American Barns
American barns are my personal passion: I love how the old wooden ones look on the prairie, or surrounded by trees on a warm summer's day. I've also come to appreciate the importance of preserving these American Icons and of role they played in the development of our country. These images were made during my travels through New England, Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana. Some are from a book, "Wisconsin Barns," ( http://www.farcountrypress.com). These images are available in a variety of sizes and finishes. Contact me via email at email@example.com. "Wisconsin Barns" is also available at major on line and brick and mortar book stores.Read More

Northern Michigan Attractions: Find Your Spring Sport
Northern Michigan Attractions: The Northern Michigan summer awaits. Time to pick your sport:
RunningThink of running as a long-term project, suggests Lisa Taylor, running coach at Traverse City Central High. Start by alternating one to three minutes of running with a minute of walking. If the running is too strenuous for you to carry on a conversation, slow down or stop. Allow yourself to build strength over time.
For gear, visit a specialty store like Running Fit in Traverse City, where the sales people can check your footprint to determine whether you need shoes that emphasize cushion, stability or motion control. Expect to spend $70 to $120. (Don't skimp on the shoe!)
Bonus: you can pretty much run wherever you are. And definitely run on your travels, Taylor advises. "I've seen places running that I never could have seen on a tour bus." Meet running compadres in The Traverse City Track Club, which holds group runs Wednesdays on summer evenings: tctrackclub.com.—D.W.
GolfSounds obvious, but let's start here anyway: In golf, you need to get the ball up in the air. "And if you haven't played, you have no idea how to do that," says Rodger Jabara, PGA professional at Bay Meadows Golf Course in Traverse City, a course renowned for its teaching. Even one lesson can get you there, he says. Also good to know, you can stave off investment till you know if you like the game. Most good golf courses rent golf clubs. And as for spikes, "You don't need them to start," Jabara says. Key benefits: Assuming you walk the course … legs and torso strengthening, fresh air and sunshine (always wear a hat, advises Jabara). And, not to be discounted, the social aspect. Once you can get the ball up in the air, golf in a league (cheaper greens fees) and join the 19th hole bonding.—J.S.
Road Cycling
Rolling topography, lakes to admire and miles of paved but quiet back roads conspire to make Northern Michigan a road cyclist's fever dream. But getting a taste for the road before dropping $800 (or more) on a new road bike is a good idea, says Chris McKay, sales manager at Latitude 45 in Petoskey. So find a shop that rents bikes and helmets and find a paved trail where you don't have to worry about car traffic, such as the Little Traverse Wheelway or TART. If you're fretting about the purchase after that, consider a used bike or take the long view: some shops offer no-interest payment plans (as Latitude 45 does). The M-119 Tunnel of Trees beckons, as does a healthier heart and happier mindset. Connect to routes and fellow cyclists at various skill levels at cherrycapitalcyclingclub.org.—D.W.
You've been enchanted by A River Runs Through It. Now, how to put yourself in the story? Check out michigantu.org to find a local meeting of Trout Unlimited, says Brian Kozminski (Koz), the Petoskey chapter TU president. Once there, find someone friendly, like Koz himself, who makes a point of encouraging newcomers, and start learning to cast. Mastery comes later, but luckily the fun begins at the get go. Start-up equipment includes waders for $75 to $100 and a rod-reel combo for about $100—a pretty low entry price for sports these days. Or find an experienced fly fisher to go with you and lend the gear, so you can sample in the wet and rightful context.
Upshot: "You will get hooked," Kozminski says.—D.W.
Paddle BoardingFirst, know that just because boards look sorta all the same, they aren't. Fit matters. So, Rule No. 1: demo several boards, says Josh Baker, of The Outfitter of Harbor Springs. Luckily shops make this easy at demo days, where they haul several boards to the shore and hand you a paddle. Choose your board based on how you intend to use it, advises Baker. Most families like bigger boards with a planing bottom and padding on top—stable and great for flatwater paddling. The balancing and paddling is not as daunting as it looks Baker insists. But if you get the wrong board, "all bets are off," he says. The fitness benefit: strengthens legs, glutes and core. Decent beginner board with paddle: $800–$1,800.—J.S.

Dark, deep, rich chocolate. None of that "milk chocolate" nonsense. And even less, white chocolate [not even really chocolate?]. But give me some bittersweet or dark chocolate, and I am one happy camper.
Make that a flourless chocolate souffle cake?
I'll be your best friend.
Valentines Day means people are
a) lovey-dovey to the point of irritation
b) broody to the point of irritation
Then there are those who eat their feelings. That would be me. Though, without the negative implications of the aforementioned statement. Rather, I eat because...that's what I do [have you met me?]. I just use Valentines Day as an excuse to make something decadent. This year, the dessert of choice was chocolate souffle cake with salted caramel sauce.
Noosh and I enjoyed a womantic dinner of Boylan burgers and sweet potato fries [carb-counting today? please.], and then
Adapted from Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey
For the cake, you'll need:
- 1 cup [2 sticks] unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pound bittersweet chocolate
- 8 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbs bourbon [I used 1 tsp bourbon extract]
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- top with desired sauce; click here for my salted caramel sauce recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the base 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the base and sides. Combine chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and melt [begin with 1 minute and 30 seconds, stir, and continue melting in increments of 15 seconds until smooth]. Set melted chocolate aside. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks and salt. Whisk in 1/2 cup of sugar and beat on medium-high speed until yolks turn a pale yellow color, 4-6 minutes. Whisk in the bourbon and vanilla. Slowly whisk in melted chocolate mixture until uniform. Set aside.
In a clean, stainless steal bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tarter until frothy. Increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten the batter. Add in the rest of the egg whites and fold gently until just combined. Pour batter into pan and bake for 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out almost clean [it's fine if a few crumbs stick to it, but there should not be liquid batter coating the toothpick]. Let cake cool at least 30 minutes before removing from the pan [it may have 'sunk' a little bit, which is fine].
Drizzle warm salted caramel sauce over cake right before serving. Top with chopped pecans. Serve with whipped cream, if desired, to offset some of the sweetness.
|poked holes over the top for the sauce to seep in
This dessert is not for the faint-hearted. Really.
In terms of what to serve this with, I definitely suggest salted caramel if you want a sauce. Anything sweeter would be far too much, since the cake itself is so rich and dense. Lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream would also be good choices.
Man. This cake is good. Like, really good.
Though, not sure I would recommend eating this after a heavy dinner of burger and fries.
It makes for a good treat though... if you haven't eaten anything all day...
Ugh. Sugar.
So bad.
And yet...
Happy Valentine's Day!

When I was a kid I won a lot of coloring contests. You know, the ones that shopping centers and grocery stores would have throughout the year with little gift-certificate prizes? I won so many from the Save-A-Lot down the street that they knew me by name. I once won a $2,000 scholarship and a trip to Disney World from two national coloring contests. Now, I wasn't necessarily a gifted 'colorer' nor did I use special techniques or expensive crayons; the real reason I kept winning was that I had found the secret to coloring contents. It was being unique. If a holiday scene had a Christmas tree, I'd add little birds with garland. Bear on the moon? Color it like he was really under the sea.
I realized early that it was less about staying within the lines and more about finding a unique or creative way to approach a project. It's a lesson that I was lucky to learn early, and then basically spend the rest of my life trying to perfect. As an experienced designer now, I know that there is an absolute necessity for design solutions to be as engaging and effective as possible. I've seen the power that well conceived and properly crafted design can have on projects and why it's so vitally important to get it right. When I look back at my coloring contest days I see a time, even then, when looking at a project in a new way was the key, and I feel like that is a lesson that has guided my hand on many design projects throughout my education and career.

A while ago I made this little dress.
And its story is as cute as it is. So listen up . . .
I used to work at a coffee shop (the one that closed down) with a girl named Kati. We had both worked there for a couple of years, when her boyfriend Ben (needing some extra money) started to work there as well. I actually made a wedding dress for his sister almost two years ago, when he was just an acquaintance. He saw what a good job I did on his sister's dress, and knew that Kati liked my designs, so he asked me to make something for her, but he also wanted it to be a surprise.
How am I going to surprise this girl when I need to measure and fit her? So I came up with a plan that involved a couple other girls that worked at the coffee shop, and a little bit of trickery.
I told Kati that since I was going to start selling on Etsy, and that I was going to do everything custom sized, that I would need some practice fitting people. Well not really practice fitting, but more like reassurance that if I made something according to measurements that when the garment was tried on, it would fit. Anyway, one day at work, I measured her, and two other girls (to help with the lie), and then came up with some designs that I made muslin samples of, so they could try on.
Kati and one of the other girls I measured (Erica), came to my studio one day so I could "practice." These two girls were almost the same exact size, which actually worked to my advantage. I had two different bodices for them to try on. Kati's was a simple sleeveless top with a wide neck band. My idea for that was to make it out of gingham, with the neck band cut on the bias, with a fuller skirt, and a belt that would also be cut on the bias. The one I made for Erica to try on was a spaghetti strap top with a sweetheart neckline, that would fit at the waist, with the same type of full skirt and belt. Both fit each girl very well (which was, in fact, reassuring). Kati, seeing Erica's sweetheart neckline, mentioned that she loved that neckline. So Kati tried the bodice originally intended for Erica, which was originally intended to just help fool Kati, and it fit her so well, and looked so good on her, that I decided to scratch my original idea. Only now I had to come up with a different fabric choice. Which also worked out, because Ben said she already had so much gingham and that she liked green. I am not too fond of green gingham myself (I really only like yellow or black). So it was back to the drawing board.
I had the design of the dress figured out, it fit her perfectly, and I knew that Ben wanted the dress to be green. So I looked online and found all the green fabrics that I liked, emailed them to Ben, and from my choices, he picked the green apples. (Yes! That was my favorite.)
So I made the dress (just in time for their vacation), secretly met with Ben at an undisclosed place and time, and he surprised her with it. Yeah! She was happy, Ben was happy, I was happy, but a little jealous. I wanted an apple dress too. It is so cute! But it is more special since it is one of a kind. I'm sure I'll manage without.
Soon after that dress, I got busy making these shorts for and old friend of mine:
More green. The color was her choice, of course. But making these two things got me thinking that I needed something green. So I made this for me:
I found this fabric at Joann's. They also have red, blue, and black, so I was thinking that I could sell this design and offer it in those various colors. I am not sure about this fabric though. I didn't wash the fabric before I made the dress (tsk, tsk, you should always pre-treat your fabric), and now the green is rubbing off onto the belt. The fabric is kinda cheap, and I am worried about it fading easily. Before I decide to post this for sale, I'll have to wash the dress and see the amount of fading, and also see if it is still bleeding onto my belt. I would also add straps before posting this for sale. We'll see about this one.

Transformers 4: Or Why Too Much is as Bad as Too Little
7 comments:
Sounds like he sat around with the writers and said 'What about this? Add it!' Case of throwing in the kitchen sink. And chasing too many rabbits.ReplyDelete
I will check it out on NetFlix, just out of curiosity.
I think T4 had more to do with the writer than with Bay. The guy (I forget his name) has just been getting more and more extravagant, and no one is telling him, "Hey, this is too much for a two hour movie." That, perhaps, is Bay's fault, but he's a director, not a writer, so, maybe, he can't tell? He just looks for explosions. The movie needed at least another hour to explain what was going on, and it was already too long. Basically, I said the same thing as you in my review.ReplyDelete
I haven't, at this point, suffered from writer's block.
It was very disappointing as I usually love films like this, but you're spot on it was so over the place I found I was no longer invested after the first 20 minutes. Characters were so shallow (ie the agent all in black who's only deal was that his sister had died in Chicago and had about two lines) and SPOILER I was devasted when they killed off the comic relief so early!ReplyDelete
Was not a rewarding movie experience even having explosions on the big screen.
OK I am still trying to get over the fact that Stanley Tucci is in this flick. I find that these action films are becoming more and more about using tech stuff and 3D at the cost of good writing, plot and character development. A great action film not only has the action but a great plot, great writing, great characters and that the director can put it all together. I have no desire to see this flick unless I am sick in bed and am too weak to change the channelReplyDelete
I almost saw the movie with my girlfriend last weekend, even though I had completely skipped out on the third one. Good thing we decided to see How to Train your Dragon 2 instead. :)ReplyDelete
I haven't heard that many good things about this one. What a shame.ReplyDelete
I agree S.L. By the time the Dino-Bots came in I was tired of all the plot lines. I don't think any of them got resolved well either.ReplyDelete

If you were at our house tonight around, say, 5:00ish….this is what you would see
It's Zoe's very favorite time of day. The time of day when Daddy come home! As soon as the dogs start barking she stops whatever she's going and focuses on the door. She steals a couple quick glances at me to confirm that her suspicions are true…daddy's home! Her smile spreads from ear to ear and it's the one time of day you can see all 4 teeth at the same time. Brad walks through the door, makes a bee-line to his little girl, swoops her up in his arms and smothers her with kisses.
And then she tells him all about her day.
And my heart melts.
Since we're talking about Zoe…look at her new trick.
This is where she ended. Holy Cow!
Do you see the storage ottoman?!?!?!?!?! Thanks Mom and Dad for the early birthday present! Talk about a working piece of furniture! It's a storage space for ALL of Zoe's toys, it's a foot rest, flip the lids over and it's a tray, it's extra seating, and MOST IMPORTANTLY it's giving Zoe something to hold on to and practice walking.
I'm telling you now, it's not even my birthday yet and it's been one of the best birthdays I've EVER had. It's in the top 5 for sure.
Have a great Tuesday everybody!

On New Year's Day, Pope Francis issued a tweet in which he exhorted people to "entrust the new year to Mary, Mother of God, so that peace and mercy may grow throughout the world".
Such idolatrous faith in Mary is, of course, a central and seemingly growing part of Roman Catholicism, but it is completely at variance with historic Biblical Protestantism.
Pope Francis is often hailed – and is deliberately promoted – as a humble, liberal and open-minded pontiff.
In November, when a papal visit to Northern Ireland in 2018 was mooted once again, some Protestant ministers could barely contain their excitement and were gushing in their praise of Francis.
It would therefore be interesting to hear what these men think of the pope's New Year tweet.

Hi I'm Julie
I was born and raised in S Africa, in a Greek home
where food and sweets were abundant. My mom is a great
cook and baker and we had 3 home cooked meals every
day, which was great!
We hardly ever ate as a family though, due to my parents
work, they owned supermarkets and bakeries, and were at
work 24/7 till late at night.
I offer integrative Nutrition coaching in Limassol, Cyprus. Achieving a better, happier, more active, vibrant you by controlling your primary and secondary foods.
You've already reached the first stage of achieving a better, happier, more active, vibrant self. And it only took about 10 seconds – the time it took to read this sentence.
You wouldn't be looking at this web page if you didn't feel that things need to improve. I know what you're thinking:
'I need to make a new start…' or
'I've looked after everyone else, but I need to look after myself more…'
And it all seems such an uphill struggle. The daunting prospect of self-denial, going without the food and drinks you love, just to achieve some temporary weight loss or brief pique of fitness, for it all to disappear down the drain within weeks.
But here's the good news: you already know how to make a better life for yourself, but like so many people, the tools you already possess to do so are locked away in your psychological cellar.
The key is feeding your brain and your body with the things that suit you as an individual, so that your head your heart and your gut are in synthesized in harmony.
I'm Julie Constantinou, think of me as your brain's locksmith. Every person, just like every lock, is unique. But I can cut the key to that dusty cellar door of yours, and just as soon as your mental tools are unlocked and available, you will be eating, what's more, enjoying the food that suits your body (and yours alone).
You'll be exercising because it's fun, not sticking at it like an unpleasant tedious chore. You'll learn to love yourself, and pass on that good karma to those around you, who will be amazed by the positivity you've gained, the burdensome weight you've lost, and the cheerful healthiness you'll exude.
How do I do this? It's the simplest thing ever. I learned from my own experience.
I healed myself from troublesome interconnected health issues some years ago by studying a technique called Integrative Nutrition, it has allowed me to finally find my purpose, my passion, and the key to my health.
I use the dualistic concepts of Primary Food and Secondary Food. Primary food is what feeds our mind, motivation and emotion, such as relationships, career, physical activity and spirituality. Secondary Food is what you eat and drink, and whether it really suits you. One person's food is another person's poison, and that's what may well be preventing your body from functioning as it should.

Holy Cross Episcopal Church Holy Cross Episcopal Church
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
To provide an opportunity for our neighbors and oursleves to grow as members of the body of Christ
Identify and implement outreach programs that are intentionally more hands-on as well as those supported primarily through collections of funds or goods. The Refugee Outreach Program is a primary outreach program that addresses the concerns of the local community and places us in direct physical working relationship with that community.
Assist the elders of the local refugee community to improve their English language and cultural literacyskills, to facilitate their participation with the larger community, and to assist them in their desire to obtain citizenship.
The goal of the Holy Cross Episcopal and Ascension Lutheran Refugee Outreach Program is to work with the local refugee community to develop and sustain programs that support self-sufficiency for local residents especially the Nepali-speaking Bhutanese living within walking distance of Holy Cross. The Outreach Program has three primary objectives for its ESL and cultural literacy classes in 2014:
- to demonstrate an increase of at least 20 percent in basic literacy skills over the course of the year as measured by the Laubach Way to Reading Diagnostic Inventory and Student Reading Profile;
- to reach the maximum number of students our program can reasonably serve, an increase of at least 50 percent over spring 2013; and
- to measure student's basic citizenship knowledge with the intent of identifying areas requiring further instruction.

Initial jobless claims increased during the second week in June, as 386,000 Americans filed for unemployment benefits.
The Department of Labor revised last week's reading slightly higher as well, up 3,000 to 380,000.
Since the start of the year, initial claims have only topped 390,000 once, and have remained in a tight band between 361,000 and 392,000.
Below, a look at initial claims over the past three years.
Initial claims, stacked:
Data from the Department of Labor also showed that continuing claims dipped to 3.278 million, slightly above consensus for a 3.270 million reading.
Minutes away from the key data point of the day: Initial Jobless Claims.
Economists polled by Bloomberg forecast claims declined marginally week-to-week, with 375,000 first time filers in the week ending June 9.
Continuing claims are also seen lower, with 3.27 million Americans remaining on benefit in the week ending June 2.
Both will be announced at 8:30 a.m.
In a note to clients, UBS says that claims would need to start reading above 400,000 per week to push the Federal Reserve to act on QE3.

Microsoft has a post up on their blog, Live Product Search More Images, More Relevant. According to their latest information 88.6% of the products now have images (a 9% improvement over the old system). Why aren't there 100% images in the top results?
The reason is largely because many sites, including very reputable merchants like Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, and AceHardwareSuperStore.com, block image crawling bots or seriously throttle them. We will have to work with these sites to address these issues, but the latest improvements in the number of Product Search top results with images are already quite significant.Webmasters are weird about crawlers. Some complain even when the search engine will drive traffic to their site... and then there are the really insane webmasters who complain when you make 100 hits to their site. Some appear to have nothing to do but pour over their weblogs. Still, this it is surprising that MSN is having these problems with major retailers.
I don't buy MSN's 88.6%, at least not from a user perspective. I tried some queries and I'm seeing much worse results. See XBox 360 (10 out of 18 have images), ipod (12 out of 18), and a hard one kershaw shun (a brand of knife) (0 out of 18). This leads to my overall rating of approximately 41%. Compare this with Google. XBox 360 (7 out of 10), Ipod (10 out of 10, Kershaw Shun (10 out of 10). Google gets 90%. My unscientific 41% is a long ways off from MS's claim of 89%. Now I can't see what is in their entire database, but from my user experience something is fishy here.
In other product search related news Microsoft news... MS is working on Cloud DB (coverage via Geeking with Greg), a similar product to Google's BigTable. The key problem here is: how do you handle sparsely populated columns efficiently? From what appears to be some kind of leaked discussion on Cloud Db:
MSN Shopping. The total set of attributes that products can have (e.g. "Pixel Resolution") is very large, but any given product only has a few (a vacuum cleaner doesn't have 'Pixel Resolution').A good review of BigTable and eventually BigTable and S3 is something for another night...

I remember reading the Book of Acts and the account of Paul, Barnabas and Mark and wondering how it got so bad between them. In Acts 15:36-40, the Bible reads:
"And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do. And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God."
Barnabas was one of those that stood by Paul after his conversion and yet they went separate ways. That was the last time we heard of Barnabas (except when Paul mentioned his name in one of his letters to the Churches); but this is not where I'm going. From the above Scripture, we see that Mark did not 'start well'. It seems he left them when the going was rough.
Now, let's look at someone who started well. His name was Demas and Paul in his letter to Philemon in Phil 1:23-24 says:
"There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellowlabourers."
Fast forward a few years down the line when Paul was writing to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:10-11. This seems to be one of his last letters before he was martyred:
"For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica… Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry."
This same Mark who was the cause of the split between Paul and Barnabas has suddenly become profitable for the ministry; and the Demas who was called a fellowlabourer loved the world and departed? Wow! I didn't see that coming.
I guess in the end, what matters most is how we finish although starting well is definitely a plus.
Food for thought:
It's easy to live in bondage of fear about where we will end up when that Trumpet goes off but I think a better way to live is to live in love. May God help us in our walk towards perfection of love.
Life nugget:
Matthew 10:22 "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved."

Assyrian Zazich and Tzatziki
I'm half Assyrian. I grew up eating a dish called Zazich (prounounced jah-jek). It's a cheese spread that we'd smear on everything and eat like it was going out of style. It's a really great dish to eat if you think your LDL is too low.
Here is the zazich recipe. I didn't even know how it was spelled until I looked it up on Google recently! There are slight differences between recipes I've found online and what my family did, but the overall recipe is fairly consistant.
- 16-ounce package small curd cottage cheese
- 2 large packages (6- or 8-ounce cream
- 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature (optional, but yum)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (Use Italian parsley if you think cilantro tastes like dish soap. Some people hate it)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
- 2 hot yellow hungarian peppers / banana peppers, diced. (omit if you are a sissy pansy)
Add all ingredients to mixing bowl and blend. I use a hand held blender to smooth out the cottage cheese curds. They're kinda nasty lookin' otherwise. When you are done blending, put it back in the fridge. It will be about 24 hours before all the herb flavors release into the dip. Add a little salt if you wish. Spread it on bread, toast, bagels, pita. Rub it on your assneck, I don't give a shit.
If you want it to be lower fat you can use use half the cream cheese, as we did when I was a kid, but fat is what makes everything taste good. Growing up, we never measured anything. It was a pint container of cottage cheese, a standard stick of cream cheese, a "bunch" of cilantro, a "bunch" of dill, and that was it. If you have cilantro or dill left over it won't kill you to just throw it in. More flavor, ya know? I never liked hot peppers as a child. Now I can't get enough. Use them if you wish.
When I got older I discovered all the other middle eastern cuisines as well as world cuisine. I love Assyrian food because I grew up with it, but I think Lebanese food is far superior. (My grandmother is going to haunt me from the grave for admitting that). Learning to cook world cuisine has altered how I approach family recipes.
I realized I could make a fantastic tzatziki while using the flavors of Assyrian zazich. We never made tzatziki when I was a kid, so I had to make up my own that still adhered to the flavors common in my family's recipes.
Here is what I came up with:
- 1 pint full fat greek-style plain yogurt.
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (Use Italian parsley if you think cilantro tastes like dish soap. I said it before: Some people hate it)
- 1 tsp smashed fresh garlic
- 1/2 – 1 tsp salt (start with a half and add more to taste)
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp mayo (you can skip the mayo, but I think it rounds out the flavor. Use good mayo, not some Miracle Whip bullshit)
- 1 medium cucumber (I leave on the skin)
I place the pepper, salt, and garlic in a mortar and smash the hell out of it with a pestle until it is a paste. Slice the cucumbers thin and then dice them. I use a truffle shaver, but I am a douchebag. Put the minced cucumber into a mixing bowl along with your garlic paste.
Add in a pint of full fat plain greek yogurt. I prefer Straus Greek Yogurt. Greek yogurt is strained so it is rich and almost as creamy as cream cheese. Any yogurt will work but dairy fat makes it taste better and it should be tart enough to gag a Bulgarian plummer.
Add in the remaining ingredients and mix well. Place it in the fridge and give it 24 hours for all the herbs to mingle with the dairy fat. Put it on kabobs, rice, pita. Rub it on your pintits, I don't give a shit!

With a snip-snip here and a snip-snip there…
Shaun White has offered his glorious red mane to Locks of Love, and the Olympic gold medalist now sports a look that will surely garner more endorsements, inspire subcultural trends and generate looks from the ladies. As you can see in the video below, he's still the same Shaun White — but he looks like he immediately aged five years with the new 'do. Now, he actually looks like he's really a 26-year-old man.
White has done much more for extreme sports than setting impressive performance standards. This dude is pure class (aside from that drunk and disorderly arrest, which can probably be attributed to the perils of youth and fame).
Like anyone who's had long hair, the locks definitely became part of White's identity. There are people you meet, and have known for years who recognize you because of these physical traits and attributes. But, at a certain point, all that hair becomes cumbersome. You start to wonder, "What if I take it off? It'll probably make showering faster…" For Shaun White, such curiosity could even be considered a risk — his hair helped to coin his nickname: The Flying Tomato.
Still, White makes a simple statement in the video that offers some insight into his persona: "Somebody needs it more than I do." Most people go their whole lives having never made such a statement, or offering such consideration.
I just hope his snowboarding superpowers were in no way related to that ginger magic.

Inglot Bright N' Matte Lipsticks in 424 and 426
Here's a review on Inglot Bright N Matte Lipsticks in 424 and 426.
Price: P795.00/each
Bought From: Free
Other Locations: Available in Inglot, Glorietta 5
Inglot's like a watercolor palette because they've got any color you can possibly think of. If you haven't been to their store in Glorietta 5, you should go and visit for a preview of some of the most outrageous colors like an electric lime eyeshadow, hot pink eyeliner, yellow lipstick, black lipstick, and even a white lipstick! :D
Since I mentioned lipsticks, here are two out of the five colors from their new Bright N Matte collection. The nice thing about this collection is it's got a good mix of dark (but color still pops from the skin tone) and bright colors-choose whatever that tickles your fancy!
Bright N Matte Lipstick is part of Inglot's Summer 2014 makeup collection. Aside from these two, there's also a bright pink shade, muted lilac shade, and a berry-fuchsia shade (which I sooo like!)
Left: 426
Right: 424
- 424 is a described as a cherry orange shade, which is quite apt. It's a bright orange shade with a slight cherry red undertone
It is no secret that orange looks good on warm skin tone, and this is no exception. The cherry red undertone will compliment fairer skin tones as well. However, I find that this particular shade enhances dry areas and strangely, it makes my lips flake for a bit. The culprit could be the pigment used and the kind of shade it has! FYI, lighter colors in matte finishes tend to cake and look flaky-this rings true not only for Inglot, but for most brands too.
- a plum berry shade
424 is like a less violet version of MAC Rebel and a more plum version of Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Shameless. it's the exact opposite of 424: It's smoother, covers evenly, doesn't enhance dryness, and doesn't make my lips dry.
My very first matte lipstick from Inglot is called 405. I remember that it's super smooth and I've experienced zero dryness with it, but I find that the new Inglot mattes are bolder, more matte, and richer. (This could be a reformulation!) A reader of mine nailed it on Instagram when she commented on one of my photos and said that Bright N Matte's quality is like MAC's Retro Matte and I couldn't agree more, but the former is just less drying and comes in more colors. That said, you should scrub your lips and prep with a lip balm before usage. If you're looking forward to purchasing these lippies, I would suggest go for the darker shades as they seem to have a more tolerable consistency. ;)

I've always had a soft spot for Laika, the first dog in space, who tragically died upon the Sputnik II shortly after takeoff. I wanted to name my current pooch after the canine cosmonaut, but lost the naming battle with my partner. I can finally live out my space dog dreams through a beautifully illustrated biography of the most famous dog in the former Soviet Union.
Laika, a graphic novel by Nick Abadzis, recounts the life of this furry victim of the Soviet space race. Based upon historical fact with flourishes of fiction, Laika's colourful characters bring life to a dark period of Soviet history. And for those with a cartoon dog fetish, Laika reminds Boing Boing's Cory Doctorow of the famed Tin Tin, a similarity that "nicely complements the subject matter, contributing much to the sweetness of the story, and serving as counterpoint to the exhaustive research."

This "baby" is a spunky little guy. When I was pregnant with him and watched the close bond the older two had I worried he would be left out. Now I know that is impossible. His big personality would never let that happen. He's a 2 year old that thinks he's a 5 year old. He squeezed himself tight into that boy pack and those three are now thick as thieves. They are so lucky to have each other. I am so lucky to have them.
He is 2 1/2 and while he has no interest in leaving his big boy bed behind just yet (nor do I) I thought I'd give his room some thought in anticipation of the transition. I'm going for a look that will grow with him. Neutral walls, classic bedding and nothing too 'cute.' Here are some rooms I love.
What's not to love here? The woodwork, the lighting, the color scheme, the lighting. The table in between the beds is just asking to be a diving board though.
The headboard, the lighting.
I thought about them sharing a room for about 5 minutes. Then I realized that would be complete insanity and their constant puppy piles would extend into the late nights and early mornings. No thank you. Moving on. Like the style though.
I'd like to incorporate a map somehow in the room. I like the interesting placement in this one.

By Sean Morley
An ocean pour-over is like a river rapid's salty, schizophrenic cousin. In the course of a typical 15-second swell interval, seawater will gush in and out of these narrow passages between and over seaside boulders. The flow will smash together, and drain away completely. Sometimes, if you time it just right, you can paddle through the gap on the back of the swell, escaping into clear water before the sea drops away to leave you stranded on razor-sharp rocks, waiting for the next pulsing wave to land on you from ahead or behind, or both directions at once.
Still with me? Good, because paddling pour-overs is one of the most dramatic, exciting and satisfying things you can do in a sea kayak. It combines elements of sea, surf and whitewater paddling into a wonderful test of timing, judgment and skill.
Choose your Day: Plan your outing to coincide with a small, long-period swell from a consistent direction. Low swell height means the waves should be less pushy and the troughs less deep—it's usually the trough that leaves you stranded if your timing is off. In theory, a long period will allow you more time to make it over an obstruction.
Assess the Risk: Before attempting a pour-over, watch it carefully for several wave cycles. Avoid dead-end features, and stay away from crevices, caves that narrow down to less than a boat's width, or jumbles of rocks that offer no clear exit. Watch what happens when the wave recedes. Are there nasty rock spikes that could pin a kayak? Can you see large barnacles or mussels that could shred gel coat, plastic or skin?
Timing is Everything: The point of a pour-over is to ride the cushion of water created by the wave as it surges over the rock. Go too early and you'll be in front of the wave, where you risk scraping across rock that is not yet covered or, worse, surfing the wave with no way to control your speed or direction. If you go too late, the cushion of water will dissipate beneath you, leaving you high and dry, likely off balance, waiting for the next wave to engulf you.
Watch and Learn: Getting the timing right requires observation and often several probing runs before you go for the full move. Watch how the wave wraps around the feature. Determine whether the incoming waves or the backwash produce the strongest—and more importantly the longest lasting—flow through the feature. The backwash is often less energetic, more prolonged and thus safer than the incoming surge.
Bring your Skills (and Your Friends): While most intermediate paddlers can master the pour-over, before venturing into the rock gardens you should have strong paddling fundamentals, including an effective forward stroke and good bracing technique using the 'paddler's box.' You should be well practiced in self- and assisted-rescue techniques. The key is to choose your features wisely and paddle with folk you trust to get you out of trouble if things go wrong.

The bag is very beautiful, but a little crush sent
This a really really beautiful bay and perfect for 2-3days travel. But the quality of the leather is not as expected. Because is already have crack on the leather after I used a week.
This bag looks like a rabbit catching your eyes and it's so lovely! The color is nice and easy to go match. Its capacity is suitable for daily use. The quality of leather is also good. I like this bag very much.
Nice style, really pretty bag!! The problem is it's really heavy it-self, a bit annoying to take when you wear the thin clothes...
I love it! It is so grace!! My friend said she also want to get one after seeing I wear it! White is the right choice for me!
white is my favorate colour!this white bag is so beautiful!i like it.
Good product. The bag is made from real leather, suitable size for my ipad, fashion looking. It takes a few days to receive it, apart from it, all good.
Nice color.however it is easy to be stained.I think pink will be better. it is difficult to open the bag.
Very nice bag. Slightly larger than expected and looks beautiful. I use it for work; it takes my lunch, notebooks and a medium make up bag. The discreet pocket is ideal for sanitary towels. The only downside is the straps. They get tangled quite easily.
Received this beauty much quicker than I thought! Big PLUS to MyBag.com. Very vintage classy looking and the colour was just perfect. I was surprised to find the old school buckles instead of modern magnetic clip-on, wondering how durable it would be!
I think though the bag is more expensive than other bags, it is excellent for me. I can put my laptop and books in it when I go to school.
The Grafea Bianca Medium Leather Rucksack is a very lovely bag and can easily hold my laptop. The straps are comfortable and it looks very fashion too - I love it very much!
The Grafea Bianca Medium Leather Rucksack bag looks great in white. I was in love with it at first sight and couldn't resist buying it!
I like the Grafea Bianca Medium Leather Rucksack, it is easy to style with any outfit. It is slightly heavier than I thought it would be though!
Grafea Bianca Medium Leather Rucksack is wonderful and excellent. The colour is really what you look at the Internet. It can contain many things and is suitable for shopping and travel. Besides, the white bags are perfect for summer and spring. And it is easy to match with clothes.
Best buy ever! Such a beautiful bag, incredible quality, yet surprisingly robust. Despite being white, it is very easy to clean. Literally wipe clean! Also so versatile. I expect this bag to last me for life. Additionally, I highly recommend mybag.com. Quick and easy to pay, and I was absolutely gobsmacked (and so very happy) by how quickly the bag was delivered! Delivered the bag in 12 or so hours from ordering! All in all, 12/10 for both mybag.com and the bag. Best purchase ever.
This Grafea Bianca Medium Leather Rucksack has a big smell of leather, I have to hang it next to window for over 5 days. But the quality is not bad.
This Grafea Bianca Medium Leather Rucksack is a lovely bag! I recommend!
The Grafea Bianca Medium Leather Rucksack - White really is awesome!
I'm looking for this bag for long time! Really love it! True bag is nice as in the image! 100% good bag !

We gave United the tools it needed to create a more personalized loyalty program.
With an astounding 52 million members, United Airline's "Mileage Plus" had quickly become the second-largest loyalty program in the industry. Customer feedback, however, showed that members found the program complex, inconsistent and hard to use. They didn't feel special, and they didn't understand all the benefits available to them. United needed to improve both its communication style and its method of information delivery.
Through intensive research, we discovered that members were overwhelmed and confused by mixed messages and conflicting voices. Even worse, United spoke to its members as a generic whole rather than as unique individuals. While Mileage Plus collected a lot of data, it wasn't using that data intelligently, and there was no overarching communications strategy. To remedy this, our team created a branding blueprint that illustrated how all interactions could be aligned with member preferences and could embody at least one of Mileage Plus' four strategic pillars—Show me, Encourage me, Help me and Recognize me.
To combat complexity, we simplified the program's long list of ambiguous terms and developed voice attributes to help all employees communicate in a voice that is uniquely United. As for the most frequently used channel, MileagePlus.com, we created a completely new look and feel that offers a more personalized experience, recognizes individual's achievements, and provides useful and relevant information on the program's offerings.
The new MileagePlus.com launched with unanimous positive feedback, and the whole United team is now energized and confident that they can continue to speak to members in a more personal way. And no matter what medium delivers the message—from call center to kiosk to website to direct mail—the experience will be consistent, engaging and easy to understand.

Harold was accustomed to confined spaces, having lived in a prison space his entire life. First with his siblings when he was but a youngling and now in his single solitary space that grew lonelier by the day. He never quite knew the reasoning behind his imprisonment nor was he aware that he was in fact imprisoned at such an early age. But like all naïve children Harold became aware of the injustices of the world and found out that he was a part of one. Because he was born different Harold was stripped of his freedom and forced to live a life of confinement.
He peered out every day from his only view, a small crack in the wall, to see others roaming freely and experiencing the world's offerings as frequently as they wished. He longed to explore the unknown and the unexperienced and with every passer by from his small cracked view Harold felt a pang of jealousy and yearning. His dreams, when not interrupted by night terrors, were vividly imaginative worlds of explorative abundance. New tastes, sights, smells and other sensations were found at every turn and in every nook and cranny. Harold's dreams were his only means of escape from his dismal life and if he were somehow deprived of them too, Harold thought that he would soon die with his last robbed freedom.
Harold knew little of his enslavers except that they often joked with one another about his situation as if it were some masterful joke that they were greatly benefiting from. He resented them with every ounce of his being and when he wasn't dreaming of epic journeys Harold would turn the tables and take the place of his enslavers, treating them exactly like he was treated. Sometimes in these dreams the cruelest enslaver, locked in the smallest of spaces, would look up at Harold, who was now much larger, and plead for compassion. Harold would look down and laugh but this laugh was not of enjoyment it was a disgusting cold laugh that would immediately wake Harold up, sweating and panting. This was a night terror and it scared Harold to imagine himself like them.
One day, during his normal routine of switching between dreams and watching the world outside his crack, Harold was startled as his prison space was opened up. The enslaver outside beckoned Harold to follow him, which he did, though not without trepidation. He could never trust these cruel beings. As he turned from his confinement he saw that the other prisoners were also being let out of their spaces then placed in a long line. Harold grew anxious as he was led to the end of the line where he and the others were continually hit and slapped and forced to follow as it slowly progressed further and further onwards.
Harold's anxiety grew until a burst of light so magnificent and warm suddenly hit him. Harold looked up and saw a yellow circle in the sky. It hurt his eyes to stare but it was such a wondrous and welcoming sight that the discomfort didn't matter to him. Tears streamed down his face as a soft weeping started up from the prisoners. The world was beautiful and at last they were experiencing it. Harold looked down and found his vision had been blurred from the warm circle, he also noticed that the line was being led into another building across from the prison spaces and could only make out the word "rhouse" from the sign at the top of the entrance. Mesmerized with everything that was happening, Harold followed on.
Later that night a truck was loaded up with many packages from the "rhouse" building. Sammy, a young prisoner, peered on from her prison space as the engine revved into life. A light shone onto the side panel revealing the logo "Simpson & Farley Meat Co. – Fresh Pork". Sammy watched until the truck faded into the night then, with a soft grunt, turned to her siblings and went to sleep. That night she dreamed she was the truck driver and drove off into the countryside on an epic journey.

In somewhat of an unusual case, a former employee, Rochelle Baez, will be allowed to proceed on her claims of retaliation and hostile work environment claims under Title VII and accompanying state of New York law against her former employer, Ann Fontaine USA, Inc. after she was terminated soon after complaining of fellow coworkers spreading a "rumor" that she attended a meeting with the company's president and CEO wearing a "revealing shirt and no bra." Though the New York district court opined that the case is weak and that this case is "not the type with which the relevant discrimination statutes are most concerned," the court also acknowledged that if the comments "on bra-less attendance at a meeting were made by a man, plaintiff's case would be much stronger." The court held that there is no legal reason why the gender or number of speakers alters the analysis.
What ultimately carried the day for Baez in the face of a few legitimate articulated reasons for terminating her employment by the defendant (i.e., her poor management of an employee at a Bal Harbor store, and problems opening of the Madison Avenue store in NYC), is the fact that the president listed the "drama" as a reason for her termination and the fact she was terminated in close temporal proximity to her complaint about the rumor being spread about her. This, according to the court, was sufficient to create a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether her complaint was a but-for cause of her termination.
The case is Baez v. Anne Fontaine USA, Inc. et al, No. 1:2014cv06621 - Document 72 (S.D.N.Y. 2017).

The first place to start is by setting goals. There is so much I want to change about my life, but I can't know how to get there if I don't know where I'm going. My mind is flooded with ideas, hopes, projects... and the best way to start keeping track of them is by writing them down. After they are written down, its much easier to break down the process of reaching those goals into steps.
I'm a fantastic list-maker, but I'm not always that good with the follow up. Maybe putting things out there on a public blog will help.
And so, without further ado, in no particular order, (see, I'm procrastinating even in this sentence!), here are some of the goals I have in mind:
1. Lose 35 pounds. No matter which way you look at it, I must lose this weight. I'm not trying to be super-skinny, although I'd love to look like Katee Sackhoff... but seriously, I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with my daughter. I am in real danger of developing Type II diabetes, especially as it runs in my family. And, on a more positive note, I need to lose the weight, so I can gain it back again! Baby weight, that is :-)
2. Start homeschooling my kids. My son is ready. Daughter not far behind (at least for what is developmentally appropriate for her). I want to really solidify the pre-K curricula we are going to use and then get going. Son is ready to read!!
3. Deepen my relationship with my husband. I'm not going to get terribly personal about this on the blog. Suffice it to say that its something I long for and need.
4. Go vegan. There are so many reasons for this- personal, ethical, health... Its my happy medium between raw vegan and vegetarian. I'm doing it. I'm ready
5. Do the 21 day Quantum Wellness Cleanse- that means no caffeine, gluten, alcohol, sugar, or dairy.
6. Fast twice a week- not strict fasts, but the typical type that Eastern Orthodox Christians do- no meat, dairy, fish, olive oil or wine on Wednesdays and Fridays. For the most part, that's not a huge sacrifice if I'm able to meet my vegan goal, but no olive oil? That kind of terrifies me.
7. Incorporate religious life even more into my family life. I was so struck by Anne Rice's descriptions of her early childhood growing up in the Roman church. Her religious life was so intertwined with her childhood that her first memories were of her church. Her family celebrated feasts and fasts and commemorated any number of biblical events. I'd like to follow the liturgical calendar of the East. We will not be participating in feasts venerating "saints", but the big ones like the Great Lent, the Nativity, Epiphany, Pentecost etc. will be observed. I just like the idea of interweaving church tradition with daily home life. Its just another tool in the toolbox.
8. Develop an attitude of service and self-sacrifice and drop the martyr complex. My motto for 2009 is simple: Serve. Self-care isn't a bad thing. Self-obsession and self-pity are killers. I believe you can balance service and self-care and I intend to make this the year that I really start.
9. Declutter my home. Get it in good order. Full time homemaking/mothering is just around the bend and I would like to be prepared. Babysteps!
10. Give up television. I watch way too much. I have it on in the background even if I'm not watching it. I'll stick with my big favorites: The Biggest Loser, Big Love, BSG, and the Tudors and pretty much drop the rest. Yes, even America's Next Top Model and perhaps Survivor. Shoot, the list I'm sticking with seems like a lot, but all save one are very limited in scope with only 10 episodes each.
11. Learn to love quiet. I have quiet. Can't stand it. Must. Have. NOISE! I don't think that compulsion has served me well over the years.
12. Read for at least 30 minutes a day with my kids. Doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm not with them enough to extend it out.
13. Read every book on my church's reading list this year. Read at least two books a month.
14. Have fabulous birthday parties for my kids- with invitations and everything!
15. Keep my cool with my kids. Its a tall order, but it is absolutely essential. There is no excuse for my blow-ups and tantrums. Period. Gentle Discipline!
Okay, that's all for now. But be warned- there is more!

Often called Detroit's most elegant place to learn, Marygrove is located on 53 beautifully wooded acres in northwest Detroit. The park-like campus is centered by four very spacious buildings. Two main structures, both completed in 1927, are the Liberal Arts Building and Madame Cadillac Hall.
Built of Bedford stone in a Tudor Gothic architectural style, both buildings are distinguished by the quality of their materials, including Carrera and Tavernelle Rose marble, English oak paneling, stained and leaded glass windows, terra cotta fireplaces, and bronze grillwork. From the maple and oak hardwood floors to the slate roofs, the buildings are crafted with a quality of material and attention to detail that can never be replicated. In many ways, both buildings represent Marygrove at its best: they express a philosophy of education that reveres excellence and honors the values that endure.
This building contains classrooms, administrative offices, faculty offices' science laboratories, art studios, dance studios, and the facilities below.
Located in the Library of the Liberal Arts Building, the Gallery is part of the original Library and features work by Michigan artists. The gallery opened in February 2001 and has had a full schedule of exhibitions of two dimensional media, sculpture, ceramics and installation since then. The gallery is open the same hours as the Library.
Located on the first floor of the Liberal Arts Building, the Bookstore has textbooks, paper, pens, art supplies, computer supplies, cards, newspapers, calendars, mugs, etc. and even free advice from the Bookstore Manager. If you want Marygrove's name on it, the Bookstore is likely to have it. (The exception might be aspirin and Band-aids—they come generic.)
Campus Safety officers are on duty 24 hours a day. Campus Safety can assist with the following: first aid, escort service from buildings to vehicles, campus IDs, parking permits, lost and found, contacting off-campus emergency personnel, registering conditions that would require that you receive special assistance in emergencies. Emergency phones are located in the Liberal Arts and the Madame Cadillac Buildings and in each parking lot.
Located in the basement of the Liberal Arts Building, they provide the following services:
The Children's Center provides quality care and facilitates in the social, emotional, and cognitive development of each child, ages 2-1/2 (toilet trained) through 12 years old. Located on the ground level of the Liberal Arts Building, the Center is staffed by a director, assistant and student aides from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Child care is available for children of Marygrove College students, staff and faculty. Fees are pre-paid for the entire semester and are not refundable except for extended illness of four days or more. Students may select the days and times they will use the center. Drop-off services are also available.
Michigan law requires that the parent be on campus at all times when the child is being cared for in the Center. Children must be registered for the block of time when the parent is in class or in the library. Detailed directives regarding immunization, illness, etc. may be obtained in the Center.
The Marygrove College Library, which occupies five stories in the east wing of the Liberal Arts Building, is a warm, comfortable, comprehensive resource center. Its facilities include:
The Library is staffed by a superb team of professional librarians and paraprofessional assistants and technicians. Services provided for students and other patrons include:
Specialized hands-on information literacy/library instruction sessions in all disciplines and at all levels of study
This 400-seat auditorium is available for performances in music, dance, and theater as well as other cultural and academic events.
The literal center around which Marygrove was built, Sacred Heart Chapel, resembles a Gothic cathedral in miniature. The Italian marble altars, the beautiful Bavarian art glass windows and the Casavant organ stand as memorials to friends of the College.
The Chapel's peaceful interior often draws students, faculty and staff for a quiet moment apart from the pressure of the day or evening. The Chapel is also used for Catholic liturgies and College functions.
Located on the lower level of the Library in rooms L011 & L012, STIC offers a variety of services to students to help improve their computer technology skills and enhance their chances for success at Marygrove and beyond. STIC services include:
Located in the Liberal Arts Building on the fourth floor, this beautiful and spacious exhibition features works by contemporary local and national artists, art faculty and students.
Located in room 030 of the Liberal Arts Building, the Women's Center offers a sanctuary of resources, from assault crisis hotlines and Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender/Questioning (LGBTQ) support networks to information on academic curriculum and programming in women's studies. There are several shelves of books available for check-out, from history to self help. The Center is open to men and women.
Marygrove provides electronic mailboxes for all students. All classrooms and computers on Marygrove campus are connected to the Internet. Wireless access points are available throughout the Library and many areas on campus. Over 200 computers are dedicated to student use in computer classrooms, the library, and labs on campus. Marygrove students can register and pay for classes online.
Originally designed as a residence hall, Madame Cadillac Hall today houses faculty offices, classrooms, the graduate offices, Human Resources; Institutional Advancement division; Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions, the cafeteria, the athletic department and fitness center and Student Support Services. The facilities below can be found in Madame Cadillac Hall.
This main social hall occupies the entire south wing of the first floor. The room's distinguishing feature is a large terra cotta fireplace. It is used for receptions, lectures and other College events.
Well-balanced meals are served seven days a week.
With its intimate terra cotta fireplace, oak paneled wood walls, and carved beam ceilings it affords the College a medium-sized room for social gatherings.
Located in the lower level of Madame Cadillac Hall, the Fitness Center is equipped with free weights, universal machines and cardiovascular equipment. It is open to all Marygrove students, faculty and staff. Patrons must have a current Marygrove ID to use the facilities.
The ceiling is very high and paneled with large wooden beams, heavily moulded and carved. The entire south end of the room breaks out into a bay window, flooding the room with light. It is used for receptions, lectures and other College events.
A coeducational residence for students, Florent Gillet Residence Hall opened in 1958. The living areas are divided into suites, composed of two bedrooms, a bathroom and a study area. There is also a large community area for student events and a computer lab with 24-hour access on each floor. (Note: The residence hall is currently available to undergraduate students 17-25 years old only).
The golf facility provides Marygrove's golf team and the Midnight Golf Program with a place to gather, learn and practice. It features a large practice putting green, a large sand bunker, two practice tee areas to accommodate up to 26 hitting bays, and a 4-hole short course.
In 2010 a soccer field was installed on the east side of campus. It represents a commitment by the College to environmental sustainability while providing a new and exciting on-campus activity for Marygrove's athletes, the campus community and the surrounding neighborhood.
A berm located between the Golf Practice Facility and the soccer field has inset seating and can accommodate approximately 250 people. There is also an athletic building that provides a convenient place to store equipment and machinery, and a concessions building with restrooms (which use recycled water) and food for spectators.
Inside the Student Center you will find the Student Affairs Division, the office of the Vice President of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, the Director of Student Life, Academic Advising and Career Development, Counseling and Student Development, Campus Ministry and Service Learning, Technology Services, and Campus Student Organizations.
Located on the first floor, the Resource Room is a beautiful, quiet space available for students to read and relax or hold group study sessions. Books, magazines and journals are available for students' enjoyment. In addition, there is also a recreation room for students to unwind.
There are two student lounges on campus:
Located in the Student Center Building, this lounge is a fun, relaxing environment for meeting with friends, studying, checking email or watching TV. Lockers are also available.
Located on the lower level at the east end of the Liberal Arts Building, this lounge has comfortable furniture for students to relax before, after and between classes. Workshops and student activities also take place here. There are vending machines, televisions, lockers and a study room for individual and/or group studying.
The courtyard, adjacent to Madame Cadillac Hall, is a place for students, faculty, staff and others to gather, study, eat lunch, or to sit quietly and reflect.
Art students may use a computer graphics lab equipped with Apple Macintosh computers and software, printmaking facilities and equipment, a photographic laboratory, and a ceramics studio.

Now don't get us wrong, we love camping in the summer – blue skies, bright bunting, sunshine (sometimes) and green, sweet-smelling grass, but being outside in the winter is something else altogether.
Harsher, yes, but somehow more beautiful too, and our freshly whipped meringues of tents look simply stunning against solemn winter skies.
With this in mind, at the end of last year, we decided to take advantage of an unusually clear December, pitch a Wild Hare Belle in a wild Anglesey forest, and cook up something flame-licked and delicious.
We enjoyed steamed mussels (recipe to follow on the blog shortly) and then toasted marshmallows (little Petal took to carrying one of hers around in her hands and kissing it every so often)
and stayed outside the tent until well after dusk.
Stories around the campfire carried on long after the packet of marshmallows was empty.
And then it was time for bed.

Pistons Add Firepower
The Pistons also added some muscle in the form of Charlie Villanueva. He is an inside scoring presence as well as a decent rebounder. He averaged 16.2 points in 26.9 minutes per game. He added 6.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.7 blocks, and 0.6 steals. He can stretch defenses out by knocking down the three (1.1 per game at 34.5%).
The deals for the former UConn stars won't be official until July 8th. Gordon's is for five years at $55-60 million and Villanueva's is for five years at $40 million. Perhaps the best aspect for the Pistons is they are getting two players from division rivals.
With Iverson and Rasheed Wallace gone, nobody should take too much of a fantasy hit with this signing. With Gordon gone, John Salmons' fantasy value increases. In Milwaukee, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute's fantasy value increases.

WARSAW, Poland – Severe thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rain and gusty winds have hit Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic in the night from Wednesday to Thursday. In Poland, the weather caused the collapse of a roof Kolodziaz (center), leaving one dead and five injured by the fire department.
The storms that hit Poland in the night a thousand uprooted trees, brought down many power lines and caused damage to about 200 roofs. Firefighters also reported flooded streets and many locals.
Czech Republic, several rivers and streams have reached crisis point, particularly in the Liberec region (north) near the border with Poland. Several camps were evacuated because of flooding. New storms are expected as planned until Friday.
