Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Tuesday, August 30, 2011
After a week in their cozy $4 plastic bin, we thought it might be best to buy a larger temporary home II for the chicks. It's temporary because Scott really wants to design and build a home from scratch for them….that's LOVE. If you've never ventured into the world of custom chicken coops, be prepared for your mind to be blown. They are extravagant. In fact, I think this guy's home is smaller than these coops. It will take time for the mega mansion coop to be built, so we've bought a coop at a local shop instead.
The chicks love to fly up to the top of the plastic bin and perch right on the ledge.
But since their butt hangs OVER the edge, they tend to poop on my floor. And on shoes.
And then unknowing suspect will put on shoes without looking. Yuck….I know, sometimes shit happens.
The chicks are growing fast! They're beginning to lose their fuzzy baby down and growing soft tiny feathers.
Frenzy Cutie-Pie:
Oreo has the funniest expressions….
And if you hold her just right, she'll fall asleep instantly….like within 10 seconds. I wish my kids would do that at night. Uh, well, I wish *I* could do that at night.
This gal right here?
Does the same thing.
I'm the Chick Whisperer.
We finally named the last two chicks, the boys' best friend named one Starly.
My boys named the biggest chick Olivia Super-Star.
Have my kids been watching porn??! Where'd they get those names!??
Our New Chick Palace
First thing you need to do is to protect the chicks from predators – hawks, coyotes, alligators, extra-large rodents that give me heebie-jeebies, snakes. Friends have told us to dig and create an underground chicken wire barrier. But we just didn't think chicken wire would be strong enough to protect, oh let's say, a panther, from digging under and getting our precious chicks.
So we went with cinderblock. Big, thick, heavy-duty blocks.
Measure, dig, bury and level. The whole thing has to be level so that the chicken coop won't be sitting all wonky and stuff.
Then you lay flat square blocks on top. As your dog stands guard against any of the said predators.
The new Coop Palace sits on top of the blocks.
This isn't the ideal coop for us, but it'll do for now until Scott builds the Coop Mansion.
Line it with pine shavings.
Then it's time to get the chicks and show 'em their new home.
They arrive in a pink limo. Coco::sniff sniff::
"Oh, that looks kinda scary being up so high!"
"Yup….mighty steep!"
It was littlest one, Frenzy Cutie-Pie that was the bravest to venture down the steps. The rest were too chicken.(har..har…har….)
Our Buddha garden statue stands guard. Those scary extra-large rodent forms don't have a chance against the mighty Jolly Garden Buddha!
The next morning, we found THIS in the coop.
A small, hairy spider with a freakish face painted on its back that looks like it's smirking at me. My friends on Twitter and Facebook told me it's a Jumping Spider. I don't like spiders. Apparently this one jumps, has green fangs and is hairy, has 8 eyes and can kill BEES.
train Buddha to keep spiders out of coop, we must.
Those little babies are SO CUTE. Their faces! I just died, so my ghost is finishing typing up these last few words.
Too stinking cute!!
Against my better judgement, I clicked on the spider link. Bugs in the South freak me out!!
ummm…does it bite??? i think i'd be scared of picking up the eggs if they do!
Wow, those coops sure put my grandma's old one to shame. I loved going out there to get eggs with them. Brought back some great memories. You are the chick whisperer! They're so cute! (Last pictured invader excluded!)
Where did you find this coop??
I need a bigger poultry palace! Where can I get a copy of these plans??
You are so, so funny. The chick whisperer. Bwah!!
Love the new digs. Looks pretty snazzy to me.
That spider was scary. I hope he goes away and doesn't come back.
How adorable! I grew up in the country, but my own kids are city kids. For some reason, even though we go to the county fair each year, this is the first year I took them into the barn with the roosters, telling them, "If you've never thought that roosters could be beautiful, you haven't seen THESE roosters!" My 18-year-old grabbed my cam and started taking pic after pic.
What a fun post!The chicks are adorable and I love your photos.Makes me want some chickens too!
Jaden this is such a cute and hilarious post. I cracked up about the porn names. And the pics of the little ones sleeping are so adorable. I wish I could have chickens. I need a farm. I swear I'm living someone else's life. This is not mine. lol
they are so cute. what kind of coop you got? Is it a ready to assemble kit or built from scratch. Some of the agricultural stores sell them, but they cost around $500!
My friend's chick was murdered by a hedgehog. It had bitten the chick's neck and he saw the hedgehog walking away from the crime scene. :s
Hope your chicks keep safe.
I hope my son Luke doesn't see this post–he's begging me for a backyard chicken coop. Um,my backyard is 1/1000th the size of yours. Maybe in our next house
Jaden, I can't wait to see the multi-colored eggs. What breeds are those chickens? XO
Hey there Jaden…your chicks look a tad small to be living all on their lonesome without heat. Though I suppose in Florida you have it naturally. You may want to prepare the boys for the pitfalls of animal/bird stewardship. They die. If all goes well, fabulous. If not, start with about 20 or so next time and that way you can be sure to have at least 10 healthy egg laying "girls" after several months (judging by your photos, probably four or five?). You may want to rethink the whole name thing for the sake of your boys (dare I say it again…animals/birds die…it's just a fact of life…a good lesson to learn, nonetheless). Anyway, it has been fun to read about your adventures. Keep up the good work!-N.
Stinking adorable!! I had chickens for a few years too.. they are pretty easy to take care of once the house is up and running! Enjoy them.. they are only small for a short period of time. But they are quite cool to watch cluck around…
Congratulations on the chicks! When I was young my aunt and uncle next door to us in Cheraw, SC had a good sized chicken coop plus a large enclosed pen. We lived inside the city limits and I guess there were no restrictions about raising poultry in town. I remember we had an egg incubator next to the tool shed behind our garage. All of this brings back happy memories. I know your kids will have fun taking care of the chicks! Thanks for the pics.
Ohhhh they are SO DARN CUTE!!! Found myself smiling as I looked at the pics and read teh captions.
If these are just the temporary quarters, I can't imagine what the decked out mansion will be like! Swimming pool, movie stars?
This was such an interesting post. Thank you! You remind me when I was a kid and talked my dad into getting my sister and I Easter chicks (in the suburbs). They lived in a box in the bathroom until they got white feathers and we took them to a friend's farm. When I asked how they were later, they said the pigs ate them. I think it was human pigs that ate them, but I have no proof….I am still mad about that one.
I can just feel that you — and your boys, especially — are having a grand time.
The new poop coop looks cool. Those chicks are so adorable.
Congratulations! The image of the coop brought back wonderful childhood memories of traveling with my maternal grandparents and visiting relatives in their home states of Tennessee and Mississippi who gave me the early morning chore of feeding the chickens. It was a wonderful experience. I hope you and your family will continue to enjoy them. Thanks for sharing.
wow, what a beautiful post. I love the photos of all the chicks, the all have such fancy feathers. The photos where they are sleeping in your hands is so precious…. it is the kind of picture that warms one's heart.
Congratulations on your chick venture…
OK, I'm amazed. (Love your blog, by the way! Just live a bit inland from you. Welcome to Central Florida!)
Why amazed, you may ask?
1. No one said anything about the boys playing with naked chicks.
2. No one said anything about chickens eating bugs, including spiders.
3. Why did someone think you needed heat for the coop when the birds have been inside in the air conditioning? It's way hotter outside, especially if you're not using the heat lamp any more.
Love the pics of the sleeping baby chicks. Did not love the picture of the big freakish looking hairy spider. Ew, gives me the heebie jeebies. . .
My dear friend Robin is now raising 4 chickens in her back yard. I know she would enjoy seeing this post. I'll tell her about you!
I am still freaked out over that spider!! yikes!
Anyway – Susan was right. I love your coop. We just got our first eggs this week. 2. I'm giddy! I haven't posted about them yet. Too much real life getting in the way of my blogging. ha.
Oh my gosh…you are hysterical, Jaden! Reading this post really brightened my morning!
Oh- and I clicked on the spider links…too creepy, although the the spider at first glance is kind of cute! I have garden/writing spiders big time in my garden. They are really freaky, too!
I just moved on to a farm and chickens are my first thing to get! We have an old shed that needs some major work but that will be a place to start with chickens. Cannot wait, yours are so cute, I am so excited!!

Buzz Cut:
• ObamaCare? What ObamaCare?
• President buys his talking points in bulk
• Bridenstine out in Sooner Senate stakes
• Paul: Bubba's sexcapades were 'violence'
• Why it's better to be a burglar in Sweden
You'd have thought ObamaCare was some piffling little bill, not the presidency-defining, Midterm-wrecking disaster currently strewn across all four lanes of the American political highway like an overturned poultry carrier in a rush-hour ice storm. But President Obama barely found time to mention his law in his State of the Union address for this, the year when it is actually going into effect. Obama was more than 40 minutes into his speech before he even mentioned what he called "insurance reform." Now, political wisdom dictates that one not needlessly remind voters of unhappy events, but the magnitude of ObamaCare and its centrality to his legacy would seem to demand at least a defense of the troubled law. Instead, Obama riffled through his 2012 talking points about uncontroversial provisions, ignored the central aims of the law, skipped his administration's pratfall of a rollout entirely and fudged again on the numbers.
[AP fact-checks the State of the Union address and the GOP response]
We're not mad, we're just disappointed in you - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid boldly predicted in an interview with CNN ahead of the State of the Union speech that Senate Democrats facing tough re-election fights would invite the president to campaign with them. Reid said he would encourage the most vulnerable to get Obama out on the campaign trail. So, how Mark Begich of Alaska, one of the most vulnerable Democratic senators of all? Um, no. Here was Begich's statement, issued before the presidential motorcade could get back down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House: "I was disappointed I didn't hear what Alaskans wanted from the President tonight. While the President delivered a lot of sound bites that may sound good in a speech, we need to hear a clear plan and commitment to economic growth. Specifically, the President missed his chance to talk about national energy security in any meaningful way." So, no Alaskans for Obama rallies this year, then? Maybe for Arkansan Mark Pryor? "Overall, I'm disappointed with the President's State of the Union address because he was heavy on rhetoric, but light on specifics about how we can move our country forward." That's a negatory, good buddy. Similar sentiments issued from Democrats in other states, all offering a plaintive tone about post-peak Obamism.
[Did you see Joe Biden being very Joe Biden-y during the State of the Union? WaPo has a vice-presidential GIF for you if you missed it.]
Lean back - What about Mark Udall, a liberal senator previously though safe in Democrat-leaning Colorado? Reid told CNN he and Obama were heading to Denver soon. Is Udall hitting the hustings with Obama? Well… Udall told the network: "We'll see what the president's schedule is. We'll see what my schedule is. But Coloradans are going to re-elect me based on my record, not the president's record, not what the president's done, but what I've done and how I've stood up for Colorado. That's the case I'm going to make to Coloradans." Gotcha. Sounds like Obama is going to get about as warm a welcome in Colorado as he did in North Carolina.
Nothing to say - Reid was no doubt blowing snow at CNN with his boasts about Obama campaign stops. But that's noteworthy. So is the president's decision to barely deign to mention the law that will define him and this political era. Both Reid's snow job and Obama's sudden forgetfulness serve as evidence of how far out to sea Democrats are on the big issue of this election year. Reid's pledge will haunt his fellow Democrats all year as they jump back from the presence of the embattled president. And Obama's decision to start trying to move past ObamaCare while the law remains a shambles will make him more embattled still.
[Pick Six - The current status quo in Washington depends on Democrats preventing Republicans from gaining six Senate seats in November's midterm elections. With Democrats trying to protect a dozen or so potentially vulnerable seats, which six do you think are the most likely to flip? Based on Fox News First reader e-mails and tweets, the consensus is (in order of times selected): Arkansas, Montana, Louisiana, South Dakota, North Carolina and Alaska. Share your top six picks. Email them – just your top six, please – to email@example.com or tweet @cstirewalt.]

For those of you who live in other countries, how do you feel toward the United States?
Since I don't travel much from my home near Los Angeles, I often wonder how others feel toward America and Americans.

Jan 29 2013: The victory of bringing back peace to people all over the world since only few countries have the power to do so.Yes, I am referring to the defeat of Japan and Germany.You know, my grandma would always say that without the service of the USA people in the Far East during WW2, we would still be in our 'dark ages'.
The world has changed, very much indeed.Going back 50 years ago, I doubt a person like me could have a conversation with a person like you.Thank God for technology.But USA still has the power to bring peace to people all over the world.
The Palestine-Israel issue should be a start I suppose.

Jan 30 2013: Kate,
My hometown is a place named Butterworth in Penang. If you were to google the name of that place, it was once the RAAF base stationed in Malaya.Australians also played a major role during the war (and much more, The Malayan Emergency to name a few) and for that Malaysians are forever thankful for.We see Australia as a 'big brother' to us since we share a long history way back to the colonial days.How could we ever forget that.The memorial still stands at the island's esplanade .From what I see, cooperation was far more important than competition in those days.That I think is something worth taking note.
Feb 1 2013: I am sorry if I've overestimated your country's capability.It is just that Malaysians often see the US intervening in all sorts of international issues that it is somehow stamped in our minds that the US government are capable of doing something about these issues.It is only logic to think that the US government are sure of its capabilities when it wants to intervene in an international issue.
Malaysia is the country I am proud to call home.Our capabilities are small and limited yet we do what we can to give back to the world .People should know that we are a developing nation.There are so many internal issues that we can't afford to intervene in another nation's issues or problems.

How to photograph wine bottles
With the lights this close to the bottle the focal length of the lens is critical to the success of the image. Normal or slightly wide lenses place the camera so close to the subject that controlling the reflection of the camera and studio stand in the bottle becomes an issue. For this set up I used the 150mm f/2.8 APO EX DG OS HSM macro lens made by Sigma. This focal length is perfect. The camera is well back from the set allowing room for working around the set both for adjusting the lighting and for adding to the scene. This lens is incredibly sharp and lens elements are multi-coated- it helps reduce flare from the lights and their reflections in the bottle.

Beyond Kegels: New Pelvic Exercises to Help with Birth and in Bed
Exercising the Pelvic Floor
Whether you're trying to get pregnant, currently expecting, or have a newborn at home, pelvic fitness is vital. You can tone your pelvic floor with these fitness tips:
Finding the Muscles: The key to doing pelvic-floor exercises properly is knowing how to isolate the pubbococcygeal muscles. "I ask women to try and stop their urine flow while they are seated on the toilet," says Dehn. This allows women to identify the circular muscles that make up the pelvic floor around the vagina, urethra, and rectum and more readily isolate them during exercise.
The Kegel: Remember how it felt to stop the flow of urine? Congratulations, you just did a Kegel! Now, you can practice them anytime and anywhere—just be sure you're doing them properly. "It's important to mention that most people do Kegels incorrectly and use the bigger global muscles such as the glutes, hip flexors, and hamstring to do the work," says Mallett. "A true Kegel should be no activation of any other muscles, just the feeling of pulling the pelvic floor up like an elevator."
Start by holding the contraction for three seconds, eventually working your way up to ten seconds, says Dehn. Perform three sets of 10 repetitions to start, working your way up to five sets and then 10 sets.
The Squeeze and Hold: Once you've mastered Kegels, try variations of the exercise. Contract and hold the pelvic floor, but this time, try to bring the muscles up an inch further than before. Hold for a few seconds and slowly release.
The Elevator Kegel: "Imagine your pelvic floor is an elevator with three floors," says Mallett. This elevator will stop at all three floors, pausing and holding at the first two floors for two seconds each and remaining at the third floor for 30 seconds. Then, the elevator will lower once again to the second and first floors, holding for two seconds and then completely relaxing. Don't worry if you can't hold the contraction at the "third floor" for 30 seconds at first—you can gradually build up to this level of difficulty.
Bedroom Practice: Intercourse is a great way to engage your pelvic-floor muscles. You can lift and contract these muscles during sex, helping you get fit and providing some extra pleasure to both you and your partner. Ask your hubby if he feels the pressure when you perform the exercise. It's a foolproof way of developing pelvic-floor activation accuracy.

A program is like a recipe. It contains a list of ingredients (called variables) and a list of directions (called statements) that tell the computer what to do with the variables. The variables can represent numeric data, text, or graphical images.
There are many programming languages -- C, C++, Pascal, BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, and LISP are just a few. These are all high-level languages. One can also write programs in low-level languages called assembly languages, although this is more difficult. Low-level languages are closer to the languageused by a computer, while high-level languages are closer to human languages.
Eventually, every program must be translated into a machine language that the computer can understand. This translation is performed by compilers, interpreters, and assemblers.
When you buy software, you normally buy an executable version of a program. This means that the program is already in machine language -- it has already been compiledand assembled and is ready to execute.
(v) To write programs.

I'm with Stages on this. For a lot of reasons. Blizz didn't want Sandfury Guardian or Grimtotem Spirit Guide tamed in Vanilla WoW, but they didn't take them away, they just made them imposible to feed and therefore completely unusable outside of battlegrounds (they later eased off on the nerf-hammer for both of these). Blizz also didn't want players taming the Black Ravager quest mob or the technicolor warp stalker in Burning Crusade, but Blizz only disabled taming of these and didn't take them away from us. Blizz didn't mean for puddles of green ooze to be tamed in WotLK, but they let us keep them anyhow after making them untamable going forward (and they didn't exactly jump to make it untamable, they waited for multiple patches before acting).
Then a worgen was tameable. Oh noes, the horror! Blizzard jumped all over that in a panicked hurry and fixed it on the next business day after it was reported on WoW Insider, then made the unprecidented move of removing the pet altogether. That's more than just an unintended tamable pet, that's more than something that didn't make sense for the lore. That's damage control; it was interfering with Blizzards future plans for worgens so they had to remove this pet in spite of their prior policies on hunter pet bugs.

Spy Vixen Week - Day #2: Margaret Lee
In fact, skimming her IMDb page gives one the impression that she was European producers' first choice for any and all spy-fi films produced on the continent between 1964 and 1968!
It's no surprise, really, because she was not only gorgeous, but charismatic and charming as well, with sex appeal to spare. And although I've only ever seen her on film with her voice dubbed, she seemed to be a pretty fair actress, too.
It's rather surprising that Eon Productions never tapped her for a Bond film, actually....

Great photo!
Margaret Lee was born in the surprisingly unexotic place of Wolverhampton, England and her real name as Margaret Gwendolyn Box. She moved to Italy and made sword and sandal epics, comedies, eurospy flicks and gialli as well a few British and international things like Circus of Fear and TV's The Protectors.
She was fluent in Italian as well as English and seems to have dubbed herself in many of her films - in Arriva Dorellik she sings an awesome Italo-pop lounge song entitled Crash Sci Sci Patapum and depending on which print you're watching, you can hear her sing it in both Italian and English.
Margaret quit movies in the mid-seventies, made a couple more in the early eighties, but then stopped again. She now either lives in Italy or the UK.

She was considered as Tatiana Romanova in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, the role which eventually made Daniela Bianchi famous...I think Lee lost the pivotal part since they didn't want a british girl for Tania. but Lee deserved to be a Bond Girl

Pandora: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats
Cory is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
After reporting reasonably positive earnings, Pandora's (NYSE: P) share price was smacked down for flat revenue guidance through early 2013. Is one quarter of flat revenue growth a good reason for an 18% plunge, or is this a buy opportunity?
Discussions surrounding dynamic media providers like Pandora and Sirius XM (NASDAQ: SIRI) tend to be overheated and sometimes irrational. I find the best way to cut through the cloud of emotion surrounding a company like this is a SWOT analysis -- exhibiting its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Before getting started it's important to note that Pandora reports a full month later than most other companies.
- Popularity is up. Listener hours are up 67% YOY. Market share of total U.S. radio was 6.55% up from 4.27% in Q3 2011.
- Total mobile revenue was up 112% in Q3 2012, rising to $73.9 million from $34.9 million in Q3 2011. Mobile RPMs, or revenue per 1000 listener hours, was $26.96. Since, Pandora has to pay royalties on every song users listen to, this operating metric is extremely useful for gauging the company's profitability.
- Traditional and satellite radio can not begin to offer the level of targeting that Pandora's unique service provides. Pandora ads are in many ways, an audio version of Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Adwords.
- Near-term macroeconomic fears on behalf of advertisers have prompted them to revise guidance downward. In other words, if advertisers remain cautious heading into the fiscal cliff of doom, the company expects revenue growth will be flat in the quarter ending January 31, 2013.
- Rapidly declining desktop usage is eating away at the modest gains made in mobile. Bigger ad space, bigger keyboards, and perceived security make traditional computer ads far more profitable. Unfortunately, for Pandora, fewer people are using the service on their desktops and notebooks every quarter.
- Mobile monetization is on the rise. 77% of Pandora's usage is on mobile devices. Traditional computer advertising RPMs were $55.18 for the trailing 12-month period ended October 31, 2011. Mobile ad RPMs are rising, but there is still a great deal of upside, provided they find a way to tap into it.
- The Internet Radio Fairness Act would make the royalty rate that Pandora pays for every song its users listen to fall in line with rates paid by satellite providers like SiriusXM. Pandora currently shells out more than half of its revenues on royalties. Even a minor rate adjustment would put the company well in the black.
- Royalty rights organization SoundExchange is waging war on the Internet Radio Fairness Act. It represents high-profile artists that would happily campaign against any congressman that supports the legislation.
- Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is doing its best to launch a service to compete with Pandora. Luckily for Pandora, major US labels are not interested in offering the behemoth royalty rates lower than Pandora's, at least for now.
- Google has recently licensed 5.5 million songs in Europe, and is gunning for Pandora's American users. It's unlikely that content owners will be kinder to Google than Apple, but the rapid spread of Android devices is hard to ignore, even for US record labels.
- SiriusXM is considering a more interactive service that helps expose users to artists they might not of otherwise heard -- the source of Pandora's popularity -- to its paying customers. I know several people who have Sirius subscriptions as a result of new car promotions, spouses, and so on, that regularly listen to Pandora instead. They love the personalized experience Pandora provides. If Sirius can somehow match it, Pandora's problems are just beginning.
Are you bubbling over with rage and excitement yet? That's fine. Take a deep breath, count to ten, then let me know what I missed in the comments section below.

Q&A: Is it normal to have a small bit of spotting during ovulation?
Is it normal to have a small bit of spotting during ovulation?
It can be. The two causes theorized for this are:
1. This time represents a shift from the first half of your cycle to the second, and the hormonal support for the lining of your uterus may be a little shaky during this transition. This would be the most likely cause, if your spotting happens frequently, and possibly indicates an inadequate luteal phase (your doctor can identify this).
2. The actual ovulation may involve a tearing of your ovarian capsule through a small vein, with blood leaking through the tube out toward the vagina. But, this would be extremely infrequent.

MARSHFIELD, WI (WTAQ) - Schools throughout Wisconsin are saving money with Act 10, the law which ended most public union bargaining and made employees pay more toward their health care and retirement.
Marshfield News-Herald media says the school district in that city is paying its lowest amount for teacher salaries since 2008. That's a total of almost $17 million, $1.3 million less than just three years ago.
Marshfield school business director Pat Saucerman said Act 10 does not get all the credit but it's had, "a positive effect on our ability to control costs as we move forward."
School officials and the Marshfield teachers' union are negotiating pay raises -- the only thing that's allowed under Act 10, and the raises cannot be bigger than inflation. This year's hike is limited to 2.07 percent.
The Marshfield district has more young teachers who are generally paid less than their older predecessors.
Thousands of local public employees in Wisconsin retired just before the union law was adopted two years ago. Many feared that Governor Scott Walker would take away their pensions -- something that never happened.

A Letter to My Son in a House Full of Girls
What I want my toddler son to know about growing up with three sisters
It's official! Our fourth (and final) baby is a girl. She's due in May. That means she'll have two older sisters and one big brother. That little guy is on my mind right now. Will it be hard for him to be the only boy in a house full of girls? Everyone else seems to think so. More often than I expected, this is the response from friends when I share the news: "Poor George. All alone." But I don't see it this way at all–I think it might be great.
George is only 19 months old right now so we can't really have the mom-to-son talk that I'd like, but when the time comes, these are all the things I want him to know.
For starters, you have the best smile in the whole world. With that out of the way, and knowing just how biased I am, here's something else: I'm so excited for you.
Rather than the baby of the family, you're going to be a big brother, and I'll tell you that for all the times I longed for a sister growing up, the one thing I craved even more was the security of a older brother. She'll look up to you like no one else.
Like a certain prince in London, you're royalty in this family. Being the only boy means you'll have (a lot of) your own toys and you have the best chance at scoring new clothes, rather than hand-me-downs three times over. But unlike your namesake in the UK, your shopping trips will likely take place at the Carter's outlet, so don't get too excited.
You're already bigger than one of your sisters and with your dad's genes, I'm sure you'll tower over all three by the time you grow up. Around the age of 14, you can expect your sisters to start coming to you for help reaching things, lifting things, opening things, and I hope you'll always see these chances to help as a blessing, one that you carry on later in life. (Just remember how many times those same sisters helped you reach things, lift things and open things when you were a little guy.)
You'll be a gentleman. Yes, this makes me sound like a 99-year-old lady, but I deeply hope you'll learn the art of a great compliment, how surprised a girl will be when you open a door for her and the deep respect women deserve. When you see me developing a new project for work or planting our summer garden, whipping up a tasty breakfast for everyone or carting the whole crew to school and back, I want you to know it's hard work to be your mom. You'll see that my job here requires a lot of cooperation but also how even a pinch of gratitude goes a long way.
Your feelings will be less of a mystery to you. Jane Fonda recently said it best. She's worried about boys growing up in America today. She said their hearts become disconnected from their heads, that it's not safe for them otherwise, and this is what's leading to all the wrong stuff: drinking, drugs, bullying and even violence. That's not for you. Your sisters will see to it that we all talk about how we feel, what we want to do about it and how to grow from each experience. This will happen more often than you'd like, so brace yourself now. And also know that if they don't take it quite that far, you can be sure I will.
Cooking won't be a foreign concept. No one growing up in this house will leave without a dozen dishes he or she can whip up with confidence. This doesn't mean you have to become a chef or even a stay-at-home dad. You just need to know how to take care of yourself, to be a blessing to friends, roommates and a potential partner of your own someday. (Trust me, I would've married your dad even sooner if he had a few tasty recipes in his repertoire.)
You'll know how to treat girls. With humor but not at their expense, with kindness without being condescending, with affection without being pushy, with the ease that only someone who grew up around women has.
But above all, you'll be a man. Like your dad, I hope you will know how to find work you love, something you were born to do, and be successful with it. If you inherit his wanderlust, you'll go on adventures but always feel content to come home, knowing that you were also born to love, to connect, to be part of something bigger than yourself.
That's what I hope all these years with these girls will teach you–that you are strong, that you are unique, that you are loved.

Cartoonist Saul Steinberg will always be associated with his 1976 drawing, "View of the World from 9th Avenue." His satiric map foregrounds the buildings of 9th and 10th avenues and looks outward across the Hudson River to a thin strip labeled "Jersey," fading into a few bumps of the American West, a perfunctory Pacific Ocean, and in the distance, hints of China, Japan, and Russia. It was widely read as a smirking depiction of cosmopolitan self-centeredness.
But reading Deirdre Bair's "Saul Steinberg: A Biography," we learn that this interpretation was at odds with Steinberg's somber intent. He had not drawn the luxurious parts of Manhattan, but the working-class neighborhoods, and his subject was American provincialism and disconnectedness, not urban smug self-satisfaction. This is just one of the many fresh revelations in this comprehensive and engaging biography.

A Publication of the National Association of Manufacturers
November 13, 2012
Before we could fully process the outcome of last week's election, policymakers and financial markets began to focus immediately on the looming fiscal cliff. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over three percent between its closes on Tuesday and Friday, and the Congressional Budget Office reiterated its forecast that the United States would fall back into a recession if lawmakers fail to avert the fiscal cliff. For their part, both President Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) spoke of a possible compromise post-election, with Speaker Boehner open to "new revenues" stemming from tax reform and the President eager to work with Congress while also restating his desire for a "balanced approach" to reducing the deficit. Manufacturers will be watching these developments closely, as the uncertain business and political environment has dampened economic growth of late. For example, the number of manufacturing job postings in September fell for the fourth straight month.
Economic challenges are not limited to the United States, with European woes once again coming into focus. September's industrial production figures released last week were lower in Spain (down 7.0 percent), France (down 2.7 percent), Germany (down 1.8 percent), the United Kingdom (down 1.8 percent) and Italy (down 1.5 percent). Other data also indicate that economic activity in the Eurozone deteriorated, with higher unemployment, a contracting Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) and lower retail sales. Eurozone GDP figures will be released on Thursday and are expected to be down roughly 0.3 percent.
Despite significant headwinds in the United States and Europe, manufacturers increased exports in September. Goods exports rose to $134.0 billion - an all-time high - and the overall trade deficit narrowed to $41.5 billion. The gain stemmed from both petroleum and nonpetroleum exports, with many regions around the world increasing trade. (Exports to Europe were flat for the month.) Manufactured goods exports rose 6.1 percent year-over-year. Recent progress on the trade front can be attributed to some improvements (even among definite weaknesses) globally. For instance, industrial production in China edged higher (up 9.6 percent year-over-year), its highest level since May. This follows better (but still contracting) PMI data out earlier in the month.
New U.S. industrial production data on Friday should show modest growth for the second month in a row. In addition, regional manufacturing surveys from the New York and Philadelphia Federal Reserve Banks will be released on Thursday. Both improved in October, although the Empire State survey still contracted. It will be interesting to see if the data reflect continued gains. Other highlights for this week include consumer and producer prices, retail sales and small business optimism.

Consumer Credit
Nonrevolving credit lines - which include auto and student loans - increased 9.2 percent in September, or 6.6 percent for the third quarter. It rose from $1.8709 trillion to $1.8852 trillion for the month. This continues an upward trend in nonrevolving loans over the past three years. Much of this has been in the student loan category, which the federal government now administers. Higher auto loans have also helped to prop up the motor vehicle sector.
Meanwhile, revolving loans - which include credit cards and other credit lines - fell 4.1 percent in September, or down 1.6 percent for the third quarter. It decreased from $854.9 billion to $852.0 billion for the month, which suggests that consumers scaled back their credit lines over the past few months. This contrasts from recent data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which found that Americans increased their personal spending in September, reducing the savings rate to 3.3 percent. Spending growth that exceeded income growth contributed to the falling savings rate.
International Trade
However, even with global economic headwinds, September's figures reflect stronger growth, following August's significant slowdown. The increase in goods exports was split between petroleum and nonpetroleum sources. Petroleum exports were higher, up from $9.0 billion to $11.2 billion; meanwhile, nonpetroleum exports rose from $118.2 billion to $121.4 billion. The petroleum trade balance shrunk from $23.5 billion to $21.7 billion. The nonpetroleum goods trade balance widened from $34.9 billion to $35.2 billion, mostly on higher imports.
More specifically, total goods exports were higher for the month in the following categories: industrial supplies and materials (up $3.4 billion); foods, feeds and beverages (up $1.1 billion); consumer goods (up $487 million); and capital goods, except automotive (up $432 million). The only major category to see declining exports was motor vehicles and parts (down $289 million).
These were the same groupings that also experienced increased goods imports. The largest increase in goods imports came from consumer goods (up $2.7 billion). The following sectors also saw gains: industrial supplies and materials (up $1.2 billion); capital goods, except automotive (up $586 million); and foods, feeds and beverages (up $92 million). Automotive imports declined by $854 million.
Looking at data that is not seasonally adjusted, manufactured goods exports continue to be higher year-to-date this year than last. Year-to-date manufactured goods total $765.7 billion, or 6.1 percent higher than over the same time period in 2011.
On a country-by-country basis, there were monthly export gains seen in South and Central America (up $648 million, not seasonally adjusted), Africa (up $518 million), OPEC nations (up $384 million) and the Pacific Rim (up $339 million). Chinese goods exports rose from $8.6 billion to $8.8 billion. European Union goods exports ($21.3 billion) were essentially flat for the month, up by just $8 million. Within Europe, however, there were some positives, with higher exports made to Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. Weaker exports to Europe were observed going to Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Spain.
Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey
Hiring is also lower, down from 270,000 in June to 230,000 in August to 226,000 in September. These losses appear to be in both durable and nondurable goods sectors. At the same time, separations - which include layoffs, quits and retirements - also fell from 250,000 in August to 239,000 in September. This suggests that net hiring has turned negative for two months in a row, albeit less so than in August. Net separations were 20,000 in August and 13,000 in September.
A similar story could be told using data for the larger economy. Total job openings declined from 3,661,000 in August to 3,561,000 in September. The only major sectors with increased postings in September were retail trade and health care. Hiring and separation levels were also lower. However, net hiring (or hiring minus separations) increased from 85,000 in August to 161,000 in September. This presents something of a silver lining, even as it is clear that the hiring rate eased.
University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey
The forward-looking component increased from 79.0 to 80.8, suggesting that consumers remain cautiously optimistic about the coming months. Overall, the data are consistent with rising retail sales and personal spending numbers. They also imply that consumers are less concerned about the fiscal cliff than either policymakers or business leaders are. However, this might change, particularly if the political wrangling for a compromise to avert the fiscal cliff becomes contentious. For now, higher consumer sentiment and durable and nondurable goods spending benefit manufacturers.
Inflationary expectations have eased somewhat over the past few months. In August, consumers expected prices to rise 3.6 percent over the next 12 months; that has fallen to 3.0 percent in November. This suggests modest inflationary pressures, with lower energy costs pushing anticipated prices lower for three straight months.
Wholesale Trade
Overall, these numbers suggest fairly broad-based improvements in both sales and inventories in September. Sales have improved from earlier declines between May and June. Year-over-year sales growth is up 4.4 percent, led by the nondurable sectors of farm products (up 18.5 percent) and petroleum (up 13.1 percent). Among durable goods sectors, automotive (up 19.4 percent) and lumber (up 12.9 percent) showed the largest sales growth over the past 12 months.

Relaxing quiet getaway!
Beautiful, clean, serene studio that I wouldn't mind staying at again!! The owners were great, check in was super easy and they made some great recommendations for where to eat in the area. This is a great place to go to just relax and kick back. We had my 3 year old daughter and she loved all the sights and sounds of the lake and the woods. We did some sight seeing in the area like the Claws N Paws animal park too. The studio has a well stocked kitchen with pots, pans, plates, etc. The bathroom was large and spacious. There is a tv with cable hook and even WIFI available, though I didn't need it because my cell phone(VZW) worked great up there. My daughter didn't want to leave because she said she's going to miss her new friend Mr Ducky, which is actually the resident swan of the lake. Overall, a great time and at a great place!
A great spot for gathering!
Our group of friends gathered for a week to rest and relax together. We had one dog, 2 kids, 4 adults, our bicycles and lots of food. This home provided a perfect location to cook, enjoy nature and unwind! The kids loved the game room upstairs with the pool table, TV and assortment of video game systems. We did find a game that they could play rated for everyone on the beautiful TV. The hot tub was nice and hot at 103 and had just been cleaned before we arrived. We enjoyed the towns of Hawley and Honesdale for a change from the biking which we did along the road behind the home and in Hawley to the waterfall. Pros: Beautiful location and home with lots of room for gathering. There were enough pots and pans for our group to make a variety of food. We also enjoyed the grill. Michael was very attentive to problems like low paper products while we were there. Great hiking and biking in the area even for people with restricted ability. Cons: The week lease was actually for 141 hours of the 168 hour week, 7 partial days with 6 nights. Notes for renters: If your group is larger than 6 you might want to bring extra plates and utensils. Also because of the tick problem in PA over the summer, we had to check the dog carefully each time we returned to the house even if she just sat on the back porch so we did not get to enjoy a fire. If you go to Honesdale try the Trackside Grill for interesting pictures of the town and history and Days Bakery! Overall we had a wonderful time!
Comfortable stay.
Our family was very happy with this Hawley apartment. It was clean and cozy and centrally located. We could walk to the local diner and enjoy a stroll along the River Trail. Because we were busy visiting with friends and family, we didn't get to enjoy the lovely terrace but will definitely fire up the outdoor grill on our next visit.

In particular, I want to celebrate "Sons of Anarchy," FX Network's bloodthirsty and brilliant drama series about a motorcycle gang.

On the contrary, I count myself among those viewers who stew about the excess of violence on TV. Almost...

I live in these I started wearing these on business trips to keep my feet from swelling on long flights. After receiving advice to wear compression sox for my arthritic feet, I began wearing them every day. They are great and serve to keep my arthritis manageable.. September 15, 2014
Can't get the odd smell out Nice socks but they came smelling odd like bug spray and we can't get the smell out no matter what we do. September 8, 2014
Would fit a giant I wear a woman's size 6 shoe, so I bought the small. These socks came up over my knee completely and were almost three inches too long in the foot! August 22, 2014
Very attractive way to reduce DVT risk I like these more than the prior pair I bought from another source. These are more attractive and easier to put on, but equally tight. June 9, 2010
comfortable support I love these socks. I work on concrete floors and have worn them often to work. I bought them for travel, but find them so comfortable that I wear them all of the time. They keep my legs from aching after a long day on my feet. I also was amazed after my last transAtlantic flight how I had no swelling or discomfort. You can find cheaper, but the cheap ones are not as high a quality of sock. These are worth the money. March 19, 2010
Travel Sox My husband is on a trip, the first since receiving these. He was impressed with the quality, and felt they would be as comfortable as the prescription socks. He was very impressed with the affordability of them. We got 3 pair for less than one of the others. Will update you to his reaction, but, so far so good. March 29, 2010
Very good dress sox Very good dress sox even if not traveling. I have bought and rebought these sox and find them to be excellent. RABrig June 9, 2010
Comfortable These socks are comfortable and I own about 10 pair of various designs of TravelSmith's compression sox. They do tend to shrink slightly after washing, but still wearable. I tried the next larger size recommended and they're slightly big, but also wearable ... I am on the edge of the sizing between small and medium, so both work. But, I really like them ... make my legs feel great. . January 22, 2014

Start planning now for Christmas
Do you want to save this article to read later? You need to be signed in for this feature
Did you spend too much on Christmas 2011? If you don't want to repeat your mistake this year, start planning now.
I reckon you should start planning for Christmas 2012 right now. In January.
Here are three things to focus on now:
1. Think about who you want to give to
Draw up a list now of all the people you're likely to want to buy a present for in December. Then think about how much you want to spend in total on presents. Write all this information down.
Now that you've set budget targets for your Christmas spending, you'll be less likely to go mad making expensive impulse purchases in the run-up to the big day.
In fact, budgeting is a great strategy for controlling all your spending, not just for Christmas. One of the best budgeting tools out there is lovemoney.com's MoneyTrack tool.
2. Buy a present a month
You can spread out the cost of Christmas by buying presents gradually through the year. Just keep an eye on your total Christmas budget and don't spend too much on the presents.
You don't have to stick rigidly to the 'one present a month' rule. If you spot an amazing bargain at some point, then fine, snap it up! As long as you stay within your overall budget. (And yes, if you need to buy more than 12 presents, you'll need to buy more than a present than a month!)
3. Save up for your food
Of course, you'll have to buy most of your food in December, so it also makes sense to save up throughout the year.
Pay your money into a regular savings account and you could get as much as 5% a year on what you save. Principality Building Society is offering a Christmas Regular Saver Bond which pays 5.02% AER a year. You have to pay in a minimum of £20 a month and you'll get all your money back on November 29th.
More: Get a 0% overdraft | Average Brit only has £98 to spare at end of the month

Absolutely fantastic. Calvin is talented as a photographer, digital artist and instructor. And it's a bonus that he sounds like The Terminator! ;-)
Putting a photo of your subject on a different background (compositing) does not have to be painstaking work, nor does it require any expensive plugins or additional filters. Join Calvin Hollywood, German photographer known the world over for his stunning portraits, as he takes you from the studio to the desktop and shows you, step by step, how to create a realistic composited image that tells a story in less time than you think.
Get instant access to this course & more
Calvin introduces himself and talks about what he will be covering in the course
Calvin explains his studio set up, the reasons behind background choices and prop placement, and the importance of having a team.
Details matter when it comes to compositing - especially when you're telling a story. Making the clothes, hair and makeup match the final vision.
Calvin shares his camera settings and white balance to achieve the depth of field and look he's going after. Plus, find out why tethered shooting is important in composite shots.
The story Calvin created for his portrait unfolds as he shoots to capture both the vision and the details of his story via technique and art direction.
You are in the studio, you got the shot, but why not take advantage of the situation to fire off some different shots to experiment with later?
You do not necessarily need the whole scene. Calvin explores the space around the studio to find textures for his composited background and to add to his personal library for a multitude of uses.
Calvin takes you through his Raw Conversion process. Your process may vary but here is what works for him in order to create his composite.
Remember the importance of details from he shoot? Calvin converts his photo to bring out the most in his picture.
If the importance of details has not hit home yet, Calvin drives it there with his freaky amazing detail (FAD) technique.
Since it is not a beauty shot, a quick retouch with the healing brush is pretty much all you need.
The reason behind Calvins choice of background during the shoot comes to light as he begins to build his composited shot without losing his original shadows.
Using a wall texture from lesson 7, Calvin shows exactly how textures can become whatever to need them to become.
Calvin shares the simplest aspect of his workflow that affects 99% of all his work - vignettes.
Experimenting with gradients, contrast and selective color to set the tone of the picture.
Calvin adds an amazing light-and-shadows effect to the composited photo with a picture of a grate from his textures library.
The artistry of Calvins workflow emerges as he adds his finishing touches freestyle, encouraging you to do the same in your projects.
Calvin goes over the entire lesson and gives a quick recap that will have you clicking on your own composites while muttering, Before. After. Before. After. in no time.
Absolutely fantastic. Calvin is talented as a photographer, digital artist and instructor. And it's a bonus that he sounds like The Terminator! ;-)
The most wonderful tutorial I have ever done, Calvin has so much insight about composition, design and photograpy I am just bown away, No worries about posting my feedback. Pat Robards Australia
love his techniques. more please!!
This is the second course I've taken by Calvin. More helpful than probably anything I've ever seen, both of them. Really really great.
This was an excellent course! To be honest, my interest is still life but the techniques taught in this course were wonderfully generalisable. I also learned a few miscellaneous photoshop tips that will be useful in a host of different situations. The only suggestion is that it would be helpful to know which version of photoshop was being used. It may be the case that some steps and techniques are redundant with the advent of CS6 and better raw conversion.
Calvin is one of the best instructors I have ever seen!! I love his tutorials!
Absolutely totally inspiring. I have a number photo shots that I have been working with, but after this course I will go back and redo all of them. I love Calvin's way of working/instructing on two levels at the same time. He both adds hi level skill techniques at the same time as he repeats basic steps. Thanks to this it is impossible to get lost when following step by step. Now, step 1: applying my new knowledge on old shots. Then step 2: Follow all the other courses done by Calvin. That's all from Sweden for now..
Great course!
This is an awesome course! i like all of Calvin's courses as he explains techniques in a very simple way.
Thank you...You were a great instructor and I learned some really useful techniques and ways to use Photoshop.
Loved this course. Calvin is great and has a terrific ability to explain these techniques. I enjoyed his sense of humour and enthusiasm. Very friendly style. His knowledge is amazing!
hi Calvin, you are a great photographer. On top of that you have an outstanding knowledge of the Photoshop features. Thank you for teaching me which ones are important and which ones not. It must have been hard work to get this far. Your language and grammar is perfect, don't worry. Love Tuva, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Good course, thanks!

Fishers remembered in ceremony
The 30th annual Blessing of the Fleet was held on the sawtooth dock in Blaine's commercial marina last Sunday, a day when Blaine's little piece of the Pacific Ocean looked as pleasant and inviting as a small town front yard on a sunny day, as if nothing could be more enjoyable than going out fishing for a few days.
It's not always that way, of course, but while there are fish to catch there will be fishers to catch them, people who cannot be stopped by a turn in the weather. Because of this, they sometimes don't come back. Well over a hundred people gathered to remember them, and as each of 48 names was read by Mike Dodd, who's one-time fisher father Bud died last March, a flower was placed in a memorial wreath by a family member or friend.
Music was provided by the Blaine high school instrumental ensemble along with Blaine high student David Williams's singing "America the Beautiful."
"Blaine's half water, which is maybe why fishing's in our blood," said realtor and former fisher Chuck Green, referring to the parts of Drayton Harbor and Semiahmoo Bay that lie within the city limits. Blaine has been primarily a fishing town almost since its inception in 1884.
"It would be hard to find a family here who wasn't somehow involved with fishing," agreed Theo Hull, who for many years helped host the service when she worked for the chamber of commerce.
Even though Blaine's fishing fleet that once numbered well into the hundreds has dwindled to about 25 active local commercial fishing boats, the connections are still evident. Hull, whose maiden name is Gudmundson, is Icelandic and is married to former fisher, school board member and fellow Blaine native Barrie Hull.
The Hulls attend the Free Church Unitarian, founded 75 years ago primarily by Icelandic fishing families.
"In this congregation," said their minister, the Reverend Nan Geer, "there's hardly a family who hasn't lost someone, and over the years there have been several Blaine families who lost every man in a fishing disaster." Geer was one of three participating clergy, along with Father Matthew O'Leary of St. Anne Catholic Church and the Reverend Brent Brentnall of Christ Episcopal.
That's when the community gathers around itself for solace, comfort and the strength to go on. The service on Sunday was begun during Blaine's centennial year by the Blaine Chamber of Commerce, which still hosts it. "Does it seem strange to call it a blessing, to remember our loved ones who haven't come back? You'd think it would be called a memorial of some kind," Geer said.
fishing fleet is blessed, however, not to pit God's
strength against the hazards of the job
so much as it is to remind us all of the context in which
fishers and the rest of us all live and work, Geer emphasized. "Memorials
should be about having had a terrible sorrow
then we go on to live in the peace and the wonder that
comes, even after death."
Reverend Brentnall has been involved with the blessing of the fleet for the last three years. "I was shanghaied," he laughed when asked about his role in the service, adding "I'm the kind of guy they think of when this sort of thing rolls around, I guess."
When asked why the service is called a blessing of the fleet even though it's really a memorial, Brentnall, whose wife Kay died unexpectedly last winter, said that "for people in a grieving process, part of the healing of it is to remember. With Kay's death I've been encouraged to go through old photographs, and at the service, when the names are called out and a flower's placed on the wreath for each one, it's like going through the old pictures. The remembering helps you come to closure with the loss of the person."
Geer said she likes doing the benediction in the service "because I like to get the last word in," she grinned. Among other things, she said "We are reminded to care for and about one another in times of joy and sorrow, to look out to the glistening sea as does the fisher as the boat rises to the wave – a thrill of life and an understanding of the depths of the sea as we turn our face toward wonder and everlasting peace."
Following the service, as piper Rory McLeod played Amazing Grace, the wreath was gently lowered onto the deck of Gary McGee's 87-year-old F/V Arctic. It was taken out beyond the harbor entrance and was cast into the water by Green, who once fished on McGee's boat, and his son Jason.
