The latest advertisement from the Romney campaign hits Obama on his China policy."Under Obama, we've lost over half a million manufacturing jobs," a narrator says in the advertisement. "And for the first time, China is beating us."
The advertisement goes on to berate Obama for refusing to "stop China cheating" — a reference to US Treasury decisions not to label China a "currency manipulator."
It's not the first time that Romney has hit Obama on this China policy. The LA Times reports that while campaigning recently in Virginia Romney said, "The president has had the chance year after year to label, to label China a currency manipulator, but he hasn't done so and I will label China the currency manipulator they are on the first day."
However, Obama may have an ally here — Beijing.
Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua has released a sternly-worded editorial today criticising Romney for his comments. Here's a key passage:
What is more sensational is that this millionaire GOP candidate has vowed to declare China a currency manipulator on the first day of his presidency if elected.
Yet it is rather ironic that a considerable portion of this China-battering politician's wealth was actually obtained by doing business with Chinese companies before he entered politics.
Such blaming-China-on-everything remarks are as false as they are foolish, for it has never been a myth that pushing up the value of China's currency would be of little use to boost the chronically slack job market of the world's sole superpower, not to mention to magically turn the poor U.S. economic performance around.
Xinhua had previously criticised Romney for his "hawkish" remarks about the Middle East.

The work of architect Hugh M. Kaptur (b. 1931) will be the subject of the "Hugh Kaptur: Desert Organic Architecture" exhibition opening this Saturday, Feb. 2, at the A+D Center.
Kaptur is a visionary designer who practiced in Palm Springs and the surrounding Coachella Valley area from the late 1950s through the early 2000s. With more than 200 built projects in the area—residential, commercial, and institutional—he played a significant role in the architectural development of Palm Springs.
Many of his designs are considered among the most creative and innovative of the era. Somewhat less well known, at least beyond the Coachella Valley, than the generation of Desert Modern architects that preceded him (Wexler, Cody, Williams, Frey, Krisel and others), this will be the first museum exhibition of Kaptur's body of work and reinforces the museum's commitment to telling the story of Palm Springs architecture and design. In 2015, Kaptur gifted his archive of architectural drawings, models, slides and other materials to the Palm Springs Art Museum and many of the archival materials will be included in the exhibition.

Corporate Wellness expert says antiquated saying 'leave your worries at the door' is implausible
Corporate Wellness Therapist Sybil Allen Jones states that toxic work environments like employers micromanaging every aspect can upset the balance of an employee. A stressed employee worries about their performance at work to a point where they may end up being sick physically.
Jones says the antiquated notion leave your worries at the door, is not plausible in a work place, as we carry who we are everywhere we go, therefore employers need to be cognizant of such details and treat employees accordingly.

The big news for freshwater this year is RIO's InTouch tier of fly lines, built around ultra-low stretch ConnectCore technology. Most fly lines stretch about 30%, which means almost a third of the energy anglers put into cast's or playing fish is lost somewhere between rod tip and the fish. RIO have now put a stop to this senseless waste of energy with the InTouch series. These lines form a premium tier of maximum performance lines to address a broad range of freshwater situations and techniques. Fish an InTouch line and we think you'll agree that taking the stretch out is the biggest advantage in fly line technology.

Hello, folks. I know that kidney is very important in metabolism of some electrolytes. I also know that disturbed levels of calcium and potassium can lead to metabolism disorders. I would just want to know to which ones they can lead. I hope someone here could help me with some details. Thanks.
Hi, there. You are right. Potassium and calcium are very important electrolytes for normal functioning of metabolism. Lack of calcium will affect mostly bones. If it is kids who are affected, then rickets is the option. In elderly, those are osteonalacia or osteoporosis with elderly women. Muscle spasms are also possible due to the disturbed levels of both potassium and calcium. Potassium can affect heart functioning as well. Some acute psychological reactions are also possible. I hope I've helped a little. Bye!

A very hot oven quickly roasts the potatoes and finishes the chicken without overcooking. The simple oil mixture, using solely extra-virgin olive oil to keep it paleo-friendly, packs a ton of flavor without adding excessive calories or fat to an already flavorful dinner. To serve a family, double the recipe and use an additional sheet pan for added space. You can substitute fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise, for the small Yukon gold potatoes.
This beef recipe is simple, but comes out delicious because of the way it is prepared. You get plenty of beef in the form of chuck roast, and it is recommended to use grass-fed beef in this recipe as well as any other beef recipe you follow while eating Paleo. It's also using a few glasses of red wine, and a good portion of tomato paste. If you are concerned about the red wine, don't worry, the alcohol burn away during the cooking process, leaving just the flavor behind. Between the resveratrol in the red wine, and the lycopene in the tomatoes, you are getting a very healthy meal here.
If you want to try a Japanese-style burger without traveling to Japan, this is your ticket. They're using organic grass-fed ground beef from Trader Joe's, an excellent way to start off any burger recipe. From there they add onion, garlic, an egg, and some seasoning to get these just right. They then pan fry them, and they give the instruction of not squeezing them during the cooking process because they'll end up dry. You can flip them as needed, but when it's all said and done these retain their round shape. To make it even more Japanese themed you can use soy sauce during the cooking process.
Simply put, the Paleo diet is the diet that humans were intended to eat. Low carb, high protein, and full of wholesome, natural fo...ods, the Paleo diet has gained rapid popularity for those who truly savor good cooking, but no longer want to be weighed down by processed or unhealthy food. THE PALEO COOKBOOK simplifies the transition into the Paleo lifestyle. This comprehensive cookbook has 300 mouthwatering recipes for every meal and occasion, all gluten free and full of whole, unprocessed ingredients.Start feeling better and getting fit with:300 Paleo recipes for every meal planComfort foods to please the entire family, like Paleo Lasagna or CavemanChicken NuggetsPaleo versions of your favorite international dishes such as Teriyaki Beef, Chicken Cacciatore, and Caveman FajitasDozens of vegetarian options for non meat-eatersAmazing desserts such as Chocolate Cake, and Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies read more
Introducing paleo food to a family can be tough, especially as many people are resistant to the idea. As a result, this cookbook offers one potential way around the problem, by focusing on recipes that aren't obviously paleo. The meals would also work well for many families because they don't use incredibly obscure ingredients and often don't have as many steps as other paleo recipes.
Perhaps you know this by the French name mille-feuille, but it also goes by Napoleon. Following a traditional mille-feuille recipe will get you into trouble on Paleo because of all the puff pastry and pastry cream that is used. Here they've made a faux version, and they've made it Paleo friendly so you won't have to feel bad about eating it. The puff pastry has been replaced with almond flour, so no concerns about wheat or grains, and the filling is made with no dairy, using only ingredients commonly found in Paleo cooking and baking recipes.
This cookbook isn't just a book of recipes. It is a culinary journey. Written by Lauren Lobley, a former sugar addict and pastry c...hef turned healthy chef and health coach, The Accidental Paleo takes a carnivore's approach to plant based eating. By being mindful of textures, layers of flavor, colors and nutrition in every concoction, the recipes in this book are designed to satisfy every palate, whether they prefer their meals with or without meat.The desserts are refined sugar free (and in most cases, naturally sweetened, like the almond butter banana cheesecake), the appetizers trick the palate with their clever use of cashews and coconut milk to feign a creamy texture (like the warm spinach and artichoke dip - to die for), and the main meals carefully build upon an array of vegetables and sauces to leave everyone full and satiated (like the butternut squash lasagna).The Accidental Paleo is culinary fun for the whole family. A feast for the eyes and the taste buds, get ready to fall in love with plant-based eating like you never imagined you would.Inside The Accidental Paleo Cookbook:• 85 easy-to-follow, meat-free, grain-free, hassle-free vegetarian paleo recipes with a carnivore's approach to plant based eating• Nutrient-dense, colorful dishes that leave you feeling full (even without the meat)• Recipes that the whole family will enjoy - even the littlest of the bunch (Lauren's 2 year old daughter devours the lentil dal and the veggie curry...and basically everything else)• Creative use of nuts and other food pantry staples you never knew could be used to pack in so much flavor and texture (like the cashews in the warm spinach artichoke dip and the sundried tomatoes in the collard green wraps)• Guilt-free desserts that will have you wondering if they are truly paleo and sugar-free, and that moms can feel good about giving to their little ones because there is no refined sugar (like the chocolate banana pudding or the almond butter banana cashew cheesecake)• Many make-ahead meals that make it easy for the working person or busy parent to be able to heat up dinner in a pinch on a school night (like the chickpea soup with pesto or the veggie chili) read more
Now, paleo cookbooks are somewhat tricky. The challenge is that there are many individual variations on the paleo diet. For example, some people argue that specific types of dairy (such as grass-fed and organic butter) can be included, while most people disagree. As a result, it's still important to pay attention to the specifics of any recipe or cookbook, even if it claims to be paleo.
You'll learn how great the Paleolithic diet really can be when it comes to fat loss and getting healthier. The best news is that the food you put into your body encourages fat burning. These recipes will make you feel better than you might have ever felt before. Paleo enthusiasts will benefit from habits leading to a more productive paleo lifestyle!
A good ol' sandwich for lunch? Not if you're eating paleo! The grain-free paleo diet is based on the human diet from over 10,000 years ago. This means foods that can be hunted or found straight off the tree or vine (no processed snacks here). So what is a paleo-friendly person on their lunch break to do? Here are 20 fantastic, healthy options that will have your non-paleo co-workers kale-green with envy.
Description: Building upon this critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, Taubes now revisits the urgent question of what's making us fat—and how we can change—in this exciting new book. Persuasive, straightforward, and practical, Why We Get Fat makes Taubes's crucial argument newly accessible to a wider audience.
I just found your blog. I will be checking back frequently in the future. I bought these wraps a long time ago and they are still sitting in my pantry. I make chicken salad almost weekly…I will have to try them in the wraps soon!!! Just a tip I am so thankful to have discovered. Paleo mayo becomes 30 secs in the making and SUPER EASY if you have an immersion blender! It was well worth my $15!! Just put all the ingredients you listed including the oil in a large mouth pint and a half mason jar put the blender to the bottom and blend! There is a video online somewhere. It is the original recipe I found and that blogger took a video of making it. A real time saver!!
This book was written by Natalie Perry, a widely known and extremely respected Paleo blogger. This cookbook is massive with more than two hundred recipes that cover all sorts of different Paleo ingredients. Those ingredients include appetizers, snacks, desserts, soups, chilis, meats, seafood, vegetables, and even some staple pantry items. The exclusive recipes included in this cookbook seem to be mostly drawn from Asian, Latin, and Middle Eastern culinary roots.

The benefits of a grain-free diet has been proven through the personal experience of hundreds of people worldwide who have experie...nced significant relief from a wide variety of auto-immune diseases. The rise of the paleo movement has introduced grain free eating to the masses, and is embraced by many as a healthy way of eating for anyone. read more
This Paleo cookbook was written with nutrition and ease of cooking in mind, but never sacrifices any of the sumptuous flavor you e...xpect to find in Italian cuisine.The best things in life are simple. For instance: eat well to look and feel good! If you're eager to adopt a gluten free lifestyle or follow the Paleo diet, you'll find it very easy to do with the authentic and traditional Italian recipes in this book — each with a Paleo twist. Cookbook author and food blogger Cindy Barbieri (of the Cindy's Table blog) discovered that she didn't have to reject her love of authentic Italian food when she decided to adopt a Paleo approach to family dining. To her delight, she found that many of her favorite authentic Italian cuisine dishes were already Paleo. And those that aren't can be converted with a few simple and healthful substitutions-all without sacrificing the delicious flavors that she fell in love with as a child. Cindy's husband and kids enthusiastically embraced her gluten-free Italian soups, salads, appetizers, entrees, sides and desserts-and your family will too! In Paleo Italian Cooking, Cindy shows you how to prepare delicious family-style Paleo Italian meals, like: Flank Steak with Salsa Verde Chicken Scaloppine in Lemon-Caper Sauce Pistachio-Crusted Cod with Roasted Pepper Sauce Pan-Roasted Garlic-Sage Quail and over 85 other healthful dishes inspired by her grandmother's traditional Italian recipesLose weight and achieve better health without tedious calorie counting, purchasing expensive-but-bland diet foods or avoiding the foods you crave. Simply by avoiding grains, legumes and pasteurized dairy, you'll be able to look and feel better while indulging your passion for Italian cuisine! Indulge your passions for Italian cuisine and healthy eating at the same time with the 90+ "flavor first" recipes youAEll find in this Paleo Italian, gluten-free cookbook. read more
One-bowl meals are another lunch-friendly preparation that's easily adaptable to paleo eating. This one calls itself a taco bowl, but the bowl is lettuce or other broadleaf greens instead of corn tortillas. In fact, all the vegetables in this recipe have healthy doses of vitamins C and A (a half-cup of raw spinach has 1,400 IUs of vitamin A). Vitamin C is sensitive to heat, so the C in this case comes from the fresh greens and the orange slices, rather than from the large serving of orange juice that cooks the meat.
If you love the taste of curry but don't know how to make it, this soup can serve as a reliable way to get that flavor without having to memorize a difficult recipe or use curry from a jar. There are plenty of ingredients being used here, but you'll see in the directions that it's just a matter of combining them all together, so it's not complicated. You end up with an amazing curry soup that has interesting things like almonds in it to give it a crunch you don't usually get with curry. They're also giving it healthy fat and additional protein which is very helpful.
These apple chips are baked, not fried, so you're already coming out on top compared to eating a bag of potato chips. Since you won't be eating potatoes on Paleo it's good to come up with a better alternative. These apple chips will have a sweetness to them, satisfying both your crunchy cravings as well as your sweet tooth. The best part is they only use two ingredients, apples and cinnamon, so there's never any doubt as to whether these are healthy or not. Paleo isn't very fruit centric, but you should be having at least one serving of fruit per day, and this can be it.
Danielle Walker believes the right foods improve health and mental awareness! The simplicity of how these are put together will surprise and delight, so you don't have to be a master chef to have the ability to prepare them. There is amazing variety here as well, from braising to one pot dishes to thirty minute meals and more—there are choices for everyone. For those who have busy weeknights, you'll never have to worry again.
The idea behind the paleo diet is that the human digestive system can handle these unprocessed foods much better than it can digest modern-day products like dairy, grains, and sugars. Many people stand by this diet as an effective method for weight loss, cleaning eating, and overall healthy living. Though, as with many fad diets, this can be restrictive since you don't eat dairy or whole grains, so you should consult with your doctor before trying this or any other extreme diet.

Maybe tomorrow …
In approximately six months I will be 54 years old.
Yesterday, I got an invitation in the mail from the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) to join up – just $16 for a year's membership – complete with a couple of fake cards for me to "keep in my records." If I pay them some money, they'll send me my real AARP cards and I can be a bona fide card-carrying member, eligible to receive their magazine and get all sorts of great discounts and deals.
Cool, right? Except I'm only 53 and a half, guys. I'm … I'm not a senior citizen!
My late grandparents were true senior citizens, complete with wrinkles, too much perfume, gray hair and big ears. My mother is a genuine senior citizen. She's 77 and a half, very healthy and honestly, she looks no more than 60 to me. She has a great figure. My Dad was a senior, but he looked a lot younger than he was, too. He'd have been 82 last month if he hadn't died from a freak bump on the head in 2005. He was basically healthy as a horse, strong and active, played golf several times a week, and had been on blood thinners for many years because of heart problems. He'd survived two separate heart valve replacements over the course of 20 years. But when he bumped his head that day, it caused a massive bleed into his brain, thanks to the coumadin. His time was up. Even almost five years after his death, it still shocks me.
So what is it, exactly, that makes us officially old? That letter from the AARP?
See, in my mind I'm the same person I was when I was 10: I'm gifted with a vivid, visual imagination that manifests itself most often in writing and drawing. I'm blonde and blue-eyed; rather tongue-tied and uncomfortable in social situations; I'm a gawky, average-sized person who loves animals and birds and star-gazing; and I'm smart, even if I'm terrible at arithmetic. I'm a whole lot tougher and braver than I look. I can be aggravatingly stubborn. I'm empathetic, loving, forgiving to a fault and compassionate, and I'm never quite convinced that I'm good enough. At anything.
That was me at 10 and it's still me four decades, a few years and six months later. Sure, I've learned a lot since I was a child. Some of the lessons were very hard, but I wouldn't change anything I did or didn't do, looking back. I'm wiser than I was 10 years ago and a whole lot wiser than I was 30 years ago. I like me.
The most important thing I've learned is that I will never stop learning and will never, ever know everything, even though I did when I was 20.
I'll concede that my body has changed. I can't do some of the physical things I once could. I've had rheuma since I was 31 – practically a child! – and age has nothing to do with that. I have crinkles at the corners of my eyes and after losing 50 pounds last year, I discovered crepey skin on my neck and hands that hadn't been there before because it was all puffed up with fat. This year, my hands started looking old to me, which is rather disconcerting, but they're still good hands. I find gray hair not on my head but in my eyebrows, of all places. The still-blonde hair on my head is falling out and thinning alarmingly, it's true. That's not because I'm old, though. It's just a side-effect of one of my rheuma meds.
And yes, even moderate exercise tires me out quite a lot faster than it used to. Once again, I blame that on RA, the bugger. Being physically un-fit doesn't help, either. If I was fitter – and I'm determined that I will be, soon – I'll bet I can run and jump just like the 10-year-old me once did. What fun that will be! Really, all it will take is some steady exercise, another 30 pounds of weight loss, and a whole lot of imagination. Those first two will be a real challenge, but the last will be dead easy for me.
As of today, I'm four pounds lighter on my feet than I was at this time last week. I feel better overall. My pants aren't as tight. Yes, there's a price. I didn't get to eat pizza and I spent a fair number of days after walking quite sore and loose-jointed. But it's already getting easier.
In the previous post, I linked to a man and his thoughts about healing, incurable illness, disability and living well. He's a year older than I am. He's got good Finnish blood and sisu* running in his veins, just like I do, except he has a bit more of the first. We're dead even on the second. He's lived his whole life with a disability – he's blind – but he lives well both because of it and in spite of it. He likes the word "tempered" when it comes to describing himself. He knows he's incredibly tough and resilient, his strength of body and mind forged in the fires of personal hardship. He has never allowed his disability slow him down much; instead he's honed his talent with imagination and words into utterly exquisite prose and poetry. Stephen Kuusisto inspires me and others all over the world to do the same.
My body is getting older, but my mind remains very young. They're both tempered. It's a good thing.
*Sisu is a Finnish word I learned as a child (one of the very few Finnish words that survived from my great-grandmother, who emigrated to Canada from Finland as a very young woman. I was told it meant, basically, perseverance. Wikipedia goes further, though. Sisu, loosely translated, "means strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity. However, the word is widely considered to lack a proper translation into any language. Sisu has been described as being integral to understanding Finnish culture. The literal meaning is equivalent in English to "having guts", and the word derives from sisus, which means something inner or interior. However sisu is defined by a long-term element in it; it is not momentary courage, but the ability to sustain an action against the odds. Deciding on a course of action and the sticking to that decision against repeated failures is sisu."
"Tempered" vs. "healed"
Writer, poet and teacher Stephen Kuusisto has a wise and fascinating post up about disability and healing. He says:
… Principle One: sometimes it's crucial to break the rules. Principle Two: We can't always be healed but we can live well.
… We are all hoping to "get well" when we are fighting an illness or a disability. I recently attended a conference on writing and "healing" and heard lots of literary writers talking about how important their creative work was in terms of "healing" from illness. What was fascinating was the way every one of those writers assumed the easy use of "healing" or "being healed" as being analogous to the purpose behind human creativity. This is an old fashioned idea that many otherwise sensible people are still attracted to. Who would want to argue against this idea? Isn't the goal of every therapeutic encounter to be healed?
Well no, not always. People who have disabilities or who are enduring an intractable illness are often faced with a different challenge, one that defies healing but which requires us to think about being well just the same. As a teacher with a disability who is increasingly researching the ways that culture influences our ideas about "ability" and "disability" I have come to prefer the old metallurgical term "tempering" to "healing" because it suggests that we are getting stronger without denoting a complete physical transformation.
Not every disability can be healed. I learned long ago that being "incurable" and being well are possible. But don't go looking for this anomaly in the rule book. In effect what you need to do is break the rules that have long been established for how to think of being well. I am for instance the best blind sailor in my family. Never mind that I'm the only blind sailor in my family. I did in fact teach my sighted wife how to dock a boat. There's no rule book for this.
Go read. It's thought provoking and inspires attitude.
Update: In other news, yet another "late season" storm is blowing through right now. It's cold and raining poodles and Persians out there. Really, really windy, too. It's screaming around the eaves and making my big (really big) wind chime sing. And, I saw a poor little female hummingbird get blown away, literally, a little while ago. I hope she survives the gale!
With the drastic change in the weather comes an increase in the intensity of my hand and wrist pain, which is why I chose to link to Mr Kuusisto's post today, along with the fact that it's an excellent one and I love his writing and poetry. Doesn't hurt that he's a fellow Fin, either. He looks so much like my late grandmother it's almost unreal. Masculine version, of course …
Time for a paraffin hand-bath. Thanks for visiting!
Sunday in the garden
Today was Work in the Garden Day.
OK, it was more like Work Up the Gumption to Work in the Garden Day. Breezy and 72 degrees. Sunny. I spent the morning washing, drying and hanging up clothes, since this was a chore that needed to be done, too, but I kept thinking about those rotting bales of straw from last year's garden and how I needed to get out there and break them apart and start raking them over the weed-whacked Back 40.
This was because every time I look out the family room windows, I see the lumber Mr Wren bought and treated just prior to the last big Late Season Storm, sitting there, waiting to be turned into raised garden beds. Mr Wren was out, volunteering at the local Home and Garden Show with the Master Gardeners, something he's done for the last three days. I knew he'd be pretty tired when he got home, but with yet another Late Season Storm scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday this week, if we're going to get those beds done before mid-May, Stuff Has To Happen.
So I put on my gardening jeans, my sleeveless T-shirt (might be nice to get my Vitamin D from the sun instead of a bottle of pills for a change, thinks I), slathered on SPF 50 sunblock (doesn't that make the whole sun/Vit. D thing moot?), found my gardening gloves, stuck my gardening hat on my head, grabbed Finny and out we went.
I had two hours until Cary was to get off work, and she was making noises about wanting to go perambulating with me again. I figured I could get quite a bit done in two hours if I hustled and still have enough energy to walk two miles.
Heheheh. No… but I did get all those straw bales broken up. Turns out that after a long autumn, and a very wet winter and spring, they're mostly rotted inside, some of them nearly into lovely black compost.
So much for actually raking the straw over the weeds. Most of it is un-rakeable. But a lot of it can be mixed into the soil to continue the process of breaking down into more rich soil, so now it's a matter of getting it all out of the way so that the beds can actually be built. And, as the weeds come back, I figure weed-whack them down again.
Those weeds are my bane. They're mostly foxtails, and once they put up their namesakes-like seedheads, not only do they reproduce themselves times several hundred per weed, the foxtails also get easily caught in Logan's thick fur, his ears, his pads and maybe even his nose. The nose disaster hasn't actually happened yet, but it has to our neighbor's Irish Wolfhound. Cost her a fortune to get that foxtail removed from his gigantic snout, and I can only imagine the awful discomfort it must have caused him.
Why not spray the Back 40 with Round-Up, you ask? That stuff kills weeds dead! And so it does, but Mr Wren is Earth-friendly to a fault. His normally gentle lips curl into a scary snarl when such options are aired; he despises commercial, chemical herbicides and insecticides with an ardor that is truly something to see. So the solution has always been to simply weed-whack two or three times each spring, summer and fall, a hot, sticky, itchy, hellacious, two-day job. He did it. I provided band-aids, iced beverages and encouragement.
He can't do it anymore, though. Age, osteoarthritis and degenerative disk disease prevent the kind of Supergardener escapades he was once capable of. And so I, with my own limitations from rheumatoid arthritis, ponder the task.
I worked for my two hours in the sun this afternoon. It felt great. The hours flew by, and by the time they were up, I was draggin' tail again and my hands were throbbing ominously. I came inside, Finny in tow, and called Cary to see if she still wanted to walk. I was prepared to do it, really I was, but she said she'd changed her mind. Work had been frustrating and difficult (she does the production on the Monday edition of the local newspaper alone on Sundays) and while she'd met the deadline, she didn't have much oomph left in her. I was just as glad. She might have had to carry me for the last mile.
I took another hot shower and washed the dirt and sweat away, then got started on dinner, using some spring onions and leeks that survived from last season (against all expectations) in a nice spaghetti sauce. The pasta was spinach and cheese tortillini. It wasn't the wholegrain type (bad Wren!), but I figured I'd eat of them lightly and load up on the leftover beet-and-grapefruit-and-spring mix lettuce salad from yesterday.
And that's what I did. Now Mr Wren is out in the garden, clearing space for the two raised beds. Each will be 16 feet long and five wide, and he's making them 24 inches high so neither of us will have to bend much to tend them. He's tired from his volunteer work earlier in the day, so I don't expect him to get too far tonight. But that's all right. We can get a lot done tomorrow (I'm ever optimistic), let the storm blow through again on Tuesday and Wednesday, and get back to garden-building on Thursday after a good rest. I'll walk with Finny again tomorrow, too. And soon, we'll start planting this season's summer garden.
I can almost taste those sun-warmed Roma tomatoes now.
Wren's domestic adventures
In the previous post, I wrote in the third update that I really, really wanted a hot bath, but that I'd have to settle for a hot shower instead (we have no bathtub; that's another story) while the beets I'd roasted for a yummy salad cooled off enough to peel and cube.
I trudged into the shower. The steaming- hot water, falling from the wide rainfall-shower head, felt simply fabulous on my tuckered out, sore old self. OK, not as good as sinking into a deep bathtub full of hot water would have felt, but it was a definite close second.
I'd bought a jar of Neutrogena Energizing Citrus Body Scrub a few days ago on a whim; it's made with sesame oil and granules of sugar, so they dissolve and don't end up floating forever in the ocean or sludge up in the ground water, unlike the plastic sand that's in a lot of other body scrubs these days. Have you ever heard of anything so completely, ecologically destructive and mindless? Check out Dr. Charles' post on this subject when you get a minute. You'll be appalled. Really.
But I digress.
I slathered on the citrus body scrub. It smelled wonderful, like an exploding lemon. And it felt good as I scrubbed my skin with it. Mmm. Made my skin nice and soft, too. Must be the sesame oil, I thought to myself. What a nice idea.
I turned to rinse off and my bare foot sliiiiiid on the oily residue that was now all over the shower's tile floor, almost turning me into a shower casualty. Fortunately, I caught myself, but I was sure surprised. It was like standing on an oil slick. And not only that, my skin was like an oil slick, too. I couldn't rinse the stuff off.
So I grabbed the bottle of Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap. Sure, I'd smell like a lemony peppermint stick by the time I was done, but surely it would be better than the rather ripe, eye-watering, nose-hair-curling fragrance I'd been carrying around since my walk? I set to it. I love Dr. Bronner's. It's a wonderfully pure castille hemp soap, it cleanses gently and it never leaves any sort of residue. Plus, I have a feeling it could clean motor oil off garage cement. And the peppermint leaves you feeling all tingly …
Dr. Bronner's got a little of the sesame oil off my skin, but not all of it. I poured some more of it onto the shower brush I keep on the window ledge for cleaning the tiles and scrubbed the floor so I wouldn't go arse over teakettle when I got out – and so the next person into the shower also wouldn't go unexpectedly flying. No go. I'm going to have to hang a sign on the glass shower door that says "Danger! Slick as cat sh*t in here!" and tackle that shower stall with Comet tomorrow. Sigh.
Finally, I was done. I dried off, climbed into clean jammies and slippers, dried my hair and went back to the kitchen, ready to take on the roasted beets.
I hadn't tried the salad I'd be using them in before. I'd found Tracey's recipe for it on her blog, "I'm Not Superhuman." She's a young health writer who has terrible, painful knees – and she's a very good cook. Her recipes are always simple, out of the ordinary, healthy and really tasty.
You can find the salad, if you're interested, at the link above. It involves roasted beets, cut-up sections of pink grapefruit, soft goat cheese, and arugula. The grocery store I went to didn't have arugula (El Dorado County is one of the few staunch Republican enclaves left in California – and you know how Republicans feel about arugula!) so I got the spring mix (I think they sneak some of that lefty liberal arugula into it).
Tracey's recipe called for a single beet (the recipe makes enough for two). I was going to get two of them, to feed the four of us. But the store I went to for the ingredients only had tiny beets, each about the size of an undernourished tangerine. I'd never seen such small beets before, but I went ahead and got five. I figured that would be enough (assuming the young'uns in the household would actually eat the salad. Ew, vegetables!).
The idea is to roast the beets until they're soft enough for a fork to slide into easily, then cool them, peel them and cube them up for the salad. Easy, right?
Wrong. Not tonight. Those peels just didn't want to come off those little beets. I finally managed it, but not without much cursing and staining my sesame oil-softened fingers and the cutting board a beautiful, deep crimson. Good thing I keep that Dr. Bronner's handy in the kitchen, too! It de-stained my hands, but the cutting board remains pinkish. It's sort of pretty.
So. I got the salad made. Drizzled vinegar and oil over it, as the recipe said to.
And then I broiled two nice salmon fillets. I'd gotten them at Trader Joe's – frozen, wild Alaskan salmon in individual packets – a while back. I prefer fresh salmon when I can get it (and I do love that fish – it's like eating life), but frozen is good enough in a pinch. Cheaper, too.
Sprinkled the filets lightly with garlic salt, ground some organic citrus seasoning over 'em and stuck 'em under the broiler. They were done in no time.
Finally! I could eat dinner! And I was so hungry. All this peregrination for miles has given me quite an appetite. Grizzlies fresh from their winter hibernation have nothing on me.
Well, the salad was as delicious as it sounded. Thanks, Tracey! It was worth waiting all that time for the beets to cool off, and worth the hassle of peeling them. The mix of flavors is exquisite. The only change I'll make next time (and I will make this again) is to use crumbled feta cheese rather than the soft, mild, creamy goat cheese I bought. I think the sharp, salty tang of the feta will be delicious combined with the sweet and sour of the beets and grapefruit, and the bitter of the spring mix lettuces.
But the salmon … sniff … was simply awful. I can't remember exactly when I bought it, but either it had been in my freezer way too long or they flash-froze old fish. It didn't smell bad, coming out of the package, but it sure tasted nasty. Bleh. I couldn't eat it. Logan (our elderly dog) loved it, though.
To make up for the salmon, I had a big, extra helping of the salad. And to console myself, two sublime squares of dark chocolate for dessert. And now, I'm going to toddle off to bed. Life is good even when it resembles a Three Stooges episode. Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!
Note: By the way, no one has paid me a penny to hawk their products in this post. I just wanted to share.
Moving right along
So, yesterday Finny and I walked again. My hips were feeling almost normal.
Sounds so mundane, doesn't it? We walked. Maybe I should find a new word for it. "Trekked" isn't quite right; to me it connotes an overland journey filled with obstacles, like tall hills to climb and malodorous swamps to wade through. While we did gain a few hundred feet in altitude on the outward walk up the trail, it was all downhill and swamp-less on the way back. A funny-Finny side story: Upon our return to the trailhead, I made a beeline to the Mosquito Station ladies' room, one of those largish, tiled, single public restrooms equipped with a commode and sink. I'd no sooner sat down when Finny, wandering around, calmly lifted his leg in the corner.
"Finny! No!" I yelled. He looked sheepish.
Yes, I wiped it up. Sigh.
Anyway. Walking. Yes. Another word. How about "tramping?" That sounds a bit British; it makes me think of wild, rainy moorland, Wellies and stiles over which one must scramble. Not exactly what we were doing, considering the El Dorado Trail is nicely paved, stile-less and (yay!) it wasn't raining. In fact, it was beautiful. Sunny and warm. I got sweaty.
March. Stroll. Peregrinate. Parade. Ramble. None of these work perfectly. You couldn't call what I did yesterday "power walking" – I wasn't walking very fast – but "strolling" isn't what I did, either. Nor did we "parade." But I did start "marching" after 20 minutes or so; I was getting tired, and rather than dwell on it, I reverted back to my old-time trick, calling cadence beneath my breath so I could just cover ground without forever wondering when I was going to discover that small mile-marker painted on the pavement. HUP-two-three-four. LEFT, left, left-right-left. "The ants go marching one-by-one, hurrah, hurrah…" Oddly, Finny seemed to like my soft singing. He stopped pulling on his leash (my achy left hand thanks you, little guy!) and just trotted alongside me.
Then I saw the marker. Somehow I'd missed the one marking a mile. Instead, we'd shlepped a mile and a half. All uphill. Sheesh. No wonder I was getting tired.
I know, I know. That's not much distance for those ridiculously fit people who jog daily or ride a bike for exercise. But for me, a mile and a half is pretty decent, particularly as I only started perambulating again recently.
"Good enough, Fin," I said with relief, and we turned around. Actually, I'd planned only to do a mile out and back, thinking I'd give my cranky hips a break before trying for more distance again. But doing that unexpected extra half-mile made me feel sort of proud, too.
I sang "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" on the way back. And more left-right-left chanting. We encountered skateboarders, speeding bikers, a mom and her pigtailed little girl on a tandem bike, several inward-looking joggers with earbuds and iPods engaged, lots of other dogs and their people, and a very old couple who were literally inching along, hand-in-hand. It was good.
And by the time we made it back to the restroom and the car, we'd racked up three more miles, something over nine miles for the week thus far. Today, my daughter wants to go along. She hasn't done any marching, strolling, trekking or striding for a long time, so we're going to take it easy and do just two miles today. Still, when it's done, I can say I walked nearly 12 miles since last Sunday. And a week from today, I'll be doing the Sacramento Arthritis Walk — three miles at Land Park with a crowd of others, raising money to help find better treatments and a cure.
Now that's not bad for a chubby, middle-aged woman with RA. I'm smiling.
Update: Breakfast/lunch today (I didn't eat until 11:30 a.m.): Sandwich made of two slices wholegrain bread; half a Roma tomato; 1 slice Tillamook medium cheddar; a handful of spring mix lettuce; 1 tbsp. mayo. Half a Ruby Red grapefruit, in sections. 1 luscious square of Dove dark chocolate. 1 cup of coffee made with half decaf and half regular coffee, a spoon of Splenda and a tbsp. of condensed milk.
I'm full. And I've lost two pounds since Monday! :o)
Update the second: The Finster and I walked (daughter got busy playing a video game and opted out) a mile, at which point my tail was seriously draggin'. So we turned around. I accomplished my two-mile mission. Now, dinner is started … we're having broiled salmon filets and a salad made of roasted, cooled beets, grapefruit sections, goat cheese and spring salad greens. And then I'll settle down and watch a movie. When I wake up, I'll go to bed. Have a great weekend, everyone!
Update the third: I haven't had my dinner yet because the !@#&*!! roasted beets took so long to roast and now they have to cool. And I'm grieving for my lost bathtub. I wanna long, hot soak in the tub. I neeeeed a long, hot soak in the tub! Oh well. I guess I'll take a hot shower instead. The family will thank me. They've been waving lit sticks of incense after me when I pass. I guess I really did get sorta perspire-y today…

Dr. Rolando Morales has helped hundreds of men and women in Katy and surrounding Houston areas with quick, simple cosmetic treatments to achieve a more youthful look, the kind that family, friends, and colleagues can't help but compliment. Request a consultation today or call to schedule your appointment.
Juvederm Voluma XC has revolutionized non-surgical restoration of midface volume loss secondary to the aging process. Voluma XC is a smooth injectable Hyalauronic acid filler that provides patients with immediate results. Voluma XC is the only non-surgical alternative to Cheek implants approved by the FDA.
As we age, the soft tissue of the midface becomes volume depleted and lax that can make patients look hollow with sunken cheeks. Restoring this volume loss in strategic places gives a healthier and improves facial proportions.
Voluma XC with Dr. Morales
Your treatment results are dependent on the skill of the doctor administering your injections. Dr. Morales is skilled to perform his own injections and does so with outstanding outcomes.
Your treatment will begin with a gentle cleansing of the skin followed by the application of a topical anesthetic for your comfort during the procedure. Dr. Morales has used all types of injections needles and has selected very fine needles to decrease patient discomfort. Most patients feel a minor sting from the injection, which feels like an insect bite. Your treatment will usually take as little as 10 minutes.
Because Dr. Morales is a plastic surgeon, he can also help you with any plastic surgical questions you may have. He also may suggest additional treatments to address your current skin care issues or to help prevent skin damage. Voluma XC is also an excellent treatment to combine with BOTOX Cosmetic or Clear + Brilliant laser therapy to give Houston area patients an overall non-surgical facial rejuvenation that leaves them looking and feeling younger.
"El mejor ,sin duda alguna lo recomiendo al 100% The best, without a doubt I recommend 100 %"- L.R. / Facebook / Mar 17, 2020
"They accommodated all of my needs even with me living a few hours away - Couldn't have asked for a better surgical experience, from day one consultation to every post op appointment. Dr morales and his staff have been absolutely amazing! The office is beautiful and extremely clean! They accommodated all of my needs even with me living a few hours away! I would recommend anyone to them!"- H. / RealSelf / Mar 14, 2020
"Dr Morales and his staff are absolutely amazing! My whole process was very smooth. They accommodated all my needs even with me living 3 hours away! Linda, Dr morales and the whole staff made every appointment enjoyable, and answered any questions i had! Definitely recommend anyone to him!"- H.S. / Google / Mar 14, 2020
"Dr Morales loves what he does, and it shows. He did an amazing job with my augmentation and breast lift. I love every part of my body now. Linda is very patient with me as I had to change my surgery date a few times and always happily returned my phone call with positivity and cheerfulness. Tori was very helpful. The procedure went smooth. And healing as well. I'm so Happy with my result."- K.P. / Google / Mar 04, 2020
"Fantastic experience all the way around."- A.B. / Google / Feb 18, 2020
What to Expect
Because Voluma XC injections are so simple and easy, returning to work or normal social activities is no problem immediately following treatment. You should keep your head elevated for at least 4 hours after the treatment and avoid rubbing or touching the treatment area. Rarely, slight bruising or swelling may appear at the injection site and ice will reduce this affect.
Your Voluma XC results will usually be visible immediately, and may have a little swelling and/or bruising for a few days. Voluma XC is reported to last up to 2 years or longer.
You won't believe the results you can achieve until you see them for yourself.
Expected Cost
Voluma XC costs $1200 per 1 cc syringe. Depending on the area and the extent of correction, two syringes may be recommended for optimal results.

Voluma FAQs
What Is VOLUMA XC?
Voluma XC is a smooth injectable Hyalauronic acid filler that provides patients with immediate results. Voluma XC is the only non-surgical alternative to cheek implants approved by the FDA.
As we age, the soft tissue of the midface becomes volume depleted and lax that can make patients look hollow with sunken cheeks. Restoring this volume loss in strategic places gives a healthier and improves facial proportions.
What does XC Stand For?
The "XC" refers to xylocaine. By combining the anesthetic lidocaine with the filler, it reduces the discomfort during and after treatment.
Do Voluma XC Injections Hurt?
Dr. Morales personally injects Voluma XC in the office by appointment. A topical numbing cream is usually used to help with discomfort.
Voluma XC Side Effects?
After treatment, it is possible that you might have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, or tenderness. Swelling may be more likely in patients under the age of 36, and bruising may be more likely in patients over the age of 35.
How Long Does Voluma XC Last?
Voluma XC is reported to last up to 2 years or longer. In our experience, results of the standard hyaluronic acid filler products are quite consistent, all lasting an average of 6-9 months. Longevity of the product also depends on the skin quality and location where the product was injected. Follow-up injections help maintain the results longer. Many patients recognize their results for a full year or longer, however due to the individual and uniqueness of each patient, it is best not to suggest this will be true for all.
Is This Treatment Safe?
Voluma XC has been researched extensively for safety and efficacy. Major side effects are very rare.
Reasons not to use Voluma?
Patients should not use Voluma XC with allergies to lidocaine, certain microorganisms known as gram-positive bacteria and by people with previous bad allergies to drugs who have required in-hospital treatment. JUVEDERM should not be used by people with bleeding disorders, who are or may become pregnant, are breastfeeding, or under 18 years. Injections should not be made anywhere except the skin or just under the skin.
Voluma Recovery Time?
Patients are able to return to work or school immediately. Some patients commonly choose to take the afternoon off to ice the area and decrease swelling.
What to tell Dr Morales About?
Tell Dr. Morales if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, so he may prescribe a medication to minimize recurrence. You should also tell him if you have recently used aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's wort, or high doses of vitamin E supplements, these agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.

50 successful years in business called for the Canadian clothing brand, Nygard International to host a celebration! A company with such prestige requiring an evening that'd entertain 1800 guests from start to finish meant that we'd have to bring our a-game. To ensure all attendees experienced a show only worthy for one of the world's largest manufacturers and suppliers to deliver, we brought together Winnipeg's most talented audio and visual team. Now, with a team totaling over 50 years of event experience behind the show, we decided on the 50 Years in Fashion theme that'd feature a fashion show and gala dinner.
It made perfect sense and was a sure yes when Nygard asked for our hand in their 50 Years in Fashion event because we already had experience flawlessly executing one of their events six months prior. Their trust in us to deliver allowed for us to have complete control over the event as long as we included their signature logo blue. That said, we followed suit and thought what better way to celebrate and gear people up for their newest collection launching in October then by with a fashion show that ends with fireworks!
Nygard is an A-list client that thought the bigger, the better – so that's what we gave them. We brought all hands on deck to transform Winnipeg's major meeting rooms in the RBC Convention Centre, and during the grand finale we showcased out of the box lighting and video that mimicked a real life fireworks show. But the night got better from there when models floored the runway with the company's newest designs for the upcoming season and confetti filled the air. If that doesn't scream successful fashion show, it was the ambiance and energy that filled the room.
Smiles, laughter and cheers of joy weren't the only signs of enjoyment the audience showed, probably the biggest realization that the Nygard lovers were excited about the Iconic 50th Anniversary Collection was when they honoured Peter Nygard when he reached the end of the runway after the fashion show with a standing ovation. Imagine nearly 2000 people clapping in-sync all showing love and appreciation. It was a beautiful sight and moment, and a classic evening that marked a new company milestone that attendees can look back on to for inspiration forever.

Running your own business is incredibly rewarding, but it also you should be skilled at sales. Online marketing will help with these things so that a reality for you.
You have to have a superb website before worrying about getting it ranked. This is the first thing a online company. The easier your site is to navigate and operate, the less effort it takes to maintain.
Keep an eye on what your competitors are up to, and react accordingly. If you can picture yourself buying from them, analyze the techniques used to make you feel that way.
Provide something really unique on your site. This will be great deal of traffic towards your site as people search for this product.
Make effective use of email for marketing your business.Your goal is to give subscribers the feeling that your emails are useful to them, but rather as if they are receiving something of value. With an email newsletter, you can stay in touch with past customers, and make him or her feel welcome to return to your website.
Always make it a point to provide helpful answers to questions that your guests may have. People visit your site seeking knowledge, and if you can't provide it to them, then chances are they will not be with you very long. Providing your viewers with detailed information satisfies them and will make it so they may buy from you.
Always be cognizant of what your main competitors are doing. You can easily look at the competition's web site to see the features they might have. You can also be able to find out what their traffic is like and that will show you how well your own site is doing.
This will help new visitors understand what your company is all about. This will help you to highlight a specific product or service.
Always utilize signatures when you email others, even if the email is only personal. This is your business card in the cyber-world, only printed on pixels instead of on paper. By including your signature, you are more likely to gain increased traffic and profits.
While it might seem like a good way to reach many people, those posts won't have the positive effect you desire.If you do not personally connect with your customers, your potential customers could be turned off by your generic messages.
A CRM (customer relationship management) list is a great Online marketing. Use it to pinpoint past and current customers and their respective purchase history. You can customize communications to gear them towards products related to past purchases or things that may interest these customers.
You can anticipate more business if you have more payment options. While it might seem okay to just offer credit cards as a method of payment, a lot of people actually prefer to pay through online systems such as Paypal.
Use headlines on your site and articles. These should be catchy and showcase products sold at your own site. You may even forgo the headline altogether and add a graphic of what you're trying to sell.Graphics can often times seem more professional than a simple headline.
This will be very helpful for both your customers and competitors.
It might seem useful to have 256 different social media accounts, but if you can't give them each plenty of time to seem active, it won't do any good.Profiles that have not been updated recently are often seen as spam.
Provide offers of your website. One easy freebie to offer that gets good results is a downloadable article that focuses on your area of business expertise. Or, offer printable coupons, you could also offer up some helpful tips and guidelines for losing weight.This type of freebie shows customers that you are concerned about their needs and want to assist them.
Consider using the words like "easy" and "simple" in your Web marketing strategy. This is a wonderful way to increase business.
It's important to let your website visitors that your e-commerce system is totally secure. People are often not willing to give you their information on the net, so let customers know their personal information is secure.
Keep tabs on the most common words used in your niche, and incorporate the vocabulary utilized in those conversations into your own marketing strategies.Using terms that your customers are already comfortable with will make people feel like you to reach them and their needs.
Inform potential customers of what the advantages that your products can offer them. The more enthusiastic you are about your product and about how it can benefit your customers, and increase the likelihood that they will want to make a purchase.
This enables you to build up your brand recognition. Use good descriptive words such as 'relief' and "security".
Have special promotions or events and see people flock to your site.You could offer for a day or more sale on a specific e-book. They may leave with more than just the e-book if they find something else of interest on your sale item as well as other items in their cart.
Consider the type of structure and information that people will look for when they come to your customers. If you are able to provide them more of what they are interested in and what brought them to their search to begin with, you will make more sales and move more product. Ask for opinions that are objective analysis of your website. You may ask friends to comment and give you their opinion.
Even though your business activities may be quite modest now, you can apply these strategies to enhance your foundation and reach bigger goals. Keep on going! Always keep learning and trying new things until you surpass your own goals. We wish you well on your venture.

Today, in the United States, we are so used to sugar being present in the foods and drinks that we consume daily. The overabundance of sugar present in modern consumption has contributed to a public health crisis and sugar has now garnered a negative reputation.[1] Although our contemporary view of sugar differs drastically from when sugar was first introduced to Europe, there is one important similarity that remains. Sugar is an extremely effective medium to convey to others one's power and wealth, because of its visual and consumptive properties. Visually, sugar is easy to mold as evident in the elaborate decorative displays in both the past (e.g. subtleties) and the present (e.g. wedding cakes). Moreover, because these intricate displays are edible, guests acknowledged the power and wealth of the host by consuming the sugar displays.[2]
Sugar was first introduced to Europe around 1100 A.D. and was grouped together with other spices like pepper and ginger.[3] All of these spices were extremely expensive because of how rare they were and only the wealthy were able to afford them. By the fifteen century, sugar imports increased because the wealthy class demand for sugar was increasing, not because sugar had percolated downward to the common class. As a result, sugar became an important part of the Triangular Trade between the Americas, Europe, and Africa.[4] By the sixteenth century, sugar started to be consumed in a different form: as decoration.
First and foremost, sugar is able to be visually impressive because of its chemical properties. Sugar easily combines with other food components like almond oil, rice, and different gums. Anthropologist Sidney Mintz describes sugar's properties in his book Sweetness and Power, "The important feature of these [sugar] recipes is that the resulting pastes were used to sculpture forms—forms having an aesthetic aspect but also preservable and edible."[5] Because sugar could be molded in such a way, the practice of using sugar as a decoration began to spread from North Africa to Europe. Initially, because only the extremely wealthy, like the royalty, could afford sugar in Europe, they were the only ones who could afford to have sugar decorations at their meals. These people included the king, the nobility, the knighthood, and the church. Sugar was combined with other substances like oil and vegetable gums to make a "plastic, claylike substance." Confectioners could then sculpt grand displays out of this claylike substance, which were called "subtleties." These subtleties were served in between banquets and took the forms of animals, objects, buildings, and more.[6]
Because sugar was so limited and expensive during this time period, subtleties essentially emphasized someone's wealth. Not only were the extremely wealthy able to hoard and consume sugar in their daily lives, they were able to explicitly convey their wealth to others by commissioning grand subtleties. Being able to convey one's wealth with different symbols has always been a feature of the elite, from clothing to language.[7] In this case, subtleties became a new way for someone to convey their wealth to others. Essentially, sugar allowed the wealthy to be in-your-face about their wealth.
Additionally, what makes sugar particularly effective at being a symbol of wealth is because subtleties are edible and, in most cases, meant to be eaten by guests. This property is unique because a lot of physical displays of wealth are physically impressive as in the case of clothing or items molded in silver. However, there are not many edible displays of such grandeur. Furthermore, the edible nature of the subtleties meant that the displays were not meant to last for a long time, compared to items like expensive clothing and silver. Subtleties were often presented at banquets in between courses, destroyed, and then eaten by the guests. In this way, hosts were able to showcase not only that they were able to afford to commission this piece of art but to also destroy it. In turn, guests would be wowed by these sculptures and then would have to accept the host's wealth by consuming the sugar. Mintz describes this symbolism, "To be able to provide one's guests with attractive food, which also embodied in display the host's wealth, power, and status, must have been a special pleasure for the sovereign. By eating these strange symbols of his power, his guests validated that power."[8]
As time passed, sugar became less and less exclusive. By the late sixteenth century, subtleties expanded between the extremely wealthy classes like the merchant class. This is evident in that subtlety recipes began to appear in cookbooks, so it was no longer an exclusive practice for the select few.[9]
Even though today, sugar is abundant and present in everything we eat, displays of sugar are still common in the form of different desserts. For example, wedding cakes can become tremendously expensive depending on how grand the couple wants their cake to be. Thus, subtleties are not necessarily items relegated to the past and instead, are still relevant today as a display of wealth and grandeur.

Abstract: Carbon nitride has attracted extensive attention because of its promising properties and great application potential in photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, bioimaging and biomedicine. In this work, carbon nitride with a novel morphology, i.e., tetragonal carbon nitride hollow tube (TCNT), was in-situ synthesized by a molten salt method at 450°C using melamine as the starting precursor. As-prepared TCNTs were 2-20 μm long and 50-2000 nm wide and possessed higher content of impurity nitrogen and larger specific surface area than conventional bulk g-C3N4 (B-CN). A possible salt-assisted self-assembly mechanism is believed to have dominated the formation of TCNTs. As-prepared TCNTs exhibited superior photocatalytic activities and adsorption performance for methylene blue and phenol degradation to B-CN, suggesting that they could be potentially used as a promising photocatalyst and adsorbent.

Abstract: Hierarchical porous N-doped carbon submicrospheres (HPNCs) are synthesized at 1000°C by a facile molten salt method using diaminomaleonitrile as a precursor, iron trichloride as a catalyst, and ZnCl2-KCl to form the molten salt medium. The results indicated that the pore structure of resultant HPNCs could be tuned by changing the amount of iron catalyst, and those prepared with adding 7.1 wt% FeCl3·6H2O showed the highest specific surface area (3155 m2/g) and largest hierarchical pore volume (2.2 cm3/g) with micropore and mesopore surface areas of 808 m2/g and 2347 m2/g, respectively, in addition to their high mesopore ratio up to 84.4%. The resultant HPNCs showed outstanding specific capacitance up to 455 F/g in 6M KOH electrolyte solution at a current density of 0.5 A/g, a considerably high energy density of 93.6 Wh/kg and high capacitance retention of 95% after 5000 cycles. Moreover, they exhibited high adsorption capacities of 812.2 mg/g and 805.2 mg/g, for methylene blue and methyl orange adsorption, respectively, and high CO2 adsorption capacity of 3.4 mmol/g at 25°C and at an equilibrium pressure of 1 bar.

Energy Minister Hamid Chitchian said on Saturday that Iran is ready to connect its power grid with Europe's electricity network.
Speaking with the Energy Charter Treaty's Secretary-General Urban Rusnak in Tehran, Chitchian called for facilitating measures to boost energy relations between European and regional countries, Mehr News Agency reported.
The Energy Charter Treaty is an international legally binding agreement that establishes a multilateral framework for cross-border cooperation in the energy industry. The treaty covers all aspects of commercial energy activitie,s including trade, transit, investments and energy efficiency.
"Given Iran's high potential in the energy sector, its power grid can easily be connected to that of European countries if they show eagerness," Chitchian said, adding that Iran currently has power exchange deals with seven neighboring states.
According to the minister, Iran's share of electricity exports (11 gigawatt-hours) is more than its imports (4 GWh).
As per the agreement, the power grids of Iran and Russia will connect via Armenia and Georgia.
"Iran and Armenia are currently connected by two electricity lines, the third of which is being established to help materialize the prospective Iran-Russia power line," he said.
Chitchian also said Azerbaijan has agreed that another Iran-Russia power line would bypass the country. "Iran has held negotiations on setting up subsea electricity cable lines with at least two southern neighboring countries," he added.
Subsea Power Plans
Houshang Falahatian, deputy energy minister, earlier commented on the issue and said talks have been held with Persian Gulf littoral states, including the UAE and Oman.
He added that the project's first stage encompasses power delivery to the UAE's Abu Dhabi.
Rusnak also said electricity ties between different countries is essential, as they improve network management and load balancing, especially during peak hours.
On Iran-Europe power relations, he stressed that if the Energy Charter receives a proposal from Iran, it will study the Persian Gulf country's needs and prospects to help find a European partner and start negotiations on the issue.
Underscoring that European countries are intent on establishing electricity ties with other countries, Rusnak said as the prices of electricity are very cheap in central and northern Europe, with more comprehensive data on Iran's power market, the organization will make efforts to join the two sides.
Nominal power generation capacity stands at around 74,000 MW nationwide, with 61,000 MW coming from thermal power plants, 12,000 MW from hydroelectric plants and only 1,000 MW from nuclear power.
