Back to work
I've got to tell you i love the blogging world! I get so many ideas, some of the greatest support and it's just a fun place to be ;)
Remember this week i was keeping my eye on my sodium levels. Well it has indeed surprised me.
When i started i just logged in my food and would see at the end of the day how my sodium added up. Now i don't use the salt shaker and i don't cook with it unless it's for baking where an entire recipe may call for 1/2 tsp of salt. Anyway it's been eye opening. At first i was over the maximum that is the RDA 2,400 mg.
So then i started to look at the foods i was eating, which ones were the ones sending over the maximum??
Over the week i learned which foods to eat less off (processed) and which i could freely add more of (fruits and veggies)!!
My rings started to be looser, my eyes less puffy and overall i've been quite happy with the changes and i plan to sticking to them.
Oh and the bbq last night?? Awesome, great people and lots of food. However, right after the last burger came off and i was putting the hot dogs on we ran out of gas!! Oh well that's what microwaves were invented for, right?? Definitely have to the same people over again before my daughter leaves for the Netherlands in November!!
Right now i'm off to put the laundry in the dryer, go out for a walk, pick up catfood, have lunch and get ready for work!! Just your normal day ;)

Congrats on all your weight loss!ReplyDelete
I learned a lot about sodium at the Rice House, home to the Rice Diet in Durham. I never used much either, but it's amazing how it hides! If I remember correctly, the maintenance phase puts you at about 800mg of sodium, which is no small feat. I think the first phase was around 50mg. But boy did I feel good!ReplyDelete
Congrats! Been watching the sodium carefully myself. The eye opener for me was cottage cheese! Guess it is a preservative, but at the store today I was SHOCKED to see that fat free cottage cheese had MORE sodium per serving than 1%! We need to watch those labels if we eat ANY processed foods.ReplyDelete
Keep up the good work!
Hi! I wanted to say thanks for stopping by my blog. Your blogs are great, and congrats on your weight loss- you are doing awesome! I love blogs that have pictures of food, but I have to be careful, because it always makes me hungry. Oh, and look at the time- lunch is calling, LOL.ReplyDelete
good stuff...have a great day! :)ReplyDelete
yes, sodium lurks where you'd least expect it. I have to say also that when I was drinking alcohol, my rings were tighter the next day. It doesn't go over well with my body.ReplyDelete
I tracked my sodium...and it was in my CHEESE. Crazy, huh? I dropped pounds by quitting the fat free cheese!ReplyDelete
sodium I love youReplyDelete
you are not good for me
if only when I see your snax
I did not FILL WITH GLEE.

together. As anticipated given the research methods and the use of television viewing as a measure of exposure to advertising, the quality of the measures was medium or low, never high, and, with the one experiment as an exception, causal inference validity was never high and most often was low. On the other hand, with two exceptions, ecological validity was never low and was most often high because the research methods and measures permitted assessment of everyday life phenomena. Also as anticipated, ecological validity tended to be higher when causal inference validity was lower (see Table 5-18). The results for the relationship of marketing to diet-related health do support generalization to everyday life, but do not make it easy to determine cause and effect.
The preponderance of results (51 of 74, 69 percent) reported a significant association between marketing and diet-related health. Examination of the data in Tables 5-16, 5-17, and 5-18 indicated that there is no apparent difference in the characteristics of the research producing significant and nonsignificant results. Further exploration of possible differences based on breakdowns using multiple variables did not change this finding. Moreover, the two relevance ratings (see Table 5-17) indicated that the significant results were from research that was at least as relevant as the research that produced the nonsignificant results: For causal inference validity, 28 percent of the significant results were rated medium (one was high) compared to 22 percent of the nonsignificant results, and for ecological validity, 86 percent of the significant results were rated high compared to 83 percent of the nonsignificant results. This general pattern did not change when causal inference validity and ecological validity were considered together (see Table 5-18).
As Table 5-16 shows, available evidence about the relationship of marketing and diet-related health is almost entirely evidence about the relationship of television advertising exposure and adiposity among children and teens. In contrast to the evidence about the relationship of marketing to precursors of diet, or to diet itself, in which two or three different types of outcomes have been studied, there is only one outcome that has been studied to any degree: adiposity. Also, only one type of marketing has been studied: exposure to television advertising. To determine what can be concluded about the relationship of television advertising exposure to adiposity in children and teens, one result (Wong et al., 1992) that was not about adiposity was omitted from further consideration. Of the 73 results remaining in the evidence table, the infant/toddler sample in the Vandewater et al. (2004) study and the cardiovascular fitness outcome in the Guillaume et al. (1997) result were both removed from further consideration.

Unfortunately, none of us know how many groups were turned down by the Recs department in the months prior to DBC's 2 week notification that it would not put on a race.
Prior attempts to race on Saturday have been turned down due to business traffic in the area. In short, the city (not the Recs department) have said no Stazio races on Saturday.
What is the problem with both groups using the area? Probably parking. The entrance to the softball lots is from the course. Both groups could use the area if they moved the entrance/exit to 63rd street....OR if they asked the softballers to ride their bikes to the fields like we did as kids.....to play a kids game. ;-)
Why didn't Chris kick in the extra $980 bucks? Since a practice crit generates 300-400 riders at $20 each, he still makes 6-8 grand. WoW.

Thanks for the info, very helpful. Based on what you said (and it makes sense) why doesn't the rec dept have games on Saturday and let us race on Sunday? I don't see how softball would disturb local biz.
Or... do you think DBC is just looking for an easy excuse to stop putting on the race? I'm sure they make $$ based on how large the fields get but nothing seems to be making a lot of common sense on this issue.

I don't think that DBC was looking for excuses but it does seem like a lot of work is wasted by pulling out 2 weeks before the event.
The softball events were going to be 2-3 day tourneys. Interesting enough, they were going to use this as a "practice" tournament for bigger ones in April and May, sound familiar?
If you've ever been over there during tournaments, it is packed pretty good. I just wish they would not set up their tents and bar-b-ques on the BIKE PATH!

Health Benefits of Celery
Celery is an alimentary herb as well as a special medicinal plant. Celery leaves are used for spicing up foods and drinks such as cocktails. The volatile oil extracted from this vegetable can be used for medicinal purposes as well as an ingredient for various perfumes.
Usually, celery (Apium graveolens) is used in making salads, spicing up foods containing meat, etc. However, the roots, leaves and celery seeds are used for therapeutic purposes in treating and preventing diseases. In medicine, celery has been used as far back as Ancient Greece when it was highly valued for its properties as an aphrodisiac as well as its medicinal properties. Around the same time celery was also used as a decorative herb by the Romans, who used the leaves for their "Winner's Crown".In traditional medicine celery was used to eliminate intestinal parasites. Chinese medicine recommended celery to be used as a medicine to treat high blood pressure due to its stabilizing components. Apium graveolens initially grew on humid grounds of Europe and Asia. With the start of the 19th century, celery began to be grown in United States. Nowadays this vegetable is more commonly used in foods, due to the richness of its taste. It is also useful in stomach illnesses, rheumatism, obesity and diseases of the urinary bladder; celery keeps its therapeutic properties the best when it is consumed raw. Either used as a snack or as medicine, celery detoxifies the body, stimulates the nervous system and mineralizes the body.

Vitamin C contained by celery strengthens the immunologic system and at the same time makes the body more resistant against new diseases. Calcium, potassium and magnesium act towards the same goal, straightening the body. Along with magnesium, iron is effective in alleviating the effects of anemia. Celery has the ideal quantities of iron and magnesium to stop oncological diseases from progressing. This plant has diuretic properties and dichloridic effects which are useful in renal afflictions (like renal colic and renal lithiasis) and heart disorders. In this purpose celery root is used. Due to its depurative properties, the consuption of celery is recommended for individuals who have a fast paced lifestyle and are unable to maintain a healthy diet. Because of these properties - diuretic and depurative - celery is the ideal ingredient for diets based on weight-loss. Diets based on celery have energizing and fortifying effects on the body due to the stimulation of the renal glands, reduction of the stress hormone and decreasing of the heart rate. But celery also has hypoglycemic properties, which means it can be used in treating sugary diabetes. Other properties: expectorant, emollient (effective against bronchitis), it adjusts hormonal dysfunctions (dysmenorrhea, infertility, disorders caused by menopause, various forms of acne, allergic dermatosis); cicatrizing (good for wounds, scratches, ulcerations).
Treatments and mixtures
Celery is consumed as a diuretic and laxative by those who have urinary retentions or suffer from kidney illnesses; it is also efficient in cases of asthenia, hoarseness, rheumatism, icterus, gout, arthritis, inflammations, dermatosis, diabetes, and obesity. Individuals with high cholesterol should add celery to their diets. Moreover, celery is effective for those who have lack of food appetite. Below are some mixtures based on celery.
Infusion of celery powder
To prepare the infusion, four spoonfuls of celery powder are put in 1 liter of boiling water. After that, the mixture is passed through a sieve and 1 cup of it a day is consumed to treat hoarseness, intestinal gases or for its laxative/diuretic properties. The infusion made from boiling two spoonfuls of grained celery stimulates the central nervous system. The infusion is taken daily in small amounts. If in one glass of cold water a spoonful of grained celery root is left to macerate, the resulting mixture taken before each meal treats anorexia. The infusion needs to be renewed each day.
Celery decoct
Twenty five grams of celery boiled in 1 liter of water are sufficient in preparing the mixture. The resulting decoct is taken in small quantities and is efficient against rheumatism, cough and hoarseness. A more concentrated decoct (containing between 30 and 40 grams of celery root in 1 liter of water) has a diuretic and depurative effect, treating slow digestions, obesity, gout, rheumatism.
Celery juice
Celery juice is excellent in treating rheumatism, allergies, stomach disorders, eliminating toxins, stimulating digestion and food appetite, adjusting sexual functions (treats frigidity and impotence) and is known as an all-round aphrodisiac. The ideal dosage in which it should be consumed is 3 glasses a day.
For pregnant women the consumption of celery should be made in very small quantities. Celery can cause in very rare cases allergic reactions to some individuals (cases which occurred in Central Europe).

How To Use Celery Seed For Quick PMS Water Weight Loss
Are you suffering from pre-menstrual water weight? Suffering through that extra five to ten pounds that can mean the difference between snapping your jeans, and laying flat on your back to zip them while inhaling deeply? Consider using celery seed, a potent diuretic that can help your body release excess fluid and stop the bloat for quick weight loss.
How Does Celery Seed Work For Weight Loss?
Celery seed (apium graveolens) has health benefits as a diuretic. Diuretics cause weight loss by forcing the human body to shed excess water weight. In layman's terms, celery seed will cause you to urinate more frequently, thereby releasing the excess water weight that is showing up as pre-menstrual bloat. However, please note that celery seed weight loss will not be permanent. Diuretic induced weight loss only removes water weight, not fat stores. Another benefit to celery seed is that in addition to helping you shed those extra pounds that creep up around the time of your period, celery seed actually can stimulate uterine contractions. This means celery seed can help bring on menstruation, while shedding water weight pounds which can help you get over the PMS hump quicker.
How To Use Celery Seed For Weight Loss
Celery seed can be made into a tasty infusion with a mild flavor. A common doseage of celery seed for weight loss is to use one to two teaspoons of crushed celery seed per one cup of boiling water. The celery seed infusion for water weight loss should be steeped for approximately ten minutes. You want to strain the infusion before drinking. While ingesting the celery seeds will not harm you, straining makes drinking the diuretic celery seed infusion more pleasant.
Tips And Warnings For Using Celery Seed For Weight Loss
• Only use celery seed infusions for weight loss under the supervision of your health care provider
• Use organic celery seeds to avoid chemical pollution in your diuretic celery seed weight loss infusion
• Increase celery seed infusion to two teaspoons if one teaspoon does not give you the desired water weight loss results
• Do not use celery seed infusions if you are pregnant or on blood pressure medications or prescription diuretics without physician approval
• Use cheesecloth to create a tea bag for your crushed celery seed to avoid having to strain your weight loss infusion

Though we often tend to eat the stalks, the celery leaves are loaded with most of the nutritional value. So, try and sprinkle some celery leaves on soups or sauces to attain maximum benefits of this vegetable.
Its crunchy texture makes it a suitable ingredient for salad preparations. Besides salads, Celeries are also used to prepare celery soups, celery juices, stews and are also mixed into cocktail drinks. Celery and carrot mixed juice makes a great health drink.
Antioxidant Properties add value to celery benefits
Celeries have antioxidant properties which are good for the heart. They destroy the free radical scavengers that can damage cells of the body. The antioxidant property of celeries reduces the chances of asthma. Also, celery's anti-inflammatory properties help reduce inflammations. Apply grated celery to swollen glands to alleviate the inflammation
A Useful Tip:
Celery freezes easily so keep celery away from the coldest areas of your refrigerator.
Having read the celery benefits, you must now include celery in your daily diet. To get the optimum benefits of celeries, you must take celeries in various forms-raw, cooked, salad, juice etc.
Enjoy the celery benefits!!!

Health and Weight loss benefits of Celery
Celery seed
Celery seed is the dried fruit of Apium graviolens, a biennial in the parsley family. Celery is a member of the Umbelliferae (carrot family) Apium graveolens and is an erect strong smelling biennial (botanically) 30 to 60 cm tall. Celery belongs to the same family of plants as the carrot, parsley, fennel, caraway and anise. Celery consists of long, slender green stalks that surround a pale green central heart, all joined at the bulbous base. The plant prefers wet, salty soils and bears small, white flowers during June and July, which later yield the smooth, grey-coloured fruits of the celery seeds. Celery seeds are very small, tan to dark brown, and have a strong, pleasant smell. Mainly known as a vegetable, celery also has long been used for its medicinal qualities.
Medicinal uses and health benefits of celery
Celery is rich in fiber and in chemical compounds. It is about 94% water, contains protein, calcium, vitamin C, carbohydrate,
sodium, and a trace of fat. Celery is also valuable for adding fiber to the diet. Celery seeds contain several substances including volatile oils, flavonoids, coumarins, and linoleic acid. The essential oil of celery seed includes d-limonene, selinene, sesquiterpene alcohols, sedanolide, and sedanonic anhydride. As a medicinal plant, celery has been used as an aphrodisiac, anthelmintic, antispasmodic, carminative, diuretic, emmenagogue, laxative, sedative, stimulant, and tonic.
Celery seeds are mainly used as a diuretic, these help clear toxins from the system, so are especially good for gout, where uric acid crystals collect in the joints, and arthritis. Infusions from the seeds are used for rheumatoid arthritis and gout. Diluting the essential oil is also effective for these conditions. The essential oil and oleoresin of celery seed are used as a flavoring or fragrance in liqueurs, perfumes, and cosmetics, such as soaps, creams, and lotions. Large amounts of the volatile oil can produce sedation and irritation that may be responsible for attributed antispasmodic properties. Celery juice from the whole, fresh plant is taken for joint and urinary tract inflammations, as well as for rheumatoid arthritis, cystitis, or urethritis, weak conditions, and nervous exhaustion. Root also acts as a bitter digestive remedy and liver stimulant. Root tinctures have been used as a diuretic in hypertension and urinary disorders, are a component in arthritic remedies or used as a kidney stimulant and cleanser.
Side effects, precautions, interactions
Pregnant women should not use celery seed because it may uterine bleeding and cause muscle contractions in the uterus. People with active kidney inflammation should also avoid this herb. Active compounds in celery stems and seeds can cause the skin to become highly sensitive to UV rays. Do not apply the essential oil externally in bright sunshine, because bergapten in the seeds could increase photosensitivity. The volatile oil in quantity is toxic to the kidneys and so should not be used in kidney disorders. Allergic reactions are rare.

Moreover, the low calorie count make celery a wonderful weight loss vegetable for weight conscious people. Read on to know more.
Fresh green celeries, grown mainly for their stalks are available all throughout the year and have emerged as a common vegetable found on dinner tables along with carrots, beans, potatoes, etc. Belonging to the parsley family, celery (Apium graveolens) can be eaten raw or cooked. Its crunchy texture makes it a suitable candidate for salad preparations. Besides salads, they are also used to prepare soups, stews and are also mixed into cocktail drinks. There are two kinds of celeries cultivated today: pale green Pascal celery (common) and golden celery. Moreover, these types grow in clusters of long, ribbed stalks featuring bushy, leafy tops. This article dwells on celery calories and nutrition facts, so let's have a look at some celery nutrition facts.
Celery Nutrition Guide
A good variety of celery will have smooth, even colored, unblemished stalks with fresh, non-wilting leaves. Celery with light green stalks are more flavorful than the dark green ones. However, one should keep away from white stalks as they indicate tough and over-aged celery. Celery nutrition value is high and comprises ample amounts of dietary fiber, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B6, riboflavin and folate.
Celery Calories Count
Like all other vegetables, celery also contain calories. Weight conscious people are eager to know about celeries calorie count. In 100 g of raw celery, 18 calories are present.
Celery Nutrition Benefits
Celery calories and nutrition facts make it an ideal vegetable for maintaining optimum health conditions. Here are a few celeries health benefits.
Heart Health
Celery consumption is believed to reduce blood pressure. They contain compounds called phthalides, which relax artery muscles and allow them to dilate, thereby regulating the blood pressure. Moreover, these compounds also decrease stress hormone release, which tends to constrict the blood vessels. Thus, celeries are suitable for people suffering from hypertension.
Weight Loss
Celery nutrition calories make it a suitable food item for people interested in weight loss. Moreover, it is also said that drinking celery juice helps suppress one's appetite. Read more on celery juice benefits.
Strengthens Immune System
Celery furnishes the body with adequate amounts of vitamin C, which is required for proper functioning of the immune system. Vitamin C helps strengthen the body and reduces the body's vulnerability to common cold. Thus, consumption of celeries help increase one's resistance, so make sure you eat lots of celery in the winter months.
Antioxidant Properties
Celeries have antioxidant properties which are good for the heart. They destroy the free radical scavengers that can damage cells of the body. This antioxidant property also reduces the chances of asthma. Moreover, celery's anti-inflammatory properties also help reduce inflammations. When grated celery is applied to swollen glands, the inflammation gets alleviated.
Joint Health
Celeries are also known to help treat arthritis and joint problems as it clears up uric acid deposits from painful joints. People suffering from arthritis, gout and rheumatism should incorporate celery seeds in their diet.
Diuretic Activity
Celery seeds have been widely used as diuretics and are also known to maintain the fluid balance in the body. They also stimulate urine production, thereby helping the body get rid of toxins and excess fluids. Read more on celery seed health benefits.
Fights Cancer
Celery contains an ingredient called acetylenics. This compound is known to hamper the growth of cancer cells. Moreover, the phenolic acid present in them is known to block the action of tumor encouraging, hormones like prostaglandins, thereby reducing chances of cancer.
While most vegetables lose their nutritional value on cooking, celeries retain their nutritional content. Consuming a cup of cooked or raw celery will furnish one's body with the day's necessary nutritional content. Though we often tend to eat the stalks, the celery leaves are loaded with most of the nutritional benefits. Thus, try and sprinkle some celery leaves on soups or sauces to attain maximum benefits of this vegetable. Hope this article on celery calories count was helpful!

A healthy Thanksgiving
I know this seems ridiculous (more marshmallows on that sweet potato casserole, yo!), but just hear me out. While I love the traditions of Thanksgiving (family, food, wine and football), I don't particularly love feeling stuffed and unable to move from the couch (especially with a mobile toddler) after dinner. As such, I've been researching some healthier festive recipes to accompany that succulent bird. Here are the winners:
- Arugula, grape and almond salad: as you know, I would put arugula in my morning oatmeal if I could. I can't get enough. With sweet grapes and crunchy almonds (and a refreshing Chenin Blanc, perhaps?), this appetizing salad comes in around 200 calories.
- Roasted delicata squash with quinoa salad: While this one may require a little more work, I like it for several reasons: it's from Michael Symon (what up, Ohio!), it's gluten free and it contains arugula. Next…
- Apple and onion stuffin' muffins: This one has a stick of butter, yes, but the stuffing comes in muffin form (i.e. automatic portion control).
- Herb roasted turkey with maple gravy: I love all of the quintessential Thanksgiving herbs this dish contains, but adding a maple gravy? So unexpected. Kind of like having the main course and dessert at the same time.
- Beet and apple salad: You knew I couldn't have a Thanksgiving without beets!
What dishes will you be making on Thanksgiving (healthy or not)?

UConn coach Jim Calhoun has put up with a lot of medical issues over the last few years but has never wavered in the face of difficulty, always promising to make things right that initially took a turn for the worst under his supervision. But after fracturing his hip at the start of this season, Jim Calhoun has called the quits on coaching at a crucial juncture for the Huskies after the NCAA declared UConn ineligible for the 2013 season last year following poor academic results.
Although UConn sought a waiver revealing improved academic results in 2011-2012, it was still rejected by the NCAA, resulting in five academically struggling Huskies' departure from the university.
Neverthless, Jim Calhoun, who led the Huskies to three national championships during 26 years of coaching the team, had long sought a successor to his job and finally found his man in UConn assistant coach Kevin Ollie. After spending 13 seasons in NBA, Kevin Ollie joined UConn in 2010.
Towards the 2011 postseason, UConn had 11 straight victories, paving the way for their ninth ranking in the Big East.
The 70-year-old Jim Calhoun has 873 wins for his 40-years of coaching. Jim Calhoun led the Huskies to three national championship titles (1999, 2004 and 2011) as well as inclusion with the four teams in the Final Four.
Jim Calhoun had intended to retire right ahead of the new season just like Dean Smith, who left North Carolina prior to the 1996-1997 season.
After being hired by UConn in May 1986, Jim Calhoun won a NIT title into his second year of coaching. His teams also claimed victories at Big East regular season championships and Big East tournament titles by the ratio of ten an seven respectively.
The Huskies were onto a 34-2 record n the 1999 season and achieved their first NCAA championship by defeating Duke with 77-74.
The 2004 season was another highlight of Jim Calhoun's successes after the Huskies ranked No.1 by the end of the 2012 season after defeating Georgia Tech 82-72.
In 2005, Jim Calhoun made it to UConn's Basketball Hall of Fame and missed eight games due to intense back pain. Jim Calthoun eventually has the back surgery the same year after missing four games and leading the Huskies to a 20-14 record and a loss to Iowa State during the first round.
UConn's dominating streak at the Final four under Jim Calhoun was broken with a single loss to Michigan State at the national semifinals in 2009. Additionally, Jim Calhoun also skipped the Huskies' first NCAA tournament game that season after being hospitalized due to dehydration.
Health issues have been a recurring problem for Jim Calhoun, who missed 11 games due to medical issues and left another 29 for unspecified reasons. The three-time cancer survivor has also faced prostate cancer in 2003 and skin cancer twice, with most recent occurrence in 2008.
During May 2010, the NCAA announced the program had committed eight violations of its rules, which included allegations that student-athletes were given unfair benefits, and the coaching staff not only improperly contacted recruits but also handed out free game tickets to high school coaches and several other individuals. The conclusion was drawn upon a 15-month investigation into UConn's recruiting of Nate Miles, who was expelled without having a chance to play for the Huskies in October 2008.
Jim Calhoun was cited for failing to up-hold an atmosphere of compliance within the program. Jim Calhoun still had two-years remaining on his contract at the time of retirement.

I am about to commence the rebuilding of the CD4E transmission for my 1996 2.0L Tour (I have obtained a used case), however, I have few concerns the nature of which are as follows.
The very first item to be installed in the rebuild is the Low/Reverse Piston which the rebuild manual (Ford CD4E Rebuild Procedures by Cliff McCormack) recommends needs Seal Protectors for safe installation. However, I do not have access to these tools & cannot justify spending $110.00 ( p://www.toolsource.com/ford-clutch-piston-seal-protectorinstaller-cd4e-p-94331.html?osCsid=6tn71f65a8tnc6ucobfb0j3810 ) to purchase them. Therefore I am using this medium to ascertain whether anyone has done this rebuild & if so what method was used to install the Low/Reverse Piston.
Secondly I intend to install a TransGo SK CD4E-Jr Shift Kit; however, I am not sure on how to approach the drilling of the holes in the Accumulator & Main Valve Body Plates. I am sure that these holes must be accurately drilled, however, while the instructions in the kit shows where the holes are to be drilled they do not give any measurements to ensure accuracy. Consequently, I am also seeking assistance on how to proceed with drilling the one hole in the Accumulator Plate and the three in the Main Valve Body in order to have them accurately done & not destroy the valve body. (I wish TransGo had included a template that could be used to do this).
The usual comments/suggestions & assistance will be greatly appreciated.

How often do you see pretty coffee filters?
We're excited to announce that WIRED Magazine selected Craft Coffee to be part of the 8th Annual WIRED Store in Soho this year!
You can also find us in the online WIRED Store.
WIRED describes the WIRED Store as an "elite pop-up gallery featuring the latest and greatest in gadgets, gear, art, décor and special events."
Check out some highlights from the opening night party with us!
Mike, our founder, was lucky enough to nab an exclusive invite to the opening night party. DJ ?uestlove kept the party going while we hobnobbed with celebs like Amber Tamblyn, Nikki Reed, Rob Buckley, Vanessa Bayer and, oh so ironically, Portlandia's Fred Armisen.
Exciting to see Craft Coffee on display! Mike carries around Craft Coffee promotional cards (founders are known to do things like that!), so he left some behind as gifts for visitors.
This year's theme is "What's Inside." Instead of the usual photo booth, all the ladies got an x-ray image of what was in their bag to take home. WIRED said they wanted us to think about the everyday objects we carry around with us.
The walls on the way to the martini bar were adorned with vintage Star Wars posters from Italy. Classy!
The lego art was amazing too. This piece was maybe 5 feet tall!
The WIRED store is open to the public until 12/23/12. If you're in NYC this holiday season, check it out!
Thank you to WIRED Magazine for recognizing all the hard work we do here at Craft Coffee to bring our customers truly amazing coffee experiences!

Craft Coffee, the company that pioneered a new kind of coffee-of-the-month subscription, has today launched a Kickstarter campaign to save your mornings.
The New York-based company plans to build the "most complete and exceptional coffee program in the Universe", reports lead engineer Nate Berkopec. Founder, Michael Horn, adds "The coffee experience is incomplete. It's in bits and pieces. Now is the time to take things to the next level."
The company has received reports that coffee drinkers everywhere are suffering from the terrible experiences of bad "gourmet" coffee. Or worse, they buy good coffee and don't know what to do with it. Craft Coffee believes all people everywhere deserve better.
Speaking of people everywhere deserving better, by helping Craft Coffee surpass $25,000 in funding through Kickstarter, the company has officially announced that 5% of all revenues received from the campaign will go to the Coffee Kids charity. If it surpasses $35,000 in funding, then it will up that to 10% of all revenue received with no cap. So tweet this and post it on Facebook.
Craft Coffee pioneered a new kind of coffee of the month program. It turns your morning coffee into a moment of discovery, curated by New York's top coffee pros. There's nothing like it out there.
Designer, Angie Chan concludes "You're not going to believe what I'm going to design with these resources. It's going to blow your mind." We are prepared for blown minds, ladies and gentlemen.
Craft Coffee's Kickstarter campaign launches today. You should check it out.
Jason Burkum at Beansmith has been very busy carefully roasting the coffee you'll be sampling shortly. Look for notes of blueberry and jasmine and hints of lemon curd. We love it and we're sure you will too!
This is probably one of the most frequent questions I get asked on bar: How should I store my coffee for maximum freshness?
Well, the answer is actually pretty easy: store it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Ideally the beans you are buying come in a bag with a one-way valve on it to let the off-gassing CO2 from the coffee out without letting oxygen in, so you can just roll down the bag tight and clip it. If your beans aren't coming in a bag like that, I'd suggest an airtight container.
You shouldn't put the beans in the fridge or especially the freezer, this will screw up the moisture content in the beans and break down the cell structure. And don't forget, the most important thing is to buy small amounts frequently so your coffee is always nice and fresh.

Not only is your Craft Coffee boxes on the way - you're getting a Pro-Tip too!
Coffee has two ingredients: beans, and water. We at Craft Coffee clearly love to obsess over the beans, but without good water, even the nicest coffee may wind up tasting flat. Unless you live in a place with reliably low-mineral water, I highly suggest using at least a Brita pitcher or similar to filter the water you use for brewing. Run of the mill bottled water can work too—no need to splurge since we just want a nice low-mineral water. Avoid distilled water though, you do need some minerals in there to extract the full flavor.

The latest tempest in coffee-pot amongst the coffee twitter-sphere is the question of cold-brewed coffee versus "japanese" style iced coffee. The debate was kicked off in large part by Oliver Strand's post on the subject, http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/06/ristretto-i-dont-know-what-you-did-last-summer/, and involves a lot of coffee esoterica, but there are certainly substantive differences between the two styles that merit your further investigation. I encourage you to give both styles of ice coffee a try and see which one is more to your liking. And don't forget, one variable that most people are ignoring this discussion is that cold-brew coffee is 1.5-2x more caffeinated than Japanese iced coffee.

Pro-Tip Time. I give you your favorite: Alex Bernson
Cleanliness is crucial to good coffee. There are many compounds in coffee that can dirty things up, especially the coffee oils that will coat your brewing equipment and go rancid if you don't clean them off. You should at least rinse, if not soap and scrub, your brewers after each use, but for deep cleaning, there's nothing better than Cafiza. Used primarily to clean the tenacious the gunk in espresso machines, a bit of this stuff in hot water will also do wonders on your brewing equipment, as well as any other mess you can imagine. Grease traps from stoves, dirty tubs, baked on food, etc. Just be careful, this will start to eat away at delicate plastic if you leave it sitting!
Get some at Sweet Marias!

It's Tuesday which means Pro-Tip by Alex Bernson!
For all you uber-coffeegeeks out there with an espresso machine in your kitchen, here's a good way to get a handle on what baristas mean when they're talking about a shot being "over-extracted" or "under-extracted".Get ready to make a shot of espresso as you normally would, but get 3 demitasse cups ready.
Have an idea in your head of about how long your shots usually run seconds-wise. Start the shot going and put the first demitasse under the portafilter. A third of the way through the shot (~7seconds) pull the first cup away and put the second one under. Do the same at ~15s with the third cup.
The first cup will have a dark, dense look to it. If you taste it, it'll be sour and maybe salty but also have some sweetness, caramel and dark fruit flavors. If your shots tend to taste too much like this you are "under-extracting".
The second cup will be sweeter and have more of a smooth, round body. A good shot of espresso needs to have a lot of this middle sweetness.
The last cup will be more bitter and sharp. If your shots normally taste too much like this you are "over-extracting".
Each of these cups will be pretty unpleasant by themselves, but they add up to a delicious shot of espresso when they are all in balance. If your shots are tasting under-extracted to you, try loosening your grind setting, and conversely, try tightening the grind if they taste over-extracted.

Today's pro-tip is by our lovely coffee evaluator Alex Bernson.
Taste your coffee at different temperatures
Here's a real simple way to learn a lot more about a coffee: try drinking it at cooler temperatures than you normally would.
It is easiest for us to taste things when they are near our body temperature, and harder when they are too hot or cold. This is why bad beer is served ice cold, and truck-stop coffee piping hot.
If you let your cup of coffee cool, you'll notice that the acidity—the lively high notes in the experience—will open up and become more distinct. You may also notice more sweetness as it cools.
In general, the better a coffee is, the wider its range of enjoyable temperatures.
Be sure to tweet your thoughts at Alex @alexbernson!
Today we're saying goodbye to our good friends Detour, Novo and Panther after many good times enjoying notes of brown sugar and coconut, passionfruit and grapefruit acidity and flavors of pears and barley malt.
But we're packing lots of great stuff in boxes this weekend, so get excited
- new Craft Coffee is on it's way!
It's time for Craft Coffee's founder, Mike Horn, to show some of the things that he loves:
"I am obsessed with People's Pops. I eat them before my lunch and after. Preferably the blueberry ones. I actually love People's Pops so much that I will be serving them at my wedding this summer! If that isn't true love, I don't know what is."
Tweet at Craft Coffee's founder @mikehorn if you love People's Pops too!

In the same way that a freshly painted wall or carefully chosen piece of artwork can add a punch of life to a room, the right color for a kitchen island can transform a space.
While some kitchen islands are certainly ideal in a classic black or white tone, other kitchen island color options range from soft pastel hues to vibrant and bold colors, like orange and yellow.
Try using a bright citrus or playful emerald green as an accent color, decorating the side panels of a kitchen island with the hue and pairing it with a simple wood or stainless steel countertop. A kitchen that boasts a fairly minimal design, like white perimeter cabinets or cool granite countertops will benefit from this contrasting pop of color.
Of course, soft colors, like a pale blue or muted gray, are also options for a kitchen that is furnished with darker details, like cherry wood cabinets and surfaces. Colors in this palette will soften the look of the kitchen, rounding out the entire feel of the room.
If you would to stay with neutral hues when considering kitchen island color options, then you may want to play with colorful materials when choosing bar stools and other small details. After all, choosing the right colors is all about striking a balance.

I have CoolerMaster HAF X case, and I added few more fans to it, for a better cooling. Here they are, total of 8.
2x230mm - 0.40A @ 700RPM (19 dBA)2x200mm - 0.28A @ 700RPM (19 dBA)2x140mm - 0.14A @ 1000RPM (19 dBA)2x120mm - 0.15A @ 120RPM (19 dBA)
They all are 3pin connectors, so I used adapter 3pin to 4pin mulex (12). I connected them directly to 1 of the power supple 12v lines (I have 1200W PSU Antec) and they run at full speed and the noise is pretty annoying for my likings. So I decided to slow them down to minimize the noise, and I have been looking for LCD fan controller that can do the job.
I like this one: AeroCool Modern-V http://www.aerocool.us/peripheral/modernv.htm
It takes 1 4pin mulex connector, and gives you 4 3pin fan headers. Since I have 4 pairs of 2-exact same fans, I plan to use Y splitter in order to control 2 identical fans with 1 headers. However in the manual of the this controller it says that can support 0.5A / 6W per header. Manual - http://www.aerocool.us/images/peripheral/Modern-V/Modern-V-manual.jpg
So, theoretically if all fans are running at full speed (not planing to), then the 2x200mm fans will be barely over the limit, and the 2x230mm fans are like 65% more.
2x230mm - 0.40A = 0.80A X 12V = 9.60W
2x200mm - 0.28A = 0.56A X 12V = 6.72W
All that said, I did tried it and plunged both 230mm fans to 1 header and it works, it does the job although the specifications say it is not supported. Since the other 2 headers are not pushed to the limit (barely used), does that give the device some headroom? Can I keep using it like that or it will eventually burn out? Will the fans maybe burn out? Keep in mind that 230mm fan uses 0.40A at full load @700RPM, and I am running them like 400-600RPM. Since the controller is lowering the Amps given to the fans, does that make it OK to provide enough for both 230mm fans for example? Thanks and sorry for the link question, just wanted to explain myself better.
All their fan controllers use same power requirements, and haven't found any other one that can do the job better. Don't like knobs sticking out of my case aether. Any suggestions please! Thanks
It should work, If not plug the biggest draw fans directly into the mobo and use the fan controller in the Bios to control them. I Have the aerocool touch myself
"Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window."
G.Skill Ripjaws X 16gb PC2133
Antec P280
Corsair H100
Asus Blu-ray burner
Seasonic X650 PSU
Patriot Pyro 128gb SSD
I have an older motherboard (Intel D 975 XBX) which does support 2 3A and 2 1.5A fan headers, but haven't noticed any fan regulations in the BIOS. I will try and look, thanks for the suggestion. So, there should not be any issues of burning the fans or the controller this way?
as long as you keep it below the specs of the controller then your good. the fan control in the boise is usually under the system monitoring tab, then fan speeds
Yes I hooked up 1 fan directly into to mobo, I looked at BIOS and it shows true speed, that runs at 700RPM max. However I'm unable to change the speed of the fan, in the BIOS there is no way to do so. Is there a work around? I tried software "SpeedFan" which corectly detects the fan and the speed, but not sure how if at all I can change it to like 550-600RPM
It looks to be under Boot Configuration Menu and It looks the be the last option that you can change.
No such thing. Under BOOT configuration there is only which device to boot friest (/hdd, CD-ROM, floppy, network and ect...). You must be mistaken! :(

Daniel 5
Archaeology and historical records provide support for the accuracy of the biblical text of Daniel 5. Critics formerly debunked Daniel because the last king of Babylon was Nabodinus rather than Belshazzar. In the 19th century, archaeologists discovered Babylonian records that support the Bible. Nabodinus rejected the traditional Babylonian gods in favor of the moon god "Sin." He left Babylon and devoted himself to worshiping the moon god in ancient Haran and turned over functioning authority to his son Belshazzar.

text: Again it is not always up to the homeowner. The utilities have to deal with the cities,counties, and sometime even the state on where these cabinets,transformers are placed. Down here people wanted the power companies to place all of the overhead lines in the ground [because of hurricanes] not realizing that transformers had to go somewhere. Guess what?All of the utilities have to come down if they want the poles out. That means a lot of digging and placement of cabinets,pedestals,ect.. Several cities are also paying for part of the cost to bring down the lines. I agree it looks nicer that all of the overhead lines but people have to accept the fact that this things are placed to provide services to them. The engineers around here are using the 50' easements along the drainage ditches to place most of the cabinets but I know of several that are in people's back or side yard. They have moved several X-boxes out of some front yards to the cabinets in easements. People have to deal with a mess for a little while but it looks better in the end.--GO NOLES!!

The St. Louis Blues trounced the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-2 at Scottrade Center Saturday night for their 5th straight win, marking a franchise best start to the season at 29-7-5 through 41 games. The Jackets came in riding the success of a shutout in their last game but ran into a veritable buzzsaw of St. Louis offense backed once again by terrific goaltending from Brian Elliott, who stopped 22 of 24 shots and extending his personal home-winning streak (and team record) to 13 games. Patrik Berglund led the Blues offensive outburst with two goals, his first 2-goal game since March of last year.
Saturday night's tilt had a very auspicious start for the Blues as a weak transition game and some fluky bounces left them down 2-0 at the end of the 1st period. St. Louis looked a bit flat-footed on the first Jackets goal, unable to secure and clear the puck from their zone, and then a crazy bounce off traffic in front of Elliott sent the puck flipping high up over his head and behind him into the net on the second. Ells likely saw the original shot but lost sight of the puck after the deflection.
St. Louis regrouped during the intermission and came out with a vengeance, out-shooting Columbus 17-6 in the 2nd period and taking a 3-2 lead after Bergie's first of the night and additional tallies by Vladimir Sobotka and Maxim Lapierre. Lapierre's goal gave the Blues the lead for good at 17:29 as he showed a bit of rare power with the puck. His goal also gave the St. Louis defense five assists on the night, two by Kevin Shattenkirk.
The final 20-minutes were more of the same for the Blues as they scored three more times and finished the game out-shooting the Jackets 37-24. Bergie's 2nd of the night came just 14-seconds into the 3rd period courtesy of an eye-popping cross-ice feed from Vladi Tarasenko, who finished with 2-assists. Tarasenko fired the puck from the boards across the slot and a rushing Berglund masterfully tipped the puck past the helpless Curtis McElhinney for a 4-2 Blues lead.
Jaden Schwartz would score at 8:47, extending his personal best point streak to 8-games. He's now +23 this year, tied for #1 in the league. Alex Pietrangelo rounded out the onslaught of St. Louis goals with his first in 28-games. Both goals were assisted by TJ Oshie who now has 17 points in his last 13 homes games, and by David Backes in a welcome return for the Blues Captain.
St. Louis overcame another rough start and lit the lamp with high frequency once again missing their top scorer, Alexander Steen, who skated Saturday morning but hasn't yet been cleared to practice with the team after being sidelined with a concussion. With only Steen and Roman Polak still out the Blues are almost completely healthy again. Despite all their bumps and bruises, they have the most home wins in the Western Conference at 17 and added to their league-best Inter-conference record of 36-9-6 since the 2010-11 campaign.
Elliott was named the 2nd Star-of-the-Week in the NHL with a 3-0-0 record last week, a 1.00 goals-against average, .962 save percentage and one shutout. Starting back to back (to back) games while Jaroslav Halak recovers from an illness has really put Ells in a groove and has some fans, myself included, if perhaps Elliott is the #1 goaltender the Blues have been looking for. His poor performance in last season's playoffs can be written off as a fluke of the lockout shortened season.
This is a guy who at only age 28 has posted some incredible numbers wearing the Note, has been an All-Star, and been part of a Jennings Trophy winning tandem. From 2011-12 through 2012-13 I felt Ells was a better "relief pitcher" than a starter, but he has really established himself as a viable candidate to be The Guy (thanks to Kevin Wheeler of 101.1 ESPN for the thought.) Ells is 12-1-2 this season.
The Blues headed on the road after the game Saturday and will face-off in Edmonton tonight. As hot as St. Louis has been this season, the Oilers have been completely the opposite, colder than the Alberta clipper that has plunged the mercury below freezing over much of the US this past weekend, their poor play dropping them to the very bottom of the Western Conference standings with only 33 points. St. Louis blanked the Oilers 6-0 in their first meeting of the season back on December 21, also at Rexall Place and will look to continue their dominance, having won six of their last seven games against Edmonton.

(Buffalo, NY) Since the Second Vatican Council in the 1960's, the Roman Catholic mass has been said the same way.
Starting this weekend, all U.S. Roman Catholic Churches will now use a new version of the mass called the "Roman Missal - Third Edition."
The new mass changes many prayers by making them less conversational and more poetic.
In the Diocese of Buffalo, about 200 churches will be affected.
At 1500 pages, the new mass book is much larger than the previous one.
Parishioners will see several changes to common responses, for example, "And with your spirit," is taking the place of the old response, "And also with you."
Most of the changes will affect the priests, says Father Paul Seil, Pastor of Saint Bernadette Church in Orchard Park.
According to Fr. Czeslaw Krysa, Director of the Office of Worship for the Diocese of Buffalo, the change is "a globalization of the vernacular text which is the first time that we ever had this type of a challenge in Christianity."
The changes are being implemented in eleven English speaking countries.
Translations for other languages are expected to take more time.
Church officials say the new translations were done to be in stricter conformity with the actual literal translations of the Latin text.
