Thank you everyone for your concern! It seems I had you all and myself worried for no reason. I did go to the doctor, and she gave me the all-clear. I probably just irritated the muscles with all this new, unaccustomed walking. She suggested ice, ibuprofin and good shoes and cushioning if needed, but by all means, keep on walking. Which is a good thing, because I did before I went to see her. ;)
Not much else to report...have to get READY FOR SPA! Hope to see lots of you there Friday night at the Hilton Bar! (Nora, book that flight yet?)

Crap. Crap. Crap.
First, let me premise my post be saying I am NOT a morning person. Not. So not. It takes me a while to rev up the mental engines. A cup of coffee, a cozy kid-snuggle, some mindless e-mail reading and Raveling and I might be ready to get off the couch. Now, that said, a few weeks ago, in the morning, hubby took the dogs outside for their morning business and Ta-shi wandered up to the back deck where a bag of lovely smelling trash was residing, awaiting removal. I noticed her mad sniffing and oh so apparent desire to tear into said bag, and in a truly Neanderthal-ish and primal move made the physical equivalent to a hefty grunt by kicking the door to startle her from her intended course of action. It took a minute or two, but after walking away I noticed a distinct and sharp pain deep in the ball of my foot. It hurt. Bad. I got my trusty block of frozen spinach used for just such occassions and nursed the foot most of the day. Although I didn't kick that hard, I must have hit it just right. The foot seemed to recover after a day or so and all was well until this morning. Once up from the couch, coffee coursing through my veins, I became obsessed with cleaning and decluttering and after about an hour of such began to feel that foot pain once again. (SEE why i don't clean?) Crap! What have I done? I am sitting here now, foot in the air, imagining a hairline fracture and fretting BECAUSE I CAN'T TAKE THE DOG FOR A WALK. Even with the grey, rainy day, I had every intention. We missed out yesterday (although Chewie got to play for hours with Coco and new friend Rosie, a gorgeous yellow lab pup) and it is so hard to develop a routine that I am freaking out. I'll nurse it a while and see how it feels later. Heck, the threat of loosing my walks could even make me go to the doctor.
In the meantime, paperwork for tax prep and Mr Greenjeans will be my companions.

Of Amanda, Jericho, Greenjeans, and long walks...
First off, I finally made an Amanda hat! Here is my lovely little model and recipient wearing her chapeau...
The only mod was to go down a needle size (I am an average tension knitter) to a size 8 to create a slightly smaller size for the girl. Fits great and she says it is very warm (and soft and cushy, too). Thumbs up, Gina!
Secondly, my Mr. Greenjeans is growing exponentially thanks to a marathon of Jericho.
OMG I love this show. Talk about quality TV -- which we can't often do. The Universal HD channel ran a marathon last weekend of the entire first season and what we couldn't watch or record I watched through on-line streaming at the above link. Seriously -- go watch it. I don't want it to get cancelled! (It was already brought back from the brink once...) This was the perfect pairing of easy knit and intense TV watching. There was no chance of being bored while I purled furiously across the entire inner expense of this sweater while intently watching the denizens of post-apocalyptic Kansas deal with survival and the best and worst it brings out in humans nature. Adding 2.5 inches to the body length had me casting off the body Wednesday morning, and I have now picked up the front ribbing. I am doing this first out of yarn shortage fears. Once this is done, I'll knit the sleeves until I run out. I am confident I'll have at least a 3/4 sleeve out of the rest as I used just a smidge over 2 balls out of four for the body prior to starting the ribbing. I can't believe how quickly this has gone and couldn't be more thrilled.
As for the long walks, I have been converted by Cesar to believe that the key to my puppy's happiness is walks - nice, long, energetic walks. Chewie and I, and sometimes Tashi, have been walking everyday for over a week now (other than during Wednesdays storm -- ICK) and yesterday I drove out our route to calculate the distance. 2.7 miles! As tired as I am, and as much as I hate the cold, I am very excited about this. I'm getting excercise! It doesn't cost anything! And I am already seeing a second digit on the scale I haven't seen in a looong time. I love my puppy.

To frog, or not to frog...
So I have once again managed to mess up my knitting. yup, that old counting thing. I have no idea how, but I seemed to have been off by 10 or more (18??) when counting stitches before separating sleeves for my Mr.Greenjeans/Bluejeans sweater and did so a bit too early. Which means knitting and increasing on the two front edges now for another 21 rows to get to the proper stitch count to proceed for the medium, rip back and add in the missing rows and increases, or continue on as tho I am knitting the small. Now, the thing is, it fits in the shoulders and with the button band, should do so in the bust, as it is now, but is a much more fitted sweater than the design called for, but I think I like it. And, I am trying to get back to the gym and loose weight, plus I need to start taking the puppy for VIGOROUS walks to curb his energy, and I am soo hoping I slim down.... grrrrr -- what to do! I'm just so mad at my distracted self for messing this up. So much for a simple knit. (well, now that I have tried it on for the picture, I like the fit. I'm gonna go with it.)
On another note, I haven't entirely messed this one up yet...
Yes, I finally cast on for an Amanda hat for Rachel. I bought this Malabrigo in the Dusty colorway from a friend a while back, but I was never thrilled with the color, so I overdyed it red. You can see a hint of the original color variation ( a dirty brown over a dusty rose), but not too much. What an easy stitch pattern to memorize! I went down a needle size to make a slightly smaller hat and it looks like this will be just right for the girl. This one should be finished up today.
Thank you all so much for your input on my club plans! I hope to have finalized details very soon. In the mean time, I have a small update planned for this weekend in the etsy shop, so if you are up for some window shopping or otherwise, do take a peek!
Oh! Before I forget! If you are heading to the NETA Spa, there will be a Blogger/Raveler meet-up in the Hilton Bar on FRIDAY EVENING! Let's start the weekend right! I can't wait! I'll even grab a pack of "Hello, my name is... tags that we can put names/blognames. Always good to know!

Google Street View Gets Major, 250K Mile Update
Google on Thursday launched its biggest-ever Street View update, adding 250,000 miles of roads worldwide.
Google expanded Street View coverage in the U.S. and Canada as well as the U.K., Macau, Singapore, Sweden, Thailand, Taiwan, Italy, Denmark, and Norway, Ulf Spitzer, Street View program manager, wrote in a blog post Thursday.
Google also doubled the number of its Street View special collections, which give users a peek into picturesque places like NASA's Kennedy Space Center and California's national parks. Thursday's update adds 360-degree photographic imagery for a number of attractions in South Africa, Japan, Spain, France, Brazil, and Mexico, among others.
Users will now be able to visit places like Catherine Palace and Ferapontov monastery in Russia, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taiwan, Stanley Park in Vancouver, and the "urban jungle" of Singapore's Fort Canning Park without having to leave the comfort of home. Google also added images from inside the Kronborg Castle in Denmark, known around the world from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet.
"Street View … is a useful resource when you're planning a route or looking for a destination, but it can also magically transport you to some of the world's picturesque and culturally significant landmarks," Spitzer wrote.
Google has been regularly expanding its maps product, recently adding panoramic underwater imagery to Google Maps. The Mountain View Web giant also recently ventured to the remote Canadian Arctic in an effort to build the most comprehensive map of the region to date.
Google has been enjoying a wave of good press lately about the comprehensiveness of its maps, ever since Apple ditched Google Maps in iOS 6 in favor of its own flawed mapping solution. Many users are still hoping Google will bring its maps app back to iOS devices, but the Web giant has so far been coy about the issue.

This weeks pick of Extra virgin olive oil researchadmin | July 2, 2011
I try to find the time to scoure the published literature on extra virgin olive oil research each week. Mostly I find that the quality or practical relevance of the research doesn't warrant a review but this week saw a raft of exciting stuff from a wide range of olive related fields – marketing, packaging, fraud identification and health. So here they are in a longer format and a little more commentary and explanation than usual. – RG
207 Ontario consumers were asked how much extra they would hypothetically be willing to pay for extra virgin olive oil based on 1) its country of origin, 2) whether the oil was from a geographically defined area (GI), 3) whether the oil was from a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), and a number of other factors including its organic status. Over 80% of consumers were willing to pay a significant premium ($CAN 7.68-$9.48 per litre) for oils of Italian origin over Spanish or Greek oils (which were not preferred over each other). Over ¾ of respondents preferred organic oils and said they were willing to pay around $CAN8 extra per litre for them – more than that for oils from a geographically defined area. The colour of the oil, and the colour of the glass packaging (clear vs other) did not significantly affect the amount they were willing to pay. Interestingly, while consumers were willing to pay more for GI oils, most of the premium was captured by the country of origin. Lastly, preferences were greatly affected by shopping location. Gourmet food shoppers were willing to pay more for Italian over organic while supermarket and farmers market patrons were the opposite. The preference for Italian over other countries of origin was consistently higher regardless of shopping location.
Menapace et al. (2011) Consumers' preferences for geographical origin labels: evidence from the Canadian olive oil market. European Review of Agricultural Economics Vol 38 (2) (2011) pp. 193–212. doi:10.1093/erae/jbq051
Comment: The authors discuss the well known phenomenon that a persons' stated willingness to pay is usually a gross overestimation of how much they actually do pay when forking out their hard earned cash. So the $ figures stated should be taken with a grain of salt. However the results probably explain why so much extra virgin olive oil from around the Mediterranean is passed off (either explicitly or implicitly) as Italian. Those Italian looking labels and Italian sounding brand names that are actually filled with Spanish Picual have a lot to answer for.
This paper reviews the use of genetic markers that remain in edible oils after processing for authentication purposes. Earlier genetic technologies required that either a large quantity of oil needed to be analysed or that the oil contained a reasonable amount of water soluble material before a sufficient quantity of DNA could be extracted. These issues seem to have been largely resolved with less than 1ml of clean oil now required. While the paper mainly focussed on the more difficult task of distinguishing varietal composition for the purposes of validating PDO status (relevant to about 1 millionth of the total value of the EVOO sector worldwide), it touched on the fact that many genetic markers specific to both olives and other seed crops used to adulterate olive oil have been determined, and these could be used to authenticate extra virgin olive oil.
Agrimonti et al. (2011) The use of food genomics to ensure the traceability of olive oil. Trends in Food Science & Technology, 237-244. doi:10.1016/j.tifs.2011.02.002
Comment: Remember when law enforcement used fairly subjective forms of evidence to prove guilt. Then along came DNA testing. Everything changed. The raft of expensive chemical tests with arbitrary limits currently used to identify adulteration could be made redundant overnight by a good genomic test. It would put an end to arguments about whether a 4% level of campesterol is too high or too low depending on what part of the world you come from or what varieties you grow. If the oil contains genetic material from a plant other than olive then end of story. Convicted as charged!! Testing is about clarity, and ensuring those that adulterate get caught, and (equally importantly) those who's legitimately made olive oils fall outside some arbitrary limit aren't forced to label them as worthless fruit oil.
One volume on Nitrogen gas was pumped through extra virgin olive immediately after decanting and just prior to bottling. This sparging decreased dissolved oxygen in the bottled oil by 55% which resulted in a 1.6meq/kg reduction in peroxide value. Sparged oils contained 10% fewer total flavour volatiles (as expected), but actual sensory differences were not observed.
Masella et al. (2010) Nitrogen stripping to remove dissolved oxygen from extra virgin olive oil. Eur. J. Lipid Sci. Technol. 112, 1389-1392. Doi: 10.1002/ejlt.200900277
Comment: Many EVOO producers believe that their job is done once the oil is sitting in tank. Winemakers have long known that their wine is only as good as how carefully it was bottled (particularly with regard to dissolved oxygen and headspace oxygen), and the stopper that holds it. Lots more work needs to be done on bottling conditions for EVOO so as to extend the period of freshness following bottling. High polyphenols/antioxidants in EVOO are not a universal panacea for long shelf life. I've seen lots of high polyphenol oils that are simultaneously bitter/peppery and horribly rancid. One can only assume that they have been let down by either poor storage conditions, by having high dissolved/total oxygen at bottling, or by packaging that has a high oxygen transfer rate. We all know the appropriate conditions for EVOO storage, but the latter two influences on EVOO shelf life are largely unexplored. This paper is a good start, but optimal sparging conditions for EVOO are yet to be determined.
Firstly some background to the next paper. It is widely believed that the polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil play a major role in its healthfulness. However, a number of studies have found that many of the complex, uniquely EVOO polyphenols are either broken down during digestion into smaller rather unexciting phenolics (that you find in hundreds of everyday foods and beverages), or they do not seem to be absorbed at all. This cracker of a paper takes a close look at this and comes up with some surprising results.
The two most abundant phenolics in EVOO were shown to be resistant to breakdown by stomach acids but were chemically altered to a significant extent after they passed through a segment of intestinal wall. Specifically, the original phenolics were enzymatically reduced (the opposite of oxidised), which allowed them to be subsequently bonded to a specific type of sugar called a glucuronide.
Pinto et al. (2011) Absorption and metabolism of olive oil secoiridoids in the small intestine. British Journal of Nutrition. 105, 1607-1618. Doi: 10.1017/S000711451000526X
Comment: So what does this mean? Well to date, researchers have used specific phenolics in either blood plasma or in urine as markers of the ability of humans to absorb EVOO polyphenols. From this work it appears that they may have been looking for the wrong ones! Most analytical methods are highly specific in their scope, so if you are looking for the wrong thing, then you are most likely not to find anything. In the words of the authors "it seems reasonable that previous human studies aimed at investigating the pharmacokinetics of olive oil secoiridoids (aka polyhenols) may have underestimated the full extent of the absorption" (p 1616).

Food for a Quick Energy Boost
Everyone needs an energy boost from time to time. The mid-morning drag or the post-lunch lull are two prime times when you need an extra jolt. Instead of relying on energy drinks, which can have as much as 35 grams of sugar and anywhere from 80 to 300 milligrams of caffeine, try a healthy and energizing snack that will give you the boost you need.
Fruits and Vegetables
Noshing on nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables can have an immediate impact on your energy level. They contain vitamins, minerals and complex carbs, which will provide quick energy. Apples, bananas and oranges are all easy to carry with you, so you can eat them on the go. Unlike refined sweeteners, the natural sugars in the fruit also help keep your blood sugar stabilized so there's no crashing later on. Fresh veggies are great with low-fat ranch dip, but try it with hummus for added protein, which will help you stay energized longer.
Whole Grains
With lots of fiber and good carbs, whole grains can quickly zap you out of a lull. Whole-grain crackers and pretzels can be eaten just about anywhere for a fast energy boost, and you can even pair them with lean deli meat, like turkey, for added protein. Popcorn, another whole grain, is low-fat, low in calories and high in energizing fiber. Plus, it has lots of volume, so it will help keep hunger pains away. You can buy popcorn in single serving sizes, too, so you don't have to worry about overeating.
Nuts are full of healthy fats and omega-3s, which will give you fast energy and keep you feeling full longer. However, they are higher in calories, so if you're watching your weight, be sure to only eat about 1 ounce of nuts, which is the recommended serving size. Almonds, walnuts and pistachios are three of the best choices, according to "Shape" magazine, because they have more vitamin E, omega-3 and potassium, respectively, when compared to other nuts. (Ref 5)
Energy Bars
The name says it all -- energy bars will provide you with a quick shot of energy, but you do have to be careful Most store-bought energy bars are loaded with sugar and preservatives, and while they will give you energy, it's at a price. A better option is to make your own bars using healthy, energy-boosting ingredients. Mix together some overripe bananas with whole-wheat or unbleached flour and oats. Add a little oil, tofu or Greek yogurt for moisture and flavor them up with cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, cranberries, peanut butter or walnuts. Combine your ingredients and bake until the top is brown.

Comfortable behind the scenes at WOUB, Colin Porter is brought into the spotlight
The sounds of a newsroom are familiar to anyone who has spent much time in one.
Yet, it might seem strange to someone visiting for the first time.
There is the discussion of story ideas, the loud conversations about assignments, and the sound of computer keys clicking.
Colin Porter, a jovial junior from Dayton, is at home amidst the organized chaos after spending three years working at WOUB.
"I went to an event during freshman orientation and got involved from there," Porter said.
He currently directs the Newswatch program for WOUB and attempts to avoid being on the opposite side of the camera or microphone.
"I like being behind the scenes," he said.
During a break between classes, Porter came into the newsroom just to check in and see what was happening and spend time talking to others in the newsroom.
Porter is still trying to figure out what to do after graduation.

Jared the Dreamer
"My father worked in the steel mills. His father worked in the steel mills. Ever since my great-grandfather came from Poland to Cleveland in the 1920's, we've always been a blue collar family. But that was before the shutdown of the plant in Lorain when I was a kid. Everyone's dad lost their job, including mine. We struggled on food stamps and welfare for awhile, before my dad found a job as a sales associate, which had lower pay than his union job. Both my parents had to work 12-hour days to put me, my sister and brother through school. They always wanted us to focus on our classes, get a good education so we wouldn't be in their position. I had a part-time job while in high school so I could support my younger siblings. It paid off. I graduated [high school] with honors and now I'm a full time student in college. I'm hoping to get a job that pays enough so my parents don't have to work anymore." #planetathens

Pickup Soccer Unites Students of All Kind
The soccer pitch, whether grass or a number of other surfaces, serves as a home for professional athletes, college students and many others around the world. Wherever one might be, there is always a place for pickup soccer, or pelada, to be played.
I found my "home" in the middle of an open field across from Mill Street Village during move-in day. All I had to do was look for the two soccer nets. There, was a group of 25 students playing the game that so many love. After waiting 15 minutes for the initial two games to end, I joined a team of six other students and started playing my first 7-on-7 soccer game on campus.
Each week during the last semester, I would go to the field to play pickup soccer with my fellow students. Being my first semester at OHIO, I made many of my first friends on the soccer ground. The athletes included a mixture of men and women, who were Caucasian, African-American, Asian, Hispanic and Indian. The game connected all of us together, even if we were not from the same place or spoke the same language. Of course, soccer is a universal language in that way.
Additionally, the sport provides a way for one to forget all other problems in one's life. It can serve as a way to free one's mind or it can just serve as a study break.
In the winter, we take our game to Walter Fieldhouse to play on turf or the Ping Center to play futsal, a version of soccer often played on an indoor court.
Have your cake and eat it too: a bakery goes beyond the sweet stuff
On the sidewalk outside of 8 North Court Street rests a colorful and inviting sign on an easel. It urges a hungry or thirsty passerby to stop inside Fluff Bakery to enjoy one of the daily specials that's written in fluorescent pink and green marker. Driven by my curiosity—and guilty sweet tooth—I couldn't help but take a peek inside during the fall of my freshman year.
I fell in love with Fluff that day. Though I've been there more than a dozen times, I still have a difficult time deciding what exactly I want to order. The clear display cases and shelves tempt me with assortments of cookies, cupcakes, elaborate pastries, cakes and cannolis. I want it all. After I settle on a baked good, I almost always need a cup of coffee to wash it down with. They offer a spectacular array of roasts and flavors from Silver Bridge Coffee; I personally recommend Jamaican Me Crazy, which is infused with caramel, hazelnut and Kahlua.
Fluff Bakery also serves up some tasty breakfast and lunch options. I have yet to try the Fluffhead Sandwich, but I'm a big fan of their BBQ Pork Business Biscuit. Barbecue sauce is not exactly a common condiment on the breakfast table, but this monster of a sandwich left me full until dinnertime. Bonus: the meals are made-to-order, so they're hot every time.
This place is a favorite of mine because everything is reasonably priced and the quality is unbeatable; Fluff sources their ingredients from local suppliers such as Snowville Creamery. The seating is great too—customers can people watch at the bar stools along the window or sit down at a table toward the back of the store if they're looking to snag a quieter study spot.
I highly recommend checking out their Instagram to catch up on daily specials and other promotions, such as Pie Day Friday (free coffee with a slice of their featured pie when it's eaten in-store). But one tip… don't scroll through their pictures when hunger strikes.
The Crystal: All Are Welcome
Come one, come all to a place that doesn't discriminate. Just came from the gym? Perfect. Leaving straight from the library? Even better. Craving some salty late night popcorn? Grab your beer money and stop by one of Athens' gems: The Crystal.
A video by Henry Weber said it best, The Crystal is the number one bar in Athens, Ohio. This may seem like an exaggeration, but there are hundreds of people on campus willing to backup that statement. Whether you refer to it as Stal or Crusty Crystal, to many it's called home.
This establishment might seem like just another hole in the wall, but once you're inside with a $3 drink in hand, it's nearly impossible to have a bad time.
The Crystal works to build a family atmosphere where a familiar face is always just around the corner. This bar attracts such a diverse crowd of people that almost guarantees a run-in with someone you know. It could be a guy who sat behind you in freshman English, a friend you haven't seen since high school, or maybe an old TA who stopped by for a drink. Anything is possible at The Crystal.
As you walk by this bar on a typical Saturday night, large front windows reveal a crowd of people laughing, dancing and seemingly having the time of their lives. I am normally one of those people. Your shoes might stick to the floor when you walk. There's probably a couple making out in the corner. More often than not there's a girl who's had one too many dancing on a table. But I wouldn't want to spend the night (Or day. No discriminating, remember?) with any other group of weirdos.
The Crystal is one of more than twenty bars in Athens, but it will always be number one in my heart.
Lucky's Sports Tavern is hOUme
Upon turning 21 years of age in Athens, Ohio, I discovered an oasis known as Lucky's Sports Tavern. Well…okay. I knew about Lucky's BEFORE I was 21, but that's not the point. Being in OU's Army ROTC program, Lucky's has always been sort of a "right of passage" for cadets. We, of course, are strict about underage drinking, so when we are finally of age, Lucky's is more of an exciting privilege.
When you enter this establishment, it may, at first glance, seem like a typical bar. It is not until you venture there more than a few times that you discover the many aspects you will bond with for the rest of your Bobcat lifetime.
Monday Mug Club
Ah, the infamous Mug Club. You are sitting at the bar. You look up to notice an array of glass beer mugs on the shelf in front of you. Each mug seems to have a little tag with a name or number on it. What is this, you say? Well, Lucky's gives you the wonderful opportunity to pay a small bit of money per semester for a nice beer mug with your name on it. You will get special deals on drinks like $1.75 drafts anytime and $1 shots on Mondays. Speaking of shots, the shot menu is extensive. My friend Spyro and I have made it a goal to get through the entire shot list. They range from names like grape skittle, jet fuel, silk panties, and train wreck.
Infamous Liquor Pitchers
It's Wednesday. A well-known bar day for OU students. $5 liquor pitchers at Lucky's. The place gets packed. Everyone usually has a pitcher of "Lucky's Lemonade," "Electric Lemonade," "Big Red Machine," or one of the other popular liquor drinks to themselves (with about 1,578 straws in each pitcher just in case you have a lot of friends that want to share). Tip: Pour your pitcher into small plastic cups. You don't get all the extra ice and you can finish a pitcher MUCH faster (if you don't mind dying, that is).
The Food
Whether it be the legendary cheese stix or their monthly pizza creations, Lucky's is a great place to spend happy hour. Cheese stix are $.50 on Fridays during happy hour. I personally like their nachos and fried pickles.
The People
Every bar in Athens seems to have a certain crowd. From my observations, Lucky's brings in all sorts of characters. I have seen townies, hipsters, fraternity/sorority guys and girls, and athletes. This, in my opinion, is what makes it the most likeable bar. The employees also make your experience worthwhile. They are very professional and fun. Becoming good friends with the bartenders and bouncers to the point where they know our drink orders and no longer ID us, is a pretty homey feeling, as it would be with any bar. One of the bartenders, Alex, actually came to Vegas with my friends and I.
The Atmosphere
Everyone is always having a good time in Lucky's. As soon as you walk in, there's almost always a crowd playing pool. You're likely to hear the songs "Ignition" by R. Kelly or "Africa" by Toto playing over the juke box. Nobody really seems to care about what music you play, though. Everyone in Lucky's is pretty accepting of your tastes. You could play 15 Taylor Swift songs in a row and be fine.
Check out this video: St. Patty's Day at Lucky's
Overall, Lucky's holds a special place in my heart. The biggest shock to myself is that it is technically the Steelers bar of Athens. There is no other thing in this world that I hate more than the Steelers. I am a diehard Browns fan (sadly). That alone has to say a lot about the greatness of this bar. Lucky's is just legendary. It's tradition. It's home.
I always am keeping up to date on Lucky's Twitter for specials and events: https://twitter.com/luckysst
