Oh wait! You're thinking. "I have seen the Georges DuBoeuf Beaujolais Nouveau, but it was a 2009 and on sale in a grocery cart in the center of the wine aisle. I will get that instead of the 2010. It's got a little age on it ... "
Okay, listen up you silly pilgrim. Thanksgiving is about the bounty, right? Traditionally, this day was a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. Today, Thanksgiving is a time to, not only celebrate our harvest, but to express thanks and gratitude for all of the special peeps and possessions in our lives.
The turkey is willing and ready to be paired with Rosé. It's so pretty and pink and perfect for those red wine lovers who are seeking a lighter version. In Walla Walla we have rosé produced from Cabernet Franc, Mourvèdre, and Sangiovese. And speaking of Sangiovese, the sage, thyme, onion, and sausage in your turkey dressing is made for Sangiovese.
A bottle of Riesling or even Gewürztraminer can take you from the turkey to the pumpkin pie depending if the wine is dry or off-dry. An acidic white wine will cut the fat on the palate from the deep-fried turkey, while the off-dry will make for a yummy accompaniment with the pumpkin pie or gingerbread. Explore some other whites as well, such as Viognier or blends. Chardonnay will pair well with a smoked turkey and again, add a little Chardonnay to the broth when making gravy.
Bring out the "Stickies" (late harvest and ice wines) and Ports to finish the meal. And while you are at it, bring out some cigars from the humidor, as well. Hey, why not? Cigars are about the most civilized thing to smoking the peace pipe. And my point for this rant?
Break from the one bottle of Pinot Noir tradition and be a renegade. Embark on a quest from the norm like the original pilgrims. Pilgrims Priscilla and John Alden didn't have fried onions from a can to put on a green bean casserole nor did they have marshmallows to put on the sweet tubers at the first Thanksgiving feast in 1621. Through the years these recipes have been published in newspapers and magazines and have become a big part of family traditions. These casseroles are a symbol of our bounty. If you are an expert, or even a novice lover of the grape, make wines another symbol of your bounty.
Crush happens in the fall and what a perfect time to celebrate the end of wine country's harvest with wine at Thanksgiving. Cheers!

X-Pac Recalls Suicide Attempt, Bashes TNA, Nexus
Former WWE talent Sean Waltman (a/k/a X-Pac) discussed reaching rock bottom when he attempted to commit suicide in his hotel apartment in Mexico City.
"I was in Mexico for three years. When I was there, things got really bad," Waltman recalled to the Miami Herald.
"I got in a heated argument that turned into physicality with my girlfriend [Alicia Webb]. I ended up striking her back. I always told myself that I would die before I would hit a woman. So when I did that, I was overcome with guilt and shame. I had no tools to handle it. The only thing I could think of was take a whole bottle of Valium or what was left of the bottle. It was probably around 400 milligrams of Valium.
"I hung myself from the roof of my apartment. It was the darkest moment of my life, or one of them, to get me to do that. It was a lot of build up that I didn't know how to deal with."
Webb, known to wrestling fans as Ryan Shamrock during her time in WWE in 1999, found him.
"I was dead," said Waltman.
"She got me down, which I don't know how she did it. She is like superwoman. I swear. She did CPR and all that. She kept me alive for 45 minutes until the ambulance arrived. Then I was really on life support for three days."
Kevin Nash was there by his side the next day and helped check him into The Menninger Clinic in Houston, Texas, a leading psychiatric hospital. He stayed there for four months, where he conducted some much needed soul searching.
Waltman also discussed his last stint with TNA Wrestling, noting that the main reason he is no longer with the company is because he contracted Hepatitis C. Certain athletic commissions prohibit him from wrestling. He said he would return to the organization, but strictly for a paycheck.
"Then try to last as long as I could before I go %$#$ing crazy because their writing sucks so bad," Waltman said.
"I was on my show, and somebody was talking about it. I told them they dip their pen in $%^& before they write their shows. I have a relationship that is deeper than wrestling in WWE. Honestly, TNA it would strictly be for the paycheck. I really don't feel any emotional equity with those people at this point."
The outspoken wrestler feels that for the organization to succeed, they need to get rid of Vince Russo as a writer.
"I like Vince Russo the person. I love him as a human being. Supposedly to my face, he likes me, too, but they don't want me there because I'm always saying something sucks when it's the #$%^. They would rather bury their head in the sand than do something correct or listen to somebody else's input. Everyone is so defensive there. To me, I don't care whose idea it is. If it's a good idea, then lets do it. I don't care who gets credit for it..."
The former member of the New World Order and D-Generation X also gave his take on WWE's The Nexus faction. He feels the group is more similar to the nWo than DX.
"There would be no DX, if it wasn't for the nWo, in my opinion. It closely resembles the nWo stuff with the mob mentality and the simple looking logo on the shirt. It's kind of like let's make it look less like nWo while copying it completely.
"I like Wade Barrett a lot. I think he has tons of potential. Just to put a guy like that, who is unproven or have any emotional equity with the fans as heel or babyface, it's hard. It was an effective angle, and they are still getting mileage from it.
"They had to resort to that as a result of having a shallow roster. The people bought into it to a certain extent, but there was never a revelation that was a bigger mastermind until the CM Punk thing. That's better to me, and I see it going in a different direction. I'm not sure if I like it much with all the initiation stuff and guys getting beaten up in the ring. I never liked that. In real life, especially in a street gang, who would do that? Nobody.
"I hated it in the nWo. They only did it in WWE really. They didn't really do it much when we were in WCW. We didn't beat our own guys up. It's retarded. Sorry. Now they have this Mason Ryan guy. I hated that. That's the writers."

Um yes, there actually is.
Two years ago, I wrote a blog entry titled "Things More Interesting Than the Royal Wedding" and it was probably one of my highest viewed blogs. Which surprised me, really, since it was nothing more than a rambling of things I found more interesting than royal nuptials. Still, I suppose it speaks to the point that we all have our opinions on what we deem as "interesting." Well, now they're expecting a baby and it's all over the grocery store newsstands. So here I am again, this time with an entry of things more interesting than the royal pregnancy. Because I'm not a royal watcher myself, but I do have my eye on:
1. Iron Man 3. Come on, you know you want to see it after the breathtaking spectacle that was The Avengers last summer. We all want to know what's up in the superhero world a year after we were saved from Loki's shenanagins with the tesseract. We also want to know what was up with that last scene. It hinted at something unpleasant coming to Earth. What was it?
2. Star Trek – Into Darkness. It's not just for Trekkie nerds anymore. J.J. Abrams elevated the Star Trek franchise to new heights – and popularity – with his magnificent rendition of the original crew in 2009's Star Trek, and the previews alone make it clear that the bar has been raised. It will be a special effects extravanganza to say the least, and since Abrams rewrote the history of the Trek universe with the destruction of Vulcan in the last movie, who knows what adventures they'll find next?
3. Fast and Furious 6. There's nothing quite like it. The characters. The cars. The driving scenes. Wow! I wonder what the gang is up to now?
4. Breaking Bad, Season 5. It kicks off August 11th. Can you believe it? After 4 seasons of chasing, Hank is onto Walter White being the elusive Heisenburg he's been searching for! And this is the final season for the series, so there are no limits to where this could go by the big finale.
5. The College World Series. It might surprise you to know that I do like college baseball, but I usually don't start following it until we get to the regionals and super-regionals. The big questions is, how far will the University of South Carolina go under a new coach? Ray Tanner left last season to take over as Athletic Director, but the team is still going strong. The won 2 college world series in a row and came so close to a 3-peat last year. It'll be interesting to see how they do with a new leader this year.
6. Thor 2 - The Dark World. I loved the first Thor movie and this one looks like it's bigger, better, and more of, well, everything. Plus, I must admit that Thor is my favorite Avenger and Loki is my favorite villain. I mean folks, watch that trailer. Is that not awesome?
7. The end of the world is just the beginning. My sci-fi novel, Splinter, is scheduled for release through Whiskey Creek Press in November. Keep an eye on this website for information this fall.
8. The Hobbit – The Desolation of Smaug. I love fantasy. I love J.R.R. Tolkein. I love The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. And I love dragons. I think you see how this equation works for me.
So sorry folks, but I just don't have time to track the royal pregnancy. I wish them the best, but I'm far removed from that and have a life of my own to attend to. Plus, there are so many other interesting things going on and I simply have to focus my attention on what matters. In my corner of the world, anyway.
That's all today. Take care and have a good week.

Sedation FAQs
Can I drive home?
No. The effects last many hours and driving is not safe. We will call your ride at the end of your appointment to bring you home. You should not plan to do anything but sleep for the rest of the day. By the next morning you will feel normal, rested and ready to get on with your life.
How safe is oral sedation?
Properly administered oral sedation is the safest form of sedation. We use sophisticated monitoring equipment during all procedures and you are always attended by a trained doctor or staff member.
Is sedation dentistry expensive?
No. There is a sedation fee to cover the expense of the drugs and the monitoring, but we don't try to profit from sedation. Our profit (and yours) is in your comfort and in the quality of your care.
What is the medication?
One of many safe and widely-used sedative and anxiolytic pills will be used. In certain cases, nitrous oxide gas may also be used as an additional medication. Monitoring equipment will be used during all sedation procedures and you are always attended by a trained doctor or staff member.
Will I be asleep?
Most people do doze during their appointment, but our primary goal is relaxation and comfort with safety.
Will you use local anesthetic (Novocaine)?
Always. Oral sedation is not general anesthesia. Treatment is no different than if you were not sedated. The difference is that you will be much more relaxed, memory of the procedure will be minimal and the time will seem to fly by.
Would I be unusual in wanting sedation?
Not at all. Oral sedation in our office is very popular for surgery, for long appointments and for complicated procedures as well as for basic dental anxiety.

One of the common reasons given for the Renaissance and the subsequent scientific revolution is the rediscovery of classical works by scholars in Europe and the social change that the study of those works brought.
However the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic world at that time also had access to the Ancient Greek and Roman works. In fact, there were several Islamic scientists during the early Middle ages who made important discoveries.
What are the major reasons then that the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution happened in Europe but not in the other two regions.
In fact, why didn't such a change happen in the Ancient World itself? Was it the establishment of universities that happened in large part in Europe that was responsible for this change?

Visit with Nuevo Reto and thoughts about the future
On the last day before travel home, our group separated. My husband John went on a personal errand, an adventure…
On the last day before travel home, our group separated. My husband John went on a personal errand, an adventure…
My husband and I adopted two children from Guatemala when they were toddlers, and then were blessed with a homegrown third child a number of years later. We live in Oconomowoc, WI.
Our first trip to Guatemala as a complete family was in August 2015. We wanted our older kids to have familiarity with their birth country, as it would offer a clear picture as to the struggles that many in Guatemala face and hopefully an understanding of some underlying issues that may have had an impact in their adoption stories. We traveled with four other families, two which also had the international adoption tie to Guatemala!
Each one of us was blessed by the trip, some more than others, and perhaps in different ways. As for me, my life was changed forever. I knew that service work and helping the people of Guatemala would be in the forefront for a very long time.
Aside from the fact that we have children born in Guatemala, we choose Guatemala because it is a less-developed nation with needs so much greater than ours and so much less government support for those that truly need it. Plus, the cost of "doing" there is so much less that a little bit of money goes a LONG way.
My name is Peggy McDaniel. I discovered my love for Guatemala and the Mayan culture on my first volunteer trip there in 2012. I have been fortunate to return many times since. I've worked with several coffee farmer groups, women weavers, rug hookers as well as building homes and delivering water filters to the out lying and remote villages. The resilience of the Guatemalan people and the smiles of the children keep me going back. I recently retired after 35 years being a potter and now I get to enjoy extended stays down there. I hope to continue working with the people of Guatemala in any way I can to enrich their lives as much as they have enriched mine!
Hola! Sadly, that is the only Spanish I know!
My name is Tammi Krueger Poe and I am excited to be a part of this group. We adopted our daughter from Guatemala in 2000 at 6 months old. We also have 2 bio boys. We live in Milwaukee, WI. I didn't give much thought to traveling back to Guatemala until my daughter seemed to need and want a connection to her birth country. We are currently in the middle of a birth family search with not a lot of luck. We traveled together in 2019 and it was amazing! I instantly fell in love with the people. I could not get over how loving, caring, happy, and generous they were with so little.
Then I happened to come across GSP on an adoption Facebook page and got connected with Jennifer. I recently retired from a 34 year teaching gig and was looking for something. And then I traveled in Oct. 2020 in the middle of a pandemic with GSP and I knew I had found my something. I was more committed than ever to do what I could with all that I had been blessed with to help Guatemala. I am honored to now be part of the insides of GSP and can't wait to learn more and do more!
My journey started 15 years ago when my husband and I adopted our daughter from Guatemala. We had always planned to go back to visit. I became acquainted with Jennifer and Guatemala Service Projects after seeing a post on a parent FB page. We started sponsoring children and donating for stoves, seeds, chickens, etc. Then…I realized that they offered trips to Guatemala. At this point I was retired from my career in healthcare and plenty of time to travel. So I embarked on a trip with Guatemala Service Projects. I knew that the trip would be more than a vacation. I knew that I would be able to see firsthand how our donations were used and distributed. I knew that I would be able to meet the children we sponsor. What I didn't realize was that it would completely change my life. I came back to the states with a fund raising goal, a bunch of new friends and a whole lot of enthusiasm. I am so honored and humbled to be a part of Guatemala Service Projects not only as a donor but as a board member. I have taken on this challenge as my new life's purpose.
I was fortunate enough to be born in Guatemala and then moved to the United States with my mom and brother when I was 10 years old. Since then, I've made Wisconsin my home and started my own family with a successful career. All my life I've thankfully had the opportunity to enjoy personal visits with family and friends in Guatemala and have noticed while traveling through some small villages a need for education, suitable water, healthcare, and food. Buying a stranger a meal or donating small amounts while traveling through these villages just never seemed as far reaching, impactful, or encompassing as I would've liked. I began searching for organizations that were able to help at a larger scale and discovered Guatemala Service Projects. Knowing that this organization was selflessly enabling those in need to help themselves, I knew that I had found a special place that I wanted to be a part of. I am honored and humbled to join the rest of the Guatemala Service Projects team in helping folks in need within the beautiful country of Guatemala.
I found Guatemala through a Transcultural Healthcare trip I took with WCTC in 2016. I graduated in May of 2017 after studying Surgical Technology. I am the father of two terrific boys, JT and Barret and have been married to their mother, Cindi Faith, for 25 years. I am a cycling enthusiast and enjoy playing the drums, but have found my life's calling over the last several years with many trips to Guatemala.
Becky Stone participated in a transcultural healthcare trip with Trent Faith, Vice-President of Guatemala Service Projects, and fell in love with Guatemala. She returned with the nonprofit in August 2019 to provide house visits to the elderly and is excited to go again in the future, putting her nursing skills to use in the villages we support.
Guatemala es un país en desarrollo con belleza en todos lados: volcanes activos, diversos ecosistemas, mercados de artesanías de fama mundial, una rica historia colonial Maya y Española y un paisaje montañoso increíble se combinan para formar la Tierra de la Eterna Primavera.
Su gente, igualmente hermosa en herencia y tradiciones indígenas Mayas, enfrenta desafíos en la vida diariamente que la mayoría del mundo desarrollado da por hecho. La desnutrición crónica, el analfabetismo, las escasas oportunidades económicas, el aislamiento social, el acceso deficiente al agua potable y el ingreso sistémico y la desigualdad de la riqueza son resultados duraderos de la guerra civil de 36 años del país. Las estadísticas son sorprendentes, como el 59% de la población que vive por debajo del umbral de pobreza nacional y el 23% que vive en la pobreza extrema, con el 13.4% de las familias que dependen del trabajo de menores para sobrevivir.
A pesar de todo esto, la verdadera belleza de Guatemala es la perseverancia, los valores y la esperanza de su pueblo para un futuro mejor. Cuando los recursos están disponibles, los miembros de la comunidad se unen para mejorar sus condiciones de vida, salud y educación.
Guatemala Service Projects, Inc. existe para llevar estos recursos escasos a las comunidades que estan ansiosos de mejorar los resultados para las generaciones presentes y futuras. Los miembros de nuestra junta y los intermediarios de confianza en Guatemala se comunican directamente con los comités, educadores y organizaciones de las aldeas que especifican la prioridad de sus necesidades e identifican los recursos que podemos proporcionar. Las mejoras en las instalaciones escolares, los programas de vitaminas, las bibliotecas, los patrocinios educativos y los jardines comunitarios son solo algunos ejemplos de los programas que tenemos en marcha. Los miembros de nuestra junta viajan periódicamente a Guatemala con equipos de viaje para participar de primera mano en los proyectos que apoyamos mediante la entrega de suministros, la colaboración con educadores, la instalación de equipos y la distribución de productos donados. Ser testigo de la resolución, la laboriosidad y el aprecio de nuestros beneficiarios nos da el ímpetu para seguir ofreciendo estas oportunidades.
Agradecemos su visita a nuestro sitio web para explorar todas las formas en que Guatemala Service Projects, Inc. crea nuevas posibilidades para las comunidades desfavorecidas e indígenas en Guatemala. Su apoyo es la fuerza impulsora de nuestra organización y esperamos su ayuda con nuestras iniciativas.
I travel to Guatemala with Family Smiles, a non-profit dentist group ran by Dr. Frank Patterson. I am in charge of the operations and finance areas of Family Smiles, which includes booking trips, keeping track of supplies needed, and working with locals to make schedules and make sure each day is efficient, and as predictable as possible. I have over 18 years experience in accounting, finance, operations, and strategic planning. I am currently the COO for the Rosebud Economic Development Corporation (REDCO), the economic development arm of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. I have been with REDCO for 8 years, and have helped with the development of new companies, job creation, process development, financial management, and strategic planning. I love my job, but my heart is in Guatemala.
My husband and I had the honor and privilege to adopt our son Marc from Guatemala. Our first trip to Guatemala was May 2007; we met Marc for the first time in person. We also traveled back in July 2007 and to pick him up in August 2007; our daughter Stacey came with us on our last trip to bring Marc home. We fell in love with Marc and his country quickly. We noticed the needs of individuals and families. We have been part of giving financially to aid some of needs we noticed and heard about, for example: student sponsorship and pregnant mother well-checks. I did not feel I was involved enough; I wanted to do more. I have been given the opportunity to serve on the Guatemala Service Projects Board of Directors. I am excited to begin serving the people of Guatemala and the nonprofit! We have future plans to travel back with Guatemala Service Projects; we want Marc to experience his heritage first-hand through helping projects. My background includes: counseling in the field for 12+ years (domestic violence, abuse, and drug and alcohol treatment). I currently work as an instructor at Penn State University. I look forward to this new adventure with my family!
Hi, I'm Mike Margolies. Lillian (my wife) and I brought Andrew home from Guatemala on October 11th, 2001. It was exactly one month after 9/11, the horrendous day that no one will ever forget. From the window of my parents' apartment, I watched the smoke billow out from Ground Zero, having the same fears and sorrow as the rest of the country, but also feeling intense personal sadness that despite all the time, work, and effort which had exhausted us emotionally and physically, our hopes were floating away as well. It is just one more reason why I have always considered the adoption as a gift, which demanded some type of repayment. That feeling grew even stronger over the recent past, as I've learned about the refugee crisis, and heard "Guatemala" mentioned so many times on the news.
The "right" opportunity arose when I learned about a travel opportunity for adoptive families which would include volunteer work and cultural sightseeing. Being members of that team had a profound impact on me, Lillian and Andrew. Not only were we able to make a real connection to our son's birthplace, but we met incredibly warm and generous people, all of whom we now consider to be a part of our "family." In addition to the volunteer work I shared with the Team, I also was able to "give back" by performing as my alter ego, "Farfel the Clown" at a barbecue for children of The Backyard School. It will remain one the proudest and happiest memories of my life.
While in Guatemala, I got to know some of the most courageous and impressive people I've ever met in my life, people that create opportunity and help the Guatemalan people. Through participation on that team, I had the wonderful pleasure to meet Jennifer Demar, who not only always promptly responds to my FB messages, but "gets" my offbeat and silly humor. Through the donation of my time, money and ideas, as well as via future repeat trips to Guatemala, I am committed to the mission of Guatemala Service Projects.
I feel very proud and honored to have been selected as a member of the GSP Board, and I am looking forward to serving and assisting with the foundation to the best of my ability.
My love for Guatemala began with the adoption of my son Aiden in 2006. It was through the birth family's home-study report that I became aware of their financial circumstances and more than a little horrified that his mother was raising 6 children on the equivalent of $120 US per month. Our exposure to the people of Guatemala was limited to what we could see from the plane windows during approach on our visit and pick-up trips and the time we spent in Guatemala City.
Flash forward 14 years, I have just returned from my second tourism/ service trip. I have spent time with Jose Miguel, Pastor Jacob and Ada from Nuevo Reto, and Iris of the Backyard School. I believe that having people who live in the communities who are able to identify the needs and then work to support their communities by filling those needs is the best way to improve the health and welfare of these wonderful people.
It wasn't until a few years ago, however, that I became involved in trying to help make lives better by supporting Jennifer's incredible projects and sponsoring children at the Backyard School and Nuevo Reto. I am very excited to have been asked to join the board and hope that I am able to work with the team to grow support and raise awareness of the needs of these beautiful people.
My husband John and I have been married for 25 years. In addition to Aiden, we have an adult son who joined me last year when I visited Guatemala and he says it was the best experience of his life. I enjoy reading and genealogy research.
While I was in high school I did community theater. During one of our productions we met a wonderful woman who was Guatemalan. I spent a lot of time with her for the 12 weeks we were in production. She showed me her culture. I had even traveled to the Daly Plaza to see her and some friends perform a dance. She had given me tokens of her culture that I had treasured for years. Sadly, after the production was over I never saw her again. I don't recall her name anymore, but I remember her.
When we went to adopt, we chose Guatemala because both I and my husband had been influenced by people from this country. For my husband it was a college classmate. For a while they had been pen pals when she had moved back, but eventually that faded.
In February of 2007 we brought home our seven-month old son from Guatemala, Julian Alexander.
When Jennifer Demar was looking for help with getting Guatemala Service Projects up and running, I jumped on the wagon.
I'd like to give back to the country that has given me so much.
Diego grew up in one of the poorest communities in Chichicastenango, Quiché, Guatemala. Having lived in poverty for many years and living with many difficulties, Diego decided to improve the quality of life for himself and his people of Guatemala through employment with various nonprofit organizations doing work there.
Diego is a motivated and flexible team player who enjoys working on a project from inception to completion. He is an experienced project manager with a proven track record of developing accounting plans, managing staff, and coordinating international volunteer group activities. He is multilingual, with excellent communication in English, Spanish, and K´iché (Mayan Language), and utilizes technical skills in developing administrative programs for nonprofit organizations and companies.
In 2007, he graduated as an Accountant in Guatemala and then continued his studies in the United States. Diego received an Associate Degree in Applied Science Individual Studies from Broome Community College – State University of New York in 2013 and worked as manager and administrator for a US-based company before returning to Guatemala.

08/30/07 Mickey Mouse Promotes Unhealthy Meat Products and Animal Suffering
Animal Friends demands of Disney to break up their cooperation with PIK Vrbovec
Animal Friends has launched a campaign with an aim of ending the cooperation between Disney and PIK Vrbovec, since it is unacceptable that Disney's cartoon character Mickey Mouse should advertise meat pâtés, hot dogs, sausages, and hamburgers, which are unhealthy for children and a result of terrible suffering of animals in intense farm breeding.
Animal Friends demands of Disney corporation that they should withdraw the license for using the Mickey Mouse character as soon as possible, thus ending their cooperation with PIK Vrbovec in deluding children. Moreover, they should break up all connections with unhealthy meat products and with the suffering of pigs and cows in intense farm breeding.
By maintaining its cooperation with PIK Vrbovec, Disney is supporting damages incurred to ecology, violence inflicted upon the children of pigs and cows, and false propaganda inflicted upon human children. As they watch their favourite character smiling at them from the packages of meat products, children fall victim to a delusion as to the cruel realities behind the walls of modern farms and slaughterhouses, as well as concerning their own nutrition. At the same time, this sly propaganda puts their parents into a difficult position while they are trying to educate their children properly on this matter.
In the way it conducts its business, Disney should be observing a high ethical code, which condemns rather than ratifies any form of manipulation for the sake of gaining profit, especially if it concerns manipulating children. "We think that it is shameful that Disney should have allowed itself to become involved in the promotion of products that are a very bad choice as nutrition for children and moreover a result of cruelty against animals," as Luka Oman, president of Animal Friends, has stated.
Disney should take better care of its reputation and break up all cooperation with PIK Vrbovec for the same reasons for which it did with McDonald's. The situation is even worse in this case, since parents can perhaps manage to avoid fast-food restaurants, but they can barely prevent their children from noticing Mickey Mouse smiling at them from packages with meat pâtés, hot dogs, sausages, and hamburgers in almost every food store.
Using Disney characters on ready meat products is inappropriate and harmful for children, animals, and the reputation of Disney corporation. Therefore, Animal Friends hopes that it will soon break up all cooperation with PIK Vrbovec, just as it did in the case of McDonald's.
Animal Friends has sent an official letter to the president of Disney corporation, Mr. Robert A. Iger, which can be sent by any interested citizen.
In the letter addressed to Disney, Animal Friends asks whether Mickey Mouse is ready to take the children around PIK's farms and slaughterhouses, the source of cow's meat and pig's liver and fat, which, with the addition of various preservatives, antioxidants, and taste enhancers, turn up in food stores packed in plastic with Disney's logo, or else Disney will take better care in the future whom they will allow to use the influence of their characters and with what purpose.
We have attached to the letter several video clips and photographs from PIK's pig farm in Gradec, which have recently arrived at our address and which show the horrors of farm breeding with "pools" of excrements.
Many citizens of Croatia have likewise noticed the inappropriateness of using Disney characters on PIK products and expressed their hope that Disney will react immediately and withdraw its license to PIK for using the Mickey Mouse character in order to influence children for the sake of corporate gains.

I've seen this statement all over lately, and at this point, I'm taking it as a sign and adopting it as my 2012 motto! It was either this one, or the "Keep calm and eat cupcakes" poster. And that just wouldn't jive with my weight watchers plan.
Did you know the poster was first created back in 1939 by the British government at the beginning of WWII to raise the morale of the British public in the event of an invasion? In light of the chaos a homeschooling family can face, I thought it was a perfect motto for the year!
I love the crown on this one as well because it reminds me to keep my focus on my King and that if I'm walking in the Spirit I can remain calm! It's when I start walking in my flesh that sparks start to fly. Awhile back I memorized James 1:20
"for the wrath of man [mom] does not produce the righteousness of God".
(If you haven't memorized this verse yet, I challenge you to try it! I think you'll find that God is good to pop this verse into your head at the most opportune times!)
Speaking of yearly mottos…
I really desire to live my life purposefully. To be deliberate in my parenting, teaching, and care for our home. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily grind, and to view our homemaking as a chore instead of a blessing. I really don't want my children to remember their mama as being tired, crabby and dissatisfied with all the blessings that God has given her.
So this year, I'm resolving to be deliberate in my actions! To live life in a purposeful manner, to be present and thankful in each day!
That means prayerfully considering commitments, and even having the courage to say no to some things.
I'm not sure if I've told you or not, but I'm a "yes" person. It kills me to say no to people, and with the increase in my blog traffic, it's been something that I've had to start doing. I'd love to make everything for everyone, but it's just not possible. Not without sacrificing something else. Namely my time with my family.
So this year I'm focusing on priorities, I'm keeping God first, and family close behind.
With that said, I thought it would be a great idea to come up with a plan for our whole family! I'm sure they're thrilled that I pull them into all my crazy notions. Since I'm not one to re-create the wheel, I found something that really spoke to my heart at Hither to and Hence Forth. So with a little modifications, I present to you…
The Confessions Family Mission Statement:
Being blessed ourselves, we will pray for those who do not have a Bible to read, food to eat, clothes to wear, or toys to play with.
We will encourage, respect, and honor one another by speaking in a gentle and kind manner.
We will practice gratitude by taking care of our belongings and being thankful in all circumstances.
We will strive to be peacemakers in all situations and be quick to apologize and forgive one another.
And finally, we commit to replacing the toilet paper roll if found empty.
Our family verse:
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:12-14
Just because I like to have visible reminders…
I created this printable of our family mission statement. In the event you'd like to share this with your family, I've made it available as a free download for you!
(Don't worry, the toilet paper bit isn't on the printable version, that probably just happens at our house.)
(Download trouble? Try to RIGHT click on the download link and select "SAVE LINK AS". You will be prompted to save the file to your computer!)

You've been working out and eating right for some time now and are gratified that the scale has been showing the desired weight loss. This time will be different from all the other weight loss escapades, you tell yourself - you're well on your way to reaching your ideal weight and nothing's going to get in your way. Onward and downward!!
And then comes a period of time when the scale just won't budge no matter how disciplined you are about following the regimen that's gotten you this far. It's that unmistakable feeling of having one foot on the gas and the other foot on the brake. You're going nowhere fast. What gives? So you stay strong and really put your nose to the grindstone - and still nothing. Two weeks turn into a month and you're really getting frustrated. All this work and nothing to show for it? Even a rat gets a pellet at the end of his maze.
You, my friend, have reached what is commonly referred to as a plateau. And before you let those feelings of frustration and failure send you to your favorite carton of ice cream with a shovel and a "what the hell was I thinking?" defeatist attitude, read ahead for some ideas on how to break through that barrier and finally achieve your goal.
We all fall into routines that eventually turn into unproductive ruts: our jobs, our social lives, our wardrobes, our way of thinking. And we've found that the best way to bust out of those doldrums is to change things up. Same with your fitness regimen. Change, it appears, really is good.
Hitting a plateau is completely normal in any weight loss effort. It is just code for "Time to change things up" - just like when someone says, "It's not about the money" is really code for "It's way too expensive for me." Or my perennial favorite from living in the Boston area - "I went to school in Cambridge" is really code for "Ask me about my incredibly impressive Harvard education which I'm pretending to be really modest about."
I've sifted through many articles about breaking through a weight loss plateau and have selected the most common threads in many of them. There are four suggestions that received more mention than any others.
Change your workout. Your body has probably become too accustomed to your present exercise regimen and is used to the same caloric burn after doing it for so long. "Ho-hum," your body says, "nothing new here. I'll just phone it in today." Imagine your body working at the same level of your typical Motor Vehicle Department clerk. It has become complacent. You should change your workout routine every 4 to 6 weeks to keep your body guessing. If you started out exercising with walking, then try switching to swimming or pilates to challenge your body and make it call on different muscle groups. Also, make sure that the intensity of your workout is challenging enough. You should be working hard enough to feel it - kind of like your payroll taxes.
Strength training is something else that should be worked into the mix. It strengthens your bone tissue, increases lean mass and boosts your metabolic rate.
Change your diet. Your body also gets too used to the same thing if that's what you've been feeding it every day. To keep your metabolism revved, make some changes in what and when you're eating. If you've been doing low carb, try switching it up to more protein or low fat. If you're eating 3 to 5 meals, increase that to 6 or 7 meals (I'm talking small meals here, of course. Drive-thrus and holiday chow downs excluded.). Increased eating frequency stabilizes blood sugar, controls appetite and maintains your energy level.
Another suggestion in this category was to zig-zag your calorie intake. By keeping your weekly intake of calories the same, try mixing up the amount you consume each day. If you've been eating 1800 calories a day (3600 for two days), try eating 1500 one day and 2100 the next (totals the same 3600 for two days) - anything to keep your body guessing.
There was also an article that encouraged eating more to break through a plateau. Gak! What?! I'm trying to lose weight, not gain it! Relax. This just means that you should make sure you're getting enough fuel so that your body doesn't go into survival mode and start storing fat - even if you're still working out. If you're taking in less than 1200 calories, you may not be eating enough and your metabolism will slow.
Keep a food journal. By keeping track of everything you eat, you can pick up patterns that you might not have been aware of. Most people underestimate their food intake by 20%. That's pretty significant. Journaling is also a good method of accountability. If you're about to eat something, you're going to think twice if you have to record it. Too much work. This is where being a slacker actually turns out to be a good thing!
Stay motivated and positive. It's easy to lose momentum when the scale has stopped showing you any results. You've got to stick with it to push through these plateaus. And really, consider the alternative of not sticking with it. Remind yourself of the progress you've already made. Start your own blog. Get a workout buddy. Just keep your head in the game and your body will follow.
Have any of you hit a plateau at some point in reaching your fitness goals? And what did you do to break through it?
