Springstein (Manitoba, Canada)
Springstein, Manitoba, a town located on the Canadian Pacific railway lines southwest of Winnipeg. Here the "Midwest Properties Co., Ltd." of Minneapolis purchased a tract of land of 2,890 acres. This land was acquired by purchase in 1924 by ten Mennonite families, who had immigrated to Canada from Russia in 1923, for the sum of $240,000, without down payment, but with the obligation of delivering annually half of the harvest to the company as payment on their debt. On 14 October 1923, the families had settled on this farm and helped to thresh out the 1,000 acres of wheat. The school which was opened at Springstein when these families arrived had seven pupils. After 30 years, Springstein was a neat Mennonite village with 18 families. An excellent school of three classes, in which 3 teachers gave instruction as far as grade 11, was probably the most valuable possession of Springstein. The teachers and the students were all children of Mennonite parents and the instruction was very closely bound with the Mennonite faith. Opposite the school stood the Springstein Mennonite Church (General Conference Mennonite), which had seating space for about 300. One mile southwest of Springstein was the Springstein Mennonite Brethren Church. Mennonite farmers had bought up most of the land around Springstein.
It was not easy to develop or even to keep the land at all. It was particularly hard during the Depression. The "Midwest Properties Company" reduced the purchase price to one half of the original sum, and gave the loan free of interest for 15 years. As the times improved, the financial status of the settlement also improved.

Poor Houses and Town Farms: The Hard Row for Paupers
From its earliest settlements New Hampshire has struggled with issues surrounding the treatment of its poor. The early Northeastern colonies followed the lead of England's 1601 Poor Law, which imposed compulsory taxes for maintenance of the poor but made no distinction between the "vagrant, vicious poor" and the helpless, and honest poor. This confusion persisted for generations and led directly to establishment in most of the state's towns of alms houses and poor farms and, later, county institutions which would collectively come to form a dark chapter in New Hampshire history. Steve Taylor will examine how paupers were treated in these facilities and how reformers eventually succeeded in closing them down.

|Great sandwiches!
The reign in Spain. I'll admit, this is a bit of a stretch—to rope the coronation of a new king into a food blog—but, I'll try.
Last week, King Juan Carlos I, who has reigned in Spain since 1976, abdicated the Spanish throne. His son, Felipe, swore fealty to the constitution and was proclaimed King Felipe VI at a ceremony before both houses of parliament. It wasn't, actually, a coronation, as the symbolic crown is never set on the monarch's head, but never mind. (For pictures of the ceremony, go to the official page of the Casa Real . )
And, so, as the Walrus said, "The time has come to talk of many things," among them, cabbages and kings. Hah! Now we've got food and kings on the same page! (The poem comes from Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll.)
Shortly, the Walrus and Carpenter manage to lure several dozen oysters out of the briny sea.
"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need.
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed—"
In Spain, two words are used to mean sandwich. "Sandwich," as in English, means thinly sliced loaf bread, usually with the crusts removed, between which is sandwiched sliced ham, cheese, chicken, etc. It may or may not be grilled. A bocadillo, however, is more akin to a whole meal. It's made by splitting a bollo, a roll, small baguette or even a whole crusty loaf and spreading or filling it.
A real bocadillo must be firmly grasped in both hands and the mouth opened very wide. The filling can be simple—sliced chorizo, salchichón, cheese, canned tuna—or more substantial—a thick slab of potato tortilla, for example.
|Salchichón on a whole wheat roll.
"The best thing about a bocadillo is that it's fresh," said one sandwich maven. "The bollo is the whole point. It's gotta be crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. The fillings are infinitely permutable." But, he added, the bread should be cut and the meat, cheese or other filling ingredients should be added immediately before serving.
If bread is not radically fresh, toasting it on a grill pan definitely improves it.
Serrano Ham and Pork Loin Sandwich
|Un Serranito--pork loin, serrano ham, fried pepper.
|Easy marinade for pork loin.
Marinate thinly sliced pork loin with salt, chopped garlic, chopped parsley, a pinch of pimentón (paprika) and a squeeze of lemon for 30 minutes. Quickly fry the slices in olive oil. Use the oil and drippings in the pan to dribble on the bread rolls.
Use thin green frying peppers, one per sandwich. Fry them, whole, in olive oil until browned and limp. Remove the stem and seeds and lay a pepper on each sandwich. (More about frying peppers here .)
For 1 sandwich:
Bollo or baguette, split open lengthwise
Sliced tomato
Slices of fried pork loin
Thinly sliced serrano ham
Fried green pepper
Alioli (optional)
To assemble, place sliced tomatoes on the bottom slice of bread which has been drizzled with oil from the frying of the pork.. Add a layer of fried pork loin, then serrano ham. Top with fried green pepper. Add a few blobs of alioli, if desired.
Capote con Atún
Tuna and Roasted Pepper Sandwiches
|Chunks of tuna, roasted peppers and a garlicky sauce.
Chapata is the Spanish version of ciabatta, a slightly flattened loaf with a light, airy crumb.
Short cut: Buy ready-roasted peppers.
Makes 6 sandwiches.
1 large green bell pepper
1 large red bell pepper
1 (9 oz) jar light tuna in olive oil
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped spring onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon drained capers
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Pinch of cayenne
3 small chapatas (ciabattas)
Place the peppers on a pan and roast them under the broiler until charred on all sides, about 25 minutes total. Remove, cover the pan and allow to stand until cool. Peel the peppers and discard stem and seeds. Cut the peppers into wide strips.
Drain the tuna, saving 2 tablespoons of the oil.
Place the mayonnaise in a small bowl and whisk the reserved tuna oil into it. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, capers, lemon juice and cayenne.
Split the chapatas in half. Toast them lightly, one side only, on a grill pan. Spread the bottom slices with the mayonnaise. Divide the chunks of tuna between the three sandwiches. Top them with strips of peppers. Cut each sandwich in half to serve.
|Split chapatas in half to make two sandwiches.
Emparedados de Jamón y Queso
Fried Ham and Cheese Sandwiches
Fried Ham and Cheese Sandwiches
|These ham and cheese sandwiches are dipped in egg and fried.
Makes 4 sandwiches
6 ounces thinly sliced serrano ham
6 ounces sliced cheese
8 slices day-old sandwich loaf
1/3 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
Olive oil for frying
Layer the ham and cheese on four of the bread slices. Top each with a slice of bread and press them together. Trim off the crusts and cut the sandwiches diagonally in half.
Dip each piece into milk, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs. Heat enough oil in a frying pan to cover the bottom and fry the sandwiches, a few at a time, until browned on both sides. Serve hot.
Oh, and for the cabbage, try this version of slaw. Fit for a king.
Cole Slaw with Toasted Garlic
Ensalada de Col
Serves 6.
½ cabbage, finely shredded (4 cups)
¼ cup chopped red onion
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced
¼ teaspoon cumin seed
½ teaspoon smoked pimentón (paprika)
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon water
Pomegranate seeds or chopped apple to garnish
Place the cabbage and onion in a salad bowl and sprinkle with salt. Mix well and allow to stand for at least 30 minutes
Heat the oil in a small skillet and sauté the sliced garlic and cumin just until garlic is lightly golden. Remove from the heat and stir in the pimentón. Add the vinegar and water. Bring the dressing to a boil and pour it over the cabbage. Toss well.
Let the cabbage marinate at least 30 minutes before serving or cover and refrigerate and serve the following day. Garnish with pomegranate or apple

It was in 1992 that we first celebrated the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival in its current form. The leaders of the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association had started celebrating the holidays with ceremonies in Water Tower Park in the 1950′s and later by lighting Italian Lights in the trees on the Magnificent Mile in 1959
Today the Magnificent Mile Lights Festivals is one of the country's premiere holiday events.
Eli's Cheesecake will again be part of Lights Festival Lane on Saturday, November 22nd. Come meet Eli's Big Slice while supporting the Greater Chicago Food Depository (bring in a can of food and receive a free slice of Eli's Cheesecake or donate $20 and receive a free Eli's Cheesecake). Eli's will also be partnering with the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences and offering free Eli's Cheesecake Slice Decorating for children.
This is a historic year for the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival as the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association's, Ellen Farrar, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, has authored "The Magnificent Mile Lights
Festival" as part of Arcadia Publishing's Images of America Series. The first book ever written about the holidays on the Magnificent Mile, it tells the story of the development of this Great Avenue of the World, how the holidays have been celebrated on the Magnificent Mile since the early 1950′s and the founding in 1992 and continued growth of what is now the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival. It was my honor to be Founding Chairman of the event in 1992 and to watch it grow because of such great volunteer, civic, government and sponsor support.
Maureen and Marc Schulman join Mickey Mouse for a preview of the Lights Festival at Pioneer Court. Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney World Parks & Resorts have been an integral part of the Lights Festival since 1994.
It was an honor for me to be able to pre-tape a welcome from the members and volunteers of the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association to viewers of the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival Broadcast on ABC 7 Chicago and
affiliates nationally. Joining me for the taping was a special guest from Disney World who is known to like cheese and of course cheesecake!
The success of the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival would not be possible without the support of our presenting sponsor, Harris Bank, here represented by Hubert the Harris Lion, and the dedicated staff of the Greater
North Michigan Avenue Association. 2008 will mark the 4th Lights Festival for John Maxson, as President and CEO of the GNMAA.
I am most grateful to John, to Ellen Farrar, who is the staff leader for the event and who has so passion for the Lights Festival and to all the other staff members at GNMAA. I am also most grateful to my friend and
former GNMAA President, Russ Salzman, who was such a strong advocate and believer of the potential of the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival since that first walk up the Magnificent Mile in 1992.

I was at Pete's Frootique the other month and they had a vegan soup just like this one on the menu. It was so good, and then I forgot about it. Last night I was rummaging around in the cupboards to find something I could use for dinner, and I found huge sweet potato and remembered. The peanut butter adds a nice flavor, and you could always add a bit more chili if you like it spicy!
Sweet Potato and peanut soup
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion- chopped
2 tbsp fresh ginger- minced
2 cloves garlic-minced
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp dried chili flakes
pinch ground clove
1 large sweet potato- peeled and cubed
1 small white potato- peeled and cubed
1 tomato- chopped
1 carrot- peeled and chopped
6-8 cups water
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 lime juiced
2 tbsp maple syrup
sea salt- to taste
1/4 cup coconut milk
In a large pot heat oil , add onion, saute until soft. Add ginger and garlic saute for 3-4 minutes
Add spices, let absorb.
Add the potato, tomato, carrot. Pour in water.
Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are very soft.
Add peanut butter and blend in batches.
Season with lime,salt and maple syrup.
Finish with coconut milk.

I usually walk into my local health food store for a crusty loaf of multi-seed sourdough and maybe a re-up of brown basmati rice. But also… I almost always walk out with 3 sample size packets of plant-based protein powder, a Synergy Kombucha (the ones with chia seeds if I'm lucky), some sort of grain-free dog treat (my girl's got sensitive skin), coconut milk ice cream, a new herbal tea, some kind of rice cracker/cake, a bar of my fave raw chocolate with vanilla and salt, a new flour/grain to play around with, and whatever superfood du jour that I've just read about.
Those bags and jars of dried fruit, seeds, powders, tabs, bark pieces, and leaves tend to realize their fate in my daily smoothie. The individual flavour of each is buried in this application and I really can't tell you with 100% certainty whether my immunity is stronger (no colds yet this year), my focus more laser beam-like, or my energy levels significantly enhanced. I just know that I feel good and I chalk up about an ounce of that positivity to these, ahem, super additions.
I do have specific uses for some of these quote unquote functional foods (like this and this), but for the most part they seem to fit in just right with my fancy beverage routine. A traditional latte is one of my favourite small/frequently enjoyed luxuries–it's rich without being overwhelming, the ratio of coffee to (non-dairy) milk suits me just right, and the small amount of foam doesn't seem superfluous.
Around 5 years ago, I found myself enjoying a soy milk latte while out and about every other day or so. I also found myself with the worst case of acne I'd ever had. I was dumbfounded on why this could be happening at 25 years old and also considering how healthy I was otherwise. I ate a varied diet based on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and healthy fat with little sugar. I hydrated religiously,green juiced often, took probiotics and Omega 3 supplements, made horrifyingly blue spirulina shots every day, used the gentlest all natural face care I could find, got tons of exercise, avoided excessive time on the internet, and slept relatively well. I felt amazing, so it was extra frustrating that the most visible part of me didn't effectively communicate that vibrance. It's like living with a cautious confidence. After taking some time to focus on higher amounts of certain vitamins and minerals and removing soy almost entirely, I started getting results. To this day, if I drink even a small soy latte, it's almost a lock that a throbbing zit will be saying hello the next day.
So I mention that little pocket of possible over-sharing just to emphasize how often I enjoy coffee/warm drinks at home now. There's a couple little café spots around town that have almond milk, but they all use the ubiquitous one in the blue carton that just goes weirdly tannic when it gets steamed. Maybe it's just me? I don't know. I wasn't about to buy one of those specialty plug-in milk frothers and once I happened upon the discovery that coconut/MCT oil + warm liquid + blend on high = creamy, foamy, frothy latte-like goodness, my non-dairy woes weren't a thing anymore.
I really got into a vegan version of bulletproof coffee last summer–just hot coffee with a bit of MCT oil, a dab of coconut butter/manna, and a splash of full fat coconut milk. All of the supposed benefits of mixing coffee with fat aside, I enjoyed the taste and texture so much after it all got blended together. So this led to my superfood lattes discovery. I could use up all of those random bags I had picked up at the health food store, maybe enjoy their individual flavours a bit more, and have myself a cozy and healthy drink too. I have one of these everyday, usually when I hit that little afternoon slump and they're never the same way twice. I offer three versions here that you can play with: a turmeric vanilla spice, a raw cacao and goji berry one and a wildcard matcha and maca one with tahini! Totally, totally super :)
Print all recipes here!
1. turmeric vanilla spice superfood latte recipe
serves: 1
notes: I've tried this with both fresh and powdered turmeric and generally prefer the powder. It just seems to integrate itself into the drink nicer.
10-12 oz light coconut or unsweetened almond milk
1 1/2-2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
fat pinch of vanilla powder
tiny pinch of ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp extra virgin coconut oil
maple syrup/brown rice syrup to taste
Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a strong simmer, whisking a couple times. Once it's quite warm, carefully pour the liquid into a blender and slowly blend the mixture until thoroughly combined and frothy. Pour the drink into a cup and shake a bit of cinnamon on top if you like.
2. raw cacao + goji berry superfood latte recipe
serves: 1
notes: I love the intensity of raw cacao powder in this, but regular cocoa powder would be just as tasty.
10-12 oz light coconut or unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp raw cacao powder
1 pitted date
1 1/2 tbsp goji berries
1/4 tsp vanilla powder
pinch of berry blend/acai powder (optional)
1 1/2 tsp extra virgin coconut oil
Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a strong simmer, whisking a couple times. Once it's quite warm and the date/gojis are completely soft, carefully pour the liquid and softened dried fruit into a blender and slowly blend the mixture until thoroughly combined, smooth, and frothy. Garnish with extra goji berries, a sprinkle of cacao powder or cacao nibs if you like.
3. matcha + maca superfood latte with tahini
serves: 1
notes: I imagine a bit of raw cacao butter dissolved into the mix would give this a delicious white chocolate feel similar to this gorgeous recipe.
10-12 oz light coconut or unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp matcha powder
1 tsp maca powder
1/2 tsp tahini sesame paste
1 1/2 tsp extra virgin coconut oil (or coconut butter/manna is especially good here)
maple syrup/brown rice syrup to taste
Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a strong simmer, whisking a couple times. Once it's quite warm, carefully pour the liquid into a blender and slowly blend the mixture until thoroughly combined and frothy. Garnish the drink with a little sprinkle of sesame seeds of you like.

The dB's have been making the occasional new song available on their website for some time now, but Falling Off The Sky is the first official album with all four original members since Repercussion in 1981. Peter Holsapple, Gene Holder, Chris Stamey, and Will Rigby are all on board, along with power pop compatriot Mitch Easter, who helps out on guitar and with some of the production. Falling Off The Sky is filled with the band's distinctive harmoniess and legendary sense of melody. Not everything works, but there's plenty of good material for fans to embrace.
All 12 tracks are well-crafted, but "Collide-oOo-Scope" and "She Won't Drive in the Rain Anymore" are overly theatrical and run too long, while "I Didn't Mean To Say That" feels a little generic. Stamey's ambitious "The Adventures of Albatross and Doggerel" takes chances, but works, while Holsapple's "That Time Is Gone" mixes social commentary with a hard-edged arrangement. Rigby's twangy "Write Back" and Holsapple's irresistible "World To Cry" stand as classic dB's material.

Jeterford, good job!!! You picked somebody albeit a failure, but at least you grew some balls. Congrats.
Too bad hkxxx53, wsonata2007, maroon5555, mikaroomy, cubscoutcrooks, firefoxmozz, slreeef, smiley10002, vegasjj, wuhopmott, bedazzzledxx, omahankcorn, and most of all dugup4diamond (as well a large contingent of others) couldn't work it out with Jose Reyes today. Better luck next time. I've got a feeling Brett Gardner will go on a 57 game hitting streak from the comforts of Scranton, so keep working that angle!
Another 2 hit day for Kinsler. That is 5 days in a row now.
Don't usually pick Pedroia even though he is a popular pick, did yesterday, and let me down 0-5. He had good numbers versus Weaver, man.

Shorewood tactical situation ends; two people in custody
A domestic situation led to a standoff Friday afternoon in Shorewood, police said.
Shorewood police confirmed to WISN 12 News a man and a woman who live in an apartment building at Oakland Avenue and Menlo Boulevard got into a domestic dispute and refused to open the door to police when officers arrived.
Authorities determined the situation was becoming increasingly volatile, so they brought in tactical units and SWAT teams from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office, as well as a robotic, bomb detonator.
Eventually, the man inside the unit called police to say he was coming out.
"The man from inside the apartment called the Shorewood police station and asked us if we were looking for him, and we told him, 'Yes, we are. It's in your best interest to come out of the apartment with your hands up,' and he agreed, and the deputy chief talked him into coming out," Shorewood Police Chief David Banaszynski said.
Shorewood police arrested the couple and brought them to the police station.
People who live in the apartment building and the surrounding area were evacuated.
John Prellwitz told WISN 12 News he was on his way home from work when he got a call from his girlfriend describing the chaotic scene around her.
"She saw an officer with a gun, and they told her they needed to clear the building, told her grab anything she needed, and go somewhere safer," Prellwitz said.
Shorewood police told WISN 12 News they have responded to the couple's apartment before.
Austin Kolinski lives a few doors down from the suspects and said he wasn't surprised to hear they were the ones involved in the stand-off.
"I was actually freaked out because I live two doors down, and I've been living here for the last year and to find out two doors down there is SWAT teams and Army trucks in front of my apartment, it's a little scary," Kolinski said.
No one was injured in the standoff.
At this time, police have not released the suspects' names or if a weapon was involved.
Oakland Avenue was shut down from Capitol Drive to Edgewood Avenue for several hours.
The Shorewood School District was told the high school was being used as a staging area and that none of the activity was related to the school.

Thousands of Palestinians gathered in central Ramallah Friday night to hear Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas speak to the United Nations and formally announce the bid for UN statehood membership.
Mr. Abbas' fulfillment of his promise to launch the UN bid garnered the leader – often criticized as uncompelling and being too willing to concede to Israel – newfound popularity among Palestinians.
"Now, I support him. For the last years I have opposed his polices," says Omar Saleh, standing with his mother in a sea of Palestinian flags. "He has given the Israelis too many chances and not given any hope to the Palestinians."
Abbas has led the Palestinian Authority since January 2005 and has struggled to step outside the shadow of his iconic, charismatic predecessor, Yasser Arafat. Abbas has always had a core of supporters from his leading Fatah movement, but many Palestinians saw him as weak and too cooperative with Israel and the United States. Earlier this year, documents related to the peace process were leaked that showed Palestinian negotiators under his leadership offering Israel compromises that many Palestinians were unwilling to accept.
But his fulfillment today of his promise to go to the UN Security Council – against American wishes – has gained him a groundswell of support. Among the chants coming from the crowd in Ramallah was Abbas' nickname, Abu Mazen. Many held posters of their president.
"With 18 years of negotiations and false promises, he is giving the final ultimatum to the world and the UN," says Mr. Saleh, adding that he has long felt negotiations served the Palestinian Authority and Israel more than they served the Palestinian people. "Now he has proven he is honest."
In the square, which was recently re-named after Mr. Arafat, several-stories-high posters of Abbas and Arafat hung from the buildings.
"He was quiet for a long period and he didn't do anything," says 23-year-old Mohammed Barakat, walking through the crowd in Arafat Square. Now, however, "he's like [Mohandas] Gandhi. A hero in everyone's eyes… I hope they will give him what he wants, an independent Palestinian state on the borders of 1967."
But while Ramallah was a raucous scene of jubilation Friday, with crowds rivaling those of Arafat's funeral in 2004, Gaza City was quiet. Though many in Gaza support the move, Hamas, which rules Gaza and opposes the statehood bid, prohibited public demonstrations on Friday.
Activists and journalists gathered at The Gallery, a coffee shop and restaurant in Gaza City, to watch the speech on a screen in the garden. About halfway through, Hamas internal security showed up, turned off the projector, arrested the owner, and forced everyone to leave, witnesses said.
At another coffee shop, Gazans watched the speech on a screen indoors, considered safer than the open-air garden at The Gallery. The room erupted in applause when Mahmoud Abbas quoted the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish: "Standing here, staying here, permanent here, eternal here, and we have one goal, one, one: to be."
After the speech, some Gazans drove through the streets waving Palestinian flags, but internal security forces were out in force, confiscating flags and peering into passing cars to make sure the occupants didn't show any signs of supporting Abbas. In Gaza City's main square, dozens of people, some holding Palestinian flags, began to gather. Police quickly arrived and quelled the budding celebration, yelling at the crowd to leave and threatening arrest.
One man wondered aloud what crime he was committing by raising the national flag. "It's my right to demonstrate peacefully, it's legal, and it's just the Palestinian flag," he said. But police told him and others to hide their flags and leave, or face arrest, he said.
Elsewhere in Gaza City, life went on as normal. Most residents were either disinterested or too afraid to celebrate. Three young men on the street said they had watched the speech on television at home, and were bitter that they could not openly express their approval. "I'm so upset, because in the West Bank they are celebrating, but here we cannot do that," said Ahmed Ayad, a university student. "I'm so disappointed that I can't carry the Palestinian flag and walk on the street. We aren't allowed to feel the same happiness the others do."

Graffiti on behalf of Iranian prisoners has appeared in The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Egypt, many United States cities and beyond, bringing the faces of political prisoners we have grown accustomed to seeing online into a real world environment.
Nagsulputan ang mga graffiti para sa mga bilanggong Iranian sa bansang Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Ehipto, at sa maraming lungsod sa loob at labas ng Estados Unidos, nang sa gayon nabigyan ng mas malinaw na mukha sa totoong buhay ang mga bilanggong pulitikal na matagal na nating nababalitaan online.

A long time ago, cricket fighting caught on in the imperial court, with the emperor leading the fad. A local magistrate in Huayin, who wanted to win the favor of the monarch, tried in every way to get him the best fighting crickets. He had a strategy for doing so: He managed to get a cricket that was very good at fighting. He then made his subordinates go to the heads of each village and force them to send in a constant supply of fighting crickets. He would send to the imperial court the crickets that could beat the one he was keeping. Theoretically, everything should have worked smoothly. However, as the magistrate was extremely zealous to please the emperor, he meted out harsh punishment on any village heads who failed to accomplish their tasks. The village heads in turn shifted the burden to the poor villagers, who had to search for the crickets. If they failed to catch them, they had to purchase them from someone else, or they had to pay a levy in cash. The small insects suddenly became a rare commodity. Speculators hoarded good crickets, buying them at a bargain and selling them for an exorbitant price. Many village heads worked hand in hand with the speculators to make profits. In so doing, they bankrupted many a family. Cheng Ming was one such villager. The head of his village delegated part of his duties to him because he found Cheng Ming easy to push around. Cheng Ming did not want to bully his fellow villagers as the village head did him, so he often had to pay cash out of his own pocket when he failed to collect any competent crickets. Soon the little proper ties he had were draining away, and he went into a severe depression. One day, he said to his wife that he wanted to die."Death is easy, but what will our son do without you?" asked his wife, glancing at their only son, sleeping on the kang. "Why can't we look for the crickets ourselves instead of buying them? Perhaps we'll strike some goodluck." Cheng Ming gave up the idea of suicide and went to search for crickets. Armed with a tiny basket of copper wires for catching crickets and a number of small bamboo tubes for holding them, he went about the tedious task. Each day he got up at dawn and did not return until late in the evening. He searched beneath brick debris, dike crevices, and in the weeds and bushes. Days went by, and he caught only a few mediocre crickets that did not measure up to the magistrate's standards. His worries increased as the dead line drew closer and closer. The day for cricket delivery finally came, but Cheng Ming could not produce any good ones. He was clubbed a hundred times on the buttocks, a form of corporal punishment in the ancient Chinese judicial system. When he was released the next day, he could barely walk. The wound on his buttocks confined him to bed for days and further delayed his search for crickets. He thought of committing suicide again. His wife did not know what to do Then they heard about a hunchbacked fortune teller who was visiting the village. Cheng Ming's wife went to see him. The fortune teller gave her a piece of paper with a picture on it. It was a pavilion with a jiashan (rockgarden) behind it. On the bushes by the jiashan sat a fat male cricket. Beside it, however, lurked a large toad, ready to catch the insect with its long, elastic tongue. When the wife got home, she showed the paper to her husband. Cheng Ming sprang up and jumped to the floor, forgetting the pain in his buttocks."This is the fortune teller's hint at the location where I can find a perfect cricket to accomplish my task!" he exclaimed."But we don't have a pavilion in our village," his wife re minded him."Well, take a closer look and think. Doesn't the temple on the east side of our village have a rock garden? That must be it." So saying, Cheng Ming limped to the temple with the support of a make shift crutch. Sure enough, he saw the cricket, and the toad squatting nearby in the rock garden at the back of the temple. He caught the big, black male cricket just before the toad got hold of it. Back home, he carefully placed the cricket in a jar he had prepared for it and stowed the jar away in a safe place. "Everything will be over tomorrow," he gave a sigh of relief and went to tell his best friends in the village the good news. Cheng Ming's nine-year-old son was very curious. Seeing his father was gone, he took the jar and wanted to have a peek at the cricket. He was removing the lid carefully, when the big cricket jumped out and hopped away. Panicked, the boy tried to catch the fleeing cricket with his hands, but in a flurry, he accidentally squashed the insect when he finally got hold of it."Good heavens! What're you going to say to your father when he comes back?" the mother said in distress and dread. Without a word, the boy went out of the room, tears in his eyes.Cheng Ming became distraught when he saw the dead cricket. He couldn't believe that all his hopes had been dashed in a second. He looked around for his son, vowing to teach the little scoundrel a good lesson. He searched inside and outside the house, only to locate him in a well at the corner of the court yard. When he fished him out, the boy was already dead. The father's fury instantly gave way to sorrow. The grieved parents laid their son on the kang and lamented over his body the entire night. As Cheng Ming was dressing his son for burial the next morning, he felt the body still warm. Immediately he put the boy back on the kang, hoping that he would revive. Gradually the boy came back to life, but to his parents'dismay, he was unconscious, as if he were in a trance. The parents grieved again for the loss of their son. Suddenly they heard a cricket chirping. The couple traced the sound to a small cricket on the door step. The appearance of the cricket, however, dashed their hopes, for it was very small. "Well, it's better than nothing," Cheng Ming thought. He was about to catch it, when it jumped nimbly on to a wall, cheeping at him. He tip toed to ward it, but it showed no sign of fleeing. Instead, when Cheng Ming came a few steps closer, the little cricket jumped onto his chest. Though small, the cricket looked smart and energetic. Cheng Ming planned to take it to the village head. Uncertain of its capabilities, ChengMing could not go to sleep. He wanted to put the little cricket to the test before sending it to the village head. The next morning, Cheng Ming went to a young man from a rich family in his neighborhood, having heard him boasting about an "invincible" cricket that he wanted to sell for a high price. When the young man showed his cricket, Cheng Ming hesitated, because his little cricket seemed no match for this gigantic insect. To fight this monster would be to condemn his dwarf to death."There's no way my little cricket could survive a confrontation with your big guy," Cheng Ming said to the young man, holding his jar tight. The young man goaded and taunted him. At last, Cheng Ming decided to take a risk. "Well, it won't hurt to give a try. If the little cricket is a good-for-nothing, what's the use of keeping it anyway?" he thought. When they put the two crickets together in a jar, Cheng Ming's small insect seemed transfixed. No matter how the young man prodded it to fight, it simply would not budge. The young man burst into a guffaw, to the great embarrassment of Cheng Ming. As the young man spurred the little cricket on, it suddenly seemed to have run out of patience. With great wrath, it charged the giant opponent head on. The sudden burst of action stunned both the young man and Cheng Ming. Before the little creature planted its small but sharp teeth into the neck of the big cricket, the terrified young man fished the big insect out of the jar just in time and called off the contest. The little cricket chirped victoriously, and Cheng Ming felt exceedingly happy and proud.Cheng Ming and the young man were commenting on the little cricket's extraordinary prowess, when a big rooster rushed over to peck at the little cricket in the jar. The little cricket hopped out of the jar in time to dodge the attack. The rooster then went for it a second time, but suddenly began to shake its head violently, screaming in agony. This sudden turn of events baffled Cheng Ming and the onlookers. When they took a closer look, they could not believe their eyes: The little cricket was gnawing on the rooster's bloody comb. The story of a cricket fighting a rooster soon spread throughout the village and beyond. The next day, Cheng Ming, along with the village head, sent the cricket to the magistrate and asked for a test fight with his master cricket, but the magistrate re fused on the ground that Cheng Ming's cricket was too small."I don't think you have heard its rooster-fighting story," Cheng Ming proclaimed with great pride. "You can't judge it only by its appearance.""Nonsense, how can a cricket fight a rooster?" asked the magistrate. He ordered a big rooster brought to his office, thinking that Cheng Ming would quit telling his tall tales when his cricket became the bird's snack. The battle between the little cricket and the rooster ended with the same result: The rooster sped away in great pain, the little cricket chirping triumphantly on its heels. The magistrate was first astonished and then pleased, thinking that he finally had the very insect that could win him the emperor's favor. He had a golden cage manufactured for the little cricket. Placing it cautiously in the cage, he took it to the emperor. The emperor pitted the little cricket against all his veteran combat ant crickets, and it defeated them one by one. What amused the emperor most was that the little creature could even dance to the tune of his court music! Extremely pleased with the magic little creature, the emperor rewarded the magistrate liberally and promoted him to a higher position. The magistrate, now a governor, in turn exempted Cheng Ming from his levies in cash as well as crickets. A year later, Cheng Ming's son came out of his stupor. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, to the great surprise and joy of his parents. The first word she uttered to his jubilant parents were, "I'm so tired and hungry." After a hot meal, he told them, "I dreamed that I had become a cricket, and I fought a lot of other crickets. It was such fun! You know what? The greatest fun I had was my fight with a couple of roosters!" (Taken from a website)

PATTERN: Baby's Raglan Sweater No Seams by Carol Barenys
SIZE: 6-9 months
YARN: Garnstudio DROPS Merino Extra Fine
Thank you for all the nice comments on the navy! So nice! Here is my finished snuggly spring sweater sort of like Baby Alma's that I started a few weeks ago. This is made out of the same yarn as the navy. I really enjoyed making this one. It's so rare that I ever make something that is plain white! But there was something so soothing about using this color, honestly. It was like knitting up a bowl of vanilla ice cream or something.
I made a few changes to the pattern, including doing the neck, bottom edge, and sleeve edges in moss stitch instead of garter. I also increased a bit through the body at each side to make it slightly A-lined. I made it longer, so it would be like a little coat. And I made two little pockets that I patched on. All of this was fairly easy and didn't make me too nervous. I really don't like going off-trail like that, but, you know, it's life on the edge here at Paulson Place!
A few weeks ago Andy and I had a conversation that went something like this:
Me [looking at a picture that I posted of something complicated that I made — I don't remember what it was — that should've taken me a month and instead took me a week]: "Oh great, now everyone will know that I have no life."
Him: "Oh, they already know that."
Me: "They do?"
Him: "Honey! Yes!"
Me [sheepish]: " . . . "
Him [sheepish]: "I mean . . . yeah. They know that."
Me [smiling/knitting]: "Oh. Oh well!!!"
I love weensy pockets! I stitched them on by hand with regular sewing thread. Not sure if that was the right thing to do, but I couldn't see any other way to do it? These blue plastic gingham buttons came from a lady who had a button booth at Sew Expo this winter. I thought I kept the business cards for everyone I bought stuff from but now I can't find the cards. Drat! Sorry! If anyone might know what the name of that booth was (it was on a corner, and for some reason I think the lady might have been from Seattle?), let me know and I'll add it here. I'd like to get more of them myself!

Voters will decide whether to rent 20 acres of town-owned land on Paul X. Tivnan Drive for a solar farm when semi-annual town meeting convenes Monday.
Selectmen suggested that a lack of spending articles or bylaw changes could keep voters at home Monday. But the articles on the warrant are of importance, and could help solve the town's municipal building dilemma, board Chairman Kevin McCormick said.
An article on the warrant asks for permission to enter into a long-term lease with Borrego Solar Inc., which plans a four-megawatt, 20-acre solar farm on the land, which the town has been seeking to lease for half a decade.
If approved, the deal will leave about 14 usable acres, some of which must be used for municipal purposes under an agreement with the state, which sold 61 acres of land to the town and Municipal Light Plant in 2002.
Under the proposal accepted by selectmen, the electricity produced would be sold to the Municipal Light Plant at competitive rates. Those rates, as well as definitive numbers on what the company is willing to pay for the 20-year lease, are now being negotiated, Town Administrator Leon Gaumond Jr. said. He said he hopes to have a final agreement in time for town meeting.
Based on the proposal, the property is expected to be leased for $100,000 per year. The company will also agree to a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement and will sell power to the Light Plant at 5.5 cents a kilowatt.
Another article would create a special account, through the legislature, to take the money from leases and PILOT agreements on the property and place them directly into a special account known as the Municipal Buildings Account. That money could then be used to plan and build municipal buildings by the building committee.
Selectmen have recently issued a request for proposals for a piece of property in the center of town, with existing buildings preferred, ostensibly to relocate Town Hall and the Senior Center, with room for additional buildings.
Article 15 calls for a large budget adjustment regarding increased veterans services. The town ran into the same predicament last year, when the approved veterans services budget was insufficient and needed emergency funds to make it to the annual town meeting.

Wow! It's been forever since I've last posted pictures. Halloween, that's been a long time. My camera hasn't been working though since my rechargable batteries died off on me. So, I haven't been able to take pictures since Halloween either. Anyway, here are a few pictures of us just hanging out at the house on Saturday having lunch and having a few laughs. Fun times just a chillin'.
Megans gained such a personality lately. It's so fun to make her laugh. We just love to play with her and make her happy.
Yay, CHRISTMAS!!!
Jackson made this paper angel at preschool and liked playing with it. He has had a blast going and has totally grown up going to all his friends house without crying. It's definately been a great thing for him.
Megan is on the go now all the time. It's hard to get a good picture of her holding still and smiling. Growing up, she's close to wanting to walk now, always standing up to everything.

Happy Halloween!
As tradition, we of course carved our pumpkins for Halloween. This year we tried to not go as extreme as we usually do. Dave carved the Superman pumpkin, Jackson wanted a scary Jack-o-lantern for his little pumpkin, and I did Dora the Explorer, since Jackson just loves watching it. This year Jackson was a football player and Megan was a cute little ladybug. We had a fun Halloween going trick or treating and to our friends house for a Halloween party.
Jackson and his little friend Gwyen reading a book together on her couch at her families Halloween party we went to.
Jackson always has to play in the leaves whenever he sees a big pile of them. When I went visiting teaching, him and his friend Savanna had a blast playing in them. He couldn't help but notice that Megan needed to play too. Jackson never wants to leave her out of the fun.
Our Ward Halloween Party
I didn't know being a ladybug was such a common thing for a little girl. It was funny there were two other little girls that were a ladybug other than Megan. We couldn't resist taking a picture of them all together.
Daves friend came to the ward Halloween party. Dave dressed up as Abraham Lincoln and I dressed up as a deviled egg, ha..ha..! It was a lot of fun with the dinner and trunk or treating they had. The ward parties are always a lot of fun to go to, they always do a great job with them.
I felt ambitious and made a Halloween cake for the Ward Party. It was fun, but a lot of work.
Jacksons Preschool Halloween Party
It's been a lot of fun the past few months doing preschool with Jackson and a few of his friends. We will do a lesson everyday with a letter, number and theme. This past week for Halloween, I taught, we did a lot of fun Halloween crafts and treats. One of the days I had a little Halloween party for them and played a few fun games like a cake walk, but with cupcakes, and eat a donut off a string. They had fun dressing up in their costumes. Jackson has had a lot of fun with preschool, it seems already, and has done so much better going to other peoples houses to play without having a hard time when I leave. It has made me sad to see him break out of his shell, now I have to remind him to give me a kiss, a hug, and say bye. He use to cry, hold onto me, and not want me to leave. But now he does wonderful. So that's been very nice to get over.

A Day in Bloomington
Last weekend we went to Bloomington since we've never visited that way, and its not that far away from us. It was a lot of fun. We drove the long way to get there and saw all the pretty leafs that have turned colors also. We spent the day there going to a way good Thai restaurant that Daves friend from work recommended and then went to this childrens museum that wasn't too bad. Jackson and Megan had fun going there, especially after the drive there. It was a smaller kids museum, but it still had a lot of fun things to do there. The dinosaur you see up above would tell you how tall you are if you stand under it. Jackson was kinda scared of it though.
This was a cool towere that the kids could climb up through. Jackson never likes to do these kind of things though for some reason. Same with the play area at McDonalds or Chuck E Cheese. Oh well! I was tempted to climb up it, it looked so fun.
Can you see the lizard? It's kind of hiding.
Megan loved being in this mirror little tunnel where there were mirrors all around her. She's such a girl! Loves to look at herself in the mirror.
Jackson loved playing in this water area. We could have left him there to play for hours. Well worth the money going here, babysitter included, nice! =)
My sweet blue eyed girl!
This was a cool area where water bubbles would form on your hands. Dave tried joining them together. It felt funky!

The Old Days!
My coach from my High School soccer team posted this picture on facebook. It's from my senior class soccer picture we took way back then. It totally took me back to those days when I use to be so much more fit. Man, we worked our tails off back then. I'm still staying in shape, but I've never been in as good of shape as I was back then. Those were a lot of fun memories. Someday I'd really like to play with the girls again. Man, we looked tough! I just love the game!

This article is part of the Mtbr's Enduro Compare-O. See all the stories in this special section here–https://reviews.mtbr.com/category/enduro-compare-o-2014
Specialized has been called "off the back" because of their apparent reluctance to bring 27.5-inch wheeled bikes to market amidst the avalanche of hype. But after spending some quality time on their S-Works Enduro 29, we understand their reasoning—it's hard to imagine the new wheel size would improve anything. In fact the Enduro 29 is so good as-is, we've named it the Best Overall Bike in our Enduro Compare-O, wheel size be damned. Silky smooth on descents, surprisingly capable on climbs and just plain fun to ride, the Enduro 29 dominated our voting. When Spech' inevitably rolls out their 27.5ers—soon we expect—some will say they're just playing catch-up. With the Enduro 29, we say they're already way out ahead.
The Enduro 29's win in this category is not only remarkable because it makes the Specialized the only two-award-winner in our test, but because it beat a strong field of gravity-focused designs like the Orbea Rallon, Rocky Mountain Altitude MSL 770 Rally Edition, and Norco Range Alloy to do it. Through some magic matrix of its big, 29-inch wheels, 155mm of rear travel and ridiculously short chainstays, the Enduro 29 set the standard anytime the trail pointed downward. We'd be remiss not to mention the suspension here—RockShox's über-buttery Pike RCT3 fork and Cane Creek's Double Barrel Air CS rear shock which Specialized balanced to perfection on the E29.
See the rest of the award winners here.
Before the Specialized S-Works Enduro 29 even rolled out of the parking lot, we knew this bike was something very special. Since launching in early 2013, the Enduro 29 has been an award-winning, podium-dominating machine thanks to a groundbreaking short-chainstay design that mixes the nimble handling of a 26-inch bike with the benefits of bigger 29-inch wheels and 155mm of rear suspension travel.
As we stated in our First Look at this bike, the Enduro 29 is an understated yet eye-catching looker. Its matte black and white paint scheme compliments the bike's signature X-Wing front triangle which not only adds to the aesthetics but strengthens and stiffens the front end.

Onward and upward
Given its reputation, there was no doubt the Enduro 29 was going to slay downhill, but what about uphill? When we threw it on the scale we were stunned to find this long-travel 29er weighed in at only 27.3 pounds. Of course, our test bike was outfitted with all the fixins including SRAM XX1, Roval Traverse SL 29 carbon wheels and a heart-stopping $9,250 price tag. Yeah, a lot bit pricey for most people, but then again, a bike like this is not made for most people.
On fire road climbs, riders said the Enduro 29 ascended like a really efficient 140mm bike, with solid traction out of the saddle and an overall eagerness often lacking in other long-travel 29ers. A new lockout feature on the Cane Creek Double Barrel Air CS shock helped pedaling efficiency on longer, steeper climbs. On the technical uphills, the Enduro 29 continued to impress.
"The short chainstay positions the rear wheel directly under the rider for great rear wheel traction while in the saddle and on steeper climbs," said one rider. "The flip side is that if you applied too much power, it would lift the front wheel a bit. Once you get used to the short rear end, you'll find you can climb technical stuff very well."

Quick and nimble
The extremely short 16.9 inch chainstays on the Enduro 29 are part of what makes this bike such a standout. Not only does it help the bike climb better, but cornering, lifting and rolling terrain performance are also enhanced. One of the test riders compared the Enduro 29 to his personal bike—a Specialized Stumpjumper EVO—which has both longer chainstays and less rear travel.
"On rolling terrain, the Enduro 29 feels like a shorter-travel bike—if I didn't look down at the bike I couldn't tell the difference between my Stumpy EVO and the Enduro," he explained. "The one thing that stands out, again, is the short chainstays.
"You can lift the front to manual obstacles with ease—substantially easier than with any other 29er I've ridden," he continued. "This doesn't equate to a faster bike, but it certainly makes it a more fun one."
Other test riders were equally smitten with the Enduro 29's short stays—along with the primo wheelset—and resultant handling.
"The exceptionally short chainstays, and stiff Roval carbon wheels made the Enduro 29 handle with the sharpness and agility of a 26-inch wheel bike," concurred another rider. "I couldn't believe this bike was a 29er—it has uncanny handling prowess."

The undisputed king of descent
Despite the cheers for its handling and climbing abilities, the real pleasure and praise for the Enduro 29 came once the bike was pointed downhill.
"Hands down the best descender in the test," said one rider. "Simply amazing and effortless. So smooth at warp speed. This bike doesn't come alive until most riders are at their absolute limits.
"The Rock Shox Pike up front and 155mm out back made Braille Trail like a kiddie pump track," he continued. "Even the most stutter-bumped sections of trail were smoothed out like a sheet of glass. Such a treat to ride downhill."
The M5 welded aluminum FSR rear triangle with a 12×142 rear thru-axle delivered burly performance while the Cane Creek Double Barrel Air CS shock delivered rear end plushness that seemed to have no limits. The RockShox Pike up front—despite a couple issues detailed below—was an absolute standout performer, upping the bike's overall plushness.

Ibanez working on bunting against shift
WASHINGTON -- Raul Ibanez hasn't had a bunt single since 2003, but he remains determined to use the bunt as a weapon against the shift.
He's 0-for-2 so far, but isn't stopping.
"I worked on that in Spring Training," Ibanez said. "Yeah, I'm going to continue to do that. And hopefully I'll do it better, too. It kind of goes against every rule that you've ever learned about bunting, because you have to bunt it hard. I've got the right angle on it, but I keep catching it off the end of the bat, like you were taught coming up through the Minor Leagues."
Ibanez, batting .152/.211/.318 through his first 18 games, has only five bunt hits in his 19-year career, but wants to try it more frequently this season with third base completely open when he comes to bat -- both as a way to get on base and a mechanism to keep teams from over-shifting him towards right field.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia believes Ibanez has "a little too much touch" right now, but is fine with him continuing to try.
"If you're a golfer and you hit it 400 yards, doesn't mean you don't have to practice a sand wedge," Scioscia said. "There are things Raul will have to do in a game. If we need a baserunner in the eighth inning, and if he can just put the bunt down and walk to first base, that's a very high percentage play for him to get on base."

"The lessons I learned at this tournament were immense," Christenson said. "You can only learn those lessons by playing these top tier teams at such a high level."
Christenson also enjoyed his time in Japan.
"I love Japan. This is my first time here and I'm definitely inclined to come back," he said. "It was an amazing trip."

Blood pressure is the measure of the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls as it flows through the body. It is something that is ever changing and can be forced up or down for a whole variety of reasons. It is a very reciprocal relationship between good health and having a healthy blood pressure level, one that depends greatly on your lifestyle, but can still be greatly affected by genetics and existing medical issues.
When you read your blood pressure, it has a top number (systolic: measures amount of pressure on arteries and vessels while heart is beating), and a bottom number (diastolic: pressure that is exerted on the walls of various arteries around the body between heart beats, or when the heart is relaxed).
Before diving into things, however, let it be known that a 'normal' blood pressure is should usually be somewhere around less than 120 over 80, or 120/80. There can be slight variations and still be considered healthy, but this is a more ideal pressure reading to have.
We will take a brief look at what may cause your blood pressure to drop or rise, how you can pin point the symptoms for either, and what potential consequences are. We will also succinctly discuss what it is you can do when you have either high or low blood pressure, to help alleviate and even get rid of those symptoms you may experience.
High Blood Pressure
Also known as hypertension, high blood pressure ultimately means that there is a high amount of tension within the vessels, making it much harder for the heart to pump blood through them. This would not necessarily mean you have emotional tension or stress, but they are both things that can contribute to a rise in blood pressure.
Other things that will contribute to heightened blood pressure include: smoking, being overweight or obese, lack of exercise, high intake of sodium, high intake of alcohol, and older age. As mentioned before, genetics and existing disease or disorders (especially those having to do with kidneys or thyroids) are big contributors to hypertension.
Some people have claimed experiencing nervousness, sweating, difficulty sleeping, or facial blushing as symptoms of hypertension; others have claimed headaches, nosebleeds, and blood spots in the eyes. Most of these symptoms are inconclusive, and many people will not actually experience symptoms. What is absolutely necessary is having your blood pressure checked at the least somewhat regularly by your doctor. That is the only sure way to know where your levels are at.
If you do have high blood pressure, eating healthier and involving yourself in physical activity are immediate ways to start lowering it. Not only will your blood pressure go down, but other areas of your health are going to improve as well. If you are a smoker, the obvious and really, only option there is to stop smoking. This will drastically improve your health, especially your blood pressure.
If you do not address and start to alter your life style to lower your blood pressure, you will run risks of developing heart disease, kidney disease, hardening of the arteries, eye damage, and stroke. The quicker you make efforts to normalize your pressure, the lesser chance you'll run into any complications down the road.
Low Blood Pressure
Referred to as hypotension, low blood pressure is a harder issue to diagnose, because for many the point at which blood pressure could be too low varies from person to person. In reality, the lower your blood pressure reads, the better, as long as no troubling health symptoms are present. People have had blood pressure as low as 85/55, and have experienced no health complications, so really it is definitely just something you need to pay attention to; too low of pressure could cause inadequate blood flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs.
Some things to be weary of if they are occurring are: dizziness or lightheadedness, fainting, dehydration (which can cause low blood pressure), lack of concentration, blurred vision, nausea, cold and clammy skin, shallow breathing, fatigue, and even depression. A lot of these symptoms can be symptoms of so many other ailments, even just the common cold. So if they persist you should definitely have yourself checked out.
Hypotension can also be a symptom itself of underlying problems; heart problems, endocrine problems, severe infection, allergic reaction, or nutritional deficiencies could be the actual issue you're facing, and a drop in blood pressure could be telling you something. Alcoholism can also cause a severe drop in blood pressure; it was listed above in relation to hypertension, which with it being related to both, it should just be clear that alcohol should be consumed in total moderation.
Having too low of blood pressure as mentioned is not necessarily going to be a complete health issue; it is also very avoidable if you're sure to take care of yourself. Be sure to drink plenty of water, eat healthy, exercise regularly, and get checked by your doctor. Low blood pressure is a much easier thing to deal with, if it gets too low. In many cases however, it won't, so don't worry too much about it. This complication mostly occurs with elderly people, who are possibly going to have a higher chance of the above mentioned health issues.
When it comes down to it…
Unless you have unfortunately inherited a tendency to have high blood pressure, or have developed a disease or disorder that would bring it on, the ball is completely in your court in terms of what your blood pressure levels are at. As we have seen, too low of blood pressure is very rare, and high blood pressure can be brought down through very easy means. It is not only avoidable, but very controllable.

Since I had some PB chips left over from my recipe last week, I decided it was finally time for me to make a chocolate cookie with them in it. I'm surprised I have never made these before. I mean, chocolate...peanut butter...cookie! Seems right up my alley!
These were rather easy to make. In fact, once the butter was soft, I got off the phone with my mom to make them. Then, about 15 minutes later, I called my mom because I forgot to tell her something during our previous chat. I also let her know the cookies were really good.
I do have to say that these are best RIGHT out of the oven. After a couple of days they get rather hard and lose their flavor. And now you have an excuse to eat all the cookies right after they're made. You're welcome.
Peanut Butter Chip Chocolate Cookies (adapted from allrecipes.com)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup white sugar1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup peanut butter chips
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2.In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, fold in the peanut butter chips. Drop cookies by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
3.Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until set. Cool on wire racks.
Bake well and prosper!

On Gasparilla Island, located in southern Charlotte and northwestern Lee County, the invasive and environmentally damaging black spiny-tailed iguana has become a major concern to both environmentalists and residents. Unlike the invasive green iguana found on Sanibel and Captiva, which is an herbivore, the spiny-tailed iguana is an omnivore. It eats not only native vegetation, but also local birds, marsh rabbits, green anoles, young gopher tortoises, and snakes. Since 2006 Lee County has spent an average of $100,000 a year in an attempt to eradicate this invasive from Gasparilla Island. To date, nearly 10,000 spiny-tailed iguanas have been caught and euthanized, mostly from the northern end of the island. The sheer numbers of these lizards, coupled with their high fecundity, make their removal a daunting and expensive task.
The eradication program is having results. In 2010 the number of mature, breeding adults was down considerably from the previous estimates of more than 12,000 lizards. The rise of this invasive on one small island is an ominous tale of a well-meaning but misguided individual who released a few breeding pairs from his backyard cage some 30 years ago. One man, George Cera, has personally captured and killed more than 16,000 black iguanas. He wrote a book about his experiences called The Iguana Cookbook-Save Florida, Eat an Iguana.
To date, this incredibly fecund lizard has not yet made it to mainland Florida. As an omnivore, great climber, and prolific breeder, this large iguana could quickly overrun entire ecosystems. In fact, the black spiny-tailed iguana is noted in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest lizard alive, having been clocked at speeds of more than 21 miles per hour, just shy of the fastest recorded human running speed of 23.4 miles per hour.
Article Photos
The black iguana has few natural predators in Florida. Bobcats have learned to hunt and eat adults, and owls and great blue herons take the juveniles. Alligators would readily eat them but there are no alligators found on Gasparilla Island. The recent cold winters have also helped to keep the burgeoning population in check.

I must admit that my photography skills was rather rusty when I got my hands on a second hand Nikon D300 a few days back. It took me a while to get used to taking pictures using the viewfinder unlike the conventional point and shoot camera via my iPhone.
Anyway, here are some pictures taken at Taste Paradise which is located at Ion Orchard in Singapore. Uncle Liong and Auntie Serene was nice enough to treat us a meal at this very classy restaurant. The food is good and I heard it is one of the best dim sum restaurant around.
Glutinous rice wrapped with lotus leaf was really tasty.
Most of the time, I was too busy configuring the camera settings and forgot to take down the name of the food we ate. Lol. This is the deep fried prawn with mango roll which comes highly recommended by yours truly.
The roast duck is another dish which I like a lot. The sight of the dish is enough to make everyone feeling hungry!
I can't remember what this noodle is called but it has little mushrooms. Good stuff indeed.
This is another unique dim sum with soft tofu inside.
Overall it was a very good meal. I am glad that we were able to try out the food at Taste Paradise.
