In spite of what the world thinks, 5 De Mayo is not México´s greatest celebration. In fact, it is not a big holiday at all. Our biggest "Fiesta" is the Mexican Independence Day celebrated on September the 16th.
El Grito every 16th of September is the Mexican Fiesta par excellence! On this day Mexicans all over the world celebrate Mexico's independence from Spanish rule.
In the early hours of September 16, 1810, father Hidalgo, accompanied by several conspirators (Ignacio Allende, Doña Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez etc.) rang the bell of his little church, calling everyone to fight for liberty. This was the beginning of the Independence War, which lasted 10 years.
This moment is the one it is reenacted in every main plaza in México´s cities and towns. On September 15th at 11:00pm, our President goes out at Palacio Nacional´s balcony (National Palace) rings the Independence bell and shouts out loud our traditional "VIVA MÉXICO".
After our cry for Freedom, the party starts. Trumpets, noisemakers and whistles are everywhere, people dress in traditional Mexican costumes. Sombreros and Mariachi bands fill the streets with a festive mood.
Food is always a very important part of these festivities. Literally hundreds of stands are set up several days before and offer the traditional "Antojitos", most aptly described as a variety of finger foods, Mexican candies; such as "buñuelos, algodones de azucar" etc.
During September, Mes de la Patria, the month of our nation as it is called in Mexico, restaurants serve traditional Mexican dishes, such as Mole Poblano, Chiles en Nogada, Guacamole and chips.
As you should know, Mexicans know how to party!! Everywhere you go you can see the Mexican Flag waving, every street or house turns green, white and red! Tequila flows and music can be heard all night long.
If you are willing to know Mexico´s traditions, this is the time of the year that most of the Playa del Carmen Hotels make big celebrations, a great reason why you should visit us. What better place to party than Riviera Maya!

On the box for this product they say this is the solution for ear phones that fall out of your ears. Within 1 minute of running with these in thtey had fallen out of my ears. They continued to do so every 10-20 steps until I eventually took them out and gave up. Simply not worth the price in my opinion.
Great wee product

The Skullcandy Fix Earphones with Mic excel and perform well in the gym through excessive movement and dynamics by staying in my ears at all times. I have had a few different brands claiming to do the same, but these have been the best so far. Download the Soundcloud app and listen to 'Shredz Workout Mixes'. These are good for getting you pumped and motivated.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY -- It's that time of year again... Cotton candy and elephant ears, Ferris wheels and giant swings and let's not forget steers, climbing goats, concerts and hypnotists.
All of this, and more, will be making its way to St. Lucie County as the fair takes over Feb. 28- March 9.
"This year is going to be so much fun," said Jeanne Keaton, general manager of the St. Lucie County Fair. "One thing that's new and is quickly become one of my favorites is Goat Mountain.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -- Chicago Bears defensive tackle Henry Melton and receiver Earl Bennett expect to be ready for the season opener this week after being sidelined by concussions.
Out since the first preseason game, Melton said Monday he expects to suit up against the Cincinnati Bengals. So did Bennett, who was injured early in training camp.
Coach Marc Trestman said it's "plausible" Bennett could miss the opener. He said that will depend on "how the rest of the week goes."
He also said linebacker D.J. Williams remains day to day with a calf injury and that the Bears will see how he practices Wednesday and Thursday before deciding if he'll play this week.

After My Mother Died, Another Woman Took Me Under Her Jewish Wing
When I converted to Judaism, I found the 'Jewish mother' I never had—a woman who resembled my own mom in surprising ways
The event I consider to be proof of HaShem's role in my winding up under Mim's wing came about in the summer of 2007, when she and I were both in Israel with our shul. Friday evening found us all at a kibbutz in the north, getting ready to spend Shabbat with our community's Israeli friends. It was a magical summer evening, with the clear, dry air of Israel around us, the sky turning breathtaking colors of pink and blue as the sun set. All of us were decked out in white, and it would be hard to imagine a more perfect Shabbos. Services ended and we made kiddush, and then Mim, whom I had been sitting next to, spontaneously turned and placed her hands on my head and with a beautiful smile gave me the Blessing of the Children, as younger parents around the room were also doing to their little kids. Lip trembling and eyes filling with tears, I accepted the blessing, the first blessing of any kind I had ever received in all my 40-plus years on earth and my two years as a Jew.
My mom loved me, but it never would have occurred to her in a million years to do something like bless me. Maybe I had to be a Jew before receiving that gift.
Mothers, in the best possible circumstances, are supposed to instruct their daughters on how to be in the world. They model ways of being and teach the things they can't model themselves. Pat Gibby imparted to me some values she didn't know were Jewish and that I didn't recognize as Jewish until I met Mim: a deep and clear graciousness with other people, hospitality, appreciation for the beauty of creation. Most of all, perhaps, regarding the old adage that every Jewish girl is a princess to HaShem, my mother modeled a variety of feminine dignity (dignity born of intelligence) that I found also in Mim later on, when I was more prepared to hearken to the lesson and begin to cultivate it in myself.
If I could have simply observed my mother, from the outside, like a friend, I might have been encouraged to take more cues from her, and she might have been more readily forthcoming with the wisdom she had to teach. But I missed that opportunity, for the most part. She and I grew close in a new way just months before she died. Almost as soon as I was ready to be a dutiful (Jewish) daughter, my mother left me to continue her own journey. And eventually I met Mim, a conduit of the most appropriate kind of maternal care. She listens and advises but keeps the right kind of boundaries between us: the healthy boundaries of adult friends.
Last year, in trying to locate Italian Jewish songs, I discovered a hauntingly pretty melody for this time of year that combines a tune of lament with an unusual nusach for Eicha, the grief-stricken book we recite on Tisha B'Av. I played it over and over and tried to commit it to memory. This is exactly the kind of thing that, in times past, I would have called my mother up and sung to her over the phone, to share the prettiness with. She wouldn't have known much about Jewish music, of course, but I would give anything to be able to share it with her now. Luckily for me, I do have a mom of sorts who I am confident will like it.

Oakland wanted to retaliate for losing Palmer on illegal hit. Terry McCormick
Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said his defense was trying to knock Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton out of Sunday's game after the Panthers did the same to Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer.
"You take our guy out, we're going to take your guy out,'' Kelly told the Contra Costa Times. "We're not out to hurt someone, but when that happens ... ."
Greg Hardy took Palmer out of the game on a hit where he was penalized for roughing the passer.
There was one play where Kelly retaliated at Newton, who had kicked him in the pile. Kelly was penalized for unnecessary roughness.
"He kicked me, and I ain't fixing to take that off nobody," Kelly said. "What are you going to do when someone kicks you? You going to take it? Nah.''
Raiders coach Dennis Allen didn't sound impressed with that explanation, saying, ""We're trying to change the culture, and what we have to understand is we have to keep our composure in those types of situations because nothing good comes out of it."

I've just eaten these carrots and they were a really nice and tasty way to ring the changes with carrots. I didn't have small carrots so used large ones cut into long, thick strips and it worked great. Next time I will cook more because they do shrink down in the roasting process and maybe add a little less white wine vinegar?? But lovely and sweet.

Northwest Hair Restoration is the only practice in the Pacific Northwest to offer impressive ACell hair restoration treatment.
Robert Niedbalski, D.O., hair transplant surgeon and medical director at Northwest Hair Restoration in Tacoma, WA, is now offering an advanced treatment for genetic hair loss. The breakthrough hair restoration technique dramatically multiplies the number of hair follicles in an area that has previously stopped growing hair. Using FDA approved ACell wound healing powder MatriStem® MicroMatrix™ and an arterial blood serum combination, Dr. Niedbalski is able to activate stem cells present in scalp tissue and significantly increase the rate of hair re-growth.
This hair cloning technique was discovered by Dr. Gary Hitzig, a leading hair transplant researcher and surgeon. Dr. Hitzig discovered that MatriStem powder, when dissolved in an arterial blood serum rich in the patient's own adult stem cells could be injected into the donor area and top of scalp where hair is being transplanted. The powder and blood serum combination acted like a hair growth accelerator and fertilizer by activating stem cells present in scalp tissues and motivated healing by duplicating normal tissue and hair follicles instead of forming a scar.
In collaboration with Dr. Hitzig, Dr. Niedbalski is the only hair restoration surgeon in the Pacific Northwest to offer this significant new treatment for hair loss.
"I've been following Dr. Hitzig's research and work with ACell and have seen the impressive hair growth results that have resulted from using this blood serum combination," said Dr. Niedbalski. "I am honored and excited to offer this new treatment to patients of Northwest Hair Restoration. Patients will not only experience significant hair re-growth in just six months, but the wound where donor hair is taken and transplanted will heal with little or no signs of a scar within a few weeks. This is a notable difference from previous methods that required months for healing and produced more scarring."
For more information about using ACell to treat hair loss, contact Dr. Niedbalski at (253) 572-2949 or visit www.northwesthairrestoration.com.
About Northwest Hair Restoration
Founded by Robert Niedbalski, D.O., Northwest Hair Restoration provides individualized solutions to treat hair loss in men and women.

Bid to halt BNP festival
Chris Mallett | Monday, 2 July 2007 Source: Derbyshire Evening Telegraph
A Campaign has been launched in a Derbyshire village to stop a British National Party festival which is expected to attract thousands of the group's supporters.
RWB, or Red, White and Blue, is scheduled to take place on the weekend of August 4 and 5 in Denby.
But people living near the Codnor Denby Lane site fear the event could cause havoc.
John Lumsden, who lives opposite one of the fields to be used by festival-goers, is involved in a petition to get it cancelled.
He said: "Everyone I have spoken to in the area, not just Denby, but Codnor as well, is against it.
"I've been told they are expecting up to 10,000 people to turn up, but the village simply can't cope with that number of people.
"For a start, where will everybody park? We have enough trouble with people parking on the road as it is.
"There is also talk of them having a campsite. That will be like having gypsy encampment nearby - there will be rubbish everywhere."
A 39-year-old mother, who lives in the same road, said she feared RWB could bring violence to the area.
The woman, who did not want to be named, said: "I will be signing the petition.
"I want it cancelled, not just because it's the BNP, but because of the people who dislike the group enough to turn up and cause trouble."
RWB is an annual event, which had, for the past four years, been held in Lancashire.
This year, it is scheduled to be held on 20 acres of land belonging Heanor and Loscoe parish councillor Alan Warner.
Mr Warner defected to the BNP from the Conservative Party after being an Amber Valley borough councillor from 2002 to 2004. He was the first BNP candidate to take a seat in Derbyshire when he was appointed to Denby Parish Council after an uncontested election earlier this year.
He said the festival would be entirely self-contained, with 60 BNP security guards to prevent people from getting too drunk or taking drugs.
Mr Warner said: "Previous events have been attended by 3,000 people but it might not be that many this time. There will be 30 toilets on the site and if people cause trouble I have told the organisers that I will call the police and they won't be able to hold the festival here again.
"I'm surprised at the reaction of people in the area. They are acting like thousands of Nazis are about descend on them. The BNP are not Nazis."
The BNP's national press officer, Dr Phil Edwards, said that the festival was held as "a celebration of the culture of white Europeans".
He said: "Because the BNP are so disliked we have to be squeaky clean with events like this or the media will come down on us like a ton of bricks."
Derbyshire police said the officer responsible for policing the event was not available to comment.

We've heard milk isn't that good for you. Something to do with the fact that we're the only animals that drink it well after infancy. Plus there might be inflammation issues associated with it. But hey, we're not doctors, we're gadget loving weirdos. Which might explain why we like this Glass Milk Carton from Fred and Friends.
It's actually officially called the Half Pint. And if you couldn't tell, it's been crafted from glass in an "artfully" delicious manner that captures the "comforting familiarity of a mini milk carton, just like the ones Mrs. Fontaine used to pass out in the school cafeteria." We just like it because it takes the once disposable milk carton and makes it reusable. To bad there just isn't a top to keep it fresh when it's stored away in the fridge.
You can pick up this lactic acid serving apparatus for about $12.

When the need is great, Keene volunteers turn out
Garland is one of those volunteers.
"I see a great need out there," said the 66-year-old Garland. "I do this because to give back and you know, some point and time in my life, I may be right back on the other side. Who knows, you just try to help the people as much as you can."
What's truly unfortunate Garland, who now lives in Marlborough, said, is the shift in demographics of The Kitchen's clientele. No longer is it just homeless; seniors, young families and other working poor fill the lines. Volunteer Lucy Donegan, of Swanzey, describes one family in particular where the father has a good job and makes good money, but with 10 kids in the family, can't make ends meet. She said this winter there will be more like them.
Like anyone, Donegan has her own troubles. A few years ago sciatica surgery knocked her out. And it's flat out sad for her watching dire need play out in vivid flesh and blood day in and day out, with little change and little she can do to change it. She's still loath to miss a day volunteering there. On this particular Thursday, she came fresh from her overnight job as a baker at Shaw's in Peterborough to deliver some leftovers and stayed another several hours to help out.
The goal with the boxes is to provide each family with three meals a day for three days. Each gets about a dozen shelf-stable items, bread, a little meat, some dairy and whatever produce has been donated by businesses, farms and local gardeners. But sometimes, a few boxes get a little something special.
Garland, is one of those volunteers too.
As one group of volunteers lugs the boxes out to their cars to make the weekly delivery, another set of boxes appear. Along with the boxes are more volunteers, including 82-year-old Anne Baker, of Keene. She's been coming here for the past 10 years. "It's been a rewarding experience," she said, sorting a slew of day old breads and pastries from the local Hannaford, donates 400-500 pounds of food to The Kitchen per week. "Just knowing that there are a lot of people out there that need help and if we do it the right way, we can give it to them."
But on an average Wednesday or Thursday people come through and pick out their food. For the first-timers to the line, they go through a little sheepishly, embarrassed that somehow it's come to this. The volunteers try to keep the mood respectful, but light to put them at ease. Especially with the kids, from the littlest who aren't sure what's going on to the older ones who slink in worried someone they know might see their need. One of the volunteers, Zaharchuck said, makes it a point to joke around with those kids in particular, maybe slip them some candy.

WTF is wrong with the British people?
Two recent items in the Guardian have started me thinking about how the British people have lost the run of themselves over Labour at the moment.
The first, today, was the reaction to Peter Hain's Comment is Free piece about the BNP. Hain said, correctly, that it was vitally important they didn't win a European Parliament seat, and cast his mind back to the 1970s campaigns against the National Front:
'…the BNP leaders are more sophisticated than the old National Front. They wear suits rather than openly flirt with nazism. They sound smooth and plausible on radio or TV. They are exploiting alienation from Westminster politics, particularly among the white working class. Yet their politics are fundamentally similar: the scapegoating of black people, Muslims, Jews, foreigners, gays and lesbians for social and economic problems. Whenever they are ascendant locally, racial violence and racial hatred are barely beneath the surface.'
And what's the reaction from commentators – in The Guardian, remember? Well, it can be summarised as: 'Labour is making such a mess of things that we don't blame anyone for voting BNP; Labour will get what they deserve.'
Excuse me? I remember the days when, if you were fed up with Labour, you thought about voting Liberal Democrat, or Green, or staying at home. Not voting for a party whose policies include repatriation, and whose concept of Britishness isn't based on citizenship as measured by your passport, but by the colour of your skin. Since when was there any justification for voting for such a party? - or excusing others who do so?
The second item was a summary of three recent opinion polls on voting behaviour, all of which put the Tories on 45%. That's nearly half. Surely there can be no clearer demonstration of the political and economic illiteracy of the British people than the intention of large numbers to vote for a party that would cut public spending at the present time, just when unemployment is rocketing. Do people really think they will pay less tax under a Tory government? No – the Tories may well use a greater share of tax revenues to repay national debt more quickly, but it'll be at the expense of the services we all depend on.
So let's recap. If you want to live in a country governed by the Tories, along with a sizeable BNP presence in Europe and in local government, and you are middle class:
- you'll have to pay higher taxes
- and pay for medical care
- and for your children's education, including university
- and for a state of the art burglar alarm.
If you're working class:
- you'll be fucked.

For the Ladies.
I do believe Drake and The-Dream have cracked the pop radio Rubik's Cube of the "For the Ladies" (FTL) song. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you do: it's the horrible, condescending and often transparent tenet of yesterday and today's hip-hop and r&b albums that's supposed to make women feel singled out and taken care of, thereby selling more albums because This Isn't Just Street Shit. Think about Ne-yo's entire career, but notably the uncreative "Miss Independent" (and "She Got Her Own" remix) or the non-breakup parts of 50 Cent's "Do You Think About Me," recently, or that "felonious" Jay-Z and Usher collabo (and Pharrell a lot, too).
This style makes up 2/3 of Dream's output ("Sweat It Out," "Kelly's 12 Play," etc.) and Drake certainly dabbled on So Far Gone.
I really can't agree with the idea that Usher, or Ne-Yo, or The-Dream make For The Ladies songs, because in the rubric that understands Street Shit and Music Ladies Like as being separate things, rap codes as masculine and R&B feminine. R&B stars don't have to devote a sub-set of their material to women because it's assumed that no men are listening to them anyway. That's why when rappers do the For The Ladies song, they'll draft an R&B singer for support. Like Kelefa Sanneh said: "Rappers can frame their gruff demands and commands as the perfect antidote to all that schmaltzy stuff. And crooners can frame their gentle, sentimental pleas as the perfect antidote to all that nasty stuff."
But the For The Ladies jam is one of the many, many reasons I can so rarely take seriously the people who complain about misogyny in rap. All these whiners getting hung up on who's saying "bitch" or "ho" and whose sex rhymes are a bit too brusque, without ever really considering the role such talk plays within the context of the song, or within the history of African-American music (There's a good essay from round 1993 that discusses this, and if I can find it I'll put up some quotes.) But For The Ladies really is misogynistic, imbued with a sense that women need to be condescended to with these limp gestures at sensitivity, and that they're too stupid to see through the charade. They sound like songs sung by men who, other than perhaps sexually, have never had much to do with women, and have no interest in starting. This is the rap that dehumanizes women, not the other stuff. And when people start talking about this I'll believe they're actually interested in combating misogyny in popular culture. Right now they're just further fucking up radio edits by requiring more words be cut out.

One thing I (and any fat woman who writes about body positivity) get all the time is furious men whining about how I'm trying to "force" them to find fat women attractive. Settle down, boys! Don't even worry about it! We will NEVER, EVER HAVE SEX. I'm already engaged to the world's greatest dude who's hotter and funnier than you AND thinks of women as human beings. So.

CLAREMONT, Calif. --- The morning game brought great news for fans of California Baptist University, as the Lancers defeated Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, 13-7, to extend their season-high winning streak to seven games. However, the afternoon did not go so well as CBU dropped one to Pomona-Pitzer, losing 9-8.
The 13 goals in game one meant that it was not only CBU's seventh straight win, but also their seventh straight game with 12+ goals.
They could have used this goal output against Pomona-Pitzer, but a sputtering fourth quarter offense left CBU dealing with their 10th loss of the year. Last season, the Lancers did not reach 10 losses until April 14.
"The hard fact is that we made bad decisions and had poor execution on both ends of the pool throughout the game," said Head Coach Jacob Medina.
The two teams traded goals in the first quarter, as Briana Tryon and Molly Gritchen led the Lancers to a 2-2 tie after the first. A strong second quarter for the Sagehens left CBU looking at a 5-3 deficit at the half.
The Lancers caught fire in the third quarter, getting goals from Gritchen, Laura Kocsis and Hannah Evans, to tie the game heading into the fourth.
The lack of focus in the fourth quarter allowed Pomona-Pitzer to take the one-goal win.
"Consistent mental lapses proved very costly for us in the loss," said Medina.
The loss moves CBU to 8-10 on the year, and they look to rebound tomorrow as they face Whittier and Cal Lutheran on day two of the Claremont Convergence tournament.

The Washington Redskins have two quality quarterbacks on the roster with Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins and a third-stringer with Super Bowl experience in Rex Grossman, so when they need to cut a player fourth-string signal-caller Pat White is the odd man out. Today he learned that he would be receiving his walking papers as the team looks to add kicker John Potter to the mix.
Potter will only be a temporary option as the team awaits word on the groin injury of Kai Frobath, so there is still a good chance that White could be brought back to the team once they are done with Potter.
The news first came via ESPN 980 in Washington D.C.
White has never impressed with his arm, but he was a standout with his legs during preseason and he is a valuable weapon in practice for the team as they prepare their defense for the increased presence of the spread-option around the league.
All signs point to White returning to the team, which is a major accomplishment for a man that spent the past two years out of the league.

Why evolution could never solve aging?
Maybe aging is an essential mechanism to clear out the old and make way for the new like cells within a body?
Maybe every form of life is already close to the upper limit of life expectancy?
Maybe aging is in the nature of carbon based life and metabolism?
Maybe we genetically sacrifice our longevity to survive the stresses of competition.
Emerging Questions:
Is it that our metabolic processes are over-compensated for dominance in their sexual prime which prove detrimental for longevity?
Is it that genes leading to different lifespans are mixed indefinitely in nature that it was never possible to select for it?
Isn't an organism with a longer span of mating at an advantage?
My hypothesis:
In the absence of change in ones environment, or competitive stresses an organism would eventually adapt itself to survive longer.
If every organism is a product of evolution then there must of course be underlying mechanisms within itself to aid such an adaptive process.
Under the influence of adaptive pressure, it would encourage mutation or variations in order create successful variations and also increase the number of life-cycles and so reducing the lifespan.
Under the influence of competitive stress, the dominance would lead to reproductive success and not the span of mating during ones lifespan.
In the absence of change in ones environment leading to adaptive pressure, or competitive stresses from rivals to prove dominance. Species would evolve longer lifespans.
Just a Theory though! But it would predict that
Lifespans of living fossils which have undergone little change in time should be greater than their relatives which have recently evolved.
Life having evolved on geographically isolated places far from intense competitive pressures should have greater lifespans.
Living things higher up in the food-chain or with few natural enemies should have greater lifespans.
Life span in pair bonding species should be higher than tournament species.

Nov 22 2011: Aging was solved somewhere after Noha built an ark (he was said to be 600 years old). Now a days, aging was solved and people live about 98 years or so, in many cases. Roomer has it that there is an invisible man who lives in the clouds and he has created things like magic talking herbivore snakes and deth-defying people. I guess darwin has pretty much proven all those things have finally been properly dealt with?

already made this 2 times and we love it! only thing I didnt do was the brussels sprouts, only the chicken and apples......I did put more maple syrup... going to make it again next week!!
Maple-Glazed Chicken with Apple-Brussels Sprout Slaw
purpleroses898 Posted: 11/13/10
LadyIchor Posted: 01/24/11
I have made this recipe several times since it appeared a few months ago. I think it is fantastic! There are a few things to keep in mind when you are making it: Use natural Grade B maple syrup; this is the correct type for any cooking or baking and will have the best maple flavor carry through. "Pancake syrup" or imitation maple syrup will not work well. Do not follow the photo of this dish! I made this mistake and the slaw turned out very sharp and sour using whole brussels sprouts leaves. Please read the recipe (like I finally did!) and shred the brussels sprouts like you would for the larger cabbage slaw :) This made all the difference in the world, as far as flavor/texture. Also, make sure you are returning the chicken breasts to the pan to soak up the delicious sauce/glaze. Just salt & pepper with a bit of sauce drizzled over isn't going to give you a "wow" factor. With all of these things taken into account (and the dish properly prepared) we considered serving this for Christmas dinner! Please give it another try ;)
diony1 Posted: 10/29/10
We really liked this one. A couple of changes though - free-range boneless/skinless chicken thighs seasoned with Emeril's Essence, raisins instead of currants. Also used the smallest/youngest brussel sprouts we could find. Very good, came together really fast and will be making again.
promogal Posted: 10/26/10
Bland tasting chicken, nobody like it at all. The vinegar made the brussel sprouts taste very odd, didn't like these either.
EmilyKH Posted: 10/27/10
I recommended this to family. I thought it was surprisingly very good and really easy. A great weeknight recipe, especially since you can make the slaw ahead (although it doesn't say it in the recipe). Then all you have to do is come home and cook the chicken!
Baker83 Posted: 01/02/11
Unfortunately chicken was bland. Surprisingly the slaw was great! Didn't realize until I was making it that the sprouts were raw-but they were tastyin this w craisins. Added toasted ramen noodles to my BFs so he'd eat it :) Would modify chicken if I were to make again. Prob wont though...
SwimmerChic Posted: 06/13/11
My husband and I surprisingly loved this. I did take a few hints from other reviews. Here is what I think you need to do/ modify to make it delicious: 1. Use real maple syrup 2. Slice apples as recommended but then cut them in thirds to make it easier to eat and mix. 3. I used dried cranberries instead of currants. 4. I used about half the amount of Brussels sprouts since we were new to them. Be sure to slice them as stated in the directions, not the picture. I recommend slowly adding the Brussels sprouts until you are happy with the mix.
nlrutecki Posted: 12/08/11
I absolutely agree! The quality of maple syrup makes all the difference to the flavor of the chicken. I used Trader Joes Grade B syrup. And the slawwww, the wonderful flavorful slaw. I made sure to finely chop the brussels sprouts. I also used chopped dried cherries instead of cranberries and made the apples into match sticks and then mixed in some white quinoa to add some a protein powered grain. Such a delightful light dinner.
jjjamstou2 Posted: 11/23/12
Just made this salad for Thanksgiving to have something for a brussel sprout lover, which I am not. Sounded good to have one dish that wasn't cooked, and was pretty healthy. Some of us who never eat brussel sprouts thought it was very good! I substituted orange flavored dried cranberries for the currants, and tossed on some pomegranate seeds before serving. Will now be bringing this to my mom's Christmas dinner because it looked so festive with the red and green, and is a welcome change to all the rich dishes at the holidays. The best part was not having to time the dish to be done with everything else. Made it a few hours ahead to let the dressing soak in.
eheinrich Posted: 10/04/12
nice taste, quick and easy weeknight meal but the slaw could definitely benefit from marinating. i used dates instead of currants and sliced the apples into matchstick size. will make again!
LeWilko Posted: 10/30/13
This is a good recipe however it is really more like a salad then a hot chicken dish. I used dried cranberries instead of currants which was a nice addition. This recipe was not what I expected however it was a nice alternative to a regular salad and I would make it again. Next time I might try apple cider vinegar instead of red wine vinegar!
SuzMChai Posted: 12/21/13
We loved this, what a great surprise for a 'what can we make quick tonight meal'! First of all I used Fig vinegar instead of red wine. Also, my children do not like raw brussel sprouts, so I tossed the brussel sprouts, with a sliced onion and 2 cloves of garlic in the oil/vinegar and a pinch of salt and then roasted. Half way through the cooking I added the sliced apple. When it was done I tossed in raisins (we didn't have currents). Oh, I doubled the recipe, but used still only used 1tbs each of oil and vinegar. I also garnished the chicken with toasted pecans. We will make this again!

The 8 Most Nutrient Dense Foods on Earth
Jill Ettinger, Guest Writer
Waking Times
We all know which foods we do best to avoid (right?). Despite the alluring appeal of Oreos, Mountain Dew or McAnything, processed foods provide little nutrition and a whole lot of risks. But when it comes to the good stuff—what are the best foods to put into our bodies? While experts all agree we need a variety of foods for a healthy diet, do you know which are the healthiest of the bunch? The answers may surprise and delight you.
1. Spirulina: While the thought of eating lake algae might gross you out, spirulina is actually pretty tasty, especially blended into a smoothie or hidden in a chocolate bar. It has more antioxidants than any other food on earth and is loaded with protein and minerals making it the most nutrient dense food.
2. Kale: According to Dr. Joel Fuhrman, kale is the most nutritious food, loaded with minerals, vitamins, fiber and amino acids, as well as important antioxidants that reduce inflammation and can prevent cancer. It's also delicious and an easy to prepare, versatile food.
3. Hemp Seeds: What do you get when you combine protein, fiber, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals? Hemp, of course. This easily digestible seed is versatile, easy to use and extremely tasty, too.
4. Chocolate: Yes, you read right. Cacao beans are so nutrient-dense that scientists haven't even begun to identify all the benefits in the little bean yet. Don't grab a Snickers though—the good stuff is found only in raw cacao beans or nibs (or really, really dark chocolate). Minerals, vitamins and tons of antioxidants are great for your heart, skin, and release chemicals in the brain that make you feel like you're in love.
5. Broccoli: Mom was right, you should eat your broccoli if you want a healthy digestive system and to decrease your risk of cancer. Broccoli has a wide range of yumminess too, from soups and stews to stir fry.
6. Spinach: Popeye was onto something with that spinach fixation. But skip the canned stuff and stick with fresh or frozen for an antioxidant, protein and fiber-rich burst of healthy goodness. Fresh or cooked, spinach's sweet and hardy flavor brightens any meal.
7. Chia: The Aztec warriors may have died out, but their legacy is alive and strong in the chia seed. This yummy, unassuming ancient favorite is loaded with omega fats, protein and fiber. Dr. Weil says it's a better choice than flax because "chia is so rich in antioxidants that the seeds don't deteriorate and can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid."
8. Berries: Unlike other fruit, berries tend to be less sugary and full of vital vitamins, minerals and those free-radical avenging antioxidants. Wild berries are always a great choice, especially black raspberries.

What about Chlorella?!
A lot of the favorite foods we used to indulge in do not even taste the same anymore. Good article.
You missed acai.
açai is a berry
* the minute you heat broccoli in soup or stir fry you are killing the nutritive values, the longer you cook it…eat it raw, with the 'life-force' still intact….this holds true for all vegetables & fruit.
Broccli as a Gmo raw and cooked taste like FISH! I hate the produce section. Then spend only necessary needs time. My moneys spent dropped for fresh produce at least 150.00 a month. Huge losses on the horizon for coporate farmers. I HATE the TASTE OF FISH ON FRUITS AND VEGGIES. I wait until bananas are near speckels and serious ripe before I purchase. The fish taste on bananas leaves at super ripe. But melons are disgusting, also tomatoes, cukes, bell peppers. I hate apples they are seriously messed up, frightenly so. They ruined the peaches this year. Potatoes haven't reached the mark of eddible yet. Wood fill in flour is disgusting, rye bread is frightening. All in All I hate shopping now.
Well, there's always SAWDUST, Priss Pot.
Norma… you got alotta hate there…You need to be sure you're not ingesting all your anger!
I eat only fruits & veggies and haven't ever experienced the fish flavor you're talking about… Are you buying organic produce? Where?? I'd definitely find a new source. Buying local in-season fruits/veggies helps. If you're buying something Not in season you're paying waaay too much for the luxury of having foods that have been "pushed" in greenhouses to get to market..and transported from far away, losing lots of nutritional value on the way. Peaches & Tomatoes are perfect examples.
I grind my own flours. (Only takes ONE minute – and a VitaMix) Your grains stay fresh (keep'em in the freezer til you grind) and your flour is fresher than you've ever tasted, making your baked goods so much better!
the number one nutrient dense food is beef liver you can totally live off of it none of the other foods listed have complete protein with out which you die. second best is eggs name one vegetarian who has lived to be 100 yrs of age you cannot they only live on average 7 years longer than the sad diet.
You can live off liver but you'll be deficient in Vit C, D, E, K, Calcium, chromium, selenium, iodine and the list goes on. Is your family in the liver biz? Where are you getting your "facts"??
I haven't eaten beef (or any other meat for that matter) in over a decade so, why am I still here genius? I'm also healthier now than I've ever been.
What none of you people have been able to explain logically, is why humans have the long intestinal tract that's typical for herbivores. Carnivores, conversely, have short intestinal tracts which means it takes them significantly less time to pass their food. The longer intestines means that your meat (especially eaten in mass quantities) ends up putrefying in your bowels. Not only is this sound reasoning, it's also pure scientific FACT.
I've nothing against people who eat meat (though I think it's ultimately an unhealthy lifestyle choice), but if you're going to criticize vegetarianism or veganism then get your bloody facts straight first, mate.
This is typical Vegan extremist propoganda
You cant live off any of the listed items, spirulina & kale contain too many toxicities to be taken in any large quantities
Dried Meat & beef, not nuts or fruits, have been the staple food for tribes & nomads for centuries, specifically because it has REAL protein & fats
Plants dont have the ability to create fully formed bio-available protein & fats
"Plants dont have the ability to create fully formed bio-available protein & fats"
That's bunk, they most certainly do. In fact they have greater "Bio-availability" and provide far greater nutrition and ultimately, health for metabolic processes than does "Meat". "Real" protein? What are you talking about? I believe your referring to a MYTH promoted from RDA and FDA to support the Livestock industry.
The Genetically Modified Organism's (GMO), Antibacterial agent's, Steroid, Mood and appetite 'enhancer's' fed to these animals translate to first hand inoculation to these animals. The Second Hand inoculation of the same transfer's to the organism that ingest's it (YOU).
Ever wonder why there's rampant obesity these days? Chicken's used to take two years to become big enough to slaughter. Today it's maybe six to eight weeks?! Our kids show it most readily.. Ever say to yourself "that girl look's like she's in her 20′s". When in reality she's 14/15? How about boys towering over their Dad's and their's no "height" in their lineage???
"Real" Protein IS IN Vegetable's my friend.
Great point Jack. What many of these people fail to realize is that billions of people in the world are vegetarians and live to 90 plus years of age. Nations like India and China are examples. Meat is NOT NEEDED to sustain a healthy human being.
Not everyone can be a vegan, even if they want to. It's not a matter of will-power. It depends on your biochemical make-up. The brain requires long-chain omega-3 fatty acids like DHA which only occur in animal products (and a few sea weeds). Some people, especially those with type O blood (half of the population), are unable to convert the short-chain omega-3 found in plants into DHA, as well as EPA, needed by the heart. Many well-meaning people try to be vegetarian or vegan, only to find that they become sick, weak and have trouble thinking. Other people, especially blood type A and AB (40% of the pop) thrive on a vegetarian diet. There is no vitamin D in a vegan diet – they could get it by spending a lot of time naked in the sun! Also no vitamin B12, needed to prevent nerve degeneration and anemia. There are no primitive people who lived on a totally vegetarian diet, according to the research of Dr Weston Price, a dentist who traveled the world in the 1930's, documenting the diet and health of people on their native diets. He found that people still eating their native diet, which always included some animal products, were very healthy and had perfect teeth, while the same people, after being contacted by Europeans, and eating the white man's white food: white bread, sugar, rice, became sick, stunted and had rapid tooth decay. (see Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.) It is certainly true that the wild game eaten by Paleolithic hunters and Native Americans, accompanied by a lot of exercise catching it, had nothing in common with today's high fat supermarket meat, laden with pesticides, synthetic hormones, and fed on genetically modified grain. Cows shouldn't be eating grain or corn anyway – they are meant to eat grass. Those who eat meat and dairy should choose organic, grass-fed products. It is also true that a mostly plant based diet is better for the earth than meat fed on corn grown by fossil fuel-based mechanized agribusiness using chemical fertilizer and pesticides and GM seed from MonSatan. I think we should try to eat a diet of mostly plant foods, with as much clean animal products as we individually need to be healthy. But people should not feel guilty or failures if they are unable to be totally vegetarian.
are you kidding? You should do some research! And read what's being written before you start spewing ridiculous claims!
The article doesn't say you can live off any one of those… It says they're nutrient rich. Meaning, for example, this one little berry contains 40 different nutrients that your body needs (you can get a lot from eating a little) vs. an almond which is incredibly good for you but contains only a dozen vits/mins.
There's no one food you can eat and not starve to death from malnutrition and related diseases.
It doesn't say "don't eat almonds or don't eat meat."
Spirulina & Chlorella are not toxic. They cleanse toxins from your body. Spirulina is naturally sterile because of its ability to grow in hot, alkaline environments, where other polluting organisms can't survive. Spirulina contains a staggering array of essential nutrients for our bodies. Not only does it contain over 60% complete protein (almost three times as much as that found in beef!), it has high concentrations of many other important vitamins and minerals, such as B complex vitamins, vitamin E, carotenoids, iron, manganese, zinc, essential fatty acids such as gamma linolenic acid (which is only otherwise found in mother's milk), and more beta carotene than you can find in carrots! Spirulina is also one of the few plant sources of vitamin B12, which is essential for healthy nerves and tissues.
Studies suggest that Spirulina can help stimulate the immune system, increasing production of antibodies, and promoting a healthy response to allergens. It may also help reverse age-related declines in memory and learning, help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and promote the formation and development of red blood cells. Spirulina has also been shown to promote the growth of probiotics, which can help maintain intestinal health..
Be sure to look for the ORGANIC version of all of these
I thought eggs were the most nutrient packed food.
Actually the top 3 aren't even listed. Beef, liver and eggs. All the one's listed are weaklings comparatively.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) - Damian Eargle scored 20 points, pulled down nine rebounds and tallied four blocks to go with a career-high four steals in Youngstown State's 71-44 rout of Division III opponent Hiram on Saturday.
Shawn Amiker and Kendrick Perry added 12 apiece for the Penguins, who won their 11th consecutive game against Hiram.
Youngstown State (5-4) opened the game on a 15-2 run and led 31-21 at the break. The Penguins extended their lead to 20, 46-26, in the second half after Eargle blocked a shot, then hit a jumper at the other end.
Eargle has recorded a block in 11 straight games dating back to last season and owns the Youngstown State career record for blocks with 243.
Youngstown State outshot Hiram 42.4% (25 of 59) to 26.2% (16 of 61) and dished out 19 assists, compared to eight for Hiram (1-4).
Aaron Stefanov led Hiram with eight points.

Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich ranked 15th in Mad Magazine's "Mad 20" list of dumbest people, events and things of 2009.
Jurors in the Rod Blagojevich corruption case got an inside look Wednesday at the emotions they never saw on TV when Rod Blagojevich was governor: a brooding insecure Rod, and an angry, foul-mouthed, and seemingly vindictive first lady.
Deputy governor Bob Greenlee described an absentee governor who only came to the office "two to eight hours a week," and was so averse to bad news, he once hid in the rest room to avoid his own budget director.
[Justice.gov: Audio / Exhibits]
In a call from Nov. 4, 2008, Blagojevich tells Greenlee he is furious with advisor Doug Scofield, for telling him he shouldn't appoint himself Senator. And he adds something of a low opinion of his constituency.
"I f---ing busted my ass and pissed people off and gave your grandma a free ride on the bus! I gave your f---ing baby a chance to have health care! And what do I get for that? Only 13 percent of you all out there think I'm doing a good job! So f--- all of you!"
But there was a Senate seat to fill. On December 4, 2008, Blagojevich told staffers he was warming to the idea of Jesse Jackson Jr. A new poll had indicated Jackson had much higher support in the black community than Lisa Madigan, who had been Blagojevich's first choice because he hoped to cut a deal with her father, the powerful House Speaker.
Incredulous aides reminded Blagojevich in a phone call secretly recorded by the government, that Jackson had politically double-crossed him before. But the governor told them that this time he was being offered something different.
There's tangible concrete stuff from supporters," he said, apparently referring to the million dollars plus Jackson supporters had offered in exchange for his appointment.
"You know, specific amounts and everything. And while, you know, I don't know if all of that is achieveable, there is, some of it, up front!"
Later in that conversation, Blagojevich says, "Jesse Jackson wants it badly! And he's the only one willing to offer other stuff!"
When his advisors continue to express doubts, Blagojevich suggests Jackson may offer the best all-around alternative.
"I can cut a better political deal with him. Trust and verify. Which means you need, and you need some down payment and all the rest, if you want to be cynical. And with them, you need a lot of down payment!"

If you own a dog, where did it come from? A breeder? Shelter? Or a pet store?
If you answered yes to the latter, then you're most likely supporting puppy mills, according to Jill Edelman, co-chair for the Puppy Mill Project.
What is the Village of Oswego going to do about it? That was the question at the Oswego Village Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday.
Want free local news in your inbox every morning? Sign up for our newsletter.
Presenters from the Puppy Mill Project are urging the village to pass an ordinance banning the resale of non-licensed and Unites States Department of Agriculture commercially bred puppies and kittens.
The Puppy Mill Project's goal is to raise awareness about puppy mills and ultimately work with pet stores that already sell commercially bred puppies and have them adopt a humane business model.
"We have been very successful in this area," said Edelman.
Edelman showed a Powerpoint presentation to village trustees of pictures of puppies in puppy mills crammed into small cages and described how they are forced to live outside no matter the weather.
"The USDA requires that they have water, it doesn't have to be clean water. They're required to have food, but it doesn't have to be nutritional. It could be sawdust mixed with animal fat," said Edelman.
All of this, she said, is legal.
Further, most people don't know that they are purchasing a puppy from a puppy mill when they go to a pet store, said Edelman.
"They think they are getting puppies from respectable breeders. A respectable breeder would never sell to a pet store," she said.
Village President Brian LeClercq called the information was "a little disturbing" and asked, on a federal level, what exactly was being done to curb puppy mills.
Right now, Edelman said they first have to change the classification of puppies from livestock.
"There's a lot of money being made on many levels. It's a multi-billion dollar business we're up against," she said.
The village recently approved a building permit for a pet store, Love Our Dogs, which would sell puppies.
Community Development Director Rod Zenner said that since they were issued their permit under the current ordinance that does not ban the retail sale of puppies or kittens they would be grandfathered in.
Local pet business owners also turned out to support the ordinance. Judy Haft from Central Bark in Oswego said many pet stories refuse to take a dog back after it's been purchased if there is a problem. However, 100 percent of the breeders she's known had accepted returned animals, she said.
"It's a consumer issue. We need to ensure that the pet store will take the dog back and not put it in animal control on taxpayer dollars," said Haft . "If that happens these stores will see the affect they have on the community."
Edelman said the change to the ordinance was not meant to affect local, reputable breeders, but rather stop the sale of puppy mill puppies.
"Oswego has the chance to do the right thing," she said.
When or if the village board will consider an ordinance banning the resale of non-licensed and Unites States Department of Agriculture commercially bred puppies and kittens is unclear.

Friend --
I'm sitting here watching my grandbabies open their Christmas presents.
People like you and me often don't have the time to sit and reflect on what is good while we fight the urgent battles to save our country.
But when I see their faces, I'm reminded that there is joy in this world.
After the thousands of miles I flew this year, the spare hotel rooms where I slept, the many campuses, churches, and neighborhoods where I spoke, it's good to sit and rest. But I wouldn't have it any other way. When I look at my work, I know it is good and I can't wait to do it again.
That's why I'll soon be sharing some exciting news with you for 2013!
Thank you for all you do to support my work and I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!
As always...

A Chat with Eddie Garcia of the Puck Podcast posted by Jeff Ponder
Sometimes the best way to learn about a sport is by talking with one of its biggest fans.
Eddie Garcia is a California-native who has followed the Los Angeles Kings for as long as he likes to remember. He started a podcast with his long-time friend Doug Stolhand after reading a story in a local LA newspaper about a few average Joe's that started their own successful baseball podcast. Eddie approached his friend about the story, and they sought advice from the baseball podcasters. 3 ½ years later, Eddie and Doug are the only hockey podcast featured on FoxSports.com, and the Puck Podcast has followers from all over the world, making it the number one rated hockey podcast on iTunes. Eddie had a few minutes to go over his thoughts over the success of his show with me, along with a few thoughts about growing up in LA as a hockey fan and rumblings from around the league.
He had to know that he could not get by without talking about his co-host though. Eddie explained that Doug Stolhand, who also works for Fox Sports in the marketing department, is truly as cynical as his listeners think he is.
"Doug is very cynical. I'm not as quite as dry and cynical as he is, but I think that its a good mix for the show."
Eddie also revealed his reason for becoming such a big hockey fan. No surprise coming from a California boy.
"It was Wayne Gretzky," Garcia boasted, "Even people in California who don't know anything about hockey knew who Wayne Gretzky was."

Estee Lauder Perfectionist [CP+] Targeted Deep Wrinkle Filler Reviews
AMAZEMENT in a Tube!Estee Lauder's "Perfectionist" is a line I've used and loved for several years now, one which my husband loves, and one which gives such dramatically noticeable results that I've received more compliments in the last five years than I did in younger years when my skin was more resilient and radiant. It all began with my using Lauder's incredible "Perfectionist [CP+R] Wrinkle Lifting/Firming Serum...read more." It is not a moisturizer, but it works hard to plump skin and blur any lines and creases. A few winters ago, the winter was so brutal that lines still were apparent on my face, despite the serum. My husband, who was also using the powerful product along with me, spends more time outdoors shoveling snow, warming the cars, etc. Exposure to the elements left him with pronounced "slash" marks on his face. We don't watch horror movies, but at first we joked that he looked like Freddy Krueger. And then I realized that it wasn't funny at all. We needed a prescription-strength skin product--immediately! To the rescue came Lauder's wonderful, super-concentrated "Perfectionist" formula in a small tube. It is pricey but lasts a long time. The thick, silky formula has copious amounts of Silicone to fill in furrows, especially around the mouth and eyes. Other powerful ingredients include Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen (which leaves NO smell, so don't fear this), Avocado Oil, Cocoa Seed Butter, Corn Kernel Extract, Soy and Whey Proteins, Glycerin, Panthenol, and Caffeine. Despite the lavish texture, it leaves a soft, matte finish (much like a great foundation), with subtle luminosity to enhance. One hundred percent of women interviewed by Lauder experienced an immediate improvement in appearance after application. It's hard when using this to recall that it is not a moisturizer. You still need to apply a moisturizer over this problem-solving product, but it will keep you forever young. — 1 year, 5 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Fallen FillerMy experience with this product was disappointing and I had high hopes for results. I used this product for an estimated time of 60 days and a change in my skin was not evident. I am aware that there are different results for different people and by people I mean skin type, severity of the area targeted for correction, etc. So with that being said, this product just didn't work for me but it could possibly work for someone else if you are willing to put in 'blind money'. — 3 years, 10 months agoTrendyMom | 4 reviews

AMAZING FINDI normally laugh at the different wrinkle fillers I try but I had to look twice in the mirrow when this was used on me. I already use the perfectionist CP+ but when I massage a litttle of Estee Lauder Perfectionist CP+ in my areas of concern (lips, forehead, laugh lines), I can actually see an "immediate" difference. It's amazing!! I get so many compliments about how smooth my face looks. It only takes avery small amount and I use it when I want to look my very best... — 4 years, 6 months agocandyapple43 | 2 reviews
