Clouds of Smoke, Raining AshesClouds of Smoke, Raining Ashes
"Just keep breathing", says Johnny.
Who knew I'd reach out to a cartoon for motivation?
As I take the last hit from the suicide stick trembling between my fingertips,
I think of this.
"Just keep breathing".
In through the nose and out of the mouth of an ex-smoker,
comes the breath of someone avoiding death.
What's worse than seeing a hearse at your grandfather's funeral?
Seeing the mass of dirt upon the green grass.
Seeing the six foot square of which this coffin is lowered in with care.
Losing all control as I remember this, lighting up yet another stick.
Someday, I will pay him a visit.
But not like this.
I refuse to do it!
Follow in his footsteps like this.
I will make the better decision,
I am doing this for me.
"Just keep breathing",
I am quitting smoking!
"Just keep breathing",
I inhale so deep, my lungs are shaking.
"Just keep breathing",
As the final clouds of smoke disappear in the air,
"Just keep breathing",
As the final rain of ashes hit the gr
I FearI Fear
Crystal Meth.
Wondering if I'm on the right path,
Do I need a map?
If I fell into my own personal Hell,
Wondering if I'll ever get well.
My body is deteriorating,
I'm just sitting here waiting.
Will I hear the chorus and bells?
Or the laugh of Satan?
Which path have I taken?
Will I be able to make it?
Feeling alone and cold,
Rotting until I get too old.
If I fold my hand now,
Will it be too early?
I curl into a ball laying on my bed,
Wishing for the thing I most of the time dread,
(APH) Drunk
Drunk- UsUk
You're at it again
Lost in the world
A glass, some ice
A bartender girl
What happens next
is what I do desire
Every Saturday night
To get in my car
And drive to the pub
Is that the right word?
Fake another scowl
Put in a cruel word
You'll need help going home
You're afraid to admit
So I take you myself
While you scream "Git!"
By the ride home you're asleep
Dead to the waking world
Lost in fantasy land
Childlike visions swirled
I ease your discomfort
With a pillow, removed clothes
Lay my jacket over top
Put a kiss on your nose
Your eyes flutter open
Stunning and green
I smile that charming smile
And wonder what you've seen
Your lips part in a question
Are you asking for more?
You lean up in desire
With the expression I adore
I can't help but comply
To your heartbreaking confession
You close your eyes and smile
Lust is your obsession
Soon I've given in, happily
Though I feel guilty, it's true
Were those words an invitation
Or have I used you?
I look up in such fear
That you'r
I Am a Stuffed Animal Bunny
I am a stuffed animal
Sweet, lovable, cuddly and can keep you company
Silent, small, and shy, but still can make you happy
If you're down, I can cheer you up
Little children are my best friends
Thrown away into the closet is my fear
I raise my head and tilt it towards the skies.
Open my imagination and close my eyes.
Envision a place where I would rather be.
As far away from any judgmental eye that can see.
A place where all my dilemmas become obsolete.
Free from my troubles and the expanding concrete
Confinement that I am forced to exist in.
A place where it doesn't matter if you don't fit in.
A place where nothing but a smile is required.
Where I can think and write to my heart's desire.
A place free from any physical and mental disposition.
Free from the conflicting and persuasive power of religion.
A place where there are adjustable weather conditions.
Where there is no need to enforce any laws or restrictions.
A place where everyone can do exactly what they wanted.
Where everyone would feel appreciated, accepted and wanted.
A place where money is just an undefined and unwritten word.
Where it is promised no natural or manmade disaster will ever occur.
A place that even the man upstairs would speak high
A Homecoming
Carlene was a blonde little girl
Who lived at the end of my block
And spent the most of her summer days
Watching the hands of the clock.
Every day at the strike of noon
She ran outside to her deck
To search for a sign of her Dad there
Coming home from his newest of treks.
But day after day her mother came
And carted the girl away
Whispering in the little girl's ear
"Not today Carly, not today."
But still the girl would watch at the door
For her Daddy to turn the corner
And everyday she prayed and prayed
For Daddy to return to his daughter.
Her mother hid behind the door
And spied on the sad little child
Waiting for a time to tell her the truth
That would destroy her curious smile.
So again the mother would go to the child
And kissed her little girl's palm
"Honey, today is still not the day,
Today your Daddy's still gone."
"But he's coming home soon, right?"
She would ask her mother.
"Right, honey, he's coming soon,"
She wouldn't say anything other.
The girl started school and days woul
The Dark kingdom named Derse.
The storm still rages on,
When will it cease to pour?
Thunders and Lightnings,
I gotta admit, can be a bit frightening!
The breeze is cold and the rain is harsh,
Perhaps this world will become a great, big marsh?
I'm getting tired... There's one thing left to do.
Good night!
Sleep tight,
My little night light.
It's time to slumber, my dear.
To the place of darkened halls,
Where the voice of the HorrorTerrors call!
A bit horrifying than the tall towers of the Golden kingdom,
More isolated than the place of the shining buildings!
Everless, I still enjoy this place,
The Dark kingdom of grace.
I do believe this eye-popping paradise is named Derse;
A perfect name for a remarkable haven! Sweet and terse.
I shall await my next visit to this wonderland,
Once I fall alseep in this world so grand.
The Light kingdom named Prospit
Such a sunny day!
I think I'm gonna be blinded by the sun's rays!
The world is so beautiful,
Even the people are so pitiful!
Though today, I feel so faint,
I shouldn't give a complaint.
For I have long-waited to see,
The world full of golden towers!
The palace of sparkling yellow,
Crowded with people; Oh! So mellow!
More alluring than the disgusting asylum of the kingdom hidden in the shadows!
The clouds of the neighboring planet, such a sight!
Showing the future, so very bright,
Much better than the dark sky of the hideous hell that's full of blight!
Such a memorable experience!
Problem is, I have to bid farewell to this wonderful place.
Such a disgrace!
I shall see you soon, my sweet, gentle kingdom of Light.
Frosted FlakesFrosted Flakes
I pour the flakes into a bowl,
This morning happens to be cold.
I sit down, and with a frown,
I realize,
How closely this bowl resembles my life.
These flakes are like people
Coated in sugar,
And yet so lethal,
Getting away with murder.
(Of my heart).
These flakes,
They settle in a round shape.
Disguised in sweetness.
However, when munched,
These flakes,
They crunch, in discomfort.
I let the pain slide down my throat,
To be led to my stomach,
Where it explodes.
No milk for the pouring this morning.
No lube for the tube going down my chest.
I just hope I can finish the rest.
Poetic PsychosisIn thirty seconds, the next shell would fall. Every night was the same, but every night Lorenzo experienced it as if it were the first time. His throat felt swollen; breathing was hard. He glanced around at the others; young men like him who had been shipped out in the name of honour and freedom. There was no honour in this, no freedom. Only death behind your eyelids, and a fear so gutting, that it carved out your innards and left you a hollow husk. Lorenzo tried to breathe, tried to assure himself that he was still whole, still made of flesh. They had lied when they told him he was ready.
Matteo ran towards him, arms out, rifle swinging uselessly at his side. He shouted for him to run, but Lorenzo remained motionless, unable to move as his friend's warning was lost in the constant blare of gunfire. None of them were ready.
"The cycle is repeating. It is not safe." The voice was soft and weak, yet it carried over the gunfire and battle cries without impediment.

Selected Life Lesson
I've learned how to be less shy. I had to give a speech in front of the whole school
and my legs were trembling. Now I have more confidence about myself.
-Anonymous Life Lesson from Olathe, Kansas
Richard's Thoughts…
As a speaker I know just what this lesson is talking about. In fact, I asked my mentor if she still gets nervous when getting up in front of an audience. She did not hesitate to say, "Yes!" That helped reassure me that I was not in the wrong business.
I have a belief: If you are not nervous before doing something you are passionate about, perhaps it is time to change your passion and start chasing a different dream. It's funny to think about because I know that I still get nervous walking onto a tennis court. It's the fear of the unknown. With tennis, it is not even about the winning and the losing … it is that I have no idea how any of it will play out!
And life can be that way too. But you're living it. You're in it. Sure, there are nervous moments. And scary moments. And stressful moments. (And even more stressful moments.) But even with trembling legs, you can overcome your fears and achieve your dreams.

The Counter Reformation
The Counter Reformation
Meanwhile, the Catholic Church was well aware of the need to reform itself from within. However, reform depended largely on the personality of the pope in power at any given time. This made for inconsistency; reform proceeded slowly, by fits and starts. Some popes felt a genuine need to reform corrupt practices, others hoped to reclaim Protestants who had left the Church, and still others stubbornly refused to support any changes.
Pope Paul III called for a council of high Church officials to meet in the city of Trent to devise a plan for reform. Due to strong opposition from within the Church, the Council of Trent did not meet until 1545 and took more than fifteen years to reach any conclusions. In the end, it supported all doctrines that Protestants had criticized, banned the sale of indulgences, and required the founding of hundreds of new seminaries for the education and training of priests.
Paul III appointed many pro-reform cardinals in the hope that they would continue to elect popes who would fight corruption in the Church and try to restore it to its former glory. This attempt was largely successful; the popes who followed Paul III continued to support reform.
In 1542, Paul III created the Congregation of the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Its purpose was to supervise the Roman Inquisition, whose job was to try people accused of heresy. The Roman Inquisition generally assessed penalties such as fines or public whippings. The most serious sentence it could hand down was one of life imprisonment. However, if the Inquisition handed a prisoner over to secular authorities, it almost certainly meant the person would be executed. It began as a sincere attempt on the part of reformers to root out heresy within the Church. Under some of Paul III's successors, it became a byword for torture and terror. Portugal and Spain had their own Inquisitions; these, however, reported directly to the monarchs rather than being supervised by the Church.
Paul IV, who served as pope from 1555 to 1559, was a particularly strict reformer, focusing his energy on a variety of targets. He came down especially hard on the practice of simony, or the sale of Church offices; although this was a dependable source of income for the Church, it was clearly corrupt. Paul IV also made the Church bureaucracy more efficient by eliminating many unnecessary positions. In 1559, the Church published the Index of Forbidden Books ; this document listed all books that, according to the Holy Office, contained heretical ideas and thus were off limits to Catholics because of their corrupt- ing influence. Not content with banning the books, the Church also burned thousands of copies. Owning a copy of a forbidden book made the possessor liable to punishment under the Inquisition.
The founding of the Society of Jesus, also known as the order of the Jesuits, was a more positive Catholic reform. Its founder, Ignatius Loyola, was born in the Basque region of Spain in 1491. An active military career led to severe injuries and wounds; while he lay still recovering, Loyola passed the time with books, studying the life and teachings of Jesus. Greatly impressed by Jesus' simplicity and humility, Loyola vowed to emulate him. He took vows of poverty, wore the simplest of clothing, and spent his days serving and helping the poor. He published a work called Spiritual Exercises , which advocated a period of intense contemplation and study for any man wanting to devote his life to serving the Church.
In 1540, the pope approved Loyola's petition to found the order of the Jesuits. The society grew quickly as many men joined, attracted by Loyola's high ideals. Like their leader, the Jesuits lived simply and chastely, indifferent to physical comforts or luxuries. Jesuit schools offered the best education then available to children in Europe; pupils from all income levels and all ranks of society were welcomed and treated equally. The Jesuits were characterized by reforming zeal, preferring to persuade non-Catholics to convert, rather than resorting to the bullying techniques of the Inquisition. Their missionary ambitions eventually led them to the most remote areas of the world, far beyond Europe's borders.
The Jesuits were not the only order founded during the Counter-Reformation. The Ursuline order of nuns and the Capucine order of priests, among others, provided both men and women with the opportunity to teach, preach, and serve. Because these orders, like the Jesuits, turned their backs on the pomp, ceremony, and display that Luther and Calvin had found so objectionable, the common people were impressed. Seeing that these Catholic orders practiced the simplicity and purity that they preached, thousands of people were inspired to follow them. The activities of these orders, especially the Jesuits, helped to counteract the effects of the Protestant Reformation and to strengthen and improve the Catholic Church as an institution.

January 26th is Australia Day and a day of celebration for Australians everywhere. It is a day to celebrate being Australian. This year's Google Doodle of beach items seems to categorize the country as a beach resort more than a serious industrial country.
While it is nice that Google provides these Doodles specific to country events - you can only see the Doodle at Google.com.au - but it sometimes appears that the art is very general, especially outside of the United States.
While the date falls during the Australian summer, like the 4th of July in the US, the event is a patriotic one, more about the country than its beautiful beaches.
"On Australia Day we come together as a nation to celebrate what's great about Australia and being Australian. It's the day to reflect on what we have achieved and what we can be proud of in our great nation. It's the day for us to re-commit to making Australia an even better place for the future," the event's official site explains.
True much of the celebration is done at the beach, but not all. Surely Google could have used landmarks like the Opera House or Uluru (the big red rock) or any of its numerous unique animals. Google has offices in Australia and at least one single digit employee that I know of who is Australian.
Being Australian is more than playing at the beach. The country is home to many search professionals and online entrepreneurs who spend more time behind a computer than at the beach.

George Will: Propaganda as pedagogy
Wisconsin's DPI, in collaboration with the Orwellian-named federal program VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America; the "volunteers" are paid), urged white students to wear white wristbands "as a reminder about your privilege, and as a personal commitment to explain why you wear the wristband." A flyer that was on the DPI website and distributed at a DPI-VISTA training class urged whites to "put a note on your mirror or computer screen as a reminder to think about privilege," to "make a daily list of the ways privilege played out" and to conduct an "internal dialogue" asking questions such as "How do I make myself comfortable with privilege?" and "What am I doing today to undo my privilege?"
After criticism erupted, the DPI removed the flyer from its website and posted a dishonest statement claiming that the wristbands were a hoax perpetrated by conservatives. But, again, the flyer DPI posted explicitly advocated the wristbands. And Wisconsin's taxpayer-funded indoctrination continues, funded by more than Wisconsin taxpayers.
In Delavan-Darien High School's "American Diversity" curriculum, students were urged to verify white privilege by visiting a Wal-Mart toy section and counting the white and black dolls. After objections, the school district is reconsidering this curriculum.
Such distractions from the study of calculus and literature are encouraged by CREATE Wisconsin (the acronym stands for Culturally Responsive Education for All: Training and Enhancement), which is funded with federal tax dollars from IDEA, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The disability being rectified here is, presumably, the handicap of insufficient guilt - arising from false consciousness - about white privilege.
Today the school systems in 20 states employ more non-teachers than teachers. The Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice reports that between 1950 and 2009, while the number of K-12 students increased 96 percent, full-time equivalent school employees increased 386 percent. The number of teachers increased 252 percent, but the number of bureaucrats - including consciousness-raising sensitivity enforcers and other non-teachers - increased 702 percent. The report says states could have saved more than $24 billion annually if non-teaching staff had grown only as fast as student enrollment. And Americans wonder why their generous K-12 financing (higher per pupil than all but three of the 34 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development nations) has done so little to improve reading, math and science scores.
Higher education, from which much of such diversity and sensitivity nonsense trickles down, cries poverty while spending lavishly on administrative overhead irrelevant to its teaching and research missions. The Manhattan Institute's Heather Mac Donald notes that in 2011, while the University of California at San Diego was pruning academic offerings, it created a "vice chancellor for equity, diversity and inclusion" to augment a diversity apparatus that included an assistant vice chancellor for diversity; faculty advisers, staff, graduate and undergraduate diversity coordinators and liaisons; a director of development for diversity initiatives; the Committee on Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Issues; the Diversity Council; the Campus Council on Climate, Culture and Inclusion; and much more. Perhaps tens of millions could be diverted from progressive gestures to academic purposes by abolishing on every American campus every administrative position whose title contains the words "diversity," "equity," "race," "ethnicity," "sustainability," "green," "gender," "inclusion," "identity," "interconnectivity," "globalization," "climate," "campus climate," "cross-cultural" or "multiculturalism."
No corner of the country is immune to propaganda pretending to be pedagogy. Lincoln Brown of KVEL Radio in Vernal, Utah, says one student from the University of Utah showed him required reading that told students to "list ways your family may have colluded with or benefited from the exploitation of African-Americans." Another reading was titled "White Privilege - Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack."
Twenty-five years ago, President Ronald Reagan, paraphrasing Education Secretary William Bennett, said: "If you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever. But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with." But only until the soaring tuitions and taxes that fund this featherbedding for administrators of political correctness create a critical mass of parental and taxpayer disgust.

New Delhi: A person's right to free and fair trial enjoys no primacy over the right to freedom of speech and expression of the media, senior counsel Ram Jethmalani told the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Fundamental rights could only be restricted by a legislation passed by parliament and no guidelines by the apex court could shrink them, Jethmalani told the apex court constitution bench of Chief Justice SH Kapadia, Justice DK Jain, Justice SS Nijjar, Justice RP Desai and Justice JS Khehar.
The court was hearing an application by Sahara India Real Estate Corp voicing its grievance over a news channel reporting its proposal made to the Securities and Exchange Board of India on securing the money it mopped up from the market.
The court earlier said that it would frame guidelines for reporting on sub-judice matters.

Me too, on my 5S it seems the same or maybe a tiny bit faster. Actually the update seems pretty minor compared to previous major version number updates. I have had a few glitches, the auto-rotation has gotten stuck a couple of times which never happened before the update. And in the youtube app it's much harder to scroll forward and backwards in a video, but I'm not sure if this is due to an update in youtube or the iOS.

A Bismarck teenager faces 28 felony and misdemeanor charges for his role in breaking into and damaging businesses last year.
17-year-old Devin O'Fallon has been charged as an adult. The case was moved from juvenile court earlier this year.
Court documents show that four other teenagers were also involved in the crimes, which happened at several businesses between July and November last year.
More than $53,000 in property was taken, including thousands of dollars worth of checks and cash stolen from a safe.
Damages to buildings totaled more than $14,000.

Mama Grizzly is clawing back at Levi Johnston ... claiming Bristol Palin's baby daddy straight up LIED when he claimed her family has been actively trying to block Levi from seeing his son, Tripp.
Sarah and Todd Palin have issued a statement to TMZ ... saying, "We have never hidden Tripp from Levi or discouraged Levi from spending time with him. Any suggestion that we have is false and contrary to our core beliefs."
The Palins add, "The last time either of us recall a conversation with Levi was in the summer of 2010 when Levi sat down at our house with us and personally apologized about lies he told to the media about our family. Neither of us have talked to him since that day."
The Palins are referring to the statements Levi made on "TMZ Live" this week ... when he accused the entire Palin clan of hatching a diabolical plan to keep him away from Tripp ... and said Sarah is the one pulling the strings.
But the Palins say Levi is full of moose droppings ... telling us, "We are disappointed that he continues to tell falsehoods about us to garner media attention. We encourage Levi and all non-custodial fathers to be fully engaged and to positively and fully participate in their children's lives. This includes not making misstatements about his child's grandparents."
So Levi apologized to the Wasilla hillbillies in 2010 for statements he made on TMZ Live this week?
Um, ok...
#1--Sheri--honey, if you have to advertise how great your group is on TMZ--you are not anything you proclaim to be. That's just plain pathetic.
I don't believe Sarah and Bristol for a second. I believe Levi Johnston when he says the Palins have prevented him from seeing his son. Those women have proven they will manipulate and deceive anyone to get what they want. And this happens to thousands of fathers. The mother prevents them for seeing their children and then say, "I told you he(the father)is a loser. He doesn't even want to see his own children."
"We encourage Levi and all non-custodial fathers to be fully engaged and to positively and fully participate in their children's lives," says the woman who abused the power of her office to have her brother-in-law fired... branding him as a bad cop, bad husband and bad father.
Thumbs up if you'd poop in Sarah Palin's mouth!!
I wonder if she swallows on a first car date
Hey sarah i fantasize about you blowing me every single night know,when will you make it a reality sweet lips? :)
Of course he's lying. He'll never admit to the new girl that he knocked up that he's a deadbeat loser with his previous child.
the question is her daughter stopping him from seeing his kid it has nothing to do with her mother
Levi Johnston is a smarmy little punk who would be a negative influence on his son. Mama Grizzly is right to smack him down.
I'm no Palin fan, but it is clear to me that Levi is a douche bag.
Levi may be a douche for knocking up girls out of wedlock, and he may be a complete d!ck in general. But I'm sorry, I do believe SP and BP would keep him from the baby. That is the only control they have over him. And they have to have control!! If they don't they freak. I hate to say I believe Levi, especially since he is named after a pair of pants, but I do believe him.
I wish all of these people end up on a floating iceberg very soon. Why can't they just go away? Why is stupidity celebrated?
This P O S is such a lowlife s*** anyone who would believe anything he says about the Palin's is an idiot, as anyone can see it's nothing but bulllllshiiit which he knows sites like this and leftwing psycho's out there go apoplectic .... just as predictable as monkeys going apeshiite over a banana chucked into their cage or a crack rock chucked into ghettoman's cage.... even HE knows these people live to hate anyone who isn't on the baby slaughter/Sodom and Gomorrah train so he keeps feeding the beast and the beast comes back for more and more. Meanwhile all these leftwing momoanklegrabbers are out there whining because Rush Limbaugh called a left wing plant of a s l u t who put herself out there with a target on her back demanding we men out here pay for her freaking birth control instead of her making her johns pay the freight but these same jags shred Palin and her disabled child and daughters day in and day out. Psychopaths.
Both of these poeple make my skin crawl and I love the idea of them all floating away on some iceberg, lol

Hi there,
If you are looking to embed something in your application, I would think that starting with a supervisory circuit IC like this: http://www.myermountain.com/node/24 would be a good place to start.
Disclaimer: This is listed on my website with other surplus components that I have for sale. (I have a $5.00 minimum order and ship as much as possible in a single USPS flat rate box)
I cannot advise on the exact circuitry that you need to use but I am sure a copy of the data sheet would guide you well.

Model Tobacco, Richmond, Virginia
Photo by skipplitt
Great B&W shot of the tobacco company building. It looks like something from a 30s poster, doesn't it?
Closer shot of the facade:
Building info, per Wikipedia:
Built from 1938-40, the Art Deco style Model Tobacco Building is the primary six-story building of a six building collection of buildings comprising a former tobacco factory. Located at 1100 Jefferson Davis Highway (U.S. Route 1), in Richmond, Virginia, the building was designed by the Chicago architecture firm of Schmidt, Garden and Erikson and is known for the 9' tall Moderne MODEL TOBACCO letters which dominate the north end of the building.
It is one of many Art Deco buildings in Richmond, including assorted buildings on Grace Street including the Central National Bank building, the Virginia Union Belgian Building, Medical College of Virginia's West Hospital and Henrico Theater.
Currently the building houses approximately 3.5 acres (14,000 m2) of used cubicle partitions and other miscellaneous office furniture. It also is the site of Russ Parsons' famous collection of "hot dog cars," rumored in certain circles to be worth tens of thousands of dollars.
A developer, Hunt Investments LLC, has proposed turning the property into over 600 apartments, with a projected cost of $84 million.[1] The development will offer an indoor pool, a fitness center, jogging trail, a childcare center, and individual security for each of the housing units. Over 600 apartments will be developed in a mix of both market rate and workforce housing in three phases. Less than five minutes from the central downtown business district via a divided 4 lane highway, this historic Model Tobacco destination will become the flagship for renewal of the Jeff Davis Corridor.

French Beets from Fairway
[It's another day of spotlighting a potential new writer for The Kitchen. Today we feature Chris, from Brooklyn. Welcome, Chris!]
The sweet earthly flavor and deep red color of beets works well in salads, side dishes and even sandwiches, but I don't usually make beets at home. They take a long time to cook and their juice leaves a bloody mess everywhere it touches. I've heard that if you steam beets, their red juice can even stain your ceiling.
I stopped serving beets except as a special treat. Then, at the beginning of the summer, I found these vacuum packed pre-cooked beets from France in the produce section of Fairway. They come fully cooked, peeled and ready to eat.
I tried both the organic ($2.99, 500 grams) and the standard beets ($1.19, 250 grams), both by Rocal (http://www.rocal.fr/). While I liked the larger size of the organic beets, I thought the flavor of the smaller standard beets was better. The non-organic beets have a deeper, sweeter taste, while the organic beets had a slightly more bitter taste.
I used an egg slicer to make quick, perfect beet slices. They were a quick way to add flavor and color to my summer salad.
The flavor of these vacuum packed beets is a bit flat, probably because the beets are steamed and packed in their own juice without salt, pepper or oil. This didn't matter in the summer salads I used them in, but it would probably be more noticeable in a dish like borscht where the beets are the main attraction.
9 Comments
I've always wondered about these beets (frequent Fairway shopper here), but my partner is not a beet enthusiast, so I haven't tried them before -- thanks for the info. I think I have seen other vegetables packaged like this, too -- any experience with related products to share???
Frank -- I tried the vaccum packed lentils, after thrying these beets. The lentils had a great texture and flavor. I used them in a summer saland with hard boiled eggs, cukes and a red wine vinegar dressing.
beets are soooo much better if you roast them, then peel and dress with vinegar immediately.
no matter what you are doing with them.
double wrap tight in tin foil, with some of the water you washed them in still clinging. 450 in the toaster oven . . . and therefore no stained ceilings (chris, that cracked me up)
or roast 'em in the coals of a campfire
(we did this every night on vaco, beets or potatoes, ready for salads the next day)
i get these at trader joe's and i ADORE them!
i love beets all seasons, but in summer its just too darn hot to roast or steam or anything them
these save me!!
nice post chris!!!
Chris is not lying about the ceilings. When my mother made bortsch in her old kitchen, with lowish ceilings, there would be little pink spots everywhere.
Ha! I have a pack in the fridge from TJ's but have not tried them yet. I agree that roasted beets are the best.
Yes, they are a bit flat, but try them sliced in half or whole if they are small, grilled for a short time on the barbie and then serve with topped with slightly-melted goat cheese. Folks think you are a super genius when you do this. Now my secret is out.
What an interesting find - I love roasted beets but as Ann mentioned sometimes it's just too hot to make them.
The ceiling issue cracks me up - I was imagining more of a pink haze but the little pink spots make me think of William Wegman's "Cotto": http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/wegman/card1.html!
ugh, here is the link without an exclamation point at the end to mess it up:

Manhattan, NY (Sports Network) - Grant Mullins scored 18 points to lead the Columbia Lions to a 58-41 rout of the Penn Quakers in an Ivy League conflict at Levien Gymnasium.
Brian Barbour added 12 points and Maodo Lo tacked on 11 points for Columbia (11-13, 3-7) which ended a three-game losing streak.
Tony Hicks netted 19 points as the only player in double figures for Penn (7-19, 4-5) which had a brief two-game winning streak come to an end.
Columbia shot 52 percent from the field, hit six shots from beyond the arc and held Penn scoreless from 3-point range to take a 35-25 lead at halftime.
The Lions failed to record a field goal in the final 15 minutes of the game but Penn didn't take advantage by managing just four field goals in the second period.
Columbia had a 19-12 edge in points off turnovers and 10 more points from the free-throw line (22-12) than the Quakers.

LeftoversWhen theres no power, one must get used to the smell of sour milk.They keep the TV hooked up to a battery, because they still have satellite television.

They dont listen to the TV, it just provides background noise, like the sitcoms of 30 years ago, or old news broadcasts, or anything else thats obsolete.The people left have taken up knitting, or reading, or anything else that doesnt eat up power.

The Hotel Was Filled With PaintingsThe desk clerk didn't turn his head when I saw him. He did look at me though."Can I help you sir?""Do you have any rooms?""All our rooms are available." His voice dropped on the floor as he talked.I took a moment to look around the room. Each wall seemed to be lighted in the same way. Each object's placement seemed intentional. It would be impossible to avoid feeling out of place."I'd like a room on the first floor, please.""I'm sorry, sir, but all our rooms are on the top floor." The clerk's head had not moved once yet. His head faced in a different direction, but his eyes stared at me. I didn't want a room on the top floor, but this was the only hotel in town, so I had little choice."I'll take any room you have."I turned around again to look at the walls. Nothing had changed, which seemed wrong to me, but I don't know why I expected things to have moved arou

The pockets of darkness in the distance never seemed like people, but they are there.These people exist only in the corners of the mind. They seem to disappear when you look in their direction, but they never go away. They mix with the background. They stare from their corner.

Its still reality, but its their reality. Anyone else is an intruder.Upon reaching my destination, these figures stand up and glide away. They are no longer interested with me. Reality has changed again, in the presence of light. This may be my reality, but the darkness is so dominant. Perhaps

The Travelling BathroomIt broke. Then the Earth fell apart. The rocky mountains fell into the sky as a large lump of rock, and India was hurtled toward the moon. The atmosphere dissipated and Lawrence wondered how the end of the world would reach him in his tiny, windowless bathroom.Of course, nothing happened.Lawrence opened his bathroom door to look outside. His room was not there. Instead, he saw the nothing. Darkness was all he saw. Maybe he lacked a sense of futility, but Law closed the door.Curling up in the bathtub is a good way to let your sensibilities overtake your sense of logic.The door opened, and the darkness had gone away. Instead, there was an intense blue fog, and no ground. The door closed again. This was the time to fill the bathtub. Perhaps he might drown. The plumbing works remarkably well in a place without water. Law opened his eyes from underwater. He wondered if it was really his bathroom above the waterline.

The House CrossingThere are moments it pays to be lost.It was late at night when the houses emerged. There had always been rumors about a small patch of houses migrating north.I was driving my car when I noticed the houses moving across the road, so I stopped and turned around. They loomed over the ground like elephants. The lights were on as the inhabitants of one were gathered around the fire. They looked happy and warm. I stood outside, shocked and puzzled, ankle deep in ice and slush, looking like an idiot.The next house passed by my face. Its people were sitting at the dinner table, eating a roast beef. They were chatting pleasantly. A little girl noticed me and subtly waved to me, almost shy to acknowledge my existence. I did nothing, as at the moment I hadn't even the composure to keep my jaw up.The final house passed by my face. These people were not happy. They were arguing over a board game. A child was crying in the corner. A man and his son were yelling in loud and nearly undefinab

It took about 1 ounce to get to work in the morning, and, if you saved up enough, you could use a pint and go on a road trip. The switch to blood went over quite smoothly, discounting those without enough nerves to do it. The hookup was simple, just stick a needle in the input slot, completely immune to infection, and start driving.This man had been driving for 80 hours this week, thanks to meetings in different cities. He was trying to drive through a daze, before he saw the most wonderful arrangement of colors. He had crashed at about 50 miles an hour into the post office building, where a thousand flyers landed around him, asking the man to help save the world by buying the newest car.The engine had stopped running, but something else was sucking the life ou
Highly Sensitive PeopleThe first human job sharing might have been into shaman and non-shaman, with other words: HSP and non-HSP. The earliest task of a shaman or High Sensitive were probably the observation, interpretation and influencing of nature. It was HSPs who recognized the relations between man and nature, observed the weather cycles and interpreted the most favourable time for cultivation, harvesting or chasing. They were mediators between mankind and the non-human or godly world and thus some kind of a primeval priest. The conjuration of natural demons by self-created images with the help of rhythms and plastic models and the creation of communication with the higher powers could be considered as beginnings of ceremony and art. Besides the priesthood, HSPs also dominated the domain of art and science. Further traditional responsibilities of High Sensitives were the tradition and archives. In addition, HSPs often were competent in healing and health, the wholeness and life-help. Another resort was t
Mias and ElleCh12: Beneath The AngerHer anger was uncontrollable, her throat burned and her lips felt tainted while satisfied at the same time. She felt her tattoos pulse like a heartbeat as they often did when she was angered. She could sink it. The ship they were on that was a ways out to see. She could sink it and be done with it all. Though as much as she wanted to ram her fist straight through his goddamn chest and rip his heart out, then squeeze it empty of his life's blood until he died looking up at her in agony, she knew she couldn't. Where she to harm her master her tattoos would punish her. The ancient symbols would poison her blood, tainting it and kill her in a matter of hours. This was the only way to kill her. And despite her centuries of knowing this and making sure she obeyed each master that summoned her, it was still the only thing that she, Azreal, the angel of death, all powerful immortal demon, was truly afraid of.The thought of dying, of ceasing to exist, all those years, wounds, blood
Mias and Ellech.22: Racing Against TimeWith each crack of the whip a new wound was opened, blood stained the stone floor as if morbid rain had fallen. His body hung limp from the chains that he was bound so hopelessly with. Arian's eyes widened as he heard the air around him whoosh with the descending of the man's arm. He screamed as another one of many wounds was torn open on his back. Rivers raced down his chest, a mix of tears, sweat and blood."Oi! How come you're not out, eh?" The man's voice was frustrated yet laced with joy.It sickened Arian to his very core. He had long since stopped trying to reason with the man, as it seemed he had no morals, nor feelings. As the whip came down again the man spoke again."Why ain't ye down yet boy?"Arian hissed as high speed leather met his flesh and it ripped another cut open."Because." He gritted out through clenched teeth. "Because I'm stronger than that, because I know I've got to stay awake and alive to save my friends."The man laughed coldly. "Yer friends are
Mias and ElleCh19: A Ghost In The MirrorThe room was silent except for Milos's footsteps as he walked to the tall silver throne in the room. He walked up the steps and sat, sitting back comfortably as he watched them all stare at him. "Come!" he said with a loud laugh."Sit! Eat! This is a time for merriment and festivities!" His eyes followed them as they each walked stiffly to a seat.He noted how they did not sit close to each other, just broke off and sat at different sides of the long table. He snapped his fingers and smiled inwardly as the doctor's boy flinched. A servant came skittering in a beat later with a goblet of wine then left as if there were hounds on his heels.Milos drank from the goblet as he watched his guests from over the rim. Elias and the doctor's son picked at their plates while Mias looked up at him occasionally with a glare while his special guest's lovely eyes constantly regarded Milos with a steady gaze of gold.His eyes flicked over to Arian and his special guest. Arian looked down at his plate
Mias and ElleCh18: Together again.With a sigh Elias stood from the bed and went to wash. When he returned he dressed in a suit of dark cloth and stared at himself in the mirror. As always the scars were right there, staring back at him, mocking him. Azreal had said that she could take them away for a time but he had changed his mind at the last moment. Perhaps he could live with his scars if his brother did not.He turned away from the mirror and left the room. Walking deliberately slow to mentally prepare himself for what it would be like to see his father again. He took slow, even breaths and tried to calm his mind as thoughts raced through it. He wandered down the hallway only looking up when he noticed where he was. Elias could recognize the door he stood by as if it were his own shadow. He reached out slowly and tried the knob.It was locked and Elias realized his fingers were shaking as he turned the knob all the way until it clicked open. The room was dark. It smelled old, but other than that it was untouched. Y
Mias and ElleCh11: ConsiquencesLight poured in through the windows and fell on Azreal's closed eyelids. They opened and stared up at the ceiling. She turned her head on the pillow over to look at a sleeping Mias, who's naked body was just as wrapped up in the silken sheets as hers' was. She sighed softly, remembering the previous night. He had carried her up the stairs and laid her down here on this bed, where they had made each other forget their problems. It wasn't love, couldn't be farther from it, but it was the distraction that Azreal had needed for centuries, and for that she was grateful to him. But his gift to her had come at a price; you could never sleep with a demon without wanting more. Her one moment of weakness may have very well just cost him his will.She sat up quietly, and kissed him on the forehead lightly, her hair falling down to caress his chest and face. "Elle" he mumbled after she had pulled back. He had said that same name last night. It hadn't bothered her at all, now it did. Guilt crashed
Mias and ElleCh14: LettersElle heard the galloping hooves come down the road and stood, going to open the door. She didn't get the chance though, Arian swung the door open and strode inside, a look of panic on his face, sweat beading on his forehead as he breathed hard. "Arian!" she said following him into the kitchen."Arian what's wrong?!" She grabbed his shoulder in an attempt to stop him, to no avail. He was dead set in hurrying into the kitchen where he scrambled some papers and books on the kitchen counter, obviously looking for something."Elle!" he said, whipping around."There was a letter on this table, it was unopened. Where. Is. It?" She thought for a moment, remembering clearing off the table to get ready for dinner but where had she put
."Oh! That!" she had set the important looking letter on the desk in his room.Elle told him so and he went off to find it. Sighing she went over to the stove and placed a pot onto of the burner, readying it to begin making supper.There was a slam

Mias and ElleCh13:The Returning of Sarian"What?" He asked quietly.Outside he was calm, while on the inside his pulse was pounding, heart racing, his mind whirling.To be free. Free from the mark that had followed him his whole adult life. To be free from the reminder that plagued him every time he looked into the mirror.It had been a dream of his that he'd never thought in a million years would be fulfilled.Even if it was not permanent, still, to be able to look himself in the eyes without remembering what a horrible mistake it had been to try and stop his brother from something he would regret doing.It was a miracle he had thought would never come true, and yet here was someone who could do the impossible, could save him from his past. If only for a small amount of time, if even for a second, he would take it."Do it. Now." He demanded, but she shook her head."It requires a ritual that I would need things for. Taking a Scar of the Damned off is no easy feat, it would take an act of good in equal value to remove it perma
Conversations: Cell PhonesI have conversations with myself.I want to talk about cell phones. I think they are useful, and I dont think they are used properly. My evidence is anecdotal in nature, but I dont think this would be interesting if it were factual.I used to be in plays at my high school. It really changes your perspective on whats going on in a play. For every few people onstage, there are at least a few people flipping out backstage. Then there are the people who arent performing that night, if you have multiple casts. For us, that meant we showed up and goofed around silently in another room.We mainly played games. Truth or dare was off the table, as dare usually entailed making noise, so out of necessity, we played truth or truth. It was my favorite thing, as Im usually prepared to divulge every detail of my life at the drop of a hat. It also gave me the chance to ask the weirdest question that I could think of.

Perfect Window Treatments for the Kitchen or Bathroom?
Though I generally find myself drawn to fabric drapes (especially those with excellent room-darkening properties in the bedroom), my love of textiles falls down when it comes to kitchens and bathrooms. All my previous homes have featured privacy glass in the bathroom and small kitchen windows whose location afforded privacy. Now however, I have a guest bathroom with a regular glass window and a kitchen with a giant picture window, and both windows are on the front of the house looking right onto the street.
Right now I have a curtain up in the guest bathroom but since the window is right next to the tiny shower stall area, it gets soaked anytime the shower gets used. The kitchen has a giant wooden blind that seemed like a good idea but isn't- grease and moisture and the ever-present sand make keeping the white blind clean a disaster, especially since I have to climb onto the kitchen counters and stetch over the sink to reach most of it.
I'm torn. My personal preference is for no window treatments in the kitchen and bathroom but that just isn't an option here. I need some privacy so I don't have any more conversations with my neighbors about my polka dot PJs and so my guests are able to use the bathroom, but my exisiting solutions are just not working. I'm looking for advice — what are the best solutions for window treatments in the moist and messy environments of the kitchen and bathroom?
25 Comments
I would get some sort of frosted film to put on the windows. Adds privacy without needing curtains or blinds.
I agree that frosted film is the perfect solution for the bathroom, but I think it would be odd in the kitchen. Normally, I would say a nice roman shade for that window, but since you need to be able to take it down to wash frequently, that might not be great either. What about a roller shade....it could be easily pulled down when necessary, but rolled back when you want light...You could also easily wipe it down when necessary. Its not the most interesting or attractive option, but it is a simple and clean look.
Good Luck!
Plants. :) My kitchen window is completely filled with plants of different heights and vines in hanging baskets, and I love it. Light can still come through, I get lots of great color, and the herbs are pretty handy right there too. Being on the second floor, I'm not really worried about needing complete privacy so it works great for us.
Here are some examples of nice window film you can get:
I second the window film idea for the bathroom. For the kitchen, maybe a cute Roman shade out of oilcloth that wipes clean really quickly?
Another fan of the window film, or the spray on stuff (not sure if you rent/own).
As for the kitchen, what about a cafe curtain? You can make it as high (or low) as you need to provide privacy, but still keep a lot of the window open. With some seam/fabric tape and some curtain clips, DIYing a custom one shouldn't be too difficult. It also shouldn't be too far out of reach/high to take down and throw in the washer when needed. Just an idea.
Roman shades! I'm also a textile-lover so they're the perfect way to get fabric and pattern into the room without any drapiness to get in the way.
I have to add - it seems like lots of people like the window film stuff but I tried it once and it gets so gross I just can't do it again. Avoid for sure!
I've been finding myself drawn to roller shades lately. I like how minimal they are. Probably go with them in the living room. Still not sure about the kitchen and bathroom.
My mother-in-law used a frame with stained glass in it to place over the window...worked great, and made a statement inside AND out!
@coni! You just solved my ugly view problem out the back door! Now to hunt for a beautiful stained glass piece!
I have the window problem--right in the shower, in fact-- and I have a basic white shower curtain in there. It looks fine from the outside, and since the regular shower curtain covers the cut off bottom from the inside, it works for me.
I second the plants suggestion for the kitchen or doing a stained glass-- you can do a faux stained glass with colored plastic wrap like they use for gift baskets.
For our bathroom, we hung a beige shower curtain liner in front of the window. We cut it to fit the window so it wasn't hanging all over the tub, and cut it so it has two layers as well - that cuts down on silhouettes being seen from the outside. Works pretty well. You could then hang something fancier against the window without worrying about destroying it.
I like the roll shades idea for the kitchen. But I would do something that is washable so you can clean out the fancy smells that like to hold on to fabrics. In ours, we just have a tension rod in the window with some basic drapes cut to fit. They can be pushed to the side or adjusted from top and bottom as needed. Super easy to wash too!
Simple 24" tab top cafe curtains on a tension rod for the kitchen. Frosted privacy film for the bath.
For the bathroom window, you can buy clear contact paper that has a texture to it and apply it directly to the window.
To make for easy installation, wet the window with soapy water and put on the contact paper. The soapy water allows the contact paper to slide and you can remove the bubbles from it by using a credit card.
I used this on my glass shower doors and it worked great.
seconding contac paper for the film--it's about a quarter of the price of the stuff west elm, etc. sells. http://www.amazon.com/Lace-Window-Film-Contact-Paper/dp/B001B0529M
I would like simple curtains hung on the Ikea Trolig rod--it spring loads so no drilling--the curtains clip on so they are not full and billowing over your sink. I made my bathroom curtains but you could experiment with tea towels of they were long enough. P.S. I have wooden blinds in my kitchen and don't find them difficult to maintain.
Emma Jeffs window films are great.
I have the same problem in my kitchen and bathroom. I am looking at plantation shutters. Something like this: http://www.plantationshutterslondon.co.uk/popup626e.html?g_id=33, where they only cover the bottom half of the window so you still get light. Not sure how easy they will be to keep clean, but they seem durable and user friendly.
I used the Scandinavian Design Center window films for both my kitchen and bathroom. I was skeptical too, but was pleasantly surprised by the results. The bigger panels for the kitchen windows were a little more difficult to put up (trapped lots of pug hair, which for some reason seems to be constantly floating through the air in our apt), but the film worked great for the little window in our shower. I used the one with the geraniums and even though I hate all things cute, I am totally in love with how the window looks now.
agree with Coni-still lets light in but get privacy.
Full disclosure: I am a Budget Blidns franchisee--a custom window treatment business. That said, we often do a 3M frosted film in bathroom windows (professional grade and professionally installed), but more often we do a top down bottom up cellular shade because it allows for privacy but still have some open window. If custom quality is not in your budget, there are sources for cut downs. In kitchens, Murano soft horizontal blinds are great behind the sink. Polyester slats that are light filtering even when closed. When ordered as routless, the slats can be removed and cleaned gently with soap and water. We work in a rural area and the farm folk love these things because they can clean them so easily.
If you want the look of a curtain, look for a performance fabric that is designed to be used outdoors. This should hold up well to either bath or kitchen issues.
I like the idea of putting a film over the bathroom window, but consider bamboo rolling shades for the kitchen. My parents have them, and I think they'd work well with your interior.
if you have vinyl windows, then window film in the bathroom is great. But if you have wooden windows, even painted (like me), you'll want to cover the frame a bit to avoid rot. I found a nice shower curtain liner at target that looks like rice paper. let's in light, but affords privacy. I cut it down to size and sewed a pocket for a curtain rod, using it for only the bottom 2/3 of the window. I've also used stained glass panels in the past, and highly recommend them for the bathroom or kitchen window.
These windows are perfect candidates for our bottom up roller shades, in a solar shade moisture resistant vinyl fabric.

Does anybody have any links to a good (idiots guide) tutorials as to the setting up of the smoothwall web filtering ???
We have been told by our local authority today that come the 8th April we will lose all central services as they will no longer be supporting schools at all, this means we will lose web filtering, anti-virus, vpn access, possibly internet connection as our DNS points to a central authority server.
So now on top of everything else I have to deal with I now have all this to contend with as well, I am considering sophos for AV and smoothwall for web-filtering as both are provided by the YHGFL and I believe there pricing structure is excellent, so just VPN and DNS to sort after that.
