I spent an embarrassingly large portion of my life trying to avoid adversity at all costs. It's mainly because I don't like conflict, but it's also related to me being a recovering perfectionist. For many years, I equated being happy with not having to struggle. I worked hard and wasted so many countless hours plotting and avoiding adversity that I
probably definitely sold myself short on life experiences and lessons learned. In my quest for perfection and a life of ease, I ended up cheating myself out of rich experiences and opportunities for growth. It's almost sad in retrospect.
What I failed to realize for so many years is that bad things and negative situations are a part of life. Facing adversity is an outgrowth of putting yourself out there and having experiences. Effectively dealing with life's difficulties is a central part of overcoming them. Life is all about taking the good with the bad. What I've since realized is that learning to deal with less-than-ideal situations is an effective life management strategy. Trying to avoid them at all costs is an unrealistic fantasy. It's just not possible. Of course, bad things will happen. Count on it.
So what are we do to? The answer that's resonated most deeply with me is to learn to be resilient in the face of adversity. Hone your resilience instead of focusing your energy and effort on avoiding adversity, negative situations, or setbacks. Figure out a way to overcome the adversity – to surmount it – instead of resorting to an avoidance strategy. It's in wading through that adversity that you'll be able to grow, evolve, and make a difference.
To get started, do nothing. (Yes, really.) In the moment, once it's evident that adversity is here, don't waste your time, effort, and energy fighting it. Surrender to reality and embrace adversity as what's actually happening and do your best to survive it, right at first. When it's time to act, tread lightly. Move slowly. Last fall, my husband Jeremy said something about depression that actually helped me to realize something about dealing with struggle, in general.
His words resonated with my core and made so much sense to me. Dealing with adversity is exactly like dealing with riptide: don't fight the big waves. Just ride along until you get closer to the shore and can escape it. To survive, don't hit the tide head on and fight it with everything you've got. That's a recipe for disaster. Instead, ride it out. Focus your energy on keeping your head above water and getting yourself to a safe place. Once you're safe and out of eminent danger, you can figure out how to proceed from there.
For maximum impact and to ensure that adversity isn't in vain, train yourself to see it as an opportunity. This may be difficult for those of you that don't have an optimistic bent, but I assure you it's worth the effort. Adversity is the equivalent of the rubber meeting the road. It's a sign from the universe that it's time for change or growth, whether it's welcome or not. When you realize you're facing adversity and your instinct is to do nothing but RUN AWAY, pause. Recognize that your fight or flight impulse is kicking in. Take a moment to regain your composure. Focus on something tangible and comforting, and then ask yourself this question: what can I learn here? Or better yet: what is this here to teach me? (a classic but relevant Oprah-ism)
The bottom line is that when you're able to look at adversity as opportunity, life will get more interesting and you'll be well-positioned to experience meaningful growth.

Do you want to have your heart sing? Hear this promise to you:
"But anyone who loves God is known by him." (I Corinthians 8:3)
If you love God, if you seek after him—even if it is imperfect—you are known by him. The one who brought forth matter and gravity a gazillion years ago knows you.
And do you want to know how badly he loves you?
He chose to come down and take our place, he chose to bear the consequences of our sin, guilt, and shame. For the joy of this relationship, he endured the brutal, bloody death on the cross for you.
If you love God, you are known by him.

Welcome back to my blog – happily polluting the blogosphere since 2006, but just one element of my forthcoming blook. Today I spent some time with my social networking, and debating whether to set up a vlog – but I'd prefer something that was more in tune with the folksonomy trend, know what I mean? I think a webinar about netiquette would be a good compromise – with a follow-up wiki. That's the way the cookie crumbles (sorry). Byebye!
You've defined Web 2.0 in one paragraph!
Paradigm shifts are few, marking speak and new collateral for bulls*!t bingo is plentiful. If more people understood the basics of the Internet and what can and cannot logically happen they may realise pretty soon that working from a lowest common denominator base is sometimes most preferable.
I await the Web 2.0 bust with baited breath. It means nothing, ergo is nothing.
When people need to learn I ask then to watch this movie: http://www.warriorsofthe.net/cgi-bin/download.pl/warriors-700-VBR?

Our Products
For over twenty-eight years Virtual Industries has been a leading supplier of vacuum tweezers to high technology firms. Their patented ESD safe products are used by CLASS I clean room personnel, electronic assemblers, semiconductor manufacturers, Universities and scientists around the world. Virtual Industries' success has come from developing innovative vacuum tweezer tools and pick-up tips as viable solutions to customers needs. These tools provide specific solutions that make assembly and processing operations productive and ergonomic. Founded in 1987, Virtual Industries, Inc. is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The stock of the Company is privately held. They began selling their products in 1988, and established international operations in 1989. The company has agents and distributors in more than 60 countries and serves customers in nearly 200 countries. More than a third of Virtual Industries sales come from outside the United States.
As the world moves toward more eco-friendly processes and the semiconductor manufacturing industry continues to make smaller parts with sensitive internal components, failure analysts are presented with a unique challenge: how do you etch these samples? Nisene Technology Group has bridged the gap between semiconductor manufacturing technology and failure analysis with its latest decapsulation system: the PlasmaEtch.
Multi Perep
The MultiPrep™ System enables precise semiautomatic sample preparation of a wide range of materials for microscopic (optical, SEM, FIB, TEM, AFM, etc.) evaluation.
Capabilities include parallel polishing, angle polishing, site-specific polishing or any combination thereof. It provides reproducible results by eliminating inconsistencies between users, regardless of their skill.
Dual micrometers (pitch and roll) allow precise sample tilt adjustments relative to the abrasive plane. A rigid Z-indexing spindle maintains the predefined geometric orientation throughout the grinding/polishing process. Digital indicators enable quantifiable material removal, which can be monitored real-time, or preset for unattended operation. Variable speed rotation and oscillation maximize use of the entire grinding/polishing disc and minimize artifacts. Adjustable load control expands its capability to handle a range of small (delicate) to large samples.
Latticeax 420 system
LatticeAx420 is LatticeGear's highest performance cleaving solution. It integrates LatticeGear's custom designed, stable, small footprint workstation and vision package with 4-µm optical resolution and precise focus control to cleave with 10-um accuracy in <5-min.
Pocketless tray
This extremely versatile "pocketless" tray securely holds fragile devices including bare die during shipping, handling and processing.
R Trays are ideal for:
Extremely fragile or thin devices
Handling bare die
No contact with edges or top surface of device
Handling device sizes (X,Y) ranging from 250 micron to 75mm
High-volume automated device Pick & Place applications
Manual unloading using Vacuum Pens
For devices smaller than 250 micron the NDT Tray should be used. For devices larger than 75mm, the Wafer/Large Format VR Plates should be used.
F40 Series
The F40 product family is for applications that require a spot size as small as 1 micron. For most microscopes the F40 simply attaches to the Cmount adapter, which is the industry standard for video camera mounting.
The F40 comes complete with an integrated color video camera that allows exact monitoring of the film thickness measurement spot. Thickness and index can be measured in less than a second. Like all of our tabletop film thickness measurement instruments, the F40 connects to the USB port of your Windows® computer and sets up in minutes.
Gel-Box (AD Series)
Gel-Pak's Gel-Box (AD Series) is the company's pioneer product offering and the original sticky box developed back in 1980. It is comprised of a plastic hinged box with our proprietary Gel coating applied directly to the bottom. These versatile "pocketless" carriers immobilize devices during shipping, handling and processing. If you prefer a version where the Gel coated surface can be removed from the hinged box, please refer to the Gel-Tray® (BD Series) and Gel-Slide (CD Series) products.
The Gel-Box (AD Series) is intended for manual applications in which devices are loaded using a vacuum pen, tweezers or fingers. Unloading should only be performed using tweezers or fingers. For device unloading applications that require use of a manual vacuum pick-up tool or automated Pick & Place equipment, please refer to the Vacuum Release™ (VR) products.

Sarah Silverman was extremely generous this week to answer a few questions exclusively for Sarah Silverman Online!
SSO: First off, fantastic job at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards! What is your reaction to all of the attention brought on by your Paris Hilton joke this week?
Sarah: It's very bittersweet. There was no way I wasn't going to do a Paris joke – it was the 500 pound gorilla in the room. But, I felt bad for her, too.
SSO: How do you feel knowing that you've made Cisco Adler's balls even more famous?
Sarah: Honored. I don't know why, but his balls inspire me. That picture inspires me. As a person.
SSO: I've read that growing up you were a huge fan of Steve Martin. Were there any female comedians who you looked up to?
Sarah: I loved Ruth Gordon who was more of a character actress and writer. Also, Paula Poundstone. Joan Rivers… I loved the Carol Burnett show – how loose it was and how it felt like a group of friends having a blast.
SSO: Congrats to you and Jimmy celebrating almost FIVE years together. After all these years, what is it that you love the most about him?
Sarah: He's kind and thoughtful and VERY VERY funny. He's always thinking – a real idea man in the most traditional sense. He's a great host – public and personally. He's just my (this is very gay) – he's my best friend.
SSO: Your fans are anxiously awaiting season two of The Sarah Silverman Program. Will there be any "Cookie Party" references this season?
Sarah: YES! We're shooting a whole Cookie Party episode! Laura and I get to be contestents (against the Mustangs – the male cheerleaders who beat up Steve in Humanitarian last year.)
SSO: Is there a lot of sexual tension working with Steve Agee and Brian Posehn on the show?
Sarah: Between them? Sometimes — when they bond about music or video games. They've truly become good friends from this show. They were two guys I was friends with that didn't really know each other until the show.
SSO: How did it feel playing "psycho fan" Marci Maven for the second time on Monk?
Sarah: I loved it. I'm a fan of the show and I really like that character. She's so peppy and sincere and ridiculous. and Tony is just awesome.
SSO: Besides Jimmy Kimmel Live, what is your favorite TV show?
Sarah: I love TV. I watch SO MANY shows — 24 (still hanging in there) LOST (unbelievable season this year!) the Sopranos (I'm depressed about it being over – this season has been mind blowing) 30 Rock, Letterman, and then a bunch of reality: Top Chef, Project Runway, Americas Next Top Model — all that shit. I love it so much.
SSO: Which word is funnier to you, "doody," "diarrhea" or "vagina?"
Sarah: It's a tie between doody and diarrhea. then vagina second.
SSO: What can we expect from Sarah Silverman in the near future?
Sarah: More episodes. That's all I'm focused on now. We have 16 episodes to write and shoot. They will air 6 of them in October and then another 10 next summer.
SSO: Do you ever check out SarahSilvermanOnline.com on occasion?
Sarah: Yes I do sometimes! – I can't believe you do this! It's so nice!!
SSO: Thank you so much for doing this interview for Sarah Silverman Online! I know that your answers will be much appreciated by all your fans!
Sarah: My pleasure, Doll – you're the best, I really appreciate you doing this site.

10 Beauty Stocking Stuffer Ideas (All Under $30!)
Oh look! It's December 22nd and I'm writing about beauty stocking stuffers. It was December 22nd when I wrote about them last year, too. It's just what I do. (Go on and have a look at last year's post after you read this one if you still need more ideas.)
Anyway, clearly this post is designed for female recipients... unless less your guy has a thing for sequined shower caps and tinted lip balms. Non? Then yes, socks and lottery tickets are ENTIRELY appropriate, as well as the prodz I talked about in my ode to Harvey Specter yesterday. Otherwise, I promise you'll surprise and delight any of the women in your life with these beauty editor-approved picks. Or, you know, drop hints for the person that's stuffing your stocking. (Eeks! Did that sound dirty?)
Maybelline New York Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Balm ($4.99 each)
So this is the newest launch from Maybelline New York; one that we've only been hearing about for ages since it was all over the New York Fashion Week shows. Anyone remember Dr. Pepper lip balm that had just a hint of a red tint? Well, the shade I tried (Cherry Me) is exactly like that. Except more moisturizing than I remember. Yay! Fab product, fab price.
Sephora Nail Bling ($8)
Nail art (or as I say, "nart") is still going strong... and if you haven't heard, nail stickers are the easy way to cheat. Even though I cringe at the use of the word "bling"—didn't that die in, like, 2004?—I'll forgive Sephora because these metallic patterns are quite nice. Not to mention a heck of a lot cheaper than springing for a fancy mani.
Kevin Murphy Color Bug Coloured Hair Shadow ($20 each)
I worship Kevin Murphy, and how cool is he for coming out with little pods of instant, wash-out hair colour? It's the fastest way to get with the rainbow tips trend that's gonna continue to be big right into next spring. You just swipe it on and lock it in with a styling product and some hairspray. Even I could do this one because I wouldn't have to change my hard-earned strawberry blonde to get the look.
Harajuku Lovers Jingle G ($30)
Because I am five years old, I squealed when I saw this. Not.Cute.Enough. It is a fragrance that is also a Christmas tree ornament that is also a Santa that is also a doll. I don't think I need to write anything else here.
I Love... Cosmetics Coconut & Cream Body Butter ($7.99)
I'm somewhat obsessed with coconut-scented body products, especially in the winter because it helps get you through. This new line may be a little too close in the font department to Philosophy... but the body butter is solid stuff. (Meaning good—not, like, hard.) It's creamy but light and the smell is beyond. Price is great too!
eos Holiday Lip Balm Set ($9.99)
Have you tried these lip balms yet? I've already professed my love, and my friend J. has them as one of her top 8 products of 2011. Get the set, because one is just not enough.
Upper Canada Soap Shower Queen Shower Cap ($12)
Now that most of us have embraced dry shampoo, we all need shower caps to go with. Right? There is something about an obnoxious sequined one that I kind of love.
Ahava Mineral Hand Cream ($22)
A good hand cream is hard to find. TOO hard, really. This one is a bit of a splurge but I swear you won't be sorry. (The folks at Makeup Alley agree, BTW.) It kind of reminds me of the Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve, but without the medicinal smell.
Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Heavenly Holiday Shimmer Lotion ($20)
I know, I know. WTF. I wrote about shimmer body products twice in one week. Craziness! But again, I have to reiterate that the shimmer here is barely detectable. The main thing is that it smells soooo good. Musk, sandalwood, vanilla and white peony are the notes—so it's pretty sophisticated for a body lotion (and would be great to layer with a fragrance if the notes matched). Plus, you can always dream that using it will help you look more like these ladies.
Burt's Bees Lip Balm Change Purse ($9.99)
Okay, so this pic is of the kit they're selling in South Africa (they're getting ripped off and paying $14.99 instead of our $9.99). It looks almost the same here, except you get three lip balms (not a balm, shine and gloss). And how cute is that change purse? Adorbs, Burt.
Tell me:
Are stockings a holiday tradition at your house?
What are you hoping Santa puts in yours?
Have you tried any of these prodz yet?

Bill Maher invests his riches in the New York Mets
Comedian and HBO talk show host Bill Maher is now part owner of one New York Major League Baseball team. The New Jersey native is a longtime fan of the Mets and recently revealed that he bought a minority stake in the team. Maher hasn't shared what he paid for the stake, but we do know that shares of the team were put up for sale at $20 million apiece after the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme scandal last year. He may have purchased a full share, or gone in with others.
Maher told The New York Times he considers his role to bring the team good luck. "Let's be honest," he said, referring to the team's first-ever no-hitter last week. "There was no no-hitter for 50 years. I buy in and come to town. Draw your own conclusions."
The team posted this video of Maher via Twitter on Sunday, dubbing the comedian a "new Mets partner". In the clip, Maher expresses the love he's had for the team since childhood, when he can remember the team's creation.
Forbes reported that with his investment, Maher will receive a "huge subsidy from low-income tax payers who helped finance Citi Field," due to New York City's property tax laws.

MoBay Scores 100
Foodie News... Foodie News... Foodie News...
Montego Bay officially welcomed food and entertainment premier brand 100 with a black carpet bang that included a special anointing and a taste of the offerings of the highly anticipated stitch in the growing Friendly City's social tapestry.
The tasteful affair unfolded last week Thursday at Catherine Hall (MegaMart shopping complex) with several notable players in the entertainment and food industry on hand to welcome the new entity.
The opening night allowed patrons to get acquainted with the brand and its offerings; the food fare included oxtail arancini, crab wontons and jerk chicken and pork and might we add, all items were a hit with guests. Live entertainment also featured on the night with performances from comedian Christopher 'Johnny' Daley and recording artistes D'Burnz and Bugle, whose 'anointed' and powerful performance was 100%.
Earlier in the evening Robin Perkins, director of operations at Sizzling Slots Ltd, operators of 100, stated in an address that Montego Bay was the clear choice for expansion of the 100 brand.
"Montego Bay represents the first-ever expansion of 100. When the team deliberated where the next move would be, it was a unanimous decision. Montego Bay is the entertainment mecca of the west and we knew that investing in a new location right here would not only bring economic gains through the employment of individuals but that it would also add value to our evolving and growing tourism product. Additionally, we knew that the people of Montego Bay wanted another option with variety in entertainment and food," said Perkins.
100 was first opened in Kingston in September 2015 and has since gone on to establish a strong reputation as a premier entertainment destination with themed nights, a chic dining space and constant reinvention attributed to its success formula.
100 Montego Bay will offer a full menu ranging from pizzas to burgers and pastas to steaks, as well signature cocktails. There will also be a weekly schedule of events that will incorporate live entertainment and Jamaican culinary experiences and of course the 160-seat gaming lounge, where gamers will receive complimentary food and drinks.
Gassan Azan, CEO at Sizzling Slots Limited, took time out to thank the team for their hard work in putting together the event, and guests for coming out and supporting. He also went on to add that 100 adds value to the tourism package in Jamaica for both local and international patrons, mentioning also that customer service, coupled with first-class facilities to produce exciting experiences, was the concept behind 100.
With the upcoming roll-out of 100 Reasons and 100 Suite Experiences campaign set to Indulge, Enjoy and Win, we reckon we'll be back for more.

Led by the commercial sector, the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) has remained in positive territory four months in a row. As a leading economic indicator of construction activity, the ABI reflects the approximate nine- to 12-month lag time between architecture billings and construction spending. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reported the February ABI score was 51.0, following a mark of 50.9 in January. This score reflects a slight increase in demand for design services (any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings).

"This is more good news for the design and construction industry that continues to see improving business conditions," said AIA Chief Economist, Kermit Baker, Ph.D., Hon. AIA. "The factors that are preventing a more accelerated recovery are persistent caution from clients to move ahead with new projects, and a continued difficulty in accessing financing for projects that developers have decided to pursue."

I Make Art From Model's Breasts
Nipples of Venus is a collaborative art project between myself and the art models I work with in Portland, Oregon. I create art by painting the model's breast with acrylic paint and pressing a clean, gessoed board to her wet nipple. The paint is transferred to the board leaving an impression of the nipple and the flesh of the breast.
Each piece of art is unique and one of a kind. Two impression are released at a time until they find homes. 10 impressions per breast are made in each series.

They rented a beautiful home on the beach to spend the morning getting ready in with the help of Beso Brides, and then headed to Ak'iin Beach Club for the ceremony and reception (perfectly pulled off by Fresa Weddings with florals by Vanessa Jaimes). Despite a chance of rain all day, the weather remained perfect and Tori and Jim could not have been happier and more relaxed.

text: So I passed this (white) lady and, trying to give her a compliment in the holiday spirit,(which I don't have much of to begin with) I say, "I like your hair." To which she responds, "thanks I do yalls hair." WhoTF is yalls? I am a black man I'm sure that she does not put curls and mid crown bumps in black men's hair often. Though according to that Lyfe Jennings song, "Statistics" at least 20% of us are gay. And then there's Snoop Dogg who could get away with it and even attract women with it, but I digress. I feel like had she said, "I do black women's hair" or "I do hair" that would suffice but distinguishing a "Yall" infers there is an "us" and it all seemed a bit too plantation-y for me. Was it a harmless comment? Just a grammatical fallacy? Or was there some real underlying racism/ bigotry going on there? #weighin

Thinking about scheduling a few winery tours next time you're in Wine Country? Winery tours can be can be fun and informative, but they can also be repetitive and time consuming. Most winery tours include five elements:
- How wine is made in general and how that specific winery makes their wine
- Local influences on growing and production (vineyard locations, soils, predominant weather conditions, etc.)
- Viewing of the winery's production space, storage facilities and equipment
- Unique features of winery and/or surrounding grounds
- Wine tasting
Before committing time and money to a full itinerary of tours during our next Wine Adventure, let's consider a few questions to help decide which tours are right for us.
1. Does the winery employ unique production equipment or processes? If we've toured a lot of wineries, we already know that most steel storage tanks look just about the same and most wineries use similar processes to make their wine. Unless the wine is made using an unusual method or equipment, we may want to save time and schedule a tasting instead of a tour.
2. Does the winery produce types of wine we aren't familiar with? Not all types of wine are made the same, so if a winery is producing sparkling wines, fortified wines (e.g. Port), or dessert wines, we may want to take the tour to learn about those special processes.
3. Does the winery produce wine types and varietals we like? There are certain types of wine and grape varietals I don't like. I'm not going on a tour at a winery that produces only those wines.
4. Do the grounds have any special features? Many wineries have unique views, gardens, architecture or other features that make them special and can be viewed only on tours. If the winery advertises features that float your boat, take the tour.
5. Do the location and/or structures have any historical significance? Whether you're in Napa Valley, Bordeaux or Tuscany, odds are good that many of the wineries you visit will have an interesting historical significance. Layer that on top of other reasons to get to the know the winery better and scheduling a tour becomes an easy decision.
6. Do you like the winery's wines? Few things are more disappointing than completing a winery tour with a sip of wine you would never buy. Before scheduling winery tours, look for opportunities to taste wines produced at the wineries you may visit.
I hope you found these questions helpful. Do you have any other tour selection criteria? Please enter your Comments below, Thanks!

Francis Salmeri Retiring
Our long-time colleague, Francis Salmeri, LMFT, will retire from AHP on February 28, 2014. He recently sent this letter to his co-workers and it's so wonderful we're sharing it with you all.
Dear Most Amazing Colleagues,
I began my journey at AHP in 1985, when Dr. Dilley started our HIV testing program. After about eight or nine months I was laid off and then returned to work in the testing program in 1987, where I've been since.
The HIV Counseling and Testing (HCAT) Volunteer Program is my proudest achievement at AHP. With the backing of my supervisor, Barb Adler (yes, she's led HCAT all these years!), I started the program in 1991—it truly has been a labor of love—and such a success that for many years now most of our HIV counseling and testing staff have been volunteers. They make a weekly commitment for a year and many continue beyond that.
Each HCAT volunteer is an extraordinary person—compassionate and talented—who comes to the work because they want to give something back to a community they cherish or have ambition to use this experience to pursue a career in the helping or healing professions. All of them are actively doing something to make this world a better place and I have the highest regard for each of them. Our unit has become a supportive and caring extended family especially for those of us who have worked closely together over the years and decades. In our unit there is a lot of personal warmth, caring for each other, humor and lots and lots of skill and talent. In March, Devin Posey who, decades ago, started as an HCAT volunteer, will begin leading the volunteer program. I am happy to be leaving the program in such capable hands.
I grew up at AHP, an amazing place to do so, surrounded by compassionate, caring people, many of whom are LGBTQ, along-side some very extraordinary straight people. All have dedicated their lives to fighting HIV/ AIDS and to making the world a little better for those with the disease. I am proud to have worked with these folks; especially our "old timers." We answered the imperative of our times, often without fully comprehending the gravity of what became an epidemic.
Last year I had the privilege to facilitate AHP focus groups that gave us, and the San Francisco Department of Public Health, feedback on how our clients regard the services they receive here. Their comments really underscore what I think we do here. The people who attended the focus groups regard AHP very highly. One of the points made was about the stigma many of our clients encounter for having mental health issues. Here, they said they felt welcomed. They said this was a safe place where they were treated respectfully and with dignity. After listening to several accounts, I felt so deeply moved I was unable to speak for fear of making a spectacle of myself by crying.
This underscores for me why AHP is such a special place and why I feel so fortunate to have found my way here. My colleagues, all come from a deep place within–in their work and interactions–bringing care and kind regard to other human beings. Truly, you are remarkable and continue to make AHP an awesome place. I feel it and so do our clients and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together.
I am honored to have worked along side these folks and also feel totally excited about being able to retire with my husband who is also retiring!

You can cook with the sun and, no, you don't need a space ship or a super long hot dog roasting stick to do it, either. Solar ovens focus and capture the sun's energy to heat up cooking pots, cooking surfaces and food. Using no heat source other than the sun you can bake cookies, roast hot dogs, boil soup, bake casseroles, and more. Solar cooked food tastes delicious too.
Types of Solar Ovens
According to Solar Cookers, International, there are three main types of solar cookers. Heat trap solar cookers are boxes that direct focused sunlight into an insulated box with a clear top. Box cookers cook at medium to high temperatures. Large box cookers can accommodate multiple pots. Box cookers are the most common type of solar cooker. Curved concentrated cookers use a parabolic mirror to focus sun on a cooking pot or directly on food. These cookers achieve high temperatures but require frequent adjustment and close supervision to be safely operated. Panel cookers, designed to be portable, use flat panels, instead of a curved surface to concentrate the suns energy on the cooking area.
Buying a Solar Oven
Professionally built solar ovens cost between $50 and $400. They are available from a number of companies and institutions including Sun Oven International, The Solar Oven Society and Solar Household Energy. Read reviews of each type of solar cooker before buying one. Some will work better in certain climates than others and some may be more suitable than others for certain types of cooking.
Making your own Solar Oven
It's not difficult to make your own solar oven using common household materials. Plans for home-built solar cookers are available from several sites on the Internet. To make a box type solar oven insert a small box in a larger box, leaving an insulating air space between the two. Paint the inside of the smaller box black. Create a cover that will fit snugly over the outside box. Cut a large window in the cover and insert heat resistant clear plastic or transparent oven bags in the opening. Attach flat reflector panel, covered with aluminum foil, to the outside of the box. Place a dark colored pot in your oven.
Cooking with a Solar Oven
Solar cooking is easy, although it requires patience, especially on cloudy days. To cook food with the sun, simply place your food in the bottom of the pot, set the cooker in the sun, adjust your reflectors and wait. If possible, check the cooker every half hour or so and adjust it's position and the angle of the reflector relative to the sun. Because solar cookers cook gently, you don't have to worry much about cooking times. You can take the food out any time after it is done and you don't need to worry about overcooking. Be careful, pots in solar ovens are hot! It's easy to forget how hot they are since they are not sitting on a stove or in an oven radiating heat in the kitchen. A great time to try solar cooking is on a camping trip. The food can cook all day while you're out hiking, swimming and boating. Your dinner will be ready when you return in the evening.
Solar Ovens Saving the World
Organizations such as Solar Cooking International, educate people on solar cooking and distribute solar ovens around the globe. Solar cookers can be used to pasteurize water, making it safe to drink. Unlike cooking over wood, solar cooking is clean and releases no pollution or greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And solar cooking can be done anywhere the sun shines, whether or not electricity or gas are available.

Sciatica Fact and Fiction
|Success Stories
If your sciatic nerve becomes inflamed, the condition is called sciatica. The pain can be intense! It often
follows the path of your nerve down the back of your legs and thighs, ankle, foot and toes, but it can also radiate to your back. Along with burning, sharp pains, you may also feel nerve sensations such as pins-and-needles, tingling, prickling, crawling sensations, or tenderness. Ironically, your leg may also feel numb.
To complicate matters, although sciatica pain is usually in the back of the legs or thighs, in some people it can be in the front or the side of the legs, or even in the hips. For some, the pain is in both legs - bilateral sciatica!
Coughing, sneezing or other kinds of movements commonly intensify the pain. Believe it or not, many patients report that minor tasks such as leaning forward to brush their teeth can increase the pain. The types of pain that you experience may vary. There may be constant throbbing, but then it may let up for hours or even days. It may ache or be knife-like. Sometimes postural changes, like lying down or changing positions, affect the pain, and sometimes they don't. In severe cases, sciatica can cause a loss of reflexes or even a wasting of your calf muscles.
For sciatica sufferers, a good night's sleep may be a thing of the past. Many sufferers spend all night tossing and turning with the lack of success in finding a comfortable position. Simple things like walking, sitting, or standing up can be difficult or impossible.
We take a different approach to the treatment and prevention of sciatica. After a thorough neurological examination we determine which part of the nervous system is not functioning properly. We want to determine if the cause of your sciatica is a traditional chiropractic problem where misalignments of your spinal bones result in pressure on your nerves. There can also be a disc component, whereas you are suffering from a disc herniation or bulge which crushes down on the nerves of the spine or even leads to spinal cord impression. The third component would be the muscular component. A large portion of the population has the sciatic nerve piercing through the piriformis musculature. A chronic spasm and tightness would result in pressure on the nerve. In most cases, the cause of the sciatica is actually a combination of the three causes listed above.
No matter what the condition, it is imperative that the doctor performs a thorough and comprehensive exam to determine the exact nature of the patient's condition.
How do you get sciatica?
It's easy to trace some spinal problems to a specific event, such as a car accident. However, sciatica is usually the result of damage accumulated over time and repetition. How you sleep, what you do for work and recreation are all things that can lead to damage to the spine. Our office sees amazing results with sciatica sufferers!

By age 40, I was almost 350 pounds, and gaining weight every day. I'd look at myself in the mirror and think, "You look awful, but enjoy it, because next week you'll wish you looked this good."
I'd tried every diet out there, from shakes to prescription pills to hypnosis, and yes, even Weight Watchers. I'd become a yo-yo pro, easily losing up to 40 pounds, then gaining it all back. I was basically eating myself to death and at this point, I never, ever thought I'd lose weight again.
Waiting Until I Was Ready
Why did Weight Watchers meetings work for me this time? All I can say is: My time had come. One day, on the brink of desperation, I looked for divine help, and within two days I found the motivation to return to meetings, this time for good. With faith and the support of my friend Cathy, my meetings buddy, I was able to persevere through tough times, and turn bad habits into good ones.
Making Changes Gradually
I must admit, making the necessary changes was overwhelming at first. But having 200 pounds to lose turned out to be a blessing in disguise for two reasons. First of all, losing all that weight takes a while, and when you have a lot to lose you have more time to get used to the system and make it second nature.
Cathy and I began eating out at Ruby Tuesday's each week following our meeting. At first, we'd order hamburgers without the cheese or fries, but after about nine months, we'd switched to a plain baked potato and steamed broccoli. Before, this would have screamed "deprivation" to me, but because my taste buds had had time to change, I actually craved simple food like that. I once joked to Cathy that had I known that one day I would be ordering a baked potato for lunch at Ruby Tuesday's, I'd have quit right then and there!
From Rocky to Routine
Going slowly wasn't the only thing I counted on to change my life. I also relied on tracking my POINTS® values. Every morning I'd plan out my whole day in my QuikTrak™ with pencil, then copy over in ink when I'd actually eaten them. My daughter even took my picture every week to chart my progress; it's fun to go back and see what I looked like when I wrote what I was feeling.
I don't know who invented the POINTS Weight-Loss System, but it's incredible! Yes, it took an investment of time in the beginning, but after a few weeks I had all the values down in my head. I started carrying my POINTSfinder® slide in my purse for grocery shopping, and I labeled the boxes of food in the cupboards with their values. After a while, it became part of me, and that's when I switched to the POINTS Bracelet, which I put on every morning with my watch. It's easy and wonderful for people who don't like to write their food down.
Ditching the Drive-Thru
And today? I can hardly count the number of ways my life has improved. There's the concrete: I can buckle my seatbelt, tie my shoes, wear jewelry, sit in a restaurant booth! I can feel my hip bones! (I'll never forget finding a lump in my side and thinking I had cancer for several weeks, until my husband told me it was my hip bone!)
And the profound: By bringing my children so frequently to the drive-thru, I was basically handing them a weight problem on a silver platter. We don't do that anymore, and I don't keep junk food in the house, either. But I don't want to stop at helping my family; my hope is that my story will inspire people who are suffering as much as I used to.
Two Years, 200 Pounds, to the Day
The day I reached Lifetime turned out to be my two-year Weight Watchers anniversary, and the day I reached the 200-pounds-lost* mark! My husband and kids took the day off for the meeting, my mom was there, my sister flew in, even my grandparents drove down from Maine. A regional representative gave me a letter, and my family brought a low fat ice cream cake. That day I thought about everything I'd gained and lost. I said a final goodbye to 14 sizes*, and hello to happiness.

According to a NYT piece, the food industry claims that people would not buy food if they knew it contained genetically modified organisms. The piece discussed a law passed by Vermont's legislature that would require foods that contained genetically modified organisms to be labeled. It told readers:
"Big food manufacturers and the biotech industry that produces the seeds for genetically engineered crops contend that mandatory labeling of products containing ingredients derived from those crops — also known as genetically modified organisms, or G.M.O.s — will be tantamount to putting a skull-and-crossbones on them."
Its striking that the industry apparently believes that it has to conceal information from the public in order to sell its products. Economists usually favor making information available to consumers so that they can make better choices.

Nebbiolo is a red-wine grape originating in the Piedmont region of Italy. It is the informing grape of such renowned wine types as Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara, and Ghemme, and is generally considered one of the dozen and a half or so of world-class red-wine grapes (those in boldface in the varietals lists near the top of these pages).
Wines from the Nebbiolo grape are typically of a relatively light color, with aromas described as "tar" and rose. Nebbiolos famously take—and arguably require to reach decent drinkability, owing to their very high tannin content in youth—considerable aging, during which they improve immensely to make some of the finest reds in the world. As they age, the wine color shifts to a tint often described as brick-red, and a host of complex flavors develop; flavor sensations often mentioned include violets, tar, wild herbs, cherries, raspberries, truffles, tobacco, and prunes; and the texture shifts from tannic to "velvety".
In its native environs, Nebbiolo (as with, for example, Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux) was not commonly issued as a monovarietal bottling, but was blended with modest amounts of other regional grapes to make regionally named wines. Those were usually oaked, as they still are; but the modern trend is to lesser exposure times using smaller barrels than traditional, with those smaller barrels of new oak (to more quickly soften the tannins and acids). Plus new oak adds some vanilla overtones to the already complex mix of Nebbiolo sensations.
Times have, however, changed. Today, wines labelled as Barolo or Barbaresco must by Italian wine law be 100% monovarietal Nebbiolo. (There is some conjecture that many winemakers are sneaking small amounts of other grapes into their supposedly 100% Nebbiolo wines to make them more accessible when young, but that is, of course, unconfirmed.) Other regional wines based on Nebbiolo allow small admixtures of other grapes, though not all makers do blends.
Even though the above-named wine types are all from the same grape grown in the same general region, there are perceptible difference in the wines and their stylings. Barolos, for instance, are generally held to be big and "brawny" wines, while Barbarescos are held to be more "elegant" (and approachable when still young). And even within those denominations, many claim to perceive sub-regional distinctions.
Nebbiolo wines tend to be very expensive, not only owing to their perceived high quality, but also owing to the fact that the grapes are difficult to grow well. One respected New World grower of the type famously says that "Nebbiolo is a grape for winemakers who have mastered pinot noir, and are looking for a greater challenge" (Pinot Noir is famous—or infamous— for being a profoundly tricky grape to reliably grow well; Jancis Robinson has written that "If Pinot Noir is the world's most tantalising grape, Nebbiolo runs it a close second - for very similar reasons."). Nebbiolo grapes are very late-ripening, though early-flowering (spring frosts are the kiss of death to it) and need lots of sun (among the many things they need, such as just the right soils to grow in.) Further, the vines are naturally vigorous growers, and need careful and strict pruning to produce the wanted flavors in the grapes themselves.
Nebbiolo wines being so expensive, it behooves the everyday wine drinker to seek out less-costly sources. By avoiding the prime regions, one can often get much more reasonably priced wines from grapes of nearly comparable quality. Wines likely to yield such bargains are Nebbiolo d'Alba, Langhe Nebbiolo, and Roero Nebbiolo.
Factoid: Nebbiolo has the big reputation, but it is only a tiny fraction of Piedmont grape growth: Barbera, for example, produces 15 times as much regional wine (and is reputed to be what the locals mostly drink).
"Wines made from Nebbiolo are characterized by their ample amounts of acidity and tannin. Most examples are wines built for aging and some of the highest quality vintages need significant age (at least a decade or more) before they are palatable to many wine drinkers and can continue to improve in the bottle for upward of 30 years. As Nebbiolo ages, the bouquet becomes more complex and appealing with aromas of tar and roses being the two most common notes. Other aromas associated with Nebbiolo include dried fruit, damsons, leather, licorice, mulberries, spice as well dried and fresh herbs. While Barolo & Barbaresco tend to be the heaviest and most in need of aging, wines made in the modernist style are becoming more approachable at a young age. Lighter styles from Carema, Langhe and Gattinara tend to be ready drink within a few years of vintage. Nebbiolo from California and Australia will vary from producer and quality of vineyard."
"So what does Nebbiolo at its best taste like? It's one of the few grapes you can sometimes identify simply by its colour alone, for it tends to take on a brick-orange tinge at the rim of its blackish ruby relatively early in its often-long life. Perhaps the most wonderful thing about Nebbiolo is its perfume. The wine is typically intensely aromatic, developing the most extraordinarily haunting bouquet in which, variously, roses, autumn undergrowth, woodsmoke, violets and tar can often be found - together with a greater variety of other ingredients than most other grapes. On the palate, the wine is typically high in acidity and, until after many years in bottle, tannins. In fact, top-quality Barolo made in the most traditional way is one of the slowest-maturing wines in the world, easily withstanding four decades in bottle. Small French oak barriques have been rapidly replacing large Slovenian oak casks, or botti, resulting in smoother, faster-maturing, if slightly less distinctive wines. Although in the 1980s botti versus barriques took on the dimensions of a holy war, most producers today use a mixture of these two sorts of container for aging, depending on the particular vintage and individual vineyard (often called a cru or sori here)."
"Nebbiolo is considered one of the great wine varieties, bigger, more acidic and tannic, sometimes even bitter, than most types, but consequently long-lived and prized by collectors.…Wines made from nebbiolo are typically tart, tannic and alcoholic. The classic romanticized description of Barolo is "tar and roses"; the best may also smell of cherries, violets and black licorice or truffles and have rich, chewy, deep and long-lasting flavors. Good Nebbiolo can harmonize with the richest, strongest-flavored meats and stews, as well as dry, aged cheeses that may be too strong or distinctive for other wines."
"Certainly Nebbiolo is formidable, with fierce tannins and acidity, but it is also gloriously scented—"tar and roses" is the classic description—and has a supple, evocative flavor that lingers on the tongue. Those flavors are more substantial and emphatic in Barolos and more delicate and filigreed in Barbarescos, the two primary wines from Piedmont."
"Nebbiolo (nay-bee-OH-loh), produced at its best, is capable of producing the biggest, most full-bodied wines in the world with intense concentration and firm tannins. The flavor and aroma profiles include dark fruit, primarily blackberry with loads of complex flavors including smoke, tar, licorice and rustic notes. The prominent wines of northern Italy, Barolo and Barbaresco are produced from this renowned red-wine grape. Nebbiolo also contains wonderful acidity."
"Characteristics of the grape: dark berries, dark cherries, black plums, anise, tobacco, cedar, smoke, tar, violets, truffles, black licorice, moss, earth, leather, dried fruits, rosemary, thyme.….The Piedmontese versions are predominately dry, elegant red wines that benefit from long bottle aging. To be consumed young, there are more accessible varietal releases, such as Nebbiolo d'Alba, that don't require as much aging. Warmer, New World climates produce more fruity versions."
"The Nebbiolo grape is typically characterized by the flavors of sweet fruits like blackberry, currant, plum and cherry, with high acidity levels and tough tannins. "
"As a Barolo ages, the color turns brick orange, and its silky tannins, complex aromas of dried rose and violet, of leather and truffle and tar, deep cherry and plum flavors emerge. The finish lasts forever. It's a wine to meditate, brood and ponder over."
Any of the "B/B" wines—Barolo and Barbaresco—are outside our price range. But, as noted up-page, one can get pretty decent specimens of Nebbiolo wines at plausible prices from nearby if technically "lesser" regional denominations. We have given a range of those, plus a couple of New World renditions of the grape.

|We do not normally list wines chiefly or solely available from the winery, but Caparone Winery has earned entries here for almost all of the half dozen varietals—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, and Aglianico— that they bottle, so ordering a mixed case or half-case is both reasonable and economical. This is one of the most undeservedly little-known wineries in the country, chiefly because Dave Caparone only bottles about 3,000 cases a year and disdains advertising and competitions.

High-rated Nebbiolo-based bottlings can easily run well into three-digit prices. But a pretty well-thought-of one in the more plausible price range is the Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Bussia (which is not the "Riserva" bottling).

Once we made the decision to clean our home with products that don't contain chemicals we had to start figuring out the best way to do it. As anyone with small (or large) children knows, the floors are a constant challenge. Especially because we have white floors that show EVERY spill or speck of dirt. Luckily we found a GREAT combination of products that not only cleans well, but disinfects as well as repels insects like ants and cockroaches, which were a problem for us when we first moved into this house. What do we use?
Dr. Bronners, vinegar, and hot water!
Vinegar is a great disinfectant, and when you add a small amount of peppermint Dr. Bronner's castile soap the combo cleans, disinfects, and discourages pests at the same time! Other scents like rose, almond or lavender smell lovely but don't seem to be as great of an insect repeller.
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 cup of Distilled White Vinegar (where to buy distilled white vinegar)
- 1 Tbsp peppermint Dr. Bronners castile soap (where to buy Dr Bronners castile soap)
- (Approx) 1.5 gallons of hot water
Here's how you combine the ingredients:
- Pour your vinegar into the bucket.
- Pour your hot water into the bucket.
- Pour your peppermint Dr. Bronner's castile soap in last. This is important because the soap will react by clumping up if you pour it into the vinegar before it's diluted.
Floors before (and, ahem, what they look like most of the time):
Floors after (aka, floors before visitors):

Kinja, the weblog guide
I've been meaning to write about kinja for a week or two, but my three ladies have been keeping me busy.
Over the last few months, I have been introduced to a bunch of other blogs that read on a daily basis. Read: I have a bookmark list linger then my screen can handle!
A while back I stumbled over kinja. What is it you ask? Well, I don't know much about RSS readers, but from what I understand this is a website version of a RSS reader. All I do is enter the web address of my favorite blogs (I have 16 there now) and kinja automatically updates their site with the latest postings of each of these sites. Read: My lazy ass doesn't have to *actually* click on my bookmarks anymore - I just go this this address and read my blogs.
The link below is my personal kinja address - check it out if you care - or make your own - or just read my favorite blogs.
