Summer is Here-

Blaire at Story time
Brooke- Kindergarten Graduation
So proud of her!
Brynlee has learned to balance a plate on her head! Don't know where she got this?!
My beautiful ballerina!

I just wanted to add a new post so that when I check on all my other blogger buddies I won't see a month old post on mine. I love to keep up with other people and check facebook more regularly, but seem to let the blog slide. I mean I really don't think I have but maybe 1-2 readers, so maybe they will forgive me. Let's see...we have made it though Kindergarten graduation and the chicken pox, a dance recital and are finishing up swimming lessons this week. We are trying to get in a summer routine but when I have anything in the way like swimming lessons this week, it seems to just be survival mode that day. But next week we will start activites like bowling, the movies, park, or library. Whatever we feel like tackling that day!

It Can't End Like This

Gary Gordon

"Latch Johnson....last of the real mountain men..." he said, under his breath. He let out a giggle at his own joke. He was tall and raw-boned, blond hair sticking out from under his battered fedora. He looked more like a back woods hillbilly than a mountain man. Hell...he'd lived in Montana's high country pretty near all of his life and, as far as he knew, he was the ONLY mountain man in these parts. He hadn't met anyone face to face in more than 5 years...no "mountain men" anyway. Sure, he'd seen the jerks who came up on the highline to hunt, but they sure as hell weren't anyone he cared to know.

He coughed and wheezed...the thin mountain air biting into his lungs as he made his way up the draw.

Latch had first heard the noises two nights ago. High up on the mountain and just to the left of Beartooth Pass. He figured it was just another bunch of city-folk out getting drunk and shooting innocent pop cans for fun, so he hadn't thought much more about it. Single shots, sometimes in twos and threes, echoed around the canyons, closely followed by Indian war-whoops and drunken laughter. However, even boneheads don't go shooting in the dead of night....

The shooting had started just after three o'clock in the morning and no laughter this time....only screams. Not manly shouts of rage...oh no....these were real, full-blown, blood-curdling shrieks. It sounded like those boys were filling their pants with the runny green shit of the Truly Scared. Latch had headed out shortly after the gunfire had stopped and was just now making his way up the pass. He'd been walking for about 3 hours now and he knew they had to be close....he could smell the gunpowder residue still in the air. He gripped his 30-.06 a little tighter and decided he'd better keep his eyes peeled. There was no sense in running into a problem....sneaking up on it, real quiet-like....that was the ticket.

Dawn was lighting the ridgeline and he was able to make better time now. He thought he saw a reflection through the trees ahead. He quickly moved off of the trail, sliding up against a large cedar tree. Keeping his eyes on the spot where he'd seen the glint, he knelt slowly and reached for his binoculars. His knee sank into the half-frozen mud as he panned back and forth....searching for the source of the reflection. There it was again!....a single flash....maybe a signal mirror?....It looked like there was some movement back in the brush.

Then Latch saw a figure stumble out of the treeline. It was a man. He was wearing mirrored sunglasses and every time he turned his head in Latch's direction, the rising sun caught the glasses with a golden flash. He was wearing your standard hunting clothes - flannel shirt, jeans, boots, and a down-filled vest. He wasn't watching where he was going too well though. He seemed damned worried about something that was behind him and looked backward more than forward as he stumbled down the trail.

Latch panned the binoculars in the direction the young man had come from and saw more movement in the woods. Some kind of animal maybe....low to the ground and dark colored. It moved out of the trees and into the clearing, spotting the hunter stumbling along down slope.

"Jesus Christ!" Latch hissed. He didn't know what to think. He simply watched as the situation demanded....helpless to do otherwise....shocked to the core of his spleen. His heart was beating like a jack-hammer and the blood roared in his ears. The binoculars revealed a creature that was no relation to anything on Earth.

It held itself low to the ground and was about three feet tall at the shoulder and about ten feet long. Its arms and legs splayed out from its body like a huge lizard....and there were five of them - two on each side and one protruding from the centre of its chest. The "chest-arm" pointed straight ahead and wove back and forth like a second head. The head!....Oh Gods!....The head was tiny....hardly larger than its neck....with the features all smashed together and mashed onto the very end. Latch thought it looked a lot like a sloth....and a damned ugly sloth at that. Looking closely, Latch could see that its colouring wasn't fur, as he had first thought. Its skin was a dark grey color and looked thick and leathery....like the hide of an elephant. No tail....but Latch could see a very human set of "franks and beans" hanging from between the powerful legs.

"Freakin' lizard-men from Mars," he whispered. Latch felt a little light-headed and had to fight off the insanity of the situation. Deep down, Latch was afraid he was becoming unhinged....but then the proof was right there in front of him. The guy with the sunglasses was about a hundred yards away and coming on fast. He was blubbering like a little girl and Latch could see the dark stain where he'd wet himself. Looking back, he saw the lizard thing and began screaming in earnest again....praying for someone to save him....help him.

He watched as the lizard-man put on a burst of speed and charged the hunter. Ole Mirror Shades got about six steps before he went down under the writhing ball of grey. Latch was expecting carnage, but the lizard-man simply slapped Mirror Shades up 'side the head a few times until he shut up (read: passed out), then he slung him over his back and began to trot back to the treeline.

Moving the binoculars back up to the trees, Latch saw several more of the creatures waiting and watching. Two of them raised their ugly little heads and made a sort of whinnying sound. The lizard-man carrying the hunter moved into the trees and uttered a coughing grunt that seemed to speak volumes to his buddies. They set off at a gallop and Latch could follow them only intermittently....moving through the trees towards a huge clearing covered by the overhang of a cliff. There seemed to be more of them there ....maybe three or four more....it was too far away to really tell.

Latch raised the binoculars and fiddled with the focus. It looked like.... yes.... four more of the lizard things were waiting for the others to return. There seemed to be something under the overhang of the cliff but it was still in shadow. Since they were about four hundred yards away, Latch decided to risk moving up the trail to get a better view. He kept to the trees and moved
around the clearing, coming up onto a hill that gave him a much better view of the lizard-man camp and their.....ship.

"Well, by the four bells of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph....a real live spaceship," Latch mumbled. His rifle slipped from nerveless fingers and hit the ground. A single shot exploded into the air and brought him out of his daze. He raised the glasses and looked to see what effect it had had on the lizard-man camp.

Two were pointing in his direction....the others were on their way down the mountain.

"Aw shit!" Latch groaned, "I think I just screwed the pooch big time....."

Latch dropped the binoculars and they fell hard against his chest, the strap digging into his neck as he reached for his fallen rifle. This can't be real, he thought.... then began chanting it like some demented mantra.

But, he knew this mountain, dammit! Nobody or no....thing....was going to catch him. He looked back over his shoulder checking for signs of pursuit, but he'd stumbled into the woods and the trees blocked any real view. He turned and began thrashing his way through the brush, trying not to think about what was behind him.

His quasi-controlled fall down the mountain suddenly turned into a genuine, ass-over-tin can, rolling sprawl, as a hidden tree root grabbed his left ankle and threw him into the air. Latch managed to slow himself somewhat by strategically dragging his face and chest against several tree trunks on the way down. Finally, he jammed his rifle into the muddy ground, stopping his forward progress....and completely stopping up the barrel. No time to clear it now. It had, in effect, now become useful only as a club.

He checked himself and surveyed the damage. Aside from a few throbbing spots that would soon blossom into Technicolor bruises, nothing seemed broken. He started to rise and saw a flash of movement in his peripheral vision. He turned slowly and froze.

Not 50 feet away, one of the lizard-men crouched....staring. He wasn't looking for Latch, though. He'd FOUND him. The alien was motionless.... expressionless. He simply stared.

Latch backed slowly away. His rifle was no good with the barrel full of mud, besides, he didn't really want to piss these lizard-guys off. He didn't know how many were close by and he hadn't seen them kill anything so far...so he'd just have to wait and see what happened.

He heard a muffled coughing sound from behind him and spun around, finding himself face-to face with one of the aliens. Fear overrode reasoning as Latch threw his rifle at it, a scream rising in his throat. He fell backward and tried to scoot on his ass away from the alien standing over him.

The alien had caught Latch's rifle in mid-air and was examining it with interest. It was standing....after a fashion....with its two hind legs splayed out and the leg in the middle of its chest extended to the ground and supporting its upper body. From his position on the ground, Latch could see that the alien was a male....and a lucky one, by human standards.

The alien had apparently decided that Latch's rifle was of no use, since it tossed it aside after bending the barrel to a 45 degree angle. His chest-leg bent backwards, lowering the upper body down to the ground and he moved towards Latch.

There was nowhere for Latch to go. His back was pressed firmly up against a large tree and his fear had, in effect, completely paralysed him. He saw two more lizard-men emerge from the trees to join the one moving towards him. He heard a rustling from his rear that told him that there were more aliens behind him too. The leader, if it was the leader, now crouched directly in from of him. It tilted its head and looked him over. There was absolutely no expression on its face....none at all. Now that he was so close, Latch could see that its eyes were lidless and didn't seem to have any whites....just solid, black orbs sitting in red-rimmed sockets. The nose was just two runny-looking slits in the front of its face with frilly appendages that fluttered with each breath. The mouth was very small and oval with wide-spread, needle-sharp teeth that were visible only intermittently. It moved closer and its breath rolled over Latch like a moist, stinking, fog.

It lowered its chest leg, supporting its upper body, and raised its left hand.... palm up towards Latch.

As Latch looked down at the alien's left hand, the right came sweeping in and cuffed him twice up side the head....hard. Latch was unconscious before he could even register the pain.

Latch awoke feeling like he had a king-sized hangover. His head was throbbing and his neck itched something terrible. He tried to scratch it, but found that his hands were immobilized....actually, his whole body refused to obey any commands. He could move his head around and was surprised to see that there were no ropes around him....nothing seemed to be holding him.

That's strange....He tried to say....then realized that no sound had come out. The front of his throat itched just like the back of his neck and Latch figured they must have given him some kind of a drug to keep him quiet and immobile. He could still see though, and looked around the lizard-man campsite.

Off to his left he saw two men...paralysed just as he was, and looking at him. Their eyes were wide with fear and they silently pleaded with him to DO SOMETHING! Latch didn't know how many of them had been here originally. He'd heard the shooting and seen them grab the one guy with the mirrored shades, but all he could see right now was the two in front of him....helpless as kittens...helpless as he himself was....

Latch, and the two other men, lay in a slight depression which kept them from seeing what went on in the middle of the camp. They could hear a strange sound....a rhythmic hissing, sometimes short, sometimes long and drawn out. Latch thought it must be some form of language, but it was like none he'd ever heard.

Suddenly, a lizard-man appeared from over the rise and looked over the three men. He picked up the nearest guy, slung him over his shoulder, and carried him away. As he was leaving, Latch could see the bloody cuts in the man's neck. Two deep slices, one in front and one in back. Gaping, lipless wounds that failed to bleed. Latch realized what it meant and paled. The aliens had cut the spinal cord and sliced the larynx so they could neither move nor make a sound. Latch was sure he pissed himself at that point....but he couldn't feel it.

The lizard-man returned and picked him up like a sack of potatoes and slung him over his shoulder. Latch could feel bones grinding together in his neck, but there was no pain. He tried to scream and made another connection...all that came out was a long, drawn out, hissing sound. At least he knew what the noises he'd heard earlier were. Oh god...He thought....This can't be happening....

He was dropped in the centre of the camp. There were seven aliens there.... each one crouched over a different man. They were pulling the men apart.... piece by piece. Some started on the hands....some on the feet....but they were all intent on dissecting their prizes. The hissing was like a roomful of broken steam pipes as the men tried to scream out their horror. Their heads flailed from side to side...well, the ones that were living flailed. Some seemed, already, mercifully dead.

Latch watched as the lizard man who had brought him up here extended his chest-leg and freed up his hands for the task ahead.

Latch saw the alien lift up his arm and examine it. There was absolutely no sensation whatsoever as the lizard-guy turned his arm this way and that. Latch noticed that the alien's hand were very human looking....except they had an extra thumb on the opposite side of their hand. Horny-looking nails capped the strong blunt fingers and Latch watched as they made their way down his arm to his hand. The alien gripped his wrist in its left hand and examined his fingers individually with its right. The alien took his forefinger and bent it quickly back until it touched his wrist.

Jesus!...NO!...Latch thought....as he hissed out a silent scream. There was no pain at all, but that made it even more macabre. Why was this happening?.... How could he stop this nightmare?....God, Please!

The alien was dispassionately twisting the finger back and forth. Latch could hear the broken knuckle grating in its socket, but was helpless to do anything about it. The alien grabbed hold of the finger and, with a twisting motion, pulled it off....blood spattered the ground as the tendons snapped like rubber bands and twisted like living things against his palm. The alien leaned forward and spit a stream of mucus into the hole where his finger had been, and it immediately stopped spewing blood. Latch mewed out a rasping hiss in response.

The alien looked at him with disinterest and began to dissect the finger....pulling it apart with its horny nails to expose the glistening white bones beneath. It touched the bloody offering to its forked tongue and let out a muffled coughing sound. The other aliens looked up to see what was going on....then went about their own grisly, bloody business. Latch closed his eyes tightly and prayed for an end to the horror.

He felt a tug and heard a sound like someone crushing a handful of celery. He opened his eyes to see his whole hand separating from his arm. The alien was twisting it back and forth and pulling. His fingers were curled into a twisted claw as the tendons and ligaments were pulled taut....then it began to tear loose. Huge gouts of blood boiled out of the torn flesh as the alien pulled the hand completely off the arm. The alien then leaned forward again and calmly spit a huge, phlegmy ball of mucus onto the stump to stop the bleeding.

Latch hissed out another silent scream as sanity, mercifully, fled his body.... leaving the lizard men to their bloody examinations.

The yin and yang of the Willamette River

The Tualatin River meets the Willamette with a washboard ripple between tree-lined shores, like a naughty little brother firing spitballs. The lesser sibling makes up for his lack of formidability with a tenacious furrow, a stonewalling of sorts, that eventually succumbs to the head lock of big brother wrestling him north.

A short paddle upriver from the confluence of the Tualatin the largess of the Willamette was partitioned during the Ice Age and dotted with building-size rock formations some distance from the shore. Unlike the strong current of the main flow “The Narrows” are protected and peaceful canals lined with boulders and rocky piles, the entrance of some barely large enough to fit a kayak. Quiet chamber respites offer still space to fully wake, grateful for the hopeful buzzing of the bee.

A couple of miles downriver between West Linn and Oregon City lies the horseshoe-shaped basalt shelf of Willamette Falls. Seen only from a distance, the commanding waters spill over the 40 foot tall, 1500 foot wide flow in volumes. The native fishermen thought the treacherous waterfall was a gift from the Gods. Only the natives and millworkers who once sweated over grinders under the mezzanine and ate their lunch in Building A know the full power of the gush.

Below Oregon City and West Linn, on the way to the confluence of the Columbia, Goat Island creates a quiet channel swimming distance from the water’s edge. The neighbors and visitors to the city park that line the shore appreciate herons coming and going from their rookery, the cacophony of distant squawks and the occasional otter gliding in the passage.

Hearing for Wind Farm Bills Controversial

Identical State Senate and Assembly bills, steered, respectively by State Senator Jeff Plale, D-Milwaukee, and State Representative James Soletski, D-Green Bay, have received a joint public hearing with industry representatives and environmental advocates supporting statewide wind farm standards while many residents questioned the bills. Much of the more than eight hours of public testimony was from those opposed to state guidelines for wind farm placement. The bills would not create the standards or determine where in Wisconsin wind farms should be built, but the legislation would let the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin draft a set of statewide standards for legislative review. Proponents argue that town and county ordinances vary greatly and deter wind developers from building farms in Wisconsin because there are too many hurdles.

Wisconsin is moving toward the time of year that produces the most tornadoes here. June has been the most common month for tornadoes to occur in Wisconsin. The average number to hit each year is 21.

For the ninth year in a row, Wisconsin has counted an increase in the number of public school students eligible for free and reduced-price lunches.

According to the Dept of Public Instruction, 43.2% of students qualify, up from 42.5% a year ago. In raw numbers the total is now 359,000 Wisconsin public school students.

Approximately one-third come from households earning less than $30,000 a year.

Gov. Walker signed into law on Friday, a measure allowing employers to reduce workers' hours, rather than laying them off, when business is slow.

Under the new law, workers could receive state unemployment benefits, for the hours lost. Employers would have to continue providing health insurance coverage and retirement plans.

According to the governor, the work-share program could save the state's unemployment reserve fund nearly five million dollars. He says 24 other states operate similar programs.

In February, when Walker administration outlined its plan to change the Medicaid program in Wisconsin, it estimated the additional cost at $664 million during the next two-year state budget.

Now, the Legislative Fiscal Bureau puts the likely total at $734 million.

The administration rejected federal money to expand the state's Medicaid offerings, so that it covered all people living at up to 130% of the poverty level. The governor's plan, is to cover all households with incomes up to 100% of the poverty line, and then move the others into the federal marketplace.

The DNR must have raised questions about five locations where Gogebic Taconite wanted to dig test holes in northern Wisconsin. State inspectors visited the sites this week, after the company submitted an application to do the work.  Now G-Tac has submitted a new application with the State of Wisconsin, asking for DNR approval to dig eight holes instead of 13.

Fire crews have contained the huge wildfire in northwest Wisconsin, and are now extinguishing hot spots that erupt. According to the DNR, 8,131 acres burned.

Investigators have concluded that a logging machine started the blaze.  Workers were harvesting timber, when the operator of a piece of equipment noticed smoke coming from the cutting head of his machine. He used an extinguisher to try to douse the fire, while co-workers called 911.

The Douglas County District Attorney is recommending that no criminal charges be filed.

The name Three Bridges Park has been selected for the new park that will open on July 30, in Milwaukee's Menomonee Valley.  Nearly 800 names were suggested.

Gov. Walker appears to be a quarter-way to his goal of creating 250,000 private sector jobs from 2011-2015.

The big wildfire in northwest Wisconsin is contained. However, it has scorched 9,000 acres and destroyed dozens of homes and buildings.

Among items the Legislature's budget committee approved Wednesday:

-- Adding 61 positions to Dept. of Revenue to collect delinquent taxes (estimated at $1 billion)

-- Spending $2 million federal to set up private deer hunts

-- Reducing wolf hunting license fees from $100 to $47 (residents) and $500 to $249 (non-residents)

-- Relaxing Wisconsin's chronic wasting disease testing protocols and allowing elk importation

-- Assigning the Dept. of Revenue to manage unclaimed funds, removing that duty from state Treasurer

Dept. of Natural Resources

Update: The big wildfire in northwest Wisconsin is contained. However, it has scorched 9,000 acres and destroyed dozens of homes and buildings.

According to a new Marquette Law School Poll, Wisconsin would favor a Clinton-Ryan presidential race, with Clinton winning.

Wisconsin’s newest Congressman wants the U.S. to amend its Constitution, so it guarantees adult Americans the right to vote in their home district.

Laid-off workers in Wisconsin may have to search for four jobs a week – rather than two, if they want to continue receiving unemployment compensation. The Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee approved the higher standard on Monday. Now it’s part of the proposed state budget, and would give Wisconsin one of the highest standards in the country.

Wisconsin is not the first state to question its universities’ books according to Kevin Kiley, a reporter with the online publication Inside Higher Education. Kiley says other states have also assumed they’ve stumbled upon a surplus, then learned otherwise.

Quotations by Charles S Peirce

The one [the logician] studies the science of drawing conclusions, the other [the mathematician] the science which draws necessary conclusions.
Quoted in J R Newman, The World of Mathematics (New York 1956).

...mathematics is distinguished from all other sciences except only ethics, in standing in no need of ethics. Every other science, even logic, especially in its early stages in danger of evaporating into airy nothingness, degenerating, as the Germans say, into an arachnoid film, spun from the stuff that dreams are made of. There is no such danger for pure mathematics; for that is precisely what mathematics ought to be.
Quoted in J R Newman, The World of Mathematics (New York 1956).

Among the minor, yet striking characteristics of mathematics, may be mentioned the fleshless and skeletal build of its propositions; the peculiar difficulty, complication, and stress of its reasonings; the perfect exactitude of its results; their broad universality; their practical infallibility.
Quoted in J R Newman, The World of Mathematics (New York 1956).

Mathematics is purely hypothetical: it produces nothing but conditional propositions.

The pragmatist knows that doubt is an art which has to be acquired with difficulty.
Collected Papers.

The Universe ought to be presumed too vast to have any character.

This branch of mathematics [Probability] is the only one, I believe, in which good writers frequently get results which are entirely erroneous.
Quoted in C C Gaither, A E Cavazos-Gaither, Mathematically Speaking (Bristol 1998).

The opinion which is fated to be ultimately agreed to by all who investigate, is what we mean by the truth, and the object represented in this opinion is the real.

Weight loss can be handled the same way. Don’t try to lose all the weight you need to at one time, rather just lose smaller amounts, 5 or 10 pounds, at a time. In this way you will have a better chance at success since you will be building on past experience and success.

Replace saturated fats where possible with EFAs. A teaspoon of flax seed oil and a teaspoon of butter or trans fat-rich margarine both contain 45 calories and 5g of fat, so you might as well opt for the healthier fat.

At snack time choose protein over carbohydrate. Think twice before grabbing that package of cookies out of the vending machine in the afternoon. When you eat refined carbohydrates your spike your insulin which makes fat storage increase and fat burning decrease. Instead reach for a protein snack such as a cheese stick or a few nuts. Protein causes the production of glucagon which counters the fat storing effects of insulin.

Vary your calories during the week. You will need to keep your calories lower to lose weight but if you keep them too low for too long your metabolism will slow down and your body will fight to keep your fat. Take one day during your dieting week to boost your calorie intake and you will boost your metabolism and burn fat faster.

At each meal take a look at your plate and draw an imaginary line through the middle. Fill the upper half of your plate with vegetables and then in the lower half draw another imaginary line dividing the lower half of your plate into a right and left side, on one side put a protein choice and on the other a carbohydrate choice. Add a couple of good snacks during the day and you have an eating plan that is simple to continue using for the rest of your life.

Exercise more. This is the most dreaded part of weight loss for most people but if done correctly can be most fun and enjoyable. Simple activities such as walking, riding a bicycle and swimming can go a long ways to further up your metabolism and increase your stamina. Set aside (schedule) 2 or 3 times a week to do this for 20 to 45 minutes. Involve a partner, your spouse, a close friend or even your pet. Dogs are great exercise partners. This should not be overdone. A little muscle soreness is ok but you don’t want this to be a painful experience. Exercising this way will be fun and become second nature, easier to do as you get in shape!

Control the intake of the foods that are rich in fats and carbohydrates. This would stop the weight gain as the first step and would induce the weight loss as the concluding step. We have many more Weight Loss Tips Articles Now Available.

Superbowl Sunday Steak Night

How did I spend Superbowl Sunday? Not watching football! I went swimming, ran errands, took care of chores and was super productive with my “To Do List.” I went shopping too (the stores were all a ghost town). I finally found a pair of jeans and a new pair of black pants. Guess what size? Size 4!! I haven’t been a size 4 in about 2 years I think. The 15 pounds I gained on Celexa and training for Hood to Coast made me at least a size 6 (some pants a size 8).

I also got a new t-shirt in a size “Extra Small”!!

I bought them at Kohl’s and I’ve written before about the topic of Vanity Sizing. I think Kohl’s intentionally labels their bigger sizes as smaller. I mean come on, an X-Small? It was huge too for being “extra small.” Despite the obvious vanity sizing, I still like Kohl’s because the clothes fit my body right. I got home and I watched this:

I wasn’t a total party-pooper. I made Michael and I some Superbowl snacks/late lunch. I found this Weight Watchers recipe for spinach dip that I was dying to try.

Hot Spinach Dip
Gina’s Weight Watcher Recipes

Servings: 10 • Serving Size: 1/4 cup • Old Points: 2 pts • Points+: 3 pts
Calories: 92.2 • Fat: 6.8 g • Carb: 3.0 g • Fiber: 0.7 g • Protein: 5.3 g

  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and excess liquid squeezed out
  • 1/2 cup light sour cream
  • 5 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup Parmigiano Reggiano
  • 1/4 cup scallion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 cup (4 oz) shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
  • fresh pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375°.

Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Place in an oven-proof dish and bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes, until hot and cheese is melted. Serve right away.

Can be made one day in advance and stored in the refrigerator before baking. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.

Since I skipped lunch and swam Sunday morning I did not feel guilty indulging in oh…I’d say about 4 servings of the dip! Oh well! It was so easy to make.

The ingredients were all something I had on hand and it was simple to follow.

I mixed all the ingredients in a bowl and actually added a little more garlic than the recipe called for.

The spinach had been defrosting in the fridge over night and I had to squeeze it to get the excess water out. That was messier than I was expecting.

I mixed the spinach into the dip and then baked it for about 25 minutes. It was bubbling and creamy when it was finished. While it was baking I put together a tray of munchies: carrots, celery, pickles, Pita Chips, olives, bean dip, and sliced kiwi.

All healthy stuff! Nothing to feel guilty about on that tray. Michael was happy with the snacks I made and I devoured a nice portion of the plate before disappearing from the Football Room. 🙂

Since Sunday night is typically steak night for us PLUS we planned out our meals so it was that way, I bought a cut of steak at the grocery store yesterday. This time I bought a smaller cut for Michael and I to split. I get about 4 ounces and Michael gets 8 ounces.

It’s a pretty thin cut of Top Loin New York steak (boneless). I marinaded the steak while we ate our dip and snacks: Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, garlic, splash of Cabernet Sauvignon.

The sad fact was that by the time it was dinner time neither of us were really hungry. I *hope* that the steak was okay to marinade over night because it’s going to be a Monday night meal now.

QUESTION: What did you make for the Superbowl? Any special recipes to share?

10 Responses

  1. Totally random, but that is the EXACT SAME DVD that I watched yesterday before the game!!! The third episode ends with a crazy cliffhanger – I can’t wait to get the second disc from Netflix!

    Congrats on the Size 4s! 🙂

  2. I’m curious, how tall are you? I’m pretty sure you’ve mentioned it before but I can’t find it now.

    Nice work on size 4!

  3. I didn’t cook for superbowl this year – we just had premade BBQ wings. BUT I have to say I also love splitting steaks with my husband – it makes having a nice steak dinner much more budget-friendly (and healthier too of course!)

BAR HARBOR | Lobster Pound + Ice Cream

Bar Harbor Maine | Lobster PoundBar Harbor Maine | Lobster PoundBar Harbor Maine | Lobster PoundBar Harbor Maine | Lobster PoundBar Harbor Maine | Lobster PoundBar Harbor Maine | Lobster PoundBar Harbor Maine | Lobster PoundBar Harbor Maine | Mt. Desert Ice CreamBar Harbor Maine | Mt. Desert Ice CreamBar Harbor Maine | Mt. Desert Ice CreamBar Harbor Maine | Mt. Desert Ice Cream
As cliche as it sounds, one of the top things we wanted to do while in Maine was eat lobster. Lobster pounds were everywhere, even in the rest area buildings along the highway. Our first experience with Maine Lobster happened at a super touristy spot near the water in Bar Harbor. We sat/froze outside while we waited (and waited, and waited, and waited…) for our smorgasbord of steamed clams and 2lb lobsters to arrive. After proclaiming that we couldn’t eat another bite we walked up Main Street and turned the corner to find ourselves at a tiny little ice cream shop with the most amazing flavors. We tried all sorts before finally settling on old favorites: sweet cream and salted caramel. Perfect ending to a perfect summer’s day.

Bar Harbor / The closest town to Acadia National Park,  Bar Harbor is extremely touristy but cute nonetheless. During the day several cruise ships drop off literally boat loads of tourists that fill the streets and souvenir shops. With this in mind it was a fun town to explore on foot. Besides it’s proximity to Acadia NP there are a bunch of other activities that one can engage in Bar Habor — kayaking, renting a bicycle, fishing, boat tours, whale watching, etc. My favorite was just hanging out in Agamont Park — a beautiful grassy area on a hill overlooking the pier. Great place for a picnic and some ice cream.

Stewman’s Lobster Pound /$$-$$$// I sort of have a rule about eating seafood — it should be eaten by the water so at least there’s an impression that the seafood is coming from the sea. We definitely paid for this privilege at Stewman’s. Lobster is expensive here — in fact it was significantly cheaper to buy steamed lobster at one of the rest stops we visited on the way up to Bar Harbor. That and because there were so many people and only about 5 steamers service was sloooowww. We were gnawing at our arms by the time the food arrived over an hour later. That being said you cannot beat the location and atmosphere of this place – I don’t think there’s many other options for eating on a deck over the water in Bar Harbor.  Tip: If you plan on eating outside by the water in the evening, bring a coat. It was freezing cold and there were no heat lamps outside.

Mt. Desert Island Ice Cream / $ // Ice cream in Bar Harbor seems like a summer institution in Maine, and we were happy to oblige. This awesome little ice cream shop(s) stood out from the sea of other ice cream shops because of its original flavors and use of organic milk and cream. You can really taste the difference — the ice cream itself is homemade and delicious. I wish we could have tried every single flavor.

    Yessss! I actually said “JACKPOT!” when I saw you had your Acadia posts up! I’ve been anxiously awaiting your take on Maine and was hoping you’d write about it before we go on our trip next month (but didn’t want to nag you!) Also, meant to comment on your Alaska posts a few weeks ago – love them! (And gives me encouragement to dust off the ol’ blog and share all the forgotten pictures from past trips we’ve taken…)

    Hahaha! Oh I have a ton of backlogged travels/photos to blog about yet — figured I should start somewhere even if it meant jumping around from trips from years ago to more recent ones. Hopefully, I’ll have the Acadia posts wrapped up in the next week (too many pix = dragged out posts).

    You should definitely dust off your old blog! I’ve missed reading it and I want to hear about your trip to Grand Teton!

Home Cookin’ | Texas Edition

Is there anything better than Mom’s home cooking? I don’t think so. Whenever we are home in Texas, my mom plans the most elaborate ten-course meals where everything is made from scratch. We have breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, dessert and second dinner (because the thought of the leftovers sitting in the fridge is usually too tempting to resist).
home houston home cooking home houston home cooking

Our trips usually involve at least one trip to the Asian market, where my mom will take her time picking the best of everything: the freshest, largest shrimp, the plumpest, juiciest fruits. I usually grow impatient and run off to the “goodies” aisle to select some Vietnamese snacks (as if I needed to add to the already bulging cart of food).

On our visit to the Asian market this trip, Sly asked my mom about the Vietnamese savory buns (banh bao) he saw at the checkout counter. The next day, my mom made them for him. From scratch. They were hands down the best banh baos ever, although I still have a special fondness for the version my mom used to make when we were kids with butter-flavored Pilsbury dough.

home houston home cooking home houston home cooking home

Sly and I aren’t originally from Texas, but we both grew up and have a lot of food memories there: Rudy’s, Taco Cabana, Whataburger, Luby’s, Shipleys… However, when you have a mom that cooks such amazing food, it feels like cheating to go out and eat somewhere else.

We did manage to convince my mom to ‘take a night off’ on her birthday and try out a bbq place we had never tried (a place my mom found out about by watching the Food Network). Of course we ordered an insane amount of food — more than enough for a group three times as large as ours. And of course we had to have peach cobbler for dessert.

Going home is always a bit bittersweet. There is a sense of disorientation being an adult occupying a space that I remember as a child. Over time, things and people change, are moved, are lost, are replaced, but I can always count on my mom’s cooking.

(pate chaud recipe below)

I remember back in high school when my friends thought it was weird that our family still sat at the table together like some 1950s family and shared all our meals. Maybe we were just lucky to grow up in a family that loved to eat and cook (although Dad’s shriveled brisket was really pushing it). I think it’s more than that. Food has always been a way for us to communicate with each other, a way to create memories, and a way to express our love.

how many dreams were launched from this very window?

Ok, now my mouth is watering.

Mom’s Pate Chaud

(Makes 6 big, round or 12 small round or rectangle cakes)

2 Puff pastry packages
1/4 lb pork or chicken
1 small onion, diced
1 T oyster sauce
2 T pork paté- Farmer John-Braunschweiger
2 t sugar
1 t white pepper
1 T cognac or cooking wine
1T fish sauce
1/4 t salt
¼ C black mushrooms, sliced (soak in warm water if dried)
½ C peas (optional)
2 egg yolks lightly mixed w/1 T water
1 egg white, whisk w. a fork (for sealing the pouches – not needed if crimping shut)

Thaw the pastry in the fridge ‘til firm, not soft. Or thaw at room temp. for 30 mins. It
won’t rise if it’s handled too much or too long, too soft.

Combine the filling ingredients. Line parchment paper on baking sheet
Open the pastry sheet carefully so it won’t break. Flour both sides of the pastry and the
board. Using a cutter to cut the pastry into 3 or 4” circles.

Place the filling in the center of each circle. Place another pastry circle on top of the
filling. Use a cup w. a smaller diameter than the pastry circle to press down the dough.
Preheat oven to 400 F

Brush the top of the pastry with the egg yolk.

Finally, poke a tiny slit at the top to allow steam to release and the puff pastry to rise.
Bake, 350 F for 30 mins. or until golden brown. Use the lower third oven rack!

  • veronika
    October 11, 2012 at 10:27 am

    If you don’t have a full-frame camera, you may want to try a 35mm focal length, or a 50mm made for the crop frame sensor. When I use my crop frame, that’s my “walkaround lens.” The 50mm is almost too zoomed on that body.

    I think I have just a plain ol’ UV filter on my 50mm. Actually, no I just checked, i don’t have a filter on the 50 (should prob get one huh?) I guess I don’t really use anything beyond UV filters though I have a polarizing filter which I think is just ok in terms of results. I want to start playing around with ND filters though for landscapes.

    My mom’s cooking does not inspire much nostalgia. She does many things quite well, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized exactly where all my picky eating habits came from. I was berated as a child for not eating lobster (in favor of hot dogs), but my mother refuses to even try many things that I have come to love, including sushi, mussels, really any kind of Asian or African cuisine. My old man even turns up his nose at yogurt! Yogurt!

    The thing I took from her cooking was the basics… we were pretty poor, growing up, so a lot of food was ad-hoc, based on what was in the fridge. I have, however, managed to expand on and improve many of those old recipes. My scalloped potatoes and meatloaf are quite amazing.

    That said, YOUR mom’s cooking looks quite amazing.

    Some of our favorite food memories came from my dad’s days of living single and in the army. Even though my mom is an amazing cook, my dad did most of the cooking growing up — a mix of German, 1950s classics, and weird army crap. Some of my fave meals are scalloped potatoes (hand-sliced potatoes cooked in the microwave with butter, salt and pepper), S.O.S. (hamburger with cream of mushroom soup served on burnt toast), and liverwurst and cheese sandwiches.

UAPD question 'persons of interest' in rape case

University police told 40/29 News they have located and questioned two persons of interest after a rape was reported on university owned land near Nonnomaker Road - a different area than originally reported by police.

Tuesday night, UAPD alerted students that a rape was reported occurred off campus in the wooded area south of Indian Trail.

Police said the victim is not from the area, and was confused about her location.

Capt. Gary Crain said officers determined the rape happened in a wooded area near an unnamed dirt road by Nonnamaker Drive in Fayetteville which is also an area where homeless are known to gather.

Crain described one of the suspects as a 50-year-old man, 6’0”  and 170 pounds wearing a red shirt and dark pants.

The second suspect is a 60-year-old man wearing a red shirt and grey pants.

Both were reported to be intoxicated and carrying pocket knives and razorblades, according to police.

A Razor Alert was sent to students Tuesday night. But police said no students were involved.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation in ongoing, Crain said.

My mom lives a mere 40 minutes from me, so we have dinner every 2 weeks or so. Like many gene-sharing people, we often have difficulty communicating. Throw in an extra language, and it's double the trouble. Mom called me the night before our dinner to ask that I bring "2 pies." I couldn't understand why 4 people needed so much dessert. Between her repeated proclamations that it was "only 2 pies!" And moments away from a fight I realized she was saying "vegetable side dish" in Chinese, which just happened to sound like "pie." As tension dissolved into laughter, we settled on a compromise of 1 vegetable dish and 1 pie.

Now, "what to bring?" was the question left on my mind.
Fresh, succulent summer fruit and cream came the immediate answer (yes, I talk to myself ^_^). Hardly what pops up when most people think of "comfort food." But waist-deep in the middle of a sticky D.C. summer, that's exactly what this magical and refreshing duo is for me. And since we'd already swapped veggies for pastry, I figured no one would pick the nit between tart and pie. Fortunately for my figure, the "cream" in the latest evolution of this pairing turns out to be rich yet low-in-fat Greek yogurt and light sour cream. What's more, 3 varieties of nuts bring complex texture and flavor to the crust, but also heart-healthy unsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber. What's not to love? And let me assure you that 1 measly tart was more than enough for 4 diners, including seconds. 8p

Berry Tart with Mixed Nut Crust

Fresh Berry Tart with Toasted Nut Crust [Printable Recipe]
Slightly adapted from Vegetarian Times
Serves 8

XIAOLU'S NOTES: I loved this combination of nuts, but feel free to substitute other nuts for 1 or all of the types in the recipe. Buy 1 orange for this recipe and you'll have more than enough zest and juice. If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can make a substitute from a cup of regular yogurt by draining it over a strainer lined with cheesecloth/paper towel/coffee filter for several hours. Make sure to measure the 1/2 cup for the recipe after you drain the yogurt. I always "make" my own brown sugar using white sugar and molasses, about 1 1/2 T molasses per cup of white sugar. That's one less ingredient in my overcrowded [as in, constantly on the verge of avalanche] pantry, and no problems with hardened old brown sugar.

1/4 cup each almonds, pecans, and hazelnuts
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
6 T cold unsalted butter, diced
1 large egg yolk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 9-inch tart pan with cooking spray or a flavorless vegetable oil. Spread nuts on baking sheet, and toast in oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until browned.

Pulse nuts, flour, sugar, and salt in food processor until nuts are ground to powder. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg yolk, and pulse until moist clumps form.

Press dough into bottom and sides of prepared pan, about 1/4-inch thick, and pierce with fork. [If the dough is too soft to press, freeze it at 5 minute intervals until it's easier to handle. I pressed the dough with a floured juice glass.] Freeze crust for 30 minutes.

Adjust oven temperature to 400°F. Bake crust 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden. Let cool.

1/2 cup light or regular sour cream
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 to 3 T light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp grated orange zest
1 1/2 to 2 cups blueberries
1 cup raspberries
1 T orange juice

Whisk together sour cream, yogurt, brown sugar, vanilla, and orange zest in small bowl. Toss berries with orange juice in separate bowl.

Spread sour cream mixture in crust with spatula. Spoon berries over top a little at a time, until sour cream mixture is evenly covered.

Refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes before serving.

  1. LOL. That story is hilarious. Do you speak Mandarin or Cantonese or another language? (I was trying to think of a vegetable side dish in Mandarin that sounds like "pie," but coming up empty...)

    The tart definitely looks succulent and totally yum. The combination of sour cream and Greek yogurt in the tart is intriguing--does it soften the tart crust any, or is the Greek yogurt thick enough to prevent that?

  2. Oouuu!

    Your pie is almost guilt-free and so wholesome! And i love love the colours :)

    Like Steph, i actually tried both Cantonese and Mandarin for vegetable side dish, but nothing sounds like 'pie'!

  3. Once my officemate said that "snakes" were popular in Taiwan - I thought that was a bit strange until I realized he meant "snacks"! But that pie - in whatever language - would surely taste great!

  4. How lovely! I'm sure the berries and Greek yoghurt will help you cool down in humid D.C.!

  5. Your tart looks lovely and the pie crust seems very interesting.I have to try this instead of my regular recipe :-)

  6. I often have ridiculous conversations like this with my mother and we don't even HAVE a language barrier! The tart looks absolutely delicious though...and I love that it uses Greek yogurt instead of CREAM. Oh how tasty!

  7. yum yum...the tart looks so summery, so fresh and delicious!

  8. I love the yogurt filling! Much lighter and refreshing

  9. Yum! Wish I had a slice now! Funny with mom!

  10. Steph & maameemoomoo - Thanks for your comments! We speak Mandarin and she was saying "cai" (4th tone). The connection was pretty bad on her side or it wouldn't have sounded so similar :). We had to drive the tart in 100+ weather 45 minutes to my mom's place so the crust did soften up. I think it wouldn't have happened if kept refrigerated. The photo on the website with the original recipe shows them slicing it and the crust looks fairly firm.

    Trissa - haha I wouldn't be surprised if snakes were too considering how many thing are eaten over there that we're not used to (dogs, for example).

    Danielle - thanks and they sure did.

    Brittany - glad you like it :).

    Joanna - please do and let me know how you like it!

    Joanne - haha yea it may just be an international mother-daughter communication gap.

    Angie - thx!

    Anh - :)

    Pam - I'd totally share if you were closer.

  11. Oh my gosh, that is absolutely hilarious!! 2 pies!!

    This pie looks sooo yummy!

  12. I'm loving the whole wheat nut crust!! Oh how I wish we could get Greek yogurt here... well I have seen it but it's 8-10% fat, not exactly what I'm looking for!

  13. my mother and i seem to have difficulty communicating as well, and we don't have the excuse of a language barrier! mostly i think what she says has a tendency to pass in one of my ears and right out the other. :)
    gorgeous and tasty tart--i'd gladly take two. :)

  14. That is an absolutely stunning pie
    And I am right with you on the whole mother-daughter thing, sometimes I wonder how it's possible we can share 50% of our DNA and yet completely not get each other at all...

  15. Such a colourful berry tart!! Very summery!

  16. This is so timely! I just tried a tart with a nut crust and it was gorgeous-and now I see this recipe! Thankyou! :)

  17. Simply gorgeous! Those raspberries on top practically sparkle... Excellent lighting for another stunning photo. Definitely looks good enough to eat. :)

  18. A splendid tart! So beautiful and divine looking. A perfect summer treat!

  19. Oh! This fruit tart looks so yummie...and love the idea of mix nuts in the crust...must taste so YUMMIE :-)

  20. oh my, I love the generous berries you used, the tart is so beautiful. and lol about the miscommunication, you two are so cute :)

  21. I love the last picture. The colour! Anyway, do you still have a slice of that pie for me?:-P

  22. My mother and I have lots of communication issues and we speak the same language. Ha! Your pie looks great! And, the crust? PERFECTION! xoxo

  23. Hilarious post! And now you've got me wishing I lived 40mins away from you, just to get my hands on this tart :P

  24. Koko - glad my story made you laugh!

    eatme_delicious - oh bummer about the Greek yogurt. hope you can find a healthier version soon or just strain regular yogurt as my notes say.

    grace - hehe, I'm sure I blame the problem on the language problem more often than is true. my ears seem pretty leaky too ;).

    Chanel11 - well I have thought I was adopted a few times hehe.

    mycookinghut - yes, the taste is so summery, too!

    Lorraine - glad you enjoy the nut crust too. i like a crust with flavor of its own.

    Hannah - thanks! I think this can be veganized fairly easily too, especially with your culinary skills.

    Rosa - you're very sweet.

    Juliana - it is quite yummy. you should try it!

    Ellie - gracias!

    noobcook - hehe we can be cute when we're not snapping at each other. we're like sisters.

    Indonesia-Eats - aw thanks. i'm fresh out but i'll make another if you're gonna drop by.

    redmenace - glad you like it.

    ovenhaven - hehe trust me, i'd happily send baked goods your way if you were close enough.

I love hearing from you all! Please leave me a message if you have questions, advice, or just to let me know you stopped by. Your feedback is always very much appreciated. Thanks! <3 Xiaolu

The Morning Benders on Stonehenge, Love Songs and the Best of Noise Pop

These Berkeley-based California natives have been making splashes in the indie pool since “the very beginning,” which, according to them, is "somewhere around 2006, 2007."  (With a band named "Morning Benders," memory lapses are acceptable).   They've toured with the likes of Ra Ra Riot, Yo La Tengo, Death Cab For Cutie, The Kooks, MGMT, Two Gallants and We Are Scientists, and now are one of the most anticipated Noise Pop performances - playing this Friday at Slim's.  Despite all the fame and fortune, The Morning Benders took some time out with us to answer some very important questions:

What’s your favorite track on Talking Through Tin Cans?
I think my favorite track on that one is “when we're apart.” We did it last minute and in one take. We didn't think it would be on the album, and then we realized it was the perfect last track. I like when it happens like that...

Any pre-show band traditions?
We like to bow to each other and a lot of the time we'll give a "thank you, earth" prayer.

Do you ever get sick of writing forlorn love songs?
Not really. I love “love songs,” but I think you may hear some stranger subject material from us soon, if that's what you're wondering...

What do you think of NoisePop this year? Who would you forgo playing your show to go see?

I actually think this year is a damn good lineup. It’s better than the last couple years even. I really wish we could see Deerhunter, but we'll be on tour. I'd also love to see Ra Ra Riot and Cut Off Your Hands. We toured
with both those bands, and they are both RADICAL. Damnit! I’m bumming myself out thinking about missing those shows. Damn.

What’s the best venue in the world to play at? Have you played there yet?
Stonehenge and yes we have.

You live here. What’s the best part of the Bay Area and if you could change one thing what would it be?
I love Berkeley. It's got great food, an Amoeba, and you can walk 5 minutes and be out in the middle of nowhere in the Berkeley Hills. Ahhh, the trees. If I could change one thing about the Bay Area it would be to
move it closer to New York. I love that place! Together we could rule the world!!

Well you heard it from them. From Stonehenge straight to the stage at Slim’s. The Morning Benders will be there on Friday night bringing a fresh, youthful perspective to the typical shoe-gazer crowd at Noise Pop. We can hardly wait. See you at the show.

Pierre D’Avoine & Colette Sheddick

Client Style

Series: Evening Lecture
Date: Monday 21 November 2016
Time: 18:30
Venue: AA Lecture Hall
Running time: 80 mins

What does the practice of architecture entail, how is it authored, and later performed? Bruce Goff when asked what style his houses were replied that they were Client Style. His response may have been a disingenuous off-the-cuff remark or perhaps truly accurate in that all buildings, especially houses designed for a particular client are a reflection of their personality, albeit melded with that of the architect. It is this complex and ambiguous relationship between the client and the architect that we wish to explore in our joint lecture using examples of our work together and apart to illustrate it. At what point does the architect let go of the project and client take possession? How is this transfer negotiated? There are issues of control in the way the house is fitted out (dressed) and even occupied that exposes the suggestion/coercion in the design and the will of the client to resist or yield up to the project. Are they joint authors in a project that relies upon performance for its affirmation and success?

Pierre D’Avoine was born in Bombay, India. He now lives and practices architecture in London. He published Housey Housey: A Pattern Book of Ideal Homes with Clare Melhuish in 2005. He was guest professor at Welsh School of Architecture, 2002-09 and at RDAFA, Copenhagen, 2009-12. He taught at the AA between 1995 and 2002 and now teaches Unit 14 at the CASS with Colette Sheddick.

Colette Sheddick BSc [hons] DipArch studied architecture at The Bartlett, UCL, and London Metropolitan University [CASS] and started her eponymous practice in 2012. She teaches Diploma 14 with Pierre d’Avoine at The CASS, and is a Design Fellow and BA Studio Master at Cambridge University.

PawSox Open Homestand by Blanking the RailRiders - ABC6 - Providence, RI and New Bedford, MA News, Weather

PawSox Open Homestand by Blanking the RailRiders

Posted: Updated:

PawSox news release...

PAWTUCKET, R.I. — Pawtucket Red Sox starter Héctor Velázquez continued his brilliant start to the season, as the PawSox clipped the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, 3-0, in the opener of a three-game set Monday night at McCoy Stadium.

Pawtucket (14-13) scored two runs in the fourth and another in the fifth, while limiting the RailRiders (15-13) to just five hits. The PawSox have now won five of their last six games and have only given up 14 runs in the last nine games.

After tossing six perfect innings in his last start, Velázquez (W, 2-0) added 6.1 innings of shutout ball. He allowed three hits, walked two, fanned four and extended his streak of consecutive scoreless innings to 17.1, lowering his ERA to 1.23. Velázquez yielded a one-out single in the third, the first baserunner against him in a span of 9.0 innings. His last three starts have all ended in shutout victories.

“He’s got pitchability. He knows who he is,” Pawtucket manager Kevin Boles said. “He’s able to command a variety of pitches. He does a great job. I love how he keeps the hitters uncomfortable. He sets up inside. He was moving feet around, moving hips around, pitching inside early on, made them conscious of the inner half of the plate and then just utilized his mix from there.”

PawSox first baseman Sam Travis (2-for-4, 2B, HR, RBI) recorded his seventh multi-hit effort of the season and has now hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games.

“I think he’s managing the strike zone a lot better,” Boles said. “He’s got better balance. I think he’s not trying to do too much. He was trying to create some numbers early on in the season. I think he was trying to get off to a good start, and he was expanding his zone early on. But now he’s working to all fields.”

In the second leg of his rehab assignment with Pawtucket, designated hitter Brock Holt (vertigo) slotted third in the order and went 0-for-4.

Pawtucket relievers Brandon Workman (1.1 IP) and Blaine Boyer (S, 2) capped off the shutout — the team’s fifth of the season.

RailRiders starter Daniel Camarena (L, 3-1) allowed three runs on six hits and a pair of walks over six frames.

The PawSox broke the scoring seal in the fourth. Travis led off the frame by smacking an opposite-field home run just inside the right-field foul pole — his second long ball of the season. Two batters later, third baseman Matt Dominguez made it 2-0 with a solo blast to right field, as well.

In the fifth, with a man at second and two outs, left fielder Steve Selsky mashed a wall-ball RBI double through the wind to extend the lead to 3-0.

The RailRiders loaded the bases in the top of the sixth, but Travis snared a line drive to start an unassisted double play, end the threat and keep Scranton/Wilkes-Barre off the scoreboard.

Boyer collected three strikeouts in securing the victory.

The PawSox continue their seven-game homestand at McCoy Stadium on Tuesday at 6:05 p.m. Pawtucket left-hander Brian Johnson (1-0, 2.28) is scheduled to oppose RailRiders righty Brady Lail (1-2, 6.51).

CIT Provides $33.3MM Financing to Spirit Bascom Ventures

CIT Real Estate Finance said it provided a $33.3 million senior secured loan to Spirit Bascom Ventures, a joint venture between New York-based Spirit Investment Partners and the Irvine, CA-based Bascom Group. The facility was used to acquire two five-story buildings containing 136 multi-family units above more than 28,000 square feet of office space known as Jefferson at 55/77 Water in South Norwalk (SONO), CT. Financing was provided by CIT Bank. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“This is a significant portfolio acquisition for Spirit Bascom Ventures in the SONO neighborhood of Connecticut,” said Meggan Walsh, managing director and deputy group head of CIT Real Estate Finance. “The mixed use properties are a short walk to a growing and vibrant retail and restaurant district, as well as an MTA station that provides easy access to Manhattan. Our ability to finance this transaction, coupled with our local market expertise, allows Spirit to grow their portfolio.”

Scott Zwilling, a principal with Spirit Investment Partners, said, “Traditionally we’ve focused on acquiring distressed and value added multifamily assets across the country, however Jefferson at 55/77 Water presented us an incredible Connecticut real estate opportunity to acquire a Class A asset. By partnering with CIT, we were able to tap their deep industry knowledge and expertise to close this transaction quickly and efficiently.”

Protein Information
Name FMR1 (HGNC:3775)
Function Multifunctional polyribosome-associated RNA-binding protein that plays a central role in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity through the regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, mRNA stability, mRNA dendritic transport and postsynaptic local protein synthesis of a subset of mRNAs (PubMed:16631377, PubMed:18653529, PubMed:19166269, PubMed:23235829, PubMed:25464849). Plays a role in the alternative splicing of its own mRNA (PubMed:18653529). Plays a role in mRNA nuclear export (By similarity). Together with export factor NXF2, is involved in the regulation of the NXF1 mRNA stability in neurons (By similarity). Stabilizes the scaffolding postsynaptic density protein DLG4/PSD-95 and the myelin basic protein (MBP) mRNAs in hippocampal neurons and glial cells, respectively; this stabilization is further increased in response to metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) stimulation (By similarity). Plays a role in selective delivery of a subset of dendritic mRNAs to synaptic sites in response to mGluR activation in a kinesin- dependent manner (By similarity). Plays a role as a repressor of mRNA translation during the transport of dendritic mRNAs to postnyaptic dendritic spines (PubMed:11532944, PubMed:11157796, PubMed:12594214, PubMed:23235829). Component of the CYFIP1-EIF4E- FMR1 complex which blocks cap-dependent mRNA translation initiation (By similarity). Represses mRNA translation by stalling ribosomal translocation during elongation (By similarity). Reports are contradictory with regards to its ability to mediate translation inhibition of MBP mRNA in oligodendrocytes (PubMed:23891804). Also involved in the recruitment of the RNA helicase MOV10 to a subset of mRNAs and hence regulates microRNA (miRNA)-mediated translational repression by AGO2 (PubMed:14703574, PubMed:17057366, PubMed:25464849). Facilitates the assembly of miRNAs on specific target mRNAs (PubMed:17057366). Plays also a role as an activator of mRNA translation of a subset of dendritic mRNAs at synapses (PubMed:19097999, PubMed:19166269). In response to mGluR stimulation, FMR1-target mRNAs are rapidly derepressed, allowing for local translation at synapses (By similarity). Binds to a large subset of dendritic mRNAs that encode a myriad of proteins involved in pre- and postsynaptic functions (PubMed:7692601, PubMed:11719189, PubMed:11157796, PubMed:12594214, PubMed:17417632, PubMed:23235829, PubMed:24448548). Binds to 5'-ACU[GU]-3' and/or 5'-[AU]GGA-3' RNA consensus sequences within mRNA targets, mainly at coding sequence (CDS) and 3'-untranslated region (UTR) and less frequently at 5'- UTR (PubMed:23235829). Binds to intramolecular G-quadruplex structures in the 5'- or 3'-UTRs of mRNA targets (PubMed:11719189, PubMed:18579868, PubMed:25464849, PubMed:25692235). Binds to G- quadruplex structures in the 3'-UTR of its own mRNA (PubMed:7692601, PubMed:11532944, PubMed:12594214, PubMed:15282548, PubMed:18653529). Binds also to RNA ligands harboring a kissing complex (kc) structure; this binding may mediate the association of FMR1 with polyribosomes (PubMed:15805463). Binds mRNAs containing U-rich target sequences (PubMed:12927206). Binds to a triple stem-loop RNA structure, called Sod1 stem loop interacting with FMRP (SoSLIP), in the 5'- UTR region of superoxide dismutase SOD1 mRNA (PubMed:19166269). Binds to the dendritic, small non-coding brain cytoplasmic RNA 1 (BC1); which may increase the association of the CYFIP1-EIF4E-FMR1 complex to FMR1 target mRNAs at synapses (By similarity). Associates with export factor NXF1 mRNA-containing ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) in a NXF2-dependent manner (By similarity). Binds to a subset of miRNAs in the brain (PubMed:14703574, PubMed:17057366). May associate with nascent transcripts in a nuclear protein NXF1-dependent manner (PubMed:18936162). In vitro, binds to RNA homopolymer; preferentially on poly(G) and to a lesser extent on poly(U), but not on poly(A) or poly(C) (PubMed:7688265, PubMed:7781595, PubMed:12950170, PubMed:15381419, PubMed:8156595). Moreover, plays a role in the modulation of the sodium-activated potassium channel KCNT1 gating activity (PubMed:20512134). Negatively regulates the voltage-dependent calcium channel current density in soma and presynaptic terminals of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, and hence regulates synaptic vesicle exocytosis (By similarity). Modulates the voltage-dependent calcium channel CACNA1B expression at the plasma membrane by targeting the channels for proteosomal degradation (By similarity). Plays a role in regulation of MAP1B- dependent microtubule dynamics during neuronal development (By similarity). Recently, has been shown to play a translation- independent role in the modulation of presynaptic action potential (AP) duration and neurotransmitter release via large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels in hippocampal and cortical excitatory neurons (PubMed:25561520). Finally, FMR1 may be involved in the control of DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms through the regulation of ATR-dependent signaling pathways such as histone H2AFX/H2A.x and BRCA1 phosphorylations (PubMed:24813610).

Localizes on meiotic pachytene- stage chromosomes (By similarity). Forms nuclear foci representing sites of ongoing DNA replication in response to DNA damaging agents (By similarity). Shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm in a XPO1/CRM1-dependent manner (PubMed:10196376). Localizes to cytoplasmic granules, also referred to as messenger ribonucleoprotein particles or mRNPs, along dendrites and dendritic spines (PubMed:9659908, PubMed:14532325). FMR1- containing cytoplasmic granules colocalize to F-actin-rich structures, including filopodium, spines and growth cone during the development of hippocampal neurons (By similarity). FMR1- containing cytoplasmic granules are transported out of the soma along axon and dendrite to synaptic contacts in a microtubule- and kinesin-dependent manner (PubMed:12417734, PubMed:15380484) Colocalizes with CACNA1B in the cytoplasm and at the cell membrane of neurons (By similarity).

The protein encoded by this gene binds RNA and is associated with polysomes. The encoded protein may be involved in mRNA trafficking from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. A trinucleotide repeat (CGG) in the 5' UTR is normally found at 6-53 copies, but an expansion to 55-230 repeats is the cause of fragile X syndrome. Expansion of the trinucleotide repeat may also cause one form of premature ovarian failure (POF1). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms and which are located in different cellular locations have been described for this gene.
