Menu Plan - Nov. 8
A 60-degree weekend... it was lovely. We spent lots of time outside, hiking, laughing, crunching leaves beneath our feet and breathing in the fall weather. This was the first nice weekend since... September! And, we enjoyed it.
We even took a trip to the farmer's market, where we ordered ourselves a Thanksgiving turkey! Yes, that's right... I'm cooking a turkey this year. It will be the first time that Frog Prince and I are celebrating Thanksgiving just the two of us... and I'm looking forward to cooking.
Last week, we should have fired up the BBQ... oh, wait, we'd have to have one first :) Instead, we enjoyed:
(my hubby's new favorite)
(with apple topping)
(which was devoured at Life Group)
(a healthy twist on a familiar favorite)
This week, we're traveling to visit my family and we're celebrating an early Thanksgiving and really early Christmas with them, as we won't be back to visit until.... we don't know when. I'm looking forward to cooking with my family this week, so our meal plan is still a little up in the air at this point.
Gingerbread Waffles (new)
Su - Beef and Veggie Rice (new)
M - Chicken Spinach and Pesto Soup (new)
Tu - Leftovers/Sandwiches
Th - ???
F - Early Thanksgiving dinner!
Sweet Treats
Sweet Potato Pie (new)
Lemon Bars (Lab Group Birthday Treat)

I think Patrick Chan and Virtue and Moir will be up to doing both segments with enthusiasm, along with their individual events. (Weaver and Poje could spell V&M in the short dance if desired.) Duhamal and Radford are headed in the right direction, and Dube and Wolfe could hold up the SP without fear of Canada missing the finals.

"You can't tell me that all these free love hippie dippie types wouldn't embrace some sort of SOMA type narcotic in their later years."
Said XWL today, in the nether regions of the comments thread to yesterday's ObamaCare post.
20 comments:
- Maguro said...
Government-issued hookers? No thanks.
- Janis Gore said...
That's a possibility. Will the prostitutes look like a young Harrison Ford?
- the quietist said...
Boomsday, by Christopher Buckley, is a fictionalization of a similar scheme. Younger voters tired of subsidizing over a third of the adult lifetimes of over-indulged and pampered Baby Boomers -- who would have never extended the same courtesy to their own parents -- push legislation that pays people to commit suicide at the age of 70 (or somewhere around there; I read it a few years ago).
In the novel, once they offer five years of free golf, Caribbean vacations, and other hedonisms fully paid for by Uncle Sam, even the AARP agrees to get on board.
The novel has lots of deficiencies, but its primary virtue was that it was published at around the same time that Democrats and their trained seals in the media like Paul Krugman were vehemently denying that there was ANY impending entitlements crisis at all.
(By the way, kudos to Obama for being strong enough to acknowledge the problem; even Krugman hated on him for suggesting that there was any future funding deficits in Soc Sec.) - 6/16/09, 3:27 PM
- traditionalguy said...
The problem is not the noble boomers. The problem is their brat children who don't want to wait until 60 to inherit from them.
- The Real Barack said...
This sounds like a great idea to me.
I wonder if my VP, Joe, would sign up for this so I can pick someone with a brain for my 2nd term? - 6/16/09, 3:36 PM
- Meade said...
Authentic free love hippie dippie types are already dead.
- John Burgess said...
traditionalguy: The answer to that is to have Boomer parents make sure they spend every last dime before kicking off.
Maybe there'll be a program to buy enhancements to the gov't provided basic SOMA...
Kick the age limit to 95, and maybe I could sign on. That'd put Willard Scott permanently out of work. - 6/16/09, 3:40 PM

XWL has no idea how passionately most humans cling to life at 75.
- XWL said...
XWL has no idea how passionately most humans cling to life at 75.
Current 75 year olds definitely are bitter life-clingers, and I have no objection to that clinginess, it's human nature, it's animal nature even.
But what about 75 year olds who've enjoyed 5 years of drug fueled orgies (or drug fueled navelgazing if that's what turns them on)?
I'm thinking they'd have had all the living they could handle by then (those that don't die before they get through their five years of high times, that is), and even if after that term folks decide to stick around, then it'd be on their own dime.
I did have a very different modest proposal on this same subject from two years back (involving the franchise and who actually receives the transfer of funds facilitated by the federal government).
Also, here's pretty solid evidence that I was well aware of Buckley's novel, so I'm clearly a plagarist.
And as far as Meade's point about the true hippie dippie types being already dead, some folks have amazingly resilient constitutions, and despite lifetimes of abuses of various kinds, they maintain (see: Nicholson, Jack). - 6/16/09, 5:40 PM
- Fred4Pres said...
The Children of Men novel had the oldsters driven into the sea and beaten to death if they attempted to swim to shore. They should have left that in the movie version.
- save_the_rustbelt said...
Not to be picky, but I don't think SOMA is a narcotic, although it is contraindicated in patients with addictive tendencies.
Please give me something stronger. A Vicodin chased with Jack Daniels works well. - 6/16/09, 8:09 PM

"Current 75 year olds definitely are bitter life-clingers, and I have no objection to that clinginess, it's human nature, it's animal nature even."
My father-in-law took a 9000 miles tour around America - by himself - at age 83 - on a motorcycle.
75 is the new 55 - get over it. - 6/16/09, 8:11 PM

Nicholson, pah!!! Look at Keith Richards!!! - 6/16/09, 8:18 PM
- XWL said...
SOMA in the novel isn't (it's a hallucinogen), but I'm thinking if you were to come up with something to attract and addict boomers it should be a cocktail of 3 parts THC, 2 parts MDMA, and finally 1 part morphine.
You need at least some kind of narcotic in the stew to keep folks supremely mellow as they trip away their golden years. Hallucinogens simply aren't addictive for the vast majority of people, so they'd be impracticle as an aid in controlling a population, but with narcotics, most people find them addictive (but destructive to living a responsible life and health, if you have no responsibilities and have an 'expiration date' in mind, then the major drawbacks of heavy narcotic use are mitigated).
And those that choose the individual responsibility route will still be able to choose it, they just won't be subsidized. - 6/16/09, 8:24 PM
- Janis Gore said...
Rats, XWL. I'm allergic to morphine.
- BJM said...
News flash XWL; the majority of Boomers didn't participate in the hippie dippy lifestyle.
We went to college/work, married, bought homes and had kids just as our parents and grandparents before us.
I have many Boomer friends who never went to a rock concert or smoked a doobie. They were too busy taking the kids camping and working to pay for orthodontics and saving college funds.
Last week I tried out a new gym with an enormous indoor rock climbing wall. Half the climbers were "seniors". Any given weekend there are hundreds of cyclists on our county roads, many are over 55 and needless to say, fit, trim and lean.
Myself and most of my Boomer friends are in excellent health as we have kept ourselves so. We are retiring from our chosen professions/selling businesses to pursue long delayed interests, not vegetate. A retired friend is in law school, another is trekking through Greece, another moved to rural Mexico to paint, another on an archeology dig in Asia, yet another, a doctor, is volunteering at a free clinic in Ecuador. I volunteer 20-30 hours weekly and have plans for a new venture. Most of us will remain engaged in one way or another.
Do the voter math, the Boomer python will be working it's way through the demographic pig for a few more decades. - 6/17/09, 12:51 PM

Sorry, had a senior moment....should read....the Boomer pig will be working it's way through the demographic python.
Whatever. - 6/17/09, 2:01 PM

Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa attended the Shine On Sierra Leone 5th annual fundraiser in Venice California last night.
It's been a while since we've seen Lisa, and she looks good! She certainly doesn't look at all like Denise Huxtable anymore! But is that a toothpick in her mouth?
Lisa's daughter Zoe Kravitz was also spotted last night attending the premiere of her new movie X-Men: First Class.
And how hot is Jason Momoa?! Are you watching Game of Thrones on HBO? Jason plays Khal Drogo in the new series and even though he hasn't actually said too much so far I love him in it! This is by far becoming one of my new favorite shows!

Consumed over a cup of coffee, 800 words provide Dowd the ideal length to call her readers' attention to the ephemera at hand that may reveal larger trends and developments. But smart remarks are reductive and anti-ruminative; not only do they not encourage deeper analysis, they stymie it...Bloggers shouldn't be writing books either then, I suppose. But there is this urge to become a permanent object -- a permanent, saleable object.
When a few hundred pages' worth of these observations are published in one book, they suffer the opposite of synergy, adding up to less than the sum of their parts. Energizing in small morning doses, the author's fast-talking spins on the spin can rear-end one another until the pileup exhausts a reader's patience.

Too much Dowd: like too much coffee?
17 comments:
- PatCA said...
But I think a blogger (such as you?) could produce a very nice coffee table style book--short pieces, lots of images.
- paulfrommpls said...
A universal human urge.
Incidentally, I think the muskies in Lake Harriet in the middle of Minneapolis are starting to get used to getting caught and released, like all muskies are anymore. It seems to be getting easier to catch them. I suppose one day they'll just stop fighting. - 11/13/05, 12:37 PM

"Does she let loose three arrows instead of one because she can't choose the cleverest among them?"
That's Dowd, dead-on. - 11/13/05, 12:47 PM
- Allah said...
Holy cow. I can't believe she got slagged in her own paper.
I also can't believe people find her "clever." This is a writer whose work can be -- and has been -- reduced to paint-by-numbers. - 11/13/05, 12:57 PM
- paulfrommpls said...
"But smart remarks are reductive and anti-ruminative; not only do they not encourage deeper analysis, they stymie it..."

Sounds like the Democratic party of late, except the "smart" and "energizing" parts. - 11/13/05, 1:05 PM

The ultimate Dowd takedown is right here, of course. The best part is the end, but the best line comes a bit earlier: "Who wants to deal with Tinkerbell flitting around when you're trying to read the op-ed pages?"
- knoxgirl said...
PJ O'Rourke, for example, can write about politics and be funny and substantive at the same time. With Dowd, it's like they keep saying lately: "There's no there there"
- Paul said...
Can I just say I've never enjoyed her writing and she seems quite happy to deviate from facts as much as she wishes?
Or do I have to (try) and do a cerebral analysis of her trash? - 11/13/05, 4:36 PM
- EddieP said...
Is Dowd necessary?
- SippicanCottage said...
There's lots of talk on these here innernets about newspapers going the way of the dodo. The internet, as currently constituted, makes a poor newsgathering instrument. It takes a fairly large apparatus to assemble the news every day.
But blogs already make Dowd and her ilk superfluous. It's the op/ed page that's dead already, they just forgot to bury it. You can get opinion, firehose style, of a very high quality, from innumerable sources instantly. And it's exposed to the group intellect of the readers in a way that makes it much more difficult to be full of merde like the average Times Op/Ed writer. Dowd's the queen of the dodos. And I mean that every which way. - 11/13/05, 9:30 PM
- PatCA said...
MoDo even made it into the NYT Crossword Puzzle today!
Dowd was the answer to the clue "sharp-penned Maureen."
What is it, anyway, is she the laughing stock, or is this some Rovian PR campaign for her book? - 11/13/05, 10:55 PM
- BeyonceKnowsBest said...
Like every book over 300 pages, I skimmed the parts I found less compelling. But I did not do much skimming with this book. Most of the posters here clearly just disagree with Dowd's opinions, and just as clearly have not read this book, but are merely hopping on the conservative knee-jerk reactive "let's slam liberal authors" bandwagon.
- wildaboutharrie said...
Beyonce, Lord knows I'm no conservative, but I can't stand her columns, for style and "substance". However, you're right - I haven't read the book. But the excerpts look to be of a piece with Dowd's usual writing. So, it's not for me.
- Ann Althouse said...
Beyonce: I didn't see a theme here of rejecting Dowd because she's a liberal. And in case you're just type-casting me as a conservative, I consider myself a stronger feminist than she is. She's trying to do the post-feminist thing.
- BeyonceKnowsBest said...
Ann -- I was responding to many of the comments rather than your original post. From what I've read, I wouldn't type-cast you as conservative in general, but I would say you are on the conservative side of constitutional law commentators. And I would be in shock to discover a female law professor who is not a feminist, however she defines that.
As for the response itself -- looking up I see quite a lot of snarky references to Dowd's book based on the politics (i.e., "the whole left approach"; "problem with the Democratic party"; the article ordering Dowd to stay out of politics). I just wanted to find out how many critics commenting read the book rather than rehashed political battle-cries. - 11/15/05, 12:30 AM

They also decided my wife can't have one of her prescriptions, either.
And they raised our prescription co-pay to $40. We also have co-pays and deductibles for office visits as well.
The two of us pay between $1200 and $1300 a MONTH for health insurance, and now we will also pay about $200 a month more for prescription co-pays – if they let us have the drugs at all.
And if we DO get sick, will they decide not to cover us?
This is what private health insurance companies are about.
The ONLY solution is setting up a Medicare-for-all system, run by the people for the people.

How does the saying go? Support "Socialized Medicine" and you will have bureaucrats determining your health care. You support it, and bureaucrats are determining your health care.
John, I really don't see what your point is (other than to propagate the usual neocon BS about "socialized medicine").
As *I* read Dave's article, he and his wife are using PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE (usually known as the "anti-socialized medicine") and THOSE "bureaucrats" are deciding what's best for them. The big problem with the whole private health care deal is that NO ONE regulates what private healthcare charges or allows to be covered. -
My comment was based on an old quote from the sixties and seventies: "Vote for Goldwater, and you'll get war. I did, and we got war." In this case, the claim was that "socialized medicine" would give us bureaucrats controlling our health care.
We now have bureaucrats controlling our health care. It isn't socialized medicine but private medicine that's doing it. -
You aren't telling us the whole story about your medications. The reason your insurance does not want to pay for Lipitor is because 1 month of Lipitor is about $70. 1 month of generic Zocor or Pravachol is about $1-2. Most people can achieve the same results from either medication.
Doctors can get pretty nice kick-backs for prescribing certain brand medications over the similar generically-available ones.

Jason McInerney and his wife, Melissa, recently tapped their lunch orders onto a touchscreen at the entrance to the Be Our Guest restaurant at Florida's Walt Disney World Resort and were told to take any open seat. Moments later a food server appeared at their table with their croque-monsieur and carved turkey sandwiches.
Asks McInerney, a once-a-year visitor to Disney theme parks: "How did they know where we were sitting?"
The answer was on the electronic bands the couple wore on their wrists. That's the magic of the MyMagic+, Walt Disney's (DIS -0.30%) $1 billion experiment in crowd control, data collection, and wearable technology that could change the way people play -- and spend -- at the "Most Magical Place on Earth."
If the system works, it could be copied not only by other theme parks but also by museums, zoos, airports and malls. "It's a complete game changer," says Douglas Quinby, vice president for research at PhoCusWright, a travel consulting firm.
That would suit Disney just fine, as it expands its global empire of theme parks and kicks up efforts to fend off rivals. The most formidable is Comcast's (CMCSA -0.39%) Universal Studios, which this summer will unveil a massive expansion of its hit Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction at its parks near Walt Disney World.
One hitch for Disney could be if devotees such as the McInerneys find MyMagic+ confining, confusing or even a bit creepy. Some have lit into it with such vigor on Facebook (FB +2.89%) and blogs such as micechat.com that Kevin Yee, a former Disney World employee who operates the travel website UltimateOrlando.com, called their grievances "a rolling boulder . . . and it's going to be difficult to stop completely."
Change is always tricky for Disney, especially at its parks, where introducing a new brand of coffee can spark a revolt by fans. Unhappy mouseketeers last year began a petition drive to keep Disneyland in January from pulling the Billy Hill and the Hillbillies show after 21 years (it didn't work). Others marched on the park's City Hall in 2004 after recalibrations made to the Mad Tea Party ride in the name of safety slowed it down.
MyMagic+ promises far more radical change. It's a sweeping reservation and ride planning system that allows for bookings months in advance on a website or smartphone app. Bracelets called MagicBands, which link electronically to an encrypted database of visitor information, serve as admission tickets, hotel keys, and credit or debit cards; a tap against a sensor pays for food or trinkets. The bands have radio frequency identification (RFID) chips -- which critics derisively call spychips because of their ability to monitor people and things.

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today filed an enforcement action against JPMorgan Chase & Co. (Chase) alleging that the bank engaged in fraudulent and unlawful debt-collection practices against tens of thousands of Californians.
The suit alleges that Chase engaged in widespread, illegal robo-signing, among other unlawful practices, to commit debt-collection abuses against approximately 100,000 California credit card borrowers over at least a three-year period.
"Chase abused the judicial process and engaged in serious misconduct against California credit card borrowers," Attorney General Harris said. "This enforcement action seeks to hold Chase accountable for systematically using illegal tactics to flood California's courts with specious lawsuits against consumers. My office will demand a permanent halt to these practices and redress for borrowers who have been harmed."
From January 2008 through April 2011, Chase filed thousands of debt collection lawsuits every month in the State of California. On one day alone, Chase filed 469 such lawsuits in California. The Attorney General's complaint against Chase alleges that, to maintain this pace, Chase employed unlawful practices as shortcuts to obtain judgments against California consumers with speed and ease that could not have been possible if Chase had adhered to the minimum substantive and procedural protections required by law.
"At nearly every stage of the collection process, Defendants cut corners in the name of speed, cost savings, and their own convenience, providing only the thinnest veneer of legitimacy to their lawsuits," the complaint states.
Chase used California's judicial system as a mill to obtain default judgments, the suit alleges, using illegal tactics to flood the state's court system in order to secure default judgments and garnish wages from Californians.
The alleged misconduct includes:
Robo-signing: Chase illegally robo-signed various litigation filings, including sworn documents, declarations, and verified complaints, without reviewing the relevant files or bank records or even reading the documents before signing.
"Sewer Service": Chase failed to properly serve notice of debt collection lawsuits against consumers while claiming they had been served as required by law. This practice, known as "sewer service," deprives the consumer of any notice of the lawsuit.
Filing Irregularities: Chase haphazardly assembled its official legal filings. For example, Chase failed to redact consumers' personal information in attachments to filings, potentially exposing them to identity theft and in violation of California law. In addition, when asking courts to enter default judgments against consumers, Chase consistently swore under penalty of perjury that the consumers were not on active military duty. In fact, Chase never checked. This deprived service members of important legal protections to which they are entitled while on active duty.

LANSING (WWJ) – State legislators met with school officials in Lansing to discuss critical budget issues that Michigan schools are facing.
State Superintendent Mike Flanagan says school budget deficit should be handled at the local level.
"While the Department of Ed works with local districts to help them arrive at these deficit elimination plans," Flanagan told WWJ's Chrystal Knight. "The ultimate decision is with them as I said and we must give them every opportunity to resolve their deficits on their own and most of them do."
But for those districts who just can't work it out,
"We all know what the extreme solution is. It's mainly an emergency financial manager," Flanagan said.
Almost 50 Michigan schools posted deficits this year with Detroit having the largest at $283.9 million. Benton Harbor in Highland Park were second largest at $11.3 million.
The Department of Education is working on a plan to divert the need for emergency financial managers.
"We're working with education stakeholders to establish a system of early warning indicators to better identify districts that are at risk of going in deficit and it's mostly in the interest of citizens and students in a given district to realize here's some indicators that they're saying you're ready to get into that position if you don't handle it," Flanagan said.
Flanagan said that the Department of Education wants to give school districts every opportunity to solve their own budget deficits. An emergency manager should be the very last resort.

Inside the Numbers - A Look at the 2013 GW Baseball Season
An In-Depth Look at the Statistical Accomplishments of the 2013 Colonials
Last year, the Colonials started the season 15-4, their best start since the 1957 season. GW also strung together two 11-game winning streaks, the fifth-longest in school history. This is the first time that the Colonials have had two winning streaks of 10, or more games in a single season. In June 2003, pitcher Greg Conden was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 18th round of the Major League Baseball Player's Association draft. In seven seasons, Walter has had 16 players play professional baseball following their GW careers.
In 2002, a record six players were selected in the draft. The Colonials returned to the NCAA tournament for the seventh time and first time in the last 10 years. The Colonials won the Atlantic 10 Championship defeating conference rival Richmond for the title. The team set several school records including 42 victories.
Walter led the Colonials to a then-school record 33 victories and captured the Atlantic 10 West Division title in 1998, in only his second year as the GW head coach. Walter was awarded for his accomplishments when the conference named him the 1998 Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year.
From 1992-1994, Walter served as the assistant coach for GW. The Colonials posted a 66-79 (.455) overall record and a 34-25 (.576) mark in the Atlantic 10 during that span. Working primarily with the Colonials' hitting and baserunning techniques, Walter helped guide GW's 1992 squad to the conference championship and a trip to the NCAA Midwest Regional that year.
A 1991 graduate of Georgetown University, Walter started behind the plate or in the outfield in each of his four seasons with the Hoyas. He was the team captain in 1990 and 1991 and was named to the 1991 Big East Conference All-Academic Team. After earning his bachelor's degree in finance from Georgetown, Walter came to GW, where he earned a master's degree in business while serving as an assistant to former coach Jay Murphy.
The Johnstown, PA, native has proven he can lead a team to the championship. As head coach of the New Market (VA) Rebels during the summer of 1994, he led the team to the Shenandoah Valley League title. Following his stint there, Walter took a position with the New York Yankees' Class A affiliate in Greensboro, NC, in November of 1994.
Walter returned to GW in the fall of 1997 charged with the task of resurrecting GW's once prestigious program. After a shaky first season at the helm and a successful summer as the head coach of the Cotuit Kettlers in the Cape Cod Baseball League, Walter's Colonials posted a .660 winning percentage as they broke the school record for most victories and captured the A-10 West Division regular season championship. GW's turnaround from 1997 to 1998 was the fifth best in NCAA Division I baseball for the year.
Walter resides in Herndon, VA, with his wife Kirsten and children, Chase and Kasey.

> Can I freeze bacon?
Can I freeze bacon?
Absolutely. Even though most bacon sold in stores is already cured and therefore preserved, its still a good practice to extend the lifespan of your bacon by freezing it. This is especially the case if you buy in larger quantities via the Internet or because of a sale.
If its already in its retail package, you may want to wrap it with aluminum foil or use a Zip-loc (R) freezer bag. If you have unused portions of bacon from an open package, again, wrap tightly in aluminum foil or Zip-loc (R) freezer bag making sure to remove as much air as possible from the package before freezing. This can keep bacon fresh anywhere from 6 - 12 months in your freezer. Another option is to take a package of bacon and separate it into several smaller, breakfast-sized portions (4-6 slices each) and then freeze these. You'll be able to pull a portion out of the freezer the night before to defrost in the fridge.

A kitchen can be one of the priciest rooms to renovate or build. People regularly spend tens of thousands of dollars on their "heart of the home". I knew from the start that I wanted to save money without compromising on quality. So how does one do that? With a lot of DIY, time to wait for the best deals, and working around the system. Anyway, you've all seen the pictures. Let's get down to business!
Budget Breakdown:
Vintage Gas Range – 450 (1950's Magic Chef found on Craigslist in perfect working condition)
Refrigerator – 965 (We already owned this refrigerator, purchased from the as-is section at Lowes
Dishwasher – 505 (I scored it on mega-sale at Best Buy as a open item)
Vintage Cast Iron Sink – 275 (We found the sink for $50 on Craigslist and paid $225 to have it resurfaced)
Stained Concrete Flooring – 460 (this is an estimate based on the square footage of our kitchen, the whole house has stained floors
Island Misc Supplies – 50 (beadboard, trim and 3 legs)
Cabinets – 825 (this includes Purebond Plywood, trim, door lumber, hinges, door slides and paint, built from scratch)
Island Top – 565 (20 gauge stainless steel fabricated from a local welder, Galisco Welding)
Countertops – 300 (IKEA Numerar butcher block countertops)
Shelving – 150 (7 sets of Cable Shelf Brackets from the Container Store, free reclaimed oak from my dad's barn stash)
Hardware – 20 (two packs of 10 knobs for $10 each from Target)
Faucet – 100 (Overstock.com Wall Mount Kitchen Faucet)
Pendants – 60 (IKEA Ottava pendants)
Pendant converters – 50 (two kits to convert can lights to pendant lights)
Island electrical – 15 (supplies to build in plugs in the island)
Venthood – 120
Veggie cabinet – 45
Dishwasher trim – 15 (Kickplate and trim around dishwasher)
Venthood cover – 30 (one quarter sheet of 1/2″ plywood and 1×2 trim)
Total – 5000
And to answer a few pending questions…
The color of the island is Olympic's Burning Bush. It's utterly glorious. The absolute perfect shade of red, not too cherry, not too maroon. I brushed on three coats of paint followed by three coats of polyurethane.
The cabinet color is Grey Marble by Olympic. Again, I brushed on three coats of paint then three coats of poly.
This range was a rather risky buy. It had already been disconnected when I picked it up, but I trusted the seller on an instinct. It worked out in my favor, but I think it's probably wise to test it before you buy it! Luckily all the burners work and there are no leaks. Still, to be on the safe side, I turn the gas on and off before and after cooking, never leaving it on. It's a minor inconvenience (the shut off valve is located in the lower cabinet) to ensure that we don't run the risk of a slow leak of gas. Call me crazy, but sometimes I like to stay on the safe side, especially when it only costs a few extra seconds of time. Also, as I live in the country and not on city gas mains, I called our local propane provider to make the orifice adjustments for me (converting it from natural gas to liquid propane). Doing it improperly can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, so it's not anything I'm comfortable trying myself since I'm unexperienced with servicing antique gas appliances 😉 Keep that in mind if you plan on purchasing a vintage or antique gas appliance.
The sink was my pride and joy. I searched for months online and at antique shops looking for just the right one. I wanted one with a drainboard, and a unique feel to it. I found this one for $50 outside College Station and it was rather worse for wear in the photo. However when we cleaned it up we found that the rust didn't damage any of the metal, which was awesome! My FIL is a plumber and recommended a great resurfacer, who cleaned up the sink and patched the damaged areas for a very affordable $225. Getting a sink re-enameled can cost upwards of $4-500, so I was thrilled to stay under my $300 budget overall. These sinks aren't easily found, so be ready to look for a while. Trust me, it's worth the wait!
I am head over heels in love with this floor. It's stained concrete by Artistic Impressions, in their walnut color. I love how varied all the tones are, it's so much more interesting to me than tile or wood. At just $2.60 per square foot (stain, sealer, buffing and wax) it's a total bargain for this luxe look. I'm so, so glad we hired out for this. They really make the space look so much more polished!
I hope I've answered all your questions. If you're curious about any finishes or prices, leave me a comment or pop me an email and I'll be sure to reply. And thank you so much for your support along the way! It means so much to me.

Okoli and Gamble Score in 2-2 Tie at ETSU
Oct. 9, 2012 Final Stats | Final Stats | Season Stats By Steven Wright, Wake Forest Athletic Communications (@SIDeacons) JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - No. 18 Wake Forest came from a goal down to take a 2-1 lead in the second half, but ETSU tied the game at 2-2 with just three seconds on the clock, as the Demon Deacons and the Buccaneers tied on Tuesday night at Summers-Taylor Stadium. Wake Forest is now 7-2-4 on the season, while ETSU is 6-5-2. Sean Okoli and Michael Gamble both scored goals for Wake Forest, keeping them in a tie for second on the team with four goals apiece on the season. Ben Newnam picked up the Deacs' only assist on the night to earn his first point of the season, while Michael Lisch made five saves. The Buccaneers got on the board first in the 30th minute when David Geno put one home from the center of the box. Blaike Woodruff played the ball in and after it went off a Deacon defender, Geno scored on his first touch. Wake Forest was able to bounce back relatively quickly when Okoli scored with less than three minutes to go in the first half. The ball traded possession near the 18 a few times before Okoli took control with his back to the goal. He then turned on his defender and scorched a left-footed shot inside the left post. After the break, Okoli nearly put the Deacs ahead in the 52nd minute. Jared Watts set up the sequence by stepping in front of an ETSU pass just near the midfield circle in the Deacs' attacking half. Watts had numbers and played Okoli through on the right side. Okoli took a few touches and sent a shot past the charging keeper, but the ball hit squarely off the post and right back to the goalkeeper. Wake Forest finally went ahead in the 57th minute when Gamble found the back of the net. Newnam crossed a ball from the right side and nearly connected with Okoli who was making a run near post. The ball narrowly missed Okoli's head but drew the keeper out of position, and Gamble was able to capitalize with a left-footed strike from the left side of the box. The Buccaneers nearly tied the game in the 71st minute when Geno took another rip low through the box. Lisch was able to make a nice save in traffic, though, and the Deacs cleared the ball out of danger. ETSU's equalizer came with just three seconds remaining. The clock had stopped after a yellow card was issued to Wake Forest, setting up a free kick deep in the Buccaneer defensive zone. A long free kick put the ball near the box, and after a couple touches, Emmanuel Wilson netted the game-tying goal. Wake Forest took a pair of shots on the first overtime, and ETSU took two itself in the second overtime, but neither team could find the game winner in the extra 20 minutes. The Demon Deacons will return to conference play this weekend when they travel to Virginia on Friday night at 7 p.m.

text: 5 out of 10 Lydia Good Points+ There was a wide range of repertoire and diverse music for many occasions. Bad Points− There were many strange arrangements and often there were wrong notes, especially in the viola part. I had to improvise and edit many of the arrangements myself just to make sure they didn't sound too strange. Confirmed purchase: 03 June 2014 Published on: 23 June 2014

Yes- cloth included.
The shirt is Canclini, a decent quality fabric but nothing special. It's better than my Alumo fabric shirts- very nicely finished and feels great. It is lighter weight which is great because the heat here is horrible and I run hot anyway.
The pants are made from Ormezzano linen.
While Gennaro's fabric selection is nice, it's not the high level stuff you can get downtown. I don't think he would be able to sell it to the local folks- just a guess. I'm sure he would do CMT.

As we moms know, when your belly and butt are often times growing and shrinking thanks to your kiddos (not just me, right?), handbags and purses are the one thing that will always fit.
Well, at least that's the rationale I'm using to snatch up one of these gorgeous custom totes.

The cloudiest month of 1990 was February, with 21% of days being more cloudy than clear.
This station provides hourly reports of significant weather events at and around the station, but does not report the quantity of precipitation at the station itself. This is common for weather stations located outside of the United States, and for a small subset of stations in the United States that are located at lesser used and smaller airports.
This station reports when significant weather events (including precipitation) are visually observed at or near the station. Such events do not always correspond to measured quantities of liquid equivalent precipitation, such as when the event is near by not at the station, or in the case of solid precipitation that does not melt in the collection basin.
The day in 1990 with the most precipitation observations was April 14. There were 24 hourly weather reports that day (out of a maximum of 24) in which some form of precipitation was observated at or near the station. The month with the most precipitation observations was April, with 163 hourly present weather reports involving some form of precipitation.
As determined by the present weather reports, the longest dry spell was from August 14 to September 4, constituting 22 consecutive days with no observed precipitation. The month with the largest fraction of days without observed precipitation was August, with 87% of days reporting no observed precipitation at all.
The month with the largest fraction of days with at least some observed precipitation was April, with 73% of days reporting some observed precipitation.
In this section we consider only those weather reports that indicate liquid precipitation. For the purposes of this analysis, we include thunderstorms even though some thunderstorms are not accompanied by liquid precipitation.
The month of 1990 with the largest number of those reports was April, with a total of 163 reports. The day with the largest number of those reports was April 14, with a total of 24 reports.
This station reports both when snow is observed to be falling and the measured depth of the snow on the ground. Both are subject to erroneous reports, but the latter is significantly less reliable. Please bear this in mind when reading this section.
In this section we consider hourly weather reports that contain an observation of falling snow. These reports do not necessarily correspond to accumulation.
The first reported snow fall in 1990 was on October 23; the last was on May 5. The month of 1990 with the largest number of those reports was January, with a total of 56 reports. The day with the largest number of those reports was January 20, with a total of 18 reports.
Snow depth on the ground is an optional and inconsistently reported part of standard weather reports. It is rarely reported more often than every six hours, it is often skipped, it is often reported erroneously, and a snow depth of zero is normally not distinguished from a missing report. These issues (particularly the last one) make it hard to collect statistics on snow depth with any confidence. To overcome this issue, we base our statistics on only those reports with present non-zero measurements of snow depth. Reports that fail to mention snow that is present, and reports that do not report snow depth because there is no snow on the ground are excluded because they cannot be distinguished from one another.
The first reported accumulation in 1990 was on December 21. The last day of the snow season with snow reported on the ground was March 11. The day with the deepest snow depth was January 2, with an average snow depth of 3.1" over the course of the day. The longest stretch of time during which there was always snow on the ground was from January 1 to January 20 (20 consecutive days).
Humidity is an important factor in determining how weather conditions feel to a person experiencing them. Hot and humid days feel even hotter than hot and dry days because the high level of water content in humid air discourages the evaporation of sweat from a person's skin.
When reading the graph below, keep in mind that the hottest part of the day tends to be the least humid, so the daily low (brown) traces are more relevant for understanding daytime comfort than the daily high (blue) traces, which typically occur during the night. Applying that observation, the least humid month of 1990 was August with an average daily low humidity of 29%, and the most humid month was January with an average daily low humidity of 63%.
But it is important to keep in mind that humidity does not tell the whole picture and the dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find a given set of weather conditions. Please see the next section for continued discussion of this point.
Dew point is the temperature below which water vapor will condense into liquid water. It is therefore also related to the rate of evaporation of liquid water. Since the evaporation of sweat is an important cooling mechanism for the human body, the dew point is an important measurement for understanding how dry, comfortable, or humid a given set of weather conditions will feel.
Generally speaking, dew points below 50°F will feel a bit dry to some people, but comfortable to people accustomed to dry conditions; dew points from 50°F to 68°F are fairly comfortable to most people, and dew points above 68°F are increasingly uncomfortable, becoming oppressive around 77°F.
To take some examples, and basing our categorization on the daily high dew point in 1990, January had 31 dry days, no comfortable days, and no humid days; April had 28 dry days, 2 comfortable days, and no humid days; July had 4 dry days, 27 comfortable days, and no humid days; and October had 26 dry days, 5 comfortable days, and no humid days.
The highest sustained wind speed was 57 mph, occurring on January 17; the highest daily mean wind speed was 18 mph (April 1); and the highest wind gust speed was 67 mph (May 5).
The windiest month was July, with an average wind speed of 8 mph. The least windy month was January, with an average wind speed of 2 mph.
Visibility is the maximum distance at which a given reference object or light can be clearly discerned. In the United States, visibilities that are greater than or equal to 10 miles are typically reported as 10 miles.
The day of 1990 with the lowest average visibility was January 15, with an average visibility of 0.3 mi. The month with the lowest average visibility was January, with an average visibility of 4.0 mi. With an average visibility of 8.5 mi, the month of June had the highest average visibility.
The cloud ceiling is the altitude of the lowest layer of clouds that are at categorized as broken (mostly cloudy) or overcast (cloudy). If no such cloud layer exists then the ceiling is unlimited and no value is reported.
The day of 1990 with the lowest average cloud ceiling was November 27, with an average cloud ceiling of 74'. The month with the lowest average cloud ceiling was January, with an average cloud ceiling of 4390'. The month of August has the highest average cloud ceiling, with an average cloud ceiling of 29528'.

We have over 60 years experience in... Peristaltic pumps, tube and hose pumps, sine pumps, liquid filling and OEM pumps
+65 64557411
This site in other countries / regions:
You are here: Home > News > Peristaltic pumps maximise uptime and eliminate contamination
Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has supplied peristaltic pumps to Novasep for its Sius™ TFF Skid, a tangential flow filtration system used in the biopharmaceutical industry to separate and concentrate biomolecules according to their size. The new skid is the first on the market to offer a 100 per cent single-use TFF solution. Watson Marlow 520UN/R2 and 620UN/RE pumps were selected to facilitate the system's fluid transfer operations.
In tangential flow filtration (TFF), the fluid to be processed circulates across a porous membrane and, under pressure, passes through its pores. Molecules of a greater size than the pores remain in the retentate, whereas small molecules pass through the membrane into the permeate. The retentate circulates continuously in a loop travelling across the membrane which, for example, enables the molecules to be concentrated or facilitates buffer exchange (diafiltration).
Recirculation duties
The recirculation loop (retentate) is fed by a Watson-Marlow 520UN/R2 continuous tubing pump as part of diafiltration, delivering replacement buffer to stream. While a 620UN/RE LoadSure tube element pump is used to recirculate the retentate within the loop, providing low-pulse flow rates and a linear 4 bar displacement pressure, to enable easy setting of the system rentate valve. The advantage provided by these two pumps is that they ensure cells are undamaged through excessive heat transfer and unwanted particulates are not introduced into the fluid stream. Furthermore, peristaltic technology eliminates cross-contamination risks.
"In this type of application, purity and quality are key factors," says Mr Chevalier, Process Engineer at Novasep. "Therefore, the cleaning phases are very important in order to ensure that the equipment complies with hygiene specifications. The Watson-Marlow pumps' tubing provides high-purity, USP Class VI validated contact materials.
Watson-Marlow tubes are pre-sterilised (gamma irradiated) so that the user can eliminate the cleaning and validation phase without risk of contamination. This saves a great deal of time and has a direct effect on operating costs.
Accurate fluid delivery
"The second advantage of Watson-Marlow pumps is that they offer a high degree of precision, even at higher pressures," adds Mr Chevalier. "This has enabled us to leave out the flow meter that we had planned originally."
Novasep, which has its global headquarters in Pompey, France, supplies products for the manufacture of synthetic molecules and biomolecules used in the pharmaceutical, food processing and chemical industries. The company's Sius™ TFF Skid is composed entirely of single-use components, all of which are pre-sterilised and ready to use. Novasep has also developed a system to facilitate the performance of integrity tests that validate the assembly in-situ.
Sius™ TFF Skid covers all tangential filtration requirements from the research and development stages through to commercial production thanks to its compact design and available range (0.1–2.0 m²). The system has been developed completely by Novasep and is supplied with all the validations required to work in a CGMP environment.

- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study (https://pdrisk.ninds.nih.gov) will determine if people who have risk factors for Parkinson disease (PD) have biomarkers (objective ways to measure a disease process) that show that the disease process is actually going on, and if people who have abnormal biomarkers go on to develop PD during several years of follow-up. Biomarkers of Parkinson disease (PD) might identify people who are healthy now but may develop the disease later in life.
Healthy volunteers and people who have certain risk factors for developing PD who are between 18 and 70 years of age may be eligible for this study. People with the following risk factors are included:
- Family history of PD
- Loss of sense of smell
- Fall in blood pressure when standing up
- REM behavior disorder (a type of sleep disturbance)
Participants undergo the following tests and procedures:
- Screening examination
- Medical and neurological history and physical examination
- Tests or rating scales for movement, sense of smell, mood, attention, fatigue, pain, and thinking.
- Measurement of blood pressure and pulse rate while lying down and then standing up
- Blood draw for genetic testing
- Inpatient testing at the NIH Clinical Center for 2-3 days, including:
- Measurements while blowing against a resistance
- Measurements of blood pressure and pulse rate
- Blood draws for levels of various chemicals
- PET and MRI scanning
- Lumbar puncture (spinal tap)
- Electrocardiogram
- Skin electrical conduction test (test of sweat production)
- Skin and core temperature measurements
- Transcranial ultrasound (sound-wave test of the head)
- Follow-up testing (up to five visits in 18-month intervals) to repeat some of the tests listed above, excluding the genetic testing and spinal tap

Parkinson Disease Autonomic Nervous System Diseases Pure Autonomic Failure |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Time Perspective: Prospective |
Official Title: | Biomarkers of Risk of Parkinson Disease |
- Diagnosis of Parkinson disease (PD) based on the characteristic movement disorder in PD, confirmed by Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS).
- Brain 6-[18F]fluorodopa-derived radioactivity; cardiac 6-[18F]fluorodopamine-derived radioactivity; CSF neurochemicals; olfactory testing; autonomic function tests; neurobehavioral rating scales.
Enrollment: | 88 |
Study Start Date: | October 15, 2008 |
Objective: This Protocol is to test whether individuals with statistical risk factors for Parkinson disease (PD) have abnormal values for biomarkers of central or peripheral catecholaminergic innervation and whether at-risk individuals with positive biomarkers develop PD within up to 7.5 years of follow-up.
Study Population: The subjects are individuals who may be at risk for developing PD, because of (a) genetic risk i.e., a family history of PD or genotypic abnormalities known to be associated statistically with PD; (b) olfactory dysfunction i.e., decreased ability to distinguish among odors; (c) symptomatic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD); or (d) orthostatic hypotension. A total of 200 at-risk subjects undergo catecholaminergic biomarker testing by (18)F-DOPA brain and (18)F-dopamine cardiac scanning. At-risk subjects with positive biomarkers are compared to at-risk subjects without positive biomarkers, in terms of development of PD during follow-up. Up to 20 control subjects are included, to add to a database of normal values for catecholaminergic biomarkers.
Design: The study includes four phases recruitment, screening, laboratory biomarkers testing, and follow-up. Recruitment is by advertisement and a web site questionnaire of self-reported risk. A screening examination is done at the NIH Clinical Center, to confirm risk status. Based on the screening examination results, subjects undergo inpatient clinical laboratory testing, to identify central and peripheral catecholaminergic denervation. In the follow-up phase, subjects are re-tested as inpatients approximately every 18 months for a total of up to 5 re-evaluations (90 months, or 7.5 years), to detect the onset of the characteristic movement disorder in PD and follow the status of catecholaminergic innervation.
Outcome Measures:
Primary: Diagnosis of PD by a Board-certified neurologist who is blinded to risk factor status and the results of catecholaminergic biomarkers testing. If PD diagnosed, time to diagnosis.
Secondary: UPDRS; (18)F-DOPA brain scanning, (18)F-dopamine cardiac scanning; CSF and plasma neurochemicals; neuropsychological rating scales; autonomic function testing, retrospective CSF proteomics; retrospective DNA analyses.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 70 Years (Adult, Senior) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Individuals who report at least 3 of the following 4 risk factors at the protocol-specific website may be invited to the Screening Examination. All subjects must have ability to provide their own consent for participation in the study. Otherwise eligible candidate participants who are taking medications that would interfere with the scientific results may be included, if (1) the medications are held temporarily or safely substituted for, and (2) the medications are held while the participants are inpatients. The prescribing physician will be contacted, with the participant's permission, if withholding or substituting medication is considered.
- Genetic Risk: A positive family history (one immediate or more than one non-immediate family member with PD) or positive genetic testing (e.g., LRRK2, alpha-synuclein, glucocerebrosidase) satisfies this risk factor criterion.
- Olfactory Dysfunction: Olfactory dysfunction reported at the protocol-specific website satisfies this criterion. This may be confirmed by the UPSIT sent by mail prior to the Screening Examination.
- REM Behavior Disorder (RBD): To satisfy this risk factor criterion, the individual must have movements of the body or limbs associated with dreaming and at least one of the following: potentially harmful sleep behavior, dreams that appear to be acted out, and sleep behavior that disrupts sleep continuity.
- Orthostatic Hypotension (OH): To satisfy this risk factor criterion, the individual reports symptoms of orthostatic hypotension or having orthostatic hypotension at the protocol-specific website. This may be confirmed by orthostatic vital signs prior to the Screening Examination.
- Age: People younger than 18 years old or older than 70 years old are excluded.
- Risk: A candidate subject is excluded if, in the judgment of the Principal Investigator, Protocol participation would place the subject at substantially increased acute medical risk. This includes the risks associated with air travel to the NIH. A candidate subject may be excluded from the study if, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator or Clinical Director, the medical risk outweighs the potential scientific benefit. An example of such risk is inability to travel safely to the NIH Clinical Center, in Bethesda, Maryland, due to a neurological disorder associated with frequent falls.
Disqualifying Conditions: A candidate subject is excluded if there is a disqualifying condition. Examples of disqualifying conditions are insulin-dependent diabetes, hepatic or renal failure, symptomatic congestive heart failure, severe anemia, psychosis, ventricular arrhythmias, and symptomatic coronary heart disease.
- Unable to Provide Consent: Persons who are unable to provide their own consent (e.g., due to dementia) are excluded.
- MRI: Persons who are unable to undergo MRI safely, due to implanted metal, are excluded from the MRI procedure.
- Safe Travel: A candidate participant is excluded if the person is unable to travel safely to the NIH Clinical Center, in Bethesda, Maryland, such as due to a neurological disorder associated with frequent falls.
- Medications: A candidate subject is excluded if clinical considerations require continued treatment with a drug likely to interfere with the scientific results. Chronic, ongoing use of drugs such as tricyclic antidepressants that affect the clinical laboratory results exclude candidate subjects. People with known or suspected allergy or hypersensitivity to any test drug are excluded. Candidate subjects are not to discontinue any medications before discussion with the Principal Investigator, Research Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, or Clinical Fellow. Temporary discontinuation of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as venlafaxine (Effexor), duloxetine (Cymbalta), or des-venlafaxine (Pristiq) can result in rapid rebound of depression or anxiety, and so treatment with SNRIs is exclusionary.
- Herbal Medicines and Dietary Supplements: If a subject wishes to continue herbal medicines or dietary supplements while on study, but a search of the available medical identifies drug effects that are known or expected to interfere with the experimental results, then the subject may be excluded, at the discretion of Principal Investigator
- Practical Limitations: People in whom we feel it would be difficult to insert a catheter into a vein may be excluded. People who are not expected clinically to tolerate lying still supine during the testing will be excluded.
- Pregnancy: Pregnant or lactating women are excluded

The Case For Copyright Reform: Techdirt Book Club
from the let's-discuss dept
And, with that I wanted to introduce the June book, which is The Case for Copyright Reform, by Rick Falkvinge and Christian Engstrom. This time, I don't have to include an excerpt, because you can download the whole thing for free in a variety of different formats. Of course, you can also buy a physical copy if you'd like to.
And... then you can do whatever you want with it, as the authors have explicitly declared that they retain no copyright in the works, and you are free to do with it what you will. Just to whet your appetite, I'm still going to include a very brief excerpt of just the first few paragraphs, which highlights the key point of the book. Rick and Christian will be joining us for a (I expect, lively) chat at the end of the month as well. Anyway, here's the excerpt:
Today's copyright legislation is out of balance, and out of tune with the times. It has turned an entire generation of young people into criminals in the eyes of the law, in a futile attempt at stopping technological development. Yet file sharing has continued to grow exponentially. Neither propaganda, fear tactics, nor ever harsher laws have been able to stop the development.
It is impossible to enforce the ban against non-commercial file sharing without infringing on fundamental human rights. As long as there are ways for citizens to communicate in private, they will be used to share copyrighted materials. The only way to even try to limit file sharing is to remove the right to private communication. In the last decade, this is the direction that copyright enforcement legislation has moved in, under pressure from big business lobbyists who see their monopolies under threat. We need to reverse this trend to safeguard fundamental rights.
At the same time, we want a society where culture flourishes, and where artists and creative people have a chance to make a living as cultural workers. Fortunately, there is no contradiction between file sharing and culture. This is something we know from a decade's experience of massive file sharing on the Internet.
In the economic statistics, we can see that household spending on culture and entertainment is slowly increasing year by year. If we spend less money on buying CDs, we spend more on something else, such as going to live concerts. This is great news for artists. An artist will typically get 5-7% of the revenues from a CD, but 50% of the revenues from a concert. The record companies lose out, but this is only because they are no longer adding any value.
It may well be that it will become more difficult to make money within some parts of the cultural sector, but if so, it will become easier in some others – including new ones, that we have not even imagined so far. But as long as the total household spending on culture continues to be on the same level or rising, nobody can claim that artists in general will have anything to lose from a reformed copyright.
Should this also have the side effect of loosening up some of the grip that the big distributors have over cultural life, then so much the better for both artists and consumers.
