Beat the credit crunch with some crunching of your own!
It's true, an unhealthy lifestyle will add to your bottom line - in more ways than one. A bad diet and a sedentary lifestyle affect your looks and your wallet. Healthy eating and regular exercise can improve your family's immune systems and that adds up to fewer prescription payments in the expensive winter months and less down time at work.
The costs add up when illness hits your family. You spend what little time you have running to buy ointments and tissues and over-the-counter medications to ease their symptoms. You lose valuable work time and, usually, you lose sleep. Then your tired body catches their cold and the cycle continues.
Eating is everything
This doesn't mean that you now face a life of staring mournfully at a lettuce leaf and a half tomato while a croissant calls your name. Instead all you need is a little moderation and a little more five a day.
This isn't as much of a mission as it sounds. You can grab your fruity fives from juices that are low in sugar and crunch on carrots or celery to up your ante whenever you're feeling munchy. Try to avoid any kinds of white breads and processed baked goods like buns and cakes. These are pretty much the big weight gainers. Transplant them with wholemeal breads, wholemeal pastas and brown rice and don't let potatoes become an everyday occurrence. You'll probably appreciate them even more if they're allowed once a week.
The wholemeal variations of basic carbs don't cost anymore than the white so your budget won't have to undergo any kind of knock. Although, if you are planning on bringing more fruits and vegetables into your daily diet, try and stagger their expiry dates and to store them properly. Throwing away rotten food is a frustrating waste.
Stretch those muscles
When it comes to exercise you don't need to join a gym and spend £100s on lengthy contracts that feel more like you're paying rent for a house you never live in than an investment in your health. Walking around your neighbourhood for 40 minutes every other day will increase your circulation, improve your mood and help you lose the pounds.
Breathing in fresh air and discovering new areas of the world is proven to have a marked impact on self-esteem and health. Not only that, but you may end up finding a new park or play area for your kids that they'll enjoy exploring and doesn't cost you a penny.
If you don't have the time or inclination to wander about outdoors then the internet is about to become your gym instructor. There are tons of free online exercise programmes that you can tailor to your own unique family needs and most of them will include a healthy eating plan too. They certainly do take the labour out of everything, especially if you're not the kind of person who wants to spend hours learning about calories, carb counts and superfoods.
Read the fine print
Even when you follow a healthy diet and exercise regime it's likely that a cold or two will slip through your defences. Also, there are plenty of times that you can't avoid having to pay for prescriptions and medications, especially for conditions like diabetes and asthma. Check that you aren't lucky enough to fall into one of the exemption categories that include Under16s, pregnant women and full time students.
If you don't qualify for an exemption you should consider getting a Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC) from the NHS. Depending on the number of prescriptions you need every month (bear in mind that you can only use one certificate per person) you can potentially save some money. And, if you're lucky enough to be in a region like Scotland that's phasing out prescription charges, then you can get your certificate reimbursed if this happens while it's still valid.
What about the counter?
Sometimes buying your medication over the counter is actually cheaper than buying it on prescription. If you're lucky you'll have a marvellous chemist who'll point this out whenever you take a well-intentioned prescription to their counter, but there's also a chance they won't. Before you cash in that prescription ask how much the counter version will cost first. You may end up shaving off extra pennies and pounds that you could better use elsewhere, like that holiday to Majorca for example.
The final check
Being a parent is hard work and it's likely that the long hours and extra stress (yes, there is extra stress!) will have a negative effect on your immune system. Try to get you and your family outdoors at least once a day, work up a sweat doing housework with ankle weights and eat fruit and veg instead of chocs and chips. It's far too easy to succumb to fish and chips because you're too tired to cook but good foods will improve your energy levels and you'll save a healthy whack of cash not buying fast, instant meals. Besides, imagine how smug you'll feel when number 32 looks over at your house at the end of winter and sees a slim, svelte you emerging into the sunshine in that favourite frock...

A Chicago man faces felony charges after he attacked two women in separate incidents Saturday on the North Side, officials said today.
John Poiner, 47, of the 600 block of West Deming Place, was charged with aggravated battery on the public way, attempted robbery, battery and simple assault, Chicago police officials said in a press release.
Police said the first attack happened about 4:40 p.m. on the 1300 block of North Ashland Avenue, where Poiner approached a 20-year-old woman who was with her mother who was in a wheelchair as they were coming out of a department store. Poiner asked them for a cigarette and 50 cents, and when they refused he hit the 20-year-old woman in the face and fled, police said.

The director of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare points to a startling statistic as people's exhibit No. 1 that the recession is far from over: One in five Idahoans receive welfare benefits—almost twice as many as 10 years ago.
To date, nearly 321,700 Idahoans receive assistance through food stamps, Medicaid or child care.
This morning's Twin Falls Times-News reports that Health and Welfare director Dick Armstrong told members of the Idaho Legislature's Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee that his department needs a 1.6 percent budget increase for Fiscal Year 2015.
Additionally, Armstrong said he needs approximately $4.6 million to establish three behavioral health crisis centers to alleviate the stress on law enforcement and jails, where many mental patients may currently be held. The behavioral health centers would be located in Boise, Coeur d'Alene and Idaho Falls, and would provide 24-hour temporary holding facilities for individuals experiencing mental-health and substance-abuse episodes.
"But the goal is not to let them get into a crisis situation in the first place," he told JFAC. "Over the long run, we want to build a peer support system, people who can stay in contact with these individuals.

I untacked him, felt his legs and everything felt and looked just fine, no heat no obvious swelling. I had him trot out again without me riding him and he looked just fine going straight but again slightly off to the left.
My trainer came by after that and I trotted him out again for her but where we were I couldn't turn him so all she saw was that he looked fine. She said they were crazy when turned out last time, bucking and carrying on so it is likely he just tweaked or pulled something in turn out. I'm not super worried about it. I gave him some bute and figured I'll check on him tomorrow.
And just when I thought pictures of my horse laying in his stall were getting boring this happened:

Problem solved, Thanks God
Perhaps, some of you noted that this blog has not been frequently updated. Happened that in the past year I was having some health issues that Thanks God, are finally resolved. Next is the story:
In March 2010 I was diagnosed with severe anemia (Hemoglobin 5.6). Investigating the causes of the anemia (which at that point only give me dermatologic symptoms), it was discovered that I had a uterine fibroid. My gynecologist recommended making surgery the next week to remove it and to avoid that my blood levels fall so dramatically. I refused the surgery, my anemia was responding to the iron treatment, and at that time, the fibroid was not giving me any important symptoms. Additionally, I knew from family's experiences that fibroids are not a life threatening condition and that they stop bothering you after menopause. I did agree to receive an injection to reduce the influence of hormones and help stop the growing of the fibroid. The objective of that injection was to send me to a kind of menopause stage, It was too much for me, I was so upset with the side effects of that injection ( Zoladex) that I never come back to see that Dr.
While dealing with the side effects of the previous injection, I keep looking for alternatives to treat the fibroid. I read several books and found several pages in the internet, the best and more complete was www.fibroidsecondopinion.com by the well recognized Dr. William Parker in Santa Monica, California. I decided to follow the recommendation of his page, starting with Watchful Waiting. Additionally, I tried natural medication to deal with the symptoms, including natural hormones and vitamins supplements. Some of these alternatives helped with symptoms for a little while, but as the fibroid was growing, my symptoms were getting worse and the iron treatment was not being effective to keep my hemoglobin in normal levels. My health was quickly deteriorating; the fibroid was degenerating and starting to produce episodes of severe pain that send me to emergency room a couple of times. In May 2011, I realize that at that point, surgery was a reasonable option.
My husband was very supportive to provide for whatever alternative I decided. Since I live so far away from Santa Monica, I was afraid to make the long trip; it comforted me to know that woman travel from the all parts of the World to be treated by Dr Parker.
I visited a dr, considered the best surgeon in the best local hospital here in Al Khobar. The only alternative offered to me locally was an Abdominal Myomectomy (remove the fibroid thru an abdominal incision similar to c-section) with risk of Hysterectomy; I was told by the local surgeon that my fibroid was very big, it measured 11cm. The local Dr. ordered a MRI confirming the position and size of the fibroid.
After I made the MRI, I email Dr. Parker for the first time and ask for a telephone consultation. I was surprised for his prompt reply, the very next day. I send him by Fedex the CD containing the MRI, a few days later we have a telephone consultation where he explained to me the best alternatives for my case while watching the same MRI images in my computer. He answers all my questions. He told me that based in my condition; it was possible to make a laparoscopic myomectomy, a surgery that will allow me to leave the hospital the same day and to have a fast recovery. My only concern was that in a laparoscopic myomectomy required in general anesthesia, which scare me. It was possible to make an abdominal myomecyomy using epidural anesthesia, that will give me the same results respect to the fibroid, but the recovery is longer, the risk are more due to a large incision.
On July 8th I arrived to Los Angeles after 32 hours trip from my house in Saudi Arabia. That same afternoon I had my preoperational appointed; the surgery was scheduled to the next Wednesday 13th. Santa Monica is a nice city about 30 minute from LAX airport. I arrived early to my appointment; the staff was already waiting for me. I meet Dr Parker, he talk to me as if he knew me from a long time, he made the examination and then we talk in his office. I did not have many questions about the surgery, his website is very complete. I did have question about anesthesia and how I will feel after surgery and when my symptoms will improve. He told me that even so I decided for abdominal myomectomy, I will be under sedation so I will not be aware of what is going on, he told me that he will be talking with me about the vacation and I will not even remember the surgery. I thought that if that was the case, if was never know that I was being put to sleep, it was ok with me go under general anesthesia and received the benefits of the laparoscopic surgery. We agree, even so he told me that any change of opinion was ok, and I can call him the next Monday if I decided to change, I like that he was so understanding. His nurse give me instructions to visit the hospital the next Monday for blood test, also she give me instruction for pre and post operatory care and the order for medication (the pain killers) to have it ready for after the surgery.
The next Monday, I went to Saint John Health Center in Santa Monica Boulevard. In the lab, they took a blood sample and they put me a plastic bracelet with my information. I was requested to do not remove it. I also was instructed to do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before the surgery.
The Wednesday 13th, I arrived to the hospital at 7:00 am. In the Pre-operation office, they were already waiting for me (The Dr. staff arrange everything with the hospital). They give to my husband a number to be checking my progress in the monitors in the cafeteria. Saint John's is a modern and nice hospital.
In pre-operation, three friendly nurses, helping me to change my clothing, they put me some panty hose to improve circulation, purple socks with bears prints, and a kind of snuggy which they feel with warm air, a nurse put in the IV. I was feeling very nice treated and very comfortable, but I must admit, I was very afraid. Todd was allowed to come for few minutes, Octavio stays outside with my mother in law (children are not allowed in that area). Then came Dr. Parker, he was dressed as the surgeon in the movies, he was smiling and very confident as always. The anesthesiologist, a nice looking young lady, also came. Dr. Parker told her that I was afraid of the anesthesia. I ask her to never let me know that she was going to put me to sleep; she told me "I don't have to, I will give you something that you will like it to receive each day". She was smiling and looked very sure about what she was doing. She started to ask me a list of general question about my health conditions. Dr. Parker come back and told me that after surgery he will go and tell Todd about the results, smiling he hugged me, he kiss me in the chick and told me that everything will be fine. Immediately, I open my eyes and found myself with a mask to breath over my face, I knew it was over. I thanked God. I saw a nurse next to me, I asked her if all was over, she confirmed, I asked her if the surgery went ok, she told me, that everything was as planned, I saw a clock in the wall, It was 11:00 am. Yes, an anesthesia is as fast as close and opens the eyes, amazing!
The nurse offered me apple juice, cranberry juice or water. I ask for cranberry juice, she bring me some and also crackers, my favorites. I requested to see my husband. I did not want to move, I was feeling pretty comfortable with my warm snuggy. I thought that I will look bloating as a big balloon (I knew that laparoscopic surgery require to fill the abdominal cavity with gas in order to make the surgery) but I look rather normal, I touched my stomach, the fibroid ( the size of a large grapefruit) was gone. It took me like one hour to fully awake. Around 12:00 noon, Todd come, I was happy to see him. Everything was fine, he told me that the Dr. Parker showed him some amazing pictures of the surgery and confirmed that the surgery went good as expected. The nurse helped me to see my abdomen, it look pretty normal, just four small pieces of tape about one inch each covering the incisions, also I count like 12 dots around all the area, I thought they were marks of injections, later, during a post-operation visit, Dr. Parker would tell me that they were actually marks of the clamps they used to hold the skin before start the surgery. They disappeared few days later.
I keep drinking cranberry juice; I knew that they will let me go home as soon I was able to go to the bathroom. I tried to eat the crackers, it was a funny sensation, I was not able to swallow it, the nurse told me that throat was dry, the juice fixed it. Around 2:00 pm I asked to go to the bathroom, the nurse help me to stand up. I had a red liquid discharge from the belly bottom, that scare me, I thought that perhaps the incision was open, but happened to be a normal discharge, actually it was a discharge of the liquid used during the surgery. I was able to walk by myself, I did feel groggy, and the nurse helps me to walk. I did not experience pain, the nurse promptly give me a painkiller as soon I express the least discomfort. The nurse told me that Dr. Parker also helped her with her endometriosis problem, that he is the best gynecologist she knew that that he wrote a book call A Gynecologist's Second Opinion.
At 3:00 pm, I arrived to the apartment we were rented in Montana Ave, few streets from the Hospital. I was able to walk and go up the stairs, but my husband help me to go out the car. I started to feel tired and very dizzy from the painkillers; I went direct to the bed. I was happy my mother in law was able to come from Washington and stay with us, in this manner; I was able to focus in rest and recovery knowing that Todd and Octavio were in good hands.
The next morning I awake feeling very good, just a little tired. I checked my email, I even email Dr. Parker to tell him how great I was filling and how blessed I was to found him and order his book online. I had no diet restriction, but I was not very hungry. Dr. Parker call my in the morning, he told me that do not over due even so I feel great. I followed his recommendation and rest most of that day. I discover that laughing was painful, but even so I keep watching a comedy channel. I keep receiving calls from his office to check in my progress the next days.
The Friday morning we moved to an apartment near the beach in Venice. I was able to walk in the shopping mall. The Saturday, I was feeling a little uncomfortable for the gases. My husband found in internet that drinking hot tea with lemon helps with the symptoms of gases after a laparoscopic surgery, I drink some, and the next day I feel much better. The Monday, I was complete fine. That afternoon, I visit Dr. Parker; he removed the tapes that cover the incisions to reveal four small incisions, two like 0.5 cm, and one to the right like 1cm long, the fourth in the belly bottom that does not show at all. They are so small and insignificant that does not deserve further comments. Dr, Parker told me that any bumpy feeling will disappear in a few months. He gave me a set of nice pictures showing the process of the surgery, also I ask him to sign my copy of his book, I save it as a treasure.
After that day, all is getting better and better, I was able to enjoy the shopping malls, I went to the beach, again I am able to use colorful clothing (not just black pants!). I am losing weight; which is an extra bonus… I am so happy I found Dr. Parker and was able to visit him for the surgery.
Here is a picture of me exactly one week after the surgery. That afternoon I visited Dr. Parker for the last time,. He told me that I was having an exceptional recovery, I agree.
I come back home two days later, the Saturday 23th, exactly 10 days after the surgery. I am happy all is over, Dr. Parker told me that it will take three months to complete heal and see the full results of the surgery but I am already feel complete recover. All the symptoms of the fibroid complete disappeared. If I knew, one year ago, how I am filling today, I would made the surgery as soon my fibroid was discovered and save all that suffering. I will not doubt to travel to Santa Monica if I have a new health condition. It is such a blessing to have Dr. William Parker.

Hello everyone! Thanks for visiting Daily Web Ideas.
Why I Started Daily Web Ideas
Well, let me start off by saying the relationships you build online, in business or just in your everyday life can make a difference in how you perceive and approach the world. I've met some great people online. My most recent adventure online was with Career Ramblings. Career Ramblings was a way for me to share some of my passion with others. I work by day helping people achieve their goals. I partner graduating students from college with company executives for mentoring relationships and internships. Careers are what I know, helping people is what I love.
I have had the privelege of meeting like-minded people through my adventures with Career Ramblings. Most of these people have sites that are focused on building the best blog or site possible. I have noticed that all of these sites are primarily for intermediate to advanced web users. And this is where Jane May Blogs comes in.
I began in the blogging business with no real sense of what exactly I was getting into. Most of the sites I first read were using terminology that was way over my head. What I needed was a site that walked me through the basics and how to make my blog successful and profitable in a language that I could understand.
I, along with some guests, will blog about topics that will walk you through the whole process of building a web site, from choosing a domian name to using the best Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques available to monetization strategies . But more importantly, we will show you first hand how to do this. We will have case studies where we walk you through starting a new web site, marketing it and making it profitable. If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, great! It will be a very interactive process so be ready to help us with things such as choosing a niche, and domain name.

How to Buy Women's Boots Online?
A lot of women feel apprehensive about wearing boots in the summer. The main first concern is about feeling unusually warm and uncomfortable due to summer heat. But, in reality if you wear boots with socks made of breathable fabric, it is not very different from wearing sandals in summers. After all, there are so many women who wear tennis shoes, skater shoes etc in summers, then why say no to a stylish pair of boots? Further, boots help protect your feet from tanning and dust. Hence, it is worth trying to buy and try out a pair of boots this summer. But, what are the factors that you should consider while shopping for women's boots online or from an outlet? Well! Read further to get the answers.
- Material: Leather and synthetic leather are two types of materials used to make boots. If you want something that stands the test of time and the impact of daily wear and tear, choose leather boots. For a more summer-appropriate look, suede leather is the perfect choice.
- Colour: "Technology has allowed us to use as many colors as we want in the boots. This is why some of the most popular colors are brown, tan, black and white. But you can also go for more bold choices like pink, purple and blue. Then it all comes down to the accessories and the rest of the outfit," recommends tip-buying.blogspot.in. Other than these popular colours, you may also try contemporary hues such as chestnut, chocolate, blue, beige etc. Do not wear dark-colored boots with clothes that are too bright, go for contrast pairing.
- Length: Ankle-length boots are the most popular ones during summers. These can be teamed up with jeans, capries, shorts, maxi skirts etc and are easy to wear and carry. You may also buy knee-length boots as these can be used in winters as well. But, keeping in mind the summer season, knee-length boots will suit only particular dress-styles. For example, a knotted shirt, jeans and a pair of knee-length boots.
- Heel-size: Nothing but your comfort-level is what matters when it comes to choosing the heel size. Block heels are the most comfortable types of heels. Pointed-heeled boots will look good only when you wear something which is specifically feminine. For example, a one-piece dress. For daily use and to protect your feet, block heels are recommended.
- Size: Know your size before ordering shoes online. Draw your foot on paper and measure the size from toe to heel. Note down the numbers. Besides US and UK-based foot measurements, most online shopping websites have a size guide which indicates measurements in centimetres. Choose your boots according to the closest possible measurement.
- Return and Exchange: Choose sites that offer easy return and exchange policy. Read all the terms and conditions thoroughly before making a purchase.
Do try out boots this summer and let us know how did you style it up?

Green Screen Photo BoothFriday, November 15th, 2013
Photo booth rentals continue to be popular at all kinds of events and celebrations and Magic Moment Photo Booth, Based in Chicago, IL and Los Angeles, CA, we offer a variety of photo booth rental enhancements to make the photo booth experience more fun and enjoyable. One such enhancement is our green screen technology.
Magic Moment Photo Booth has carved out a niche in the open-air photo booth industry by the addition of green screen technology. This is the same technology that is used by weather forecasters in photo shoots for popular magazines, as well as in Hollywood movies.
Green screen technology works by taking a photo of the guest standing in front of a green backdrop. Depending on the photo layout, up to four different scenic photos can be pre-programmed. In one photo could be the famous Hollywood sign or Eiffel Tower, another could be an exotic beach.
Customers may choose from a variety of backgrounds from Magic Moment Photo Booth's library of photos or in limited circumstances provide a photo of their own. At the event, the photo booth will be set up with the selected backgrounds. Before the photo is taken, guests stand in front of a green backdrop and can see themselves on the 20 inch monitor with the backgrounds displayed. Once the start button is pressed, the photo booth takes the pictures and the photos come out with the green backdrop replaced by the backgrounds selected. Seconds after the last picture is snapped, the photos print on a commercial-grade photo printer.
Magic Moment Photo Booth offers open air photo booths which are ideal for both large and small venues. As many as 12 people can fit in front of the booth and the professional grade equipment produces clear quality photo prints. Each rental always comes with a photo booth attendant and the company offers a variety of services in addition to green screen technology to enhance the photo booth rental experience.

Ben Underwood, dentist and app developer, is one of 17 innovators who'll receive funding and support from the NHS to incorporate health technology with clinical practice as part of the NHS Innovation Accelerator programme.
Brush DJ is an app designed to help everyone keep on top of their dental health. The app plays two minutes of a song that you choose from your smartphone, and sends you easy-to-follow reminders of how to brush your teeth.
Ben told us 'I've met many NHS leaders who've offered their support to help get the app adopted into practice quickly. In the past it's taken 17 years to get an innovation into the NHS.
Much of the programme will be learning how to take the innovation to a larger number of patients at greater pace.'The announcement comes after Brush DJ won the Keep Me Healthy category in the AXA PPP Health Tech & You awards.
'The publicity around the awards also helped raise awareness of the app and increase downloads. In my interview for the fellowship, I cited the Health Tech & You awards as a key factor in the app development.
Research has also been carried out to look at the effectiveness of the app – a paper reporting the results has been approved for publication in the British Dental Journal.'
Ben reveals plans to make the app more user-friendly so 'anyone with only a basic IT knowledge can use and enjoy it.I would also like to make it more accessible to blind and partially-sighted users and people who don't speak English.Technology, especially mobile technology, is becoming so widely adopted that using it to improve health is a no-brainer.
Apps can help people manage their own health and wellness. They can promote healthy living and offer access to useful information where and when it's needed.'

text: Back to school and the end of summer. Back to having six hours of uninterrupted time in your day. Some parents seem to be happy, some sad. Factors such as work, vacation ability, the dynamics of your family and the ages or your children enter into your level of excitement about "back to school." This all got me thinking – What if our children had three vacations per year lasting four weeks, or four vacations per year lasting three weeks? Rather than one long vacation of twelve weeks? In other words, what would Year Round School do to our society and education? Over the past decade, many State Departments of Education have earnestly tried to reform education and raise student achievement. No Child Left Behind has been a failure, in 2010 Obama proposed an extension of the school day, receiving much resistance. Now we have the new Common Core State Standards. What we know is that countries having the world's highest student achievement like Japan, South Korea, Germany and New Zealand have more school days and fewer vacation days per year in comparison to the U.S. An absolute fact is that all of our children suffer summer learning loss. Different sources give slightly different percentages, although the conclusion shows a staggering amount of subject, even discipline loss.Teachers spend at least the first month of the new school year making up for this loss. "More than half of the achievement gap between lower and higher-income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities. As a result, low-income youth are less likely to graduate from high school or enter college." (Alexander, 2007). "Children lose more than academic knowledge over the summer. Most children, particularly children at high risk of obesity, gain weight more rapidly when they are out of school during summer break." (Von Hippel et al, 2007). Harris Cooper is a professor of education and psychology at Duke University. He has been researching school schedules for decades. Cooper says, "More frequent but shorter (school) breaks will lead to less learning loss and therefore teachers won't have to spend as much time reviewing material when kids come back to school." "With regards to fatigue, lots of teachers will tell you there's actually less fatigue when you have shorter, more frequent breaks." "Most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months. Low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement." Although discarding the long summer break would take away summer job opportunities for teenagers and childcare help might be more complicated, my conclusion is that the year round schedule could make a dent in closing the achievement gap between higher and lower-income students. Ultimately, it could be the greatest benefit to all of our students by giving the best opportunity to not only learn, but to retain the knowledge.

Open Thread: Talk About Food & Booze Right Here, Whenever You So Feel Like It
Here's your place to come talk about food & booze whenever you feel like it.
I haven't been feeling too great this past week and into the weekend. Blame it on the 'betes – my blood sugar went low on Friday and I've felt messed-up for a few days. So when I was cruising through the comments of last week's ROTW, the "Baked French Toast" stuck out; it was by the beloved Pioneer Woman, of course, but when I skimmed the ingredients, it was a short list. That spoke volumes. So, thank you, Toonces, for an exceptional request.
I've amended the original recipe a little – I just halved it, which isn't a big deal. Basically my ingredients are:
The topping:
This is also, I might add, a carb bomb (saying this out loud is very awkward, just FYI). So maybe it was a good thing that my blood sugar has been dipping low; after a dish like this, well, let's just say, thank you, modern medicine!
So, super easy: I tore up 1 and ½ baguette (she uses a large loaf so I thought baguette would help to cut in half), poured the liquidy whisked mixture all over it, created the topping and sprinkled it all over, baked for 45 minutes.
I don't know why I thought I should top this like a Belgian waffle. To be honest, I was just really feeling strawberries, but also, syrups tend to have a terrible effect on my body so I wanted to do something a little different. You do you, though. I remember, growing up, maple syrup on French toast was basically heaven in an eggy, tender little bite.
*stares off into space*
So, snapping out of it, I sliced some freshly sliced strawberries and piled a swoosh of whipped cream (no way was I making whipped cream after this weekend of lethargy — I just grabbed the Reddi Whip).
Et voila! As French as a Pioneer woman, I'm guessing.
Or, as French as another sweet, sweet dish creation (which is also not really French). Our apartment is a pie apartment, meaning we love to kick it with pies, and given that my boyfriend loves to make pies – one year I gave him Ken Haedrich's Pie, a book heavier than a pit bull and that quickly became the kitchen bible – I thought I'd share his latest recipe for Raspberry Cheesecake Pie. (This begs the question: Are all cheesecakes pie? Or are they cakes, like their name? I just read the answer: "…in short, a cheesecake is a pie. It can also be a cake, but it can't not be a pie." Ahhh yes, words to live by.)
Raspberry Cheesecake Pie
(Word to the wise: It's just so much easier to use store-bought or line your pie pan with graham cracker and butter, but if you like to make your own crusts, don't let nobody stop you, girl.)
Method: Roll together quickly, keep it cold and then line your pie pan. Cover with parchment and fill it with beans to keep its shape. 10 min at 425°. Take the beans and parchment out, and cook for an additional 15 - 20 minutes. Wait until the pie crust is completely cool before adding any filling!
Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the cheesecake — whip cream cheese, add the condensed milk and whip thoroughly. Then add one egg at a time, beating each one in completely. After beaten in, add the remaining ingredients. Cook at 325° for one hour, then chill for 4 hours before adding the topping.
Raspberry topping:
Smash 2 c raspberry until it is about 1 cup. Mix with 1 c of sugar, 3 tbsp corn starch and ½ c water in a sauce pan. Bring to boil, constantly stirring until the consistency is a bit like runny jam. Take off heat and continue stirring for 2 min. Cool completely.
Put an additional 3 cups of fresh raspberries on top.
So now that we've covered sugar shock, I want to know, what's your go-to dessert, either to make or to order? A tweeter recommended this raw and gluten-free vegan chocolate pecan pie, which sounds pretty solid. Mine is probably cheesecake, but I also have a wicked sweet tooth. Peanut butter and chocolate, forget it.
Damn you, pancreas!

On Oct. 16 the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation held two walks, one in Dutchess County and the other in Orange County. The Mustang Club volunteered their time to help in the food area during the walk in Orange County.

It's a confession. Self-absorbed says it all. Not so much that it's all about me, just spending way too much time and energy on how "me" is doing. How do I look? How's my weight? Should I cut my hair? Should I meet a man? How will I support myself? Worries and questions are like a drumbeat within.

Born of Water; Born of Spirit
Posted in Lent, tagged born of spirit, born of water, Christ, God, heaven, holiness, Holy Spirit, Jesus, presence, Spirit of God on March 13, 2017| Leave a Comment »
I'm not sure why I've been so dense about this scripture for so long. Did everyone get this and me just today? Sigh.
Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." [John 3:5-8, NIV]
For some reason, I always associated being born of water as baptism. It is one of those symbolic acts that we are encouraged to do, from death to life kind of thing. In some churches, it is even mandated.
But today, I just realized that we are all born of water. I mean, human beings are born of water through the womb (hint: water breaking and all that). We are all the same in this way: humankind. We are all born with tremendous potential for all things possible in our three dimensional, time-constrained world.
However, how are we born of the Spirit? Is this that conversion experience when we accept Christ? That's certainly an implication from scripture but I'm thinking some careful study might be good here as well. But accepting the reality of Jesus and the reality of the Holy Spirit, may only be the starting point. I think there is also a revelation of spirit that is needed. The Spirit is all around us. Heaven is all around us, for lack of a better term for that "other." It is not a place as we know place.
Being born of the Spirit requires a certain relinquishing the body, not being so concerned about its state of affairs, recognizing the fleeting nature of the body, and cherishing instead the spirit within whose true home is heaven, with God and in God and through God.
Our spirit birth can be easy or difficult. We make it less difficult by practicing the ways of Jesus and thereby manifesting the "fruits" of Spirit. We agree to the paradoxes of going the extra mile, loving our enemies, and praying for those who persecute. We give thanks in all circumstances, for they are too are merely a moment. We journey the life of the flesh in anticipation of the birth in the spirit.
Can we dwell in the spirit now? Not really, but we can engage there through the Holy Spirit and in our relationship to God. Prayer is a key component and being still and meditating. These are ways to center down into those places. Sometimes, in worship, we are experience the Presence. The more self-less we are, the more likely to enter that Place.
Spirit of the Living God, breathe on me.
Why Lent?
Posted in Lent, tagged celebration of discipline, Christ, contemplative prayer, divine hours, fasting, Holy Spirit, Lent, liturgy on March 1, 2017| 5 Comments »
People are often surprised that I engage in the practice of Lent. Traditionally Lent is part of more mainline denominations and particularly "high church" or liturgical worship. How did this charismatic, "praise the Lord" believer come to Lent?
Part of the reason can be traced back to a few years I spent in a Reformed Episcopal Church. The priest of that congregation was a neighbor and engaging and after a broken experience in our previous church, we needed to rest. At first, the weekly liturgy seemed dry and unyielding. But over time, the words themselves began to unfold and they became a musical meditation to my heart and soul. It was during this time that I began to study and investigate the role of contemplative prayer and other practices like fasting, etc. At this church, we marked and walked the church calendar with an understanding that we were joining millions of others doing the same. The meaning of "our" Father became more real to me.
After I left this church, I continued my interest in the wider Church and its rhythms. I discovered another form of prayer called "keeping the hours" which was daily prayer and liturgical readings at fixed times during the day. So now I had a combined sense of the yearly pattern as well as a daily structure. Many would find this confining but I discovered a river that flowed beneath the practice and discipline.
I would be lying if I said I held to these faithfully year after year, I did not and have not, but there are seasons that I long for that rhythm again, that pulsing of the Spirit's heartbeat within. I cannot experience this in contemporary worship services. Those have a different flavor, a joyfulness and a passion. I am that too.
And so, I balance my personal worship by choosing the 40 days of Lent, to slow down my body and my mind, to listen, to breathe, to flow in that river. It takes a while to find my way again. And so I fast or re-engage with fixed hours of prayer, or sit quietly.
Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent and the next 40 weekdays (including Saturdays) are the days assigned to re-connecting with our inner life in Christ.
I invite my readers to come along with me and let us see what God will reveal.
Holy Spirit: Here and Not Here
Posted in Hillsong Ministry School, Ordinary Time, tagged charismatic, faith, Hillsong Ministry, Holy Spirit, hope, I Corinthians 12, love on February 15, 2017| Leave a Comment »
Theology of the Holy Spirit is vast. Bigger than anything I could know or understand fully, but I can speak to my own experience and thereby, hopefully fulfill the essence of the Hillsong homework assignment.
The basics about the Holy Spirit are found in Acts 1:4-8 and Acts 2:1-13. The first passage carries the promise of Holy Spirit from Jesus Himself and the second passage describes the Holy Spirit's appearance and "baptism" of the believers gathered there. We are told that the Holy Spirit is a gift and a source of power, and ultimately the resource for activities of believers from that day forth and forever. The first expression of that baptism was speaking in other tongues (not glossolalia at this point, but truly other languages). And why? To reach as many people as possible with the news: the Holy Spirit is here.
This anointing impassioned the believers with confidence to tell their story, to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ, and the Presence of God's Kingdom. The message was (and still is) that Jesus is who He says He was and that the sacrifice of the Messiah's blood (our deliverer) was a restitution for the sins and separation of humankind from God – then and forever.
I Corinthians 12 (written by Paul) outlines a variety manifestations beginning with vs 4:
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
And goes on to articulate gifts of wisdom, knowledge, healings, speaking in tongues, and so forth. At the end of the chapter, Paul lists some of the roles that can manifest by the Presence of the Holy Spirit operating freely in a believer. But then, in I Corinthians 13, the greatest gifts of the Holy Spirit are recounted: faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love.
But this teaching was not available to the early church, not until the Apostle Paul, a learned man, had his own Holy Spirit experience and filled the ultimate command of Christ to reach out beyond the borders of Judea and Israel. He was the one who trusted Jesus at his Word to reach to the ends of the earth, the ends of their civilization. Before that, they lived communally and lovingly, they surrendered to the way of nonviolence, they shared the teachings and stories they heard from Jesus (for it was wholly an oral tradition), and they opened their doors to seekers. They were also persecuted. But they persisted nonetheless.
My own encounter with the Holy Spirit began a month or two after my confession and surrender to Jesus. My "mentor," a rather unlikely evangelist in my acting class, encouraged me to ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Back in the 70's, that was the trend, with an expectation of miracles, particularly the gift of tongues (now called glossolalia). As a previous "new ager," I was pretty much game for anything that smacked of "woo-woo."
When I prayed, nothing happened for several days. No tongues, no nothin.'
One day, I came home to my apartment from school, and as I entered the door, I literally experienced a whoosh of air, as though someone had opened a skylight. I dropped my bags and my hands reached up (a gesture which I was not aware at the time was common among the charismatics and their worship). I cried with a kind of joy. And I wanted to sing and praise too. But I had no history of songs to God. The only song that came to mind was the one I learned one summer at a friend's Vacation Bible School, "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. . . " I sang that song as I walked around my apartment for 45 minutes. Ecstatic. Drenched in the Holy Spirit.
Later, when I shared my experience with my friend, he immediately asked about Tongues, for that was his church tradition. No tongues, no baptism. I was a bit crushed but decided to press along without his opinion. I knew what I knew and I knew what I felt. I was on fire for my God and my faith in Christ and the Presence of the Holy Spirit.
Within a few days, I did have a language experience but not what anyone expected. My background is Latvian. I grew up in a Latvian home and it was spoken predominately by my parents until my father's death when I was 9. After that, our family slowly drifted away from the Latvian community and I began losing my Latvian language. By the end of my twenties, I could barely hold a conversation. But one day, in the throes of my ecstatic prayer time, I began to pray fluidly and completely in Latvian. I engaged with God in the language of my human father (who never learned much English), and I experienced a healing and transfer of love from my lost father to my heavenly Father.
Like the early believers in Acts, I too was un-churched. I did not know what was normal or not. I simply told everyone I met my story. I was a most improbable convert and several of my classmates recognized my transformation as God's alone and they too reached out to Christ anew.
That was more than 38 years ago. Who is the Holy Spirit for me now?
Over the years, I have experienced many physical manifestations from being "slain in the spirit," to "prophecy" and "words of knowledge." I have (and still do on occasion) speak in Tongues and I have prayed over/with people whose lives were changed. No healings as far as I know.
Today, the Holy Spirit is speaking to me more mystically than ever. I believe that Christianity is filled with paradox from turning the other cheek to going the extra mile. In the same way, I believe the Holy Spirit is within and without, here and not here. We cannot describe the Holy Spirit for that world is simply not us, not 3-D, not constrained by time or flesh. And for this reason, Holy Spirit is an intimate partner with our own personal spirit, able to direct, console, comfort, and teach. Holy Spirit can manifest physically — or not.
Holy Spirit is breath and no breath. Just as God is the great I AM, so IS the Holy Spirit.
Not Just Any Sacrifice
Posted in Hillsong Ministry School, Ordinary Time, tagged Christ, God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, living sacrifice, love, prayer, service, worship on October 4, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. [Romans 12:1-2, NIV]
Me, my body, my person, a sacrifice, but not unto death, no, that's a very different thing. In some ways, to sacrifice one's life and to die for something is amazing and total renunciation, but let's face it, once and done. Is that crass? I'm not trying to be, honestly, but I keep pondering this living sacrifice concept and I'm seeing a lot of time involved here and commitment and ongoing surrender in the midst of daily life. It's re-framing everything. It's a state of mind of "otherness" where God's way, no matter how we might disagree or misunderstand or hedge, is to be submitted to completely. God is God all the time. And of course, then, it makes sense to call this one direction, worship. It's total mindfulness, Presence, and prayer.
In our not so distant past, there were "people of the cloth" (clergy, nuns, priests, and so on), who entered their calling with these words emblazoned on their hearts. And although this may still be true, there is a new trend where people of all walks of life are being called into a more consuming surrender.
Am I there yet? Not even close.
I have had a few supernatural immersions into the heart of God. My most memorable was over 20 years ago, and yet it has stayed with me as a very sweet memory and experience. A friend once told me that God often gives us glimpses of the kingdom of God, that we might get a taste of heaven and "see" God. To make a long story much shorter, this was a time of intense study and fasting when I lived alone in a cabin in the woods for a short season. My heart was seeking the "secret place" and I found it. I was mesmerized. I experienced a peace that passes all understanding. I walked in trust. I entered into comprehension and walked in that peace for . . . wait for it . . . a week. Yah. Only a week.
So the question remains: Do I really hold back from God, this living sacrifice? I do. Even after all this time. Not in every area. I'm pretty good in the tithe area, at least for standard income and I do volunteer. But, am I so close to God that I check in before I fill in that calendar square? Not so much. They say one's calendar reflects one's sacrifices of time to who or whatever appears the most.
As a somewhat artistic type, there's always a type of tension when it comes to dedicating one's time to the traditional things of God. Let's face it, everything I write isn't straight-up Godly or spiritual, but the process itself, the flow of words from inspiration to thought to words on screen or paper, that process (especially when it's flowing) feels Spirit touched. Or taking and processing photographs, or cooking a meal, or making something for someone else, or acting/directing; these all have moments of giving. I can remember back in my early years of faith when I so wanted to be "all in" for Jesus and a popular Christian teacher of the day pronounced my love and work in theater as unacceptable to God, in fact, he believed all performance was out since it was too close to edifying self instead of God. I was crushed. I avoided my love for doing theater for quite a while. But that wasn't me either.
So here's where I have landed on this score. It's probably not 100% right, if there is such a thing as a right/wrong in this discussion. I am more about my heart being surrendered to God. I am convinced that the more doors (particularly those secret ones) I open to the work of the Holy Spirit, the more my life will reflect Christ in me so that no matter what I do or where I am, I am in a state of service to God. And how do those doors open? Prayer, meditation, self-examination, and selfless serving (giving of time and energy). The church is the easiest place to serve but it's not the only place (e.g. the mission field, the soup kitchen, hospitals, shelters, emergencies, etc.). Generally, it's the church that creates opportunities to serve, that's the point.
And because it's directed outward, whatever it is, in the name of God, there is an element of worship present. But if our acts of service or whatever, lose the focus, it becomes self-serving.

Devotional writing is a state of mind, heart, and soul. It's not something that can be drummed up out of a dry hole. And so it has been with me. Like Hezekiah, I cry out to God, "Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." [Isaiah 38:3, NIV], But what was before is not enough. Devotion to God is daily and present. Like mindfulness, it is in the now.
Oh my soul, sing again in the place of praise to God alone.
Today is not the kind of day I'd expect a rekindled desire to be with God to overwhelm me. My day ahead is a busy day, a hot steamy day, with a pile of responsibilities. And yet, God broke through the mind clutter. Come to me.
My prayer, a simple one. Keep me in the light of your Presence oh God. Speak into my inmost being, Christ Jesus. Fill me with endurance and promise, Holiest Spirit. Breathe on me and in me.
Necessary Thing
Posted in Daniel Fast, Lent, tagged Daniel Fast, Easter, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Lent, Martha, Mary, silence, simplicity, Solitude on March 7, 2016| 2 Comments »
Having been a Martha type most of my life, it takes some strong intention on my part to return to the "one necessary thing." In our Lenten devotional, the word for this week is Service and the first meditation is on Mary and Martha and I am reminded again, that service must come out of devotion or burn-out comes next.
The Lord answered, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things. One thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the better part. It won't be taken away from her." [Luke 10:41-42, CEB]
A group of us at the church are participating in the Daniel Fast for the next 21 days, right up to Easter Sunday. And although there's a lot of talk about the foods and food preparation (basically vegan – very Martha), the essence of it needs to be Mary, or the entire process becomes another diet or fad.
Clearly, we clutter our bodies with junk food & drink in the same way that we clutter our minds with noise, screens, and distraction. Where we can cleanse our bodies by changing our diet, it seems harder to clear our minds. This is one of the reasons why we all need times of solitude and silence. We need to stop multi-tasking and instead, put our single focus on God, on Christ, on the Holy Spirit, on the Word. Pick. Be. Rest.
In the journey toward simplicity, the questions that must be answered over and over again are, "do I need this?" or "do I love this?" Having just been through my first downsize, I practiced these questions quite a bit. Nonetheless, and despite giving away over 35 boxes of book, I still have eight shelving units filled with the books that remained. It's a process. But I am getting better at it. Triage.
And I'm thinking this same process happens in the mind and spirit. Do I need think about this right now? Do I love contemplating upon this? Is it edifying or destructive? Will this practice move me closer to God?

He is the classic character who always fix the stuff and the one who creates the cool gadgets for fighting. He is a techie, a cool inventor and somehow his gear always saves the day. I wanted to gave him a rough look, as if he is always prepared to fix something.
Character Design
Character design: Sci-fi Armored Hero
Character Design
This character was born as a quick sketch but then it came to me as a sequence of him fighting in a massive futuristic battle so I decided to gave the design a second chance. I started him as a cyborg, with no visual clues of that on the first sketch. Later on, I made him to wear the armor instead of being made of it, making a mix between Ironman and Megaman, two of my favorite metallic heroes. Either way, I need to think if I'm going to do something with it, as the sequence of the futuristic fight is still fresh on my mind.
Artwork: Colored sci-fi characters
Character Design
Here are a few character designs made just as practice to get better with my style. They're all sci-fi guys, some more spacial and the others more cyberpunk. Either way, here is a glimpse to my art process: The penciled characters and the digital colored final version. Something that I enjoy to do is to change the color line of the artwork and to add a few simple textures to the characters. Somehow I like the rough and crude look they all have.
Sci-Fi cartoon character designs
Character Design
Here are some cartoon sci fi style character designs as part of some concepts that I'm doing for fun. They may end up in some of my short stories or not, but I'm glad that they are flowing. I liked a lot the coloring style on these, with a little texture and not that much detail. Also, I love how the original pencil sketch can be seen on the final piece. Anyway, I would show you more designs like this on the future.
Character design: Archaeologists
Character Design
Playing a little with some ideas similar to the cartoon explorers of this recent post, I decided to try my hand on drawing some archaeologists. There is always the experimented one, who knows how to proceed on the ruins, while the expert on ancient languages talks to the intrepid one, who likes to get into the most unexplored places.
Cartoon character concepts: Adventure Explorers
Character Design, Concept Art
I have been working on some character designs for a company who wants to have an explorer for mascot. You'll see that design later when we finish the project, but what I can say is that these human characters has nothing to do with the final art. They are just warmup designs that I did to loosen up a bit and to get into the Indiana Jones mood. here you can find the rookie, the seasoned one and the expert who knows how to hunt.
Character design: Mexican Dia de Muertos Calaveras
Character Design
I been working on this "cartoonist" simple style and I'm really happy with the results. Right now, because of the November's Day of the dead (dia de muertos) festivities, I decided to draw some "calaveritas de dulce" (candy skulls), that are part of this mexican tradition. I wanted to portray some modern mexican people and a happy skull dog as funny skeletons.
If you want to see more, here is my cartoon calavera character from 2011.
Character Design: El Conde spanish vampire
Character Design
This cartoon vampire count is a monster who likes the good "wine" and eat chistorra when on his castle outsides a small town from Spain called Santamaria de los milagros (clearly a fictitious place, hehe). He loves gypsy's blood because he finds it more tasty and flavored.
… This character is based on this cartoon spanish vampire count that I did back in 2006 as part as a series of characters for halloween and día de muertos. I know how the old style looks so "Hanna-Barbera", so I had to experiment with his face a lot.

As a result, Trenbolone Acetate now functions as the primary anabolic compound (aka the 'workhorse' compound) that will function to provide the muscle growth throughout the cycle. Trenbolone is strictly an advanced level anabolic steroid, unfit for use by beginners of any type. In this cycle, the Acetate variant of Trenbolone is utilized simply due to its seamless compatibility with Testosterone Propionate. This is because the Propionate and Acetate esters as, previously mentioned early on in this section of the profile, both possess almost identical half-lives (3 days for Trenbolone Acetate and days for Testosterone Propionate). This therefore provides an ease of convenience for the user, as well as smoother injection and administration frequencies. The fact that Testosterone is being utilized at a low enough doses to avoid aromatization, combined with the fact that Trenbolone's inability to convert into Estrogen at any dose should result in the total elimination of any potential water retention, bloating, gynecomastia or any side effects associated with Estrogen . It is important to note that this cycle in particular is strong enough to be utilized as a bulking cycle, lean mass cycle, or cutting cycle – all without the inflated potential for water retention or other Estrogenic side effects .
Injectable steroids are injected into muscle tissue, not into the veins. They are slowly released from the muscles into the rest of the body, and may be detectable for months after last use. Injectable steroids can be oil-based or water-based. Injectable anabolic steroids which are oil-based have longer half-life than water-based steroids. Both steroid types have much longer half-lives than oral anabolic steroids. And this is proving to be a drawback for injectables as they have high probability of being detected in drug screening since their clearance times tend to be longer than orals. Athletes resolve this problem by using injectable testosterone early in the cycle then switch to orals when approaching the end of the cycle and drug testing is imminent.

Artist: Swans
Album: The Glowing Man
Genre: Post-Rock
Date: 2016
Sound: More dark and noisy goodness from Michael Gira and co
Cool Stuff: If you've ever read anything on TRR, you know I'm a big fan of Swans. The band, not the bird, but animal swans are cool too I guess. Anyway, I appreciate any band that approaches music as a true art form, and Swans certainly are daring in their quest. The final album of the trilogy that began with The Seer and will culminate the end of their current lineup, The Glowing Man is just as mind-bending as ever, but might be the easiest to handle of the three. That's right, Swans isn't always easy to listen to, but always worthwhile.

Wedding | Kim & Riley
June 25, 2013 • Leave a Comment
At the beginning of June I was able to travel to Grunthal to join Kim and Riley for a fun filled day! The moment I heard that the two of them had picked the date for their wedding out of a hat, I knew that it was going to be a day filled with adventures. And that was exactly what it was. Everything from their surprise entrance, walking along stones by the river, dodging cow dung in a field, and jumping on a trampoline. Kim and Riley are couple filled with love, joy, and a sense of adventure! All the best to the two of you! And thank-you for sharing your fun filled day with me!
