Raw Food Eating: How Does it Work?
Alen Mischael Vukelić, Contributor
Waking Times
How long does it take to prepare raw food? Is it good? Isn't raw food boring? Can I eat cooked foods while being on a raw food diet? Isn't raw food complicated?
Sometimes we get asked what do we actually eat as raw fooders. How does our lunch, in reality, look like? These days we get flooded with raw food recipes, ideas and suggestions how to improve our health and lifestyle by eating a better diet, but how does an average raw food lunch appear on our plate?
Many people do understand the health benefits that such a diet might bring, but they are somewhat terrified by the idea to eat raw carrots for lunch and call that a "happy lifestyle".
This article will show you how to access the world of healthy eating without losing the enjoyment of good food.
The ritual around food
I must admit that I had the same worries, especially because – before becoming a mostly raw vegan – I was the classic Mediterranean gourmet who would eat almost everything that was considered edible, and it was always meant a great deal to me in which way food was prepared, served, or decorated – it had to look good, and it had to taste delicious.
I was never the guy who ate just to put something into his stomach, no; I enjoyed the whole ritual around food, and the enterprise of discovering new dishes and ways to prepare them.
Types of raw foodists
I think that anybody considering going raw should understand that there are many different types of raw fooders who eat quite differently from one another. Many people have probably the impression of a somewhat boring diet which takes an awful lot of time for preparation, and if you don't invest that time, then all you can do is eat an apple or banana.
I'm not saying that this is a bad idea, fruits should definitely be eaten abundantly, since they give us most of our daily carbs, but in this era of fancy restaurants and exotic new kitchen styles popping up daily, you really need to have a strong determination to go through all of these distractions that are being offered to you on every corner of the street.
Like in any other lifestyle, there are sub-styles, which can be very different from one another. There are raw fooders who live almost exclusively only from fruits and are sometimes called fruitarians; others drink mostly juices made from fruits and vegetables and are sometimes called juicers.
Another huge group eats almost only salads in every possible way without being called anything; and there are raw fooders who visually prepare their food that looks like any other food – but it isn't.
I believe it derives from your way of eating before going raw – although this, of course, does not apply to everybody – but it surely determines your approach to your new way of eating. I don't think there is anything wrong with it to be different – after all – food should be appealing to you, otherwise there is little fun involved, and I myself believe that it should be!
Can I eat cooked food while being a raw fooder?
This is why we have decided to add another category to our raw food recipes, which will be called 'main courses', to give you some simple ideas how to combine different raw food dishes into a main lunch course, to show you that your lunch will overshadow any of the food distractions offered to you in outside restaurants or elsewhere.
Ah yes, and don't make a religion out of food, but always keep in mind that it is – nevertheless – the most important fuel for a healthy body – and as we have found out – a healthy mind as well.
Don't fall into the trap of punishing yourself because you have "sinned" and eaten some cooked food somewhere outside because nothing else was available, or because your meal contains just 50% raw ingredients instead of a 100. Do as much as you can; this is what really matters.
The understanding that raw food is the best possible nutrition is already a huge step, but of course, don't stay there – make your next step.
Preparation of raw food
Keep it simple! Many raw fooders start out complicated by preparing all sorts of "exotic" food, which takes hours – sometimes days – of preparation, and as a result, people get the impression that raw food preparation is vastly time consuming. Well, it can be, if you are not organized.
We usually need 1-2 days to prepare our food for most of the week; it is much more effective this way. For instance, if you know that you are going to prepare a dish which will involve a raw dough, like for tacos, pizza, or bread, why not prepare three different dishes all at once?
The dehydrated food stays usually good in a refrigerator for up to seven days, so why not prepare pizza, tacos, and bread rolls or crackers all at once? At the actual lunch time, all you have to do is to prepare a spread, or sauce, or dip, which will take you no more then 10 minutes, and in addition to that perhaps a green salad, which will – as well – not take much of your time.
I know there are raw fooders who spent days making complicated nut cheeses and eat the whole thing in less than 15 min. (while delicious – no doubt). You can do that if you got the time and motivation, but for your everyday meals, you should find a combination of fast and easy to make food variations, which will never become boring to you.
Mix it up and think ahead, maybe for a whole week, or for 3-4 days in advance, to organize your time as good as you can.
Smoothies for three weeks
We are big smoothie fans, and like to drink – at least – one a day. For doing so, we sometimes buy 10 pineapples, and we cut them all at once, and put them into a freezer, packed into convenient little bags (reusable), which serve as a basis for making two smoothies, in which we add some bananas and some greens like fennel fronds.
If you are prepared like this, it takes approx. 5-8 min. to make a fantastic smoothie in no time. If you are organized, you will be able to make delicious food and drinks faster than an old-school microwave makes pizza – no joke. And the benefits and enjoyment of eating such food – immeasurable. So I 'd encourage you to jump right into it, because your body can't wait to see you start!
Is it still too much for you? Try this.
If you cannot do any of this, start a whole foods diet in which you will include as many raw ingredients as possible. Don't be a perfectionist; do what is attainable for you.
I agree with Matt Monarch, from the Raw Food World TV Show, that most people will probably have an easier access into this world of healthy food through a somewhat downgraded variation of a raw foods diet, simply because not everyone is the kind of person who is ready to make such a 180 degree change over night.
He even calls himself an extremist – and I have to admit – we both are probably too. But not in the sense of doing something extremely wrong – no! But in the sense of being able to implement a decision virtually overnight, without much doubt, ready to start right away.
I believe diversity is a good thing, and that is why we people differ one from another in our approaches, to basically solve the same problem. I've always valued people who'd make at least some afford than none at all.
Look, as a starter, cook as you always do, but add some little tweaks to it. One of my favorites is to drop cooked sauces, like, for instance, for our spaghettis, rice dishes, quinoa dishes, pizzas, millet dishes, and so on.
If you add a raw sauce to your spaghettis and eat a green salad to it, you are already on a 60% raw foods diet! Cook some potatoes and add a raw sauce on top – 50% raw foods diet! You understand where I'm getting to?
As I've said it before – don't make a religion out of it. If you can't do it at once go slowly and try to discover this new world like an explorer would. Find your own rhythm and stick to it.
How to go from a standard diet to a raw foods diet?
Food should be delicious and not just a healthy nutrient; this is why I believe that you start gradually adding more and more raw ingredients until you get accustomed to your new diet. I mean why should you cook your sauces and dips anyways; there is no reason for it.
I understand that you are not a big fan of raw potatoes at this moment, but once you try a raw sauce; you probably won't go back to cooked sauces. You will notice that most of the regular dishes have a sort of base like rice, noodles, or potatoes, and some kind of sauce or dip on top.
So by exchanging the sauces from cooked to raw, you've already done a lot. The next step should definitely be towards green salads – add them as a side dish whenever you can while in the morning and evening try to eat only fruits or any dishes made from fruit. If you manage to do this, you will soon feel a major difference in your body and mind. It's inevitable.
After some time, try to drop all processed foods like spaghettis and replace them for whole foods instead. Try to avoid everything that is packaged in some sort of sealed container; simply buy fruits and vegetables as they are.
Meat & dairy
I haven't gotten into meat and dairy this far, well, it's one of the bases of being vegan, therefore, cut down on both as soon as possible. Perhaps you isolate it to one day a week until dropping it entirely.
Meat and dairy are not a matter of lifestyle – they are harming your body, and if you are already investigating into vegan food, I suppose you know that, but if you are still unsure about this, I suggest you watch this fantastic presentation of dr. Klaper, which we had published some time ago here on our website.
A way to resist restaurants
One of the most distractive things is to move through the streets of big cities where food is being presented to you on every corner. However, the good news is that raw food restaurants are more and more in numbers, and you will probably be able to find one not very far from you.
What I like is to have some prepared food with me, and sit with my wife somewhere, in a park or similar, eating our delicious food from home. And you know what we do afterwards? We go into one of those health-food shops and buy the best chocolate they have (no sugar, no milk) and enjoy ourselves strolling along the street – eating the whole thing!

Your opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. Veganism isn't the answer for everyone, not is it the salvation of the world, not when your precious soybeans are harvested by a combine that compresses the soil and scoops up small mammals, insects, larvae, etc. and displaces birds and larger mammals in the process. Cruelty free, my foot!
Face it, kids: to live is to cause death. We eat death. Life on this planet consumes itself. You can't escape it any more than you can escape breathing.
While I agree with the Dairy end of it as most cultures blood work will come up Dairy intolerant, the don't eat meat mantra isn't for every genetic background. Some people should be vegan, some not. The eat as much raw as possible is the truth though.
Your statement is benign and void. Raw foodists don't eat soyabeans. Plus the title of this was how raw food eating works not forcing a way of eating on a person. Happy dementedness Sir.
Wow you glass is not half empty it is absolutely bone dry!
A very practical guide, thanks! Two issues I have had : cooked food smells very tempting, but when I have relented I find that it seems the flavor is in the air, not in the food. Your tips on having prepared food along is exactly what is needed for anyone trying to eat healthy AND cheap with tempting foods smelling up the place. The other issue was feeling cold in the Pacific Northwest without hot food. I overheard my answer to this at a lovely raw food restaurant here when a woman confided to her friends "long silk underwear." I try for at least 80% raw and don't make a religion out of it. PS Kieron Soy shmoy. Go feed your animals with grain gotten with Jain-like purity and then let's talk.
I've noticed that I'm finally able to smell uncooked food in the same way I was able to smell cooked food. Maybe it's a 'time' thing – I don't know. And interesting, this "long silk underwear" conversation! I haven't experienced any change in this regard, but we do use a lot of spices in our kitchen – maybe that's the difference.
animals should not be fed grain – they eat mostly grass and herbs
Grain is not a healthy food source for any creatures on Earth, except birds. Farmers feed grain to their animals to make them fat, and grains have the same effect on humans. Grains cause inflaimation and infections in feedlot animals, which is why farmers must use antibiotics. If cows are allowed to eat the food which nature intended for them, which is grass (and hay, which is dried grass)they live long, healthy lives and never get sick. When humans eat the food which nature intended, they also live long, healthy lives and never get sick. When grown in mineral rich soil, grass meets all the nutritional requirements of a cow so they don't need to eat anything else. Grass is mostly cellulose which humans can't digest, but the juice squeezed from grass is all that is needed to sustain human life indefinitely – and it can cure any physical or mental ailment. The single food which comes closest to meeting all the nutritional requirements of human beings is Kale, and of course it must be eaten raw. If a person ate nothing but raw Kale, they would live to be about 120 years old – and never be sick a single day in their life. The reason God created Spinach, and the other great variety of vegetables and fruits, is because He knew people would grow tired of eating nothing but Kale.
Very interesting. I've been living off raw food for 4 years now and my health and spirit feel completely different. I literally never get sick *knock on wood. I'm lucky though, because its not a cure-all, by any means. But its a start.
You should look into Tony Wrights work. His book left in the dark goes into how the raw fruits in Africa that we flooded our systems with for millions of years influenced the evolution of the human brain.
This comment below should have been a reply to you
I eat meat nearly everyday. Lots of milk and cheese too. I do eat plenty of raw and cooked vegetables as well. At 47 I have no health problems and haven't had anything more than a slight cold since my late teens and they occur only rarely maybe at most every 3 or 4 years. I agree that eating some raw food is good for you but beware of parasites wash it well. I don't at all agree with avoiding meat or dairy. If someone adopts a new diet to get healthy, therefore dropping all the processed junk foods and also happens to stop eating meat as well, it may appear as though not eating meat was a factor in their improvement. I never ever eat processed foods, very little bread or grains of any kind and haven't since my late teens.
This sounds really interesting – because it must have influenced our brains – no doubt……………and yes, I haven't been sick in years now, too. And I strongly believe that it is connected to the way I eat – and think.
I like what you say about doing what you can. I try to eat as well as I can but I know its not top priority, but at least I do something. The body is a temple after all…

2004 Nissan Maxima SL Review
Nissan Maxima - Road King — Best Car i have owned so far, Super Quick, Excellent interiors. Muscle car yet elegant, The interior was very spacious and the wooden trim inside gave a luxurious look. Once you buy a maxima, you can never go back to a toyota or any other saloon.

Smooth Ride, Sporty, Very Fast, Responsive, Roomy, Comfortable, Non Robotic Feel, Skyview Roof
Transmission Issues (only on 04-06 models), No Auxiliary ports on 04 model,
Maximum Appeal In A Maximum Sedan — My ultimate dislike in this vehicle was the transmission issues which of course I knew nothing about and Nissan apparently knew everything about. It upset me that more that 75% of Maxima owners with 04-06 models experienced this issue with their vehicles after 4 or more years of having the car. My car is currently at 170,000 miles and it jerks everyday! There is no recall on these transmissions which is crazy to me. At one point this seemed like a small dent in the car's reputation because the look, speed, feel, style, and comfort of the vehicle overshadowed that issue. It handles amazingly when going into a curve and then just shoots off once it get out of one. The braking is good however the car has too much power for such small brakes. The 18" rims are a good look as well especially if they came with stock chrome wheels. I enjoy the sound system (I'm a music buff) but the Bose system doesn't need some work on the mids if it's going to have a lot of bass. I love Love LOVE the Skyview Roof on the vehicle; it really opens up the car. It's roomy enough for 5 adults over 5"11 to sit comfortably. There are lots of buttons that you must get used to but it's fun to know that there are lots of features those buttons control. Gas mileage for me has never been an issue because you have to spend money regardless of the kind of car, especially if it's a full size vehicle. I get 23-24 MPG. I drive highway all the time because my job is 33 miles away. Now that I have had the car for over 9 years though the transmission issue has become an issue of safety and I don't want to spend 4,000 to buy a new one and 500 to get put in. This is why I will be upgrading to a 09-11 model.

Fast, comfortable, roomy rear seat

Not Recomended, Get A Different Year, These Are Nice Cars, But Not The 2004. — This is a fun car to drive, fast, nice features. Why the low scores? At 80,000 I just sunk $3500 for a new transmission, this model year is notorious for bad automatic trannies - BEWARE! Get a different year model of this car.

Power, Build, features and looks good
torque steering and sunroof
2004 Maxima — Acceleration and braking is great with the torque steering as a minus and the turning radius is less than average. It's a nissan so the car is lasting so far as most foreign cars are more dependable when you maintain it well. MPG is about 18-21 miles per gallon on average so its not bad...I think.

powerful engine, smooth handling, stylish looks
turning radius, cheap interior
Keep Tweaking, Nissan — Ok, so I had my Maxima for 1 year and the only reason I sold it was because the turning radius sucked. Very roomy interior and lots of pep in the engine. The car was powerful, stylish, and fun to drive, but not being able to do a standard u-turn really irritated me. And some interior compartments were cheaply assembled.

2004 Nissan Maxima SE Review
Awesome Car - Sporty Yet Refined — I was impressed with the 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5SE. I have been driving it as a loaner from a family member while my car is in the shop. Even with 102,000 this car is running strong and I believe shows the normal reliable Nissan reputation. The car's design is very modern and has the typical Nissan sport look but yet seems to be more on the side of luxury. Under the hood however, is all sport. With dual exhaust and a powerful 3.5 V6 the car is very impressive. The car is very fun to drive due to this fact if acceleration is important to you. Passing power is also nothing to worry about, in tight situations where going from 50 - 70 in a hurry is important, this car handles the task with ease. Inside the car is very sporty yet has a hint of luxury with leather, Bose audio, auto climate control, seat and steering wheel memory, heated steering wheel, etc... you'll find a lot of touches that are typically reserved for luxury cars. Also this car has the Nissan Skyview Skylights. Though they don't open to let air in (simply for light only) I have had many people comment on how they like the look from the outside and I've had almost all my backseat passengers comment on how they enjoyed having the skylight in the back as well. If properly taken care of, this is an awesome car that has excellent reliability.

Great car for long trips
being a six cilinder it always cost a little more to fill up
Lovely — Had this car for about 2 years, bought it from a relative who was getting a Lexus at the time. Love the looks and the feel of the car. Nothing beats those heated seats in New Yorks cold mornings. Drove it to Boston (500 miles two ways) on one tank and a quarter. Very confortable ride.

25K was a good price for a car of this class.
Torque steer, I dislike Eagle SE-R tires, 3 recalls
Look At Motor Trend Or Something Else To Find The Best In Class Cars — The Performance was good, with its VQ 3.5, but the FF layout made this car torque steer. Manu-Matic is fun and automatically shifts up after 6k RPM. Build Quality was a little less than I hoped for, some fit and finish problems near the console and passenger cabin. The Appearance was slick, but the midnight blue color begs to be cleaned often. It costs alot more gas than I thought it should but it was mostly for city drivin., IMO the car has problems with the engine mount and AC vents, especially on the passenger side. The Fun Factor is average, it feels somewhat unrefined and the sport suspension isn't too comfy on some bad Hawaii roads.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - New Hampshire's House has postponed a vote on whether motorists should pay 15 cents more per gallon of gas or diesel fuel to help fix deteriorating roads and bridges.
The House was to vote on the proposed hike Wednesday but canceled the House session due to the snowstorm. The House is scheduled to take up the bill next week.
New Hampshire has not raised its 18-cent tax in 22 years and supporters say more money is needed to finish expanding Interstate 93 from the Massachusetts border to Manchester and for other highway improvements. The bill calls for increasing the tax on gas over four years and on diesel over six years.
Meanwhile, the Senate proposes legalizing video slots to raise money for the highway projects.

Back in March, a Florida pre-teen was held responsible for the death of his baby brother and was arrested for murder. His mother said that the little boy hit his head on the bookcase, but officials proved that she was covering up the real crime for her older son. This is a rough case because both the perpetrator and the victim are children.

The Girl in the Window1 Reviews
my first post, take a chance with it. feedback welcome.
I twitch. nothing happens and i twitch. But i'm still looking. Her hip is pushed out just so and oh god how i hated that hip. I know I've had enough but I'll still stay until the darkness is enough to send me home to watch the mold grow. but i can't think of that now. SHE's all that's here. SHE's all that's real. she's all that's real and I want it to die. I want her to shatter into a thousand pieces and i wouldn't cry because she's up there and I'm down here and I don't like that at all. like i didn't like how she made my mind go wrong.
She won't drop, he tells me. and yet another tells me to stay. I look into the garbage disposal that is her mirror and it looks back at me. Could it be... I envy an inanimate object? Could it be I have become the inanimate object?
It was all the same in the end.

Beyonce reveals in the March issue of Vogue that daughter Blue Ivy is her "homey" and they communicated during labour. "She's my road dog. She's my homey, my best friend."
"I had a very strong connection with my child," the "Crazy in Love" singer tells Vogue. "I felt like when I was having contractions, I envisioned my child pushing through a very heavy door. And I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn't think about my own pain...We were talking. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt a communication."
The day Blue was born was "the best day of [her] life." And every day since has been better because of it. "I feel like I have something that has grounded me so much more," she gushes to the magazine. "Family has always been important. I've always had my mother and my father and my husband. But it's just...Life is so much more than...It's not defined by any of this [fame or money]."
Did you feel like you were communicating with your child during labour? Or was the pain too distracting to think of anything else?

I have to giggle at this because when i was in labour, it was with my second one because my first was born via c-section so with my second she was born naturally and i actually got to experince the whole what it feels like but when i was pushing my daughter would kinda pop her head through and then when i stopped she would go back in! Lol they had to end up getting the vacuum and getting her out that way. So all i was thinking was get this baby out PLEASE! Lol

Our family joined BBMH 5 years ago. For the new families joining us, we have a 5 year old son just completing EDK and a 7 year old son in year 2. From my first phone call of inquiry to BBMH, I knew that we were on to something when it came to this school. What sealed the deal and has kept us here are the wonderful teachers who have touched each of our lives. But I was asked to express our thanks and appreciation for Jana, so my focus will be on her.
Jana...where do I begin? There are so many great adjectives one could use to describe you. Highly intelligent, trustworthy, fun loving, warm, funny....I could go on. But when I sat down to think about what I was going to say tonight, I had so many "Jana stories" that I thought I would share a couple with everyone tonight to illustrate how absolutely amazing we think you are. It was really tough, but we narrowed it down to two.
Jana was Aydan's very first teacher—he spent three incredible years with her. He soaked up and thrived on what many of us parents refer to as "Jana-Time." Like most children at that age, Aydan's world revolved around his mother. He would often jump in my lap and play this wonderful game with me. He would ask me, "Mom, do you know who my favourite person in the whole wide world is?" Having played this 'game' before, I would respond with, "Who?" He would cover me with kiss and say, "You." What mother's heart wouldn't melt playing this game? One day during Aydan's 2nd year of preschool, Aydan asked me again, "Mom, do you know who my favourite person in the whole world is?" I in turn asked, "Who?" With pure love shining in his eyes, Aydan smiled and said, "Jana." My heart must have stopped for a moment and I literally paused. "Jana?" I repeated. "Yep," beamed my son. That truly was a defining moment in my life as a mother. I am not going to lie, I was a little astonished that I had been usurped.... But I had tears in my eyes as I hugged my son and covered him with kisses and squeezed him tight! How could I explain to this child how much it meant to me, that he had such a strong and positive connection with his teacher? He obviously understood and appreciated how wonderful you are!! I was bursting to talk to you that very moment....but I held my joy and excitement in check until the next day. When I told you what Aydan had said, you had the "I am not so sure how to respond to the fact the your son loves me as much as he loves his own mother" look. I attempted to explain to you how overjoyed I was that Aydan could see and appreciate all the fine qualities that make you one of the most valued teachers to have influenced our lives.
When our youngest was finishing his first year of pre-school, George and I contemplated moving to a different city. My parents were thrilled at the prospect that 4 out of 5 of their offspring would be living in the same city as them. As we weighed the options one key factor that always had us hesitate was that Ashton wouldn't get his fair share of "Jana-Time." Now some people may find it absurd that we would make such a huge family decision on moving cities based on our child's teacher. I honestly thought that my parents and siblings would think we were nuts, BUT I was so wrong. I guess over the years George, the boys and I have shared sooo many stories about our interactions with you and how you have been such a positive influence on our family, that when I told them that I couldn't possibly deprive Ashton of "Jana-Time" they all paused and agreed that would be wholly unfair – so we didn't move mostly thanks to you! More recently, while we were in Cuba, Ashton must have been horsing around. My brother got down to Ashton's eye level and simply said, "Ashton, what do you think Jana would say right now?" Wow, talk about instant reaction and correction of behaviour and attitude. So not only have you touched the lives of your students and their parents, but you have impacted people who live in another city...and even they appreciate the beauty of you!
So Jana, I am confident that I speak on behalf of all of the parents you have "taught" not to mention our children who are your students: Your love for guiding our children and teaching them the fundamentals (scholastically and socially) are valued more than words can ever tell you!! Your ability to always see the glass as half full and your love for life and for those around you is a treasure that will grow within our children into adulthood. Very simply, thank you for being you!!

This Mother's Day, treat your mother right. Don't disrespect her, or any other mothers. Because if you do, Mr. T might have to intervene and rap about it.
Just remember: If you're puttin' down one mother, you're puttin' down mothers all over the world.
Be Somebody…Or Be Somebody's Fool. (via Found Footage Fest)
Here are the lyrics: (download the actual song here)
There is no other
Like Mother
So treat her right
I always love her
My mother
So treat her right, treat her right
M is for the moan, and the miserable groan
from the pain that she felt when I was born
O is for the oven with it's burnin' heat
where she stood makin' sure I had something to eat
T is for the time that she stayed up at night
and took my temperature when I wasn't feelin' right
H is for the hard earned money she spent
to keep clothes on my back and try to pay da' rent
E is every wrinkle I put on her face
and every worry that I caused when I stayed out late
The last letter R is that she taught me respect
and for the room up in heaven that I know she'll get
She's a Queen
Second to none
Take care of Mother
You only get one

That's right, The Golden Girls' own Rose Nylund… the incomparable Betty White, is slated to host the May 8th "Mother's Day episode" of SNL! That this didn't happen sooner is perhaps life's biggest mystery.
Betty's self-deprecating humor and quick wit is sure to be a great match for Saturday Night Live, and we're excited to see what is likely going to be one of the more memorable SNL episodes.
According to People, "…the special Mother's Day episode will also reunite six former female SNL cast members, most of whom happen to be moms: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch." While the 88 year old Betty White is not actually a mom herself, she is perhaps "a mother of great comedy". That's good enough for us.
How did this happen? A Facebook fan page titled "Betty White to Host SNL (please?)!" creeped up soon after a Snickers commercial featuring Betty White getting tackled in a muddy football game aired during the 2010 Super Bowl. A groundswell of support and petitioning of Lorne Michaels made it all happen!

Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake offered up an eyebrow raising follow up to Dick In a Box, this time a wonderfully inappropriate Mother's Day seduction song called Motherlover. Susan Sarandon plays Samberg's mom and Patricia Clarkson plays Timberlake's mom. Each of them tries to seduce the other one's mom as a gift for Mother's Day. Lyrics after the video.
Dick In a Box actually won a fricken Emmy. I wonder if this will follow in its footsteps. Motherlover was directed by The Lonely Island dudes, Akiva Shaffer and Jorma Taccone.
The lyrics to Motherlover:
Andy Samberg: Oh dang…
Justin Timberlake: What is it dawg?
AS: I forgot it's Mother's Day
JT: Didn't get a gift for her
AS: Other plans got in the way
She'll be so disappointed
JT: Damn I forgot it too
AS: This could have been avoided
Both: What the hell are we gonna do?
JT: My mom's been so forlorn ever since my daddy left.
JT: No one to hold her tight, life has put her to the test.
AS: I know just what you mean, my mom's been so sad and gray
JT: Word
AS: My dad can't satisfy her in the bedroom ever since he passed away
Both: Hold up
AS: You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
JT: I'm thinkin' I'm thinkin' too
Both: Slow up
AS: What time is it dawg?
JT: It's time for a switcharoo
Both: We both love our moms, women with grown women needs
I say we break 'em off and show 'em how much they really mean
'cause I'm a mother lover, you're a mother lover
We should fuck each other's mothers
Fuck each other's moms
I'm pushin' that lady where you came out as a baby
ain't no doubt that shit is crazy
Fuckin' each others moms
'cause every Mother's Day needs a Mother's Night
If doing it is wrong, I don't wanna be right
I'm callin' on you 'cause I can't do it myself
to me your like a brother, so be my Motherlover
AS: I'm layin' in the cut waitin' for your mom clutchin' on this lube and roses
JT: I got my digital camera, I'm gonna make your momma do a million poses
AS: They will be so surprised
JT: We are so cool and thoughtful
AS: Can't wait to pork your mom
JT: I'm gonna be the syrup, she can be my waffle
Both: Sho' Nuff
JT: My mother loves bubble bath with chamomile
Both: Straight up
AS: Give it to my mom d- d- d- d- d- d- doggie-style
Both: This the perfect plan
For a perfect Mother's Day
They have to rename this one
All up under the covers day
'cause I'm a mother lover, you're a mother lover
We should fuck each other's mothers
Fuck each other's moms
I'm pushin' that lady where you came out as a baby
ain't no doubt that shit is crazy
Fuckin' each others moms
AS: Break it down
It would be my honor to be your new stepfather
JT: It would be my honor to be your new stepfather
AS: I'll let you do my mother, make me another brother
and I'm gonna do your mother
I'll never use a rubber
'cause every Mother's Day needs a Mother's Night
If doing it is wrong, I don't wanna be right
I'm callin' on you 'cause I can't do it myself
to me you're like a brother, so be my mother lover
They blessed us both with the gift of life
She brought you in this world so I'm a sex her right
This is the second best idea that we've ever had
The choice can be no other
Be my mother lover
Happy Mother's Day

A Note from our Editor . . .
The literature of greats like Pierre Berton and Robert Service does not lie -- the Yukon most definitely has an extraordinary mystique to it, which is why our magazine is fittingly titled, Yukon, North of Ordinary. Four times a year we celebrate the stories, successes, and breathtaking scenery that make the territory such an incredible place to love for locals and visitors alike.
Yukon, North of Ordinary is truly a unique publication. We're about the territory, made by the people who call it home--or those who call it a home away from home. Our Harper Street Publishing team is made up of individuals scattered across this fine region, from Whitehorse and Carcross, to Dawson City, and even Atlin, B.C. (Yukon's adopted community to the south). It's our goal to bring the Yukon to our pages via the lively words of our writers and the unforgettable images of our photographers.
We always love to hear what you have to say. Don't hesitate to write us about what you loved, what you didn't, and what you want to see on future pages. And don't forget to take Yukon, North of Ordinary with you when you travel. Just be sure to snap a few photos of yourself with the magazine at your ultimate destination and share it with us for our "On Tour" section in each issue.
Whether you're a territory dweller or tourist, there is so much to explore in our vast northern corner of the nation. I look forward to continuing to discover the extraordinary and sharing it with you in each and every issue.

The Mime Book: A Comprehensive Guide to Mimeby Claude Kipnis
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The great French mime performer, Claude Kipnis, reveals the mechanisms and techniques of mime in an easy-to-understand translation. This is not a theoretical "art of" book, but a functional "how to" and "why to" instructional guide. Individual exercises are included, together with detailed coverage of body movements, the illusion and how to create a world. We know of no other book that so comprehensively explains how the functions of mime are achieved. Certainly a basic text for any aspiring mime.

Katie says: The Stabilyx has become one of my favorite styles from CW-X. The Conditioning Web wraps around my hamstrings and knees providing muscle support. It's structured without feeling restrictive. My favorite feature is the abdominal panel. I have a tendency to bend at my core when feeling fatigued. The panel wraps around my stomach and hips, keeping me straight and aligned. The fabric is lightweight and dries fast; just like how I run! All these features keep me comfortable mile after mile.
A CW-X® Conditioning Wear® product with the latest new patented Conditioning Web™ design, a built-in taping system based on Kineseo-taping techniques, engineered to deliver support to specific muscles and joints in the body where it is needed most. The Stabilyx Tight features Targeted Support to the lower back/core area, the knee joint, and surrounding muscles for greater overall stability and power.
- 80% Coolmax®/20% Lycra® 4-way stretch body fabric to keep the body cool and dry, pulls moisture away from the body and carries it to the outside of the tight
- 80% Nylon/20% Lycra® 2-way stretch Conditioning Web™ fabric
- patented Conditioning Web™ technology for Targeted Support helps the muscles and ligaments band together to stabilize the knee joint, hips, and pelvis
- the taping support commonly applied to injured muscles is here harnessed to uninjured muscles, helping make sure they stay that way
- abdominal support panel provides extra support to the lower abdominal muscles
- gentle and continuous support in the calf to both the medial and lateral head of the gastrocnemious muscle

Fitness Is My Witness
I wore these tights in a 5K. They were comfortable, warm and I felt great at the end of the race. My legs were not as tired as they have been in the past. These tights are excellent!!

- Inseam: Feels true to length
- Waist: True to size
- I would recommend this to a friend
They are great. Keeps tight for sure.
They fit like a perfect glove. Although the reflecting bands are not holding (nothing would hold on that kind of stretch anyway). The look is awesome and it does facilitate the recovery after workout. Would recommand it 100%
Service comments: Second time I buy from Team estrogen and I'm VERY pleased with they're service. Don't know if they are more expensive than others and I don't want to know
- Breath-ability
- Stylish
- Comfortable

I'm training for my second marathon and these pants are amazing. My legs feel so much better during my long runs and I don't feel sore the next day! They are tight, but don't feel uncomfortable, and they're supposed to be tight. I love them and would buy them again!

- Good Support
- Comfortable

- Lightweight

- Fit: Feels true to size
Great product!
I purchased these tights to help support my IT band as well as my calves during long runs. I have not had any issues while wearing them. I also like that they have reflective stitching which is great for cloudy days or evening runs. I think I need to get insulated tights for cold weather, but these are good for 40-50 degrees. I tend to be cold, though, so others may think they are OK in colder weather. All in all, a very good product.
- Comfortable
- Moisture Wicking
- Good Support
- Running
- Fit: Feels true to size
It's a miracle!
Where to begin?
Putting them on: these are compression tights, give yourself a good 3 minutes to put them on properly. Put socks on first. You don't want your toenails catching in the fabric as you slide your feet through. Use the pads of your fingers to work the tights into place, not your nails. Follow the instructions on the hang-tag about arranging the tights to the knees before pulling them up. (oh, and go commando. there is a floating gusset so you won't have seam irritation.)
Fit: I used the fit chart provided by CW-X. Right now I am 40 lbs heavier than I was 2 years ago, so I was a bit worried that the athletic fit might be a problem. No problem! And no sausage legs! The tights make even me look sleek and smooth. The fit was beautiful. The Stabilyx tights are very comfortable once you get them adjusted correctly. They give firm support without any sense of constriction.
Performance: Which helped more, the compression or the kineseotape effect? Heck if I know! What I do know is that I ran my regular route this morning. Same speed, same route. Normally near the end of my run I'm getting tired and sloppy and starting to hear the siren call of my waiting coffee pot. The tights really shone at the end of my run, because I was feeling perky and strong and warm and NOT tired. In fact, my legs felt so good that I extended my run until the dog was starting to get unhappy and the call of the coffee was strident.
Warmth: This was my first run in the Stabilyx tights. Normal chilly rainy weather for this time of year. My legs were surprisingly warm in just the tights. I had considered wearing my Hind running pants over them, but the tights looked so good I went without. Turns out they were perfect on their own. Not too hot, not sweaty and clammy, not chilly.
Look: I looked just like Seven of Nine. Really. Actually, I looked darn good. I've never gone for my run dressed only in tights. My old tights were for extra warmth, and I wore them UNDER my running pants. Nobody got to gaze at my blobbiness as I ran. BUT, the CW-X designers know their stuff. I ran in these tights alone, and I looked good! The compression panels smooth out the lumps and blobs and hold everything still. My fat didn't jiggle. The different colors of gray create a bit of camoflage or visual misdirection, which also helps.
Let me reiterate the most important quality of these tights: My Fat Didn't Jiggle.
(any of you who have been running while overweight know the pain of bouncing fatty whiplash. it honestly hurts. no pain with these tights!)

In the heart of old Poznan, the capital of Great Poland since ancient times, there is a public square called Rynek Glowny. The houses around it aren't as lovely as those of Krakow, but they have been charmingly painted and there is a faded graciousness that wins the heart. The plaza came through World War II more or less intact, but the Communist government apparently could not bear the thought of so much wasted space. What use did it have? Public squares were for public demonstrations, and once the Communists had seized control on behalf of the people,

After seemingly countless delays, GT5 will finally be released on November 24th – just in time for Christmas. What's even more exciting is that Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) and Polyphony Digital Inc., in partnership with Nissan North America, have announced the opportunity of a lifetime for GT gaming and racing enthusiasts. They are about to make thumb bandits' dreams come true by giving gamers the opportunity to experience a proper professional racing experience. Similar to the setup in 2008, the GT Academy 2010 will be launched on December 1st in North America and will serve as a platform for fans of GT5 to see if their Playstation skills match up to their real world racing ability. The GT Academy will challenge gamers and racing fans alike across the U.S. to compete in a series of predetermined online time trials. The cars will obviously be various Nissan models that will built up from road going versions through to hardcore race-spec machines.
Hit the jump for details on the competition and how to enter.
Throughout the course of the competition, participants will earn freebies in the form of digital content just for playing, as well as have an opportunity to win prizes for winning regional time trials. The next step will promote the top 32 virtual racers in the country to the live national finals event scheduled for March 2011, where they stand a chance to become one of 16 GT Academy finalists. The 16 finalists will compete against each other in a series of challenges, including behind the wheel of real Nissan race cars, for a chance to become a professional race car driver as the GT Academy winner for the U.S. The winner will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to train with elite race car drivers at international tracks and race as part of a professional team.
Judging from the outcome in 2008 where the GT Academy team competed in a Le Mans GT2 car in Dubai, the premise of creating a race outfit from gamers has some merit. The team actually finished third in class whilst competing against pro drivers – an achievement they can be very proud of.
"With the upcoming launch of Gran Turismo 5, it's a very exciting time to team up with Nissan and announce GT Academy," said Scott A. Steinberg, VP of Product Marketing, SCEA. "With the realistic racing experience that only Gran Turismo 5 provides, GT Academy will identify someone who truly has the skills to become a pro race car driver, providing the chance of a lifetime to win the ultimate prize."
"This is a great opportunity for Nissan to bring GT Academy to the U.S. and support the launch of Gran Turismo 5" said Jon Brancheau, Vice President Marketing, Nissan. "Gran Turismo 5 provides an amazingly realistic racing experience and we're taking that to the next level by putting 16 finalists behind the wheel of a Nissan race car with the chance to become a race driver with a professional team. Nissan vehicles are known for innovation and performance, so this is a perfect way to demonstrate and deliver on that promise."
The competitors' journey will be documented in a multi-episode reality show airing exclusively on SPEED channel in 2011. The reality show series will start filming in March 2011 from the GT Academy finals through training as a pro race driver and the event finale where they will compete in a legitimate race against pros. The competition will run as follows:
Phase One
Racing enthusiasts will put their racing and gaming skills to the test as they compete in various regional online ladders playing Gran Turismo 5 on the PlayStation®Network. Finalists will then participate in a live head-to-head competition.
Phase Two
16 lucky finalists emerge from the live event and go behind the wheel of real cars, including the Nissan 370Z and GT-R , at a comprehensive GT Academy 'boot camp'. The 'boot camp' will be featured as part of a multi-episode reality show to air on SPEED.
Phase Three
The 2011 U.S. Winner will train to become a professional driver in preparation for competing as part of a professional team at a major race event.

Supporters' club say visit of Everton is a dream come true.
News of Everton's pre-season games in Indonesia has been greeted with excitement by Blues supporters in the country.
David Moyes and his squad will head to Jakarta next month to play in the Java Cup, along with Galatasaray and teams from Indonesia and Malaysia.
And they will be roared on by a band of fanatical followers who live and breathe Everton despite being based 8,000 miles away.
The IndoEvertonians, the nation's official supporters' club, were present at the launch press conference this week where they met Marouane Fellaini – and they can't wait to see the rest of the squad.
How do you feel about Everton coming to Indonesia?
We are all very happy and excited. It feels like a dream come true. Finally we can meet our heroes and see Everton play. We have an Everton community in Indonesia - we call it IndoEvertonian. We have more than 300 registered members so far but there are more 'unregistered' supporters as well.
It is such a wonderful thing that Everton has decided to come to our country. Most of us can't afford to go to Goodison Park, so we are very happy to hear of this tournament. So when Everton play in Jakarta, fans from all over Indonesia will come. IndoEvertonian has invited Blues from Malaysia to come to Jakarta in order to watch Everton together.
What was it like to meet Marouane Fellaini at the press conference?
He was very pleasant to us. We were so happy to meet him and he's so nice and humble. He even came to see us before we entered the press conference. He's a really nice person.
How popular is football in Indonesia?
Football is the most popular sport here. You can see kids and people playing football almost everywhere. There's doubt that football is very popular - as is badminton.
What is the quality of Indonesian and Malaysian football like?
It is good, but it is still far below the European standard. Both Indonesia and Malaysia are very good teams in their region and actually played in the final of the 2010 AFF Cup - a tournament for South Asian countries. Malaysia won it on that occasion.
How hot will it be at 9pm when Everton play?
It won't be too hot by Indonesian standards, the temperature will be around 20-30°C.

A non-profit legal watchdog group in Washington has filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Ga) in response to a story in this past Sunday's AJC.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed the complaint Wednesday, arguing that Deal violated House rules and federal law by intervening with Georgia political leaders to preserve a program that financially benefits him.
CREW's complaint comes the day after a North Georgia Republican activist asked the U.S. House Committee on Standards to look into the questions raised by the AJC.
CREW contends that Deal "may have committed a federal crime by using his positions and congressional resources to engage in self-dealing, thereby depriving his constituents of his honest services."
The AJC reported Sunday that Deal, a 2010 Republican candidate for governor, pressed state leaders, including Revenue Commissioner Bart Graham to preserve a state program that earns his company about $300,000 a year and him personally up to $150,000 a year.
Deal said he was simply acting as any businessman would and that he was serving his constituents' interests.
Update: 3:08 p.m. Deal responds via an e-mail from his congressional office: "I welcome the opportunity to defend myself and my office from this allegation that has been made. The implication that I intervened with state officials to benefit myself is completely outrageous and false. I look forward to a speedy resolution as not to distract from my duties and service to the Ninth District of Georgia."

Deal and Oxendine are both shady characters. They need to do GA a favor and leave politics. It is politicians like the 2 of them that have always looked out for themselves and put America in the situation we now face.

Crew is a "watchdog" group founded by George Soros. CREW routinely goes after Republicans. This will not hurt Deal at all, and it may even do the opposite.

Who was the last Congressperson to be elected GA Governor? Seems like something that never happens at least since WWII.

Come on guys, didn't you know the only requirement for serving in Congress is one of the three following: 1: Remodel your home with special interest money, 2: patronize local brothels, and/or 3: Hang out in airport bathroom stalls. Mr. Deal didn't do any of these – opps, sorry I forgot, buddy up with local law makers for special interests would count wouldn't it. Sorry Deal, you made the wrong deal.

DMX Barks At God, Rihanna Gets Nasty On Santa Claus, Charles Barkley Raps "N***s In Paris"?
Maintaining Monday. It's a day where we're all trying to maintain our sanity after plenty of Thanksgiving vacation relaxing, so why not start things off with DMX getting into a conversation with God? Speaking of iconic figures, did Rihanna get really freaky with the one and only Santa Claus? If that's hard to believe, then watching Charles Barkley rapping to "N*ggas In Paris" is just craziness. All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
1. The Holy X<
Is DMX getting himself out of trouble and back to his religious roots? It might look that way after having a brief conversation with the Man Upstairs in a new song. It looks like X has a lot to get off of his chest and with some help courtesy of Dame Grease, that's going down. XXL Mag is on it:
DMX has been in trouble with the law a lot recently, but he's finally back in the studio. A video taken on Thanksgiving eve in producer Dame Grease's studio shows the Yonkers MC working on a new song, titled "Never Give Up." According to X's publicist, it will be a gospel song, similar to "Lord Give Me A Sign," a single released off his 2006 album, Year Of The Dog…Again. No word yet on where this song will appear, but, based on comments made by Swizz Beats recently, it seems as though X is working on a new album. (XXL Mag)
Is DMX still going to be able to win over the younger audiences? He hasn't done much to stay relevant in the hip-hop community other than getting arrested and having his run-ins with the law. Is it too little too late for X? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. RiRi Grinding On Santa Claus
Is Rihanna is the biggest freak in the music industry? You might think so if you followed her on Instagram. While we wait for new music from Rih-Rih, it looks like she's having too much fun with her spare time. RumorFix has her latest antic:
Rihanna is definitely going on Santa's naughty list this Christmas.
The singer took to her Instagram on Saturday to debut a shot of her straddling Santa Claus' poor dear face.
The raunchy singer captioned the flick, 'We tried to convince Santa that being a naughty girl isn't so bad after all!!….making the list or nah?'
Luckily, RiRi wasn't getting frisky with a real Santa–it was just a life sized doll! (RumorFix)
Is Rihanna getting too old for these games? Is it still cute and sexy or are people started to get bored with this stuff? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
3. Good Luck, Chuck
Is Charles Barkley good luck? He might not have won an NBA championship, but he appeared to have some good luck over the weekend when he enjoyed shots and sang songs like "N*ggas In Paris" before for Auburn versus Alabama game. Black Sports Online is on it:
If you had a vision of what Charles Barkley would look like rapping "N**** in Paris" it would probably look like this (language is NSFW). Barkley was in Auburn for the Iron Bowl and maybe him buying shots for everyone Friday Night was good luck? War Eagle. (Black Sports Online)
It's good to see even though Charles Barkely might be old school, he has an idea of what's relevant in the hip-hop world. The biggest question is if this is going to be a trend? Bring Barkley to your team's rally parties in hopes of winning? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
That about wraps it up for today. This is SOHH On The Spot giving you the morning scoop from your favorite gossip sites.

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks traded shortstop John McDonald to Pittsburgh on Wednesday for a player to be named or cash, giving the Pirates some much-needed infield depth.
The trade came two days after Pirates backup shortstop Chase d'Arnaud, injured in a rundown drill earlier, had surgery for a torn ligament in his left thumb. He is expected to be sidelined six to eight weeks.
The 38-year-old McDonald hit .249 in six homers and 22 RBIs in 70 games for Arizona last season and gives the Pirates an experienced reserve for regular shortstop Clint Barmes.
McDonald, who can also play second base and third base, made only one error in 210 chances last season.
"He's a very accomplished defensive player and a veteran presence," Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said. "He brings depth and stability at a position where all of a sudden we didn't have much depth or stability."
McDonald found himself the odd man out at a crowded position. Cliff Pennington and Willie Bloomquist are expected to share the spot when the season begins, with top prospect Didi Gregorius waiting at Triple-A Reno.
McDonald has spent parts of 14 seasons in the majors with Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto and Arizona. He went to Arizona along with Aaron Hill in a trade that sent Kelly Johnson to Toronto in August 2011.
McDonald appeared in a career-high 123 games with Toronto in 2007 and batted .251. He is a .237 career hitter.
We like the defence and we like the player," Huntington said. "Secondarily, he brings experience. He's been through the battles."

Cherington hopes less medical controversy for SoxFebruary 17,2013THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT MYERS, Fla. Boston Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington hopes a reorganized medical staff leads to less controversy about injuries.
Former closer Jonathan Papelbon, who left after the 2011 season, told ESPNBoston.com last weekend that he and several of his former teammates were regularly injected with the legal painkiller Toradol, an anti-inflammatory drug that is not banned by Major League Baseball. Papelbon singled out Mike Reinold, Bostons former head physical therapist.
Its been really a two-year process of reorganizing the medical staff, Cherington said Saturday.If things are going well in that area, were not talking about it nearly as much as we have, and youre not hearing from them. Youre not hearing from the medical staff nearly as much as we have. So thats our hope going forward, that were hearing from the guys in uniform a lot more and the guys in the training room less.
Twenty-seven Boston players spent time on the disabled list in 34 stints last year, the most by any team since at least 1987, according to STATS LLC.
Reinold was let go by the Red Sox after last season. Dr. Thomas Gill, the Red Sox medical director for seven seasons, departed after 2011 in the reorganization and Dr. Peter Asnis was promoted head team orthopedist after being with the club a team physician since 2005.
Boston had considered retaining Reinold as a consultant.
Theres no current agreement, Cherington said. Its something we had talked about, and well see if it makes sense.
After a 7-20 finish in September 2011 cost Boston a playoff berth, the Red Sox went 69-93 last year for their most losses since 1965 and finished last in the AL East for the first time since 1992.
Cherington didnt want to react to sometimes critical comments by Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez, traded by the Red Sox to the Dodgers last summer as part of the deal that also sent Josh Beckett and Nick Punto to Los Angeles.
Certainly some of those guys have done a lot for the Red Sox over long period of time, Cherington said. And at the time, we said we wish them well. We still wish them well. Again, were focused on the guys we have here now and we wish them well other than when we play them this year.

A murder suspect who tried crossing into the U.S. illegally appeared in video court Thursday night.
Alejandro Talamantes is booked into the Pima County Jail. He confessed to officers he is wanted for murder. As he faced a judge for the time, he was also very talkative.
A judge told him to keep tight lipped and only talk to his lawyer as Talamantes apparently gave up too much information in Spanish.
Customers and Border Protection Officers arrested him yesterday as he tried crossing into the U.S. through the Nogales Port of Entry.
Immigration has also placed a hold on Talamantes because he is a citizen of Nogales, Sonora.
Details about the alleged murder aren't known at this time.
A judge denied Talamantes bond. He is due back in court next week.

The couple got engaged on New Years in 2012, and Lebron went on to win 2 NBA titles, a gold medal, and 2 MVPs since then. I'd say he's had a good year and a half.
Thankfully training camps start at the end of this month, so we can finally write about things that happen on a court. Stay tuned to Fansided.com, as we start to ramp up our NBA coverage.
