The Jewish Press: Italian Comfort Food
Kosher Gourmet Alessandra Rovati Launches www.DinnerInVenice.com
Self-taught kosher Italian cook, Alessandra Rovati has launched a new website, www.DinnerInVenice.com to celebrate colorful, healthy and kosher foods that talented and passionate Italians Jews have brought to their tables over the centuries. Best known for her healthy and delicious Italian recipes, Rovati highlights classic light dishes for summer on her site, such as steamed or grilled fish fillet served with a traditional "Salsa Verde" (green sauce), a tricolored green salad, oven-baked turkey loaf with vegetables, minestrone soup, light vegetable pasta sauces, and Macedonia, an Italian fruit salad. She also posts recipes on her Facebook page, "Kosher Italian Kitchen" which currently boasts over 1,000 fans. "People think that eating Italian cuisine is fattening because they associate Italian food with pasta dishes made with creamy sauces," said Rovati. "But that's just not true! Most Italians, especially women, eat a small dish of pasta with a fresh vegetable sauce, followed by fresh greens and fruit and a small portion of protein food; while a typical American will eat a giant plate of pasta smothered in a jar of tomato sauce filled with preservatives and sugar as well as artificially flavored cheese."
According to Rovati, Mediterraneans tend to eat lots of healthy fat such as extra virgin olive oil and fish, so they tend to be leaner. Rovati's secret when it comes to cooking is using high-quality Italian olive oils, small amounts of high-end cheeses, and lots of fresh vegetables. Born and raised in Venice, Alessandra has always loved food and taught herself how to cook. Her mother, a scientist, taught her about the importance of being exact and the understanding of cooking techniques.When she moved to the U.S. in 1995, Alessandra missed the food from back home and started perfecting her techniques and spending hours on the phone with her mother and friends living in Italy to learn their tricks and secrets from the Old World. She then created a collection of homemade recipes—some passed down from generation to generation, the others more modern, light and quick to make, yet still very authentic in flavor.
She teaches her recipes in a monthly cooking series through the Jewish International Connection of New York (www.jicny.com). She also cooks for her family almost every night. It was only this past April, when preparing for the holiday of Passover, that Alessandra launched DinnerInVenice.com, and her Facebook page Italian Kosher Food, as a result of receiving dozens of inquiries from friends about how to prepare specific Italian dishes for the Jewish holiday. Alessandra slightly modified and lightened these Old World recipes to create a more modern and tasty Italian style cuisine suitable for everyday. "Cooking has kept me connected to my community of origin," she said. "Dinner in Venice is my way of passing on my community's oldest traditions and also new trends in Italian cooking to anyone who loves fresh, tasty and nutritious food."

text: A century ago Ramon y Cajal dubbed the local short axon cells of the brain, the inhibitory interneurons, "the butterflies of the soul". With characteristic insight, he inferred that these populations, which possess such enormous morphological diversity, would ultimately prove to have an equally impressive breadth of functional attributes. Recent studies have born out this prediction and shown that inhibitory interneurons are much more than simple gatekeepers of excitation. Depending on which interneuron subtype is recruited they are able to refine or unite brain activity in a startling multitude of ways. The Fishell laboratory is focused on how this diversity is created. Understanding how this is accomplished during development remains one of the most daunting problems in biology. In particular, we wish to understand not only how the vast variety of inhibitory interneuron subtypes are generated but how they subsequently integrate into the bewildering array of neural circuits that are embedded in different brain structures. Our working hypothesis is that this is achieved through a two-step process. The first involves genetic programs that in accordance with their birthdate create a finite number of cardinal interneuron subtypes (Research Topic 1 - The Embryonic Specification of Interneurons). Following the tiling of these newly born cardinal subtypes across different brain structures, local cues act to create the definitive subtypes characteristic of the distinct cortical and subcortical areas (Research Topic 2 - Interneuron Integration and Synapse Formation). Importantly, as we have explored the molecular control of these events, it has become clear that perturbation of this process can result in a variety of brain dysfunctions including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability (ID) and schizophrenia. A new and growing interest in the laboratory is therefore aimed at seeing if better understanding of these developmental events can lead to the development of new treatments for these disorders (Research Topic 3 - Interneuron Function and Dysfunction).

Really – How Much Water Am I Supposed to Drink?
For something so simple as drinking water, there sure are a lot of opinions out there.
I've read suggestions that you should drink anywhere between five and ten 8-ounce glasses a day. There are even online water calculators that can determine your water needs.
Let me first tell you that your body has its own built-in water calculator and it just doesn't have to be that complicated, and that there is a wholly different way you can look at water intake that just might surprise you.
Your Body's Calculator
Here is the problem with the five to ten 9-ounce glasses theory:
While that sounds like good advice, it makes a blanket statement for everyone without ever considering who you are, where you live and what you are doing.
• You could be a person who lives in the North Pole or you could be living on the equator.
• You could be very skinny or you could be large.
• You could be a couch potato or you could be an ultra-athlete.
How can any blanket recommendation of ten glasses of water really apply to all of you?
Subscribe to the World's Most Popular Newsletter (it's free!)
To personalize water intake, you need to be able to measure how much water your body needs. Fortunately, you have a built-in measuring system that can tell you exactly what your water needs are: the color of your urine.
It works like this: the color of your urine (barring taking certain vitamins that change the color*) should be light colored or clear. If your urine is yellow or bright yellow, then you are not getting enough water. So, whether you are a runner, a slacker, a north or south dweller, enjoying the sun or the snow, you can determine your own personal water needs by simply looking down when you visit the bathroom.
Some days you will need a lot of water and some days you won't, it depends on many factors.
But here is something else you want to think about:
You Don't Need Extra Water
Maybe you don't need to drink any water, or at least you might not have to drink that much.
If you are following a diet such as what I recommend (80% vegetables or fruits and 20% proteins) then you will find that you are not that thirsty and that you pass the pee-test for having enough water.
The reason why you don't need to drink as much water is two-fold.
• The first is that there is a lot of water in fruits and vegetables and that they provide your body with a lot of its water needs.
• The second is that eating grains requires a lot of water. If you are not eating grains and sugar, you automatically drop your water needs.
This is because grains and sugars don't contain much water and need water to be able to move them through your system. I also think that many people are allergic to grains and this makes your body hold on to more water than it normally would.
I, personally, only drink one or two glasses of water a day unless I'm out running or biking. This is a dramatic change from when I used to eat a lot of grains and I would drink many glasses of water each day
* As highlighted in an interesting comment on this article contributed by "Nutrition Diva" Monica Reinagel [3] – that "A high-dose multivitamin (or anything with a high dose of riboflavin) will turn your urine bright yellow, having nothing to do with your hydration status. But basically, I'm on the same page with you." [Riboflavin is vitamin B2 [4] – an orange-red micronutrient sometimes used as a food color additive.]

A study of Internet usage in Nigerian universities: A case study of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria
The Internet is arguably one of the most significant technological developments of the late 20th century. However, despite the added benefits of this tool to learning, teaching and research, a number of problems still plague Internet connectivity and usage in the Nigerian University system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the level of utilization of the Internet for academic research at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Questionnaires were administered to postgraduate students spanning art and science based programmes. The results from the analysis of the responses showed that the use of the Internet ranked fourth (17.26 percent) among the sources of research materials. However, respondents who use the Internet ranked research materials (53.42 percent) second to e-mail (69.86 percent). The study concludes that the use of the Internet for academic research would significantly improve through the provision of more access points at Departmental and Faculty levels.

Published at Wednesday, March 14th, 2018 - 00:35:59 AM. Golf Club. By Viollette Provencher.
Now, you are probably thinking that custom golf clubs are even more expensive than name brand golf clubs. However, that is not necessarily the case. Not to mention that the fitted custom golf clubs you hear about aren't anything at all like custom golf clubs, they are made from scratch just for you. Don't get confused between fitted custom clubs and custom golf clubs. The fitted custom golf clubs simply start out with the standard set of clubs from any golf manufacturer and then they proceed to make the clubs more suitable to your personal and playing traits. Although the custom fitting doesn't do too much other than cost you money because they are starting with a product that doesn't fit you to begin with!
When you have your first custom golf club set made you may see some big differences from your last set of clubs. Your custom golf clubs may be a different length or the grip may be smaller or bigger. The flex may be different and the head might be different as well. For some people who set out to play with their custom golf clubs the first day they see amazing results. Others will need to make some changes and practice because although the custom golf clubs really fit their personal characteristics it's difficult to change after playing with clubs that don't fit for so long.

Here's to the new year: May it be a damn sight better than the old one.
It started out with such promise. We had a new president – one who promised to restore science to its rightful place in the councils of government (and, to our joy, he has). We had $10 billion in stimulus money for the National Institutes of Health to spend. Health-care reform looked imminent. The war in Iraq was winding down. I had only another one-and-a-half years as American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology president. All was well.
But as 2009 winds down, that feeling of optimism has given way to one of anxiety – almost of impending doom. Delight over the stimulus has become frustration with the NIH Challenge Grants in Health and Science Research and the fear that the 2011 NIH budget will be disastrously small. Health-care reform is being held hostage by a small group of senators who either wish to use it as way of restricting abortion rights or, one is forced to conclude, who may be in the pockets of the insurance industry. As the war in Iraq winds down, the war in Afghanistan is growing larger. And I still have six months to go as ASBMB president.
I thought it might be a good time to take stock of the state of science in general, and the state of the ASBMB in particular, as we get ready to welcome in the first year of the second decade of the 21st century. I have to say that I think the state of science is good, though still threatened from the usual sources. And, I think the ASBMB is healthy but would be healthier if we had more young members.
Let me start with the ASBMB. Online is where it's at. Last fall, we launched a new Web site for the Journal of Biological Chemistry, and now the editorial side is making adjustments (see article on p. 10). Our two other journals, the Journal of Lipid Research and Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, also will be getting similar Web sites in the coming year. MCP is going online-only in 2010, and JBC and JLR will follow when the time is right for our users. Along with that, we soon will have a new Web site for ASBMB Today, replacing the old online pseudo-journal format. We think that these represent real improvements in how we deliver content to our members over the World Wide Web. The sites are meant to be easier to navigate, easier to browse and packed with more opportunities to find more information. Our publications are intended to serve you, our members, first and foremost. So, write to us and let us know what you think of the new Web sites. And, if you have suggestions, please let us hear from you. We will listen.
As I said, I am still concerned with the demographics of our membership. I know this is also a major concern of my successor, Suzanne Pfeffer (and while I'm at it, let me offer her my condol – er, my congratulations on becoming president-elect) and that she already has a number of exciting ideas for getting more young people to join the society and for improving the ways in which we serve our younger members. But we still need your help. Please, urge your best postdoctoral fellows to take advantage of our free-for-the-first-year membership offer. We believe that once they experience the benefits of membership, they will want to continue. They're our lifeblood, and we are anemic at the moment.
Otherwise, the health of the society is good. Thanks to prudent fiscal management (which is to say I had no input into it whatsoever), our finances are in relatively good shape, and we have been able, despite the recession, to launch a few interesting new initiatives. One you will be reading more about in the coming months is a series of joint conferences in Latin America, sponsored by ASBMB and our sister society in Brazil. My counterpart in that society, Debora Foguel, and ASBMB past-President Bettie Sue Masters have taken the lead in getting this cooperation off the ground, for which I would like to convey my deepest thanks. The first meeting will take the form of an advanced school on the subject of biofuels, an area of biochemistry in which Brazil already is among the world's leaders. Watch ASBMB Today for more details.
Finally, our annual meeting, to be held in Anaheim, Calif., in April 2010, is looking to be very popular. Advance registration is running hot and heavy, so be sure to get yours in to secure your place at the Woodstock of biochemistry. (OK, I admit that Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin won't be there, but it will still be a great party.)
But, if the state of ASBMB is largely good, the same cannot be said of the state of science in general. As I write this, the U.S. Senate – the same Senate that seems to be using health-care reform as a football – has just passed an appropriations bill that calls for about a 2.3 percent increase in the NIH budget and about a 6.7 percent increase in the National Science Foundation budget. While the latter is on target with President Obama's stated intent to double the NSF budget, the former is below the expected level of scientific inflation. It would put the 2010 NIH budget at just under $31 billion. My Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology counterparts and I have calculated that we need a 2011 appropriation for NIH of about $37 billion to avoid a catastrophic shrinkage of the NIH Research Project Grant Program (R01) pool when the stimulus winds down.
Of course, everything will depend on the state of the economy around this time next year, and, if you can predict that, you don't need me to tell you anything. My guess is that we will see the gross domestic product, which I regard as a nearly useless statistic, grow by around 3 percent next year, which means the recession will be "officially" over. But I am also guessing that this will be a jobless recovery, by which I mean that unemployment will still be between 8 and 10 percent by the end of next year. If I'm right, a big boost for NIH will be very difficult to obtain – though not impossible – as the multiplier for NIH funds (the return to the economy for every dollar invested) is about $2.20.
Speaking of NIH, kudos to Jeremy M. Berg, the head of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, for managing to keep the payline at NIGMS for competing R01 applications at right around the 30th percentile, even when the stimulus money is not added in. I'm not going to ask him how he managed that particular feat of legerdemain when so many other NIH institute directors seemed to have had trouble doing so, but I suspect having fewer big science initiatives to fund didn't hurt.
Health-care reform is turning out to have more cliffhangers than the last Indiana Jones film. Without getting into the politics of it, let me simply say that it's going to be a very tough battle to get this passed. That's nothing new: Seven previous U.S. presidents have tried, and failed, to reform the health-care system in this country (beginning with Woodrow Wilson, who almost succeeded in 1916 but was interrupted by a little something called World War I, and ending with Bill Clinton, whose failure still rankles), so, if Obama succeeds, it will be a monumental accomplishment no matter what the bill looks like. But, make no mistake about it, this present reform is not about controlling costs – it's about getting everybody covered. There is no possibility that health-care costs will go down, for the long term, unless we address the soaring cost of end-of-life care and shift our mindset more toward prevention rather than treatment. All of this makes biomedical research an essential part of any real effort to get costs under control, which is another reason why I wouldn't give up just yet on that $37 billion NIH budget for 2011.
Looking back on 2009, though, the most ominous sign I see that all is not right with the world of science is the continued efforts on the part of religious fundamentalists to inject religious doctrine into the teaching of science in our public schools. Their latest ploy masquerades as "critical thinking" or "freedom of expression" and takes the form of laws prohibiting someone from being dismissed from his or her job for teaching the alleged controversy about evolution, by which they mean that it's perfectly OK for a so-called science teacher to present creationism, intelligent design and other Bible-in-science-clothing religious doctrines as legitimate alternatives to evolution, even though anyone who does so ought to be fired for incompetence. Don't be fooled: Fundamentalists have no interest in critical thinking. They do not want debates about the truth. Their intention is to replace science with religious doctrine, and I don't mean a choice of religions either. This is all about a very narrow, fundamentalist Christian point of view, one that seeks to replace evidence-based thinking with a blind faith in authority. It is very dangerous, it is not going away and it has to be fought.
And, for those of you in more secular Europe congratulating yourselves on not having this problem, let me point out to you that the American Association for the Advancement of Science ScienceInsider reported on Dec. 9 that Italy's foremost science agency actually funded the publication of a creationist book authored by its own vice president (http://bit.ly/8NADZF). Entitled "Evolutionism: The Decline of an Hypothesis," the book was funded by the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and authored by Roberto de Mattei, a professor of the history of Christianity and Catholicism at the European University of Rome and, as I said, a vice president of the council. The book is based on the proceedings of a conference on the same topic that was, believe it or not, sponsored by the council in February. Among its creationist claims, the book asserts that fossil-dating methods are wrong and that dinosaurs have been extinct for only 40,000 years. Now, you might think, Italy being a Catholic country, that the Roman Catholic Church was behind this somehow, but you'd be wrong. The fascinating thing about this is that physicist Nicola Cabibbo, president of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the group of scientists who advise the Pope, has expressed strong disapproval of CNR funding such a book. "The Catholic Church has accepted the thesis of evolutionism," he points out. All of which suggests to me that we are shooting ourselves in the foot if we make the strident voices of the Richard Dawkinses of the world our spokespeople. We have more in common with sensible people of faith than we sometimes realize, and we need to build bridges to them so we can join against the forces of ignorance.
So, here's to the new year – may it be a damn sight better than the old one. And may we all be healthier, happier and living in a more peaceful, more rational world when it's over.

As technology continues to move forward, so do customer expectations. Of all the questions we have been asked over the last couple of years, the most common by far has been " Can I view my security cameras on my cell phone". Up until now, the answer has been no. At this time, as far as I am aware, none of the high end DVRs in the market can be viewed by anything other than Mobile Windows cell phones. At least, until now. We are now ready to introduce our first Mobile Video Viewer. This software will allow anyone with a web enabled cell phone that uses a web browser capable of viewing images to see and even control PTZ (Pan-tilt-zoom) security cameras over the internet. This is the perfect Iphone application and will work with most cell phone that can surf the internet.
The software is free, but there is a one time license fee for each DVR. You can test the software first to make sure it works with your cell phone and then purchase the license after testing if you wish. The software is actually a video server that connects from any PC to your DVR and it streams video to your cell phone. The set up is very easy to do and we also provide free tech support. Think about the things you will be able to accomplish when you can view your surveillance cameras from anywhere on your cell phone or IPhone. You can check in on your employees while driving to work, check on your children while out to dinner, or keep an eye on your pet while traveling. The Mobile Viewer software will allow you to connect to multiple DVRs at one time and you can also set up cameras in groups. For more information on our Iphone and Cell Phone DVR viewer, please check out our website www.SecurityCameraKing.com.
**UPDATE** We are excited to offer our new cell phone viewing sofware that is compatible with iPhone and Android. View our Remote Video Viewing Software Downloads page in order to get the latest version and more information.
Is it possible to buy a cell phone that does not need electric charging? My buddies and I are going on a three month long road trip and we will most likely want o use our phones all throughout the trip without worrying about charging.
I cant get your Mobile Video Server to connect from my desktop to dvr
I can connect locally by imputting
server port is 2000
please respond ASAP

Chiefs secure Super Rugby playoff spot
The Chiefs kept their Super Rugby title defence alive as they slithered to an 11-8 win on Friday over the Blues in Auckland.
Eighth on the table overall, and fourth in the congested New Zealand conference going into the match, the Chiefs held on in horrendous conditions for the crucial win to secure their spot in the playoffs.
Undefeated at Eden Park this season, the Blues kept the Chiefs under huge pressure early on, pounding their line with a punishing series of five-metre scrums in heavy rain and strong winds.
They looked to have earned early reward when No.8 Jerome Kaino twisted over after five minutes, but a boot from halfback Tawera Kerr-Barlow dislodged the ball and the Chiefs survived the onslaught.
Already missing prop Tony Woodcock and loose forward Luke Braid to injury, the Blues suffered further loss after 18 minutes when a calf injury sidelined stand-in skipper Keven Mealamu in his record-equalling 162nd Super Rugby match.
The Chiefs conceded a swathe of early penalties as the Blues dominated the opening 20 minutes with 91 per cent territory and 70 per cent possession.
But the visitors' defence held strong before they broke clear and found some field position for Aaron Cruden to sink a 23rd-minute penalty which gave them a 3-0 lead they carried into halftime.
The Blues' faint hopes of making the playoffs faded further when inside centre Ma'a Nonu was sin-binned four minutes before the break for a no-arms tackle on Chiefs centre Tim Nanai-Williams.
But they made halftime without conceding further points, and an Ihaia West penalty five minutes after the restart levelled the scores just before Nonu's return.
A Liam Messam game-breaking intercept try came just three minutes later. With the Blues hot on attack, the Chiefs' flanker swooped on West's inside pass to Tevita Li and ran 70 metres to score.
Cruden extended the margin with a 45m penalty on 65 minutes, but the sin-binning of outstanding Chiefs lock Mike Fitzgerald three minutes later gave the Blues a sniff.
They shunted the Chiefs' scrum back from five metres out, and halfback Bryn Hill flicked the ball on for replacement winger George Moala to dive over in the corner.
But West couldn't sink the difficult conversion, and the Chiefs controlled the closing 10 minutes to wrap up the win.

Department of Revenue News Release
December 12, 2012College Students & Military Can Benefit from Helpful Holiday Season Tips
JEFFERSON CITY - The Missouri Department of Revenue is reminding college students, members of the armed forces and others returning home for the holidays to think about renewing their driver licenses and license plates while back in Missouri.
"When college students are home on their winter break or military personnel are on leave, it's an opportune time for them to review whether their driver licenses or license plates are about to expire," said Missouri Department of Revenue Director Alana M. Barragán-Scott. "While they are in Missouri, it's a good idea to take care of those issues to avoid future hassles when driver licenses or license plates lapse."
Barragán-Scott noted that many college-age students have driver licenses that expire when they turn 18 and 21 years old. There are about 358,000 licensed drivers aged 21 years old and younger in Missouri.
In most cases, driver licenses can only be renewed in person at one of 182 local license offices in Missouri. Drivers can find the nearest local office by visiting the Department of Revenue's website, www.dor.mo.gov. Driver license renewal notices are mailed to the last known addresses of licensed drivers about two months before the licenses expire.
Missouri allows renewal of driver licenses by mail only for active duty members of the armed forces and their dependents who are temporarily out of state. Qualified applicants must complete and send a renewal form along with other required documents and fees.
Questions about driver license renewals can also be directed to email@example.com or (573) 751-4600.
Meanwhile, license plates can be renewed through the mail, in person at a local license office, or in many cases, online. Renewal notices are mailed to a vehicle's owner about two months before the plates expire.
To renew a license plate online, drivers can visit plates.mo.gov, and will need their Personal Identification Number which is included on the registration renewal form. Those who are not eligible include citizens of counties that are not participating in the program, and owners of specialty license plates where additional fees are required for sponsoring organizations.
All license plate renewals can also be handled through the mail. Necessary documents and fees would need to be mailed to Missouri Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Bureau, P.O. Box 100, Jefferson City, MO 65105. Questions about how to handle mail transactions, or any general questions about license plate renewal, can be directed to email@example.com or (573) 526-3669.

Would Sponsorship Work for Me?
Her post had many creative ideas1 including using sponsorship as a way to cut down costs. Yes, sponsorship. Lynn got very creative with sponsorship, even stepping out of the realm of genealogy. One of her sponsors for a previous conference was a jewelry maker. (You'll have to read the post to see how she pulled that off and what she did in return.)
Lynn suggested, to me and all others wishing to cut down on costs, to consider sponsorship as an option.
I'm open to the idea of sponsorship but I'm not sure if it will work for me or not. Where would I fit in?
First off, I want to attend lectures when I go to a conference. That might conflict with a sponsor who is looking for representation in their booth. I wouldn't mind doing stints in a booth but I wouldn't want to miss talks by Elizabeth Shown Mills or Tom Jones to do it.
I wouldn't mind being a sponsored speaker but that's a whole other ballgame and usually reserved for people who work for a specific company or contract with one.
Lynn got very creative by being sponsored by a jewelry maker. I think that is awesome but I personally don't wear jewelry (except for rings).
My focus is on New England genealogy, house histories, brick walls and cemetery research. A company that fits that bill is the New England Historic Genealogical Society but they've got a full staff of people they send to conferences so I doubt they would need another one.
I haven't worked with too many brands. I like to write about things that I really believe in. I want to ensure that my voice stays authentic. So I am very careful about what I will write about.
There are brands that I adore - Adobe and Apple. They are awfully big brands and don't really have a historical bent.
Clearly I'm going about this the wrong way.
I do think there is a fit somewhere with me and sponsorship. Perhaps I just don't know myself well enough to be able to see who would be interested in sponsoring me. I'm going to have to give this a lot more thought.
Read Lynn's post and let me know what you think about the idea of sponsorship. Would you consider doing it yourself? How would you go about it? And perhaps you know my blog better than I do. What direction do you think I could take in regards to sponsorship?
Such an intriguing topic and much food for thought!
4 comments:
I think another problem, Marian, is our industry isn't trained to this sponsorship model like other industries. In the Mommy Blogging industry, for example, sponsorship is not only accepted, but expected. And that, in and of itself, can be and currently is a big problem with authenticity on a person's blog. Additionally, as you mentioned, our industry generally already has representation at conferences.ReplyDelete
I'm not sure about the sponsorship idea for genealogy-related businesses, and once a non-business genealogy blogger starts taking sponsorships, they've initiated a business, of sorts, or at the very least, a business transaction.
So, I don't know.
What about Home Depot, or Lowes, or a more "boutique" renovation and remodeling place? I've lived my entire life in a succession of 100yo houses, and just the maintenance is part-time job (never mind improvements). It's been a challenge to find builders who are also craftsmen and understand the aesthetics and special qualities of my older homes.ReplyDelete
Other ideas: Houstory Publishing. Benjamin Moore for their Historic Paint Colors Collection. You wouldn't need to staff a booth - maybe just agree to hand out samples?
Maybe Historic New England would be a good fit. I don't know much about them or their business plan, though.ReplyDelete
You said that you like Apple & Adobe "but they don't have a historic bent". Yet you & other genealogists use them, right? I would say: don't count them out. Might they want brand presence in this growing market? I'm not saying that I know how it would all work, but what I am saying is: don't be so quick to shut it down; you never know what you may be able to pull off!ReplyDelete

Very disappointed with this cream. it had a horrible smell and could barely spread it around and there would be a thin coating left over like if you applied too much sun block
this is a very versatile creme and is the best I have ever used. It can be used for deep tissue or swedish and is wonderful for foot work. It is my favorite creme to use on my clients with sensitive skin too. It has a very light scent and isn't full of a bunch of chemicals.
I've been using this cream for years. I love it and so do my clients. Just the right hint of lavender and glide without leaving a greasy residue.
Smells terrible.
We had samples of this in massage school and I was hooked from then on. The glide and drag is perfect and it can be worked for a long time. It doesn't feel wet or chill the client like a lotion and it doesn't run out of your hand when you pump it, like an oil.

new FS rules
New U.S. Forest Service rule could accelerate trail deconstruction
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The U.S. Forest Service has adopted a new rule that will allow the agency to fast-track the destruction of motorized trails, the American Motorcyclist Association reports.
On Sept. 12, the Forest Service published a final rule in the Federal Register that adds three new "categorical exclusions" to its national Environmental Policy Act regulations "for activities that restore lands negatively impacted by water control structures, natural- and human-caused events, and roads and trails."
Categorical exclusions allow the agency to act without preparing a costly and time-consuming environmental assessment or environmental impact statement to determine the project's impacts.
Among other things, the new rule allows the U.S. Forest Service to obliterate "unneeded and unauthorized roads and trails" without doing an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement. The rule can't be used for recognized National Forest System Roads and National Forest System Trails.
When using the categorical exclusion related to roads and trails, the rule says U.S. Forest Service officials "will conduct appropriate scoping and public involvement assuring that citizen views are taken into account in an appropriate manner given the context of the decisions being made."
The rule also states that "this category will not be used to make access decisions about which roads and trails are to be designated for public use."
When the Forest Service sought public comments on the proposal last year, the AMA expressed concerns that the proposed rule would "allow a categorical exclusion from the current environmental review to accelerate the pace of road and trail deconstruction. In other words, these new categorical exclusions will make it much easier for the Forest Service to reduce the number and mileage of trails."
The AMA also asked why a categorical exclusion wasn't proposed for instances when the Forest Service restores trails for the safety of users.
"Now, more than ever, it's important for all riders to contact their local national forest and get on the contact list to be notified when the local forest plans to take any action on trails," said Wayne Allard, AMA vice president for government relations. "Since the Forest Service can move quickly to destroy trails, we must be prepared to move quickly to voice our concerns as motorized recreation enthusiasts when we can."
About the American Motorcyclist Association
Founded in 1924, the AMA is a not-for-profit member-based association whose mission is to promote the motorcycle lifestyle and protect the future of motorcycling. As the world's largest motorcycling rights and event sanctioning organization, the AMA advocates for riders' interests at all levels of government and sanctions thousands of competition and recreational events every year. The AMA also provides money-saving discounts on products and services for its members. Through the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Pickerington, Ohio, the AMA honors the heroes and heritage of motorcycling. For more information, visit www.americanmotorcyclist.com.

Forest Service Rule Would Allow for Expedited Trail Removal McClintock Amendment Would Ensure Accountability
The Forest Service recently finalized the National Environmental Policy Act: Categorical Exclusions for Soil and Water Restoration Activities Rule which would allow for the obliteration and removal of legally-created roads and trails that many off-highway vehicle enthusiasts were promised would be reconsidered for inclusion in Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) revisions. As a result, Representative Tom McClintock (R-CA) introduced an amendment to H.R. 1526, the Restoring Healthy Forests for Healthy Communities Act, that would prohibit the U.S. Forest Service from removing or altering any legally created roads or trails unless there has been a specific decision, which included adequate and appropriate public involvement, to decommission the specific road or trail in question. This amendment passed the full House today, (September 20).
The motorized recreation community expressed serious concerns to the Forest Service, in face-to-face meetings, phone conversations, written correspondence and in formal comments that the rule as proposed would allow for the obliteration of legally-created roads and trails that many off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts were promised would be reconsidered for inclusion in Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) revisions. Unfortunately changes made to the final rule did not adequately address our concerns.
The final rule would allow any non-system road or trail to be obliterated via major ground disturbing activity through an expedited process that does not include environmental analysis. Other than minimal comment requirements under NEPA for Categorical Exclusions, the new rule eliminates requirements for meaningful public involvement.
McClintocks amendment to H.R. 1526, if enacted into law, would ensure that a formal decision, including public notification, comment and involvement, must be made to decommission a legally created road or trail before it could be removed.
Further, while non-system roads and trails may be off limits to off-highway vehicles as a result of the MVUM they may still be open to other recreational uses, including snowmobiles, yet the final rule would allow a CE to be used to remove these roads and trails ensuring that these user groups never have an opportunity to comment at any point in the process. The agency has, with very few exceptions, failed to analyze the existing and potential future demand for continuing use of non-system routes for non-motorized uses. The McClintock amendment will ensure that all users have voice in the process.

Postgame Avs-Sharks, Game 3 — Soft Boyled egg on Sharks faces
Not really sure where to begin on this one. I've seen the replays a few times now, and I still am not sure how on god's green earth Dan Boyle's backhander from deep in the left corner went past Evgeni Nabokov to end tonight's 1-0 Avs win in Game 3.
Was Nabokov just so plain bored from inactivity? Were the Sharks feeling sorry for the Avs, who hadn't seemed to have a shot on goal in about three hours, that they decided to help out with one themselves?
Whatever, as Matt Duchene said after the game, it was the "flukiest" thing he's ever seen in hockey. And I think I second that. The question lingering after the game was "Did O'Reilly get a stick blade on Boyle's backhander?" I keep watching the replay, and just can't really tell. Either way, O'Reilly got the luck of the Irish bounce on that one.
But that's enough about the weird goal. The story of tonight begins and ends with Craig Anderson. Kevin Weekes, now a hockey analyst for the CBC and the NHL Network, called Andy's performance one of the best goaltending performances he's ever seen — period. I'll second that as well. I hesitate to say it was the best goalie performance in Avs playoff history, because I was there the night Patrick Roy made 63 saves in Game 4 of the 1996 Stanley Cup Finals in Florida, in another 1-0 win. But this game might have had better scoring chances for San Jose overall than Florida that night.
By the end of third period, it entered some kind of "OK, this is just ridiculous" zone. Especially with the Sharks getting every single call the final two periods, they were just camped out in the Avs' zone, doing anything they wanted offensively. Anything but score.
(Speaking of calls, I can't wait to hear the Sharks tomorrow, and some of their electronic boosters in the media. Let's see if they start carping about a suspension for TJ Galiardi, for his boarding hit on Devin Setoguchi. Guaranteed, if a Shark did that, it's just a good, hard hit and a bad call on the boarding. That's hockey, as they said after Rob Blake's blatant punch to the face of Galiardi while leaving his feet in Game 2.
And, I don't care if I get called a homer or not by some yahoo who doesn't know a wrist shot from a wrist watch, but some of the calls were absolutely awful again tonight against the Burgundy and Blue. Ryan Stoa's roughing call with 12 minutes left in the second period was the worst in my book. He was just involved in a scrum where everybody was grabbing each other, and they call the rookie for "roughing." Craig Anderson was literally run over at one point (no call), Brandon Yip was completely tripped another time (no call) and Ryane Clowe held at least three Avs' players' sticks at times (no calls).
Let's face it, though, the Sharks were by far the better team tonight. And the Avs can't play like that again and expect Andy to pull another rabbit out of his hat. It would be tempting to say the Sharks' huge shot advantage is because they lost Milan Hejduk in the first period — it's a shame Paul Stastny's hardest hit of the season had to cost his team their second-line right winger — but the Sharks also were without a top guy, Dany Heatley.
The Sharks wouldn't specify any area of the body where Heatley's injury occurred and kept him out of Game 3 — a violation of NHL bylaws and that might subject them to a fine. But the Sharks can't control the media, and thanks to the sharp cameras of the CBC in Canada, Heatley was shown to have a leg injury suffered in Game 2 when he got tangled up with Chris Stewart. Heatley could barely push off with his skate after getting tangled up with Stewart.
The worry I would have as an Avs fan is: "Where is the offense going to come from if they can't get a Hejduk or Peter Mueller back anytime soon?" I hesitate to say this, as an out of shape newspaper reporter, but it may be time for the Avs to ask a guy or two to play hurt soon. The Avs' attitude on injuries always seems to be: "They won't come back until they are absolutely 100 percent healthy," but can you afford to have that attitude in the playoffs? But, again, that's easy for me to say.
If Hejduk or Mueller have brains that are scrambled eggs right now, then, no, they can't play. But as the great Dan Jenkins wrote, "You gotta play hurt" sometimes. I don't know, I just wonder how long the Avs can take the conservative approach with injuries, because they're going to need a guy or two back at some point soon. You have to hope that David Jones, at least, can get the green light to play. The guy has been skating hard at practice for about two weeks now. Why can't he suit up in a game?
The Sharks played as well as any team can play in those final two periods. They were just unbelievable, really. They were the first to every single puck and did everything right. They just couldn't score. They've put 104 shots on goal the last two games, and the Avs have blocked a ton of shots in those two games too. But this is why they say goaltending is the most important position in hockey.
You all have to listen to Marc Moser's call of the Boyle/O'Reilly goal. The Moshe was hopped up on 5-hour Energy and coffee all night, and it shows. Fast forward to the 6:33 mark for the call of the final goal.
Here's a little video to send you all gently into the good night. First up, the Andy Man. "The Andy Man Can Cuz he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good:"
And Matt Duchene. Let's hope the kid stays healthy:

Rachel and another carpet
Rachel McAdams looked gorgeous last night on the red carpet for the Hollywood premiere of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. I never used to like her as a blonde. Now I love her as a blonde. Is it just a matter of getting accustomed to it?
Rachel is not in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Rachel is not Annalynne McCord or various and the like. Rachel doesn't usually show up to a premiere for a movie that isn't hers or her boyfriend's just to be seen. It's really not a common practice for actors at a certain level. And if they're going to break with that habit, it's even more uncommon for them to do it for a movie like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island starring The Rock of all things.
What's this about then?
The official Hollywood premiere for The Vow, her own film, is on Monday, February 6th. But it certainly doesn't hurt to get her face out there, both for the audience and for the people who make movie decisions. Which is great. Like, obviously she wants it. She's willing to do what she needs to get it.
I just... I mean...
Had they told her to be doing it in 2006, she might not have to still be doing it now, you know?

Ben Zobrist lifts Rays over Twins in 13th inning
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Solid pitching, stellar defense and disciplined offense that produced just enough runs to win again was a successful combination for the Rays again.
"It's just a formula for success in baseball when you do those different things," manager Joe Maddon said after the Tampa Bay Rays won their season-best seventh straight game on Wednesday night, beating the struggling Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Ben Zobrist's RBI single with two outs in the 13th inning.
"That's pretty basic, good stuff that everybody attempts to achieve," Maddon added. "But that's why we're winning as many games as we have."
BOX SCORE:Rays 4, Twins 3 (13)
Zobrist lined a 1-2 pitch from Ryan Pressly (2-1) into the gap in right-center field, ending a 4-hour, 47-minute game that featured 35 strikeouts — 19 for Rays pitchers.
Tampa Bay climbed to a season-best 12 games over .500. The second-place Rays also improved to 9-1 during a stretch of 14 consecutive games against the Twins, Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros — teams with the three worst records in the American League.
The Twins have has lost 10 of 11, including four straight. They tied a franchise record by fanning 19 times for the first time since 1968.
"A long night," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "A lot of pitches thrown by both teams. A lot of missed opportunities."
Cesar Ramos (2-2) got two outs, escaping a jam with runners at first and third in the 13th to get the win.
Yunel Escobar singled with one out in the 13th and took second with two outs on Pressly's errant pickoff throw. After Luke Scott walked on a full count, Zobrist singled.
"I've had some timely hits, but it's been up and down the lineup," Zobrist said. "You think about the hits Luke Scott had today and the hits he's had lately, and you can't say enough tonight about our bullpen, shutting it down with men in scoring position and getting a lot of big strikeouts."
Pedro Florimon hit a two-run, third-inning homer and Clete Thomas had a RBI single in the fifth to give the Twins a 3-1 lead against Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson.
Kelly Johnson's two-run homer off Minnesota starter Kevin Correia made it 3-all in the sixth.
The game ended just before midnight, just over 12 hours before the teams wrap up a four-game series Thursday afternoon.
"When you win a game like that, there's a residual energy. When you don't win a game like that, you have to go looking for that energy," Maddon said. "It doesn't mean you win the next day, but it definitely makes it easier to walk in the door."
The Twins wasted opportunities to take the lead in the ninth and 11th. They failed to take advantage of a pair of singles to begin the ninth against closer Fernando Rodney, and let reliever Jamey Wright off the hook when Oswaldo Arcia grounded out to strand runners at second and third base in the 11th.
Arcia also couldn't get the potential go-ahead run home in the 13th, striking out after Joe Mauer singled and moved to third on Ryan Doumit's two-out single off Ramos.
"He was just swinging out of the zone, going a little crazy there. A young kid trying to do too much," Gardenhire said of the 22-year-old Arcia's struggles. "Trying to hit an eight-run homer. ... All we need is one guy in, and he's swinging like a mad man. ... That's what happens with kids. You've got to live with it."
Tampa Bay nearly won it in the 10th. Wil Myers singled with two outs, and running on a 3-2 pitch would have scored easily from first base on Johnson's line drive that Twins center fielder Aaron Hicks leaped to catch before crashing into the wall.
Hellickson had won four consecutive starts, matching the longest streak of his career, before Wednesday night. The 26-year-old right-hander allowed three runs, six hits and struck out eight in six innings.
Correia limited the Rays to three singles and Escobar's second-inning sacrifice fly until James Loney singled to open the sixth. Johnson, in the lineup because of his history of success against the Minnesota starter, followed with his fifth home run in 25 career at-bats against Correia.
NOTES: Evan Longoria went 1 for 4 with an infield single, two walks and a pair of strikeouts. The Tampa Bay star is 6 for 44 with no extra-base hits over his last 14 games — the longest extra-base hit drought of his career. ... Johnson went 2 for 3 against Correia and is 9 for 25 lifetime against the right-hander. ... Florimon's homer was his first since June 9 at Washington. ... Since being promoted from Triple-A Durham for the second time this season on June 1, Rays LHP Alex Torres leads all American League relievers who've worked a minimum of 15 innings with an 0.42 ERA. He's allowed one earned run in last 21 2-3 innings, while limiting opposing hitters to an .085 batting average. ... Tampa Bay RHP Alex Cobb, out since being hit in the right ear by a line drive on June 15, is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. ... Minnesota 1B Justin Morneau singled in the ninth for his 1,276th career hit, tying Gary Gaetti for seventh on the Twins' all-time list.

This recipe is part of the Roasted Organic Golden & Red Beet Stacks With Fresh Herbed Goat Cheese, but it can be enjoyed with other preparations as well.
Delicious blood oranges have crimson or "blood"-colored flesh, the result of the pigment anthocyanin, not typically found in citrus, but common to other red fruits and flowers. Depending on the variety, the outside may look like a regular orange or feature telltale washes of red.
There are three cultivars (varieties) of blood orange:
While imported blood orange juice is beginning to appear in stores nationwide, in the U.S., blood oranges are in season from December to March (Texas), and from November to May (California). Enjoy them at their affordable best! This vinaigrette recipe was developed by Laura Klein, an organic chef and publisher of OrganicAuthority.com.
Makes 1-1/3 cups.
Chef's Note
You can use any of your favorite oils and/or fresh herbs to make this outstanding dressing. This dressing pairs excellently with raspberries and fresh organic greens. As always use as many organic ingredients you can find for optimum flavor.

Oprah Winfrey has had a host of guests visit her famous couch over the years who have offered life advice to her audience of millions, but could "True Blood's" Ryan Kwanten be heading there in the coming months?
Ryan, who plays the ripped-but-intellectually-light Jason Stackhouse on the hit HBO vampire series, isn't just an actor – he's a writer too, one who has penned his own self-help book "The G-Strategy."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: From Australia To Bon Temps: It's 'True Blood' Star Ryan Kwanten
Likely due for release in "early-mid next year," the Australian actor told AccessHollywood.com recently that the book is part self-help guide, part parody, depending on the reader.
So is he taking aim at the books men and women buy to help boost their self esteem, Access asked?
VIEW THE PHOTOS: 'True Blood' Season 3 Premiere
"It's actually both men and women, the self help books," he said. "Predominantly, with men, it's more the finance type world. With those, you've got the Wall Street guys that lap up anything that is a chance to make a quick buck and then with the women, I guess it's sort of the more — without being too generalized — sort of the more emotional sort of type stuff that's gonna make you happy."
When asked if he's making fun of the genres, Ryan said not quite.
"Not really, well it is, but in a very aggressive type way," he said. "I gave it to a couple of my friends and they've got back to me sort of a week or two later, saying, 'Oh my God, Ryan! Were did you get [the book],'" he recounted. "I didn't tell them that I wrote it, and they got back to me a week or two later saying, 'Oh my God! This is really helping me out.' One of my friends said his sex life has never been better, they've just taken it as gospel."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Big Hair! Wild Fashions! Oprah Winfrey Over The Years
"The G-Strategy" isn't completely finished, thanks to his intense "True Blood" Season 3 shooting schedule, and two new films he's got on board for this summer — "Knights of Badassdom," with Steve Zahn, and "Truck Stop."
The finished manuscript, however, is due to the publishers by September, and after its release, Ryan said he's open to visiting Ms. O's couch.

"If Oprah will have me, that would be kind of hilarious," he said. "But I still don't know in terms of the publicity pitch whether we're going to pitch it as a satire… or as a real self help book."

Moderate plyometric training with weights has shown significant gains in vertical leap beyond that achieved with only weight training. One of the major benefits of the all pro wearable weights is the fact that the weight can be adjusted in small increments, allowing you to gradually increase the weight to keep your body challenged and in the maximum gain zone.

Studies reported in the Physician & Sports Medicine demonstrated that adding 5 pound weights to each ankle increased caloric burn by 25 percent.
Weighted Vests:
The concept behind weighted vest training is to train the body at a heavier weight than it is accustomed. Many people use a weighted vest to add resistance during chin-ups and dips, but to truly take advantage of the weighted vest, you need to incorporate it into your overall workout regimen. With weighted vest training you will find that your conditioning level will improve along with your strength, power, and quickness.

There isn't a single generation that hasn't had the opportunity to fall in love with Ed Asner, the KCK native turned TV icon. He portrayed the gruff Lou Grant on the "Mary Tyler Moore" show, then went on to shine on screen for "Hawaii Five-O" and "Thunder Alley." Younger audiences couldn't help but adore him as Carl Frederickson, the apathetic widower in Pixar's "Up," and as Santa Claus in "Elf" with Will Ferrell. Asner has won more Emmys for his performances than any other male actor and is one of the most highly sought-after voice actors in the world. His rough-around-the-edges charisma keeps us charmed (and laughing) on and off the set.
Kansas City is known for its fabulous barbeque, but what many people don't know is just how many famous male celebrities hail from the area. Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt needs no introduction. Ed Asner, star of the 'Mary Tyler Moore' show, Oscar winner Chris Cooper, 'Desperate Housewives star Tuc Watkins, and comedy star Paul Rudd are all KC natives.
KC is well represented in the sports world by 8 time major winner Tom Watson and the Kansas City Chiefs' Brandon Flowers. Renowned designer Hal Swanson, sculptor Tom Corbin and photographer Greg Gorman are all from KC too. Legendary jazz performer Bobby Watson is also from KC.
