Dream Stealers
by Laury Hubrich
3/26/2008 / Devotionals
I am experiencing a blip on the computer screen -- a momentary tripping up of my faith. At least I hope it only lasts for a moment. If I am able to let my dreams fly away that easily, I must not be as stubborn as I once thought.
Paul wrote a letter to the Ephesians from prison, one of his many from there. How can I complain about my dreams not coming to pass when I think what Paul's dream was. He desired to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles. He wanted to teach us the "unsearchable riches of Christ." Because he was in prison, it didn't mean he let his dream die. Instead, possibly even more came to Christ because of the dream stealers in his life. He let them have no place in his heart.
Joseph had real dream stealers. His brothers sold him because they weren't happy with the dreams he had. Because of that, God worked powerfully in this young man's life to help a whole nation of people to survive. All the dreams he had, God made sure came about for His glory.
And because of the suffering of Jesus, we can "approach God with freedom and confidence." (Eph. 3:12) The world attempted to cut off Jesus's dream, also. He was attacked to the point of death by dream stealers. His dream would not die either. God used those thieves to work about His plan.
My dreams -- they were brutally ripped from me, thrown to the ground, and trampled this morning. The only problem is, I don't think I let go before the demolition. But, I see, the same thing happened to Paul and to Jesus and to Joseph and to so many in the Bible. Why should I be any different? Why should I be immune to life's challenges?
I sent a friend a rather cryptic message about my experience this morning with dream stealers. She e-mailed me this, "your dreams? No.... they are still there, floating about...just waiting for the right time to light on your palm." It makes me cry even now, to read that. It reminds me that one thing can't be taken away from me. The love God has for me and the friends that He so very carefully put into my life.
Paul prayed this prayer just for me, for this time in 2008, and he prayed this prayer for you,
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledgethat you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:17-21 NIV)
And now I stand here, my arm outstretched, palm up, waiting for my dreams to light back on it as I cry out to my Abba Father.

Intel Chief Makes The Penryn Pitch For Servers
Page 1 of 1
SAN FRANCISCO -- Just two months ago at the Intel Developer Forum, CEO Paul Otellini could only tell the assembled how great its new Penryn chip design was going to be, but still had to play a few cards close to his chest in terms of specifics.
Today, with Penryn now out and 12 new high-performance Penryn-based Xeons currently shipping from major OEMs, Otellini gave a full show here at Oracle OpenWorld, complete with the perhaps best demo an OEM partner could hope for: a graceful recovery from failure.
Otellini kicked off the conference's second-day keynote with a quote from architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who once said, "Form and function should be one, joined in spiritual union." That became the theme of his presentation: the increasingly small designs of Intel's chips and their improved function.
"Architects need to be prophets," Otellini told the overflow audience in the Moscone Convention Center. "We need to think today about the products we need to ship many years from now. Work on the hafnium-based processor began in 1996 because we knew silicon dioxide would not scale."
Otellini also got the opportunity to show off the reliability of servers based on the new designs, albeit inadvertently. One of his demos involved pitting a new quad-core Penryn Xeon sever against an older dual-core Xeon-based model. Almost on cue during performance testing, the on-stage server suffered a processor failure -- yet the application being tested showed only a slight dip in performance.
Despite the obvious gaffe, the incident demonstrated that the new Xeon-based server system handled the problem quite gracefully. So did the Intel boss, who laughed it off.
Otellini also seized the opportunity to discuss Intel's efforts to mitigate concern around cooling and power requirements. He cited a commonly repeated stat that for every dollar IT spends on hardware, it spends 50 cents to cool and power that hardware. By 2010, that cost is expected to reach 70 cents, he said -- but added that Intel is working on solutions.
"Focusing on energy efficiency is becoming job one," he said. "That trend clearly can't continue and the cost is quite large."
A second Penryn demo illustrated Intel's efforts in the area, with a new Xeon 5400 delivering 67 percent better performance per watt compared to an older Xeon 5300.
During his talk about power issues, Otellini also welcomed Oracle to the Climate Savers initiative, in which vendors and other parties pledge to a 50 percent reduction of power consumption by computers by 2010. Members include Intel, Google, Microsoft, EDS, HP, IBM, Dell and Lenovo, as well as PG&E, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the World Wildlife Fund.
Oracle Executive Vice President of Customer Services Juergen Rottler took the stage to highlight Oracle's efforts to lead by example in reducing server count, discussing how it had redesigned its Oracle University educational program. The program, which handles up to 350,000 students in 56 countries, reduced its server count by 70 percent, floor space down by 52 percent and power consumption by 47 percent.
Otellini congratulated Rottler on the move, but then wondered aloud, "Having someone drive their servers down 70 percent may be good for the business, but I wonder what it does for mine." The sentiment may have been half-joking, but some industry analysts have made dire predictions about the future of the server market based on such trends.
At any rate and despite the hurdles facing the tech industry, Otellini said he expects continued growth in the consumer market, which he said will surpass IT in terms of user demand and expansion by next year.
For example, by 2010, 70 percent of video on the Web will be user-created, rather than from Hollywood studios, he added.
"As computing becomes cheap, it becomes more pervasive," he said. "Twenty-four/seven computing has become the norm for us and our employees. This is changing the way we operate."

Sandro Magister at his blog Chiesa describes the role of the Pope at the Synod. PopeWatch would very much prefer that Magister's assessment was incorrect, but fears that it is all too correct:
ROME, October 24, 2014 – It is not true that Francis was silent during the two weeks of the synod. In the morning homilies at Saint Martha's, he hammered away every day at the zealots of tradition, those who load unbearable burdens onto men, those who have only certainties and no doubts, the same against whom he lashed out in the farewell address with the synod fathers.
He is anything but impartial, this pope. He wanted the synod to orient the Catholic hierarchy toward a new vision of divorce and homosexuality, and he has succeeded, in spite of the scanty number of votes in favor of the change of course, after two weeks of fiery discussion.
In any case, he will be the one who ultimately decides, he reminded the cardinals and bishops who may have had any doubts. In order to refresh their memory on his "supreme, full, immediate, and universal" power, he brought to the field not a handful of refined passages from "Lumen Gentium," but the rock-solid canons of the code of canon law.
On communion for the divorced and remarried, it is already known how the pope thinks. As archbishop of Buenos Aires, he authorized the "curas villeros," the priests sent to the peripheries, to give communion to all, although four fifths of the couples were not even married. And as pope, by telephone or letter he is not afraid of encouraging some of the faithful who have remarried to receive communion without worrying about it, right away, even without those "penitential paths under the guidance of the diocesan bishop" projected by some at the synod, and without issuing any denials when the news of his actions comes out.
This is one of the ways in which Jorge Mario Bergoglio exercises his absolute powers as head of the Church. And when he pushes the whole of the Catholic hierarchy to follow him on this road, he knows very well that communion for the divorced and remarried, numerically insignificant, is the loophole for a much more generalized and radical sea change, toward that "second possibility of marriage," with the consequent dissolution of the first, which is admitted in the Eastern Orthodox Churches and which he, Francis, just shortly after his election as pope said "must be studied" in the Catholic Church as well, "in the context of pastoral care for marriage."
It was in July of 2013 that the pope made these intentions public. But in that same interview on the plane back from Brazil he opened a construction site on the terrain of homosexuality as well, with that memorable "who am I to judge?" universally interpreted as an absolution of actions that have always been condemned by the Church but no longer are, if they are committed by someone who is "seeking the Lord and has good will."
A turning point on this matter did not have an easy time at the synod. It was invoked in the assembly by no more than three fathers: by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, by the Jesuit Antonio Spadaro, director of "La Civiltà Cattolica," and by the Malaysian archbishop John Ha Tiong Hock.
Hock supported himself with a parallel drawn by Pope Francis between the Church's judgment on slavery and that on the conception that the man of today has of himself, to say that just as the first changed so also the second judgment can mutate.
While Fr. Spadaro brought up the pope's example of a girl adopted by two women to maintain that these situations must be treated in a new and positive way.
Then, for having inserted into the mid-discussion working document three paragraphs encouraging the "affective growth" between two men or two women "integrating the sexual dimension," Archbishop Bruno Forte, brought in as special secretary of the synod at the pope's behest, was publicly disowned by the cardinal relator, the Hungarian Péter Erdõ. And the subsequent discussion among the synod fathers ripped the three paragraphs to shreds, which in the final "Relatio" were reduced to just one without anything new in it, not even reaching a quorum of approval.
But here as well Francis and his lieutenants, from Forte to Spadaro to Argentine archbishop Víctor Manuel Fernández, have hit their target of getting this explosive issue onto the agenda of the Catholic Church, at the highest levels. The result remains to be seen.
Because this is how Bergoglio's revolution proceeds, "long-term, without obsession over immediate results." Because "the important thing is to initiate processes rather than possess spaces." Words from "Evangelii Gaudium," the program of his pontificate.
Assuming for the moment, and PopeWatch is not convinced that this is correct, that the Pope does wish to change Church teaching in reference to communion for remarrieds, whose prior marriages have not been annulled by the Church, and in reference to homosexuality, does the Pope understand that a schism may result from all this? Does the Pope care? PopeWatch hopes that this is not the intention of the Pope. If it is, the Church is in for her greatest period of upheaval since the Reformation.

How To Make Candles: 14 Steps To A Superior Smelling Home
Chandlery was the medieval term for candle-makers, though the word has now been reappropriated to mean any maker of household goods such as soap, oil, or even producers of waxed canvas or ship materials. Chandlers would hand-make candles by the dozen, back when they were the primary source of cheap light, and they didnt require anything more than tallow or beeswax and bits of string to get the job done. The good news is, you dont need much else either, and probably have most of the gear in your home.

Holy Cross Students' Home was opened in 1964 in an old Bungalow. Former Union Minister George Fernandes' family lived here. The current building was inaugurated in January, 1966.
Most of the students those days went to St. Joseph's Arts and Science College which was then across the street. 2 bishops and other eminent people have had their education here.
Since four years it's open to all students. Most of our students attend various St. Joseph's institutions which are 5 minutes walk from here. Many of them also go to "Ashirvad", a Jesuit Center for their food.
The hostel has mostly dormitories with five beds. However, recently we have made partitions for two and three sharing rooms.
Wifi routers, washing machines, irons, drinking water, newspapers, magazines, TV, facilities for indoor and outdoor games are all provided here.
The hub of Bangalore - MG Road/Brigade Rd is only 5 minutes walk from here. We are adjacent to a park with jogging tracks. St. Patrick's Church, shopping, restaurants are all at a stone's throw away distance.
For the Academic Year 2016-17, we are right now full.

Dear person responsible for the camera adding 10 pounds,
Congratulations. The camera is arguably one of the greatest inventions of all time. One that has allowed me to capture and share images of my most cherished moments–looking 10 pounds fatter than I really am. So, to those congratulations I add: You son of a bitch.
Why? Why would you do such a thing? Why would you choose to tarnish, nay ruin, something as beautiful as the lifelong keepsake that is a photograph? Do you get off on being the S in S&M and the humiliation it inflicts on others? Is this some evil ploy to make me stop posing for pictures so that one day you can eventually erase all memory of my existence? Or, as I secretly suspect, is it something so simple, yet conniving, as the fact that, in reality, you're nothing more than a fatty yourself? One who is trying to get even with me (and all the other good looking, properly proportioned people) because we have something you don't: Efficient metabolism.
My therapist says these are paranoid delusions that arise from my self-esteem issues and I'm projecting them onto you. But I'm pretty sure he's lying seeing as how he's a fatty too and doesn't have a single picture of himself, or anyone else for that matter, in his office. When I asked why, he claimed he doesn't need the self-validation. Yet his walls are covered with all his precious degrees and stupid shrink awards. But I digress. This is about you. So let's get back to that.
Now I know what you're probably thinking right now, "Your lighting is bad, the angles are all wrong, and you don't have a steady hand." Blah blubbedy bullshit blah. That's right, you're full of it. I may not be Annie Leibowitz, but I'm pretty sure I turned on the auto flash. And, FYI, my camera has an image stabilization feature. As for shooting from the wrong angle, I don't care where the camera is, if I didn't have a muffin top before the picture, can you kindly explain why I have one after? Ditto for the double chin.
This information probably comes as a shock, seeing as how, when it comes to your precious little invention, chances are you're used to flattery. But the fact remains: The 10 extra pounds you tacked on are not doing me any favours. Although, it should be noted, I don't mind the enhancement it provides to my crotchal region.
Regardless, had you taken a little extra time during the development process, this whole situation could have been avoided. And I wouldn't have had to spend all that time, and money, learning the necessary Photoshop skills required to remove your "additions". But no, all you could think about was yourself. You saw nothing but congratulatory high fives and dollar signs in your future. You never, even for a second, considered the psychological implications those 10 pounds would have on me.
So, you son of a bitch, I can only hope this letter shocks you into action, maybe squeezes a few tears out of your cruel eyes, and helps you see the error of your ways. Then, hopefully, you'll return to the drawing board and find somewhere else to put those 10 useless pounds so I can go back to felling good about myself–and never again hear someone comment on my man boobs.

Trundle beds re not cheap, one need to find a way of selecting a bed that he has enough money to pay. On purchasing daybeds mattress has to be purchased separately. One thus has to ensure he has more to spend on their budget if looking forward to buy a trundle daybeds. Just as normal beds one has to dress it with bed sheets and bedcover. It's time to buy some of the throw cushions to spice up the bedroom as a way of decorating the bed.
Wood Vs. metal:
The choice between the wood and metal frames is not an easy one; they both have advantages and disadvantages. Another way to choose between the metal or wood option is to consider the different styles. Trundle Daybeds frames can be divided up into a further three sections; traditional, contemporary or ornate. The traditional tend to have a sturdy look which is easy to combine with other furniture in a room.
Stylish, safe and secure:
The beds designs are very stylish as they are streamlined on the edges making it safe and secure for kids. The budget may sound unreasonable but the quality is great and long lasting. Many youngsters are going for the daybeds as they can also be used as sits for the new cribs. Though metal trundle bed may not match the classic design of home furniture they are long lasting.

The beds are available in many online and offline stores across the country. Just find best reviews for technicians who implement the beds.

10 Safest Destinations in the World
I believe that nowadays, we pay more attention to safety when choosing destinations to travel. With so many crazy things going on around the world, it's hard not to worry about that. I see this even from ourselves. We have always liked to travel to alternative places and have been to some that if something happened, no one would ever hear from us again!
Yes, I know that it's quite irresponsible. However, over time we mature and see that we have to be a little more careful! Not that we will stop going to these 'unknown' places or off the traditional route (nothing against that also, we love traditional destinations), but safety has become a worldwide problem!
In early April, the World Economic Forum (WEF) released the list of the safest countries in the world. The study assesses various aspects to see if the place is safe for tourism! In this, they analyze the security of the country; health and hygiene; economic situation, if the country prioritizes tourism. They also check it's international openness, infrastructure issues, among others.
I was happy to know that today I live in the safest country in the world and that I already lived in the second one too. Unfortunately, my home country, Brazil ranks 106 out of 136 countries. It's going through many government issues and I couldn't expect less. How is your country ranking at the moment? You can find out here!
Seeing this, I have listed the 10 safest countries for you to put in your bucket list! From this list, I already been to 5 of them and I've been to other 2 airports (if that counts as a small visit LOL)!
Are any of them on your list for your next vacation? By clicking on the names, you will find more information about each place!
The safest destinations in the world follow below!
1. Finland
2. United Arab Emirates
For more information about Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
3. Iceland
4. Oman
5. Hong Kong
6. Singapore
7. Norway
8. Switzerland
9. Rwanda
10. Qatar

text: Your A3C 2011 Day One Recap Day & A Dream Team October 7, 2011 A3C, Concert Reviews, Events 2 Comments If anything was learned from us randomly trekking for about four days in Austin, Texas, it was to simply be prepared to see any and everything, regardless of location. While A3C, the Southeast's biggest hip-hop festival isn't as outrageous as ATX is with SXSW, it does bring in a heap of beautiful women, food and diverse hip-hop. With five stages to cover between a good six hours, the time spent in each either grew due to crowd interaction or shrunk due to the insane number of acts (and aching legs). Without further adieu, here's what went down on day one of A3C. KEVIN NOTTINGHAM STAGE The HipNott Records head honcho and one of the industry's most noted underground hip-hop blogs was first out of the five stages to start the day off. The Nottingham set lived up to its billing as the "Underground Express" with head nodding performances from J-Live, The Artifacts, the beautiful Lyric Jones who makes a cryptic message like "rappers are in danger" look scary given her looks & Rapper Big Pooh who blitzed through a multitude of Little Brother classics as well as some of his solo work. Near the end of his set, Pooh urged the crowd to remember his Dirty Pretty Things album was coming on November 1st, which means buy it and support it however you can. Considering that their stage was near most of the merch tables, it was hard not to pull away something as we kept petitioning for an official A3C fitted for naught. At least we had gorgeous women offering us cupcakes for free. – T. Piper PERFECT ATTENDANCE STAGE To be perfectly honest, Fadia Kader & The Smoking Section have come up with the most split and out there list in terms of acts to grace their stage. Day One was no different as ATL mainstays the Ying Yang Twins closed with a set that composed mostly of their hits from the early aughts. It seemed weird plugging them in alongside a cast of up & comers such as Skewby, XV (who may never be able to shake the damn tag even when he has a track featured on NBA 2K12), Skeme and Marz Lovejoy who made us believers of her solo work (and vibrant performance). The surprise of the night happened to belong to Killer Mike, who pretty much can walk through a venue, get love from everybody and then proceed to rip through a set and nobody will stop him. It was quite surprising watching him give an introduction to a man who went by the name of PK. PK claimed to out rap any rapper in Atlanta, telling fans they could head home after his set and thensome. Audacious and bold, even to the point where he stopped midway through to hit "Gigolo's Get Lonely Too" from Morris Day & The Time. Dallas' 7even:Thirty woke up a sort of listless crowd with a rousing performance, giving way to the likes of GLC, Rockie Fresh & YP. Still, who would be willing to believe the Yang Twins closed a festival stage in 2011? – Brando HIPHOPDX STAGE Sean Price is a bloodletting rap monster from New York City. P doesn't care how you may feel about him (he may as well say it to your face) or your standing in life. His goal is to simply deliver guttural raps with enough comedy behind them that you immediately dip into a scrunch face. Whether it be by his assistance on Gods'illa's "Saviours & Punishers" (they killed by the way) or when he's delivering gully bars with Random Axe, P isn't one to mess around, period. P along with Guilty Simpson & an energetic Black Milk closed out night one of A3C with a rousing performance of their debut album as well as a few solo cuts here and there. Warming up the stage for them was D.R.E.S. Tha Beatnik who at times looked like his job was done for him as a hypeman as fans immediately recognized the next acts. Still, credit to him for making people remember Jay Electronica's "Exhibit C" with vigor & flair. Whether it be by Senor Kaos' bouncy opening or Freeway's elongated set where he pretty much could pick through his catalog and fans would go apeshit (hell even Freddie f*cking Gibbs showed up), HHDX's stage commanded the upstairs portion of Masquerade like a family reunion, which is what most of these festivals feel like to begin with. Except, we need beards to fit in. – T. Piper OUTSIDE PARTICULARS Traveling through Atlanta on random missions can always lead to finding great hangouts. Here's a few we suggest while in Atlanta. – Wish is probably the most stylishly designed shoe store I've seen with a glass floor in the middle and a basement that could double as a cave of sneakers. (447 Moreland Ave NE) – Savage Pizza's layout and comic book atmosphere makes for a geeked out atmosphere where the bathroom is actually recommended. (484 Moreland Ave NE) – The New Era store hosted a mixer and registration but most of the action occurred outside where a gang of artists and various media types found themselves kicking it, including one media personality who said she usually dry humps people for a first impression. How neat. (117 Luckie St) – Brando Share this:TweetShare on Tumblr

How to Choose Freeze Dried Backpacking Food
Of course, everyone's tastes are different, so there's no way of choosing one definitive flavor as the 'best' freeze dried food.
Before we list our highest rated freeze dried products on the market, here are a few key considerations you may want to take into account when choosing the right freeze dried food for you:
While just about anything may sound delicious after a long day on the trail, it's still important to make sure you actually like the food you've packed!
Freeze dried foods are improving in quality all the time, but the textures, tastes, and cooking times can still vary. We always recommend testing your food at home to troubleshoot any problems with cooking and make sure you're going to enjoy your meal after a long day hiking.
While some hikers may be more concerned with the nutritional value and taste of their meals, it's still worth comparing brands and their prices.
Getting enough calories into your body while hiking is absolutely essential to ensure you have the nutrients and energy to stay healthy and safe while on the trail.
Make sure you choose a freeze-dried meal that will give you enough calories to replace those you've burned while hiking. Having multiple servings may be necessary in some cases, so try to calculate how much food you will need before setting off (scroll down for more details on hiker nutrition).
Protein is essential for helping your muscles recover after exercise, which is why a balanced freeze-dried meal is a preferable recovery meal over more carb-heavy trail snacks. On a long hiking trip, choosing foods that are specifically high in protein may give you the boost you need to keep on going day after day.
Having too much sodium in your diet can raise your blood pressure and put you at risk for a stroke or heart attack. Most people will want to avoid these risks, but especially hikers who need to be fit and healthy for the trails!
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends into no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day, a number that can be easily exceeded if you eat more than one serving size of some foods.
For this reason, we would recommend checking the sodium content of the pouches you are buying to ensure it is not too high.
The Best Freeze Dried Backpacking Food – Reviewed
Now you know what to look for in a meal, here are our top recommendations for the best freeze-dried meals to chow down on after a day's hike.
Best for Meat Eaters: Mountain House Homestyle Chicken Casserole
At a Glance:
- Servings: 3
- Calories per Serving: 290
- Sodium: 800mg
- 18g of protein per serving, tastes good, very easy to make
- High sodium content, a single serving pouch may not be enough
More than 77% of customers give the chicken casserole a 5* review, so you know it's got to be good! Many hikers report the chicken casserole flavor to be one of the best they've ever had.
However, I feel that the recommended serving size is too small, and with a low calorie-density per serving you may want to eat multiple servings to ensure you're getting enough energy.VIEW ON AMAZON VIEW AT REI
Best for Vegans: Good-to-Go Classic Marinara with Penne
At a Glance
- Servings: 2
- Calories per Serving: 430
- Sodium: 300mg
- Calorie dense, low in sodium, great taste and no preservatives
- Longer prep time (20 minutes)
The vegan classic marinara penne is highly rated for its great taste and the fact that it's low in sodium, gluten-free and has no preservatives! Some users do report the sachet not being fully rehydrated even after 20 minutes so cook time may be longer than expected.VIEW ON AMAZON VIEW AT REI
Best for Vegetarians: Mountain House Pasta Primavera
At a Glance:
- Servings: 2.5
- Calories per Serving: 210
- Sodium: 580mg
- Tastes good, cooks well, packaging easy to pack out
- Can be watery, single serving size is too small
The Pasta Primavera has a great taste with a creamy sauce, but the general consensus is to cook with a little less water than recommended (1 ¾ cups instead of 2) for a thicker sauce. May also need cooking for an extra minute or two.VIEW ON AMAZON VIEW AT REI
Best for Gluten-free: Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai
At a Glance:
- Servings: 2
- Calories per Serving: 460
- Sodium: 780mg
- Calorie dense, high in protein (20g), tastes great, easy to pack, also vegan and non-GMO
- Can be a little too watery, high in sodium
The Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai has many people raving about its great taste and is praised for being both vegan and gluten-free but with a high protein content. Once again, this pack can be a little too watery so its best to troubleshoot cooking this meal before you get on the trails.VIEW ON AMAZON VIEW AT REI
Best for Pescatarians: Good-to-Go Thai Curry
At a Glance:
- Servings: 2
- Calories per Serving: 380
- Sodium: 500mg
- Low in sodium, no preservatives, tastes good, easy to pack out
- Longer prep time (20 minutes), lower protein content (10g)
This pescatarian Thai curry has a good spicy flavor and nice texture. However, some people find the meal unpalatable and to have a strange taste – perhaps one best tested at home to see if it suits your own tastes before taking out on the trail. Personally, I'm not sure about freeze-dried fish!VIEW ON AMAZON VIEW AT REI
Best for Paleo: Paleo Meals To Go Summit Savory Chicken
At a Glance:
- Servings: 1
- Calories per Serving: 290
- Sodium: 430mg
- Very high in protein (51g), low in sodium, good taste, easy and short prep
- Expensive for a small serving size, shorter shelf-life than most

What You Need to Know About Freeze-Dried Food
Why Take Freeze Dried Food Hiking?
Energy-to-Weight Ratio
The process of freeze drying food can remove up to 90% of its water weight, leaving an extremely calorie-dense, nutritious meal but at a fraction of the weight.
With most freeze-dried meal pouches weighing around 100g with a calorie count of between 500 – 900, you'll be getting a much higher energy-to-weight ratio in your backpacking food than if you were to take regular food.
With keeping your pack as light as possible being a key priority for hikers, this a huge benefit of freeze-dried food.
Another bonus of freeze drying backpacking food – either at home or shop bought – is that it can't degrade, so you can leave your pouches at room temperature for a long time without risking the food going bad.
Freeze dried food is extremely convenient for lightweight backpacking, providing a meal that can be cooked with nothing but the pouch and backpacking stove in less than 20 minutes – just add water – meaning no washing up, and no need to pack your cookware.
You'll need a stove to heat the water though!
How To Prepare Your Freeze Dried Meal
Freeze dried meals are extremely quick and easy to prepare (perfect when you're ravenous after a long day), but if you've never encountered them before the food can look a bit like something out of a spaceship!
To prepare your freeze-dried meal, all you need is to add water (preferably boiling) to the pouch, stir and close, and then wait for the length of time indicated on the pack for it to cook. Then stir and enjoy straight out of the pouch.
Troubleshooting Before You Go
As with any food, you'll always find at least one person whose meal didn't cook in the recommended time, or who simply didn't like the taste of a meal others find delicious.
Cook one of your backpacking meals at home to make sure you like it (if it tastes good on a plate it's going to taste amazing in the wilderness!), and to test your cooking times so you always have an edible meal.
Freeze Dried vs Dehydrated Food
Freeze dried and dehydrated meals are often confused for one other, but there are actually some big differences between these types of food.
Firstly, freeze-dried food is made by placing the food in a vacuum chamber, lowering the temperature to below freezing, and then slowly raising the temperature so that the water inside the food moves from a solid to a gaseous state while leaving the nutritional value of the food intact.
Dehydrated food, in contrast, is made by circulating hot and dry air across the food.
So how does this affect the food? One of the most immediate differences is the weight: freeze-dried food will weigh significantly less than dehydrated food, making it more convenient for hiking. Dehydrated food does lose more nutrients through the process, compared with freeze-dried food which will retain almost all of its original nutrients.
Nutrition, Calories, and Staying Energised While Hiking
The Mayo Clinic suggests that a 160 lb person will burn an average of 438 calories during a one hour hike. If you are regularly hiking for 5 – 6 hours a day, you could, therefore, be burning upwards of 2,600 calories!
It's for this reason that dialing in your food and nutrition and ensuring you are eating enough calories (and therefore, energy) to replace what you have burned is essential. If you're not supplying your body with enough energy, it will quickly run out of fuel and start eating up muscle instead of fat stores or fuel from food.
Packing freeze dried backpacking food is one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can get a calorie-dense, balanced meal (rather than carb-heavy energy bars or fat-rich trail mix) without carrying too much additional weight with you.
A Note About Water
All freeze dried backpacking meals require water to cook, so make sure you have enough clean, filtered water to drink while hiking and to cook with later in the day.
If you will be hiking to a campsite with a water source, it may be a good idea to only pack water for the hike itself, and then refill once at the campsite to save on weight.
Will Altitude Affect my Freeze Dried Meal
Good question – and actually, yes, altitude will affect the cooking time for your freeze-dried meals. This is for two reasons:
- Water boils at a lower temperature at high altitudes
- Water evaporates faster at high altitudes
This means that your freeze-dried meal will probably need a longer soak time when you're at a higher altitude than it would at sea level. A good rough guide is to add an extra minute for every 1,000 feet of elevation you've gained.
Don't forget to Leave No Trace!
A huge bonus to freeze-dried foods is how convenient they are to prepare. You simply pour your boiling water into the pouch and can eat straight out of the pouch to avoid having to pack a plate or bowl.
Your spoon can simply be washed with leftover boiling stove water, and you can then close the zip-lock pouch to place in the bottom of your pack to be packed out to leave no trace in camp.

Leader to Leader
with Terry Siebert
That exciting adventure called life
"I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go." My guess is that many of you have seen this bumper sticker at one time or another.
Dressing for success includes wearing a smile
In his book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie spends an entire chapter on the power of a genuine smile. He clearly makes the point that he is talking about the real thing, not the mask that many people put on to show how "happy" they are.
Appreciation and recognition: The dos and the don'ts
Not all employee recognition programs are created equal. So when you're trying to develop the most effective program for your company, here are some important things to consider.
Effective leadership: The 5 drivers of success
We define leadership as creating environments that influence others to achieve group goals. Management, on the other hand, is the creation, implementation, and monitoring of processes.
Leadership: Dealing with people 101
In my experience with coaching leadership teams for over 30 years, I continue to be surprised by how many leaders, both new and seasoned, put the cart before the horse when looking for results from their respective teams.

Our Vuelta scarf features a micro fleece section 10cm long, for ultimate warmth and comfort. The fleece fabric has high breathability, which prevents overheating- worn around ears or neck will kill all drafts. Stitched to the fleece is our soft and seamless microfiber which ensure full head protection this winter. This scarf is 58cm long and we have increased the width to 23cm to allow it to be used as TOTAL head and neck covering for deep winter.
First held in 1935, the Vuelta a España [ˈbwelta a esˈpaɲa] is the most un-controlled of the modern Grand tours; so the most exciting and my favourite close the visibility right down – providing an advantage to those brave enough to go it alone. It's the scene of the legendary battle of Covadonga, the first victory in the 'Reconquista,' the Christian 're-conquest' of Iberia from the Moors, but it is also where Lejaretta, Delgado, Millar (the clean one) and Herrera have all road to victory.
Our new Winter scarf reproduces the front page of the original race program, from that inaugural race.
As Henry Ford said
"Only available in Black"
he also said "get back to work and build my cars", but this was generally forgotten.
In stock
Same day dispatch as always!
Simple yet beautiful must have piece of kit.Perfect scarf that is stretchy and generous in length.Use this when my ears are cold in the early mornings with the echelon cap.I managed to get this off over my helmet and glasses whilst still on the bike when the sun came up..Fits easily into a jersey pocket and matches the ardennes jersey perfectly.Brilliant Galibier design and construction yet again.
Used for 1st time today as neck scarf & over the head to keep head & ears warm
Brilliant as usual
Used this nifty piece of kit to ski in extremely inclement conditions! Kept my face from freezing and was easy to breathe through. Highly recommended.
Great improvement to the ordinary buff. Extra fleece lined section is a luxury in the Northern Hemisphere winter. A must for weather proofing your seasonal training.
I received the scarf as a complementary gift with my order at Galibier and decided to use it a in an 200 km iceskating trip in Austria, under difficult conditions (-7 in the morning, +8 at mid-day). I was very satisfied with the scarf, the fleece feels nice and warm and I used the microfiber under my skating helmet. It stayed dry and kept me warm during the whole trip.

Ivanhoe: Black and Tans. German Beer is excellent, but from my point of view the best & worst beer I ever had came from the old Czechoslovakia. Budvar Budweis is the best beer in the world bar none. Pilsner Urquell, I could not stand. Just a matter of taste.

text: Steven Johnson - December 21, 2017 Best Vacation Lodges In Oklahoma The lodge at Beavers Bend State Park sits lakeside to Broken Bow Lake, providing ready access to good fishing action. Photo Courtesy of Oklahoma Tourism What's better than a fine day on the water or in the woods with friends? Two or three fine days on the water or in the woods with friends, of course! Stringing together a few days in an area adds efficiency to your approach and allows you to work that area much more thoroughly. Add evenings in a cabin, grilling venison steaks from a previous outing, trading stories by the fireplace, and a hunting or fishing outing transforms into the sort of trip you look forward to all year and continue to look back on after it is done.If you're looking for sporting lodge type destinations in Oklahoma, some of the finest opportunities can be found in our state parks system. Several parks in different parts of the state offer cabins or lodge rooms that are lakeside to fine fishing, or that are convenient to public lands that offer good hunting prospects — or both. Some have facilities such as a marina or a restaurant that simplify planning, and costs tend to be reasonable.With such thoughts in mind we've selected three parks, all in different parts of Oklahoma and differing in the character from one another, that lend themselves to serving as base camps for hunting and/or fishing outings.BEAVERS BEND STATE RESORT PARKTucked away in the mountains of Southeastern Oklahoma, Broken Bow Reservoir differs in character and in the fishery it supports from most other Oklahoma lakes. Broken Bow is deep and clear with rocky shores, and its water doesn't warm as much as other Oklahoma lakes do through the summer. Consequently, in addition to the regular mix of fish, this lake supports a strong walleye population. Plus, because water released into the tailwater below the lake stays cold enough it supports a high-quality trout fishery. Beavers Bend State Resort Park, a combination of multiple facilities, offers a lakeside lodge with great views from every room, a marina, rental boats on the lake and river, rustic and modern cottages along the river, and much more. The park also includes the banks of a significant part of the trout fishery, creating very good stream access for trout fishing. Steep-sided and forested, Broken Bow undoubtedly ranks among the most scenic lakes in Oklahoma. It's a very good fishing lake, and the variety of species certainly add appeal. Bass fishermen can catch largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass in the same day. Lacking fresh intel, a good strategy for bass or walleyes on this lake is to focus on rocky points and transitions of rock types along the shore, paying attention to slopes, depths and bank makeup whenever you do get bit.Below the spillway, the lower Mountain Fork River offers 12 miles of trout waters that get stocked 12 months a year, with plenty of good access for wading. It's a complex fishery, with a powerhouse a few miles below the spillway, vastly changing water levels, a low-water dam breaking the flow, and fishing regulations that vary by section. Spend time looking at maps and the river before stepping in. Also, be aware that parts of the river offer extremely challenging wading, even with modest flows. The brown trout limit throughout the tailwater is one fish, with a 20-inch minimum size. In "red" sections, which are clearly mapped out with signs, rainbow trout also fall under a one-fish limit and 20-inch minimum, and only barbless artificial lures are allowed. Although fishing is the main sporting attraction at Beavers Bend, the park's cabins or lodge could also serve as a base camp for hunting nearby. Roughly 6,000 acres of land around the lake is managed as a WMA, with deer and turkeys the main attractions. The river above the lake and the lake's headwaters cut through the rugged and expansive McCurtain Wilderness, which provides additional opportunities, albeit only for controlled hunts for deer and turkeys. To the south, the Red Slough area offers nearly 6,000 acres that are dominated by wetlands, scrub habitat and bottomland forest and provide opportunities for good waterfowling in season. 5350 S. Highway 259A - 580-494-6300 www.travelok.com/listings/view.profile/id.422 Lodging: Forty-seven 2-, 4- or 6-person cabins, with small kitchens. (Prices vary by cabin and season); Lakeview Lodge, 40 rooms with lake views, including four suites ($110-$180). Campground: More than 400 sites, including RV and tent sites, in eight different campgrounds ($12-$25). On-Site: Marina with boat rentals, forest heritage center, golf course, restaurant, grocery store. Nearby: Ouachita National Forest (Oklahoma and Arkansas).SEQUOYAH STATE PARKThe largest lodge in the state parks system, Sequoyah State Park & Lodge is on the shore of Fort Gibson Lake and in the heart of what could be dubbed the fishiest part of Oklahoma, with multiple rivers and lakes close by. A former private resort, the lodge itself offers 104 guest rooms and suites, and 45 cabins with kitchenettes. With a restaurant in the lodge and a full-service marina within the park, you have everything you need for a few days of fishing at a single location.Largemouth bass and crappie compete for top billing at Fort Gibson, an impoundment of the Grand (Neosho) River that spreads over approximately 20,000 acres at normal pool. A very fertile lake, Fort Gibson supports strong populations of bass and of black and white crappie. Rocky shores provide good natural habitat. Riprap and docks add shoreline cover. Sunken brush is plentiful. Stumps and some timber can be found up tributary arms. Bass and crappie offer year-round opportunities, but the most dependable and easiest action occurs during spring and fall. You can do well then by simply working the banks up the creek arms and fishing visible cover with a jig, a spinnerbait or a square-billed crankbait. During the summer and winter, the fish move away from the banks and structure becomes much important for finding fish.Photo Courtesy of Oklahoma TourismSpecial regulations apply to bass and crappie at Fort Gibson. The combined bag limit for largemouths and smallmouths is six fish, with a 14-inch minimum length. The crappie limit is 15, with a 10-inch minimum.Spring prompts the white bass to run upriver from Fort Gibson, sometimes serving up furious action. Through mid-summer and mid-winter, the same white bass commonly congregate on structural features like humps and points in the main lake, creating more opportunities for fast action. Winter fishing mostly involves vertical jigging with spoons. During the summer, the white bass are apt to school on the surface, creating fun topwater action.If the fishing at Fort Gibson isn't enough for you, or if you find tough conditions or simply a slow bite and want to try something else, several other excellent destinations are within easy reach. Hitting a few fisheries in a few days without having to pull up the stakes and move can make for a fun fishing adventure, and given the variety found in the waterways nearest to Fort Gibson, you could fish for a variety of species and mix up the experiences if you wanted to do so.The Arkansas River, less than a half-hour's drive from the park, offers a true big-river experience, with fish relating to current and often completely different conditions from what you find at the lake. By traveling 45 minutes in different directions you can get to Hudson Lake, which is one pool up from Fort Gibson, or Tenkiller, which offers deep, clear water and fine smallmouth fishing. A little farther out but in range of a Sequoyah stay are Grand Lake to the north and Eufaula to the south. Highway 51, 918-772-2545 travelok.com/listings/view.profile/id.8451 Lodging: 104 lodge rooms and 45 cabins. Campground: 3 RV campgrounds, 3 tent campgrounds that offer a combined 128 RV sites and 150 tent sites. On-Site: Full-service marina, golf course, riding stables, nature center, restaurant, swimming pool. Nearby: Tulsa (45 minutes).ROMAN NOSE STATE PARKRoman Nose State Park, one of the original seven Oklahoma state parks, is set in a canyon and offers recreation ranging from canoeing and paddle boating to horseback riding and golf. Park facilities include 11 cabins and a 22-room lodge. The lodge, constructed in 1956 but fully renovated, retains the character of its mid-century design but is modernized inside with comfortable, well-equipped rooms.Although there are two lakes on park property and fishing opportunities include trout fishing in season, Roman Nose State Park really isn't a fishing destination on its own. Instead, we're viewing its cabins and lodge rooms as nice lodging options for hunting in northwestern Oklahoma.Canton WMA, located on the banks of Canton Lake northwest of the state park, offers nearly 15,000 acres of public hunting land in Blaine, Dewey and Major counties. It mostly consists of floodplain habitat, although the western part of the area contains some upland areas. Specific habitats range from post oak/blackjack Cross Timbers type at the east end to sand sage grasslands interspersed with sand plum, eastern red cedar, American elm and black locust at the west end. White-tailed deer and Rio Grande wild turkeys are available in good numbers in the area. It's worth noting, though, that both receive quite a bit of hunting pressure. Cottontail rabbits are common and quail are available in good numbers. Duck hunting can be good on Canton Lake and on cutoff oxbows of the Canadian River that are on the WMA.Northeast of Roman Nose State Park, Drummond Flats WMA provides another 4,653 acres of public land in western Garfield County. Drummond Flats is a historic overflow basin at the confluence of three creeks and is made up mostly of wetlands, but with some upland habitat breaking up the wetlands. Eight water-control structures are used to maintain wetlands and to carry out moist-soil management to provide the best habitat for wildlife. Roman Nose Lodge. Photo Courtesy of Oklahoma TourismDrummond Flats is best known as a duck hunting area, and duck hunting is good. That said, the area's character varies based on the amount of water, and water conditions impact the amount of ducks. Geese can be present but are less abundant. Sandhill cranes sometimes use Drummond Flats during fall migrations. Pheasants are normally around in fair to good numbers and will use all parts of the WMA not covered by standing water. Quail and Rio Grande turkeys provide some opportunities but are less common that some other species.Two small wildlife management areas, Dewey County and Major County, offer limited additional hunting opportunities in the same part of the state. Private lands in the area offer plentiful and good hunting prospects for a variety of species, including whitetails, pheasants, geese, quail, rabbits and Rio Grande turkeys.If you want to do some fishing as part of a trip to this area, it's permitted in the lakes at Roman Nose State Park, and trout season runs from November through April so it lines up nicely with some hunting seasons and could be part of a cast-and-blast agenda. 3236 S. Highway 8A, 580-623-7281 travelok.com/listings/view.profile/id.6460 Lodging: 11 cabins with full kitchens, 22 lodge rooms. Campground: 37 RV sites and 33 tent sites.

A symposium may be defined as a collection of articles about a theme, but we are more accustomed to thinking of symposia as live events, occurring at some specified time, chaired, with papers read and discussed and later (almost inevitably) appearing in print. This 22nd Hahnemann Symposium lacks any discussion or indication that it might have been a happening outside the covers of the book (actually the symposium was held in November 1970).

Nitrous Oxide Sedation (Laughing Gas)
Laughing gas, or nitrous oxide sedation, has one purpose in our dental practice: to make our patients relaxed during their dental procedures. You may have heard it called inhalation sedation or happy gas. Either way, nitrous oxide sedation is given to our patients (who qualify) at City Smiles DC by our dentist, Dr. Stuart Ross to temporarily sedate them through dental procedures.
At City Smiles DC, we treat numerous patients of all ages, who experience elevated levels of anxiety when visiting the dentist, and why we offer sedation dentistry. We can make even the most extensive dental work bearable with our sedation techniques, and Dr. Ross can perform multiple dental treatments in a single visit while you are under sedation. In our Washington, DC dental practice, sedation dentistry can be used in conjunction with any type of treatment, from routine general dentistry checkups to cosmetic dentistry procedures or in-depth surgical dental work. Call our Patient Coordinator to learn more, and schedule your next appointment.
Typically, nitrous oxide is combined with oxygen for safer results. To begin sedation, the dentist places a nasal hood over the patient's nose and the patient is instructed to breathe normally through their nose in order to inhale the gas. The nitrous oxide will start working within a few minutes and the patient will begin to feel light-headed. After that, the patient will notice a tingling sensation, usually in their arms and legs, or a vibrating feeling that is followed by a warmth through the body. Once the gas takes full effect, the patient should experience a sense of euphoria, or well-being. Unlike other forms of sedation, the dentist can determine the exact amount of time that the nitrous oxide is needed. Therefore, it can be switched on and off at any given time, depending on the patient's needs.
Once the dentist has stopped the supply of nitrous oxide, the gas should leave the body within 3-5 minutes, which means that the patient should have no "hangover" effect, and is safe to drive home after the procedure. Since nitrous oxide is a relatively safe form of sedation, there are usually no negative side effects associated with the gas. In rare instances, a patient may report slight nausea. If a patient is prone to nausea, it is suggested they eat something before receiving nitrous oxide.
The exact price of nitrous oxide can vary depending on whether the cost of the gas is charged per hour or per visit. It is best to check with a dentist in order to get a better understanding of the price. In addition, our front office can check with the patient's insurance company to see if nitrous oxide is partially or fully covered.
Dr. Ross is a top sedation dentist in the Greater Washington, DC area, including Arlington, VA and Bethesda, MD. When you contact our office to schedule an appointment, we are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding sedation. We can walk you through the process and discuss the advantages and disadvantages. Please contact us today to schedule your consultation to see if nitrous oxide is right for you.
