Wow, what a whirlwind of a holiday. I ended up going on an unplanned road trip for nearly a week, one of those "pack now" things, and I managed to grab my toothbrush but didn't have time to even contemplate what to do with my kitchen pets. Thankfully though, I only came home to a very hungry sourdough and only lost some sprouts.
My ginger bug was fine, it was actually still bubbling though it hadn't been fed in almost a week. I had some ginger cream soda (ginger ale with a vanilla pod thrown in) in the refrigerator that I was worried might explode, but that turned out to be okay as well. I was going to post about my cherry ginger cider last week, but I left my computer. Had a lot of fun on the trip though.
Also, sweetie gave me Wild Fermentation as an eBook and Art of Fermentation as an audio book :). Audio books are great when you do chores, during kitchen time, or when you don't have a car and an errand can take from two to five hours. Right, ginger bug soda now.
If you don't know what a ginger bug is, it's basically a starter like sourdough, only for drinks instead of bread. You can use it to make your own lightly carbonated sodas without all the artificial additives and you control the sugar content. In fact, you can make a health tonic for it, as right away you are including ingredients with medicinal value. Ginger root itself has a number of healthy properties, and the lactobacteria within the root offer probiotic benefits. Even if you don't care about probiotics and additives in your food, just the fun of mixing up your own flavors is worth it. I dare you to find a ginger cherry apple cider (with allspice) on the supermarket isle. Not gonna happen.
There are many potential soda ingredients that could work together as far as flavor is concerned while giving your body whatever therapeutic boost you might need. Just think of all the fruits and vegetables that are praised for their nutritional and therapeutic value: cranberries, blueberries, carrots, lemons, there are a ton of possibilities here. I have indeed added carrot juice to one batch of my soda hoping to increase my son's vitamin A… Well that didn't work for him but maybe you'll like it. I loved it.
How to Make a Ginger Bug
It's super easy. You get a jar and put in equal parts (I use 1/8 cup, many people use 1 or 2 tablespoons) of fresh ginger root, sugar, and water. Stir it up, cover the jar with something that can breathe (a loose lid or a cloth with a rubber band) and feed it this same amount every day. Don't use a tight lid, the build up of carbon dioxide needs to escape so you don't have a small and sticky explosion. In a few days, your ginger bug will start to bubble. If you want to take a break from feeding it, a ginger bug in your refrigerator only needs to be fed once a week.
I run my ginger root through a food processor and keep a processed root in my refrigerator, taking out a bit of it each day. That way I don't have to cut it up each time. I've seen people use thinly sliced root, but when I was using a knife still I preferred to mince it as small as I could, exposing as much surface of the root as possible. Use organic; conventional ginger root may have been irradiated to increase shelf life, and the yeasts and bacteria naturally found in the root will have been damaged. Yes, I confirmed myself that I got better results with an organic root than a conventional root.
The sugar can be refined, but I use unrefined sugar. Brown sugar can also be used, just don't use an artificial sweetener. The sugar feeds the yeast and lactobacteria in the root, so low-calorie sugar substitutes will not work. After my trip though, I'm starting to wonder if perhaps I might be able to use half a measure of sugar, since the bug was still going after so long and my sodas have been a little too sweet for my taste. I'll play with that and get back to you on how it works. I've heard you can't use honey because of antibacterial properties, but I've also heard that once it is diluted with water honey will work just fine (we can see this in mead). I've yet to try that, it's on my "see what happens if I…" list.
For water I use filtered water. Tap water has chlorine in it which may interfere with bacterial growth. It might be possible to still ferment in it, but you may get decreased results. I'd also like to try different waters, to find out for myself if the minerals in my filtered tap water will benefit or damage my bug when compared to pure distilled water, or if spring water might be worth the cost. I do know this though: measure out your water every day. I read some recipes that had a set amount of water where you only measured out ginger and sugar every day, but I did not get results that were as good as measuring out the water along with the ginger and sugar. Besides, it would be harder to calculate how much sugar was in your mixture, by the time my bug was bubbly I ended up with something way too sweet and for some reason my bug wasn't getting as bubbly as it does when I measure out the water as well. I think the mix got too thick and syrupy for the bug to bubble properly. Measuring the water daily means your bug is consistent in its flavor and thickness.
How to Make Soda From a Ginger Bug
When your ginger bug is nice and bubbly and you have about a cup or two of it (I'd use two cups in a gallon), simply strain the ginger out and add the liquid to whatever juice you would like to turn into a soda. If you are using juice from a store, make sure that it does not contain anything but fruit juice and water. It can be pasteurized, and doesn't have to be organic (though that is preferred), but should not contain any additives or preservatives. Just fruit juice and water. Glass is the best container, if you use plastic go for a milk jug with a number 2 on the bottom and not the clear plastic with a number 1, number 1 plastic is not intended to be reused and is the plastic that leeches chemicals that may potentially mess with your hormones. A milk jug with a cap that screws on well will make the pressurizing step less dangerous (no explosion) and will be more air tight than with a cap that snaps on. Plastic is evil though. It makes baby dolphins cry.
You will likely need to remove some juice to make room for the bug, so pour out a glass and drink it. Funnel the ginger bug into the juice, cover lightly with a cloth or a loose lid, and wait a few days. Soon it should be bubbly. If you wish, you can then cap it tightly so the pressure builds and the soda is more carbonated. Careful, if the pressure builds up too much it may explode. This may be a good time to use that milk jug, you can squeeze it to see how the pressure is doing. If you'd rather use glass, you may wish to put it in a safe container. I had mine in a stock pot with a paper bag placed over it in the refrigerator when I was on vacation. You can "burp" it daily to release some of the pressure to prevent explosion. Best case scenario for a larger batch of soda: bottle the soda in reusable glass bottles and store in a cooler (that will contain explosions). Keep one plastic bottle, you can squeeze it to test how it is pressurizing and assume the glass bottle sodas will be comparable.
If you leave your soda on the counter longer, you will end up with something mildly alcoholic. Technically the soda is alcoholic as well, but in such small amounts that it's comparable to many shelved fruit juices at the store, something so miniscule that it isn't even required to be mentioned by the FDA. If you want to encourage alcohol growth, just leave it out on the counter until the bubbles start to decrease a little, indicating that either the alcohol is raising to a high enough level to start to kill the yeast, or that the sugar levels are decreasing (or both). Wild yeasts don't tend to make a highly alcoholic beverage, they die off when the brew is about beer strength. This is a bonus for me personally (not looking for my daily healthy soda to make me all woozy), and even better it doesn't need stuff like an airlock or sanitized equipment.
So, back to the recipe for this particular soda. Once upon a time, I had just filtered out my ginger bug and added it to a gallon of organic apple cider. I wondered what to do with the leftover ginger in my hand and had just decided to make tea with it when someone came by and gave me a giant bag of dried cherries. I quickly chopped about two cups of them up just a tad and threw them into my saucepan along with the ginger tea I had just made. I also decided to throw in about a tablespoon of ground allspice and 1/2 a cup of sugar (to offset the heat from the ginger being even more extracted than the simple bug).
Then I simmered it, covered, about half an hour on medium low. I believe the boozemakers call this a mash, and the resulting filtered liquid is a wort. So I strained the mash through some cheesecloth and simmered the wort uncovered to condense it (making a syrup) and let it cool before adding it to my jug of cider with the ginger bug in it already. Finally I covered it with an old clean tee-shirt scrap and a rubber band, let sit a few days and then:
A wonderfully spicy and sweet gently bubbly treat. Of the sodas I've made so far, this is my favorite, and not just because of the flavor. It's also because of the leftovers.
When I was done, I still had a handful of ginger root to wonder what to do with, only now there were also some cherries in it. Thankfully, inspiration struck and it was magnificent. I can't quite yet compost in my apartment (worms are on my wish list) and while I could cook with my leftovers (cherry gingerbread muffins sounded tempting) I thought of something better.
Yay food dehydrator! See, I've started a rejuvelac habit as well. It tends to be my breakfast, or the last thing I eat for the day (still haven't decided which habit to keep). When I finish the drink, I just eat the sprouted grain (so far I've only tried wheat and rye). While I don't mind the flavor, I don't exactly look forward to it either. But if I powder things I strain in my ginger bug sodas, and add perhaps a tablespoon of flax seed (I've heard flax is more beneficial if not cooked) I can add this to the rejuvelac. I still get some sludge at the bottom that I spoon out to eat, and I'm sure I'll come up with a smoothie type recipe soon, but for now this is working quite well :).
Next time I wish to add fruits to my ginger bug sodas, I'll likely add the cooled mash to the jug for at least a couple of days so the probiotics can colonize the mash. Alternately, I might skip the mash part and just add all fruit ingredients to the ginger bug itself. Then when I strain out my flavorings, they will also be infused with probiotic bacteria. I can put my dehydrator on the lowest temp (which is 95°F, not higher than body temperature so safe for probiotics) and my rejuvelac flavor powder will contain even more beneficial goodness. If I manage to get into the homemade yogurt thing and use that as a smoothie base, I'll have an even more diverse set of microbes and probiotic strains to my breakfast. That's a work in progress though, and something I'm still thinking through. In the meantime, I've managed to figure out a great way to use instead of waste my leftovers from the ginger bug.
Update: It turns out that throwing a vanilla pod into your bug, or your fermenting soda (or both), works out very nice indeed for a Ginger Cherry Cream Cider. Also, I'm out of dried cherries and they don't carry them at my local store. Sigh.

We've seen the craziness that celebs face every day just trying to walk out their front doors. Being swarmed by fans and photographers 24/7 has got to get old fast, so it shouldn't come as a shock that Gigi Hadid is asking her fans to give her some space.
Yesterday, Gigi posted on Twitter asking her fans to kindly not stalk her while she's at home – a totally reasonable request.
After Kylie Jenner had to call out a fan for grabbing her, we're not surprised that Gigi's requesting that fans respect her privacy. No one should be ambushed at their own home.

OrderStatusChange specific employee notification module for Prestashop
This is a very special module for Prestashop that allows a shop administrator to set a specific employee, or several specific employees, to be notified of order status changes and separate / different employees can be set to be notified for every order status change.
In the original notification system of Prestashop, a default admin e-mail address has to be set, and that e-mail has to receive all the notifications for everything related to the shop, which is very cumbersome in bigger companies, where different people take care of different things.
One person manages the orders with regard to accountancy and billing (financial department), and another one will manage the boxing and actual shipping of the products. This module allows the shop administrator to do just that, allocate different people, different e-mail addresses for each specific order status.
The module is available on the official, Prestashop Addons Marketplace, and is presented here only as a potential source of traffic to the official page. Please check out the OFFICIAL PAGE to find out more about the module and purchase it.

Classic 97.3FM breakfast trio reunitedBy Jonas Lopez in Media News on Monday, 20th January 2020 at 3:54pm
ARN's 97.3FM in Brisbane is bringing back the old breakfast crew of Robin Bailey, Terry Hansen, and Bob Gallagher on 28 January.
ARN national content director Duncan Campbell said reassembling the triumvirate was a coup in itself, considering all that happened before.
ARN didn't renew Bailey's contract in 2017 and she went to Triple M until leaving last September to tend to husband Sean Pickwell's bout with illness. Gallagher left the show last year for personal reasons. Their respective replacements, Bianca Dye and Mike van Acker, worked well with Hansen.
Ruth de Glas is back for another run as executive producer.
"It's wonderful to be back at 97.3FM, it's where I'm meant to be. I've missed the connection, the conversations and our listeners. It's a new year and a new time in my life and it feels so right to bring the old band back together with Tez and Bob. Our focus is to bring the best of

Smith Journal shuts downBy Jonas Lopez in Media News on Thursday, 16th January 2020 at 1:59pm
Men's magazine The Smith Journal is ending its operations.
Editor Chris Harrigan said in a Pedestrian TV interview that a decline in advertising revenues is affecting the magazine's bottom line.
"How you can model your business to provide people with the stories that they want: I mean, that sounds like it should be easy enough to do, but for whatever reason… It's no surprise to anyone that publishing is not the healthiest it's ever been, and it hasn't been in a decade," he lamented.
As such, Volume 33 (pictured) will be the final issue. The magazine was established in 2011.

10 Reasons Your Horse Is Living A Better Life Than You
Scroll through Facebook or Instagram and it is on many 'inspiring' quote or hastag #livingmybestlife but you're not, your horse is. Horse ownership should come with a disclaimer that explains its most about being covered in hair / mud / poo and paying vet bills or replacing expensive broken things. If you don't agree let's look at just a few reasons why your horse is living a better life than you right now
Whats in a picture?
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and as someone who has always enjoyed photography I would tend to agree but what is it that makes a specific photo special to us?
An Introduction to Herbs for Horses
When I was in school, the highlight of every week was riding a big chestnut mare called Jenny. Jenny got arthritis and in an effort to help the yard to treat her I started researching what could help. This was long before the days of being able to buy ready made and mixed herbal remedies for horse aliments in Ireland but after reading everything I could get my hands on I found a shop on Georges street in Dublin that had a wall full of A – Z herbs. The lovely man who owned it was fascinated by my use of the products for horses and became a big help. I started mixing tailored herb mixes for the big mare and for horses belonging to friends. These mixes helped and to this day I have remained fascinated by how the plants and herbs that we can so readily avail of can help to heal. There are many herbal remedies that can be used and I would encourage everyone to do their research. The herbs and plants listed below and those I have personally used and found beneficial. Often products come onto the equestrian market that are based on a specific plant, it is always worth checking the ingredients as it may be cheaper to simply source the key ingredient (ingredients are often listed under the latin name of the plant). As with everything, if you are competing, make sure to check the permitted substances list for your sport and governing bodies to ensure that any supplement you feed is permitted for competitors.
5 Mistakes You Might Be Making When Washing Your Horse
- Using cold water
You wouldn't wash your own hair in cold water! Using warm water will allow your shampoos and products to lather much better. It also feels more pleasant for the horse. Mix your shampoo into warm water in a bucket and lather up and apply with a sponge or soft cloth
The Reality of Being Short Sighted Equestrian
Having no idea which horse is yours without wearing glasses or contact lenses, you just know what colour blur it should be.
Experiencing the unique pain of a horses head bashing your glasses into your face.
Psychological Reality of a Showjumping Lesson
Oh no, poles, not the poles!
Relax for god's sake, they are poles what's the worst that can happen?
Kill me now, I can't even get over pole with a bit of grace and elegance.
Decathlon – Equestrian Deal or No Deal?
I had been hearing a lot of good things about Decathlon recently. I had never been to any of the stores myself but a friend needed some water proof jodhpurs and recommended their Kipwarm ones to me. My old water proofs have given up the ghost and a new pair would be approx. €80 compared to the Kipwarm ones on sale for £26.99.
I ordered from the UK site and used Parcel Motel (www.parcelmotel.com) as my delivery address to get the UK sale price. I ordered a pair of the brown Kipwarm jodhpurs. I wasn't sure of sizing so used the guide on the website. The order was despatched really fast and I had the product within three days!
The common problems I have with jods / breeches are – too long in the leg, too wide in the waist, uncomfortable stitching or patches on the knee, uncomfortable material, too thin for Winter, stitching going due to very wide horse. With these, I am delighted to say I had none of these problems. They are lined with a fleece type material and have a waterproof outer. The knee patches are really comfortable. The ends are a silky material – no buttons, no Velcro, no uncomfortable folding or bulk around the ankle.
After seeing how good the brown were I then bought a black pair at full price(http://www.fouganza.co.uk/kipwarm-warm-jodhpurs-black-id_8317560.html) and also picked up a couple of pairs of socks and a lightweight top. I have worn these riding, teaching, lunging and doing yard work and I love them. They jodhpurs are waterproof – I found this out when I accidentally sprayed my entire leg with a hose!
However – one point to note – these do look like leather. I have had a few people asking me why I am wearing leather trousers riding horses and I do feel a bit like an extra from the matrix in them but for the price and the comfort I really don't mind. I also have purchased a pair of the denim style lighter jods and they are really lovely.
Another friend swears by the company for all sports equipment and loaned me a pair of the half chaps to try – these are really close contact, lightweight and best of all can be washed in the washing machine. Hers are almost two years old and are still looking good – not bad for £14.99 (http://www.fouganza.co.uk/black-pu-300-half-chaps-id_8011221.html)
Decathlon are definitely going into the deal category for me.

One of our two highly qualified Chiropractors, Sophie Gremion-Garrone, graduated from the Institute Franco-Europeen de Chiropractique, Paris with a Doctorate in 1990. After University, Sophie worked in private practice until 1998 before joining her husband in London, where she concentrated on raising their two daughters and worked for Greenwich Council, providing Chiropractic care for their members of staff.
Sophie has over 24 years Chiropractic experience and uses the latest technology and treatments suitable for all age groups. She takes time to listen to her patients and to really understand their needs, plus Sophie has the ability to engage and empathise, a key reason why Sophie's client base is built solely on recommendation. Her treatment techniques alleviate the following symptoms:
Back and Lower Back pain, Headaches and Migraines, Neck pain, Shoulder and Arm problems, Sciatica, Scoliosis, Rounded Shoulders, Sports Injuries
Back pain during pregnancy?
Being a mother has given Sophie a particular interest in the care of pregnant women and paediatric Chiropractic care. She took further studies in paediatrics, which complements her expertise of the Chiropractic treatment of pregnant women and children. She uses gentle but effective techniques, with no manipulation, using a very precise piece of equipment known as an activator, alongside other adjusting methods such as SOT.
Sophie understands that if a patient has a misalignment in the spine, sacrum or pelvis, very often relating to poor posture or a chronic back problem, the resulting distortion can create a twist in the muscular basket. This in turn can cause pain and lead to a more difficult birth.
Chiropractors aim to correct these distortions of the abdominal muscles by balancing the pelvis, sacrum and spine using gentle techniques – trigger points, stretching and increasing tonus by inducted or active exercise. These techniques are very safe for both the mother and baby.
Chiropractic benefits during pregnancy
Chiropractic treatments can be safely carried out through all trimesters of pregnancy, until the day of delivery. As the pregnancy progresses, there will be an increase in circulating hormones which cause significant muscle and ligamentous relaxation. This is why one of a number of adjusting techniques, provides maximum comfort and safety for mother and baby. The frequency of care varies from one mother to another, but for a non-complicated pregnancy, chiropractic treatments will range from once a week to once a month depending on the stage of the pregnancy and the symptomatology. Sophie knows that Chiropractic treatments can overcome many of the challenges associated with pregnancy, can optimise well-being and allow mothers to enjoy a very special time in their life.
Clinical studies have shown that during a normal pregnancy, chiropractic treatments will enable pregnant women to carry out low impact activities such as swimming, walking and stretching exercises. Findings, backed up by studies in America, have shown that Chiropractic care during pregnancy allows the mother to be more active during all trimesters, the need for analgesics and period of labour is reduced and the delivery is less painful. Regular referrals are made from General Practitioners and nurses, who are notified of their patient's progress throughout the Chiropractic treatments.
Customer feedback
In 1998 I was injured and lost my job in the Police Service with a spinal injury, as a result of a being assaulted on duty. I was told by the Chief Surgeon for Metropolitan Police that my injury would get worse with age. The pain did get so bad I went to Sophie at the Chiropractic clinic about 18 months ago and she would relieve the pain from the pressure on my spine and I would feel better for a few weeks. In fact I went every month for corrective treatment to my spine. During this treatment Sophie suggested I get a up to date x-ray of my spine, which was done at her clinic. It transpired that my spinal injury had made me walk differently and as a result my left hip had worn out. I am shortly going to have a new left hip operation and I am convinced and so is Sophie that this will give me a better quality of life with less pain. I would never have come to this conclusion without the help of Sophie and her Chiropractic sessions. To conclude I am indebted to this very pleasant and understanding lady who has helped give me a better quality of life, in fact as a result my wife and both my sons now attend for regular spinal checks with the clinic. – Paul

It's really very easy to make Welsh Cakes if you have great ingredients and a few simple tools. Now, because of our Welsh Cake mixes, you can create your own amazing Welsh Cakes in the comfort of your own home.
You will need a rolling pin, a bowl and a spoon for mixing. An egg (or egg substitute), a little butter and a spot of milk. An electric or stovetop griddle or frying pan will be perfect for griddling your cakes.
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat (2.5 on an electric stove) or an electric griddle to around 250 / 300 degrees F.
In a large bowl or food processor, add mix and butter. Cut butter into dry mix with a fork, or pulse in food processor until the mix resembles coarse meal.
Pour mixture into a large bowl. Add flavor ingredients (Chocolate Chips, Currants or Cranberries) and blend with a spoon.
In a small bowl, whisk egg and milk. Gradually add egg mixture to dry mixture. You may not need all the liquid. The dough should resemble a smooth ball of cookie dough and should not be wet.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, dust rolling pin with flour and roll to 1/3" thick, about the thickness of a wooden spoon handle. Cut with 3" round cutter, re-rolling scraps until you have 12 cakes approximately.
Cook approximately 5 minutes per side until cooked through and golden brown. Cakes will rise slightly when cooking.
Eat warm or cool and store leftovers in an airtight container.
The cut dough can be wrapped and frozen (keep for a month) or put in the fridge (for a week) and then left to thaw prior to griddling so you can make fresh Welsh Cakes anytime.
We love to eat our Welsh Cakes plain, with a dab of butter or honey or even with a little jam.
We hope you enjoy making Welsh Cakes as much as we do. Have fun and happy griddling!

Remember your parents telling you sitting too close to the TV would make you blind? Well, now when parents tell young kids to turn off the 3D on Nintendo's 3DS 'cause it'll ruin their eyes—they'll actually be right.
The machine translation is a little rough, but the gist is clear: Nintendo has issued a warning that kids under six shouldn't use the 3DS's 3D mode because their vision is still "in the development stage," and the way that stereoscopic 3D works, delivering different images to each eyeball, "has a potential impact on the growth of children's eyes."
To keep the childrens away from 3D, the 3DS will apparently have a parental lock on 3D, locking the 3DS in 2D mode. Even with the parental lock, though, this is pretty crazy. Nintendo issuing a warning explicitly stating, "Hey, our product could screw up your child's vision." Who's gonna buy that for their kids?
If there's a more powerful argument against 3D—besides the fact so much of the content is still pretty weak—I don't know what it is. [Nintendo Japan via Electronista]

Understanding the key differences between BaaS and DRaaS
There are a number of differences between BaaS and DRaaS. BaaS or Backup as a Service means that your data is backed up online by an external service provider to an off-site storage system. You decide what files should be backed up eg application development, databases, images, source code and/or other data files. The service provider is available on demand to restore such data as deemed required by the customer, should a problem occur such as corruption or accidental deletion.
However, it is the customer's responsibility to have a suitable platform available so that if a major problem occurs, such as fire, flood or breach, you may have to install and configure the required hardware. And this takes time – from 24 to 48 hours. Once this is done, your Backup as a Service provider restores the data and your business is back up and running.
DRaaS or Disaster Recovery as a Service does BaaS and more. Yes, DRaaS backs up your data securely whilst meeting regulatory and compliance requirements. But it also backs up your services and applications – not just your data. This means that should a disaster occur, such as a cyber-attack or even a power cut, your data and critical infrastructure are restored within a previously agreed timeframe. This is usually between one and four hours.
With BaaS, your service provider manages, tests and maintains your data backups and your provider also restores it – but it is only the data that the provider is responsible for restoring.
DRaaS involves assessing and evaluating the business risk. With DRaaS, company servers are replicated either to a secondary site (if the company has one) or increasingly, off-site to the cloud. The replication level and timeframe is agreed during the consultation and the solution is customised to meet that timeframe. It could be a minimum, scaled-down running environment or a full copy of the entire infrastructure in the cloud.
If a disaster strikes, the DRaaS provider restores the infrastructure as agreed in the Service Level Agreement. This includes file systems, hosted applications and current system configurations. Your DRaaS provider deploys the disaster recovery servers and provides the staff and applications with remote access. So, the only thing you have to worry about is turning on the replicated servers and getting back to work.
With all these differences between BaaS and DRaas, how do you choose?
Choose BaaS if…
- You can easily reassemble your infrastructure in case of disaster
- Access to data is not required frequently
- Your RPO and RTO are acceptable
- You have a disaster recovery specialist in house
- You need a cost effective solution
Choose DRaaS if…
- Your IT infrastructure can't be easily and quickly rebuilt
- You use web-services or applications that require 24/7 access by staff and/or customers
- Your data requirements are increasing dramatically
- You've calculated that the additional expense is worth the potential losses with downtime

One person was killed in a head-on collision in Greenburgh on Feb. 27. The early morning collision seemed to be the result of a wrong way driver.
According to New York State Police, the fatal car accident occurred just before 3:57 p.m. on the southbound side of the Sprain Brook Parkway near Route 100B, after the Hudson Valley Transportation Management Center responded to a report about a wrong-way driver at 3:52 a.m. Police report that a 20-year-old Yonkers man, driving a 2013 Honda Civic, was travelling north on the southbound side and collided head-on with a 2011 Honda Pilot, driven by a 46-year-old Hartsdale man.
The driver of the Pilot was killed in the accident. The other driver was taken to Westchester Medical Center where he was listed in stable condition. It was unknown why the driver of the Civic had been travelling the wrong way on the highway, but alcohol and marijuana use might have played a role in the incident. In similar incidents, distracted driving from texting or talking on a cellphone as well as road conditions have also been factors.
In a situation such as this, the family of the decedent might decide to file a wrongful death claim. They might await the results of the police investigation to file the claim, and a personal injury lawyer representing the family might use the information from the police report as evidence that the liable driver in a case was also negligent. Negligence might be proved through evidence that shows the liable driver violated the rules of traffic by doing such as things as speeding, driving under the influence or driving while distracted. If the family files a successful claim, they might receive compensation for their economic losses that can include funeral and burial expenses as well as for their non-economic losses.

First, the words. I looooooooove words. And while I don't feel the need to pepper my work with two buck words when a nickel one will do (the word is 'use', folks, not 'utilize'), I do adore our crazy language. Cool article in the Star today, examining how some words morph into very different meanings, and as it had 'ostrobogulous' in the title, you just knew I had to read it. Take a whiffle through the list, but please don't fluff if there is anyone else in the room.
Moving right along...pictures. Okay. This is mean and cruel, just how you like me. There were a couple of articles yesterday on Mississauga's mayor, Hazel McCallion. There's no point riffing on her age; I've seen younger oak trees three men couldn't join hands around. But now she's allegedly gone and been caught mucking about in her son's business deals. Which a court will decide, not a blogger, but here's the part that made me raise my eyebrows: there is apparently a fundraiser calender that was made featuring celebrities. Two of the celebrities are Hazel and her son, Peter.
Now, follow that link, and tell me what the hell they did to poor Hazel to make her look like that. They've tarted her up! It's nuts! And, Peter? Yeah, not so much, cowboy. Step away from the car, and maybe I'd buy the calendar. But in my world, black-stetsoned pretend moguls from Mississauga don't constitute celebrities. And mostly I'm shuddering that this guy is Mr. January. January is my month. Shudder.
You step on toes if you diss the Hazel. Let me say it once, very loudly: Term Limits.
No politician should be holding the same office for more than two terms. Period. Familiarity breeds far more than contempt; it breeds entitlement, it breeds favours, it breeds laziness and it breeds fear of power over respect of process.
Speaking of entitled a**holes, perhaps you're following the horrific case of the Toronto Humane Society. Tim Trow, the head ass, is finally getting called on the carpet for indescribable events going on with your money. (An aside: Your money will now be used for the legal defence of those who harmed those animals you've been trying to help be saved.) Yeah, all those sobby ads on TV pleading for your money. Which has apparently been going to all manner of things, very few of which result in appropriate care for animals. Terrible conditions, and, wait. Do you remember that pitbull that started the whole pitbull ban? The one who nearly killed a 3-year-old 6 years ago, and had bitten others, and was judged - by a court - too aggressive to live? Yeah. That one. Still living in the office of this Tim Trow. Who just wuvved this puppy so much!
In defiance of court orders, five years - and more biting - later, this animal went after a cop who went in the office to secure it. The cop pepper sprayed it. Should have shot the stupid thing. I love animals; I love people more.
They found a mummified cat in the suspended ceiling. At the Humane Society. Apparently this cat wasn't wuvved quite so much by Trow.
The video of the poor cat is awful. But at least they didn't paint it up with lipstick and pose it beside a car. Like our Mississauga cover girl.

Liposuction is a surgical technique that removes excess "adipose tissue" (fat) from specific stubborn fat deposits on the body. The purpose of liposuction is to improve body contour and reduce overall body size. Liposuction enables individuals who feel out of proportion due to their body shape or persistent fatty deposits despite achieving an optimal weight to become more proportional and look as fit, athletic and toned as they usually are!
During liposuction, localized deposits of fat cells that are resistant to diet and exercise are removed using a thin wand (known as a surgical "cannula") and a vacuum to improve body contour. Common areas amenable to liposuction have amusing nicknames in popular culture: the hips, thighs ("saddle bags"), abdomen ("pooch"), flanks ("muffin-top" or "love handles"), buttocks ("banana roll"), arms ("bat wings"), and neck ("turkey waddle"). Accumulation of stubborn fat in these areas is called "Lipodystrophy" in the medical literature.
Liposuction is a simple and effective procedure to contour the body with less downtime than other more invasive surgeries. Liposuction can be performed on multiple areas of the body at one time, and can also be added as a complimentary procedure to breast surgery, tummy tuck surgery, body contouring or facial surgery.
Good candidates for liposuction include healthy individuals of normal weight with good skin tone and elasticity, both men and women who have concentrated pockets of fat resistant to weight loss, and people who have achieved the maximum possible results with regular exercise and healthy, balanced diet.
Liposuction is not an alternative to weight loss and should be postponed if additional weight loss or pregnancy is planned in the near future for the best possible results. Please see our Preparing for Surgery section to learn more about optimizing your results from liposuction by becoming the best possible candidate for surgery.
Dear Dr. Horton, Thank you very much for my results from surgery. I feel like I look fantastic and balanced. All my clothes have a whole new meaning and I love getting dressed everyday now."
Most liposuction cases are done using standard liposuction, also known as "suction-assisted lipectomy" (SAL). During this traditional liposuction technique, concentrated areas of fat to be removed are marked on the skin preoperatively while standing up. Injection of tumescent solution as described above is done for all cases of liposuction. This is known as the "Tumescent Technique" and is most safe way to remove fat while decreasing bruising and promoting postoperative comfort.
Liposuction can be performed in the office, but for optimal safety and patient comfort we usually recommend having surgery under general anesthesia in the main operating room as an outpatient (same-day) procedure. Most routine cases of liposuction remove up to a few liters of fat (3-5 pounds, up to 10 pounds of fat). "Large volume liposuction" refers to surgery where more than 5 liters of fat are removed (over 10 pounds). For safety, an overnight stay is usually recommended if many areas at once are being treated or if a large volume of fat removal is planned.
Ultrasonic liposuction is a two-stage procedure that first treats the fat with a wand that delivers ultrasound energy inside the body to help "melt" the fat before its removal. Regular liposuction is then used to remove the fat in the same operation. Other names for this technique are "ultrasound-assisted lipectomy" (UAL) or "Vaser" (a brand name of one type of machine). Ultrasonic liposuction is usually recommended for very stubborn fat deposits such as redo liposuction and other difficult-to-treat areas such male breast tissue ("gynecomastia") or lipodystrophy associated with medications used to treat HIV.
Another machine that is infrequently used has a vibrating wand that purports to decrease surgeon fatigue. Known as "power-assisted liposuction" (PAL), this technique is not commonly performed by most Plastic Surgeons.
New machines and technologies emerge on the market every year. Many of these have brand names that are heavily promoted in the media and on large billboards to the general public. While these procedures often have familiar brand name recognition, there is no guarantee that they are appropriate for every patient in every situation.
In our practice, we only offer procedures and treatments that are FDA-approved, clinically proven and recommended by our professional societies, which are limited to Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons. For safety and to find the very best fit of procedure to match your specific body contouring goals, a formal in-person consultation including a complete history and full physical examination is essential.

Liposuction is very often part of a Mommy Makeover! Common areas addressed by liposuction in Moms include the abdomen, flanks, pubic region, hips, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, arms and neck or chin. Please see our Mommy Makeover section to learn about changes that commonly occur in the body after pregnancy and about liposuction as a component of a Mommy Makeover!
Please see our Preparing for Surgery section to learn about what happens in the operating room on the day of surgery.
During liposuction, tiny incisions are hidden in natural body creases such as the groin, belly button, armpit or buttock crease. Through these incisions, a special fluid mixture called "Tumescent Solution" is infiltrated into the fat. Tumescent solution contains normal saline (sterile salt water) which helps to "plump up" the fat cells for removal, adrenaline (epinephrine) which acts as a "vasoconstrictor" to decrease bruising and prevent bleeding, and a local anesthetic (lidocaine) which makes the area numb for many hours up to a few days after surgery and promotes postoperative comfort.
Next, a blunt-ended, thin-diameter wand known as a "Cannula" is introduced through the tiny incisions to gently suction out excess fat using a Vacuum. Fat cells are removed permanently! The treated areas are "feathered out" at their edges to blend naturally with the surrounding areas. At the end of the procedure, dissolving sutures are placed and a Compression Garment is applied. Surgery can take an hour and a half up to several hours if multiple areas are treated.
After liposuction, mild discomfort requiring oral pain medication and swelling is expected for a few days. You will be given oral prescription pain medication and can switch to regular Tylenol when you feel ready. Medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen and other NSAIDs (Excedrin, Motrin, and Aleve) must be discontinued two weeks before and after surgery to limit bruising.
Bruising is expected after liposuction for 2-3 weeks. You will awake wearing a compression garment. It is recommended you wear your garment continuously for the first 3-5 days after surgery before removing it to shower, as your swelling will peak during this early postoperative period.
You can return to work within a few days, and resume exercise in a few weeks, or when you feel ready. You should continue to wear your compression garment for up to six weeks after liposuction to promote the flattest and firmest body contour possible. Numbness and overall tiredness is common for a few weeks after surgery.
It can take 3 months up to a year for all surgical swelling to subside and for the final results of liposuction to be apparent. Please see our Postoperative Instructions section for additional information pertaining to recovering from liposuction.
There are two Distinct Layers of Fat in the body: the Deep Layer (where excess fat is stored) and the Superficial Layer of fat (for instance in the face, at the ankles or over the sternum). Pinch your own sternum for an example of your superficial layer of fat. There is a structural anatomic boundary between these fatty layers known as "connective tissue" which is made up of collagen and elastin. The makeup of connective tissue is primarily genetic and differs between men and women.
Cellulite is a specific structural condition that occurs primarily in women but can also exist in men. As fat is stored and accumulates in the deep layer of fat, it bulges upward and is visible through the skin surface as dimpling, creating the "cottage cheese" contour of cellulite. Cellulite is a natural anatomic phenomenon that cannot be prevented or removed.
In most men, the connective tissue boundary between the deep and superficial fat layers is naturally strong and cross-linked, which prevents excess fat to be seen even if very thick (think of a big, smooth beer belly!) Unfortunately for most women, their connective tissue layer is naturally less cross-linked and weaker, becoming prone to further weakening with age. It is for this reason that women develop cellulite in dependent areas where fat is stored after a certain age (buttocks, back of the thighs), and why cellulite often persists despite being physically fit or obtaining a normal weight.
Liposuction specifically treats localized fat deposits ("lipodystrophy") that persist despite a healthy diet, optimal weight and regular physical activity. Liposuction therefore only removes fat from the deep layer and stays out of the superficial layer. This ensures that only true surpluses of fat are removed and that the skin maintains its smooth and natural contour without creating ugly "ripples" or "waves" (irregularities) in its surface.
While liposuction does not specifically remove cellulite (nothing can), it can potentially improve the appearance of cellulite by debulking the deep layer of fat and lessening the tension on the skin from below. Wearing a postoperative compression garment facilitates a smooth skin contour and contraction of skin evenly after liposuction.
When you are considering any type of surgery, you should be fully educated about potential risks and complications. Please see our Preparing for Surgery section to learn about risks and potential complications related to surgery and Postoperative Instructions for additional information pertaining specifically to liposuction.
Visit our patient gallery to see before and after liposuction results!
As women Plastic Surgeons, we intimately understand how a woman's feelings about her body can influence her body image and self-esteem, and we aim to give you the results you are looking for! At your liposuction consultation, your surgeon will spend a great deal of time with you to get to know you personally and take a complete medical history. We will explore your reasons for seeking body contouring, examine you, and if you are an appropriate candidate for surgery, your options will be described in detail.
Please note that pricing will vary and all information provided represents an average of typical costs and time and does not guarantee pricing or availability.

During these cold, comfort-food ridden months I've been craving something fresh. The Alkaline Sisters has solved my problem. These two sisters decided to change their eating habits to include more raw foods and focus on foods that decrease inflammation in the body and increase energy and overall health. With beautiful food photography, scrumptious recipes, and great resources for alkalizing and revamping your eating habits (and waistline), I believe I've found a new favorite food blog!
Dr. Robert Young, Ph.D is the founder of the Alkalarian Diet. According to his theory:
…when the blood becomes too acidic, the body will take whatever action necessary to regulate the acid-alkaline balance of the blood. According to Young, in this environment the body will begin to break down and show signs of disease including cancer, obesity, osteoporosis, yeast overgrowth, flu, skin disorders, etc. Young researches and writes about pleomorphism occurring on a cellular level. Young's fundamental theory is that the human body is alkaline by design and acidic by function and that there is only one sickness, one disease, and one treatment. Young claims that this one sickness and one disease is acidosis, the over-acidification of the blood and then tissues due to an inverted way of living, eating, and thinking. The "one treatment" is to maintain the alkaline design of the body through an alkaline lifestyle and diet.
Young's books recommend an alkaline protocol consisting of a low-stress lifestyle and a high-water content, high chlorophyll, plant-based diet. The protocol recommends moderate intake of high-carbohydrate vegetables, some grains, and fresh fish. Young recommends abstaining from "acidic" foods — such as sugar, red meat, shellfish, eggs, dairy, processed and refined foods, stored grains, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, and sodas — because overloading the body's ability to eliminate excess acidity will result in the body becoming sick and decomposing. Young claims that disorders such as weight gain, water retention, cholesterol, calcium stones, and tumors are all life-saving mechanisms for storing and dealing with excess acidity in the body. Young's writings commonly explain these theories using a "fish tank" metaphor that compares the environment of the human body to the environment of a fish tank. (source Wikipedia)
pH Scale: a system of describing acidity or alkalinity, ranging from pH 0 to pH 14, with pH 7 being neutral. Values lower than 7 indicate acidity; those higher than 7 indicate alkalinity. Each number on the pH scale represents a tenfold change in acidity or alkalinity. Thus pH 5 is 10 times more acid than pH 6, and pH 4 is 100 times more acid than pH 6; pH 11 is 1,000 times more alkaline than pH 8. In general, plants grow best in the pH range of 4 (very acid) to 8 (slightly alkaline). (Source: Wikipedia)
Alkalosis: a condition reducing hydrogen ion concentration of arterial blood plasma (alkalemia). Generally alkalosis is said to occur when arterial pH exceeds 7.45. The opposite condition is acidosis. (Source: Wikipedia)
To learn more about alkalizing your body: go here, read Dr. Young's book The pH Miracle (I read it as a teenager and remember it being an interesting read, but I think I'll re-read it), and check out the Alkaline Food Chart to see what foods are more alkalizing to the body and which aren't.
Happy weekend!

Containers in South-Africa
Ten years ago the very first container sent to South-Africa by K-TAINER was destined for family van der Kraak.
A good associate of ours recommended K-TAINER to us. We enjoyed our contact and purchased a second hand container of good quality.
Before the shipping could occur, a lot of paper work had to be done.
A pack list, a bill of lading... and more terms that were – at the time- not quite familiar to us. Fortunately the people at K-TAINER were willing and able to guide us through the process. The container arrived in excellent condition, even the glasses were intact!
A few years later the family moved house and office. This meant that in the end, they had need of two more containers. Fortunately, they knew where to turn!
We were happy to work with K-TAINER again. By now we were familiar with the paperwork, but it was a comforting thought to have people with experience overseeing things. A few years, and a few containers have passed since then. We ordered our latest container this week for a family member who's coming this way – he's also bringing along furniture and personal effects.
Once here, the container will be used as storage. Pretty soon we're going to tidy up our storage, and our employees can take effects that have been left in the containers and aren't being used anymore. This practise is much appreciated, and we always make sure to take some extra things from Holland for this purpose.
Goodbye from sunny South-Africa!
Familie Van der Kraak

We've been worried about Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) baby ever since we saw the preview for Grey's Anatomy Season 9, Episode 13: "Bad Blood," and now, thanks to a new sneak peek from Entertainment Weekly, we're more concerned than ever. In the clip of the episode, which you can see here, Mer starts to freak out while hard at work, telling Bailey (Chandra Wilson) that "something's wrong." She feels a "flutter" that "can't be right." Does she really have a problem, or is it all in her head? For... //feeds.wetpaint.com/~r/wetpaint/latest/excerpt/~3/wHIvUAU4LgQ/greys-anatomy-season-9-episode-13-sneak-peek-meredith-in-trouble-video
On this week's Grey's Anatomy episode, Derek and April work around the clock to find a solution for the hospital, while Cristina struggles to respect the religious wishes of a family whose son is dying. The episode title, "Bad Blood," takes on a literal meaning for the Jehovah's Witness patient, whose parents steadfastly won't allow any blood products to be used in his medical treatment. Cristina appears to begrudgingly acquiesce to their concerns, but it looks like her intern, Tessa Ferrer's Leah, has other ideas and goes rogue, at least based on this sneak preview clip ... //www.tvfanatic.com/2013/01/greys-anatomy-sneak-peeks-very-bad-blood/
Grey's Anatomy Season 9 Owen and Cristina Spoiler Roundup: They're "On a Complex Journey," Says Shonda Rhimes
On Grey's Anatomy Season 9, Episode 13: "Bad Blood," Owen (Kevin McKidd) is facing a tough situation at work, especially now that he's been forced to bring in Dr. Cahill to help the hospital refinance following its $15 million payout — but his relationship with Cristina (Sandra Oh) seems to be at an all-time high.

With Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) and Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) relationship at an all-time high — he's back in the OR doing his thing, she conquered her fear of flying — it seems like nothing could go wrong for the better-than-ever couple. But in this week's Grey's Anatomy promo, it looks like Mer and Der may be facing some complications with their pregnancy, begging the question: What's going to happen to McBaby?

Grey's Anatomy Season 9 Cristina and Owen Spoilers: "We're Not Headed to Any Fairy Tale Moment," Says Shonda Rhimes
After agreeing to a divorce to ensure that Cristina (Sandra Oh) (and the rest of the plane crash survivors) could receive their much-deserved cash settlement, it seems like Owen (Kevin McKidd) and Cristina are almost happier as a divorced couple than they were as a married one! Sure, she may still be living in Alex's (Justin Chambers) -- formerly Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) -- old house, but the pair do seem to be back on the right track to all things warm and fuzzy.

For days, Grey's Anatomy have been plagued by one question: Will Meredith's McBaby survive?! Although a promo from this Thursday's episode (9/8c, ABC) featured what appeared to be complications for Meredith ( Ellen Pompeo ) and Derek's ( Patrick Dempsey ) impending baby, executive producer Shonda Rhimes is here to calm your fears — sort of.

I stumbled across this gem yesterday and wanted to bring it to your attention.
Jen Campbell from this is not the six word novel works a bookshop in London and began posting weird things customers say in bookshops, a series of strange conversations she has had while working at the bookstore.
If you haven't already read these, I highly suggest you head over to her blog and check them out. I guarantee a laugh from it. Among my favorites:
Customer: Do you have any books on the dark arts?
Me: ...No.
Customer: Do you have any idea where I could find some?
Me: Why don't you try Knockturn Alley?
Customer: Where's that?
Me: Oh, the centre of London.
Customer: Thanks, I'll keep my eyes peeled for it.
Customer: Do you have a copy of Jane Eyre?
Me: Actually, I just sold that this morning, sorry!
Customer: Oh. Have you read it?
Me: Yep, it's one of my favourite books.
Customer: Oh great *sits down beside me*, could you tell me all about it? I have to write an essay on it by tomorrow.
Old Man: Hi do you have books on sex?
Me: I think we have a couple, yes.
Old Man: Excellent; I've had a hip replacement, and I wasn't sure how long I had to wait, you see.
Me: Right.
Old Man: I bet you could look it up on that computer there, though couldn't you?
Me: ... I suppose I could, if I needed to.
Old Man: Excellent thing, the internet.
There are loads more over at Jen's blog. Please go read them. They are priceless.
