Bolton took a massive step towards survival thanks to Matthew Taylor's late brace at Stoke.
Dave Kitson had given the Potters a first-half lead after latching onto Tuncay Sanli's pass and rounding Jussi Jaaskelainen in the 13th minute.
But Taylor turned the match around, drawing things level with a free-kick in the 85th minute before netting the winner three minutes later.
The win takes Owen Coyle's side - who had lost their previous four matches - up to 14th in the Barclays Premier League, but more importantly, they are now seven points clear of the drop zone with three games to play.
It was a result that looked unlikely after a first half which Stoke dominated.
The hosts' first chance came in the 11th minute when Rory Delap almost crept in to steal the ball as Gretar Steinsson attempted to shepherd it back to Jaaskelainen.
After it was scrambled away, Delap launched his first long throw of the game into the Wanderers' box which Robert Huth sent looping over the bar.
Two minutes later, the Potters were ahead as Tuncay lofted the ball over the Bolton defence for Kitson, who prodded it past a stranded Jaaskelainen before slotting home.
Stoke almost doubled their advantage shortly after as another long throw was again met by Huth, whose header hit the post before bouncing off Liam Lawrence and out of play.
Fabrice Muamba picked up a yellow card on the half-hour after clattering Huth, but from a handy position, Glenn Whelan could only blast the free-kick into the Bolton wall and the ball was cleared.
A minute later, Tuncay picked out Kitson again with another delightful pass, but as the former Reading striker advanced towards Jaaskelainen he was flagged offside.
Tuncay created some space for himself in the area five minutes before the break but was denied by a slide tackle from Paul Robinson, and Huth made a poor connection when the ball fell to him from a corner, leaving an easy catch for Jaaskelainen.
Having seen his side produce next to nothing in the opening 45 minutes, Coyle tried to inject more urgency into the Bolton attack by throwing on striker Ivan Klasnic for the second half in place of Sam Ricketts.
The visitors looked determined to make a better go of things and had a chance within seconds of the restart when Kevin Davies nodded down Robinson's free-kick in the box, but it fell to Zat Knight, who produced the finish of a centre-half which was well off target.
Five minutes later Wanderers had their best opportunity so far as Davies squared to Klasnic, who flashed a shot across Thomas Sorensen's goal that went the wrong side of the post.
Taylor then blazed his attempt at a spectacular volley high over the bar before finding Klasnic, who again could only send his effort wide.
Bolton seemed to be growing in confidence and on the hour Klasnic instigated a counter-attack which led to Jack Wilshere forcing Sorensen into a diving save.
Stoke were looking a shadow of themselves in the first half, but Danny Collins did get a header away in the 66th minute that did little to trouble Jaaskelainen.
The Potters had been on the ropes for most of the half, but with 20 minutes to go they suddenly created a flurry of chances that could have sealed the game.
First Dean Whitehead bolted forward and attempted to hoist a long ball over Jaaskelainen, but the Finnish keeper jumped to palm the ball upwards and the danger was cleared.
Then substitute Matthew Etherington surged down the left flank and played the perfect pass for Tuncay, who hit the post from only a few yards out.
Kitson was perhaps even more guilty of profligacy immediately after as he hit the rebound over the bar under a challenge from Steinsson.
Stoke were back in the ascendancy and eager to seize the moment, Tony Pulis sent on Ricardo Fuller for Tuncay.
Moments later Jaaskelainen was tested again as Danny Higginbotham sent a low drive into his arms, and Kitson then headed over from Etherington's corner.
It was Kitson's final act as Pulis put on James Beattie to add more fresh legs up front, but it was Bolton who hit back with five minutes remaining after their substitute Vladimir Weiss was brought down by Dean Whitehead on the edge of the area.
Taylor rifled the free-kick past Sorensen into the bottom corner and Wanderers were level.
Three minutes later Taylor was the matchwinner as he got on the end of Weiss' cross, before Stoke captain Abdoulaye Faye wasted a glorious chance to equalise at the death.

Hultberg: State in good fiscal health — for now
Alaska's fiscal picture is a pretty one compared with most states. But that won't be the case if expenditures continue to rise and oil production remains on the decline, said Alaska Department of Administration commissioner Becky Hultberg during a meeting of the Chugiak-Eagle River Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at the Bear Mountain Grill in Eagle River.
"We have to make some difficult decisions," Hultberg told the chamber.
During her presentation, Hultberg said the state's operating budget has doubled — from $4 billion to $8 billion — in just the past decade.
"We cannot sustain that rate of growth," Hultberg said.
Health care and retirement costs are a big part of that increase, she said. Since 2001, state spending on health care has risen at a rate of 9.4 percent a year, while the state is currently on the hook for $11 billion in pension liabilities.
"Every part of the budget has grown in the last decade," she said.
So far, the state has been able to keep its head above water because of the high price of oil. But without future sources of revenue, that might not be the case, she said.
"We need a strong and healthy revenue stream," she said.
As of right now, she said Alaska's fiscal health is strong, with a budget surplus and plenty of money in the bank. It's a position many states Outside aren't as fortunate to enjoy, she said.
"We have a healthy balance sheet," she said. "We're the envy of other states."
But Hultberg also pointed out that Alaska's oil production continues to decline at a rate of about 5 percent a year. If current trends of increasing spending and decreasing oil production continue, she said Alaska could be in for a rude awakening. On a graph, Hultberg pointed to two lines. One, representing spending, shot upward. The other, showing revenue from oil production, went in the opposite direction.
"If nothing changes, revenue and expenses crosses in the next decade," she said.
In order to avoid running at a deficit in the very near future, Hultberg said measures must be taken now — both by the private sector and government — to reign in spending and locate new revenue streams.
"We all have a role in coming to the table to help solve that problem," she said.

Gronwall's Inequality
We're going to need another analytic lemma, this one called "Gronwall's inequality". If is a continuous, nonnegative function, and if and are nonnegative constants such that
for all then for all in this interval we have
That is, we can conclude that grows no faster than an exponential function. Exponential growth may seem fast, but at least it doesn't blow up to an infinite singularity in finite time, no matter what Kurzweil seems to think.
Anyway, first let's deal with strictly positive . If we define
then by assumption we have . Differentiating, we find , and thus
Integrating, we find
Finally we can exponentiate to find
proving Gronwall's inequality.
If , in our hypothesis, the hypothesis is true for any in its place, and so we see that for any positive , which means that must be zero, as required by Gronwall's inequality in this case.

Post subject: half life of rct
What a great site. I still need to revisit the how long do they stay fresh as i have a bake sale 3 days from date of prep. Should I wrap each one individually or keep them all neatly cut near each other? So far I've learned about the 4 Tab. of butter and the keeping them in fridge or somewhere cool and using fresh ingredients. Any other tips. thanks.

Post subject: rice crispie treats for construction
Lol... I am reading these posts trying to figure out how to make my rice crispie treats hard as a rock! We are stuffing the hold of our gingerbread pirate ship with rice crispy treats to help support the deck and masts... I want it to set up like a brick and last for a month or two. I've gathered that I should use stick butter and stale marshmallows, whereas I had originally intended marshmallow creme. I'll let you know how it goes. What a great website!!

Post subject: fruity treats
I tried the tradtional recipe using fruit-flavored marshmallows (which took quite a long time to find!), and it was quite a nice variation. I would like to make this and the Fruity Pebbles version (with regular marshmallows) simultaneously and compare the flavors. To my great disappointment, though, the marshmallow colors all blended together and the final product did not look any different than regular Rice Krispie Treats. (In my imagination, they were to be beautiful, multi-colored treats...)

Post subject: with peanut butter and honey
The way I grew up with these was with peanut butter. I made some just today.
1 cup peanut butter (I use crunchy, but it's up to you)
1 cup sugar (white sugar is fine, brown sugar is fine)
1 cup honey
6 cups Rice Crispies
Combine the peanut butter, sugar, and honey. Cook just until the sugar has melted (you might see a couple of bubbles). Microwave or cooktop is fine. DON'T boil this mixture. If you do, the resulting treats will be rock hard.
Mix in the cereal, as quickly as you can. Spread in a 9 inch by 13 inch pan (I line with waxed paper and butter the waxed paper).
Optional: melt about 6 ounces of chocolate chips and spread on top.

Post subject: Comments and Variation Sensitivity
Enjoyable site, especially all the comments. My son and I like the ingredient and process chart at the bottom. I recommend trying the toffee recipe (fun and enjoyable!).
I've been making crisped cereal treats for many years and some comments are:
-- Ratios of cereal, butter/oil/margarine, and marshmallows are not critical. You end up with a tasty, edible treat regardless. The result just varies the texture (gooey-ness, chewiness, crispness), a bit on the flavor (more or less marshmallow-ey) and minimally on enjoyment.
-- The marshmallow goo is a binder for whatever (you want to hold together. Experimenting is a fun parent/child activity. It exposes the kids to cooking as a fun experience and makes great teaching moments (energy, heat capacity, heat transfer rates, chemistry, humidity, phase changes, etc.)
-- Substituting stick margarine for butter gives a crunchier treat.
-- As with all candies, the temperature of the sugar mix significantly affects the final product. Heating the mixture longer (driving out more water) results in crisper (harder) treats. Not bringing it to a full melt gives a more gooey, chewey treat. My preference is to turn off the heat just as there are some marshmallows with a bare hint of being distinct objects. (I use small marshmallows.)
-- As noted in the toffee recipe comments, for any sugar mix, humidity is a factor. This recipe is much less sensitive than others. In more humid conditions, consider driving out a bit more moisture from your marshmallow mix before adding the cereal to counter the humidity effects. I usually don't worry about it since I'm not worried about texture and long term storage. I'm lucky if there are any treats remaining after a couple hours (I have teenage sons and their friends foraging in the kitchen...my wife calls them "the hordes" based on the similarity to hordes of locusts).
-- Smaller marshmallows work better for me since they don't take as long to heat through to the center. I tend to get crunchier treats when I use large marshmallows because the majority of the mix has been rising in temperature while I'm waiting for the centers of the large marshmallows to melt.
-- Always use a lower heat and be patient! It is very easy to burn the bottom while waiting for heat to transfer into the marshmallow centers. (The entrapped air acts as an insulator...think neoprene wet suits, Styrofoam coolers, double-pane windows, etc.)
-- Gas heat is definitely better (in my experience) for recipes that are sensitive to burning. Hot spots from electric coils are a pain to compensate for. I have not tried induction or the other methods of uniform heating, but expect them to be less prone to burned areas.
-- If you don't have gas, remove the pan from the heating element as soon as you turn off the heat. The stored energy in the element will continue the heating long after you think it should.
-- For easier clean up (I'm lazy), skip the pan for spreading the treat into. I put wax paper directly on the counter and dump the mix onto this. I pat with my bare hand. (Adding the cereal just as the marshmallows are barely melted gives me a mix that is not hot enough to be uncomfortable. Use caution and good judgment to develop your process.) Clean up involves nibbling stuck mixture from my hand, rinsing out the pot after soaking the it and the wooden spoon for 20 minutes in cold water (shorter for warm water) and stuffing the pot, spoon, and measuring utensils into the dishwasher.
-- Most any cereal will work as a filler. Crunchy cereals, harder treats, or if I eat a lot at once, seems to abrade the roof of my mouth.
-- Patting the treats to be about 25 mm (1 inch) thick is much easier for cutting and more comfortable eating (less prone to abrade against the roof of your mouth when biting a bit off).
-- Honey Nut Cheerios (tm) are my favorite substitute if I'm doing an alternate cereal.

Post subject: I always thought...
I always thought that the variety with peanut butter and butterscotch chips was the original. Those are what I remember most from when I was a kid. I HAD the recipe from Kellogg's but lost it - the one with the peanut butter and butterscotch chips. Does anyone have it?
Also, I just discovered when buying the chips that they lost an ounce. They used to be 12 oz and now they are 11 oz. Will that be a problem?

Another good variation is to use "Fruity Pebbles", add a 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips and another 1/2 cup drizzled over the top after the tasty treats have cooled. I cut the New Year numbers into the dessert and served it for the new year.

Post subject: substitution for marshmallows
I just made some treats with 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup corn syrup (no HFCS) and 1 cup peanut butter. Great stuff. It occurred to me that the only extra ingredient in marshmallows is the gelatine, which would be immaterial in a cooked syrup. The only reason for the gelatine would be to enable the syrup to be whipped to incorporate air.
Has anyone tried making treats with just white sugar, corn syrup, butter and vanilla? I could just bravely forge ahead and conduct this dangerous experiment on my own, but just wanted some input.
thanks all-

Post subject: rice krispy treats without marshmallows
I bravely decided to try this on my own. I combined 1 cup white sugar with 1 cup light corn syrup and heated it to 240 degrees F (soft ball stage) in the microwave. The mixture will bubble and boil. I then added 2 oz (1/4 cup) butter and 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Mixed together and poured over 8 cups crispy rice.
The taste and texture are a bit different. The syrup is a clear one and less viscous than the marshmallow mixture. The treats seem a bit sweeter than the regular recipe; I may add some salt in the next batch.
Works great if you have no marshmallows and don't want to leave the house.

In Australia, we have Rice bubbles (kellogs), but out fav thing to make from them is Chocolate crackles! mmmm
I have to agree that Chocolate Crackles are THE BEST way to eat Rice Bubbles (rice crispies as you guys call them), and the second best way is Mars Bar Slice - hmm, might just have to go and buy some Mars Bars so I can make some. . . . .

The Chimney Balloon
A version of this article appears in the March/April 2009 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
March 09, 2009
Most homeowners like to have the option of using the fireplace once in a while. I operate Grading Spaces LLC, Home Inspection and Performance Analysis, serving residences in southern Wisconsin since 2002. It's the typical one-stop-shop, whole-house inspection service. Grading Space's success is due in large part to an educate-the-homeowner approach that involves a detailed reporting method that I developed over time. Half of my time is spent educating homeowners. This is the most exciting part of the job to me, because I am imparting information that seems obvious and yet is enlightening. The information is presented in such a way that clients can easily prioritize their energy upgrade decisions. Most homeowners appreciate having an independent and objective source of information available to them, one that is not trying to sell them on any particular product, but rather gives them information that can help them to get the best value for their dollars.

is the capital of the principality of Liechtenstein. A town of 5,000
inhabitants, Vaduz is located along the Rhine. It has art collections,
a postal museum, and a lively tourist industry. The Principality of
Liechtenstein is a tiny, doubly landlocked country in Western Europe,
bordered by Switzerland to its west and by Austria to its east.
Mountainous, it is a winter sports resort, though it is perhaps
best-known as a tax haven. As an alpine country, the main opportunity
for Liechtensteiners to excel is in winter sports such as downhill
skiing: Hanni Wenzel won two gold medals in the 1980 Winter Olympics.
With nine medals overall (all in alpine skiing), Liechtenstein has won
more Olympic medals per capita than any other nation

The Cambria Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF seeks investment results that closely correspond to
the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Cambria Emerging Shareholder
Yield Index. The Index consists of stocks with high cash distribution characteristics. The initial
screening universe for this Index includes stocks in emerging market countries with market
capitalizations over US $200 million. The Index is comprised of the 100 companies with the best
combined rank of dividend payments and net stock buybacks, which are the key components of
shareholder yield. The Index also screens for value and quality factors, and for companies that
demonstrate low financial leverage.
Data as of 4/1/2020
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.
Cumulative return is the aggregate amount that an investment has gained or lost over time. Annualized return is the average return gained or lost by an investment each year over a given time period. Cambria Funds' NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
The closing market price is the Mid-Point between the Bid and Ask price as of the close of exchange. Since the Fund's Shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund's inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in Shares, the NAV of the Fund is used to calculate market returns.

To determine if this Fund is an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expense before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund's full or summary prospectus which may be obtained by calling 855-383-4636 (ETF INFO) or visiting our website at www.cambriafunds.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.
The Cambria Sovereign Bond ETF was formerly known as The Cambria Sovereign High Yield Bond ETF.
SOVB, GMOM, TAIL, TRTY, TOKE, GAA and VAMO are actively managed using proprietary investment strategies and processes. There can be no guarantee that these strategies and processes will produce the intended results and no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. This could result in the Fund's underperformance compared to other funds with similar investment objectives.
ETFs are subject to commission costs each time a "buy" or "sell" is executed. Depending on the amount of trading activity, the low costs of ETFs may be outweighed by commissions and related trading costs. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Market price returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 pm Eastern Time (when NAV is normally determined), and do not represent the return you would receive if you traded at other times.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, international investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from social, economic, or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Bonds and bond funds are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value as interest rates rise.
Investments in sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt obligations involve special risks not present in corporate debt obligations. The issuer of the sovereign debt or the authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default. Investments in commodities are subject to higher volatility than more traditional investments. The fund may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Fund's gains or losses. The use of leverage by the fund managers may accelerate the velocity of potential losses. The Fund employs a "momentum" style of investing that emphasizes investing in securities that have had higher recent price performance compared to other securities. This style of investing is subject to the risk that these securities may be more volatile than a broad cross-section of securities or that the returns on securities that have previously exhibited price momentum are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. Diversification may not protect against market loss. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume.
Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Buying and selling shares will result in brokerage commissions. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
There are special risks associated with margin investing. As with stocks, you may be called upon to deposit additional cash or securities if your account equity declines.

A Little About Myself
Full length, good width.
The door leaked from day one. Warranty kicked in with the customer service team being very helpful. After getting two new seals and lots of time getting them in place, we finally were able to use the tub after about 7 weeks. There was frustration.
Service & Delivery
Delivery was good and timing was okay.
Certify that complete tub has been tested before it is shipped. Also, the salesmen could have sent an instruction sheet about installing the replacement seal. Consider designing the door to have a second lock near the bottom.

Sample Sunday School Lessons for Children
Under His Wings
The following lesson for children is a free sample Sunday School lesson from The Resource Room.
Member's - Includes everything on this page.
Bible Verse:
"He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:" Psalm 91:4a
Printable Bible Verse Card:
(Younger children) Print out onto card stock, write the Bible verse on the cards and make copies. (Printable patterns available to members on The Resource Room above.)
Teaching Concepts:
God protects us like a mother bird protects her chicks. We don't have to be afraid because we can trust in him.
Opening Activities
1. Work on a Hen and Chick Color Sheet
1. Print out the Pattern and make copies.
(Printable patterns available to members on The Resource Room above.)
2. In class have your children color the picture.
3. You can also bring in small feathers for them to glue to the hen. Write the Bible verse on the left-hand side of the picture.
2. Make a Mother Hen with Her Chick Craft
(Printable patterns available to members on The Resource Room above.)
This craft comes with two patterns, a mother hen and her chick. Children color the patterns, cut them out, and fold the mother's wings down, and place the chick underneath the mother's wings. The legs and tail fold out to make a stand so the hen sits up.
3. Hen and Chick Craft
What you will need:
Colored Paper
Crayons or Markers
How to Make the Red Hen Craft:
1. Before class print out the red hen pattern onto brown or red paper. Or you can use white paper and let your children color the pattern if you would like.
(A Pattern for this craft is available to members. It is basically a large triangle with the points folded in. The chick is the same triangle only smaller.) (Printable patterns available to members on The Resource Room above.)
2. In class have your children color the pattern and cut it out, and then fold down the top point to make the hen's head and beak, and fold in the two side points to make the wings.
3. Have children draw in the eyes and beak, and glue on a waddle cut from construction paper. Write the Bible verse inside the folded wings.

4. Practice Printing and Writing
This lesson was designed to go along with ABC worksheets using the Bible verse. Children practice writing the letter A in print or cursive or write the complete verse in cursive or print. (Printable patterns available to members on The Resource Room above.)
As children work on their projects talk about feathers. Tell them to feel them and describe how they feel. Ask them if they have any down comforters or pillows at home. Ask them how it feel to wrap themselves up in a warm blanket on a cold night.

The Lesson
Preparation: Bring in warm comforters and spread them out on the floor for the children to lay on. Wrap a comforter around yourself.
(Preschool) Before the lesson play follow the leader. Place a sheet or blanket over your shoulders and around your arms to look like wings (a cape). Tell the children that you are going to pretend to be a mother hen. Spread out your arms and show them your wings. They are going to pretend to be your chicks. They are to follow you around the room and do what you do. When you say, "Cluck, cluck, cluck." They should all come and hide under your wings. Walk around the room acting like a chicken: scratch on the floor with your feet like you are looking for grain, flap your wings up and down while you walk around chairs, pretend like you are trying to fly, etc. then say, "cluck, cluck, cluck" and open your arms for all the children to come to you and give them a great big chicken hug. Have the children sit down.
Have you ever watched a hen with her chicks or seen them on TV? They are really interesting to watch. The little chicks follow their mother everywhere she goes. She leads them all over the barnyard showing them where to find food and watching over them. The little chicks know not to wonder far from her. Whenever the mother hen thinks there is danger she lifts up her wings and the little chicks all come running for cover. She protects them from the wind, and rain, and heat of the sun by covering them with her wings. She keeps them warm with the heat from her body. She keeps them warm like a great big blanket. She keeps them dry like an umbrella. And she protects them from danger.
The Bible tells us that God is a lot like a bird or hen who protects and watches over her chicks. He watches over us and protects us so we don't have to be afraid. Open your Bible and read Psalm 91:4-5. (Help the children find the verse in their Bibles. Give them each a big feather to mark the place. Have someone read the verse or read it to them. "He will shield you with his wings. He will shelter you with his feathers. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night . . ." Psalm 91:4-5
Have you ever been afraid at night when you are in your room and it's really dark? I think we all have. This verse tells us we don't have to be afraid because God is watching over us. Just like a mother bird watches over her chicks. She covers them with her wings and protects them from the cold and from danger. When you are lying in bed and feel afraid you can remember this verse. "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:" Don't you feel a little better when you have a big soft blanket to hide under? (Bring the comforter up around your face and peek out like you are afraid.) God is like that big blanket. You can ask him to comfort you and help you not to be afraid. (Did you know that some comforters are made with feathers called down?) When you hide under your blanket at night remember that God is also there with you surrounding you with his love.
Do you remember David of David and Goliath? Remember how he as a young man killed the Giant with a little rock. He was very brave, but David wasn't always without fear. There were many times when he was tired and afraid, when he felt like God was far away. (Psalm 4, 6, 10, and 13).
After David killed Goliath he went to live with King Saul. At first King Saul was glad to have David there. He put him in charge of a great army. David was so good that people started talking about him. They thought he was even better than King Saul. (1 Sam.18:5) King Saul became very jealous of David. He tried to kill him several times. David had to run away and hide. King Saul sent many people after David to find him and kill him. David had to hide out in the desert and in the hills. He had to keep moving to keep Saul and his men from finding him. At times he thought for sure that Saul would kill him (1 Samuel 27:1), but he knew God was on his side and that God would protect him. When he was scared or lonely he wrote and sang songs to God.
Here is part of one of the Psalms David wrote: "How much longer will you forget me, Lord? Forever? How much longer will you hide yourself from me? How long must I endure trouble? How long will sorrow fill my heart day and night? . . . Look at me, O Lord my God, and answer me. Restore my strength; don't let me die. I rely on your constant love; I will be glad, because you will rescue me. I will sing to you, O Lord, because you have been good to me." (Psalm 13 Good News Translation)
Many of David's songs are in the book of Psalms. These songs comforted him and made him feel better. Do you ever sings song when you are afraid? If you are afraid, try singing "Jesus Loves Me" or another song you know. This will help you to trust God to take care of you, just like David did.
We are going to learn a verse from the book of Psalms. We don't know who wrote this psalms but it could have been David. "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:" Psalm 91:4a (He will cover you with his wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you. GNT)
Copyright 2000, Digital by Design, Inc. - See Copyright Information
Father, we thank you for your loving kindness, for taking care of us and protecting us. Help us to never stray to far from you. Help us to become more dependent on you and more trusting of you every day. Amen
1. Memory Verse Search Game
1. Before class print out and cut out the Memory Verse Chicks. (Printable patterns available to members on The Resource Room above in both KJV and NIV.)
2. Make more than one copy of the pattern. Write one word of the memory verse on the belly of each chick. Hide the chicks around the room. You can tape them to the bottom and the back of chairs and on the walls, etc. After the lesson place the mother hen (use the pattern from the craft) in the center of the table (or tell them you are the mother hen). Tell the children that the mother hen is calling for her little chicks. Ask them to help the mother hen find her chicks and when they find one, bring them to you or the hen picture. When all the chicks are found have the children take turns trying to figure out the order the chicks need to be in to spell out the memory verse. If you have children who can't read or who are learning to read, ask them questions about the verse. For example, you can say, "Who has the word "he"? It starts with the letter "H". You can also write the words on the board and have the children match up their chick to the words on the board.
2. Feather Relay
Divide your children up into teams. Give each child a feather. Mark a starting point and an ending point. On the word go the first player in each team places his feather on the floor and uses a piece of cardboard to blow the feather across the room to the end mark and then back again. When the first player returns, the second player goes, and so on until the whole team has had a turn. The first team to have all their players cross the finish line wins. Preschool children will just enjoy trying to get their feathers across the line without touching them.

I just wanted to tell you we recently used the lesson about God keeping us safe under his wings at home. We hatched baby chicks two weeks ago and that lesson went perfect. Anyone who is going to hatch eggs this year at school should really consider the lesson. It's a great way for kids to see how much the baby chicks rely on others to feed and water them like we rely on God to care for us. Jennie Galloway
Had another great lesson to night thanks to you. I changed some
things around as usual. My helper and I shared with the children
some of our bedtime fears from when we were young. They thought
they were funny. I took the chicks from the memory game and ran
them off on yellow poster board and colored their beaks orange.
Next I took the wings from the "HE covers us with His feathers'
craft and enlarged them and cut them off or orange and brown construction
paper, I used the head, beak, and heart shaped waddle from the "Stand up hen craft" at First school. You could use
the feet to but I made my own, and half circle with 3 triangles
sticking out. Cut the head out of orange or brown to match the wings,
the beak out of yellow, the feet out of orange, and the heart out
of red. I cut 2 one for the head and under the beak. I then took
brown lunch sacks and had the children stuff them with wadded up
newspaper. We fluffed them up and folded the 'neck' flat and stapled
it together. Each child received a head, a beak (I folded a little crease
on either side to make a flat part for easier gluing.) two red hearts for a comb and waddle, two feet, and two wings, and two baby
chicks. They were given markers to make eyes and some made tongues too.
They glued the mouth, waddle and comb to the head. The glue wasn't
strong enough so we stapled the head to the 'neck' part of the
bag. We then glued and some stapled the wings to the side of the
body and they glued to little chicks to the front. They glued the
feet under the bag where they stuck out. I didn't have time but
it would have been cute to trace their hands a couple or three times
and cut them out to attach as tail feathers. Another idea is to
run off egg shapes on poster board, put the memory verse in the
middle and glue it to the front of the chicken. Easter grass could
be glued around the bottom for a nest if desired. They turned out
really cute and the kids loved them. We did the memory verse. I said part and clapped and then the children repeated it with words and claps.
We also changed your song:
We are called the Sunbeams ( We Shine for Jesus) but you could put children in there too.
Where are the Sunbeams. (Children)
Where are the Sunbeams. (Children)
Peep, peep, peep
Peep, peep, peep.
Jesus is calling,
Jesus is calling,
Come to me.
Come to me.
Here are the Sunbeams. (Children)
Here are the Sunbeams. (Children)
Peep, peep, peep,
Peep, peep, peep.
Under God's wings,
Under God's wings,
Safe and sound,
Safe and sound.
Here is One More Thing We Did.
I found a cute activity, I can't remember where, for Thanksgiving called the Turkey Jerky. Here is how we changed it.
You put your right drumstick in (Chicken leg) (Right leg)
You put your right drumstick out
You put your right drumstick in and you shake it all about.
(Now put hands under arms to make wings and turn around flapping them)
You always trust in God and you never are afraid
That's what the Bible says! (Clap hands here)
You put your left drumstick in (Left leg).
You put your left drumstick out.
You put your left drumstick in and you shake it all about.
You always trust in God and you never are afraid.
That's what the Bible says.
You put your right wing in (Right arm. Make a wing like for the turning around).
You put your right wing out.
You put your right wing in and you shake it all about.
You always trust in God and you never are afraid.
That's what the Bible says.
You put your left wing in (Left arm).

I just wanted to share with you how much my Sunday school class enjoyed the Under His Wings Lesson (I teach ages 4 -10). We used the lesson pretty much as it was written, but made one adjustment. We took the mother hen with her chick craft, and each child decorated and assembled their craft. On the baby chick, they wrote their names. We then glued all our hens with their chicks on a poster board and put the title "God covers us with His wings" on the top. We then filled in the space between the hens with colorful feathers. We also included hens for those who were not there that Sunday, and for church family members that especially needed extra prayer and protection. The kids proudly displayed their poster board in the chapel foyer for everyone to see. Beth

Interview with George Klein
Source: Elvis Australia
July 28, 2006
SJ : Almost thirty years after his death, are you still amazed that we're talking about Elvis the way that we are?
GK : Yeah, I'm amazed. It's mindboggling. I thought that after five years or so it would dwindle down. It would be just an average thing, like Marilyn Monroe or Jimmy Dean or John Wayne. I realised I was wrong after ten years because then I realised it could go on forever because it was just unbelievable what was happening. I do a show every Friday from Graceland for Sirius radio - an all-Elvis channel, they play Elvis 24-7. When I'm at Graceland, I'm seeing more and more and more young people. I'm talking people from 21 to 35 or so. I ask them, how can you be an Elvis fan, you wouldn't be old enough to really know who he was. And what most of them tell me is that they're parents or whatever have the videos and movies in their homes and then they got interested.
SJ : When you're doing your Elvis program, what sort of music do you like to play?
SJ : Tell us about your first meeting with Elvis and what was your impression of him?
GK : Elvis and I met in 1948 at a music class in Humes High School. Co-incidentally, we were in the same classes at Humes. When he moved up from Tupelo to Memphis, luckily for me we were in the same classes. As we approached our senior year, I became class president so I had some political clout in the school and Elvis and I were buddies. We bonded in the eighth grade. I'll never forget the music teacher, Miss Marman. She said one time that next week, instead of studying music, we were going to have Christmas carols. So Elvis raised his hand and he asked if he could bring his guitar in and sing. There were a few laughs in the class because it just wasn't cool in 1948 to do that in front of anyone. So the next week, he got up and sang Old Shep and Cold, Cold Icy Fingers. At that moment, I was blown away because I'd never seen a kid get up in front of people and sing like that. Subconsciously, I knew there was something happening with this guy.
GK : He did stand out. He was like a velvet hammer, but he did it in a very nice, quiet way. Elvis would dress differently. He would wear those black pants with white stripes down the sides, or pink stripes. He would wear sport coats and turn the collar up. Nobody else dressed like that. He'd wear showbizzy-type stuff to school all the time. You'd see him occasionally with his guitar singing at lunchtime too. He'd sing at class functions, so yeah, he stood out. Some of the guys, some of the athletes especially, gave him a hard time about his hair and his clothes. He was very good-natured about it.
SJ : After you guys left high school, you went straight into radio didn't you?
GK : Yeah, I started hanging out around radio stations. I didn't have the money to go to radio school. So I enrolled in Memphis State University, I had a scholarship. I'd go down to the radio stations and just stare in the windows watching the guys do their stuff. I became what you'd call a gopher, butler, whatever. Eventually, I got my way in as a helper for Dewey Phillips. They wanted me to baby-sit Dewey because he was bizarre. I was like an intern, answering phones, letting people in to watch the show, and making sure he didn't tear up the radio station. He was pretty rough on the equipment. So that was my first introduction to big-time radio. And I learned to use the tape machines and practise my art because that's what I really wanted to do. I got into radio part-time, then full-time and it went from there. I remember Elvis called me one time; his second album had come out and he hadn't seen it. He asked me if I had a copy. I said yes, and he asked me to bring it out to the house. There are some pictures, and you'll see them in my forthcoming book, which should be out in about 18 months or so. A lot of times, Elvis would drop by the station and it would be just me, Dewey and Elvis partying. We'd goof around all night long because Memphis pretty much shut down around midnight. I was fired by one station because they said that rock'n'roll wouldn't last, and I was playing it a lot. So I was up at Dewey's house one time and I told Elvis this, and he said, you're not fired because I'm hiring you. I asked what was I going to do, and he said, you'll travel with me, be one of my travelling companions. We're going to Canada, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit. Then Hawaii. Then we're going to do the movie Jailhouse Rock. So you're coming to Hollywood with me. So I told my Mama, and she said yeah, go for it. I worked for Elvis for the year before he went into the army. After he got out, he asked me to come work for him again. I was back into radio then and I said I couldn't do both. So he said that whenever he went on tour, there was an open invitation for me to come with him. I could come with him on my vacations or weekends or whatever.
SJ : What was your relationship like with the other members of the Memphis Mafia?
GK : We had a pretty good relationship. Elvis wouldn't bring anyone aboard unless they fit in with the group. In the early years, we didn't have that many in the entourage. There was me, his cousin Gene and Cliff Gleaves. And a guy named Arthur Hooten from the neighbourhood. But that was pretty much it. After the army, he picked up about 10 or 12 guys.
SJ : How were the sixties and movie years for you and Elvis?
GK : About halfway through the movie years, some of the guys - myself included - asked the Colonel why he didn't get Elvis better scripts or at least better songs. And he said something to the effect that there were actors who had Oscars who could walk down Hollywood Boulevarde and not get arrested. Hollywood didn't care about Oscars and awards. All they care about is money. And to a degree, he was right. He said, we don't care what the scripts are like. If we have to read a script, that's another million dollars. My boy is getting a million dollars and fifty percent of the profits. Nobody else gets that. If the picture bombs, then we'll get the blame. The Colonel was exaggerating a little bit. We asked him about being artistic and the 'big picture' and he said all you needed to worry about in Hollywood was today, not tomorrow. But a superstar like Elvis could have overridden all that and become a great actor. So I think the Colonel was wrong in that regard.
SJ : So overall, do you think the Colonel was good for Elvis?
GK : I think 90% of what the Colonel did for Elvis was good, ten percent was wrong. The ten percent wrong was the money thing. The 90% was that he got Elvis tremendous deals with RCA, got him on the road, sell-out crowds. His promotion ideas were terrific. He did a real smart thing in that he didn't over-expose Elvis, I thought that was brilliant of the Colonel. But the artistic side of things is where I think the Colonel fell down. He couldn't hear a hit song. He started getting into the publishing side of things, which is why some of the songs weren't very good in the later years like they should have been. The Colonel offended Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, and ran them away from Elvis. Elvis asked them to write a good ballad one day, and by that night, they came up with it. They came to Elvis' hotel, the Beverly Wilshire and played it for us, and it was great. It was Don't, a really beautiful song. So Elvis was recording it soon after. The Colonel came in and asked where did it come from, and someone said from Jerry and Mike. The Colonel started yelling about procedure and all that, he thought people had gone behind his back. So Jerry and Mike said to hell with the Colonel. They did some songs after that, but they never forgave him.
SJ : What are your memories of Elvis' wedding? Was he forced into it, do you think?
GK : I was one of only 14 people at the wedding. He got married in Milton Prell's suite at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. During the whole thing, I'd never heard any mention that he was pushed into it at all. I think Elvis felt it was his time to get married.
SJ : And were you there at opening night in Vegas in '69?
GK : No, he asked me and many others to come and see him on the second night after the first-night jitters. Opening night was invitation-only for the media and a lot of the big stars. Elvis was probably the greatest entertainer I've ever seen on stage. He really put on a show. He was dynamic, he was electric, he had charisma. He related to the audience, you just couldn't keep your eyes off him. He always said you've got to give the audience a show, you just can't stand there like a statue. He got that from black entertainers like Jackie Wilson and James Brown.
SJ : Into the seventies, you were apart from the Memphis Mafia or were you still working with them sometimes?
GK : I never left the Mafia, but I was working in radio and TV. I was the hottest thing in Memphis media back then.
SJ : So did you go out on tour with Elvis at all then?
GK : Well, I had carte blanche to go to Graceland and I was there probably three or four times a week, so I never lost touch with Elvis. I'd occasionally go out on the road with him on the weekends or whatever.
SJ : As the seventies wore on, what were the first signs of physical decline? When did you first become concerned about Elvis' health?
GK : Good question. I never got worried until after he went in and out of hospital two or three times. The first time he went in, he came out okay. There's some stuff about the hospital I can't tell you about right now, it will be in my book. But for him to pass away when he did, it was quite a shock.
SJ : Where were you when you heard that Elvis had died?
GK : I got a call from WHBQ radio station. Someone said that it came over the wires that Elvis had passed away. I said, don't believe it, we've heard that before. But it seemed serious, because all these other radio stations started calling me for a comment. So I finally called Graceland, and Vernon's girlfriend Sandy answered. I asked if it was true, and she said, yeah, you need to get out here real soon. I felt like someone had just stabbed me with a red-hot knife. So I got in my car and I drove real fast to Graceland. I went into the den, and Mr Presley grabbed me. He was crying uncontrollably. He said, "George, we've lost him. I've lost my son." I'll never forget it. Everyone hugged each other, we were all crying, praying for some miracle. After about an hour, Dr. Nick walked in and he confirmed it.
SJ : The funeral a couple of days later, you were one of the pallbearers. Can you describe what the service itself was like?
GK : By the time of the burial, reality had set in but we still didn't want to believe it. The funeral itself took place at Graceland in the living room. There may have been 30 people in that room. Ann-Margret was there, George Hamilton. And of course Priscilla, Ginger Alden and Linda Thompson. It was a very serious, quiet, emotional-type funeral. So we eventually made our way to the cemetery. I was in limousine number 6 with Charlie Hodge and Alan Fortas. As we were driving along, the people were four or five deep in the streets for miles and miles. We were crying, laughing. We were trying to psych ourselves up not to get uncontrollable. We go to the mausoleum, and the preacher did a 15-minute service and then we carried the casket in. I was the last guy to touch it when it went in. I remember I kissed it. So they closed it up, and you just felt strange and weak. It was over. There was all kinds of emotions involved. A while later, some kids were caught trying to steal the casket. That really upset everybody, especially Elvis' father. So Elvis was later moved to Graceland along with his mother. Vernon got special permission to do it.
SJ : You're writing a book. What can you tell us about that?
GK : The book is called Elvis, My Best Man. He was best man at my wedding. That's the working title. It will be from day one, like I told you about that first meeting in 1948 until today. There are a lot of things that have happened since Elvis passed away that I'm involved in. It will have inside stories that people don't know and pictures people have never seen. You'll hear the whole, true story. I waited because there were so many books and stories that came out about Elvis after he died and into the eighties and I just didn't want to get caught up in that circus.
SJ : Finally, George, any message to the Australian fans who'll be reading this?
GK : My association with the Australian fans has been awesome. They've continued to support him with tremendous energy. Australia was one of the first countries to be right there when he died and to carry on the legacy. Australia did that TV special from Graceland back when it was about to open. Don Lane was the host I think. The boss of the TV channel involved was a huge Elvis fan and really pushed for it.
SJ : Yeah, that was Kerry Packer. He only passed away just after Christmas last year.
GK : Oh, I don't know that. That was a great special, really well done.
SJ : George Klein, thank you for your time.
GK : My pleasure Scott, thank you.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.

Swansea have announced that Chico Flores has signed a new contract with the club that will keep him at the Liberty Stadium until June 2016.
The 26-year-old has been a regular at the heart of the Swans defence after making a £2million summer move from Genoa. The Spaniard's previous deal was until 2015, but the club were keen to tie down the former Real Mallorca man for a further year.
"I'm very happy," the centre-half told his club's official website.
"Everything has gone better than I ever expected considering I only arrived in Wales in the summer. I have found it easier to settle here than when I moved from Spain to Italy.
"The language issue can still be difficult at times, but I'm getting there. My English is improving all the time and I have good communication on the pitch alongside Ash (Ashley Williams), who can also speak a bit of Spanish.
"In my debut season the club has won its first major trophy and is safe again for another year in the Premier League.
"It's been a fantastic experience and a massive achievement for the club, both individually and collectively.
"I had no hesitation in signing a new contract for a number of reasons, but mainly because I can only see the team and the club growing.
"We play good football, which I think suits me, and the warmth of the fans towards me has been unbelievable. To hear them singing my name is amazing; phenomenal. I love them all.
"If you put all that together, everything is perfect, and I hope to stay at Swansea for a long, long time."

#3 from 2016: Delhi's odd-even plan as a public policy experiment
Late last year, Delhi's Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, announced a measure to tackle the severe air pollution crisis in the city. The proposal was to implement an odd-even plan for private cars on Delhi roads: cars with odd numbered registration plates would be allowed to ply on odd dates and those with even numbered registration plates allowed on the other days. There was an exemption list that included single women (or with children), public vehicles, medical emergencies, etc. This was to be piloted for a period of fifteen days, starting on 1 st January 2016.
For a detailed account of how the city dealt with this rule, see here . An excerpt:
During the odd-even period, the use of cars fells by 30 per cent while those car-pooling went up by a whopping 387.7 per cent, indicating the success of the government's push towards that option. Delhiites using private auto-rickshaws went up by 156.3 per cent compared to the period before odd-even, while Metro use went up by 58.4 per cent.
On average, the respondents' took 12 minutes less to commute from home to work during the odd-even period. Car and bus users reached their workplaces 13 and 14 minutes faster during the 15-day period


text: The Sea and Cake are a post-rock supergroup of sorts, comprised of luminaries from the Chicago independent scene. The band is led by singer/guitarist Sam Prekop, who, along with bassist Eric Claridge, was an alumnus of the frequently brilliant Shrimp Boat. After that group's dissolution, Prekop and Claridge were offered the opportunity to embark on a new project and hastily recruited ex-Coctails guitarist Archer Prewitt and Tortoise drummer John McEntire before entering the studio. Originally intended as a one-off project, the musicians decided to continue performing together, and after selecting the name the Sea and Cake -- derived from McEntire's misinterpretation of the Gastr del Sol song "The C in Cake" -- they issued their eponymous 1994 debut, an enigmatic collection highlighting Prekop's stream-of-consciousness wordplay and singular fusion of pop, jazz, blue-eyed soul, and Krautrock styles. In 1995, the group returned with two more LPs, the intricate Nassau and the shimmering The Biz. After the release of The Fawn in 1997, the band took a break while both Prewitt and Prekop released solo albums. Finally, in 2000, the Sea and Cake released their fifth album, Oui, followed three years later by the delivery of their most elegant album yet, One Bedroom. By this point, the group's repertoire had swelled to include African-inspired riffs, Brazilian influences, and guitar-based indie pop, and they hit a well spring of creativity as the decade wound to a close. Everybody and Car Alarm were released in quick succession, with Everybody appearing in 2007 and Car Alarm arriving in 2008. An EP, The Moonlight Butterfly, followed in 2011, as did a round of recording sessions for the band's tenth studio album. The results, Runner, appeared in September 2012. The next few years would mark the biggest recording gap in the band's history, but in 2018 they eventually returned with Any Day. The ten-track collection concluded a six-year break since their previous effort, and featured flute and clarinet parts from Brian Wilson collaborator Paul Von Mertens. In advance of the album's release, the Sea and Cake shared its title track. ~ Jason Ankeny

Lesson Plan
American Folklore: A Jigsaw Character Study
|3 – 6
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Six 50-minute Sessions
|Lesson Author
Magalia, California
Collaborative groups will read a variety of American tall tales, then report elements of their story to the whole class. Students add story information to a collaborative, whole-class character study matrix that summarizes all the stories. In a writing activity, students compare two characters of their choice. Support for English Language Learners (ELLs) is embedded in the guided collaborative process, while the content of the stories adds to all students' knowledge of American culture and history. The stories used in the lesson include well known and lesser-known diverse characters. The lesson process is applicable to any set of related texts.
Jigsaw Group Discussion Worksheet: Students use this worksheet within their groups to plan and understand their roles.
Character Study Matrix Sample: This matrix is used as a sample to be reproduced for whole-class discussion and study.
Through her study of traditional folk tales, Robin Mello found that "...the telling of traditional texts in educational environments enriches the linguistic life of students. This enrichment, in turn, can influence classroom discussion and the development of language skills. Stories can also furnish students with a broader cultural lens with which to explore the world. Therefore, educators are encouraged to use stories as models for teaching literacy skills, encouraging critical thinking and reflection, as well as presenting multicultural and equitable perspectives."
In this collaborative group lesson, a modified jigsaw technique is used in a literature lesson in which students compare characters and plot points of folk tales.

Post subject: fast food packaging
Irrespective of your intellects for requiring to recognize, the data in this content ought aid you pilot your path through the menus of common eating place. Lets begin with fatness.
On that point is numerous dissimilar forms of dietary fats. Dishes carrying meat, poultry and fish bequeath carry a compounding of concentrated, dull and polyunsaturated fats, on with cholesterol.
Shrimp holds a few of the greatest cholesterol degrees and is not an origin of the omega-3 fatty acids found out in several cases of fish and seafood. But then, they are comparatively poor in overall fat, as long as it is not breaded and deep-fried.
Veggie fats or oils do not carry cholesterol. All the same, a few of it are really eminent in omega-6 fatty acids. Merely, omega-3s and 6s are important to the individual dieting. In fact, they are the entirely fats that must be lay out in our dieting. We could do without all the others. Merely, if we eat too many 6s and not decent 3s, it induces chronic inflammation, which is a reason of cellular aging.
The issued fast food nutrition facts do not crack-up the fat substance of a menu item altogether. Makers are asked to name the absolute, the supersaturated and the dull or polyunsaturated fats, merely they are not asked to name the omega-3 or omega-6 subject.
New alterations in the law let did it compulsory for makers to list the subject of trans-fatty acids. Trans fatty acid is monstrous and the severest form in conditions of heart wellness.
The fast food nutrition facts are however deceptive. Trans-fats are said to be catalogued, but only when a single serving of the particular bears more than a gm. In the food market, it is doable to see the label of components for partly hydrogenated oils. That is not doable in an eating place.
Fats are entirely split of the trouble. Simple saccharides are different. They are stomached too speedily. They make spikes in blood sugar and insulin points, placing into execute a chain of effects that directs to the yield of dangerous molecules named Advanced Glycation End-products or AGEs.
You could have listened of AGEs, as they arrived at the news show lately. They have been described as a stimulate of wrinkles.
The issued fast food nutrition facts bequeath not say you whether or not you are consuming bare carbohydrates or partly hydrogenated oils. On that point is excessively numerous defective nutrients to let in them completely here, merely if you apply the rules of thumb beneath, you ought acquire a comparatively sound repast.
Keep off the buns and breads. They are mere sugars.
Load up on complete forms of vegetables, exclude white potatoes. White potatoes are mere carbs, too. Select fish or chicken breast that has the cost burned, not deep-fried or breaded.
Pick out a low kilo calorie dressing, rather one brought in with olive oil and acetum.
Recall that sliced American cheese adds up fatness, saltiness and kilo calories, merely not many flavor.
There are many fast food nutrition facts on world wide web, if you require further points. Everybody involves to dine out occasionally. We barely require to arrive at healthier options.

Our snake-necked turtle undergoing a CT scan. Photo courtesy of Veterinary Imaging of the Chesapeake. The Animal Health team was initially alerted after exhibit staff observed the turtle basking more frequently. Increased basking, also known as environmental hyperthermia, is a potential indicator of either illness or egg laying. After radiographs confirmed that the turtle had no eggs, we decided to do a CT and MRI to diagnose what was causing the turtle to exhibit this abnormal behavior. X-rays taken of the snake-necked turtle, courtesy of Veterinary Imaging of the Chesapeake. Partnerships with organizations like Veterinary Imaging of the Chesapeake grant our team much-need access to the kinds of medical scanners that the Aquarium doesn't have on-site. We're happy to report that both scans came back normal and the turtle did later develop eggs. She was moved behind-the-scenes for close observation, has laid two eggs so far and continues to do very well.
