I recently saw a letter written by an experienced teacher to his first-year-teacher self, and it reminded me of all the times I've thought, "I wish I'd known this when I started teaching." Tomorrow is my last teacher workday before the students come back on Monday. What better time than the beginning of a new school year to write my own letter to my past self? So here it goes.
Dear Julie of 2006 (or as you're about to be known, Ms. Ruble!),
It's the night before the first day of school. I know you're scared. I would tell you to get a good night's rest, but to be honest, you're not going to sleep much tonight. It doesn't matter, though. Well-rested or not, you're about to meet around 150 students who will change your life forever.
You'll meet D, who you'll admire for his sense of humor and his dance moves, and who will ask you all year when you're going to let his beloved mother do your hair. You'll meet L, who will stand up in class and scream in your face, but who needs you to forgive her and love her about as much as she needs air. You'll meet H and P, who you will never reach. You'll meet M, who seems impervious but who will shed surprising tears when you speak to her in anger. You'll meet D, whose artwork will take your breath away.
You'll meet K, and Julie . . . K will break your heart. Nothing you do will rescue that little boy from his situation. What can I say? This is going to be a tough year. But you can make it one of the most important years of your life.
You don't lack fervor. I'm not going to tell you to be fervent. You are meticulous. I'm not going to tell you to perfect your classroom management systems. You are fretting about how students will learn science. I'm not going to advise you on unit plans. I've been teaching for 3.5 years now and I'm not an expert, but I'm going to tell you the things I wish you'd known.
1. Teach your students to learn. There are so many standards and concepts that you'll literally try to pack a new topic in every day this year. I know you can drag the kids along at that pace — you're good at making things happen — but maybe you shouldn't. You're trying to cram little bits of application into a full day of lecturing, and that's not really how they're going to learn. Put the importance of teaching them every tiny fact about your subject matter into perspective.
Instead, present new information and then find resources, projects, labs, and other experiences that allow them to apply the information themselves. Let them take ownership in their learning and enjoy the process. Give them more time to read and problem-solve together. Let them come up with creative ways to study. They don't need to remember every step of the rock cycle for the rest of their lives, but they do need to know how to gather and process information.
I know it will take too long. I know you'll end up not being able to cover everything. But if they come out of your class with the ability to be a curious, driven learner, that's more important than all the Earth science facts you could give them.
2. Be humble and open to new ideas. This is a lesson you've learned, but that you need to continue to wholeheartedly embrace. We all tend to grow up feeling like we have a good handle on how the world works. In a way, deep down, we believe we know everything and can do everything. Teachers especially can develop a superiority complex when they run their classroom well and start to have great ideas. Rather than being a vessel that accepts and pours out in equal measure, they become a faucet, spewing a thick, opaque blanket of know-it-all over their colleagues.
Apart from alienating the people who can be your greatest allies, you miss out on so much when you think you know everything. Remind yourself constantly that some of your most exciting moments in the classroom have come from trying someone else's ideas, even when they were outside of your comfort zone. Remind yourself that others are competent professionals, too — indeed, when you move on to a different school after this year, you will be surrounded by some of the most intelligent, innovative people you've ever met. Remind yourself that it's okay to ask for help.
Finally, teach your students that they don't know everything, either. Model humility, and place them in situations that challenge their worldview.
3. Be an advocate for yourself so that you can be an advocate for your students. You've been lectured endlessly on being flexible, rolling with the punches, and sucking up the pain. Those things are important sometimes. But what no one's told you yet, and what you really need to know to survive this year (and I'm not just being dramatic), is this: you are a valuable professional, and you do not have to let people take advantage of you.
You're the sweet, young, impressionable, flexible new teacher and this year, others will try to steamroll you to further their own interests. Even if they have their students' needs in mind, it is not okay for them to hurt you and your class. If someone tells you you have to do something unreasonable, say no. If someone tells you you have to do something that hurts your class, say no. If the administration says they won't assist you, don't stop insisting. This isn't a crusade or a mission for which you have to allow yourself to be victimized. It's your job — and it's important for you and your students that you are treated professionally.
4. Let yourself fail, and teach your students that failing doesn't make you a failure. You are a perfectionist, but masterfully handling dozens of unpredictable, unique children is kind of like orchestrating a synchronized swimming team . . . made up of cats. Some lessons and classroom management plans are going to flop. Someone is going to steal the popcorn you brought in as a reward for the students. Someone is going to cut every one of your students' bean plants in half. You are going to be unnecessarily harsh to a student and regret it.
Show your students that it's okay to make a mistake by owning your mistakes. Show them that it's okay to apologize by apologizing to them. Show them that it's okay to be disappointed in yourself while still loving yourself — that you can pick yourself up and move on.
There are kids who make a mistake and add it to a list in their brains called, "Reasons I Don't Deserve to be Loved." Show them that there's nothing they can do to make themselves failures as long as they keep moving forward. Tell them to expect "excellence, not perfection," as one of my coworkers said in a meeting today, and to forgive themselves when they miss the mark.
5. Most importantly, Julie, love your students. I know you think you understand how crucial this is, but you will lose sight of it. You will immerse yourself in creating classroom structure, creating lessons, developing systems. You will prioritize academic achievement without realizing that having a loving, secure environment is the bedrock on which achievement is built.
Your students may not remember the different kinds of earthquake faults, but they'll remember that they had a 6th grade teacher who loved them. They'll remember that even when they misbehaved, there was someone in their lives who would not give up on them. They will be changed by the fact that you listened to their ideas and treated them like valuable human beings. Stop and let yourself interact with them in a personal way that lets them know you care about them.
That's all for now — no words of wisdom on how to organize your files or balance housework and schoolwork, because you'll figure all of that out. You're going to be great. And even when you're not, you're going to change lives and be changed. Thank God for a job where you can say that!
Love and #2 pencils,
Ms. Ruble of 2011
Fauxstess Cupcakes
Recipe by: Adapted from Annie's Eats and Hershey's
Yields: about 15 cupcakes
These "Fauxstess" Cupcakes are homemade knock-offs of the Hostess Cupcakes that might've shown up in your lunch boxes during your childhood. They were adorable additions to my elementary school throwback picnic. The tender chocolate cake is filled with a marshmallowy cream and topped with rich ganache. Apart from being cute, these things are seriously easy to make and seriously delicious!
Cupcake Ingredients:
1 cups sugar
7/8 cup all-purpose flour
3/8 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water
Filling Ingredients:
9 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/8 cup Marshmallow Fluff
2 tablespoons plus 1 3/4 teaspoon heavy cream
Ganache Ingredients:
3/4 cups heavy cream
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (I love Ghirardelli's 60% cacao chips)
5 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two muffin pans with cupcake liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat this mixture medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (this will make the batter thin). Fill each well about 2/3 full of batter (be careful to not to overfill them — these cupcakes always bake up a little wonky for me, and if you overfill them, they can overflow the pan). Bake 20 to 25 minutes (I check them early and often, starting around the 15 minute mark) or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Cool completely.
Make the filling: Beat the butter, confectioners' sugar, marshmallow fluff and 2 1/4 tablespoons (I eyeballed this measurement) of the heavy cream together until fluffy. Transfer all but 3/4 cup of this mixture into a pastry bag with a narrow tip. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon of cream to the remaining 3/4 cup of the mixture and beat until smooth. Cover this and save it for decorating the top of the cupcakes later.
Make the ganache: Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring the cream to a simmer in a medium saucepan (or heat it for a couple of minutes in the microwave, keeping a watch that it doesn't boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let stand 1-2 minutes. Whisk in small circles until a smooth ganache forms.
Assemble the cupcakes: Insert the tip of the pastry bag full of cream into the bottom of each cupcake and gently squeeze cream out into the cake. It's hard to tell how much to squeeze and for how long, but I tried to squeeze as much as possible without bursting the cupcake, and to the point where a small bead of the cream poked out of the bottom when I removed the pastry tip (I then scraped off the excess). Dip the top of each cupcake into the ganache (or, if they don't rise above the cupcake paper, you can gently spoon the ganache on and spread it with the back of a spoon). Grab the reserved filling mixture with the extra cream and use a pastry bag with a small tip (or a plastic zip bag with a small corner cut off) to pipe curls across the top of each cupcake. Refrigerate the cupcakes to set the frosting. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
P.S. Are you thinking up your own filled cupcake for the Willow Bird Baking Cupcake Challenge? Bake your creation and email photos to juruble 'at' gmail.com by Wednesday, September 7, 2011. I'll feature your cupcake on WBB! Find more details and some cupcake inspiration here.

I love this post- what a great perspective to look back on what you have gone through over the last few years of teaching. I bet your students adore you!
These cupcakes look fantastic.
Thanks, Lauren 🙂
What a beautiful post… Gave me goosebumps and tears… You are such an inspiration to me! Thank you for always being so thought provoking…. You are an amazing teacher and any student is blessed to have you love them! <3 May God bless this next school year and touch many lives through you!!
Aw, thank you so much, Erin! <3
I've been following your blog for awhile now – it's always so refreshing and cheerful to read. You have a neat outlook on life, and this post especially made me admire your principles. I feel these are applicable to any person/job, not just teachers, and thank you for reminding me of them! Keep up the great work!
Thank you, Kelli 🙂
As a retired Special Education teacher from NYC,I relate to your comments.After 30 years and God knows how many students, you will only reach a handful, but when you do, your heart will burst with joy and it will re-energize your spirit to continue no matter what brick wall the administration puts in your path.Once in a while I get an e-mail from a by-gone student or I hear from the child of a student I once had that I am remembered. Keep up the good work!
I completely agree! Can't wait 'til I get those emails from old students… here's hoping 🙂
Ah! I forgot about this challenge! Penciling it into my google calendar…and really, what better time than a hurricane-d in weekend to bake some cupcakes!
If only I could tell my younger self so many things…great letter. Great cupcakes! (Ironically, i hate hostess cupcakes just about every day in high school.)
Oh I know! Here's hoping your power doesn't go out 🙂 Thanks, Joanne!
What a wonderful post! Those cupcakes look fauxing good!
Thank ya 🙂
A fabulous post. Though am not a teacher by profession, I can take a few of these lessons myself.
Thank you, Anita 🙂
Wow…that was a great post. I wish every parent and teacher couLdreqd this. We all forget from time to time what teachers really are to the kids. Parents support your teachers so they can provide so much more to your child
Thank you, Stacey!! 🙂
As a second-year teacher with year two, week one, just checked off my list, this post really resonated!
Thank you! Good luck this year!!
I love love love this post. LOVE.
Thank you, Karly!! 🙂
Ms. Ruble,
You are an amazing teacher that goes well out of your way to make sure that we are the best students that we can possibly be. You have taught me more than just how to write an essay, you have also taught me how to work hard and enjoy the rewards of working hard.
Aww, thank you, Ava! What a sweet note to read this morning! I can't wait to start another year with such amazing students — you guys do all the hard work in becoming fantastic people. I just get to stand back and watch 🙂
Awesome post. I love the presentation of the cupcakes as well. And I'm SURE they're much healthier than the "original" version!
Thank you 🙂
Julie, I stumbled onto your blog through foodpress.com (at the title of this post. Couldn't resist!) and what I found, instead of just a recipe, was some serious, major-league encouragement. I am a second-year science teacher living abroad and am often plagued by a lot of the things you addressed here, especially the big one: "Does what I'm teaching them matter in the long run?" I've recently been through a family tragedy, and at a time when there is something weighing so heavily on my soul, it's hard not to let that bleed into the other parts of my life including my job confidence. Your post was a breath of fresh air. Thanks for posting such lovely words.
Aw, you have no idea how happy this makes me to hear! I know just what you mean about letting life troubles shake your job confidence — it's probably not anywhere near the same extent, but I fell very ill my first year of teaching and it demolished my morale. Even once I was better, I WASN'T better, if you know what I mean. Be kind to yourself — you deserve to recover! I know you're a blessing to your students — keep reminding yourself of it! *big e-hug*
after having a bad start to the day, personally, my friend sent me your link. this has lifted me up to re-evaluate a really appreciate my students. They are the reason i love this job and why i come to work. I each day and i especially love the part where you point out that they wont remember everything! – I am a beginning teacher and this has helped me a lot. Thank you
Gemma, I'm so glad to hear it!! They will definitely remember that you LOVED and cared about them above all else — mistakes fall by the wayside, especially if you are honest and authentic about them. At least that's been my experience! I'm so glad we can support one another!
I think every new teacher, old teacher, parent should get this letter. Thanks for sharing!
I wanted to say also that this serves as a reminder to me that we all are not who we were 5, 6 years ago. Sometimes I forget this when talking to people I found difficult to be around in the past. Thanks for the reminder.
I wish we could really send letters back to ourselves to try to learn the things we should know. This is a beautiful letter to your new teaching self. And these cupcakes are beautiful too! Such a classic dessert! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, love!

Device Connectivity Technology
We are living in the epoch of great technical progress and we are sure that new technologies are our future. You know that computers are being applied in all spheres of society. It is a tremendous achievement of mankind. It is totally safe for environment and for the people, it runs with electricity. The most important thing is that the computer technology has great perspectives for further development and it could be called a panacea for humanity. It seems that computer is such a revolutionary invention that we could not even realize the true extent of its significance. Some people are even afraid of such rapid and striking computer expansion; they state that mankind is in danger because of it. Their main argument is the problem of artificial intelligence. But we hope that all these problems will disappear soon.

Overcoming vertigo — and countless injuries which have left him officially disabled — the 'Human Spider' has scaled nearly 100 skyscrapers worldwide: from the Petronas Towers in Malaysia to Taipei 101, from Chicago's Sears Tower to the Golden Gate Bridge. Reward and punishment have been received in equal measure — the flamboyant Frenchman has gained international fame and raised thousands of dollars for charity, but has also been arrested, beaten and prosecuted.
Many people ask whether it is madness to undertake such perilous ascents without the use of safety equipment. But in Alain's view, it is madness not to follow your dreams! This is the inspiring story of a man who has conquered fear and exceeded his own limits: the world's greatest urban climber.

Celebrated Prague artist to exhibit in Australia for the first time at Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi 2014
Travelling all the way from Prague, David ?erný's internationally renowned and much loved fibreglass, Babies will be installed and unveiled at Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi on Friday October 31 at Marks Park.
With each figure 2.4 metres high and over 3 metres long, these figurative pieces are striking in size and form and will be a definite hit with the general public for their personality and flair.
This is the first time the celebrated artist from Prague has exhibited in Australia. ?erný's Babies project, were first presented in 1994 at the Chicago Museum of Modern Art, followed by appearances in various other major cities including London. The Tower Babies crawling up one of the Prague's most prominent landmarks the Žižkov TV Tower are without a doubt the most visible and highly recognised sculptures in this series of work. A Czech sculptor, David ?erný is well known for his controversial and flamboyant sculptural works including painting the Prague memorial Russian tank bubble-gum pink shortly after the revolution in what was then Czechoslovakia; and his full scale double-decker London bus doing push-ups during the London Olympics.
"It is wonderful to have 'The Babies' in Sydney, overlooking Bondi beach", says David Handley, Founding Director of the exhibition.
"Ever since David shot to fame with his pink tank we've wanted him to exhibit his work at Bondi. The moment 'The Babies' arrived on site they've seemed intriguing to passers-by and brought a smile to many a face."
"Due to a delay with European customs and then the storms at sea, the arrival of the Babies has been delayed until today."
Sculpture by the Sea hope for David ?erný to be a visiting artist of the exhibition in the next year or two.
For more information about Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi or photo opportunities and interviews please contact:

How to Sew a Ruffle pillow with Ruffle Fabric
Here's how to do it.
1. decide the size you want your pillow
2. You will need to cut a total of 3 pieces of fabric. For a Euro pillow sham I cut the front piece 27 inches square, 1 back piece I cut 27x13 inches, and the other I cut 27x20 inches. That way you can have an envelope type place to stuff your pillow into.
3. Make sure to cut your fabric 1 inch bigger all the way around from the size of pillow you are wanting. The coral pillow I did ruffle fabric front and back.
4. Pin the front and back pieces into place with the right sides touching.
5. Sew around the perimeter. I like to use my walking foot when I sew with ruffle fabric. It seems to stretch a lot and the walking foot helps to prevent the stretching while sewing.
6. Clip the corners of the pillow so that when you turn it right sides out the corners look better.
7. Turn the pillow right side out and check to make sure that all your ruffles stayed in the right spot. If not, then unpick that spot and sew it again. I swear that every pillow I make I end up unpicking a couple ruffles :)
8. Put your pillow into the pillow sham and ENJOY!
If you don't want to make your own pillow you can purchase them here on A Vision to Remember on Etsy

Strom can ramp up its LNG export to the Gulf from Crystal River an order of magnitude with its initial units, and then add more units, all without any further approval by anybody, says this Order from the U.S. DoE Office of Fossil Energy, which also appears to permit bomb trains shipping LNG anywhere in Florida, or maybe even other states, with some of the fracked methane probably coming from Sabal Trail if built. This FE Order was issued 21 October 2014, one month to the day before Sabal Trail filed in the FERC formal process in 21 November 2014. Yet not a word was said about Strom or any other LNG export by FERC or Sabal Trail in any of the FERC Scoping Meetings I went to, as I pointed out at the one 1 October 2015 in Lake City, Florida.
FE is even more a rubberstamp regulatory-captured lapdog of the fossil fuel industry than is FERC, and Strom is setting up to require no further approvals by them or anybody else: Continue reading Strom Crystal River LNG export approval 2014-10-21

Well, I know Mother's Day is a over a month away but I wanted to get ahead on some projects.
I have used the Delightful Dahlia stamp set from PTI. I did break out my embossing powder and my Stargazers Watercolor Palette. I have forgotten how amazing the color is with these! I tried to capture the shimmer of these paints in the photo.
Here are the close-up shot of the flower colored with the Stargazers Watercolor Palette.
Can you see the shimmer these paints give off? These work best if you've embossed your image first so that your paints don't run everywhere. The flower really does match the ribbon and ink fairly well!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
{Happy Mother's Day}
All supplies PTI unless stated.
Stamps: Delightful Dahlia, Distressed Stripes
Paper: Hawaiian Shores, Plum Pudding, misc. white
Ink: Versamark, Violete Palette, True Black, Tea Dye Duo
Misc: Black embossing powder (Stampendous), heat gun, Plum Pudding saddle stitch ribbon, Apron Lace border punch (Fiskars), pop dots, Stargazers Watercolor Palette (US ArtQuest), Delightful Dahlia dies

News Phlash for Phishers: Grammar are Critical if You Want to Stealing from People
"Oh no, not again!" It looks like another one of my non-existent bank accounts has been blocked at Bank of America. But that's cool, because I like, totally graduated from third grade. Knowing best for all grammar and words in email. Let's examine yet another idiotic phishing attempt, shall we? First, let's have a look at the full-meal deal (sans bank logos, links, and other forged minutia):
From : email@example.com
Date : Wednesday, November 07, 2007 6:19 AM
To : none
Subject : Online Banking Alert
Your Online Banking is Blocked
Because of unusual number of invalid login attempts on you account,
we had to believe that, their might be some security problem on you
account. So we have decided to put an extra verification process to
ensure your identity and your account security. Please click on
sign in to Online Banking to continue to the verification process
and ensure your account security. It is all about your security.
Thank you, and visit the customer service section.
Yes indeed, another amazingly pathetic phishing attempt. To quote an old intergalactic smuggler:
"What an incredible smell you've discovered.."
First of all, it needs to be said that, especially in our modern, "phishing-aware" world, it is absolutely critical for would-be phishers to comprehend thoroughly the language in which their bait will be delivered. This is especially true when it comes to the emulation of formal communication from legitimate business establishments such as banks, online shops, and governmental offices.
As professional business institutions, these organizations place great importance on public communication. They employ college graduates to fashion grammatically correct emails, form letters, and other critical correspondence. The writers of formal business documents are careful to capture that subtle tone of professional, authoritative confidence, harmonizing each communicative effort with an unmistakable, universally resonating corporate lingo. Further, the crafting and delivery of these messages have been practiced and refined throughout centuries of capitalistic enterprise and governmental bureaucracy, familiarizing masses of consumers worldwide with a distinctly formal tone of legitimate information.
In fact, people have become so familiar with this standardized, uniformly employed communicative format, that suspicion arises with even the slightest hint of artificiality. Indeed, for many people, even the most subtle discrepancy in the rhythmic nuances of a supposedly legitimate email immediately implies fraud.
Especially in our modern world, where cyber-crime is at an all-time high, businesses place an enormous deal of importance on all of their official correspondence, email or otherwise. Every jot and tittle is absolutely critical to produce a convincing message — don't even think about phishing if you can't even manage some basic grammar.
Nonetheless, if a firm grasp of the native language proves impossible, and the subtle nuances of standard business lingo remain elusive, then the best you scum-sucking cyber-criminals can do involves avoiding some of the more obvious mistakes while creating your next masterpiece. You know the ones: mistakes that make you go "hmmm.." Here is a short list of some key areas that need addressed during your next phabulous phishing adventure:
Banks address their customers by name
Check out the "To :" field in the email header shown above. What does that say? It says: "none." As if to imply that the "Abuse" department of a major banking institution would actually send me a highly confidential email concerning my account security and verification without addressing me by name. This is such a brain-dead giveaway that it is hard to even imagine. Of course, the reason phishers use the term "none" is because it is less obvious than using an incorrect name, which would be even more of a dead giveaway.
Banks are professional organizations, not mercenaries
Here's a tip: banks don't send this type of correspondence to their customers, and if they do, they generally open with a formal greeting of some sort, or, at the very least, address you by name. What they do not do is slap you upside the head with gestapo-like warnings such as "Your Online Banking is Blocked." Give me a break. Instead, banks and other business institutions actually value their customer's business and are fully aware of scare-tactic phishing tricks such as attempts to "scare" the victim into action.
Basic grammar are critical if you want to stealing from people
Forget tone. Forget subtle rhythmic nuances, iambic pentameter and all of that. Instead, let's just focus on the basics, shall we? Examining the email presented above, here are a few quick pointers for you:
- "Because of unusual number" » ..um, yeah. What are we, cavemen or something?
- "attempts on you account".. » okay, obviously, "your" not know "you" pronouns
- "we had to believe that, their might be some security problem on you account." » ..yikes, that's just hideous.
Wrapping up then, if this phishing critique seems a little harsh, just wait until the next one. The stinking holes that perpetuate this idiocy deserve far worse than delivered via this paltry post. Unfortunately, despite the obviousness of such pathetic phishing attempts, there are people out there in the far corners of cyberspace who actually fall prey to such mindless deception. Hopefully, silly articles such as this will help spread the word about the ridiculous nature of these phoolish phollies.

Always we are following a light,
Always the light recedes; with groping hands
We stretch toward this glory, while the lands
We journey through are hidden from our sight
Dim and mysterious, folded deep in night,
We care not, all our utmost need demands
Is but the light, the light! So still it stands
Surely our own if we exert our might.
Fool! Never can'st thou grasp this fleeting gleam,
Its glowing flame would die if it were caught,
Its value is that it doth always seem
But just a little farther on. Distraught,
But lighted ever onward, we are brought
Upon our way unknowing, in a dream.

Home > Resources > Blood pressure lookup > 301/142
According to the American Heart Association, a blood pressure reading of 301/142 would be considered hypertensive crisis. A hypertensive crisis happens when the systolic reading (the top number) is higher than 180 and/or the diastolic reading (the bottom number) is higher than 120.
Okay, now you know how to classify a blood pressure of 301/142, but now what do you do with that information? Read on to learn more or look up another blood pressure reading.
According to the American Heart Association, a normal blood pressure reading is lower than 120/80. While there is no specific number for low blood pressure, most experts say blood pressure is too low when it causes symptoms or drops suddenly. In general, though, low blood pressure can be considered anything under 90/60.
A blood pressure reading of 301/142 is pronounced "301 over 142." You may also see it written colloquially as 301/142 bp.
In a blood pressure reading of 301/142, 301 is called the systolic number and 142 is called the diastolic number. Systolic refers to the part of the cardiac cycle in which the heart contracts and pumps blood from the chambers into the arteries, and diastolic refers to the part of the cardiac cycle in which the heart relaxes and allows the chambers to fill with blood. You may also hear the systolic and diastolic numbers referred to as the top number and the bottom number.
Systolic and diastolic readings are measured in mmHg, which is a unit of pressure equal to the pressure that can support a column of mercury 1 millimeter high. Hg is the chemical symbol for mercury. For a blood pressure reading of 301/142, you would pronounce it "301 over 142 millimeters of mercury."
In a doctor's office, blood pressure is traditionally taken manually by a doctor or nurse with a sphygmomanometer. A sphygmomanometer is a medical instrument with an inflatable cuff and pressure meter or dial. The sphygmomanometer is placed snugly around the upper arm and is inflated by hand, and the doctor or nurse listens to the brachial artery with a stethoscope as they gradually reduce the pressure of the cuff. When the whooshing sound of blood is first heard through the stethoscope, the doctor or nurse makes note of the reading on the pressure meter. This indicates the systolic blood pressure reading. When the sound disappears, the reading on the pressure meter indicates the diastolic pressure reading.
Blood pressure can also be taken at home using a number of a digital devices. They typically consist of an inflatable cuff and digital display and simply work by placing the cuff around the upper arm and pressing a button, after which the cuff inflatess, deflates, and displays a reading. The most popular blood pressure machines for home use are made by Omron, Beurer, and Paramed, amongst many others.
One thing to keep in mind is that blood pressure can vary by time of day and activity level, so if you're taking it at home it's important to check it around the same time each day and rest for a few minutes ahead of time to limit as many variables as possible. It can also be affected by eating.
Blood pressure tends to rise in the hours before waking and then drop in the afternoon and evening before dropping to its lowest point while sleeping, so one popular recommendation is to check it just after waking up and just before bed to identify trends in how it varies from morning until night. Because of this, you might find that if your blood pressure is 301/142 in the morning, it might be lower before bed, and vice versa. Of course, these are just general rules of thumb and may vary by the individual.
If you have an HSA as part of your health insurance plan, you'll be pleased to find that blood pressure monitors, blood pressure cuffs, and wrist blood pressure monitors are all eligible, including smart blood pressure monitors like the offerings from Qardio and Withings.
Sphygmomanometer is pronounced sfig-moh-muh-'nah-mi-ter. Easy!
The following table shows related blood pressure readings because sometimes just one number can make all the difference.
Please note that if a field is blank, it's not an accident—it simply means a record doesn't exist for that particular blood pressure. This could be because going forward or backward would create a blood pressure reading that wouldn't make sense, or because that blood pressure simply doesn't exist in our records.

Just like the political theorists and philosophers (Baudrillard, Foucault, Derrida, Debord and so on) we also managed with a sort of self fulfilling prophecy. A manifestation of an idea to a concrete action. When Quilapayuns in 1972 realized the importance of widening their spectrum of action by dividing the band into five different sections to be able to spread their ideas on as many locations and to as many people as possible they had realized the principle of collective massorganization. A division into five new directions means in practice five new projects that can challenge and fight the boredom and death that sneaks into our everyday life. Five new ways to make the political manifesto that once was known under the collective spanner of "" concrete, five new forces that can devour and choke every tendency of the bourgeoisie shackle that keeps us down.
So why does Refused have to die to be able to rise from the ashes like the Fenix??? It is impossible to take part of a revolutionary program when every aspect of existence has to be projected as entertainment and music, a tradition that both in expression and creation has been dead for far too long. We were hoping that we could be the final nail in the coffin of the rotten cadaver that was popular music, but unfortunately the reification was too big for us to succeed with our feeble attempts to detour this boring discourse.When every expression, no matter how radical it is, can be transformed into a commodity and be bought or sold like cheap soda, how is it then possible that you are going to be able to take "art" seriously? When every political idea has to become safe and categorized just so that it can be defined by disgusting "journalists" who's only aim is the selling of issues and the cashing in of paychecks, how can we then show the seriousness of the situation? When the single purpose of every song written is to accumulate capital for the record companies that will only kill every attempt at spontaneity and creativity, how are we then expected to create? When every show played just becomes another brick in the wall between people, between "fans" and "stars", when we instead of getting communication and interaction are being forced to become nothing but consumers and producers. When people are being praised as geniuses and idols just because they play music or write books or something equally boring and "cultural", when the widespread belief that their creation is more important than that people take part in everyday life...What does that say about the rest of us and what does it say about the system that we have? When we continue to uphold the bourgeoisie myth of self realization by saying that anyone can make it, just as long as they work hard, or pick up a guitar, we uphold the dream of good vs. bad jobs (rockstar = good, factory worker = bad) thus we also uphold the class system and the justification of it. When the self appointed elite talks about culture, the culture that tricks us into believing that there is such a thing as culture, without any thought or consideration of the political or economical system. When we become just another subculture with all the right attributes instead of a real counter-culture, then it is time to die, to revalue the position that we are in.
Refused "broke up" on the 26th of September 1998 in Atlanta, Georgia, and in a last feeble attempt to break the linear timeline that the modern ways of production has forced upon us we played the last show in Harrisonburg, Virginia on the 6th of October 1998. The show was interrupted after 4 songs by the local policeforce who thought that they've had enough. We knew that they were onto us but it was both a chock and a relief that they did not catch us until the last show. Then, after 7 years of trying, we finally managed to create our own timespace within the capitalist powerstructure. The crowd managed to manifest a moment of passionate living when they continued to scream "rather be alive..." to the corrupt and useless preservers of private property.
So what now??? We will continue to, at every attempt, overthrow the class system, burn museums and to strangle the great lie that we call culture. We will continue with new projects and forces to do everything that is in our power to overthrow the capitalist structure that alienates us from every aspect of life and living, smash the reification that forces us to dress in outdated identities and rules: we will continue to demand revolution here and now, and not in some vague future that all reactionary leftist fundamentalists and reformists are talking about. We want every day and every action to be a manifestation of love, joy, confusion and revolt. This is the last that we have to say about it, WE WILL NOT GIVE INTERVIEWS TO STUPID REPORTERS who still haven't got anything of what we are all about, we will never play together again and we will never try to glorify or celebrate what was. All that we have to say has been said here or in our music/manifestos/lyrics and if that is not enough you are not likely to get it anyway. WE THEREFORE DEMAND THAT EVERY NEWSPAPER BURN ALL THEIR PHOTOS OF REFUSED so that we will no longer be tortured with memories of a time gone by and the mythmaking that single-minded and incompetent journalism offers us. Instead we need to look forward. We got everything to win and nothing but our boredom to lose.
REFUSED ARE DEAD - LONG LIVE REFUSED Refused's final communiquè...

I Had Terrible Insomnia. Here Are The Things That Actually Helped (And What Made It Worse)
"In my bedroom, I can hear my neighbor's small dog barking, the bleating horn of tugboats on the East River, the wail of ambulance sirens and the constant drone of the freeway a block away. While most blackout curtains muffle sound, the pair I got, from a brand called Moondream has an extra layer to really reduce the decibels that come through the window. They make my room feel so much more serene, and I'm no longer jolted awake in the middle of the night by an errant car horn."

"Our top pick for some of the best sound blocking curtains is these amazing Moondream Soundproof Curtains. These curtains have it all. They come in a variety of colors - white, beige, Darjeeling, eggshell, dark beige, chocolate brown, long brown, ash grey, cloud grey, pepper, garnet, and morello cherry.

Moondream Soundproof Curtain Review – Transform your Home into a Sanctuary

Moondream Soundproof Curtains do a lot more than just muffle noise, they create luxurious sanctuaries. They enhance the quality of one's life. And that's what makes them a game changer."
Moondream: The French Curtain Conquers American Bedrooms
"Americans are increasingly receptive to the discourse of well-being, to the need to sleep well and to protect ourselves from external aggression, which we offer... We have discovered an extraordinary fabric that makes it possible to achieve complete darkness. From that, we invested in R&D, worked with textile engineers and sociologists to understand and anticipate the demands. Today, we offer curtains that offer protection from light, cold, heat and sound as well as electromagnetic field shielding."

A Devil in Disguise
25 comments:
7:15 "zionism is only around 100 years old" ...
i think zionism has to be defined more clearly.
"The Jews have not changed since the days when Jesus Christ took up a whip and drove "the money changers out of the Temple." Jews have always united to form monopolies"
^documentary the money changers is excellent it details how jews have been in control of manipulating currency for thousands of years. - June 27, 2012 at 3:50 AM
- Eric Dubay said...
Good point. Judaism has certainly been a vehicle of Zionist-like ideals since long before the current Zionist movement began.
- June 27, 2012 at 4:24 AM
George Washington had this to say about the jews, many of the founding fathers wanted the constitution to specifically keep jews out of the country because of there long history of currency manipulation.
"For over 1700 hundred years, the Jews have been bewailing their sad fate in that they have been exiled from their homeland, as they call Palestine. But, gentlemen, did the world give it to them in fee simple, they would at once find some reason for not returning. Why? Because they are vampires, and vampires do not live on vampires. They cannot live only amongst themselves. They must subsist on Christians and other people not of their race. If you do not exclude them from these United States in the Constitution, in less than 200 years they will have swarmed here in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land, and change our form of government, for which we Americans have shed our blood, given our lives, our substance, and jeopardized our liberty"
looks like a pretty accurate prediction. - June 27, 2012 at 8:55 AM
What about those people who say that there is something beyond the Jews who are allegedly controlling the entire world?
What if Zionism is itself but a puppet being pulled by other forces? - June 27, 2012 at 11:20 AM
- Eric Dubay said...
Great quote, I hadn't come across that one before. "Something beyond the Jews?" And who is that?
- June 27, 2012 at 5:02 PM
@ Eric -
"something beyond the Jews" - Jews are only the tip of the iceberg. They are a scapegoat - there is another master - a far more sinister and insidious cabalistic mind at work.
Just a hint. - June 27, 2012 at 8:24 PM

i agree about something beyond the jews. There are three layers under the elite, the poor, the middle class and the rich.
who knows the levels of the elite it could be 10 levels, with masons on the bottom, jews above, zionist above that etc, and for all we know it could be one single person on the very top of the capstone pulling all the strings.
i mean Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is on the zionist owned tv stations saying whipe out all the zionist on the planet, but then hes giving the same gang signs as George Bush, Ron Paul and everyone else... Deception and confusion is there weapon of choice in the silent wars, we can try all day to connect the dots but i think leaders at the very top of the capstone have done a good job of hiding there tracks behind groups of groups of groups.
The complete stone cold morons of the general public will blame the republicans or the demacrats. People thinking a level above might blame all government, and find it disturbing that masons are running against masons in elections, they will blame the masons or illuminati. People even better at connecting dots will be led to blame, the jews, the zionist, the bankers. If there is a group controlling this group i'm sure we are going to have a hard time just doing a google search and finding there name...
You can watch history channel and learn about masons, you can go on the internet and find info about zionism or the founding fathers doging jews, but i doubt the group that controls these groups can be smoked out as easily by us clicking around on the web, after all they invented this shit and decided when to let us use it.
One aspect of this that im not sure about is how the chinese fit into things, i have heard about asian sercret societys trying to undermine the other secret societys but i really have no clue about where asia fits in to the NWO.
At the end of the day though we need to smoke out each group and non complay/revolt and keep repeating that untill the world is a better place. - June 28, 2012 at 12:00 PM
- Eric Dubay said...
More good points Goskinsgo. My problem isn't with the idea of someone/thing above the Zionists, but rather with the "anonymous" commenter (yes I know who you are) who constantly pretends like he knows something we don't know and gives little hints, trying to get us to bite, so he can rehash the same Bryan Kemilla crap which I've debunked to no end.

As for Chinese secret societies, Ben Fulford has been going on for years about these million Asian assassins who will start capping some Rothschilds IF they put their depopulation plans into effect. My question since the first time he mentioned this was... IF??? What do you mean IF? And since then, years of fluoride, vaccines, chemtrails, wars, engineered viruses etc. have continued the NWO depopulation program and I haven't seen a single Chinese assassin taking out any Rothschilds. There's quite a bit of evidence that Benjamin Fulford is controlled opposition. He's always coming up with these supposed "cure-all" feel-good solutions for the NWO that never pan out. I don't put much stock in what he says.

hi eric,
i am a hindu from calicut, india.
the king of calicut gave refuge to thousands of jews who landed by ship at calicut, after they got on the wrong side or romans emperors titus and hadrian.
these jews left india only 40 years ago, for their homeland ( sic!) of milk and honey , israel. they were given financial incentives to immigrate, as these refugees were NEVER EVER troubled by the hindus.
as such a hindu is a jew's best friend.
i have seen these kerala jews and they do NOT look like the current israeli citizen, who are from the georgia area -- pretending to be ex-palestinians.
DNA tests do NOT lie.
it is a disgrace , they put RESPECT logos every where , they talk about shunning racism etc.
but what is happening in palestine today?
the zionist rothschild controlled media blacks it out.
punch into google search --

i just wonder if the zionoist/nwo are going to take out all the goyim, i imagine that the asian goyim will be the hardest to take out for many reasons. You see everyone making the same gang signs but i haven't seen many asians making the devil horns gang signs or have affiliations to masonry etc. I'd love to believe china and other asian countrys are on top of this, i know china is one of the very few countrys that encourages its citizens to buy gold and silver. Meanwhile you have the US that encourages its citizens to spend more and save dollars... But i wonder why china wouldn't try to publicly call out the secret societies or do something to show the masses how/why they are being manipulated and buy who.
i guess the chinese do say many critical things of american policy that can undermine the ptb's efforts and since i dont speak chinese i guess i only see what the zionist owned stations allow me to hear of what china is realy saying, maybe they are being critical calling out zionist but it never makes the news... - June 29, 2012 at 12:22 PM
A great documentary indeed.
Trying to find who is at the top of the pyramid is not something easily done for sure. But we we all now that whoever may be at the top he/she/they have been all manipulated, been used as puppets and are all ultimately losers!
What makes him/her/them a loser just like everybody under him/her/them? It is because everyone of them have sold themselves to the Great Evil.
A modern life is a real struggle even without financial necessities. In every second of of our lives we are attracted to do something we would never think of doing in our original state of mind - of an innocent child.
Let's go back to how we have all been born - an innocence. It won't be easy, we may live much poorer than we could live otherwise, we may even put our lives in danger. But for sure, there is only one right direction in life and it is usually the difficult one. You don't have to become a professor to find out - every little child knows it.
That's what has been fought for since the beginning of all time - our soul & spirit. Let the true spirit of mankind be victorious in the battle for our own souls, the souls of our children and beyond.
Let's stay true to ourselves! - June 29, 2012 at 5:57 PM
Brit-ish is a compound of two Hebrew words, meaning the covenant of man. Britain is not a country (the countries are England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland). Etymology dictionaries trace the origin on Britain to the 13th century, about 150 years after the Norman (Norsemen) conquest. That the name of the island is Hebrew, and that this is virtually unknown by the inhabitants, may tell you a lot about who really runs the place, and how.
The USA in Hebrew is Artsot haBrit, the land of the covenant. It's "founders" were freemasons who trace their spiritual origins to the builders of Solomon's temple, and who see the restoration of Jerusalem as a major goal of their organization. Much like the Mormons they consider themselves spiritually Israelites.
There seems to be substantial evidence that both the British and American empires are merely the puppets of a hidden Zionist empire.

Awesome Nimbsky, thanks.

Ah, I need to make stupid corrections. I'm a little red faced:
Northern Ireland isn't part of Britain, but it is part of the UK. Britain is England, Scotland and Wales. Also the Norman conquest was in 1066, at least 250 years before etymologists locate the origins of Britain.
Such are the perils of instant comments. Still, I hope you find the main point of previous comment, that the word British is Hebrew in origin as interesting as I do.

something interesting that reminded me of this.
The great chess player Bobby Fischer eventually went a little crazy in his old age, but he went on a bunch of anti semetic tirades when he was older, he was dead on about many things like jews controlling the media and financial systems, but then he went completely over board attacking any jew he came across.
He also celebrated 911 and nobody had to give him any candy, he was a highly intelligent person and connected the dots to the jews but failed to realize not every jewish person on the planet is a evil zionist.
and this is why they can so successfully hide behind a religious group because even when they are outted the person outting them is percieved as out of touch, crazy, or evil themselves. - July 1, 2012 at 4:55 AM
I think that Bobby Fischer understood the symbology of the chess knight with it's double (really full) swastika move pattern. It's the only piece on the board that moves in a crooked line (in fact in hooks) and the only piece that can leap, both of which make it difficult to predict.
Psychologists often ascribe knight's move thinking to schizophrenics and psychopaths who can unexpectedly switch character, disconcerting and wrong footing others who are taken by surprise. Conmen and politicians are also famed knight's movers. But it's the secret society, papal and royal knights that the chess knight truly symbolizes.
I think Fisher understood a knight's move when he saw it off the board, not just on. And if you understand the knight's move it doesn't take long to start figuring things out.
If I've made lots of errors in this post too, please forgive me, I have a terrible flu at the moment.

Thanks for the post and the very interesting comments. I was curious, after hearing a few other conspiracy theorists defamed; what do you think of David Icke, Eric?

I have a whole section on him here. Like all controlled opposition, I agree with about 90% of what he says until he starts talking about alien shape shifting royal reptilian-human hybrids from the hollow moon base (meanwhile almost never mentioning the Jewish elephant in the room). He also never mentions the Moon Landing Hoax but wrote a whole book about NASA secretly finding aliens on the moon who control the human race through mind control beams (I'm not making this up, his latest book is all about it).

Hi Eric,
I think Anonymous may be referring to those who consider the possibility that the Zionist Cult [TPTB, Illuminati or whoever] is being manipulated through psychic control or possession, from another dimension or plane like David Icke's Reptilian agenda or John Keel's Ultra-terrestrials. - March 22, 2013 at 7:58 AM
asia has their own NWO. There are three major and competing groups. The Caucasian US/Western Europe NWO, the Russian group, and then an Asian Chinese based group.

I respectfully disagree that the name Britain first originated from a Hebrew word in the late Middle Ages because Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote the History of the Kings of England about the twelfth century if I recall correctly and Nennius wrote his Chronicle about the eighth century. Nennius traces English genealogy back to Japheth and Noah, and both of these histories say that Britain was founded by a Trojan named Brutus shortly About 1100 years before Christ or about 100 years after the Trojans were defeated by the Greeks which was approximately the time that Samuel was priest in Israel.

Love your videos wondering if you could also unlock the true tribe of Israel that lines up with the bible and slavery of the Jews why does the pope pray to a black Mary and a black baby Jesus and everyone in the world a white Jesus with long hair and blue eyes, why did the priest pray over black slaves before putting them on a ship why is the black Ethiopian is accepted to Israel as Jews but not other black people? Why is the Ethiopians are all blacks but in history portray a European image of these people? Why is some black Africans are Jews? Why some parts of Africa speak the same almost Identical Hebrew language

There is wild disagreement about what is causing it, but what most people can agree on is that there is something fundamentally wrong with America. The fabric of American society just does not seem to be as strong as it used to. In fact, many would argue that society is coming apart at the seams. Corruption and decay seem to be everywhere. I spend a lot of time in my other articles blaming a lot of this corruption and decay on politicians, bureaucrats and business leaders, but the reality is that they are only part of the story.
The truth is that those who are leading us are a reflection of what we have become as a nation. If you got rid of all of our corrupt leaders that would not suddenly "fix" this country. Millions of ordinary Americans have become deeply corrupt as well. The kinds of things that you are about to read about below were very rare in past generations. Society is falling apart all around us and we haven't even seen the complete collapse of the U.S. economy yet.
A lot of people like to blame the increasingly bizarre behavior of the American people on the economy, but the reality is that things are not nearly as bad as they are eventually going to be. Yes, the U.S. "Misery Index" recently hit a 28 year high. Tens of millions of American families are deeply suffering. Unemployment is rampant and unprecedented numbers of Americans have been getting kicked out of their homes.
But that is nothing compared to what is coming.
So what is America going to look like when true economic suffering comes along?
That is something to think about.
A lot of the items in the list below may seem easy to dismiss as "isolated incidents". But when you start examining patterns of behavior over an extended period of time, certain trends begin to emerge. America is become a very cruel place. The love of most people seems to be growing cold. What some people are willing to do for a little bit of money or just because someone has "pissed them off" is absolutely stunning.
The America of today is fundamentally different from the America of past generations.
We have changed, and not for the better.
The following are 20 signs that the fabric of American society is coming apart at the seams.....
#1 A 17-year-old Florida teen is being accused of killing his parents with a hammer, hiding their bodies in the master bedroom, and then inviting dozens of people over for a massive house party.
#2 What is it with 17-year-olds? Another 17-year-old has been charged with putting a plastic bag over the head of his mother and choking her to death with a belt. His two brothers just stood by and watched while this happened. Apparently the 17-year-old was infuriated because his mother wanted them to play a game of Yahtzee with her.
#3 The largest school cheating scandal in the history of the United States was recently uncovered in the Atlanta area. Dozens of teachers and principals were involved according to a recently released 413 page report....
More than three quarters of the 56 schools investigated cheated on a 2009 standardized state test, with 178 educators implicated, including 38 principals. Eighty-two teachers confessed to erasing students' answers and correcting tests. The report says widespread cheating has occurred since at least 2001 and that orders to cheat came from the top.#4 A Vancouver, Washington woman has been charged with trying to sell her newborn baby in front of a Taco Bell. Apparently she was hoping to get somewhere between $500 and $5000 for the baby.
#5 In the United States today, if you don't show cops "proper respect" there is a good chance that you are going to get tazed. Just check out this disturbing video of an incident that recently happened in Alabama.
#6 A 48-year-old woman in California was recently arrested after she drugged her husband, chopped off his manhood and threw it into the garbage disposal.
#7 In the Dallas area, five people (including a pregnant woman) were trampled while lying on the ground as thousands of desperate people madly dashed to get into line to get on a waiting list for rental assistance vouchers.
#8 A 35-year-old New York man that has been charged with "kidnapping, killing and dismembering an 8-year-old boy" says that he "hears voices" and he has been ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation.
#9 There has been a rash of car robberies in the Atlanta area recently. Just a couple of nights ago, more than 30 cars were broken into in a single night in south Buckhead.
#10 All over the United States this summer, thieves are stealing just about anything they can get their hands on. People are stealing air conditioners, copper wiring, restaurant furniture, metal drain covers and even hair extensions.
#11 In Woodstock, Georgia a 61-year-old man reportedly promised to give a 17-year-old boy money if he would do certain "things" for the man. Well, it turns out that the 61-year-old man ended up setting the teen on fire....
A 61-year-old man has been arrested on charges of aggravated battery, cruelty to children, false imprisonment, and solicitation of sodomy after he set a 17-year-old boy on fire in Woodstock.#12 In Washington state, a 23-year-old woman is accused of dumping her newborn baby into a trashcan at the hospital. When a nurse finally found the plastic bag with the baby boy inside of it, the child was blue in the face from a lack of oxygen. Fortunately, the baby survived the ordeal.
#13 In another story from Washington state, a man that is being charged with producing child porn is being allowed to watch that porn all he wants while he is in prison because he is acting as his own lawyer and needs to have "access to the evidence"....
So because he's acting as his own lawyer, he gets full access to the evidence against him. Which means that as he prepares for trial, a private room has been set up in the jail where Gilbert can watch the full 30-hour archives of his own child porn collection.#14 The National Retail Federation says that "inventory loss" for retail stores was up 11% last year. Most of the "inventory loss" is attributed to such things as shoplifting and employee theft.
#15 In Minnesota recently, a mob of teen girls brutally pummeled a mother and her two daughters until they were black and blue. Apparently the mob of teen girls was enraged over a pair of missing sunglasses.
#16 One of the hot new trends for young males is to play the "knockout game". In this "game", a group of young men picks out an innocent bystander and the first one to knock that person out is the "winner".
#17 Prior to 2011, most Americans had never even heard of "mob robberies". Today, they have made headline news all over the nation.
#18 In the San Francisco area recently, fire crews and police just stood on the shore and watched as a suicidal 50-year-old man slowly drowned to death in the San Francisco Bay.
#19 Meanwhile, the federal government continues to waste money on some of the most bizarre things imaginable. For example, the federal government actually gave money to the National Institutes of Health to study the effect that the size of "a certain part of the body" has on the sex lives of gay men. Can anyone think of a reason why the federal government would want to throw money away on such frivolous studies when millions of Americans can't even find jobs right now?
#20 Many believe that a big reason for all of this chaos in America today is the decline of the American family. In 1960, married couples accounted for 75 percent of all households in America. Today, they account for just 48 percent of all households.
Whatever your political or religious philosophy is, hopefully you can agree that America is in trouble. Every single day, there are more shocking revelations about the corruption and the decay that are spreading throughout this nation.
Sadly, instead of coming together to work on some solutions to our growing problems, Americans are becoming more divided than ever.
The mainstream media teaches us that our "opponents" are those that belong to political, social or religious groups that are different from our own. They love to divide us and play us off against each other.
Everywhere you look in America, hate is growing.
But hatred is never the answer. Yes, we should always stand up for what we believe is right, but we can do that and still love one another at the same time.
Unfortunately, as America continues to come apart at the seams we are probably going to see this country become even more divided.
United we stand, divided we fall - you make the call America.

(BPT) – We've all been there; 3 p.m. rolls around and suddenly you need a snack. As children, we thrived on snacks, but as we grow older many of us ignore those in-between-meals hunger pangs. We ignore the signals our stomach sends us in an attempt to be healthy. However, healthy snacking not only boasts the metabolism, but keeps cravings for less healthy foods – like that chocolate cake – at bay.
"Snacks help me stay motivated to keep moving throughout the day," says Ilyse Baker, dance and fitness expert to celebrities and creator of the Dancinerate fitness program and videos. "I'm always on the go, so I have smart snack options on hand to keep my energy up between meals."
By following a few simple tips from Baker, you can transform your snacking behavior and even eat more healthfully throughout the day.
* Be prepared. Having a few snack options on hand will help you make smarter decisions once hunger strikes. Slice up vegetables on Sundays to have available throughout the week to eat with hummus. Keep nuts, crackers and trail mix at your desk, in the car and in your gym bag so there is always a healthy snack within reach.
* Choose foods you actually like. It takes a strong person to nibble on nuts day in and day out. By selecting snacks you enjoy, you're more likely to eat them and not be tempted by other, less nutritious options. If you have a sweet tooth, snack on a healthier alternative, like Nonni's THINaddictives. These delicious almond thins are pre-portioned in 100-calorie packs and made with wholesome, antioxidant-rich ingredients like crunchy California almonds, savory pistachios and succulent cranberries. "For a quick snack, eat THINaddictives plain, or add a boost of protein by making a sandwich with a teaspoon of peanut butter and sliced bananas," Baker says.
* Plan your portions. When hunger hits, it's easy to go overboard with the snacks. Look for pre-portioned snacks or portion out your snacks ahead of time. It's a great way to keep you from overindulging, which can lead to weight gain. Individually wrapped snacks are also great on the go alternatives so you're not stuck finding something to nibble on that might not be as nutritious.
* Stop trying to be perfect. Sometimes you really just want to eat that piece of cake. Indulging in your cravings now and then is fine, as long as you don't make a habit of it. If you decide to snack on something less healthy, opt to have a salad for dinner to even out the calories.
Don't let snacking derail your healthy eating goals. By planning ahead and selecting the smart nibble options, you can easily strike a healthful balance that will keep you satisfied while on the go all day long.
