August 2011 COTM, World Vegetarian: Vegetables, Grains, and Dairy
Use this thread for discussion on these topics.
Green Bean Salad, p. 203.
Another quest of mine for a tasty side that can be served at room temperature along with simple summer main dishes. (In this dinner's case, oven-baked striped bass from the Legal Seafoods Cookbook.)
Anyway, this was very easy and flavorful. An onion cut into rings is sauteed in 1/4 cup olive oil with 4 finely-chopped garlic cloves. Then 1 pound fresh or canned tomatoes, also finely chopped, are added (I used a good quality diced canned tomatoes) and after the tomatoes break up (7-8 minutes) a pound of topped and tailed green beans, 1 tsp salt, and 1 cup water are added to the pan. All is brought to a boil, before covering the pan and simmering for 20 minutes or until beans are completely tender. The cover is then removed and the sauce is boiled down over higher heat till mostly reduced. A cup of Circassian Sauce (p.684) is folded in gently and the beans are served at room temperature or chilled. I didn't need to salt the final product much because the Circassian Sauce was both savory and sweet, and the tomatoes needed no pinch of sugar (which I sometimes feel is needed with canned tomatoes) for the same reason. All in all, a very pleasant, make-ahead recipe which could also function on an antipasti table.
This is not a dish for those who like their beans crisp-tender, but it is a very flavorful side and certainly easy. The beans weren't obnoxiously soft and they did hold their shape. The dish is especially good with the Circassian Sauce on p. 684 which is also very quick to make. I'll review this in the Sauces and Added Flavorings section of this COTM.
Green Beans w/ browned shallots (half recipe) p. 206
Nothing new here, but a reminder to me that sometimes less is more. It's too early for my garden yet, but fresh green beans are everywhere and this looked like a quick, uncomplicated recipe to make late on a Saturday. I often eat green beans with browned shallots or onions, but typically add thyme and sliced almonds. Boil green beans in salted water and shock in cold water to stop cooking and drain. Brown thinly sliced shallots in olive oil, then add beans until heated through and season with salt and pepper. I used 1 T of oil instead of the 1.5 called for and think I could use even less next time. The recipe says to serve them hot, but I did not mind munching on these at room temperature either. The Mr. ate these without resistance.
re: BigSal
Sounds delicious. I love munching on room temperature (leftover) green beans, so maybe I'll doube up the recipe. Our green beans have been incredibly good this year, so a nice simple preparation like this is perfect.
re: BigSal
Green Beans w/ browned shallots p. 206
I made a slightly modified version of this recipe. I added some mustard seed when the shallots were nearly done and fried until they popped. I had some freshly picked but slightly overgrown green beans, the kind that need a little extra cooking to be tender. So I microwaved them with a bit of water in the bowl, then dumped them into the fried shallots, water and all, and simmered until the beans were well-cooked and the water mostly evaporated. It was delicious! As much as I like quickly cooked beans, I can also appreciate long-simmered ones.
As MJ says in the intro, the fried shallot taste is surprisingly strong. The flavors of this dish reminded me of the iconic Thanksgiving green bean casserole with fried onions, but without the gloppy cream of mushroom soup. I'll definitely make this again, with either long or short cooked beans. Yum.
Penne with Zucchini and Basil
I made this for our national night out block party. It was easy and good, I would definitely make it again. It calls for a "good sized onion" and also gave the weight - my good sized onion was twice the weight called for, so I'm very glad she gave the weight! You saute the onion 5 minutes, add the zucchini, and then toss it with the pasta, basil, mint, and parmesan. Good weeknight, summer meal. (Needless to say, I didn't have penne. Or veggie broth, I just used pasta water).
re: sarahcooks
Penne with Zucchini and Basil, Pg 482 (Italy)
We made this last night and saracooks is right, "It was easy and good." So good in fact that G had 3 helpings..! I thought it was just OK and didn't finish my serving. But there's nothing wrong with the recipe.
I used the recommended "good-sized onion", white in my case... 3 medium sized zucchini, and Barilla penne. However, I used 1/4 cup chicken broth instead of vegetable stock or water. So much for vegetarian. We also included 1 tspn crushed red pepper flakes.
Cook the onion, add the zucchini... cook the pasta and toss it with the zucchini, herbs and cheese. Eesy peasy. I heated up a combination of leftover green beans and grilled potatoes to serve as a side dish.
re: sarahcooks
Penne with zucchini and basil p.382 in my British edition
Not much to add to above two posts. This was a good, fast pasta dish. I used summer squash rather than zucchini. The mint and basil added at the end gave it a fresh, summery flavor.
re: sarahcooks
Penne with Zucchini and Basil
Made this for dinner tonight, smaller portions became a side dish for grilled pork chops. I used a bit of demi glace instead of vegetable, stock, as we were clearly not having a vegetarian dinner. I would call this an adequate side. The combination of the basil and mint was refreshing and summery, but I wouldn't call it great. I think it might be a nice side with grilled lamb, however. That's probably just the old lamb and mint combination calling me from my childhood.
Picture of the meal here (don't look if you are a strict vegetarian!):
Spanish-Style Grilled Zucchini p. 296
Rather than cooking this on la plancha (cast iron griddle), we cooked this on our grill. Zucchini (we used a combination of zucchini and summer squash) is cut into 1/4" slices, cook a couple minutes per side, season with salt and dribble Spanish-Style Garlic and Parsley flavored olive oil (oil and chopped garlic is simmered for 5 seconds, when the oil cools, salt and chopped parsley is added). Another simple and repeatable recipe. The garlic oil adds a nice touch. We also used the flavored oil for our grilled bread.
Spanish-style Grilled Portobello Mushrooms p. 248
We also chose to grill this rather than cook it a la plancha. Grill portobello, season with salt, dribble with the flavored oil and garnish with parsley. Quick and easy.
re: BigSal
Spanish-Style Grilled Zucchini, p. 296
I'm always interested in grilled recipes that I can duplicate in my non-grill kitchen, and this one works fine with a cast-iron skillet. I also liked the Spanish-Style Garlic and Parsley-flavored Oil with it (p. 665) , which Big Sal has described very well above. The green and yellow summer squash browned and tenderized nicely in my hot pan in 4 minutes. With the oil on hand, this could go together very quickly! Be ready to serve with dispatch, however--I noticed that the squash softened up quickly as it waited to be served.
Corn with Ginger, page 171.
I made this dish as a side to grilled salmon. The preparation begins by heating peanut oil, to which cumin seeds are added and sizzled. Then chopped ginger goes in, followed by chopped tomatoes. After the tomatoes are slightly reduced, a bit of salt and sugar are added, along with corn kernels, and chopped chiles (optional, but I used them). When the corn is done, chopped cilantro is tossed into the mix.
I used a green heirloom tomato along with the red tomato, and I used a combination of jalapeno, serano, and yellow chiles, small amounts of each.
MJ states this recipe hails from India, but I think it would be a compatible side with many different entrees. Simple dish, bright and summery, lovely flavors. It could be made with frozen corn also, for a year around side dish.
re: L.Nightshade
Sounds delicious -- lovely bowl, BTW.
re: pikawicca
Thank you pikawicca, it was delicious.
I know that food photographs better on white plates, but I get bored with them sometimes!
re: L.Nightshade
I love this as a different kind of "fried corn," which the DH makes frequently with less intense flavors. This sounds delicious.
re: L.Nightshade
Corn with Ginger, p. 171.
I also made this tonight as a side with Vietnamese Braised Scallops ("All About Braising" by Molly Stevens.) I mention this because LNightshade suggests that this would be compatible with many different entrees, and indeed it is. LNightshade has described it well: a relatively simple salad/side dish with a lot of flavor and freshness, thanks to the ginger and cilantro. I also used the optional "fresh hot green chile" (a jalapeno in my case) and it was just right. I even used good canned diced tomatoes since my home-grown tomatoes are still quite green ;-( and to my taste and my guests, this was fine. I used fresh-grated corn off the ear, and it was sublime.
re: L.Nightshade
Wow, with two positive reviews, this is going on my to-try list. Thanks for mentioning it. Would have passed it by.
re: LulusMom
Sweetcorn with ginger p.66 in British edition
Isn't it funny how so many of us are choosing the same recipes even with 638 recipes in the book? Of course that is one of the benefits of COTM - read someone else's glowing review and that recipe is suddenly so much more appealing.
I thought this was a great, quick and easy side, though actually I used it as a pasta sauce. I had 3 lovely ripe tomatoes and a couple of ears of corn and it all came together in 15 minutes. It had nice flavor nuances from the cumin, ginger and cilantro. Definitely one for regular rotation.
re: JaneEYB
Are you in the UK Jane? I notice that British recipes use the term "sweetcorn." I was wondering if that term is used for any corn, or if it implies a certain type of corn.
re: L.Nightshade
Sweetcorn is corn on the cob, or more usually, off the cob in the form of tinned or frozen kernels.
re: L.Nightshade
Corn terminology in the UK is bewildering: "Corn" means all grains (therefore, a corn-fed horse is fed grain of some kind, possibly just oats.) Corn generally, particularly field corn fed to animals, is "maize." Corn that people eat is "sweetcorn."
re: pikawicca
That is a helpful clarification. I didn't understand greedygirl's explanation of sweetcorn being corn from the cob. Isn't all corn from a cob? But you've put it into a context that makes sense. Thanks.

Interpretive Handbook
8363 :
Aldolase, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Aldolase is necessary for glycolysis in muscle as a "rapid response" pathway for production of adenosine triphosphate, independent of tissue oxygen.
Aldolase catalyses the conversion of fructose 1,6-diphosphate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, an important reaction in the glycolytic breakdown of glucose to lactate in muscle.
Aldolase is a tetramer whose primary structure depends upon the tissue from which it was synthesized (liver, muscle, brain). The brain form of aldolase has, because of its preponderance in white cells, been suggested to be a leukemia marker, but this is not confirmed.
Elevated values are found in muscle diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and limb-girdle dystrophy.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detection of muscle disease
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The highest levels of aldolase are found in progressive (Duchenne) muscular dystrophy. Lesser elevations are found in dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and limb-girdle dystrophy. In dystrophic conditions causing hyperaldolasemia, the increase in aldolase becomes less dramatic as muscle mass decreases.
Reference (normal) values are observed in polio, myasthenia gravis, and multiple sclerosis.
Aldolase increases in myocardial infarction in a time pattern similar to the aspartate aminotransferase.
Increases are also associated with acute viral hepatitis, but levels are normal or slightly elevated in chronic hepatitis, portal cirrhosis, and obstructive jaundice.
Elevations may also be seen with gangrene, prostate tumors, trichinosis, some carcinomas metastatic to the liver, some chronic leukemias, some blood dyscrasias, and delirium tremens.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-16 years: <14.5 U/L
> or =17 years: <7.7 U/L

Neonicotinoid pesticides (or neonics) continue to gain notoriety as a driving factor in declining bee populations. But a mounting body of evidence also shows that neonics aren't the only class of pesticides harming these critical pollinators.
A report released this week — by researchers from Penn State and the University of Florida — helps build a case that several pesticides commonly found in hives kill bee larvae.
Honey bees are up against a lot these days, no thanks to a lack of action from EPA. And new data released today adds to the growing list of concerns for pollinators: home garden plants that come pre-treated with bee-harming pesticides.
In a pilot study released today by the Pesticide Research Institute and Friends of the Earth, the groups tested plants from major home garden stores across the country, and found that more than half of the samples contained pesticides at levels shown to harm or kill bees.
With other options exhausted over the past two years, beekeepers and partner organizations are now suing EPA to protect pollinators. We've filed over a million signatures from concerned individuals, a legal petition and a notice of intent to sue. And all to little avail. Now we're upping the ante.
There's too much at stake for EPA to stay stuck. Bees are in trouble, and they're vital to our food system and our agricultural economy. They're responsible for pollinating one in three bites of food we eat, including 95 types of fruits and nuts in North America. And commercial beekeepers report that their industry is on the verge of collapse.
No farmer in their right mind wants to poison pollinators. When I spoke with one Iowa corn farmer in January and told him about the upcoming release of a Purdue study confirming corn as a major neonicotinoid exposure route for bees, his face dropped with worn exasperation. He looked down for a moment, sighed and said, "You know, I held out for years on buying them GE seeds, but now I can't get conventional seeds anymore. They just don't carry 'em."
This leaves us with two questions: 1) What do GE seeds have to do with neonicotinoids and bees? and 2) How can an Iowa corn farmer find himself feeling unable to farm without poisoning pollinators? In other words, where did U.S. corn cultivation go wrong?
The online journal PLoS One released two bee studies last week: one on an old parasite newly found in honey bees, the other confirming that bees are being poisoned by the controversial pesticide clothianidin in and around the 88 million acres of U.S. countryside planted with treated corn seeds.

This past school year a North Country Junior High Girls Golf Club was created. Starting with an organizational meeting in November that was coordinated by John Gunn, physical education teacher at NCUJH, and Brian Hampton, the head varsity girls' golf coach of North Country Union High School.
The duo discussed the program with a number of girls interested in starting the club. In the spring three girls, 7th graders Katie Goulet, Dehlia Wright, and Dasha Plotnikov, followed up on the initial meeting by joining the program.
The 14-U O.E.C. Lightning, one of the several local traveling baseball teams in the area, opened their season Thursday night in Coaticook, QC defeating a very good Coaticook big bill 15-U team 6-5.
Yes, they played a team that is made up of players who are at least a year older, but it did not matter as the Lightning dropped Coaticook's record from 8-0 to 8-1.
A lot of fresh faces as well returning veterans from last year came together and played a solid game for the Lighting, with timely hitting, good pitching and great defense.
The North Country Union High School Girls Golf team wrapped up their season with a very respectable fourth place finish at the Division I State Finals at the Proctor Pittsford Country Club on Tuesday.
The best two out of three scores are tallied for each team in the tournament. The NCU team was represented by seniors Bailey Walker and Eilish Muir, and sophomore Paige Gagnon.
ON THE ROADS OF VERMONT–When I called Matt Morin to ask him how he is doing and what he is doing in order to get ready for today's VPA High School State Championships in Middlebury, I caught him, along with his coach Sylvain Gagnon and teammate Carl Oberg traveling the cell phone service challenged roads of the Green Mountain State.
After several episodes of "Hello... Hello.. can you hear me?," I was finally able to talk to both Matt and his coach about today's tournament.
BURLINGTON–The conditions at the Vermont State Division I Track Field Championships were anything but ideal, but that did not stop the North Country Falcons from achieving success at the meet.
The boys team brought home two first place finishes at the event, the first one coming from Jason Webster, whose 134 foot throw in the discus propelled him six feet past Brattleboro's Andy Hale for his second consecutive state title.
"Of course I am ecstatic to come back and defend my title. It was one of those things that I worried about all season, but coach told me to relax and do what you do.
NEWPORT–Coming into the opening round of the play-offs, the North Country boys tennis team was ranked fourth overall in Division I.
Their opponent, Champlain Valley was slated as the thirteenth seed.
How very misleading these numbers turned out to be.
The Falcons came out, gave everything they had, but still ended up on the losing end of things, falling 6-1 to bow out of the opening round of the play-offs.
LYNDON– It didn't take long for Lyndon Institute to set the tone.
After roping an inside-the-park home run in the game's first at bat, No. 3 Lyndon Institute cruised to a 15-4 victory over 14th-seeded Lake Region in high school girls softball Division II playdowns Wednesday afternoon.
The Vikings' (14-3) early dominance earned them a 9-0 lead after the first two innings, a comfortable margin for a veteran club looking to return to the state championship game after falling in that contest a year ago.
JERICHO–After performing well in her final two regular season starts, coach Leslie Dunn opted to go with Taylor Blake out of the shute for the Falcons opening round game against Mount Mansfield.
"She was great against Essex and MVU, so I figured we might as well go with her as she performs much better as a starter than as a reliever," said Dunn.
Blake gave it her all, but MMU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first, so the coach brought in the ever-reliable Kayla Descheneau mid-way through the second to finish out the contest.
WATERBURY–Harwood was the best team while Matt Morin of Lake Region was the top individual at the Division II sectionals on Wednesday.
Morin shot a 1 over 73 to earn the win.
The highlight of Morin's round was a 17th hole Eagle to pull ahead of Harwood's Brooks Curran who finished 2nd with a very nice 76.
Another Lake Region score of note was Carl Oberg's very respectable 88.
It was not quite good enough to send him to States as an individual but still a very good effort on his part.
Team Results were as follows:
Harwood 1st with a total of 326.
Lyndon Institute 2nd with total of 343.
ORLEANS–In their final regular season tune-up, the Lady Rangers dropped a tough one to the Richford Rockets 15-3.
"We spanked every ball we hit, but gave up seven unearned runs in two innings," said coach Matt Tinker. "We get behind by five or six runs and the girls start to push too hard and instead of getting anything we get nothing."
After a 1-2-3 top of the first, Lake Region jumped out to 1-0 lead as Kayla Royer singled and came around to score the game's first run.

This conversation is closed.
If we address the stress that Kelly speaks of we can move towards my idea of a "Healthy Mind = Healthy Body" theory of living.
Millions of Americans are obese--not just carrying a few extra pounds, but obese to morbidly obese. Having lived this myself for 15 years of my life I feel that I can speak to this point, that being, our obesity is not simply about calories in vs calories out and nor is is just about the pounds. The weight we carry is more than just fat. If we start with the stress that Kelly speaks of--which many also struggle with as the cause of their weight gain--we can begin to live a happier, healthier, longer and more sustainable life.
Our "more convenient way of living" society indirectly discourages actually dealing with our lives and we (over time) carry the weight of this with us over the years. By taking a similar approach to Kelly's, in regards to "friending" stress, we could start to shed the weight and the unhealthy habits that lead to our impulse eating that contributes to our weight gain.

The results gave the reason being a closely knit community helping one another in every difficulty from loosing a job, to death in the family. The lesson here is that collective oriented cultures do well, The western culture of individualism is not conducive to resilience but dependency and victimization of ourselves and others.Our bodies were created to heal themselves but what promotes the healing is the love we show to one another...strangers or friends and family.
To change the world we need to change how we see the world.
Abundance rather than scarcity, thriving rather then survival and empowered rather than victimized.
Live, Love and laugh a lot
Sep 10 2013: Hi Lea,
This is a good point that you bring up. This does factor into a healthy lifestyle and in my point/idea of "Healthy Mind = Healthy Body" through your point of "...being a closely knit community helping one another in every difficulty from loosing a job, to death in the family." This type of community/environment nourishes our human need to grieve, celebrate, etc. that is becoming less common in our society today. This is ironic in my opinion. I'm not blaming technology but the (in my mind) evolution of technology would be to bring us closer together but in reality it's done just the opposite. If we embrace our technological advances to 'naturally' expand globalization then I feel that this is helpful. But learning how to integrate the two ways of living is where, I think our Western world (as you call it) is stuck. I think it's great that I can talk to my cousins in Italy via Skype, but I couldn't provide for them the comfort and love that they needed when they lost my cousin (their sister/daughter) to cancer before her 40th birthday. There is where the community that you mention comes into play. It's important; if we can't deal then we don't heal.
lea cox
Sep 10 2013: Hello Andrea, interesting you mentioned Italy, the town in PA was full of Italians and they were a closely knit community partly because they shared the same culture but mostly because of the kind of culture it was. Eventually children left town to work and become afflictied like everyone else by the individualistic way of thinking.

I have debated as you are on the tech influence and when I sit on coffee shop each is looking at their gadgets, the old way of meeting and talking only exist in some places where older people meet regularly. I have a tendency to engage people in conversations where ever I am and sometime it works.Keep trying and bring your smile. I have family in Italy also. Brothers and sisters and need to visit soon or move there.
Regarding cancer inform your relatives to watch Doyle I believe , a Ted talk on cancer. fantastic new wave energy cure.. Check it out.
Eric Tippelt
Sep 7 2013: I have recently investigated a more "Spiritual" view towards life. The simplified version is that we create our own reality by how we think and act. I find it amazing that science then comes along and does a study that supports this belief. What I took out of the talk was, that if you believe that Stress is not harmful to you, that it just makes you more able to handle stressful situations, that is how it manifests itself in your body. Conversely, if you think that stress is harmful, then that is what you get.
- +2
Is that not the same as "creating your own reality"??? As far as it applies to weight, I agree with Andrea. I was told that much of my stress lead to carrying a few extra pounds. Now that I deal with stress differently, I have actually lost weight, and have decreased my appetite. Especially for foods that are not good for you. Candy, Soda, and Chips.
It is interesting that stress leads us to want human contact. Is that why face book and twitter are now more popular, as we think we are mores stressed out??
Sep 10 2013: Eric,
Great points! And congrats on the healthy life you are living!
I too have done work here; my Masters thesis with a Collaborative Inquiry group was focused on my theory of "Healthy Mind = Healthy Bpdy". I appreciated Kelly's TEDTalk because she addressed one common factor of our Mind that hinders many of us in living a healthy and present life. Stress seems to be a very common ailment for many of the Western world and we tend to 'treat' with a band-aid more than actually address the cause and change its effect.
There is a lot of science behind the chemical mind/body cause and effect--as you mentioned sweets were a trigger for you. I won't go into detail (for one, science isn't my forte), but I wanted to address your point for those that don't know--it has been scientifically backed.
Thank you for your post and contributing to this dialogue!

Your "Healthy Mind = Healthy Body" is working.
But it goes too slowly
because our brain has not created enough data to make it yet.
Our brain has enough data created already for "stress".
Sep 10 2013: Slow is ok though! Slow can often lead to being more sustainable/lasting change. Shock/quick results don't necessarily result in long lasting or permanent change.
We don't want to be a yo-yo nation, the "nirvana" goal would be (in my opinion) be sustainable change.
With our technology driven age we seem to be so focused on quick and convenient but that's not what life is..well it could be if that's what you choose it to be.

"Slow is ok"!
"Slow" meets the pace of our instincts.
It gives us real happiness
(the feeling of things being a-step-better for keeping our DNA alive).
"Quick" doesn't meet the pace.
It gives us invalid (harmful) happiness
(invalid happiness wastes about 90% of our resources).Sep 12 2013: Could the brain not plasticize to better handle stress? After all, adults have some plasticity in their heads?

Sep 9 2013: Andrea, this looks like an interesting conversation, but some of us, for whatever reason, might not want to watch the video. Any chance you'd give us a synopsis of what it says?
- +1
I know the idea if life gives you lemons, make lemonade has come up before on TED. Is it something like that?
How is it that a more convenient way of living discourages dealing with our lives? For example, having a car makes life more convenient, I can't see how it discourages one from dealing with one's life, although it might make one exercise less.
Sep 10 2013: Hi Greg,
Understood. Kelly's point was that living a life of trying to avoid stress can have just as detrimental of an impact (negatively) on our bodies as stress itself does. Her idea/point is learning how to manage and deal with stress is more healthy than trying to avoid it. That's the cut and dry version of her TEDtalk, I don't think it does it justice but you get the point right?
To your point of "... a more convenient way of living discourages dealing with our lives?" I don't think that convenience is necessarily the "enemy" here. But if we get too caught up in our modern day, tech age of quick/fast and convenient we can often end up living an unhealthier life--our food choices, lack of physical activity, atc. I'm not that old myself--well I like to think that 30 something is still on the younger end--but I'm shocked when I see a family of four (two kids and two adults) out to dinner and no one is conversing with each other because they are all on their "smart devices" instead. How does this impact health you ask? Well back to my healthy mind point--it's all systemic and I'm keeping it short since you requested a synopsis of Kelly's--if we are unable to effectively communicate with each other (face to face) this can lead to emotional stressors that impact our bodies and our food choices. Which end up to unhealthy living. I'm thinking based on the threads here I need to go more indepth on my "Healthy Mind = Healthy Body" point! I'll keep a synopsis in mind as well for those who seek convenience ;)
Sep 11 2013: yeah, technically I should watch the video, but I'd rather talk to you, Andrea. Well, I don't really know whether it's better to accept stress or try to reduce it, I would think you can do both, accept that you have some as you try to reduce it. But I'm not sure how you're thinking about stress. For example, I've struggled with noise from the supermarket loading dock across the street for years. I've had many talks with staff at the market about the noise and sometimes the noise has been reduced. I'm thinking for many people it would be stressful to complain to supermarket staff about dock noise, so they avoid complaining and just live with the noise despite the fact they dislike it. But the truth is they still have stress, the stress they're living with now is the stress listening to the noise puts on them. But that is a slightly different kind of stress from the stress of talking to the staff. I don't really understand people who don't complain, who just live with things they don't like. Do you? Is any of this relevant to your conversation?
I don't know if convenience really helps one avoid stress. If you went back two hundred years, where people were washing their clothes in a tub over a wood fire, I still think many people would encounter situations they didn't like and just settle, not complain, avoid the stress of what some call "making waves."Sep 8 2013: I Agree that we need to stop overeating, but we also need to not have as much chaos in our lives. I believe that this is one reason for the stress we experience, and I think we need to have a plan ahead type of schedule where we do that--plan ahead for the probable chaosity in our lives. That way, if we have a backup plan like this, we hopefully won't be so stressed out. We always need to think of this backup plan like if you were going to a birthday party, and there was a fire, which broke out in the restaurant at some point. What would you do? You would, of course, plan for the birthday party, but when the fire started, you would have a premapped version of the restaurant, so you'd know where all the exits for emergencies were. As the fire started and, but hopefully not, came into the room you were partying in, you could use the map of that room to get everyone out safely. We also need to be calm in the face of really stressful situations. Maybe I'm just talking nonsense here, but I believe panic attacks are not the way to go. What do you think of all this?
Kara Aharon
Sep 9 2013: Constantly planning for disaster can also cause stress. If every time we enter a building we begin looking for emergency exits that makes it very difficult to relax.

I understood the message in Kelly's talk differently - when a stressful situation occurs, use your body's natural reaction to help you deal with it.
And what Andrea seems to be telling me is that next time I panic I should take a deep breath and think instead of reaching for chocolate.
Sep 12 2013: I agree that we should think of what to do instead of reaching for food to quell the stressors in our lives. This is not healthy!Sep 10 2013: Hi Ashleigh and Kara,
Great points from you both! I like the dialogue that's started here because we see how Kelly's one talk is perceived differently!
You bring up a good point about being proactive and I agree. As a self labelled OCP (obessive compulsive personality) I naturally lean that way--I enjoy planning ahead! But we can't plan for everything in life or in some cases planning takes away from living in the present moment. Here's my example. One of my first "aha moments" was when my Mom's cancer took a turn for the worst. I was visibly distraught. Someone I worked with and had a good working relationship with at the time tried to comfort me. In so many words, he said that I should start planning for my Mom's funeral. I'm not saying he wasn't accurate of that being in the near future. But how was planning for my Mom's funeral going to better my situation? If anything I'd probably have regretted not making the most of the time I had left with my Mom physically present in my life. Living life in the present is part of my "Healthy Mind = Healthy Body" theory. It aids in our reaction of turning to food for comfort and allows us to really understand and feel what is going on with/in our body.
I couldn't tell you not to turn to chocolate--as a living breathing female I've still turned to chocolate on some days. More often than not, those are days I haven't been listening to the needs of my body and instead get stuck in the negative cycle in my head--negative self talk is so detrimental for me! But you are on track in the idea I'm trying to convey. What might you do instead of turning to chocolate for comfort? We are all different so the answer is right in accordance to the individual. Part of getting to that answer is dealing with and facing whatever has been in our "closet" this whole time. When I was working on myself I was having memories of things I'd barely remembered. My weight was more than LBS.Sep 6 2013: I'm looking for systemic methods - things that operate at the tribal level that influence "healthy mind".
Sep 10 2013: Algi,
I appreciate you need for systemic methods. I've actually studied in this. But I'd like clarification on what you mean by "...things that operate at the tribal level that influence "healthy mind". "? What do you define/mean when you say "tribal level"?
Thank you!Sep 6 2013: Just wahat I see here now suggests there are many dimensions to this problem beyond what the speaker discussed.
Sep 10 2013: Hi George,
You are right, there are "many dimensions to this problem." Part of the movement towards improving our societal obesity issue is having the discussion. Of course to yield results we need to follow that up with action supporting our discussions. My point in posting Kelly's TEDTalk is that is begins to address the non food/calories aspects to healthy living. Note that I use the term "healthy living" versus weight loss. Yes, this is the need for many of us but the point isn't to be in a loss mode our entire lives. For those battling with weight now, it's about getting started and how to keep it going. For others, who are in a maintenance mode, it's about knowing triggers and how to deal with them when they arise. What I've found is that these "triggers" are mentally rooted/driven and can be managed if we learn how to so they don't result in a destructive result via food or inactivity. Does this make sense? This is systemic and you're right in that there are many dimensions to all this and these systems have loops that yield different results.
Sep 11 2013: Good points.
Mitch SMith
Sep 6 2013: Hi Andrea,

I agree. But it's important to know that general day-to-day transitory stressors are not the same as chronic systemic stressors.
So .. let's focus on the transitory stressor. I have found it to be an effective strategy to take a deep breath and remind myself that it's a challenge that I am equal to - and that the difficulties encountered will make me stronger. It also helps to practice smiling before entering a stressful environment.
But some environments develop that actively erode such positive attitudes - one needs only so many lessons of humiliation to learn that the "mr nice guy" approach will not work. And then Mr Nice guy becomes another abusive component in the system. This is very common in hierarchies (most notably - families and workplaces).
I agree that personal matters of "choice" are effective for the individual, but I do not agree that the range of choices is available for every individual - particularly if that individual is very young. That range of choices is dictated by the social environment.
So it is a balance and a paradox - to have a healthy social environment you need healthy individuals; to have healthy individuals you need a healthy social environment. One cannot assume that the whole thing can be balanced by pushing the whole task to single individuals.
Simply saying "stress is my friend" will not change the system. It might help a little, but if the underlying system is not also taking on stress as a functional component, then the individual will be ultimately defeated. And that defeat will be a hard one.
I suspect that the size of the social group has an important influence on this. One can be strong and win-out in a small group, but in a large group, the task will usually be beyond any single individual. In large groups, the only winners will be obsessive personalities. In very large groups, winning requires sociopathy/psychopathy. THese obsessive personality types seem guaranteed to produce chronic stress, not a friend
Sep 6 2013: I agree with you, Mitch, that people's environments expose them to completely different amounts of stress. Some people are overwhelmed by stress in situations others can easily handle calmly. Other environments, such as involuntary participation in permanently hostile and abusive situations are a different story.
Of course people find different ways of surviving or coping, but not all stress should be considered a friend. Bullying is discussed here often, but schools should intervene to create a culture averse to bullying rather than relying on the victims, for example, to consider such stress a friend.
Sep 6 2013: It's certainly complex.
I note that there are some hanging shingles advertising "amygdala management" therapies.
Hey ho - the oxytocin correlate with stress is a new one to me - .. can you cite any recent papers on it?
I'm looking for systemic methods - things that operate at the tribal level that influence "healthy mind".
Sapolsky's baboons are the only real breakthrough I've seen in years - but all that illustrates is several stable social modes. If they exist, they will have some environmental/adaptive value - the question is: What operates to latch-up social modes beyond their use-by date .. and how can such inappropriate latch-ups be re-set? (we can't always get a dumpster full of tuberculosis to do the trick ;)
Sep 6 2013: Here is a link to a recent scientific paper: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3327158/Sep 6 2013: Thanks Fritzie - got it!
The paper has some good references that I'll follow-up.
Definitely 2 distinct types of stress response .. interesting how the "perceptional" factor modulates between the 2.
I think McGonigal should have underlined the pre-existing presence of oxytocin as a factor in perception. The talk gave me the impression that there was a co-expressive factor in stress .. which seemed counter-intuitive.
Once again, there is a strong socio-systemic component to perceptional precursors to stress.
Grooming rituals might be one avenue to explore .. but since we are not baboons, attitudes to public displays of affection might be adjusted for the same result. This could be achieved via the mainstream media in lieu of pharmaceutical exploitation.
Pre-existing "loneliness" states might not be so easily addressed .. I'd assume such states would have early childhood factors.
The individual choice option might have some affect, but I doubt if those already suffering stress related chronic depression will respond.
My suspicion is that no one recovers from these states without external social intervention - e.g. meeting someone who goes out of their way to be supportive/affectionate.
So that might be another avenue for general mind/body/community improvement .. i.e. promotion of camaraderie .. it's sounding suspiciously like the neuro-biological version of the "sermon on the mount" ;) .. would that be confirmation bias?
Sep 6 2013: I would guess that chronic depression, for example, is not simply a linear progression from normal depression and that various manifestations and potential interventions do not scale linearly. The same would be true, I think, for stress. The underlying model likely involves ballooning after crossing a threshold.
As I have no Christian heritage, I do not follow the reference to the sermon on the mount.Sep 7 2013: I agree with the non-linear observation. This would likely be the dynamic along which systemic "latching" occurs - at many levels. The thing about chaotic systems is that one cannot know which part of the "fluff" you are in - there are many points of stability, (cyclic or static), but the intervals are chaotic with different sensitivities. Cyclic stabilities are present both before and after the point of accumulation - this makes it a bit intractable if you don't know the primary driver(s).
If we assume there are multiple drivers, each with non-linear characteristics, then the task is to identify each driver. Once that is done, you can look at how/when the system passes into chaos by measuring the driver.
The "sermon on the mount" is in the book of Mathew (new testament) - it deals with social attitude engineering and is likely a good starting place for identifying default tribal system components. Mind you, it is probably a long way out of date. It seems to acknowledge the drivers - and gives tips for interrupting potential overloads. It also has a bit about loaves and fishes .. I assume that is some kind of memory trick .. most miracles in the book seem to accompany key points .. they serve as strong index associations. Very clever authors.Sep 23 2013: I agree with Kelly that we should stop demonizing stress. I truly believe stress is being more and more over-hyped these days.
However, in my opinion this is easier said than done. How can we, as simple human beings expect ourselves to be (emotionally) strong enough to resist each and every stressful factor in our lives, whether internal or external?
Correct me if I'm wrong but Isn't this somehow like giving people tips to resist the temptation of adultery and expect everyone to ignore sexual temptations during their whole existence? Or write a handbook for drug addicts and expect them to stay away from drugs. And so on... We could turn this world into a true paradise...wouldn't we?
I really appreciate her good intentions and I actually find the idea pretty interesting but I do not believe we can program ourselves to "be and stay positive", no matter how. After all, we are no machines. We are just made of flesh and blood.
Thank you all for your comments and your thoughts. Very interesting subject!

I don't like any of the WRs at 13. The Combine could change things though. It's either a CB we really like or trade down.
Omegas' got ir right. We need a new runningback somewhere in the mix.
DB. This draft is very thin at DB, if you really need one, you need to take one of the top prospects.
Who I'd take at 13 depends on what we do with free agency and who's on the board. If we get a guy like Wallace in free agency then I'd go DE or corner depending on who's there. The draft seems deeper at DE than at corner this year so if a real good corner is there then is hard to pass but I don't see a corner worth taking at 13 other than the one that will probably be gone top 10. So I'd live the DE from FSU but he might be gone already. The other guy from Oregon might be there(can't remember his name now).If JI is still in charge we might draft a T or a guard tho....lol
Ozzy rules!!
Pass rushing defensive end. Get the #1 WR in free agency.
I would love to go WR, TE, WR. I'm sticking with Keenan Allen in the first.
Ballhawk safety opposite Jones anyone?
It Depends.. If we are trying to get a WR via FA.. then Secondary

I thought that this would be a good time to find out what everyone is reading or wants to read. Being close to Christmas there could possibly be gift ideas that arise or just reading material for the deerstand. Yes, the deerstand; where I grew up deer hunting consisted of sitting in sub-zero temperatures waiting for the same doe and fawn to make an appearance at the pile of frozen produce stacked up fifty yards downrange on the edge of the cedar swamp. This activity made watching paint dry seem like a sunday afternoon nascar race and therefore, I spent a lot of time reading about actual hunting!
Here goes... Twilight, Hunger Gam... gotcha! Seriously, let 'er rip!

There is a place warriors can accept, or try to forget, concerns of combat they�ve carried for years. Memories of guilt or guns. Lifeless bodies. Even a veteran�s own sometimes indescribable pain.
Rather than dress blues or cammies, they sport sweats and tank tops. Unroll thin, spongy floor mats. Inhale purposefully, some noticing their ribcages rise and fall. Stretch. Bend. Just be still — which can be the hardest thing to do.
These sessions, offered through Patuxent River Naval Air Station and the Yoga Warriors International program, will be offered at the Energy Zone on base Tuesday evenings at 4:15 through much of this winter.
Yoga Warriors is based in Massachusetts and offered worldwide.
During the sessions, as participants continue with their warmups, instructor Susan Grier breaks the silence with poems and affirmations to help ease minds and hopefully comfort souls of participants who suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder and other strains resulting from military service.
�Do not fight the dark. Just turn on the light,� Grier said this week. �Turn on the goodness that you are.�
The participants keep their composure while music booms from an aerobics class down the hall. They continue their poses, planting their feet and standing tall and strong like mountains. Or well rooted as trees. Or poised and alert as warriors. A pose called the pigeon, Grier said, helps stretch the hips, a place where people tend to hold a lot of tension physically, and even from �old emotional baggage.�
With the poses they affirm, slowly, �I feel steady and calm.�
Or, �I grow from strong roots� ... �I accept the ups and downs of life� ... �I safely release anger to open my heart� ... �I am a warrior with inner strength.�
Katie, the only participant in this Tuesday�s class, got one-on-one attention. A gentle press on her lower back to go deeper into a stretch. Uninterrupted discussion with the instructor.
She didn�t want her last name used, she said, because of the stigma associated with people suffering from any mental health issue. �People hear that you have PTSD or that you�re seeing a therapist, and they automatically assume that you need to be on lithium and in a padded room,� she said.
She said she had been abused in a past relationship and she�s suffered injuries through her work for eight years as a medic in the Air Force, �carrying fat guys around,� she said.
With PTSD, she has to deal with the stress that comes with visiting new places, or meeting new people. Anxiety. Depression. Memory problems. Anything that makes her feel out of control of what�s happening around her. But this class has helped.
�Once you find out about it,� Katie said, �you can either do the work, or never leave the house.�
Now, she gets out of the house more often, socializes, runs errands, gets some exercise, and ultimately, feels better as time passes.
That�s what Grier was aiming for. She�s a yoga instructor in St. Mary�s County and teaches various courses, not only focusing on service members.
But she trained with all her energy to become a Yoga Warriors instructor, Grier said. �I just wanted to give back.�

There's one deficit-reduction idea in Washington that sounds like a no-brainer. It's a single tweak that could raise about $72 billion in tax revenue and cut spending by about $145 billion through 2021, according to the Congressional Budget Office's 2011 calculations. It could be enacted quickly, and would ramp up so slowly that it could be 10 years before anyone notices they've been hit by both a tax increase and a benefit cut.
But in Washington, no solution is ever that simple—particularly when it involves Social Security. Tying parts of the tax code and certain federal benefit programs to a new consumption metric, called the "chained CPI," is an idea that almost everyone supports in theory but hardly anyone is willing to risk in practice.
"It's a more accurate cost-of-living adjustment, and that certainly recommends it," said Jared Bernstein, a former White House adviser and a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. But "it's a benefit cut, and it's a benefit cut that grows as you age, because the more you age, the more the difference compounds over time," he said.
Switching to the chained CPI is a mainstay of deficit-reduction recommendations, and President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner floated the idea during the 2011 debt-ceiling negotiations. It's unclear, though, whether the switch will gain much traction this time around.
Here's how the new metric would save money: Social Security, federal pensions, and military and veterans' benefits are indexed to rise each year with inflation; so are tax brackets, exemptions, deductions, and credits. But experts say the consumer price index the government currently uses overstates how rising prices affect household spending.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has come up with a more accurate measure, which accounts for consumers' tendency to switch to cheaper categories of products when prices rise. Rather than looking at a fixed set of goods—as the standard formula does—the new measure looks at how the set of goods changes, and then "chains" two consecutive months of consumption data together.
The chained CPI rises a little more slowly than the current measure. So if the chained CPI were used to calculate cost-of-living increases, it would mean smaller increases to Social Security checks each year. If the chained CPI were applied to the tax code, it would move taxpayers into higher tax brackets faster.
Opponents of the chained CPI say that it would unnecessarily cut Social Security and other benefit programs, burden the oldest and sickest Americans, and hit almost everyone with a tax increase. The deficit-reduction plans floating around Washington—such as the Simpson-Bowles plan—recommend that a switch to chained CPI involves additional protections for the most-vulnerable beneficiaries.
That caveat still doesn't make chained CPI an appealing policy option, said Andrew Biggs, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and a former principal deputy commissioner of the Social Security Administration.
"I'm not sure you want to go wholesale change to the chained CPI. One reason is, it's not based on the purchasing habits of the elderly," Biggs said. The consumption patterns of a working household aren't the same as the consumption patterns of, say, an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient living on a fixed income.
Advocates for the elderly agree. "If you're going to say that you're doing this for the sake of accuracy, then let's be fair," said Cristina Martin Firvida, AARP's director of government relations for economic security. Because health care costs are rising faster than inflation, and seniors spend a lot of money on health care, cost-of-living adjustments should reflect that, she said.
AARP favors an experimental metric, the CPI-E, which attempts to calculate the spending habits of the elderly. The problem with that metric is that it wouldn't do much to slow the growth rate of Social Security payments; in fact, it could actually make payments grow faster.
Social Security's annual cost-of-living increases have a history of inflaming partisan passions. In 1985, Senate Republicans passed a bill that would have capped the cost-of-living increase in Social Security. Democrats used the vote to brand GOP senators as a threat to the program. "That's why we lost control of the Senate in 1986," said Steve Bell, senior director of economic policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
During current deficit-reduction negotiations, the Obama White House and Senate Democrats have been emphatic that Social Security must remain off the table. "Social Security is not currently a driver of the deficit. That's an economic fact," White House press secretary Jay Carney said last month. AARP and other advocacy groups have been making the rounds on Capitol Hill, reminding lawmakers of their campaign promises not to touch entitlements for current retirees.
"This, to me, is symbolic of how attached people are to the status quo," Bell said. Social Security checks would still go up every year if the chained CPI was used to calculate them—just not by as much. The fact that lawmakers can't even find a way to address the growth rate of benefit payments is symptomatic of a larger problem, he said.
"We face $10 trillion of new debt over the next 10 years, more or less, and we're sitting here discussing and fighting over a reduction in the rate of increase," Bell said. "Can you imagine how hard it will be for us to get any significant, large, I mean real, deficit deal?"

Lewis Hamilton says he feels for fans in the midst of the Sebastian Vettel era as they "already" know the result before the race is over.
On Sunday the triple World Champion took a massive step towards his fourth successive Drivers' crown when he claimed his eighth win of the season in the Korean GP.
It was also the Red Bull racer's fourth successive win of this season, his third in Korea and it means he can wrap up the title in Japan as he holds a 77-point lead in the standings.
"Personally I feel for the fans because I remember the period of time when Michael Schumacher was winning," Hamilton told Press Association Sport.
"I remember waking up in the morning to watch the start of the race and then going to sleep, and then waking up when it ended because I already knew what would happen.
"I am pretty sure a lot of people are doing that."
But even though fans may not be enjoying it all that much, Hamilton says Vettel deserves respect for his accomplishments.
"He has driven well all year.
"I've just looked at his points and he has had second, first, second, first all year. He's done the perfect job and he deserves it."
As for his own season, the Hungarian GP winner says he has no complaints as Mercedes chase down Ferrari in the battle for second in the Constructors' Championship.
"We're very happy," he said. "We're only a point behind Ferrari so we have to make sure over the next five races we consistently beat them.
"Second in the constructors' would be huge for us. That's my goal, to do that for the team."
