This objective and candid profile of President Lyndon b. Johnson attempts to define LBJ with respect to the personal and political influences that have affected his career in government. To document this frank portrait, NET cameras go from President Johnson's hometown of Johnson City, Texas, to Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC, where intimate friends, neighbors, and colleagues give their impressions of Lyndon B. Johnson as a youth, a college student, a congressional leader, a business partner, a politician, and as president. The program's profile includes never-before televised excerpts and documents President Johnson's speeches in his early political days; a visit to the LBJ Ranch - including various rooms inside the President's home as well as the surrounding property; and a visit to President Johnson's alma mater, Southwest Texas State Teachers College. Among those who reminisce and talk about President Johnson are: William Deason, a college roommate of President Johnson at southwest Texas State Teachers College, who now operates a radio station in Austin, Texas. Mr. Deason tells of President Johnson's activities in campus elections. Richard "Cactus" Pryor, intimate friend of President Johnson and program manager of the Johnson-owned KTBC radio station in Austin, Texas. Mr. Pryor, who has been in charge of entertainment of guests at the LBJ Ranch on many occasions, recalls what happened at the Ranch just before President Kennedy was assassinated. Dean Alfred Noelle of Southwest Texas State Teachers College, who knew President Johnson in his college years and advised him throughout that time. Ronnie Dugger, editor of the Texas Observer in Austin, Texas, who has written many articles for the New York Times and St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Ernest and Marie Hodges, neighbors of President Johnson, with whom the President owns farming equipment. Bill Brammer of Austin, Texas, former aide to Mr. Johnson. Mr. Brammer is the author of the controversial book, "The Gay Place," a novel that purports to have President Johnson as its main character. US Representative Wright Patman (D-Texas), who knew President Johnson when he was a youth. The Congressman recalls how President Johnson used to hang around the state legislature and watch his father, Sam Ealy Johnson, Jr., when the assembly convened.

Montreal's Family-Friendly Parks
by Barbara Rogers
Stillman Rogers
A World Expo in 1967 and the Summer Olympics in 1976 left Montreal with two beautiful parks, one on an island in the St. Lawrence River built expressly for the expo, and the other atop a hill overlooking the city. Montreal has put both to good use in the years since, as parks for outdoor activities, sports and beautiful gardens. Between those and the riverbank parks in the city center, there is plenty of space for kids to run, and enough activities to keep families entertained.
The Olympic Stadium that housed the swimming and other indoor events has a huge slanted tower that supports the roof. The roof, shaped like a circus tent, was designed to be lifted off by big cables. This is the world's largest inclined tower, and you can ride to its top in a cable car for a spectacular view over the city.
From Montreal's combined French and British heritage comes the city's love of flowers. In spring, summer and fall, parks and gardens all over the city are covered with bright blossoms. But none match the spectacular displays at the185-acre Jardin Botanique (Botanic Garden). There are 30 separate outdoor gardens with more than 26,000 species of plants. The Chinese Garden is the largest outside of China, with a pool, pagodas and pavilions, as well as a Moon Garden. Beside it, the Japanese Garden has the largest collection of miniature bonsai trees outside of Asia. Both gardens are like exotic fantasylands for kids.

Ten exhibition greenhouses replicate a wide range of climates and contain a tropical rainforest and collections of orchids. Each season has its special exhibits. Near Halloween, mysterious tombstones appear among the cactus, giant paper bats may fly overhead and school children bring their most fantastic jack-o-lanterns to display. At Christmas one large greenhouse is turned into a holiday fantasy world of plants.
After the close of Expo '67, Île Sainte-Hélène and the artificial island of Notre-Dame became Parc Jean Drapeau and the site of a number of family attractions. The Biosphere, the world's largest spherical building, is now a museum dedicated to the environment. La Ronde Amusement Park is the largest in the province of Quebec, with more than 40 rides and attractions. The sandy swimming beach has rentals for kayaks, canoes and pedal boats to use in the quiet waters of the island's lake. Parc Jean Drapeau is only five minutes from downtown and you can get there on the Montreal Metro.
The St. Lawrence gives Montreal a wide "front yard." Along the river by Old Montreal is a wide promenade, a green park with sidewalks and benches where people sit to watch the boats on the river. This waterfront is always a good place to find activity. Thrill-seekers can take Jetboat rides over the Lachine Rapids, and other boats cruise up and down the river. Nearby is the dock where ferry boats leave to cross the river or go to Île Sainte-Helene; it's fun to take the ferry over and back just for the ride.
The waterfront also has an IMAX theater, with movies on a huge wraparound screen seven stories tall. In Parc Bassin Bonsecours, on the river by the Bonsecours Market, children and adults often fly kites and in the winter there's an outdoor skating rink.
At the other end of the city, the 8.5-mile Lachine Canal was built in 1825 as a way of getting around the Lachine Rapids, and now forms part of a park. You can take a cruise on a canal boat, ride on the bike path that follows the canal, or pick up provisions at the colorful Atwater Market and enjoy a picnic in the park.

We bought a Waeco freezer box for our trip to Spin. This is the CFX-40 model which has a capacity of 38 liters and will run on 240v and 12v. The unit comes with the inverter supply built in so you only need to buy the freezer.
When powered on 12v you have a choice of 3 setting for the battery monitoring which will shut down the freezer if the battery supply goes to low. This is a good feature as it protects the batteries from under voltage. Another very good feature is its ability to switch from 12v to 240v when you plug your van in. So if you keep it connected to both supplies you won't have to worry about switching between the two.
The freezer is designed to go down to -21 and you have the ability to set the temperature to what you want. It is a compressor fridge/freezer so unlike the motorhome fridges which work on conduction these freezers will work well in outside temperatures over 30 deg. So if you only want to use it as a fridge you can set it to about 1 deg. However if you wanted a freezer you can drop the temperature to -18 deg.
We found that it does take a while at least 24hours to freeze items at first. But I expect this is normal with most freezers. You are best to pack the freezer out with water bottles or freezer packs as this makes it more efficient to stay frozen.
The unit seems very robust, it has a good solid lid with very strong hinges so hopefully should last a long time. It weighs about 18 kg so not a light item and when full with food will require a two person lift. But it does have excellent side handles for this.
On our trip to Spain was were on board the ferry for 2 nights and I did not want to have this freezer running on the leisure batteries all this time in case it drained the power on them. From reviews this should not be a problem running all this time as the power consumption is very low at 45 Watts and it does have the battery monitoring feature but still I did not want to take the risk. So we packed it full at home with food and water bottles then run it at home so all the contents where frozen. When we arrived in Spain we checked the contents and all was still frozen, so very impressed with its abilities to keep items frozen when switched off for a about 35 hours.
We had the freezer running inside the van for our 2 weeks holiday in Spain. I was at first worried about the noise and waking us up at night with the compressor switching on and off. But thankfully this did not happen. It is a very quiet freezer and you do not notice it running in the background. We were also in the peak of summer with van temperatures reaching 37 deg and the freezer worked wonderfully. All the food stayed frozen and we even started swapping freezer packs over with the van fridge due to the van fridge struggling again to get to fridge temperatures. It also has a top shelf which keeps very cold when set to -18 but not fully freezing, this is a great place to store your butter and milk.
This was not a cheap buy and I can understand people thinking this is overpriced for a van freezer. But after two weeks in Spin I can honestly say this is one of the best accessories I have bought for this van. It outperforms any evaporation fridge fitted to motorhomes and to top all this off it comes with a 2 year warranty.

Seattle Bus Restructure Takes Effect, And an Ode to the 70-Series →
University Link Opens To Great Fanfare
Posted on March 21, 2016 by Scott Bonjukian
Twenty years ago, when voters first approved Sound Move, the idea of rapid rail transit in Seattle was only a fuzzy concept. It was something that had been declined by 1960s voters and only the oldest residents might have recalled the city once had a sprawling network of streetcars. But finally, in 2009, the central portion of Link light rail opened between Downtown and the airport and opened up a new realm of transportation. Seattle's transit world grew again with the next two stations that opened Saturday.
Sound Transit's purpose is to provide mass transit connections between the central Puget Sound's urban centers. It originated out of the 1996 Sound Move ballot measure approved by voters in the urbanized areas of King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. The measure was a $3.9 billion transit package, including $1.7 billion for a 25 mile light rail system, that also funded intercity express bus lines, the Sounder commuter rail service between Everett and Lakewood, and the Tacoma streetcar. The measure also funded infrastructure like HOV lanes, transit centers, and park-and-rides.
As part of this package Central Link was originally supposed to reach the University District. However, in the late 1990s Sound Transit's ambitions exceeded its fiscal realities and federal grants dried up. The agency came under fire for its poor planning and financial mismanagement. New leadership in the early 2000s achieved a clean audit and the agency was awarded federal funding for Central Link, but by then the line couldn't be extended to its original terminus and ended in central Downtown Seattle. A stop in First Hill was also cut, resulting in Sound Transit funding the First Hill streetcar to connect that neighborhood with other light rail stops.
By the end of 2009 the 15 mile Central line was operating between SeaTac airport and Westlake Station. Stops in-between include Tukwila, the Rainer Valley in southern Seattle, Beacon Hill, Sodo, and three other stops in the core of Downtown. Average weekday passenger counts have increased year over year, peaking above 40,000 last year.

University Link is a northward 3.15 mile underground extension of the original line using twin-bored tunnels. At their deepest point beneath Volunteer Park the tunnels are 300 feet below ground. Sound Transit says the $1.9 billion project was completed six months ahead of schedule, $200 million under budget, and without any major construction injuries. The addition of the two stations is expected to add 71,000 average weekday riders to the system by 2030.
University of Washington (UW) Station
The University Link extension nearly fulfills the original vision to reach the U-District. The neighborhood hosts 45,000 students at the University of Washington's main Seattle campus. Link's new northern terminus, UW Station, is on the southernmost edge of the campus next to Husky Stadium and the monolithic UW Medical Center. As part of the next project, called Northgate Link, an actual U-District station at the corner of Brooklyn Avenue and NE 43rd Street is currently under construction and planned for opening in 2021, along with stations in the Roosevelt neighborhood at NE 65th Street and at the Northgate Mall at NE 103rd Street.

UW Station is poorly located. Husky Stadium hosts only six home football games per year, and the station itself is surrounded by a massive asphalt parking lot and six lanes of pedestrian-hostile Montlake Boulevard. The station is essentially a compromise between a location in the heart of the campus proper, which short-sighted university officials opposed, and the Montlake Freeway Station at SR-520 that provides access to Eastside job centers like Redmond, Bellevue, and Kirkland. Instead, both students and Eastside bus riders who want to transfer have a minimum ten minute walk to and from the station's awkward location. There are also zero commercial services within sight of the station, not so much as a coffee stand, and there is no chance for transit-oriented development like apartments or even student housing.
That said, Sound Transit made the best of the situation by building a generous pedestrian and bicycle bridge over Montlake Boulevard and a land bridge across NE Pacific Place, allowing people to reach the station from campus without crossing roadways. There are also new connections to the regional Burke-Gilman Trail, a popular bicycle commuting route that stretches westward to Ballard and northward to neighborhoods along the shores of Lake Washington. A new plaza, furniture, lighting, wayfinding signs, bicycle parking, and an abundance of trees help improve the otherwise desolate locale. The station will also be convenient for the 4,300 employees at the UW Medical Center, and certainly it is still close enough to the UW campus to spark a paradigm shift in how U-District workers and residents will get around. Sound Transit projects the station will see 25,000 daily passengers by 2030.

Part of that shift will also come with significant changes in King County Metro's bus network. Next Saturday, March 26, northeastern Seattle will see new and consolidated routes with higher frequency than ever before. Much of the changes are designed to deliver far-flung riders to UW Station to provide a more reliable trip to Downtown and beyond, whereas before the workhorse routes 71/72/73 alternated between the Interstate 5 express lanes and slogging through surface street traffic. I was part of the Sounding Board that oversaw the restructure and made a series of posts on the process.
Capitol Hill Station
The bus network isn't changing nearly as much in central Seattle, but Capitol Hill Station promises to make an even bigger change in lifestyles and commutes. The station is smack in the middle of Seattle's most densely populated neighborhood (nearly 50 people per acre) and surrounded by bars, restaurants, shops, parks, and other attractions of all types. As such, the neighborhood is highly walkable and has existing bus service to and from the station. The First Hill streetcar's northernmost stop is also directly outside one of the station entries. The streetcar connects to several hospitals and Seattle University, which enrolls 7,000 students, and the station itself is within a stone's throw of Seattle Central College's 16,000 students. Sound Transit projects daily ridership of 14,000 passengers by 2030.
Two of the station entries currently stand amid bare pavement on a 2.6 acre site. Sound Transit has partnered with a developer to construct a mixed-use development on top of the station, with construction slated to begin this year. Up to five six-story buildings will contain retail space and 418 apartments; 38 percent of the apartments will be required to rent below market rates for 12 years, and 20 percent will be permanently rent below market rates. A third of the units will have at least two bedrooms. The site will also have a daycare and a new plaza space for the Capitol Hill Farmer's Market and other community events. A post on Capitol Hill Seattle Blog documented the mix of buildings which used to stand on the site, none of which were taller than three stories.
Among about a thousand other people I was lucky enough to win a "golden ticket" for the first public ride between the two new stations. The ceremonies began with an activation of UW Station, shown in all its glory in the video below.
I also had a chance to revel in the beauty of these two stations. The architecture is actually fairly bare and simple with a lot of large metal panels and sheets of glass, but this is balanced by colorful wall tiles and large scale art installations. Suspended above the Capitol Hill Station platform are two sliced up A-4 fighter jets wrapped in pink plastic and, placed nose-to-nose, appear to kiss. The UW Station's prominent piece is an etched metal box that encloses the upper mezzanine with blue symbols of the geological layers encountered during the station's excavation.

Left: outside the main Capitol Hill Station entry at the corner of Broadway and John Street. Right: the outside of UW Station. (Photos: author)
And the excavation was significant. Because the tunnel has to dive underneath the nearby Montlake Cut waterway, UW Station has three sets of escalators for descending to 120 feet beneath the surface. Capitol Hill Station's platform is a mere 65 feet below ground and has two escalator sequences at each of its three entries.
Sound Transit is advertising the time between stations as four minutes. That seemed accurate for one trip from UW to Capitol Hill, clocked at 4.5 minutes, but it overestimated another trip from Westlake to Capitol Hill Station at 2.5 minutes. Regardless, that's faster than any other mode transportation by far. Google Maps estimates traveling by other modes as: 25 minutes by foot; 16 minutes by bike; 15 minutes by bus; and eight minutes by car. The advertised times likely give wiggle room for busy times and to deal with buses in the Downtown tunnel. Still, the rapid trip is going to make the University District and Capitol Hill incredibly more accessible to all kinds of people for all types of trips. The estimated travel time from UW Station to SeaTac airport is 46 minutes.
One thing immediately noticeable at both stations was the lack of trash bins, seating, and restrooms. These are important for keeping stations clean and comfortable for passengers. With the exception of SeaTac/Aiport Station, public restrooms aren't present at other Link stations but they are particularly important for remote areas like UW Station. They would obviously require resources for upkeep, but their exclusion is a missed opportunity that must be considered for future stations. Trash receptacles can be easily implemented and multiplied without major hassle. And more seating along the length of the platforms is going to be needed for weary travelers, kids, and the elderly, even if trains are expected to arrive frequently.
The new frequency of Link, starting last September, is indeed a pleasant upgrade that will make getting around Seattle more convenient and predictable. Across the system the weekday schedule is the following:
5:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m. Every 15 minutes
6:00 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. Every 6 minutes
8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Every 10 minutes
3:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Every 6 minutes
6:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. Every 10 minutes
10:00 p.m. – 1:00 a.m. Every 15 minutes
The cutoff for service, however, is problematic. The last train on weekdays and Saturday nights will leave from UW Station at 12:30am, and the last train on Sundays leaves at 11:50pm. This is not enough to enable safe travel for weekend night life nor to enable late night airport connections or help service workers get home from graveyard shifts. Hours also need to be extended early in the morning.

Another potential issue is lack of space for objects like bicycles, strollers, wheelchairs, and luggage. On the opening day Sound Transit was running three-car trains for the crowds, but even so there was little maneuvering room for the large objects that are essential for multi-modal connections and for families to get around. Seattle Neighborhood Greenways and Seattle Bike Blog have called for more room for cargo bikes and other bulky items that people to take with them on a truly versatile transit system.
The dynamic signs above the platforms are a great amenity but could still be improved. The signs display the estimated arrivals of the next three trains, but that text and the current time is displayed much smaller than the name of the destination. The destination names also need to be accommodated with directions (e.g. north and south) to help new riders know which direction they are traveling. Further, it is disappointing that the Downtown tunnel's four stops still do not have the same kind of real-time arrival information. It is a standard for any kind of reliable transit system and astounding that they were not implemented given University Link's huge budget and $200 million in cost savings.

Despite the minor drawbacks, the two new stations are overall impressive and a very welcome addition to Seattle's bustling core. The high quality of the materials and expansiveness of the station's walkways, mezzanines, and platforms ensure these stations are durable for rush hour crowds and are built to last for the inevitable growth in ridership.
One more station will open late this year: Angle Lake in SeaTac, 1.6 miles south of the airport. The $383 million project includes a 1,050 space garage and expects to generate 5,400 average daily weekday riders by 2018.
Buildout of Northgate Link's three stations, mentioned above, is on track for completion by 2021, though with Sound Transit's record it might be earlier. Beyond that is the Lynwood Link project, the first light rail foray into Snohomish County, expected to open with at least four stations (with options for two more) by 2023. Also due for opening in 2023 are the ten stations of East Link, which will cross the I-90 floating bridge to serve Mercer Island, Bellevue, and west Redmond. These are all being funded by the $18 billion Sound Transit 2 measure approved by voters in 2008.
The third chance for the region to expand the light rail system is rapidly approaching. Sound Transit 3, or ST3 for short, is tentatively planned to be up to a 25-year package for completing the north-south network to Everett and Tacoma. It will also likely include extensions from Downtown Seattle to both Ballard and West Seattle, and there are several options for lines on the Eastside connecting Downtown Redmond, Kirkland, and Issaquah. The package will go before voters on the November 2016 ballot. While the current projects are transformative in their own right, the projects proposed for ST3 will finally build out a complete high-capacity transit system that puts the Seattle region on par with the world's major cities.
An unofficial conceptual vision of the light rail network in Seattle. (Seattle Subway)
As Jarrett Walker noted at Human Transit, "However far the region's rail transit network expands, [University Link] will probably always be its busiest segment. It's not just that the link between a robust downtown and a major university is the biggest transit market in many comparable cities. It's also that a good 40% of the region — northeast Seattle, all the northern suburbs and some eastern ones — will eventually end up on trains through this segment to get downtown."
University Link is a vital link to Seattle's future. It will empower people, whether they be residents, employees, or visitors, to move about more freely, safely, and conveniently for at least the next 100 years. Light rail will work well with last year's passage of Move Seattle to fund street maintenance and bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, alongside continued improvement in local bus service. Seattle isn't finished, and its transportation network must continue to expand and be refined to meet the needs of a growing city.

Vinyl chloride and high-fat diet as a model of environment and obesity interaction
Anna L. Lang, William T. Goldsmith, Regina D. Schnegelberger, Gavin E. Arteel, Juliane I. Beier
Vinyl chloride (VC), an abundant environmental contaminant, causes steatohepatitis at high levels, but is considered safe at lower levels. Although several studies have investigated the role of VC as a direct hepatotoxicant, the concept that VC modifies sensitivity of the liver to other factors, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) caused by high-fat diet (HFD) is novel. This protocol describes an exposure paradigm to evaluate the effects of chronic, low-level exposure to VC. Mice are acclimated to low-fat or high-fat diet one week prior to the beginning of the inhalation exposure and remain on these diets throughout the experiment. Mice are exposed to VC (sub-OSHA level: <1 ppm) or room air in inhalation chambers for 6 hours/day, 5 days/week, for up to 12 weeks. Animals are monitored weekly for body weight gain and food consumption. This model of VC exposure causes no overt liver injury with VC inhalation alone. However, the combination of VC and HFD significantly enhances liver disease. A technical advantage of this co-exposure model is the whole-body exposure, without restraint. Moreover, the conditions more closely resemble a very common human situation of a combined exposure to VC with underlying nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and therefore support the novel hypothesis that VC is an environmental risk factor for the development of liver damage as a complication of obesity (i.e., NAFLD). This work challenges the paradigm that the current exposure limits of VC (occupational and environmental) are safe. The use of this model can shed new light and concern on the risks of VC exposure. This model of toxicant-induced liver injury can be used for other volatile organic compounds and to study other interactions that may impact the liver and other organ systems.

I worked on my witch hat all during the retreat. Even though I accidently forgot to bring my sewing bag that contained ALL MY THREADS, EXTRA NEEDLES, AND SCISSORS! When I discovered my error soon after we arrived at the cabin, I didn't panic. I didn't cry. I didn't go upstairs and throw myself down. I didn't rub honey on myself and walk out looking for bears. I didn't go out and tease an elk (though I was sorely tempted to do all those things). I just figured I'd throw myself on the mercy of my fellow CQers and beg a piece of thread here and another there, and I'd stitch as I could, borrowing scissors as I went.
I did have one needle with me, stuck in the cone-shaped piece of the hat, as I'd been working on it when I left and had packed it in the large plastic tub I brought. Well, that first evening, we exchanged our little "gifties" (small tokens for each member of the group; mine was some buttons and beads). Diane M from Ontario gave each of us a small baggie with several skeins of rayon floss (thanks again Diane!), so I was no longer destitute! The next day, I begged a bit of floss from Gerry H(Gerry, you rock!), and worked on the circle design on my hat. That afternoon, we each got a "door prize", and I got a cute glass jar filled with 6-strand cotton floss. Later I discovered a ball of white perle cotton (my favorite thread) that I'd thrown in for the dyeing session, along with white lace and silk ribbon (for which I had no needle).
When we did the dyeing, using Leslie's Adirondack alcohol ink dyes (thank you for sharing again, Leslie, I missed out on this last year), I dyed some of the lace and a bit of the ribbon, but I dyed almost the whole ball of perle cotton (I shared some with others). I did a blue and purple variegation, and a shades of olive green, and shades of grassy green. I did a pale to intense orange, and a pale to bright yellow. I did a white to hot pink that is pretty enough to eat. I did a pink and pale orange that I dubbed "tequila sunrise". Then I got really wild and did a purple and orange variegation specifically for my hat (can't imagine what else that combination would be useful for!). See below; the purple/orange is what I used for the wavy wheat ear chain. The blue/purple is in the "flowers" on the seam to the left of the fly button. The yellow is the broom straw.
After I got home, I did the "wicked" wording, and put the little glass cat head bead that Gerry gave me on the lace motif with the lavender roses that Ingrid gave me.
At the retreat I did the backstitched caldron, and gave it some orange leaf beads for its fire. The metal piece to the left is an earring I found at a second hand store.
During the stash dash, I found lots of pieces of black fabric to add into my brims, which I hadn't pieced yet. I'd been trying all the week before retreat to find time to piece them, but it was better that I waited till I got there; I got so much more variety in the fabrics by waiting!
The bit of orange ribbon is also from Ingrid. I think this brim is the underside, as that large expanse of black fabric is going to have a part of a crocheted doily placed over it as a spider web, with the spider hanging down by a thread.
To do the wording, including the "wicked" phrase, I used waste canvas that is made for counted cross stitch. It gives you a grid on which to stitch a motif or words. In this case, "Hocus Pocus". The first thing to do is sketch out the words on graph paper that is approximately the same size as the waste canvas (14 squares to the inch). In this photo, the stitching is already done.
Stitch the wording; I used a back stitch and some of my blue/purple variegated perle. It's good to have large unused margins on the canvas; those long threads are easier to grasp when you start to pull them out.
The stitching is done and I'm beginning to take out the waste canvas. This can be done easier if you dampen the canvas, but it's not absolutely necessary. If you're working on satin or other water-stainable fabric, it's best to do it dry.
Almost done. The threads that are actually under your stitches are harder to pull out than the marginal ones, so pull them carefully. Maybe hold a slight pressure on your stitching to keep it in place as you pull.
And the finished motif; HOCUS POCUS! Ooops! Did I turn you into a frog? Oh, good!
I'm very curious to see how your hat turns out! So far, it looks great, and I'm sure it's going to be fantastic when it's finished!
My goodness, your hat is turning out wonderfully! I could see a crazy quilted top hat in my future.
Oh, this is a fabulous idea! I was just thinking today that I've never done a black crazy quilt. Ooo, now you have me thinking! ha ha.
Can't wait for finished photos!


Food and meal time has always been a product of our culture. In the post-war suburbanization era, families gathered around the dinner table every night to share a home-cooked meal. Elaborate meals were a steadfast facet of daily life. However, as more women left the family home to pursue careers outside the kitchen, the tradition of meal time was forced to undergo a shift. Thanks to the advent of fast-food chains and instant, microwavable meals, dinner time became less focused on the act of sharing a meal and more on the end-game of eating efficiently.
This past decade has also ushered in a time of major transformation for the food industry. Thanks to a growing obesity epidemic and eye-opening documentaries and exposees revealing the dangers of processed-foods consumption habits, consumers today are trying to find ways to incorporate health and efficiency in one fell swoop. Today, we're trying to find a way to blend elements of past generations and attitudes toward food: we want to find ways to consume more wholesome foods without necessarily sacrificing efficiency and expediency.
Luckily, a new crop of entrepreneurs are stepping to the forefront to develop solutions that offer consumers more options, transparency, and of course, more access to meals that support both their lifestyles and health needs.
Over the past decade, startups like Plated and BlueApron have amassed legions of loyal customers who rely on the boxed meal kit services as alternatives to eating take-out meals every night. The meal kit revolution, spearheaded by these companies, has given consumers the opportunity to get back to their kitchens without having to invest unrealistic amounts of time to grocery shopping and meal prep. These services have sufficiently provided answers to consumers two-pronged food demands. Now, newer startups are stepping up to find ways to enhance and expand this approach.
While some entrepreneurs and VC firms, including SOSV, are looking beyond meal kits and into the realm of artificial food to pioneer a new culinary age. Many established organizations and upstarts, alike, are remaining focused on enhancing the delivery model. Amazon, even recently announced its plans to expand its food footprint beyond grocery delivery into ready-to-eat meals.
In London, entrepreneur Andreas Jaegle, too, is tackling the ever-growing meal delivery vertical with his company, Everdine. Everdine differentiates itself from other delivery-based companies by providing flash-freezing meals to consumers. By immediately freezing ready-to-eat recipes, Everdine is able to lock in each meal's nutrients, which means that the company's customers are able to enjoy innovative and nutritionally-sound meals without wasting time on preparation. In addition to offering fast, easy, and healthy solutions, Jaegle and co. have also found that delivering frozen recipes cuts down on food waste because customers can heat portions of their deliveries as needed.
The food world is on the brink of unchartered territory, and startups like Everdine have the opportunity to make a lasting impact. We, as a culture, need to find ways to make eating more nutritious and sustainable for everybody, not just individuals who can afford to spend the time and money on the highest quality ingredients possible. How we eat dictates our quality of life, and Everdine is committed to enhancing its customers' quality of life, one meal at a time. Additionally, Everdine is also committed to educating customers about food's real impact on long-term health.The company's blog publishes content that explores what it means to live a healthy lifestyle. However, unlike other food blogs, their goal is not to tell people exactly how to eat or live, but simply, to share real stories from real people. Companies like Everdine are taking on the responsibility of leading a healthy eating revolution through education.
Any entrepreneur entering the food startup space knows that competition is stiff. Unless you have pockets as deep as Amazon's, the key to success, quite often, is scaling slowly. This step-by-step strategy is exactly the approach Everdine is taking to solidify its footing in the market. The company is committed to obtaining customer feedback and insights on a regular basis, and they are willing to put their money where their mouth is by applying customer comments into each new iteration of the brand, which means constant testing and analysis. This data and customer-driven approach is proving successful, because in just one year, Everdine has already delivered 100,000 meals in the UK.
Mealtime has undergone a major transformation over the last decade.Today, consumers are more aware than ever that how they eat has a significant impact on their quality of life. Consumers have more access to nutritional information and, subsequently, are growing increasingly concerned with understanding where their food comes from, how it is produced, and, also, how it fits into their busy lifestyles. Any company entering this space must do so with the understanding that it is not a static industry; what works for one food startup today may seem outdated to consumers tomorrow who are in incessant pursuit of meal solutions that feed appetites as much as they feed their health needs and lifestyle demands. Luckily for consumers across the globe, emerging entrepreneurs in this space re developing products and solutions that serve, or at least attempt to serve, every facet of of our culinary demands.

The renaissance of Jose Calderon
Posted: December 25, 2010 in basketball, Sports
Taken from my article on Raptors Watch
It's a slow Christmas day in Raptors media land. A copious amount of people have their eyes spotlighted on Kobe's 13th Christmas Day game in his 15 year career. Alas, that much-anticipated game doesn't start until 5PM, and we still have over an hour to go until the first Christmas Day match-up starts.
So while we cool our heels, we might as well reflect on the resurgence of Jose Calderon this season.
The majority of us Raptor fans were dismayed when we learned that Michael Jordan got cold feet in a trade that would've sent Jose to Charlotte for Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler (what a steal that would've been by Colangelo), but approximately 6 months later, it's time to look at the positives.
Provided that Colangelo did indeed pick-up Diaw and Chandler, I'd say we would be looking at some more immediate success, and a better record than the current one the Raptors possess. Chandler in particular, would've provided an intimidating inside presence, and he would've been a perfect complement to Andrea Bargnani.
On the other hand, we'd see Jarrett Jack running the point night-in and night-out. It's hard to speculate who the back-up point guard would be, but we do know that Jack isn't a great defender, nor a consistent player.
When Jose learnt that Colangelo wanted to ship him off, and failed – the psychological impact on the Spaniard were clear for all to see. At the beginning of the season, Jose just didn't look like the Jose that led the Raps to an Atlantic Division title back in '08 – far from it in fact. His confidence was low. All the things that made him so good in his prime – driving to the basket, finding team-mates in good spots, not turning the ball over, and hitting long-range shots – disappeared completely.
It wasn't until Colangelo pulled the trigger and traded Jack, Banks, and Anderson for Bayless and Peja, that Calderon started playing basketball that we know he's capable of playing; and it's now that we're finally seeing the fruits and blessing of the collapsed trade with Charlotte.
What fruits and blessings do you ask?
Shipping off Jack and Banks gave Jose all the confidence he needs, knowing that they count on him to run this team.
Adding Bayless is a huge move for the future. Jerryd does all the things Jack can do – but only better. He can drive to the basket better, shoot better, and play defense better. Add to that, he's also younger and has tremendous upside.
Acquiring Peja's expiring contract – a huge move in building for the future.
You see the spring in Jose's step in the aftermath of this trade. His numbers are up, he's shooting with confidence, playing aggressively on defense, and driving to the basket more.
Jose has also gained the respect of US media. From a recently published article on Hoopsworld:
Since Jack was traded, Calderon has started 12 games and is averaging 12.2 points on 54 percent shooting and 48.4 percent from three to go with 9.2 assists and 1.3 steals as the Raptors have won five and lost seven. Toronto is 10-19 on the season. Calderon has been playing some of the best basketball of his career as a starter this year.

Now, there's no telling what will happen to Jose in the future. He might stay and continue as the Raptors' leading point guard. But if Colangelo still wants to trade him, it will be much easier to do so this time around as Jose's trade value is as high as it ever was.
