Slowly but surely, more fall vibes!
1. Grease
2. Bye Bye Birdie
I watched this ALL THE TIME when I was little and I took a break for years and when I rewatched a couple weeks ago all the lines were still popping into my head as they said them. When I have kids I am going to show them Bye Bye Birdie all the time so I can make them perform it for me whenever I damn well please! It'll be like a talking and breathing Netflix Instant, whose poop I have to clean up. Actually, that sounds way less fun that actual Netflix Instant. I'm going to raise my children in a vacuum so they never talk, ever.
Spencer's mom once told me during one of our showtunes singing sessions that they filmed the closing one like a year after the first, which is why Ann-Margaret's voice is so much less whiny, and that the director had to make it on his own money because the producers didn't think it was a good idea, then once he showed it to them they were like OMG you're so right here's the money you spent on this! And then Janet Leigh was SO PISSED because in the stage version Rosie is the star, not Kim. ZOMG hot gossip from 50 years ago!!!!!!
The whole movie is pretty and weird, but the Telephone Hour is the BEST. Kim MacAfee and Hugo Peabody get pinned and all of a sudden Sweet Apple, Ohio is like, a HUGE CITY full of HOT GOSSIP FROM 50 YEARS AGO.
Plus I love how obviously like, 25 Ann-Margaret is in this, while Ursula plays the twerpy little 16 year old she really is. This song was so misleading.
5. Female Trouble
8. Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills
9. Hunx and his Punx
10. "Our Deal"
Best Coast is normally reserved for summer, but this video fits fall. For some reason the video buffers weird and I have not the patience for weird buffering, nor do I feel indifference towards carpal tunnel, so I didn't screencap it. You just have to WATCH it instead. Life is hard, kids! Welcome to the real world!
(Chloe Moretz would be the perfect best friend because she would totally kick the ass of anyone who is annoying you or, I don't know, killing your other friend in a gang fight.)
Lastly, do you like candy? Do you like Parks and Recreation? Amy Poehler? Aubrey Plaza? Rashida Jones? Chris Pratt's breathing? Because they made us a really sweet video at Rookie. It is here! Also, I wrote my editor's letter for October, styled a shoot of angsty yearbook photos, wrote about first encounters with the male gaze, and, under my pseudonym Chill McChillson, tips on middle skool d@t!ng.

If you look around, you will easily find plastics in your kitchenware, disposable bottles, toys, television casing, and more. Plastics can make your life easier, but some think they could also be making us ill. Right now the answer is unclear, but some precautions can be taken.
The Role of BPA
Certain plastics are made with a chemical called bisphenol A (BPA). The chemical helps plastic, particularly polycarbonate plastics, be lightweight but tough and able to withstand high heat and have electrical resistance. These types of plastics may be used in baby bottles, hard water bottles, compact discs, dental sealants, and food containers. BPA is also used in epoxy resin, which is used as a protective liner in canned foods. Because of its widespread use, many have begun to question if BPA exposure is safe.
Some animal studies have shown that BPA may have a hormone-like effect in the body. BPA exposure in pregnant animals was found to have some negative effects on fetuses. Babies born to these animals also developed problems after exposure to BPA. In particular, changes occurred in:
- Thyroid function
- Brain growth
- Behavioral development
- Development of the pituitary gland
It is not clear if BPA exposure would cause the same changes in humans or if humans could consume as much BPA as the lab animals were exposed to.
BPA in the Body
We come into contact with plastics all around us, but for the most part, we take in BPA through our diets. It seeps into our food or drinks from certain plastic containers and the epoxy resins that line cans. The amount of seepage may vary, depending on the age and condition of the container. Heat is also believed to increase the amount of seepage. Young children may also be exposed when they place BPA materials in their mouths, like certain plastic toys. BPA may also be passed along to the baby during pregnancy or through breastmilk.
The level of BPA exposure, or the amount that transferred from the plastic into the body, was examined during a 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Survey by the Center of Disease Control (CDC). The results, released in 2007, showed that 93% of urine samples, from people all over the United States aged 6 years and older, showed the presence of BPA. Women had some of the higher levels, and children had the highest levels. Since the animal studies showed problems with fetuses and newborns, the higher exposure levels in children and women caused some concern. It became more urgent to understand the effect of BPA on human health and just how it gets into our bodies.
Some Concern
In 2009, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) expressed a level of "some concern" over negative effects of BPA in unborn babies, infants, and children. "Some concern" means that in a review of current evidence, the NTP found that it is unclear if the negative effects seen in animal experiments would be seen in humans, but it cannot be dismissed. This concern will encourage further research to look for connections between BPA exposure and developmental problems.
Some countries have taken big steps to address BPA exposure. Canada has banned BPA in the production of baby bottles, while the European Union and Japan have declared that there is not enough information to institute new changes. In 2008 after conducting a review, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found food-related materials containing BPA to be safe, but they are continuing to investigate. The FDA is encouraging that makers of baby bottles and feeding cups not use BPA until more information is known. In the meantime, precautions can still be taken.
Know that BPA can be delivered through:
- Clear or colored containers or bottles with the recycling number 3 or 7 and the letters PC—polycarbonate plastic
- Canned foods
- Liquid infant formula in canned containers—powdered formula in cans does not appear to have detectable levels of BPA
Reduce exposure of BPA for infants up to 2 years of age by:
- Avoiding the use of containers that have BPA for storage or delivery of infant formula and breast milk
- Reducing BPA exposure in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
To decrease levels of exposure, consider the following:
- When possible, choose glass or stainless steel containers; they do not contain BPA.
- If you have plastics with the recycling number 3 or 7, avoid heating the plastic by:
- Avoid putting them in microwaves or in hot water on the stove, especially when preparing infant formula.
- Do not put boiling water or hot foods in them.
- Avoid using the dishwasher—wash by hand with soap and warm water.
- Replace worn, old, or scratched PC plastic containers.
- Women that are pregnant or breastfeeding should choose fresh or frozen foods over canned foods to reduce exposure to BPA.
Some liquid infant formulas are distributed in cans, but do not change your infant formula without discussing it with your infant's doctor. Specialized formulas are known to be important to infant development and growth and should not be sacrificed for uncertain connections between BPA and developmental issues.
Taking It Home
Research also continues to determine if there are any connections between BPA exposure and health problems, including developmental problems in infants and children. So far, the evidence does not suggest a plastic purge of your home. If you are concerned, you can follow the suggestions above to decrease BPA exposure levels. Many companies have already changed production of baby bottles and plastic toys to avoid the use of BPA and will advertise BPA-free on their products. So while you may make different decisions when buying new items or heating up food, the evidence has yet to support a ban against plastic.

Infrared Thermography
A version of this article appears in the May/June 2010 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
May 03, 2010
An expert explains how to get high quality and helpful thermographs when conditions are not ideal.
The sun on the exterior is deadly—and instantly so! The dark body color of this house absorbs the sun's energy readily while the lighter color trim does less so. (Image credit: ©2010 The Snell Group) I find that most building thermographers who have basic training—and qualifying experience—get good results most of the time. They tend to get less-than-stellar results when conditions are marginal or when the building has some challenging features. Less-than-fully-qualified thermographers will quickly experience frustration with the technology. Since the cameras are so easy to use, it seems as though finding problems in buildings must be easy also. With a few successes under their belts, they soon find out it ain't always easy! Problems usually fall into one of three buckets: inadequate inspection conditions, unskilled use of the imaging system, and misinterpretation of the image. Conditions for the Inspection If you understand what is necessary to do a good inspection, you can choose the right time and circumstances for the inspection and proceed with confidence that you will many, if not all, problems in the building you are examining. Without this basic knowledge and experience, however, you ...

Former MLB legend likes Obama, wants Romney as VP
- Jackson wants to see Democrats and Republicans working togather
- Jackson is hosting his 8th All-Star Celebrity classic in Las Vegas this weekend
- Jackson is raising monies for minority students, opening doors for them in the technology world
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. -- Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson was elated with the re-election of President Obama on Tuesday, but if he had his way, Mitt Romney would be part of the administration, too.
"Just because President Obama is back in power is not as important as all of us pulling together, ''Jackson told USA TODAY Sports. "The best would be for Obama to be president and Romney to be vice-president. We need everyone to come together.
"I get so disappointed when I hear all of the negativity from Republicans against the Democrats and Democrats against Republicans. We need to come together as a nation. Black. White. Hispanics. Jewish. Native Americans.
"We need to have the resolve to work together. It's like when the Yankees have a great team, it helps baseball. When the Knicks and Lakers are great teams, it helps basketball. If the Republicans and Democrats can get together, it will make our country a strong, better place, for everyone.''
Jackson is trying to do his part by hosting his 8th All-Star Celebrity classic in Las Vegas this weekend to raise monies for underprivileged minority students, opening doors in the technology world with his Mr. October Foundation.
"We're trying to help children get to the mainstream of what's going on in the world,'' Jackson said, "and that's technology. The world is moving toward technology. That's where the jobs are.
"When you see some of the top technology companies, you see so few people of color. They are not African American and Latins. They are Indians and Asians. The African-American and Latin-American population makes up 30% of our national population, but only 9% of those people are college educated with jobs in America, and we have only 6% of African-Americans and Latin-Americans in the world of technology.
"We're just not involved, so I'm trying to change that.''
Jackson's foundation funds the calculus program at Eastside College Preparatory in Palo Alto, Calif., and provided five scholarships of $17,000 apiece to the Georgia Tech summer internship program.
"By the year 2018,'' Jackson says, "there will be 1 million job opportunities in the world of technology, but 300,000 of those jobs will go to corporate people outside the U.S.
"We've got to stay competitive, and the only way to get past that is through education and create awareness in the African American and Hispanic American community. We want to mentor and transition studies in their careers. We want to enable students from all walks of like to define their future, and follow their passion.''

I adore this! So beautiful and happy-feeling xx
woww what a beautiful combination.
I love the stripes bridesmaid dress! :) Cute and chic. :)
Love, love, love!!!!
love those b'maid dresses!
The green is fabulous! So happy I stumbled across your blog today... will be back for sure!
omg can someone please tell me where those dresses are from? I NEED them for my wedding! firstname.lastname@example.com
Yes!I also admit that I'm especially guilty of this when I happen upon a beautiful image that is just bursting at the seams with inspiration.
Kaylees Bridal
Can someone tell me where I can find this dress? email@example.com

Stunning combination! Love the fresh feel.

Joyeux anniversaire, chère Carol! You are living your dream, which is the best gift you can ever receive! Well, that and some macarons.ReplyDelete
Joyeuese anniversaire!!! Your birthday is one day after the Sheepfarmer (May 16) EASY to remember. The light of my life was 60 years old yesterday...ReplyDelete
YOU definitely have a book in you :)
Ah, Carol. Happy birthday, and since you are on your way over to my apartment, I'll buy you some macarons for all the well-wishers from the blog. I only think you should do a book if it really lights your fire! I'll be first in line when you do!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous6:42 AM
Carol, joyeux anniversaire! Yes you should write a book! Your blog is amazing--enjoy your posts everyday! Happy you made your move to live in Paris! Check that off your list and next a book! I understand the struggle---as folks have been after me to write a memoir--and also to publish my plays. You will do it!ReplyDelete
Best wishes on your birthday!
Happy birthday! As a Norwegian it is always great when someone knows such a random fact about our country, by the way eating ice cream is totally OK even encouraged on this day back home. (Who cares if it's single digit degrees ;) )ReplyDelete
I would definitely read a book from your pen and brush...
Happy birthday!!! Can´t beleive you´re writing a book about macarons and thinking about stopping. It´s a non-non. Please, continue. I´ll buy one, if not two. From what I can see it´ll be a complete jewel. Have a beautiful day!ReplyDelete
A girl from Argentina
First, Happy Birthday! My lily of the valleys here are just about in bloom, so when I cut the first one, I'll think of you & my other May birthday friends. So, you KNOW I would love to own a book on paper with your art, but that's me: I love books on paper. My thoughts, just my thoughts: You have so much material, what if you simplified simplified? Just a collection of the recent images at the top of many of your posts would work for me, or just a few aspects of the many notes/images/essays you've done. IMHO...Having said that, only you know what will be the best direction...and if you don't ever do a book, that's good too because you have found such a great venue here!ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday!!ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday..and that translation ? Oyoyoy..
You should not be concerned..it said in a way that there is trouble in your home you are both sticking to your guns..That you should give in to make things smooth again..
So..just say to Bear.."Bon..tu as raison.".and Paradise will be found again..
Re the book?
How OFTENAVEIMENTIONEDTOYOUTHATIWILLBUYTHEBOOKANDCANNOTWAIT.
Hope you heard me this time:)
It would be delicious and charming and colorful..
Love your macaron birthday cake..now..make a wish and blow out that candle..
C'est à ton tour de te laisser parler d'amour~
(That is part of Happy Birthday to you..Happy Birthday to you..etc..in French)
Joyeux anniversaire! Love reading your blog every day--so only write a book if it doesn't detract from the blog!ReplyDelete
PS you must please make sure..a lot of your art is in it..Tous les beaux desserts.. magasins..etc:)ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday Carol..I think your blog was my very first Paris blog and it's still the first thing I go to in the morning..so a book would be great but the daily certainty of your beautiful blog is the real treasureReplyDelete
bon weekend!
Haopy Birthday, Carol,ReplyDelete
many many many happy returns and a boatload of macarons always at your fingertips!
I'll buy any book you publish. My dream would be a book with your wonderful sketches, all those pastries, still lives, scenes from Paris. I would love to also read of your witty observations of French idiosyncrasies and about your favorite pastry places.
Happy Birthday, Happy Macaron Birthday, Carol! I'm certainly the last person to say it, as I've procrastinated long enough on mine, too. BUT for all it's worth, GO FOR IT! Macarons by Arrondissement sounds fabulous! That kick can be in the form of a cuppa or glass of something in Paris soon?ReplyDelete
A Very Happy Birthday, Carol! Hope you treat yourself to something wonderful. Your should totally go for it. Do one with images of everything Parisian--sort of just categorizing it all, and sketch your heart out. Then, you can periodically just wax poetic and write here and there about things that strike your fancy along your merry way.ReplyDelete
That way, you can just sketch dogs, and macarons, and flowers, and Tour Eiffels, and coffee cups, and boulangeries, and Metro stops, and shoes, scarves, etc, etc, etc...to your heart's content...and here and there, you can tell us interesting anecdotes as you go along... You're a natural.
I think your book is going to be 'all wet' if you are working on it in the pool..:) JK..I hear that writing is a lonely job so those that need people around it does become harder, but I think you could do it.. like sue said... and we would love it. Happy 39, again :)..I will be 39, again :)in a few days too. Have an extra Macaron for me too. :)ReplyDelete
What a great idea - YOUR book will be wonderful! Just take your time and find your own way - it will come to you bit by bit how you want it to be - it won't be like anyone else's. When you feel at a dead end go another way. We all know you are capable!ReplyDelete
First of all, happiest of birthdays! Your first Parisian one? Terrific!ReplyDelete
Second, love every image in this post because as you probably know by now, I am a macaron 'ho and I'd sell myself for them.
Finally, yes, DO continue ZE BOOK and tell us when all is done. The deadlines are those you set for yourself. We will wait sort of patiently!
First, happy birthday!ReplyDelete
Second, a book or not a book (that IS the question?) ---
I've been both places. A book has prestige, a BIG ego boost for a short while, and then --- unless you're top of the charts --- not a whole lot.
Your friend's book Le Road Trip is wonderful, and Carol's Glorious World of Macarons would also be wonderful. Wonderful artifacts, complete, existent. BUT --- they don't do anything about future creativity. Only daily creation does that. Blogging on the other hand is WILDLY appreciative, little daily boosts of delight. Each one is an encouragement for the next, and so the process continues, and so you live and grow and create more and more.
I guess what I'm saying is that (despite the usual perception) a book is short-run, and a blog is for the long run.
Isn't it nice to be in a situation that's win-win?
Happy Birthday, Ms. Agog!!!!!!ReplyDelete
First, toss the book aside for today and celebrate..ice cream? Patisserie? Bon Bon?....
Enjoy the whole weekend.
...and then...just keep swimming...on that book. It will be scrumptious. Don't forget the pups you meet along the route...do they have macaroon shaped dog treats for Parisienne dogs?xoxo
- Patricia10:47 AM
You already know I want you to write a book; it would be the perfect birthday gift to my sister Carol who is also a May baby. And, of course, I'd buy one for me too!ReplyDelete
I do love your blog and read it every day. And unlike painting; writing is best done in coffee shops and sidewalk cafes ...
I wish you a very Happy Birthday, Carol, and thank you for the daily gifts your blogs present us!ReplyDelete
You've a unique take on life and art and so much energy and talent. I am sure that there are many thousands of folks in various parts of the world who have not yet connected with Paris Breakfasts. A book by you could definitely enrich their appreciation of much life offers.
Perhaps thinking of a series of books is an idea, as well. Biting off more to chew on? I enjoy "riding the bus/metro" with you and all the insights you offer on style, manners, and more. The pastry tour is a natural. There are indeed many existing books about Paris and France, but what you do is unique. Believe it, dear Carol.
- Anonymous10:51 AM
Thinking about Paris and what I would like:ReplyDelete
I like DK books because they have pictures of what is to see
I have a book of great walks of Paris
I have been saving your blogs and articles about where to eat and what to see
So, at least a section of your book could be your version of great walks- "Gastro-Walks"- start someone out in the morning
A great place for breakfast
Then a walk with notes/pictures of what is to see
A mid-morning espresso/tea/croissant
More walking, seeing
The best place for lunch
A museum
A quiet little bistro for dinner
Well, you get my point, people (like me) sometimes like to be led by the hand and pack in as much of the best in a short period as they can.
Just a thought,
Happy Birthday!ReplyDelete
I also often wondered why you haven't published a book. Your watercolour is beautiful and I would love to see your version of illustrated map of secret Paris with a lot of macarons, sweets and people illustrations.
Plus, if you ever want to publish it in Japan, I can translate it too! Japanese girls would love your art.
Dear Carol:ReplyDelete
I hope you´ll have a great day, I know whatever you do today will be full of your charm and your orginality and your joie de vivre. It´s great to celebrate your birthday in the most beautiful and charming city in the world. P A R I S, oh-lala!
Carol, you are a great and intelligent writer, I am sure you will have a great succe3ss if you write a book, no matter if it is about macarrons, pastries or just about tips on Paris.
Oh, yes, I Paris kind of travel guide with tips for travellers.Living in Madrid like me I go to Paris monthly and really belierve, I list the addresses and places you recomment rather than looking the regular travel guides. I really encourage you to write, yoy are a must.
- Anonymous11:08 AM
Carol. I agree that despite the complexities of writing a book, you - of all people - should! Between your wit and artistic flair, your book would be a sensation and we will patiently (ahem) wait for it. I am a devotee! I start every day reading your blog.ReplyDelete

It seems you already having a dozen books created by your blog....ReplyDelete

It is probably just a matter of organizing what you have...well, and a few new things just to
Please yourself.
They would be wonderful....do it!

I am a devotee of your PB blogs and would love for you to come out with a book. From what you are saying, I almost get the feeling that you have not yet gotten a clear premise or vision of what you want to do. Once that clarifies, I am guessing it all might start to happen and come together. Keep us posted!!! Delightful idea. I'd love to have a book you created that had things like your how to pronounce French based on Children's Books (am I remembering that correctly), favorite little museums, discoveries, experiences, Paris and small towns outside of Paris, fashion, food, art, culture, maps, transportation systems. How To Paris. I don't know. I am excited already to see your book! (Everyone but you, eh?) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Wishing you a delightful day and a great year in Paris ahead of you!!!ReplyDelete
PB Hugs, Sandra
Carol, first Happy Birthday!!! Second, DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! I think your talent as an artist and your perspective of all that is Paris is wonderful! In fact I think your publisher should be Chronicle Books, you fit their niche and they have published many blogger books!ReplyDelete
You could do a "sketchbook" of Parisian pets, or perhaps a book on macarons or frankly anything!
You go girl! We are rooting for you!
Enjoy your birthday.

Bon Anniversaire! Vous avez vraiment du courage! Alors, do the book! What are you waiting for? Allons-y!ReplyDelete

I know that I would love to see you do a book. Your blogs take me to Paris when I can't actually be there. I cannot wait to open the iPad each morning. By the way, happy b-day. I'm a Taurus also (may 12) and spent my day in Paris wandering about in the Marais. It's 3pm your time as I write this so have a wonderful dessert and espresso for me! (Wine later!)ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday Carol!ReplyDelete
I am thinking you could write about yourself and how you came to this magical journey. There is much that interests me about what you write, how important it is and some people may not think so. How many macarons can a person look at? That happens with fashion too. There are layers and cultures involved. When it becomes beauty that is what we are looking for.
Of course, you should do as you like. But I would love to see a book. However, sometimes books become cumbersome because one is stuck with/in the original idea & trying to make it work causes trouble. Often, what helps, whether it be a book, a story, a song, a poem, a painting...is starting another one. Put the other aside & see what happens. Or not. Whatever you wish is what you should do.ReplyDelete
And...the happiest of birthdays to you, dear Carol!
Susan & petite Julie
Happy Birthday. Since I just found you I am content, but if a book is in the future, well, that would be a bonus. I love getting little snippets of Paris life.ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday Carol. I'm new to your blog but absolutely love it and would certainly enjoy a book filled with your insights and sketches and beautiful water colors; but, of course, you need to do it in your own time and not be rushed.ReplyDelete
Oh,yes! Do the book! It will be utterly charming! I would love to have a copy! :-)ReplyDelete
Joyeux Anniversaire Carol! Je te souhaite une piece montee de macarons!ReplyDelete
I would love to see you write a book. What I enjoy from your posts are those with your swatches of watercolor paints reflecting the photos and objects about which you blog. Those colors on your brush, palette and paper are exciting to me. Seeing Pairs, the colors of Paris, through your eyes and senses - a wonderful "escape to Paris!"

I just want you to know you bring such a ray of sunshine to me among all the negative thoughts in the news etc., you brighten my day, my mood and my creative process as you inspire me to start journaling! Thank-you for all you are doing and all your amazing discoveries that inspire us to take a look around our own neighborhoods. I will be in Paris in Sept and have already written down many of the places you have mentioned to visit.ReplyDelete
Have a great day,
Grateful reader
Joyeux Anniversaire Carol!ReplyDelete
Now blow the candle and...write the book! I love your blog, the only blog I read everyday but I love books, yes, the real book on paper not "tablet book" so a Carol Gillot book would be a must!!!

Happy Birthday Carol! I used to see you sometimes at WH Smith when you used to come visit Paris instead of living here.ReplyDelete
Your art brings me such joy! Thanks you for sharing it,

Happy Birthday Carol! An extra bonus on NIDay:)ReplyDelete
What I love about your blog is the way you take us ONTO the streets of Paris and investigating WITH you.
A large book is a HUGE commitment. A pocketsized book would seem? to be easier to accomplish. Honey, if you can move to Paris - YOU can do anything. Your artwork is delightful:) I think you should tell everyone you see it is your Birthday today since you are not back here! Have a FUN day!
Happy, happy birthday sweet Carol! Next year, we should celebrate our birthday week at some fab resto in Paris! (My bday is the 14th.)ReplyDelete
I love the book idea and agree it's so different than the immediacy of blogging. Still, it would be fun to have your wonderfully creative work in a hand-held version! x Katie
I know I want to buy your book, so yes, keep at it!!ReplyDelete
Happy birthday, bon anniversaire, buon compleanno from Italy! Je lis toujours ton blog, tes dessins, tes photos you are the best! HelgaReplyDelete

Personnally I love your blog posts, you give us daily doses ofReplyDelete

put away once its done.
Hopefully getting your readers' opinions will "déclencher" a reaction that will help you see what YOU really
want to do, because after all that's what's most important.. well that and income I guess :)
A very happy birthday to you, thanks a lot for your great posts.
Wow, so many great sketches! A great post for us on your birthday :)ReplyDelete
I don't know what to tell you about the book. If you have accumulated lots of material, and put in lots of work on a draft, why not go for it?
Happy Birthday!

We love the daily! We would miss it so much. Perhaps a "Top 10" chocolate, macaron, tea salon ... seasonally would be a fun list?!ReplyDelete
Your daily French fix is addictive. It is live, interesting, entertaining every day. I would never trade that for a book!
Thank you for sharing with all of us lucky lovers of all things French.

Blogging is infinitely easier than writing a book at least in my mind. I'm 3/4 of the way through on my first novel and blogging everyday is a joy whereas my book is so close to home that sometimes I feel as if I'm pulling teeth getting the words down on paper. Happy you day and please have a wonderful goodie.
I am already standing in line for your book. People are looking at me kind of funny, though.ReplyDelete

Dearest Ms. AwesomeReplyDelete
and Yes-you-should-finish-your-book,
Yes, of course, Carol, you should finish your book, and I'm not a person to use "should" very often with writers. As the editor of a small magazine who is frequently called upon to manage the emotional lives of authors, I say somehow push beyond the horrible, sleep-draining, soul-sucking doubts. Your book will be a snapshot of your Parisian life and patisserie excesses, not a be-all, end-all of the expat experience.
Let your WRITING and ARTWORK be a macaron: excellent ingredients, time in the editorial oven, and mouthwatering sweetnesses as readers turn pages. Your gorgeous watercolors and notebooky style will captivate, and of course Paris itself will send copies flying off booksellers' shelves. I would certainly buy multiple copies for myself and my artist and francophile friends. It would be especially great if it were out by my own Parisian sojourn this August, but . . .
Best wishes and best edits,
- Anonymous12:02 PM
I know what you mean. My book is my baby and most of it is set in Paris, my characters need to now leave Paris and continue on their journey and I think that I am subconsciously resisting and dragging because I don't want to leave Paris. I know that you will be successful with whatever you do, you have a gift and a talent. Isn't the guilt just awful? It serves a purpose since it keeps us going. :)lolReplyDelete
p.s when I was in Paris with my daughter last summer, I visited many of the places that you wrote about, Paris Breakfast is a wonderful guide book

and about the ? you asked, should you write a book !!! definitely YES you must have several books you could put together from all the things you write about. but please ,please it MUST have lots of your sketch's in it. I would certainly buy it. Lots of love or as the Frenchies would say Gros Bisou ;-)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous2:10 PM
Hi Carole. I am thinking that your book might be more of a narrative than one with many pages of sketches. There are a couple of books which I thought might be the sort of format suitable to making a book of your experiences in France, and they were written by an Australian girl who lived in Italy: they are titled "When in Rome" and "See Naples and Die". (there was an old saying in England in the 19th C re the beauty of Naples - then an unspoilt city surrounded by rich nature - "see Naples and then you can die...ie you mustnt die until you have seen Naples". The author is Penelope Green. She was a journalist in Australia so she has a racy sort of writing style...and she already had her foot in the door of the publishing world...they actually asked her to write the first book! I think my own book including my life as an Australian girl in Italy is more interesting tho ...but maybe I dont have her clever writing style; nor do I have her determination so it'll prob stay in my computer. Anyway I think its a good format for you so that your book is more than an extensive guide to all the patisseries in Paris etc. Anyway, just an idea. And also a lot of writers are finding that ebooks are more profitable. But yours would have to include many of your paintings and illustrations. Gwendoline in Australia.ReplyDelete
Oh, yes, please! A PB book would be wonderful! A collection of your beautiful watercolours and little vignettes of life in Paris that I could hold in my hand - I'd buy it! Macarons and pastries and the colours and fashions you spot and ... well, anything about Paris. (And, since you know I can't leave a comment without mentioning Bear ... maybe a few of his adventures, too?!)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1:49 AM
There are bloggers and there are bloggers. You ARE are an artist of distinction with an incredible eye that darts to the unexpected. Who is ever complacent viewing PB. I wish the book could feel as fun a process as the blog. Can't it be that- a compilation. Yours is not the account of contrived drivel. We only hear what you eat for breakfast if it makes your taste buds explode with pleasure. You have brought macaroons to life. I am expecting them to be named any day, and I would be in sympathy with Penelope Pink if she had been dashed by Leo Lime. I actually remember telling you I didn't care for macaroons. WHAT DID I KNOW! I am surprised you didn't box my ears! OK 'nuff said.ReplyDelete
But I mean, who puts a photo of a bewigged Spielburg among pink macaroons! with Woody in the wings looking characteristically wounded.
I love it!

Septimus D. Cabaniss Papers
- 1 Collection Overview
- 2 Workflow
Collection Overview
- Link to Finding Aid
- Link to Online EAD
- Digital Collection Number: u0003_0000252
First Stage: Preparation:
Preparation work will be done almost exclusively by Digitization Specialist Amanda Presnell (or in her absence due to illness, etc. by Digitization Manager Jeremiah Colonna-Romano or Digitization Specialist Nitin Arora).
Pull physical box
Boxes must be checked out from the Hoole stacks prior to scanning. Strive to check out two boxes at a time if possible so that students have a steady supply of scanning material even after they finish scanning the first box pulled. Boxes will be returned upon completion of scanning and quality control.
Prepare physical box:
- Look through every folder to get a general "feel" for the contents in the box.
- Per the archivists, remove staples and replace them with plastic paper clips.
- Mark everything that needs to be scanned on the overhead by enclosing/"flagging" the item with acid free paper both in-front and behind the item.
- If an item appears to be problematic (fragile, etc.), Amanda will walk the item down to one of the archivists (Clark Center, Donelly Lancaster) to ask for guidance on how to proceed, if at all, with the item.
Second Stage: Prepare digital folder structure:
Prepare digital folder structure
S drive:
A single "Scans" folder exists for the collection, so new Scans folders will not be made per our usual approach. For this collection, we will create a "box" directory for each physical box and a "folder" directory for each folder within the corresponding box.
For example, a physical box X that contains Y folders will have a folder structure as such: u0003_0000252/Scans/Box_X/Folder_Y#. A real world example for a non-compound item of the physical folder #10 of the physical box #5: u0003_0000252/Scans/Box_05/Folder_10/u0003_0000252_0510001.tif Note that the last 7-digit segment denotes box(B), folder(F), and item number(I) in the format: BBFFIII.tif, such that it becomes implicit that item u0003_0000252_1117009.tif is the 9th item in folder 17 of box 11.
- Make a new digital "box" directory per physical box.
ex: Box_01
- Make a new digital "folder" directory for each physical folder in the box.
ex: Folder_01
Please note that this numbering systems only works for collections containing no more than 99 boxes, boxes containing no more than 99 folders, and folders containing no more than 999 items.
Local drive:
A single collection folder specific to this collection will exist on each computer involved in the scanning process. These will reside in the shared "Digital Program" folder that exists on each computer.
- Consists of singletons and compound object folders. i.e. there will be no "box" and "folder" subdirectories as there will be on the S drive.
Third Stage: Scanning:
This stage will involved scanning on the overhead (Amanda) and the flatbed scanners (two students assigned to Amanda).
Before beginning to scan, each shift should start with uploading to the S Drive any scans are still on local drive. The local files will, of course, get deleted upon verification of successful transfer.
- Prior to making a scan, determine the filename by consulting the Tracking Files spreadsheet for the collection.
- Make scans per scanning specifics per scanner type - Flatbed or Capture Back
- Note scanning activity per item in Tracking Files.
Items should be considered compound only in the presence of an obvious relationship between multiple pages (i.e. a book, or a letter that is clearly spread across a few pages). Students should not spend considerable time trying to determine what is/isn't a compound object. If doubt or hesitation exists, students should consult with Amanda.
- Items needing to go on overhead:
- Mark items in TrackingFiles (use the exact phrase "Needs Overhead" in Notes column and highlight the row in YELLOW). Make sure the correct filename is placed in the Object Filename column in Tracking Files.
- Write on the physical marker (in front and behind item) the filename. This is so Amanda can verify in Tracking Files that she has been told the correct information regarding what will be scanned on the overhead.
- Once you have uploaded all the files that can be done on the flatbed in one folder or box but there are some items in the folder or box that need to be done on the overhead, add "_OH" to the end of the folder or box name on the Share drive.
- Items needing to go on overhead:
- Items accompanied by a typed transcript:
- Some of the items in this collection are accompanied by typed transcripts. The appearance of these transcripts appears to be random and occurs with only a small number of items in the collection. For this reason, providing digital access to these transcripts was not included in the grant. We do want to maintain a digital copy of the transcript, however, with the view of running OCR on these transcripts and using them for advanced searching in the future.
- Please scan the transcript with the same filename as the archival object. Place the transcript in the "Transcripts" folder in the Cabaniss directory of the Share drive.
- Items accompanied by a typed transcript:
- Upload:
- Upload scans from the local drive to the S Drive 30 minutes prior to end of the shift. (Use the filename structure to know what "box" and "folder" directories to upload to).
- After verifying upload success, delete corresponding scans off local drive.
- If shift time remains, continue to scan the next items. Items will get uploaded the next time someone begins a shift for this collection.
- Upload:
- Upon completion of box:
- Alert Amanda that flatbed scanning for the box is complete.
- Make sure all scans for that box have been uploaded and then add "_Check" or "_OH" to the end of the Box name on the Share drive as noted on the Scans folder Wiki page.
- Begin scanning the next box assigned to you by Amanda.
- Upon completion of box:
Fourth Stage: Quality Control:
This stage will be done almost exclusively by Digitization Specialist Amanda Presnell (or in her absence due to illness, etc. by Digitization Manager Jeremiah Colonna-Romano or Digitization Specialist Nitin Arora).
- Physical QC:
- Verify all physical box content is present (cross-reference with filenames in Tracking Files).
- Check physical folder sequence numbers to check for gaps, etc.
- Digital QC on S Drive:
- Run PERL Scripts.
- First run "filenames.pl" to check for correct filenames and to make all corrections necessary.
- Second, run "numfiles.pl" to checks for count of scans by item level. Cross reference this information as noted here.
- Spot check every 20th scan for image quality and that the scan is of the correct physical item and make all corrections necessary.
- Follow the guidelines set forth in Preparing_Collections_on_the_S_Drive_for_Online_Delivery_and_Storage.
- Run PERL Scripts.
- Physical QC:
Only after all QC is complete, should the box be returned to the stacks.

How to stop hitting the snooze button
By Juliette, Pure Matters
I laud myself for being one of the world's best sleepers. Even despite noisy neighbors blasting "Call Me Maybe" on repeat or a rock-solid hotel bed, I can still pretty much fall asleep anywhere within a few minutes and stay asleep.
But getting up? That's a different story.
I am the queen of hitting the snooze button. Multiple times. Even if I get my recommended 7-8 hours of sleep. It drives my boyfriend crazy, it doesn't actually give me any more true rest time, it probably makes me more tired throughout the day, and it cuts out valuable time in my mornings. Yet without fail, I continue to snooze my iPhone alarm with the half-asleep determination to spring out of bed and start my day. Just give me five more minutes.
That is, until now. One of my new year's resolutions is to take back my mornings, and with that comes the understanding that if I snooze, I lose. So for the past several days, I've been making every effort to get up and at 'em on the first try. Here are some tips that finally helped me to stop hitting the snooze button:
Plan for tomorrow the night before. If I have my lunch and gym bag packed, my work outfit decided on and a rough agenda of the next day planned out before bedtime, I find that I feel more prepared and relaxed. This also actually ironically makes me less likely to snooze–I know I won't have to rush in the morning but I also look forward to having the morning to cook a healthy breakfast and read for a little bit before my day starts.
Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. This was a tough one for me, but by going to bed a little bit earlier each night and waking up a little bit earlier each day, I'm finding that my body is resetting its own inner body clock, which make my mornings all the more easy.
Move your phone or alarm clock to the other side of the room. I used to sleep with my phone practically under the pillow. By moving it to a place in my bedroom that I can't reach, it forces me to stumble out of my comfy bed to turn the damn thing off. And after all that effort, what's the use in going back to bed?
Take a moment to meditate with a positive affirmation. After hitting the first (and final) snooze button, I now take a minute to open my eyes, take some deep breaths and put out some positive energy into the world. By telling myself I'm going to have the most fantastic day ever, I get so amped to spread the happy vibes that snoozing for another 10 minutes doesn't even become an option.

But there are some things you are never prepared for. Like showering buck naked in the pitch dark at 4:00 a.m. (so you don't wake up the family). And suddenly having a zillion megawatt flashlight shined in your eyes. And an 8 year old girl in Little Mermaid pajamas, Spongebob slippers, and a fireman's hat suddenly yell "DADDY! YOU UNDER ARREST!"
Nothing prepares you for that. Ever.

I have a dream, to cook in peace. That sounds so much like ABBA that I am changing that statement though that IS my dream.
Ok, so I want to cook in peace, in absolute silence with only sounds of nature around me, and by sounds of nature I do not mean kids talking, fighting, babbling and saying "Mommy" every 3rd second.
As much as I love these tiny mites, I do not believe that I need to run my cooking steps through them every time. I mean why does a toddler need to be carried so that she can see if I am doing tempering right. Even if she thinks I am doing something wrong and the meat is underdone, I am not going to listen to her, am I ? Who is the Boss around here, tell me.
And why every time that I grind something, there are tiny hands clinging on to my legs and wailing "Mik chi Mik chi" to clamber up. Why is the "Mik chi" the sixth wonder of the baby world ? What is so wonderful about tiny circles of yellow mustard seeds and flecks of green chillies dancing around in a glass jar and going krrrrkat kat krrrr ? I mean it is a great invention and all, close to the heels of a particle accelerator and makes my life very simple but does a baby need to see it in motion every time and be mesmerized.
What happened to cuddly elmo or even her sister's kid size juicer and blender ? Isn't that enough ?
To avoid such intrusions during cooking, I put the vent fan on very high and then turn on my magic bullet blender, praying silently for it to do its job quietly. But the little ears where ever they are hear it and come running, trying to see what the "mik chi" is doing this time. And demand to be held up, to observe the physics behind that chaos and to imbibe some theory that I am incapable of observing.
* Back home we called the blender or the food processor or any such contraption Mixie and I still tend to do that at home. Honestly I don't even know the difference between a Food processor and a blender. I have a Food Processor which has very bad work ethics and does not do my shorshe(mustard) or posto right while this blender does, that is all I know.
After all that if I made a decent Shorshe Begun thank your stars. Bengalis tend to eat a lot of shorshe or mustard or sarson or sorisha or senape and will douse everything on earth in this mustard sauce. Eggplants thankfully do a very good job when they are doused with mustard and Begun Shorshe, Shorshe Begun or Eggplants in Mustard Sauce are an all time favorite.
In this particular recipe I have used a friend's suggestion to add lots of fresh coriander while making the paste. Enough fresh green coriander to give the paste a pale greenish color which you will not see in any photo because my coriander was not fresh enough. Did I say, it needs to be F--R--E--S--H.
That is an unusual thing for a Bangali shorshe bata, the coriander. Bangali shorshe bata doe not have coriander, period. But this one does and that gives a nice flavor to the dish.
This dish also needs enough Mustard Oil, for the eggplant slices to be fried till they are dripping Mustardy goodness all over. If you are Mustard Oil averse and using Canola, do so, just don't come back and complain.
Enjoy this dish mixed with white rice and eaten with bare nimble fingers and thank the "Mik chi".

Serves about 8-10 people when served as one of many sides
Soak 4tbsp of Mustard Seeds + 1tbsp of Poppy Seeds in little water(about 1/4 cup) for 20-30 minutes. Note: Some of my friends will not use Posto or Poppy seeds but will add a little grated coconut while grinding. You can use lesser amount of Poppy seeds if you wish. Also if your mustard paste tends to get bitter, try switching the black mustard seeds with the yellow mustard seeds
Strain the water, add mustard+ poppy seeds to blender and grind to a paste with
5 Green Chili
2 cups of fresh green Corriander Leaves
4 tsp of yogurt
and 3 tbsp water
Chop Eggplant in longitudinal pieces. Smear with salt and turmeric and keep aside. I have used 2 large eggplants(or 4 of the slender long ones) for this recipe.
Heat Mustard Oil to smoking. Fry the eggplant pieces to a light golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep aside.
Heat some fresh Mustard Oil. If you don't have Mustard Oil, use any other White Oil but Mustard Oil is best for this dish.
Temper with 1/2 tsp of Kalonji/Nigella seeds. When the spices pop, add the the mustard paste. Saute for a minute or two. Add 1 cup of water, salt to taste and let the gravy come to a boil .Then let it simmer for some time till gravy is thick and mustardy. If you like it hot add 1 tsp of red chili powder at this point. The gravy should be enough for the eggplants so adjust water accordingly.
When the gravy starts boiling, add the eggplant pieces to the gravy and switch off after a minute. Drizzle a little mustard oil on top, cover and let it sit for 30-40 minutes or more.
Let it sit for some time to let the eggplant soak in the gravy. Serve with white rice.

Retirement funding can seem like
something to deal with later in life, but setting a strategy in place in your
early working years is the key to a comfortable life in retirement. Find out
how we can help you determine the strategy that's best for you!
Seven years ago the United States
plunged into a financial situation later dubbed the Great Recession. Stocks
plummeted, home prices dropped, and unemployment skyrocketed. The comparisons
to the Great Depression of the pre-World War II era came about quickly, but the
generations that lived and worked through that recession had a positive
attitude about the outcome.
Flash forward to today. The country
is bracing itself for a shift in the workforce as the Baby Boomer generation
makes its move into retirement. This shift makes way for the
highly-anticipated, even larger generation of the Millennials.
In 2015, the Millennials, who are between the ages of 18 and 34, became the largest share of the American workforce. Raised by the Baby Boomers and old enough to remember the impact of the recession, this generation has an interesting set of beliefs that steer the idea of retirement in a new direction. See below for a list of considerations Millennials take into account regarding retirement and how the Great Recession of 2008 is affecting their retirement funding.
1. People aren't retiring as early as they
used to.
Baby Boomers have had to deal with job losses, falling home prices, and investment portfolio losses, so retirement has been delayed for many Boomers. Of those over 50, 44 percent plan to work part-time in retirement and 33 percent plan to delay retirement. Implementing a retirement strategy early can ensure you're prepared to retire at an age you choose.
2. You can't rely on Social Security.
The Social Security Administration's Trustees Report of 2015 states that total expenditures have exceeded non-interest income of its trust funds since 2010, and they anticipate that the cash-flow deficit will continue. Depending on Social Security as retirement income is no longer a wise plan. It's going to be up to individuals to ensure they have planned for their future financial needs.
Earn more for retirement with an indexed product.
3. Selling your home isn't a good way to get money
for retirement.
Many areas of the U.S. continue to reflect home prices that have not recovered from the recent depression. The continually rising home values that retirees counted on in the past are no longer guaranteed. Retirement funding should consider this reality.
4. Living a healthy lifestyle can offset future
healthcare costs.
In a recent survey, respondents said they consider healthy lifestyle habits such as a proper diet, regular exercise, and preventive care as a means to reduce healthcare costs. Healthcare expenses can be a major factor in retirement funding.
5. Realize that you will have to withdraw money
from retirement accounts and savings accounts longer than you anticipated.
Life expectancy has increased from 75.4 years in 1990 to 78.8 in 2013, so an increase in retirement savings will be necessary. Cutting back on non-necessities is one way to deal with needing additional savings, but healthcare expenses and other necessary costs aren't easily reduced. With Social Security payouts in doubt for Millennials, it's critical to start saving for retirement now.
6. It's vital to take an active role in managing
your own financial accounts and there are services to help.
Don't raise your hands in surrender to understanding financial decisions! We are here to help. Our Farm Bureau Financial Service agents know the ins and outs of which strategies will work for you.
If you want to plan for your future, but you aren't sure where to start, connect with a Farm Bureau agent in your area to discuss your future financial opportunities. Protect your family by finding the best retirement strategy for you!

- Growing in emerging markets
With developed markets now mature, M&E companies are seeking new growth opportunities. Many are finding them in emerging markets such as BRIC countries or in the Next Eleven (N11).
Emerging markets account for a growing portion of the world's economic output, and are expected to be the future growth engines of the global economy.
With a growing middle class and increased discretionary spending on media-related activities, global M&E companies spend a growing amount of executive time investigating emerging market opportunities.

- Maintaining cost discipline
As business models evolve, M&E companies are rethinking how their organizations should be structured. Companies are not solely focused on how they do things, but what they do — activities that maintain their core products and brands.

We help our clients:
- Assess cost control initiatives to improve value for the company.
- Adopt and transition to outsourcing, co-sourcing and/or shared services.
- Perform scenario-based planning and forecasting to help improve cost efficiencies.

- Implementing new business models
The rapidly changing digital marketplace is placing new demands on systems and processes. Many M&E companies are taking a top-to-bottom look at the infrastructure that supports both new and old business models. Many are finding that their organizations, processes and tools are not up to the task of supporting the new digital business models.
We help our clients:
- Develop processes and organizational infrastructure with the necessary flexibility to keep pace with the speed of digital innovation.
- Reevaluate and improve systems, processes and policies across both traditional and digital platforms.
- Build IP management systems that encompass the entire life cycle associated with managing contracts, rights use and royalties.
- Deploy a rights management system that tracks which content can be used when, where and in what formats.
- Automate rights systems to increase speed to market and decrease risk of contract violations.
- Focus on digital supply management to ensure that media assets can be easily found and distributed across media platforms.
- Increase data capture to support new business models and drive decision-making.
