Clearly A Lie
So Online Marketing Is Just The Power Of Deception Right?
As I finished looking over the latest product to come my way from Clickbank I got to wondering is online Marketing really just about the Power Of Deception, the formula is depressing, they all cost $37 Dollars, they all promise instant riches and almost without exception they suck
So what's going on here,the story is always the same,financial ruin, secret hack,magic solution and cold hard cash pouring into your bank account overnight, not a great surprise given one guy writes most of these sales letters, if the Power Of Deception sounds familiar there is a good reason behind it
There is of course a good reason behind this, the triggers work on the most basic of human emotions, greed and the desire to do little or no work, sound familiar, we all know we should know better but we still read the sales letter and get sucked into it,the Power Of Deception in action
The latest ploy is to damn the scammers, those dreadful people who are out to trick you out of your money, but what's that you say skippy aren't these the same people promoting every single one of these products, using the same templates, the same it doesn't use list, just how do people fall for the Power Of Deception
What Can We Learn From The Power Of Deception
So what can we learn from the Power Of Deception,should we look on in admiration or should we express disgust at what is happening? certainly the power of using emotial triggers is a well known and much used both on and offline,you can use any amount of logic that you like but emotion is stronger every time
A slight of hand is used in many fields and we can see that the model who advertises your favorite shampoo maybe cute but the advertising authorities have made them qualify their statements in 71% of 154 people agree with this,clearly the Power Of Deception is not one the ASA here are open to
People of course need to be realistic, anything that promises huge income for no work is clearly a lie, pure and simple and we buy products that promise this at our peril, we can in the use our own common sense not to be taken in by the Power Of Deception
Marketers will keep using whatever triggers make people take action and until the FTC has a quiet word in Clickbanks ear and rounds up the scammers they will keep up their gold rush antics and newbies will continue to chase shiny objects, the Power Of Deception will continue in both covert and overt ways
Resources To Avoid The Power Of Deception
So how do you resist temptation? with one click this and push button that being thrown at you a number of times a week,I e mailed one marketer earlier in the week who was promoting a scam but so far he hasn't responded, it's a shame because previously I had respected him, such is the Power Of Deception
Who should you really listen to,who really has your best interests at heart,who really knows where the Internet marketing world is going Rich Schefren continues to make more millionaires than any other,his free report the Internet Business Manifesto is better than most paid products, no Power Of Deception here
Another man who offers real solutions Is This Man a well known mentor, hugely successful in his own right, he's offering the opportunity to watch the video from his Las Vegas Seminar for the price of lunch,certainly no Power Of Deception in sight here
So what are your thoughts on this? do you feel that everything is fair in love and war or should Internet marketing clean up it's act,is it preying on the unaware or are we really our own best enemies on this,one thing is for sure, you've not seen the end of the Power Of Deception

Discovered the coverage.py module and put it in my small unittest testsuite for rhpl.conf.
The interesting code looks like this:

This may not be quite as bad as it sounds. The article is unclear on the total amount of benefits available for slain or disabled personnel. Based on last year's deaths the total expended may have been about $40,200,000. Thus, the $60,000,000 allotted should be able to cover the benefits that will be needed for the coming year.
Additionally, if funds allocated do not cover the costs, they are automatically increased to whatever amount is needed, even if they exceed the budget levels.
It would appear that the beneficiaries will not be short-changed ... and the "appearance" of slashing $50,000,000 from the budget is mere smoke and mirrors. The amount being "slashed" is money that would never have been spent anyhow based on prior experience. That $50 million would go right back into the budget automatically if it were actually needed to fund these benefits.
I'm glad to know that protectors of our safety won't be penalized. OTOH, Fox's headline is misleading unless you read the article carefully. Also, it is not a "real" budget cut since the money involved was over budgeted expectations to begin with. It is possible that an inflated line-item like this, it might encourage more fraud by some people in the line of processing the benefits.

The gonif can give money away hands over fist to socialist programs and crooked bankers but is cutting funding for cops families, that just plain stinks in my book.

Thinking about the line the way it is right now, I realize they've done almost everybody I could want in modern quality, and the recent waves don't have a lot of "wow! I gotta have that!" figures, just dutiful figures that really don't fire my passion. Part of that is the price increase to $9 / $10, figures I might have wanted to track down are no longer so compelling at such a high price.
So I wonder, which figures - both coming in the foreseeable future, and those who haven't been announced yet - would I really be excited to see coming out in this line?
Here's some off-the-cuff thoughts:
- the new Starkiller figure coming soon
- shorter Luke Stormtrooper with a better head sculpt
- exploded gimmicks R2-D2 based on the new, more accurate sculpt (almost any new R2 based on that sculpt would be welcome, I suppose)
- a good new ANH Han
- a good new ANH Leia
- a good new ESB Lando with a good removable cloak
- any Vader with better soft goods! (and better sculpting on the helmet, the upcoming ANH one's helmet sculpt isn't quite thrilling for me though)
- Weequay
- a new, much better ROTJ Emperor Palpatine
- a new, better 3PO
- maybe Uncle Owen, maybe not, I don't even know at this point how much I'd want that
And I think that's it. What about yours? And I mean EXCITED about, not just "yeah, I'd like to get that", not dutifully interested, really excited about.

How to Get the Best Night's Sleep
Getting good rest is an essential part of your overall health and happiness. Sleep is an enjoyable part of our daily routines, but it's more than just a time to relax. Your body needs sleep, and if you're finding your average sleep quality to be a little low for your liking, Pottery Barn can help set you up for success. When you pick out the right combination of furniture and bedding, you'll turn into a champion sleeper. This guide can help you build the best bed for your sleep habits and preferences so you can drift off on a cloud of comfort at the end of each day.
Assembling your ideal bedding collection is sort of like making a sandwich: it's all about layers. Your mattress makes up the foundation, and like the bread in a sandwich, it holds everything together. A bed without a mattress is just a collection of blankets and pillows, and a sandwich without the bread is just a salad. Mattress comfort is just as essential for your ability to sleep well at night. Our selection of mattresses includes a variety of different material and firmness options so you can choose the kind of support you want to feel when you lay down to rest.
If you like to have extra cushiness on your mattress, consider adding a mattress topper or feather bed to your bedding arrangement. This is a great solution to the issue of how to get the best night's sleep if your current mattress feels too firm but is otherwise adequately supportive and comfortable. Mattress toppers and pads come in a variety of materials, from fluffy feather and down alternative styles to memory foam and memory fiber. Our mattress toppers also provide a layer of protection between you and your mattress and can also contribute to a cooler nighttime sleep temperature, which may also enhance your shuteye experience.
Pillows are also fundamental to your nighttime comfort level, and they can also impact the way you feel when you wake up. We offer a variety of different pillows that you can choose from to provide support and prevent stiffness in your neck, shoulders and upper back while helping to improve your sleep quality. From soft down to firm synthetics, pillow fill can have a lot to do with the way you feel about your bed.
Sheets and other top-layer bedding elements are the finishing touch that help to ensure your comfort in bed. Choose sheets in a weight, fabric texture and color that suit your specific taste. If you like crisp sheets, stick with a thicker weave such as cotton percale. If you prefer a soft, flowing sheet, fabrics such as cotton jersey and Tencel may be the right choice. Our bedding collections include a variety of different styles, too, so you can stick with a tranquil monochrome theme or make your bedroom eclectic and colorful just like you.
This layered approach to bedtime comfort is versatile. It works with any style of furniture and any mattress size. However, the size and style of your bed can make a difference in how comfortable you are. Don't forget to focus on your needs first when you're shopping for a bed. If you share a bed, you may need to compromise, but you can also use smaller mattress toppers and other solutions to ensure that your side of the bed is as comfortable as you need it to be. Give yourself a break. You deserve to get the best sleep of your life, and it's easy to achieve when you follow these simple steps.

TUPELO – Crews are beginning to lay the groundwork for sewer and water projects in some of Tupelo's newly annexed areas.
Residents in Beech Springs, Indian Hills, Deep Park and Auburn Road areas will soon see Cook-Coggin engineers and work crews in their neighborhoods. They are preparing for sewer and water projects to expand Tupelo Water and Light services in those areas.
The goal is to have projects ready to bid when the low interest loans from the State Revolving Fund are approved, said Tupelo Water and Light Director Johnny Timmons. The city has filed for $8.6 million to complete water projects and $12.7 million to complete sewer projects.
"We anticipate approval in February or March," Timmons said, which would allow the work to begin in April and May.
Later this spring, residents in some annexed areas, primarily in the Belden and Chesterville areas will see Tupelo Water and Light crews adding hydrants, which will improve fire protection of those areas.
"The mains are already in place," Timmons said, allowing for the access points to serve fire crews in an emergency.
The neighborhoods are part of a 16 square miles of annexed areas that became part of the city in September after a long legal battle.

The pleural space is the space between the inner and outer lining of the lung. It is normally very thin, and lined only with a very small amount of fluid.
If fluid, such as blood, or air, gets into the pleural space, the lung can collapse, preventing adequate air exchange. Chest tubes are used to treat conditions that can cause the lung to collapse, such as:
Chest tubes are inserted to drain blood, fluid, or air and allow full expansion of the lungs. The tube is placed in the pleural space. The area where the tube will be inserted is numbed (local anesthesia). The patient may also be sedated. The chest tube is inserted between the ribs into the chest and is connected to a bottle or canister that contains sterile water. Suction is attached to the system to encourage drainage. A stitch (suture) and adhesive tape is used to keep the tube in place.
The chest tube usually remains in place until the X-rays show that all the blood, fluid, or air has drained from the chest and the lung has fully re-expanded. When the chest tube is no longer needed, it can be easily removed, usually without the need for medications to sedate or numb the patient. Medications may be used to prevent or treat infection (antibiotics).
Recovery from the chest tube insertion and removal is usually complete, with only a small scar.
The patient will stay in the hospital until the chest tube is removed. While the chest tube is in place, the nursing staff will carefully check for possible air leaks, breathing difficulties, and need for additional oxygen. Frequent deep breathing and coughing is necessary to help re-expand the lung, assist with drainage, and prevent normal fluids from collecting in the lungs.

Alternate name: Cabezon Sculpin
Family: Cottidae, Sculpins view all from this family
Description The Cabezon or also commonly referred to as the mother-in-law fish to Floridians, Scorpaenichthys marmoratus, is a sculpin native to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of North America. Although the genus name translates literally as "scorpion fish," true scorpionfish, i.e., the lionfish and stonefish, belong to the related family Scorpaenidae.
The cabezon is a scaleless fish with a broad bony support extending from the eye across the cheek just under the skin. Normally it has 11 spines on the dorsal fin. The cabezon also has a stout spine before the eye, an anal fin of soft rays, and a fleshy flap on the middle of the snout. A pair of longer flaps are just behind the eyes. The mouth is broad with many small teeth. The coloring varies, but is generally mottled with browns, greens and reds. >90% of red fish are males, whereas >90% of green fish are females. It reaches a weight of up to 25 pounds. As the Spanish-origin name implies, the fish has a very large head relative to its body.
Dimensions Up to 3'3" (99 cm).
Warning The eggs of this fish are poisonous if eaten.
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Ocean or bay shallows, Tidepools.
Range California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska.

I was actually going to get Silent Hill a while back on Blu-ray but I heard the transfer wasn't all that great. I'll probably scoop it up at some point, if I can get it really cheap. And I'll definitely grab it if Sony re-releases it and fixes some of the video issues and adds some special features (since the original 25 gb Blu-ray disc has not one special feature).
Watched The Shining [HD-DVD] last night. Outstanding video transfer, just awesome and a significant improvement over any past release. The movie itself is one of my favorites, and stacks up pretty well to the book (which I've read a couple of times). Jack Nicholson's performance is on point. Shelly Duvall is just fug. But I'm sure you all have seen this movie so I need not explain how awesome it is.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Watched Gone Baby Gone yesterday and absolutely loved it. A great directorial debut by Ben Affleck, I was very impressed. I was also impressed with Casey Affleck, he did a wonderful job in the lead role. I also thought Amy Ryan was great and was well deserved for the Oscar nomination she received. Ed Harris was awesome as always, and Morgan Freeman was, well, Morgan Freeman. Needless to say, this movie was very well acted! I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the movie before starting it, but it turned out to be excellent. The acting was top notch, as I mentioned, the direction was good, the story was great, there were plenty twists and turns, and the ending really makes you think. Glad I took the two hours out of my day to watch this film, worth every second.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
I watched Donnie Brasco. I thought it was a good movie. Great acting from Johnny Depp and Al Pacino. I'd say it's one of the better crime drama films out there.

as for movies i've watched:
"Resident Evil: Extinction"- fun flick, but the whole Alice turning into Jean Grey thing irritated me quite a bit. And the ending was downright silly. rating- **1/2 out of ****
"D-War: DRagon Wars"- really really awful. Although, there are a few cool action sequences amongst the incredibly bad CGI- Rating * out of ****
lastly, I watched "Gone Baby Gone" a few weeks back and really loved it. The performances were outstanding and the ending is quite interesting and is bound to get discussion going. I really loved the flick. Rating- ***1/2 out of ****

"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
The only King adaptation worse than Kubrick's The Shining was the made-for-TV adaptation of The Shining. Though the made-for-TV adaptation of Salem's Lot came really close. Turning Father Callaghan into a somewhat villain, right when he was reintroduced in Dark Tower V? Huh?
That's my jacket!
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
The ending totally undermined it. It was King trying to turn it into a story about family, which it wasn't. It worked up until that point.
That's my jacket!
Hmmm... maybe I need to re-read the book then. It has been about 8 or so years since I've last read it, but I thought (or so I thought) it did pretty well in comparison. Or maybe I am getting the comparisons mixed up with The Stand, and its made for TV movie/series, which I remember to be spot on as well. But I dunno... Gonna have to go back and re-think things, and re-read the book at some point too then. And just because Jack looks crazy, doesn't necessarily mean he is crazy; but it does make the character less believable and authentic when he "snaps", so to speak, so I can see your point. Maybe they should have re-cast that character in that regards, which I think King did want done, now that I think about it, but Nicholson still did a great job in my eyes.

I was premature in my "near feature complete" diagnosis of the bathroom. The framing, sheeting, and Durock installation are complex enough (given the oddball built-ins I'm visualizing) that I've had to put things off while I focus on worky-work.
So now, in the interests of domestic tranquility, I've finished the plumbing (learned how to sweat pipe... cool!) and installed 4mil polyethylene as a temporary surround. The shower curtain's back up, all of the tools are stowed, and we now have a working (if butt-ugly) shower. So we don't have to trek the two miles to Kim's every morning (er, afternoon, in my case) to shower. Like we have been for the past, oh, six weeks. Saint Irene, indeed. The Martyr of the Bathroom :)
Following up on my "Compromise" and "I bought Microsoft" threads, I've invested myself even moreso in the enemy.
I bought a new Windows box (XP, no less) and a new scanner with an ADF. There are more similar purchases in the near future for us. The idea (however misguided it might be) is to take advantage of imperfect COTS tools to get me 75% or so of the way toward managing the volume of crap I have to manage, so I can more effectively focus my energies on being productive.
I realized that I don't want to follow in Ted Nelson's footsteps (as perceived by an outsider):
Nelson's life is so full of unfinished projects that it might fairly be said to be built from them, much as lace is built from holes or Philip Johnson's glass house from windows. He has written an unfinished autobiography and produced an unfinished film. His houseboat in the San Francisco Bay is full of incomplete notes and unsigned letters. He founded a video-editing business, but has not yet seen it through to profitability. He has been at work on an overarching philosophy of everything called General Schematics, but the text remains in thousands of pieces, scattered on sheets of paper, file cards, and sticky notes.
All the children of Nelson's imagination do not have equal stature. Each is derived from the one, great, unfinished project for which he has finally achieved the fame he has pursued since his boyhood. During one of our many conversations, Nelson explained that he never succeeded as a filmmaker or businessman because "the first step to anything I ever wanted to do was Xanadu."
I know Nelson hates that article, and it is a bit pessimistic. But I look around me, at the piles of "stuff to be processed", the stacks of notebooks full of ideas, and the fourteen pages of to-do lists, and I realize that, to the outside observer, I might just look like I'm never going to get this stuff done.
I'm not. I know that. But I want to get enough of it done, and I want the bits I get done to be effective.
Like Nelson, the "first step to anything I ever wanted to do" is a set of tools to help me with the process of the doing. A long time ago (c. 1992), I called that toolset everything (but that name is taken now).
The core vision is still there: a uniformly flexible, distributed, resilient fabric for storing information, code, etc. A substrate on which to build intuitive, responsive, powerful tools to manage information.
But now I'm coming close to fifteen years of being in computers, and over a decade of being posessed with my vision of "everything". And I'm realizing that, for me, stacks of notecards aren't going to cut it until I produce my fabled Pleasuredome. If I am to give birth to anything significant, it won't be by continuing the way I've been doing things.
So I bought a Windows machine. And a scanner. And some crappy document management software. And soon an A/V machine to rip my old videos. Yes, I know I can accomplish all of these things through Free tools. And believe me, I dearly want to. But for now, I need to concentrate on accepting the "out of the box" experience so I can focus hard on building the next generation of tools. The ones that rock your socks off. Classically, of course :)
Resurrecting Good Ideas:
If anyone has an appropriate contact at IBM for what I'm about to describe, please send me some email (tripp at perspex dot com) with "advogato" in the subject.
I have an old Technical Report from c. 1972 for a project called The Dawntreader Project. It was a dynamic, distributed semantic network implementation that a team built within IBM to serve as the data repository for some VLSI design tools.
Anyway, I've not been able to find the report anywhere (aside from the copy I was loaned by a friend who was on the team later in its life). I want to either find a source for more copies, or get permission / rights / what have you to reprint the report (electronically or physically or both).
I wish there was an "abandonment" clause in copyright law. I don't mean voluntary abandonment. More like being able to petition the courts to declare an artifact abandoned and have it enter the public domain. Eh, whatever.

Mouth-watering grilled beef steak made ready in just 20 minutes – a scrumptious juicy meal!
Set oven control to broil. Brush broiler pan rack with olive or vegetable oil. Cut outer edge of fat on beef steaks diagonally at 1-inch intervals to prevent curling (do not cut into beef). Place beef on rack in broiler pan; brush with oil mixture. Broil with tops 3 to 4 inches from heat 5 minutes for medium-rare or 7 minutes for medium doneness. Turn; brush generously with oil mixture. Broil 5 to 8 minutes longer or until desired doneness.
Keep it juicy! When handling the steaks on the grill, use tongs or a spatula instead of a fork, so you won't pierce the beef and allow the juices to cook out.

This is the ONLY National League game of the day.
The schedule makers are not Reds fans
1-0 Mets...Reyes goes yard
Gary Cohen saying that it's the 9th time Reyes has lead off with a homerun. I recall one of them being against Joe Mays last year.
Oh jesus christ, Rueben Gotay!?!?
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
that didn't take long ... twice
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
2-0 Mets.
Back to back....
Thus it begins....
Reyes on his way to a cycle
Go Gators!
For a brief moment, I thought the Reds returned Jeff Austin to the squad...
Homers to the two Judy hitters then K's Beltran!
Back to following MiLB; there's always hope for tomorrow!
that was a dumb alignment
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
Doug Pelfrey sighting?
I saw a jersey in the Mets dougout with Pelfrey written on it.
"Is there a problem officers?"
Mets killed their rally TWICE.
Got them where we want them now.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
Hatteberg is the hottest hitter in the world
Freel keeps getting himself out swinging at balls
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand

what a great story,remember what you said about not praying for some time,the good lord blessed you and ace for sure by answering your prayers,give him the glory. good huntin...I own a 10 month old BLM named ACE,and plan to hunt some ducks this Veterans Day. I am on my way to Sportsmans warehouse in the morning to buy him a VEST.
My heart and prayers go out to both of you. Lesson learned for all of us.
God to admire the bravery of the animal.
Great story, glad you made this a sticky.
what a great story and out come. a good eye opener and remonder about cold and the other post about heat. I was in oregon last week end to breed my dog. had some time to kill so did some Christmas shopping. Bought the dog a vest for Christmas present, glad I read your post.
My best to you and to your amazing dog. Thank you so much for posting your story. I am new to this and wasn't sure about getting a vest but you can bet that I'll be getting one now!
I am glad your dog is alive. Very scary I am sure.
I use a vest on my pup when it is cold, I use a rough stand too, and I also use one of these to get the cold water off after retrieves.
Glad to see this post has stayed close to the top as I have mentioned it to more than one dog owner who thought they had a dog that was to tough to need a coat. They could also see no reason that there dogs shouldn't sit in 45 f or colder water for extended periods of time.
Again thanks and all the best to you and your dog and hopefully the many people and dogs that have benefited from the original post.

Saturday was a terrific day of Scouting, let me recap it for you.
Super Saturday training allows leaders to get their training done in one day (Expect Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters). The day starts with New Leader Essentials and moves on to Leader specific training. Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venture training is offered. Committee challenge and training for Chartered Organization Representatives take place during this time also.
Youth Protection, Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat are also training events offered during the Super Saturday of Training.
I am a trainer for the Scoutmaster/ASM specific training.
We had a great group of men that were Alive, Alert, Awake, and Enthusiastic about becoming Scoutmasters and Assistants. It was the first time since I have been a trainer that the entire group was new to being an Adult leader. There were three Eagle Scouts in the group, but the rest of the Adults were new to Scouting. I was impressed. It gave me a good feeling to know that the program is still attracting adults to leadership in Scouting.
The amount they made for the 4 hours of time invested definitely was worth the effort.
The Scouting day ended when I got home and two of my Scouting buddies from Green Bay were online and we chatted for an hour or so. Every time we chat I learn more about Scouting and understand clearer just how great this Scouting organization is.
Another Great Scouting Day.. Have yourself one!

Cucumis sativus is the scientific name for a cucumber plant, the popular plant in the gourd family. The plant is a creeping vine that grows on trellises or similar structures, wrapping around the structure with its tendrils. Cucumis sativus plants can grow to up to 6 feet. They thrive in sandy, loamy, and clay soils that are well-drained. This annual creeping vine flowers from July to September and ripens its seeds from August to October. According to the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service, cucumis sativus grows in 19 states, including Florida, Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia, among others. Cucumis sativus flourishes in temperate and tropical climates, and it first originated in Asia before becoming a popular plant across the United States.
The most well-known aspect of this plant is the cucumber that it produces. While the long, dark green variety of cucumber is most common, the cucumis sativus plant can, in fact, produce cucumbers in a variety of shapes and sizes, from white to yellow and orange. Most cucumbers retain the common shape, though some varieties are oval or round. Thus, there are hundreds of varieties of cucumis sativus, all of which produce cucumbers.
These hundreds of varieties of cucumbers are further divided into two categories. Slicing cucumbers are those varities that are consumed in fresh form. These large, thick-skinned cucumbers are easy to slice and transport from farm to the dinner table without damage. Other cucumbers are of the pickling variety;these cucumbers are processed into pickles, thanks to their thinner skins, which make them easier to preserve.
Cucumbers from the cucumis sativus plant are primarily used as a food product. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration reports that cucumber is one of the 20 most frequently consumed raw vegetables. In addition to being eaten on their own, cucumbers can be chopped and mixed into salads, served on sandwiches, tossed and cooked in olive oil with other vegetables, and even transformed into a dip or a sauce. Cucumber is a versatile food, thus explaining its popularity. It offers many nutritional benefits;the skin and seeds of the cucumber, in particular, are rich in important nutrients. Cucumbers include flavonoids, such as apigenin, and antioxidants, such as vitamin C, beta carotene, and manganese.
Cucumbers do not have to be eaten to enjoy their many health benefits, however. Cucumber in topical form can offer similar health benefits, making it a popular and appealing ingredient in many beauty and personal care products. The whole cucumber, as well as its fruit and seed extract, are used in a range of beauty products, offering several benefits. Placing cucumber slices on the eyes during spa sessions has been a popular method of reducing puffiness for years, showing the beauty benefits of cucumber in its natural form. This tested trick can also eliminate those hard-to-combat dark circles under the eyes.
Generally, cucumber as a beauty ingredient serves one of two functions. As a skin conditioning agent and emollient, cucumber and its extract versions lubricate the skin, giving it a soft and smooth appearance. Thanks to its function as an emollient, cucumber and its extracts can be found in products such as facial cleansers, masks, and moisturizers.
Cucumber has other skin conditioning benefits. It can repair dry and damaged skin, helping to reduce unsightly flaking. Moreover, it can restore skin's suppleness, giving it the moisture it needs to look its best. Skin that has been out in the sun for too long can be soothed by cucumbers, which have a cooling effect that can help treat sunburn. Together with other natural ingredients, such as apple cider vinegar and honey, cucumber can serve as a toner, tightening open pores and creating healthier, more radiant skin.
As a botanical, cucumber is a gentle and safe ingredient. Botanicals are popular ingredients in the beauty industry thanks to their antioxidant benefits;they include important nutrients that condition skin and improve its overall health without any negative side effects, such as irritation, which is a common problem created by artificial and synthetic beauty products. Whether used alone in its natural state or in combination with other ingredients, cucumber can improve the overall condition of skin, making it suppler, better moisturized, and well-toned.

Fukuyama to discuss U.S. foreign policy, Sept. 28
Posted September 22, 2005; 05:43 p.m.
Political economist Francis Fukuyama will deliver a lecture on "Development, Democracy and American Foreign Policy" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Fukuyama is the Bernard L. Schwartz Professor of International Political Economy at Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies and director of the school's international development program. He is a member of President Bush's Council on Bioethics, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Pacific Council on International Policy.
Fukuyama has written widely on issues relating to questions concerning political and economic development. He is the author of several books, including the international best-seller "The End of History and the Last Man," in which he argued that human history's struggle over ideologies ended with the world choosing liberal democracy after the Cold War.
Fukuyama also has served as a policy analyst with the RAND Corp. and a member of the policy planning staff in the State Department under President Reagan and the first President Bush.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and is part of the school's series of 75th anniversary events.

The DRAM industry continues to lead a charmed life.
Shares of Micron Technology (MU) are higher by 88 cents, or 6.5%, at $14.89, after China's Xinhua News's staff this morning reported that Korean DRAM maker SK Hynix (000660KS) suffered a fire in one of its "workshops" in China. The fire is prompting speculation DRAM prices will stay elevated if supply is constrained.
Piper Jaffray's Jagadish Iyer today reiterates an Overweight rating on shares of Micron, and also on SanDisk (SNDK), writing that the facility may have produced 170,000 wafers per month of DRAM.
"While the estimated start up of this China fab is unknown, we estimate it could contribute 15-20% of the worldwide DRAM capacity," writes Iyer. "We expect this incident to have a favorable near-term impact on DRAM pricing which has been down anywhere from 5-15% for this quarter (ytd is up > 70%)."
SanDisk stock is up $1.80, or 3%, at $57.11.

The user should be aware that grid box values are not directly comparable to station data. Climate models attempt to represent the full climate system from first principles on large scales. Physical "parameterizations" are used to approximate the effects of unresolved small scale processes because it is not economically feasible to include detailed representations of these processes in present day models. Caution is therefore needed when comparing climate model output with observations or analyses on spatial scales shorter than several grid lengths (approximately 750 to 1200 km in mid-latitudes), or when using model output to study the impacts of climate variability and change. The user is further cautioned that estimates of climate variability and change obtained from climate model results are subject to sampling variability. This uncertainty arises from the natural variability that is part of the observed climate system and is generally well simulated by the climate models.

As a Scout leader we teach our Scouts to "Be Prepared".. then we ask, Be prepared for what.. the reply.. "Anything" Typically translates to lots of stuff going into the pack which means more weight. We try to keep the packs of our Scouts down to around 25% of their body weight. And we all know that sometimes that just is not possible. But we can work to reducing the weight. I have said it before.. I don't pretend to be an Ultra Light Backpacker, but as age creeps up and the knees starting feeling each pound in my pack, I do look at shaving weight where ever I can.
So how can we do that while maintaining an appropriate level of "Preparedness"?
One way is to look at your gear with a critical eye. Lay out everything that you take and see if there are two of anything (ok.. band aids don't count). If you have two of any piece of gear. Loose one. There is no need for a back up of any gear when backpacking. First, you never hike alone, so chances are between at least the two of you.. you will always have a couple of any piece of gear. So loose the redundancy.
Look at how long you are going to be out. If it is a weekend.. ramp up your critical eye a notch. How often do you change clothes? Socks? How do you cook? What's the weather like? These are just a few questions to ask yourself when you look at your gear. Then ask.. What if? What if this happens or that happens? Add a piece of gear you may need or can't live without. Your water pump for example. Really look at your meal planning and cook ware. Again, look at redundancy. How many spoons do you need? A fork or a spork? How many knives do you carry. A pocket knife really is enough… keep it clean. Bowl and Plate? Loose one.
The moral of this story is shave weight by loosing redundant gear. You have to be willing to trust your skills and the gear you carry. To be prepared take what you need, leave behind what you don't and use what you take. Preparedness starts with planning and knowledge.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

With the success of the Clone Wars Expanded Universe line for the Prequel Star Wars era, we also witness the conclusion of the New Jedi Order for the Classic Star Wars era. With that in mind:
this poll asks "Would you buy Hasbro action figures of Jaina and Jacen Solo?"
Nearly 50% of approximatley 560 of our readers said that once the Star Wars line had represented all the characters seen in the movies in the 3 3/4" line, you would want Star Wars to continue releasing new figures for this collection, in this size, and tap into the Expanded Universe, more resculpts or re-releases, or whatever it takes, rather than change the size of our basic action figures.
For over 10 years, since their creation in the Timothy Zahn novels which saw Star Wars rebirth and Jaina and Jacen's literal birth, the Solo twins have been rising stars in the adult Classic Star Wars literature. Yet while Hasbro has done some Expanded Universe figures, and most recently had a very successful run with the Clone Wars, Hasbro never made New Jedi Order figures, espcially Jaina and Jacen Solo.
So if they did, would you personally buy them?

The Who: Interview with Pete Townshend
From the ruins of his failed rock opera rose the Who's greatest album, Who's Next. Now, with the release of the group's new record, Endless Wire, Pete Townshend discusses the triumphs of Tommy and Quadrophenia and reveals the secret history of Lifehouse, the lost masterpiece that continues to haunt his music.
How do you top your best work? It's a question most successful musical artists face throughout their careers. Pete Townshend is no exception. As the Who's guitar-smashing auteur, Townshend is responsible for penning the band's greatest hits, from early pop singles like "My Generation" and "The Kids Are Alright" to full-scale rock operas such as Tommy and Quadrophenia.
Yet Townshend's, and the Who's, unarguably finest work was presented on 1971's Who's Next. The album is packed with many of Townshend's best-known songs, including "Baba O'Riley," "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Going Mobile," "Bargain" and "Behind Blue Eyes," and features some of strongest and most inspired performances that Townshend, singer Roger Daltrey, bassist John Entwistle and drummer Keith Moon ever delivered.
So it is perhaps not entirely surprising to find Who's Next is referenced both musically and thematically on Endless Wire (Universal), the first album of new material that the Who (now just Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey) have released in 24 years. The new disc even kicks off with an arpeggiating synth pattern, in the song "Fragments," that recalls "Baba O'Riley."
"The similarity was intentional," says Townshend. "I wanted to make the opening of the CD evoke the Who's Next album, which most people regard as our best. I wanted to challenge it, audaciously."
Not only challenge it but draw resources from it, like a contender preparing for a championship title in the champ's own gym, and with his trainer to boot. Central to this challenge is the Endless Wire track "Wire and Glass," a mini-opera some 18 minutes in length that comprises 10 song fragments. Not coincidentally, its plot, central character and narrative elements are extensions of an earlier rock opera, a failed project from 1970, the music of which formed the basis for Who's Next.
Lifehouse, as the project was called, was to be the followup to Tommy, the Who's 1969 rock opera about a deaf, dumb and blind boy whose disabilities lead to his spiritual enlightenment and rise as a post-World War II messiah (see sidebar). In the year after Tommy's release, Townshend—fueled by the album's success and his rise as one of rock's most important creative forces—began to conceive and write Lifehouse as a futuristic parable for the post-hippie times.
As originally conceived, Lifehouse presents an Earth in which most of civilization lives underground, where inhabitants wear suits that connect them to the Grid, a lifeline controlled by a dictatorship. The Grid provides not only food and air but also virtual reality, allowing citizens to live away their existence in a persistent dreamlike state that satisfies their every emotional and physical desire.
Enter Bobby, a rebel computer programmer who still lives above ground. Hacking into the Grid, he steals the personal information of several hundred inhabitants and uses the information to compose musical portraits of them. These Grid dwellers eventually join Bobby at the Lifehouse, his commune, where performances of the works created from their data provide a passage to spiritual fulfillment and ascension to paradise.
While the ploy seems simple enough, particularly in today's internet-driven culture, it proved to be the project's undoing; no one aside from Townshend could make sense of the storyline. Musical technology plagued the project as well. Townshend wanted the Who to be accompanied by sequencer-driven keyboard synthesizers that would follow along with the band in real time, but the technology didn't exist and wouldn't for a couple more decades. Ultimately, Townshend had to settle for the band members dutifully playing along to previously recorded backing tracks on "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again," trying their best not to fall out of synchronization with the precise rhythms of the electronic score.
Although Townshend abandoned Lifehouse, references to it creep up in "Gridlife," the musical project within his 1993 solo rock opera Psychoderelict, as they do in Endless Wire, where the protagonists hatch a plan to compose music from personal data fed into a computer program. Closer to the original point, in 1998 Townshend created a radio play of Lifehouse using music from his unfinished rock opera; it was broadcast on the BBC in December 1999. For a project that caused him such personal distress, Lifehouse has been an almost career-long obsession for Townshend. "I'd obviously put it in a back pocket to produce later on," he says.
In the following interview, Townshend discusses the origins of his rock operas Tommy and Quadrophenia and reveals the near-catastrophic effects of his struggle to create Lifehouse.

Chrysler Takes Fuel Economy Seriously With New V6, 8-speed Auto in '13 Ram 1500
Brandon Hill
August 24, 2012 10:18 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The Ram 1500 gets a much needed heart transplant
Ford isn't the only company that can dish out full-size pickups with relatively decent fuel economy these days. Ford made headlines two year ago (and saw
sales of V6 engines skyrocket
) when it introduced an all-new
3.7-liter V6 engine and 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6
for its best-selling F-150.
Not one to let Ford sit around and bask in the media and sales spotlight, Chrysler is giving its 2013 Ram 1500 a heart transplant as well. In this case, instead of the tired old 3.7-liter V6 that has soldiered on as the base engine in the Ram 1500 for far too long, it has been replaced by Chrysler's corporate V6: the 3.6-liter Pentastar.
Whereas the old 3.7-liter engine produced 215hp and 235 lb-ft of torque, the Pentastar V6 blows those numbers out of the water with 305hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. For comparison, Ford's based 3.7-liter V6 engine in the F-150 generates 300hp and 275 lb-ft of torque.
3.6-liter Pentastar V6
Despite the massive increase in power and torque, fuel economy has also gone up significantly with the new Pentastar V6. Fuel economy numbers increase from 14/20 (city/highway) with the old 3.7 to 18/25 with the new 3.6 in 4x2 trim (these figures are also ahead of the 3.7-liter V6 in the Ford F-150 which is rated at 17/23).
It also helps that the '13 Ram 1500 makes use of a new 8-speed automatic transmission to help boost fuel efficiency.
Even though the V6 doesn't have as much "grunt" as the Hemi V8 option,
Inside Line
says that the Ram 1500's new base engine is enough to propel the pickup to 60 mph in just 7.5 seconds.
2013 Dodge Ram 1500
All of this newfangled technology doesn't come for free, however. The '13 Ram 1500 with the Pentastar V6 and 8-speed automatic transmission starts at $23,585 compared to $22,420 for the '12 Ram 1500 with the 3.7-liter V6 and 4-speed automatic transmission.
With both Ford and Chrysler stepping up to the plate with power and efficiency for the full-size pickups, all eyes should now be on General Motors and its Silverado 1500/Sierra 1500.

Oktagon Fight Code Tomorrow: Giorgio Petrosyan vs. Cosmo Alexandre
- Written by Dave Walsh
When it rains it pours, and in this case, it is a good rain, the kind that comes after a drought. After being denied top level kickboxing for what feels like an eternity, with flashes of hope here and there, March has proven to be an incredible month for fans. We kicked things off with It's Showtime's Sporthallen Zuid Amsterdam show, which featured a top-to-bottom card of fantastic fights and march into this weekend where legitimate pound-for-pound in combat sports contender Giorgio Petrosyan will go to war with former It's Showtime 77MAX Champion Cosmo Alexandre. Cosmo was stripped of his It's Showtime title last year after booking another fight too close to his It's Showtime title defense, angering It's Showtime management into stripping him of his title for not adhering to his contract.
The irony, of course, is that this weekend he will be fighting Giorgio Petrosyan, who is an It's Showtime/Black Label fighter. It is a tall order for Alexandre, as he goes into the fight staring down the barrel of a shotgun almost; facing off against the two-time K-1 World MAX Champion. To say that at this point in time facing Giorgio Petrosyan is a tall order is to underestimate Petrosyan. Petrosyan comes into the fight this weekend with a staggering record of 67 wins, one loss and two draws. Oh, and he is only 25. He comes into this fight with a win over Sudsakorn Sor. Klinmee, a very real challenge at the time for Petrosyan, and was handled quite easily.
Speaking of Susakorn, he is also in action tomorrow as he'll square off with the Chinese kickboxer Xu Yan. Xu Yan is probably best known for his knockout of Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima in 2009, as well as his bout with Buakaw Por. Pramuk from last year. Needless to say, Xu Yan is a worthy competitor and the fight with Sudsakorn should be a great one.
On top of that, Giorgio Petrosyan's brother, Aremen Petrosyan will be in action against Japanese kickboxer Yoshihiro Sato. Sato is one of the few Japanese kickboxers that has ventured outside of Japan on a semi-regular basis looking to hone his skills. I truly commend Sato for this, as it is a step in the right direction. From the looks of Yoshihiro Sato's twitter account, he is safe in Italy and ready to fight, although I'm sure the pounding Japan took from yesterday's Earthquake and Tsunamis will be on his mind.
So what is the best part of all of this? Oh, how about that it will be streamed live on the internet for free. You can head on over to here, tomorrow at 3:45 pm Eastern time and catch the event as it unfolds.

Arizona to Fund Grand Canyon Operations Through Oct. 27
Arizona will extend its payments to keep the Grand Canyon open during the government shutdown, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Wednesday.
The state will pay to continue operations at Grand Canyon National Park through Oct. 27, at a cost of $93,000 per day. Last week, Ms. Brewer and federal officials struck a deal for the state to fund operations at the park for a week. Under that deal, the Grand Canyon reopened Saturday.
Wednesday's announcement extends that deal for up to nine more days, at a total cost of $1.5 million to the state for 16 days of operations. If the government reopens before Oct. 27, the state will be refunded the unused funds, state officials said.
For Arizona communities that rely on tourism at the Grand Canyon, news of Wednesday's extension was a relief. One town on the southern rim of the Grand Canyon, Tusayan, estimated it was losing more than $150,000 a day for each day the Grand Canyon was closed.
State officials said visitors to Arizona's national parks spend an average of $2.5 million a day during October, a crucial tourism month for the state because of cooler temperatures. Tourists spend an average of $1.2 million each day at the Grand Canyon alone during October, according to state records.
Arizona is using state tourism funds to keep the Grand Canyon open.
"Grand Canyon's importance to Arizona's tourism industry and overall economy cannot be ignored," said Ms. Brewer, a Republican who has famously been at odds with the Obama administration over a host of issues including immigration and border security and over federal aid following a wildfire that killed 19 firefighters.
"While I am pleased the state is able to ensure the Canyon remains open during this critical season, it is well past time for the federal government to end this shutdown and pay its bills," Ms. Brewer said. "We are doing our job. It's time the President and Congress do theirs."

Nutffles – Hazelnut, Almond, Red Velvet
July 25th, 2012 by Rosa
Nutffles was a company that was new to me until I visited their booth at Sweets and Snacks. Nutffles is supposed to be a portmanteau for nut truffle (and also happens to cause some middle-school-boy giggles when said out loud).
I picked up free samples of their Hazelnut, Almond, and Red Velvet truffles. The samples that I got came individually wrapped and labeled, though from their website it also looks like they come in a four-pack.
The Hazelnut and Almond nutffles both had a lone nut in their center that was suspended in a thick, creamy, and smooth chocolate ganache. It was all surrounded by a crunchy wafer cookie, topped with a few rice crispies, and covered in milk chocolate. In the case of the Hazelnut nutffle, it reminded me of a naked Ferrero Rocher.
The texture on these from the mix of crispy wafer cookie, rice crisps, and smooth ganache was pretty great, and the whole nut in the center brought extra roasted nuttiness. I found them to be a tad too sweet for my taste, but they were otherwise enjoyable.
Red Velvet was covered in a cream cheese flavored white chocolate and had an almond in the center. The coating had a sour cream cheesey tinge that I really enjoyed (I'm a sucker for cream cheese frosting), and the red-tinged center had a nice cocoa finish.
I think these are all OM-worthy, though Red Velvet was my favorite. Can there be more cream cheese/cheesecake flavored candies in the world, please?

A few of us from 23andMe attended the 6th Annual Conference for Women Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer two weekends ago in Philadelphia. This national conference is put on by a patient advocacy organization called Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC) that empowers women affected by breast cancer to live longer, healthier lives.
The conference provided a toolbox of information for women fighting metastatic breast cancer — everything from treatment options to day-to-day coping to facing end-of-life issues. Metastatic breast cancer is a cancer that spreads from the breast to other parts of the body including the bones or liver.
It was an awe-inspiring event and we saw firsthand how brave, informed, and strong the metastatic breast cancer community is.
Continue reading for some conference highlights…
Order kit, spit, and take surveys from the comfort of your home…
23andMe attended LBBC's metastatic breast cancer conference to spread the word and recruit women to the web-based InVite study. InVite is a collaborative effort between 23andMe and Genentech to understand how genes influence response to bevacizumab (also known as Avastin®) in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Women who were on bevacizumab for metastatic breast cancer at any point in 2010 or 2011 are eligible for the study. Enroll at https://www.23andme.com/invite-study/ or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Potential findings of this study may help to explain why some women respond well to this drug while others suffer adverse side effects. Although this drug has FDA clearance for a number of cancers, the approval for metastatic breast cancer was removed in November of 2011.
Patient and Physician Stories
The conference started with an inspiring testimonial by Pat Biedermann who has been fighting stage IV breast cancer for a number of years. She described how one of her first signs of metastasis was a cracking sound in her spine as she teed off on a golf course. Pat's "tricks and tips" on living with the disease can be found on LBBC's blog.
The next part of the conference featured a panel of physician-scientists that included Drs. Adam M. Brufsky, Julie R. Gralow, Harold A. Harvey, and Beth Overmoyer. They offered expertise on treatment options and gave an update on the latest in bench-to-bedside research on metastatic breast cancer.
The patient audience asked the panelists a variety of questions, for instance how do you decide when it's time to a stop a treatment because of side effects? They also asked about genetic testing of tumors and expressed frustration over accessing clinical trials. (One individual said that finding a clinical trial that worked for her was like finding a needle in haystack.)
Clinical trials can be difficult for patients to access — the trial might be located far from where they live and the website that advertises them is largely geared towards physicians, containing technical language and eligibility criteria that can be hard to understand.
Personal Genetics and Drug Response
There was some discussion of the role of genetics in breast cancer. Although breast cancer can be strongly influenced by genetics — mutations in the BRCA genes are associated with a lifetime risk of about 50-60% — most cases are "sporadic", meaning that the patient has no blood relative affected by the disease.
Breast cancer also comes in different forms and it's becoming clear that it's important to find out which kind you have because it can impact the course of treatment. For instance, many therapies aren't effective in treating triple-negative breast cancer, which by definition is estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative, and HER2-negative. Since triple-negative cancers don't display the receptors that most drugs target, it can be challenging to find a drug that will work for them.
The panelists also discussed how genetics can sometimes explain why some people respond well to a drug whereas others may experience serious side effects. This was of particular interest to 23andMe because we not only offer our customers reports on how their genetics might influence responses to different drugs but also perform research to understand these genetic responses. Our research into this area includes antidepressants, commonly used medications, and now bevacizumab in breast cancer as part of the InVite study (see sidebar).
23andMe customers can view their genetic results for Breast Cancer and BRCA mutations in their account (note that this report requires an additional opt in).

Looking Ahead
Living beyond breast cancer pretty much sums up the goal of the conference attended by 23andMe employees including InVite Project Lead Dr. Kimberly Barnholt. "It was inspiring to meet such knowledgeable and empowered women at the LBBC conference," she said. "We are excited to partner with this community of active and passionate individuals to explore innovative approaches to research that will hopefully lead to better treatments and maybe even an eventual cure for breast cancer."

If you're like many dieters, you like to eat a wide variety of foods while you slim down. Eating different foods and satisfying meals will also help you stick your diet so you can lose weight and keep it off. But some ethnic food menus can be hard to navigate when you're on a weight loss program. These are some of the healthiest Indian foods to choose when you dine out or eat at home.

*Based on a 2,000 calorie diet

Poha, or flattened rice, is a popular Indian breakfast or brunch dish. While there are many variations and ways to prepare poha, almost all of them include potato, onion, and flattened rice. The spicy, fluffy dish is a significant source of carbohydrates, (including net carbs) and even provides a little bit of protein. Recipes that include peanuts offer more protein.

Other popular Indian dishes provide more fat. Pakora, for example, is a fried snack, like vegetable fritters. While recipes vary, a single order of vegetable pakora in a restaurant is likely to provide between 200-250 calories and between 12-18 grams of fat.

Healthy Indian Food Choices

Traditional Indian food is full of healthy ingredients. Many healthy Indian dishes include lean protein like chicken or fish and most include diet-friendly high fiber lentils and vegetables. So what does this mean for dieters? These filling ingredients help you to eat less and still feel full and satisfied.

Another benefit of eating Indian cuisine when you're on a diet is that it is full of flavor. Some American versions of Indian food include curry, a delicious spice that is often full of heat. The authentic version of curry, called Garam Masala, is a warming spice. You can make Garam Masala at home. Eating hot and spicy foods flavored with these ingredients might also help you to eat less and slim down faster.

So what is the healthiest Indian food to order at your favorite restaurant? These are my favorites. But before you order them, take the time to read the ingredients list and ask your waiter for details. Remember that you can order sauces on the side or smaller portions to keep your diet on track.

tandoori chicken or fish

steamed brown rice

raita sauce

lentil soup

naan bread (in small amounts)

lassi

chicken tikka

chicken vindaloo

curried vegetables

Cook Indian Food at Home

Of course, the healthiest Indian food for any dieter is the food you make at home. When you cook at home, you can control the ingredients and even make a few healthy swaps to keep the calorie count under control. For example, I often use chicken stock in a non-stick pan instead of oil to saute veggies with less fat.

Try this traditional Poha recipe if you'd like to experiment with Indian cooking

Traditional Poha (makes 4 servings)

1.5 cups poha (flattened rice flakes)

1 medium potato, diced

1 large tomato, diced

1 small onion, diced

1/4 tbsp salt

1/4 tbsp cumin seeds

1/4 tbsp mustard

1/8 tbsp turmeric

1/8 tbsp red chili, ground

1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil

First, heat the vegetable oil on medium high heat and add and add mustard and cumin seeds. The saute the onion and potato for about five minutes or until brown. Add the tomato and continue to cook for five minutes. Add turmeric and chili and mix well. Finally, add the poha and blend.

Less Healthy Indian Food for Dieters

Every cuisine has foods that provide more calories than you need. Indian food is no different. Some traditional Indian foods (or Americanized versions) are fried and may include creamy sauces that are full of fat.

In general, these are dishes you may want to avoid.

fried dishes

dishes with "crispy" in the name

coconut soup or dishes with coconut sauces

masala

chutney

ghee

pakora

korma

samosas

poori bread

If your favorite Indian food is on this list, consider splitting an order with a friend so you eat less and keep your weight loss program on track. Or take half of your order home for another day.

Remember to eat your healthy Indian food in moderation (just like any food you eat!) and to enjoy your meal with a healthy low-calorie drink, like water.

Drive north across the Sharon Plain to the excavations of the ancient city and port at Caesarea National Park. King Herod built Caesarea in honor of his patron Emperor Augustus in the mid-first century BCE, and Pontius Pilate ruled the country from here.
Peter's story, which you began to explore in Jaffa, continues here when he baptized Cornelius the Centurion in Caesarea. It was from this port that Paul set sail to preach in communities all over the Mediterranean, where he was later imprisoned for two years and appeared before Felix, Festus and King Agrippa. All these events are reflected in the ruins you'll tour, including the Roman theater, the hippodrome and Herod's palace, as well as mosaics and other remains from the centuries when Caesarea was an important Christian center, and the Crusader walls, moat and gates.
Drive through the Ara Valley to Tel Megiddo, the Armageddon of Revelations 16:16. Tour the remains of one of the most intensively inhabited sites in the country with over 25 levels of settlement, spanning some 3,000 years, including walls, gates, palaces and dwellings from the time of King Solomon, King Ahab and the Assyrians. A highlight will be your walk through the water system, one of the great engineering marvels of antiquity.
Cross the Jezreel Valley, sometimes called "the battlefield of the Bible" and now Israel's breadbasket, to Mt. Tabor to hear the account of the prophetess Deborah gathering her forces here in the time of the Judges to battle against Sisera. Jesus came to Tabor with Peter and James, was transfigured before them, and met with Moses and Elijah. After a breathtaking view of the valley below, visit the beautiful two-level Church of the Transfiguration.
Continue to Nazareth to visit Nazareth Village, a full-scale reconstruction of life in Nazareth during the time of Jesus.
Continue to the centuries-old Church of St. Gabriel, which houses the village spring – one of the few authentic remains of the time of Jesus to be seen in Nazareth.
Drive across the Galilee Mountains via Cana, the scene of Jesus' first miracle of changing water into wine, and home of Nathanael.
Stop for a breathtaking overview of the Sea of Galilee and the scenes of Jesus' Galilee ministry that you will be visiting over the next few days from the Arbel Cliff.

Carbon Footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO2) that a business, organization, product, household or personal lifestyle produces. A bigger footprint is harder on the planet. The EPA has developed a Household Carbon Footprint Calculator to provide a rough estimate of a household's GHG emissions. Greenhouse gases act like a blanket by trapp heat in the atmosphere making Earth warmer than it would otherwise be.
Reduce, reuse and recycle are ways humans can reduce their carbon footprint and thus their impact on the planet.
