A couple of months ago I worked with Tina, a woman in her mid-50s who had been working out regularly for many years. No one who knew her would call her overweight or out of shape, but Tina described herself as "skinny fat" and said she didn't think she was getting a big enough result from all her hours in the gym.
I'm telling you her story because it's one I see played out every time I go to the health club.
Tina and her sisters are dutifully showing up–and going through the motions. They're using the same exercises, the same machines, and the same weights today as they did six months or a year or five years ago. It's obvious they're no longer progressing because their current workouts are, in a word, effortless.
If this describes you, think back to when you started strength training. The weights felt heavy. You were probably wasted by the end of the session and sore a couple of days later.
But then your brilliant body responded to the challenge by getting stronger, making what exercise scientists call "specific adaptations to imposed demand." And because of that successful adaptation, your formerly butt-kicking workouts are now easy-peasy.
The cornerstone of strength training is so-called progressive overload, which simply means if you don't regularly up the ante, you stall.
Not to worry. If that's happened to you, it's pretty simple (note that I didn't say easy) to bust through your resistance-training plateau. All you need is greater intensity–a new demand to adapt to. Here are six ways to get it:
1. Increase the weights you're handling. Not every workout has to be, um, balls to the wall. But you need some tough sessions if you want the body-shaping, calorie-burning and bone-building benefits of hefting weights. So next time you lift, see how many more reps you can do with the weight you've been using. If you can perform two or more reps (using good form) with that weight, it's time to up the poundage.
2. Vary your repetition ranges. Don't always stick with the often-recommended eight to 12. Mix things up with some heavier sets in the three- to six-rep range and some lighter sets at 12 to 20 reps. Each range emphasizes different benefits: low reps are especially good at building strength; the mid range, size; and high reps, muscular endurance. Perform all reps with correct form. The amount of weight is correct–in any rep range–if you approach or reach temporary muscular failure (meaning you can't do any more reps) by the end of the set.
3. Reduce the time you spend between sets. If you're resting for two minutes or more, cut it to 60 seconds–or even 30. This strategy will increase your workout intensity even when you don't lift more weight. And it's an obvious time saver. Note that if your goal is maximum strength (e.g., you're a power lifter), you need those longish rest periods, at least on heavy days.
4. Perform giant sets. The old-fashioned way to train is to do a set of an exercise, rest a bit, do another set of the same thing, rest, and do a third set. With giant sets, you perform three or more different exercises back to back, then rest and move on to another giant set. A giant set on an upper-body day might look like this: one set of bench presses, followed by shoulder presses, followed by dips. If you train your whole body during every gym session, you can mix and match body parts: squats, then bench press, then lat pulldowns, for example. After each giant set, rest for a couple of minutes or (my preference) jump on a treadmill or walk around the gym instead. Added benefit: Giant sets burn a ton of calories.
5. Focus on multi-joint moves involving larger muscle masses. So instead of doing dumbbell kickbacks (an "isolation" movement that employs just one joint–the elbow–and one primary muscle, the triceps), perform the bench press (which works chest, shoulders and triceps) and/or dips (which engage chest and triceps). Instead of doing separate exercises for lats (the large muscles of your mid back) and biceps, perform seated rows or assisted pull-ups–both of which hit the pulling muscles of your back and arms at the same time. Also, when you emphasize multi-joint exercises, you end up lifting a lot more weight and developing much greater functional strength.
6. If you've been using machines primarily or exclusively, it's time for free weights. Machines eliminate much of the postural and stabilizing work of weight training. But when you use free weights, you have to control them yourself. This brings additional muscles into play and does more to improve your balance and overall strength. If you're not sure of the correct form for free-weight exercises, hire a trainer for at least a session or two and have her demonstrate the safe way to perform key basic free-weight lifts.
Try one or more of these strategies, and let me know what you think. They worked for Tina!

I don't know what I've been doing with my life since Daiso Japan opened in Irvine's Heritage Plaza last year, but let me tell you—I've been missing out! Our art director Mindy Benham took a few of us on a field trip there a couple of weeks ago, and now we're obsessed. The variety of products is dizzying, and we could have stayed there for hours looking at each item, trying to decipher what everything was (a lot of the labels are in Japanese, and the guessing game is just part of the fun) and filling our baskets with the most random and cutest merchandise.
Hello Kitty strawberry marshmallows? Sure! Charcoal face mask? Why not? Panda oven mitts, patterned rice bowls, and polka dot nylons? I need them all! Did I mention that pretty much everything in the store is $1.50? Because that is amazing, and also dangerous. It's ridiculously easy to blow $50 without thinking. There's also an entire section devoted to Japanese snacks—Pocky anyone?

How to cook rice in the microwave, perfect every time.
We used to live in planned community before we moved out here on our homestead. It was one of those neighborhoods where you signed a contract stating that your mulch will never be less than 6″ deep. We got a letter once that we were in violation of contract. someone actually TOOK A RULER TO OUR MULCH. Who has that much time, really!?
When we designed that house, we were given a palette to choose from for our paint colors, inside and out, carpet colors, countertop colors and cabinet colors. We had flown in to do the design session, so we only had a few hours to plan the entire house. Such pressure. I was just newly pregnant at the time, so my patience, mental state and synapsing were at lowest levels.
That's how we ended up with a $1,300 microwave.
For the 9 years that we lived in that house, we used the microwave to heat up leftovers and to make popcorn.
It wasn't until we moved here at our current home that I started playing with the microwave. We've still have yet to tear up this kitchen to remodel (waiting for my editor to give me a-ok on all edits of my manuscript before I render myself kitchenless for 6 weeks.)
My kitchen is smaller, the stovetop uneven, the hood sucks (haha) — so I've been looking for ways to be a little more efficient with the microwave, which is just a regular ol' microwave, not a fancy $1,300 unit.
I bought this Nordicware Microwave Rice Cooker on a whim (hey, it was only $11!!!) just to test it out – totally expecting rice failure. You see, I'm a rice snob. I invested in a $300 Zojirushi, the mother of all rice cookers.
Boy was I wrong. Fluffy, perfectly evenly cooked rice from the microwave. Side by side, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between $300 rice cooker or $11 rice cooker. Just don't tell my husband that, okay? He'll never let me shop for expensive cookware again.
btw, this is regular raw rice – not that tasteless parboiled Uncle Ben's stuff.
The secret to microwaving rice is to add the right amount of water. Too much water = soggy rice. Too little water = dry rice. Just right water = just right rice.
Start with regular white rice (not the half-cooked, parboiled kind) – you can use basmati, jasmine, sushi rice.
*I'll have to write separate post on how to microwave brown rice and wild rice next time – different water + timing instructions
For 4 people, add 1 1/2 cups of rice. This will make about 3 cups of cooked rice.
Pour in some cool water and swish the rice around to wash it. Carefully pour out the water, keeping the rice in the pot. Just tilt the pot – the water will pour out and the rice will stay at bottom. You can even use your hands to cup the rice to prevent it from spilling out as you pour the water out. Repeat this 3 times more. Your water will be less cloudy each time. Note – the water will never be completely clear – rice is a starch, starch will cloud the water a bit!
The purpose of this is to wash the rice, getting rid of any dirt, dust and extra starch that coats the rice. Extra starch on rice makes the rice very sticky and gummy. When you wash it away, you'll notice a big difference in the quality of the cooked rice.
Once you're done with the washing, pour the water out again.
Now we're going to add the cooking water. Add enough water so that it covers the rice by 1″. Sure, you can break out your ruler and do this, or you can do what my Dad taught me, use your finger to measure. It's an Ancient Chinese Secret (okay, perhaps back then they didn't have measuring cups.)
Put your clean finger in the pot so that the tip of your finger touches the top of the rice (don't go all the way to the bottom – we are measuring from top of rice.) For most ladies (and men with small hands) 1″ is where your first knuckle is. DONE.
For men or ladies with large hands, just add enough water to go below the knuckle (or use your pinky finger.)
Okay, let me show you again, this time with my mad Photoshop skillz.
*Thanks free clip art! (though originally he was holding a cell phone)
The method is the same.
See? Ancient Chinese secret.
Put the lid on. Notice this rice cooker has air vents – this allows the steam to escape during cooking, which is good. If you use a microwave pot that has a very tight fitting lid, your lid will explode off. If you are using a any other microwave vessel (even a Pyrex!), put the lid on but just set it on top. Corningware glass lids will work fine – the steam will escape between the glass and pot.
Microwave for 9 minutes on high. Let it sit for 3 minutes undisturbed to finish cooking. Then it's done.
You've now cooked rice in less than half the time it takes, cheaper than my ahem, $300 machine, using less energy than a stove, and you don't have to babysit the pot.

How to cook rice in the microwave
To make perfect microwaved rice, follow these instructions.
Ingredients:1 1/2 cups white rice - basmati, jasmine, sushi rice
2 1/4 cups water
1. Scoop the rice into the microwave-safe container, pot or steamer. Fill the pot with water and swish the water and rice with your hands. Pour out the water, keeping the rice in the pot (just cup your hands around the rice to prevent it from pouring out). Repeat for 2-3 more times until the water is just barely cloudy.
2. Add enough water to cover the rice by about 1" - or place your finger straight down touching the top of the rice. The water should meet your first knuckle (ladies or men with small hands) and just under the first knuckle (men or ladies with big hands)
For 1 1/2 cups of rice, this is approximately 2 1/4 cups of wtaer
3. Microwave on high for 9 minutes. Let rest covered for 3 minutes.
I'd love to see you do a post on brown rice like you mentioned. I'm going to have to try this although I have no trouble making mine in a pot on the stove.
I have used the microwave to cook rice for years. I rinse the rice and use 1 cup rice to 1 3/4 cup water, a little less water if I'm going to use it in a stir- fry. I put it on 5 minutes at full power then 20 minutes on medium low ( power level 3 of 10). Comes out perfectly every time, and no "boiling over".
Great post! I have a similar rice cooker but I've never cooked rice in it (it's great for steaming vegetables!) May I ask if you could tell me the power rating, or wattage, of your microwave? Mine is 650W – it is quite old, and I understand more modern micros are more powerful, so I will probably have to adjust cooking time.
Good luck with the remodelling project!
No boils over? Thanks for the water level tip!
Interesting post. My grandma taught me a slightly different method of measuring water (lived in Hong Kong 60 years before moving to the states). We had an 8 (I think? it was HUGE) cup rice cooker growing up, but usually cooked about 3 or 4 cups most days unless there was company over.
Anyhow, she always told me to use my finger to measure the depth of the rinsed rice and top it with water with similar depth. With the daily amounts we cooked, it ended up right around a 1 inch depth, so I'm sure we had similar results as what you post above. I don't recall the larger batches turning out any differently, though (which would have used more water than your depth of 1 inch… close to two inches, in fact)
It's always interesting to compare and learn techniques. Thanks for sharing! I've never tried making it in the microwave before, but may have to give it a try, since the shortened cook time is rather appealing.
My mind is blown. I have an awesome rice cooker too but this intrigues me!
Love your mad photoshop skills! And your rice cooking microwave skills too!
My dad taught me the same method! Except that it was an ancient Filipino secret! 😄
And, of course, I've taught this first knuckle trick to my husband, daughter and granddaughter.
I love the first knuckle trick. I learned that when I worked in Hawaii for a few months, and I haven't seen anybody besides me use it in years. So simple, so useful
most indians use a similar rice water measure with fingers technique. Cant explain it, but no matter how you cook the rice – electric rice cooker, pressure cooker, microwave – it always is perfect
what a great post! so helpful with the photos!
Hahaha this is so crazy to read because I've been using the same trick for years but I didn't know it was an "ancient Chinese secret." Thanks for confirming that it works!
I know rinsing rice makes it fluffier, but it also rinses away the added minerals, including iron and b vitamins, which are very helpful for those with dietary restrictions (or who don't get a balanced diet). My household is gluten free, and we often struggle with balancing the intake of vitamins and minerals to avoid supplements.
Just wanted to put that out there….
haha. The microwave sure can be a underestimated tool of trade.
do you think this will work with brown rice? i bought korean brand brown rice which was 50% hulled.
Do you worry about microwaving plastic? I would love to cook rice in half the time, but I am scared to death of putting plastic in the microwave. How can you be sure it is safe even if it is made for the microwave?
About the finger measuring thing-
THANK YOU. My mom does this–and I've seen it every night of my life until I left for college–and I do it when I make the rice around her (but I really just eyeball it?) but I never knew what to look for when I used my finger.
I gathered up the courage to ask my mom once before. This is similar to the embarrassment asking your best friend what her first name is because you haven't known it, actually for the last few years. Anyway, the conversation went thusly (albeit in Cantonese):
"So… what am I actually looking for when I use my finger to measure…? How do I know there's enough water…?"
"What do you mean? You do this." [She demonstrates by putting her finger in the water] "That's how."
"Wait, what? What how? Is the water supposed to go to a certain point? How far down do you poke?" (She didn't rest her fingertips exactly on the top of the rice, it would dive in a little bit so where she stopped would be a ambiguous.)
"You do that. That's how."
"That's how. I don't know why you don't understand."
And that is the story of how I continue to pretend I understand things I do not.
Just thought you might like to know that Pampered Chef's microwave rice cooker works beautifully using your method too–I was so much happier with our rice after following your directions, even though the rice wasn't "bad" before. Now I just have perfect, restaurant quality Jasmine rice. Too bad it was more expensive than the Nordicware one, I feel gypped! (Of course, I only bought it out of guilt trying to help a friend with her business, so at least it is a useful kitchen thing now instead of a dust catcher!) It is absolutely wonderful, I am so glad I started following your blog; you never disappoint!
Shannon, I just had to tell you that I can relate to your post. My mother's recipes and amounts are ambiguous, too…amounts are given as "until it looks and tastes right" or "as much as you like," directions that never fail to make me crazy! I've tried to follow behind her and guesstimate, but it is nice to know Jaden has our backs when our mothers can't explain!!
Love your post, especially love that "Add water glug glug glug" picture lol!
I think I will try microwave rice tonight. Regarding the knuckle measuring method, isn't that amazing? I learned that when I was a kid and have been using it since! However, it's not *that* accurate lately because we are using "new" rice. Even with the same brand, the measuring seems to be off every time we get a new bag :S
May I ask how many watts does your microwave use? I have an 1150 watt unit and it cooks way faster than my old 750 watter and power will definitely affect the cooking times for pretty much everything you place in it.
yes, this info would be really helpful – I'd like to try the microwave way too
Thank you, and I appreciate the prompt reply.
Thanks! I look forward to trying it
Thank you!!!! I'm making rice this way from now on!!!
Thanks for this post. I used your link and purchased the one you recommended. By the way, we have a family friend in common. My sister's mother-in-law (Mrs. C Woo) is very good friends with you mother. I was raving about your blog while at their house the other day and pulled it up on my iPad. She said, "I know her! I always share recipes with her mom!"" She was very excited to see you doing so well.
I usually cook on the stove top, 20 mins and no problems.
The microwave would save me time but do you use cold, warm or hot water. I ask this as I'm so use to my 'instant hot faucet' that I use for most cooking projects.
I have lots of friends and family who use this ancient *Japanese * technique for measuring rice, but until now I've never understood what they were actually doing! Thanks for the step by step explanation. In a regular rice cooker I get great rice by draining the rice in a strainer for 10-15 minutes after rinsing and then soaking for 30 minutes to all day after adding water.
Tip: make sure the container you use is big enough. I obviously put too much rice in my Corningware and it boiled over. BUT! The rice still came out just right!
That's cool- I only started your post after working with your brother. :-). Your pictures are so cute. I remember learning the knuckle method from my mom and asking her "why do we have to use the pinky for measurement." "will rice taste better if you use the thumb or pinky finger for measurement." "what if one had been snipped of their pinky by the triad?!". You've also managed to sell me on the NordicWare rice cooker. Too bad I didn't read your post before buying the "Boiley egg boiler" for microwaving single eggs (I use it as the "off to college" kit to go with the microwave.). This would've been simpler than a rice cooker…
I'm in Hawaii. I never heard of anyone using the finger method outside of Hawaii. Very interesting, Grashopper. I use the finger for brown rice in a regular rice cooker. Have you perfected the time for brown rice? Ty
I have been baking rice in the oven for years with awesome results, but I hate turning on the oven in summertime. This is the perfect solution for me, Jaden! Thanks for sharing this method!
Thanks so much for this easy microwave rice instructional. I have cooked rice in the microwave for cooking fried rice and even though i put it on a tray in the fridge for a day or two, it was still sticky/glugy. I have just done it your way and I could not be happier!! How easy to remember, add water to first knuckle above the rice and voala!! Also 9 minutes not 10 like all the other recipes say – thanks again – your a hit in my eyes
That is exactly they way my mom showed me how to make rice measure with your finger and the rice is perfect each time.
I love the Photoshop skillz part, you made it look so easy, I always have trouble with the water quantity.
Just want to thank-you for this tutorial on cooking rice. I love the rice cooker, it works amazingly. It tastes just like from the restaurant. We are loving eating at home now for our Chinese food. I do hope you will do a tutorial for brown rice in the near future. Thank you again
Oh no, you're spilling the Ancient Chinese secret of measuring water for rice! My grandma taught me the same way, and it has definitely worked out for me just fine. So glad you can make rice in the microwave now, with GREAT results!
OMG — this is just amazing!! I consider myself a rice snob too — Uncle Ben's is soooooooo not for me and I actually pitty those who think it's "good" rice.
9 minutes to cook rice? OMG! That puts my own Zojirushi to shame as well! OMG!!
I am so looking into this for a present to myself — because I hate to lug the Zojirushi out to make rice when I'm craving it "just for myself"…then I usually end up not having rice.
You are awesome!!
First time to your site. Impressive. My new favorite Thai cooking site.
Hi…I think the size of the pot matters cuz I did this recipe and the water overflowed when it was boiling….I used a Corning ware about 8″ x 8″ x 5″ in depth. Maybe the deeper the pot the better?thanks

Discovered Steamy Kitchen while, rather desperately, searching for a source for a replacement Nordic Ware plastic rice cooker. Although originally a Doubting Thomas about microwaved rice — tried it once 39 years ago (!) when a kitchen remodel left me without a stove for more than a week, and it took longer than on a stove top — the Nordic made a believer of me. The steamer basket is a plus, both for steaming vegetables and for rinsing fresh fruit, especially blueberries and grapes.
For some strange reason I couldn't find the cooker on Amazon, but your link worked just fine. Thank you, and I'll be checking your site in the future.
Hehe, was just browsing when I saw the article title and decided to check it out. Let's just call it "ancient asian secret" for cooking rice… My family's from the Philippines and that's how my mom taught me to cook rice (in a regular counter-top cooker or in the microwave).
The plastic microwave rice cookers are common all over asia thanks to the Japanese popularising it for those living in tiny apartments, with tiny kitchenettes.
If you want to double the recipe to 3 cups of rice, should you microwave the rice longer than the 9 minutes?
Got my Rice Cooker from Amazon and I really love it. I'm so excited that I would like to share the reviews and discounts that I received: http://amzn.to/17FWw8X – One happy lady here.
Asking questions are actually pleasant thing if you are not understanding something totally, except this piece of writing offers good understanding even.
Did you ever come up with a method for brown rice?
Right now it looks like BlogEngine is the preferred blogging platform available right
now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

If you've been following the sad drama surrounding the divorce of Ramona and Mario Singer, you know that former Real Housewives of New York star, Jill Zarin, for whatever reason, has had a guest starring role in the demise of the Singer's relationship. It seems that a quote or two from Zarin makes a cameo in just about every article and blog post written about Ramona and Mario -- and Ramona finally had it and exploded on Jill.
After it was made public knowledge that Ramona walked in on Mario with his girlfriend at their Hamptons' home, Zarin tweeted: "I am glad you finally told the truth @ramonasinger. I hope he gets what he deserves. Mario CHOKED her." To which Ramona responded: "Think it's sad she feels the need to use my personal business to try to make herself relevant."
Perhaps Jill was trying to garner support for her former friend, letting he world know what a monster Mario is. But what business is that of hers? On what planet is it okay to notify the world of your friend's alleged domestic abuse? The non-stop quotes and two-cents in articles were bad enough, Jill, but this is a whole new level.
Ramona's right, Jill is using her personal business to try to get in the spotlight again, which is both declasse and the opposite of what a true friend does. If Jill was really Ramona's friend, she'd have been by Ramona's side this whole time, and we wouldn't have heard a peep from her. Gross.
What do you think of Jill Zarin's tweet?
Image via Bravo
Tweet, smeet! I'm still trying to get past the pic of Jill's mid-life or post mid-life crisis! Was it Halloween on Andy's show or was it how to look like a ridiculous old-ass ho day?!
I am SHOCKED about the break up of Ramona an Mario. I always thought they had a great marriage. So did Ramona for that matter. She has to be devastated. And for Jill to do what She did that was low. She used that purposely to Her own advantage. Ramona needs close friends by Her now not Jill. I truly feel Her Pain.
Shame on you Jill. I always liked you but your 15 minutes are over. Shut up and mind your own business. If you're really her friend, go to her don't out her personal life. Everybody knows that Mario was a piece of shit, we don't have to know the dirty details.

Kuala Lumpur, or more specifically, Jalan Bukit Bintang, just got itself a chic new addition, and it goes by the intriguing moniker Area27. It is homegrown international designer Bernard Chandran's latest project, and it is a multi-label store-cum-hip showcase that defies traditional boundaries and re-defines high street fashion with an attitude.
Area27 presents ideal and artistic values and expressions on fashion, and it represents the pop culture of the young and fun-living. Like pop art's take on fashion, it includes popular designs, music of different genres that personify cult abstraction, objects of desire to icons, 'villains' and 'heroes'. The labels that are sold here include the Puma Blackstation range like Alexander McQueen, Rudolf Dassler, Mihara Yasuhiro and Puma Area27 customised trainers. The store-cum-gallery reinvents itself each season featuring clothes and accessories from off track around-the-world labels including Natalija Jansone, Butterflysoulfire, Ana Sekularac, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Riccardo Forconi, Suzanne Werson, La Boite as well as Area27's own labels like Forknspoon, BCArea27, Animal Kingdom, Tanestrran2001, Skullarea, words and Negaraku and a variety of graphic t-shirts by up-and-coming designers.
As Bernard Chandran himself stated, Area27 is an inspiration and channeling the soul, passion and fire of the teenage spirit. "It is for the individual that would like to find respite from the mainstream but at the same time is unwilling to compromise on style. This is where fashion becomes personal to the individual. We are happy to hear your own interpretation of this place," he said.
To get you in an anticipatory mood, the store has also launched a teaser site at www.area27.com.my (the actual site will be launched on the same day of the store's opening - 15 October 2011). You will be greeted by a hip video showcase of Area27, featuring none other than the effervescent Bernard Chandran himself in a series of inventive perspectives, as he takes you on an introspective tour on the prediction of everyday attire that people will wear across the Malaysian pop culture and high street scenes. Visitors will also see information about a contest organized by the store where participants will stand to win merchandise from Area27 itself!
Area27 is due to open on the 15th of October 2011 at Lot D3, Basement Floor (Street level) Block D, Fahrenheit 88, 179, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.

"Netafim went so far as to change into mission statement from "making the best drip irrigation equipment for customers" to "helping the world grow more with less", an objective far more aligned with the objectives of its customers, the farmers."
Great HBR piece, When Business Models Trump Technology, shows how one Israeli firm, Netafim, figured out how to think beyond the product it made (drip irrigation equipment) in order to offer a sophisticated—and much more appealing—service its customers actually wanted. This is a big theme of the book around the Ten Types of Innovation framework I've been working on recently. Fancy products are all well and good, but they'll never provide the competitive advantage a company really needs for scaled, sustained success. Instead, by developing a smart business model and service its customers actually wanted (quelle idée!) this company has been able to survive and thrive. Good case study.

In sports, we are priviledged to see on showcase some of the most gifted athletes in the world performing games that we love at a very high level. Quite honestly, I know some folks are more gifted than others...but right now, I have got to vent.
All-Star events are a sham. NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL (Does MLS have one? Yeah, their's is a farce also!) You may be saying, "Dee Rigga...why are you tripping on this? They are just for the fans anyway..."; but as a fan, I want to see the folks that DESERVE to be called ALL-STARS in these events - standout players that should be recognized for their work at WHATEVER point in the season the ALL-STAR venue is held. Take for instance the NBA ALL-STAR rosters of this year...
Eastern Conference Starters:
Jason Kidd
LeBron James
Dwayne Wade
Kevin Garnett
Dwight Howard
That is a pretty DAYUM accurate list for a starting team. Now...The Western Conference:
Western Conference Starters:
Kobe Bryant
Allen Iverson
Carmelo Anthony
Yao Ming
Tim Duncan
No argument that this is a great group. But let's look at it closely:
Allen Iverson? The starting guard? WHY? Maybe nobody has heard or seen of CHRIS PAUL this year (ohh, he's only leading the NEW ORLEANS HORNETS to the BEST RECORD IN THE WC); Carmelo is ballin', but over the likes of Brandon Roy (Port), Dirk, even Rudy Gay in Memphis? How about Manu Ginobili? This guy, although many argue that because he comes off the bench, he should not even be considered an MVP canidate, is NOT SLATED to even go! Ray Allen...Paul Pierce...Chris Bosh...Caron Butler..Chauncey Billups...Boozer...Daron Williams...why are these guys being looked over?
I know, it's the market fields these teams are in that hurt them in fan voting; but that is what is WRONG with this system! I know we want to see the favorites, but there should be a line that allows experts and teams to choose deserving players these honors; they would make for very competitive games also. This is so evident in all other major sports' All Star venues also. We fans are sometimes not fair in the choices being made; those who earn it should be given their dues on the big stage when its appropriate.

Think Ashley Judd Running for Senate Is a Joke? Keep Laughing
Well my my, hand me those smelling salts! Rumors that Ashley Judd will run for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat are looking more and more like a sure thing. She recently met with Democratic insiders in Louisville, Kentucky. She's also met with New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Democratic pollsters. She looks more serious about running every day.
The Republican response to Ashley Judd's future in politics has been a resounding L.O.L. And that's just fine with me! Think the idea of this "radical" "Hollywood liberal" running for office in a red state where she doesn't live is hilarious? Keep laughing, Republicans. You keep laughing.
I think Ashley Judd would make an exciting candidate. She has just the fresh voice and perspective we need in the Senate. She's full of passion and energy. And let's face it, she's got loads of friends with loads of money. That's been bad for a political candidate exactly zero times. Yes, she campaigned for Obama. He won. And your point is ...?
Fine, supposedly Obama isn't popular in red states. But these red states and blue states aren't as uniformly polarized as we'd like to think. You know what? Never mind. Let's keep pretending Kentucky is 100 percent anti-Obama. Yeah, run with that one. We'll just pretend Kentucky doesn't get $1.35 in federal funds for every dollar it pays in taxes. So not a welfare state!
Ashley wouldn't be the first actor to make the leap into politics. We've seen Sonny Bono, Al Franken, and what's his name ... oh yes, RONALD REAGAN. The Hollywood insider who became a hugely popular two-term president. Is it a little sexist and hypocritical to underestimate Ashley Judd's political future? Sure -- but don't let that stop you, Republicans. I think we've seen how well that old-fashioned sexism has been working out for you lately, especially in the south (cough, Todd-legitimate-rape-Akin, cough).
Should I mention Judd's Masters in Public Administration degree from Harvard? Nah, I know you hate that ee-leet bullshit when it pertains to liberals.
As for Ashley Judd running in Kentucky when she's called Tennessee "home" -- she was raised in Kentucky. She has a stake in her home state. And anyhow, let's not pretend we're all new to this idea of political candidates having homes in various states. Where exactly did Mitt Romney call "home"? Oh yeah. No one cares.
Anyway, we'll see how this all pans out. I want a front seat, and I'm popping some popcorn. This is going to be one fun race.
Do you think Ashley Judd stands much of a chance for getting elected in Kentucky?

CassFebruary 21, 2013 at 1:07 PMI don't know anything about Ms. Judd or her proposed senate run, but I do know that this article is one of the most tactless, arrogant, petulant, immature posts I've seen on thestir. Instead of, oh, I don't know, countering the dissenting opinions with facts that support her viability as a winning candidate, you decided that mocking and patronizing Republicans made your argument stronger. I don't identify with either political party, but this kind of bullshit drives me up a wall. Republicans lost the election because they were standoffish, exclusionary, and rude. If they finally get around to fixing that and the democrats keep throwing their victory in everyone's face, we'll see a lot of republicans celebrating in November 2016.

Al Franken was elected by the same state that chose Jesse Ventura as its governor. I don't think you can compare Kentucky voters to the strange breed who reside in Minnesota - and that's coming from someone who was born in Minnesota and has lived here the vast majority of my life.
Also - Ronald REGAN? Excellent editing job...

Kiss the GirlsFebruary 21, 2013 at 1:28 PMOf course repubs are nervous that she may be running! Everything that will come out of Mitch McConnells mouth will be accused of being sexist or elitist in some way. I like Ashley Judd as an actress ok, but lets face it. She rose to fame on her family name and her looks, and it didnt hurt that she got naked every once in awhile. These days, she spews out psychobabble, writes about how she requires 10 plus hours of sleep a day to feel centered, and carries around a therapy dog for her psychological issues based on perceived childhood abuse that no one, including those who love her, can substantiate. I'm not opposed to a celeb in office (hint hint, Clooney), but she is a little too whack a doodle for my taste.

I'm just going to throw in one of the best things I've read in a while:
Republicans are Red,
Democrats are Blue,
Neither one of them,
Gives a fuck about you.
Religion and Politics, since the beginning of both, have bred more idiotic zealots destroying humanity than anything else... I'm right, you're wrong. My god is the true god, the best god. RED! BLUE!. They disagree with us, let's kill them! These heathens won't stop their evil ways, let's burn/drown/hang/behead/etc. them into submission! Your president sucks! You're Prime Minister is a tyrant! No welfare! More welfare! Ban abortion! You're gay, you don't deserve love, equality, or life! Jesus for President!
It's all foolishness. It's detrimental to EVERYONE'S QUALITY OF LIFE!
And yet you voluntarily let these things come into your life, and then let them rule it. You forget about your fellow man, you forget how to treat another human being, when they don't agree with your beliefs and opinions.
Everyone wonders why humanity is in the fast lane to Hell. Religion and Politics.
(aaaaaaand cue the crazy, over-zealous rants and responses...)

Ok, so you're saying that her qualifications are... She has a fresh voice and perspective, is full of passion and energy, has loads of friends with loads of money, and she campaigned for Obama. Also, she once lived in Kentucky, is a celebrity, and has a Master's Degree in Public Administration.
Wow. Her opponents should be shaking in their boots. Just LOOK at all that substance and experience!! Hell, she should just skip right over Senate and go for the Oval Office. After all, she DID campaign for Obama. And apparently, that's all it takes nowadays to be elected. Not, you know, actual work experience.

Teri_25February 22, 2013 at 11:50 AM
I saw her over the summer when she came to town to speak about Obama, and she seemed a bit prissy, telling people absolutely no photos. I understand that she was there to try to get everyone rallied up for Obama, but come on, don't be so rude that you ignore everyone and keep saying no pictures but primp yourself.

AnneFebruary 26, 2013 at 3:55 PMHer race car husband was likely sick of her Democratic affiliations to the useless Obama and dumped her. I always enjoyed her movies and she is a highly intelligent and educated lady but for the wrong party. I hope she does not get elected to the senate.

- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
- 1/2 cup(s) sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup(s) milk
- 1/2 cup(s) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon(s) flour
- 1/2 cup(s) pecans-broken
- 2 tablespoon(s) butter
- Mash 2 C cooked carrots with 4 T butter in a blender or food processor until all the lumps are gone. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and add to the carrot mixture.
- Mix well and add the sugar, milk and eggs. Pour into a 2 quart souffle dish (preferred) or an 8 x 8 by 2 1/2" pan.
- Mix the topping: brown sugar, flour, pecans and soft butter, until crumbly.
- Bake 30 minutes at 325 degrees. Remove from oven and cover the surface with the topping mix. (I sometimes use half the topping). Bake and additional 30 minutes until the surface looks firm.
- Note: this recipe can be made ahead and frozen. You must omit the milk, eggs and baking powder. When ready to prepare, thaw the carrot mixture, add the milk, eggs and baking powder and proceed as usual. One pound of carrots will yield about one cup cooked carrots. You can also add 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon lemon juice to bring out the flavor of the carrots.

Greenberg Theatre
4200 Wisconsin Avenue NW,
1 person favorited this theater

I can't recall was 'Blue Thunder' when it played at the Tenley presented in 70mm?
Regarding the original Tenley Circle Theatre: the small auditorium held 198, the middle one 270, and the large auditorium 454. I worked at the Tenley from 1983 to 1985. Some of our visitors during that time included Siskel and Ebert, Lynda Carter, and Ted Koppel. It was a magical place.
May 2008 photos of the Greenberg/Tenley Circle Theatre: 1, 2, 3, 4
sorry, correction, I had forgotten that it was two initially and a third screen was added. In it's current configuration, the space is now just one auditorium with raked seating. Too bad, no films are being presented for this year's Filmfest at the Greenberg.
The Tenley theatre had a 70mm system when LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (Frank Oz remake) opened in December of 1986. Question: was the theatre always set up with three auditoriums? or was it just one theatre initially?

When I Had No Church
- Monday, February 04, 2013
It's funny how perception can change at the blink of an eye. When I compared the lives of my heroes to the life of my granny, I realized just how shallow and materialistic I'd allowed myself to become. All of those things… the money, the power, the cheers… they were only skin deep. The empire that my heroes spent the majority of their lives building had become the top priority in their lives, and their relationships and the spiritual health of those that followed them had suffered because of it.
This was how I came to realize that I had to take Bible study seriously. That is why I process the things I read in the Scriptures and allow them to mold me. As followers of Christ, we need to allow God's word to pick us apart and form us into who God wants us to be. Without that, I seriously don't know if any of us can know what a healthy church really is, or if we could ever really trust the pastors who are tasked with watching over our souls, loving God, honoring His word, and loving His people.
3. Don't Be Afraid to Mix Things Up
I'm a firm believer that you won't truly understand something unless you take the time to become involved in whatever that "something" is doing. I see this error a lot in our contemporary Christian culture. Unfortunately, a lot of division takes place that really shouldn't. I used to look at denominations in this light. That is, until I went out and experienced a few of them.
Take the assemblies of god church I visited for four months. It's a very well-known church with a good reputation. They believed in things like prophecy and speaking in tongues, but they never allowed those things to occur outside of the biblical context of 1 Corinthians 14:26. The worship services were more charismatic than many of the other denominations I attended, but it was always done in a intimate and respectful way.
A seemingly polar opposite from that church was the southern baptist church we attended for a couple months. They taught that spiritual gifts like praying in tongues had ceased with the Apostles. I may not have seen a whole lot of charisma during the worship there, but I saw a whole lot of charisma in the way they treated one another. Biblical teaching on loving God and loving others was not lacking in that environment... and that is something of which you can't have enough.
Then there was the acts 29 church plant that gave me a great deal of hope for the future of the American church. I'd estimate that about 80 percent of the members were college-aged singles and young families. I don't think I've ever witnessed such a tremendous thirst for biblical knowledge and action. Even though we chose not to make this church our home after nine months, we value this experience so much because of the teaching we received and the lifelong friendships we made.
When we arrived there, they were in the middle of a teaching on the Book of Acts that would end up lasting a few more months. For those of you who are unfamiliar with expository teaching, I can't stress enough how vital it is in our churches. In a time where so many things in the Bible can be pulled out of context, going through the Bible verse by verse in our sermons would avoid so many problems.
We also attended an evangelical presbyterian church for 4-5 months which we also grew to love for a number of reasons. These folks really understood youth ministry and missions. It was the lifeblood of the body and seemed to drive everything they did. This was also the environment where I learned the difference between "closed-hand" issues and "open-hand" issues.

Like in December, again it looked like Nature would serve up dry conditions for trail work on February 7th. Again the decision was made to postpone the work session one week and again the payoff was a wet week leading to perfect conditions to work the tread at Martha's.
On February 14th, 2009 eighteen SDMBA volunteers took to the trail to help fulfill the two main goals of trail work. 1) Keep water off the trail. 2) Keep people on the trail.
Number 2 was quickly accomplished (I hear you snickering, grow up!) when almost the entire crew walked to Martha's Grove and removed a downed tree. How did they do this with no chain saws you ask? Simple. They all picked it up and moved it off the trail. The peace of the park was not broken with the sound of a two-cycle engine and an obstacle that could have caused people to trail blaze around it was removed so that users would stay on the trail.
When the Martha's Grove trail was constructed "trail science" wasn't where it is today. The trail meanders up and down nonsensically as it heads toward a quiet spot known as Martha's Grove. Much of the trail is what the International Mountain Bicycling Association would define as "unsustainable"--meaning that in many places the trail is constructed in such a way that water is often directed onto the trail, not off of it. Also many of the pitches of trail are too steep or run directly parallel with the direction of the flow of water during a rain. Our job for the day was to create and repair structures that divert water off of the trail.
As mentioned, this session we started all the way out at the picnic table and moved back towards the main staging area at Sycamore Canyon Drive. This allowed us to address some of the parts of the trail that had been most effected by water erosion. We ended up stopping right where the December trail work had left off so in two sessions we basically worked on the entire trail.
To address goal number 1 crews built knicks and rolling grade dips to drain water off the trail, constructed water bars where needed, filled ruts in the trail and even helped direct water to the center of the creek that goes over the trail at one point. The soil was moist and very workable--when dry this area is very difficult to work on because the soil is so hard but just add water and suddenly you can easily move and shape the tread to your liking.
The park was closed for the day so we had no interruptions. It stayed closed for the next few days which allowed the soil we had worked to set and with the addition of another inch of rain a couple days later our trail features had hardened up nicely by Tuesday.
Here's what one volunteer said of the day:
"Today felt differently than the usual trail work. I think that is because instead of picking a section or two we worked on the whole trail. Except for the stray dog walker nobody else was out there -- it was all ours. I've never felt the ownership that I felt today any other place or time."
Our thanks to all the volunteers that showed up to take care of this trail. Special thanks also to our growing crew of Trail Bosses. The ratio of Boss to Worker Bee was about 1:2 so the crews were small but well led and effective.
Because of the unsustainable nature of many parts of the Martha's Grove trail SDMBA runs trail crews here at least twice a year and smaller crews come in regularly to help too. Some areas need work constantly while other areas need less attention. Some of the work the SDMBA crew did on the 14th will literally last for years. Thanks to the 18 guys that came out and contributed 72 man-hours to this trail and to the park.
In 2008 SDMBA contributed over 1500 volunteer trail work hours to San Diego area parks, preserves and open spaces and in 2009 we're on our way to contributing even more hours.
The San Diego Mountain Biking Association (SDMBA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1995 to represent the interests of off-road bicyclists and other non-motorized trail users in San Diego County. We have become a recognized resource for providing education in trail design, construction and maintenance to land managers and volunteers. We are also recognized for providing education in safe and sustainable practices to trail users. To SDMBA, sustainability includes promoting the quality of life, preserving the environment and enhancing our community.

Pope Shenouda, who died on Saturday at the age of 88, was Egypt's highest Christian authority, working for more than 40 years to keep the peace between the Muslim majority and the Christian minority.
On the occasions when Christian protesters took to the streets to complain about discrimination against them, the late Coptic Pope chose to stay silent so as not to inflame tensions.
When Egypt's Islamists won the majority of seats in parliament earlier this year in a move that privately alarmed many Christians, he chose to keep his counsel for the same reason.
"The church decided to take a silent stance and wait to see what would happen," a church official said.

Save $$ – Buy OEM or Upgrade Software
You might be considering upgrading your current Windows installation to Vista in the near future. If so, considering purchasing OEM or Upgrade versions of the new operating system instead of the full retail package. This can really help save you some money.
There are a few "footnotes" about this type of software in general, so in a nutshell:
- OEM can typically only be installed on one machine and the license is not transferable. You might have to purchase a small (i.e. under $5) peice of hardware from some vendors in order to purchase an OEM version.
- Upgrade versions require you to have a "qualifying" product already installed on your machine. For example, Windows XP must be on your machine to install the Vista upgrade version.
Either way, both versions are the same as their full counterparts, however the difference is in the price tag. Just something to consider…
3 responses to Save $$ – Buy OEM or Upgrade Software
mark May 27th, 2007 at 4:34 am
You should mention that you don't always get the same level of support from an OEM version as you do a retail version. Sometimes you don't get any support.
M S September 14th, 2009 at 2:42 am
is it easy to find a reliable OEM seller…do somebody tell me a web site for OEMs…
alexander the great October 30th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
upgrades are a cheap alternative…but its a pain to move the OS to a new machine because you then have to sit through an XP install only to then sit through a Vista upgrade….so its really only worth it if your only ever going to use that computer till you buy a new one. *just my 2 lazy cents*
