Grilled Eggplant and Tomato Soba Salad
From Martha Stewart
Serves: 6
- 1 medium eggplant, cut lengthwise into 1-inch slices
- Coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons safflower oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 medium tomato, halved
- 8 ounces soba noodles
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
1. Preheat grill for direct heat. Sprinkle eggplant slices generously with salt in a bowl. Let stand 30 minutes; rinse and pat dry.
2. Liberally brush cut sides of eggplant and both sides of tomato with safflower oil. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a cutting board; when cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch pieces.
3. Meanwhile, cook soba noodles in a pot of boiling water until al dente, according to package directions. Drain, then run under cold water. Shake dry.
4. Combine eggplant, tomato, soba noodles, scallions, soy sauce, lemon juice, safflower oil, and sesame oil in a bowl. Season with salt. Refrigerate 1 hour. Stir in cilantro just before serving.

Publisher: Penguin (June 28, 2012)
Audience: Preschool to Age 7
Source: Personal Copy
Friendship * Early Reader * Humor * Picture Book
Description from GoodReads:
A friend for always is someone who... knows how to cheer you up when you're feeling droopy, usually sees things your way, and never lets a quarrel get out of hand. As you'll see in these endearing, silly stories, a friend for always is the very best thing in the deep blue sea.
My thoughts on the book:
LOVE. I am in love with this book. When I first read this as a F & G back in February, I knew I had to have it. Imagine your favorite early reader friendship pairs - Mouse & Mole, Frog & Toad, Elephant & Piggie - now add in Squid and Octopus. This not exactly a regular picture book and not truly an early reader will appeal to the audience who loves all those other great friendships. I love this quirky, hilarious pair and I already want more.
As with any early reader, the story of Squid & Octopus is told in four shorter stories. And they are all great.
I am a little partial to The Quarrel where Squid and Octopus argue over socks and mittens.
I loved the simplicity of the color theme that flows throughout the book but there is incredible detail in Nyeu's artwork. I also really enjoyed all of the little side comments sprinkled throughout the book. From above: Fish 1 - Do you think that is carrot cake? I love carrot cake. Fish 2 - I prefer pumpkin pie.
In The Dream, guess who is lurking behind the flip page - Bear and the bunnies from Bunny Days.
The Hat was another one of my favorite short stories in the book. The conversations among the diners at Yum Yum's is hilarious.
And here are my little fish friends again as they try to figure out what is on the heads of Squid and Octopus.
I am hoping that you can see from both the text and illustrations why Squid and Octopus Friends for Always is one of my top picks for this year. I want more Squid and Octopus and hope that Nyeu isn't finished writing about these two friends.
If you haven't seen Squid and Octopus, you need to head over to your favorite Indie Bookstore to pick up a copy or local library, or order it from IndieBound.org
For more information about Tao Nyeu: website | publisher's page

Found some great links thanks to my Google Reader friends and my fellow bloggers:
- This woman has talent (H/T Tasty Booze).
- The big news in Israel is that Lt. Asaf Ramon of the Israeli Air Force perished in an F-16A crash. Lt. Ramon is the son of Colonel Ilan Ramon, the NASA astronaut and participant in Israel's daring 1981 raid on the Iraqi reactor at Osirak. Colonel Ramon perished in 2003 when the Space Shuttle Columbia broke up upon entry into Earth's atmosphere. Oddly enough, both Ramons were F-16A pilots—has Israel not purchased a new front-line fighter since then? (H/T Jenna)
- Seems the Army might finally be doing something to replace the Universal Camoflauge Pattern (which I've talked about before here and here). A few articles today discuss two new patterns which are being tested in Afghanistan: Multicam, a commercial, "off-the-shelf" pattern used by Special Operations forces, and Universal Camoflauge Pattern-Delta. UCP-Delta, by far the ugliest pattern, haphazardly throws Coyote Tan pixels about. As bad as it looks, I can see this actually being the winner…after all, I think the Army is still fascinated with the whole pixilated "digital" look of its uniforms, thinking that they represent a more futuristic Army. H/T Pat O)
- More on Star Wars and its application to Afghanistan: How do Stormtroopers view that fateful day when the Battle of Yavin occurred? A day when Rebel insurgents, such as Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles, and intergalactic pirates such as Han Solo and Chewbacca committed a senseless act of terror and destroyed the Death Star. (I just received word from Darth Cheney that this was to be re-christened the "Freedom Star"). (H/T Pat O)

Hey Loves! F & J here!
Winter is one of the most beautiful seasons, especially in here in Seattle. But there is no doubt that it is COLD. This year the season seems to be bringing us especially cold weather. It is important to make changes to your beauty routine to make sure that you are protecting yourself from the cold weather. The cold weather can be harsh to our skin and hair and the last thing we want to do is cause damage that would take a whole season to repair. So we put together some tips and products we use to keep our hair shiny and healthy throughout the winter season, that can be carried on throughout the rest of the year of course.
Since the cold dries our hair out we always use It's A 10 Miracle Leave in Product. It leaves our hair frizz free and even better tangle free. It also protects and heals damaged hair. Its a bit of a splurge but the bottle lasts a while and it's totally worth it!
Of course wet hair and cold weather is not a good mix so for the next few months the hair drier becomes one of our good friends. But the heat can be damaging so we use Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Primer. This product is an absolute favorite! It not only protects the hair but it cuts hair drying time significantly. Who doesn't love hitting that snooze button one more time?!
The coldness definitely dries the scalp out and sometime can leave us with dandruff and who wants that? One product that has actually worked for us was dpHUE Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse. The smell is quite strong but not unbearable, but if you can get over that it removes dandruff as well as leaves your hair super shiny and smooth.To avoid a smelly head we suggest using it before shampooing and conditioning like normal.
If you feel like you just need a complete hair renewal our favorite go to is coconut oil. We usually just put it all over our hair and scalp and let it soak for at least and hour. It is a bit of pain to get it washed fully out of your hair but it is so worth it. (We suggest a clear paraben free shampoo… it helps).Your hair will be so soft and so renewed! We can guarantee that you will love it!
… and of course hydrating yourself with water is a great way to keep moisture through out your body!
Stay Warm,
*We own none of these photos

Going back to this Planting and Gardening idea, Terri's comment really effected me. It always seems like the most obvious things can be so easily overlooked when you think the answers must be complex. Even doing yoga, while a physical act, is still somewhat symbolic of something else. Why not do the physical act of planting when you are trying to root? Interestingly enough, I have had two raised flower bed that my husband lovingly built for me to all of my specifications, when he built our house. That was 8 years ago and I have NEVER laid a seed in those beds. . . or even tried to plant growing potted plants. Last weekend though, before we even started our week of grounding yoga postures, I went out and weeded and tilled both boxes. Cleared them out. When I got Terri's comment I began to ask myself why I have never planted before? The answer was a bit surprising and embarrassing for me. I have never planted because I don't think I have the nurturing capabilities to raise little plants. I fear I will forget to water them or disregard them in a frost and I will cause them to suffer and die due to my lack of attention and discipline. Ouch. I do live in a harsh climate. I know that I may put in my very best effort and still end up committing mass murder on the little darlings. If only by allowing it to happen. But this year, I feel lucky. I think I had already subconsciously decided that this year is the year I am going to do it. I just need to take my time, plan it out, ask for help, be patient, wait for the growing season to officially begin (June 1 in my area) and not skip steps. Let the process be the lesson. I really really need to try to follow through on this.

I so wish that I could get my photos to look this good. I think it must be something about the crisp mountain air...and reminds me of my days in western Montana.
A garden is good for anyone. A very sturdy plant to start with is any sort of bean, they are indestructible! And will build your courage. I am less good with flowers. This year it is actually DH doing most of our gardening, but the first year I did it seriously, I had a bumper crop--fresh tomatoes until nearly December. And I found that it made me feel like a child again. It teaches us something about the reality of growth...and things that die ARE a natural part of the life cycle. Thanks for the mention.

oooh, you look so crisp and vibrant! love the planting idea (wish I could but gardening in NYC is impossible)...and it's so funny you're going to try growing kudzu! in the south (where i'm from) it's considered the worst weed ever and everyone tries to avoid it at all costs. wikipedia has funny southern sayings about it. i think my favorite is "the vine that ate the south".

Gardening is one of the most relaxing things for me. Just look up which plants thrive in the conditions you have to work with and go for it, it really isn't that hard. They're built to grow after all :) This year I finally have a place with a courtyard garden but it is entirely in (damp) shade. Still I'm going with plants that love these conditions and am having so much fun already getting everything sorted out. It also makes me more aware of the changing seasons, really pressing my nose on the changes out there.
If at all possible, try having a go at vegetables. It's so rewarding to grow your own vegs.
Ha, I'm sorry for rambling here, I'm very passionate about this stuff :)
- April 6, 2011 at 12:05 PM
Glad to see you are posting more often lately, I miss reading up on your style and perspective! Also, the colors in your photographs this week, from the light to the bright showcapped peaks to the pop of blue from your belt are AMAZING! A visual delight :)

- Pat and Shawna Katz said...
Kudzu grows like wild fire and cannot be contained! But I kind of like that, because it reminds me of your spirit!
My husband bought me this book called "Life is Short, Wear Your Party Pants!" and so far a lot of it has reminded me of your spiritual growth!
You look amazing as usual!

what do i love most about this shots? the beautiful backround with it's romantic snowy mountains? or is it the gorgeous blouse paired with this obi-like belt?

I think literally planting a garden is a great idea! Just find out what plants do well in your area, and remember that most of them are a lot hardier than you would think. We have a super short growing season here, and unpredictable weather and I still manage to get a decent veggie and flower garden every year. Even if some of your plants die (which happens!) just having some grow and flourish is such a great feeling. Perennials are good because if you can get them to survive one season they will keep coming back every year!
Also, you look lovely in this very spring-like outfit.

It is a non native invasive plant. It will take over. It cannot be killed even with burnings.

hahaha, thanks for the shout out and yeah, you should probably listen to Rachel, its an invasive plant. (but, very pretty--I can't hate on it completely) I apologize for offering it in a literal sense.
There is a book, teenage era book, called "Toning the Sweep" by Angela Johnson. Quick read, but its talks about a Southern family moving to the desert, and about growing some kudzu there. That's what I was thinking of.

Wooden Boards for Cheese Aging: Reviewing the Science
Wooden boards are widely used for aging cheese in Europe and America. While their use has an established track record for utility and safety, it has also been the subject of debate. Food safety regulations on both sides of the Atlantic require food contact surfaces to be sanitizable, and wooden boards are rough and porous, and therefore difficult to disinfect.

Techniques: Raw Milk Microbiology Guide
In 2012, a consortium of French scientists published a practical guide to raw milk microbiology aimed at farmhouse cheesemakers interested in fostering the natural microbial diversity of their milk. They show that healthy and stable microbial communities contribute to cheese safety (as evidenced by some of the research into the microbial biofilms on wooden boards used for aging Reblochon), and are also crucial to cheese flavour.

Surveying cheese rind microbial diversity
What happens when you collect 137 cheeses from around the world and sequence their DNA? You end up eating a ton of cheese. But more importantly, you learn a lot about what bacteria and fungi live in a typical cheese rind, that sea salt may be a previously unrecognized source of cheese microbes, and whether the notion of 'microbial terroir' holds up in artisan cheeses. In this Science Digested, I provide a digested version of recent research that used new DNA-sequencing approaches to broadly survey the microbial diversity of artisan cheese rinds.
Microbe Guide: Sporendonema casei
If you've ever spotted bright orange patches on the rind of a cheese, there's a good chance it was Sporendonema casei. While orange may instill a sense a fear, this orange mold isn't out to get you. It's a benign mold species that contributes unique aesthetics and flavors in cheese rind ecosystems. [click to view the full story]
Biodiversity of the bacterial flora on the surface of a smear cheese
Brennan et al., Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 2002, 68(2): 820-830. What organisms grow on the surface of a semi-soft, pasteurized washed rind cheese during the course of its development? How does inoculation with a commercial strain of Brevibacterium linens affect the development of the rind microbial community? This paper sheds some light on these very pertinent questions.

Profile: Julie Cheyney – Maker of St Jude Cheese
Julie Cheyney makes a raw-milk lactic cow's milk cheese called St Jude in Hampshire, UK. Before starting to make St Jude, Julie was on the team that developed Tunworth, a Camembert-style cheese that won Supreme Champion at the British Cheese Awards in 2006. We spoke with her about making raw milk cheese and the microbes that play a role in the process.

To start off, I have used backtrack 3 & 4 before, only to crack WEP networks, and I cracked them with a WG111v2 Wireless Adapter that would automatically be recognized by the Backtrack Operating System.
Sadly, that adapter got demolished by siblings, and so I bought a new one.
This one would be a Rosewill RNX-N2LX
Item resides in this link :
Newegg.com - Rosewill RNX-N2LX IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates 64/128-bit WEP (Hex & ASCII), WPA/WPA2, WPA(TKIP with IEEE 802.1x)/WPA2(AES with IEEE 802.1x)
I was wondering how to install the drivers for it on Backtrack 4, because Rosewill provides the "Linux Kernel Drivers."
Those reside here :
Rosewill.com - Networking, Networking, Wireless Networking, Wireless Adapter - N USB, RNX-N2LX
When I open up Backtrack 4, I get those drivers downloaded onto my desktop, but I have no clue what to do with them.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Chris M.

Do not be fooled by its apparent simplicity young tribal defender. This first weapon we offer you on this, the day of passage into adulthood, is the symbol of our clan whose roots go back to the great Beowulf who used his to slaughter a Dragon! Blessed by our priest, it shall remain a loyal companion for the rest of your days and beyond. I still see the doubt in your face young one, but all warriors of this village, who have since earned their swords, have jealously kept their Scramasax like a secret love. You'll do the same, of this I swear.
Initially inspired by Anglo-Germanic dagger designs from the 5th to 8th centuries, Scramasax has been sculpted to recreate the historic likelihood of these broad single-edged blades. In spite of its sharp point, the blade of this weapon has been extensively tested for its flexibility (see picture). Short and fast, Scramasax is an excellent choice when used in combination with a longsword for those ambidextrous fighters who do not want to burden themselves with a shield.
An historical weapon of the North-European people, Scramasax is ideal for Celtic and Scandinavian-inspired characters. It is the type of weapon preferred by rogues and assassin who prefer efficiency when doing their dirty work. It is also the weapon of choice for mages who like to hack their small problems into smaller solutions. Warriors and Men at Arms will also want to bring one along as a great, easily worn secondary weapon.

Hyponatremia (American English) or hyponatraemia (English English) is an electrolyte disturbance in which the sodium ion concentration in the plasma is lower than normal. Sodium is the dominant extracellular cation (positive ion) and cannot freely cross from the interstitial space into the cell, because charged sodium ions attract up to 25 water molecules around them, creating a large polar structure that is too large to pass through the cell membrane. Its homeostasis (stability of concentration) inside the cell is vital to the normal function of any cell. Normal serum sodium levels are between approximately 135 and 145 mEq/L (135 - 145 mmol/L). Hyponatremia is generally defined as a serum level of less than 135 mEq/L and is considered severe when the serum level is below 125 mEq/L.[1][2]
Many conditions including congestive heart failure, liver failure, kidney failure and pneumonia can have an associated hyponatremia. It can also be caused by overhydration from drinking too much water (polydipsia).
In the vast majority of cases, hyponatremia occurs as a result of a proportional excess of water relative to the plasma sodium (salt level in the blood).[3] Lack of sodium (salt) alone is very rarely the cause of hyponatremia, although it can promote hyponatremia indirectly. In particular, sodium loss can lead to a state of volume depletion (loss of blood volume in the body), with volume depletion serving as a signal for the release of ADH (anti-diuretic hormone). As a result of ADH-stimulated water retention (too much water in the body), blood sodium becomes diluted and hyponatremia results.
Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH), however, is common at marathons and other endurance events.[4] Researchers found, for instance, that 13% of the athletes who finished the 2002 Boston Marathon were in a clinically hyponatremic condition, i.e. their salt levels in their blood had fallen below an acceptable level. Tim Noakes' 2012 book "Waterlogged" addresses this phenomenon clearly.
Symptoms of hyponatremia include nausea and vomiting, headache, confusion, lethargy, fatigue, loss of appetite, restlessness and irritability, muscle weakness, spasms, or cramps, seizures, and decreased consciousness or coma. The presence and severity of symptoms are associated with the level of plasma sodium (salt level in the blood), with the lowest levels of plasma sodium associated with the more prominent and serious symptoms (the less the salt the more severe the symptoms). However, emerging data suggest that mild hyponatremia (plasma sodium levels at 131 mEq/L or above) is associated with numerous complications or subtle, presently unrecognized symptoms[5] (e.g., increased falls, altered posture and gait, reduced attention).[6]
Neurological (brain) symptoms typically occur with very low levels of plasma sodium (usually <115 mEq/L). When sodium levels in the blood become excessively low, excess water enters the brain cells and the cells swell. This is called hyponatremic encephalopathy. This is very dangerous because the soft brain is confined by the rigid skull. As the brain expands tentorial herniation can occur which is a squeezing of the brain across the internal structures of the skull.
This can lead to headache, nausea, vomiting and confusion, seizures, brain stem compression and respiratory arrest (stopping breathing), and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs).[7] This can be fatal if not treated promptly.
The severity of symptoms depends on how fast and how severe the drop in blood salt level. A gradual drop, even to very low levels, may be tolerated well if it occurs over several days or weeks, because of neuronal adaptation. The presence of underlying neurological disease, like a seizure disorder, or non-neurological metabolic abnormalities, also affects the severity of neurologic symptoms.
Based on the above classification, some of the many specific causes of hyponatremia can be listed as follows:
Hypervolemic hyponatremia — Both sodium & water content increase: Increase in sodium content leads to hypervolemia and water content to hyponatremia. Total body water and sodium are regulated independently[8]
Euvolemic hyponatremia — total body water increases, but the body's sodium content stays the same[8]
Hypovolemic hyponatremia — The hypovolemia (extracellular volume loss) is consequent on total body sodium loss but, overall, total body water is decreased and is the aetiology of the hyponatremia[8]
Miscellaneous causes of hyponatremia that are not included under the above classification scheme include:
Examination includes taking vital signs when lying, sitting, and standing, and an assessment of how much blood is in the body. This determination (i.e. hypervolemic, euvolemic, hypovolemic) helps guide treatment decisions. A full assessment of other medical conditions (comorbidity) is also taken, because heart and brain conditions affect the results and the treatment decisions.
The hyponatremia can be spurious (false) and/or artifactual hyponatremia in which case there is no hypotonicity. Hypertonic hyponatremia, caused by resorption of water drawn by molecules such as glucose (hyperglycemia or diabetes) or mannitol (hypertonic infusion). Isotonic hyponatremia, more commonly called "pseudohyponatremia," is caused by measurement error due to hypertriglyceridemia (most common) or paraproteinemia. It occurs when using techniques that measure the amount of sodium in a specified volume of serum/plasma, or that dilute the sample before analysis.[9]
True hyponatremia is Hypotonic hyponatremia and is by far the most common type, and is often simply referred to as "hyponatremia." Hypotonic hyponatremia is categorized in 3 ways based on the patient's blood volume status. Each category represents a different underlying reason for the increase in ADH that led to the water retention and thence hyponatremia:
The volemic classification fails to include spurious (fake) and/or artifactual hyponatremia, which is addressed in the osmolar classification. This includes hyponatremia that occurs in the presence of massive hypertriglyceridemia, severe hyperglycemia, and extreme elevation of immunoglobulin levels.
In chronic hyponatremia, sodium (salt) levels drop gradually over several days or weeks and symptoms and complications are typically moderate. Chronic hyponatremia is often called asymptomatic hyponatremia in clinical settings because it is thought to have no symptoms; however, emerging data suggests that "asymptomatic" hyponatremia is not actually asymptomatic.[5]
In acute hyponatremia sodium (salt) levels drop rapidly, resulting in potentially dangerous effects, such as rapid brain swelling, which can result in coma and death.
The treatment of hyponatremia depends on the underlying cause and whether the patient's blood volume status is hypervolemic, euvolemic, or hypovolemic. In the setting of hypovolemia, intravenous administration of normal saline (salt) is usual, careful care taken not to raise the serum sodium level (salt level in the blood) too quickly (see below). Euvolemic hyponatremia is usually managed by fluid restriction and treatment to abolish any stimuli for ADH secretion such as nausea. Likewise, drugs causing SIADH are discontinued if possible. Patients with euvolemic hyponatremia that persists despite those measures may be candidates for a so-called vaptan drug as discussed below. Hypervolemic hyponatremia is usually treated by addressing the underlying heart or liver failure. If it is not be possible to do so, the treatment becomes the same as that for euvolemic hyponatremia (i.e. fluid restriction and/or use of a vaptan drug).
Hyponatremia is corrected slowly in order to lessen the chance of the development of central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), a severe neurological disease involving a breakdown of the myelin sheaths covering parts of nerve cells. In fact, overly rapid correction of hyponatremia is the most common cause of that potentially devastating disorder.[10] During treatment of hyponatremia, the serum sodium (salt level in the blood) is not allowed to rise by more than 8 mmol/l over 24 hours (i.e. 0.33 mmol/l/h rate of rise). In practice, too rapid correction of hyponatremia and thence CPM is most likely to occur during the treatment of hypovolemic hyponatremia. In particular, once the hypovolemic state has been corrected, the signal for ADH release disappears. At that point, there will be an abrupt water diuresis (an increase in urination since there is no longer any ADH acting to retain the water). A rapid and profound rise in serum sodium (salt level in the blood) can then occur. Should the rate of rise of serum sodium exceed 0.33 mmol/l/h over several hours, vasopressin may be administered to prevent ongoing rapid water diuresis (excessive urination).[11]
Pharmaceutically, vasopressin receptor antagonists can be used in the treatment of hyponatremia, especially in patients with SIADH, congestive heart failure or liver cirrhosis. A vasopressin receptor antagonist is an agent that interferes with the action at the vasopressin receptors. A new class of medication, the "vaptan" drugs has been specifically developed to inhibit the action of vasopressin on its receptors (V1A, V1B, and V2). These receptors have a variety of functions, with the V1A and V2 receptors are expressed peripherally and involved in the modulation of blood pressure and kidney function respectively, while the V1A and V1B receptors are expressed in the central nervous system. V1A is expressed in many regions of the brain, and has been linked to a variety of social behaviors in humans and animals.
The "vaptan" class of drugs contains a number of compounds with varying selectivity, several of which are either already in clinical use or in clinical trials as of 2010.
Unselective (mixed V1A, V2)
V1A selective
V1B selective
V2 selective
The V2-receptor antagonists tolvaptan and conivaptan allow excretion of electrolyte free water and are effective in increasing serum sodium in euvolemic and hypervolemic hyponatremia.[12]
Chronic hyponatremia can lead to such complications as neurological impairments. These neurological impairments most often affect gait (walking) and attention, and can lead to falls, osteoporosis, and decreased reaction time.
Complications for chronic hyponatremia are most dangerous for geriatric patients. Falls are the leading cause of deaths related to injury among people 65 years or older. In a recent study[13] the incidence of hyponatremia in elderly patients with large-bone fractures was more than double that of non-fracture patients. Recent work by Verbalis et al.[14] suggests that hyponatremia induces osteoporosis and found the adjusted odds ratio for developing osteoporosis to be 2.87 times higher among adults with mild hyponatremia compared to those without.
Acute hyponatremia can lead to much more serious complications including brain disease, brain herniation, cardiopulmonary arrest, cerebral edema (brain swelling), seizures, coma, and death.
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder. Electrolytes are sodium (salt), potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, hydrogen phosphate, and hydrogen carbonate. The disorder is more frequent in females, the elderly, and in patients who are hospitalized. The incidence of hyponatremia depends largely on the patient population. A hospital incidence of 15–20% is common, while only 3–5% of patients who are hospitalized have a serum sodium level (salt blood level) of less than 130 mEq/L. Hyponatremia has been reported in up to 30% of elderly patients in nursing homes and is also present in approximately 30% of depressed patients on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.[5]

A brief note about friends
I'm not talking about the 'friends' you have on Facebook. You know, the ones you've never met but still somehow value their 'likes'.
I've had a lot of friends over the years. Lucky to say a couple of them are still around from elementary school (I'm now in my 30's.)
It's hard to say how one keeps friends. I mean, real friends. The kind that will not only be around when things are going well, but will get in your face to keep you from screwing up, and will stick around when you do screw up.
The ones that make fun of you because they know exactly how to make fun of you. But will still prop you up when you need it.
It's just something that clicks. You understand your friends. Your point of view is similar, even if you're really nothing alike.
I recently (in the last few years) lost a couple of good friends. No, they didn't pass away. They sort of... disappeared. In one case, I know what happened. Some disagreements that just didn't get resolved. Probably my fault for not trying harder.
But another, well. A real shame. This particular person helped get me through college when I wanted to give it up. Our artistic mash-ups were interesting and fun. Few others have sparked that level of creative synergy (synergy = a catch phrase I hoped never to use, but it describes the collaboration well).
Perhaps this is the way it's supposed to be, some friends are just supposed to come into your life when you need something they have to offer, or you have something to offer them. Or both. It's a transaction of experiences.
Hopefully I can catch up with some friends that have faded into the background, and I hope to meet some new ones that will last into the future.
Until then, I'll take it for what it is, and what it was, and what it can be.

An abortion banning bill introduced in the regular session by Lenar Whitney (R-Houma) has passed the full House. The bill, known as the Prenatal Non-discrimination Act, would ban abortions based on gender in the State of Louisiana. Only two members of the House, both Democrats, voted against legislation that would ban the selective abortion procedure that has been done in overseas countries to females in the womb. For a party that trumps "women's rights", both of these members should be ashamed for not supporting this legislation. They are Helena Moreno of New Orleans and Marcus Hunter of Monroe. Their House web pages are here and here.
The full vote roll call can be found here.

Having a muscle cramp up on you in the middle of a ride can affects your emotions as well. And its hurts. When athletes cramp in a mountain bike race it is most often the large working muscles in the legs that go first. Cramping is a painful experience and always slows you down.
The problem is that nobody knows what really causes cramps. Well for some there are certain dietary things that can help, but to be real there are many different causes of cramps.
The best we can do as athletes is to review all the cramping theories, compare them to our own personal cramping history and cover the preventative scenario we think applies to us in our training and race day plan.
Fatigue Theory
Muscular fatigue is thought to be the most likely cause of muscle cramps. When you push harder or longer than your muscles are used to, the strain can cause cramping.
There are two ways to prevent cramping from fatigue which is pacing and training. Pace yourself during the race to reflect the level at which you've trained.
The point is do not exceed your limit.
Riding harder in a race than you've ridden in training is a recipe for muscle cramps. A good tip is to hold back in the first half of your race to keep your muscles from becoming fatigued early.
Low Electrolyte Theory
Muscle cramps are brought on by loss of sodium, chloride, calcium, potassium or magnesium in sweat during exercise. This is the oldest cramping theory, and recent evidence suggests it's also the most unlikely cause of muscle cramping. However, as athletes it's an easy one to fix during a race.
Before the race, add extra salt to your meals to top-up sodium levels. During the race, supplement with a solution like Elete or use Endurolyte capsules to replace electrolytes lost in sweat.
Hyper-hydration Theory
Hyper-hydration is linked to the low electrolyte theory. Drinking too much will dilute the sodium concentration in the blood.
Just drink the right amount of liquid and not too much. Drink only when you are thirsty.
Personal Susceptibility
Some people are simply more susceptible to muscle cramps than others. There's evidence too that susceptibility increases with age.
Regular stretching may help reduce the incidence of cramping. If you have frequent muscle cramps, you should stretch regularly. If you have a pill or tonic that prevents muscle cramps, keep taking it. The placebo effect might be working nicely for you.
If your muscle cramps become too intense to keep the pedals moving, stop and stretch the affected muscle.

Population density is the number of people living in a particular amount of space, such as a square mile or square kilometer. It is determined by dividing the population of an area by its land area.
Population density can apply to any size area, from a building to a nation. If an area is densely populated, that means a larger number of people live in a smaller amount of space. If an area is sparsely populated, however, a smaller number of people live in a larger land area. Though population density often refers to people, it can also refer to animals or any living organisms residing in a particular space.

We all might use several tips or methods for keeping the homely house clean. We asked the best house cleaning services a few of their cleaning strategies. She provided up some spring cleansing tips that cover from the microwave and dog hair to de-gunking your iron and deodorizing plastic material food containers.
This right time of year has me attempting to open all of the windows, organize everything and clean every surface until it glistens. I really like the new feeling spring brings! I'm sharing some of the ways I take it into our home today.
Cleaning dish sponges
That yucky is known by you smell your dish sponges get after a few years? I used to toss mine in the dishwasher to get gone that stink occasionally, nonetheless it didn't always function. I found this suggestion and it's stored me from throwing them out normally.
Make sure to obtain the sponge wet and good, then and stick it on a papers towel within the microwave (in the event you can find any plastics inside it that could melt). Also, be sure to include a microwave-secure container with some drinking water inside, as this can help keep carefully the emitter working properly.
Heating system it the sponge for just one minute eliminates the majority of the bacteria plus two minutes gets almost all of it. Also it arrives out smelling as effective as new! (You need to be cautious because it will undoubtedly be hot for some minutes.)
Streak-free floor cleaner
We have hardwood flooring throughout our home, and I absolutely like them. But I struggled for months after they were had by us installed to find a ground cleaner that cleaned without streaking. I could never look for a mop pad that cleaned well either really.
The Bona was discovered by me Hardwood Ground Cleaner, in fact it is my favorite-especially when paired with the Bona floor mop now. Collectively they make my flooring spotless-and there's not just a streak in sight!
Easy drain cleaner
For a long time I used caustic chemical substances to eliminate clogs inside our drains; It was thought by me was the only option. When I came across this small device and utilized it for the very first time I was hooked.
The Zip-It drain cleaner is a very long plastic piece that you work into your drain and pull up. The materials clogging the drain arises with it and it's not often a pretty sight. It works every right time and only requires a few seconds to accomplish one drain. And I really like that I don't need to be worried about chemicals around our creatures and child.
Warning: despite the fact that it's hard to check out what happens of the drain it could get yourself a little addicting. You might just set you back each drain merely to see what happens of it.

With four animals inside our house, I'm always searching for an easy way to completely clean up your pet hair. I'll utilize the sticky rollers often, but find they don't get everything usually. When I came across this technique I was skeptical nonetheless it increases results than anything I've tried!
All you need is really a rubber dishwashing glove. You'll need to get it slightly wet and just rub your give the furniture. The pet tresses will clump together and could be easily removed. I like that I could cover so very much surface with my hand, of a small roller instead.

Grab the dryer so far as the vent pipe allows. Disconnect the vent pipe from the dryer, and clean the outlet hole in the relative back of the dryer with a store vac or regular vacuum cleaner.
Clear the vent pipe with a dryer snake cleansing tool. It is a rotary brush mounted on an extended cable. One finish is suited to the chuck of a power drill that is utilized to rotate the cable and the brush.
- Unscrew the surface dryer vent cover
- Feed the rotary brush in to the vent opening, switching it on reduced speed
- Feed the cable in to the vent so far as it will go, then pull it back again - don't cease rotating the brush and cable
- Do it again from the inside
- Reconnect the vent, and start the dryer to flush the operational system of loose lint
- Replace the surface vent cover
Don't utilize this tool about the versatile vent pipe sometimes utilized for connecting the dryer to the vent walls outlet. Instead, take away the flexible pipe totally and use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow nozzle to completely clean out the pipe.
You're likely to be shut in every winter with these small germ havens, thus now's a great time to completely clean them thoroughly. Get them outside where one can blast the insides with a hose, then add disinfectant.
Disinfect and clean Toilet Brush Holders

1 component bleach to 6 components water
2 to 3 glasses of green washing soda crystals
A 50/50 combination of vinegar and water
Let everything sit down in the solution for two hours, then rinse the brush and holder with a hose and invest sunlight to dry.
Clean the Tops side, Trim, and Artwork
Countertops and tables aren't the only real household products with horizontal surfaces.

Expert cleaners share their tips for getting cleaning chores completed fast and efficiently.
Expert cleaners have the various tools, the talent and the know-how to create short work of cleaning a homely house. The best house cleaning services in Medway reveals the tips for speed-cleansing and organizing your house.
Create a Schedule and Stay with it
Set a specific time to obtain your chores done aside. Saturday when nothing at all else is happening nobody hires a cleaning service that promises to reach some random. Have a tip from the professionals and arranged up a normal cleaning schedule. Pros don't quit before working job is done. Schedule the working work and stay with it to obtain the work done in report time.
Find a Motivator
Using motivators to avoid mind and distraction off boredom. Play your preferred upbeat music. Pay attention to a guide on tape therefore you'll feel like you're accomplishing two jobs at once.
Dress for Success
Professional cleaners clothe themselves in comfy, washable clothing created for work. Supportive kneepads and shoes spare their bodies. Gloves and goggles drive back chemicals. Get rid of the bleach-stained sweatshirts, and develop a cleaning uniform which includes shoes, eye and gloves protection.
Spend money on Proper Tools
Expert cleaners don't use gadgets. You'll never see them toting specialised one-time-use equipment or the most recent gimmick hawked on a Television infomercial. Buy good equipment - once - and utilize them, and you'll become finished in report time.
Simplify Supplies
There's a reason the professionals can tote all of the products they need in a single tray. They've simplified their cleansing products right down to four basic supplies:
Light-duty evaporating cleaner (cup cleaner or multi-surface area cleaner)
Heavy-duty degreasing cleaner
Bathroom and tile cleaner
Powdered abrasive cleanser
That's it! No soap scum remover, no unique counter spray, no single-use products made to clean only fans or blinds or wall space. The professionals understand that with one of these four simple items they'll have the ability to handle any regular cleaning chore.
Tote Your Tools
For efficiency sake, expert cleaners tote almost all their tools with them. Almost all their tools - cleansers, rags and brushes - are there in the tote tray. Vacuum cleaner, mop and mini-vac wait around in the doorway. A plastic material bag for trash will be tucked right into a pocket, close to the waving lamb's wool duster. That's why the pro offers finished the entire bathing room before our amateur helps it be back upward the stairs with the powdered cleanser.
Minimize Movement
Professional cleaners don't circle an area more than once. Taking their place prior to the bathing room sink, they'll spray and clean the mirror, scrub the sink, wipe down counters and polish fittings before they move one inch to the left or right.
Two Hands Are Much Better Than One
The pros don't are if one arm is in a sling and neither in the event you. Enter the routine of using both of your hands to attack cleaning jobs.
Spray the mirror with one hands; clean it down with another. Scrub counters with two sponges or cleansing cloths. Dusting goes doubly fast whenever a lamb's wool duster in a single hands cleans nooks and crannies as the cleaning fabric in another skims flat surfaces.
Pick and choose It Up Before You Clean
Professional cleaners arrived at clean, never to tidy counters, furniture, floors and appliances. They can't get the job done if each horizontal surface area in the house is protected with papers, toys, dirty dishes and plain clutter just. Pretend that you've employed a high-priced cleansing crew. You wouldn't make sure they are relocate the clutter merely to have the ability to do their work. Give yourself exactly the same mind start - grab before you clean.
Two people create a bed four occasions faster than one. Several can make short function of the average home. Make cleaning a combined group effort. Family members tend to be more reluctant to screw up a clean home if they have been section of the cleaning effort!

Fall may be the perfect period to look after the little items that can make an impact for you as well as your home. The majority of the tasks provided by home cleaning service are well with-in the common person's ability. But if you choose to have a specialist handle them even, it's worth the trouble. You'll cut costs - and perhaps even your life.
Get your mind inside the gutters. Inspect and clear gutters and down spouts.
Switch up your overcoat. Seal cracks and gaps around doors and windows with weather-stripping and caulk.
Get along with roof problems. Inspect your roofing for curled or broken shingles, corroded flashing, or leaky vents.
Walks the walks (and drives). Do something to repair broken sidewalks, driveways, and steps.
Chill out. Drain and winterize outdoor irrigation and faucets systems.
Freshen your filter. Clear or replace unclean furnace filters.
Provide your furnace a new physical. Have a specialist inspect your heat.
Gather across the hearth. Check fireplaces for creosote or soot build-up. Better yet, routine a visit from the reputable chimney sweep.
Preserve the humidifier humming. Clean the plates or pads to make sure efficient operation.
Head-off gas problems. In case you have a gas-fired space heater, own it inspected by way of a pro. Furthermore, perform any routine servicing suggested by the maker.
Keep the solid wood fires burning up brightly. Solid wood stoves are creating a comeback. In order to avoid a deadly scenario, be sure to examine yours before firing it up.
Get your brain in the gutters. Your roof's drainage system yearly diverts a large number of gallons of drinking water from your own house's exterior and basis walls. That is why it is therefore important to keep this technique flowing efficiently. Clogged gutters can result in damaged exterior surfaces also to drinking water in your basement. They are more susceptible to rust and corrosion also. Before this fall is flown by the results in, possess your gutters cleaned, covered with mesh guards to help keep debris from returning then.
Switch up your overcoat. A house with air leakages around doors and windows is like a coating left unbuttoned. Gaps in caulk and weather-stripping can take into account a 10% of one's heating bills, based on the U.S. Division of Energy.
Weather-stripping is easily probably the most cost-effective solution to rein in cooling and heating costs. This humble material furthermore reduces drafts and maintains your house more comfortable year-round. Because climate stripping can deteriorate as time passes, it is very important periodically inspect it.
If you suspect an issue with climate stripping, you have several choices for checking. Close a hinged door or window on the strip of paper; if the papers slides very easily, your weather stripping isn't performing its job. Or, close the entranceway or window and keep a lighted candle close to the frame. (Don't allow the flame obtain near anything flammable!) If the flame flickers at any place along the frame, you have an fresh air leak.
As long as you're at it, look for missing or damaged caulk around windows also, doors, and entry factors for electrical, cable, cell phone, gas, therefore. Seal any gaps with the right caulk.
Stroll the walks (and drives). Broken walkways, drives, and actions round are a hazard year, but their risks are compounded once the climate turns icy. Fixing issues in the fall is critical to preventing little issues from becoming expensive headaches also.
Look for cracks a lot more than 1/8-in . wide, uneven sections, and loose railings on actions. Look for disintegration of asphalt, or washed-out components on loose-fill paths.
Most little jobs are nicely within the power of a do-it-yourselver, but save main repairs for skilled hands.
Give your furnace the physical. Once a full year, it's wise to have your heat inspected by way of a professional. In order to avoid the last-minute hurry, consider scheduling this in early fall, prior to the heating season begins.
Right here are signs that you need to have an inspection performed sooner:
Noisy belts. Unusual screeches or whines can be a signal that belts linked to the blower engine are worn or broken.
Poor performance. A heat that doesn't appear to work as nicely since it once did is actually a sign of various issues. Your heating ducts may be blocked, the burners may be misadjusted, or the blower engine could possibly be on its final legs. One check out you need to be sure to carry out: Ensure that your furnace filter will be clean.
Erratic behaviour. This may be the effect of a faulty thermostat or perhaps a misadjusted furnace.
Gather across the hearth. Even though you occasionally make use of your fireplace only, you need to check it yearly for harm and hazards.
Inspect your flue with regard to creosote. Creosote is really a flammable by-item of burning solid wood. If it accumulates in a chimney or flue, the total result could be a devastating fire. Have your chimney inspected yearly for creosote build-up. If you are using a fireplace or solid wood stove frequently, possess the flue inspected after every cord of solid wood burned.
For most people, your best option is to have your complete chimney program inspected by way of a chimney sweep. Knowing what to search for, it is possible to perform the examination by shining a brilliant torch up the flue, searching for any deposits approaching 1/8 inch solid. These deposits ought to be cleaned by a skilled chimney sweep.
Search for flue blockages. Birds want to nest near the top of an unprotected flue. A chimney cap can avoid this from happening. Unless you have a cap, research the flu to make sure that you can find no obstructions.
Workout the damper. The damper may be the metallic plate that opens and closes the flu right above the firebox. Move it to the open up and closed positions to make sure that it really is working properly.
Check your chimney with regard to damage. Make sure the flue cap (the screen or baffle within the surface of the chimney) will be in place. Inspect brick chimneys for broken or loose joints. If access is really a problem, use binoculars.
Keep carefully the humidifier humming. You might understand that bone dry winter season air is harmful to your health, but did additionally you know it could make fine wood even more prone to cracking? You and your house will feel convenient in the event that you keep your main humidifier in tip-top form during the months it really is running.
Here's how: Initial, inspect the pads or plates, and if necessary, clear them in a solid laundry detergent solution. Wash and scrape off calcium deposits with a wire metal or brush wool.
Common cleanup. Rid your house of accumulations of aged newspapers and leftover dangerous household chemicals. (Consult with your condition or local Environmental Safety Agency about the most convenient way to discard harmful chemicals.) Store flammable components and poisons in authorized, labeled containers clearly. Keep a clear area around heaters, furnaces, along with other heat-producing appliances.

If you happen to have missed the last couple editions of KCSBeat, Colin Marshall's Santa Barbara Independent column on all things KCSB, the day they went up on the front page of Independent.com, never fear: they remain available in the complete KCSBeat archive. First, there's a continuation of the story of, Poodle Radio, the Indy's new live morning show on KCSB:
My goal with live listenability isn't just to deliver the slightly more exciting experience to you of hearing me and my guests yammer at the very same moment we're actually yammering. That's certainly part of it, but my more interesting vision is to cultivate a culture of listener participation. While it's a pleasure being lent your Poodle Radio-listening ears, it would be even better to get your voices in on the game as well. KCSB's programs run across the spectrum where this is concerned: Some are one-way transmissions to their audience, and others are two-way interactions with them. We'd like to grow into the latter.
Then, there's a look at and a listen to Conceptual Radio one of the many unscripted, unpredictable, utterly free-form shows that pop up on KCSB when one DJ subs for another:
The most interesting possible listening experience, to my mind, is when you're geared up to hear one show but then hear something almost entirely different, a program far away on an axis of radio entertainment you might not have even known existed. The interaction of a specific set of expectations with an unexpected piece of culture that's completely skewed from them gives rise to some of the richest moments in the modern history of performer-audience exchange. Ponder, for a moment, the potential mind-blowingness of the Nonstop Dixieland Rarities mindset suddenly receiving the Mechanical Drone Hour sensibility. (Neither show is real, though I now wish both were.) This is why I do Conceptual Radio. Conceptual Radio isn't a show on the KCSB schedule, nor has it ever been. By its very nature, it can't be: It's a project that must exist only irregularly, only ephemerally.
