Feeling hungry? Why eating lunch away from the desk is best.
Original Source: http://greatist.com/health/eat-lunch-away-computer
Playing Scrabble online with friends or stalking an old flame on Facebook can be totally addicting. But recent research suggests zoning out in front of the computer during lunch might actually lead to overeating [1]. So stop checking those status updates (c'mon, fess up!) and consider focusing on that yummy salad or sammy instead!
Gimme a break — Why it matters
Americans spend an average of eight and a half hours a day staring at their computer screens, TVs, and cell phones. So take a break at lunch! Research suggests that extra screen time could wreak havoc on the eyes — and maybe even the waistline [1] [3]. In one study, subjects who played Solitaire on a computer while chowing down reported feeling less full than non-distracted participants. The computer gamers also ate nearly twice as much when presented when a post-lunch snack [1].
Spending too much time in front of the computer can also contribute to eye problems like computer vision syndrome, which can cause pesky symptoms likeeye strain, blurred vision, and light sensitivity [3]. Powering down mid-day can have some social benefits, too. Studies suggest people who regularly socialize with others (and no, email doesn't count!) display better cognitive function — just from chatting it up with friends [6].
Living in a technology-obsessed culture makes it hard to step away from the screen, even for meals. But it's important to have some computer, cell phone and television-free hours every day. When lunchtime rolls around, try taking a walk outdoors(fresh air — ahhh!), or getting together some co-workers for a team lunch. Interacting with real live people may seem foreign in the world of texting and Twitter, but studies show communal eating can contribute to a happier mood and healthier meal [7].
Need another reason to focus on food and only food during lunch? In another study, researchers found that food-focused diners showed enhanced "meal memory," (damn, that turkey sandwich was good!), which kept them feeling satisfied longer [8]. Subjects who were asked to read a newspaper while eating, by contrast, had more trouble keeping their hands out of the cookie jar after lunch [8].
The takeaway
Turn the computer, phone, and TV off during lunchtime to prevent overeating and unnecessary eye strain. Instead of chowing down while perusing Facebook, meet friends or coworkers for a lunch date or enjoy nature by dining al fresco in a local park.

Artist's Profile
A course of painting classes from Peter Brown, former Elam University tutor, led to Ion pursuing painting as a career. Success with painting exhibitions encouraged Ion to concentrate on a full time painting career. For more than 30 years Ion has developed his painting skills to produce many sucessful solo exhibitions.
In 1987 Ion was privileged to be appointed Official artist to the New Zealand Army. This commission continued until 1997. During this decade Ion was fortunate to travel widely with the Army to record its History in many of its fields of operation, and to record the 75th Anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign and also the 50th Anniversaries of many of the Second World War battles. The Major work during his commission was The Battle of Chunuk Bair which now hangs in the Parliament building.
Ion has continued to pursue his own style, and passionately enjoys painting New Zealand's people going about their work and leisure, and capturing the special light and atmosphere that our New Zealand landscape provides.
Army Artist
1987 - 1997
At the beginning of my service as New Zealand Army Artist my knowledge of New Zealand's history was very thin. My father died in the Second World War near Florence when I was not yet 2 years old. My Mother re-married and not a lot was spoken about WW2, it seemed like that for many families.
I remember the ANZAC days as a holiday, when old men marched down the main street (I being but a boy), and as I grew older so did they ... always older men, marching down the street.
It was not until I was given the honour and opportunity to paint for the New Zealand Army, and in particular the painting of 'The Battle of Chunuk Bair' at Gallipoli that my ignorance of New Zealand's history became apparent to me. It was decided that to mark the occasion of New Zealand's Sesquicentennial and the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Chunuk Bair, a painting should be commissioned by N.Z. Defence Force as a gift to the Nation, and I was asked to paint it. This started a learning curve for me that has not stopped - who are we - where we came from - and where we are going ?
During my ten years as Army Artist I had the opportunity to travel to Greece, Crete, Egypt, Turkey and Italy to depict the commemorations of the 50th anniversaries of New Zealands involvements during WW2.
The withdrawal of our base from Singapore gave the opportunity to portray the many aspects of the life of New Zealand soldiers, their official functions and the everyday association with the people of Singapore and Malaysia. Painting New Zealand Army's presence in Bosnia and Antarctica; exercises around New Zealand; portraits, banner parades and ceremonies; the diversity and challenge of these subjects; meeting, living and working among the wide family of the Army was an experience that most Artists can only dream of.
I always had the utmost assistance and support from all ranks and well informed historians, their knowledge and expertise was invaluable and I could not have done without them.
The New Zealand Army's history is New Zealand's history and I am proud to have been part of it. Subjects that I have painted have already been relegated to history, and as this process continues it is important for a lasting record to be produced.

What is hemp milk?
Hemp milk is a delightful, nutrient-rich beverage made from ground hemp seeds. Some people are concerned that there may be some residual THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in the hemp milk they consume. Others are concerned that there is not enough residual THC in the hemp milk they consume. Sadly, for the latter group, the hemp milk-based smoothie is not going to be a good source of mind-expanding chemical compounds.
Health benefits?
The internet says that hemp milk is a great vegan source for omega-3 and 6 and essential amino acids. One random website I found says that it's a great source of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus (which is great for your lawn). Another reports that it's well-endowed with B12, which is basically essential to human life and is a bitch to find in plant-based food! If all that is not enough, rest assured that Dr. Oz loves hemp milk.
Why did Soup Peddler start offering hemp milk as an add-in?
The Soup Peddler himself felt that hemp milk was the most sustainable and healthful choice to add to the smoothie lubrication arsenal. Since hemp itself is a far more sustainable crop than almonds, we wanted to promote the choice of hemp milk over almond milk.
Which smoothies would taste good with hemp milk?
It has a pronounced nutty and creamy flavor, so we would recommend it in the more savory and less fruity smoothies… think more Green Monster, less Tropicalia.

Feb. 12, 2005
MILFORD, CT (February 12) - Peter Ferraro (Pleasantville, NY) and Pierre-Luc O'Brien (Nicolet, QC) both scored a goal and picked up an assist to lead Sacred Heart (12-15-1, 12-5-1 AHA) past a pesky American International Yellow Jacket (3-19-2, 3-13-2 AHA) team to move into sole possession of first place in Atlantic Hockey.
It would be the Yellow Jackets who would open up the scoring, netting only goal of the first period. Freshman Jereme Tendler scored his eighth goal of the season, tipping in a pass from Greg Genovese on a delayed penalty to put AIC up at the 12:42 mark. The Pioneers, despite registering 15 shots on goal in the first period, were unable to solve Yellow Jacket net minder Frank Novello which allowed AIC to take a 1-0 lead into the locker room.
The Pioneers would start a four-goal second period on Garrett Larson's (Rycroft, AB) ninth goal of the season coming on the power play. The play started behind the net with Rocco Molinaro (Dearborn, MI) finding O'Brien in front. O'Brien touched a pass to Larson who sent the puck home for his first power play goal of the season just 4:58 in.
The Pioneers would score the eventual game-winner less than a minute later with the teams skating four a side. Ferraro gathered the puck after a Drew Sanders (Modesto, CA) face off win, and beat Novello for the 2-1 lead. Sacred Heart would then add goals from Chris Connerty (Rayham, MA) and O'Brien before the period was out to give the Pioneers a 4-1 lead heading into the third period.
AIC would have opportunities to cut into the SHU lead in the third period, including an extended five-on-three power play, but Pioneer goalie Jason Smith (St. Lambert, QC) stopped them at every turn to preserve the 4-1 victory. Smith would finish the night with 25 saves picking up the win, while Novello stopped 38 in taking the loss.
The Pioneers return to action on Friday, February 18 when they host the Holy Cross Crusaders at the Milford Ice Pavilion. Game time is 7:00 PM.

Memories from fishing on the flats
It was cold, really cold, on Saturday morning, 7 o'clock, March 18, as Connell Stafford, our guide, Travis Harper, and I motored, in an open boat, out the mouth of the Altamaha River at Two Way Fish Camp, into the ocean flats, surrounded by many of Georgia's treasures, its fields of marsh grass, its historic islands, and its earliest history.
I had on lots of clothes, lots of clothes, but with the wind whipping me in the face and with the temperature in the upper 30s or low 40s, it was cold. As I sat in the bottom of the boat with my back to the wind and with my eyes closed, my thoughts were not of discomfort, but warm memories of fishing trips past and people who made these parts of my life so unforgettable.
I never go to the flats that I don't think of Cedar Keys, Florida, and one of my favorite people of all times, Edgar "Yellow Legs" Campbell. He guided my fishing companions and me many times. Sometimes we caught fish and sometimes we didn't, but we always had fun. "Yellow" saw to it with his keen wit, sharp mind and constant chatter and showing us that catching fish was just a bonus to the trip.
Funny, but I thought of Charlie Howell from Macon, now deceased, with whom I never went on a fishing trip but one time. Charlie took Hilt Gray's place. Mr. Hilt was a late cancellation, so I called Charlie and he went with us. Billy Bledsoe, Seabie Hickson, Charlie Howell and me.
This is true and a good story, but space limitations require brevity. The bottom line: Billy and I, with our guide, caught 130 Speckled Trout, all legal, and Seabie and Charlie, with their guide, caught 90, all legal, out of Shell Island in Florida. It's the most we ever caught in one day. But, 35 or 40 years later, it was Charlie Howell about whom I was thinking on that recent cold Saturday morning.
I also thought about Alan Branch, gentleman and guide extraordinary, his wonderful son, Bobby, and his kind and gentle wife, Kitty, and the fun we had fishing out of the Yellow Bluff on the Georgia Coast. This was in the same part of the ocean where we were fishing this past cold Saturday. There were others, Glen Bryant and Charlie Jones, Hinesville folks, who helped provide the hospitality and coolers of beautiful Georgia shrimp as we turned from the coast back toward Middle Georgia with our memory making trip ended.
Ben Porter, another southern gentlemen and someone who was easy to be around, was also on my mind as we motored toward Little St. Simons last week. Ben had money and many material things, but he also had the common touch and too many real friends to count. Lots of folks have style, but not nearly as many have class. Ben Porter had class. I wish I could go spend one more night at Ben's place on the Georgia coast and go fishing with him in his big, fine boat one more time. Unfortunately, it can't happen.
Time marches on, and as Daddy used to say, "The days get longer and the years get shorter." And, so it is. And with far too many, memories of them is all we have. Perhaps it was the cold weather and the waters in which we were fishing, but that wonderful, blistering cold morning (much colder than last Saturday morning) that I spent with Tom Murphy in a small boat in a "creek" at high tide on St. Catherine's Island fishing for and catching many, many red fish was another memory that made me both happy and sad, and all of this as Travis, Connell and I motored to where Travis thought we could catch fish (and we did).
Billy Bledsoe. Seabie Hickson. Hilt Gray. Glea Gray. James Moore. Bryant Culpepper. Daddy. Grandbuddy. Alan Branch. Bobby Branch. Kitty Branch. Charlie Jones. Glen Bryant. Jerry Horton. Jerry Wilson. Horace Evans. Charlie Howell. Felton Jenkins. Larry, III. Wendy Walker Way. Russell Walker. John Gray Walker. Janice Walker. Connell Stafford. Buddy DeLoach. Foster Rhodes. Yellow. Travis Harper.
And, for all those who have enriched my life while fishing on the flats, I'll try to remember you next time, just like I hope some will remember me.
By the way, we caught about 25 specs, eight were keepers, but we kept just four. When we got back to the fish camp, Travis cleaned four, the local restaurant, Mudcat Charlie's, cooked them, furnished "two sides" in addition to hush puppies, and a drink and for $8 a plate. It was delicious and we made more memories.
I can't believe I've finished this and haven't even mentioned Suwannee, Horseshoe Point, and Steinhatchee, three other great fishing villages. Also, St. Marys, another good place on the Georgia coast. Lots of good memories of these great places.

francine j. harris
2017 Winner of the Lambda Literary Awards
2017 Winner of the Publishing Triangle Award
2017 Nominee for 2017 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Poetry
"francine j. harris's poems are tenderized: they not only insist upon their embodiment, they punch, howl, beat, and bleed their way into being."
—Boston Review
April 2016
Available in print.
francine j. harris is a 2015 NEA Creative Writing Fellow whose first collection, allegiance, was a finalist for the 2013 Kate Tufts Discovery and PEN Open Book Award. Originally from Detroit, she is also Cave Canem fellow who has lived in several cities before returning to Michigan. She received an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Michigan, and currently teaches writing at Interlochen Center for the Arts.
Additional Praise:
"…The poems in [play dead] provide scrappy, cunning, and inventive methods of survival."
—Drunken Boat
"This book talks smack. This book chews with its open mouth full of the juiciest words, the most indigestible images. This book undoes me. In play dead, francine j. harris brilliantly ransacks the poet's toolkit, assembling art from buckets of disaster and shreds of hope. Nothing she lays her mind's eye on escapes. You, too, will be captured by her work."
—Evie Shockley
"I mean, beautiful is part of it—woundingly, shreddingly, frighteningly beautiful. But it's more than that. I feel like these are poems that crowbar open the sealed-up worlds of our hurt and let some light in. And that's only part of it too. What francine j. harris does with language—diction, syntax, the line, the image—is unlike almost anything I know. I'm saying, they re-imagine and re-deploy language in an almost unspeakable way. I read these poems with my eyes and brain, I'm saying, but I read them with my heart and my gut, too. With my neck and the stuff between my vertebrae. My fingernails. I think you have to. I read these poems not knowing they were possible, I'm saying. Thinking stuff like my god. Do you know what I'm saying?"
—Ross Gay
"Whatever francine j. harris is writing about—whether her mother or Detroit, sex or addiction—I love the vitality of her language, the sense of joy and tumble inherent to her poems. Her mind has a figurative ease akin to drawing breath, a way of seeing that is unmistakably hers. She reminds me that, in trying to perceive the world anew, all poets are attempting to praise, to show us the worth of life as it is, or as it could be. This is an exciting book by a dynamic and insightful poet."
—Bob Hicok
"[harris uses] her long lists and quick cuts to portray a young woman in flight from herself; at the same time, her figurative language can rise into confidence, showing exactly how and why '[s]he wants to set the house ablaze.'"
—Academy of American Poets
"harris's visual kinesis can be so intensely acrobatic and explosive, reading her can makes me rethink just how and why for thousands of years we have linked poetry to the body."
—Adam Fitzgerald, Lit Hub
". . . harris risks all with a collection that's raw and punchy as a street fight. . . . Portrayed in searing, relentless language, the world here is an edgy and dangerous place, where families are splintered, sex and violence grind against each other, and 'nothing is safe./ any corner could be a cement truck. or a gun.'"
—Library Journal
". . . play dead challenges us in the way that only the most daring poetry can."
—Michigan Radio, NPR

A Guide to Belgian Days in Riga
Marta Dzene
The Belgian Embassy in Riga is proud to announce the "Belgian Days in Riga" event, which takes place between 14 and 24 November. During these days everybody will have possibility to attend a variety of events ranging from Comic Strip contest, short film preview, design exhibition, culinary workshops, special Belgian menus, to classical painting exhibitions and baroque music concerts. They all will be devoted to Belgian culture and cuisine.
The main goal of "Belgian Days in Riga" is to make Belgian culture, traditions more visible in Latvia and strengthen the cooperation between our two countries-Latvia and Belgium.
Belgian Ambassador to Latvia, Mr. Frank Arnauts, tells Arterritory.com why Belgium's relationship with Latvia is important, and which Belgian Days (BD) event definitely shouldn't be missed.
Why are BD being held this autumn?
It is all about good old friends meeting up again.
The relationship between Latvia and Belgium – in particular, between their port cities – has been quite intense for many centuries. This was not only the case during the Hansa period, but also during the decades after the independence of Latvia – during the 20s and 30s of the last century, when Belgium was among Latvia's top five trading partners.
History will prove that the decades of lesser contact, which occurred after the Second World War, were only an exception, and that our bilateral relationship is now as thriving as ever, and at all levels.
The "Belgian Days in Riga" are organized to demonstrate how good and intense our relations are, and we want to make sure that we keep up the momentum. I am convinced that promoting our cultural image will not only boost exchanges between cultural spheres, but also people to people contacts, in general. And if we know each other better, I am sure that we will also do more business with each other, which is also good for growth and jobs.
Which events would you suggest to Arterritory.com readers to attend?
Since these are the first "Belgian Days in Riga" since 1926, they will start with a shot of designer adrenaline. We are wholeheartedly welcoming De Invasie / Riga (The Invasion) and their warriors, who are eager to conquer Riga. De Invasie is a dynamic platform in Belgium that supports young Flemish designers. Together with the team "Sampling", they will bring strong Belgian design talent to the capital of Latvia. They call themselves Warriors because that is what they are – fierce and ready to show their powerful creations to the world.
The exhibition at the Latvian Academy of Art contains young Flemish fashion, graphic design, illustration, jewelry … mostly emerging talent, but also two well-known Belgian fashion design offices.
The Riga Bourse Museum will host two great exhibitions. The major one, titled "Parallels and Impressions", will illustrate the influence of Belgian art on Latvian art during the 20s and 30s of the last century. Key in this process was the collection of paintings which Lazdiņš, the Latvian Ambassador in Brussels at the time, assembled as a model for the development of a national Latvian art scene.
As an annex to "Parallells and Impressions", and also my personal pet project, is a special exhibition devoted to the Bourse's collection of the works of Armand Rassenfosse, who was, apparently, a favorite of Ambassador Lazdiņš as well. A century ago, Rassenfosse was a famous portrait painter of female beauty – often of "femme fatales" – which is also the title of the exhibition.
As part of the Bach Festival, the world-famous baroque choir Collegium Vocale Gent, conducted by Philippe Van Herreweghe, will perform. I am particularly happy that the concert will take place in the charming St. John's Church, which I think is the best venue for classical music in Riga.
Taking into account that Belgium is a leading comic strip nation, we then had the idea that we should also do something for the promotion of comic strip culture in Latvia. So, in partnership with Kusj and the Belgian Luxembourg Latvian Business Club, we organized a grand Comic Strip Competition on the theme of "Brussels sprouts". Much to our surprise and delight, 77 Latvian artists between the ages of 16 and 50 participated. An exhibition of the ten best works is on display on the second floor of the Latvian Academy of Art and in the restaurant "Trīs Pavāri".
Could BD turn into an annual tradition?
For autumn of 2014, we're planning a different kind of Belgian Days – a Belgian Days that will be based around a multi-modal and multimedia café called "Café Europe". It will be located in the middle of the Spīķeri Quarter and be part of the Riga 2014 Cultural Capital Program. The details are being prepared by RIXC from Riga, and their Belgian partner, "Technocité", which is based in the Belgian city of Mons. Mons will be the next Cultural Capital after Riga, in 2015.
The focus will be on new media, but there will also be room for contemporary music and others things.
In 2015, the cultural flow will change directions, and Latvia will display all of its artistic assets in Brussels and other Belgian cities, as part of the program for Latvia's first Presidency of the European Union.

The following are a list of questions that we've been asked frequently. Although the answers to some of these (e.g., whether Wake Forest is a good match for you) depends on your particular interests and abilities, we hope that providing the responses we've given in the past will be helpful to you. Please keep in mind that these responses are intended to supplement the information provided in the website, so be sure to read the other sections as well.
Is Wake Forest a good choice for me for graduate school?
- Our graduate program is a research-oriented general Master's program. As such, it provides broad training in psychology rather than training in a particular specialized area (e.g., clinical). Most of our students use our program to gain the preparation and qualifications to attend a high-quality doctoral program in their specific area of interest. Our program is a good choice for students who know they want to complete doctoral work, but are not sure what area they want to specialize in. Additionally, it is a good choice for students who have good qualifications, but want to improve their qualifications even more to make themselves better prepared for the doctoral programs of their choice.
How do you decide who will be admitted into your program?
- Our program is very competitive, and the unfortunate reality is that we have to turn down many qualified students every year to keep our program small enough that we can provide substantial individual attention to the students who attend our program. Our decisions are based on a number of factors, none of which alone will guarantee (or preclude) admission. These include but are not limited to undergraduate GPA, GRE scores, research experience, letters of recommendation, writing ability, and match with faculty research interests. Other more idiosyncratic factors can matter as well (job experience, improvements in GPA, etc.) Our decisions are based on an evaluation of those factors taken together, rather than using cutoffs on any one factor.
What are my chances of being accepted into your graduate program?
- We don't offer assessments of specific students' prospects for admission. To provide a rough sense of a "typical" student in our program, however, we calculated the average scores for our students during the last three years. The median GPA was 3.76, the median GRE (quantitative and verbal combined) was 315, and most students had considerable research experience. With that said, these are just averages – students with those qualifications will not always be accepted (e.g., if their interests don't match well with faculty taking students or they are weak in some other area), and strengths in other areas can make up for a poor score on any one dimension (e.g., we have accepted students with a GPA of less than 3.0, but only rarely and when they have substantial strengths in other areas).
What can I do to improve my chances of admission?
- There is no "magical formula" for gaining admission into our or any other graduate program. We are looking for evidence that you will be able to thrive in a challenging research-based environment. Thus anything you can do to demonstrate that ability is worthwhile. Gaining research experience particularly helps. So does taking advanced courses, especially on research-relevant topics (e.g., statistics). If any of your particular qualifications are poor, doing something to improve that weakness would be helpful as well (e.g., retaking the GRE if your GRE scores were poor). Keep in mind, however, that there is no one thing you can do to guarantee (or even substantially improve) your chance of admission. Our admission process takes into account many factors – improving your standing on one of these is helpful, but keep in mind there are many factors that go into our final decisions.
What if I come from an unusual background?
- Most of the students in our program majored (or minored) in psychology and attended our program directly after their undergraduate work or after working for a few years. Occasionally, however, students from very different backgrounds (e.g., different majors, different career paths, etc.) are interested in whether our program can help get them caught up in psychology to prepare them for a doctoral program in psychology. The short answer is that this can work, but we are cautious about doing this. The first concern is that our coursework is challenging, and we assume familiarity with material that would be gained in undergraduate classes. Just as importantly, you will be expected to conduct research pretty much immediately after you arrive. Thus, it is critical that you have a basic understanding of (and preferably experience in) research methodology and statistics from the time you arrive. With that said, if you can demonstrate that you can do these things (by gaining research experience in a lab, taking some undergraduate courses or the psychology GRE subject test, or just performing at a particularly high level in your previous career path), our program can provide a great way for you to gain the training in psychology that will be of use for going on to a PhD program.

June 27,1877
Boston, Massachusetts
Mr. Chairman and Gentlmen:
I wish that I were prepared to speak fitly, as far as I might on some of the topics that have been suggested by the Mayor (of the hour which would interest this large assembly), but all that I can say tonight will be in such unconsidered sentences as occur to me at the moment of speaking. I would wish, if possible, to convey to you the very deep satisfaction I have felt on my visit to the good people of the City of Boston. I know, indeed, that this reception, this welcome, (is not for me individually.) No individual ever deserved nor ever will deserve such kindness and such honor as these (courtesy as I have received.) Boston, in this, speaks her love for the Union, her regard for equal human rights, her aspirations for restored harmony (and peace.) God grant that Boston, Massachusetts, her whole people, may enjoy the blessings, (that brings the love of which brings) you together in this spirit tonight. I beg you to receive my heartiest acknowledgements for your kindness.

My Friendship with Lucas ENT Star, Drae Axtell - Special Guest on T.A.G.S podcast
Drae Axtell is our special guest on Episode 4 of TALK ABOUT GAY SEX podcast. When I first met Drae Axtell about three years ago it was in New York City at the now closed, G Lounge in Chelsea. I was hanging out with my friend Ralph catching up and two, very cute guys sidled up to us in the lounge, one of them being Drae. Drae was definitely the talker of the two. His friend was visiting from Puerto Rico and Drae lived in upstate New York. The two of them were exploring the city at night. My friend Ralph and I were happy to have our two new friends choose us to sit next to. I suggested we head over to my favorite spot, The Eagle and everyone agreed to see where the night took us. Drae and I really got along, surprisingly since we were 20 years apart in age. Initially we had a sexual attraction...I mean what's not to like about Drae! However, after visiting him in Puerto Rico and a few visits to New York, we fell into being friends, and I might argue, into an older brother/younger bro. I learned so much new street lingo and loved sharing advice when he asked.
Drae was exploring his options in the Puerto Rican military and a potential career in fitness. I encouraged that option, but he was approached by Michael Lucas of Lucas Entertainment, which ultimately he chose to climbing success. I'll admit Drae and I had a falling out where we were out of contact for over a year, but I think we both let it all go now. We reconnected late last year and had an awesome catchup over lunch earlier this year. I think life needed to happen and I'm so happy to be friends again with Drae. He agreed to be our special guest on the show and I loved how articulate, funny and open he was for our audience. Let's not forget his beauty and work on camera! I also got to hang out with him recently in Puerto Rico for a couple days and I really enjoyed seeing how he's maturing into a thoughtful and intelligent man. His honesty is admired by everyone he comes in contact with.
If you haven't already listen to Episode 4 of TALK ABOUT GAY SEX, "Our Obsession with Porn". Look for Drae's work @lucasent or @draeaxtell www.draeaxtell.com

A smooth glide with every shave with SomerSets Shave oil!
I consider my self to be a passionate shaver. Passionate about the products I try and passionate about sharing my love of shaving to who ever wants to listen. Even if no one listened I would still do what I do on social media because I love shaving. I really don't believe in labeling myself as one kind of shaver. I like all modes of shaving and pretty soon I'm venturing into straight razor shaving as well. Being a passionate shaver also means that I can be a little sentimental. No, I'm not sentimental to the point were I save everything because it reminds me of something. I'm talking about remembering certain benchmarks in my shaving experiences whether it be a large benchmark or a very small benchmark. Certain ones mark the beginning of a phase of
Somersets shaving oil is one of those benchmarks that I'm choosing to remember for this review. Why Somersets? because Somersets was the very first shave oil that I used and the only shaving oil I used for a long time before I started reviewing shave products. At one point in time I remember asking myself, how many different shave oils could there be? WOW! That's a big question. I currently have around 40 different oils right now and that number is steadily climbing. My point being there are many shave oils and products to try, but you always remember some of your first products that you used.
I originally remember seeing several product pictures of Somersets on a very popular social media platform and decided to try it. I never tried shaving oil before because I really didn't see the need for it. My shaving routine seemed to suite me well. However I did struggle with some razor burn several times a week and wanted to find a cure for that. After doing some research it led me to Somersets shave oil. One of the good things about Somersets is that I can buy it at some of my local retail stores which is always a plus in my book. The next time I went shopping I picked some up and I've used shaving oil for every shave. Somersets improved the quality of my shave right away and I knew that shaving oil would be a constant staple in my shaving routine. Once you try Somersets I'm sure you will agree on the quality of the shaving oil and the quality it brings to your shaving routine every time.
Even though I have many shaving oils right now, I know that I can always depend on Somersets to deliver a quality glide to my nightly shave every time I use it. Somersets is not like some other shaving oils that use mostly chemicals to get the smooth glide that you are looking for. Somersets uses only 100% all natural oils from plants such as Rosemary and Lavender, Tea Tree and Sweet Almond Oil. These all natural oils provide many positive contributions to the overall health of your skin. These all natural oils help fight eczema, Dermatitis, Oily skin and Acne, toning the skin while removing dryness, To Cleanse cuts, bruises and other skin irritations, to fight infections, Acne, To treat Psoriasis, boils and skin rashes, Reducing fine lines and other signs of aging. All these positive attributes and still providing a smooth comfortable shave at the same time. Why would you not want to add Somerset's shave oil to your daily shave regimen.
Somerset's maximum glide shaving oil provides my razor with a smooth slickened surface for gliding across my Dome and face shaving all that unwanted hair away in small smooth strokes. The heftiness of my razor applies extra pressure to my Dome and face but all that I feel is the razor moving across my skin. The Somersets maximum shave oil tones down the feeling of the DE blade moving across my Dome and face decreasing the risk of razor burn, cuts and nicks. The head shave with Somersets shave oil was pleasurable and comforting as well as smooth with a great post shave feel. Somersets maximum glide shave oil adds value to each shave with every shave.
Somersets not only makes shave oil to help provide your razor with a smooth slick surface for shaving. Somersets also makes a variety of other skin care products for before and after your daily or nightly shave. start your daily routine off right with the Somersets refreshing and gentle face wash. Somersets face wash with organic Aloe Vera and American Witch Hazel washing away dirt and oil from your skin that can lead to Acne leaving your skin feeling fresh and smooth.
After my refreshing Somersets Face Wash was over, I then tried the Somersets Pre-Shave Purifying Face Scrub for my Dome and face. The Somersets exfoliation is made up of Jojoba beads that actually melt into smoothness not rough and scratchy like other products that use unnatural ingredients. The Somersets Purifying Face Scrub has a blend of B5, C and E Vitamins that have many benefits for the skin such as, anti aging properties, soothing and moisturizing dry and cracked skin, To reduce inflammation and irritation, To reduce different types of sun damage and also act as a cleansing agent. The Somersets Face Scrub felt great on my Dome and face. As I scrubbed away all of the dirt and grease after a long day my skin felt refreshed. The Jojoba beads melted away leaving behind a smooth but vigorous scrub that left my the skin on my Dome and face feeling fresh and new. I used the SomerSets Purifying Face Scrub before and after my nightly shave for an even better outcome.
After I used the Purifying Face Scrub from Somersets I tried the Post Shave Razor Repair Face Balm. The Somersets Face Balm consists of some all natural ingredients such as Rose Hip Seed Oil, Chamomile and Aloe Vera. These all natural ingredients have great healing properties for the skin that helps provide a great post prep shave feel. These natural ingredients corrects UV damage from the sun, Reduce the appearance of scars and burns as well as stretch marks, they hydrate dry skin, Soothes skin rashes, minor burns and sunburn, ease the itching of eczema and other rashes and reduces skin inflammation. The Post Shave Balm helped cool my skin after my nightly shave was over.
I finally ended my nightly skin care routine with the Somersets Replenishing moisturizer. The Somersets Moisturizer is packed full of Shea Butter, Japanese Green Tea and Vitamins A and B. The Somersets Replenishing Moisturizer helps control and restore the skins natural balance of hydration and smoothness. The Somersets moisturizer is also combined with sunscreens to protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. The Somersets moisturizer soaks into and leaves the skin on your Dome and face feeling soft and smooth. A perfect end to a perfect skin care routine.
I also received a Somersets T-Shirt along with my Somersets review box of skin care products. On the back it reads "I'D Take A Bullet For A Close Shave" Now I don't think I would take a bullet for a close shave but I do appreciate one. This orange T-Shirt also has the Somersets logo on the front of the T-Shirt. What a nice touch! The orange color Somersets T-Shirt is nice and comfortable making it an easy choice to wear after your nightly shave. The skin care products from Somersets is approved by TheBaldNation for our BaldNation. Love your products and you will love the results. Have a #Baldtastic day.

The commitment will complement Todd's earlier gift of $500,000, which was matched by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, to create a $1 million professorship in Longevity and Healthful Living.
J. Clifford Todd is a 1950 WKU graduate in agriculture and biology and holds a master's degree in public health from Columbia University. He spent 17 years as an epidemiologist in the health field. In 1983, Todd formed US Corrections Corp, the first private prison company in the United States, to help government agencies alleviate the problems with overcrowded prisons. He retired in 1995.
"I have long had an interest in longevity and better health, both in philosophy and in practice. It is my hope that this gift will show people how they can benefit from living right, eating better foods and exercising. By supporting WKU in teaching and promoting a healthy lifestyle in students today, I am helping to train the teachers of tomorrow."

13 Oct Personal Loans, Revenge and Bankruptcy: Not a Good Combination
Posted at 08:39h in Discharge of Debt 0 CommentsYou are probably aware that the Bankruptcy Code includes Section 523 which sets out the rules whereby a specific debt can be deemed non-dischargeable in a bankruptcy case. Certain types of debt, such as damages arising from a DUI or past due child support, can never be discharged. Other debts, like student loans can be discharged only in very limited circumstances. In real life, the most common challenges to a debtor's bankruptcy comes from credit card companies or other unsecured lenders. So called "credit card binge†debt serves as the most typical example of abuse of the bankruptcy process - most people would understand why a judge would not allow an unemployed debtor to buy a big screen TV and high end stereo system, then file a bankruptcy six months later, wiping out thousands of dollars of recent charges, while keeping all of his purchases. Other dischargeability challenge cases may be a little less obvious - for example, an unemployed debtor may use his credit cards to buy food, but also to purchase a new cell phone and to buy movie tickets. In these circumstances, your lawyer will most likely be able to negotiate a reasonable settlement of the challenge, leaving some debt to survive your case but payable under reasonable terms. Credit card and other vendor challenges can give rise to litigation, but usually in those cases I can see the problem coming and the resolution usually involves a financial settlement.

Guys. The night I made this recipe, I received a sign.
Like, a sign from above. Literally.
I was making this soup, when I saw this orangey-red light from outside my window. I stepped outside, and saw the best winter sunset so far in New Mexico. And it was THE EXACT SAME COLOR AS THE SOUP I WAS MAKING. That's right. Tomato soup sky. A sign from above. Yep.
This was such a change for me, I mean actually having gorgeous weather past October and having sunsets instead of watching the light start to disappear at 3:30 is a huge deal. Spending my childhood in Chicago means that I am used to the darkness and the cold. Bitter cold, snowy cold, blustering cold, bone-chilling cold- I think there are just a many words to say "cold" in the Chicago vernacular as there is to say "snow" in the Inuit cultures.
After childhood, I went to college in Iowa, where it was, surprisingly, even colder. Even more, I spent many weekends traversing over into the Dakotas, on road trips and adventures, where I discovered that it was even colder. As in colder than Iowa and Chicago. Perhaps combined. I spent a spring break in college on a farm in central South Dakota, and it was by far the coldest spring temperatures I had ever seen. (On the other hand, summers were temperate and blissful.)
One of my takeaways from these trips into the tundra were the foods served. Fresh greens in winter were scarce, even in grocery stores. Fruits were more common, but they were often not very flavorful, presumably from the long journey that the fruits had to go through to even get to that often forgotten corner of the country.
Meals served were often heavy, hot, and filling: dumplings, liver and onions, potatoes galore, pot roasts, steaks, and soups.
Oh, the soups.
There's a reason why our grandmother's ate so many homemade soups in their time: if made from bones, they are packed with nutrients that ward of viruses, which typically come knocking as the temperatures start to drop. Soups are a way to incorporate tougher vegetables that survive throughout the winter months: parsnips, potatoes, carrots, yams. And of course, soups are warm, which everyone agrees is both comforting and soothing in those dark, wintery days.
One of the greatest soups I have ever had came from a woman in South Dakota who created this recipe all on her own. It is hot a bubbly and frothy and pure goodness in a bowl. It's a tomato soup, which sounds boring and wimpy, but this homemade tomato soup packs so much richness and flavor that it really should be in its own category. The original recipe called for 4 cups of heavy whipping cream (!!!), flour, and a multitude of other ingredients that just aren't paleo. For this post, I've modified the original recipe to make it dairy free and primal friendly, but have still kept the integrity of the rich flavors. I've also added my own flair to the recipe, a flair that is definitely influenced by my most recent Southwest, warm-winter, adventure. If jalapenos aren't your thing, just omit them. You can also omit the swirl, especially if you just want a classic tomato soup recipe. You'll still get a full-bodied soup, but without that spicy, South of Vanilla twist.
Paleo Jalapeno Tomato Soup with Sundried Tomato-Avocado Cream Swirl
For the soup:
- 6 cups fresh, whole tomatoes
- ½ large white onion, diced
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 4 roughly chopped jalapenos, plus additional for garnish (or more to taste) (Optional)
- 6 tbsp. grass-fed, organic, unsalted butter (I love Kerrygold)
- 6 1/3 cups unsweetened original flavored almond mild, divided
- 1/3 cup tapioca flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp. ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp. cumin
- 2 tsp. garlic salt
- 2 tsp. paprika
- Salt to taste
For the swirl:
- ¼ cup Sundried Tomatoes
- 1 Avocado
- ½ cup unsweetened, unflavored Almond Milk
For the soup:
- Remove skins from tomatoes by slicing an X on the bottom of each fruit, then placing in a large pot and covering all tomatoes with water.
- Bring tomatoes in water to a boil for about 6 minutes. Once skin starts to peel back from tomatoes, drain water from pot.
- Let tomatoes cool completely before peeling off skins. Discard skins, and place peeled tomatoes back in pot. Peeled tomatoes should be soft at this point and slightly cooked.
- In your pot with peeled tomatoes, add butter, garlic, onion, and jalapenos. Sauté on medium-high heat until garlic and onions are fragrant and onions are translucent.
- Add 1/3 cup of almond milk to tomato mixture, and let simmer until almost all the liquid is gone.
- Remove from heat, and spoon tomato mixture into a blender. Be very careful not to burn yourself, as this blending process emits a large amount of steam. You may have to blend in two separate batches depending on your size of blender. Blend until smooth.
- Place blended tomato mixture back into the pot, but reserve 1 cup of the mixture. Place this 1 cup of the tomato mixture in a separate large bowl.
- In your separate large bowl with 1 cup of the tomato mixture, add the tapioca flour and baking soda. Whisk until frothy and all the tapioca flour has been absorbed. It may take awhile for the tapioca flour to absorb completely, and it is important to keep whisking, as the flour can easily clump.
- Add tomato mixture with the flour and baking soda back into the large pot with the rest of the blended tomato mixture.
- Add 4 cups of the almond mild, and heat of medium-low. The soup should never come to a boil, it should just bubble. Stir often to ensure that the soup does not stick to the bottom of the pot, about 15 minutes.
- Once the soup is bubbling, add remaining 2 cups of almond milk, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, garlic salt, and paprika. Stir in spices, and heat on medium heat for about 15 more minutes. Scrape up any burned pieces from the bottom of the pot; this will add a richer flavor.
- Serve immediately, or garnish with swirl or jalapenos. (Optional)
For the swirl:
- Combine all ingredients into a blender. Blend on high until smooth. (There still may be small pieces of sundried tomatoes.)
- With a spoon swirl in the cream 1 tbsp. at a time until you have desired swirl.

Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection for Penile Cancer
Related Conditions
Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection for Penile Cancer
Enlarged lymph nodes in patients with penile cancer is common and may be the result of infection rather than cancer. If palpable enlarged lymph nodes exist three or more weeks after removal of the primary lesion on the penis, a procedure should be considered to remove lymph nodes from one or both groins.
In addition, if the penile lesion is higher grade or more extensive, it is recommended that these nodes be removed. This operation can result in cure as well as improve staging of the disease.
Lymph node removal has risks including:
- Infection
- Skin necrosis
- Wound breakdown
- Chronic edema

Father accidentally shoots and kills daughter as she enters home, SC cops say
A father accidentally shot and killed his daughter as she entered her South Carolina home early Sunday, according to officials.
The shooting happened around 1:15 a.m. on Young Street in Greenville, according to a release from the Greenville County Coroner's Office.
Nadeja Jermainequa Pressley, 23, was preparing to enter her home when she was shot, according to the coroner's office. She died at the scene. An autopsy is planned for Monday.
A Greenville County Sheriff's Office spokesman told WYFF that Pressley's father believed an intruder was trying to enter the home, and he shot a gun through the door.
He then discovered that the person on the other side of the door was his daughter, the sheriff's office said, according to FOX Carolina.
There was no immediate word Sunday on charges, and the incident remains under investigation.

Fats and Sugars – Is Sugar Worst Then Fats?
We all know that eating saturated fat is bad for us, and that obesity, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure (all forms of coronary vascular disease {CVD} are high in the UK and worldwide.
The question is, is it just down to the amount of saturated fat (SFA) in our food? Eskimos consume a high saturated fat diet and have a low prevalence of obesity, heart disease and other health related diseases.
Also, the amount of saturated fat we eat in our food has been reduced over the last 20 years in the UK, which means other factors are responsible for these health related problems.
How much sugar is in foods?
One of the major causes of health related diseases and weight gain are the amounts of sugar in food. The amount of SFA in our foods has been reduced, while sugar content has been increased.
Sugars can be found fizzy drinks, sausages, crisps (Pringles), pizza, sausages and it is unlikely this is a coincidence. Also, many low fat ready meals are high in sugar, but are these meals healthy?
Sugar and insulin
Sugar affects the amount of insulin you release into your blood stream. Your body needs to control the amount of sugar you have in your blood.
People with type 2 diabetes (a high blood sugar disease) don't die from diabetes itself, they often die because their blood sugar levels get so high that the sugar in their blood coats their organs, causing the organs to almost suffocate and lose function.
It's when a particular organ is damaged and fails that their health will deteriorate.
The affect of insulin on your body
When you eat foods that are high in simple sugars (doughnuts, fizzy drinks, chocolates), your blood sugar is raised extremely high and your body feels compelled to lower your blood sugar levels as quickly as it can.
Your body panics and releases as much insulin (reduces blood sugar levels) as it can, which causes the blood sugar to go from very high, back down to normal levels.
However, it keeps falling till it causes the blood sugar levels to fall to an undesirably low level.
Once it falls to this low level the body feels compelled to raise your blood sugar levels up as fast as it can, and your body craves something sweet.
Once you eat something sweet you will start the cycle again and are likely to keep repeating this cycle of eating sweet foods to raise your blood sugar levels only for it to fall causing you to eat something sweet again.
Controlling your blood sugar levels
This is something that you may experience on a daily basis, and you may feel that your energy levels throughout the day are affected.
There are major health related issues associated with this yo-yo affect on your blood sugar levels, and craving sweet foods could be a sign that you need to have better control of your blood sugar.
However, it doesn't mean that you are necessarily unhealthy because you need a number of other factors for it to be a concern, but breaking this cycle can help you lose weight.
The effect of free radicals on your health
Other issues that affect your health are not eating enough fruit and vegetables, as these contain anti-oxidants which combat free radicals.
Your cells are attacked and destabilized by free radicals which roam round your body.
Anti oxidants help to neutralize free radicals and in the process they help to fight against the ageing process, help reduce the fat in your arteries, and helps reduce your blood pressure.
You must eat fats to avoid weight gain and maintain health!
You must also make sure you eat polyunsaturated fat, which can be found in fish oils, vegetable oils to name a few.
It's important to eat good fats in your diet, as some key vitamins are stored in your fat cells, and all the cells in your body are made of fats, not to mention that we are made of millions of cells.
Having your cells lined with quality fat like polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat is the equivalent of having a table built with oak wood.
That's not to say that your body doesn't need saturated fats though, but everything must be in moderation. The old saying of "you are what you eat" is very true.
What's your diet like? Do you feel that throughout the day you need something sweet to pick you up and keep you going? Please leave a comment below.

This video pretty much shows the spirit of librarians and their commitment to libraries – they will survive. But we need libraries that do more than survive. Libraries are vital to our democracy (blah, blah, blah, if you've read anything I've written on this blog, you've already heard all of my arguments so I'll not bore you further.)
The point is…BECAUSE libraries are vital to our democracy, shouldn't they do more than survive? You are still surviving as you take your last few breaths. How close to the thin line between surviving and dying do we want to push our libraries/democracy?

Older (first-generation) over-the-counter and prescription antihistamines
Newer (second-generation) over-the-counter antihistamines
Newer (second-generation) prescription antihistamines
Antihistamines may be available as tablets, capsules, nasal
sprays, or liquids. You can use them alone or combined with decongestants to
allergic rhinitis.
Many symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such
as sneezing, itching, and runny nose, occur when your body releases a chemical
called histamine.
Antihistamine medicines block histamine and may reduce
your symptoms.
You can use antihistamines to stop
or reduce sneezing, runny nose, and watery and itchy eyes caused by an
allergic reaction.
All of these antihistamines work
equally well to relieve sneezing, itching, and runny nose.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
In general, antihistamines don't
relieve nasal congestion well. They are often combined with a decongestant in
one product. These medicines may not be safe for young children or for people who have certain health problems. Read and follow all instructions on the label.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Finally winter is almost over here in Australia. While I love winter fashion and layering, the cold often makes me feel unmotivated to venture out with my clothes. I catch myself wearing the same thing everyday - jeans, a shirt and a big coat.
Fortunately, the sun is starting to shine and I'm shivering a whole lot less. I can't wait to wear dresses without stockings and shoes that aren't boots.
Zaful is helping get my closet ready for the spring/summer period with their huge array of cute and inexpensive dresses, playsuits and skirts.
To get myself ready for spring I chose this cold shoulder ruffle paid dress with these ultra cool pair of pink frameless mirrored sunglasses.
