Just received a big bag of kale from someone's garden. Any favorite recipes out there? How do I transform the stuff from bitter and chewy to tender and savory? I'm thinking of maybe trying a colcanon since S.O. is of Irish descent and is like a crackhead with the mashed potatoes.
One great way to get rid of, I mean, use kale is to chop thinly and add to a beef stew right before serving. It wilts down much to the consistency of cooked spinach and will absorb the flavor of the broth.
Here's a variation on a Spanish dish, which works with all sorts of greens.
Saute 2 - 3 cups roughly chopped kale with onions and garlic in a little olive oil. When the kale has wilted a bit, stir 2 cups of medium or short grain rice in with the kale mixture and toast the rice for a couple of minutes. Pour the mixture into 4 cups of boiling chicken or vegetable broth, cover and cook for 15 - 17 minutes. Let rest a couple of minutes and then fluff with a fork before serving.
Caldo verde (literally, green soup), the Portuguese classic made with onions, potatoes, chourico or linguica sausage, and copious amounts of kale; kale stands up better in soup more than virtually any other green. Absolutely yummy this time of year.
two ideas:
1) the simplest and most delicious thing to do with fresh kale is to chop it into strips, steam it (not too lightly but not too heavily either) and serve it with oil, vinegar, salt, and maybe some black pepper. this is the best way if the kale is tender and not too bitter.
2) when i lived in kenya, the daily staple was "sukuma wiki", made of collard greens which are very similar to kale:
in a saucepan, heat a couple tablespoons of oil and add half a diced onion; sautee until the onion softens a little. add half a diced tomato (don't add water on the cutting board) and sautee another 3 or 4 minutes until the onions are translucent and the tomato is soft but not until it loses its shape entirely. add a little bit of water. add the kale and stir. make sure there is some water on the bottom of the saucepan, and cover the pan. the aim is to first steam and then lightly stew the kale in the onion and tomato oil. check often and stir it, adding water if necessary. cook until done.
the tomato, by the way, completely cuts the bitterness. this dish is actually very sweet.
Well Kale is my favorite vegetable--believe it or not I eat it 3-4 times a week and have been for years. I usually prepare it by cutting it into fairly small pieces, briefly steaming it and putting a light dressing with olive oil. Its very sweet and delicious.
My favorite way is to parboil it and dry it off with paper towels. Saute a crushed clove of garlic in olive oil and toss it out when it turns golden brown. Put in an anchovy or 2 and heat slowly until it dissolves. Add a handful of pitted and chopped black olives, either salt cured or brine cured, and then put in the kale and saute for a couple of minutes.
You won't really taste the anchovy as such, but it will flavor the whole dish. Even proclaimed anchovy-haters who have had it in my house like it this way.
I just threw together a really quick and tasty soup using kale the other day. Sauteed a few minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 bay leaf and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes in 2 Tb. olive oil over medium-low heat until the garlic and onion slightly colored and smelled fragrant. Inc. the heat to medium and threw in 2 cut-up chicken thighs with a little salt. Cooked until the chicken was just opaque, then added in 4 cups of chopped kale, and cooked until wilted. Added 2 cups of canned white beans (navy) and about 4 cups homemade chicken stock. Simmered for a little while, then mashed up a few beans for a thicker soup. Dashed in just a little hot sauce and lemon juice at the end (the acid helped to brighten things up.)
With the canned beans, I was careful to go easy on the salt in the rest of the soup. I would have thrown in other vegetables if I had them on hand, but as it was, this was really yummy! Enjoy that kale!
Kale should not be bitter if it has gone through a light freeze. This is the best time of year for kale in many parts of the country that have just gotten cold.
I use kale in many ways.Here's one way that's different. Cook soba noodles til they're almost done, throw in a bunch of chopped kale. Cook a minute and then drain. Add some Chinese toasted sesame oil, some toasted sesame seeds and sprinkle with soy sauce.
re: desert rat
Yes, the essential thing with kale is that it have gone through a freeze, which reduces bitterness and enhances a very very slight sweetness. I will never forget the time a lovely neighbor gave my mother an armful of kale in early autumn, and it was the single most awful thing we ever ate because we hadn't had a good frost yet. We still talk about it 25-30 years after the fact....

In 2012, the adult prison population in Colorado declined for the third year in a row. As a result, four prisons - two run by the state and two run by private corporations - have closed and a fifth is slated for closure early next year. The Colorado Department of Corrections has also closed several 100-bed units at additional facilities as the state figures out how to manage the complexity downsizing a prison system.
The Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition has pushed for changes in the state's sentencing, parole and drug policies for more than a decade. "For a group like ours, reducing the prison population and actually closing prisons is the ultimate goal," said Christie Donner, the Coalition's executive director. "This is the result of many years of effort, sometimes measured in baby steps that could feel so frustratingly insignificant at the time."
Since its inception in 1999, CCJRC has actively tried to change how people in Colorado think and talk about criminal justice reform. The group has also tried to change policies and bring about desired reforms.
A key priority for the group has been to decrease the number of adults in prison. Reducing mass incarceration is a goal CCJRC shares with the Public Welfare Foundation's Criminal Justice Program and the Foundation has supported CCJRC in this effort since 2008.
With more than 100 diverse organizations and faith communities, totaling about 6,800 individual members in the state, CCJRC has been very influential and has pushed for important changes.
In addition to policy reforms, the Coalition has emphasized the real time needs and concerns of those caught in the criminal justice system – or those coming out of it – such as increased funding for services such as substance abuse treatment, housing and job training.
Early on, the Coalition's efforts to change hearts and minds led some opponents to dub the group, "hug a thug", a label Donner has never refuted. "A lot of our people actually do hug thugs because they are family members."
Such close encounters with the criminal justice system have made the issues more personal for coalition members and also kept them focused on making things better.
Over time, many of these same opponents came to see CCJRC as a knowledgeable and trustworthy player in the debate and design of criminal justice and prison policies in Colorado. "People just needed to understand better what CCJRC was advocating for and why," explains Donner. "I always felt it was our responsibility to reach out to people who thought we were fringe, try to establish a relationship and open lines of communication, even if we didn't always – or even rarely – agree on anything."
During the past decade, Colorado and CCJRC have endured the typical momentum shifts in criminal justice. In the 1990's, Donner says that state policymakers were stuck in a "tough on crime" framework, much like their counterparts in other states across the country.
But in his first State of the State address in 2007, then newly elected Democratic Governor Bill Ritter, a former district attorney in Denver, announced that a priority of his administration would be to reduce recidivism.
"With this address before a joint session of the Legislature, he reframed the conversation from 'being tough on crime' to 'what works' to reduce crime and recidivism," Donner recalls. It turned out to be a watershed political moment and CCJRC was ready to capitalize on it.
Gov. Ritter, who has since left office after declining to run for a second term, pushed for legislation to create a state Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, which has been the source of much of the reforms enacted in Colorado and with which CCJRC has been actively involved.
The following are among the recent legislative accomplishments that the Commission, CCJRC and others have pushed for:
expanding the use of earned time and other incentives for people in prison and on parole;
requiring the use of individualized risk assessments to help judges determine appropriate sentences for each convicted offender in order to reduce the likelihood that the offender will commit more crimes after being released;
making changes to parole to clarify eligibility criteria, encourage more substance abuse treatment for parolees and reduce the number of parolees who are sent back to prison because of technical parole violations;
reducing barriers to employment for people with criminal records.
Donner said CCJRC is now trying to learn from other states, such as New York, Michigan and Texas, about the challenges of closing prisons despite a shrinking prison population. In Colorado, there are also private prisons in the mix. To compensate for the decreasing number of Colorado prisoners, these private prison corporations have been filling their cells by increasing the number of prisoners from other states, including Idaho and Alaska.
Earlier this year, the State Legislature commissioned a prison utilization study to examine and make recommendations on additional prison closures, the use of private prisons and staffing needs for the Department of Corrections. So far, the Department has been able to time closures so that staff could be reassigned. But at a time of continuing economic uncertainty, the Department still may face layoffs, private prison operators are losing profits and rural community budgets that have been bolstered by prisons are threatened.
"There is a lot more complexity in downsizing a prison than in growing it," Donner observes. "Advocating and mobilizing for effective drug or parole policies constitute one level of struggle. Downsizing a prison system where people might lose jobs or corporations might lose profits is a whole new level of struggle. I actually think our hardest work is ahead of us because those with a financial stake in the status quo will fight downsizing tooth and nail."

Canon Printer Hacked To Run Doom Video Game 92
Posted by samzenpus
from the print-or-play dept.
from the print-or-play dept.
wiredog writes Security researcher Michael Jordon has hacked a Canon's Pixma printer to run Doom. He did so by reverse engineering the firmware encryption and uploading via the update interface. From the BBC: "Like many modern printers, Canon's Pixma range can be accessed via the net, so owners can check the device's status. However, Mr Jordon, who works for Context Information Security, found Canon had done a poor job of securing this method of interrogating the device. 'The web interface has no user name or password on it,' he said. That meant anyone could look at the status of any device once they found it, he said. A check via the Shodan search engine suggests there are thousands of potentially vulnerable Pixma printers already discoverable online. There is no evidence that anyone is attacking printers via the route Mr Jordon found."

June 2014 Dear Colgate Colleagues and Friends, Colgate's Board of Trustees met on campus June 6-7, 2014, the last of our four meetings for the 2013-14 academic year. It is a pleasure to provide this post-board meeting report to you. We devoted several hours on Friday to the subject of financial aid, a vital resource for generations of talented students and a cornerstone objective of Colgate University's Strategic Plan, 2014-19: Living the Liberal Arts in our Third Century. The board received an overview of Colgate's financial aid program from President Herbst, Brian Hutzley, vice president for finance and administration, and Marcelle Tyburski, director of financial aid. The board also received a presentation from Dr. Sandra Baum, research professor of education policy at George Washington University and senior fellow at the Urban Institute. Dr. Baum is a leading expert on financial aid and is well known for her research and understanding of the forms of financial aid programs administered by colleges and universities. She provided a very helpful assessment of the issues and opportunities associated with Colgate's goal to fund and adopt a need-blind admission policy. In board action on Saturday, we created an Admission and Financial Aid Committee of the board that will be chaired by Lee M. Woodruff '83, H'07, P'13 to provide oversight of Colgate's efforts to enroll a vibrant, diverse, and academically talented community of students regardless of financial need. On Friday the board also received an update about the various building projects underway or envisioned, including construction of the new soccer field, the new athletic facility, the Center for Art and Culture, a new career center, and improvements in our residence halls. Colgate has a wonderful campus and the board is deeply committed to renovating existing facilities, or constructing new ones, that are properly designed, meet current and future program needs, and are appropriately funded. The board also received an overview of the Endowment Management and Finance Committee's investment strategy by Chairperson Barry J. Small '76 and Joseph S. "JS" Hope '97, who was recently promoted to the position of chief investment officer. Colgate's endowment performance has been excellent. For the period September 1998 through March 2014, the investment return averaged 8.1% as compared to a 6.4% return for the S&P 500. Over the past decade the endowment has contributed over $285 million to support the university's faculty, students, and programs. The board also received the final report on the Colgate Identity Project from Barbara Brooks, interim vice president for communications. Many of the data-driven recommendations are guiding the university's marketing communications plans for prospective students and families, as well as efforts with our other key constituents. Trustees and senior administrators attended the dedication of the new Hurwitz Admission Center in James B. Colgate Hall. The renovation project has created a wonderful new space for visitors to campus and is equipped with technology and visual aids that confirm that Colgate is indeed "in the middle of everywhere," as the multimedia presentation states. Two highlights of the program were the remarks by Kori V. Strother '15 and Daniel B. Hurwitz '86, P'17, trustee and lead donor to the project. During our formal business session on Saturday the board acted on several recommendations, including: Recommendations of the President regarding faculty appointments Approved revisions to the Bylaws, Conflict of Interest Policies and Disclosure Procedures, Whistleblower Policy, and board committee descriptions to comply with the New York Nonprofit Revitalization Act of 2013 Approved expenditures to purchase 3.6 acres of property in the Adirondacks for use by Colgate's Outdoor Education Program Approved the sale of a 0.34 parcel of land in Hamilton, NY, to Fairmount Properties, a real estate development firm from Ohio, which is interested in using the parcel for a proposed housing project. In addition, the board approved resolutions of appreciation for four trustees whose terms of service ended at the June meeting. The resolutions followed a wonderful dinner on Friday evening that gave us an opportunity to recognize the service of Scott A. Meiklejohn '77, Mark D. Nozette '71, Barry J. Small '76, and Edward M. Werner '71. All four, each in his own special way, served Colgate in outstanding fashion, and I know we will continue to benefit from their engagement with Colgate in the years ahead. The board elected four new trustees to three-year terms: Eric A. Cole '93, New York, NY, a partner at Appaloosa Management LP; Margaret A. Flanagan '80, Cambridge, MA, who is retired from the law firm of Testa, Hurwitz and Thibeault; Andrew S. Greenfield '74, P'12, Norwalk, CT, entrepreneur and founder of Colgate's Thought Into Action Entrepreneurship Institute; and Duncan L. Neiderauer '81, H'13, Mahwah, NJ, chief executive officer of the New York Stock Exchange. Looking ahead to the 2014-15 academic year, the board will meet in Hamilton on September 19-20, April 10-11, and June 5-6. In addition we will meet in Miami, Florida, January 24-25 as part of our annual effort to meet alumni, parents, and friends in different parts of the country and develop connections with guidance counselors who are important resources for attracting talented students. The 2013-14 year was a vibrant one for Colgate, and the many accomplishments are a tribute to the efforts of the talented faculty and staff who are dedicated to providing a high-quality educational experience for our students. We witnessed evidence of your success at Commencement 2014 and throughout Reunion Weekend, when school spirit and alumni engagement were so palpable. The board joins me in thanking each and every one of you. Please contact me at email@example.com if you have any questions or suggestions. Best wishes for a wonderful summer. Best regards.

SAGINAW — About 2 a.m. Friday, Laura Gallagher was awakened by someone banging on her front door.It was a neighbor, yelling that a car in their driveway was on fire.If it had been much longer, the house would have been on fire with us in it, said Gallagher, who was at home with her husband, Karl Gallagher, and Miles McDaniel, another man who lives with them. We are very grateful to our neighbors.Gallagher is the mother of Alanna Gallagher, the 6-year-old girl whose lifeless body was found under a tarp less than a mile from their modest Saginaw home earlier this month.No one has been arrested. The death is being investigated by Saginaw police, FBI agents, Texas Rangers and other law enforcement agencies.Investigators are treating the fire in the Gallaghers Ford Taurus as arson, said officer Damon Ing, a Saginaw police spokesman. Agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are assisting.In addition, a makeshift memorial of stuffed animals just down the street burned overnight. Investigators have not determined whether that fire was intentionally set, Ing said.Gallagher said her two other children were staying with relatives and were not at home at the time of the fire.I dont know if this is related to what happened to our daughter or if this is someone just deciding to react to the publicity in this way. I have no idea, Gallagher said Friday morning. I don't really understand the kind of people that can do this kind of thing. I don't understand the idea that anyone could have even hurt Alanna.We had a beautiful, idyllic life and were very happy here and this is the scariest and worst thing that has ever happened to any one of us.Fire crews were called to the house in the 600 block of Babbling Brook Drive at 2:16 a.m. Friday, Ing said.Later Friday, after the Taurus had been towed away, scorch marks could be seen on the driveway.Gallagher said her family was frightened and tense. By mid-morning, she was arranging to install a security system at the house. She said they dont want to move. There had been such a feeling that we were living in a safe area and you never expect anything like this, so were very shaken, she said. As scary as this has been, we are just discovering how many true friends we have.I really dont want to have to run away from all the good things, all the good people and all the good memories of this home.Alanna had been playing outside on the afternoon of July 1 when she disappeared. Her partially nude body was found that evening in a black trash bag wrapped with tape and placed beneath a tarp at Roundrock Drive and Cindy Lane.Gallagher declined to comment about the investigation, but she did address a FBI report that investigators seized red tape, white tape, camo tape, black electical tape from inside the Taurus.Gallagher said her husband is in the Texas State Guard and kept supplies needed to help set up public shelters during emergencies or bad weather in his car.Alanna was a kindergartner at Willow Creek Elementary School in the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw district.

Composting and Worm Farms
Approximately 35% of the rubbish that each Unley household throws away in their wheelie bins is organic material that can be easily made into compost.
Click here to view our composting fact sheet.
There are three types of composting bins that can be ordered from City of Unley's Customer Service Centre.
If every Unley household composted organic matter that currently goes to landfill, it would:
- Save the community almost $100,000 in waste management costs; and
- Prevent almost 3,000 tonnes of landfill
The fertiliser that is created from compost is rich in nutrients for the garden and can be used to feed all plants and lawns. Material that can be composted includes lawn clippings, food and recycled paper pet litter.
Compost Bin (worms not included)
The Compost Bin does not require worms to operate, however if worms are added, they will speed up the composting process. (Worms are sold separately.)
- User friendly
- No foul odour
- 225 litre capacity
- Unique aerated design
- Made from 100% recycled plastic including old $5 and $10 bank notes
Worm Farms (worms not included)
Worm Farms turn kitchen scraps, garden waste and dog litter into a liquid fertiliser called 'castings' which can be removed from the tap provided.
When used according to the instructions provided, the worms will work away on your scraps without producing offensive odours.
- Made from 100% recycled plastic
- Holds up to 20,000 working worms
- Is fly and vermin proof
- Breeds up to 20,000 fishing bait worms that can be easily removed from the top
- Diameter: 500mm/ Height: 735mm
- Weight: 5.9kgs
Worms, Starter Pack (1000 worms)
The Starter Pack contains 1,000 worms and is great for getting started using a small container. They are also a great idea for the recreational fisher who uses worms as bait.
Adding small amounts of organic waste will inevitably produce more castings than the container can hold. The container will then have to have some castings removed or the worms and material moved to a larger container.
- Refer to the order form (below)
(Prices subject to change without notice)
Payments can be made at the Customer Service Centre
- By phoning 8372 5111;
- By faxing 8271 4886;
By posting to PO Box 1, Unley 5061; and
In person at 181 Unley Road, Unley

Worms and worm farms need to be ordered and can take up to 21 days to arrive.

|Multimedia Sampling During The Application Of Biosolids On A Land Test Site –(EPA/600/R-11/020) April 2012
This report documents the approach, methodologies, results, and interpretation of a collaborative research study conducted by the National Risk Management Research Center (NRMRL) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (U.S. EPA's) Office of Research and Development (ORD); The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA); and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS). The project was carried out at the Piedmont Research Station of NCDA&CS in Salisbury, NC. This study was designed to evaluate multimedia sampling methods and techniques prior to, during, and following the application of biosolids from a local municipal wastewater treatment plant to a 2-acre agricultural grassland. The multimedia sampling techniques included methods for measuring various components contained in the applied biosolids, entrained in aerosol emissions, discharged into the air as volatile and semi-volatile gases and odorants, and collected from the soil surface and subsurface of the applied grassland. This research was not designed to investigate health-related incidents and, therefore, does not constitute a health effects research study. Field activities were divided into three tasks: bioaerosol and particulate matter sampling, volatile organic compound and odor sampling and land sampling. During the period of August 2004 to January 2005, 35 groups of analytes were measured using 13 sampling techniques. Several analytes were measured in more than one matrix. In total, 49 analyte-matrix combinations were measured. The multimedia approach and numerous analyte-matrix combinations are unique for a field study on the land application of biosolids.

Personal Profile
After receiving a doctorate in 2007, Aaron Vlasak taught in the departments of philosophy and religious studies at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh. There he taught courses on topics ranging from ancient Greek philosophy, to multiculturalism and environmental ethics. In 2010 Vlasak was appointed Humanities Faculty Fellow at Syracuse University. There he refined his interest in ethics and politics through historical sources, teaching cosmopolitanism and environmental ethics. Recently joining the E.S.F. community, Vlasak is cultivating an enduring passion for the outdoors and environmental issues by pursuing a Master of Science degree in forestry. He says that his academic background allows him to integrate forestry practice with historically informed, rigorous thinking about values, policy and professional codes.

Call to Traction
Before winter arrives, choose the proper chains and know how to install them
Installing chains is the one trucking operation almost guaranteed to be required in the worst weather.
"Installation is never easy because it's done in the worst conditions," says Eric Sullwold, business development manager for chain manufacturer Pewag International and a former trucker. "It's cold, it's snowing, it's miserable, plus you have cars whizzing by driven by people who don't think they need chains."
To prepare for chaining, take along a few pieces of equipment to keep yourself safe, Sullwold recommends. Get a reflective vest that can be seen in white-out conditions or at night. Carry a sturdy flashlight or battery-powered lantern. Also, pack a good pair of gloves, coveralls and a rain jacket or parka to protect you from the elements.
If possible, pick a spot far off the roadway, such as a pullout or rest area that is well-lit and has adequate space. Try to find level ground to keep from sliding on ice. Truckers often will procrastinate and think they can make it to the next pullout before chaining. "Be safe and pull into the next area and put your chains on," Sullwold says.
There is no one right way to lay the chains. The most popular method is simply draping them over the top of the tire. Make sure the latch is on the outside of the tire and the connecting C hook is on the inside, away from the tire. Move the truck forward or backward a foot or so to get as much of the chain under the tire as possible. "You're left with the tail of the chain on the ground away from the tire," says Claudio Massini, assistant manager at Western Equipment Ltd. "The idea is to loop it to the other end and fasten it. Fasten the C hook first and then the latch side. When you slide the link on and pull it down to fasten the latch, it will tighten the chain that much more."
Many chains have tightening cams along the side chain. The cam is a half-moon-shaped disk that you tighten with a key that cinches the chain tighter.
If you have a V-bar chain, make sure the V-bar is pointing away from the tire. Same goes for studded chains. Otherwise, the studs will dig into the tread.
Once you've applied the chains, you'll want to move your rig a distance to allow centrifugal force to center the chain on the tire. In some chaining areas, you may not have much space, so you may have to retension the chains at the next pullout or chaining area. Don't drop your trailer, since it could roll.
Retensioning adjusts the tightness to get a better fit. If the chain is too loose, it will bang the pavement ahead of the tire and cause premature wear or break a link, Sullwold says. Or it can roll around the tire and wear the tread, Massini says. Too tight – which Massini says is rare – and the chain clings too closely to the tire and could cause damage to the tread, sidewall or shoulder.
When you're driving with chains, speed is critical. Any speed above 25-30 mph will accelerate chain wear, and it will increase your stopping distance dramatically. Sullwold says most of the time you'll only drive 40 miles on your chains before removal.
At the end of the season or after each trip, check the chains for broken links. You can repair cross chain pieces with a chain plier, which opens and closes hooks. "You can do maybe a half-dozen cross chains," Sullwold says, "but if you're going to repair a whole chain, you'll find the cost of your time and materials would be more than the cost of a new chain."
When removing chains, find a safe place away from traffic. Sullwold recommends hanging them on your truck in a way that you'll be able to put them on quickly and easily the next time.

An Economic Analysis of Higher Education Financing Policies
AbstractThis paper develops a model in which it is possible to evaluate alternatives of higher education financing. The alternative systems under discussion are: total feeing, graduates' taxes and uniform taxes (this can be associated to the scheme presently used in the Argentina to finance the Universities). Assessment of the alternatives is performed over welfare, based on the indicators of poverty, equality, and the average levels of utility and wealth. Likewise, the functions of welfare presented by Bentham, Rawls, Atkinson, Sen and Kakwani are also considered. The most remarkable results are obtained through the simulation of an economy under two scenarios. In that way, the system of graduates' taxation is found to be better for welfare; whereas the system of uniform taxation only can be justified as it maximizes the number of students.

Do you dress up for Halloween? Maybe you and Erik could dress up in a couples' costume!
Anonymous asked:
Oh, I do apologize for my late response to your inquiry. I have been busy, you see.
Yes, indeed. My dearest Angel dressed in his usual clothing and escorted me out in the streets of Paris, I was dressed as a angel… a simple costume really. However, it took quite a while to have Erik escort me through Paris. It was very lovely.
On Day of the Dead, Erik took me to my father's grave. It was a very sad, but happy moments as he was there with me.
My, I can't seem to wipe this smile off my face…
Love has no middle term; either it destroys, or it saves. All human destiny is this dilemma. This dilemma, destruction or salvation, no fate proposes more inexorably than love. Love is life, if it is not death. Cradle; coffin, too. The same sentiment says yes and no in the human heart. Of all the things God has made, the human heart is the one that sheds most light, and alas! most night.
I have been busy!

Organizing & Beautifying with As Seen on TV Products
During this winter break season of reruns, there is lots more channel surfing than usual and thus the likely-hood of catching an infomercial for the latest gadget or home improvement tool is increased.
I wonder how popular these items are and if any of you, our readers, have ever bought them and found them useful?
• Shoe Organizing Bed Skirt
• Hanger Cascader
• Space Bag Hanging Combo Set
• Easy Crown Molding
• Easy Crown Door
24 Comments
Please - don't let my mother know about this thing. She will buy me one.
The easy crown molding thing is interesting, but if you can cut it with scissors, it can't be strong. And while I don't have any direct experiences putting in molding, it can't be that hard. I'd rather spend $50 bucks on something that I know will last and work than $110 on something that may fall apart.
I had the cascading hanger thing once. I didn't find it as useful as the advertisements suggest. The width the clothes take up is still there, just lower than the hang rod. So I had empty hang rod space, but not more actual closet space. It might depend on how you use your closet space though. I don't organize my clothes by 'short' or 'long' but by color, and I utilize the space above and below my clothes for other things like shoes and storage totes and laundry baskets.
I don't have the hanging space bag thing but I do have many space bags. I have some 'large' and 'jumbo' bags. I wouldn't recommend the jumbo--they hold far more than just one blanket. So much that they are rather heavy to carry. I also have some 'knock-off' brand space bags and there is a difference. Some don't hold their suction as well as the real thing. I do really wish I'd gotten the storage 'cubes' instead. The flat bags don't shrink down to a nice size shape like the commercials show. They are lumpy, conforming to every bulge and fold in the clothes inside. So, somewhat awkward. But they are fantastic space savers, and also great for moving (why put clothes in boxes or wardrobes when you can put them in a space bag? the bags become rigid when properly compressed, making them very easy to carry, and they protect the clothes just as well if not better than a cardboard box would).
To add an additional thought to my comments about the space bags:
I'm not really sure what the HANGING version would accomplish, unless hanging space is the only place you have to store something. The bags really compress the clothing inside. They are going to get wrinkled. So maintaining them as hanging wouldn't really accomplish much. Even if all you had was vertical space for storage, when properly compressed, the bags are quite rigid and could be stood on end. I keep mine propped on end at the back of my closet. So long as there is something to keep them from tipping over, they remain upright.
I've bought and returned (to BB&B) about 20 SpaceBags in the last few years because no matter how hard I try to love them, they just keep letting me down. They just don't stay compressed and tear easily. Maybe I got some duds? I don't know, but I will never buy another one again.
I've had the same issue with space bags, Monica.
me too! I WAS using space bags to store my fabric in my studio and they kept expanding back over time. Like 1 of 3 actually stays compressed. My mother gave them to me for free otherwise I would not have used it.
I've bought Wonder Hangers (another kind of the Cascade hangers) and I LOVE them! I'd recommend them to anyone :)
I can't wait to here was ATers have to say about this...
I must admit that my Wonder Hangers are pretty handy, but I am completely confused by the Easy Crown Molding... How is there no measuring if you want it to fit right? and why is it soooooo expensive. Molding is not that tricky and should not be that pricey.
I've tried Space bags several times and they always leak. You can get better results with heavy trash bags, a vacuum and a twist tie.
The major pain of crown molding is getting the angle right. Although it may work well in an apartment if it comes off easily. Same with the door molding.
If you have so much crap and so little space that you need to hang it off the sides of your bed - you may want to rethink your life.
The crown molding is $109 for 134 feet. That is cheaper than wood and it doesn't require a saw. It may not be too bad other than trying to cut it right.
Not sure about these hangers but I bought some of those flat hangers and they rock! Your shirts don't fall off b/c they "stick" to the velvet AND they take up WAY less space.
Bet that peel n stick molding looks soooooooo cheap! ewwie!
ps. those bed things would ONLY be good in a kids room, for books, teddy bears, etc. but, I think they'd be gross filled up with shoes in a bed AND then covered with a God awful dust ruffle. double eww! Take half your crap to the goodwill if you are that desperate for storage!
too much junk.
every time these ads air i hear an invitation to fit more crap in the same space. divest, people.
If only people lived with less...This kind of crap isn't made to last it looks cheap and will only end up in a land-fill because it's useless garbage!!!!!!!! It also promotes hording... piew!!!
just looking at that bed with all of those shoes makes me anxious
Space Bags will ruin your down and feather pillows/comfortors as the compression breaks the quills.
I had space bags when I was doing a lot of long-term overseas travel and had to compress a lot of stuff into a suitcase.
They worked great for the first and second fill but then the plastic would just split, usually near the zipper. but sometimes along near the seams or the valve. The glue they used was fine but the plastic seemed somehow brittle. All 6 that I had failed within a year.
If they could be bothered to make them out of a better quality of plastic I would buy more.
I don't feel so bad now that I put my extra handbags and out-of-season clothes in suitcases under the bed. At least the suitcases serve multiple purposes. When I need one for a trip I just dump the contents into a laundry basket. It's not the most ideal solution, but it works for a home with little storage.
That organizing bedskirt is hideous!!! Looks like something a klepto would own. Just horrible!!!
What an ugly idea! Fine for kids I suppose, if you really have to, but as an adult... rather organise your closets better

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WTAQ) - A Milwaukee church has been ordered to close a homeless shelter it's been running for years without a city license. Officials learned about the shelter after the Fire Department was called to the Word Is God Worship Center for a medical emergency on Tuesday night – and they found excessive levels of carbon monoxide. About 60 people were evacuated. They were homeless people sleeping there overnight. Pastor Lamar Beverly-Davis says he provides the shelter each winter out of compassion for the cold and needy – and he doesn't ask for money or permission.
Todd Weiler of Milwaukee's Neighborhood Services Department said a person was living in the basement, in violation of the church's occupancy permit. And the pastor was told to evict that person within 24 hours and not run a shelter until he gets a license. Alderman Bob Bauman said he didn't know the church had a shelter. He doesn't mind it – but he says it must be regulated for health and safety concerns, and the neighborhood has a right to comment on the land use. As for the carbon monoxide, authorities said the church might have caused it. Repairs were made to the furnace Wednesday, and then the building's natural gas service was reconnected.

The Washington Post has a nice article on Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. Even though fewer than one percent of Google searchers use the button, Google refuses to remove it.
Marissa Mayer, vice president for search products and user experience, said "If we took it away, there would be mass protests worldwide."
I believe it, I really do. The article says that "Google loyalists" get the impression from the button a "touch of whimsy and reassurance that the company doesn't take itself too seriously." This may explain why Google has on many of their contextual ads, the line, "Ads by Goooooooooogle."

There's plenty of interesting information here, but most intriguing to me is how well the Cowboys perform from "sub-optimal" formations. That is, the offense runs well out of spread formations and passes well out of tight ones. This phenomenon makes sense. Although it's not inherently ideal to run with four receivers on the field or pass from I-Formation, it's often beneficial because such calls possess the element of surprise. A first-and-10 play-action pass, for example, is probably better run from a big, tight formation because it forces the defense into heavier personnel and fools them into thinking a run is on the way.
The Results
For the record, I labeled any formation that utilized "11" personnel as the primary package (or any formation with no running backs) as a "spread" formation. Those included every Shotgun formation, Spread, Tight End Spread, Tight End Trips, and Trips. All the rest were labeled as "tight" formations.
As has been the case every season since 2009, the 'Boys were superior when they ran the "unexpected" play in 2012. The offense managed 4.6 YPC on the ground when running from spread formations, compared to just 3.3 YPC from tight formations. For passes, it was just the opposite; Dallas totaled 8.0 YPP when passing from tight formations, compared to only 5.4 YPP when throwing from spread formations.
It's worth noting that game situations play a role in the results. The Cowboys frequently run the ball from tight formations in short-yardage situations, for example, and that could skew the data. However, the difference in the distance-to-go for a first down on both runs and passes from spread and tight formations was within one yard of each other, suggesting there's more to the results than changes in the game situation.
Looking Forward
Although there are a number of factors that determine play-calls, it would probably benefit the Cowboys to run more often from spread formations and pass more frequently from tight formations in 2013. Despite the increased success running from spread formations, less than one-third of all runs came from a spread look. Similarly, less than one out of five passes the Cowboys attempted in 2012 came from a tight formation.
Sometimes lining up in a "predictable" formation isn't a bad thing; on third-and-10, for example, using a five-wide formation isn't disadvantageous because the defense will play you to pass no matter what. It's the other situations – first-and-10, second-and-5, and so on – when the Cowboys could potentially benefit from mixing it up a bit more often.

QS Meetup Groups
Friends of QS
We recently started a program to invite QS Toolmakers to contribute directly to funding our events. We call this program Friends of QS. If you would like to participate we invite you email us to learn more.
Running Quantified Self Labs, the organization that supports and coordinates fun QS events and communities around the world, takes funding. We're very grateful to have generous sponsors that believe in the movement we're nurturing and want to help make it blossom. And now we're excited to announce that Robert Lynde is joining Gary, Ernesto, and I, to keep the magic going.
Robert is a long-time runner with a passion for self-tracking, a wonderful heart, and an inspiration to disrupt health care. He's also the Deputy Director of the MiraiBio Group of Hitachi Solutions America. As our new Sponsorship Facilitator, Robert will be helping to support and recruit sponsors so that we can expand our QS activities worldwide and do some special things around the upcoming conference in September.
Welcome, Robert!
Anyone who has presented their work at a Quantified Self conference will already know the amazing Ernesto Ramirez. Ernesto is a doctoral student at UC San Diego's Center for Wireless and Population Health Systems, a leader of the San Diego QS Show&Tell meetup group, a regular blogger here, and a positive force inspiring people to live healthy lives. We are excited to announce that Ernesto has agreed to join us at QS Labs to share his goodness.
As our new Community Organizer, Ernesto will be helping to support new and existing QS Show&Tell meetups around the world, exploring social media channels to engage and cross-pollinate the global QS community, writing a "QS 101″ series to guide people new to self-tracking, and generally helping to keep our collaborative, listening culture strong.
You can expect to see and hear more from Ernesto in the coming months. He is also @e_ramirez on Twitter and Ernesto Ramirez on Google+.
Welcome, Ernesto!
This is the first of a series of posts to give you a sneak peek behind the scenes at Quantified Self Labs, for a bit of flavor on how we work.
In case you're thinking about it, it's best not to try to reach us by phone or ask us to schedule a call. It's nothing personal, and we'd love to hear from you! We just don't use phones unless absolutely necessary (and I don't use phones even then).
So how do we get things done? First of all, email and Google Docs can go a long way, and are usually sufficient to make progress on most things.
If a real-time conversation really needs to happen, Google chat works surprisingly well for 2-, 3-, or 4- person chats. It's fast and clear, everyone can talk and think at the same time, and you have a helpful transcript of the chat when you're done.
Phone calls are low-bandwidth, often hard to understand because of poor reception, and if there are more than 2 people involved, you can be pretty sure the others are checking Twitter instead of listening.
Chatting takes a bit of getting used to for some people, but they usually get the hang of it pretty quickly and are surprised to learn how much smoother it is. We've even converted some die-hard phone people to chatters! And we feel much more peaceful and happy working without phones. So if you ever send us a note and ask us when we can schedule a phone call, please don't be upset or confused when we say: "we don't use phones." Consider yourself part of an experiment in making collaboration more effective and pleasurable.
(Thanks to Craigslist for partially inspiring this idea, and thanks to h_k_d for the beautiful picture.)
In future Lab Notes posts, I'll write about how and why we minimize meetings and presentations, how we keep our finances super lean, and why we're very gentle with ourselves. Anything else you want to know about QS Labs? Feel free to ask in the comments below.

Eat like a royal on a trip to London with a visit to Fortnum & Mason
This week saw the Queen, the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Cornwall make their first joint official visit when they enjoyed a tour of one of London's most famous department stores - Fortnum & Mason.
The event highlighted the royal links of Fortnum's, which has been an institution in the capital for centuries and a popular place to visit for those staying at luxury suites in London.
Famed for its luxury hampers, extensive food hall and quintessentially British tea room, Fortnum & Mason has held a number of royal warrants since being founded in 1707, including being appointed grocers to HRH the Prince of Wales in 1863 and the official Purveyors of Oilery to HM the Queen in 1887.
On Thursday (March 1st), Camilla, Catherine and the Queen were given a tour of the food hall while Her Majesty unveiled a plaque to commemorate the regeneration of the Piccadilly area where the store is situated.
According to the BBC, they browsed numerous luxurious good before each was presented with a Fortnum's hamper, containing delicacies including champagne truffles - and dog biscuits.
The Queen chatted to a number of the store's employees, including 86-year-old Joan Goff, who worked at Fortnum's as a teenager during the Second World War, a period in which the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, also visited the store.
"She didn't come very often but I did see her in the shop once or twice," she told the news provider.
"Today I told her that I had been here when I was 14 and she said, 'how marvellous'."
The royal guests also met military personnel involved in the Gifts for Troops scheme, which sends packages to soldiers serving in Afghanistan, during their visit.
Fortnum and Mason is also home to several restaurants, which are available for private hire and could be perfect locations for those looking for event venues in London.

Drivers on Watt Avenue a couple weeks ago got hit with what may have been the biggest area traffic jam of the year when county workers suddenly added two new signal lights and changed freeway ramps at Watt where it crosses Highway 50. It's at the site of the county's massive redo of the Watt/50 interchange.
Since then, the county has made a host of little changes there in hopes of improving traffic flow before the holiday period ends and commute traffic ramps up again next week. That involved opening more traffic lanes that had been closed for construction, and connecting cameras to allow engineers to modify traffic signal timing on the fly.
When it comes to traffic, the tiniest changes can have major effects. With that in mind, workers just added a third right turn lane off one of the freeway ramps onto northbound Watt. That means three cars in adjacent lanes can make right turns at the same time onto Watt – on a red light no less – as long as it's safe.
This week, the county will adjust striping to give cars in the far right lane a better view of Watt. That way, more drivers will feel confident pulling onto Watt on the red light – after stopping, of course – which will get more cars off the ramp quicker, and let the county run green lights longer.
Officials say traffic should be back to normal. In six months, when the project is done, cars should flow more smoothly than they have in years. But Watt commuters know that may not be saying much. Watt, one of the few roads that crosses the American River and connects two major freeways, is overloaded and will remain overloaded.
"Even if our new intersections on Watt at the (freeway) ramps run wonderfully, this is a still a challenged corridor," county traffic engineer Patrick Carpenter said. "The whole corridor will never be a smooth flow."
The intersections of Watt and Fair Oaks Boulevard, to the north, and Watt and Folsom Boulevard, to the south, will continue to be problems.
Drunken driving arrests
The final tally is in. Seventeen law enforcement agencies in Sacramento County combined to make 414 drunken driving arrests during a three-week period ending Jan. 1.
The biggest arrest day? No surprise, it was Wednesday, Jan. 1, when 36 drivers were arrested. Officer Andrew Bates of the Folsom Police Department, the spokesman for the countywide effort, said most of those arrests are likely to have occurred in the hours just after midnight New Year's Eve.
Many of those were celebrants suffering from what law enforcement calls the "optimism effect." That's when somebody says, 'Sure, I've been drinking, but I'm not falling down drunk, so I'm good."
Notably, there was only one drunken driving fatality in the county during those weeks, a crash in Galt. That tells police those 414 arrests – and recent anti-DUI education campaigns – may have saved some lives.

Categories > Celebrities > My Chemical Romance > I'll Keep Your Memories In The Back of My Mind
Chapter Four0 Reviews
nuh uh.
"Hey. Are you okay?" I checked the caller id not sure of who it was.
"I'm fine Frankie."
"You sure? That little break down on Monday scared us all."
"It scared me too. I'm okay now. I promise."
"Good. We love you too much to lose you to insanity."
"Too late." He laughed.
"Hey what are you doing?"
"Listening to music."
"I know I hear it. But what?"
"Hilary Duff...."
"Get ready. Our show is tonight. We're picking you up in ten."
"Bye!" I hung up the phone and threw on my jeans and a My Chemical Romance tee shirt. I always wore it to all of their shows. I was the bands "hot piece of ass advertiser" according to Frank. Whatever, it worked for me. Within ten minutes the boys arrived in a small car and shoved me in the back. I had to lay across Mikey Frank and Ray. After twenty minutes of uncomfortable driving we reached the venue. It was dinky and small on the outside. But on the inside it was just how we liked our venues. Dark cold and tiny. I began tuning frank's guitar first. He was always big baby if I tuned Ray's first. As I moved on to Ray's guitar I overheard Brian, the band's manager/close friend, was talking to someone he worked with. I pretended to be interested in Mikey's bass but I was really listening to the conversation.
"So how are the tour plans coming along?"
"They're coming great. I'm telling the boys after the show tonight."
"So who are they going with again?"
"The Used and a new band called Aiden."
"Wow. For how long?"
"All of winter break. That's two weeks."
"So they wont be home for Christmas?"
"Fortunate for them they will. Do you think these kids even celebrate Christmas?" They both laughed and walked off. I continued tuning the bass and then moved on to making sure the drums were set up right. Then mic check. After 15 minutes of setting up the stage the crowd began to file in and the show started. The first song they played was "Skylines and Turnstiles". They went through their set and interacted with the audience a lot. They seemed to like it for they demanded one more song out of the band. I stood in the back the whole time so I would have a good view. I could see the sweat dripping off their faces and their heavy breathing. Gerard spoke into the microphone.
"I want to dedicate this last song to my best friend. She is my world and has been there for me since we were kids. Its her favourite song and it goes to her." He pointed at me and every head in the crowd turned, some jumped to see who I was, most cheered for me and others glared and sneered. The lights dimmed once again and the music began to play. They played "Demolition Lovers". Gerard was right, it was my favourite.
They walked off stage, the lights when on, the crowd filed out. It was over. I ran backstage eager to be there when the boys were told the good news. I reached the dressing room door and went for the handle. I heard Mikey scream,
"Are you fucking serious!?" I was a little too late.
"What'd I miss?"
"We're touring!" Gerard swept me up in his arms and twirled me around until I had to hit him in the back to let him know I was dizzy as fuck.
"Well aren't you going to have fun all winter break without me?" He wrapped his arms around my waste and whispered in my ear,
"What are you talking about? You're coming with me." He kissed me on the cheek and ran to Mikey bringing him to the ground in a bone crushing hug. This resulted in a dog pile, even Brian was included. I casually walked to the pile of my best friends and sat on top of all of them.
"Fatass!" Ray yelled. I only weighed 110 pounds. Fat was impossible for me.
"Watch it Hairball." He huffed as I smiled triumphantly.

Those who never, even in those most misguided crystal bindhi- and frosted tips-wearing college years, set foot inside a tanning bed will likely feel a bit anxious about skincare guru Joanna Vargas' latest innovation. But outward appearances aside, her LED (light emitting diodes) contraption shares nothing in common with the more familiar and dangerous UV varieties. Light therapy has been used in the medical community for over a century, and powerful LED technology has already been employed by organizations like NASA to speed up wound healing and muscle regeneration. The goal of Vargas' patent-pending Jetsons-esque device, though, is an aesthetic one. Created in alliance with Chicago-based company Norlux, the safe, cellular activity-triggering light lifts and tones the skin, increasing elasticity and collagen production, and can be used specifically to address cellulite, stretch marks, acne, and sun spots. The treatment can be purchased on its own or as a packaged deal that begins with a gentle cleansing and crystal microdermabrasion before you slip into the bed for 20 minutes, after which you're treated to a soothing, super-hydrating oxygen application that leaves your skin glowing and dewy. From personal experience, we can say that being inside the coffinlike contraption can be kind of jarring at first, but you quickly get used to it. In fact, you might even nod off; there's something surprisingly comforting about dreaming of a clearer, more radiant complexion while surrounded by a bright scarlet, infrared glow.

I've had nothing but positive experiences with your facility. Lisa is very knowledgeable and professional., as well as the other employees. Well done guys!Warren from Thorofare, NJ
You are the best storage facility around. I have used many other facilities - but they don't even come close to your facility.Lynn from Woodbury, NJ
the staff was very friendly and responsive whenever I would stop in the office, sometimes just to say hello. they got to know my name and I always got a wave when I would leave through the exit gate. I left only because I sold the car that I stored there---it was a very convenient and efficient facility. I would not hesitate to return if I need storage in the future.Fred from Delran, NJ
After seeing other storage facilities, I am more than satisfied with all of what Uncle Bob's offers to the public.Theresa from West Deptford, NJ
Nicole is a huge asset to your company. From the day i inquired to every time i walk in and pay or call in, she always knows my name. Sometimes it is very busy and she handles it all with a real professional attitude. Cant say enough good things about your facility. Loufrom Delran, NJ
Manager (Lisa) is awesome, very helpful and always courteous.Susan from West Deptford, NJ
Since taking over for Lackland, overall I have a positive impression. However, it is disconcerting to open up your website and see how much less expensive the storage units are in other areas.Anne from Chesterbrook, PA
