"Be yourself - Be easier on yourself. Become yourself, as fully as possible. Attempting to isolate those life lessons I could pass those life lessons I could pass back to the girl I used to be was a truly illuminating excercise. It made me look at my 17-year old daughter and remember, in a more powerful way than ever before, just how raw and vivid life is for her, in a way that has been only intermittenly for me as an adult. I would not go back to 16 for anything you could give me, and yet I still recognize that she has something I have lost along the way - something I had to lose - J.K. Rowling

Gold Medal Confidence

2011-12-27T17:46:00.000-08:00

It all began in 1866 when C.C.Washburn began operating his first flour mill, which produced far more barrels of flour than area bakers needed and was nicknamed "Washburn's Folly". Fourteen years later, Washburn enetered his flour at the first Millers' International Exhibition in Cincinnati, Ohio, where it took the "Gold Medal" grand prize as well as the name of its esteemed award. Today Gold Medal flour is America's best-selling flour, making "Washburn's Folly" a success.

Gold Medal still mills its own flour, just like it did over 125 years ago, blending the best premium hard and soft wheats from the heartland, providing the Gold Medal difference and consistency that home bakers have counted on for generations.

fresh fruit

2011-10-12T15:19:00.000-07:00

When picking fruits, look for plumpness, tenderness, and bright color. Fruits should be heavy for their size and free from mold, mildew, bruises, cuts, or other blemishes. Some fruits are picked and shipped while still firm, so they may need additional ripening.
"To ripen, place in a small clean paper bag. (A plastic bag is not recommended because it doesn't allow fruit to breathe and can produce mold on the fruit from trapped moisture.) Loosely close the bag and store at room temperature. Feel free to mix varities of fruit in the same bag. To speed up the ripening process, place a ripe apple or ripe banana in the bag with underripe fruit. Check fruit daily and remove any that yields to gentle pressure. Enjoy ripe fruit immediately or remove fruit from the bag and transfer it to the refrigerator for a few days to retard further ripening.

Gouri Rinov - 1902-1966 "An Artist Pilgrimage" By Walt Schnabel

Gouri Ivanov-Rinov entered the Dublin art world through a different door than most of the other
artists. He was not from a well-to-do New England family, nor had he access to a private school education or to study art in Europe.

Hewas born in Turkistan, Russia, in 1902. ----- In 1920 his family fled the Revolution to China.
---he was able to get a job as a deck hand on a freighter to earn his passage to the United States,
In December of 1922, Ivanov-Rinov arrived in Portland Oregon, with $7.00 in his pocket and no
English in his vocbulary.
----During the summers of 1925 to 1932 Rinov was the scenic designer for a theater in Falmouth,Massachusetts.
---------Perhaps this was a joyous view of New England through the eye of a naturalized American.

The Oak

2011-09-28T18:36:00.000-07:00

The English or Pendunculate Oak has held a special place in history not least because it provided most of the timber used for building naval vessels. A mature tree below grows into a characteristically majestic shape , the crown being widely and irregularly domed and supported by a sturdy and massive trunk. This oak has leaves with very short stalks but the acorns are carried in pairs on long stems. In spring the young green leaves emerge from their buds and the flowers appear. Male flowers are on very slender catkins which are grouped in bunches. Female catkins grow at the ends of new shoots. In the summer there is often further leaf growth. these leaves, speckled brush-cricket, are red.

Accenting a Kitchen cabinet

2011-09-22T08:41:00.000-07:00

delivers a custom crafted look

The rules of kitchen design tend to favor cabinets all in a row, but the beauty of rules is that they can
sometimes be bent for the sake of style, without compromising function, and that's exactly what happened in this kitchen. The long row of oak cupboards, nice enough to look at, but in a predictable sort of way. All it took was some small changes to have them stand out, litterally.
In the middle of the cabinet row, a nicely designed cupboard was easily removed so it could be stripped and prepped for a new stain and topcoat. Before the cabinet got its new color, the oak was treated with Minwax Water-Based Pre-Stain Wood Comditioner. Then it was stained with Minwax Water-Based Wood Stain Verdigris, one of the 68 custom-mixed decortor colors now availale. The final topcoating was done with Minwax Polcrylic Protective Finish in a semi-gloss sheen. But instead of simply putting the cabinet back where it was, wood spacer blocks were fastened to the wall to make the unit to protrude about four inches. To create a look of a traditional breakfront, oak beaded board and decorative brackets were installed underneath. Up top, new crown molding was installed along the entire row to tie it all together and further enhance the traditional style. The result of this bit of rule-bending gave the kitchen a new contour and a beautiful focal point. MINWAX minwax.com

it for the perfect crunch. It's "basic" made into something much more.
More unique.
More contemporary.
More delicious.

It's one of the worlds most desirable foods.In Italy is "gelato" in France its "glaze"but in the U.S. everyone calls it ice cream.
July is National Ice Cream Month and while the month is nearly over there's still time to do it justice.
President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month in 1984 and appointed the third Sunday as National Ice Cream Day Reagan recognized the popularity of ice cream and stated that these two events should be observed with "appropriate ceremonies and activities"
----------------------But this month is about celebrating all kinds of ice cream, whether you like the strange, the fancy, or the traditional.
Here is just a "taste" of what the Ardmore area has to offer for ice cream, both commercial and homemae as well as a little bit about ice cream history

Q: My Triglyceride are high and my doctor recommends that I take fish oil capsules, Can I take DHA instead ---Judy - Wis.

A: Fish oil is swimming in two forms of omega-3 fatty acids; DHA and EPA Both will do your heart, brain and eyes good. And your doc's recommendation is basically on target: Taking a fish-oil supplement will drop your triglycerides lower than Newt Gingrich's presidential odds.
But you're right - we think there's a better way: Take DHA omega-3 supplements made from algae, not fish oil - it's where fish get their omega-3s. With algae-based DHA, you avoid toxic substances like PCB's found in some fish-oil capsules. Slso, unlike our political parties, omega-3's work together, but DHA is responsible for most of the heart-healthy benefits of fish oil and gets transformed into EPA if you are short of EPA.
One side note: While there's evidence that EPA omega-3s may cut the risk of precancerous colon polyps (we've both had them removed) don't take extra EPA without consulting your doc.
It can trigger both clotting and bleeding problems, and it doesn't play nice with certain drugs.

New York City, even a van from a funeral home can be towed, and even if the van has a body in the back. That's what funeral director Paul DeNigris discovered the hard way when he came out of Redden's Funeral Home in Brooklyn and discovered his van was missing. Because it didn't look like a hearse, cops thought nothing of towing the vehicle, which had been parked in a "No Parking" zone for three hours. "I was just a wreck. I was frantic." DeNigris said of the incident.
He was able to retrieve the van, and the recently deceased, and he intends to fight the fine in court.

very simple way you can make a mechanical aid to help you draw and visualize perspective accurately. Take a box, remove the bottom, and divide the open end into squares by criss-cross threads, as illustrated. Set up this frame in front of the subject to be drawn and note how the squares divide the picture. Draw squares on your paper, and copy what you see through each square in the box. You will find that you have drawn objects in perspective. That is, you have drawn what your eyes tell you exists, and not what your mind knows exists.
A square-paned window provides a framework of vertical and horizontal lines which helps to determine the angle of the perspective lines.

According to--------------
An unplanned catch damaged a Texas fishing boat and left the captain with an amazing story about a 375 - pound shark that didn't get away.
Jason Kresse told the Associated Press it was "unreal" to seean 8-foot mako shark jump into his 25-foot boat and flop around for hours before dying.
A forklift was used to unload the shark Monday when the boat docked at Freeport, 55 miles south of Houston.
Kresse and two crewmen were fishing for red-snapper, 50 miles into the Gulf of Mexico. He says fish guts were dumped into the water and the shark apparently went into a frenzy, launching itself into the boat.
Nobody was hurt.
The shark will be displayed at a seaport company.

Weighing a hefty 4,100 pounds it doesn't have much "sizzle" in fuel-saving Stealth mode, but in Sprot mode this EV "gets genuinally frisky" - and still delivers an estimated 67 mpg.
Car and Driver The Karma delivers "sexy design stirred with a heap of sustainability" Two rear-axe;-mounted electric generators provide propulsion, supplemented by a 260-hp gas engine sourced by General Motors. The four-door exterior is stunning, and the four-seat interior is "elegantly tailored" with "lovely custom touches" By any standard this is " a beautiful luxurious machine." 2012 Fisher Karma Price $95,900
You should count it as a bonus that the Fisher Karma also "goes easy on the guilt."

2011-05-11T14:33:00.000-07:00

Find out if your phone's screen features a soil-resistant coating. If so, use a dry clean cloth to clean. Otherwise, use " a slightly dampened microfiber or lens-cleaning cloth." Avoid soaps and cleansers.
-Get in the crevices. Treat handhelds as you would a computer keyboard. Remove dirt using either a can of compressed air or a small brush "like a baby's toothbrush" If keys remain sticky, try a remoistened electronics-cleaning wipe and work into crevices with a fingernail or a toothpick.

Tea and Receptions

2011-05-03T06:43:00.000-07:00

One of the most delightful traditions in entertaining is the afternoon tea or reception. When the tea is small, the beverage and simple foods may be placed on a tray or small table. Arrange a teapot, hot water pot, sugar and creamer to the right of the hostess for easy serving. Cups and saucers, stacked plates, silverware and napkins are placed to her left.
A formal tea or reception usually is given in honor of a person or a special occasiion. It is customary to serve two beverages at a large tea or reception. The tea service sits on one end of a large table. The other beverage, coffee or a light punch, is at the other end. Set cups and saucers on the left, teaspoons and napkins on the right, and food platters in easy reach along the length of the table.

Centerpieces

2011-05-02T10:41:00.000-07:00

For a centerpiece, let your mood and resoucres be your guide. There's no end to the list of materials that lend themselves to creative, imaginative centerpieces - flowers, plants, fruits, vegetables, branches of trees and shrubbery, candles, driftwood. Special containers are not necessary. Take a fresh look at your miscellaneous possessions. You might use cream pitchers, low dishes, wicker baskets, or even bottles.
As the focal point, the centerpice shoukd be in harmony with the rest of the table. It can echo the lines of your flatware and glassware or pick up the colors of your china. A centerpiece with table linen colors gives a unifying effect.
For variety, place decorations at the end or on one side of the table. This also gives the table a more balanced look when serving an odd number of guests.
Candles, especially the highly decorated ones, often used more for decorations than for light. Candles used after dark should be lit.
Flowers are a natural favorite for table decorations. Always place formal arrangements for sit-down meals in the center so they wikl look good in all directions. Keep height below 14 inches. Taller ones may be used on buffet tables. Set potted plants in saucers or leakproof containers.

Glassware

2011-04-30T06:49:00.000-07:00

adds the dimension of height to your table setting. Base your choice on the pattern of dinnerware and the occasion or style of service.

For buffet service. sturdy tumblers or low goblets are best, sice they're informal in character and easy to carry. Dinner glassware usually means a footed tumbler of medium height. Very tall goblets are apropriate only on formal tables. Stemmed goblets tip easily, so check the base for proportionate breadth and weight.
When choosing crystal glassware, look for clarity and luster. Listen for the bell-like tone when you tap the rim of the goblet with your fingernail while holding the base.

Tableware

2011-04-27T12:56:00.000-07:00

The size of your family, they type of entertaining you do, the decor of your home, your budget, and your personal taste -- all are factors to consider when choosing your dinnerware, flatware and glassware.

-------------Dinnerware is the single word that encompasses that wide world of china, stoneware, pottery, and plastics. Colors, patterns, and styles of dinnerware range from bold to traditional.

------Start with a set of dishes that harmonizes with the color and formality of your home. A set of one-color dishes make a smart basic investment. Or, choose a simple pattern of dinnerware that you can use with several color schemes. Many dinnerware patterns have the advantage of being sold by the individual piece as well as in single or group place settings.

-----When selecting dinnerware, you know you want it to be beautiful, in good taste, long-lasting, and functional. But shape and care requirements also are important.

-----Cups should be shaped to they fo not tip easily and should fit firmly in the saucer. Handles
should be enough to be easy to grasp and comfortable to hold.

-----Plates that are round are easier to stack than square or free-form ones. Heavily embossed patterns collect dust and food in the grooves and may need to be cleaned frequyently with a brush.

-----Types of dinnerware range from plastic to earthenware, including ironstone and ovenware, to fine china and bone china. Their difference in composition give them a formal or informal feeling.

coverings

2011-04-26T07:44:00.000-07:00

The tradtional table "linens" have been expanded to include nearly every fabric on the market plus plastics, woven straw fibers, and paper products. A collection of cloths, mats, runners, and napkins in a variety of colors and materials lets you choose and change table settings to match your mood or to create a special theme.
--------------------A good basic collection includes easy-care place mats for everyday use, plus several tablecloths that you can use for both formal and informal settings. If you entertain frequently, you'll probably want a wide selection of colors, patterns, and materials in cloths, mats, runners, and napkins to use interchangeably.

--------------------------When buying table coverings, look for the fiber content listed on the "hangtags" This determines the amount of care they'll need and the amount of wear they'll give.
Disposable paper table coverings are also available in many colors and designs.

settings

2011-04-25T12:10:00.000-07:00

Half the fun of preparing a delicious meal lies in planning a pretty table setting as a background for serving. Gone are the days when only guests were treated to the best china, flatware, and crystal, while the family faced the same table setting day in and day out.
-----------------Taking the time to set an attractive table makes every meal more enjoyable, since the setting is as much a part of the meal as the food which is served. An imaginative setting seems to make food taste better.
----------------Where to begin? Your table settings should reflect your own interest and life-style. A brightly colored set of place mats or a basket filled with garden flowers could be your inspiration. Notice store displays and advertisements.
-------------------Basically,table settings include the table coverings and centerpiece as well as the dinnerware and glassware. Co-ordinating the colors, designs, and styles is the secret to making the table setting an attractive backround for the food.

Why call big surprises black swan?

2011-04-19T08:40:00.000-07:00

It goes back to the 2nd century Roman poet Juvenal, who is said that some events are "as rare a bird as a black swan." In realty, black swans aren't so rare but Europeans once believed there was no such thing because they ad never seen one. This certainty evaporated when early European explorers of Australia came upon swans whose feathers were black. The term has recently come into vogue thanks to Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book the The Black Swan : The Impact of the Highly Improbable, which became a surprise best seller after the 2008 financial crisis As defined by Taleb, a black rack swan is not just an unpresedented event but one with a large spread impact. "A small number of black swans," Taleb writes, "explain almost everything in our world. A symbol of rare, transforming occurences.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Swans will keep the ponds and lakes cleaner
