Retirement Communities in Fort Worth TX: Ron and Joanie Bucher
As we approached retirement age, our oldest son suggested we move from Florida to be closer to him and his family. We moved here and found jobs, but when it was time to retire for good, we began looking at retirement communities in Fort Worth TX. We found it humorous that for many years mom and dad helped make decisions for our children, where to live, what car to buy, etc. And then all of a sudden, the children are telling mom and dad what to do. But when they advised us to sell our home and move to Parc Place, we took that advice and here we are. We decided they are just plain brilliant; it was the best advice we ever received from our children.
The staff at Parc Place made the move great. Laurie spent a lot of time with us and helped us find the perfect senior apartment. Patsy was very knowledgeable and professional and made all the paperwork understandable. Our move went as smoothly as promised with lots of help from the administration and maintenance.
After moving in, we found it so easy to meet our neighbors and make new friends. Parc Place residents are warm people and we all live here for the same reason – we're retired, want to make friends and live happily ever after.
There is always something going on – morning, noon and night. I was a professional musician for 40 years, so I started a resident-run choir. Now we have 30 members with an average age of 86, and we perform at least three programs a year – and we are really good.
If someone asked what we like best about living at Parc Place, we have to say it is the people – the residents and the staff – our family. We care and look out for each other, just as any family would do. Won't you join us?

Today is Click Monday, the latest attempt to transplant the U.S. notion of CyberMonday to New Zealand soil. As Trade Me's Mike O'Donnell observed in a recent Stuff column:
This year has seen the [CyberMonday] concept reach New Zealand. Several times over. Three different organisations are having a go at creating a Cyber Monday-like event, and there's even rumour of a fourth.
The first was held [at the beginning of November] by Nzsale, an Australian-owned member-only online shopping club. Held a good three weeks prior to Thanksgiving weekend, Nzsale staged a "Flash Frenzy", and billed it optimistically as the biggest online event ever.
The next event to be announced [went] live on 12 November … "Click Madness" is backed by The Warehouse Group and involves special deals from The Warehouse, Noel Leeming, Warehouse Stationery, and ilovebeauty.co.nz.
The event closest to actual Thanksgiving in the United States is "Click Monday", being run by Auckland ecommerce consultant Cate Bryant and Alain Russel of Blackpepper fame.
Click Monday has successfully involved a swathe of big names in the event including Bendon, Icebreaker, Briscoes and Hallensteins. It goes live for 24 hours, starting at 7pm on November 25.
The reason for this flood of Kiwi CyberMonday lookalikes can be summed up in one word: ClickFrenzy. This Australian online shopping event, launched with a bang in 2012, attracted a whole lot of headlines across the ditch last year, not always for the right reasons (the ClickFrenzy website, was down for several hours because of unprecedented traffic volumes, with reportedly 5% of the Australian population, some 2 million users, landing on the Click Frenzy site in the first few minutes):
- Click Frenzy crashes under strain
- Click Frenzy branded an 'epic fail'
- Australia's Click Frenzy is a big #ClickFail
- Retailers spend $1 million on ads for site but questions already flying
Perhaps the most serious consumer complaint was simply that the deals on offer didn't live up to the hype:
- Following the launch of Click Frenzy, consumers immediately began comparing the 'deals' to local and international offers, highlighting the lack of value from some of the ClickFrenzy offers via Facebook. One example is Jamie Olivers 15-minute meals book, on sale for $26.95 via the Click Frenzy site. Customers were quick to respond calling out that the same book is available for less elsewhere (~$15 from the UK and under $25 at BigW and K-mart at a non-sale price). [PWC Digital Pulse]
Despite the negativity, Click Frenzy was repeated in Australia this year (last week), with rather more impressive results reported, including:
- Online fashion retailer The Iconic smashed previous sales records achieving its first $1m dollar day and doubling sales from last year. It counted more than 200,000 visits during the 24-hour flash sale. (AdNews)
- [IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark data] showed retail sales were up 16.3 per cent throughout Click Frenzy, which ran for 24 hours from 7pm, Tuesday 19 November 2013, compared to the same period last year. This is despite the fact preliminary figures of 1,061,000 visitors were slightly short of last year's 1.6 million. (Retailbiz)
- Traffic spikes during the 24 hour shopathon occurred around 9:30pm and 11:30am as people piled in after dinner, and again during mid-morning breaks. And they were looking for bargains: The average basket spend was down 4% from last year at $131.13. (AdNews)
By all accounts, one of the biggest problems with this year's ClickFrenzy event was Ambush Marketing, with non-participating retailers attempting to climb on the bandwagon without paying for the privilege:
- Dick Smith gatecrashes the online sale with Deal Frenzy, JB HiFi has Early Bird Xmas Frenzy, while Kogan is just always in a frenzy. (Channel News)
- Kogan.com.au has been issued with a cease-and-desist letter after it hosted a Click Frenzy sale despite not being part of the official event. (Smart Company)
We're already seeing similar ambushing in New Zealand. For example, even though the Warehouse Group's Click Madness event is officially over, there are still deals to be had when one searches for Click Monday:
Similarly, PBTech is serving up CyberMonday Sale advertising to accompany stories about online shopping, with its event starting one hour earlier:
Australian commentator Myles Harris offered up these key learnings from last year's Click Frenzy:
- That many Australian E-Tailers are under resourced and did not comprehend the amount of traffic a good deal online can bring.
- That many Australian retailers view online as an avenue of selling surplus stock. There were a lot of complaints last night that selection was limited and that the store treated it as a dumping ground.
- Many Australian retailers are not on the ball with online communication streams. Many who were part of Click Frenzy were not active on their Facebook pages or on twitter. Customers certainly loved those who were and directed them to the correct site without having to go through the Click Frenzy site.
- That if the price is right the people will come. For far too long retail and some Aussie e-tail have not offered any incentive to buy online price wise. The deals are often not good enough or it's the same price that is in the bricks and mortar stores. While this is an understandable tactic, it certainly does not attract the majority of online shoppers who shop on a global level.
As Click Monday prepares to launch in New Zealand, we wish the organisers well and trust that they and their participating retailers have learned these key lessons from our trans-Tasman neighbours.

No the Pacific islands are not drowning because of climate change – and all the media outlets who insist on claiming otherwise really need to get a grip.
This is the highly unusual message in the normally eco-hysterical Guardian from a scientific researcher evidently disgusted by the way any new paper even remotely connected with climate change is seized on by the usual media suspects as further proof of imminent "man-made global warming" catastrophe.
Dr Simon Albert, a researcher at the School of Biological Sciences at University of Queensland, was speaking out in irritation at the way a paper he had published in Environmental Research Letters on the Solomon Islands had been misrepresented by alarmists.
Among the offending newspapers which had used it to generate hysterical headlines was 'Äì you guessed it 'Äì the Guardian. 'Five Pacific islands lost to rising seas as climate change hits', it reported last week. The New York Times, the Washington Post and Think Progress covered the story in similarly apocalyptic terms.
Albert was not impressed. He told the Guardian:
All these headlines are certainly pushing things a bit towards the 'climate change has made islands vanish' angle. I would prefer slightly more moderate titles that focus on sea-level rise being the driver rather than simply 'climate change'

Screwdriver Directions
Screwdriver Directions
Non Sequitur
Did you know there are more than 100 different types of screwdrivers. The most popular screwdriver is the Phillips screwdriver. The Phillips screwdriver is used to set a screw with a crossed grooved head. Henry F. Phillips invented both the screw and the driver that bear his name. The Oregon businessman patented two versions of a fastening device for crosshead screws in 1934 and 1936. Phillips intended the screw for use with automatic screwdrivers and marketed it for mass-production industries such as auto manufacturing.

The Ketogenic Headache
I don't know if there is actually such a thing as a Ketogenic headache, but if there is, I had it today. I woke up with it and it got worse as the day wore on.
I have had sugar detox headaches before but this was the worst ever. Am I detoxing from the carbs in veggies? My dinner included a zuchinni cheese casserole and I felt quite a bit better after that.
So even with the zuchinni cheese dish, I managed to achieve 79/14/7 which is my best ratio to date as I try to achieve nutritional ketosis.
Here is my ketogenic diet food breakdown for the today:
- 1 egg with mayo
- ¼ c half&half
- Macadamia nuts
- 2 oz burger with mayo
- Pork rinds with guacamole
- Zuchinni casserole
- 1/3 c whipped cream jello dessert
This worked out to 1369 calories, 26 g carbs, 121 g fat, 50 g protein, and 15 g fibre. As far as the ratios go, I am aiming for the nutritional ketosis magic of 80% fat, so 79% wasn't bad. But I am really falling down with getting the protein count up. If there is a magic formula for what to eat to get these ratios, I don't know what it is yet!
I am really hoping this headache is gone tomorrow!

As Doctors celebrates its 2,000th episode, Ian Lavender and Simon Shepherd guest star in a special hour-long episode of the award-winning drama, which sees The Mill surgery under lockdown as a deadly virus is unleashed.
A woman, Charlotte, collapses in a hotel conference room with a mysterious rash. She later wakes in an isolation tent. When asked by Elliot Taylorman, the scientist investigating the virus, if she's been in contact with anyone else and if so where they are, Charlotte says only "The Mill" before she passes out.
At The Mill, Julia takes a call to say they have a "code blue" situation, nurse Cherry is trying to take blood from an obstreperous young woman called Vic and Dr Jimmi Clay is trying to pacify a paranoid ex-prisoner, Michael. Julia is sure it is a drill but can't take any risks, so asks receptionist Karen to call everyone to make sure staff and patients stay where they are.
Dr Heston Carter is with Rowland Beckley, an ex-brigadier who is quite happy to sit and wait, while Dr Zara Carmichael's patient, Mrs Potter, gets worked up about the offers she's missing at the supermarket.
George Liston, a virologist based at the University, is called to see the woman who has collapsed - but although he clearly recognises Charlotte's condition, he claims not to. While tensions mount as the staff and patients locked inside The Mill deal with the pressure of the situation, it becomes a race against time to try to track down the source of the virus.
When Cherry develops a rash that indicates she has the virus, Dr Simon Bond goes to see George Liston for help. George is adamant there is no cure, but Simon manages to get him to reveal the medication that might save her. But will Simon be able to persuade Jimmi to break the lockdown and get the medication to Cherry in time?

Big Love Season 4 Episode 5: Sins of the Father
In last night's episode of Big Love, the distance between Bill (Bill Paxton) and Ben (Douglas Smith) grew as the tension continued over that kiss that Ben shared with Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin). Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn) insists that Bill resolve the dispute immediately and even tried to make nice with Marg until she found out it was Marg's fault the kiss happenened. By the end of the episode Ben had run off with Bill's mother, that can't lead to anything good.
Bill also wins the Republican nomination for Senate after he gives a heartfelt speech about being a lost boy. Its important to note the only reason he admitted he was a lost boy was because a mugshot of a young Bill surfaced. That's the sign of a great politician, take a mugshot and turn it into a campaign slogan.
Sissy Spacek is back as Marilyn who, once she finds out Bill had slandered her name to the tribe, threatens to take revenge on Bill. That's not his only problem, Nicki is questioning how he feels about her since he has her do all his dirty work. He enlisted Nicki as a volunteer for Colburn so she can learn their secrets, helping Bill win the nomination.
As the episode ended, Marg and Bill were headed toward reconciliation, Barb was having a break down over the fact that Marg macked on her son, Nicki was ready to make another baby with Bill (despite the fact that he thinks she's "Morally ambiguous") and Benny was off with his crazy grandparents. What else can possibly happen to the Hendrickson's?

The GSW Herbarium has an impressive collection of over 13,000 cataloged specimen.
This is an interesting collection since the majority of the specimen are non-local flora with most being from California and Utah. The bulk of the collection was donated to GSW by Dr. Robert A. Norris and is referred to as the Norris Collection.
Current work in the herbarium is focused on the digitization of the Norris Collection. Each specimen will be imaged and the label information will be entered into Symbiota hosted by SERNEC. Symbiota provides a web portal to the data so that it can be search by individuals around the globe. To access the entered collection information, you can go to http://www.sernecportal.org/portal/index.php and limit your search to the GSW Herbarium. This is a labor intensive process and currently less than 5% of the collection in the portal.
More about Dr. Norris
Dr. Norris had a Ph.D. in biology and was a professor at Valdosta State University, Rutgers University and University of California at Berkeley. For over 30 years, he collected and traded his specimen with other intuitions. After donating his collection to the university, Dr. Norris continued to work with it and served as its curator until his death in 2010. Georgia Southwestern State University is honored to house the Norris Collection and appreciates all his labor and devotion to this project. He will be missed.

From the victor's epic tale to the outcast's lament, the stories of life's journey never cease. As biographies are built, the martial arts provide an unparalleled armor of honor, service, and courage to not just trudge through the valleys, but vanquish great mountains. Join us and witness the unconquerable spirit of incredible martial artists, whose journeys expand the vision of all who listen.
Austin Mills is a nine-year old with serious things on his mind. But the loss of his left arm isn't one of them.
Austin was born in 2003 without part of his left arm just below the elbow. Although he uses a prosthetic limb to ride a bike, he prefers to not wear it for everyday activities. His open-minded parents Lacye and Donald Mills have always let him try any kind of sport. But with Donald's deployment to Saudi Arabia as a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, Lacye was left juggling both children and their extracurricular activities.
"It's a lot of work to keep up with everything," says Lacye. "I was looking for something less strenuous. Austin had expressed an interest in karate, so we looked into a school. He's always been able to overcome any kind of situation when he's played sports or been active. So we just thought, 'Let's go for it.'"
When Lacye enrolled him in the Earl Harris Karate Academy, she was specific with the instructors to treat him like any other kid. The school was supportive and surprised with Austin's attitude.
"I was impressed with him when he started, because despite his condition, he still wanted to go out there and give it his all," says his instructor Master Keon Pinkney. "When he trains, he trains hard. He doesn't hold back."
A very forward thinking parent, Lacye was more concerned about how to modify the gear Austin would wear versus how he might get hit.
"I was a little hesitant at first, because we didn't know how he was going to be able to do the forms and participate in sparring. But he adapted. He's had four tournaments so far and has taken a fourth in forms and a third in sparring."
With the support of his instructors and family, Austin's confidence has grown while slowly shedding a timid and shy image. Lacye sees this personality come to life when he's in class.
"His self-confidence has grown by leaps and bounds," says Lacye. "He's always been a quiet and shy kid. But once he's on the mat doing forms or sparring, the focus and intensity is there. He commands attention. You can tell he's really passionate about it. He's really in his element."

Is the Comp the Cause for Plagiarism?
I was asked by Amanda Sosa Stone and Suzanne Sease to comment on a question on the blog A Photo Editor about the similarities between the CAT Footwear ads and Denis Darzacq's images from his project La Chute.
I've been asked for some thoughts on this series of ads for CAT Earthmovers Footwear shot by photographer Christopher Lane in the UK. For me, this issue brings up many visceral thoughts and emotions because not only am I a fan of the underlying images, but also know some of the photographers (other than Chris) who created them. The ads show a hooded figure jumping in a very industrial setting wearing jeans, sweats, and CAT Earthmovers Footwear.
I write this from two perspectives: one, how far should an artist go when mimicking, or borrowing ideas from other artists. Ultimately what is their responsibility to make an idea their own. Two, what is the responsibility of art directors and creative directors in educating their clients about a comp, and how it should be used to begin the creative process, not conclude it.
I would like to first look at the origin of the idea of jumping in photographs since that is the concept of the images and put it in a modern context. As a photographer, we all look for inspiration in everything around us, including other images by other shooters. As a kid, I was always a fan of the work of Philipe Halsman and his series of jumping portraits. Halsman himself had a fascinating life and was a regular contributor to Life Magazine. I first came across his work as a kid, when I used to take out the Time Life books on photography as a long term "loan.†There is work was prominent, and impressive, leaving a lasting impression on my subconscious. He is best known for the image of Salvador Dali jumping with water traveling through the frame and a cat flying through the air.
As an artist, though, when we get inspiration we have to then make it our own. I will borrow a seed of an idea, and then see where that creative road takes me. If I am shooting for a client, hopefully I have the room to take the image to a very personal place, a place that would be my work, and not that of the borrowed image. This should happen naturally, the pull of your own vision influences you to make "taste†decisions when creating an image that should in theory transcend the underlying image, no matter how good it is. The artist should be chosen for that reason, they should bring something more to the project, otherwise hire the original artist of the work or if they are dead, make it an homage.
This leads me to the trail of creativity that created the CAT ads. In each case, each artist has put their "physic†perspective and artistic touches to these concepts. The modern seed for this idea is the work of Sam Taylor Woods, a British artist, who has taken the idea of jumping and made it personal, literally. She shoots self portraits of herself floating through space, separated from the Earth, She calls the series "Suspended.†The images evoke a sense of freedom, of life and death and weightlessness. There is an ephemeral quality I can only believe is inspired by the artists' experience surviving two bouts of cancer.
The next set of images I feel are a variation and an interpretation of Sam's conceptual theme. Let me add here that themes or concepts cannot be copyrighted; only the execution of the concept is the subject of legal protection. Concepts themselves are free to live in the world for people to make their own. It is their execution, in legal terms the "look and the feel†of the images that is the subject of protection legally. The artist that created this next set of images has inspired me for years. I first saw her work in an "alt†magazine many years ago and she has continued to produce great images. I have had the pleasure of breaking bread with Julia Fullerton Batton and her husband Kelvin who is also a photographer, in Arles, France.
Julia's images deal with issues of isolation and alienation. Many of her subjects are teenage girls, relating to the slightly overly polished or greatly bizarre world around them. She has taken this seed of an idea, flying or jumping, and has now used that in her repertoire to fortify her underlying thesis of the world. In her series called "In Between,†she borrowed a general concept and made it her own. In my opinion, you cannot call these images the same from an artistic perspective (or a legal perspective). They exist as a consistent component of Julia's body of work that delves into the psychological and socioeconomic world of her subjects.
The last inspiration of mine is a journalistic one. Denis Darzaqu, the French photographer, spent time photographing French Hip Hop dancers in an amazing series called La Chute. The images won a World Press award and were included in the catalog, where I first saw them. I was immediately in love with the jarring flight he had created. Even though they could be viewed as a journalistic document, I also saw them as an original and artistic work of art that was emotionally inspired. My feeling for these images was strong enough to hunt Denis down in Arles to let him just how much I liked the work. They are stunning and I believe they are the true inspiration for the CAT ads. In fact they are so close in look, feel and concept to the ads that I can only think, why did the agency or CAT Earthmover not hire Denis Daraqu to shoot these ads? It stuns me!
Having shot for many years myself, I know how these things usually happen: the comp proposed by the design firm or ad agency gets the client stuck on exactly the image they see. How the style of the comp has changed over the years has been interesting. To sell ideas and ultimately get clients, pitches now include literal photographic images instead of the line drawings that agencies used to do when making a pitch. It's a competitive world out there pitching visual ideas to corporate number pushers that might not understand the vision of the agency pitch. To ensure that the client gets and loves the idea and then hires the agency, art directors are forgoing drawings for stock for "swipe†photographic images.
In Hollywood, this practice is rampant. At the top, Hollywood is a culture of sequel movies and TV shows, remakes, and spin offs. This has transcended into the ad agencies that create the campaigns for the studios and networks, and they "borrow†feverously. Ideas are often derived from a recently spied coffee table book or magazine feature that has inspired an Art Director or Creative Director. Then they create a campaign around the creative work of others. Creative theft might not be as blatant as that though. The images borrowed might just be for the purposes of bringing the client closer to the agencies vision. After all, why use a crappy line drawing when you can use a photograph?
OK, here's why: because if you put in a particular image into the comp, that's exactly what you are going to get, that image. Then it becomes plagiarism; you are intentionally trying to match the execution. It never gets expounded upon and it never becomes the vision of the artist you've hired. The client will almost always get stuck on the image you put in the comp. It's corporate culture. I can hear the executive from marketing now, "if it has been approved by the president, that's exactly what we have to get from the shoot or I'll get fired!!!â€
I've had this happen countless times and have had many conversations with my clients about it. If they are stuck on the image in the comp, I will insist they license it from the photographer that shot the original image, in addition to licensing my image. After all, we are now copying the execution of an image by another artist, the "look and feel†in legal terms. Remember, concepts are not copyrightable, only executions are. Wondering if Denis got paid for his inspiration, I contacted him. He told me that CAT originally asked him to shoot the job, but that they could not agree on a price.
I think the agency "painted themselves into a corner†by building a campaign around another artists work and then having the client not wanting to pay the photographer's price. I believe that the responsibility of the creatives at the very beginning, going into a pitch, is to make sure that the original artist will get some sort of fee for the "inspiration,†if the client chooses not to use them, for whatever reason. This way all parties get the consideration due them.
The other solution is for creatives to think strategically about what comps the client sees and gets to keep after a pitch meeting. Depending on how literally the client perceives the visuals, their direct literal interpretation of the comp can hinder the ultimate creative process by not allowing the chosen photographer to do his or her creative best. Â Or, even worse it can result in plagiarizing the work of another.

Yesterday we started our 17 Major Mistakes Business Owners Make and we covered 1 through 6. Today we'll cover 7 through 11, Business Enhancing Technology. Let's get started:
7. Make sure your files are protected. It may seem like it's not important, but all your computer files should be backed up. Preferably done automatically with an external hard drive for your computer and in the cloud. Nothing will slow your business down more than losing your files whether it's your client info or accounting information for tax purposes. I back all my info automatically in the cloud. That way nothing is lost.
8. Stay alert as to what is changing in you industry. Technology is forever changing with new tools being made available every week. By not staying up on the changes, you can very easily be left behind. Running your business with old technology, can reduce productivity and the profitability of your company. Along these same lines, stay up to date with business trends and regulatory issues that change constantly.
9. Up to Date Website. I would hope by now businesses would know that a web presence is essential to being in business. However, it's come to my attention that most of the websites are outdated and not up to the modern standards. When someone reaches out to connect with you, your website is the first impression of your business. A well put together website can be the difference between getting the business or not. Nowadays many websites are not mobile ready. They say that 60% of all searches are done on mobile. If your site is not mobile ready, how much business are you losing?
10. Never forget security. Every business has information that is proprietary or secret. Personal employee information is critical to keep safe along with client lists. Guard all this information. Make sure it's locked and secure.
11. Backup the backup and secure the secrets. There are all kinds of information that will be important to your success. And, it all needs to be safe and secure. Redundancy with contingency plans can save your future business.
Tomorrow we'll cover misc. details that can make a big difference in the big picture.
Again Thanks for the read.
If you need to contact me, I'm here.

Great Hotel, Good Value! Jan 14, 2010
The hotel itself looks much better than it shows in pictures on Internet. I stayed in this hotel for a conference held in downtown Houston in 1999. It was a wonderful hotel , superb location, superb service, beautiful room, everywhere is clean. We did not pay too much for the room with the conference discount. It is so convenient to get to the conference center. There is a nice Japanese restaurant nearby serving Habachi for lunch at $5! I will definitely stay there next time when I go to Houston downtown for a conference again.

Vance Joseph cracked the door on Tony Romo in the morning.
By late afternoon, John Elway came along and faced two options: Close the door shut on Romo, or open up the possibility a little more.
Sorry about this, Trevor and Paxton, but Elway, the Denver Broncos' general manager, did not select option one.
"I'll say this: We're going to look at all the options,'' Elway said in a media scrum Tuesday during the NFL Scouting Combine. "Once they become available, we're going to look at all the options and do what's best for the Denver Broncos and what's best for this team, because it's not only about winning next year it's also what's best for the future.
"So all those things will come into the discussion and once it gets to that point and we know where we are, we'll kick the tires on everything and do our homework on everything and then make the best decision on what we think is right for the Broncos.''
Trevor Siemian, the Broncos' incumbent starting quarterback, enters year three in the NFL. Lynch, the Broncos' first-round draft pick last year, may be back to sitting again in year two.
Romo had a nice, lengthy run as quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys until he was supplanted in 2016 by rookie Dak Prescott. The expectation is Romo will be released by the start of free agency on March 9.
Nabbing Romo would mean the Broncos aren't sold on Siemian or Lynch, at least not for 2017. Wouldn't Elway be especially disappointed if his first-round draft pick sat two years?
"No. Because I think the bottom line is we want to get an answer at that position for the future,'' he said during an interview with 9NEWS. "Hopefully a long future. That's why we want to be very careful on the front side of it because we think he has the ability to be that guy that can carry the franchise for a long, long time. The last thing we want to do is put them in there before he's ready, before they're ready. That's why it's important for us to make the right decision on the front side to make sure we secure that future.''

I tend to like well prepared food, served simply. Or in other words, plain. I'd like to explore some sauces that would work well for us. I must eat low carb and Mr. Sueatmo must eat reduced fat. The only thing I've been able to come up with is a little melted butter mixed with hot sauce, like a chipolte flavored hot sauce. I can't use a lot of butter, so often what I attempt to pour over our food is pretty skimpy.
Any ideas for a nice sauce to spoon over a piece of grilled meat or fish? Or to make steamed broccoli something special? I think I've tried lemon juice and butter which is only OK, probably because I don't use enough butter for the flavors to sparkle. At any rate, if any one has any tips or tricks, I'd like to hear them.
Thanks in advance.

Well statistically the nations with the highest quality of life and some of the least crime are also largely nonreligious.. Whether or not a nation is religious has no bearing on the quality of life within that nation.
This is just another nail in the coffin for fundamentalist Christians in America who forgot that we have separation of church and state. They're going to keep losing court case after court case until they realize this. Everyone in the nation shouldn't have to follow the religious definition of marriage or religious lifestyle. We can all live together while walking many different paths in life.11|00|2

A Taste of 2012: House Democrats Run Ads Against 19 Republicans
It's never too early to advertise.
With the next election still 21 months away, House Democrats go up on the air this week with radio ads targeting 19 Republicans. Most of the targets are first-year lawmakers who just arrived in Washington, giving them a taste of what's to come as they gear up for re-election fights that could prove dicey.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee launches its ad blitz during drive-time today, despite owning the bank and its vendors nearly $20 million from the "shellacking" last November. The targets of these ads show where the party will direct its energy over the next two years in its drive to pick up 25 House seats in the hopes of regaining their majority.
Campaign committees often spend money early in an election cycle as a sign of strength, despite debt leftover from the last election. Democrats were chastised for launching advertising campaigns early in the 2006 election cycle – a cycle in which they eventually regained the House. Republicans did the same thing in 2009, when most prognosticators didn't think they had a shot to win back the majority.
One version of the ad blasts eight Republicans for supporting a budget-cutting initiative that would slash federal spending in the areas of education and research – two places where President Barack Obama wants to invest more federal dollars, not less. Another version calls on seven of their colleagues to oppose the same initiative.
Two of the ads are a little more personal: one alerts voters in the Philadelphia suburbs that Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick, who returns to the House after four years away, missed his official swearing in, and the other reminds voters in South Florida that freshman Rep. David Rivera faces a criminal investigation for loans he took from his mother's company – loans he says he has since repaid…

Alright Spark Friends I need your input!!
A Planet Fitness gym has opened down the street from my parents house. My parents live about 20 minutes from me (depending on traffic of course) and my work is smack in the middle so it's convenient to home and work. My sister and dad have both joined. It's $1 to join, $10/month with a $29 annual fee.
Two concerns - I'm lazy and won't go and I'm pretty poor right now. I've been dying for a gym to open near me so I can use the treadmills and ellipticals and this is a pretty manageable price. I'm thinking yes but I need some convincing!

Straight up - I would join now! Here's why:
1. Those prices! Wow, that seems amazing.
2. Convenient!
3. Afraid you won't go? If you don't join then you for sure won't go. Join & it's an excellent resource for getting exercise.
4. How else are you going to run during the brutal PA winter?
5. Planet Fitness sounds like a good place to work out. You are lucky. These are my options in my little rural neck of the woods: a)Snap Fitness which I think costs $35 a month & I don't know if there is an annual fee. b)A gym used for martial arts & mma. They offer only classes (no machines to work on). or c)This place: http://www.taurusgym.com/ Seriously. Check it out if you have a minute. That's the best guy they have to put in their video? Would you want personal training from the guy in the tight blue jeans? I don't think so.
I'm going to try to talk my husband into either letting me join Snap or getting us a treadmill once winter comes around. I'm keeping my fingers crossed cause I think I really want to join a gym.
When you add up all the cost it's $150 per year which = $12.50 per month. So, after all that Planet Fitness sounds like a dream. I WOULD JOIN.

I think you should go for it. It is a very reasonable price and if you make plans to meet your dad or your sister at a specific time, you are more likely to carry through. Good luck!
