Re-issue this! Frank Sinatra: Watertown (1970)
I've been re-visiting 'Watertown' recently. About a year ago I wrote a a very long piece about this album for Mof Gimmer's Electric Roulette, a site which at it's best has more interesting and original things to say about pop music than most. For those who haven't got half an hour to read that article, 'Watertown' was a 1970 soft-rock / easy listening concept album, produced in the contemporary Carpenters / Glen Campbell style. The story, performed with almost method-actorly empathy by Frank Sinatra, traces the heartbreaking story of a small-town father struggling to cope with the breakdown of his marriage. 'Watertown' is not just my favourite Sinatra LP - and that's a tough call, dude-, but one of my Top Ten All Time LPs, period.
Lyrically, 'Watertown' is delightfully detailed, painting a rich portrait of life in the town and the man's life there, out-stripping almost any 'rock musical'-type concept LP of the era in terms of narrative structure and sheer quality of writing. Musically, it is as 'rock' as Sinatra ever got, with a palette of sounds including fuzz bass, RnB-lite drums, flute, electric guitar, vibraphone, scene-setting sound effects and ghostly children's choirs. The late 60s / early 70s pop music scene is littered with attempts by record companies to psychedelicise an established artist's sound in order to cash-in on the hippie dollar, sometimes with valuable musical returns, more often without - but this is not 'Electric Frank'. 'Watertown' is a serious, considered, heartfelt work, by an artist fully enagaged with the project.
I'm given to whims and obsessions, and those cultural artefacts which become totemic for me have done something special to stick around. 'Watertown' hasn't unlodged itself from my mental firmament since it crash landed there a year ago, and I don't expect it to shift any time soon. I credit the album with curing me of vertigo, which I was inexplicably struck down with last September. This post is simply another excuse to heartily recommend an album which doesn't get 10% of the recognition it should. 'Watertown' sold poorly at the time (despite Sinatra himself being very proud of the album), and remains a real cult concern. Logic dictates that one day somebody is gonna do a huge 'Watertown: Special Edition' double-disc re-issue, a la Dennis Wilson's 'Pacific Ocean Blue', and despite myself I'm probably gonna feel a little conflicted about it reaching a wider audience. At the moment I sorta feel like it's mine, and that's cool, but ultimately I guess I would really like to see it get the props it deserves. Once you visit 'Watertown', you never really leave. If you get a chance to hear this remarkable album, I guarantee you'll never want to.

Moon - 'Clangers-esque'
Sunday, 19 July 2009
And that's the way it was: Walter Cronkite, 1916-2009
Anchorman for the CBS Nightly News between 1962 and 1981, Cronkite's voice was the authoritative, humanitarian voice of every major news story in America during some of the nation's most troubled and uncertain times. He is admired not only for having been a reassuring voice, but for being an honest voice, a straight-shooter, from the Ed Murrow-era old school of TV news - he was known simply as 'the most honest man in America'. When he felt the American people deserved to know that he no longer considered Vietnam to be winnable war, he told them so, and President Johnson famously responded that 'if I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America'. Johnson did not seek re-election for a second term.
Having watched Network recently and noted how the movie must surely endure as a constant touchstone for Jon Stewart and the Daily Show team, obituary assessments of Cronkite's reputation confirm once again how powerful the image of 'the honest anchorman' remains in US mainstream media - largely because there appears to be so few of them left. American TV News now wallows in a weird dichotomy - shockingly blatant partisanship in endemic, while a lack of plainly spoken, honest journalism is cowardly explained away as the consequence of fearing repercussions from the regulators for exhibiting 'bias'...as if 'the truth' can be biased.
NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams confirmed during a (hugely entertaining) interview with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show this week that he knew Cronkite was unhappy with slipping journalistic standards on TV, and that he thought 24 hour news had created a situation where being first was more important than being right. The reality is that the 24 hour news cycle is here to stay, and consequently Cronkite's passing is particularly sad because in 2009 we need honest TV newsmen like Cronkite, newsmen who value basic integrity and independence of the press over 'access' at any cost, more than ever. One hopes that he was not the last of his kind.

The Empire Strikes Back: The Adventures Of Luke Skywalker (LP)
Anyways, I picked this LP up from a record stall on York market this weekend. I just liked the cover art, am a sucker for pretty much anything Star Wars related, and thought it'd be sweet to spin when I DJ. It's actually better than I hoped, 'cos in addition to John William's score it features full narration by some cat called Malachi Throne (including the introductory crawl - "It was a dark time for the rebellion...") and lots of dialogue from the movie. All-in-all, perfect DJ-nerd type stuff, I picked it up for a fiver and you can probably do the same if you hunt around. May the crate-digging force be with you.
The Plastiscines
The Plastiscines myspace
Coming hot on the heels of Vivian Girls and Poppy & The Jezabels, The Plastiscines are the latest group to be inducted into my arbitrary and pointless cycle of Quite Liking And Supporting In Theory, But Not Investing Financially In, A Bunch Of Girls Who Make Potentially Very Commercial, But In All Likelihood Doomed To Second Division Status, Indie Pop Music. They're four boho-ish young women from France, and were part of that whole Parisian Libertines-scene from a couple of years back. Their first album was a raggle-taggle collection retro-ish guitar pop in the post-Libs syle, and had some nice moments. Their new song, Barcelona, is like three parts Girls Aloud to one part Go-Gos to two parts Blondie, and actually as good as that sounds. Apparently this is the lead single from a new LP which has been recorded in LA by some dude who has worked with Katy Perry, Pink & Avril Lavinge, which explains why it sounds so magnificantly POP. So thankyou for your all your embarrassingly desperate efforts Mr & Mrs Ting-Tings, but your time is up. The Plasticines will take it from here.

Ennio Morricone -'The Ecstacy Of Gold'
It goes without saying that Ennio Morricone's score is worth the price of admission alone. I often spin the title theme when DJing. But maybe even greater than the title theme is 'Ecstasy of Gold', from the movie's climax. It's a total knock-out. In the course of Googling 'Ecstasy of Gold' I discovered that Metallica have covered it. I checked out their version on youtube, and good luck to them, but it really sucks. Jay-Z's 'The Blueprint 2' samples it pretty effectively I guess...but nothing can compare to the sweeping majesty of the original. Enjoy.

Hollywoodland: The Legend Of Albert Kothe
So dig this. The Hollywood Sign, set in the rugged scrub land hills of Mount Lee in Los Angeles CA, was originally erected by real estate developers Woodruff & Shoults to advertise their Hollywoodland housing scheme. That was way back in 1923, and was never intended as a permanent landmark. The LA Chambers Of Commerce ordered the removal of the last four letters in 1949, to reflect the district rather than the development. The letters stood 50ft high, and were illuminated by some 4000 light-bulbs.
Albert Kothe was the sign's official caretaker during the twenties & thirties. He lived in a cabin behind the first 'L', and it was his job to change the bulbs when one went out. One day he got drunk and drove his 1928 Model A Ford into the 'H' and knocked it down. When Woodruff & Shoult's maintenance grant expired in 1939, Albert was dismissed. That's about as much information as I can find about Albert Kothe.
I'm off to write this script right now.

Allen Klein 1931-2009
Like all Beatles cameo-players, Klein's legacy and reputation will be debated and re-evaluated by Fabs scholars for years to come. History may yet look kindly on the 'biggest bastard in the valley'.

Joan Didion 'Slouching Towards Bethlehem' (1968)
The revolutionary literary school of 'New Journalism' coincided with an era of US history (eary 60s - mid 70s) with which I have an enduring fascination, and this means that I have the luxury of the period having been documented in vivid, fast-paced, personal prose by many great, unconventional newspaper people, notably Tom Wolff, Norman Mailer, Micheal Herr, Hunter S Thompson, Lester Bangs and, apparently, Joan Didion. Occasionally blurring fact and fiction, and frequently pushing journalistic boundaries to place themselves at the centre of the story, these writers have provided me with a vast library of first-person reportage from the front-line of history. They take you right into the heart of darkness.
So I'm happy to have stumbled across Joan Didion. She seems like the sorta writer pseudo-intellectual types would be overheard debating at a dinner party during a late 70s Woody Allen movie . For what it's worth, her stuff is pretty 'Fear & Loathing', there's a palpable sense of End Times doom and dread underscoring most of these articles. Hunter, though, I can find exhausting - he drags you along on his rampages whether you like it or not. Reading a Hunter S Thompson novel is like being kidnapped. Didion is much cooler. She's funny, too, exceptionally dry, allowing absurd statements from her bizarre cast late 60s archetypes just hang in the air;
" 'I remember I wanted to be a veterinarian once,' Debbie says. 'But now I'm more or less working in the vein of being an artist or a model or a cosmetologist. Or something.' "
Anybody with an interest in this era should totally check out Didion's work. I can only assume a general cultural misogyny has been responsible for me not discovering her earlier, because she appears to be very much the equal of her male peers. I'll be sure to write about her again when I get the chance to enjoy more of her work.

Network (Dir. Sidney Lumet, 1976): How Jon Stewart Is A Real Life Howard Beale
So I just watched this for the first time today. It won a bunch of Oscars, stars one of my favourite actors - William Holden, you may know him as Pike 'If they move, kill 'em' Bishop from The Wild Bunch - as well as Faye Dunaway (terrifyingly good) and Peter Finch (pictured, insanely good), and I've heard Jon Stewart reference it now and again, which figures. Broadly speaking, 'Network' is a darkly comic, but deadly serious, satire of US TV news. S'bout an old-school, Ed Murrow-era type anchorman called Howard Beale, works for a failing TV network. One day, during a live broadcast, he goes nuts and starts preachin' The Truth About American Society, and instead of pulling the plug, ball-bustin', power-crazed producer Faye Dunaway thinks they might finally have A Hit Show on their hands, so they let Beale keep going on live TV being wacko and ranting and raving, and the show becomes the top-rated news show in the country, this huge cult builds around him and yadda yadda yadda, news-as-entertainment, dwindling journalistic standards in the post-Watergate era, cult of personality, you get the picture. Beale's rants are scripted brilliantly ("This tube [TV] is the gospel, the ultimate revelation; this tube is the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world!"), and performed by Finch with bug-eyed relish. The scene in the Black Panther-ish commune, where a super-bad ass Angela Davis type gets sucked into the world of TV legalese ("Don't fuck with my distribution costs!"), is just one stand-out scene in a film full of 'em. The movie is a stone-cold killer, and undoubtedly deserves every accolade it's ever had.
What I really dug was that while Beale may be 'mad as hell', 'Network' itself isn't, it doesn't come off angry, it doesn't sneer at the world it's satirising. Instead the tone is one of bewildered desperation, and black-humoured amusement. Anybody who enjoys The Daily Show should really check out Network, becuase I'm sure it's a movie Stewart and the whole team must think about alot. To some extent, Stewart's persona on the Daily Show is very similar to that of the post-breakdown Beale - the last honest anchorman, pulling his hair out, screaming at the insanity of the world and the moral vacuity of those we rely on to tell us about it, trying to get somebody's, anybody's, attention, to get people to listen. Like the fictional Beale, this persona has afforded Stewart bone-fide, international cult anti-hero status. He has become an oracle, somebody who can be trusted, somebody who is not willing to play along with the rules of a game that hurts so many people. The image of The One News Guy Telling The Truth, in a spin-dominated culture where we have come to numbly accept half-truths, quater-truths, subterfuge, gossip, dumbness, laziness and lies from our media, has a greater currency now than it did even in 1976.

Fabrication and NO2 gas sensing performance of TeO2-core/CuO-shell heterostructure nanorod sensors

TeO2-nanostructured sensors are seldom reported compared to other metal oxide semiconductor materials such as ZnO, In2O3, TiO2, Ga2O3, etc. TeO2/CuO core-shell nanorods were fabricated by thermal evaporation of Te powder followed by sputter deposition of CuO. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that each nanorod consisted of a single crystal TeO2 core and a polycrystalline CuO shell with a thickness of approximately 7 nm. The TeO2/CuO core-shell one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures exhibited a bamboo leaf-like morphology. The core-shell nanorods were 100 to 300 nm in diameter and up to 30 μm in length. The multiple networked TeO2/CuO core-shell nanorod sensor showed responses of 142% to 425% to 0.5- to 10-ppm NO2 at 150°C. These responses were stronger than or comparable to those of many other metal oxide nanostructures, suggesting that TeO2 is also a promising sensor material. The responses of the core-shell nanorods were 1.2 to 2.1 times higher than those of pristine TeO2 nanorods over the same NO2 concentration range. The underlying mechanism for the enhanced NO2 sensing properties of the core-shell nanorod sensor can be explained by the potential barrier-controlled carrier transport mechanism.

In recent years, one-dimensional (1D) nanostructure-based sensors attracted considerable attention owing to their high surface-to-volume ratios [1–5]. Considerable effort has been made to develop 1D nanostructured gas sensors with good sensing performances, but further improvements in the sensitivity of 1D nanostructured sensors are needed. The fabrication of heterostructures [6–8] is a promising technique to improve the sensitivity of the 1D nanostructured sensors. The improved sensing performance of the heterostructured 1D sensors has been attributed to a range of factors including increased potential barriers at the interface of the heterostructure [9, 10], modulated depletion layer [11, 12], band bending due to equilibration of the Fermi energy levels [13], synergistic surface reactions [14], etc.
Paratellurite (α-TeO2) is a metal oxide semiconductor with a distorted rutile structure [15]. TeO2 has applications in optical storage, laser devices and gas sensors, dosimeters, modulators, and deflectors owing to its unique properties such as high refractive index and high optical nonlinearity [16]. TeO2-nanostructured sensors have attracted less attention compared to other metal oxide semiconductor materials such as ZnO, In2O3, TiO2, Ga2O3, etc. In 2007, Liu et al. [17] synthesized TeO2 nanowires that were sensitive to NO2, NH3, and H2S gases. According to their results, TeO2 1D nanostructures are promising for producing low power consumption gas sensors. The incorporation of a surface decoration or heterostructure formation technique can improve their sensing performance further. In this regard, a recent study reported the sensing properties of Pt-doped TeO2 nanorods [16]. On the other hand, this paper reports the synthesis of TeO2-core/CuO-shell nanorods and the sensing properties of multiple networked TeO2-core/CuO-shell nanorod gas sensors toward NO2 gas. The underlying mechanism for the enhanced sensing performance of the core-shell nanorod sensors is also discussed.
TeO2/CuO core-shell nanorods were synthesized using a two-step process: thermal evaporation of Te powder followed by sputter deposition of CuO. TeO2 nanorods were synthesized on a p-type Si (100) substrate in a quartz tube furnace by thermal evaporation of Te powder at 400°C in air without a metal catalyst or the supply of other gas. The thermal evaporation process was conducted at room temperature for 1 h and the furnace was cooled to room temperature. Subsequently, the TeO2 nanorods were coated with a thin CuO layer by sputtering a CuO target by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering from a CuO target. The base and working pressure was 5.0 × 10-6 Torr and 2.0 × 10-2 Torr, respectively, and the N2 gas flow rate was 20 cm3/min throughout the evaporation process. The RF sputtering power and sputtering time were 100 W and 20 min, respectively.
The structure and morphology of the nanorod samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Hitachi S-4200, Billerica, MA, USA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM, Philips CM-200, Eindhoven, the Netherlands), and selected area electron diffraction. X-ray diffraction (XRD, Philips X'pert MRD, Eindhoven, the Netherlands) patterns were performed using Cu Kα radiation (0.15406 nm). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was carried out to examine the elemental composition of the core-shell nanorod samples. The resistance of multiple networked pristine TeO2 nanorod and TeO2/CuO core-shell nanorod sensors were measured using a Keithley source meter-2612 at a source voltage of 10 V at 150°C and 50% RH. The 50% relative humidity might be somewhat high for sensing tests. A flow-through technique was used to test the gas sensing properties. NO2 gas diluted with synthetic air at different ratios was injected into the testing tube at a constant flow rate of 200 cm3/min. The detailed procedures for sensor fabrication and the sensing test are reported elsewhere [18].

Figure 3c compares the response to NO2 gas between pristine TeO2 nanorods and TeO2/CuO core-shell nanorods in the NO2 concentration range below 10 ppm. The response of an oxide semiconductor sensor can be expressed as R = A [C]n + B, where A and B, n, and [C] are constants, exponent, and target gas concentration, respectively [19]. Data fitting gave R = 7.52 [C] + 132.5 and R = 27.48 [C] + 153.9 for the pristine TeO2 nanorod and TeO2-core/CuO-shell nanorod sensors, respectively. The core-shell nanorod sensor showed stronger response and higher increasing rate in response to NO2 gas at lower concentrations than the pristine nanorod sensor.

TeO2/CuO core-shell nanorods were synthesized using a two-step process: the synthesis of TeO2 nanorods by thermal evaporation of Te powder and sputter deposition of CuO. The cores and shells of the nanorods were single crystal TeO2 and polycrystalline CuO, respectively. The responses of the TeO2 nanorods to NO2 were improved approximately 2.1- to 2.1-fold at NO2 concentrations of 0.5 to 10 by coating them with CuO. The responses of the core-shell nanorods to NO2 gas were also comparable or superior to those of the other metal oxide semiconductor nanostructured sensors reported previously. The enhanced response of the TeO2/CuO core-shell nanorods to NO2 gas may be due to modulation of the heights of the potential barriers formed at three different places in the multiple networked 1D nanostructure sensor: the TeO2 core-CuO shell interface, the CuO-CuO homojunction at the contact of two core-shell nanorods, and the grain boundaries in the polycrystalline CuO shell layers.

The Once Upon a Time bookcase may be mistaken for a pile of old books at first glance, and for good reason. It was inspired by old books. Nevertheless, these 'books' are not only hollow, but are made out of wood. A unique shelving unit, to say the least, it is incredibly charming and imaginative.
Designed by Fabio Vinella, the Once Upon a Time bookcase can also be used as a seat. The bottom protrudes out just enough to be sat on while the backrest is fashioned from the pile extending toward the ceiling behind it. The cubby like slots are perfect for reading material. People are invited to sit on it as they read quietly.

MONMOUTH -- A proposal to update a Polk County plan for procedures involving the use of deadly physical force by law enforcement officers was tabled at Tuesday's Monmouth City Council meeting.
State law requires that each Oregon county form a planning authority for guidelines regarding deadly physical force by law enforcement officers throughout the county. The Polk County Planning Authority recently adopted minor updates to its plan, which was originally adopted in 2008.
Once a city in the county approves an update proposal, the proposal is forwarded to the state attorney general for final review and approval. Police Chief Darrell Tallan said city staff recommended approval.
Councilor Jon Carey noted that the plan calls for elected officials to review it. He said that he had not read it and urged that it be tabled until all council members had read it. The council will take up the issue Oct. 17.
Also tabled was a Building Department proposal for a 10 percent fee increase for all statewide specialty codes that the city administers. Building Official Larry Thornton said the increase was needed to maintain the viability of the department and adjust for increasing costs. He said such an increase would generate about $15,000 a year. Thornton also recommended that the council hold a hearing in the second week of November for all increases to take effect Jan. 1, 2018.
Councilor Laurel Sharmer, noting what she called "a scathing personal attack" a city department head made on her on Facebook, called it libelous and urged that City Manager Scott McClure take disciplinary action against the department head.
In a council work session that followed the meeting, members of the Tree Advisory Board discussed planting one or more trees on the Monmouth Elementary School campus honoring certain people in the community who died prematurely. Also at the session, Mark Medel, new chair of the Parks and Recreation Board, reported board approval of grants from the previous year.
Future growth of Monmouth was discussed at the session. Mayor Steve Milligan noted that there will be a town hall meeting at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 19 in the Monmouth Library. Carey expressed concern that Monmouth has several marijuana stores but no supermarket.

So I guess we will not get a highway project any time soon. The headlines of the past two weeks have put me on a fast-track learning curve to figure out what the nearby freeway means to our neighborhood and our neighbors.
So I guess we will not get a highway project any time soon. The headlines of the past two weeks have put me on a fast-track learning curve to figure out what the nearby freeway means to our neighborhood and our neighbors.
It turns out that German Village has a long and storied history with the highways. I'm sure many of you could tell this story in much greater detail than I, but for those of us who are new to German Village, here's what I've learned:
It is fair to say that without I-70/71, there would likely be no German Village Society. The Ohio Department of Transportation's leveling of homes and businesses on the south side of downtown Columbus, in an area that would become German Village, prompted Frank Fetch and a group of concerned residents to petition the city to create its first preservation community and a protective commission to control all future development. German Village itself was born as a response to the urban renewal frenzy to tear down the old without reflection on the legacy of the past and the opportunity to preserve that legacy.
Fast forward to 2002 and ODOT began plans to reconfigure the freeway to fix a stretch of road that is one of Ohio's most prone to accidents and fatalities. Appeals by the German Village Society at that time to the state and city leaders brought participation and "stakeholder" recognition by ODOT and the federal highway agency as they made plans for rebuilding.
An early draft of ODOT's plans called for Fulton Street and Livingston Avenue to be used as traffic collector streets taking all vehicles into downtown Columbus and German Village from the freeway below to city streets above.
By 2007, GVS advocates convinced ODOT that Livingston Avenue was too close to our historic district and preserved homes, so freeway-ramp routes were moved to Mound and Fulton streets.
The latest version of the Mound/Fulton plan has an exit from the freeway at Parsons Avenue and an eastbound entry at Grant Street, with a westbound entry and a westbound exit at approximately Short Street.
Imagine how that made our Third Street vendors feel. Nervous would put it too mildly.
Catherine Adams, purveyor of European housewares at Caterina Ltd. and a German Village resident, said she estimates that a third of her business comes from out-of-town visitors.
"I have referred to German Village as a 'high-class truck stop,'" Catherine told me last fall. "It is a frequent rest stop for people traveling between Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, and between Cincinnati and Cleveland. The exit ramps make it easy to stop, stretch your legs, get a sandwich at Katzinger's or a pastry at Pistacia Vera, and peruse Caterina Ltd. or The Book Loft or the Golden Hobby Shop. And since they're traveling by car, there are few restrictions about what they can take with them, so they often do buy."
When ODOT suddenly put the brakes on the plan last week, Catherine and others were relieved.
"When I saw that in the paper, I went, 'Woo-hoo!'" Katzinger's Diane Warren told a local TV statio - and later asked if I could somehow add her jubilant audio to this column. "I was so glad to see that they were putting this off."
"Eliminating so many access points to German Village was inevitably going to hamper business in German Village," Catherine told me.
Lindey's restaurant management got nervous, too. Managing partner Todd Cumbow said he was afraid people would avoid downtown during construction.
If there's a silver lining to such struggles - and there always is - it may be the partnerships that spring up. During the nine years this I-70/71 project has been under discussion, German Village has had a chance to strengthen its relationship with Nationwide Children's Hospital. The hospital, after all, was on the cusp of becoming our welcome wagon to freeway drivers. The hospital has a Good Neighbor Agreement program with a large group of south- and east-side neighbors and we all get together quarterly to talk about issues facing us.
The GNA group hasn't had much time to reflect on the construction pause, but we're already strategizing how to use this time wisely. Rather than sit back and wait for ODOT to surge forward again, I think our neighbors will hold hands with us to fight for greener, more aesthetically pleasing bridge spans. The bridge design piece of the project is still moving forward, and now is the perfect time to focus our collective energies on affecting the design and use of our bridges from downtown.
And for me, more reasons to meet and collaborate with neighbors is the draw to this job. Let's get to work together. If you want to get directly involved, join the GVS streetscape committee. The committee is using this time to prepare German Village for a new traffic flow - and it would welcome your input.
Shiloh Todorov is director of the German Village Society.

Nice morning. Did something different for a change. Decided to eat breakfast before I even allowed myself a sip of coffee. Seems that I've been having a bit of a problem what with all the coffee drinking lately. That burning nauseous sensation is gastritis. If I'm not careful I'll wind up like my father (not that I'll have a deep hate for all things Mexican) but rather I'll wind up with ulcers and chronic heartburn/reflux. Ha ok, I'm not too bitter *gahhh*
So with that I decided that perhaps a little healthy yogurt might help reset the balance. I'll pick something else up during the week from Feel Good Naturals but for today it helped. I ate it all and it wasn't even difficult. Normally, I'm not a breakfast person but this was pretty good. Will stick with this for a bit.
Half cup plain organic yogurt with a mixture of granola and Kashi and hemp hearts. Blackberries and strawberries and a teaspoon of honey. Slurped my coffee with some trepidation. Then after I had procrastinated for about 40 minutes I got up and started getting us ready for the gym.
It was time that I try my hand at the stationary bike. I chose the recumbent one just to make sure that I wouldn't be putting pressure on a spot that would be tender. My injury had been bugging me through the weekend, though I'm not sure what caused that. But then I have no idea what caused it in the first place.
The gym wasn't terribly busy when I got there. I guess many of the newbies have given up. It's nice I like this time of year for the gym. No waiting for a machine. I get my favourite locker and the pool is empty.
I did 30 minutes on the bike doing random hills at a level 8. I chose that one because it was the right amount of resistance so that I wasn't peddling like a mad woman and I wasn't struggling to push the pedals down, ok until the tallest hill came up on the program. I told myself that it was OK because if I felt any twinge I'd dial down the resistance. Never felt the twinge. My one cheek though got an excellent workout. You can tell that my right side is weaker than my left. I spent the better part of that workout with my eyes closed doing some visualizations to keep me from going nuts with boredom. Seems that running has ruined me for cardio machines.
Once my fifteen minutes of pool running was up I changed and rounded up the guys who appeared to be having a pretty good time in the daycare. But it was lunch time so they were as eager to get home and get some lunch as I was. I forgot that today was meatless Monday. Oh well. Next week I hope to remember.
Ham on my multigrain with half fat mayo, tomatoes and broccoli sprouts. A pear which got shared with L. and a banana. I say I shared it but really I got one big bite then he absconded it. Little creep *giggle*
I spent part of the afternoon brainstorming what to make for Sick Kid's bake sale. Thought that perhaps I'd make some oatmeal raisin cookies and start the beginnings of a new recipe for multigrain bread, that wouldn't be taken to work to be sold. I've been sprouting quinoa but there is no way I'm going to be able to sell that to hubby as a food stuff so I thought that I'd make some bread with it. I am now told that he was mistaken about the date for the sale and that he would have needed to take the cookies to work with him tomorrow so I guess he will be showing up empty handed because he had originally told me he needed them for Wednesday Morning. Oh well. Maybe I'll make them for us anyway.
Dinner was a new recipe. I'm not entirely sold on it. I've been trying to move us toward eating less and less meat so I'm not surprised that this migration wouldn't require us to "get used to it".
I didn't follow her recipe very faithfully but this is where I got the idea and ok I swiped the picture. source
The review: it tasted every bit like the usual meat sauce that I make except with a lot less turkey sausage and a grittiness from the lentils. Am I a fan. No but I can see this sauce having its uses. I froze the leftovers and will make some lasagna with it once I add in more marinara sauce. It was very thick. L. loved it. He ate almost everything on his plate and I had over filled his plate a little. What can I say, he's a good eater. No worries about that one.
Oh and...I am officially in search of a new bathing suit. I was looking at some pictures of me and the kids and found one of me in the swim suit I'm currently using for the gym. So ok, its my only bathing suit. Wow, no wonder that stupid thing is falling off of me. When I do my pool running the tankini portion of it floats up and it winds up being a bikini. Um not cool. The top is too loose and I'm always making sure that it's still in place before I get out of the pool. So this weekend I'll be scouting for a new one. OH JOY. This process still will not be fun but it's a little less painful than it was when I had to try that one on two years ago.

An Explanation of Shortening Heat Generation and Mechanical Performance Enhancement during Muscle Stretch
Department of Biophysics, "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmaceutics, Bdul Eroilor Sanitari nr. 8, 76241 Bucharest, Romania
Academic Editor: Antonio Scarpa
Copyright © 2001 Dan Eremia.
Titin is an extraordinary long multidomain protein spanning half of the sarcomeric unit. One end of the titin filament is known to emerge from the Z-line, but the precise localization of the other end is still a matter of debate. Assuming that titin filaments connect the Z-line to the tips of thin filaments in the opposite half of the sarcomere, the behavior of an actively contracting muscle during mechanical stretch, as well as the mechanism of muscle shortening heat generation, can be easily explained if one considers that titin filaments are involved not only in the passive elasticity of the muscle but also in the force and heat generation during contraction.

What is whole body cryotherapy?
Whole body cryotherapy is an innovative yet powerful cold therapy treatment. It involves exposing the skin to temperatures that are between –200℉ to –250℉ for a period of up to three minutes. For decades whole body cryotherapy has been used to treat inflammations and pain closely associated with chronic conditions such as rheumatic disease. It is safe, pain free with long term benefits for both aesthetic and medical use.
How does it work?
When the skin is exposed to sub-zero blasts of cold air, the body responds by stimulating your sympathetic nervous system. A series of survival mechanisms is activated in reaction to the extreme temperatures. To begin with, blood that would have flown to your skin surface as well as your extremities such as the toes and fingers is redirected to your vital organs. As a result, the blood insulate the vital organs while maintaining core temperature.
What is the benefit of WBC?
Whole body cryotherapy initiates a regeneration process that triggers the natural healing abilities of your body. The benefits are instantaneous and long lasting. Besides, it has holistic rejuvenating health effects that heals and calms your nervous system, energy meridians, and most of all your circulation system. The benefits of whole body cryotherapy include:
Ease away pain and fatigue – Are you a victim of chronic fatigue and pain? If yes, whole body cryotherapy is a perfect solution for you. In fact, there are few known therapies that ease pain and fatigue as whole body cryotherapy. The relief comes instantly and can last for hours to a couple of days after undergoing through a cryotherapy session.
In the past, athletes have been the main group that has benefitted immensely from whole body cryotherapy but the unrivaled and effective results have made it a preferred pain and fatigue therapy treatment. The increased blood flow through vital organs sweeps away pain and fatigue leaving you rejuvenated instantly.
Reduces inflammation – Just as you would apply an ice pack to an injury to reduce pain and inflammation, whole body cryotherapy uses the state-of-the art equipment to reduce inflammation throughout your entire body. Besides, it stimulates your vagus nerves inducing a relaxed feeling as well as blocking away anxiety.
Increases metabolism – During and after a whole body cryotherapy with sub-zero blast of cold air, it would require substantial amounts of energy to restore your initial body temperature. As a result, the body burning a lot of calories, a process that is beneficial to your health especially if you are overweight. Getting lean has numerous health benefits that averts some life threatening chronic diseases.
How does it make you feel afterwards?
The afterwards feeling following a whole body cryotherapy is simply amazing. Imagine an instant sweep of your pain, fatigue and inflammation. You will feel energized and rejuvenated to say the least.
A popular alternative to traditional saunas, infrared saunas use infrared light to promote relaxation and whole-body recovery. Unlike conventional saunas, which create a superficial sweat, infrared saunas use light to heat the entire body and penetrate bellow the skin to promote a deeper, healthier sweat.
Despite its high-tech sounding name, IR saunas use a type of infrared light which is similar to the natural sun rays, but without containing the harmful UV rays. Using infrared saunas has many positive benefits for the body and mind, being particularly popular for its anti-aging effects and its detoxification capabilities.
How Do IR Saunas Work?
Traditional saunas increase body temperature by heating the room's surface and the air inside of it. Infrared saunas use light to create the same effect on your body, using any of 3 types of electromagnetic radiation – near, mid, and far – instead of heat and steam to do the job. This guarantees that all the heat is directed into your body, instead of dissipating in the air or the room's surface.
The process by which IR radiation penetrates your body and increases your body temperature is called conversion and is the reason behind the success of infrared saunas. Infrared therapy has been used for many years and has many benefits for both healthy people and patients recovering from illnesses.
What Are The Benefits?
Infrared saunas have many health benefits that go beyond short-term relaxation. The use of infrared therapy is known to promote a stable circulatory system, aids weight loss, and reduce soreness and pain. All of this while sitting comfortably in a dry room without any smoke or steam on the air.
Infrared saunas also promote relaxation and help to de-stress, thanks mostly to the detoxifying effects of infrared light. The deeper sweat generated in these saunas helps to drain toxins from the body, which helps users to relax, improves sleep, and slows down aging by increasing collagen production – which reduces wrinkles and improves the tone of the skin.
Infrared Saunas Are a Healthy Treatment For Many Ailments
Infrared saunas are also recommended by many as a way to help deal with the pain of certain illnesses or pain. IR saunas increase blood circulation, oxygenation, and promote a healthy blood pressure. The same things that can be achieved with regular aerobic exercise can be achieved by patients who can't run or work out for medical reasons.
How Does It Make You Feel Afterwards?
Using an infrared sauna is a rejuvenating experience. Once you've stepped out of the room you will feel like you've left all your problems inside, sweating them off during your session. The inner body heat produced by infrared saunas increases your heart rate, sweating, and triggers a relaxation response that gives you the same clarity of mind that light exercise does but without feeling tired of sore when you're done.
Numerous medical studies show that infrared saunas can help people with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, and arthritis. Besides promoting a healthy sweat, infrared saunas penetrate the skin and treat the joints and muscles directly, which helps to relieve the pain for patients who suffer chronic conditions like fibromyalgia or tendonitis.
Compression therapy is a treatment used by athletes as a way to reduce muscle fatigue and speed up the recovery period between competitions. Although the origins of compression therapy go back to the 1960s, when it was used on hospital patients, it wasn't until several years later that its use in sports became popularized.
Compression devices use air to increase circulation in the body, therefore helping to eliminate the metabolic waste stored in the muscles and reduce muscle fatigue and soreness. Compression therapy significantly shortens a person's recovery time. What usually takes 12–24 in normal conditions can be done in a few hours thanks to the use of pneumatic technology.
How Does Compression Therapy Work?
Compression devices use pressurized air to increase the flow of blood reaching your legs, giving oxygen and nutrients to your cells faster than your veins and heart could be capable of pumping on their own. All the fluid and waste accumulated during exercise is drained out of your muscles, while fresh blood replenishes your blood vessels.
Compression therapy uses pneumatic devices which squeeze air-filled chambers to create a massaging action in the legs. The most sophisticated compression boots have several chambers which are filled progressively, starting from the foot and going up to the hip, using the body's own circulatory system to drain the metabolic waste stored in the muscles.
What Are The Benefits?
Compression therapy is used by everybody from casual triathlon athletes to professional NBA players, as a way to speed up their recovery, improve circulation, and reduce fatigue. Athletes using compression therapy have an advantage over those who don't, as the quick recovery that they provide allow them to stay competitive during the whole season.
Without metabolic waste products and with fresh blood feeding your muscles you can be competing again the next day without feeling excessively fatigued or sore. This makes compressive therapy a better alternative for resting than traditional modes of recovery, like cool down exercises, because it is conducted at rest and therefore doesn't require the athlete to keep working his muscles.
How Does It Make You Feel Afterwards?
By getting rid of metabolic waste produced during your workout, compression therapy reduces the inflammation and soreness you feel in your muscles, helping you feel more relaxed and fresh. Which is why the effects of compression therapy have been compared with those of a good massage.
But although a massage can diminish muscle stiffness, compression devices target the venous system itself, which makes it easier to diminish muscle soreness. The best results are obtained when a compression device is used before a deep massage, as this relaxes the muscles even before the massage treatment starts.
Faster Workout Recoveries And Healthier Circulatory Systems
Using compression therapy increases venous return, which helps to speed up the body's recovery period by helping it to process the metabolic waste quicker. Less soreness and muscle stiffness mean that athletes can compete regularly at near peak levels.
Compression therapy promotes circulation through the whole body, going from the superficial veins to the deepest. Which besides helping athletic performance also makes it extremely beneficial for patients suffering from conditions like Lymphedema, Venous Insufficiency, Deep Vein Thrombosis, and other vascular disorders.
If you're on the road to becoming the best version of yourself, you've probably already started exercising and eating healthy. But, that is sadly not enough. Thanks to numerous breakthroughs in modern science and medicine, we have learned that there is no way a human being can get enough vitamins through diet alone. This is why supplementation has become incredibly popular, but is there anything more efficient than that? Yes, there is and it's called IV drip therapy.
What is IV Drip Therapy and How Does it Work?
Intravenous therapy, of any kind, is the infusion of liquid substances into a vein. This is the fastest and most efficient way to deliver valuable nutrients throughout the body. IV therapy is used for fluid administration, blood transfusions and to deliver medication. Only recently has it started being used to deliver vitamins and aid people in losing weight and getting fit. On top of that, this form of therapy is often used in anti-aging treatments and for cosmetic enhancements. In short, what used to be Hollywood's best kept secret has become public knowledge.
How does it all work? Let's start with vitamin supplementation. Without a doubt – it works. You eat healthy foods or take supplements and your body absorbs them. Sounds great, but what most people don't know is that they are only partially absorbed into the bloodstream. This is what intravenous drip therapy enables us – it helps those precious vitamins reach the bloodstream directly. Most of these treatments include basic, common vitamins like B and C, but some are a little more complex than that. This depends on what exactly it is that you need and want to achieve. Whether you want to look younger and healthier, oxygenate blood, lose weight, combat acne or whatever else.
Benefits of IV Drip Therapy
Now that we know how it works, let's see what exactly are the benefits of intravenous drip therapy. IV drip therapy promotes health and wellness by:
- Jump-starting muscle and tissue recovery
- Enhancing energy
- Boosting the immune system
- Helping the metabolism
- Accelerating weight loss (if needed)
- Reducing acne and other skin conditions
- Making you look younger and healthier
- Fixing hormonal imbalances
How Does Intravenous Drip Therapy Make You Feel?
You're probably wondering by now: "How will this therapy make me feel, will I feel anything?" or something like that. We've done our best to answer all questions one could have about intravenous drip therapy, but answering this one isn't as easy. To put it simply, that is a feeling that cannot be properly described. However, we'll do our best. After having the treatment done you will feel re-energized, rejuvenated and 10 years younger.
This shock of vitamins and other healthy substances does wonderful things for the body, but for the mind too. It will make you feel elevated, but not in a "dirty", chemical way. It will make you feel relaxed, stress-free and ready to take on new challenges. After you're done with the treatment, make sure to find a mirror and take a good look at yourself. You will look exactly as you feel – your skin and eyes will glow. That tension in your shoulders and neck will vanish and all the stress that you've been carrying for the past years will disappear. Your body and your mind both are craving IV drip therapy.

Montford Point Marines Awarded Congressional Gold Medal
The gold medal, authorized by Public Law 112-59 and struck by the United States Mint, was awarded to the Montford Point Marines in recognition of their personal sacrifice and service to their country during World War II.
The Montford Point Marines were the first black Americans to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps after President Franklin Roosevelt issued an Executive Order establishing the Fair Employment Practices Commission in June 1941.
The recruits trained at Camp Montford Point near Jacksonville, North Carolina. On February 19, 1945, black Marines of the 8th Ammunition Company and the 36th Depot Company landed on the island of Iwo Jima.
The largest number of black Marines to serve in combat during World War II took part in the seizure of Okinawa, with . . .

John Travolta is a man of many talents. Not only can he act and fly (in a plane, not on his own -- that we know of), he can also paint. Travolta comes from a family of painters, a background that came in handy for a role in his latest movie, "The Forger."
Travolta plays Raymond J. Cutter, a man who works with his father and his son to pull off the heist of a lifetime: forge a Monet painting and steal the original without getting caught.
In an interview ahead of the film's release date, Travolta told MTV News that he was drawn to "the challenge of playing a savant artist, this man who has this extraordinary ability to recreate classic paintings," a skill that, it turns out, Travolta isn't so rusty on himself. As research, he tried recreating a Monet.
"As an exercise I did that, as an actor I did my own version of Woman With Parasol," he said. "And I thought I did pretty well for having never delved into oils before."
Check out the clip above to learn more about Travolta's journey into painting.
"The Forger" is in theaters and on demand today.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — If you want to get Joe Paterno perturbed, just call him old-fashioned.
He shakes his head, his brow furrows and his eyes become even larger under those thick trifocals.
"That really irks me, and sometimes I get a little annoyed," Paterno said angrily.
Despite having the same haircut and wearing the same familiar coaching outfit--dark glasses, shirt and tie, slacks rolled up to expose white socks and black sneakers--for 40 years, Paterno insists that he is not stuck in the past.
Decades before the concepts became popular, Paterno called for a college football playoff system and paying players a stipend. While Big Ten and Pac 10 officials have been reluctant to end the 50-year relationship with the Rose Bowl, Paterno has been pushing for the conferences to buck tradition and join the bowl coalition.
"I probably would do more things differently than most people," he said. "I'm not afraid of change if I think it's helpful."
