Ohio State football made their own version of 'MTV Cribs'

By JESS KLEINSCHMIDT
One of our biggest MTV show guilty pleasures (besides Teen Mom, it's okay you can admit it) had to be the popular show Cribs. The show took you inside the lavish humble abodes of our favorite celebrities and athletes.
Ohio State Football players Craig Fada and Joe Burger take you on a tour of their 1,532 square foott, 3 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment in Columbus, Ohio.
"Welcome to 201," they say as the camera crew flies through the front door.
Burger, clenching a red mug in his right hand says the famous words: "Alright, welcome to our crib."
The apartment is decked out with Ohio State decor complete with a poster of Coach Urban Meyer as well as a music station.
"It gets pretty wild around here," says Fada.
Atop the granite counter island in the kitchen sits a Mens Fitness magazine while the instrumental version of "Make Me Better" by Fabolous plays in the background.
Of course no NCAA Football pad is complete without it's own video game paradise. Burger and Fada show off their man cave with an XBox 360 console.
"This is where we dominate fools online," boasts Burger.
Fada is first on the list to give a tour of his room. He shows off his jewelry and his "secret tank top drawer." He calls himself a "tank fiend."
Then of course the infamous line as he jumps on his bed:
"This is where all the magic happens."
As the camera goes quickly to Burger's room, he begins to talk about his backpacks, then his shoes. He loves his Sperry's.
The middle room is decorated with funky light bulb words on the wall spelling out "The Grind." I think the "E" was originally supposed to be an "M," but it is still aesthetically pleasing. The words are sandwiched between two over sized silver bullets.
"It's all the silver bullets," he says. "We rep the defense around here. No offensive players are allowed. It's all about the bullets."
The linebackers then cue the shades and show you what it's like when the sun goes down. "The Grind" sign lights up and the apartment turns into a make-shift nightclub complete with colorful lights.
They finalize the tour in the garage which would make a rich man weak in the knees, calling the cars their "whips."
I'm a bit disappointed guys, no look into the refrigerator?

Outdated Zoning Stymies Development
"Developers have complained of difficulty in navigating the process, which often involves special exceptions and amendments to current regulations, DSSD President Sandra Goldstein said Tuesday night in a presentation before planning and zoning board members.
"We realized, as did the Urban Redevelopment Commission, that there were more planning and zoning exceptions to our zoning regulations than straight applications," said Goldstein, whose agency is a special taxing district that promotes downtown businesses and services. "Developers were at a loss about what zoning was for the downtown.""

My first overzealous project was a personal one: while I was growing an actual human being, I was also overcome with the desire to give him the credentials needed to pass through the infinite unconscious into the mortal plane. Amazingly, there's a full bureaucracy which takes care of these things.
Our baby shower invitations. Get it?!
For some reason I thought that designing an eight-page booklet that would have to be constructed by hand when we were blisteringly exhausted from trying to figure out which way the baby went was a really good idea.
The Interdimensional Federation issued this passport. Their slogan is "Birth and Consciousness Since the Big Bang."
Man, that's one cute...baby?
Clearly not able to sign a passport, the Interdimensional Federation gets footprints instead.
You know, AUTHENTIC-like.
The "Tips for Travelers" page is a real thing in passports, or at least was in the expired passport I looked at. One must imagine that the tips would be very different for Interdimensional travelers.
The visas are a whole other kettle of fish: where the heck is Beltamana, anyway? It's nice that your speciation is noted, though. Very thoughtful. You wouldn't want the "soul" to end up in the wrong creature or anything.
Like, what would have happened if the border agents had mis-marked him as a wombat or something?
Because more visas is more better.
For the circular visa, I left space for our son's official arrival, a.k.a. "birth." After we printed them–delirious and totally confused–we stamped the date in them.
Clearly the bureaucracy isn't going to update their look. They probably have 2 to the quadrillionth power of these suckers printed up, so it would be a total waste of Interdimensional funds.
Their slogan: "Birth and Consciousness Since the Big Bang."
Innuendo? Who can say.
Not content to leave it at a passport, when our homo sapiens sapiens turned one, I created the ticket which got him through the cosmos.
They hyphenate "Portland" for some reason.
We used to joke that our son's ultrasound photos looked like the Horsehead Nebula, hence his way-station.
Not good if detached, of course.

We asked each of our partner charities for one word that resonates closely with the work they do.
At Sustainable Coastlines, 'enabling people to look after the place that they love' is our mission. Enabling takes many forms. Sure, it's great to organise a big event from conception to execution to Instagram avalanche, but it's the subtle processes that give us the greatest daily satisfaction. We enable through collaboration: making or sharing events for a community group who aren't comfortable with social media; connecting a restoration team with their local school; handing out gloves and bags; calling the council to pick up rubbish; or finding trees for a teacher who is looking for ways to get their students planting. Sometimes it's just a phone call, an email, a cup of tea or putting great people in touch with other great people. Communicating leads to enabling in this tiny village we call Aotearoa.
At UpsideDowns, we understand the difference having a voice can make. It is something many of us take for granted – being able to communicate our needs, desires, feelings and personalities. Voice can mean the words and language we use, but also the power and confidence to represent ourselves in the world, to make ourselves heard in our whānau and our communities. Having a voice is something that doesn't come as easily to kids with Down syndrome. Without specialist help, many of our kids might never be able to find theirs. People with Down syndrome have so much to say, and we all have so much to gain by being able to hear their voices. At UpsideDowns, we're here to help people find theirs.
Kai. It's something we need everyday, and yet it's easy to forget that even in New Zealand a significant number of people can't afford it. Not only is it essential for survival, it can be a bridge to help people in other ways. Kai can be a conversation starter for a counsellor working with vulnerable youth, or a way to create social interaction with people feeling isolated. Kai can be a tool to help former refugees connect to their new communities, or a means of support for those struggling with addiction. Each day, at Kaibosh we see how the power of kai rescue and redistribution goes far beyond physical nourishment. It's a wonderful thing.
At The Neonatal Trust, support can mean a whole bunch of things while also meaning everything. Support is making sure someone's baby gets the absolute best care possible. Support is making someone laugh when they are going through something deeply difficult. Support is explaining something complicated in a calm, kind way. Support is letting someone cry on your shoulder. Support is getting someone a coffee with milk and two sugars after a long night in the waiting room. Support is being on the other end of the phone when someone needs to talk. Support is making something hard a little bit easier. Support is everything.
Without our health, we have nothing. It is the number one thing we need before we can engage in anything else. In New Zealand, we're fortunate to have a health system that is accessible to everyone. Our neighbours in the Asia-Pacific region are not so lucky. In places like Fiji, Pakistan, Nepal and the Solomon Islands access to even the most basic healthcare is a challenge. It's an unacceptable social injustice that we want to change. Take My Hands strive to reduce the medical inequity that exists in the Asia-Pacific region and improve the health of as many people as we can. After that, the sky's the limit.
Nurturing is 'to take care of, to feed, to protect and to help develop' and is at the heart of everything Bellyful does. Across the country, our volunteers nurture our meals: cheese sauce is stirred carefully, lasagne sheets are laid with love and freezer temperatures are strictly controlled. We constantly nurture our branches and our wonderful volunteers to help them grow and develop both individually and as a team. Most importantly, Bellyful nurtures the community by feeding families struggling with illnesses and with newborn babies, and by feeding connections between the community and other organisations. Nurturing takes a lot of work and a lot of heart, but here at Bellyful, it's so, so worth it.
At Garden to Table, we see growing food from a seed as a magical process. With a few simple elements (soil, water, sun, nutrients) and some tender loving care, the tiny seed germinates and starts to become a plant. Through gardening, children can learn how to nurture. If the seed does not germinate, or the plant does not thrive, we don't blame the plant but look to discover what is lacking. Perhaps the soil is depleted, or the seed is not getting enough sun or water. Children at Garden to Table are taught to grow and nurture individual plants and to give them the care they need. Once the plant has given off its goodness and the kai is harvested, children learn how to grow and nurture themselves and others by turning it into delicious food for all to share. What's not to love about that?
Imagine; that's something we do a lot at Inspiring Stories. Imagine a world where women were not allowed to vote because of their gender. Crazy right?! Way back in the day that was normal. A small and courageous group of people decided to step up and do something about it. They rallied together, mobilised the community and, 125 years ago, a petition was presented to Parliament that gave women the right to vote. New Zealand became the first country in the world to do so. Talk about an inspiring story! How might we build a more inclusive, equal and sustainable future? What could the next 125 years look like?! Just imagine.
TUKU ATU TUKU MAI – giving and receiving.
At DCM, we are committed to the spirit and practice of generosity and reciprocity, supporting taumai to enhance their own mana.
We tell taumai that we have a waka ready, and that we will journey with them – to sustainable housing and greater wellbeing. However, if we pick up the paddle (ki te hoe) and they do not, the waka will not go forward. Rather it will go around in circles. We are in this together; we do this together.
A commitment to Tuku Atu Tuku Mai recognises that being able to contribute enhances the mana of each of us. When we all work together, everyone can journey forward and thrive.
Defending means to protect from harm or danger. For the hundreds of thousands of children from Burma living in extreme poverty, harm or danger takes many forms. Exposure to both drug and human trafficking, land mines, disease and conflict are constant threats. With absolutely no social safety net, there is a limited supply of food, shelter is very basic and education opportunities are often non-existent. SpinningTop works with local communities helping build and run education and agriculture projects – defending the basic rights of these children.
At Ngā Rangatahi Toa we believe that deep connection is essential for us all to thrive. Connection, for us, is bringing our best selves, so we can connect into our creative selves and our learning selves. One does not exist in isolation to the other. When we can be vulnerable and held safely, creativity unlocks our learning. When we learn from this space, we care for each other. When we care for each other, we aspire to be more – together.
You can share one regular donation between as many of our partner charities as you like. We pass on 100% of your donations, share stories with you and simply provide one donation receipt at the end of the tax year. It's never been easier to support these amazing causes with your 1%.

Oh me, oh my have you started your holiday shopping yet?! Perhaps it's because our office is located in the heart of some fabulous Boston shopping, but it seems that everyone is getting an early and aggressive start on things. As I've been perusing stores and websites alike, I must say how much I'm appreciating all of the polkadots that are festively hanging around. Have you been catching on to this as well? I'm a sucker for dots myself, and as soon as I spotted this little number on the Glitter Guide, it re-ignited my obsession. Hence today's shoesday pick would be these darling stilettos by Monolo Blahnik:
Craving more dots? Check out this cashmere infinity scarf at Nordys! Such a steal!

Yahoo! News fired Washington bureau chief David Chalian after he was caught saying Mitt Romney and his wife are "happy to have a party with black people drowning."
POLITICO reported Chalian was caught making the remarks inadvertently on mic during an ABC News/Yahoo! News webcast.
Chalian said, "They're not concerned at all. They're happy to have a party with black people drowning."
The comment refers to the fact the Republicans are holding their convention in Tampa while Hurricane Isaac barrels down on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
More from GlobalPost: Black CNN camera woman at RNC had food thrown at her by GOP attendees, witnesses say
Conservative watchdog website NewsBusters posted video of the incident.
Yahoo! responded by releasing a statement distancing itself from the comments:
"David Chalian's statement was inappropriate and does not represent the views of Yahoo!. He has been terminated effective immediately. We have already reached out to the Romney campaign, and we apologize to Mitt Romney, his staff, their supporters and anyone who was offended."

Cabinet of Curiosities
Within the natural history of this brand resides an accompaniment of how, when, why, where, and what. While even the corners of the studio are seething with the answers as a whole, it seems important to write about the many variables that come into play. Each design has been steeped in these brews of specifics before their manifestation into existence. They are fabricated from particular ideas and notions and influence of the cabinet compartments that incorporate our intimate apparel.
The objective of the Cabinet of Curiosities is to share the story and closet of each of the designs: the process involved, decision-making turns, materials used, behind the name meaning, and miscellaneous tidbits of distinction. It is a key to unlock and reveal transparency of the particulars that inhabit an independent lingerie designer. The cabinet of curiosities has been built over time; you will find no loss of mistakes, over reach of ideals, miserable failures, and general rubbish of profound measure. In the end, we still venture onward towards artful conception with the twitch of the witch.
How to Regenerate a Visionary Bralette Brew
It all started here, with this pattern and an insatiable appetite to manifest undergear for the modern dancer. There was a dilemma with the intimate apparel selection in the market, but that is for another article. The materials had to be hearty, but not too thick, and they had to endure the bodies. The composition had to mimic sensuality with a heap of comfort around the ribcage. A slight hug from a bat's wings was the thought. So, I opened up the pattern and started to brainstorm. Just like that, one leap into the abyss and a heap of graciousness for the human body.
The next step was to outline what exactly to do with cotton jersey materials. How was this bralette about to be different than the pattern, yet contain elements of its historical backdrop? A collection of materials, textiles, and hardware obtained over many years from hoarding thrift, estate sales, design house closeouts, and reclaimed cutoffs was in front of me to choose. If there is one thing learned which continues to be quite instrumental in design... make the decisions with confidence and waste no time in this process. Trust that your development has only one way to go and that direction is towards exponential growth. But first, you must make a decision in order to proceed to the next decision that then opens the purpose to the one after, etc.
The pieces were cut, generous amounts of mockups were assembled, additional adjustments to the front lacings and straps and edges were incorporated within the finished design. A grading of the pattern for sizes extra small to extra large became the next stage. Finally, it was time the bralette wrap warm blooded bodies to make the final tweaks. During this beginning stage of Under The Root, my studies into patternmaking had taken hold like a common tailorbird's nest. Aside from business classes and workshops, I researched secondhand books on design, manipulating fabric, sewing machines, plus knitwear. The perseverance for quality soaked these resources in like a warm blanket.
The version that can be found with our present basics collection is nothing less than a labor of increased wisdom. Masterful stitching, seams, and trims abound. The two darts in front and back, separate the entire piece into vertical, burgeoning petals. The cotton twill eyelet plus lacing in front gives a secure and subtle component. The adjustable straps are made from handwashed, double sided satin, and attached with double stitching for longevity. What touches me most now, is how the recent modification of materials has seriously refined the collection. Two years ago, I began shifting over all the main materials to fair trade, industrial hemp and organic cotton. Not only do they embrace the health of our planet and peoples, these fabrics offer up every design the keys to a conscientious upgrade in character. These materials, if chosen in the correct weight and weave, give freedom of movement while holding you just so. And, if taken care of without hot water or dryers, the pieces will last a lifetime.
Octavia. It is simply bewitching to choose names for designs. The time spent is an opportunity to dream a little longer and extend the story outwards, beyond the realm of this dimension. The name Octavia suggests a deep inner desire to lead, organize, supervise, and to achieve status. Another interpretation involves modern mysticism with the number 8: infinity, cube, perfection, pair of opposites, octagon, square into circle, regeneration, solidity, octave, egg of life.
You can view details of the Octavia Bralette within the shop and collection here.
Thank you for spending some time to read the Ellefolk Gazette. The probability that this brand remains alive or thrives is threefold because of you. My request is to cater to your sensuality, intelligence, mindfulness, and individuality. If you are inclined to become more enmeshed with Under The Root, the following are a few ways to connect:

[Autumn in Montana.]Reading Little Bee by Chris Cleave. I'm only a few pages in, but I really like it already. This is really the first time that I can remember having time to read whatever I want, and I love it. I miss being in school and really miss going to class, but it's nice to just pick something and not necessarily have to write a paper once I'm done.
Watching the new season of Boardwalk Empire. I forgot how much I love this show. Anyone else? I love Jimmy's little son, want to punch his mother in the face, and think Margaret should just run away somewhere with that Irish guy!
Listening to lots of my Bon Iver station on Pandora. I "add variety" with Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Ros, and it's seriously the best station in the world. It's the perfect chilly weather music! Holocene will always be one of my favorites.
Thinking about how much I love running. I quit going to CrossFit when I started my job, telling myself that I'd give myself a chance to rekindle my relationship with running, and as of this week I've finally stopped making excuses and have started using my lunch hour to go on a run. Today was a little warm for my taste, but in general it's been beautiful out and it feels so good to go to bed at night feeling like I used my body.
Loving how much it feels like fall. My scarves are out and I actually need my morning coffee on my drive in to the office in the mornings. I don't use the AC anymore! My mom made chicken soup! Soon it will be time for stockings! I wore my trench coat and everything on Tuesday. But more than the clothes and the food, I just love the way fall makes me feel. It's hard to explain--it's like I get a chance to be exactly who I'm supposed to be when autumn comes.
Looking forward to seeing Rob this weekend! Being away from each other all week is hard, but missing a weekend together is ridiculous! I have so much respect for people whose partners are in the military or travel constantly for work--it's rough being away from the one you love, and Rob and I are lucky that we get to see each other every weekend.
Making me happy that I'm starting to pay my grad school loans back. It feels so good to be making enough money that I feel excited about making payments every month. And it doesn't hurt that the fact that I'm even making payments in the first place means that I have a master's degree and a job! "Real life," you might not be so bad after all.
What about you guys? Thanks, Dani, for always inspiring me with these posts!

More Engagement with Campbell on "Justification"
Running a little behind in tracking journals, I've only recently noted that a recent issue of Journal for the Study of the New Testament (vol. 34, 2011) is devoted to a robust debate over Douglas Campbell's book, The Deliverance of God (which Campbell also discussed with me in response to an earlier posting on this blog site). Here are the contributions to that issue, which will now comprise a substantial engagement with Campbell's big book:
- R. Barry Matlock, "Zeal for Paul but Not According to Knowledge: Douglas Campbell's War on 'Justification Theory'," pp. 115-49.
- Grant Macaskill, "Review Essay: Douglas Campbell, The Deliverance of God," pp. 150-61.
- Douglas Campbell, "An Attempt to be Understood: A Response to the Concerns of Matlock and Macaskill with The Deliverance of God," pp. 162-208. (As should be apparent from various examples, Campbell seems to require a lot of space to make his views clear!)

Given your comments Barry, I'll have to read your article 🙂 – sorry we just missed one another at Tyndale House, Cambridge when you and Peter Head had a meeting… will be nice to talk 1 Cor 7 one day…
Barry Matlock permalink
Hope you enjoy the article! Btw, I must have a double out there somewhere, because I wasn't at Tyndale House or meeting with Peter.
Barry Matlock permalink
There's an old joke that goes something like: 'How do you know when a politician is lying? His lips move.' Campbell has a similar method for discerning when his critics misunderstand him: it's when they disagree with him. 🙂

Mudhoney at Il Motore
When I was a much younger lad in my woodshedding days, I drew musical inspiration from a number of groups in the Washington grunge scene alongside the music of the metal greats of yesteryear. I would sit on the bed in my bedroom with my guitar in my hand and jam along with CDs, tapes, and CD-R mp3 discs (as I was not yet fancy or affluent enough to own an mp3 player at the time), and along with The Melvins and Nirvana I jammed along with songs recorded by Mudhoney. In particular, I liked jamming along with the song "In 'n' Out of Grace" from their seminal 1988 full-length album Superfuzz BigMuff. Both the verse and chorus riffs in the song are just a lot of fun to play on the guitar; they're simple enough for even guitar novices to play, and one can never go wrong with sliding power chords.
Now, for a little bit of history: Mudhoney are incredibly influential in the grunge scene as they are one of the original bands in the scene. In fact, front man/guitarist Mark Arm and guitarist Steve Turner, along with some future members of Pearl Jam, formed and played in the what many argue to be the first grunge band, Green River. After releasing what are now some incredibly rare releases (even on mp3 back when I first tried to find their music; not so much now), they broke up. Mark and Steve then later recruited former Melvins bassist Matt Lukin and drummer Dan Peters to form Mudhoney and released Superfuzz Bigmuff. That EP and later album after a re-release with songs from singles, named after two classic 1960s fuzz pedals (the Univox Superfuzz and the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, respectively), is full of great guitar jams. It influenced grunge artists of all stripes - even Kurt Cobain, who recruited Mr. Peters to play in Nirvana for a short period of time - and continues to influence budding young musicians today.
Fast-forward to the present, and I find myself, once again, at everyone's favourite urine and vomit-stained punk venue, Il Motore. Here, I found both younger fans as well as dudes who fully remember and were there for grunge's glory days in the early 1990s in for a night of loud guitars and gravelly vocals. Mudhoney emerged onto the stage with a rather well-preserved lineup, especially compared to other bands of their age. Everyone on stage except for bassist Guy Maddison, who joined in 2001, was from the original lineup. It's nice to see considering how many older bands there are that have maybe one guy from the classic era plus a bunch of random jobbers. They started with some cuts from their newest album Vanishing Point to a warm reception, but things started cooking when they launched into "Touch Me I'm Sick." Everyone sang along with the chorus, and a glorious pit formed. They played a few more older songs to great fanfare, then Mr. Arm put away his guitar in favour of a more traditional front man role and they got into a string of newer tracks, starting with "Chardonnay" off the newest album. I have to say, Mark Arm can effectively command a crowd both with and without the axe. They finished up their set, but there was more to come.
After a some time of the crowd frantically chanting for more songs, clapping in unison, and banging on the floor, Mudhoney returned to the stage. The first song that they played for their encore was my woodshedding favourite, "In 'n' Out of Grace." While the songs from their regular set were faithful to the recordings, they decided to jam this one out a little more. The drum break from the recording became a grooving percussion bonanza. The guitar solo section attained a life of its own and inspired worship from the frenzied audience. It incited strange sensations within one's own abdomen. Good ones, though. After this rousing rendition of a classic song, they continued on with some cover tunes, one of which was Black Flag's "Fix Me." Thumbs up from me on that one. After the encore ended, I headed to the metro and thought "yeah, that was a good one" all the way home on the orange line.

Wildfire Relief Fund Established for Texas Panhandle
Wildfires burned across the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado in early March, leaving behind human losses, charred land and dead or injured livestock.
Nearly half a million acres have burned this week, costing some residents their lives, livestock and homes.
In an effort to help farmers and ranchers impacted, Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) established the Panhandle Wildfire Relief Fund.
"Texas Farm Bureau members have always stepped up to help their neighbors in times of need," TFB President Russell Boening said. "It will require years for some of those affected by this disaster to fully recover."
The program will collect and distribute monetary contributions only.
An application for assistance and more information on tax deductible donations to the Wildfire Relief Fund can be found at http://texasfarmbureau.org/panhandle-wildfire-relief-fund/.

My fandoms have always been Spike-orientated
Signed up for one of those dvds-delivered-to-your-home-deals yesterday with a month free trial - we'll sign up to the cheapest deal when the trial ends! Placed a number of items on the 'wish-list' - the kid wants Mythbusters, BM wants High Plains Drifter and The Searchers, I want various episodes of Smallville, Black Books and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. On the reserve list (when they're released here) is Battlestar Galactica and The Ascent of Man. My hope is to get to watch all the shows that have been cancelled here before all the episodes were shown (I don't want to buy the dvd sets) e.g . Smallville stopped around Ep 16 S3, never shown again.
Whilst I've been perusing the selections, I have become quite excited because two guilty pleasures have shown up - when I was a stay-at-home Mum first time round with baby J, I used to watch a few kid's shows that I became quite addicted to - a couple of these shows are now available on DVD (be still my beating heart) - Degrassi Junior High (and then Degrassi High) and Press Gang - one Canadian, one British. I've just realised in my state of nostalgia that both shows had characters called Spike (OK the Degrassi Spike was a girl but she was a REBEL). I obviously have a predilection for shows with characters called Spike ;-). Now all I have to do is work out a schedule to ensure that I can watch my shows, and do uni stuff as well - oh, hell who needs a BA anyway ...
Sadly the money put aside for Harry Potter was spent on a night out at the Western Suburbs Leagues Club - J grunted that he had a good time. My Potter reading will be delayed until payday ::curses teenage son who places a good time out with mates more important than a good read::

A little past my 7pm EST deadline…whoops!
We hit a few snafus today, but nothing we couldn't get past. Speaking of snafu. Did any of you own an Intellivision when you were younger? Really young. Pre-Nintendo! It was only the best video game system ever!
The technology and graphics were boyend simple, but you wouldn't believe how many games they had for this. We must have owned at least 30 or 40. One of my favorites was, Snafu. If you need a refresher, you can check it out on you tube.
This sight this morning looked like this. Looks like something out of an episode of Hoarders. I promise it has improved, at least slightly!
I installed the base drawers yesterday, for our large pantry cabinet. We'll also be adding trim under the top refrigerator cabinet, so it looks more "finished." There will also be handles installed soon as well.
My first task: cleaning out the under sink cabinet + moving cleaning supplies
There was quite the mess from the plumbing + electrical work that we had done. I also needed to install a new door that IKEA sent. The one that was previously there, was slightly damaged during shipping.
cleaned + new door attached
easily organized + room for more
Snafu #1: The bottom shelf was not rotating out of the cabinet.
This piece needed to be flipped over horizontally, to work right. Between figuring it out, downloading the instructions, reattaching, etc. this set me back an hour.
We at a late breakfast, and as you can see by the clock, we also ate a late lunch. I used the range for breakfast + lunch!! Woohoo!! So far I absolutely love the gas burners. There is so much control over the flame and they heat the pans extremely fast.
Chris had a grilled tempeh + cheese and I had a salad with, spinach, shrooms, tempeh, cuc's, hemp seeds, hemp oil + balsamic. Sautéing tempeh, in a little oil for a few minutes on each side, is delicious! It gets nice + crispy. Perfect inside a grilled cheese or on top of a salad.
All photos in this post are shot with the wide angle lens, if you're wondering why some look slightly distorted.
I got the bottom shelf back in and it's working perfectly.
I also started putting shelves in the upper cabinets. First, I had to completely wipe them clean. They were filled with dust!
Snafu #2: Chris spent quite a while trying to install the ice maker/water line. The directions were not too clear and there were a few parts he had to run out to get. Definitely took longer than expected. We were both a bit frustrated today! Can't be calm allll the time.
But after I got that pull-out shelf back in and started organizing the cabinets, I was having fun. These drawers are insanely huge!! I am storing 32oz jars in the top pantry drawer, and other items like random flours, protein powder, Amazing Grass products, a lot of Bob's Red Mill bags, etc.
The bottom drawer manages to hold ALL of my 1/2 gallon mason jars. This is super exciting!! I will be labeling the tops of the jars at some point soon, since it's a little hard to see what's in each one.
Slowly, the mock-kitchen started to empty out.
At least for now, the top shelf of this pull-out lazy susan, will store all of our spices.
The whole shelf is full! Empty jars + bags of bulk spices [bought at Natural Grocers] are stored in the back.
Compared to the 2nd photo in this post, a lot of progress has been made, but nowhere near being done!
Time to get back to the kitchen, to fill the cupboards!
I'll have more progress to show you tomorrow. At least I hope so!
Better get back to it, before I get too comfy on the couch-bed and fall asleep.

BTC – IBM is that nasty guy at the Info Bar who slips something into your beverage while you are distracted and then takes full advantage before you come to. Guys like that believe, inherently, you want your non-consensual compromise as badly as they do.
"It [BIG DATA] will change our existing notions of privacy. A surveillance society is not only inevitable, it's worse. It's irresistible," said Jeff Jonas, a distinguished engineer with IBM. Jonas spoke to a packed house of several hundred people Wednesday at the Structure Big Data 2011 conference here.
How predictable! IBM, Verichip wundersponsor, can't help but love systemic numerical processing of people's information for cash! Ahem … excepting the deep privacy argument that information surveillance doesn't really happen- or even start- with bonafide informed consent, simply distracted consent. Between TIME's coverage of the great data heist of 2011 and the Wall Street Journal's "What They Know" columns; Washington has been successfully cornered on the massive problem of unaccountable data brokerages and the information surveillance of millions of people.
Let's not forget what we are up against; an entire unchecked industry who -for lack of limits- has grown not only entitled, by years of unchecked precedent, but also super-rich. A simple protest in NYC is not fixing this…

Given that the user identification numbers (UIDs) were not considered to be private and that merely knowing a UID does not bestow anyone the ability to access private data, the hard line taken by the social networking behemoth is as much a statement of intent to tackle the firm's tarnished reputation when it comes to privacy concerns.

text: A portrait of Alistan Munroe in Francis street Dublin. Alistan was passing by and I asked him to pose for a little while. I liked the way he looked, his creme colored shirt, which looked quite similar to the background. The soft orange chair worked as a dissonant. The combination of graffiti, the sculpture of Maria and the crucifix in the background made this place feel a bit surrealistic. Alistan is a necktie designer, a nice contrast compared to his casual appearance.

I just installed a fresh weekly of the JDK 6 (b100) and I discovered something unusual. While compiling a demo, here is the message I got:

It seems that Sun is really trying to tell us not to rely on their private API too much. I guess it makes sense with the incoming Open Source version of the JDK.

Dr. Ivan Rusyn, a professor of toxicology in the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences' (CVM) Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences (VIBS), will chair a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Workshop Committee that will support changes being implemented to the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) program
The IRIS program supports the EPA's mission of protecting human health and the environment by identifying and characterizing the health hazards of chemicals found in the environment.
The ad hoc committee chaired by Rusyn will organize two workshops that will facilitate discussions by recognized experts on specific approaches and issues related to systematic review, hazard identification, and dose-response analysis, which will assist the EPA with increasing quality, transparency, and confidence in its assessments.
"The National Academies have provided continuous advice to the EPA with respect to improving and expediting the process of reviewing the potential hazards and risks of chemical exposures," Rusyn said. "This committee will assist the agency in its important mission of protecting public health and the environment."
The first workshop, to be held in October, will focus on the best practices for using mechanistic data in chemical assessments. The topic of the second workshop, tentatively scheduled for March 2019, will consider additional topics related to evidence identification, the tools for systematic review, study selection for decision-making, evidence integration and dose-response analyses.
The workshop committee will include members with expertise in systematic review methods, toxicology, dose-response modeling, and risk assessment. Members will identify topics and speakers; be involved in putting out a call for posters and developing criteria for determining which posters to include; and participate in the workshops by serving as moderators, discussants, and/or speakers.
Rusyn has served on several committees for the National . Academies, including the Committee on Incorporating 21st Century Science into Risk-Based Evaluations and the Committee on the Design and Evaluation of Safer Chemical Substitutions. Most recently, he chaired the committee to review a report on the long-term health effects on U.S. Army test subjects and briefed the U.S. Department of Defense on the committee's findings and recommendations this past April.
At Texas A&M, Rusyn also is chair of the Interdisciplinary Faculty of Toxicology degree-granting program and director of the Superfund Research Center. His laboratory has an active research portfolio that focuses on the mechanisms of action of environmental toxicants, the genetic determinants of susceptibility to toxicant-induced injury, and computational toxicology.
His studies on the health effects of environmental agents have resulted in more than 200 peer-reviewed publications. He received his MD from Ukrainian State Medical University in Kiev and his PhD in toxicology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Community Cancer Services Fund
Community Cancer Services of Isabella County is a nonprofit started in 1982, which was created to combat the financial weight imposed on local families going through one of the most traumatic times of their lives. The organization relies completely on contributions, memorials and fundraisers to support these families during such a great time of need. These services include reimbursement for transportation to treatments, mammograms for those without insurance, and information, referrals and free mastectomy kits for women who have had mastectomies. CCS serves about 20-25 patients each month and approximately 80 different patients each year and about 97 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to these clients.
The Community Cancer Services Fund was established at the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation in 2006 to provide support for CCS to continue carrying out its role and mission in the community. CCS started the fund in hopes that it would provide a financial resource to sustain its continually rising expenses. Community Cancer Services is composed of an all-volunteer Board of Directors and advisors who donate their time to make Isabella County a better place to live. With the help of this fund, they will be able to continue improving the lives of local residents for years to come.

A leading children's charity has revealed nearly 500 cases of non-recent sexual abuse against children have been recorded by Northamptonshire Police over the last four years.
The number of recorded offences involving non-recent sexual abuse – where the offence is alleged to have occurred more than a year before it was reported to police – has increased from 59 in 2013/14 to 215 in 2016/17.
Across the UK more than 60,000 cases of non-recent sexual abuse against children were recorded, with a year on year increase from 10,493 in 2013/14 to 20,410 last year.
However, the children's charity believes this steep rise may, in part, be down to high-profile abuse cases as well as the football abuse scandal which began a year ago this week and has seen a dedicated NSPCC Helpline receive more than 2,500 calls.
The NSPCC says it is hopeful the increase in cases recorded by police will reassure survivors they will be listened to.
Maria, 47, was sexually abused and raped by her biological father at a very young age and still feels the effects of the abuse now.
She said: "I don't want to have a strong relationship with anyone. I'm also far too altruistic – I give so much of myself to feel good about myself – but I often feel worse. I have had breakdowns, have depressive episodes and I've attempted suicide as an adult.
"But I am determined and I've got dreams and ambitions. I'm strong. I went to the police to report my father when I was 25 and the conviction has helped me recover."
The new non-recent sexual offences figures were obtained following a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to police forces in England and Wales and British Transport Police. Figures were also provided by the PSNI.
The true overall number of non-recent offences against children recorded will be higher still with six UK police forces not providing full figures for all four years.
Peter Wanless, Chief Executive of the NSPCC, said:"It doesn't matter whether the sexual abuse happened a year ago or 50 years ago, it is never too late to report it. It's clear that for far too long, many people who suffered horrendously as children felt they could not speak up, were not believed or did not know who to turn to.
"Although these rising figures paint a worrying picture of widespread abuse, it is encouraging that so many are finally finding their voice in a climate today where they know they will be listened to and supported."
"What's important now is survivors of abuse receive the support they need and that the people who carried out these vile offences are identified and finally brought to justice."
As well victims of past abuse being able to seek support from the NSPCC, the National Association of People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC) has trained staff who can speak with survivors of childhood abuse and explore the options available to them such as support groups and counselling.
NAPAC also supports the family and friends of people who are helping someone who was abused.
Any adult who is the victim of non-recent abuse is urged to report it to the police or contact the NSPCC helpline on 0808 800 5000 for advice and support. Children can contact Childline on 0800 1111.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Today is the day we are supposed to express love and, ideally, receive love. So how's that going for you?
Being a romantic, I have always loved Valentine's Day, or at least the idea of it. I have had my fair share of disappointing holidays and I am sure I am not alone. I remember in high school sending many roses and cards to boys I had crushes on without even getting a nod.
So instead of looking without for someone to love or to love me, the thought I had today was to be my own Valentine. And if you were to be your own Valentine, what would that mean to you?
For me, it would mean pampering myself. Maybe taking the time to have a candle lit bath or getting a facial. I would definitely visit my friend Gina's chocolate shop (faithhopeandchocolate.com) to buy myself something totally decadent. Perhaps I would go shopping for something really pretty and cheerful and I would certainly get some take out and a movie I've been hankering to see and enjoy a quiet evening relaxing.
And even if you are lucky enough to have a sweetheart, someone with whom to spend your holiday, still make it a point to treat yourself too. What is one nice thing you could do for yourself, in honor of you today? Maybe it's buying your favorite coffee drink that costs a few dollars more. Or going for a walk through the botanical garden at lunchtime. What special message can you give yourself today that will allow you to feel honored, special and loved by YOU?
Let me know what you come up with, I'm all ears.

There's no need to sugarcoat it. This has been a rough week for Tulsa. Our community is hurting. Confused. Scared. People are facing threats and hateful comments and endless judgment. It's not pretty.
But as we scan the news and social media, and sift through all the pain, it is clear that our community is also hopeful. And energized. And on a mission to further unify our city.
Here at 36 Degrees North, we're committed to being a part of that mission. Our own mission statement, created at our conception, is as follows:
"36 Degrees North is Tulsa's basecamp for entrepreneurs. It's the best place to find a high-quality workspace, meaningful resources, and a diverse community of passionate individuals, so you can focus on creating a long-lasting, impactful business."
Our value statement goes on to say that we aim to "pursue wisdom and experience, focus on what matters, share transparently, listen actively, show empathy, be persistent, create peace and do the right thing."
A cynic would most likely call these goals idealistic, and possibly unrealistic. We're well aware of that. So how about a dose of reality?
Here's what we observe on a weekly basis:
Entrepreneurs from every walk of life coming together under one roof to achieve their business goals, and as a result, positively impact our city.
We have members who are grandparents and members who are still in high school. We have members who are black, white, hispanic, asian, native american and everything in between. We have members who don't really have to worry about money and members who work two or more jobs to make ends meet. We have members who lean left and members who lean right. We have members with kids. Members with pets. Members who are married and members who aren't.
And guess what? They're working together. They're helping each other solve problems and expand creativity. They're brainstorming ways to make Tulsa better and more vibrant ever before. And friends... it's truly a beautiful thing.
36 Degrees North is not a permanent landing spot for most people. It's a launchpad where business owners can grow and learn. Like a bird leaving its nest, our members will move on from our co-working space to open their own offices or pursue new ventures.
So that's why we're committed to diversity now. That's why we encourage and facilitate the mingling of all people. Our hope is that the interactions our members have with each other will change them and give them lessons that none of our workshops or seminars could ever teach. Lessons they will take with them to disseminate around our state- and our country. Lessons of understanding and perspective. To build what we all long for in the end: unity.

In previous episodes of Bug of the Week we enjoyed learning about mason bees, important early season pollinators of many native plants. Several years ago we also met dastardly parasitic leucospid wasps that raid mason bee nests and kill bee larvae within their galleries. Last week an eagle-eyed Master Gardener made an inquiry regarding black and white wasps poking around her mason bee colony. She wondered about their identity and intent. Were these another type of deviant ruffian out to eat mason bee babies and pillage their pollen cakes?
You may recall photographs of logs drilled full of holes to accommodate industrious mason bees in my mason bee colony. However, mason bees are not the only members of the bee and wasp clan that evolved to take advantage of vacant galleries in wood. The hollow chambers excavated by larvae of wood-boring bees like carpenter bees, and beetles like round headed borers are used by several species of mason wasps as homes to raise their brood. As adults, mason wasps provide the important ecosystem service of pollination as they seek nectar and pollen as food sources.
A little gentle poking causes Monobia quadridens to come out of her gallery and groom her antennae before returning to her work.
Unlike the larvae of mason bees that consume pollen cakes supplied by their mothers, many mason wasps consume living but paralyzed caterpillars. Prior to the hunt for caterpillar prey, the female mason wasp deposits her egg in the chamber where caterpillars will be stored. She then hunts for prey on flowers and foliage. Like potter wasps we met in a previous episode of Bug of the Week, female mason wasps use a potent venom to paralyze their pray. Sometimes as many as 19 caterpillars are captured, paralyzed, and used to provision the cell where an egg awaits. Once a sufficient number of prey have been captured, the chamber is sealed with a plug of mud or sand particles.
In a remarkable display of gender control the female wasp is able to lay either a male or a female egg. Due to the shorter developmental time of the male offspring, male eggs are usually placed near the opening of the gallery and female eggs are placed deeper within. So, when you see these magnificent black and white wasps hovering around mason bee colonies, fear not, your mason bees are not under attack. These black and white beauties are likely highly beneficial mason wasps looking for an empty apartment in which to raise their brood.
This pretty Pseudodynerus seems to ponder how difficult it might be to break through a mason bee's plug.
The wonderful reference "Trap nesting wasps and bees: Life histories, nests, and associates" by Karl Krombein was used to prepare this episode.

Disposition of Personal Property Left on Commercial Property
AB 2025 went into effect Jan. 1, 2009. This law assists commercial property landlords with the disposition of personal property remaining on the premises at the termination of a tenancy. If the landlordreasonably believes that the total resale value of the personal property is the lesser of $750 or $1 per square foot of the premises occupied by the tenant, the landlord may retain the property for his or her own use or dispose of it in any manner; otherwise, it must be sold at a public sale. The law requires that a "Notice of Right to Reclaim Abandoned Property" be sent to the person the landlord reasonably believes to be the owner of the personal property (other than the former tenant).

I think this is a good thing, this putting down roots, although I cannot be sure, but it is easy living up here with land and livestock to care for and family commitments to keep you at home, to begin to feel not so much rooted as tethered. And when you do it is good to take wing.
So we did, Ryanair wing. A friend came in and our son and daughter in law came up to stay for the weekend to help look after my father in law, and off we went to Provence to visit friends. And it was glorious. We admired the beautiful house and garden our friends are creating, balancing with much thought and care and skill, the aesthetics of a garden which surrounds a dramatic piece of modern architecture with their overriding wish to create a garden which will nourish all forms of wildlife. It was great to lift my head from my own patch of land and really look at someone else's garden, although I felt I needed months of reading and research to understand the soil and the climate which are so different from my own. We had so much good food and good wine and good conversation that we may be able to live on egg and chips and silence for a week or two now we are back.
We climbed towers and wandered narrow streets.
We found a beautiful medieval garden full of many of the plants I grow at home
and some that I do not. I never knew that capers had such beautiful flowers.
We ate an extraordinary meal at a restaurant in Arles, L'Atelier. This was food as an experience, a meal as a performance, a tour de force.
We walked in the Camargue, limpid light in the sky and the sea.
We stood by the pool in the darkness, the air still warm and pine scented on the skin. We walked and talked in a wood full of pine and cedar and butterflies. It felt as though we were away for a week, not a weekend, and now we are home it seems unbelievable that only yesterday we were eating a fabulous lunch in a restaurant on the square in the Provencal sun.
I woke this morning in my own bed to a perfect early autumn day, the sky streaked blue and gold. And home was beautiful too. The grass was green and lush, the garden a sea of tiny michelmas daisies and deep gold and mahogany rudbeckia. The apple trees were bowed down with red flushed fruit. Sedum and salvia hummed with bees and butterflies. I saw it differently, with renewed love, wandering outside for half a breathless hour before I went out to work this morning. Just for a moment I thought I understood something about the impossible tension between roots and wings and then it went, a butterfly thought. I shall stick with the simple: it is good to go away. It is good to come home again.

Product Description
The Parsons table gets an update in our Hayes custom dining table. We've maintained the modern design's solid right angles, with square legs that lie flush with the tabletop, but added a 45-degree beveled apron as a finishing touch to break up the straight edges. We've even included a round option, giving our table universal appeal for a variety of spaces.
Indeed, what truly makes our Hayes table unique is how you can customize it to suit your space and style. Whether you choose square, round, or rectangle, you can make it yours with four wood table top finishes and seven leg finishes, including woods, metals, and white.
We've built the Hayes table with materials carefully sourced to maintain their beauty over years of dinner parties, family gatherings, or late-night homework sessions. Our tabletops are made with wood veneer finish atop an extremely dense engineered composite that's prized for its durability. Veneer resists cracking and water rings and doesn't require regular oiling. Our legs are made from solid Walnut, Oak, and Ash, or sturdy metal.
Audrey Chair
A little Art Deco and a little Hollywood glam, the Audrey custom dining chair is undeniably a statement piece. Piping loops around the half-moon back, showing off its dramatic curves. This bold silhouette nevertheless fits in with a variety of decor styles; pick velvet for a romantic look, go modern with leather, or choose any of our 75+ other upholstery options.
A firm and pitch-free foam cushion helps you naturally sit up straight, while the back and arms provide enough support to lean back or casually rest an elbow. Below, thin, solid-rod metal legs add a little extra glint.
Dylan Chair
Dylan is easily our most universal custom dining chair, destined to be an I/D classic. Simple rounded curves make it a great choice for casual settings, but refined details like the seamless merging of the back and seat allow it to fit in more formal decors. It all depends on how you customize and style it — and with our 75+ fabrics and leathers as well as three leg shapes and three leg finishes, there's no shortage of ways to do that.
Dylan's thick three-inch seat is made of firm, yet comfy foam that will maintain its resilience for years. The back has a slight pitch, inviting you to ease in for a relaxed meal with loved ones.
Kit Chair
This light, airy dining chair was inspired by kites. At first, the curvy, tapered back appears to be floating, but hand-stitched finishing seams help tether it to the rounded seat below. Kit can be styled for formal dining rooms and casual spaces alike; it all depends upon which of our 75+ fabrics and nine leg styles you choose.
Kit's rounded back isn't just for looks: it also wraps around you to provide support. Below, the firm foam seat rests atop super-slim dowel, bevel, or antenna legs — the closest to kite strings a chair can get.

Pakistan, US sign NATO convoy deal
Pakistan has signed a deal with the United States which will govern arrangements for NATO convoys travelling to Afghanistan, and which will also draw a line under the seven-month border blockade.
Under the agreement inked in Rawalpindi the United States will release $1.1 billion under the Coalition Support Fund to reimburse Pakistan for fighting militants within its borders.
No details of the Memorandum of Understanding were released but a Pakistani security official says the agreement gave Islamabad the right to refuse or reject any shipment and that special radio chips would be fitted to containers for monitoring.
Guidelines laid out by the Pakistani parliament earlier this year insisted that in future no weapons and ammunition be transported through the country, though Western officials say this never happened in the first place.
Islamabad agreed to reopen land routes for NATO goods on July 3 after the longest border closure to protest the botched US air raids that killed 24 Pakistani troops last November.
Pakistan lifted its blockade only after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said sorry for the air raid deaths, but a row over security guarantees and compensation have delayed a resumption of normal traffic.
Officials closed the Torkham border crossing, the quickest route to Kabul from the port city of Karachi, to NATO traffic on Thursday over security fears.
The Pakistani Taliban have vowed to attack NATO supplies and last Tuesday, one of the truck drivers was shot dead in the northwestern town of Jamrud.
Pakistani Defence Secretary Asif Yasin Malik says the deal would contribute to the stability of the region and hailed it as a "landmark event".

About ClearVue Window Cleaning
ClearVue Professional Window Cleaning was created in 2006 by Peter Cruz and Shanon Windecker. Peter Cruz was an accountant at the time and Shanon was and still is the general manager of Auto Trim Design.
Both realized there was a need for a certain type of professional window washing company in Las Cruces and decided to come up with a plan.
Both Peter and Shanon are lifelong Las Cruces and New Mexico residents and have been doing business in the area for decades so both understood the needs of the residents in the area.
Peter was a CFO and in charge of Human Resources department for a large local construction supply company and had worked for a public accounting firm so he had nearly three decades of work experience and expertise to structure a company that could provide a professional window cleaning service to its customers but at a very affordable price.
To start out he knew at the beginning he had to start small but Peter had a vision to have a large enough staff to be able to get the job done not just at an affordable rate but finish the jobs faster than a company with a one or two man crew.
Fortunately within a year the staff grew to 3 persons in the field and in 2015 the staff has grown to 9 people with continued growth due to the rapid growth of ClearVue's customer base!
We invite you to experience what literally thousands of customers have experienced over the last 10 years. Don't take on this dangerous tedious chore yourself. Call us today at (575) 993-6405 for a free estimate and our professionally trained friendly staff will leave your windows sparkling clean and a smile on your face!

With all the daily dramas caused by predictive text input, it's perhaps not so surprising that eventually one would end in violence. But a recent tragic confrontation in London— in which an unintended word eventually led to a bloody stabbing death— may represent a chilling new low for the oft-bemoaned cell phone feature.
Briton Neil Brook has been found guilty of the manslaughter of his neighbor Josef Witkowski, whom he stabbed to death in a violent encounter at Brook's home. Brook said Witkowski came over in a rage after a text conversation between them got heated due to a perceived insult. Witkowski reportedly got a message from Brook calling him a "nutter," or British slang for crazy person, when Brook meant to say "mutter."
Brook claims Witkowski came to his apartment brandishing a knife, and when the two got into a scuffle, he killed Witkowski with his own knife that he kept stashed away. Witkowski suffered over 100 stab wounds, and Brook is expected to receive a "lengthy" jail sentence.
So, yeah, go ahead and make that call (or at least Gchat!) the next time you get into a heated argument . The life you save could be your own.

The buffet that they served for the hotel guests were quite hefty. They also served some mean sausages and KIMCHI! *love it* They also had a lot of Yakult bottles on the table, so that definitely made my day. Anyway, there were pretty much a lot of good food choices so the three of us always made sure to come back for a second serving. Here's what our plates looked like on our first attempt... ;)
She was able to show us around the Cinema Street, and still made time to accompany us to the Bank so that we could exchange some of our USD. We basically didn't spend much on this trip since JIFF paid for our accommodation and bus tickets. We only had to pay for our plane tickets, and of course our food outside the hotel.
When it was already time for Kuya to go into the movie house, Choy and I decided to roam the area on our own. We were needed to be back at the cinema for Kuya's Q&A in 2 hours, so my brother and I had enough time to do some window shopping. Frankly speaking, there weren't much merchandise that were purchasable that we couldn't buy back in Manila. But there were a few good stuff but were just too pricey for our budget. So when we got tired from walking, we stopped by this very cool coffee shop near the movie house. The caramel macchiato that I ordered at the BROWN CITY coffee shop had a resemblance with Starbucks, so that gave me a familiar and happy feeling. :) The cute thing though is Jeonju only had one Starbucks shop in the entire city, while there were plenty just in Manila alone!
We also took more photos by the famous JIFF spots on our way back to CORE hotel.
After dinner, we walked towards this ART Gallery Bar (we were the only ones in there at the time) where the three of them grabbed some beers.

Minnesota Green Chemistry Forum Action Plan Nonylphenol ethoxylates in detergents v.2 October 6, 2015
Nonylphenol (NP) is persistent in the aquatic environment, moderately bioaccumulative, and extremely toxic to aquatic organisms. The primary use of NP is as an intermediate in the manufacture of nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE). To a lesser degree than NP, NPEs persist in indoor and outdoor settings, are toxic to aquatic organisms, and are correlated with mild endocrine disruption effects in humans. In anaerobic settings in the environment, NPEs degrade into NP. MPCA studies consistently find NP, NPE, and other alkylphenols in Minnesota's rivers and lakes and in their sediments, in waste water treatment plant influent and effluent, and in waste water treatment residues generated, land applied, or incinerated.
General population exposure to NP (either directly or as a metabolite of NPE) has been confirmed by biomonitoring data from breast milk, umbilical cord blood, and urine. Exposure is a result of the presence of NP and NPEs in detergents, cleaners, agricultural and indoor pesticides, food packaging and cosmetics. These are potentially products of concern for women and children (EPA).
There have been a number of State, Federal and private responses to concerns over NP and NPE. Using criteria established in the Minnesota Toxic Free Kids Act (TFKA), the Minnesota Department of Health listed NPE as a Chemical of High Concern in 2010, and more recently, has been considering elevating the group of compounds to Priority Chemical status. The states of Washington and Maine have done the same, with related regulatory requirements. Also in 2010, U.S. EPA published its NP and NPE Action Plan. In that document, EPA concluded that one of the largest active uses of NPE was by industrial laundries, as a surfactant in detergents.
Using the information available, the MGCF Steering Committee decided to focus in on institutional laundry detergents. Lessons learned will suggest if other NPE uses such as pesticide surfactant might be considered for a future project.
Project Focus Area: Detergents/cleaners
EPA's Design for the Environment program conducted an alternatives assessment for NPE and found 8 acceptable alternatives to its use as a surfactant in commercial/industrial detergents and in other cleaning applications. Under a voluntary agreement with U.S. EPA, the Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA) committed its members to phasing out NPE from all liquid detergents by December 31, 2013, and from all powder detergents by December 31, 2014.
In 2013, MPCA staff wanted to know the extent of Minnesota's industrial laundries' progress toward NPE phase-out, and if possible, what measurable effects phase-out was producing. MPCA staff generated an initial list of the five largest industrial laundry companies at 25 locations. Direct calling to these listings showed consolidation to 4 companies with 15 facilities in total. By mid-2013, all larger facilities reported switching away from detergents containing NPE. Among smaller firms/facilities, MPCA staff found only two of the smaller facilities using detergents containing NPE. Staff educated these firms about the concerns related to such use and the availability of safer alternative choices.
The CleanGredients® database includes over 300 surfactants reviewed and found to meet EPA Design for the Environment's Criteria for Safer Surfactants. However, each potential NPE alternative must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis as to both its safety profile and functional characteristics. Cost is a considerable factor as well, sometimes screening out alternatives prior to reformulation and performance testing.
The main NPE alternatives currently in use include alcohol ethoxylates, both linear and branched, and glucose-based carbohydrate derivatives such as alkylpolyglucoside, glucamides, and glucamine oxides (EPA Action Plan). Formulators may replace an NPE surfactant with a blend of two or more surfactants (e.g., a linear alcohol ethoxylate, or LAE, plus an alkyl glucoside). Chemicals which meet the Criteria for Safer Surfactants are acceptable for use in an EPA Safer Choice-labeled detergent or cleaning product (EPA Alternatives Assessment).
Primary suppliers to large laundries in Minnesota are Washing Systems, Inc. (WSI) and Ecolab. WSI developed a non-NPE alternative and its Minnesota customers were earliest adopters. Ecolab finished development of its alternative in 2012 with full implementation in Minnesota in 2013. Information MPCA staff gathered from large facilities confirmed that linear alcohol ethoxylates (LAEs) are the most commonly-used alternative to NPE.
Estimates provided voluntarily by twelve of the larger laundries showed they had eliminated about 646,000 pounds (323 tons) of NPE use and discharge per year, statewide. Seven of these twelve laundries which eliminated NPE discharge are in the Metro Twin Cities Main wastewater treatment plant sewershed, and MPCA estimates their total annual reduction at 179 tons. This apparently-large reduction led MPCA staff to expect to see some reduction in Main Plant influent concentrations. However, analysis in the fall of 2014 of 24-hour composite samples of that influent showed little change versus baseline data from influent sampling done in 2006 and 2007.
On the plus side for the Main Plant, even though NP and NPEs remain elevated coming into the plant (~30,000 nanograms/liter), they are removed down to the level of hundreds of nanograms/liter in final effluent. Advanced POTW systems may be having success in removing them from water, but this may not be the case with other public systems, private direct dischargers, or septic systems. In addition, large POTWs are transferring some of these (and other) compounds to their sludge (biosolids), which in many cases is land-applied where further impacts may occur. For these reasons, source reduction remains important.
MPCA staff made calls to some hotels about whether they are doing laundry in-house, versus sending it out to the industrial laundries which accomplished the phase-out. So far, staff have learned that most of the larger hotels are laundering in-house. Other larger institutions which might be doing the same include hospitals and other health care facilities, short and long-term care facilities, and others to be identified. Smaller dischargers could include car washes.
With this information that further commercial/industrial uses of NPE surfactants remain, MPCA chose to use the remainder of its limited sampling funds to work with MCES to sample points upstream in the Main Plant sewershed where residential (domestic) sources were dominant. Results of lab analysis showed those concentrations to be 1 to 2 orders of magnitude lower than Main Plant primary influent, suggesting relatively little contribution from household cleaners, paints, or clothing.

I'd Rather Be Working/
There are days, not unlike today, that are simply best captured by a New Yorker cartoon:
(Sent to me by a friend -- it was sent to her by her dad.)
This is not a complaint. I remember sitting in my office and plotting my escape. A lot of the time not having a full-time job is downright GLORIOUS.
But I'd be lying if I didn't admit that having a third child doesn't have me plotting what my next step will be. I'm itching to get back to work. All I know is what I don't want to do.

Doctorate Programs Vary By School
Doctorate programs are offered in universities and comprehensive colleges across the North American continent, and they may vary from school to school. Doctorate programs are intense and require extensive academic and scholastic capability and effort.
Requirements of doctorate programs for earning PhD and DBA degrees can vary by school and department within universities, but many are consistent. Candidates must fulfill, to varying extents, scholarly proficiency, distinctive accomplishments in their chosen field, and a capacity for designing and conducting independent, original research. Proficiency and accomplishment are demonstrated in coursework and inclusive assessments and examinations; research must contribute new and critical information to the field, be presented in a publishable documented format, and is defended before a committee of faculty. This set of doctorate program accomplishments is rewarded by being granting the PhD or DBA degree by the college or university. Doctorate programs that do not include all of these requirements lack the status of the research doctorates and will not provide the best opportunities for advanced positions and salaries.
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), and Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree programs take about five years to complete, that is, after undergraduate and sometimes master degrees have been acquired. Secondary education that includes completing a doctorate program, can consume twelve to fourteen years of a student's life.
MD doctorate programs also vary considerably by school. Academic studies must be completed satisfactorily, followed by several years of study and preparation as interns are endured in hospital settings. Degree programs, however, vary so much that potential MD students must do some extensive research to determine the type of education that suits their particular style of learning. Some colleges rely heavily on textbook and lectures for preliminary education, while others place little credence in textbook study and rely mainly on hands-on experience with dissection of organs and tissue and discussion sessions from the outset.
Doctoral programs are offered around the United States and Canada in psychology, education, law, languages, philosophy, business, history, anthropology, physical sciences, medicine, veterinary sciences, and numerous other fields of study. Students entering into doctorate programs must be clear about their goals and abilities. Undergraduate and graduate experiences can help the student to evaluate his or her interests, aptitudes, and capacity for the rigors of the doctorate program prior to application or preparation for a particular field or occupation.
Some doctorate programs and doctoral degrees are made possible by online schools. The time that it takes to accomplish degree goals can possibly be shortened students who choose this route and concentrate their efforts on study; however, online courses at the doctorate level very often require some hands-on experience, as well as testing and evaluation which cannot be accomplished online.
If you would like to learn more about Doctorate Programs and Online Doctorate Programs, you can find more in-depth information and resources on our website.
