Look! What to Do With Old Light Bulbs
You've been making a conscious effort to replace your blown incandescent bulbs with their more efficient CFL cousins but find yourself with a collection of bulbs you'd rather reuse than just throw out? Here's a fun weekend project showing how to reuse those bulbs and create a decorative item which we imagine being redone in a holiday motif. For a step by step video how-to, jump below...
Instructables contributor msolek's light bulb project:
23 Comments
remind me to make this when i'm in my seventies...
The negative comments here should surprise me, but they don't. I've noticed that any ideas which are creative that are accessible by people of lesser means generally get a bad response. I'm not sure where homemade and tacky begin, end or intersect, but I think it's pretty rude to call someone's work like this "tacky."
This is really a clever concept and not a bad little handicraft. It's like a miniature ship in a bottle idea. I bet a themed collection of them on a shelf would look pretty cool, particularly as a way of adding life to an office or workspace. I'd suggest painting the socket portion as well for a uniform look or color.
I wonder if these could be done as sort of snow globe if one could seal off the bottom well enough.
Um, Orchid, some of your fellow posters here (sadly) are not especially known for their cheery outlook or sunny dispositions, regardless of price range.
And on the whole incandescent/CFL issue, I hope people are converting to CFLs WHEN their incandescents burn out...
I am a person "of lesser means" and the first thing that I did when I moved to my current home was to replace all the incandescent bulbs with CFL bulbs. The cost was offset pretty darn quickly. (I can't wait for LED lights to become affordable)
But I have noticed a definite "economic snobbery" among both some fellow posters and also among some of the individual city correspondents. (Not everyone, of course)
I'm sure that I'm not the only avid reader of AT that will probably never have a budget for original designer furniture; I'd love to have original Eames furniture and the like, but must instead be creative in combining DIY with thrifted finds and purchases from the "demon" big blue and yellow box.
this is so cute! if only it was as easy to make as the video made it seem... i'm sure if i tried it, it would go wrong a dozen ways.
No one likes it when poor people whine.
Cute, and definitely creative. I don't think it's something I would give as a gift. I'm all for giving home made gifts, but you just can't use these for anything.
I love this *because* it's tacky!
Ok, maybe the ship doesn t look great.
You could put small semi-precious rocks, crystals, dried flowers/fruits or something; I would stick to 1-2 items per bulb. Then hang the bulb up using fishline if you want or set it on the coffee table as decoration.
As a gift you can try finding something personal, a trinket, to put inside.
if the bulb is big enough, you could even try planting a miniture cactus, and poke some holes on the metal for air and maintanence (water using a dropper). :) I'm not quite sure if this'll work.
What does he use to cut the bulb in the beginning? Is the glass thin enough to be cut with a regular blade?
I decided to make several of these for my kitchen. A walnut in one bulb and a small pepper in another.
I love it too! But I don´t know what would I do with that... It´s not something I would like to have at home, so it´s also not something I would give to someone. It´s just too useless. But a great idea anyway!
some comments are harsh...
but, really, who, beside artists and creative types who have a lot of time on their hands, collects blown bulbs anyway?
Contrary to what Patrick said, folks shouldn't be waiting until their incandescent bulbs burn out to replace them with CFLs -- the embedded energy "lost" by trashing a working incandescent is less than the additional energy used during the life of the incandescent (including the mercury put into the air by coal-burning power plants).
wow, Orchid and Patrick, you take some comments way too seriously. maybe you would have gathered i was being sarcastic if i had put a smiley face at the end of my sentence. or maybe the one with the little tongue sticking out: :-P
i actually think the bulb is cute.
and, Patrick, it's not like you're a bowl of happy daffodils in all your comments either. at least i don't make a snide personal remark about you when you're not. no christmas card or holiday hug for you!
Having burned out bulbs around kind of freaks me out - the glass is so thin and easily broken. I'd thought of doing something like this with slightly larger bulbs and very small succulent plants (leaving the socket end open, of course), but there's too much potential for broken glass with the cat prowling around.
ChristopherB - wrap a wire around the screwy end and hang it out of kitty's reach. I have a bulb vase that's actually quite sturdy - I don't think all lightbulbs are created equal, but, you can find ones that aren't like tissue paper.
And hope your visitors are not as snarky as many AT posters.
I love it. But then, I have a nautical-theme guest nook.
It can be a good craft project for elementary school kids.
I'll have to try this for the sand/shells/beach glass Christmas ornaments I make - the light bulbs are larger than the small glass ornaments I've been using so I could get bigger shells and beach glass pieces into them, and they'd be more visible on a larger tree.
Great post - thanks!
*heather leaf*--
Darn, now my Christmas is RUINED.
You make a good point, but isn't using what is still functional (and not replacing it with a new purchase) also at the heart of the whole Green ideal? (NOT arguing, just an interesting topic to me)
And speaking of mercury, no doubt we will have Mercury Problem, Part 2, when everyone dumps their CFLs after widespread adoption...
I almost never buy new, complain about the high-end tacky junk promoted here, and I think these are a great craft for a kids' project, except that the bulbs break really easily. But I don't want one, don't want to make one, and wish the taste level here would magically elevate itself.
Cheap kitsch, expensive kitsch--all more clutter to throw up in the next round of The Cure.
Yay for Orchid64.
- Although I'd also like to add that ofen things are given bad responses on this site because readers that can't think creatively themselves fail to see the broarder application of ideas and content.
Lightbulb piñata time!

I'm a very unique and random person. I'm full of surprises and questions(i'm very curious)probably no one could answer. I'm definitely not street smart, I am full of hospitality.

Many have all different kinds of views of me as a person

but if you met me, I make a great friend :)

Obama's Sixth Year: Transformative Leader or Lame Duck?
Wednesday 14 May 2014
The enduring idea that the US president is all-powerful is directly at odds with the facts. The reality is that the nature of the US system of government makes it very difficult for any president to pass domestic reforms. Furthermore, it is not just the constitution and divided government that restrict what presidents can change. They are also beholden to larger economic and international forces. Because of these forces and Obama's own instincts it is plausible to argue that Obama's foreign policy has been more traditional and risk-adverse than the more radical decisions taken by the George W. Bush presidency.
Our expert panel of US Studies Centre academics will discuss the Affordable Health-Care Act and Obama's attempts to address the issue of inequality in the US. Obama has of course faced opposition on these issues and others. The nature of this opposition - from the Republican Party, the Tea Party and others – will be examined. Obama's relations with the media, his struggle to move from campaigning to governing and then back again and his fading public popularity will also be debated.

A bladder ultrasound is a safe and painless test that uses sound waves to make images of the bladder before and after urination.
During the examination, an ultrasound machine sends sound waves into the bladder area and images are recorded on a computer. The black-and-white images show the internal structure of the bladder, as well as the amount of urine inside.
Doctors order bladder ultrasounds when there's a concern about bladder problems, such as difficulty urinating or daytime wetting.
A bladder ultrasound can show how much urine the bladder holds when it's full and whether someone completely empties the bladder when urinating. It can also demonstrate any obvious abnormalities of the bladder, the size of the bladder, the thickness of the bladder walls, and the presence of blockages or stones (lumps of built-up minerals).
Usually, you don't have to do anything special to prepare for a bladder ultrasound, although the doctor may ask that your child drink lots of fluids before the exam so that he or she arrives with a full bladder. You should tell the technician about any medications your child is taking before the test begins.
The bladder ultrasound will be done in the radiology department of a hospital or in a radiology center. Parents are usually able to accompany their child to provide reassurance.
Your child will be asked to change into a cloth gown and lie on a table. The room is usually dark so the images can be seen clearly on the computer screen. A technician (sonographer) trained in ultrasound imaging will spread a clear, warm gel on the lower abdomen over the pelvic area, which will help with the transmission of the sound waves.
The technician will then move a small wand (transducer) over the gel. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves and a computer measures how they bounce back from the body. The computer changes those sound waves into images to be analyzed.
After the first image with a full bladder is taken, your child will be asked to empty the bladder and more images will be recorded. Sometimes a doctor will come in at the end of the test to meet your child and take a few more ultrasound pictures. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes.
The bladder ultrasound is painless. Your child may feel a slight pressure as the transducer is moved over the abdomen. Ask your child to lie still during the procedure so the sound waves can produce the proper images. The technician may ask your child to lie in different positions or hold his or her breath briefly.
Babies might cry in the ultrasound room, especially if they're restrained, but this won't interfere with the procedure.
A radiologist (a doctor who's specially trained in reading and interpreting X-ray, ultrasound, and other imaging studies) will interpret the ultrasound results and then give the information to your doctor, who will discuss them with you. If the test results appear abnormal, your doctor may order further tests.
In an emergency, the results of an ultrasound can be available quickly. Otherwise, they're usually ready in 1-2 days. In most cases, results can't be given directly to the patient or family at the time of the test.
No risks are associated with a bladder ultrasound. Unlike X-rays, radiation isn't involved with this test.
Some younger kids may be afraid of the machinery used for the ultrasound. Explaining in simple terms how the bladder ultrasound will be conducted and why it's being done can help ease any fear. You can tell your child that the equipment takes pictures of the bladder.
Encourage your child to ask the technician questions and to try and relax during the procedure, as tense muscles can make it more difficult to get accurate results.
If you have questions about the bladder ultrasound, speak with your doctor. You can also talk to the technician before the exam.

Saturday 20 September 2014
Whether it is the spectacular sets and show-stopping musical numbers, the jovial jokes and larger-than-life dames, or the custard pies and the chance to cheer the heroes and boo the baddies, everyone loves a good pantomime – and Gloucestershire is a prime place to soak-up the seasonal entertainment.
Every year Cheltenham, the Cotswolds, the Forest of Dean, Gloucester, Stroud and Tewkesbury get in on the family tradition, so you won't have far to travel for your festive theatrical fix.
Plan a fun family outing with SoGlos's comprehensive guide to pantos. All together now: 'He's behind you!'
Venue: Everyman Theatre
What's on stage: The Everyman Theatre is granting festive wishes across the county in 2013 and offering a laugh-a-minute evening of family-friendly comedy and sing-a-long songs in Aladdin. Audiences will follow Aladdin on a journey from rags to riches, as he defeats the evil Abanazer and wins the heart of the beautiful princess.
When: From Friday 29 November 2013 to Sunday 12 January 2014
How much: Individual ticket prices range between £12 and £23, while family tickets range between £58 and £68.
SoGlos loves, oh yes we do: Star of last year's Dick Whittington panto, the mischievous and clumsy Tweedy the Clown will be making a welcome return to the Cheltenham theatre, as well as William Elliot – who is back as Widow Twankey – promising a feast of laughs, thrills and spills, flying carpets, magic tricks and good clean fun and frolics in faraway lands.
For more info: See Aladdin pantomime at Everyman Theatre.
To book: Call Everyman Theatre on (01242) 572573, email email@example.com or visit everymantheatre.org.uk directly.
Robin Hood
Venue: Bacon Theatre
What's on stage: Offering the opportunity to cheer the hero and boo the baddie in true panto style, award-winning local theatre company Promenade Productions will be bringing families from Cheltenham and beyond together with a post-Christmas showing of Robin Hood – complete with a hilarious cast of merry men, idiotic henchmen, the evil Sheriff of Nottingham, and of course, the beautiful Maid Marian. Organisers say Robin Hood is a little different to the traditional pantomimes, but locals can expect stunning sets, fabulous costumes, great dance routines, a large cast and plenty of audience participation.
When: Wednesday 22 to Sunday 26 January 2014
How much: Ticket prices range between £8 and £14, or cost £30 for a family of four on selected dates only.
SoGlos loves, oh yes we do: Founded in 1984, Promenade Productions has been delighting audiences young and old for almost 30 years now, and won the 2012 Gloucestershire Theatre Association award for best local pantomime, no less. Its 2013 panto is the perfect chance for families to catch this established local company in action, with mayhem and merriment expected by the bucket load.
For more info: See Robin Hood pantomime at Bacon Theatre.
To book: Call Promenade Productions on (01242) 224144, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit promenadeproductions.co.uk directly.
Venue: Wall's Club, Barnwood
What's on stage: Ahead of its centenary in 2014, the county's oldest performing arts group, the Gloucestershire Operatic and Dramatic Society, is promising to dazzle panto-loving families with a glittering production of Cinderella; a fairytale which hasn't been performed in the city for more than 15 years. Romance, comedy, audience participation, colourful staging and a cast to match will all combine in this festive family feast of entertainment, with real white ponies, close-up magic, Punch and Judy and special post-Christmas appearances from Santa himself all set to delight county children. 'This pantomime has success written all over it', say organisers, so what better way to celebrate the season with friends and family than to join Cinderella and the cast to discover if she does make to the ball – or if the jealousy of her two terrible TOWIE sisters prevails.
When: Monday 23 December 2013 to Sunday 12 January 2014
How much: Individual tickets cost from £8.50, while tickets for a family of four cost from £45.
SoGlos loves, oh yes we do: The UK's most fabulous dame, Mr Jerry Lane, makes his long-awaited return to the country to direct and star in this spectacular version of Cinderella. Famed for creating and directing legendary entertainer, Danny La Rue, Lane has worked with famous faces across the globe, from Lynda Bellingham to Lionel Blair, and is promising a groundbreaking, magical show for Gloucestershire families, not forgetting a sensational wardrobe, of course.

Fact Checkers Have A Field Day With The Obama Administration's False ObamaCare Claims
"Three Pinocchios"
Obama Press Secretary Jay Carney: Insurance Companies Are To Blame For Health Plan Cancellations. CARNEY: "The provision in the law was the manifestation of the assurance that if you have a plan you want to keep, you can keep it. Insurance companies that chose to strip away benefits from existing plans in the interim, that canceled existing plans in the interim, they took away that grandfathering opportunity. And that's a reality." (White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, Press Briefing, Washington, D.C., 11/5/13)
The Washington Post's Fact Checker Called The Obama Administration's Claim "A Classic Case Of Misdirection." "The administration's effort to pin the blame on insurance companies is a classic case of misdirection. Between 75 and 95 percent of the problem stems from the effective date, but the White House chooses to keep the focus elsewhere." (Glenn Kessler, "The White House Effort To Blame Insurance Companies For Lost Plans," The Washington Post's Fact Checker , 11/7/13)
- The Washington Post 's Fact Checker: "Three Pinocchios." (Glenn Kessler, "The White House Effort To Blame Insurance Companies For Lost Plans," The Washington Post's Fact Checker , 11/7/13)

President Obama's "Attempt At Explanation Has Only Fanned The Flames Of Controversy …" "President Barack Obama's attempt at explanation has only fanned the flames of controversy over his campaign line, 'If you like your health care, you can keep it.'"

Last Week, Fact Checkers Found That Obama And His Administration Are Guilty Of Distorting The Facts
During The First 2012 Presidential Debate, Obama Promised ObamaCare Would Not Mean A "Government Take Over" And Would Allow You To "Keep Your Own Insurance." BARACK OBAMA: "And let me tell you exactly what 'ObamaCare' did. Number one, if you've got health insurance it doesn't mean a government take over. You keep your own insurance. You keep your own doctor. But it does say insurance companies can't jerk you around." (President Barack Obama, Remarks At Presidential Debate, Denver, CO, 10/3/12)
"The Promise Stretched Credulity A Number Of Ways: – It's Practically Baked Into The Law That Some Policies Are Going To Disappear." (Calvin Woodward, "Promises, Promises: A Big One That Got Away," The Associated Press, 10/31/13)
- The Washington Post 's Fact Checker Gives Obama's Promise That Americans Could Keep Their Health Care Plan Four Pinocchios. " The president's promise apparently came with a very large caveat: 'If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan – if we deem it to be adequate.' Four Pinocchios."(Glenn Kessler, "Obama's Pledge That 'No One Will Take Away' Your Health Plan," The Washington Post's Fact Checker, 10/30/13)
Obama Sr. Advisor Valerie Jarrett: "FACT: Nothing In #ObamaCare Forces People Out Of Their Health Plans." (Valerie Jarrett, Twitter Feed, 10/28/13)
- Valerie Jarrett's Claim Was "Extreme … We Rate The Statement False." "Saying there's 'nothing' in the law that forces people out of their health plans is a pretty extreme claim — one that implies that insurers who pull the plug on non-ObamaCare-compliant plans are acting in some sort of government-free vacuum. Even if it's technically true that the insurer pulls the plug on a plan, the insurer will only be doing this because the law itself and its implementing regulations have created a context in which, sooner or later, old-fashioned plans will inevitably pass into oblivion — as the law always intended. We rate the statement False." (Louis Jacobson, "Valerie Jarret Says 'Nothing In ObamaCare Forces People Out Of Their Health Plans,'" PolitiFact.com , 10/30/13)
Kathleen Sebelius: "If I Have Affordable Coverage In My Workplace, I'm Not Eligible To Go Into The Marketplace. … It's Illegal." REPRESENTATIVE CORY GARDNER (CO-R): "You're in charge of this law, correct? Why aren't you in the exchange?" SEBELIUS: "Because I'm part of the federal employee health benefit plan. … I'm not eligible for the exchange." GARDNER: "You can decide to drop your coverage of your employer. You have the choice to decide not to choose …" SEBELIUS: "Not true, sir." GARDNER: "I would encourage you to be just like the American people and enter the exchange and agree to find a way …" SEBELIUS: "It's illegal."

Savile Row's New Tradition
Excerpted from S2E3 of Put This On: "(New) Traditions"
We learn the history of London's Savile Row, and talk about where it's been and where it's going with Patrick Grant, owner and designer of Norton & Sons and E. Tautz, and Richard Anderson, owner and tailor of the tailoring house that bears his name.
PTO Place: W. Bill
Excerpted from S2E3 of Put This On: "(New) Traditions"
Ray Hammett of W. Bill tells us about the world's most legendary tweed merchant.
PTO Man: Ian Bruce
Excerpted from S2E3 of Put This On: "(New) Traditions"
Ian Bruce, painter and member of The Correspondents, on how an artist should dress, the tradition of the Soho Dandy.
Put This On Season Two, Episode 3: (New) Traditions
Put This On, a web series about dressing like a grownup, visits London, where we examine how traditions are being reinvented in the birthplace of classic menswear.
We go to Savile Row, where we meet up with a historical guide to talk about the history of the world's oldest tailoring street. We also chat with the tailor Richard Anderson about what's special about The Row. Patrick Grant, the owner and designer of Norton & Sons, talks about how Savile Row can become a vital part of the international fashion world again.
Just off Savile Row, we go to the basement showroom of W. Bill, the world's most legendary tweed merchant. Ray Hammet, who's worked at W. Bill for decades, shows us around the stacks of wooly majesty.
In our PTO: Man segment, we talk with Ian Bruce, painter and member of the band The Correspondents, about re-imagining the SoHo dandy for the 21st century. He takes us through London's red light district, and tells us why he doesn't want to look like a painter at the end of a long day of painting.
We visit the tie factory owned and operated by Drake's of London to learn how a high-quality tie is made, from fabric to finished product. Then we buy one to send to a supporter of the show.
Plus Dave Hill tells where sport sunglasses are and are not appropriate, in Rudiments.
This is the third episode in our six-episode second season. In this season, we visit the three greatest men's style cities in the world, as chosen by our readers - New York, Milan and London.

Are These The Costumed Heroes Of Savile Row?
I was going to let it pass without comment, but since I've received a thousand million bajillion emails and tweets on the subject, a brief word on the protest of Abercrombie & Fitch's plans to install a children's store on Savile Row, around the corner from their London flagship shop, which is just off the Row on Burlington Gardens.
First of all: the folks at The Chap, who organized the whole thing, are generally very amusing. They understand that they're being silly, and I tip my cap to them for that. The Chap Olympiad sounds like a lot of fun, and I'm all for tweed, brogues and neckties, obviously. Even if I'm not so into the tobacco thing that they're obsessed with - a little stinky and cancery for my taste.
Second of all: I am no fan of Abercrombie & Fitch. Well, I should amend that: I'm no fan of the contemporary Abercrombie & Fitch, which is one of the worst clothing brands in the world. At one time, it was pretty much my ideal clothing brand, selling adventure clothes to the greatest adventurers in the world, but then it wound down, went belly-up, got bought by The Limited and transformed into what it is today. Which is awful. The worst.
I have to admit, though, that my general feeling about the protest is that costumes are for costume parties. Or fancy dress parties, as they call them over in the UK. The pictures of the protest embarrass me as much as they amuse me. It's tough enough to defend traditional style against accusations of cosplay when you're not actually engaging in cosplay. And given that the tailors of Savile Row sell contemporary, wearable, real-life-appropriate clothing, perhaps contemporary, wearable, real-life-appropriate clothing might have been worn for the protest.
The real truth is that when we were on Savile Row a few months ago, doing interviews for the very next episode of Put This On, the businessmen of Savile Row were completely unbothered by A&F. Richard Anderson, the tailor-owner of one of the Row's more successful storefronts told me that while he's no fan of their clothes, he appreciates the foot traffic. Patrick Grant, the owner of Norton & Sons, told us the same thing. They're protected by a pretty extensive system of laws that require tailor-manufacturing to use most of the street's square footage, so while it's annoying and gross, it's not really a threat to them.
So, in summary: A&F awful. The Chap charming. Savile Row pretty safe. Costumes for fancy dress.

One of the most enjoyable parts of my job as editor of Put This On is selecting fabric for the pocket squares we send to the members of our Gentlemen's Association. Above are a few that are headed to our seamstress this week. Over the next six weeks, she'll cut them and roll and sew the edges (by hand), and they'll be transformed into our next round of squares, which go out June 1st.
The floral was printed by perhaps the most famous fabric print house in the world (who also printed the various designs in our last round of squares). I purchased it in London last year in a tiny shop recommended to me by a friend.
The striped one is new - to me at least. It's tough to say when exactly it might have been made. It's an exceptionally fine, lightweight silk that reminded me of summer. I was blown away by its hand, and bought all the vendor had.
And below is something I'm sending to make into samples - a gathered silk that puckers a bit like seersucker. According to the folks I bought it from, it's at least a few decades old. Again, I bought all that was available, but it's so beautiful, particularly in its texture, that I couldn't bear to leave it behind.
Members of the Gentlemen's Association get a pocket square in the mail, made exclusively by hand in Los Angeles from new and vintage fabrics, every two months. They're made of the finest materials, chosen by me, and feature full, hand-rolled edges. Because there's no middle man, you pay about half what you might in a fine men's store, and if you sign up for a one-year subscription now, your first order will include a white linen square, appropriate with any outfit.

Country Mouse & City Mouse
Almost all of menswear's tradition is based in England, and particularly the England of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lifestyle of the upper and upper-middle classes at the time - professionals and gentry alike - was sharply defined by geography. If you had the money, you lived two lives: one in the city, one in the country. Each of these lives had a wardrobe, and each of these wardrobes was distinctive.
This separation still shapes our dress today. Let's take a look at how.
You can see this distinction if you watch a period television show. Jeeves & Wooster is a favorite of mine, with two brilliantly hilarious performances from Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. As Bertie Wooster, Laurie flits between city and country, discarding his conservative urban attire (left), and donning country togs (right). Sometimes absurdly outrageous ones.
As Downton Abbey has crossed the threshold of World War One and moved toward modernity, the clothes have become more recognizable there, as well. Since almost all the action on the show takes place on a country estate, you'll see almost exclusively country clothes. You'll also recognize the role that outdoor sports have played in the development of menswear, and of the distinction between country and city.
But is this antiquated tradition meaningful to us in modern times? Do we owe anything to the gentlemen above, passing each other on the train platform, one headed into town, one out?
Let's start simply, though, by defining better what "country" and "city" clothes are.
What Are City Clothes?
Broadly speaking, city clothes are made to match the aesthetics and demands of city life. That means they're largely built for business.
Defining characteristics:
- An urban color palette of gray and blue.
- Solid-colored suits.
- Business-striped suits.
- Small-scale checks in conservative colors.
- Worsted wool.
- Black leather shoes and accessories.
- Color in patterned shirts and (in some cases) ties.
- Dressing down from suits with conservative blazers.
What are Country Clothes?
Country clothes are defined by their sporting heritage and their ties to the colors of the outdoors.
Defining characteristics:
- A country color palette featuring the colors of nature, like tans, browns, and greens, with sometimes-bold complimentary accents, like burgundy and orange.
- Frequent use of bold patterns, like checks and multi-colored tweeds.
- Suits often replaced with sport coats and odd (non-matching) trousers.
- Sporting details like hacking pockets, ticket pockets, patch pockets and leather buttons.
- Fabrics with soft finishes and sporting heritage, like tweed, corduroy and flannel.
- Brown leather accessories, including suede and heavier shoes and boots.
What does this mean today?
Unless you're a member of the House of Lords, it's unlikely that you'll be flitting between a Mayfair manor and a country house, with a special wardrobe for each and a valet like Jeeves to keep you dressed appropriately for your milieu. Many folks in the first world live between country and city these days, in suburban and exurban environments that are neither dominated by gray concrete nor appropriate for grouse hunting. The days of strict adherence to the line between country and city are over - but understanding the line is still important.
Remember that these lines aren't just about place, they're also about tone. City clothes are still the most appropriate for most business contexts. Show up to court in tweed and you'll still look foolish in the 21st century. Country clothes are still the most relaxed - that's why you can wear heavy country brogues with jeans but sleek black cap-toes would look out of place.
So consider the tone of the place where you live, and the activities that make up your daily life. If you're a city lawyer, your wardrobe should be dominated by traditional city clothes. On weekends, you can dabble in country garb. If you live in the outskirts of Savannah, where you're a graphic artist, you can wear blue jeans and tweed without looking out of place at the Piggly Wiggly. No matter what you choose to wear, let it be informed by a hundred years of history and tradition.

Natural Factors - Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil 1000 mg. - 90 Softgels
Natural Factors Alaskan Salmon Oil Capsules are pure salmon oil, with the fatty acid ratio found in free-swimming salmon. Here's why this is unique: To achieve high ratios of EPA to DHA, commercially available salmon oil capsules are fortified with other fish oils. One benefit of Natural Factors Wild Sockeye Salmon Oil is that it has the lowest cholesterol levels, in contrast to the higher levels of cholesterol found in farmed salmon oil.Environmentally-conscious consumers need not worry about salmon stock depletion when taking this product. Natural Factors Wild Sockeye Salmon Oil is a value-added by-product of the wild salmon fishery. The oil is extracted from already harvested wild salmon, using parts of the fish that would otherwise be wasted.Salmon oil is an excellent source of important omega-3 fatty acids. Thousands of studies show the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for the heart and circulatory system. Two important Omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), both found liberally in cold water fish such as salmon. These fatty acids help reduce low density lipoproteins (LDLs) and raise levels of good high density lipoproteins (HDLs). These nutrients also reduce blood vessel constriction, lower fibrinogen, (the blood clotting factor), and keep platelets from becoming too sticky. Fish oil may keep arteries from being clogged after a procedure known as balloon angioplasty.High triglyceride levels are associated with heart disease. Both of these fatty acids lower triglyceride levels.The essential fatty acids found in fish may help the inflammation associated with arthritis.
Natural Factors priority is enhancing people's health.
Factor Farms:A quality herbal product starts with the highest quality fresh organic plant material. The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product.
To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic.
To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak.
Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

Curtis Rimmerman, MD
In "The Cleveland Clinic Guide to Heart Attacks", Curtis Rimmerman, MD, one of America's foremost authorities on heart health, reveals important information for patients and their families on how to avoid a heart attack or survive and thrive after one. Dr. Rimmerman answers your questions about heart attacks, including risk factors, diagnostic tests and treatments.
robertlA: I am 23 years old and occasionally get chest pain. Is it possible this is coming from heart and I could be having coronary disease and possible heart attack?
Dr__Rimmerman: Given your age, unlikely. I would recommend you see a doctor, have them perform an exam and assess your heart risk factors - particularly your cholesterol. I also suggest an EKG. That is an excellent start.
KL22139: I went to the emergency room for chest pain. They did an ekg, chest xray and blood work and said I wasn't having a heart attack. Now I keep having chest and left arm pain on and off but not sure what to do. Should I go back to the ER?
Dr__Rimmerman: Very difficult to advise over the computer. In the setting of your history of coronary artery disease, I would recommend a repeat visit to the ER.
Whils35: If you suspect you are having a heart attack, what should someone do?
Dr__Rimmerman: First thing - chew an aspirin and simultaneously call 911.
Driving yourself to the hospital is potentially dangerous to you and also the general public. Optimally you will be transported to your closest hospital to confirm or hopefully refute the diagnosis of heart attack. If confirmed, chances are you will be taken to the heart catheterization lab immediately. If a heart cath lab is not available, you may be administered powerful IV blood thinners and transported simultaneously to the closest hospital with a cath lab.
There is a saying - time is heart muscle - and that is why it is so important to quickly recognize your symptoms and quickly seek help. Driving yourself to a distant hospital with a cath lab vs. calling 911 and being treated to the closest hospital introduces greater risk than benefit. Let the medical professionals guide you after their prompt evaluation with their prompt evaluation with an exam, blood work and EKG.
When in doubt, or when you have any concern about a heart attack please call 911 - that is the best approach.
CalvinKL28: I had a heart attack 3 years ago. No symptoms but my doctor after my annual said he wants to do a nuclear stress test. I am wondering given all the press about unnecessary testing if 1. I need a stress test without symptoms or does my history warrant it and 2. Is nuclear necessary? What is the added value? Or - could there be something in the physical that could have caused him to say I need a stress test?
Dr__Rimmerman: In the absence of symptoms, I do favor an annual stress test. I would advocate for an exercise echo/similar information without radiation exposure.
marilynmann: The ACC "Choosing Wisely" list discourages stress testing in asymptomatic people, but they make an exception for patients with diabetes who are over 40, patients with 2% or more annual risk of an event, and patients with peripheral artery disease. Is there data showing that stress testing improves outcomes in those patients? I am concerned that stress testing can lead to false positives, referrals for cardiac catheterization, and unnecessary stenting.
Dr__Rimmerman: Great question. I am not aware of specific data in this patient population. 100% agree with the possibility of unnecessary testing, thus choosing patients for a stress test is exceedingly important and I tend to lean at a minimum toward the moderate risk population such as you describe. I also invariably utilize cardiac imaging in addition to stress ECG and preference echo imaging that in my experience has less likely false positive results.
charlene: Dr. Rimmerman, My friend recently was in the emergency room for a mild heart attack. When he was tested by cath later in the week, they found no blockage. Is it possible to have heart damage or a heart attack with no blockage?
Dr__Rimmerman: Yes. Especially in the case of coronary vasospasm or minimal blockage not visible on the cath which can still result in a ruptured plaque and transient blood clot formation.
Caroline527: Can you tell me what to do if you can not feel you have a heart attack to know you are having one in the future? My husband had a heart attack which showed up when he had a doctor check him out. He wasn't feeling well, went to the doctor and he said his EKG showed he had had a heart attack. He swears he had no symptoms.
Dr__Rimmerman: Tricky situation. About 30% of patients have no symptoms. I would advocate at a minimum a yearly stress test for surveillance; coupled with excellent dietary modification, regular exercise, blood pressure and lipid control.
Suzzztp: I'm a 40 year old female who had a heart attack. They told me it was a NSTEMI. It was diagnosed with enzymes. I was lucky and have no damage. Can you tell me 1. what does NSTEMI mean? 2. What are enzymes and how do they tell if you have a heart attack? 3. How do you have a heart attack and no damage? Feeling lucky.
Dr__Rimmerman: NSTEMI is an EKG pattern description only. With the enzymes in the blood are due to damaged heart muscle cells in the presence of a heart attack are released into the blood stream. Under normal circumstances, they are not detectable.
I suspect your heart attack was very small and not visible to the naked eye on, for instance an echocardiogram. You are fortunate but at the same time this is serious and your cardiac risk factors need to be optimized - such as lowering your cholesterol; making sure your blood pressure is well controlled; a regular exercise program; daily aspirin; daily statin; possibly a beta blocker; weight control and no tobacco.
lowres: If I have had one heart attack, am I more prone to another one?
Dr__Rimmerman: The short answer is yes - since you have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease presumably. The great news is that you should be much more informed patient and if you were not living an optimal lifestyle with regard to diet, exercise, etc, this is a fantastic opportunity to get those aspects of your life inline.
Additionally you should be on new medications - such as aspirin or statin and these medications in combination with your lifestyle efforts will lower your future heart attack risk to a level approaching that of a patient without a history of prior heart attack.
BarbaraB22: I have had chest pains on and off. The doctor said I have a spasm problem. He said there was not much to do for that. What do you do for a spasm in your heart? Is it dangerous? Can I get a heart attack from it?
Dr__Rimmerman: I presume you have had a heart catheterization to exclude significant blockage. If not, you may consider a treadmill based stress test and echo to make sure everything is ok. If that test comes out satisfactorily consider discussing addition of one of the following medications:
Infrequently heart attacks can occur from prolonged spasm, thus the above recommended investigation.
Lynda: Is endothelial dysfunction the same as coronary Microvascular disease? How it diagnosed and what is is the treatment?
Dr__Rimmerman: Endothelial dysfunction represents abnormal blood vessel response especially dilation in the face of stress/exercise and can be an adverse indicator of the beginnings of atherosclerotic disease. Endothelial dysfunction falls under the category of endovascular disease. Taking a hard look at your cardiac risk factors and making sure your lifestyle efforts are optimized in this situation.
RayMC: I am 65 and have been diagnosed with both mild heart and carotid artery disease. I am completely asymptomatic with lipids in line and absolutely no physical discomforts. I exercise strenuously for an hour, 5 days a week but have moved away as a safety precaution from the 95% max heart rate cardio I had been doing and now concentrate on strength training almost exclusively. I recently had a positive exercise stress echo but refused the suggested angiogram because of the high false positives and because my doctor said the likelihood of the necessity for angioplasty appeared to be only 30%.I am mindful of my diet, take low dose aspiring + statin daily. My sense is that there is nothing more to be done from a preventative point of view unless I want the angiogram. What are your thoughts on my situations? Thanks.
Dr__Rimmerman: Excellent question. Aim for an LDL less than 70, optimally HDL greater than LDL and this can often be obtained by one of the excellent food programs out there such a plant based diet.
Peppy: Is a plant based diet better for the heart with or w/o the addition of some wild salmon?
Dr__Rimmerman: You are asking a lot of questions about nutrition. Nutrition is a very important topic for the general population especially for people with atherosclerotic heart disease. I am a firm believer that with the combination of excellent medications available and a disciplined diet atherosclerosis can be stabilized and most importantly, reduction of heart endpoints such as stroke and heart attack can be achieved via the reduction of vascular inflammation and plaque rupture.
Diet is one component of a multi-pronged approach including statins, aspirin, blood sugar and blood pressure control, and tobacco cessation. Regular exercise confers outstanding physical and emotional benefit.
Kendar: After a heart attack, what type of exercise program do you recommend?
Dr__Rimmerman: Shortly after a heart attack it is best to enroll in an outpatient hospital based cardiac rehabilitation program. The benefit of this type of program is that it is highly supervised with medical professionals focusing on optimizing your cardiac health.
Dr__Rimmerman: This type of program will closely monitor your blood pressure, heart rhythm and heart rate and also for adverse symptoms as your program is gradually advanced. Most typically there is also a dietary educational component and also a support system of patients with similar diagnoses.
Once this program is completed, typically lasting 6 weeks you have the option of continuing with a similar program in a similar setting which is less supervised but creates the discipline for you should you deviate from your exercise routine. I equate exercise with other essentials such as eating, sleeping, brushing your teeth - in terms of its positive impact on your physical and emotional health it is a great way to lower blood pressure and it helps maintain a stable and excellent weight.
When starting an exercise program realize it is a journey and not a destination; thus reaching gold medal status on day one will not happen. Thirty minutes of continuous aerobic activity daily should be your goal and gradually increase your level of exercise as you tolerate.
Peppy: I was told my carotids are about 50% occluded and watching. I don't want surgery. Been on a plant based diet and statin, exercise for five years now. What else can be done to keep the stent and surgeon away? I'd rather medically manage or diet management.
Dr__Rimmerman: What you describe is perfect.
JoyD: I recently read that beta blockers carry certain side effects that may elevate cholesterol and triglyceride levels in some patients. I was placed on a beta blocker after having one episode of angina. Should I contact my cardiologist about making a change or wait until my one year visit?
Dr__Rimmerman: What I would suggest would be a repeat lipid profile 3 months after starting the beta blocker. If your results are not adversely impacted, there is no cause for concern.
carmenvelez: Is plavix routinely prescribed after post cardiac cath procedure? Any other meds recommended?
Dr__Rimmerman: It depends on what is found at the time of cardiac cath. Most frequently plavix is prescribed after stent placement. Other medications such as statins and aspirin are typically recommended if coronary artery disease is confirmed.
songcanary: Is there any comparable substitute for low dose aspirin if a person is prone to gastritis? No prior problems, just as prevention because of family history.
Dr__Rimmerman: The only alternative would be clopidogrel (plavix). This is most typically recommended as an alternative to aspirin when a true aspirin allergy exists. What you are describing is a side effect of aspirin. For instance, an allergy would represent a serious side effect such as hives or tongue swelling. Please discuss with your physician.
luker: What about stomach and intestinal bleeding with aspirin?
Dr__Rimmerman: It is a possibility and that is why I recommend using enteric coated aspirin and taking it with food. I prefer in the morning and should you have significant stomach upset, consider an antacid or over the counter medication.
Dr__Rimmerman: In heart patients, aspirin is as important a medication as other medicines such as statins and just because it is over the counter, its importance should not be minimized.
luker: Any recommendations for vitamins or nutrients, such as Vit E or D?
Dr__Rimmerman: Vitamin E has not proven to benefit cardiac outcomes. Vitamin D should be replaced if you are truly deficient. The only way to find this out is a blood level.
Peppy: How is the TAXUS II Express DES performing after five years in clinical studies? Restenosis high? Stent thrombosis risk increase or decrease? Mortality affected positively or?
Dr__Rimmerman: The TAXUS stent has been an excellent performing stent for many years.
tscan: I was diagnosed with MVP and regurgitation about 3 yrs ago and it has gotten worse. I am 51 yrs old and I am getting a HIDA Scan done this Friday for a nuclear stress test. If I need MVP surgery, do I have to make any special arrangements to come to the Cleveland Clinic to have that surgery performed?
Dr__Rimmerman: It depends on how much mitral valve leakage you have and certainly if significant a call to our Heart Center Resource Nurses at 866-289-6911 will help you with the steps for a surgical review.
clara: I had bypass surgery and aortic valve 2006. From 2009 - 2012 I have had 8 stents in all the major arteries; None due to restenosis. I was recently told that the tricuspid valve is severe and will need to have it fixed once I can go off Plavix. The mitral valve has changed some too. I think it was mild moderate and now moderate. I was also told that I have a genetic problem. I know that the tricuspid valve is not done often, also I wonder if I need to seek CC for advice. I do not have a cholesterol problem or high blood pressure.
Dr__Rimmerman: I am sorry to hear about your cardiac history and you sound like a complex situation. With this in mind, you would be an ideal patient for an experienced medical center such as Cleveland Clinic. We have many valvular heart disease specialists who are exceedingly qualified to see a patient such as you. You can go to www.clevelandclinic.org/heartnurse for contact information to speak to a nurse or call our appointment line at 800-223-2273, extension 46697.
rks1131: How serious a condition is it for someone having a low ef of 15%.
Dr__Rimmerman: It can be potentially very serious. However there are many excellent treatment options available. It is my sincere hope that you are in contact with an excellent cardiologist who has evaluated the cause of your heart dysfunction and placed you on the appropriate medications. We have excellent physicians at Cleveland Clinic who specifically specialize in taking care of patients with low ejection fractions.
ch2727: can CoQ10 used for heart patients, especially dilated cardiomyopathy? Also can a patient with cardiomyopathy and a defibrillator maintain a BP of 88/50? This patient is 31 years old.
Dr__Rimmerman: I am not aware of any interaction between CoQ10 and heart function. A low BP with reduced heart function is common and generally is a combination of low heart output and required medications.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Dr. Rimmerman, you also wrote the book "Speaking with Your Cardiologist", what are some take home points?
Dr__Rimmerman: It is hard to summarize the entire book, but I would strongly suggest if you have the time to carefully prepare for your visit with the cardiologist.

Pedro's Oranj Peelz Degreaser
Pedros Oranj Peelz keeps the shiny bits sparkling
My bottle of Pedros Oranj Peelz is on hand whenever the bike needs de-filthified. I pretty much swear by citrus degreasers for metal parts, but you definitely want to make sure to rinse any plastic thoroughly. I've gone through two plastic chain cleaning tools that decomposed after poor rinsing of the residue.

Lovey Dovey for the Kitchen
Opening up our Time Out issue yesterday, we laughed when we saw the Pop Art toaster in all its Valentine glory.
Reading "I'm Hot!" or "Bite Me", the toast will certainly get a message across. We're wondering how this would show up on wheat, rye, or multigrain toast, though; the photo shows a piece of white bread (barely toasted!)
Also in the Time Out Critics' Pick list: Heart-shaped measuring cups by Fred Flare. The sweet and silly item comes in a range of pinks (pictured below):
Pop Art toaster ($30) available online at Broadway Panhandler.
Fred Flare Measure Your Love cups ($12) available online.
Any other ideas out there for heart-filled cooking??

So lovey-dovey cute.. tis the season afterall!
Hi! This is Mia from fredflare.com! apartmentterapy.com is one of my favorites! Just browsing through Chicago and already finding a lot of fun posts to read! That toaster is pretty cute as well. Anyway, thanks so much for posting the cups! Keep up the genius work and I'll definitely keep reading it!
Crate & Barrel has some great Valentine-inspired items on sale right now, but I really love these heart-shaped silicone cake pans:

Popular jockey and NYRA regular Ramon Dominguez is closing in on 5,000 career victories to kick off 2013. We visit with the Venezuelan superstar as he closes in on the important milestone.
Friday, January 18, 2013
NYRA Press Office
Thursday, January 17, 2013
Ramon Dominguez entered Thursday's card with 4,983 wins in North America, 17 shy of 5,000. Since his first victory ever at Aqueduct – aboard Show My Gal on April 22, 1999 – and entering Thursday's card, Dominguez has ridden 1,048 winners at the Big A, which accounts for 21 percent of his total. On Thursday, the 36-year-old native of Venezuela reflected on his biggest victory ever at Aqueduct and his subsequent decision to move his tack here from the mid-Atlantic.
"Winning the Wood Memorial aboard Tapit in 2004 was definitely a big highlight. It came at a time in my career where I was starting to get better mounts and be friendlier with trainers like Graham Motion and Michael Dickinson and some others. It was a probably a turning point in my life, my career. Tapit was a horse who had tactical speed if you needed him. He was very, very talented. That day, the speed was actually holding pretty well. I just felt we had to take a hold coming into the first turn to settle down and before we know it we were pretty far back. He was taking me pretty nicely, and around the three-eighths pole, I finally could make a run but I was going to get going too wide around a horse called Swingforthefences, for Rick Violette. At that point in the race, which I didn't want to do, I had to take a light hold to get behind horses. When we got to the top of the lane, I said it was time for me to circle horses and from the quarter-pole home, he picked it up very gradually and made me feel that he wasn't all out by any means.
"I was very happy a couple of years later when my agent and I decided to come to Aqueduct and test the waters, so to speak. New York racing has always been the big leagues of racing, and from the get-go I always had a great response from people who were very supportive. I have great memories about Aqueduct from my beginnings. I have always been able, knock wood, to do well here. Riding in the winter can be uncomfortable at times, but at the end of the day when you're riding good horses and winning races, it definitely makes it warmer. When you weigh your primary purpose, which is winning races, you forget about the cold. And to be with my family as well is priceless."

Ramon Dominguez entered Wednesday's card with 4,981 wins in North America, 19 shy of 5,000. With Dominguez averaging exactly two wins a day since December 26, the two-time reigning Eclipse Award it should be only a matter of days before Dominguez reaches that mark.
Dominguez, a 36-year-old native of Venezuela, said on Wednesday that approaching an important milestone causes him to reflect upon how far he has come since he began his North American riding career at Hialeah Park in the spring of 1996.
"Anytime I'm close to reaching a milestone, whether it's 5,000 or when I was approaching 4,000 or 3,000, I can't help but to think about the time I won my 1,000th race," said Dominguez. "I thought it was a big deal at the time. What amazes me is how it feels like it was yesterday, literally. It happened at Pimlico. I don't remember the day, but I remember being in the winner's circle. They presented me with a watch that was engraved with 'Ramon Dominguez's 1000th win.' I felt like it was such a big deal at the time, and I feel that it wasn't too long ago. To now be contemplating 5,000 is big to me, and it feels great."
Dominguez's 1,000th victory came in 2001, and it's been less than three years since he won his 4,000th race. He reached the 4,000 milestone on March 19, 2010 when he piloted Fortyninegeorgest to victory at Aqueduct Racetrack. With Dominguez once again remaining in New York for the winter, the rider is likely to achieve another milestone at the Big A. Visit NYRA.com for daily updates on Dominguez and he moves closer to 5,000!

I'm tired of seeing different, biased pictures showcasing Marilyn Monroe versus an unknown anorexic looking female. So what if we put Victoria's Secret model Irina Shayk up against Marilyn Monroe, is the argument still valid?
This body complex needs to stop. First of all, NO, "real women" do not need to have curves and NO, "real women" don't need to be thin. How unfortunate that we live in a time where people spew this BS and ultimately will alter their own children's perspective of what true beauty is. True beauty comes from the strength of the heart. Anyone can be attractive, it all depends on their self-esteem, confidence, and who they choose to associate with. It is bad enough that the media warps people's minds to think that one minute you should look like a top model but then the next minute you need to look like Kim Kardashian. What's even worse is that people eat this negativity for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't care if you are overweight or underweight, it isn't right to tear apart people or pick at people or post ridiculous and asinine photos that promotes being thin or being thick.
I live by the notion of "different strokes, for different folks." There isn't anything wrong with me for wearing size XS, and there isn't anything wrong with the next person who wears size XL. My body has maintained the same weight since I was 16. I eat all the time, but thanks to the genes on my father's side of the family, I barely ever gain fat. People think I need to eat more or that I must be "killing myself" in the gym to look the way I do when in all actuality I haven't gone to the gym in over a month. How rude of anyone to tell a person they need to "eat more"; comments like this are apart of the problem because you are implying that there is something wrong with me when I think I am absolutely perfect the way I am. There obviously is something wrong with you to have the audacity to say that.
Females have enough pressure and issues with their body as it is. I'll take my chances worrying about if I will get a medically life-changing disease down the road over how I will fit into an outfit any day. Curvy, skinny, heavy, light—you still are beautiful. There isn't a good, better, best, there's only what there is, and what there is is a million beautiful shapes, sizes, and colors shining behind the clouds of those that have been misled to think otherwise.
