Within but Without
Embossed Publication, 200 x 240mm
A tactile response to Adolf Loo's essay, The Ornament of Crime, through the experience of getting robbed in London. Moving beyond the usual discourse of form and function of the stolen object, a bag, the publication explores the various sentiments and intangible attachments one forms with material goods. Retracing conversations and the events that unfolded after the crime, one is taken through the lifespan of the bag; from its birth (explained in a interview with British bag makers, Alfie Douglas) to its time of use and the eventual loss, revealing the process of value creation.

Since most common jobs in investment banking pay less than they used to, the appeal of the job is lessening. Junior bankers work extensive hours with no way to keep up the extra duties that got them the banking job in the first place. Although investment banking has waned, there are still other positions that earn much greater benefits than they might deserve.
Though it may seem all well and good, there's also a downside. Constant flying can be a detriment to your health, the politics are nonstop, and the job comes with loads of stress. "My Wall Street was an endless-seeming succession of late nights, ruled by the demands of clients and bosses," said William Cohan, former J.P. Morgan MD, in a Bloomberg article. With constant travel, Cohan said he was always in a state of panic, constantly running from one meeting to another and hoping for a chief executive to pick up his deal.
As a senior banker, there are no off days. Junior bankers are now able to report bad senior bankers, and senior bankers are rarely awarded days to themselves.2. Mid-ranking sales role
As customers are being steered toward direct market access systems, the need for human intervention and sales staff is deteriorating.
In the UK, the German Deutsche Bank is a perfect example of this. The bank has encouraged low volume clients that have simple demands to access the market on their own, employing only 'low touch' traders and customer service pros to deal with them in Birmingham. Banks like J.P. Morgan and Nomura are following a similar suit. As a result, unless you have worked to gather yourself some important, 'high touch' clients, your job in sales may be a thing of the past. Even obtaining these high touch clients can be an incredibly difficult task.
"Since 2008, there's been less natural upwards movement in sales," a prior saleswoman from Goldman Sachs said. Because senior bankers seem to hold on to major accounts, she explained that it has become important for junior business men and women to build their own client base.
Building a client base from the ground up has become an increasingly difficult task, and if you do land a new client the amount of work required for them to become a potential counter-party is excessive.
Structured product salespeople creating modified solutions are protected from the move away from 'low touch' clients because their clients are, by-definition, high-touch. However, even these people still face issues having to deal with politics and administration.
3. Relationship management in private banking
Though private banking isn't exactly investment banking, it's great for those tired of their investment banking careers. However, private banking can oftentimes be more draining than in M&A.
Along with the fact that relationship managers are expected to bring in heavy assets, banks are now expected to vet private clients and ensure everything is done to standard, making first time paperwork with a client a lengthy process.

Over the span of his six-decade career, Ed Ruscha (b. 1937) has created a distinctively stylized vision of the modern American landscape of gas stations, highways, and industrial buildings. Incorporating text, stark typography, and commercial logos, the artist's multivalent images both portray and interrogate the contemporary world's relentlessly packaged environment. By placing Ruscha's celebrated Course of Empire—a ten-painting installation originally created for the 2005 Venice Biennale—in dialogue with Thomas Cole's five-picture cycle The Course of Empire from the 1830s, this catalogue offers a fresh perspective on each of these disparate masterpieces. Unlike Cole's grandiose vision of the rise and fall of classical civilization, Ruscha's work comprises five black-and-white Los Angeles landscapes made in 1992 paired with color representations of the same sites as they appeared ten years later and draws attention to how often-overlooked changes in the evolving urban landscape are redolent of economic might and globalization or decline and stagnation.
Christopher Riopelle is the Neil Westreich Curator of Post-1800 Paintings and Daniel F. Herrmann is curator of special projects, both at the National Gallery, London. Tom McCarthy is a British writer and artist.

Sydney Theatre Company (STC) has unveiled designs for a $60 million redevelopment by Hassell, after receiving a $30-million funding windfall from the NSW government.
The redevelopment will be the first significant upgrade for Sydney Theatre Company in more than 30 years since it moved to its home in the Walsh Bay Wharves precinct in 1984. The Wharf Theatre at Pier 4/5 was originally adapted from a turn-of-the-century timber cargo wharf building by architect Vivian Fraser in association with the NSW Government Architect (J. Thomson). In 1985, the project was the jointly awarded the Sulman Medal, the NSW chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects' highest accolade for public architecture – along with Glenn Murcutt's Zachary Restaurant. It also received the 25 Year Award for Enduring Architecture in 2008.
The redevelopment will modernize the theatre spaces in the Wharf 1 and 2 building with flexible seating, in accordance with the original vision of Sydney Theatre Company's first artistic director Richard Wherrett. The upgrades will enhance the theatre watching experience. "More flexible theatre spaces will allow STC's work to more easily transfer to other venues, and to reach broader audiences," said STC in a statement on its website. "We anticipate the Wharf Renewal Project will afford STC an increased ability to tour work internationally, nationally and regionally."
Additional works will include new foyer spaces, rest rooms, upgraded administrative offices, two new accessible public entrances and a more welcoming entry point on Hickson Road. The ceiling in the workshop will also be raised to allow the company to build larger theatre sets.
The redevelopment project is part of $139-million project to redevelop the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct. In April 2016, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer was appointed to design the project, which included upgraded spaces for the Australian Theatre for Young People, Bangarra Dance Company, a new 450-seat auditorium for the Australian Chamber Orchestra, and a new waterfront square between two piers.
The NSW arts minister Don Harwin announced a total of $68 million additional funding for the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct transformation, of which $30 million will be allocated to Sydney Theatre Company and the remaining funding for the rest of the precinct.
Sydney Theatre Company will match the government funding dollar for dollar in private donations for its redevelopment project.
The design of the precinct will be adapted to include the Sydney Theatre Company project.
The facilities will be closed for renovations in 2018 and is expect to reopen in 2019.
The project team includes Hassell (architect), Tropman and Tropman Architects (heritage architect), Charcoalblue (theatre consultant), Arup (building services, fire engineering, sustainable design), Taylor Thomson Whitting (engineer) and MBM (quantity surveyor).

We DO NOT use any other inspection devises apart from when asked for hallmarks where we use a magnifying glass if needed. Buyers must be aware that a sale by auction is still basically a trade sale and to be sure they should really attend the sale and inspect the items themselves.

10 MAPs Get Order To Provide Meters In Kaduna, Lagos
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has issued permits to 10 Meter Asset Providers to supply meters to power consumers in Lagos and Kaduna states.
According to NERC, the 10 MAPs are to supply meters to electricity consumers in the franchise areas of Eko Electricity Distribution Company and Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company.
The commission said on Thursday that the permits were issued in accordance with section 4(3) of the MAP Regulations-NERC-R-112 of 2018, to MAPs that were successful in the procurements conducted by KEDC and EKEDC.
It stated that Section 4(3) of the MAP Regulation 2018 required all electricity distribution licensees to engage MAPs that would assist, as investors, in closing the metering gap and thus eliminate the practice of estimated billing in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry.
NERC said KEDC had appointed Crest Hill Engineering Limited, Holley Metering Limited, Integrated Power Nigeria Limited and Mojec International Limited.
"EKEDC has appointed Armese Consulting Limited, Bendoricks Integrated Limited, CIG Metering Assets Nigeria Limited, Gospel Digital Technology, Integrated Resources Limited, Mojec International Limited and Turbo Energy Limited to provide meters within its respective franchise under MAP," the commission stated in a statement issued in Abuja.
NERC had directed that the rollout of meters should commence no later than May 1, 2019.

Michael Budkie, executive director of Stop Animal Exploitation Now (SAEN), filed an official complaint against Emory University on Sept. 18. The complaint was submitted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and referenced two "negligent" primate deaths at Emory's Yerkes National Primate Center in March.
SAEN considered these deaths as "clear violations of the Animal Welfare Act," according to the complaint.
Emory reported the first of this year's primate deaths in March. "The cause of death was determined to be traumatic injuries as a result of fighting with the incorrect social group into which the monkey was placed," Budkie wrote in the complaint.
Emory Vice President for Research Administration David Wynes wrote to NIH Director in Division Compliance Oversight Axel Wolff concerning this year's second primate death.
An 11-month-old rhesus macaque had undergone a tattooing procedure for identification purposes and was held down by a rubber band tied around its wrists, Wynes wrote. The rubber band was left on its wrists and its neurological health declined over the next two months, until the primate was ultimately euthanized on March 10, according to Wynes.
Rubber bands will no longer be used to restrain animals, Wynes wrote as a resolution.
The responsible technician has been subjected to discipline; tattooing procedures and technical training will continue to evolve, he added.
Emory's Yerkes National Primate Research Center is one of only seven National Institutes of Health-Designated National Primate Research Centers, according to the Center's website.
The Center is also home to approximately 3,200 nonhuman primates used in biomedical and behavioral research to improve the health and well-being of humans and animals, according to the website.
The Center has maintained full accreditation from the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC) for 32 years.
However, in 2012, an incident caused People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to file a complaint against Emory University — similar to SAEN's recent complaint.
Emory should be charged with a repeat violation, Budkie suggested.
He advised that the most severe measures be pursued: a forfeit of $10,000 per infraction, he wrote.
"Emory staff have the unique distinction of finding a way to kill a monkey with a rubber band," Budkie wrote in a recent press release. "Emory staff is so ridiculously incompetent that they can't even remember which cage the monkeys come from," he wrote. "If they can't do basic things like returning a monkey to the correct cage, then why should we believe that they can do science?"
The Center "regrets the deaths of two of our research monkeys," Director of Yerkes Public Affairs Lisa Newbern stated in an email to the Wheel.
"In both instances, we worked with Emory's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) to investigate the circumstances related to the incidents, review our procedures and implement additional safeguards, including rewriting standard operating procedures and training documents and training staff in the newly implemented protocols to prevent any similar occurrences," Newbern wrote. "Should the USDA or OLAW make any additional recommendations, we will implement those immediately to further improve our animal care practices."
SAEN has revealed several animal abuses across nine major research laboratories throughout the United States, according to its website.
The organization continues to reveal abuses on rabbits, dogs and primates.

Silva off to Japan
Bigfoot is heading to the land of the Rising Sun to do battle in Sengouku. Bloody Elbow opines that:
Its just not fair to Silva to ask that he sit out a year when everyone agrees that the CSAC was screwing up left and right when they suspended him.
Of course, there's another angle on this, that Silva's management had knowledge of how screwed up the Commission was, and knew they had little leverage even if the evidence against Silva was strong, given the shitstorm that was about to hit them in re Armando Garcia. I haven't seen any of the testing evidence regarding Silva, and the assertions of innocence are just that, assertions. He DID have a hearing, and he DID agree to be bound by the CSAC's decisions by acquiring a fighter's license in California. However fucked up the commission may be, they're still the governing body.
All that said, I'm still on Silva's side in this. I hope he can get a few fights in Japan, serve out his CA suspension, face the music, and pay a fine like Vitor did. Silva's an excellent fighter, and I'd love to see him fighting a variety of heavyweights, either in the UFC or in Affliction.
Also, what's with his giant-face? Is it some kind of (er) affliction? Most dudes with that face are between 8' to 15' tall. He's big, at 6'3", but not massive like an NBA center.

Proud Crock Pot Owner
Who enjoyed their extra hour of sleep? I know I did! A lazy Sunday morning and my rest day from Insanity called for a good breakfast.
French toast with Great Harvest Oat Bran bread. Topped with pumpkin dip:
1/4 cup pumpkin
1 TB Mighty Maple PB&Co
1 tsp maple syrup
2 TB almond milk
Pumpkin pie spice
I had planned to spend all morning reading, but instead I decided it was time to take the plunge and register for my own blog domain. When I started my blog, I wanted to make sure that I was going to keep up with it before I went all in. But this is my 71st post so I decided I wanted to take my blog to the next level so to speak. It's a work in progress. I purchased the domain name and transferred all of my files but I am having trouble with the remapping part. I will hopefully get everything figured out by the end of the week! If anyone is super tech savvy and wants to lend a hand… email me! (firstname.lastname@example.com)
After a few frustrating hours fiddling with the blog and being on hold with godaddy… it was time for a much-needed break.
Despite my not so good first impression with the local Pinkberry, I decided to give it another go.I was going to get pumpkin again but I decided I needed to be more adventurous… so I got a sample of the new holiday peppermint flavor. I was floored. I am not normally a peppermint fan, but this was probably the best frozen yogurt ever! It was tangy and minty all at once.
At the recommendation of my server I went with peppermint and chocolate swirl topped with granola, chocolate shavings, and peppermint bark. I ate slowly (which is rare) so I could savor every bite. I could go for another right now!
While I was out I swung by Bed, Bath, and Beyond for this baby.
I had been wanting one for a while so I used one of the infamous 20% off a single item coupon and got this for 25 bucks. Score! Now I can start making all of the crock pot recipes I have bookmarked.
Next stop, HEB for groceries!
Light coconut milk, beets (my new weird obsession), roasted red peppers (more hummus is in my future), diced jalepenos, and salsa picante.
I went a little crazy in the yogurt buying department last week. Just needed one of my favorites: Key Lime Pie! I am loving the So Delicious Coconut Creamer. I wanted to try the hazelnut after reading Brittany's rav review, but they were sold out.
5 for 5 Lara Bars?! They seem to be going down in price every week. Last week was 4 for 5… I stuck mostly with the tried and true. Ginger Snap is my experimental flavor of the week.
Chicken and cheese for my first Crock Pot experiment.
Lots of produce! Fall veggies are some of my favorites. Spinach, butternut squash, cauliflower, onions, asparagus, eggplant, red bell pepper and a plastic bag (full of cilantro).
After stocking up on food, I was excited to get busy in the kitchen. Dinner tonight was delicious.
Tofu and eggplant curry soup. It was chock full of veggies and definitely packed some heat. Recipe coming soon!
Time to give my eyes a rest. I feel like I have been staring at the screen all day. My bed and book are calling my name.
Question: What is the first thing I should make in my Crock Pot?
Boots and Butterfingers
Oh Saturday, I am sad you are almost over… but I am looking forward to my extra hour of sleep!
A picture recap of my day…
Finally used up the rest of my apples from over a month ago! Applesauce for every meal:)
Homemade butterfingers… Thanks for the amazing recipe Averie!
Clean out the fridge style lunch: Eggs with feta and roasted red peppers, cauliflower mash, and Great Harvest bread with pumpkin butter.
Sweet fashion accessory. I am setting trends:) Only one page so far. I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't go off tonight.
Finally cool enough to break out the boots!
But not too cold for ice cream from the Chocolate Bar. I love when you can mix flavors in a small! Pumpkin white chocolate and rocky road…thumbs up.
Inspiration for next year's Halloween goodies. It came in a real pizza box! And was 50% off. I guess it would be weird to bring this to a party in November?
Best purchase at the Chantal warehouse sale. I am in love with this color.
I hope your Saturday was a blast!
I wanted to leave you with a fun survey from Entertainment Weekly.
Question: What is your favorite Leonardo DiCaprio Movie?
The results from the mag survey:
Inception 24%
The Departed 23%
Titanic 15%
Catch me if you can 13 %
What's Eating Gilbert Grape 7%
Romeo and Juliet 7%
Blood Diamond 6%
The Aviator 5%
I think I am going to have to go with the minority on this one. I love Blood Diamond. It is one of my favorite movies ever.
Hanging with Miss Green M&M
I have been looking forward to the weekend all week.
No I am not going on a trip.
Or running a marathon.
Or going to a great new bar.
I am excited because I have no plans at all! Unless you count being on pager duty for work. Yes, by company still uses pagers. I feel so cool. As I have probably mentioned before, I work at a refinery in the environmental section. Everyone gets assigned 6 or 7 weeks each year where we are "on call." We get to rock the sweet pager and answer any environmental emergency questions that may come up. Getting woken up at 3 am to talk about potential chemical releases is such a blast… not. But this week (knock on wood), I haven't gotten any pages yet!
Ryan is in Vegas with some of his friends for a big car show. I miss him like crazy, but part of me is excited for some me time! No crazy plane trips and snow storms this weekend.
I got home from work and immediately put on my PJ pants… when it was still light out!
So what am I going to do with my free weekend? I was super excited to pick up the new Jennifer Weiner book I had put on hold at the library. Until I went to pick it up, and realized I had reserved the wrong one! It was one I had already read. Ultimate fail. So I decided to go to "Lindsay's library" aka my bookshelves full of things I have never read. I came across this one. By the same author as Prep, one of my favorite books!
If I can finish this by November 15, I can participate in book club over at Julie's blog.
This showed up in the mail today. My brother and I absolutely love the Muppets so I can't wait to read this article. And the new character in the next movie is named Walter… which is my lil brother's name!
Hope to read a bit of this as well. I am going to be a food trivia master by the time I finish! A random fact for you: Christopher Columbus's mother in law worked at a sugar plantation. He can be credited for bringing sugar on America!
With all my reading material, I will need some fuel.
I love the post holiday candy sales. It was hard to find plain candy corn! I had to go to three different stores! The package on the right is pumpkin pie flavored… it is a bit less sweet and has great spice. Its at Target if you feel the need to pick some up! They also had blood orange and caramel.
I also can't wait to do some baking. I have a bunch of recipes I want to try out. I stocked up on some essentials.
My favorite baking PB. In the biggest jar I could find. This is going to be awesome for a jumbo oats in a jar!
Finally found the big can of pumpkin!
I love that Nestle Semi-Sweet morsels are now artificial flavor free.
And to keep me company: Miss Green M&M
Looking sassy for fall in her cowboy boots.
And all bundled up for winter. I am super excited for this new cinnamon flavor. I have some fun baking ideas I want to try with these!
Speaking of baking, I just signed up for the Great Cookie Swap. It's a blogger cookie swap. I can't wait to participate… I encourage all of you to check it out. Who wouldn't want 3 dozen holiday cookies?
Time to get caught up on my DVR'ed episodes of Cupcake Wars and DC cupcakes.
Question: What is your favorite flavor of M&M? I love almond M&Ms but they are sometimes hard to find. Peanut butter is my second favorite. I am also still loving the candy corn ones🙂
Its the start of Insanity!
On Halloween I started a 2 month challenge. I will get to spend every morning with this guy in my living room.
I will be wearing my new kicks (Asics Gel-Iperas)
I will be jumping around ungracefully while trying not to slip on my sweat that has dripped onto the living room floor.
Yes, you may call it Insanity.
I have never tried a DVD workout program before. But I have been feeling in a workout rut lately so I decided why not? For those of you who haven't seen the infomercials with the infamous Shaun T, let me give you Insanity in a nutshell.
Insanity is a 2 month workout programs. You work out 6 days a week doing mostly plyometric exercises. Every 2 weeks you take a "fit test" which consists of doing as many repetitions as possible of 8 different moves, each for one minute. There is also an optional eating plan that goes with the workout portion.
So why am I doing this program? I am very competitive and love challenges, even against myself. My inner nerd loved the idea of tracking the fit test results in a spreadsheet and being able to see percent improvement. Yea, I'm a engineer, what can I say? I also love that for the next two months, I don't have to think about my workouts. I may add in some additional exercise such as pilates or easy bike rides, but I will play it by ear. Since my goal is not to lose weight, but rather to improve my fitness, I am not following the eating plan.
Here are the results of my first fit test.
Fit Test 1
|Switch Kicks
|Power Jacks
|Power Knees
|Power Jumps
|Globe Jumps
|Suicide Jumps
|Push-Up Jacks
|Low Plank Oblique
I can't wait for the final test on January 1. I figure it will be a great way to ring in the New Year (provided my numbers improve)!
4 days in and so far so good! I have been doing the workouts in the morning. I love being free after work. I feel like I have gained so much free time! My legs are quite sore, but in a good way.
I'll be doing periodic updates. Now it's time to get caught up on the Office! I wasn't a big fan of the Halloween episode. I hope tonight's is better.
Question: Have you ever tried a DVD workout program?
Shopping at the Skymall
During my all day flying extravaganza on Sunday, I had a lot of time for reading. I read 3 magazines almost cover to cover. Self, Health, and Food Network magazine. I only skipped over the hair and makeup sections. Yea, I am the biggest tomboy. My eyes just gloss over when I start reading about new ways to style my hair or apply foundation. I am a proud member of the ponytail and minimal makeup club. I can shower and be out the door in 10 minutes. I normally get ready faster than Ryan!
Anyhow, back to my plane reading. After the three magazines and about half of my book (What Einstein told his Cook), I dug the Skymall catalog out of the seat pocket. Skymall never ceases to amaze me. Its kind of like QVC of Pinterest. You discover things that you never even knew existed, yet somehow you suddenly need them. I normally leave the Skymall catalog on the plane for fear of random purchases:)
I wanted to share some of my favorites that I found. All of the images are from the Skymall website. Don't go there unless you want to waste some serious time:)
1. Protein Ketchup
This one ounce serving of ketchup has two servings of tomatoes and 15 g of protein. At $1.43 a cup, I don't think I'll be switching to this condiment anytime soon. Does anyone else think that this is taking the "protein" craze a bit too far. It seems like everything can come fortified with protein now! While I do use protein powder, I prefer to get my protein from natural sources: meat, eggs, legumes, dairy, nuts etc.
2. Mustache Mirror
How fun would this be in your bathroom? This would make mornings so much more fun! I personally am a fan of the handlebar one in the center.
3. Pierogi Ornament
Nothing says Merry Christmas quite like potatoes and pasta! One of my mom's quick weeknight meals growing up was Mrs. T's pierogis. They were so delicious with sautéed onions and peppers. I used to go to a Polish festival in Scranton, PA. The homemade pierogis were out of this world!
4. Universal Skate Sail
This sail can be used to "speed your way to fun, exercise, and fitness." I'm not sure how much exercise you would get if you were being pulled along by the wind… but it could be fun to try out. Doesn't look like this snowboarder is getting to far:)
5. Touchless sensor toilet seats
Are people really that lazy that they would spend $160 for a toilet seat with a sensor? This toilet lid will raise as you approach and the seat will raise if you wave your arm. Then both will close 30 seconds after you walk away. I think friendly reminders or maybe a sticky note would do the trick?
Now, because of this post I have the Skymall catalog in my kitchen. Lets hope I don't make any random purchases!
Question: Do you read the Skymall catalog when you are on a plane? Have you ever bought anything?
WIAW: Apple Cranberry Crisp 2
Happy 11/1/11! At the doctor today, I had so much fun writing this date over and over. I can't wait for 11/11/11 in 10 days.
Things to look forward to in November
1. "Falling back (yay for light in the morning and an extra hour of sleep)!
2. Starting the Insanity challenge (I am 2 days in so far and I can tell that the title is no lie).
3. Ryan and my one year dating anniversary
4. My half-birthday (Feel free to send half a cake :))
5. Thanksgiving
6. Starting the month with a party…. a WIAW party to be exact.
This week I decided to bring an apple cranberry crisp. It's rude to come to a party empty-handed!
Yes, I know its November and Halloween is over. I should already be moving on to Christmas like every store in America. But I am going to hang on to my towels a few days longer ok?
Head on over to Peas and Crayons to check out all of the other eats and to join the party yourself! And thank Jenn too!
I tried out a new variety of oats this morning: Silver Palate Thick and Rough Oatmeal. It was on sale at the grocery store this weekend so I decided to give it a try. I cooked in on the stove with 1 % milk, water, and a mashed banana. Then I stirred in some pumpkin and topped with chunky peanut butter (salvaged from the broken glass), cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie spice. It was utterly delicious. Perfect start to November! I need to try these new oats a few more times before I decide if they are better than my beloved Quaker:)
I made another turkey loaf… just so I could continue with my turkey loaf salad beasts! I topped a bowl (Tupperware) of spinach with roasted sweet potatoes, canned beets, and turkey loaf. Now I just need to make some more homemade hummus and I will officially be in salad heaven.
I made a recipe for dinner that I spotted on Eat, Live, Run for baked polenta with mushrooms, gorgonzola, and tomato sauce. I subbed feta for the gorgonzola since I am not a huge blue cheese lover. I also added some Italian chicken sausage. It was so quick to throw together! I tossed the chopped sausage in a grill pan while the water for the polenta was boiling. Layer everything in a dish and cook for 45 minutes! I will definitely be making this one again.
I definitely went back for seconds!
Humongous Honeycrisp apple! On sale by my parents for 99 cents a pound at a local farm. I made sure to grab a few. They were in my suitcase that got lost... luckily I got it back yesterday! Is it bad that I was more sad about possibly losing my bag of apples instead of my clothes?
It is my mission to recreate this Lara Bar flavor. The lime flavor is so intense! According to the ingredients, it's from lime concentrate. I think this goes into the top flavors along with peanut butter cookie and chocolate coconut.
Apple crisp is my favorite fall dessert… well maybe it's tied with pumpkin pie. This was always the first dessert that my mom made after apple picking. She always stocks up on cranberries so she can whip up a crisp any time of the year. This past weekend when I was home I think she had 7 packages in the freezer! The first time I set out to make this apple crisp, I couldn't find fresh cranberries… so I modified the recipe to include dried cranberries.
But now we are in the middle of cranberry season! So here is the "original" crisp recipe.
Apple Cranberry Crisp 2
This is my favorite fall dessert. The tart cranberries literally burst in your mouth. The cloves add another layer of spice. This makes a perfect dessert with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of plain yogurt. This would also make a delicious breakfast!
Serves: 4-5
Prep Time:10 minutes
Bake Time: 35 minutes
6 oz cranberries (1/2 package)
3 small apples, cored and thinly sliced
3 Tb sugar
1 Tb flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 cup oats
1 Tb flour
1 Tb brown sugar
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1.5 Tb melted butter
Preheat oven to 375 F. Mix all filling ingredients and spoon into baking dish or individual ramekins.
Combine topping ingredients and crumble on top. Bake for 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Enjoy in a mug,
On a plate (with some seasonal M&Ms)
Or maybe just grab your spoon and dig into the serving dish! Who wants to clean an extra plate?
While I prefered this crisp with fresh cranberries, Ryan found it a bit too tart. He like the version with dried cranberries better.
Question: Are you a fan of cranberries? Do you prefer them fresh or dry?

Finding the Right Wheelchair for Your Parent
At first glance, purchasing a wheelchair for an older adult may seem like a fairly simple thing. A family caregiver just goes to a medical supply store and buys one, right? Not so fast. There are a lot of different kinds of wheelchairs to choose from as well as accessories. Which one is right for your family member depends on their particular needs. Choosing the right wheelchair can make the senior more comfortable and can also make the job of being a family caregiver a little easier.
Kinds of Wheelchairs
First, there are two main kinds of wheelchairs: manual and motorized. Motorized wheelchairs are more expensive than manual wheelchairs. Most older adults use manual wheelchairs, but a doctor can help you decide if a motorized chair would be better.
If you decide on a manual wheelchair, there are many kinds to choose from, such as:
-Standard: Standard wheelchairs are the most common kind. They have large back wheels and smaller front wheels. They can be pushed by an older adult if they have adequate upper body strength, or a caregiver can push the chair for them using the handles in the back.
-Lightweight: Lightweight wheelchairs are similar to standard chairs except that they weigh less, usually between 25 and 40 pounds. The advantage of lightweight chairs is that they are easier to lift in and out of a car and work well for people who travel.
-Tilt/Recliner: This kind of wheelchair has a back that reclines, making it useful for people who need at least two people to help them from the chair to another surface, like the bed or toilet.
-Transport Chairs: A transport chair has small wheels in the back and front, so it cannot be propelled by the older adult; it must be pushed by a caregiver. They are useful in indoor settings but don't work well outdoors.
There are lots of accessories caregivers can purchase to make the wheelchair more comfortable. Some accessories to consider are:
- Seat cushions.
- Cushioned backrests.
- Arm pads.
- Seatbelts.
- Wheels designed for the snow or the beach.
- Removable Headrests.
Does Medicare Pay for Wheelchairs?
If your aging relative has Medicare Part B, a wheelchair may be at least partially covered. The wheelchair must be medically necessary, so the doctor will have to provide a written order for it. If Medicare approves the wheelchair, it is paid at 80 percent of the Medicare-approved amount after the senior's yearly deductible is met. To find out more about how Medicare coverage for wheelchairs works, visit medicare.gov or contact a Medicare representative.

study published in the April 12, 2018 edition of PLOS One found that too much time spent sitting was correlated with an unhealthy "thinning" of the brain tissue holding memories . And, it may not make a difference how active you are when you're not sitting. "We found that sedentary behavior, but not [levels of] physical activity, was associated with less thickness of the medial temporal lobe," a brain region that's crucial to the formation of new memories, explained a team led by Prabha Siddarth, a biostatistician at the University of California, Los Angeles' Semel Institute of Neuroscience and Human Behavior.
He continued, "It is possible that there may be two distinct groups: mentally active sitting and mentally inactive sitting. In mentally active sitting, individuals may be attending to cognitive demanding tasks such as crossword puzzles, documentation, writing, or computer games. In mentally inactive sitting, individuals may be engaging in less demanding, passive tasks such as watching television or movies."
This thinning of the medial temporal lobe is suspected of being a forerunner of mental decline and dementia in middle-aged and older adults. Reducing the amount of time spent sitting could be a way to improve brain health in people at risk for Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.
So, get off the couch and your chair at work! Take a walk around the neighborhood with your family and your beloved pet, act like a kid again and play with your kids at the playground and forgo the elevator at work by breaking a sweat climbing the stairs. Your body – and your family – will thank you for taking active steps to prolong your health, your life and your mental state.

Satisfying the discerning palates of students in St. Andrews has never been an easy task.
Students Joshua Foo, Felix Arris and Isidora Grgur identified a niche in our small town and decided to open a pop-up tapas bar, Toro Tapas.
On the evening of April 15th, 150 guests arrived at the invite-only soft launch party see what was on the menu for the new kid on the block.
Between the hours of five and eleven at night, Toro Tapas lived up to its name with student servers donning red trousers to mimic matadors and serving up Spanish tapas with an Asian twist.
Toro Tapas, which took place in Bibi's Cafe at 5 Ellice Place, aims to provide students with an outlet to pop in for a quick bite, relax in a calm atmosphere, and have a glass of wine (it's BYOB, by the way!) with friends.
This student-run restaurant caters to the budget-conscious population, with tapas costing only £3 and paellas available at a cool £5.
The three young entrepreneurs who organized the event decided to offer "not only something very different from all the other places in town, but also at the best value" through their tapas bar, according to Felix Arris, a first year IR student.
Joshua Foo, a first year management student, developed a menu with 5 tapas and 3 paellas. The menu merged Mr Foo's Asian heritage with his love of Spanish cuisine.
The hit of the night was the dish of torched, smoky Japanese meatballs. Other highlights included the pulled beef and the Spanish omelettes.
Mr Foo has had no culinary training, which makes his accomplishment all the more impressive. On the other hand, the paellas were less exemplary.
Also, for those who still had some appetite, some fine macaroons effectively satisfied my sweet tooth when they squeaked with each bite.
Mr Arris and Isidora Grgur, another first-year IR student, created a perfect atmosphere with relaxed music in the background, allowing the crowds to enjoy a slower-paced dining experience with a focus on the social aspect of eating out.
Toro Tapas has started on the right path, providing a new experience in town and good food at a low price. In the months ahead, they will work towards improvement and consolidate as a new business.
For those who did not manage to snag an invite, look forward to their grand opening next semester. Toro Tapas will be open 4 times per semester (although popular demand may add dates), with services running on Friday evenings only.
More information can be found on the event's Facebook page.

We're experiencing uncharacteristically wet weather here in Colorado and are in day four (I think?) of off-and-on-again rain. Dare I say it? Yes, I dare: It's exceedingly M-O-I-S-T around these parts (apologies to those who loathe that word but I could not resist).
This morning I looked out and saw a member of the typically debonaire American Kestrel species out on the wire. In the rain.
I thought about offering an umbrella, but the always-present-even-under-wet-circumstances imperious kestrel-tude let me know it was best to keep quiet.

Farmers across the nation are hard at work getting their crops into the ground as we head into the final two weeks of May. The latest USDA weekly crop progress estimates from Monday showed progress being made for both corn and soybeans over the last two weeks. In Nebraska, farmers have also moved forward and are slightly ahead of neighboring states despite various weather-related factors, chief among them being last week's cold temperatures and some rainfall.
By the numbers, for corn, as of May 18 Nebraska producers had 91 percent of their corn in the ground, versus 78 percent for the same date last year. This is slightly ahead of the five year average of 89 percent for the state for this date. For the total 18 states that the USDA reports these statistics, as of May 18, the nation's farmers had 73 percent of corn planted, versus 65 percent at this date in 2013. This is only 3 percent short of the overall five year average for this time of 76 percent. Overall, these numbers show that planting progress for corn is once again keeping pace, despite the previous week's weather delays.
For soybeans, Nebraska farmers have 65 percent planted, versus only 29 percent as of May 18, 2013. This is 10 percent higher than the five year average of 55 percent for the state. Overall numbers show slightly less progress, however, with 33 percent of soybeans in the ground, versus 21 percent in 2013. The overall average is 38 percent by this time over the past five years.
Planting progress only shows half the story, however, and the USDA also reported the percentages of emergence for both corn and soybeans in this week's numbers. For Nebraska corn, the report showed 43 percent emergence, up substantially from the previous week's 18 percent, and only slightly behind the NE corn emergence average of 45 percent. Overall, corn emergence was at 34 percent. While this is a significant gain from the previous week's 18 percent emergence, it is still lagging the five year average of 42 percent. Soybean emergence is close to the usual five year averages, with Nebraska reporting 13 percent emergence and overall numbers reporting 9 percent. The averages are 14 and 11 percent, respectively.
After last week's low temperatures, where many parts of the state saw frost on three consecutive nights, farmers are concerned that their newly planted crops were affected, and are now in the process of assessing whether or not they will have to replant. Either way, crop growth and development was hampered by the cold temperatures. Farmers concerned with potential damage need to do some investigating. The University of Nebraska Lincoln CropWatch analysts advise the following:
To determine the need for replanting, first estimate stands. Then, estimate yield potential. The most important factor in deciding whether to replant is to calculate expected yield with the current stand versus what you could potentially have if you replanted. Lastly, estimate replanting costs. Consider costs of tillage, seed, fuel, additional pesticides, and labor. Consider also that delayed planting certainly means higher grain moisture at harvest and the possibility of fall frosts before physiological maturity. You may want to consider planting a shorter season hybrid seed. Caution: Before replanting, contact your crop insurance agent, Farm Service Agency, and others with an interest in your crop.
The weather forecast for the coming week predicts near to above normal rainfall for a large portion of the Midwest, which could add more delays to the last stretch of planting. However, warmer temperatures will help alleviate potential delays to a certain extent.
