Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we know that it can be hard to try to stay eco friendly during the holidays when so much is happening at once! We have researched some tips for how to try to stay eco-friendly during Thanksgiving to help you in your efforts!
One way is to get food from a farmers market and support local farmers.
Commercial canning of vegetables uses 3 billion kWh of energy per annum. That's enough to run more than 8.5 million refrigerators for an entire year! Also the transportation of food across the world uses so much gas that buying local makes a huge difference.
By avoiding canned goods, you'll also be cutting down on your exposure to BPA – a hormone disrupting chemical that lines tin cans…which even the FDA has 'some concerns' about.
When celebrating with family, try to go with some cloth napkins instead of paper ones. Again, while the paper ones are convenient, they're incredibly wasteful and most definitely not eco-friendly. Did you know that the average American uses 2,200 two-ply paper napkins per year? That's 662 billion napkins ending up in American trash cans every twelve months!
Another way to try to be conscious of your eco-footprint this year is to make sure to avoid wasting food. Try to only make enough for everyone and don't have leftovers that you will just end up throwing away.
Also why not try a candle-lit dinner this year? Using candles instead of electricity the whole night will create ambiance and be romantic while saving the environment.
Your green efforts don't have to end just because the meal has! When it's time for the clean-up, you can make further green choices.
Conventional cleaners are chock-full of chemicals which are hazardous to both the environment and our health. Overhaul your arsenal of cleaning products with some homemade versions – most of which can be made from items you already have in your kitchen.
We hope this helped you think of some ways to be as eco-friendly as possible this holiday season and that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families!

Welcome to my last Christmas post using the High Hopes Christmas release for One Crazy Stamper. Hasn't this last month been so much fun? I have enjoyed seeing all the cards and projects made with these great stamps. You still have a few days to join us for our "CHRISTMAS" themed challenge for September but time is running out so move quickly. (Don't I just sound like one of those late night infomercials? LOL!)
Today I have two tags to show you using the Snowy Tag stamp. One is very traditional and the other not so much.
(All linked supplies are available for purchase at One Crazy Stamper)

Copics Used: B02, B05, BV13, BV15, BV18, RV11, RV13, RV14, W1, W3, W5, W7
I paper pieced the scarf, hatband and fringe on tag #1 with paper and tag #2 with washi/craft tape. Because I had used Copic markers on Copic paper you could see them on the other side of the tag so I used the matching paper on tag #1 and 3 different types of washi tape in diagonal stripes to disguise the marker coming through.
Thanks for coming by today. I hope you are enjoying your day and will make some time to get crafty.

The Lector Effect
HBO's new Angels in America gets Kushner wrong.
A lector—besides being a person who reads aloud scriptural passages during a liturgical service—is also a person who explains the subtext of a joke or parable, thus ruining it for everyone. From Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?:
MARTHA (Braying)
I was thinking about this idea as I watched the opening scene of Mike Nichols' HBO adaptation of Tony Kushner's Angels in America. A rabbi, played in the movie by Meryl Streep and, on Broadway, by Kathleen Chalfant, presides over a funeral.
Good morning. I am Rabbi Isidor Chemelwitz of the Bronx Home of Aged Hebrews. We are here this morning to pay respects at the passing of Sarah Ironson. Devoted wife of, uh, [unfolds paper] Benjamin Ironson. Also deceased. Loving and caring mother of her sons, Maurice, Abraham, and Samuel, and her daughters, Esther and Rachel. Beloved grandmother of Max, Mark, Louis, Angela, Doris, Luke, and Eric. Eric? This is a Jewish name?
Chalfant delivered her lines in front of the curtain, addressing the audience in lieu of a congregation. The implications of the staging were heady. This was a play about AIDS, after all, premiering in 1993 in New York, before protease inhibitors had radically altered the shape of the epidemic. Death and AIDS were virtually synonymous then, funerals more common gatherings than evenings at the theater. Chalfant's intonation made the second "Eric?" the joke while the rabbi's lectorism "This is a Jewish name?" went half-heard beneath the audience's relieved laughter. This may have been a play about AIDS, but it was going to be funny. It was going to be an evening at the theater, lightened by the familiar Jewish shtick of making jokes in the face of death.
But on-screen, the joke misses because Streep addresses a genuine crowd of mourners. When her voice rises on the second "Eric?" it feels like she's talking to herself rather than the people before her; it's only after "This is a Jewish name?" that the congregants laugh obligatorily, the camera panning their faces as if to make sure we know the sound doesn't emanate from a laugh track. But the audience at home doesn't laugh. It's not that the joke isn't funny, but that the insularity of the film steals its outward aspect. The joke gets stuck inside the world of the story, and any opportunity for viewers to connect with it is overshadowed by the camera's insistence on its humor.
The TV Angels is uphill from there, but it's a long slow climb. What works best here is what worked best onstage—Kushner's writing—but it has to fight against Nichols' attempts to add flesh to the playwright's atmospheric prose. Part of the difficulty, of course, is the isolating effect of the camera, which segregates the players from one another. The man who rendered Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? for the screen by accommodating his four players in a series of judiciously edited wide shots seems, here, less confident of his actors. He sticks a camera up against every face and strobes back and forth among them, or glances nervously around his set. Indeed, Kushner's most famous monologue—Roy Cohn's "I wish I was an octopus" speech—is nearly destroyed by Nichols' jumpy camera, which leaps around the room like a cat trying to catch a grasshopper: below Cohn's desk, over his shoulder, on his face, his hands, his phone, his walls. This kind of thing makes it that much harder for the actors to do their jobs, and even such talents as Emma Thompson and Meryl Streep aren't quite able to rise to the challenge. The former is miscast as the butch Long Island nurse Emily and spends all her energy getting the accent right, while the latter simply seems adrift as Hannah, the Utah-based Mormon mother of closeted counselor Joe Pitt.
But the problem isn't just the camerawork: It's Nichols' feeling for Kushner's language itself. Kushner's writing, especially the polemical ranting of his monologues, owes its effect at least as much to rhythm as it does to syntax, and Nichols' sense of Kushner's rhythm is off here, as is his sense of Kushner's juxtapositions. As in his adaptation of The Birdcage, Nichols sees the classic camp trope of high set against low in an almost anthropological way, of male where female should be, ugly passed off as beautiful. He seems to find this profound rather than funny; and the fact that it is (or was) profound ceases to matter if it's not also funny. Nichols is Kushner's—or gay culture's—lector here, and joke after joke is explained away by his explicative direction.
Ultimately, though, the real problem is that Angels is and remains a play, not a movie. It is deliberately, powerfully anachronistic in its approach to narrative, updating—one wants to say outing—the mid-century work of Williams and Albee. Though Nichols labors doggedly at filling in the spaces even the most lavish theatrical productions leave blank, his sets come across as cluttered, unnuanced, unnecessary; his frequent angel-eye perspectives seem thrown in just, you know, because. In particular, the addition of New York City vistas, the panoramas and facades left out of the play's backdrops, seem shuffled in from a mismatched deck. That's because Angels, even more than most plays, is steeped in conversation, soliloquy, the linguistic pursuit of ideas. Its characters interact with each other, not their environment, because (as the subtitle reminds us) the play is a fantasia: There is something internal and not quite real about it. Onstage, the visions of Kushner's PWA "prophet," Prior Walter, exist within a devolving continuum of what we think of as reality, a dislocation achieved more than anything else by the play's language, which moves from the quotidian to the metaphysical in ever-accelerating cadences. But on-screen they just look fake. A vision is already a slightly kitschy way of manifesting the subconscious (which Kushner acknowledges in his cartoonish sketches of two of Prior's ancestral visitors), yet Nichols hammers the comedy to death. Among other things, each time the specters appear or disappear, a tinkle chimes that reminds me of the transporter sound from Star Trek. And then sometimes Nichols just gets it wrong. Decking Kushner himself in beard and payes at a cemetery was a deconstructionist joke no one should have indulged, as is, on another level, the portentous visual parallel made of Prior and Joe's wife Harper's downing pills (AIDS meds for him, Valium for her) with identical glasses. And when, finally, Lewis moves out of the apartment he shares with Prior, he packs his stuff into a Checker cab. But the Checkers were gone by 1985: The taxis, like the police department's cruisers, were almost all Crown Victorias, the Checker already a nostalgic fantasy of a New York that existed only in the movies.
Perhaps, finally, nostalgia is Nichols' greatest obstacle. But it would be wrong to attribute all the nostalgia to Nichols. For W.'s America of 2003 isn't Clinton's America of 1993, when the play premiered; which itself wasn't the America of 1991 and 1992 when the play was being written and work-shopped, and George H.W. Bush was fighting for re-election; and then again not the America of 1985 that the play is set in, when Ronald Reagan had just won a second term. Or at least it isn't the same America for gay people. AIDS changed gay men's relationship to the national consciousness in a way that it hasn't for the other populations it's affected, both here and abroad. History has been accelerated for us during the past two decades. Civil rights battles that might have taken generations took only a few years, sometimes a few months; and though those battles are far from over, it's safe to say that gay men occupy a demonstrably different and more secure position in America now than we did then. When Joe says to Louis, "Look, I want to touch you. Can I just touch you here?" he means both "here" on the cheek and also "here" in Central Park—in public. For the thousandth time, a gay man was coming out to America, and it seemed perhaps that this time it took. We are, today, safer, more visible, more capable of influencing the things said about us on a national level—but we are not, as was, I think, Kushner's hope (not to mention his audience's), capable of influencing the things America said about itself. Gay men became more American; Americans did not become more gay. Whether you regard capitalism as the thing that will save the world or the thing that will destroy it, the marketplace has proven capable of assimilating gay male notions of masquerade, subterfuge, and subversion without itself being subverted by them. By which I mean that there was a George Bush as president when Kushner first wrote Angels, and there is a George Bush as president now. By which I mean that perhaps it isn't the movie that doesn't do the play justice, it's the times. By which I mean, finally, that as soon as I finished watching Angels, the only thing I could think of doing was watching it again because I wanted it to have another chance.

Our internet service was down here at work for A WHOLE DAY. I know what you're thinking, but there aren't a lot of high cliffs to jump from here in Fooleryland, so I just texted my friends for support: foolery: THE INTERNET HAS BEEN DOWN FOR HOURS. HOW DID PEOPLE SURVIVE IN CAVEMAN DAYS?! i feel faint . . . CBW: oh no!Gubby: They threw lots of rocks . . . give it a try. (Illustration stolen from this site)
CBW: They smoked. Signals. Or something. Bocci: Mine working great . . . wish it wouldn't. Mantel Man: Well, just make like the cavemen did and scrawl your status on the wall. Meg: holy moses. i will fax you some chocolate stat! Marcy: I honestly don't know. I mean WHAT DID THEY DO???Marcy: Guess that is why they had so many kids. : ) Asia: Man, it must have been rough for you. I've had a similar experience this week a.k.a. Jury Duty. Rick's Cafe: Ya better be cheering for my Butler Dogs! So I guess the answer is, these days, we cavemen just text when we can't get online.

I guess I stood a better chance at chocolate if I had actually given Meg my fax number. And Rick, congratulations! Please don't fax me any dogs.

Here's a photo of Sunday brunch the way it was intended: (Photo stolen from these guys*) Inviting, right? Note the presence of eggs, and juice, coffee, fine linens, preserves, cold butter, leafy greens to laugh about later, and forgiving lighting. Not shown but almost definitely present include attractive, witty conversationalists and a buttload of alcohol. This is not quite how Sunday brunch goes down in Fooleryland. To wit, my most recent attempt at the Leisure Culture . . .Sunday morning I woke up at the crack of Forgot-Daylight-Savings-Time-My-Grandmother-Would-Be-Appalled. Pulling on some plaid jammie pants, bright pink socks, a sweatshirt and an orange headband, I headed for the kitchen. Coffee started, I pulled dry ingredients out of cupboards and prepared my mise en place, which is a snooty way of saying I pushed a bunch of crap aside to make room for biscuit dough. Each child had to cut a few biscuits, of course, so -- let the dogs out -- after making them wash their hands again -- let the dogs back in -- all biscuits were cut and popped into the oven. Dicing up onions and mincing garlic seemed to take forever -- put Wally out again to stop the barking -- but eventually they were sizzling in olive oil as I chopped last night's potatoes. Beep-beep-beep! Beep-beep-beep! The biscuits were done. Time to -- let Wally in and now Rilo wants out again -- make the girls' Ovaltine. Don't judge me. Six tiny marshmallows in each cup and -- you're judging me, aren't you? -- the milk was almost heated. Is that coffee ready yet? Into a bowl went the biscuits, wrapped in a linen towel. Girls, please set the table. Girls. Girls. GIRLS!BING! Coffee's ready . . . thank GAH. Put the Ovaltine and coffee on the table and --
Barking ensued. Lots of barking. Oh hi, Brian! What? You say the cows are out? Wait, lemme grab my boots. And turn off the burner.Pink fuzzy feet and plaid legs jammed into rubber boots. Looking good, Foolery, looking good. Out the door into a light rain. Of course. The cows, which were not ours, numbered only two. One was wearing a padlocked chain like a necklace. THAT'S gonna be fun for someone to get off of her. Brian and I pushed them across the road to a food source (which they promptly ignored in favor of freedom) while my daughters called the right people. Remembering my appearance I said a quick thank-you and goodbye to my helpful neighbor and slunk back into the house. Burner: ON. Girls, did you put the butter on the table? Girls? Girls? GIRLS!Potatoes done, juice poured, dogs crated, it was time to sit down to our feast. "I'm thankful for this nice breakfast, are YOU, Sparky? What else are you thankful for?" Dig in.Finishing first, I jumped up to wash dishes, since I had quite a mess to clean up. The girls straggled in with their plates and headed off to their rooms. I listened to NPR in peace.Until. Until Smedley found the linen towel on the floor under the dining room table. "Mama, why is this on the floor?" she asked, bewildered. "Did you eat all the rest of the biscuits?""No, of course I didn't, I --" Oh crap. The dogs. The dogs ate all the biscuits. "Will it hurt them, Mama?" Smedley asked, terrified that we, as new dog-owners, had just accidentally poisoned our new dogs."No, they'll be fine," I answered, not at all sure I wouldn't find piles of, well, let's leave it at piles, around the house over the next few hours. "But I need more coffee."
The clean-up was brutal. As I was finally finishing, Sparky sidled in to check on me. "What's for lunch?" she asked. I don't think I need to make brunch again for a few more years. *I originally tried to steal this photo from Mark Pantsari's wonderful blog post "What White Chicks Cherish -- The Unofficial Guide to Things White Girls Officially Love: Sunday Brunch," but lost my nerve and asked him for permission. I think he was sufficiently charmed by my directness that he let me link to him. Really hoping he'll mail me a mimosa. (You HAVE to go read his post, or any of his posts -- they're a scream.)

How many hours did YOU spend with the gang from "Scooby Doo Where Are You!" back your misspent youth? Don't try to fool me because I can get to you through your mothers. Once upon a time we all knew everything about Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, Velma and Scooby Doo, who together comprised the teenagers known by criminals everywhere as You Meddling Kids. We picked up from Shaggy the bad habit of frequently and unnecessarily inserting the word "like" into our speech. Our mothers rolled their collective eyes when we asked for Scooby Snacks (and later they just prayed our the munchies weren't caused by activities less savory than watching Hanna-Barbera cartoons). But mostly our Moms were worried we wouldn't pick up Fred's ascot fetish. Ever wonder what You Meddling Kids are up to these days? You might be surprised.
Scooby Doo is over 320 years old in dog years.
(Photo stolen from this site) Shaggy gave up crime-fighting for the music industry and is living his life as a Jamaican-American reggae and rap performer. Velma got tired of being the plain Jane of the group. With a little help from contact lenses, pilates and a whole lotta silicon, she's not just "the smart one" anymore. Jinkies.
Poor, sweet Daphne. She peaked in her teens and life has been rather dull since then. She lives with 6 cats and a roommate who padlocks her room when she's out. Danger-Prone Daphne is now Edema-Prone Daphne.
Fred changed his name and went into show business. No one knows who he is now, but we hear he's big in Germany.

As threatened promised, I will be updating our friends Seth and Dez about the happenings of our shared family members, Wally and Rilo.
Wally and Rilo have been getting lots of walks, even in the drizzle.
The harnesses have been a struggle for us, so for now we are using the standard collars and leashes. This will change as we become LESS LAME.
They got out for the first time Thursday evening when a door bounced back instead of latching. The girls were beside themselves. The dogs were elated. Grandma was enlisted to help corral the escape artists, and the whole operation took no more than ten minutes. WINNING.
Rilo proved to be the fastest dog at the dog park last Tuesday, for 25 minutes of extended chase. She was exuberant, at least until a big dog became annoyed at her trash talk, and got a little rough. Poor Wally ended up in the middle. Wally took a flop, no one was really hurt, and the other dog park patrons took it all in stride.
They got their first showers Saturday, after Wally managed to squeeze through the manger stanchions in hot pursuit of chickens to the left, cat to the right. His only success was in center-punching a large cow pie. Chase aborted, Wally was unceremoniously carried into the house and dumped into the shower. He liked it.
They had their first successful nose-to-nose meeting with a friendly (but wary) cat on Saturday. They sniffed and licked and sniffed some more, but lost interest when they found some stray cat food on the ground. The meeting ended abruptly.
All in all, these two beagles have become part of our schedule, part of our family, and have completely taken over both the La-Z-Boy and our hearts. We love Wally and Rilo. All photos taken by Smedley and Sparky (mostly Sparky this time).

I struggled over adding to this week's swirl of media surrounding Charlie Sheen, but I have zero qualms about slinging mud at Moammar al-Gaddafi, outrageous liar, despot and murderer that he is. And while these two men are vastly different people with vastly different demons, somehow, they sounded an awful lot alike to me all week. I'm not sure why this works so well, but it does. At least, it does in my head, but maybe that's because I have no Adonis DNA? (Photos grabbed from Charlie Sheen interviews with Piers Morgan of CNN, Andrea Canning of ABC, and NBC's Jeff Rossen)
(Entire Gaddafi interview with Jeremy Bowen of the BBC, Christiane Amanpour of ABC, and the Sunday Times of London, found here) I personally transcribed all quotes but one (and I can't remember which one) to be sure they were exact. While I've been working on this abstraction for days, I recognize that I'm not the first to draw the parallel between these two delusional public figures this week. For a wry take on this subject, check out this site.

An e-mail arrived Saturday from Mantel Man, copied to our brother Bocci and our sister Beth. As I read it I was struck by two unrelated yet inescapable facts: one, Mantel Man sees everything and describes it so well. Two, this will start a poopstorm of e-mails from the Fooleryland siblings. Who would be the first? Mantel Man's e-mail: The replies from the siblings were, as always, merciless and silly. Bocci: It may be time for a twitter account. Then we can find out your poop schedule as well. foolery: I know what he eats. He will be far to busy pooping to Twitter about it. Mantel Man: Well, that would mean some EXTREMELY local hazelnuts . . . Laurie, do you still use Twitter? I've seen other people misspell "too" on that site, so maybe it's contagious. Bocci: I wasn't going to say anything.foolery: Playing Go Fish and listening to Beck while answering e-mails. I can feel myself getting narrower. Mantel Man: What's so narrowing about Beck's music? (To say nothing about Go Fish, which I find has a zen-like quality about it...) Bocci: I wish I was narrower . . . toBeth: Hahaha! FYI, they allow Subaru's in Whole Food market parking lots . . . Go fish. And then the follow-up a few days later, from Mantel Man again:
Yeah. Any length for comedy, in this family. foolery: Are they selling hashish at your health food store AGAIN? And Bocci had the last word: Wow, regret reading that! ...and getting him started. Oh, and . . . there was a March 3rd report from Mantel Man. I'll spare you. You're welcome.

It's been a busy, and expensive, week. Picked up so many tools I haven't even finished setting them all up yet, much less playing with them.
The Ridgid 13" Thickness Planer R4330 was a breeze to set up. Unpacked it, attached the dust collector, and it was ready to go. I spent more time cleaning up shavings from the test run because the shopvac was clogged (before I connected it) than I did setting it up!
The Ridgid 6" jointer JP0610, however, not so easy. There is one bolt that requires you to reach way in, and my arm didn't fit, so I had my girlfriend help me out. There wasn't enough room for a socket set and it was at an angle so that bolt is only hand-tight, but there are two others that were accessible so I think it should be OK. I also put the motor in backwards, despite doublechecking the instructions, so that cost some time as well. Tensioning the belt was easy. Once we got past those issues, it ran nicely, and despite the short feeds on it, I think it will do nicely for the things I'm working on.
Tonight I set up the Bench Dog 40-001 router table and try to attach the Bosch 1617EVS to it…

Nations Creation Is an exciting Social Enterprise that began in October 2016 at Stó:lō Nation's Vedder Road site. Thanks to a Partnership-Based Labour Market Training Project funded by the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation, this project will support workers interested in training in sophisticated, computer-based light manufacturing and also support indigenous artists.
The project involves training eligible workers on reserve to make multi-use of First Nations art designs by creating t-shirts, mugs and other collectible items featuring the work of local artists. Local artists will receive a royalty for each item sold with their design, and the remainder of the proceeds will return to the social enterprise to employ more workers in the manufacturing and sales.

I have always believed that milk – cow's milk in particular, is a very nutritious and wholesome food for people of all ages. That's until I read about the hazards of consuming milk, that milk is one of the causes of cancer, that cow's milk is laced with the harmful antibiotics and drugs injected on the cow and all that jazz that milk is no longer a superior food. I used to feed my 2 older girls milk 3x a day but it has now been reduced to only once a day. As for Baby C, I am still breastfeeding her and supplementing her with non-dairy milk (Pediasure).
Today, many of the problems parents have with their babies are linked to new parenting and feeding techniques that have been implemented during the recent century. Colic, for instance, is far more common in the U.S. than in many other places around the world. Two chief causes for its rise are the stress suffered by babies being regularly separated from their mothers, and the common difficulties babies have tolerating the large cow's milk proteins in infant formulas and breastfeeding mothers' diets.
Cow's milk is a foreign substance that has pervaded every corner of our diets—starting with artificial infant feeds, but finding its way into mother's breastmilk through the foods she eats as well. As it turns out, health problems such as childhood diabetes, obesity, bowel disease, osteoporosis, heart disease, cataracts, colic, ear infections, hyperactivity, and cancer, on the rise in both children and adults, are strongly linked to infant feeding choices. While there are literally thousands of research studies, each revealing at least one of milk's hazards, the dairy industry goes to great lengths to stifle any damaging rumors. Blanket statements, such as, "There is simply no scientific research to back up these claims," are easily made. With a long and successful history of dairy promotion, these are readily accepted by the public.
More people need to go to the real research and learn the truth for themselves. They should be very suspicious of these foreign foods being pushed on their children. They should question motives as well as possible outcomes. Although some of the dangers of cow's milk consumption relate more to adults than to children, parents' actions form the basis for lifelong dairy-consuming habits in their children.The harmful components of cow's milk include all the major parts of it, as well as some more minor elements.
Lactose is a sugar meant for babies, but it's generally harmful to adults. The proteins in cow's milk are different from human milk proteins and cause problems of digestion, intolerance, impaired absorption of other nutrients, and autoimmune reactions. Few of the proteins meant for baby cows are found naturally in human mother's milk, and none are found in any natural adult human food. Even the high protein content in cow's milk creates problems. Human babies need the saturated fats and cholesterol in mother's milk. Bovine milk fat is not appropriately composed for human babies and is only deleterious to the health of children and adults.
Cow hormones are not meant for humans, and older children and adults are not meant to consume hormones. And, cows have been selectively bred over time to create high levels of these hormones—those being the cows that grow the fastest and produce the greatest amount of milk. Cows also concentrate pesticides and pollutants into their milk fat, from their high dietary food and water requirements. The high amount of drugs now given to cows adds to this chemical soup. But we need milk to build strong bones, don't we? Actually, heavy milk consumption leads to increased osteoporosis.
The highly promoted idea that milk builds strong bones refers to the prevention of osteoporosis—this is the reason for strengthening bones. Decades of effort to demonstrate that high calcium diets chiefly derived from dairy products build strong bones have failed to prove any such correlation. In fact, the opposite seems to be true. It appears that high calcium intake before puberty, and especially in young childhood, may have some slight positive effect on bones, but this diet is not the answer. A balanced intake of all the bone minerals, along with adequate vitamin A, C, and D, is what is truly needed. A balanced intake of minerals cannot occur when the diet emphasizes dairy. Dairy's high calcium causes relative deficiencies in magnesium and other bone-building minerals, and its high phosphorus and animal protein reduces calcium availability.
Physical activity has the greatest benefit—the body efficiently uses what is available to build strong bones when it senses the need. Human milk and vegetable sources are superior to dairy for calcium and other nutrients in many ways. There are fewer nutritional or other health advantages to giving cow's milk to children than is generally believed, while there are certainly many risks. Almost every day another health research finding is made about whole grains, soy, a serving of vegetables, two fruits per day, cashews, legumes, fish, or some other food, other than milk that is, and their connection to a reduced risk of heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, diabetes, or other disease. This is because cow's milk and its derivatives today make up one-third of the adult diet, and half to two-thirds of caloric intake in children, thus replacing so much other important, nutritious food needed in the diet. This leads to insufficient intake of important vitamins, several minerals, and healthy fiber and vegetable oils.
Cancer-preventing antioxidants in foods are missing in this milk diet as well. While one form of antioxidant vitamin A is added to milk (but not all dairy products), it is likely counteracted by the pesticide and drug residues. The full complement of vitamin A and associated enzymes, found in vegetables and other foods, are required for cancer prevention. Many, many more kinds of antioxidants are found in vegetables, legumes, fruits, and grains. No other animal in the animal kingdom drinks milk beyond childhood. No other animal suffers from osteoporosis, except the occasional pet raised on human meals. If there remains a desire to provide milk to a child who has no diarrhea, rashes, or other intolerance reactions, organic (organic—not raw) non-fat milk would be the best choice.
In raw (unpasteurized) milk there can be many potentially dangerous microorganisms, in addition to the leukemia virus. In organic milk there are fewer antibiotic residues, no added hormones, and cows are given better feeds. Non-fat means less chemical residue and no artery-damaging saturated fat. Children can obtain fat in the form of non-hydrogenated (especially monosaturated) vegetable oils, be it in potato chips or cashews. Goat's milk is considered by many to be superior in many ways, and today low-fat versions are available. Much less documented information is available about goat's milk, but it appears that the proteins are less problematic for digestion, although allergic intolerance to these can also occur.
Lactose and hormones would remain an issue although, to date, goats apparently are not injected with extra growth hormone. Although it was apparent from day one that formula was a health risk for infants, back when it was first promoted, cow's milk for older children appeared to be a nutritional manna. And with one or two glasses a day from a healthy, range-fed animal, it likely nearly was. Since this time, however, the quality of dairy has drastically reduced while its consumption has exploded… with a little advertising help. The evidence suggesting that the early faith in milk was misplaced has been building up for decades. The dairy industry has had to take increasingly extreme efforts to keep this information out of public awareness.

The Last Day of 2010
It's a gray day on the coast. Looks like the way I feel about the last year.
There were some good times and some dark times.
Our health continues to suffer, making my spirit feel gray and weak.
I am happy to let this year go and a new one begin.
Tomorrow begins a new year and each day I will try to live like this quote from Buddha:
Each morning we are born again.
What we do today is what matters most.

In this episode, of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," Jacqueline and Dina wonder how they can avoid Danielle drama and New York Fashion Week draws the bridge and tunnel housewives to Manhattan.
Girl fights
After Jacqueline's fight with her daughter, Ashley, in the last episode, it seems she's feeling a little guilty about fighting in front of her Ashley's younger brother, CJ. She spends some quality time with him to talk it out and let him know that Ashley loves him and that she doesn't enjoy fighting with Ashley.
Meanwhile, Danielle arrives and she finds a bouquet of flowers for Christine from Jacqueline. She then starts obsessing over them and their meaning as her youngest daughter asks her if she wants some privacy. It's so strange to see a kid with so much more sense than her parent. When she calls, Jacqueline ignores the call and Danielle leaves a very nice message. Then, she obsesses more, asks her daughter to leave the room and calls again. This time she leaves a message basically telling Jacqueline off for not coming to the luncheon. Danielle should really take the hint.
Teresa goes over to Dina's place to talk. After a very funny scene in which Dina tries to pick the herbal tea that won't send Teresa into labor, Dina asks her if Danielle invited her to the luncheon. Of course, she didn't. Dina says that she told Danielle after forgiving her that she needed time before they can be friends and she wishes Danielle didn't keep insisting they hang out. She wonders if she can ever have Danielle in her life, since drama always follows.
Caroline has a lot more free time now that her kids are grown and she's enjoying hanging with the girls more. She goes over to Jacqueline's place and Jacqueline tells her that Danielle is angry at her for not going to the luncheon and not being able to celebrate her kids with her. Caroline points out that Danielle didn't even acknowledge when her new son was born, who she had a very hard time conceiving. Caroline tells her to ignore Danielle and let the calls fade away.
Back at Danielle's place, Danielle goes over Christine's pictures from last week's photo shoot, again. She keeps asking Jillian if she thinks her sister is gorgeous. Danielle then starts talking about when Jillian will become a model, since she looks just like her sister. That starts a round of the girls arguing about whether they look alike.
Hope for a miracle
Teresa takes her girls shopping and it's a free for all. Melania, her youngest, is just a terror in the store (as she should be at her age). Gia is racking up the clothes. It's crazy how much she picks out. Teresa tells her she can't have all those clothes, but Gia isn't putting anything back. Oh, well, she says she hopes for a boy. The economy could use her having another girl, though.
We join Dina and her "energist," Zen Jen. Do women with too much money all have these kinds of people to chat with? What happened to therapists? She tells her that she doesn't know what to do about Danielle and she needs to find out how to get the drama out of her life. Zenji, as I will now call her, tells her she should just tell Danielle that she doesn't want to be friends and it has nothing to do with her. That's a lie, but Zenji tells her she should do it. Really spiritual, Zenji.
Over at Danielle's place, she's having a chat with her realtor. Her realtor contacted Danielle's ex to see if he could help with some of the house renovations in order to prep it for selling. He says no, so Danielle decides to take her house off the market. She decides moving would be more problematic and expensive than just staying put.
Dinner and TMI
Teresa throws a dinner to celebrate Gia's New York Fashion Week debut. Caroline and her son Albie go over to help celebrate. Teresa's husband is late, so the girls entertain. When her husband arrives, Teresa gives him some grief about being so late. She then points out that they're a traditional couple, but cute. For example, they have sex every day, sometimes twice. Cute.
You shut up. And, you sit down.
On the way to Bryant Park, Joe makes fun of Gia. He tells her she's ugly and she's walking down the ugly catwalk. Teresa is laughing along until she realizes that Gia is a big ball of tears in the backseat. Yo, shut up already, Joe. The girl has had enough.
Once in the tent and it's just Teresa and Gia, things get better. Teresa is even able to get Gia to laugh. After Caroline and Jacqueline go backstage to say hi, Teresa finds one of the magazines with Christine on the cover. Then Danielle, via interview, says she predicts that Teresa will be very mean and jealous. Quite the opposite, though. Teresa shows Gia the cover and says, "Doesn't she look pretty?" That's a big difference from when Danielle trashed Gia in the last episode for not being model material. Maybe Danielle will see the difference, too?
Finally, it's Gia's show time and she takes that runway like a pro! I love that she brought Jacqueline to tears and her father couldn't be happier for her. That girl has a lot of people who love her.
Over at IMG, Christine is getting some last minute walking instructions, but Danielle can't just sit and watch. She gets up and stands at the end of the hall and critiques Christine. Hello, Danielle, you aren't the model coach. You, sit down. You were barely a model yourself. In the end, Christine has had enough and refuses to continue the lesson. Good for her. Although that's a bit unprofessional, maybe Danielle won't stick her nose into it next time. That's too much to ask, huh?
When she gets to the tents, Christine is pretty calm for a girl doing her first runway walk. Then, after the walk, the girls have to stand out on the runway and pose. I'm not sure, but I can imagine that standing there in 6-inch heels for almost a half hour can't be easy. Poor Christine, who only ate a few pieces of fruit before the show, is sweating and she begins to complain that she feels like vomiting. Meanwhile, Danielle talks about flying all over the world with her. Then, finally someone gets Christine off the runway. I felt so bad for her. Thankfully, Danielle went back to help and she did her best to assure Christine that she did a fabulous job. Danielle gets mothering points for that.
What did you think of the Jersey stage moms, Danielle and Teresa?

text: Engadget - We've already seen a bit of big news slip out ahead of RIM's earnings announcement, and the company's now dropped another bombshell itself. Former co-CEO Jim Balsillie has resigned from his position on the company's board of directors. In a statement, Balsillie said simply: "As I complete my retirement from RIM, I'm grateful for this remarkable experience and for the opportunity to have worked with outstanding professionals who helped turn a Canadian idea into a global success." RIM also confirmed that CTO David Yach would be retiring as well, and that COO Jim Rowan has "decided to pursue other interests," but it hasn't offered any indication of a broader shakeup beyond those three departures.

text: WikiLeaks recognised as a 'media organisation' by UK tribunal | 14 Dec 2017 | A British tribunal has recognised Julian Assange's WikiLeaks as a "media organisation", a point of contention with the United States, which is seeking to prosecute him and disputes his journalistic credentials. The issue of whether Assange is a journalist and publisher would almost certainly be one of the main battlegrounds in the event of the US seeking his extradition from the UK. The definition of WikiLeaks by the information tribunal, which is roughly equivalent to a court, could help Assange's defence against extradition on press freedom grounds. The US has been considering prosecution of Assange since 2010 when WikiLeaks published hundreds of thousands of confidential US defence and diplomatic documents.

Christen Blades Releases New Book
"I have loved to write since the third grade. I love words, and I like the impact they can have on a person's life or a situation. In the beginning, I wrote short stories. Around sixth grade, I started writing poetry to help me deal with low self-esteem. My poems were my way of escape. I could express myself freely without worrying about what others thought of me. I knew there were other girls who felt like me and needed to be encouraged. I wanted my poems to reflect my ideas and emotions but, more importantly, who I am as person. I believe that words have power, and when you use them in the right way, they can inspire and encourage a generation of people..."

It's less than 3 weeks before Microsoft is set to sell their very own computer, and so far their promotions have been pretty low key, with enigmatic graffiti appearing in all kinds of odd places.
Now reader Zach has noticed a much more conventional ad showing up at a bus stop in Chicago, on the UIC campus.
Presumably we will see the campaign escalate significantly over the next few weeks, to help Microsoft make good on their biggest bet ever.
Thanks Zach for the tip and pictures.

Courtesy Graham Elliot
Chicago chef Graham Elliot has plenty on his plate these days.
He celebrated the grand opening of his third restaurant, G.E.B. (Graham Elliot Bistro) on Monday, his hit show MasterChef premiered the same night — and he's expecting his third baby boy in September!
"Having kids makes you realize that all the things you used to stress out over really don't matter at all," Elliot, 35, tells PEOPLE.
The chef and his wife, Allie, have settled on a family name with lots of history for their soon-to-be son: Jedediah Pope.
"Her dad's name is Jed, and the name Pope was the middle name of everyone on my dad's side," he explains. "The names Jed and Pope don't get used often, and they're part of our family history, so why not embrace that?"
Jed will join the couple's son Conrad, 20 months, and Mylo, 5, Elliot's son from a previous marriage. Big brother Mylo is "the king of the house," says Elliot. "He's super loving and he feels pride that the others will be looking up to him."
The TV judge is also looking to upgrade his home to accommodate his expanding family — and debating on individual rooms versus bunk beds for the boys.
But for now, planning the nursery is at the top of the to-do list. "Mylo had a cowboy theme and with Conrad it was giraffes," he says. "I don't know what we're going to do with baby number three!"

Sri Lanka to set up liability management fund for debt
Oct 20, 2017 13:08 PM GMT+0530 | 0 Comment(s)
ECONOMYNEXT - Sri Lanka will set up a liability management fund to cope with a spike in debt maturities in 2018 and 2019 and make borrowings more transparent, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said.
Under existing law Sri Lanka cannot pre-emptively more cash that the maturities falling and pre-pay debt or build up a buffer.
"…[W]e will introduce a comprehensive secondary market trading platform and a liability management fund," Prime Minister Wickremesinghe told parliament.
"These reforms and future reforms will come into effect under the new Fiscal Liability Management Act that provides legal framework for a prudent debt management strategy."
In 2018 2.3 billion dollars of US dollar denominated debt is due to mature. In 2019 a 1.5 billion dollar sovereign bond is due to mature, requiring a bullet repayment or rollover.
Sri Lanka started borrowing commercially abroad over the past dozen years.
With dollar denominated debt the central bank cannot simply depreciate the rupee, and cut the real value of state debt imposing by losses on the Employees Provident Fund and other savers who had bought government rupee debt, forcing budget reform.
The creation of a central bank in 1951 removed a 'hard budget constraint' that had been in place during British times, allowing native rulers to borrow and avoid real repayment with currency depreciation and inflation.
Dollar values remain the same in real terms, though it appears as if depreciation expands dollar loans.
"Our policies will be targeted on forward-looking liability management strategies," Prime Minister Wickemesinghe said
"Accordingly, the funds required by the government will be raised with transparency and predictability.
"Under the medium – term debt management strategy, the detailed strategies of government borrowings will be known in advance to the domestic and foreign debt portfolios."
Sri Lanka has already pushed up tax revenues increasing the debt to gross domestic product ratio, Prime Minister Wickremesinghe said.
Higher revenues and expenditure controls will allow the budget deficit to be lowered to 3.5 percent of GDP by 2020. A lower budget deficit can reduce the overall debt by reducing the accumulation of new debt. (Colombo/Oct20/2017)

Hmmm... how do you follow up crying gynecologists? I have no idea. So, I'm posting a few funnies, complements of Ella Bella Cinderella. There is so much funny lately, I could write an entire blog dedicated to her musings. Kinda like Sh*t My Dad Says , but with a preschooler and a lot less cursing.
Heard just moments ago:
Ella: "Hey, howdy hey, Lego Lady! I found your hairbrush. It was in my toooooooe."
She's talking about this lovely Lego lady:
Apparently, "girl" Lego sets now come with cool pink car parts and hair brushes. Awesome.
And, no, Ella's not wearing clothes. It's not even noon yet, for cripes sake. Have you read this blog before?
This morning, I came out of the bathroom, looking ROUGH. My hair is insane and my clothes don't match. And what does Ella say to lil' ol' me?
Ella: "Hello, gorgeous!"
I'm totally keeping her. If nothing else, for my self esteem.
Earlier today, I had to give Charlie, our LOUD and lovable-ish Dorkie, a little kennel time out for being incredibly naughty. Ella's take on it?
Ella: "That Charlie! He's got some serious issues. I think you need to take away his Playstation time."
Y'all, she's only 3. And the things that come out of her mouth. Oh. My. She needs a tv show. Or a blog. Or a book (Think No, David! )
Crap. Better go. Lego Lady just lost her head and it's "an EMERGENCY!"
Smooches and love,

Late 2013 saw the publication of a new edition of the long-standing flaw assessment
procedure BS 7910 ("Guide to methods for assessing the acceptability of flaws in
metallic structures"). TWI has been associated with this British Standard, which
allows users to set flaw acceptance criteria and sentence flaws found during service
or fabrication using fracture mechanics calculations, since its inception In 1980
as document PD 6493.
The new edition introduces several significant changes with respect to the earlier
(2005) edition, so TWI is running a series of four-day training courses around the
world to introduce the standard to both new and existing users. The most recent
of these was held in Kuala Lumpur in March, and attracted a range of participants
from the oil, gas and power industries. The course, run jointly in Malaysia by Ian
Partridge of TWI SE Asia and Isabel Hadley of TWI Ltd, uses a mixture of lectures,
informal discussion, videos, hand calculations, quizzes and software examples to
reinforce learning.
Attendees of the Malaysia course had the following comments:
Further courses are already scheduled for Houston and Abington
and are available on request in other parts of the world.

You may be wondering, if you've stumbled across our previous Battle for the Pacific coverage for the 360 and PC, why we're writing an entirely new review for the PS2 and Wii versions of the game. The reason for this is quite simple: the games are completely different. The PS2 and Wii versions are not only developed by different studios, but they're also, plain and simple, different games. The only similarity between the PS2/Wii versions and the 360/PC versions is that all of them are FPS games and take place during World War II. That's about it.
Unfortunately, this version of Battle for the Pacific is much worse. You may find this hard to believe, considering how low the other versions scored, but we can assure you that the PS2 and Wii experience is inferior.
Battle for the Pacific puts you in control of Lieutenant Jonathan Farrell, an American soldier originally stationed in Europe. At the beginning of the game, Farrell is selected to be the single member of the special-ops group called "Eagle Rage," where he will carry out a variety of missions in the Pacific against the opposing Japanese. The only palpable advantage that this version has over the others is the presence of an actual narrative and dramatic voice, presented primarily through Farrell's monologue at the beginning and end of most missions. Unfortunately, Farrell's voice actor is unemotional and apathetic, causing the story to dissolve before it even begins. Some of the lines are almost laughable, thanks to the said voice acting and mediocre writing. Thus, the game's one distinct "advantage" becomes just another one of its weaknesses.
Poor narrative isn't the game's biggest problem. First of all, it looks awful. Not only does everything in the game appear completely outdated, but it runs at an embarrassing rate. Surprisingly, the cutscenes perform even worse than the gameplay itself, which is somewhat abnormal. Bad graphics and poor framerate don't always condemn a title, but Battle for the Pacific's gameplay does absolutely nothing to save the experience. It's an annoyingly slow, clunky, boring and nonsensical shooter. We can't possibly imagine anyone having fun playing this game, unless he or she has never played an FPS title before.
Let's discuss some of the above points a little more thoroughly. Battle for the Pacific is slow. Farrell moves at a snail's pace and the action itself chugs along almost deliberately. For a game attempting to recreate a war, it's not doing a very good job. Worse still is the fact that this slow gameplay is also boring. There's nothing new to do here, and the invincibly dull world doesn't lend itself to immersive gaming. Even the occasional "stealth mission" or rail-shooting segment do little to spice things up.
So you may be wondering why we chose to use the word "nonsensical" to describe the gameplay. Easy. Your opponent's actions in Battle for the Pacific don't make any sense. Get up close to them and they'll run about harmlessly or fire off a few lazy rounds without trying to finish the job. However, get far enough away and every enemy solider suddenly becomes super human. Their aim is impeccable, and they will often spot you long before it would be humanly possible to do so. Say, for example, a solider is about five hundred feet away from you (or more) and a vast expanse of brush, trees and humongous vegetation blocks your line-of-sight. Guess what? Not only can they see you coming, but they can hit you almost every time. Needless to say, it's very frustrating.
This thick jungle not only makes it nearly impossible to locate your opponents, but it's also very difficult to navigate. You'll be hard pressed to differentiate between a passable group of trees and an invisible wall. Most of the time, you're just forced to run down a very linear path as the Japanese take ridiculous shots at you.
Of course, we shouldn't forget to mention that you can't jump, nor can you interact with the environment. Oh well.
The Verdict
There's little left to say in regards to Battle for the Pacific, besides the fact that you should probably avoid it. If you absolutely need to try it out, we suggest you give either the 360 or PC version a try. Then again, you probably shouldn't bother. This is just a bad game, and Jonathan Farrell needs to find himself a better job.
