so many valuable lessons that I otherwise probably wouldn't have learned until I'm way older. It was another "young" blogger that inspired me to start my blog-if I can inspire one more "young" person to start their own, I'll be so glad that I started.
If you could have 5 people alive/dead come to your dinner party, who would they be? What would you serve? This is hard, the kind of question I don't know how to answer when asked but could easily answer in the middle of the night by sitting up and saying "I would definitely like to have _______ over for dinner" in a tone of realization...Bob Dylan, Vivienne Westwood, Barack Obama, Yohji Yamamoto, and Ethel Merman. I would serve pizza, croissants, raspberries, chocolate, and coke. You guys thought I would say Rei, didn't you? I thought about it but I think her mysteriousness is what keeps the label so endearing, yeah? Obama actually has eaten dinner at my friend's house-crazy!
The more I think about it, the more I think my answer to this question will change later...
What are you doing at this very moment? Writing this post, playing with bath salts I made with my friend yesterday, and contemplating where on my bedroom wall to put my Diane von Furstenberg poster.
What is your favorite book? Or do you have more than one? Right now I'm reading And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie which I really like so far. I definitely have more than one favorite book, as nerdy as that may be...The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, Arthur and the True Francine by Marc Brown, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss, The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. I also really enjoy the Shopaholic series, The Series of Unfortunate Events, and the Sammy Keyes series. I am somewhat ashamed to say I order screenplays off of Amazon and really enjoy Thank You For Smoking, though I have never seen the movie...
What holidays do you celebrate in December? You said you're Jewish and your mom is Norwegian but you are obsessed with Christmas music...My mom is from Norway and grew up celebrating Jul. Even though she is now converted to Judaism we still celebrate it for the sake of tradition but don't do the religious aspect of it (growing up she wasn't very religious anyways). We also celebrate Hanukkah, and Christmas music/movies are a guilty pleasure of mine so I kind of spoil myself with Home Alone and A Rat Pack Christmas...
Do you make any of your clothes? I would love to learn but don't know if I have the patience. I once tried sewing a hem on one of my dresses and gave up 10 minutes later. Right now I actually am working on a zipper cage skirt that I'm kind of excited about. I can sew buttons and the like but sewing machines hate me.
What else do you spend money on? Honestly, I don't spend much money on anything except clothes T_T If there is a book I want to read I'll borrow it from the library or a friend and if there's a CD I want, Pando it is...
Does fashion run in your family? Nope. My mom does thrift though, mainly because she loves a good bargain and does like strange things, like painted harem pants and purple tie-dye leggings. She likes dressing up but isn't into fashion like a blogger is, and still doesn't understand some of my outfits. My dad dresses like dads dress.
Whats your favourite fashion hot spot and why? I don't really know what a fashion hot spot is-am I supposed to? Oops...
Out of curiosity, in what productions have you performed? My favorites to be in were probably Thoroughly Modern Millie (costumes were epic too, duh), Beauty & The Beast, Urinetown, Seussical, and Once on This Island.
Do you buy all your stuff (esp. ebay stuff) with your own money and if not, your parents don't mind ebay? Yes. Since I don't live by many retail stores and am very frugal about spending more than $20 for an item of clothing (I made an exception for Rei, of course) a lot of my clothes are from thrift stores and cost very little. My dad is the only one with a Paypal account for eBay, so he pays but I pay him back.
How do you get the money for your clothes? Allowance and babysitting, though I haven't had a job for that in a while. The last time I babysat the baby woke up crying and I consoled him (was about to type 'it' there, whoops total mother potential) by holding him up a la The Lion King and singing Circle of Life. The mom came home early and saw me and never called me again...
What do you do when not blogging? Breathe, eat, sleep, on occasion have a social life. Read, write about things other than fashion, play guitar, bike...I also have weird habits and rituals but those don't need to be said...
How tall are you? An embarrassing 4'6" *clears throat*
How do you get so many readers to your blog? I'm copying this from a post I wrote a long time ago, FYI...
The best way to get your blog out there is to comment when you see something you like on another blog. Interaction and communication, the wonders of the Internet, next to pointless videos of animals sniffing each others butts and illegal music downloads. Yes, it's very nice getting comments (good and bad, either way they're fun to read), but what I love most most most about blogging is just being able to speak my thoughts, take pictures, experiment with clothes, make fun of Belle in my charming and charismatic way, and express my Margiela love. With or without response, blogging is fun! That's the point.
And a very similar question...
I just started a blog, what advice do you have? It sounds like an after school special-but seriously, just be you. You can't make everyone happy unless you are a jesus with hypnotic powers which you are not unless you are a jesus with hypnotic powers which you are not...wear what you want, write about things that you care about, and just have fun with it. It's easy to tell when someone is trying too hard to impress readers and get more comments, and it's kind of a turnoff.
What's your favorite subject in school? Creative writing.
What are your favorite fashion sites, not blogs? Style.com for great runway coverage. Fashionista for excellent fashion news, they update it like every 2 seconds. Foto decadent, where people scan in magazine editorials and inspiration is epic. Weardrobe because it shows the outfits of normal people and all the different ways to wear one article of clothing. Dropsnap, Kera Street Snap, and FRUiTS are my favorites for street style. Polyvore is fun for styling. Independent Fashion Bloggers is a great community with great tips and news.
Do you speak Norwegian? Have you already been in Norway? I have been a few wonderful times, but haven't gone for a few years since it's becoming more expensive. I do not speak as fluently as I used to, but enough to get by and travel. I was surprisingly fluent in the language when I was little because I was kind of growing up around it. My mom used to speak it to my sisters and I a lot and being surrounded by it on trips obviously helped. I could speak Norwegian more fluently at the age of 4 than I can now. Huh.
Where in Norway is your mom from? Oslo, I love it there.
What do your close friends think of your dress preferences? Apparently they think it's "pretty cool," or at least admire my courage to wear what I do (aka, spite).
Do you wear all the outfits on here? Of course! Who would buy clothes and waste time taking pictures of them for a blog?

I am a big fan of mushrooms and I am always on the lookout for new ways to enjoy them. One mushroom that I do not seem to use that often if a fairly common one, the portobello or portabella mushroom. Sure I've done stuffed portabella mushrooms and I've done portobello mushroom sandwiches but that seems to be about it. When I came across the idea of a roasted portabella salad on eat me, delicious I immediately jumped at the chance to try using portobello mushrooms in a new way. This roasted portobello mushroom salad is pretty much like a chicken salad where it is a salad with a sliced roasted portobello mushroom on top. The mushroom is marinated in a tasty balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and garlic marinade and then roasted to perfection before being added to the salad.
Despite the fact that it takes a bit of time to marinate and roast the mushrooms, this salad is pretty easy to make. In fact you could easily marinate and roast the mushrooms a day or so ahead of time and all that is left is to assemble the salad. For the dressing, I went with a grainy mustard version of a honey dijon vinaigrette as I have been into grainy mustards lately. The roasted portobello mushroom salad with honey dijon dressing turned out really well! The mushrooms were nice and tender and they had soaked up all of the wonderful flavours of the marinade. I really liked the creamy avocado and chickpea combo in the salad and the dressing was a nice combination of sweet, sour, hot, tangy and the whole grin mustard added a texture to everything. The portobello mushrooms worked really well in the salad and I look forward to trying more salads with them!
Roasted Portobello Mushroom Salad with Honey Dijon Dressing
- 2 cups salad greens
- 1 cup chickpeas
- 1 avocado (stoned, scooped and diced)
- 1/4 cup red onion (sliced)
- 2 small roasted portabello mushrooms (see below, sliced)
- honey dijon dressing (see below)
- Assemble salad.
Roasted Portobello Mushrooms
- 2 small portobello mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic (chopped)
- Marinate the mushrooms in the vinegar, soy sauce and garlic for 20 minutes.
- Place the mushrooms and the marinade in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven for 30 minutes.
- Flip the mushrooms and bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
Honey Dijon Dressing
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic (grated)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Mix everything in a bowl.

Last year I made some strawberry jam that I really enjoyed. With all of the fresh strawberries around I wanted to make some more but I still had some left from last year. Since I really like the strawberry and rhubarb combination I decided to make some strawberry and rhubarb jam this year. The jam was easy to make, I just followed the instructions in the pectin crystal package. One thing to remember when making jam on the stove is to use a really large pot. The jam expands when it reaches a hard boil and you don't want if spilling over the sides. Of course I could not help myself and I opened up a jar of the jam right away to try. The strawberry and rhubarb jam turned out really good! The tartness of the rhubarb balanced out the sweetness of what otherwise would have been a sweet strawberry jam.
Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam
- 2 cups strawberries (hulled and crushed)
- 2 cups rhubarb (chopped)
- 1 box Certo pectin crystals
- 5 1/2 cups sugar
- Bring the strawberries, rhubarb and pectin crystals to a boil with high heat in a large pot.
- Add the sugar.
- Bring to a hard boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir and skim foam for 5 minutes.
- Pour into sterilized jars.

If you were young in the 1960s or '70s and like many of us didn't live around New York City, the first bagel you ever saw and enjoyed was probably a Lender's.
So it's with a sense of sadness and nostalgia that we pass along this, from The Associated Press:
"Murray Lender, who helped turn his father's small Connecticut bakery into a national company that introduced bagels to many Americans for the first time, has died in Florida. He was 81. Lender's wife, Gillie Lender, tells The Associated Press that her husband died Wednesday at a hospital in Miami from complications from a fall he suffered 10 weeks ago. The couple lived in both Aventura, Fla., and Woodbridge, Conn."
According to the Lender's Bagels website, it was in 1955 when "six bagels were put into a plastic bag, and for the first time, packaged bagels were sold in supermarkets."
Last year, the company says, "more than 750 million bagels passed through our ovens." Lender's Bagels was sold to Kraft in 1984.
The New Haven Register reports that city Mayor John DeStefano Jr. "called Lender a 'philanthropist' and 'entrepreneur' who was a member of a family that was 'this area's immigrant story of success and helped shape little cities like New Haven. The Lender family gave America the bagel."
Related note, added at 11:40 a.m. ET:Another man who meant a lot to our breakfasts died this month. Samuel L. Glazer, who along with Vincent G. Marotta Sr. invented the Mr. Coffee machine, passed away on March 12. He was 89. There's a substantial obit from the The Plain Dealer.

Windows 8 has left a lot of folks fuming. Can Windows Blue win them back?
Microsoft has been busy lately defending Window 8's honor, and for good reason. The din of user gripes, focused mostly on the new operating system's tile-oriented Modern interface, hasn't lessened much since Windows 8 launched last October. Industry analysts have dumped on the new OS too, claiming it bears some of the blame for weak PC sales worldwide.
But is Windows 8 really so bad? This won't come as a surprise, but Microsoft thinks it's pretty good, if you'll just give it a chance. The company recently confirmed that its Windows 8 update, code-named "Windows Blue," is slated for release later this year. A public preview of Windows Blue will debut at the Microsoft Build Developer Conference in San Francisco at the end of June.
Redmond is a bit less forthcoming about Windows Blue's new and updated features, which is the subject of the slideshow that follows. So what can we expect? "[Blue is] an opportunity for us to respond to the customer feedback that we've been closely listening to since the launch of Windows 8 and Windows RT," said Tami Reller, chief marketing and financial officer of the Windows division, in a May 7th Q&A session with Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc. Well, perhaps "feedback" is a friendly word for "grievances."
Whatever the case, we'll find out in a few weeks just how responsive Microsoft is to Windows 8's critics.
Microsoft claims it has sold more than 100 million licenses for Windows 8, up from 60 million in January, and that there are now more than 2,400 certified Windows 8- and Windows RT-certified devices. And Windows 8's acceptance in the marketplace, in terms of license sales, is on par with that of Windows 7 after its debut, the company says. But as InformationWeek associate editor Michael Endler makes clear, there are many more PCs in the world today than when Windows 7 arrived at the end of 2009. To match its predecessor's market share growth, Windows 8 would need to sell significantly more licenses than Windows 7.
So is Windows doomed? Hardly. Even with the anti-Windows 8 uproar, there's no indication that enterprises are ditching the Windows platform. However, given that many businesses are still in the process of upgrading to Windows 7, there's a good chance they may bypass Windows 8 -- and perhaps even Windows Blue -- altogether and hold out for Windows 9. Consumers, however, may find iPads and Android tablets tempting alternatives to Windows-based laptops and tablets, and that has Microsoft worried.
Here are 8 things that Microsoft might fix in Windows Blue.

Classical Music Piece Enhances Roald Dahl's 'Dirty Beasts'
On Sunday, the London Philharmonic debuted a new piece of music based on Roald Dahl's Dirty Beasts. With Matilda playing to sold-out crowds on Broadway and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory running in London's West End, this is just the latest work by the author to get a musical soundtrack.
The children's author Roald Dahl died almost 25 years ago and yet today, you can find more musical adaptations of his work than ever.
"Matilda" is a hit on Broadway. A musical version of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is running in London's West End.
GREENE: Over the weekend, the London Philharmonic Orchestra debuted the newest adaptation of Dahl's work, a classical piece for children based on a collection of poems called "Dirty Beasts." NPR's Ari Shapiro reports on why musicians keep coming back to Dahl's work.
ARI SHAPIRO, BYLINE: While Roald Dahl was alive, there were very few musical adaptations of his stories. One exception was the original movie of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," starring Gene Wilder.
SHAPIRO: This film has become a beloved classic. Roald Dahl hated it. Donald Sturrock was friends with the author and now works with the Dahl estate.
DONALD STURROCK: He really disliked the music and the lyrics, and I think thought they were very cheesy.
SHAPIRO: Dahl's aesthetic is anything but cheesy. From "The Witches" to "The Twits," Roald Dahl wrote stories for children that are dark, bawdy, violent and profoundly funny. Sturrock says Dahl's writing was also very musical, even though he never crafted a tune.
STURROCK: Quite a lot of the books have songs in them. He quite liked to write these rhyming couplets, and I think that whole thing of comic verse was something he was very interested in and wrote quite a lot of.
SHAPIRO: Dahl also used music as inspiration when he sat down to write, though the pieces he listened to were not exactly comic verse. Here, the author spoke with the BBC in 1979.
SHAPIRO: After Roald Dahl died, the estate actively sought out people who would make musical adaptations of his work. On top of the musicals, there are about a dozen classical pieces. There's an opera of the "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and one of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," called "The Golden Ticket."
SHAPIRO: Sturrock says some of these projects were successful; others, less so. He thinks it has taken time for musicians to really absorb Dahl's sensibility.
STURROCK: Its taken 20, 25 years since his death for other people to catch up to the fact that kids' musicals, kids' - you know, pieces for children needn't be sweet and safe, and saccharine and straightforward.
SHAPIRO: Take the musical "Matilda." One of the songs uses a double entendre that you would never hear in "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood." The tune is called "Revolting Children."
SHAPIRO: Here's one important difference between the musicians who adapt Dahl's work today and the ones who did it 25 years ago. The people writing the tunes now grew up with these stories. Ben Wallfisch is a classical composer in his 30s, best known for writing film scores. He vividly remembers the excitement of reading Dahl's "Dirty Beasts" as a kid.
BEN WALLFISCH: I mean, it came out in the early '80s. And it was all the rage, I seem to remember, because there was something extremely naughty about these poems and I think as a young kid, it just appeals to that side of mischief.
SHAPIRO: Each poem in "Dirty Beasts" is a sort of cautionary tale featuring a different animal. There's the scorpion, the crocodile, a lion. As often as not, the poem ends with a child getting eaten. Wallfisch was hired to turn a few of these into pieces for an orchestra. The London Philharmonic debuted the first one, "The Porcupine," at a concert for children on Sunday.
SHAPIRO: "The Porcupine" tells the story of a greedy girl who runs into the forest to gobble a bag full of chocolates. The girl sits on a porcupine and dashes to her mother in pain. The mother sends the girl to a sadistic dentist with pliers, who pulls out the prickles one by one. Wallfisch says he was inspired by Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf," another piece of classical music that uses a narrator and instruments to tell a story.
WALLFISCH: The key thing, for me, was to make it an incredibly exciting and vivid experience for the audience because this is directly aimed at young people. In this case, it was all about finding a way to introduce this quite overwhelming sight of a symphony orchestra, to people under the age of 7.
SHAPIRO: The music does not talk down to kids. It's complicated stuff. Parts of the piece are atonal, chaotic, even scary.
SHAPIRO: The narrator is Chris Jarvis, who has spent his career doing children's TV in Britain. He acknowledges that this is much darker than his typical material.
: And I'm not sure whether you'd get away with it now. It's a bit like cartoons, like "Tom and Jerry." I'm sure if you pitched "Tom and Jerry" now to the commissioner of a children's channel, they'd say what? And you'll say, and he bashes him over the head with a hammer. What?
SHAPIRO: But the kids eat it up. Nine year-old Alice Sanders-Garcia came to the concert with her family.
ALICE SANDERS-GARCIA: I really liked it 'cause it expressed - the music expressed the feelings of the story, and it helped me understand the story better.
SHAPIRO: Like, which parts?
SANDERS-GARCIA: Like, when she sat on the porcupine, it sort of like, went all scary and active. So you understood that she was - without even knowing the story, you understood she was sitting on the porcupine.
SHAPIRO: Alice Sanders-Garcia says she has never seen an orchestra before. Now, she is eager to return.

There's no getting around tracking mother nature's messiness into your entryway, especially this time of year. So with spring just a few days away, it's the perfect time to talk about entryway flooring.
One thing we know for sure, is an entryway is bound to endure a lot of foot traffic, dirt, mud and moisture.

Tile, vinyl and laminate flooring are three great options for an entryway, fitting both the practicality bill and offering style. With today's advances in technology, vinyl and laminate floors can mimic the look and even feel of natural hardwood, ceramic or stone. Throw tile in the mix, and you have an expansive and varied selection of entryway flooring guaranteed to fit nearly any design style.
Pulling inspiration from two beautiful entryway interiors, we've produced flooring palettes that each include a tile, vinyl and laminate option.

A firsthand account of the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden contradicts previous accounts by administration officials, raising questions as to whether the terror mastermind presented a clear threat when SEALs first fired upon him.
Bin Laden apparently was hit in the head when he looked out of his bedroom door into the top-floor hallway of his compound as SEALs rushed up a narrow stairwell in his direction, according to former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette, writing under the pseudonym Mark Owen in "No Easy Day." The book is to be published next week by Penguin Group (USA)'s Dutton imprint.
Related stories:

- Osama bin Laden's son pitches for World Cup deals
- Report: Obama cancelled 3 missions to kill bin Laden
Bissonnette says he was directly behind a "point man" going up the stairs in the pitch black hallway.
"Less than five steps" from top of the stairs, he heard "suppressed" gunfire: "BOP. BOP." The point man had seen a "man peeking out of the door" on the right side of the hallway.
The author writes that bin Laden ducked back into his bedroom and the SEALs followed, only to find the terrorist crumpled on the floor in a pool of blood with a hole visible on the right side of his head and two women wailing over his body.
Bissonnette says the point man pulled the two women out of the way and shoved them into a corner and he and the other SEALs trained their guns' laser sites on bin Laden's still-twitching body, shooting him several times until he lay motionless. The SEALs later found two weapons stored by the doorway, untouched, the author said.
In the account related by administration officials after the raid in Pakistan, the SEALs shot bin Laden only after he ducked back into the bedroom because they assumed he might be reaching for a weapon.
Capture or kill?
White House spokesman Tommy Vietor would not comment on the apparent contradiction late Tuesday. But he said in an email, "As President Obama said on the night that justice was brought to Osama bin Laden, `We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.'"
"No Easy Day" was due out Sept. 11, but Dutton announced the book would be available a week early, Sept. 4, because of a surge of orders due to advance publicity that drove the book to the top of the Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com best-seller lists.
The Associated Press purchased a copy of the book Tuesday.
The account is sure to again raise questions as to whether the raid was intended to capture or simply to kill bin Laden. Bissonette writes that during a pre-raid briefing, a lawyer from "either" the White House or Defense Department told them that they were not on an assassination mission. According to Bissonnette, the lawyer said that if bin Laden was "naked with his hands up," they should not "engage" him. If bin Laden did not pose a threat, they should "detain him."
In another possibly uncomfortable revelation for US officials who say bin Laden's body was treated with dignity before being given a full Muslim burial at sea, the author reveals that in the cramped helicopter flight out of the compound, one of the SEALs called "Walt" , one of the pseudonyms the author used for his fellow SEALs , was sitting on bin Laden's chest as the body lay at the author's feet in the middle of the cabin, for the short flight to a refueling stop inside Pakistan where a third helicopter was waiting.
This is common practice, as troops sometimes must sit on their own war dead in packed helicopters.
Space was cramped because one of the helicopters had crashed in the initial assault, leaving little space for the roughly two dozen commandos in the two aircraft that remained. When the commandos reached the third aircraft, bin Laden's body was moved to it.
Bissonnette writes disparagingly that none of the SEALs were fans of President Barack Obama and knew that his administration would take credit for ordering the May 2011 raid. One of the SEALs said after the mission that they had just gotten Obama re-elected by carrying out the raid.
But he says they respected him as commander in chief and for giving the operation the go-ahead.
Bissonnette writes less flatteringly of meeting Vice President Joe Biden along with Obama at the headquarters of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment after the raid. He says Biden told "lame jokes" no one understood, reminding him of "someone's drunken uncle at Christmas dinner."
Beyond such embarrassing observations, US officials fear the book may include classified information, as it did not undergo the formal review required by the Pentagon for works published by former or current Defense Department employees.
Officials from the Pentagon and the CIA, which commanded the mission, are examining the manuscript for possible disclosure of classified information and could take legal action against the author.
In a statement provided to The Associated Press, the author says he did "not disclose confidential or sensitive information that would compromise national security in any way."
Bissonnette's real name was first revealed by Fox News and confirmed to The Associated Press.
Jihadists on al-Qaeda websites have posted purported photos of the author, calling for his murder.
