Analyzing some well-written essays
One of the most effective ways to help build writing skills is through analysis of someone else's writing. This is why so many professors and other instructors require group and partner evaluations and proofing – it not only helps the writer of the piece being reviewed, but also the reviewer. Seeing different writing styles, and different methods for tackling a subject is very helpful.
But what if you aren't paired with a colleague for review? What if you don't have access to some else's writing?
Analyzing Essays
In the internet age, it is really easy to find essays for review on just about any subject. To find well written essays for review, consider the following options:
- Professional Samples – A great place to start is with those written by professional writers. Articles, essays, and reviews published in hard copy as well as on the internet are all great for review. Not only will they show you how a professional would structure and create their essay, but their argument might prove helpful as you establish yours.
- Writing Center Examples – Many writing resource pages offer examples online for review. Highlighting specific qualities of a piece, writing centers and other tutoring organizations will walk you through the analysis process and show you where certain things are effective within an essay.
- Internet Examples – The internet offers a wealth of information – and that includes previously created essays. While it isn't a good idea to use one that you can't source (because it might misdirect you), there are many available that can help.
- Blogs – Blogs aren't all created equal, but some that are online to help writers are very helpful.
Analyzing quality essays is all a matter of finding the right resource for those available for review. And, of course, not falling into the trap of reviewing essays that are done incorrectly or incompletely. As an added measure of safety, consider running those you are using by your instructor.
As you analyze, make notes of where you find issues and what you might change if you had written he piece. What suggestions would you make? How would you approach it differently? And, what did you find impressive? Can you include something similar the next time you write an essay?
The analysis of writing samples is an important part of building your own skills as a writer. With many different styles and types of writing out there, you can never do too much reviewing of the work of other people – as it will help you constantly evolve as a writer yourself.

Landis tells his story of the phone call
I lost the thread in the direct of Landis, with too much stuff being like too many FFF meetings I've heard before.
What I heard that was new were his narrative of earlier encounters with Lemond, and his narrative of the Geoghegan call to Lemond.
Landis said they were at dinner at a hotel at a large table, with Geohegan at the other side, and noticed him on the phone while he was on his Blackberry, but not paying attention because Will is always on the phone. He said he didn't hear what Geoghegan was saying, and it was a short call.
He said he was there when Will didn't answer the first return call, but not later, having gotten up. Then he said either he heard the message or that Will said it was Lemond calling back. Thinking he had a problem, he went to his room, and walked to Will's room and heard parts of the second call back.
He said Will was shaken, and asked if they should talk to the lawyers. Landis said no, they're not around, we'll talk when we see them. We have some decisions to make.
There are disputes in the comments below about the above; I'm not sure what was really said, not having a recording. That seems like a mistake on my part in not trying to record somehow.
Then, Landis said he saw Will that evening to help him move out of the hotel, but didn't say anything about any conversation.
There are guesses in the press room they did not talk to the attorneys in the morning. Most observers in the court when it happened seemed to think it caught Jacobs and Suh blind. That's a strong suggestion Landis and Will had let it drop.
If so, what were they thinking? That it wasn't going to come up? Wishful thinking, at best.
It would explain why Landis had his head in his hands when Barnett dropped the bomb, and Suh had The Talk with Geoghegan while Howard tried to go forward with his planned cross of Lemond.
Another possibility is that Landis and Geoghegan did tell the lawyers, and they all convinced themselves it wouldn't come up, and didn't really come up with a good plan to handle it. That could be groupthink in action, and let's hope that isn't true of the science case as well.
Landis has all day tomorrow, and part of Monday morning to think how this is going to stand up to cross-examination, and he needs to be telling the truth, however ugly.
This is still a science case first. While it appears to be a battle of duelling experts there's a possibility of a sudden insight revealed by the defense, the rabbit the supporters have been hoping is in the bottom of the bag after all.
This business of that call really clouds interpretation of the science, and USADA has shown no compunction in throwing stink bombs. It's not going to go away.
This is sad, because it really takes away from the glaring issues that have been shown throughout the hearing about the acumen of the labs and the one-sided rigidity of the adjudication structure.

Germans began puncturing any can goods that arrived in Red Cross parcels, in order to prevent it from being stockpiled for an escape attempt, or traded with guards. It had to be eaten immediately to prevent spoilage.
The winter of 1944/45 was one of the coldest ever in Europe , and specifically Austria where Dad was held. German's were running out of food for civilians and their military. POW's were last on the list to get fed and they also got just a few chunks of coal to heat the barracks. They were constantly cold.
They gave the POW's in Stalag 17 one bowl of cabbage soup per day, and a small piece of black bread. Dad said the bread tasted of saw dust and they suspected saw dust was used as filler to make it go further. It wasn't unusual to have maggots in the soup. Dad said the soup smelled like sauerkraut, why he never ate sauerkraut.
Those Red Cross parcels with spam were coveted and anticipated, but even those began to disappear. Early 44 , they got them once a week, early 45 it was once a month, if at all. German's said it was because the Allies were bombing the trains carrying the Red Cross parcels, but no one believed that.
To them, a can of spam was like a gourmet meal.
I usually don't post recipes until after we have made them, but I just saw this in the mag. that came the other day and couldn't wait to share it with fellow SPAM lovers. I hope we will make this soon.
Bacon-Wrapped Spam Bites
(makes 32 pieces)
18 bacon strips
1 can (12 oz.) reduced-sodium SPAM, cut into 32 cubes
1/3 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 garlic clove, minced
Preheat oven to 400F. Cut bacon strips crosswise in half. In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain; keep warm.
Wrap a bacon piece around each Spam cube; secure with a toothpick. Place in a 15x10x1 inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Combine mustard, syrup and garlic, drizzle over Spam. Bake until bacon is crisp, 5-10 minutes longer.

I know you can buy Maple Bacon but I think first time trying this, we would rather use the maple syrup.
Lynn Dollar, great insight into POWs in Europe during WWII. The Greatest Generation sacrificed so much. My grandfather was a Marine Raider in the Pacific Campaign and my father told me my grandfather didn't talk much about his experiences. My father did relate one conversation he overheard, where my grandfather was so hungry and thirsty that he would've eaten and drank his own feces. SPAM, in his conditions, would be a delight beyond belief.
SJS (N, DR, CU, CM) | WGA Charcoal (P), Gas (CM) | Q100 (2007) | Char Q (DE) | SJP (DR) | 22.5" OTG (DR) | WSM 14" (AH), 18" (AD), 22" (AU)
It is so nice (and sad) to hear these SPAM stories. Thank you.
Speaking of SPAM, DH is fixing us a SPAM and egg sandwich for breakfast as I type. Has anyone else been buying those single serve SPAM packets? They sure come in handy. The last time DH bought them, he took what was left in a small display and took the display. lol (with the store mng. permission). We now have SPAM on display on our pantry shelf.
Don't forget, tomorrow is Hawaiis 60th Anniversary. Have anything planned to help celebrate?
Heh.... Apparently, Hormel is introducing a pumpkin pie spice SPAM, limited time only, only available online.

Collapsing theatrical windows, vanishing DVD revenues, rampant piracy and a worldwide recession — it's a scary time for the international sales business.
"It's increasingly black and white with no middle ground — you've either got the film or you haven't," notes veteran Madrid-sales agent Kevin Williams of KWA, who's contemplating partly relocating outside Spain, because of a dearth of sellable local product.
"Madrid is devastated by the downturn" he laments. "The local film biz is a dead-man-not-walking — I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel."
"Prices are slashed, and people are delaying payments — they're revealing their darkest side," says Mocha Aguilar at Eldorado Films.
The recession has hit Spain particularly hard, with a 30% drop in TV advertising and webs scrambling to merge.
But international sales have proved a salve for some local players, such as Barcelona's Filmax, which recently filed for court protection from creditors because of local distribution woes but still maintains strong foreign sales.
"We're trying to buy the best films in Spain," explains Filmax's sales chief, Vicente Canales, "especially from top broadcasters such as Telecinco. Buyers are looking for original concepts, new stories and fresh vision — so our focus is on new talent."
Filmax's pipeline includes inhouse productions such as Jaume Balaguero's thriller "Sleep Tight" and tortured teen tale "Yellow," complemented by genre pickups such as Eduardo Chapero-Jackson's chiller "Verbo," Eugenio Mira's romantic thriller "Agnosia," horror pic "Exorcismus" and supernatural drama "For the Good of Others."
Leading talent on several of these projects started their careers with renowned helmers such as Alejandro Amenabar and Guillermo del Toro.
"As soon as you mention Guillermo's name, it unlocks doors," explains Gorka Bilbao, sales exec at DeAPlaneta Intl., which has clocked up extensive sales on the Del Toro-godfathered pickup "Julia's Eyes."
Spanish-Italian media conglom DeAPlaneta incorporates top commercial web Antena 3 and recently made a strategic decision to expand its international sales arm through pickups and nonexclusive relationships with producers such as Antena3 Films, "Eyes" producer Rodar y Rodar and Media Films. Rival media group Imagina has also teamed with Antena 3 on Woody Allen's "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger," screening at Cannes and starring Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins.
Imagina is now pre-selling Allen's upcoming Paris project, starring Owen Wilson.
"Woody Allen puts you on the map," explains Beatriz Setuain, Imagina's head of film sales. "Falling DVD sales makes it more difficult to sell genre pics. TV buyers are primarily looking for established talent."
Spanish film-TV conglom Vertice 360 unveiled its new umbrella sales arm at MIP, headed by Gonzalo Sagardia.
At Cannes, Vertice will be screening David Serrano's romantic comedy "With or Without Love" and pre-selling Carlos Saura's Brazilian-set musical romance "Amor de dios."
Madrid-based consortium Latido Films sources titles from founder partners Tornasol, Zebra and Continental plus third-party pickups, with an emphasis on Latin American films.
Latido has nearly sold out on Argentine Academy Award-winner "The Secret in Their Eyes" by Juan Jose Campanella.
At Cannes, Latido will also be screening Emilio Ruiz Barrachina's Christ drama "The Disciple," starring Joel West ("CSI: Miami") and will unveil "Every Song Is About Me" from helmer Jonas Trueba.
"The market is increasingly difficult," explains Latido's head of sales Miren Zamora, "and there's rising competition from foreign sales agents, especially in France and Germany."
Foreign sales agents inevitably attempt to cherry-pick top titles from Spain and Latin America and can pay higher minimum guarantees.
Recent films by Almodovar and Amenabar have been handled by Focus Features Intl., while this year's Spanish hit "Cell 211" is being sold by Paris-based Films Distribution.
However, most sales agents downplay foreign competition.
"Producers are very happy with our results," beams Filmax's Vicente Canales. "We can generate better sales on Spanish projects than French sales agents."
Sales subsidy support from trade export body ICEX also helps cement ties between local producers and sales agents.
Marina Fuentes at Madrid-based 6 Sales is upbeat about Spanish sales agents' growth potential and is now tapping into two investment funds to pay higher minimum guarantees for international films.
"Spain is enjoying a rapid catch-up process with countries like France and Germany," she says. "Soon we won't even be talking about countries. It'll all be about talent."

Bloomberg News reports that Amazon will buy Whole Foods for $13.7 billion in cash. In cash! That breaks down to Jeff Bezos and company paying $42 per share for a chain of health food and lifestyle shops. In cash!
Here's a funny Twitter joke about that:
coincidentally 13.7 billion dollars is what a week worth of groceries is at whole foods
— abdul 🚀 (@Advil) June 16, 2017
Amazon confirmed the Bloomberg report just minutes after it hit the web. "Millions of people love Whole Foods Market because they offer the best natural and organic foods, and they make it fun to eat healthy," said Bezos in a press release. Presumably, this deal will make it fun for Jeff to become the richest man on the planet.
The deal is a doozie, too, no matter how you measure it. Amazon's been making waves in the retail space for a few years now, most recently opening up brick and mortar bookshops as well as testing out an automated supermarket concept. There's also Amazon Fresh, the online shop's next-day grocery service that's been steadily growing for years. The idea that the Seattle-based company would want to buy a premium brand like Whole Foods, not to mention gain access to all of its real estate and logistics, makes all of these seem like a warm up for Amazon's massive takeover of real world shops.
A doozie it may be, but this is not yet a done deal. Whole Food shareholders still have to approve the purchase, as do regulators. Amazon says both parties expect "to close the transaction during the second half of 2017." Who knows how long after that you'll start seeing Kindles for sale in the Whole Foods checkout and Amazon Echos on display in a new Whole Foods electronics section. God, just imagine Alexa's power when she'll be able to tell you the price of 28-day dry-aged beef in the Whole Foods meat department.
Then again, Jeff Bezos does have a track record of purchasing companies, infusing them with new capital, and then sort of leaving them alone. That's more or less what Bezos did after purchasing The Washington Post, aside from offering some free subscriptions to Prime Members. Time will tell, and without a doubt, Bezos will boost his net worth eventually, now that he owns a supermarket with the nickname "Whole Paycheck." So let the jokes and the sooth-saying begin.

Evercore ISI analysts commented, "We are not surprised by today's outperformance given the strong quarterly print (downstream), progress at the asset level (Grand Prix fully in service), and a well-handled call. We believe eliminating multi-year guidance was the right decision (more questions than answers absent regular updates given asset sales, project announcements, etc). After underperforming the group (AMZ) by 10% since we launched in February and with confidence in the outlook reiterated, TRGP continues to look 'attractive' on a multiples basis (9.2x/7.9x 2020e/2021e EBITDA on our numbers, 10.7% NTM div yld).

WESTON, Mass. - Junior Aineen Callahan (Diamond Point, N.Y.) scored in the eighth round of the penalty stroke shootout on Saturday afternoon to give the Regis (Mass.) field hockey team a 1-0 win over Rivier University in Great Northeast Athletic Conference action at Regis Stadium.
With the win, the Pride picks up its first GNAC win of the season to improve to 1-3 in conference and 5-4 overall. The Raiders continue to seek its first conference win, moving to 0-4 in the GNAC and 1-8 overall.
The game went the entire 100 minutes without a ball entering either net, thanks in part to stellar goalkeeping from the Pride's Maresa Malcolm (Barrington, N.J.) and Rivier's Emily Foster (West Lebanon, N.H.). Malcolm made four saves in regulation and one in the overtime, but it was Foster who stole the show on the day. After making five saves in regulation time, Foster turned away 11 shots off Pride sticks in the two overtime periods to force the game to penalty strokes.
Rivier's Mikayla Ramsdell (Salem, N.H.) opened the scoring in the shootout in the second round, juking out Malcolm, slipping left and sliding a shot into the open cage. Two more Pride players would miss and the shootout came down to Pride junior Yvonne Abate (Easton, Mass.). Needing a goal in the fifth round to keep the shootout going, Abate converted to extend the game. Three rounds later, Callahan deked around Foster and fired a shot into the cage to give the Pride the victory.
Both teams will face Framingham State University in their next games, starting with the Pride, who hosts the Rams on Tuesday afternoon at Regis Stadium. The Raiders travel to Framingham on Thursday for a 4:00 p.m. start.

Let's cut straight to the chase. Resident Evil 5 was not good. The best thing about Resident Evil 5 was the graphics. The story was wack. The plot spends the whole time trying to surprise you, but I saw the plots twists coming from a mile away. The clues were so obvious. You would think a game with a weak plot would have a great gameplay. Unfortunately that's not the case with Resident Evil 5.
Resident Evil hasn't been the same since they switched the style up and become an action game. The action formula worked great when it was introduced in Resident Evil 4, but by the time it hit Resident Evil 5 it was redundant. Resident Evil 5 is basically a co-op version of Resident Evil 4. If Resident Evil wants to be an action game, it should at least be good. Resident Evil 5 is a mediocre action game at best. Resident Evil 5 couldn't hold it's weight with action games such as Grand Theft Auto or Gears of War.
I am hopeful for Resident Evil 6. One of the main characters is Leon Kennedy. Leon has a track record for being in great Resident Evil games. Resident Evil 2 is arguably the best game in the series, and Resident Evil 4 is a classic. If he's coming back for Resident Evil 6 that's a good sign. The trailer for Resident Evil 6 looks like another action adventure game. A lot of quick time moves are shown throughout the trailer. I really hope they incorporate survival horror aspects into Resident Evil 6 like their doing in Resident Evil: Revelations. I'll definitely be picking Resident Evil 6 up when it's released on November 20th 2012. If it's another disappointment I might be done with this series.

Was up in Vail for the weekend, and could not resist to the temptation to hit up Gore Creek. I have fished a few of Colorado's Gold Medal Waters, but I think I could see this becoming my favorite. Me and my Dad fished both Saturday and Sunday, starting at around 6:30 in the morning and being back at the condo before the rest of the family is out of bed. Between the two of us, I think we brought about 15 to the net, including a gorgeous Bow that my dad hooked on his third drift of the first morning. The bow took us about 50 yards down the creek, but we managed to finally bring him to the net. I had heard that the Gore was a very technical fishery, requiring small tippets and patterns, but we had luck with lots of different flies, including red Copper Johns, gray RS2's, Mercury Blood Midge, Red Hot, and Black Beauty's. It's always nice when you step onto a new river, and have good fishing right from the start!!!
|Very nice Gore Creek Bow!!!

An A-Z of Paul Klee: L is for Lily
Posted by: admin In: Tate
© Klee-Nachlassverwaltung, Bern
In this week's instalment of our alphabetical guide to Paul Klee, curator Matthew Gale introduces the artist's wife, Lily
Karoline Stumpf, known as Lily, met Paul Klee at a concert in 1899. Throughout their lives together, music underpinned their relationship. An accomplished musician, Lily evidently had a rebellious response to her father's dismissal of Klee's attentions. They met in secret, were secretly engaged and, in 1906, were married in Bern rather than her family home. When they settled in Munich it was Lily's piano lessons that sustained the household.
Once Klee was appointed to the Bauhaus, Lily was able to afford treatment for her precarious health at spas in Germany and Switzerland. Her tenacity was seen in the role she played in transferring the household to Switzerland in 1933 and, after Klee's death in 1940, in establishing a public legacy for his work.
At a crucial moment following Klee's death, as Lily was very old and unwell, an agreement was made in Washington allowing the allies to sequestrate German assets abroad, and as both Lily and Paul were still German citizens, she feared that the Klee's work would be seized and distributed randomly. In the moments before she died, Lily signed an agreement securing Klee's work as a collection with a charitable purpose, and it was assigned to a number of public collections in Switzerland.

Today is one of the greenest days of the year. No, not Saint Patrick's Day, I am talking about Earth Day. There are 318 million people in the United States, but on April 22, just one person can make a difference. Here are three things you can do to not only celebrate Earth Day but to help rejuvenate mother earth.
- Use less paper.
As college students, we burn through a lot of paper, whether for notes, sketch paper, books and on average, this leads to students producing around 320 pounds of paper waste each year. Now you could stop printing notes and tell your teacher you are saving the trees, but that might not go over well. Doing simple things like reusing old scratch paper, recycling or printing papers double-sided helps save paper. As an example of this, this article is not available on any printed papers and is only available online, paperless.
- Rethink your mode of transportation this Earth Day.
If you drive to school, think about tagging along with some friends and creating a carpool, riding the MetroLink, being like Joseph Gordon Levitt in "Premium Rush" and riding a bike, or if you're in the mood to enjoy some fresh air, enjoy a nice walk to campus and enjoy the scenery and geese. There are many benefits to these alternatives. Not only is taking the MetroLink eco-friendly, it is relaxing. You could to sit back and have a nice relaxing trip while someone else drives you around. Plus this eliminates your traffic problem and answers that pesky question of "Where the heck am I going to park?" But one really good reason to take the train: it's money-saving. Riding the bus or MetroLink versus driving a personal sedan can save you almost $8,000. That is more cash in your pocket.
- Watch water waste.
This could be achieved by not running the sink while brushing your teeth or taking shorter showers. The average time a person spends taking a shower in America is around seven minutes, which is approximately 17.2 gallons of water per shower. Those seven minutes jump when you include brushing your teeth and shaving in the shower. Now if some were honest, their shower is nowhere near seven minutes, but keep this in mind next time you linger in the shower: a study found that 20 percent of men were irritated with the lengthy showers women take, and 15 percent of women admitted that it causes arguments with men. So for the sake of the relationship, take shorter showers.
Earth Day only happens once a year, but the most important thing to remember is to treat every day like Earth Day and to spread the word about its importance.

Why is precision medicine so important?
Precision medicine is a medical breakthrough which promises to open up great opportunities in personalised cancer care. According to recent medical research, everyone has unique genetic composition, as well as personal and molecular characteristics. Every human being leads a unique life in terms of environmental conditions and lifestyle. This is an important finding for a complex disease, such as cancer. Cancer is caused when the DNA composition in the cells suffers damage resulting in uncontrolled abnormal growth of cells known as cancerous cells. Factors that make precision medicine one of the most sought after medical approach are:
• Its effectiveness and efficiency
• Fewer side effects
• Targeted treatment
What wonders can precision medicine work in cancer treatment?
According to a study by the NCBI, the total number of cancer cases in India is expected to cross 1,14,8757 by the year 2020.1 One way of looking at this figure is that there are 1,14,8757 unique cancer cases expected in the year 2020.
Precision medicine has finally come as an answer to one of the most challenging questions in cancer treatment. Scientists were puzzled as to why some cancer patients do not respond well to the best of the standard cancer treatment, while others do. The number of cancer cases is expected to rise considerably in the next five years in India. Precision medicine is certainly going to change the way cancer has been treated till date. It would give us more insights into cancer and hopefully would lead to better and effective outcomes. It also holds lots of promising new advancements in cancer care and early diagnosis.
How is precision medicine personalised?
Personalisation may take different forms when it comes to cancer. These include:
• Cancer testing to determine whether a particular treatment would be effective in a particular case
• Genetic profiling of the patient to understand whether he/she can handle a particular medicine or therapy
• Profiling the genetical composition of a person with regard to genetic mutation to determine the degree of cancer risk
What is the current status of precision medicine in India?
Precision medicine in India is believed to be in its infancy. Although in its early stages, it still offers huge potential in terms of research and development and their application. Precision medicine has generated tremendous interest in the Indian medical fraternity. It has forced most of the industry players to rethink on their future strategies. India with its diversity and large population base would be an ideal testing ground for precision medicine. Patient information is the focal point of any precision medicine research; therefore it would need proactive involvement of patients.
What is the global scenario?
The scientist community has hailed precision medicine and is eager to adopt it as the latest medical advancement. The medical fraternity across the world has been working relentlessly in making precision medicine more affordable. Still, precision medicine has a long way to go before it is within the reach of a common man in India. Nevertheless, it has come as a ray of hope for many.
What does precision medicine mean for the medical fraternity and the stakeholders?
The recent announcement by the US government backing the precision medicine research and its clinical application has created a stir in the healthcare industry worldwide. Precision medicine has become the driving force for various stakeholders of the industry. Precision medicine based treatment approach has led almost all major pharmaceutical companies to conduct researches into it, to get the first mover advantage. Oncology, followed by neurology and cardiology branch of medical sciences are the ones, which would be getting the maximum benefit out of these research and development. The other medical science branches are would soon follow suit.
What is the scope for precision medicine in India?
Precision medicine is still in its early stage in India. However, it has opened up a novel approach to treat a deadly disease like cancer. It offers high potential and is much-needed in the Indian healthcare scenario, as the Indian health sector is overburdened with the ever-increasing epidemic ready to engulf the Indian population.
Most of the doctors agree on the fact that precision medicine is the next thing in medical practice and are keeping them abreast with the recent developments in this field. There would be major collaboration among the scientists, medical practitioners, IT, insurance and pharmaceuticals community to put in their best to tap the potential that precision medicine has on offer.

Whether celebrating a holiday, special occasion or simply "just because," giving your 60-year-old sister a gift can represent the deepest sign of respect and love. For a sister that has shared her emotions with you for so many years, a carefully selected gift can show how much you appreciate her.
When you're running short on time, purchasing a gift from a local store can be a perfect way to show appreciation for your sister. Candles would be thoughtful and come in so many different sizes and scents. You can pick out several candles to make a display with, you can choose seasonal scents that spark the memory of certain holidays, or you can pick out a fragrance that reminds you of your sister. Stationery is another idea. Pick patterns and designs that might appeal to your sister. Since you have mutual family members and your sister will most likely use the stationery to write to these family members, it is also a way to show your personal connection to her. Flowers are another gift idea. They brighten any room and provide fragrant beauty.
Use a personal talent to make a gift for your sister. The added time and thought put into the gift will really show. If you are able to crochet, making a scarf or shawl for your sister is something that is not only useful, but also beautiful. If your talents are in the arts and crafts field, make a scrapbook for your sister. With 60 years of memories to incorporate, there is more than enough content to work with for this idea. Use old photographs from your youth and dry flowers to include with written memories. If 60 years seems to be overwhelming, try making a scrapbook based on a single event or trip that you and your sister experienced together. A framed family portrait is another handmade gift that you can give your sister. Find a clear picture of your family, take it to a store with a photo department to print a bigger version of the picture or make it black-and-white, then frame it in an elegant frame.
If you are running low on money, making coupon books is a free, creative way to show appreciation for your sister. Simply write things in a small book that you will later be able to provide. One coupon idea is to give a "Free back massage." After your sister receives this coupon, let her know that you will give her a massage anytime she wants. Another coupon idea is to clean your sister's house. On the coupon, you can write "Free housecleaning" or you can specify a specific room, such as the bathroom or kitchen. Instead of chores, coupons can also mention trips or activities. A coupon for "A trip to the country" could mean that you will plan a winery tour for a weekend getaway with your sister.
Gift Cards/Certificates
You can also buy your sister a gift card or gift certificate. Either purchase a gift card for a store that she likes to shop at or indulge her with a restaurant gift certificate. To make the gift more personalized, try finding a gift certificate that you two can enjoy together, such as a day spa or train tour.

WASHINGTON Just a month after world leaders fashioned a tentative and nonbinding agreement at the climate change summit meeting in Copenhagen, the deal already appears at risk of coming undone, the top United Nations climate official warned on Wednesday.
Facing a Jan. 31 deadline, major countries have yet to submit their plans for reducing emissions of climate-altering gases, one of the major provisions of the agreement, according to Yvo de Boer, the Dutch official who is executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which organized the climate meeting.
Fewer than two dozen countries have even submitted letters saying they agree to the terms of the three-page accord. And there has been virtually no progress on spelling out the terms of nearly $30 billion in short-term financial assistance promised to those countries expected to be hardest hit by climate change. Still unresolved are such basic questions as who will donate how much, where the money will go and who will oversee the spending.
After a contentious two-week conference in the Danish capital last month, representatives of more than 190 nations issued a skeletal document, known as the Copenhagen Accord, that sets climate-related goals for developed and developing countries, but without enforceable targets or timetables. The participants failed to agree to even the minimum expectation of the meeting: setting a firm deadline for negotiating a binding international climate change treaty.
In his first news conference and interview since the conference, Mr. de Boer said he remained hopeful that the near-failure at Copenhagen would produce meaningful results as the year progressed and the parties resumed negotiations.
After a month during which many participants expressed disappointment at the outcome and ascribed blame to various actors, Mr. de Boer described the next several weeks as a "cooling-off period that gives countries useful time to work with each other."
Next week, for example, the major developing countries that helped fashion the agreement China, India, Brazil and South Africa will meet in New Delhi to review the Copenhagen agreement and plan for the next phase of talks. None of them have yet inscribed their plans for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the Copenhagen document, Mr. de Boer said. Without a commitment to such plans, a major accomplishment at Copenhagen pledges by large polluters in the developing world to cut emissions will have been thwarted.
Mr. de Boer said several officials from those countries had told him that they negotiated the accord with the understanding that it would be formally adopted by all the nations at the conference. But in a raucous conclusion to the meeting in the early hours of Dec. 19, the conference agreed only to "take note" of the accord, not to endorse it. And five nations dissented even from that.
Mr. de Boer said he expected a number of countries to miss the Jan. 31 deadline, and he would not predict that they would ultimately submit their plans.
"Whether those countries do in fact decide to associate with it remains to be seen," he said.
Connie Hedegaard, the former Danish environment minister who is soon to become the European Union's commissioner for climate action, said it was critical for the United States and the large emerging economies to formally inscribe their pollution-reduction targets in the accord.
"I think much will depend on how countries treat that deadline," she said. "If only Europe and Japan come up with plans, then you have a very different situation than if the U.S. and major emerging economies all step up."
Todd Stern, the chief American climate negotiator, said the United States fully intended to enshrine in the accord its declared target of a 17 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by 2020. He, too, said it was "incredibly important" for all the other major emitters to submit their public pledges for inclusion.
But he also said that success of the accord hinged on the creation of a rigorous and enforceable system of monitoring and verifying emissions-reduction programs. The accord calls for such a system, but does not provide details.
The nations of the world, Mr. de Boer said, are counting on President Obama to follow through on the emissions-reduction pledge he made at Copenhagen, despite Congress's reluctance to pass an ambitious climate bill. "Any self-respecting person," he said, "would well like to deliver on what we promise."

Gypsies and Travellers are a part of British life, and have been so for many centuries. They make up a very small minority within the wider population. Gypsies and Irish Travellers are recognised under the Human Rights Act as ethnic minorities against whom discrimination is unlawful. Public authorities, including Local Authorities and the Police, have a general duty to eliminate unlawful discrimination, encourage equality of opportunity and good race relations in carrying out their functions.
There is an established resident Traveller population settled within the Darlington community.
Authorised sites for Travellers in Darlington
The Council provides three caravan sites for Gypsies and Travellers. In addition there are eleven small private owner occupied sites.
Rowan West (formerly Neasham Road) caravan site, Levisham Lane DL2 1QZ was established in the 1970s with 20 pitches. The Council closed the site on 9 March 2016 to allow the demolition and then building of a new 22 pitch caravan site with £1,870,00 grant funding from the Homes and Community Agency.
Rowan East caravan site, Levisham Lane DL2 1QZ opened on 23 March 2015 and is leased to Triplegate Properties. There are 16 residential pitches provided with an individual amenity block and a hard standing for up to 2 touring caravans. There are also 4 residential pitches, without amenity blocks, that are serviced for chalet caravans.
Honeypot Lane caravan site Elmtree Street DL3 0YH was established in the 1970s and is leased to a family that is part of the local Romany Community. Refurbishment of the residential pitches was completed in 2005 with the aid of a grant from central Government. A second transit site was built in 2006 using a grant from the then office of the Deputy Prime Minister. There are now 32 residential pitches (23 with their own amenity blocks and 9 pitches for mobile chalet type caravans) as well as 24 transit pitches for travellers who can stay for up to eight weeks. All pitches are hard standings and capable of accommodating two caravans, with tow vehicles, to allow families to be together.
There are two communal toilet blocks, for the use of residents on the transit pitches. Each of these blocks includes showers and separate accessible shower/toilet room and a laundry room with automatic washing machines and tumble driers.

You may have heard that Soapnet is airing a GH marathon this weekend. Unfortunately, I have Comcast and don't get Soapnet anymore. So I decided to put up some fun GH video's from YouTube instead. Enjoy!
Happy Easter Everyone!
It is with a heavy heart I have to announce that my time at Port Charles has come to an end. I'm not sure where Kristina is headed next but it was a beyond amazing opportunity to portray her…be part of the Davis Girls…have the Corinthos' passion and temper run though my veins and to witness history being made on this momentous show! I learned so much and am so grateful for the friendships I've made and experiences I've had. GH will always have a special place in my heart and I cannot thank y'all enough for tuning in loyally to watch me live my dream. But more importantly, THANK Y'ALL for your endless love, letters, support, encouragement, kind words, even the little hello's or a sweet smiley face…that love kept me going when I had difficulty navigating through Kristina's and my own journey this past year. Whenever I felt lost, I never truly felt alone and for that, I am eternally gratefully. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for your love. Thank you. Now keep watching GH!! The Nurses' Ball is mere days away!!
All my love and see you on the next adventure,
"Prospect Park has been extremely difficult to deal with on this issue so GH basically said, 'Screw it! We'll create all new characters!'" notes one source privy to the situation. "It's the only way GH can get past the problem and get on with business."

Tantra (Sanskrit, "woven together" or "web") is a tradition with roots in the pre-Hindu religions of Shaktiism and Shaivism. These religions each had a central ceremony, called a puja, honouring the yoni (Shaktiism, goddess worship) and linga (Shaivism, god worship). The earliest forms of tantra can be seen in 20,000 year old markings on cave walls that resemble the symbols still used in tantra yoga today.
Tantra became established as a religion in India around 800 CE when the sacred erotic temples were built. Early tantric beliefs were based on observations that life itself was the result of Love. When the people rebelled against the upper caste priesthood that controlled religious worship, the doorway to a Golden Age of Tantra was opened. The central theme of this new spirituality that swept across India was direct spiritual experience through ecstatic sexual practice, meditation and the use of sacraments.
The primary tantric texts, the Hindu Tantras, were written after the Puranas, in the medieval period, and are usually set in the form of a dialogue between the god Shiva and his consort Parvati, in which he explains to her the philosophy and myths underlying the tantric ritual. This ritual involves reversals of normal Hindu social practices and reversals of normal physiological processes (for instance, the drawing up of the semen out of the woman and into the body of the man). It also reverses the orthodox Hindu "five products of the cow," or panchagavya (milk, butter, curds, urine, and feces) used for purification; in Tantra, these become the "five m's": maithuna ("intercourse"), matsya ("fish"), mansa ("flesh"), mudra ("parched grain"), and mada ("wine"). Tantra was a bastion of ecstatic spirituality in a landscape of asceticism.
Soon, tantra evolved into a diverse tradition of various schools, with the sexual aspect always remaining an integral theme. Mystical experiences and altered states of consciousness were central to many of these schools. Best known to Westerners are the several strands of tantra yoga in which worship takes the form of a sexual ritual featuring slow, non-orgasmic intercourse with the intent of achieving an experience of the divine. The act of ritual lovemaking was understood as participation in the cosmic process. Another major school of Hindu tantra yoga is primarily meditational. Very similar to hatha yoga (body posture) and bhakti yoga (devotion), this form of tantra focusses mainly on visualization of deity, concentrating on yantras (glyphs), chanting mantras and the practice of tapas (austerity).
Some Indian tantra yoga teachers recommend practices that may include meditation but also by which subtle streams of energy are can be raised in the body by means of conscious posture and breath control. These tantric adepts were taught, by a guru, to raise their psychosexual energy, the curled serpent power (Kundalini) that lies at the base of the spine, through the chakras, until it reaches the highest chakra at the top of the skull, resulting in an experience of the union of the god and the goddess within oneself. This process, sadhana, begins with a systematic visualization of the deity, limb by limb, who materializes by yantras and mantras.
Additionally, tantric thought spread across the Asian continent and was absorbed to varying degrees in other Oriental religions. Contemporary Tibetan Buddhism contains a strand of tantra which appears to have derived from the ancient Tibetan religion of Bon. Like Hindu Tantra, Tibetan Buddhist tantra ranges from the purely meditational to the sexually active. Another great Asian philosophy/religion, Taoism, also has its own varying tantric schools. The most prevalent of these is Taoist tantric alchemy, which places some emphasis on the search for longevity or immortality through rigorous meditation and channelling of the psychosexual power of kundalini yoga. Sexual fluids were the fabled "elixirs of life."
This broad field of tantric sex ritualism is often labelled into two so-called paths of practice: The "right hand path" is one in which the ritual is meditational, or a monogamous rite. The "left hand path" is one in which multiple couples may engage in ritual sex at the same time, sometimes following the lead of a pair of teachers. This latter path is the one that has earned tantra the reputation of being orgiastic or evil among the ignorant and those prejudiced against sexuality.
Today, much of the wisdom of the East has been brought into the West and blended with the Western esoteric traditions. Most Westerners are familiar with "neo-tantra", or the primarily Western and modern forms of the tantric tradition. Neo-tantra has absorbed much from other sexual esoteric traditions, such as Native American Quadoshka, Gnosticism, Wicca, Qabalah and others. Therefore much of what is commonly referred to as tantra in the West has no roots whatsoever the the Hindu tantric tradition, although there are many similarities.
In the 19th century many neo-tantric traditions began cropping up in the West. Although they are often not descended from Hindu tantra, the author feels justified in calling them neo-tantra. Some neo-tantric forms, like karezza, do have Hindu roots. In the 1960s and 1970s in Europe and North America many people broke from traditional thinking, and Eastern mysticism and sexual freedom became increasingly popular. Meshing of traditions in these areas, along with a continued growth of interest in sex and mysticism has created a neo-tantric tradition of "tantric sex", in which the sexualility is quite apparent. This neo-tantric sex is often more concerned with exotic sexual techniques and better sex than religious experience. Whereas Western neo-tantra places much emphasis on sexuality in its practices, some modern tantra gurus insist that tantra yoga is not a sexual practice, purely a meditational and spiritual one.
Sexuality is indeed a powerful reservoir of energy,
which can be tapped through various methods of mental and physical exercise.
The truth of this is evidenced in the many similar forms of sexual mysticism
which have developed the world over. Just like the basic meditative
value of breathing in specific manners, the energies harnessed in sexual
mysticism are biological and very real, and so have been observed and practiced
as an art virtually everywhere. As society's sexual taboos continue
to crumble and science and mysticism teach us more about our selves, tantra
and related traditions will undoubtedly serve as the pathway to experience
of divinity for many seekers.

3 Misleading "Healthy" Foods You Should Avoid
Let's say you drive a brand new 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class AMG valued at over $225,000. The owner's manual clearly says to only use Premium Unleaded fuel. When you go to the gas station to fill up, what kind of gas do you use? Premium Unleaded Fuel. That's a no brainer. You use the exact type of fuel that you need to use in order to maximize the health of your precious vehicle.
Why is it that people can grasp this concept with a material item, like a car, but not with their own lives? Food is how you fuel your body, just like gasoline is how you fuel your car. Let's start putting premium food only into our mouths because that's what maximizes our health and general well being.
There are so many healthy options out there, but unfortunately, way more unhealthy options. To make matters worse, the unhealthy options are typically more convenient, cheaper and promoted with marketing campaigns. Often times, the combination of those three factors drive consumers into making an unhealthy decision.
Some brands even go a step beyond that. They advertise their products as healthy, when they are anything but. Here are 3 extremely popular "healthy" foods that are misleading.
#1: Low Fat or Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
Reducing fat sounds like a great thing, doesn't it? Usually it is, but in the case of Reduced Fat Peanut Butter it is not a good thing at all. First of all, why would anyone want to reduce the fat in Peanut Butter? Peanut Butter is a great source of healthy, mono and polyunsaturated fats which are linked to weight loss, improved heart health and excellent brain function. Why on earth would anyone want to reduce those benefits?
Let's take a look at the most popular "reduced fat" Peanut Butter, made by JIF. At approximately $5 per 16 ounces, you're basically paying more money for a product with nutritional deficiencies compared to its natural state. The fat that is taken out of this product is replaced by some shady ingredients.
There are 17 ingredients in this Peanut Butter. How is that even possible? Reduced Fat is a synonym for increased chemicals. If I were you, I'd stay away from ANY product that has claimed to reduce its fat. That is an immediate red flag!
What to eat instead:
You can spend a pretty penny looking for a great peanut butter, I've seen them priced as high as $10 for a 12 ounce jar. If you can afford it, by all means, go for it but if you're frugal like me you can go with the Smucker's Creamy Natural Peanut Butter. Guess what its ingredients are? Peanuts and Salt (2). That's it and that's how it should be. Oh, by the way it's about $3 for a 16 ounce jar, compared to the $5 you would have spent on a garbage reduced fat "peanut butter spread." Other great Peanut Butter brands you can check out are MaraNatha, Peanut Butter & Co., Justin's and Barney Butter. You should also check out the Almond Butters that those brands produce!
#2: Protein Bars
Protein bars are another very misleading "healthy" food. I'm not saying that every protein bar out there is terrible for you, but a lot of them are glorified junk food. Take these two bars, for example:
Bar A has:
250 Calories
12g Fat
27g Sugar
120 mg Sodium
18 Ingredients
Bar B has:
270 Calories
4.5g Fat
30g Sugar
240g Sodium
33 Ingredients
Which bar would you rather eat? You're probably not too thrilled about either of them but if you had to choose one, I bet you'd go with Bar A. It's lower in calories, sugar, sodium and overall ingredients. If you chose Bar A, like I would, you chose a Snickers Bar. It's not even a protein bar! Bar B, which is higher in calories, sugar, sodium and ingredients is actually a protein bar; it is the extremely popular Promax Cookies & Cream Protein Bar. Essentially, this protein bar is a candy bar with extra protein added. Sadly, many of the popular protein bars on the market follow this same trend. They're extremely processed, chemically enhanced and misleading.
I have a confession. I have a little bit of a sweet tooth. 9 times out of 10 I can ignore the sweet tooth begging me to feed it, but every now and then I give in to the temptation. Instead of a cookie, cupcake or candy I feed my sweet tooth with protein bars. We all have our vices. It's actually my New Year Resolution to quit eating protein bars in 2015, so I'll let you all know how that goes. But, I digress…
Bottom line is that we should acknowledge that most protein bars are fraudulent and replace them with healthy options that are actually beneficial. If you eat protein bars, ask yourself why. Here are three primary reasons for eating protein bars, along with suggestions for making a healthier decision.
- Increase protein intake for the day.
- If you're looking to increase your protein for the day try to get it from whole food sources like chicken, fish or grass-fed beef. An extra 1-2 ounces of these protein sources at lunch and dinner could give you the extra grams of protein you're looking for with a relatively low calorie count. Not much of a carnivore? You can't go wrong with Black Beans!
- If your goal is to eat more protein and you're dead set on using a supplement, try out Sun Warrior Protein Powder or Plant Fusion Protein Powder. These are two great plant-based protein powders with minimal ingredients, excellent taste and awesome health benefits when used correctly.
- Lastly, if you're stuck on the idea that a protein bar is for you, try out the RISE Protein Bar. These bars are packed with 20g of protein and taste excellent. They come in 4 different flavors and none of them have more than 5 total ingredients.
- Quick, convenient and tasty snack.
- Looking for a quick snack, but you're not concerned about the protein? Try to snack on a handful of almonds or cashews. Not a nut person? You could always have an apple, pear or portable veggies such as snap peas. All of these are delicious and easy to eat on the go.
- Fulfills sugar cravings.
- This may be the most difficult of the three. A craving is a craving, we can't control them but we certainly can contain them. Fresh fruit is a great way to deal with a sugar craving. I would even say it's okay to eat a fruit you normally wouldn't eat, that way it feels like more of a "treat." Bananas, dates and mango would get the job done.
#3: Subway
Subway: Eat Fresh! Right? Not really. Subway prides itself on being a healthy fast food option, tricking people into thinking that Subway is "good for you." Sure, a 6-inch Subway sandwich is healthy when you compare it to a Big Mac, McChicken and a Large Fry but in no way should it be considered to be a healthy option.
Money talks, as you all know. Subway is the largest single-restaurant chain globally with 43,000 locations in 107 countries. According to Forbes, the brand is valued at 6.6 BILLION dollars (5). They can go out and pay high-profile professional athletes to say, "Subway is the official training restaurant of insert name here." That, mixed with Jared Fogle's weight loss story is enough to make Subway look like a viable healthy eating option.
Subway will wow you with their lineup of low calorie, low fat sandwiches, but please read the fine print. The version of the sandwich they're describing is drastically different than what the consumer usually gets. Subway's nutritional statistics are taken from 6-inch sandwiches on 9-Grain Wheat Bread, with lettuce, tomato, green pepper and cucumbers. These stats do not take into account the fact that a lot of people are going to order a footlong, add a sauce, add cheese, add chips, add cookie and/or add a drink. By doing that, you go from bad to worse.
If you have the willpower and discipline to stand in front of a lineup of beautiful meats, cheeses, sauces and breads and STILL get the plain 6-inch… well, I commend you for that. Very impressive. But, unfortunately, you're still eating junk.
Do you know what dimethylpolysiloxane is? I didn't either, until I saw it on the ingredients list in Subway's egg patty (6) used in their breakfast sandwiches. Dimethylpolysiloxane, obviously, is not a food. It is a chemical defined as a polymer of silicone used especially in pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations (7). Seriously, I Googled dimethylpolysiloxane and terms such as Silly Putty and Dermasil show up in the results. Of course, there are extremely small amounts of this chemical in the food, but why is it even there to begin with? How are the ingredients of Subway's eggs not simply "eggs."
It doesn't stop there. One of the 20+ ingredients used in their chicken strips is "flavors." If you want to get a good laugh, take a look at Subway's official ingredients list.
If you've been eating Subway thinking it's a healthy option, I think the notes above are enough to convince you otherwise. However, I do understand that we're all busy. Subway is extremely convenient. There is practically one every 5-10 miles, so it seems like an ideal place to hit on your 30-60 minute lunch break from work. It's also very cost efficient, which is always a great thing. If either, or both, of these are reasons you enjoy Subway I would like to challenge you to a meal prep Sunday. Next Sunday you should prep your lunches for the week, put them in Tupperware and bring them to work with you every day. I will follow up with a separate blog dedicated to "meal prep" within the coming weeks! I guarantee this will save you time and money compared to eating out at a fast food restaurant! Most importantly, it will be a way healthier meal for you, getting you closer to your fitness goals every single day!
