Good Question: Best Healthy and Natural Food Blogs?
Even though it's the holidays and nearly Christmas, all this candy-making and cookie-baking has us craving cabbage soup and simple, natural meals to balance out the sweetness. It sounds like reader Claire feels the same way, because she is looking for more health food blogs to read.
I love to get recipe ideas from food blogs and websites, but there's a certain category I'm looking for but haven't been able to find. I'm looking for a blog about health food, specifically the happy hippie-type health food you can find here in California that emphasizes whole grains, yummy veggies and not too strict a stance towards dairy.
She continues: I'm a big fan of the foodie sites, but sometimes I want to read about food that combines a love of the gourmet with reverence for tofu. Maybe Kitchn readers can help me find some good online health food resources.
Claire, there are a few sites that quickly come to mind. First of all, we can't help toot our own horn for a moment: yes, we're omnivorous here at The Kitchn, but we have a lot of healthy cooking in our archives. Search for tofu, whole grains, and grain salads, and check out our archive of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Secondly, have you looked at Heidi Swanson's Mighty Foods? Heidi is best known for 101 Cookbooks, one of the early food blogs that quickly became very popular. Mighty Foods is a guide to all natural foods, and a great resource.
Also, check out these blogs, starting with the home of that gorgeous photo up top:
• Notes from My Food Diary
• Fatfree Vegan Kitchen
• Kalyn's Kitchen
• The Sustainable Table
• The Organic Food Blog
Readers - what are your favorite natural food blogs?

Not a blog but you might want to try here.
101 Cookbooks is a good one too.
I second 101 Cookbooks! Heidi is the best.
#3 for 101cookbooks
I also like http://www.cuisineenlocale.com/2008/11/ryming-for-reason.html http://www.latartinegourmande.com/ and http://www.foodonthefood.com/food_on_the_food/
Thanks for answering my question! I've made about 5 recipes off 101 Cookbooks now...love it! Can't wait to look at the others, too.
and http://cheaphealthygood.blogspot.com/
Enlightened cooking, a lovely site with some wonderful recipes for adults and children.
I too echo 101cookbooks - wonderful, healthy recipes~ another good site is http://www.danispies.com
She is a dietitian who has some good recipes for a variety of healthy ingredients.
Dani Spies' website is good, but she's not a dietitian. "Dietitian" has a specific legal/medical meaning. Dietitians (typically) have a BS in nutritional science or dietetics, complete a 1200 hr internship, and have RD and/or LD after their names.
everybody likes sandwiches has a good collection of recipes:
everything i've made from 101cookbooks has been fabulous, most recently that mushroom casserole (i added kale). although it can be annoying at times b/c it's SF based and she has access to what seems like amazing farmers markets year-round that you might not, generally people in the comments have good ideas for substitutions.
FoodieTots is a great resource for anyone who prefers to cook with organic, locally sourced ingredients. The recipes and photos are amazing! www.foodietots.com.
I look at tons of food blogs, but without a doubt my favorites are 101 Cookbooks and Herbivoracious.
Also, I, too made the mushroom casserole from 101 Cookbooks and it was a huge, huge hit with me and my friends.

Lobsters are tougher to come by and sharks are being spotted at a high frequency. What role does weather play in it all?
Weather and climate play a huge role in the lifespan of a lobster. Lobsters usually thrive in waters hovering near 60 degrees. Now that ocean temperatures are on the rise, lobsters are leaving more common fishing grounds for cooler locales.
Warm waters also play a role in the increase in jellyfish being spotted this summer. Jellyfish are floaters, but they tend to gravitate towards their food, phytoplankton. Phytoplankton grows in warm water.
Shark sightings aren't necessarily directly related to the weather. Though they're usually seen in later months, sharks are more interested in seals than warm water.

Found October 04, 2012 on The Outside Corner:
PLAYERS: Chone Figgins, Kyle Seager, Dustin Ackley, Miguel Olivo
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners
Apparently, Mariners utility player Chone Figgins doesn't want to be with the team anymore. He told John Hickey of SportsPressNW.com that "I can't take 2 more years of this." Well Chone, I'm sure the feeling is mutual from your employers. They've paid you $28 million over the last three seasons (which includes a $2 million signing bonus), and you've responded by contributing a .585 OPS in 308 games with the Mariners over those three seasons, including playing in half of the season's games in 2011 and less than half in 2012. In terms of fWAR, Figgins has actually contributed negative value to the Mariners, costing Seattle nearly a win. The thing about Figgins is that his contract was a massive overpay by the Mariners. He was signed after his age 31 season with the Angels, and as a guy who has really no power and relies on his speed and defense, what in the hell did they expect to happen? His 2009 season with the Angels was a career year, with Fig...

An article caught my eye on MSNBC today, with the sub-title "We're the first generation to say that voting is worthless." What a wonderful and important concept! It's nothing new for us, but kind of surprising to see on a corporate media website and written by the New York Times, I'd say. The article connects the dots between many of the revolutions and protests around the world this year including the current Occupy Wall Street campaign, even hinting at the futility of capitalist democracy. But before I lavish too much praise, it's not as if it isn't lacking some of the dots that should have been connected.
In typical corporate fashion, some jabs were given at workers' unions; and the giant union protests in Madison, Wisconsin this year were unfortunately plunged down some free-market memory hole. Also of noticeable absence was a complete lack of WikiLeaks or its role in fomenting some of the rebellions seen this year. But the idea that capitalist democracy is a worthless distraction made to pacify a bribed middle-class is not your typical MSNBC/New York Times writing subject, and suggests that the message is becoming harder to ignore. The more this message is dispersed the better, I think.
And it seems more and more of the world is waking up to this idea: "But even in India and Israel, where growth remains robust, protesters say they so distrust their country's political class and its pandering to established interest groups that they feel only an assault on the system itself can bring about real change." Music to my ears! With corruption so bald-faced and aggressive at levels not seen in decades, this game being played is becoming more and more dangerous for Power. The people who are supposed to be placated by their precious ballots are being forced to understand that none of the choices they are being presented with are worth believing anymore. And it's making them angry.
Does this mean the status quo is is about to get curb stomped? I certainly hope so, but unless efforts we are seeing at home and abroad are maintained and or increased we could see these exciting developments die. Most importantly, we need to spread the concept that change cannot be won through voting in a capitalist democracy with candidates that are marketed to us as products with a fuck ton of small writing at the margins.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These are feminine and exactly what I was looking for when purchasing my Mehendi invitations. I was able to customize it the way I wanted and it turned out really great. My only regret is not ordering it on shiny or better paper. The paper it comes on works well, but it would have been even better getting it on a higher grade paper."
"For our Rehearsal Dinner invitations I used a favorite autumn picture of the wedding couple and then chose brown background with the blue design and lettering. Oh, my how stunning! On the back I printed the the menu choices. I so enjoyed working with the Design Team -- found them very responsive and professional. The shipping was fast -- a beautiful box arriving on my doorstep right on time. With the colors, rounded corners, and all the information on this one card, this invitation is ready for everyone's refrigerator and scrapbook."
"Not only is my main color for my wedding navy, but we are having our rehearsal dinner at a restaurant called Firefly. These invitations could not have been more perfect. We were thrilled with the design and the execution, and we have received nothing but compliments from our guests. I would certainly recommend these to others!"
"We actually used these for our reception. We had an intimate ceremony, so many people were only invited to the reception. This worked perfectly for our "dinner and dancing' invitation only. We used the winter elegance repsonse card with it. Coordinated wonderfully."
"The starry night image was perfect for my son's Christmas-week wedding which does not have a Christmas theme. We added "'Twas the Night Before..." above the text to subtly reference Christmas -- great for the "night before" rehearsal dinner. With no upgrades, the quality of the paper and printing was excellent. The designer made my requested edits just right in just one draft. Exceeded my expectations!"

At this point i just feel bad for dps warriors. Blizzard for some reason refuses to fix their problems, despite them being consistently among the lowest dps on any gimmick-based fight(being able to destroy on Patch is great, except for there are no fights like patch in the current tier of content). Heroic Anub and Twins are the only fights i see warriors able to top other classes with ease. As the patch 3.3 notes continue to change hopefully we'll see some warrior buffs/changes.
So.... Being able to top damage on the 2 hardest encounters in the game at the moment is bad? I will easily top damage on twins at the moment and on anub'arak heroic I'm pretty much in the top 3 of single target damage done to anub whilst being able to do significant aoe damage to the adds.
I believe dps warriors are in a pretty nice place damage wise just the situations they are useful in, when I could choose a dk, are incredibly limiting. It also isn't great being the kings of 2-4 target damage, it just isn't a great niche, yet would I call for blizzard to rethink my damage? Not really I'm doing great damage at the moment and with scaling its only going to get more competitive come icecrown. Do I want blizzard to fix our aoe issue? yes simply make whirlwind hit all targets and thats all that is needed at the moment. Sure having a full blooded aoe as apart of the rotation isn't ideal but it would give me much more versatility if a yogg-0 type fight ever occurs in ICC. Then come cataclysm fix the fury/arms rotations. However at the moment our damage is perfectly fine and the only thing I would like is whirlwind to be reclassified as a full-blooded aoe, which it should be.
About the article: Whirlwind has never hit snobolds... so no its pretty useless for dealing with them.
The problem with your comment is that yes, being able to top the charts on only 2 fights out of 10(if you count normal and heroic versions) is bad, when on almost every other fight i see warriors in the bottom 5 or 6 against equally geared hybrid classes. You may prefer it, but i guarantee most people would rather be 3rd or 4th dps consistently every fight than rock bottom for the majority and 2nd or 3rd for the two hard fights.
And come 3.3 you must consider that EVERYONE will be scaling with better gear. Just because fury warriors scale the best with gear doesn't mean that in the next tier they will all of a sudden become top dps. You are starting well below most classes, and i seriously doubt the gear scaling is going to be so much that you overtake most classes.
Leave it to a warrior to bitch even when im calling for yall to get buffs.
breaklance said...
Warrior's cannot have unlimited targets on WW without taking a damage penalty, its pretty simple. Even at an 8 second cooldown hitting all targets for 10k or more is too much. Its too much for shamans to have chain lightning hit 3, 4 glyphed, targets for 6k and then diminish per jump, its too much for warriors.
Okay that was a bit of a selfish bump for shamans, but in the reality WW can't hit all targets without taking some kind of a nerf in hand. Which would hurt single target dps. You can't have both worlds here and I believe that's why Blizzard has kept it so.
you are aware that if you target a kobold next to gormok and cleave/ ww it does in fact jump from kobold to gormok and hit both, it just doesnt jump from boss to kobold or kobold to kobold. yo test it out for yourself and its the reason im on kobold duty in the melee area.
rabih_saad said...
Shoryu your absolutely right on this one, and i do it all the times. But you cant tell the ranged or healers to come down next to Gormok for you to dps the Kobolt. But you can take out the one on a melee next to you. And for that you can see your dps in the top 3 on the beast fights.
When its an aoe fight fury warriors generally are in the top 3 dps meter. Single target fights 5th or 6th position.
Which is not bad, but thinking that your a mighty warrior dual wielding 2 handed weapons you should top that meter or be constantly in the top 3. Definitely...

This contains more fragrance than proven antiaging ingredients and the price is ludicrous.I don't mind paying for quality .... but this isn't. It's just a basic overpriced over fragranced moisturiser packed unhygienically in a jar. Whether you like the fragrance or not is irrellevant, it's damaging to skin. Fragrance is not skin care.Jar packaging also means antioxidants in this will not remain stable during use, which is a shame because it does contain antioxidants. I'm going back to my cerave moisturiser at a FRACTION of the price, which is more beneficial to skin than this nonsense.This is another classic example of how expensive isn't always best. I used to think if I paid a lot for a product it HAD to be good. How wrong was I. There's so much better at the drug store.

If Chanel is in your budget then I would really try this. It is a lovely creme that has helped my skin a lot this winter. My skin is very sensitive and dry and I had no problems with this at all. Because of how thick it is I only wear this at night. I did try a few times to wear under foundation, but it just didn't work well. I'm glad I splurged on this.

A decent moisturiser, but no more or less special than a decent drug store product. The smell was quite powerful (I liked it, but I can imagine how others wouldn't). I bought the whole Hydra Beauty range in a moment of madness after having used normal Nivea creme, and soap and water for far too long. After a few months of use my skin still looked just ok. For that price, I was hoping for better results

Since my beloved Olay sensitive was discontinued 4 years ago (and going off the pill at the same time!), I have been looking for a moisturizer that would provide me with the same benefits; great moisturization, evening out my skin tone, prevented dehydration lines, not caused irritation, whiteheads, blackheads, or pimples. Goodness have I tried all the creams....Clarins (multi active), Vichy (liftactiv), Clinique (moisture surge), Lancome (many, many), Biotherm (Aquasource...loved texture and scent but caused milia), La Mer, Aveeno (ultra calming), Estee Lauder, Avene, new Olay reformulations, Lise Watier, Ahava, Phytomer, Kinerase (which I loved but eventually stopped working), Kielh's (ultra lotion...made my skin very dull!)...and maybe others I cannot recall right now. To be fair, some were not bad, such as Aveeno, but it did not do anything for my skin texture, La Mer was nice but i believe I was applying too much.
All this to say...I don't even know how I stumbled onto this creme but I am so happy and grateful I did. I first got a sample, which is the only way I shop now. As you can see from the above, I have given away many many creams. The texture of Hydra Beauty is very luxurious, and having been used to Olay for so many years, I really do appreciate this. The scent is very lovely, like peaches and flowers. You really do not need very much at all because it is so luxurious and spreads so easily. So what else is unique and beautiful about this cream? It hydrates exquisitely, My makeup (EL Double Wear Light) goes on flawlessly, It does not cause any irritation, pimples, etc, my dehydration lines are gone, dry patches gone. The milia caused by Aqausource evaporated after 2 days of use. And my skin has a glow. My skin tone has somehoow evened out but not enough for my liking.
I did not give this product 5 stars because:
a) It has not completely evened out my skin tone
b) my skin is not as dewy as I would like
I have also used this as an eye cream and it is better than any eye cream I have ever tried! It lightened and brightened and hydrated my eyes like never before.
It is the closest creme I have come across to being perfect in the past 4 years after much trial and error.
I have to mention that it is the dead of winter and i am pregnant, so it is possible that this is also affecting my results. However, the creme has done amazing wonders for me since my skin reacted from my change in hormones.
The last thing I want to add is that, with this creme, it takes days, weeks, months to see improvement, but the improvement is real and it is soooo worth it.

I am a huge Chanel fan and may be a little bias but I will try my best to be fair!
I use this product and I do actually have a true oily skin however I get a fair bit of dry flaky skin around my nose which seems to be pretty common, I am only 18 so it may still be a bit of teen acne prone skin, either way I decided to purchase this product just for that dry area of my skin to clear it up and it really did work! The dry flaky patches went away and now it does have a slightly different texture to the rest of my skin still but it's definitely clearing up.
After noticing how great this product was around my nose I decided to start using it all over my face even though I didn't feel I needed more hydration given that I had oily skin but from the first use I am in love! My skin is plumped and smooth, and it has actually amazingly, controlled my oil slightly! I think maybe my skin was actually dehydrated and pumped out the oil to compensate. A lot of people get dry and dehydrated skin confused like I had until I realised from using this product.
My skin is still oily as it is oily skin but it's now a bearable slight oil that I can pass off with "dewy" skin when I have foundation and powder off unlike before
I'm very impressed with the results of this product in regard to helping with my dry flaky skin and my oil (weird how one product did two opposite things but hey...)
The packaging and scent is lovely too and even though it is pricy it is definitely worth it and come on, it is Chanel after all..
This is an average cream. It hasn't caused any additional irritation to my skin. However, it's main and only function is to moisturize. Thus, if your only concern is dryness and/or dryness-induced irritation, this works. But if your skin is irritated or appears dry/flaky due to more than just dryness, this moisturizer does little to "calm" or "sooth" your skin.
it so nice this gives my skin that dewy look when i just finish cleaning my face and the effect last all night.. the product it self last about 3 months if your using in every day at the right amount like the chanel ba told u to lolol i love this product and im on my second jar with a back up in the draw..... love love love love

I was expecting a lot from this product, I have dry skin so when I was purchasing this I was expecting wonders, well atleast for my dry patches to be covered, this product didn't to the trick and found out I was breaking out
I love the smell of it and the packaging but the sales associate kept telling me to get the gel Creme
I was disappointed with this product, I tried to take it back and get the hydramax nutrition cream but they said no , not happy
A SA recommended this product to me when I told her I was suffering from dryness from my BP cream. My skin would peel off because it was so dry, and a moisturize4 that I used to own, which in the past had served me quite well, could not calm my skin fown despite the several additional applications throughout the day. The SA said that the cream version would be better than the gel since my skin was so dry, and she was right! I woke up the next day with glowy skin. I am a little bit concerned about this causing me to break out since I have sensitive acne prone skin, but I have not seen any new ones after 3 days of use. I will post an update later ...

MUA let me with pleasure be the first to review the Hydra Beauty Creme by Chanel. I initially received 2 5 mil samples of this from a generous SA at Chanel Harvey Nichols in Manchester, as well as 2 of the serum that goes with it which i'm yet to use. I've been using this now for a month and have to say i've always strayed away from thick creamy moisturizers and opted for lightweight creams. However i am converted! I use this at night in conjunction with my Advanced Night Repair by Estee Lauder, and they work beautifully together. I wake up with supple, plumped, smooth skin every morning! My acne scars reduced somewhat which pleases me greatly and great hydrated skin. I also used it prior to makeup for nights out and it works as a great primer for foundation. I also received 2 samples of bobbi browns hydrating intense night cream which i used after and loved that too, they're very similar and i'm torn between which one to buy as this is £12 dearer, however i may splurge as the packaging is much nicer and i lovelovelove the scent and the cream itself! much better than la mer in my opinion!

In 1630 Venice experienced an unusually devastating outbreak of the plague. As a votive offering for the city's deliverance from the pestilence, the Republic of Venice vowed to build and dedicate a church to Our Lady of Health (or of Deliverance, Italian: Salute). The church was designed in the then fashionable baroque style by Baldassare Longhena, who studied under the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi. Construction began in 1631. Most of the objects of art housed in the church bear references to the Black Death.
The dome of the Salute was an important addition to the Venice skyline and soon became emblematic of the city, inspiring artists like Canaletto, J. M. W. Turner, John Singer Sargent, Francesco Guardi and Laza Kostić.

Quickie Post - "Doggie Watch" I was rushing between video shoots, but just had to snap a few photos of this Starsky and Hutch duo. They were hanging out in the US Departure Terminal in YVR (Vancouver International Airport). Mr. Shaggy Boom-Bastic (real name "Binky") was a little shy at first, until I brought the camera out. His dad is an avid photographer and has been snapping his picutre since he was a pup. It was a quick meet and greet and I had to run. Binky and his dad were off to Mexico, where they kick-back for a few months each winter.
Quickie Post - "Halloween in Burkeville" I've visited Burkeville nearly a dozen times since I arrived at YVR. Surprisingly enough, the 700 person community (just steps away from the airport) has some of the best parks and playgrounds I've ever seen. The streets are named after aviation words (like Boeing), the houses look like their from "Leave It To Beaver" and the people actually smile and say hi. It's a pretty nice community. Another thing I've noticed is that when you talk with the locals, one of the first things they say is, "Have you been here for Halloween?" After hearing this for the fifth of sixth time I thought to myself, I've got to experience this "Burkeville Halloween" and find out what all the hype is about. Remember Charlie Barstow, the six year old 'beat-boxer' from Sea Island Elementary? He's the same young gentleman that has captured the hearts of the thousands of Live@YVR fans. Well, Candice and I threw on some costumes (I borrowed mine from the Fairmont) and we walked over to the Barstow residence for a little Halloween celebration. While Russ Barstow took Charlie out for some trick-or-treat action, Sue (Charlie's mom) welcomed us with a huge pot of Butter Chicken, cupcakes and wine. The Barstow's are obviously the entertaining type, as they had a constant flow of smiling neighbors coming and going through their doors all night. It was around 7:00pm and rumors begin to spread that the annual fireworks might be canceled due to wind. But sure enough, the wind calmed down and the streets were soon flooded as the entire neighborhood flocked to the park. Russ Barstow was kind enough to make sure that both Candice and I had 'special' coffees for walk (we had to keep warm some how). It was a clear night, not a cloud in the sky. The park was lit with a soft yellow hue as the light from food vendor trailers scattered across heads in the crowd. A few warning blasts were deployed and soon the fireworks underway. Hanging out with Charlie's family was totally awesome. Both Russ and Sue were very welcoming, and Charlie even shared a bit of his Halloween loot with me. Experiencing the old-fashion Burkeville Halloween tradition was something I'll never forget. I think I can speak for Candice when I say, we'll see you guys next year! *NEW* BURKEVILLE FIREWORKS (Oct 31st): Watch Video: http://vimeo.com/31474114 *NEW* YVR's HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST (Oct 31st): Watch Video: http://vimeo.com/31475860 *OLD* BURKEVILLE HAUNTED HOUSE (Oct 25th): Watch Video: http://vimeo.com/31011205
Quickie Post - Happy Halloween @ YVR I can't believe it. I just wrote an entire post, pressed an unknown button with my pinky and now it's gone. I'd like to give a quick shout out to YVR's Retail Team, and all the amazing pumpkin carving & costume contestants. I was completely shocked by some of the entries! Very creative. It was also an honor to emcee the event. This has been easily the best Halloween ever. My girlfriend just arrived and I'm in a bit of a crunch because we're late for a little Halloween celebration in Burkeville (which is a small community here on Sea Island). I took some amazing footage of the Halloween Pumpkin Carving & Costume Contest and will be sharing it with you shortly. For now, this short post and pics will have to do. Happy Halloween everyone!
Quickie Vid - "Plane Incident @ YVR" A small commuter plane crashed just short of the South Runway at YVR yesterday. No specific details have been released on what may have caused the crash. The plane, a twin engine Beechcraft King Air 100, had just left YVR on a routine trip to Kelowna, BC. Fifteen minutes into the flight it turned back due to mechanical issues. The plane turned around about 15 minutes into the flight. On its approach, the aircraft banked sharply left and crashed 900 metres short of the runway on Richmond's Russ Baker Way, hitting a lamp post and a car, said a witness. Dozens of heroic bi-standards rushed to help pull people from the burning wreck. Within minutes multiple Emergency Response teams were on site to extinguish the flames and rush the pilots and passengers to the hospital. I have posted this video on Facebook and invite any friends, family or fans to share their feelings and memories: www.facebook.com/liveatyvr. My heart goes out to the aviation community as well as everyone involved.

Day 69 - "Burkeville Horror" Sounds scary hey? I don't know what's scarier, the name 'Burkeville' or the word 'horror'. Together they create the perfect bone chilling movie title. Most of the Live@YVR followers have a pretty good knowledge of Burkeville, as I've covered the community in a number of episodes. For those who don't know, Burkeville was built in the 1940's to house the workers of YVR's Boeing plant. The best part of Burkeville is that it hasn't changed since the Boeing plant was closed more than 30 years ago. It's like Pleasantville, but with a ghostly twist. Every year the community of Burkeville hosts a Halloween Celebration, but out of all the ghostly houses one house stands apart from the rest. For the last 30 years Tim has been reviving the dead and scaring kids with his Haunted House Mansion. The Haunted House opens Oct 23rd, 2011 and runs until Oct 31st, doors open from 6pm - 9pm. I toured Burkeville during my 2nd week on Live@YVR job (that was back in August), and Tim had already lined his front lawn with skulls and coffins. It's now two months later and his house looks even more scary. I can't wait to visit on Halloween night! Hope to see you there.
Quickie Post - "Jun Bug" I heard rumors of a guy that works 16 hours a day, five days a week and still manages to put smiles on the faces of thousands of airport passengers and workers. I wandered over to the Starbucks in the Domestic Terminal looking for the famed Jun. The counter was bustling and a long line-up poured outside the retail space. At the forefront of it all was a man taking orders, flipping cups and greeting people by name. This had to be Jun. Jun moved to Canada from the Philippines in the early 1990's. Since then he's started a family and secured two jobs. For the last 10 years, every morning has been the same for Jun. He arrives at Starbucks at 3am, preps for the morning and then works the entire morning rush. He then leaves for his second job at 1pm, where he works as a UPS package sorter. Despite his endurance, the most fascinating quality about Jun is his personality. He remembers the names and coinciding drinks for thousands of YVR workers; and he serves each drink with a genuine smile and signature laugh. Christmas is coming up. I would encourage the individuals that told me countless times how great Jun is to pool some money together and buy him a Gift Certificate to the Keg. His favorite food is steak. WATCH THE INTERVIEW WITH JUN: http://vimeo.com/30956450
Quickie Post - "Cathay Pacific Lounge" I spent the entire day yesterday transferring and editing videos. I was pretty happy because I had managed to get a tremendous amount done.. but I was suffering from extreme cabin fever and needed to get out of my room. So I grabbed my security pass, threw on a Hawaiian shirt and went for a walk. One of the CATSA Security Screeners asked if I had been to the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge (International Terminal). "A new place I had yet to discover, I'll go check it out!" They were closed. But just as I was about to walk away I noticed a sign that read, Cathay Pacific - First & Business Class, Elevator to 4th floor. I reached the fourth floor, exited the elevator and just as I was about to turn left I nearly jumped out of my skin! There was this massive 6'5 ft. 'Cathay dressed' Asian woman standing at the end of the empty hallway. With lightening speed I thought, "that can't be right, a 6'5 Asian woman, I'm outta here!" and I jumped back into the elevator. I poked my head around the corner for a second look. It was just a cardboard cut-out. (Great way to welcome customers). I walked into the Lounge and was instantly transported to 2030. The floor was extremely polished, and the balance between white space and wood panel created the perfect "modern-vintage" atmosphere. I felt like a 1960's jet-setter, but in the future. Luckily the lady behind the counter wasn't 6'5 Asian woman. She was average size, and very nice. She had actually heard about LIVE@YVR and welcomed me right in. Their scheduled flight was still a few hours away, so the lounge was really quiet. But I wasn't to concerned about the sound, I was more focused on the food and pouring a nice strong drink. I spent the next two hours in the lounge, people watching, snacking and reading magazine. I would have to rate Cathay's Lounge pretty high. British Airway's Lounge was nice.. but their selection on British style foods was no comparison to Cathay's Asian appetizers. Unfortunately, like most lounges you need to be traveling first or business class, otherwise you're S.O.L. However, if you are looking for a nice lounge to relax in and are not flying first or business, check out the Plaza Premium Lounges. There is a Plaza Premium Lounge in every terminal at YVR.
Quickie Vid - "YVR Lovers" The Green Coat Volunteer Program is the pride and joy of YVR. Over 300 volunteers strong, the Green Coat's assist passengers with directions, flight information and even life advice. There are dozens of Green Coats on shift at any given moment, just look for the "?" sign and you'll most likely find one, maybe two. If you're lucky you may even find Bob and Lucille.
Quickie Post - "Locked Up" A few days ago I took a tour through the depths of YVR's domestic terminal, which was actually built back in the early 60's. We stumbled across the old Sheriff's cell, which is now abandoned and used as a storage area. Although it was dark and kinda freaky looking, I wanted in! Surprisingly, my escort (Lorne Stewart, Terminal Duty Officer) unlocked the huge metal entrance door and let me in! After the initial door, a long hallway brought me to the cell-hold and Sheriff's quarters (800 sq ft in total). It looked as if the Sheriff had just left. Everything was in such good condition. Thick iron cages with slots beside the doors for food or cuff release. The toilets and sinks were missing, but markings and initials were still engraved in the glossy enamel paint. I've asked a number of people if anyone famous had been locked up in there, but no one seems to know. According to airport YVR Operations, the methods of transporting criminals have changed since the jet-setting 60's. High-risk criminals are transported privately, from private hangers, while other criminals are escorted from cell to plane (with no need to hold them). Despite these enhanced methods of transport, there is an undisclosed holding cell in YVR, but its location will forever remain a mystery (even from me, Live@YVR). WATCH THE VIDEO TOUR HERE: http://vimeo.com/30777936
Doggie Watch - "Meelo & Me" Meelo didn't like me. I think his owners were a bit weirded out as well, that was until I told them that the point of my 80 day challenge is celebrate YVR's 80th anniversary. It's not unusual though. When I tell people I'm living in the airport for 80 days their eyes widen and they give a puzzled head tilt, kinda like what dogs do when they're confused. Meelo's owners were at YVR to see their father off to Taiwan, where he runs a physicians practice. Although the family lives in Vancouver, the father remains in Taiwan because his certification isn't recognized in Canada. He travels between Canada and Taiwan three or four times a year to visit his family. I can imagine how tough that would be to be away from your family for that long. I never got any of their names, but there was a daughter (who was very funny), a son (his head was leaning directly on the food court table, fast asleep) and the mom (who is holding Meelo back from attacking me). I guess Meelo is the man of the house when the father's away, so he was a little aggressive. It's all good though. I totally understand where Meelo is coming from. He has a responsibility to protect the family (even though it's kind of hard to take him seriously when he's wearing a knitted Christmas sweater). It was nice hanging out with Meelo and his family in the YVR foodcourt (1am). All the best to you guys!

A Conversation with GE
GE partnered with TED to launch TED Conversations. Here, their scientists and leaders engage with the TED community on key global issues.
Michael J. Barber
This conversation is closed.
A conversation with GE: Why do we avoid making tough health choices? And, what could motivate us to behave differently?
Healthymagination is about better health for more people. We think that part of that mission is making information available to consumers so they can make the best health choices possible. Access to information also helps further the dialogue between patients and doctors.
The TED community embodies a sense of discovery, tackling difficult issues head on. In the spirit of both TED and healthymagination, we'd invite you to share your thoughts on why people avoid making tough health choices. And, what could motivate us to behave differently.
When it comes to seeing a doctor, even the most responsible people may push things off. Drawing on fields as diverse as psychology, technology, public health and behavioral economics, how can we explain why we remember to do our taxes but put off getting screened for serious conditions -- especially when we know that early detection offers the best outcomes? And, how can we design systems and tools that reverse this behavior?
We look forward to hearing your thoughts, perspectives, questions and experiences.
Closing Statement from Michael J. Barber, VP, GE Healthymagination
Well, TED community, now that our conversation has come to a close, I'd like to thank you all for sharing your thought-provoking questions and insightful ideas on patient behavior. I also want to thank Dr. Nancy Snyderman for participating and for bringing her valuable medical perspective to our discussion.
Over the course of the conversation, some key takeaways for me included:
+ It takes time to drive real change in community healthcare systems but it is worth the effort to increase access, decrease costs and improve the quality of healthcare.
+ Being smart and honest with our healthcare providers goes a long way no matter which country we live in.
+ We can save 100,000 lives a year by preventing hospital errors.
+ Learning about health early in life and developing good habits can have a big impact on our healthcare system in the future.
+ As patients become better armed with information through technology, we will see the patient/doctor relationship evolve into something more meaningful and efficient.
+ If good health is a priority in the workspace, these habits will translate into the home.
This has been a great first experience with TED Conversations for me and I hope to meet you all in the digital healthcare space again soon.

Jul 22 2011: I think a lot of why people do not always get proper medical advice and treatment is because of the lack of knowledge for the common every day person. Only doctors and other specialist really understand the risks and causes of most serious diseases and whatnot, so getting screened for things like TB do not make it very high on an individual's "To-Do" list that day. Most people tend to take the "it won't happen to me" philosophy and use it to make up excuses to not get proper medical care. Many cases of serious disease and disorders do not get publicized very often expect for special cases, so it is only these special cases that make a scene to the rest of society and individuals subconsciously compare themselves with these people and realize they are very different people, meaning there is no connection between themselves and that disease/disorder. This is the wrong logic to use but it is used nonetheless. If people become more informed on probabilities of obtaining certain diseases and illnesses then I think it would draw more attention to screenings and precautionary measures.

Founded in 1957 by Guillermo Eguren, Bodega Sierra Cantabria is nestled in the Sierra Cantabria mountain range in the Rioja region of north-central Spain. The combination of altitude (3,500-plus feet) and the Mediterranean and Continental climates provide mild winters and very warm summers. In addition, the wide temperature swings of the region allow the grapes to develop fully, yet retain their natural acidity due to cooler nights.
The Rioja region of Spain is know for its tempranillo, an early-ripening thick-skinned black grape that does well at higher altitudes. Oozing with blackberry and dark cherry flavors, it has the structure of a cabernet, with the fruitiness of a merlot or grenache. Crianza bottlings get one year in oak, and one year in bottle.
While other grape varieties are often blended into the wine, this wine is 100 percent tempranillo, from vineyards that have an average age of 35 years. The Sierra Cantabria is medium dark-red in color. The aroma is drop-dead gorgeous, with a light smoky scent and beautiful red and black fruit. This wine seems perfectly balanced, with slightly sweet and delicious fruit, and an especially nice textured finish and tangy mouth-watering acids. Spain continues to remain one of the best wine regions for bargain hunters seeking high-quality wines. Available for about $15 at Wine Exchange or Total Wine, Tustin.

A Book Review
Ceramics in America
Edited by Robert Hunter
Chipstone Foundation, distributed by University Press of New England, 2012, 196 pages, hardbound, $65 plus S/H from University Press of New England, (800) 421-1561 or (www.upne.com)
Ceramics in America, the scholarly journal edited by Robert Hunter and published by the Chipstone Foundation, widens our perspectives with articles by archeologists, economic historians, and collectors who enjoy research.
In the introduction, Hunter begins the 2012 journal with a discussion of late 19th- and early 20th-century Japanese domestic wares exported to British Columbia. The initial essay is by archeologist Douglas Ross, who writes about crudely decorated Japanese porcelain found on domestic sites in North America. The manufacturing history of these wares previously had been ignored, possibly because of their limited aesthetic appeal. Ross tells the story of the industrialization of Japan's ceramic centers and their global marketing strategy by using an assemblage of these cheap and cheerful ceramics that had been used in a fishing camp associated with a salmon cannery, which was founded by a Japanese entrepreneur 12 miles southeast of Vancouver, where 70-100 Japanese bachelors and families lived from 1901 to 1930. The site was excavated in 2005 and 2006. Ross's study provides a Rosetta stone for archeologists working on other sites in North America and includes a history of Japanese domestic porcelain largely hand-painted in under-glaze blue and some celadon green and over-glazed with enameled colors.
Linda Rosenfeld Pomper writes a fascinating paper about early Chinese porcelain found in Panamá la Vieja, located on the narrowest part of the Isthmus of Panama on the Pacific side. This early port city played an important role in a complex trade route that facilitated the export of silver from the New World by the Spanish. She reminds us that Ferdinand Magellan had claimed the Philippine Islands for Spain and that since the Tang Dynasty there had been a market for Chinese ceramics in Manila. Pomper writes that the first Spanish galleons with Chinese porcelains arrived in Acapulco, Mexico from Manila in 1565, but large shipments of porcelain began to arrive in 1573.
Pomper compares motifs found on shards from an archeological site of a slave infirmary with intact pieces in museums. One piece, currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a porcelain bowl, decorated in blue and with silver-gilt mounts, that was made during the Wanli period (1563-1619). It was once owned by William Cecil, Lord Burghley, who was one of the backers of Sir Francis Drake's voyages. Since there was no direct China trade with England at the time, Chinese porcelains got to England through privateers. The shards from Panama are somewhat debased versions of the underglaze blue decorations on the Burghley bowl, but in Panama, Chinese porcelains were serviceable commodities. Pomper's essay thus documents the early use of Chinese ceramics in Spanish colonies before the China trade flourished in Europe.
Barbara and Ken Beem's article on Baltimore porcelain in the later part of the 19th century chronicles the lives of two men, Edwin Bennett and David Francis Haynes, and their role in Baltimore's production of ceramics. The authors illustrate examples of their work, along with catalog pages showing pitchers, vases, plaques, and flowers, mostly in museum storerooms and private collections. Because Baltimore porcelain is never marked, identifying was difficult. Moreover, when Edwin Bennett purchased the Chesapeake Pottery in 1887, he assumed ownership of the entire inventory of unsold wares. As a result, some pieces made by Haynes were donated to museums by the Bennett family, making it hard to tell which factory produced them.
Leslie and Peter Warwick consider "New Perspectives on Chinese Export Blue-and-White Canton Porcelain." Canton was much cheaper than Chinese porcelain with custom-painted arms or blue and white Nanking porcelain with a different border. In 1850, a 50-piece Canton tea service cost the American consumer only about $3, the equivalent of about $40 today. The distribution of shards suggests that Canton was used in greater quantity than any other porcelain. The peak years of importation were 1817 and 1818, after which it declined sharply, probably because of declining quality and also because of the falling prices of English pottery and porcelain.
Because the scene depicted on Canton remained fixed for more than 100 years, the Warwicks believe the artist/decorators worked from a fixed template. These traditional Chinese images came from The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting (1679-1701), a compilation of earlier books on landscape painting that had been preserved for many generations and then had been collected by a family in China. The landscape pattern on Canton portrays the harmony of nature. When you cross the fence in the border pattern, you enter the garden where everything is symbolic: the rock symbolizes endurance, for example, and the entwined trees (the yin evergreen and yang deciduous) symbolize survival and rebirth. Pointing out that Canton blue and white porcelain illustrated ancient Chinese scholars' belief that all forms of life are interconnected and their appreciation of beauty and balance of nature, the authors wonder if Westerners who used Canton understood the imagery.
The cargoes retrieved from the ocean floor were big news when Christie's and Sotheby's auctioned them in New York, Amsterdam, and London in the 1990's. Those once-new products bound for markets gave us a fresh look at another time. Sean Kings-ley, Ellen Gerth, and Michael Hughes write about the "Ceramics from the Tortugas Shipwreck: a Spanish-Operated Navio from the 1622 Tierra Firme Fleet," which had been destroyed by a hurricane off the Florida Keys. Remarkable ceramic assemblages have been found at the bottom of the sea, and this time the authors used robotic technology and the latest forensic science to find the source of the tin-glazed earthenware produced in the Andalusian region of Spain.
Another paper on a ship's cargo by George L. Miller focuses on the sale of "Ceramics from the 1813 Prize Brig Ann, Auctioned in Salem, Massachusetts." He begins, "On April 13, 1813, 250 crates of 'Liverpool Ware' and 7 cases of 'Irish Linens'" were taken from an English merchant ship by an American privateer during the War of 1812. The auction of the goods in Salem provides an itemized list of plain creamware (indicated by CC on the original bills of lading), earthenware edged in blue and green, painted wares, and fancy ware, which Miller says is dipped ware. The ceramics were not nearly as valuable as the textiles on board. The fact that there were more than 100,000 pieces of ceramics headed for retailers in Bermuda shows the huge volume of tableware exported from England in the early 19th century.
The last three articles are about American utilitarian stoneware made in the early 19th century for the storage of foods of all kinds. Alexandria, Virginia, was a regional potting center. Much pottery made there is stamped with the makers' marks. Barbara Magid, in her first installment of a two-part history, tells about the work of John Swann, who started his potting career in 1803 as a 14-year-old orphan apprentice. Soon after his seven-year apprenticeship Swann bought the Wilkes Street Pottery. He was successful for some years but ran into hard times and had to sell out to Hugh Smith, a prominent Alexandria merchant. By 1825 "Hugh Smith & Co." was stamped on Alexandria stoneware. The Hugh Smith & Co. mark was used from 1821 to 1825 and "H. Smith & Co." from 1825 to 1831. Magid identifies two additional (beyond his kinsmen) employees at the pottery in the 1820's. David Jarbour worked there from 1826 to 1833 and in 1841. A free black man, Jarbour decorated his work with distinctive cobalt leaves and flowers. Michael Morris was there at about the same time. Swann appears to have remained an employee (perhaps intermittently) but left the pottery in 1831 and was replaced by potter B.C. Milburn, who eventually established Milburn's Pottery at the site, the subject of the author's next paper.
The last three papers are on Albany, New York, stoneware. Warren F. Hartmann claims it took 20 years of research to attribute a group of Albany unmarked storage pots decorated with birds or flowers to William Capron (1763-1823). When examples of Capron's marked vessels are compared with unmarked pieces, their ovoid form, firing irregularities, incised lines at the rim, handles rolled and round and placed unevenly, sometimes touched with cobalt where they are attached to the body, and an incised rim at the bottom above a slightly raised footed base make it possible to assign pots of various shades of beige, brown, and gray (some marked "Albany/Ware") to William Capron. Given the large number of marked Cushman pots that resemble these early unmarked pieces, Hartmann believes that William Capron was one of the potters who worked at the Cushman factory.
Paul Cushman, a Manhattan physician and the Albany potter's great-grandson, writes about "Paul Cushman: The Premier Albany Potter and His Stoneware." He has traced some 200 pieces of Cushman stoneware including pots, jars, crocks, coolers, a chamber pot, and a milk pail. Many remain in the family, some are at the Albany Institute of History and Art, and some are in Warren Hartmann's collection. Cushman thinks Capron may have taught Cushman the business. His most distinctive mark is "1809 PAUL CUSHMAN'S STONE WARE FACTORY/ HALF A MILE WEST OF ALBANYGOAL." Some of his wares are misshapen, some have firing defects, and some have primitive cobalt embellishments. Cushman's widow sold the business in 1833. His two sons became wine merchants in Albany. An advertising jug, with their names and the address of the wine shop in cobalt, survives. Their wine business operated for 50 years.
The book reviews are full of nuggets of information. Robert Hunter reviews Aileen Dawson's English and Irish Delftware, 1570-1840, London: British Museum Press (2010). It pictures 143 of the 480 pieces of delft in the British Museum's collection. The author selected dated examples and those associated with notable persons or events. The examples include extreme rarities including a Stamp Act punch bowl. Stamp Act creamware is known, but this is the only delft example. An appendix documents 28 objects destroyed by German bombs. Dawson also includes a history of collecting delft from Horace Walpole at Strawberry Hill through the early 20th century, when serious academic research was published by J.W.L. Glaisher, F.H. Garner, Louis Lipski, and Robert Hall Warren. Hunter praises the book's square format and calls the book a visual treat and a bargain at $70.
There is a review of Robert Finlay's The Pilgrim Art: Cultures of Porcelain in World History, Berkeley: University of California Press (2010) by Professor Emeritus Christiaan J.A. Jörg of Leiden University, The Netherlands. It appears to be a survey of the journey of Chinese porcelain across the world from the time of the Tang Dynasty—the earliest example of globalization. Written by an economic historian, it shows how porcelain from China influenced material culture all over the world.
The third of the Occasional Papers published by the Medieval Pottery Research Group concerns the Harlow Pottery Industries on the western edge of Essex in the U.K. It contains a description of metropolitan slipwares produced by the Harlow potters from the 13th through the 17th centuries. The reviewer, Silas D. Hurry of Historic St. Mary's City, Maryland, points out that these red-bodied slip wares have been misidentified as southeastern Pennsylvania. This study seems like a must for archeologists working on early Colonial sites.
Gordon Elliott's Aspects of Ceramic History is a collection of papers written over a long period of time by a scholar who became the keeper of the Potteries Museum at Stoke on Trent in Staffordshire. The reviewer, Mark Shapiro of Worthington, Massachusetts, points out that Elliott writes about the stream of French immigrants who brought technical advances to the potteries beginning in the second half of the 18th century and had a significant effect through the 19th century. Wedgwood did not single-handedly transform British pottery into a sophisticated industry.
Lois Roberts's Dated in Blue:Underglazed Blue Painted Earthenware, 1776 to 1800, Wales: Gomer Press (2011) gives "visual and documentary information on 194 blue-painted refined earthenware vessels, painted with dates...prior to...firing," writes the reviewer, Jillian Galle of Monticello, Charlottesville, Virginia. Most (92%) are hollowware; 7% are flatware (plates and dishes); one is a pearlware birdfeeder; and another is a screw-top tobacco box. Galle was charged with applying Roberts's data as an archeologist, and "the first question is whether the distinction between creamware and pearlware has temporal significance…." Roberts makes a plea to go back to using the term "pearlware" not "China glaze," as suggested by George Miller and Robert Hunter in Ceramics in America in 2001. Galle writes, "The vessels contained in the book confirm her [Roberts] hunch in a stunning fashion." Then she explains why. The data show the steady decline of creamware over pearlware and that pearlware eclipses creamware in 1780 and blue-painted creamware disappeared by 1800. Moreover, these dated vessels show how difficult it is to define the Chinese style in a period where there is little stylistic change. "It is striking that for a quarter-century consumers did not tire of the blue-painted craze and, when they did, they selected radically different decorations including polychrome painted wares, slipwares, and transfer-printed wares," notes Galle.
This year the journal discontinued the New Discoveries section because of the immediacy of electronic communication. They are posted on the Ceramics in America Facebook page. In this Internet age, when scholars share information so readily, one wonders how much longer we will have a hardcover journal about esoteric research in American ceramics.

Baseball would be a much better game with a salary cap. You'd see better baseball, better managing, more strategy. It would be a lot more exciting. They Yankees will be the best bought team for the next 6-7 years easily.
Salary cap + less days in between playoff games = a much more exiciting game.

The only hope any team has against the Yankees is a season-ending injury for one of their key players. That would make them only as good as the Red Sox and beatable by a very good team. Barring that, every other team in MLB is playing for second place.

I read an article the other day that said the Yankees make more per player than in any other sport in the world by a couple million per player. The article was using GBP as currency but after converted it said they pay an average player salary of 7 million U.S. dollars, or 135,000 a week. They need to be stopped (salary cap) before sports in general goes to opposite of heaven.

They can only guarantee a playoff spot. From there it's a crapshoot who wins the title.

Why would you trade Medlin ? He's insurance when one of the starters goes down, which is likely. Medlin s/b in the starting rotation – NOW !

Taylored Curiosities, is taking her love of tea and her skill at plush making to deliver something quite unique: introducing "Tea Feelings." Using an actual vintage tea cup as the base, Taylor then makes a 'tea mixture' out of resin and layers of natural aromatherapy additives (like rose petals for love, orange slices for energy, etc), and anywhere between one and three of her little plush creatures will be bathing within. I think these are super adorable and quite possibly a must own item for that tea drinker in your life.
her etsy store for them. Price point is unspecified, but I'll assume it will vary depending on the size and amount of work put in.

I love how everyone gets really cute messages in their inbox and I'm just like…….nope……*tumbleweed rolls across my dash*
Life of an actor
I'm so sick of people assuming I do nothing about my career. Like do you think I just sit in my room, watching movies and TV shows and expecting my acting or singing career to fall into my lap? I'm not a naive young 16 year old, just out of school, with high hopes of stardom. I am 27 years old, been in this industry for over 11 years. I have studied my craft for 5 years professionally, I've done TV work for 8 years, movies for 3 years, stage for 10 years and sung for 17 years. Everyday I apply for auditions, opportunities or I build my network…….there is never a day when I don't do something towards my career. You think its easy being an actor? Think again. You have to want it 110% and be insanely passionate and know that doing anything else, would never be enough. Else its not worth your time. Life is hard, being an actor makes it even more hard, but if its all you think about, then its worth it.
Don't ever assume you know me, or what I've done, or what I don't do. I WILL be successful because I have the drive and passion. Every opportunity I have had, I've created for myself. Off Broadway, Grammys, singing with Idina….I've pushed to get myself into a position where I can do these things and be offered these opportunities. Don't judge me until you know the facts.
That moment when one photo can rip your heart out and make you feel unappreciated in one foul swoop
gootislightning said: How did you come up with the idea? :)
Well, we were 4 fangirls who moved in together last year, and with the hilarity that ensued in our house, we thought 'you know what, this would be a great comedy'. Then we started throwing ideas around and realised we were on to something. As far as we know, there's nothing like this out there. And also, there is such a negative connotation when people think of fangirls, we wanted to try and change that. We want to show that actually, these fandoms have helped forge some of the strongest friendships. They have even saved lives, there's so much more to them than the stereotype they are tarnished with.
Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they've given us.
I sometimes wonder why certain things happen, certain conversations, turns of events etc. But it really is how you learn and grow from those things that defines you. I've been feeling really down lately so instead of looking at the negative, I used my feelings to write two new songs, including one for a dear friend who recently passed away. I think it's important to always try and find a way to utilise your feelings as an artist in any way you can, whether the feelings be happy or sad.
It's all about expression and passion, and your emotions are a huge part of that so don't hide them, embrace them

It's still unclear how much oil was spilled into the Mississippi River after two tank barges crashed into a bridge early Sunday morning, a spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard said Monday.
The tank barge that leaked contained about 80,000 gallons of oil, but it's not clear how much of that was released into the river. The Coast Guard said the spill area was "boomed off" and contained, and skimmers were being used to gather oil from the surface.
The Coast Guard said in a release Sunday night that it was notified at 1:30 a.m. Sunday that two barges being towed down the river hit the Vicksburg Railroad river bridge. Both barges were loaded with crude oil and were damaged, but only one leaked, according to news release.
An incident report made public Monday offered few details into the incident, stating that the reason for the crash was unknown.
The two barges were being pulled by the a tug owned by Nature's Way Marine LLC, an Alabama-based company that provides marine transportation services for the dry bulk, oil, and petrochemical industries. The company directed questions to the Coast Guard.

Seattle's Designing Women: New Gardening Book Gives Great DIY Design Tips
For Christina Salwitz, it's always been about design. A double major in fashion and marketing, she could work magic putting together a sharp outfit. It served her well as a Personal Shopper for Seattle based Nordstrom. But after the birth of her daughter, Christina was ready to discover something different.
