My husband and I recently went to a "marriage conference" attended by (and highly recommended by) some of our friends. One would think that a relationship-focused conference would be something that most men would avoid at all costs, equating it to sitting for seven straight hours in a women's clothing store while their wife tries on outfit after outfit, asking "do I look fat in this?"
Yet the atmosphere at this event, the Love & Respect Live Conference, was something the likes of which I've never experienced. As the primary speaker, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, spoke, the men in the audience laughed out loud, nodded their heads and visibly appeared moved. According to my husband, Eggerichs was expressing concepts that uncannily described what matters most to men in a relationship. The thing is - men being men - most don't actually know what they most deeply need from a woman (other than the obvious!) and would not be able to describe or articulate it.

So, you're a beginner? Perfect. A lot of my clients were once, too. Today they invent their own recipes, such as my Pita Pizza and Sweet Potato Fries... some of the recipes you'll find in my 10 Day Shred and 3D-Xcelerated packages. Rest assured, I am not here to turn you into the next Martha or Wolfgang. But when it comes to weight loss, the old sayings "you are what you eat" and "six packs start in the kitchen" could not be more true. Remember: when you cook your own food, you know what goes inside your body and you are in control of how much and when. If you really want to do your body good, a little investment in the kitchen can go a long way. How long? Long enough to extend your expiration date.
I found that cooking can actually become a fun hobby, and these tips can turn your cooking anxiety into cooking fantasies. The best part is that with this tips you don't have to spend hours in the kitchen. In fact, in less than 60 minutes you could probably prepare your lunch, dinner, and snacks for the next 3 days! Just take a deep breath, roll up your sleeves, get your favorite music going, and follow these tips, which will save you time, money, and unnecessary frustration.
1) Read the recipe from beginning to end. Get all of the ingredients and kitchen tools out and ready to go. It will save you precious time, and eliminate defeat.
2) No fancy equipment required! Cooking is easier when you have the right tools, but most recipes require is a pot, a non-stick frying pan, a baking sheet, a good knife, a few measuring spoons, and a simple blender or mixer.
3) Keep your kitchen clean and organized. Nobody likes a messy, dirty work area.
4) Music will automatically put you in a better mood, especially if you're someone who gets bored being in the kitchen.
5) You don't have to have all of the ingredients! For most recipes, if you have 3 out of the 5 spices listed, go ahead and try it anyway. Don't have all the vegetables that listed in the recipe? Just use what you have (especially for soups, stews, and casseroles). Don't be afraid to experiment. Cooking is an excellent opportunity to be creative!
6) Buy a loaded spice rack. They fit perfectly anywhere in your kitchen, and will give you an instant access to all the herbs and spices you need to flavor your food.
7) The perfect hard boiled egg is easy! Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp. salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow eggs to cook for 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat, leave covered, and let eggs rest for a few minutes.
Tip: Running them under cold water makes them easier to peel.
8) If you want leftovers, double the recipe and refrigerate or freeze! Just one more simple way to make your life easier.
9) If you have a barbecue, grill more! Chicken, meat, fish and even vegetables. It changes the flavor of the food for the better, and it's a great way to get the family involved.
10) Speaking of family, make it a point to eat dinner together at least once a week. It will bring the family together to discuss, create memories, and remind you what's really important in life. It's also a great way to make sure your kids are eating healthy and getting the nutrients they need.
11) Not all olive oil is created equal. I recommend using best quality extra virgin olive oil that is cold pressed, unfiltered, and packaged in a dark glass bottle that protects it from the damaging effects of light. Store the oil away from both heat and light.
12) Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before using them, so they won't burn. If you prefer to use metal skewers, use square or twisted skewers, because they hold the food better than round skewers.
13) Use real, quality ingredients. There is no substitute for real food. Not only does real food taste better, it will fill you up, which will cause you to eat less.
14) When measuring honey, coat the measuring spoon or cup with nonstick cooking spray before adding the honey. This way, the honey will slide right out!
15) Have a pizza night! Use a whole wheat pita or whole wheat Lavash bread for the crust, add low sugar tomato or marinara, low fat cheeses, and plenty of vegetables as toppings. Pair it with a side of mixed greens and balsamic for a complete meal and dig in!
16) Start by cooking things you already know you love to eat. You'll be more motivated to cook, and way more invested in the outcome.
17) Rose water is an amazing liquid to add to your oatmeal, shakes, tea, and distilled water. Just as little as 1 teaspoon goes a long way, and adds fabulous flavor and aroma. You can purchase it at any Middle Eastern supermarket.
18) A Crock-Pot could be your best kitchen investment, because you can cook just about anything in it. From whole chickens, to soups and stews, desserts, snacks, and more!
19) Invite your friends and family over to enjoy your food. Food is a blessing, and sharing it with others is double the blessing!
20) Microwave your lemons for 15 seconds. This will double the juice when you're squeezing it. You can also microwave a garlic clove for 15 seconds to help slip the skin off.
21) Leftover wine? No problem! Freeze it into ice cubes for future use in sauces and casseroles.
22) If you don't like the strong flavor of garlic in your food, saute it first.
23) The best way to store fresh celery is to wrap it in aluminum foil and refrigerate it.
24) When mincing garlic, sprinkle a little salt over it so that the pieces won't stick to your knife or cutting board.
25) Don't beat yourself up if your dish doesn't come out right the first time. Cooking is a very flexible art, and chances are you'll know exactly what went wrong. Keep at it, and before you know it you'll be writing your very own cookbook!

If you are a living breathing female human being you've tried at least one fad diet in your life. And chances are you've tried dozens. There's no shame in starting a diet! The fact that you want to get in shape and get healthy is awesome. The problem lies with the very definition of dieting. Diets have a tendency to make ridiculous claims while expecting you to follow through with an impossible way of eating. By eliminating entire food groups from your diet, and severely slashing calories, you will surely lose weight... but how long are you going to keep eating like that? Not long! After just a week or two your body will cave from the physical and emotional stress, and once you resume your "normal" way of eating all the weight will come right back. Stop dieting already!
Nobody can live on tofu and egg whites for the rest of their life. Dieting is stressful and incredibly difficult. It wreaks havoc on your metabolism and your mental and emotional health suffers. Having to think about and calculate every single calorie or every gram of fat or carb will literally drive you insane. And be honest: the more you're told you can't have something, the more you want it.
You may feel like you're doing everything right, but it's exhausting. You constantly think about all of the foods you can never have again, you spend three hours at the gym every day, you count calories, you measure all of your food, you eat only salad, and you weigh yourself every hour. Before you know it, your entire life is consumed by your diet.
There are cleanses, liquid diets, juices, sugar-free, carb-free, meat-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, low-calorie. There's Paleo, Atkins, Cabbage Soup, pills, and fasting. And they all promise instant results. But with dieting there is no one-size fits all. Everyone has different eating habits and taste buds. The diet that helped your cousin lose 20 pounds may not work for you.
We all hate it, but it's easy to get wrapped up in a yo-yo way of eating. Somehow we got it stuck in our heads that this is the only way to lose weight. The truth is, the more you diet, the more you screw up your body's natural fat-burning abilities. It's a gigantic waste of time, and you'll only end up fatter in the end.
Let me know if this post resonated with you and if you have any questions or tips I haven't already covered!

I get a lot of health and fitness questions from friends, clients, and fellow parents. When it comes to losing weight, it's amazing how much people truly don't know, and we're constantly bombarded with "information" - most of it not true - that can be misleading and confusing. E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com or leave a comment below this blog, and I'll answer your health and fitness questions here, for everyone to see!
Answer: I know what you're thinking. "If I skip a meal before hitting the gym, I'll lose more weight because there are less calories in my belly to burn." Well, this isn't necessarily true. You won't burn any more fat or calories skipping a meal before a workout. The only time I would ever tell you not to eat before a workout is if you are doing cardio in the morning before breakfast. Otherwise, always eat on a normal, frequent schedule; three small meals and two snacks throughout the day eating once every two and a half to three hours.
But you will be able to exercise harder, faster and you'll get so much more out of your workout if your body is well-fueled. Skipping a meal or snack before hitting the gym can lower your endurance and put you at greater risk of injury. Plus, exercising on an empty stomach increases the production of the stress hormone Cortisol, which leads to the breakdown of muscle tissue and packs on the belly fat. And that's the exact opposite of what you want after busting your butt at the gym. Eating less and exercising more is detrimental to your weight loss goals. Having a quality snack before your workout - if it's time to do so - is a good idea. Shoot for a 150-200 calorie mix of carbs and protein, like a peach and low-fat string cheese, hummus and baby carrots, or an apple and PB or AB.
Love and Exercise,

We all have cravings for sweets now and then. Sugar cravings are typically caused by foods you are already eating, which may cause blood sugar to drop, giving you a false sense of hunger and stealing your energy. Thankfully, this is a battle you can win. Here are 5 foods that effectively beat sugar cravings. Try including some of these foods in your diet each day to satisfy, energize and sustain you, and you can kiss the vending machine goodbye.
1. Avocados
Avocados are a wonderful food to conquer sugar cravings because they contain B Vitamins including Folate which lowers stress, 18 essential amino acids for a great source of protein, healthy fats, and Vitamin E. They are also an excellent source of protein. Avocados can be added to just about anything from salads, to smoothies, to omelettes, or used as a dip in guacamole.
2. Coconut oil
Coconut oil has been called "Nature's Miracle Oil", because this healthy food lowers insulin levels and keeps hunger in check without raising cholesterol. Coconut oil has also been touted as a weight loss aid, probably due to the fact that it turns off your sweet tooth. It provides beneficial fats to your liver, where fats are used for fuel, not for storage. Add it to smoothies, or use it to cook with. Coconut oil has an incredibly high smoke point which means the fat stays intact throughout the cooking process so they aren't damaging to the body, unlike other vegetable oils.
3. Flax seeds
Flax seeds alone don't cause weight loss, but they are a tool you can use to help reach your weight-loss goal. Their benefits come from the high fiber content and wealth of omega-3 fatty acids. Just two tbsp. of flax seeds contain almost 25 percent of your daily recommended fiber. Foods high in fiber take longer to digest and make you feel full faster and for a longer period of time, which also helps you consume fewer calories and curb unnecessary sugar cravings.
4. Yams
Yams are an excellent source of Vitamin B6 and Potassium, Vitamin C, and fiber, and at just 157 calories a cup, yams can be the perfect food for filling up and keeping cravings at bay. In addition, the natural fiber in yams slows down the rate at which your body processes sugar, keeping you from being hungry between meals. Yams can also be prepared in a wide variety of dishes that are a delicious way to add this delicious vegetable to your diet.
5. Eggs
Eggs have been proven to be one of the top foods to beat sugar cravings and lower hunger levels throughout the day. Eggs are an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, B Vitamins, Omega 3 fatty acids, and even small amounts of iron, which fill you up and power you throughout the day. They have also been proven to lower insulin levels and a hormone in our bodies known as Ghrelin, which stops hunger and prevents sugar cravings. Try having an egg at breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a snack. Here's a tip for the week: hard boil a dozen eggs on Sunday and store them in the fridge through the week to grab and go.

We've all heard of the indulgent "death by chocolate", but what's really dangerous is salt. Research from the Harvard School of Public Health has found that one in 10 deaths in this country can be attributed to high levels of sodium. Sugar has been in the crosshairs of every organization trying to reverse obesity, but the author of this recent study says that your salt shaker will do way more harm than your sugar bowl. That may be because sodium is in almost every food that we eat: it is naturally occurring in everything from plants to meat, and it's also added in abundance to every processed, packaged, and boxed food on store shelves.
Our bodies do need some sodium. Sodium helps control hydration, manages heart rhythms and plays a role in muscle contraction. But we don't need much. The Institute of Medicine, which sets the Recommended Daily Allowance for vitamins and minerals, recommends that we cap sodium at 2,300 milligrams (mg) a day. Make that 1,500 if you're over age 51, are African American or have kidney disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Our sodium needs are easily met through natural sources: a cup of raw broccoli has 29 mg of sodium, a cup of long grain brown rice has 10 mg, and a serving of Alaskan salmon has 69 mg.
1. No more fast food. Start taking your own lunch to work. Burgers, fries, and even salad dressings in fast food restaurants are infused with more sodium than we need in an entire day. A Quarter Pounder with Cheese and large fries at McDonald's gives you 1,320 milligrams of sodium. Gross!
2. Find different flavors. Find ways to add flavor to your food without adding salt. Cook rice or quinoa in low-sodium vegetable broth. Add fresh or dried herbs to poultry and seafood. Grill meats and vegetables with peppers, onions, and garlic. The options are endless and so is the taste!
3. Read the labels. In the American diet, bread and cheese are the main sources of salt. Condiments, soups, crackers, cheese, and anything else you're buying in a box, bag, or bottle at the grocery store is also going to be high in sodium. Buy reduced or low-sodium options.
4. Bite, then salt. Your instant reaction shouldn't be to cover your meal in salt before you've even taken a bite; it probably doesn't even need it. At a restaurant, it's safe to assume it's been well-salted already. When eating at home, well-cooked and flavorful food doesn't even need salt.
5. De-salt your canned goods. Sodium is a preservative, so you're guaranteed to find a lot of it in canned goods. Reduce some of that by rinsing your canned foods before preparing. Dump beans, corn, or peas into a colander and run water over it to wash away some of the salt.
6. Use fresh ingredients instead of processed. You'll save umpteen milligrams of sodium by making your own sauces and soups, and simmering dried beans until soft (rather than opening a can). Yes, it's a time commitment, but if you're serious about salt reduction (and you should be!) it is time well spent. Make these staples more convenient by cooking them in big batches, and freezing in single-serving portions for later use.
7. Get creative. Acidic flavorings like lemon or lime juice and vinegar can help bring out a food's inherent savoriness, which in turn helps you reduce or even eliminate salt. Or, try a sprinkle of fresh grated lemon zest, chopped fresh or dried herbs, garlic or shallots; while not always a perfect replacement for salt, they can help ease the transition to lower-salt cooking by waking up other flavors. Get creative with seasoning blends, found in any spice aisle; just make sure they're labeled "salt-free." I like lemon pepper, poultry seasoning and salt-free herb blends like Mrs. Dash. (I don't recommend potassium-chloride-based salt substitutes, which taste "off" to our palates.)
Use measuring spoons when adding salt to be sure you're not overdoing it. Even if a recipe calls for a "pinch" or to "salt to taste," measure what you are adding, using a small amount (say, 1/8 teaspoon) at a time and be sure to taste as you go.

Believe the hype! Fast ways to lose weight do exist! In fact, you might be surprised at how many quick, effective ways to lose weight quickly there actually are. All you need to do is read and implement:
1. Prepare Your Own Meals
Preparing your own meals is the #1 step in fast and successful weight loss. This way you can control your portions, that are usually two to three times larger in restaurants. Start simple by making one meal a day. (ie: breakfast) A nutritious yet low-calorie breakfast, like oatmeal or eggs with yogurt or fresh fruit on the side.
2. Eat Normal Serving Sizes
It's pretty important to know how much food a normal size serving is. One serving of meat or fish should be about the size of the inside of your palm. A serving of carbs should be the size of your fist. Open up both hands and your serving of veggies should fit right in there, and any healthy fats should be about the size of the top of your thumb. More importantly, if you feel full do not make yourself eat up everything you have on your plate. Your body knows when it's the right time to stop.
3. Eat More Fiber
Fiber is absolutely essential for healthy weight loss! Your digestive system will run more smoothly, your body will be able to naturally detox, your metabolism will go up, and you will feel healthier overall. Make oatmeal your daily breakfast, and have a few vegetable salads during the day to get all the fiber you need, and you will be amazed at how fast those pounds start falling off!
4. DO NOT Skimp on Protein
It's important to have a balanced diet when trying to lose weight FAST. Protein helps build muscle, and muscle burns fat! That's why you need to make sure that you consume an adequate amount of protein with each meal. Eggs, white meat, and fish are always the best natural sources of protein. But if you are vegetarian, you might enjoy tofu, beans, asparagus, and quinoa. Protein helps you feel fuller, and repairs your muscles after workouts. As a bonus, it contributes to the beauty of your skin, nails, and hair.
5. Never Starve Yourself
This is a common mistake when trying to find a way to lose weight. I've been there, and from my personal experience I can tell you that skipping meals in order to lose weight DOES NOT WORK. First of all it's distracting, as you can not stop thinking about food. Second of all, the few pounds I managed to lose came back in abundance the week I started eating normally again. The thing is, starving yourself immediately sends your body into "starvation mode" which basically means the body is trying to reserve the very same fat that we are trying to burn off. And don't forget what a toll it takes on your overall health and your metabolism… Eek!
6. EAT 3 Small Meals and 2 Snacks Rather Than 3 Big Meals
The more often you eat, the less you eat and the less hungry you feel before each meal, which inevitably leads you to consuming less overall. Just make sure the 2 snacks you have in-between meals are actually healthy. Boiled eggs, a handful of almonds, an apple, a piece of string cheese, a Lara bar, or a piece of chicken breast will be the perfect choice.
7. Schedule Your Snacks
We've already covered the reasons why eating 5 times a day is an absolute must for all of us who want to lose weight fast and keep it off. What we also need to do is to make sure we snack on a schedule too! To make it easier to remember when to have your snacks, schedule them 3 hours after breakfast and before lunch, and 3 hours after lunch, which would also be about 3 hours before dinner. Eat at the same time every day and your body will know exactly when to expect its next meal. That translates to no unnecessary cravings, emotional eating, and off-schedule snacking, which are just a few things that prevent us from taking the weight off fast!
8. Don't Bring the Enemy Home (AKA: Junk Food)
This is also one of the most effective ways to lose weight, ladies. Don't buy junk food and don't bring it home! It's that easy! You won't eat what you don't have around. When I start craving french fries, for example, I simply microwave a nice big yam and sprinkle it with a little cinnamon (which is touted as a miracle spice, because it increases your metabolism). And for all the rest, make sure you do your shopping after a nice big healthy meal so you don't reach for impulse items.

Being overweight is not a problem. It is a decision. One good or bad decision can have a dramatic ripple effect on the rest of your life. Anything that has the power to change our mental discipline can, and will, eventually have an effect on the decisions we make. Losing a loved one, a painful break-up, divorce, being laid off, having children, infidelity, big lifestyle changes, or trauma can derail a person's mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and can cause him or her to make decisions that have powerful consequences.
A decision leads to action, which leads to the reality you experience, good or bad, fat or skinny. If your reality is flower-print mumus, type 2 diabetes, and a love affair with the pizza delivery guy, chances are, it's time to make a different decision.
Winston Churchill said, "The Americans will always do the right thing… after they've exhausted all the alternatives." Well… haven't you? You've tried Atkins, gone on the latest celebrity detox, counted calories and carbs and "points", or gone the gym for four hours a day, every day for six months. That's dedication! But none of it worked. Why not? The list is long, if you've got time. It costs a lot of money, takes a lot of time and energy, it's boring and unhealthy, you'll feel incredibly deprived, it feels like a second job, it's just not sustainable, and all you've ever lost is your sanity.
Common sense would support the idea that if you eat less food, you'll lose more weight, or that if you exercise more you will burn more calories and lose more fat. But our bodies don't work this way, and neither do our brains. At least not in the long term. Our brains are driven by pain and pleasure. We want to avoid pain, and we want to experience pleasure, and we seek it out automatically and subconsciously.
When we don't get adequate protein, dopamine levels drop significantly and we experience a mental fog. Many people believe that if they severely reduce their carbohydrate intake or remove them altogether, their body fat will be broken down when they exercise. Instead they are lowering their capacity to burn fat, and ultimately destroying their metabolism. The body will break down muscle to try and form carbohydrates, which raises stress hormone levels and causes carb cravings.
My advice to you is to make a new decision and end the struggle by feeding your body what it wants: a combination of lean protein, healthy fat, and complex high-fiber carbohydrates. For more tips, information, and weight loss products visit www.ExpressHomeTrainer.com.

Santini Kines Jacket
- Item: SAN0161 Actual Weight:"Actual Weight" means we weighed this item ourselves. 108 g
Sale $119.96
Unless you're part of the unfortunate few, like ourselves, that spend half of the year below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, a jacket for subfreezing conditions will melt you on your first climb. In a more temperate climate, the piece that you turned to for protection will soon become your predator. That's why its important to plan accordingly for your conditions. So, if your idea of cold is the low 50s, the Santini Kines Jacket is for you. With a wind-resistant design, a precise, jersey-like fit, and Italian, handmade construction, the Kines jacket blends Santini's rich cycling heritage with contemporary technology.
To make the Kines jacket a suitable protector from the elements, Santini constructed it from the wind-resistant, TK fabric. This material has a great deal of stretch, and it's also lightweight, breathable, and highly conforming to the body. Weighing in closer to a jersey than outerwear, the Kines is designed on more of the airy end of the spectrum, with Santini recommending it for temperatures varying from the low 50s to around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. This heat tolerance is supported by a few key features. Of course, at the front of the jacket, there's a full-length zipper that's indispensable for dumping heat on-the-fly. Additionally, this zipper has been backed with an internal draft flap to avoid cool air from infiltrating the jacket. And at the side panels and undercarriage of the sleeves, Santini incorporated open-mesh inserts that not only assist in the breathing and ventilation of the jacket, but they also support the precise, anatomic fit of the Kines.
After all, Santini knows that expensive, technical fabrics are moot when a jacket's fit is off. And in our opinion, fit is where Santini truly breaks off onto its own course. Knowing that the Kines isn't meant for lounging, Santini designed the cut to accommodate your body in the cycling position. What does this mean? Simple. The shape of everything from the seams to the hems are contoured for the cycling-specific position of reaching from the saddle to the bars. And with its stretchable, polyester composition, you'll also experience the fabric conforming to your body, specifically. This system eliminates any bunching or chafing throughout movement.
For storage of your ride essentials, Santini included a large rear cargo pocket. And within this pocket is a handy, miniature pouch that the entire jacket is designed to fold and stow into. This means that the Kines can be fully stowed in your jersey pocket, discreetly. To increase your visibility to motorists on the road, reflective accents have been incorporated throughout the jacket.
The Santini Kines Jacket is available in six sizes from Small to XXX-Large and in the colors Black and White.

Growing trend: Community gardens take root in Lake County (with video)
Although the idea of community gardens has been around for years, the concept is taking on a new life this summer. Two of the new community gardens — in Mentor and Concord Township — were made possible by a Kaiser Permanente grant awarded by the Lake County General Health District.
Plots in gardens that community members can call their own during the growing season also have expanded to churches and even to Lubrizol's Painesville factory lands.
Perhaps it's the deer that spoil things most for backyard gardeners in Mentor, or maybe it's that city's growing number of condominium dwellers, but the 34 plots the city established as a community garden at its Wildwood Cultural Center were snapped up almost as soon as they were announced.
Jerry Hammerhofer, 74, said the community garden concept reminds him of the Victory Gardens planted when he was a boy during World War II to relieve the wartime pressure on the public food supply.
Only Mentor residents can sign up for garden plots, and the $55 charge is among the most expensive in the area.
"But $20 of that is refundable at the end of the season if the plot is maintained and cleaned up in the fall," Wildwood spokeswoman Jill Korsok said.
The availability of organic plots and water for each garden were additional attractions for the Wildwood gardens, she said. But the 10-foot-high deer fence was something many would-be gardeners mentioned as their reason for being there.
"I was one of the first people to sign up for a plot at Wildwood," said Hammerhofer, proud gardener at Plot 5 in the newly established Mentor Community Gardens. "I live near Plains and Hopkins where we have a lot of deer, so the fact that the Wildwood gardens are fenced was a big plus to me."
But when he went to plant his garden, he discovered that instead of the sandy, easy-to-till soil near his home, the soil for the Wildwood gardens off Little Mountain Road is rocky and full of clay. Continued...
"I conditioned the soil and added enough material to make it work," he said. "I have one of the organic plots and I am already harvesting radishes and lots of kale and lettuce."
Kathie Frisby lives in a condominium complex and grows lettuce and tomatoes in containers on her outdoor deck. She wanted to expand her gardening effort this year, so she is sharing a plot in the Mentor gardens with a neighbor, who is growing flowers.
"I'm just growing things I like to eat," Frisby said. "If Kent (Frisby's husband) wants cucumbers, I'll buy them. I don't like cucumbers, so I'm not growing them."
Hammerhofer said he didn't bother with corn this year because it takes up a lot of room and its size can put a neighbor's plot in shadow during the important weeks of late season growing.
That same "good neighbor" issue evolved into one of the rules for the Concord Township Community Garden, which suggests that tall crops should be planted on the south end of the plot, where they will have the least impact on neighboring gardeners.
That garden, new this year, began with the township augmenting the heavy clay soil with topsoil and mulch to make it easier for growers to work the soil.
"We have 32 plots and have just opened up six of them to the general public," Concord garden spokeswoman Linda Legg said. Only Lake County residents can apply for plots in that garden, off Route 608 near the parking area for the Greenway Trail.
"Gardens cost $20 for a 10-by-20-foot plot and $30 for one that's 20 by 20 feet," she said.
Parsons Gardens, operated by Lake Metroparks at 37840 Erie Road in Willoughby, is perhaps the area's longest running community garden.
Nancy Martin, manager of visitor services, said the park system acquired the land in 1967, and it's been operated as a community garden since the early 1980s. Continued...
"It could actually be the oldest community garden in the state," she said.
"Our plots are each 20 by 30 (feet) and we generally have about 80 of them available," she said. "Many are planted by the same people year after year, since they get first choice of plots each year."
She said a handful of garden plots are still available at Parsons Gardens.
Those plots rent for $25 and only to Lake County residents. Water is included, but gardeners must provide their own hoses. And if they want a fence to keep out deer and other garden pests, they must construct it themselves.
"We till the land in early spring and again at the end of the season," Martin said. "We provide mulch and manure for the gardens in the spring and give gardeners a deadline for sometime in October to have their plots cleaned up."
Lubrizol Corp. employees tend more than an acre of gardens established this year at the company's Painesville factory.
"This is a company that wants to give back to the community," explained Mary Jane Sanders, community specialist at Lubrizol. The garden, dedicated to providing fresh produce to Project Hope and the Food Force food bank in Painesville, was planned with help and hands-on instruction from the Master Gardeners at Ohio State University Extension in Painesville.
"We're a specialty chemical company, and we don't know much about gardening," she said. "So the Master Gardeners came in and helped us every step of the way. We even started 100 tomato plants indoors from seed last March."
The garden is tended by 24 volunteers and tasks are divided among them. Most of the work is done on their lunch hours, but the company also gives those employees the last hour of the workday for their garden work. Lubrizol also has put up a deer fence around the garden and has a sprinkling system in place to water it.
"We have 13 different crops and chose things from which people can make meals," Sanders said. "Our employees are really taking ownership of this garden." Continued...
Master Gardeners from the Cooperative Extension Service also have helped establish the community garden behind Cornerstone Friends Church in Madison.
"This had been nursery land and the soil is sandy, but was nutritionally depleted over the years," said Pat Gerred, a church member and Master Gardener. "So we brought in a plow and manure and augmented the soil before laying out 72 plots."
Now in its fourth season, the land is well-nourished and doing well thanks to regular gardeners who also added their mulches and labor to the effort.
"We still have 20 plots available this year," Gerred said. "They're free, but we do have some rules," she said.

this shits crazy. these people are geniuses to say the least. i wish i was that smart haha
Double Barrel and Team Lift ftw.
gnipgnop im not sure whether to neg you or +1 it. That video makes so much sense that im about to shit myself. When the dude kicked that dog robot thing, all i could see in my mind was the dog kicking him back. crazy world we live in.
Yeah man. I've watched that video literally 4 times. I'm addicted to TED at the moment.
I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!
seriously man, i almost wished i hadn't watched that video. My mind was first blown when he mentioned that we will possibly lose the dollar. And then i cant get the dog clip out of my head...that is literally insane. bionic athletes. Back when lasiks eye surgery came out, i was mad that people could start seeing in 20/15 vision after a surgery (which is better than 20/20), because i have 20/15 in my right eye and i always thought it was cool. But frack, it didnt really dawn on me that that really is just the beginning... This isnt even something that could be played off as a conspiracy theory or whatever, theres actual science behind it. shitt.
Wow, these videos are badass!
Yeah man. That's the exciting part. If you were moved by that I suggest you watch the TED talk by Ray Kurzweil. He was off on a couple of things, but still mind blowing.
I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!
Ill give my brain a nights rest before i watch that one.
i so wanna be as cool as tom cruise in minority report.
You win some, you lose some. - ZBR
holy crap
Y'know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
And I'm the hoochie-coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here
and human kind gets one step closer to being lazy-half droid humans moving around in small cars doing nothing except snapping there fingers
the venus project is the future world
Skimming ability related to intellectual conversation? Nope.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
What the frack are you talking about? Are you fracking dense? I attacked his IDEA, not HIM. See the separation? It's clear from his response that he either didn't watch the videos or didn't pay attention to them when he did.
Maybe if I get another 5,000 posts I'll have 11,000 posts. That makes more sense you trolling bag of dicks.
I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!
Wow, was just cruising around the site and they have a lot of well respected researchers. I recommend the talk on cheating by Dan Airley, I also recommend his book (Predictably Irrational).
i think the first post that you attacked was actually serious. That humans really will become stupider and more lazy, because of such advanced technology (kind of a paradox). Im sure that with the invention of the calculator, the average person's mental calculating abilities went down. Even though people were able to perform better than they had prior to the invention, they could be considered dumber when it comes to fundamentals.
i did watch the video and i think its rediculous to go around and when u meet some one for the first time the dumbass computer already googles them and displays on their shirt wat there are. wat if u meet some unemployed person, does it say "dropout?" wat a good way to use prejudice in technology. and if ur too lazy too look at ur phone to see wat time it is and u would rather draw a watch on urself ur an idiot.
u guys go ahead and pay 400 bux for a pointless computer device to make your life "easier" when it already is easy. thats just being lazy. ur the type of people who would pay to have everything in life done but the only thing in life is the doing. then u will all be bored and become half cyborg half crackheads
This is so sick! I've never seen anything like it.
Proskimboarding.com - Owner/Webmaster
I partly agree with you, but I think the tags that would appear on people would define them in a way similar to facebook? Do you have facebook, because you are essentially doing this already.
What about people who are too lazy to look at a watch so they pull out their cell phone to tell the time?
Who here said they were going to buy one? I should say that if it was small and cheap I would definitely buy one. You said you were all about stereotypes, yet your post is you basically stereotyping anyone who shows interest in technology. Perhaps you should step back and look at who you are before you try and define others. There are more similarities then you think.
I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!
im not even gunna argue this. your you, and im me. and im perfectly fine with that
ur brilliance-ness makes u go off topic and get the view onto some one else
i meant the watch thing as like there going out of their way to display how techonologically cool they are. its just another way to make these people more extravagant than we need to be. keep it simple stupid
i didnt say anyone was gonna buy it but u seemed to highly disagree with my first post. freak out? GTFO
omg would you fracking e-warriors go on some other message board where you can build up your 50k posts. i want to punch you all in the face
why do people have to be such dicks when people post and interesting video, if anything these advances in technology could make the world a better place, by making advances in the world of medicine and such. stop being trolling d-bags.
have you guys ever used a tv remote, or a telephone, or have a digital watch, or drove a car, basically we are ALL fracking lazy as SHIT
That is one way of looking at it. But step back from these inventions and think about why they exist. They are not natural and we are not born with innate abilities to use them. We don't have a choice whether we want to use them or not for the most part in Western civilization. With that in mind, the arguement that this is making us lazy is redundant. Why not use calculators to do multiplication and division? Why does that make us stupid, just because a generation ago they could do it in their head? So fracking what? We aren't born to work. We developed calculators because in the very end of things, we developed a society which necessitates the function of a calculator, and when it was invented that took over use having to do it in our heads. That is not laziness, that is progress. That is development.
The watch this was more or less to demonstrate the power of the technology, not necessarily to say "Hey rich people come and buy this!"
Keep it simple? Tell Aaron or Tex or Smetts to just make simple wood skimboards only, and to stop developing skimboard technology. Remember that 50 years from now the person drawing a watch on their arm to tell the time will not seem like advanced technology. Just like how carbon skimboards don't really seem advanced because tons of people have them. However, 30 years ago a carbon fibre skimboard would have been a huge technological advancement.
You are on the same message board as me. I'm not building up posts but participating in a community. If I wanted to build up my posts I would flame the shit out of people and e-threaten to punch someone in the face like you.
If you agree with that, then sell your Ruckus! So skim on a wooden skimboard and walk your ass to the beach. YOU didn't choose to live where you do, and you could move to some island to get away from it all and live outside the system, but you won't. So how the frack is technology making us lazy? Technology is moving towards giving us more time to think about more important things instead of trying to divide 45 by 790 in our heads.
I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!
hahaha GnipGnop and LAXitives288 are kooks.
hahah this kid steezy is an ignorant frack.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
Nice edit steezy. Instead of making gross assumptions and stereotypes like you have been so far, try thinking a little bit harder. The fact that you resorted to calling people kooks signals that you've probably stopped thinking, which might be for the better. I don't want you to hurt yourself.
I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!

Mike The Situation is fresh out of rehab and getting ready to leap into the belly of the beast that is the Jersey Shore crib down in Seaside Heights.
DETAILS: The Situation Leaves Rehab
As you could have guessed, this isn't the best situation for someone who just got out of rehab, so Mike's doctors have alerted MTV that Sitch will require a little bit of help to stay clean.
PHOTOS: The Situation Enters Rehab
According to Radar:
The Situation is scheduled to begin filming the new season of Jersey Shore in June, and his "doctors at Cirque Lodge advised him that he should have a sober living companion with him at all times when he is in Seaside Heights. The sober living companion would have to move into the Shore house along with the other cast members.
The companion wouldn't need, nor want to appear on camera, but putting Mike back into that world without a strong support system around him is asking for trouble. Mike doesn't think he needs someone to be with him and essentially be a babysitter, and this has his doctors extremely concerned for his sobriety and recovery," a source tells Radar exclusively.
It was previously rumored that MTV was looking to phase out The Situation and Snooki, who is currently expecting a child, but the entertainment company has denied those rumors. However, adding another member to the reality show to "babysit" the Situation could become a hassle.
Would you still watch the Jersey Shore guidos sans the Situation and Snooki?

Conduct your retail banking systems review with ease
Our regularly updated Retail Banking Systems Market Report reveals the retail banking systems market is still suffering to a degree from the wider forces of recession and financial crisis. Nevertheless, there is still plenty of activity and, far from going away, the previous business drivers for change have often become more pronounced. Old core systems continue to become less and less sustainable – for both cost and business reasons. New competitors, encouraged by the weakness in some banks' brands, are hovering, putting pressure on the incumbents to react.
IBS Intelligence's Retail Banking Systems (RBS) Market Report will bring you right up to date with the leading retail and universal core banking offerings.
Totally independent, in-depth and updated, it provides a huge amount of information on each supplier and its systems. That information, as with all IBS Intelligence publications, stems from our investigative reporting, not from supplier hype.

A West Sacramento resident running for a school board seat defended himself Monday, after submitting a candidate statement that contains spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes.
The eight-sentence statement submitted by Linh T. Nguyen contains at least 20 spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes.
Among the mistakes, Nguyen failed to capitalize West Sacramento and spelled "baseball" with three Ls.
Nguyen is one of five candidates running for an open seat on the school board in the Washington Unified School District.
Nguyen told KCRA 3 he typed the statement on his cellphone and some of the mistakes were made by the phone's auto-correct function.
He also said he was rushing to meet the Dec. 7 filing deadline.
"For this person to want to represent our kids, I wouldn't vote for him or her," said Jennifer Little, a parent at Southport Elementary School.
"I don't find it offensive, I don't think. I think I get the message," said Stacy Demello-Rice, a West Sacramento resident.
Demello-Rice said she felt such mistakes were tolerated in a district with a large number of immigrant families.
According to a California Department of Education report, more than 20 percent of the 7,574 students come from homes where a language other than English is spoken.

The announcement was made during Louisiana Tech's fall faculty and staff meeting in Howard Auditorium. Joined by family, friends and colleagues, Reneau reflected on how far Louisiana Tech has come during his tenure as president, recapped the past year's achievements, and talked about what the future holds for him and the university.
"For the past 46 years, I have had the honor of serving my alma mater and the privilege of working with some of the finest academicians and administrators in the nation," said Reneau. "But after long and thoughtful contemplation and discussion with my family, this just seemed like the right decision and the right time.
"Louisiana Tech has been at the center of my life's work and I have always measured my professional success by that of the university's. I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished together and feel blessed to have made so many good friends along the way. I just feel it's time for me to step out of the spotlight and into the sunlight."
One of the ways Reneau said he'll continue to provide support to Louisiana Tech is through the establishment of an independent "think tank" within the Louisiana Tech University Foundation that will act as an advisory and advocacy group to the university's administration and Foundation, and will help to support and advance Louisiana Tech.
"The think tank will exist as a fully-independent enterprise working on behalf of Louisiana Tech and its vision and interests," said Reneau. "The people I wish to work with have over 400 years of combined experience and association with Louisiana Tech, are well respected within the state's business and higher education communities, and are passionate about contributing to the university's future growth and opulence."
Reneau's history and relationship with Louisiana Tech is almost as lengthy and impressive as his list of achievements. It began with earning a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering in 1963 and a master's degree in chemical engineering in 1964.
"I was a kid from Woodville, Mississippi who was so proud to come to Tech and be a part of its outstanding student body," Reneau recalls. "I wanted to be a chemical engineer and knew that I would receive an excellent education at Louisiana Tech…and I did. I remember having professors that really cared about my scholarship and success."
After earning his bachelor's and master's degrees, Reneau's passion for learning grew into a desire to pursue a doctorate in chemical engineering at Clemson University. He graduated with a Ph.D. in 1966, having worked with some of the nation's most accomplished engineering faculty and researchers.
Drawn back to Ruston and his alma mater, Reneau returned to Louisiana Tech in 1967 to take a position as an assistant professor of chemical engineering and quickly distinguished himself as an academician and researcher.
One of Reneau's cornerstone achievements came in 1972 when he established Louisiana Tech's Department of Biomedical Engineering Department – one of the first of its kind in the United States and only the fifth undergraduate program to become accredited in the nation.
Today, Louisiana Tech has one of the most respected and successful biomedical engineering programs in the country."
Throughout the 1970s, Reneau continued to demonstrate his outstanding vision and leadership abilities, resulting in his appointment as Louisiana Tech's Vice President of Academic Affairs in 1980. In this capacity, he served as chief academic officer to some 400 faculty housed in six colleges and three professional schools, offering 160 different degree programs. Under his direction, every major program at Louisiana Tech with an accrediting agency was awarded accreditation.
The Board of Trustees for State Colleges and Universities selected Reneau as the 13th President of Louisiana Tech University on February 20, 1987.
