So, how did I end up here in Washington DC exactly? Well, to answer that question, let's travel back in time to Day 1 which is May 24, 2005.
The day had finally arrived. I woke up early morning and made final preparation for my departure to Washington DC later that afternoon. My roommate, Ading, would accompany me to Lambert Airport. It so happened (as I planned) that my flight would be scheduled at the same day as Ading's mother. She would fly back to Jakarta after spending about a month in St. Louis. I bought my ticket to coincide with her flight so Ading would be able to take time off from his job on that day only. I brought with me two big luggages, one duffel bag, and one folio bag. Ading's mother had boarded the plane two hours before I would board mine. I was anxious, I didn't know what to expect when I'd arrived to DC. My internship hadn't been confirmed yet, and I hadn't secure a place to stay on a more permanent basis. My stomach felt twenty pounds lighter everytime I thought about it.
The flight number was Northwest Airline (NWA) 1589 with a transfer in Memphis to NWA 0955. I boarded at half-hour to noon and arrived seven hours later at DC's Ronald Reagan Airport. Weather wasn't helping, it was drizzling and I wasn't familiar with the Airport's layout. My friend from college, Salman, had kindly enough offered his place for me to stay temporarily. But first, I had to find a way to the Metro (subway) station where he had waited for me. My bags weren't helping either.
It was probably because I was tired from hauling the bags from terminal B to terminal A, it didn't occur to me at that time to transport them via elevator from terminal A's 2nd floor to its 1st. Instead, I used the escalator, and one of them fell grinding through! I was flabbergasted and couldn't bring myself to yell a warning to the person down the escalator. Thank God he was alert and hurried down to avoid his impending doom. He stepped aside from the escalator and my luggage just slide through before it stopped seven feet away from him. Thanks to his quick reaction, a disaster had been avoided. I apologized to him, and shortly after, a police on a bicycle arrived. He understood the situation immediately after seeing me with three other bags coming down from the escalator. I took my bag and continued walking to the Metro station amid surprised looks from passersby and passengers eating at the restaurant opposite to the escalator. Man, I was so embarrased.
I finally met Salman and we rode the Metro to his place.

So if you might have noticed from our most recent posts that there is a theme of some sort going on here. Call me silly or brilliant, either one is fine. ;) But I came up with the idea of taking some amazing hot beverages and turning them into some amazing baked goods. In our last post, we showed how to create a hot cocoa inspired gluten-free and vegan cupcake. Today I bring you my version of a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato, in cupcake form. I hope you enjoy!
You'll need:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp butter extract
3 tbsp caramel syrup
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour
1 ½ Tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
Makes 6 Jumbo Muffins
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a jumbo muffin tin and set aside till needed.
In a medium bowl using an electric mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add in the sugar and extracts then continue whipping until creamed.
Gradually add the eggs in, one by one. Mix well between each addition.
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Then stir that into the creamed mixture a little at a time, alternating with the milk.
Pour batter into lined muffin tins, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from the center and the tops are a light golden brown.Allow to cool in the muffin tin for five minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Once your cupcakes have cooled, it's time to core out the center. Don't worry, with the proper tool this task is much easier than you might think! If you don't have a coring tool then I would suggest using a butter knife to cut out a circle about the size of a quarter in the center of the cupcake, going down about 1 1/2" deep.
Macchiato Butter Cream
1 cup butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tsp instant espresso (I used one Starbucks Via pack)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp caramel syrup
In a medium bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Next, add in one cup powdered sugar. Dissolve espresso into the heavy cream then whip it into the frosting mixture. Add in a second cup of sugar followed by the vanilla and caramel, then whip in the last cup of sugar. Continue whipping until everything is fully combined and your icing is smooth and creamy.
Scoop the frosting into an icing bag fitted with a large tip or fill a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, then cut one of the corners. Pipe the butter cream into the center of a cupcake until the core is filled, then continue and frost the top of the cupcake as well. Repeat this process until you've filled and iced all of the cupcakes.
Serve and enjoy! Preferably with a nice cup of hot coffee.

How often should one bathe their dog
Human skin and dog skin are different in many ways and using human products on dogs can often dry out and damage their skin. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself before deciding how often to bathe your dog:
- If your dog lives indoors and sleeps with you and is allowed on furniture, you may want to bathe him regularly from anywhere between once a week to once a month. The only tradeoff is that your dog's skin might be marginally drier but you will have a fresh smelling dog to cuddle with.
- The breed of dog is also important because a harsh textured coat often repels dirt and wont get as dirty as a soft-coated dog. Breeds with harsh-textured coast include Shelties, Collies and labs and they can be bathed once a month. Dogs without undercoats like Maltese, Yorkies, Afghans and Shitzus should be bathed once a week. If you're not sure, remember, a clean dog is a happy dog!
- Unlike humans who absorb most environmental allergens through their noses and mouths, dogs tend to absorb allergens through the skin. Weekly bathing can prevent itchiness, washing allergens away before they get a chance to penetrate the skin.
In conclusion — the answer for MOST dogs is to wash them every 2-4 weeks depending on the above circumstances. But remember, use a gentle pet shampoo and conditioner and do not use your own shampoo!

Age: 25
Hair Style: Long

Eye Color: Light Blue
Clothing: Prefers wearing black. Main uniform consists of a black Kevlar vest, with white tank top underneath. Black leather jacket, gray metal-knuckle gloves. Black skirt with black compression shorts underneath. Black, fitted combat boots. And weapons.
Accessories: Weapons..
Other Details: She always has weapons?
Personality: "I have a job to do" is the usual go-to reply from Webrins. Duty comes first, and she remains loyal to a fault when it comes to her homeland. To her, this job is her life. There is nothing else, and she's willing to obey orders down to a T, as she has done in the past. Never has her will wavered, and she doesn't see that happening anytime soon in the near future. She's still normal, mind you, outside of work, but when there's a fight, she's locked on.
Strengths: Loyal, well-trained and experienced, enthusiastic
Weaknesses: Stubborn
Hobbies: Training
Quirks: She has a habit of giving stupid comments the silent treatment.
Powers: Combat Strategy
"Dude, that's not even a power.." You're right—it isn't. She's completely human, save for maybe some amazing physical fitness levels she's managed over the years. Her major skill which has saved her time and time again is her ability to think on her feet in battle. With her trusty tactics, her signature long-range assault rifle, Starbone, and the allies she has working with her, entering a combat zone and solving problems is her super power.
History: Her father was on the military force for 15 years before he perished, but that wasn't the motivation in her life. Her mother, who married the man simply because it worked with her own schedule. When a man can't be around that often, he can't ask where you are when you aren't home. As a Special Tactics Officer of the Alacritas Military, her duties came before her love life. That being said, she stepped over that line when she let herself get carried away over revenge for the monster that killed her husband.. by training her daughter in the ways she was trained and continuing a family tradition she swore off years before marrying.
That being said, Shiloh, while unaware of the twisted plot she had been drafted into, remains aware of the lack of normalcy in her life. Little girls aren't put through what she was put through. It's still her life. It's up to her to deal with it.

Webrins wrote:Name: Starbone Bullet Inventory
Type: Passive
Description: While Webrins' trademark weapon, Starbone (Barrett M81A1, .50 BMG--Dude, this thing is real!), is semi-automatic and very easy for her to load, which is important considering that she's been blessed with a technological department which graced her hands with some snazzy bullet modifications. While it doesn't require an action to load a special bullet, she can only use one special bullet to augment an action per turn.
Effect: The following bullets are available to Webrins:
- Exlposive--Explodes on contact with a medium-sized AoE burst.
Armor-Piercing Shrapnel--When fired, separates into several small shrapnel which are built to pierce armors. Bullet immunity is ignored.
Smokescreen--The bullet releases a medium-sized smoke cloud on impact which blinds all in a medium-sized AoE (the bullet deals damage, but the smoke does not).
Holy/Silver/Garlic(wtf)--"You'll thank me when these work."
Uses: Unlimited
Cooldown: 1 bullet per turn
Name: Neutralize
Type: Offensive Multiplier
Description: Webrins interrupts an opponent's action, ruining their strategy.
Effect: (Acc*1.2) If Webrins' Accuracy is greater or equal to 110% of the action's Accuracy, the action is interrupted. The interruption does not waste uses of any techs that were interrupted, but the cooldown is triggered.
If Webrins' Accuracy is greater or equal to 130% of the action's Accuracy, it is treated as if it were an overpower. The opponent's Speed does not come into play to dodge this overpower, as long as they spend an action to dodge the attack.
Uses: 3
Cooldown: 3
Name: Disengage
Type: Defensive Action/Nerf
Description: Webrins finds a pattern in her enemies' attacks, quickly centering herself and weaving between any offensive threat sent her way. The opponent becomes demoralized by her movements, intimidated by her swiftness, making it even harder for them to focus upon her.
Effect: Spd*1.2, and simultaneously reduces the Accuracy of all enemies by 10% until the end of her next turn.
Uses: 4

Plus-size Bridesmaid Dresses
Plus-size bridesmaid dresses are no longer dull and boring. Look at the recent collection of wedding wear and you are sure to find a wide variety in most flattering styles in plus-size dresses for fuller figures. Here's more about the picks in this category.
Mamta Mule
Being plus-size doesn't mean that you are left with fewer options in lovely dresses. If you are looking for dresses for your full-figured bridesmaids then you need to pick the right styles that will help them stay comfortable and look charming. Let me tell you that designers are not at all ignoring the fuller figures while designing wedding wear and have a good collection in all styles designed for them as well. Of course this ensures that bridesmaids need not have a tough time searching for the right size and then a well-designed outfit in the section.
Bridesmaid Dress Patterns
Flowy Fabrics
Before you look at the styles in plus-size bridesmaid dresses, here are the details of fabrics that you must opt for. Fabrics play a major role in the pattern of a dress and the way it fits on your body. While soft and flowy fabrics stay against your body, forming the best tight-fitting outfits, the stiff ones like organza are popularly used for balloon styles dresses. Fabrics like lace, chiffon, silk, Georgette, and sheath satin are lovely picks for fuller figures. You can also grab the soft linen or matte fabrics. Let me tell you, though tulle and organza are types of fabric which blow up, these can work best if you want to add a beautiful overlay to the gowns.
Necklines and Sleeves
Choosing the right necklines is another important part of designing pretty dresses. Let me tell you that necklines and sleeves are the most prominent sections of a dress. One thing that you must keep in mind while picking the dresses in plus-sizes is that you must completely avoid the off-shoulder or even the on/off shoulder designs. There are plenty of options in necklines and sleeve patterns to be checked out which can create beautiful looking dresses for fuller figures. Go for the sweetheart neckline or the sophisticated 'V' or a deep 'V' neckline which look beautiful. A wide halter style is also a good pick if you are looking for a glamorous neck pattern. Strapless dresses and wrap styled bodice in sleeveless pattern are quite popular styles. A wide strapless pattern, adorned with short cap sleeves offers a cute style for a long gown. Avoid full sleeves or even the ¾th sleeve pattern.
Dress Styles
Full-length gowns in straight fit are a good pick. Knee length strapless dresses with lace shrugs make beautiful outfit for bridesmaids. Another style is going for the two piece gowns with pinched pleats at waist and a little flare at the end. Empire waist and strapless gowns with pleats at this raised waistline can look great on silk fabrics. Dark colors like navy blue, purple, bright ocean blue, wine, magenta, plum, latte, crimson look beautiful and create a slimming effect as well. Light colors like banana, rose, blush, ice blue, lavender, lilac, mint give a soft feminine touch to the dresses. Shades of blue, dark browns, or greenish gray are most suitable.
The plus-size section has undergone a major change in recent years. Unlike the loose and ill-fitting dresses was filled with, today you can find most flattering and voguish outfits on the racks for helping the fuller figures dress up a stylish way. With the aforementioned tips on suitable outfits for fuller bridesmaids, I am sure that you are ready to shop for the best looking and trendy dress. All the best!

- Page 1 OrthoVia OrthoMouse Review
- Page 2 Buttons, Scrolling & Verdict Review
As well as holding your hand in a more comfortable position, the OrtheMouse also aims to reduce hand strain by having the buttons use a very light action – achieved by mounting the micro switches right at the base of the buttons thus making use of the law of levers to reduce the effort required. Sadly, as with the sensor, the use of rather poor quality micro switches means a Steel Series Xai, for instance, actually has a much lighter button action. Nevertheless, the OrthoMouse does still feel nice to use in this regard.
The final nod to better ergonomics on this mouse is its lack of a scroll wheel, which are notorious for really exacerbating finger pain from using a mouse. Instead OrthoVia has implemented a rather clever system whereby you press the button above your thumb to scroll up and below your thumb to move down. Press your thumb in and you have a conventional 'middle' button for 'soft scrolling' (a directional icon appears and you merely move the mouse in the direction you'd like to scroll) and whatever other functions you normally have a middle button for. Double and triple tapping the up and down buttons makes the scrolling faster giving you enough variation in pace that after a little bit of acclimatisation you don't feel too hampered, though of course it doesn't quite feel as intuitive or accurate as a proper scroll wheel.
All told, the OrthoMouse is certainly the most usable of all the ergonomic mice we've ever tested. From pointer movement, through button pressing and scrolling, it's accomplished enough that day to day office work is not adversely affected like on many alternatives. It's certainly a different story when it comes to gaming as accuracy and speed just aren't sufficient. Likewise graphics professionals that are constantly using their mouse for accurate work would probably find it a little frustrating, though arguably they should be using a graphics tablet anyway.
The only stumbling block for the OrthoMouse then is its price. At around £105, it's more expensive than any mouse we can think of bar the extraordinary Razer Mamba and for that money we'd want slightly better build quality with those non-slip rubber sections we mentioned, better micro-switches, and ideally a better sensor. Obviously one should be prepared to pay a little bit extra for a specialist tool but even so, this is a little too much for our liking.
The OrthoVia OrthoMouse is an effective way of reducing wrist and finger pain when spending all day using a mouse. It also offers better accuracy and general usability than many ergonomic mouse alternatives. However, it is a little too pricey for our liking, even accepting the premium for a niche product.

Lifestyle and high blood pressure: The practical stuff
Q. You surely can't expect me to cut out all processed foods to lower my blood pressure?
A. Processed foods may contain a large amount of salt, an ingredient that raises blood pressure. So, cutting out processed foods from your diet may have a significant effect on lowering your blood pressure. For more about the effects of salt and daily salt limits please see the Making lifestyle changes page.
Processed foods are a part of almost everyone's lives and cutting them out completely may not be possible. However there are plenty of positive choices you can make. For example, you could:
- read the labels of the foods you buy and choose the products with the least amount of salt (or sodium)
- cook more meals yourself from fresh or frozen ingredients
- eat fewer fast food meals.
Cutting down on salt will take some effort, but it is well worth it. It may take a few weeks, but your tastebuds will adapt and you'll soon wonder why you needed so much salt in the first place. And, the more low salt products you buy, the more likely it is that food manufacturers will produce more low salt products, giving you even more choice in the future!

This is a joint initiative of Pound Pup Legacy and Against Child Trafficking. Quoting from their joint statement:
As written, the Children In Families First Act of 2013 proposes to advance the polices as outlined in the US Action Plan for Children in Adversity, through the use of inter-country adoption, and it proposes to remove legal policies and "barriers to permanent placements" of children into American homes and families. The bill is not in the best interest of children around the world and should never be passed in Congress.

Our lab studies the diversity and evolution of animal function. We are interested in questions about:
• How animals (and their parts) work
• How the ways that animals work affect their ability to survive
• How animal function varies to meet the demands of different environments
• How animal function has diversified and changed through evolution
To answer these questions, most of our research examines vertebrate muscle and bone function during locomotion, with a major focus on reptiles (especially turtles and alligators), amphibians, and fishes. Other work includes studies of fish feeding, vertebrate paleontology, and the mechanics and evolution of deer antler.
We use a wide range of techniques in these studies, drawing on experimental biomechanics (high-speed video, strain, EMG, force platforms, mechanical property testing), morphometrics (allometry, mechanical models of recent and fossil specimens), phylogenetic comparative methods, and field sampling.
Our lab participates in several professional societies, and is especially active in the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB), the Society for Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP), and the International Society of Vertebrate Morphologists (ISVM). I currently serve as Program Officer-Elect for SICB and Awards Committee Chair for SVP. I am also on the Editorial Boards of the journals Proceedings of the Royal Society B, and the Journal of Morphology, serve on the Board for Clemson's Bob Campbell Geology Museum, and facilitate activities for Clemson's Bob and Betsy Campbell Museum of Natural History.

Cold Weather Friends
Some people feel this need to box up and constrain ice cream as strictly a summer dessert. Which we get. Hot weather and cold scoops are sort of an amazing combination. But we would like to propose that there is no "bad ice cream weather". Winter's celebrations and comfy fireplace days can make a pretty fantastic backdrop for a MELT pint or two, and many of the comfort foods this season requires can be improved with a scoop of ice cream. In that spirit, over the next couple months, we will be letting y'all in on some of our favorite pairings and recipes for winter food and drink that call for the world's best dessert. Kicking it off, we've got a recipe for possibly the easiest way there is to turn your much needed caffeine dosage into an elegant, Italian dish.
Affogatos are a traditional Italian dessert which are served in restaurants all over the country. Consisting of a scoop of ice cream topped with a shot of espresso, they're the perfect mix of hot and cold, cozy and refreshing, the most delicious "best of both worlds" there is. To make one at home, without the blessed privilege of an espresso machine, just brew an extra strong 1/4 cup of coffee, and you'll get the general idea. For the classic affogato, go for Beans, and for a festive twist, we recommend Merry Marshmallow or Santa's Helper. As a personal favorite, top it with cinnamon to take it to the next level.
So there you have it. Reason Number One why you shouldn't give up on ice cream just because it's a bit chillier outside. Come grab a pint today to make your own affogatos (and if you've been eyeing that gorgeous spoon all through the post, make sure to grab it out of our Tribe Alive line while you're here.)

Canberra: Recording a Vision
Lecture by Professor Christopher Vernon
January 14
In April 1911, the Commonwealth of Australia launched an international competition for the design of its federal capital, later named Canberra. Near the year's end, in the depths of a frozen Chicago winter, Walter Burley Griffin and his new wife and professional partner, Marion Mahony Griffin, put their heads together and poured their creative energies into recording their shared vision for Australia's capital.
The outcome was an ensemble of 14 exquisite renderings, each, as London's Building News and Engineering Journal reported, measuring "five feet by two feet six inches" and "delineated to a very small scale—400 ft to the inch—on account of the gigantic character of the scheme." Like the design they represented, the renderings also were a collaborative product; the presentation's scale, scope and production complexities mandated assistance.
To produce these exceptional drawings, the Griffins co-opted office worker Roy Lippincott—soon to be Walter's brother-inlaw—and Walter's sister Gertrude for the job. Along with this pair, Marion recorded in her memoirs that George Elgh, another employee, "helped us out with the competition drawings in Chicago." Graphic artist Miles Sater, later Gertrude's husband, was another likely contributor.
In this lecture, Christopher Vernon will survey the evolution of Marion's graphic technique and cast new light on the talented assistants who helped produce the iconic renderings of Australia's national capital.
Riga's Capital Modernism
Lecture by Professor Steven Mansbach
February 11
For the Baltic republics that emerged in the wake of World War I—as for other newly-established nations in Central Europe—modern art, design, and architecture served as effective means to assert a national identity. But the innovative forms and progressive styles that were so important to the nations' self-understanding shifted in character over the course of time. This is especially true for Latvia's architecture, where changes in local political, ethnic, and cultural circumstances constantly inflected the visual character and meanings of modernism. Riga's own twentieth-century architectural history, beginning with a singularly rich and inventive Jugendstil and culminating in an indigenous authoritarian functionalism articulated in the 1930s, reveals how modernism could depart from a unitary stylistic imperative in order to serve the needs of divergent social, ideological, and economic interests. In fact, the Baltic metropolis's inventive adaptations of competing expectations and shifting needs enable us to recognize in Riga the creation of a capital modernism that can serve as an interpretative paradigm through which to map cultural narratives materialized throughout the region.
STEVEN MANSBACH, a Professor of the History of Twentieth-century Art, at the University of Maryland, College Park, focuses his research and teaching interests on the genesis and reception of "classical" modern art, roughly from the last quarter of the nineteenth century through the middle of the twentieth. In addition to holding fellowships and university professorships in the United States, Europe, and Africa, he served almost a decade as associate dean of the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at Washington's National Gallery of Art and as the founding dean and director of the American Academy in Berlin.
The Other Side of the Tracks: Charlottesville's Landscape of Prostitution, 1880-1950
Lecture by Professor Daniel Bluestone
March 11
Like other occupations, prostitution has a spatial and architectural context, in some cases modest in other cases monumental. Focusing on a single city, this lecture will explore the landscape of prostitution, considering the ways in which the legal and moral frame shaped the location and architectural form of accommodation. It will also review legal prohibitions against prostitution present particular challenges to historical inquiry.
DANIEL BLUESTONE is Professor of Architectural History and Director of Historic Preservation at the University of Virginia. Currently Professor Bluestone is a Fellow in Garden and Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks. In 2013 The Society of Architectural Historian awarded Professor Bluestone's book Buildings, Landscapes and Memory: Case Studies in Historic Preservation its Antoinette Forrester Downing Award, which recognizes "the most outstanding publication devoted to historical topics in the preservation field."
Please join the Latrobe Chapter for a members-only a tour of the Octagon House (1799 New York Avenue NW). Katherine Somerville, Director of Programs at the Octagon, will be leading us on an hour-long tour. Ms. Somerville will present the history of change at the Octagon, one of America's finest early residences.
In 1799, wealthy Virginian John Tayloe III, purchased an oddly-shaped lot at the intersection of 18th Street and New York Avenue, a few blocks north of the Potomac River, to build his family an urban home in the new capitol city. Rather than imposing a regular form upon the irregular site, architect Dr. William Thornton (first architect of the U.S. Capitol) designed a house composed of rectangular masses pivoting off a round entry pavilion, an innovative approach that fitted the functional and social needs of one of the wealthiest men in the new nation onto a difficult, if beautiful property. Taut massing and restrained but well-informed detailing mark the house as one of the finest in the Federal Style period. After it opened in 1801, President Madison occupied the Octagon after the White House burned in 1814, and he signed the Treaty of Ghent, ending the war of 1812, in the house. In the second half of the 19th century, the Octagon housed a hospital and an apartment building. In 1899, the Octagon became the headquarters for the American Institute of Architects (AIA). In 1973, the AIA relocated to a larger building just northeast, which was designed around the historic structure. Now operated as an historic site by the AIA, since 1990 the Octagon has undergone several restoration projects.

Mount Vernon is the most replicated building in the United States. Americans slap those spindly white columns onto funeral homes, dry-cleaners, motels, and McMansions. But how and why did George Washington's eccentrically vernacular mansion get translated onto such a wide range of commercial and residential buildings? Over the past 200 years, Mount Vernon has become an iconic architectural image that is flexible enough to serve an astonishing range of building types and functions, political points of view, and understandings of the American past.
Lydia Mattice Brandt is an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina, where she teaches architectural history; the history of American art; and the theory, methods, and practice of historic preservation. This summer, she is a fellow at the Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington, where she is finishing her book on the image of Mount Vernon in popular American architecture and culture.

Washington, DC, may be the United States' official capital, but the northern Virginia area is the covert capital of a secret empire. Anchored at one end on the Pentagon and at the other on CIA headquarters, the area has been profoundly affected in its architecture, culture, and politics by the covert business done there, business which touches every part of the globe.
Join Professor Andrew Friedman of Haverford College for a fascinating discussion of an aspect of the secret world of espionage that you probably never considered: architecture. Afterwards, Professor Friedman will sign his book Covert Capital: Landscapes of Denial and the Making of U.S. Empire in the Suburbs of Northern Virginia, and you can examine photographs from the secret files of the International Spy Museum showing long-gone classified CIA facilities around the Washington area.

For more than one hundred years, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts has worked to promote high artistic standards in the design of national symbols, particularly for the design of Washington, DC. The most visible— and controversial—part of the Commission's work has been the design of national memorials in the heart of the city's monumental core. Reflecting aesthetic, cultural, and political trends, the memorials reveal a larger perspective about Americans and the presentation of the country's history in built form. Commission of Fine Arts Secretary Thomas Luebke will present this story of art, planning, and politics as explored in his recent book Civic Art: A Centennial History of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts. There will be a limited number of books for sale at the lecture.
Thomas Luebke has served as Secretary of the U. S. Commission of Fine Arts, the federal design review agency for the nation's capital, since 2005. He is an architect with over twenty years' experience in design, planning, and historic preservation in both public and private sectors and was the design leader in the development of the 2009 Monumental Core Framework Plan for Washington, D.C. He is the editor of the 2013 book Civic Art: A Centennial History of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts.
Art, Planning and Politics: The Work of the Commission of Fine Arts
Lecture by Thomas Luebke, FAIA
September 23
November 11, 2018 will mark the centennial of the Armistice ending the Great War. In its aftermath, the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) was established to enhance the overseas military cemeteries for the fallen and erect memorials to the combat accomplishments of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF). Just as the events of World War I are largely forgotten by the American public, the original commemorative program of the ABMC has been overshadowed by its massive World War II American cemeteries in places like Normandy.
Initially the War Department established eight World War I cemeteries in France, England, and Belgium. ABMC was created in 1923 to improve these cemeteries and manage an ambitious program of overseas monument building. Paul P. Cret became their consulting architect and subsequently guided every aspect of the AMBC construction program. Cret brought in an impressive roster of his architectural contemporaries, including John Russell Pope, Ralph Adams Cram, and George Howe. The architecture and landscapes of the ABMC display a sophisticated Beaux Arts approach, with the Art Moderne, Neoclassical, or Gothic Revival details and forms that characterized some of the best civic architecture of the 1920s and 30s. This lecture will examine overseas military cemetery policy after World War I, the social and political role of the ABMC sites in creating a public memory of the war, and design practices and ideals of the time.
Lisa Pfueller Davidson, Ph.D., is a historian with Heritage Documentation Programs of the National Park Service. Her work on ABMC is part of a multi-year documentation effort by ABMC and the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) leading up to the World War I Centennial.

Located in the Brookeville Historic District in Montgomery County, Madison House is the oldest and arguably the most significant structure in this once bustling market town founded by local Quakers. The house was erected ca. 1798 as the residence and store of Caleb Bentley and is a vernacular expression of the Federal style. It is elegantly understated and includes many architectural refinements, yet as originally planned it lacked the formality common to other houses in the region constructed both for families of middling status and the more affluent. Madison House was later altered and expanded to conform to rising and more rigidly defined middle-class expectations, providing a case study for the evolving use of domestic space as it related to gentility and class formation in the early nineteenth century.
Madison House also holds a significant place in the history of the War of 1812. Its present name originated with its use in 1814 as a place of refuge by President James Madison and others fleeing Washington when the British invaded and set fire to the city. The careful stewardship of Madison House was recognized in 2012 when it received the Washington Post award for best historic rehabilitation.
Sandy Heiler, homeowner and Vice Chairman, Montgomery County Historic Preservation Commission, and Catherine Lavoie, Chief, Historic American Buildings Survey, will lead the tour. Guidebooks for a short self-guided walking tour of the Brookeville Historic District will also be made available.

A little over two years ago, when our now-good-friend Deena did an NPR piece about United Noshes, someone in New Zealand noticed and I did a phone interview on Radio NZ. I promised that when we got to their country, I'd get back in touch. And I did! We did a fun bit where they had listeners send in advice through social media of what to cook, which we chatted through live on the radio. So what do Kiwis eat? Well, lamb, of course, since that's what they raise a ton of for wool and meat alike. Otherwise it's in large part based on traditional English foods like sweet and savory pastries, with a growing influence of fresher Mediterranean flavors, blended with some indigenous influences like sweet potato.
Joining us on a cold winter's night for a taste of the other hemisphere were Estel, Sarah, Laura, Patrick, Kal, Julie, Levi, Martha, Karen, and Red. (Oh, and Reba!)
Kiwi dip
While we Americans love our convenience, one thing we really haven't gotten into is canned milk products, so we suffer the inconvenience of a perishable product as the base for our otherwise dead-simple French onion dip (recipe: mix one packet of onion mix into sour cream; serve). Well, Kiwis have no such aversion, and their reward is no temporal constraint on their ability to whip up the equivalent dip, using a can of what they call reduced cream and what we can find in the States in Hispanic markets or supermarket aisles as media crema. They even gussy it up a bit with a dash of malt vinegar, but since any self-respecting NZer would have that on hand anyway, the extra effort is still less.
It's really tasty. Eat with thick or wavy potato chips, or veggies if you want to pretend you're being at least a little healthy.
Along with the dip, we had ray oysters on the halfshell. They were in homage to, but certainly no replica of, Bluff oysters, a particular species that's found at the southern tip of the South Island. Equally fatty, but much classier.
Mince and cheese pie | Recipe
One Radio NZ listener wrote in that the national dish is really a "$2 mince and cheese pie from the dairy," which in American English means "$1.40 ground beef and cheese hot pocket from the convenience store." So I made one! The all-butter puff pastry crust probably made this a bit fancier than the grab-n-go version, and of course as a whole pie the crust-to-filling ratio was surely off, but otherwise I think this turned out to be a fairly accurate and tasty replica. Speaking of, "tasty cheese" is apparently what Aussies and Kiwis call what we'd think of as sharp cheddar cheese, to the extent that you can refer to "tasty and crackers" and people will apparently know what you mean.
Watties sauce | Recipes
It seems that Watties is to NZ what Heinz is to the US, the universal tomato condiment. Watties is apparently a little runnier, a little sweeter, and a little more spiced — it's known as tomato sauce, not ketchup. Not finding any here, I made my own, with frozen pureed tomatoes from last year's harvest. The recipe I followed had a shocking amount of allspice, so I cut back quite a bit and even then it was pretty strong. It was pretty good, but unless you have a strong reason to recreate the flavor of the original (like, if you have an around-the-world cooking project or are really trying to impress a Kiwi), you may as well just make do with ketchup.
Lamb with mint sauce | Recipe for mint sauce
There's about seven sheep for every New Zealander — and that's down from twenty a few decades ago! — and accordingly, those Radio NZ listeners made very clear that lamb was required on our table. It seems that the classic version, fit for a feast, is a roast leg, whether in a classic austere British style, or enlivened by garlic and herbs; the latter's what I chose to do. I got a whole leg (bone in, including the shank), studded it with garlic and rosemary, and let it cook for hours. I also whipped up some mint sauce with a splash of malt vinegar, two ingredients that contrast nicely.
The lamb was good, but not great, kind of a disappointment given the quality and expense of the meat. I mean, we all enjoyed it, but I was hoping it'd be something more.
Minty peas | Recipe
Mint again! Green peas, green onions, and mint made for a vibrant hint of sunnier days. Easy to throw together, tasty, and decently healthy.
Kaanga waru | Steamed sweet potato and corn pudding |Recipe
To properly represent the cuisine of the Māori, the indigenous Polynesians who predated the British, I ought to have done a hangi. But that would have required digging a pit in the yard, superheating rocks in an adjacent fire, quickly moving said rocks into the pit, lowering in sackcloth-enrobed bunch of meat plus veggies, and covering the whole thing with soil for several hours. Even if I had all the space and time, it seems that watching a few YouTube videos isn't enough, that without having learned from others you risk making a muddy, undercooked mess of it all. Time for plan B.
Several listeners suggested that our meal include kumara, which as the sound of the name suggests is also a Māori food; Americans know it as sweet potato. While kumara is quite common around NZ, this dish is Māori through and through, though the cooking technique and most of the ingredients come from the British! It's a dense loaf of shredded kumara, cornmeal, flour, sugar, milk and butter, steamed in a cheesecloth. It's dense, and it's really pretty tasty.
Pavlova | Baked meringue with fruit | Recipe
Aussies and Kiwis may argue about who owns the "pav," but history is on New Zealand's side; while it grew very popular in Australia, it first took form in Wellington during the tour of the ballerina Anna Pavlova, who was described as dancing as if she were lighter than air.
A pav is a marvel of kitchen chemistry, starting with the goop of some egg whites and ending with a magical, etherial mass that's crisp on the outside and chewy like a marshmallow on the inside, all thanks to a ton of beating and strategic addition of sugar, cornstarch, and an acid. Once the science is over, the art begins: the pavlova is a blank canvas for decoration with fruit to your heart's and eye's desire. Of course, ours had kiwifruit!

MATTO in Italian means crazy or mad. It is also the name of the latest trendy Italian restaurant in Shanghai. It is the creation of Yenn Wong, the mastermind behind the JIA Boutique Hotels. Apart from the food which is amazing (and recently awarded!) it is famous for it's design style. Darryl Goveas is the director of Pure Creative International and he did not treat this 253sqm interior space like any usual pizza restaurant . Instead he addressed it with eclectic modernity, combinig industrial materials with rustic, raw materials and European-style details. Belissimo!

Have a look at this fabulous hotel in Mykonos. Andronikos Hotel is designed by KLab Architecture and it's Cocoon rooms are fluid forms and organic curves that we often see in the local architecture. The concept was to create a relaxing space and a calm refuge for the lucky guests. Elements like pebbles on the floor and bamboo accents were really clever and a nice way to mix the traditional architecture with the modern style. I seriously think this is one of the most beautiful hotels in Greece!

Australian March Studio designed this Melbourne bakery. The concept was an oversized breadbasket.
The undulating wooden plywood forms that cover the wall and ceiling of the shop function as shelves for storing and displaying breads.
The central wooden counter is conceived of as a giant chopping board. It has integrated pockets for scales, crumb trays, knife holders and POS terminals. Everything has a place on this working bench.
Oh how I love the texture of this rough wall! It balance greatly with all that wood work on the other side.

Southwest Washington, 4-Oct-2013/
Having spent our last night in Kelso, we decided to swing through Cape Disappointment State Park again to see some of the things we missed the first time through, after which we went home.
Unlike the previous morning, there were a lot of teens in the breakfast area. We didn't have problems finding a table, fortunately. I walked by one guy who was having chocolate cream pie for breakfast. I thought to myself that it looked like a good choice.
We packed up and checked out, and while we were putting the last things into the car, the kids were piling into their bus. We made a quick exit.
It was pretty foggy as we headed out, and by the time we got to the Lewis and Clark Bridge, we couldn't see its top, let alone across the river. As we continued on US 30, the fog continued to get thicker, to the point where we could only see a few car-lengths ahead. We went over one rise, and suddenly everything cleared up and we were looking at blue sky with a scattering of clouds.
Eventually we made it back to Washington and to Cape Disappointment, and headed directly towards the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center. On the way, there was a worker using a leaf blower on the road, which seems kind of strange for a large state park. Guess he was just clearing near the parking lot.
There weren't a lot of cars around as we parked, and the interpretive center was likewise somewhat empty as we got there. We wandered through the exhibits showing the timeline of Lewis and Clark's journey, then went upstairs where, among other things, they had the lens that was originally going to be used at the Cape Disappointment lighthouse, but since the lens was too large, it eventually was put into the North Head lighthouse. Part of the lens was cut out so you could see its insides.
We went out to look at the remains Fort Cambry, which lie underneath the interpretive center. Walking around the center, we took more looks at the jetties at the mouth of the Columbia, then hit the trail to the lighthouse.
The trail to Cape Disappointment lighthouse starts out innocently enough, but we were curious that it kept going down. It curves around Dead Man's Cove, then joins up to the road that connects the Coast Guard station and the lighthouse, so the walk up the road is rather steep. The lighthouse itself is not open for visitors, but you can walk around it, as well as chat with the Coast Guard officer on duty.
We found our way back to the car, and being hungry, set about finding lunch. Melody remembered seeing a pizza place in the park, so we found some reviews of it that said it was pretty good. However, we saw that it was closed as we drove by. Remembering some friends recommended another place nearby, we found directions to it and had a great meal.
It was time to head back home, and we knew we would hit traffic as we got to Tacoma, but since we weren't in a rush we didn't worry about the timing. The early part of the drive was very pretty, going along the Willapa Bay and the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, as well as the sloughs by the Chehalis River. While we weren't in a rush, we were ready to get home; we'll have to go back and spend some time around the area.

There are three windows to the soul of a leader. Deep coaching work will look at all three windows and cultivate an awareness of each. Developing awareness or presence is the most important leadership quality a person can have– whether you're leading a big company, a community organization, a family or your life. So imagine you are walking the streets of a beautiful city… you see all sorts of windows. What do they tell you?
Some are inviting and open, if you went in you would see a lot about the person who lives there. Some windows are closed, behind glass and curtains– but inside are people's lives– their homes. Some windows are simple, some are fancy, some are bright and some are faded.
The window is an opportunity to pay attention to the flow of energy, intention and connection to others. This is also true for the windows into our deepest self. Leaders are called to know their authentic self and contribute from that place. So what windows do we look in? Where do we direct our attention?
Window 1: Language– Our thoughts, what we say quietly to ourselves, or out loud to others.
Window 2: Emotions– What is visiting? Fear, anger, sadness, tenderness, joy, love, hope, guilt, shame, compassion?
Window 3: Body– Our physical being. Can we find our center? Are we open, balanced, flexible and strong?
Stop for a moment and look inside one of these windows for yourself. What have you been saying to yourself or others today? What are your thoughts? Breathing deeper, into your heart… What emotions are visiting you today? Breathing to your core…What is your body's wisdom? Where is your body tight, tense, peaceful, or light?
Open up a window today, throw back the curtains and just observe for a moment. You may see the beauty of these windows and the life that resides inside and out.

Manchester City star Fernandinho revealed as the player allegedly involved in Lionel Messi dressing room spat
Tensions flared between the Brazilian and the Argentine who will meet again in World Cup qualifying next week
LIONEL MESSI was involved in an astonishing tunnel bust-up after Barcelona's 3-1 loss at Man City last night.
Argentina team-mate Sergio Aguero was forced into the role of peacemaker in a spat between Messi and a City player, who Brazilian media outlet Globoesporte have now revealed to be Fernandinho.
The Brazilian reportedly insulted Messi after the match, which made the Ballon d'Or winner lose his temper in the tunnel.
According to Spanish radio station Cope, he shouted at Fernandinho: "Stupid, come here and show your face, don't hide!"
And the altercation didn't end there as Messi later entered the Man City dressing room with Barcelona delegate Carles Nadal to seek an explanation.
After the match, Aguero said of the incident: "Nothing happened. I didn't hear [the incident] very well. I saw Messi was irritated but he didn't say anything to me. Afterwards we talked about other things."
Tensions between Messi and Fernandinho will be reignited next week when Argentina travel to Belo Horizonte to take on Brazil in a crucial World Cup qualifier.
Brazil currently top the ten-team qualifying group but Argentina lie 6th with over half the matches played.
Messi's side dropped outside the five qualifying places for Russia yesterday as Chile were awarded a 3-0 win over Bolivia, who fielded an ineligible player.
Sparks would really fly if Fernandinho played a part in Messi missing what will probably be his last chance to win a World Cup.

What is ERCP?
ERCP, or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, examines the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreatic ducts. Bile is an alkaline fluid that aids in digestion of food. Bile ducts funnel bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestines. It is an endoscopic procedure in which an endoscope analyzes the bile ducts for stones, tumors, or narrowed regions. Patients are sedated during the procedure, while an endoscope is inserted into the mouth, and through the esophagus, until it reaches the uppermost part of the small intestine. A catheter is then inserted through the endoscope, and guided into the papilla, a diminutive duct located in between the liver and pancreas. The catheter releases a contrast solution for x-rays that helps gastroenterologists determine how bile ducts are functioning.
Who needs an ERCP?
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a treatment procedure for patients with jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of eyes) stomach/abdominal pain caused by pancreatic or bile duct issues.

myth busting: Answers to Common questions
You can't believe everything you read or hear about marijuana. Unless, of course, you read it here.
Is marijuana safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There are some foods and medicines you can't use while pregnant or breastfeeding because they might harm the baby: the same goes for marijuana. No matter how it's used, if you use marijuana while pregnant or breastfeeding, THC gets passed to your baby. There is no known safe amount of marijuana use while pregnant or breastfeeding.
It's legal, so doesn't that mean it's safe?
Just because marijuana is legal does not make it safe. Using marijuana during pregnancy or while breastfeeding may harm your baby, just like alcohol or tobacco.
It's natural, so doesn't that mean it's safe?
Not all natural substances or plants are safe. Lead, tobacco and poisonous berries are great examples. Marijuana contains THC, which may harm a baby.
What about using it for medical reasons?
A doctor can recommend marijuana in special cases, helping you determine whether the benefits are greater than the risks. It is unsafe to use any medicines while pregnant or breastfeeding that are not recommended by a doctor. Talk to your doctor about safer choices that do not risk harming your baby.
Don't cannabinoids occur naturally in your body?
Some cannabinoids, called endocannabinoids, occur naturally in the body and in breast milk. These endocannabinoids help your nerve cells communicate better. However, THC from marijuana is much stronger than your natural endocannabinoids. THC can upset the natural endocannabinoid system in your body. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should not use marijuana to avoid any risks of THC.
Can I use it to treat my nausea?
The THC in marijuana may harm your baby. Talk to your health care provider about safer options to reduce nausea that do not risk harming your baby.
Is it still harmful if I vape or eat it instead of smoke it?
If you consume marijuana, you are consuming THC, which is passed to your baby and can cause harm.
