In support of my New Years resolution to eat better, does anyone know of a nutritionist that they know and love? I need someone who can help plan meals working with my unique set of constraints (such as there are not a lot of vegetables that I like and I don't like to cook).

Near Davis would be nice but I'll take anyone within reasonable driving/parking or T accessible.

Thanks!

Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

Join us for services followed by a potluck, dairy/vegetarian Shabbat lunch. There will also be a children’s service at 11:30 a.m. Services at Havurat Shalom are egalitarian, lay-led and usually involve a lot of singing. The potluck is truly pot luck - no arranging of the dishes in advance. The meal is a good time to meet people and we welcome newcomers.

Services: 10:00 a.m.
Children's service: 11:30 a.m.
Lunch: c. 12:30 p.m.

I'd like to make a wooden ring for my girlfriend out of ebony - I have a broken upright bass with a nice ebony fingerboard that's otherwise useless.  So, I'm wondering if someone would allow me use of their woodshop (basic tools and perhaps a wood lather) for a few hours so I can make this ring..

I'm reasonably competent in a woodshop - I wouldn't need much supervision...

Willing to pay for the time used...

Thanks!
Derek

On the curb in front of 24 Washburn Ave in Cambridge, just down from Teele:

* A bunch of moving boxes. Already broken down. Not rain-damaged.

* Crate & Barrel TV stand. Wheels, two shelves plus a top that will hold about a 30" tube TV or a larger flat-screen. Light weight but sturdy. Lift it from the bottom, though. The shelves stay in place fine if you're pushing it around, but if you lift them up they'll come right off.

* Perfectly adequate, totally clean, white plastic 13 gallon kitchen trash can with swinging lid.
Doesn't fit in my kitchen.

* Perfectly adequate, totally clean, totally boring white bathroom size 3-gallon trashcan.

I know it's seriously short notice, but the Steve Katsos Show, a talk/variety show taped in Arlington, MA and broadcast throughout New England (including Somerville Community Access Television), is looking for a musical act to play on Tuesday night, 12/29.

We had a musical act cancel on us last minute, so if you could perform for us, please respond to this message and I will provide more details.

The only requirement is that the act has an album to promote (CD, iTunes, CD Baby, etc.), or has shows in the area.

Check out clips here: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSteveKatsosShow

Appreciate any assistance here.

Thanks,

I have about a garbarge bag's worth of scraps to give away. Only that much in volume because there's one medium-poofy scrap (soft soft blue-gray faux something-or-other), and one downright furry one (the navy blue one in the photos). Do you want it? Comment and I'll leave it on my front porch, corner of Packard and Powder House Blvd (10-12 min walk from Davis, 7-8 min walk from Powder House Square).

Just in case more than one person wants it, please wait to get a reply from me before coming over.

( bad photos under the cut )

1 room in a 2 bed apt in a quiet neighborhood, close to a Brazilian bakery, Dunkin Donuts, a CVS, a Chinese place famous for their dumplings, a good Italian restaurant, and inexpensive gas. 5-10 min bike ride and, 20 -25 min walk to DS, on 2 bus lines, close to I-93, with on street parking. Huge, well-maintained kitchen (very sweet and geeky roommate likes to cook), *very* clean. Comment if you are interested, and I will pass it on to the landlady--and feel free and encouraged to signal boost/spread the word. Rent is $500, $650 if you want to stay past April.

Edit: this sublet can be longer than January and February, and it could also be shorter than that as well.
