Recipe by Tracy
"When I made this, everyone asked me for the recipe! It's great served with butter and milk."

1/2 cup
vegetable oil
3/4 cup
white sugar
1 cup
1/2 teaspoon
1 tablespoon
baking powder
3 cups
quick cooking oats
1/2 cup
2 tablespoons
brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
This was really yummy, and has already been requested twice! However, I modified the recipe to my family's tastes. As suggested by previous reviewers, I used homemade applesauce in place of the oil called for. Also added molasses, and used between 4-8 Tbs. water instead of eggs.(Didn't measure the amount of liquid. Just eyeballed it. I needed the extra liquid b/c I also added one large chopped apple, and 1/2 c chopped almonds.) Substituted almond milk for the milk, and used Rumford's non-aluminum baking powder. I omitted the raisins and used a handful of dry cranberries instead. Omitted the brown sugar topping, and added more cinnamon, as well.
I thought this was good, but only after I added melted butter and milk to moisten each serving.
If you think you don't like oatmeal unless it's baked, try making oatmeal in the microwave with milk (whole - or add some cream to your skim) instead of water, and then stir in a dash of salt and some brown sugar. Top with fresh berries (whatever you have on hand), cinnamon, and a little cardamom. This is much healthier, much faster, and in my opinion tastier. I would still do the baked version for a crowd, because you can make many servings in one pan, but for every day try it in the microwave as described - healthier and better.

I love this recipe. I need to eat more oatmeal and this recipe makes it so yummy! I change it slightly, using applesauce instead of oil and I use 1/4 cup of white sugar, then 1/2 of brown. And I add a can of fruit (peaches are great!) and some chopped walnuts. It fills me up for hours! Great with just the spray butter or if you want to pour milk on it, why not?
This recipe is a definite winner - our whole family loves it! It's a great breakfast dish to make when you have overnight guests. I often double the recipe and bake it in an 11x14 glass baking dish (using 1 c white and 1 c brown sugar). You can easily mix this up the night before, cover with plastic, stick it in the fridge, and simply bake it in the morning whenever you wake up. NOTE: To avoid breaking my cold glass baking dish by placing it in a hot oven, I put the cold dish into the oven BEFORE I turn the oven on (that way the dish and the oven slowly heat at the same time). If I'm baking this oatmeal staight from the fridge, I'll increase the baking time a bit (about 45-50 minutes for a single recipe or 60-75 minutes for the 11x14 size double recipe), otherwise I use the time given in the recipe. Mmm-Mmm!, great on a chilly morning!
This was nice and cakey and had a great flavor. I did sub applesauce for the oil. Next time I will try pumpkin puree and add some spices. I hate regular oatmeal and love eating this so it gets 5 stars from me.
I did not like oatmeal for breakfast - until now. It's got the texture of rice but tastes more like dessert. I reduced the amount of sugar to half a cup and it is still plenty. I also make & bake it in the morning (haven't left it overnight in refrigerator) and it is still great. My 3 year old will eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I will make it at least once a week from now on. If you're not a oatmeal eater - try this!
I ordered baked oatmeal for the first time this morning at a restaurant. It was so good that I immediately looked in All Recipes for a similar dish when I got home. This one looks close except the restaurant put blueberries and diced peaches in with the oatmeal. They served it with cream and brown sugar on the side. It was wonderful. I will try making this recipe and add the fruit.
Family liked this. It is dry like a crumbly cake texture, but when you pour the milk on, it brings it all together. And with some butter on top, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm. I am also going to try this with apples and peaches.

Saybrook University Instructor Ruthann Russo: New Research Reveals that 86% of Patients Can be Treated with Integrative Medicine03/24/2015
Ruthann Russo, PhD, MPH, LAc, is an integrative health practitioner, consultant, and policy expert in integrative health and wellness. She teaches on an adjunct basis at Saybrook University's School of Mind-Body Medicine, where she is also earning her second PhD. This blog posting will cover Integrative Population Health Management and is Part 1 of a four-part series.
Integrative population health management is the use of integrative health modalities (IHM) to adjunctively manage chronic conditions for all patient populations. Under the Affordable Care Act, the phrase "population health management" has become the new buzzword for administering the health of the public. With this new phraseology comes a shift in responsibility – from governmental agencies to private sector healthcare systems and providers. Population health management requires that each healthcare organization step back from its current position and view its geography and the people who give life to that geography from a different perspective. It requires identifying patterns in the population – not just disease patterns – life patterns. Patterns that if managed more effectively will reduce the escalating costs and decreasing quality associated with common chronic conditions such as increased blood glucose, depression, high blood pressure, obesity, tobacco use, obesity, chronic pain, and stress.
Saybrook University Doctoral Student Applies Breath Training, Imagery, and Stretching to Life-Threatening Blood Clots03/18/2015
Introduction: Arielle Denise Dance, with an MA in Women's Health, is a PhD student in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University. Diagnosed with endometriosis at 15 years old, Arielle has spent the majority of her academic career being an advocate in the women's health community focusing on topics of chronic pain, disability, and minority groups.
The Story: She couldn't breathe. " Just breathe … Deep breaths should help." She could not manage even a shallow breath without sharp pains ripping through her body. That is how Arielle Dance, second year PhD student in the MBM program, felt when she was hit with a Pulmonary Embolism for the second time in her twenties. In August 2014, after a cross country trip back to New Jersey following the Fall Residential Conference, Arielle began feeling short of breath, and experiencing severe chest and back pain. Convinced that these were signs of an asthma attack, Arielle was not prepared for all that she would endure.
Saybrook Doctoral Student Jana Downum Presents Case Report on Biofeedback for Stroke Survivors at Austin Conference03/18/2015
Jana Downum is a doctoral student in the Saybrook University School of Mind-Body Medicine. Jana presented a case report at the Association for Applied Psychophysiology amd Biofeedback annual conference in Austin, Texas on March 11 to 14 (see http://www.aapb.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=1).
Jana's Case Report, which was presented in poster form, demonstrated her effective use of heart rate variability biofeedback with one of her patients, a stroke survivor. Within the field of biofeedback, Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback is a promising new intervention technique. Jana introduced the techniques to the patient during their first session. In subsequent sessions, the patient practiced and regularly applied mindful breathing, and used HRV strategies outside of sessions in all settings. The poster presents the data, progress, and how the patient successfully achieved higher levels of difficulty within the HRV program.
Jana has been a member of the Biofeedback Society of Texas (BST) for several years and has presented at prior Annual BST Conferences. She is a biofeedback therapist at Pate Rehabilitation, in the Dallas, Texas area.

How to heal veterans - through art and movement03/09/2015
by Allison Winters
As a dance/movement therapist for Veterans Affairs, I have a lengthy history of working with this unique population that has spanned the range of Veteran generations. I am also a current doctoral student in mind-body medicine with a focus on health care systems.
Recently I had the privilege of attending the Third National Summit: Advancing Research in the Arts for Health and Well-being across the Military Continuum, as both a participant and presenter. This is the 3rd summit of its kind and was originally created as a means to advance the efforts of the National Initiative for Arts and Health in the Military. This year the summit was held at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD and was sponsored by Americans for the Arts and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. The summit's focus, research in arts and health in the military, brought together an impressive and diverse group of creative arts therapists, health care providers, research scientists, artists, medical experts, Veterans, and military personnel. I had the pleasure of attending the summit for the second time and the honor, this year, of presenting my work as a dance/movement therapist with the military and Veteran population as part of a panel entitled Research Innovations on Integrative Care in Military Health Settings and Applications for the Arts.
Integrative Wellness Coaching: Meeting a Need and Closing a Gap03/05/2015
By Carrie Phelps, PhD
Medical practitioners and allied health professionals—specializing in integrative medicine and health sciences—are joining together to create innovative wellness programs that holistically address individual health and well-being (e.g., integrative healthcare, mind-body skills groups, mindfulness-based group coaching). The success of these programs has begun to set the standard for whole-person health professional practices. One such professional practice that is gaining momentum and capturing national attention is Integrative Wellness Coaching. Embedded in the science and philosophy of integrative medicine and the principles and methods of wellness coaching, integrative wellness coaching offers a comprehensive, holistic, and effective approach to lifestyle-related change and transformation.
The Patient Experience Under ACA03/04/2015
"When doctors and other health care providers can work together to coordinate patient care, patients receive higher quality care and we all see lower costs." - Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Amanda walks slowly behind me down the long hall from the waiting room to my office. "Watch you step," I tell her when we get to the small rise, "Take your time." Phrases I repeat many times a day. Most of my patients, baby boomers, have joint problems. This is the first time I am seeing Amanda. I work in behavioral health, every patient is like a present to me, a mysterious gift, what will I find when I unwrap their layers? The labels they wear, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, don't provide any clarity to who they are. Some are playful. Some are fashionistas. Some are guarded. Amanda sits in the chair opposite me. The chair is strategically placed, near me but not too near, to give the appropriate amount of psychological space. Not blocking the doorway in case I need to make an egress.
Amanda hugs a spiral notebook to her chest. "What brings you here to see me?" I ask. She looks at me, clearly distressed. "I don't know where to start," she says. Slowly we unpack her story. In her notebook are phone numbers to doctors, appointments, notes about her symptoms: chest pain, stomach pain, chronic join pain, problems with her vision, and urinary incontinence. Amanda is in care for her depression and alcoholism. She is overwhelmed and confused by her multiple medical problems. She has achieved one of the proposed solutions for her problems; she has a primary care provider she is connected with. For these problems she has been referred to cardiology, pulmonology, ophthalmology, and chronic pain. No one has really addressed her incontinence. She's had CT scans, stress tests, and eye exams. The end result? She doesn't know the results of her tests despite several visits, and she still doesn't understand what is going on with her or the cause of her symptoms.

Using integrative health techniques to fight the effects of cancer: sample cases02/26/2015
Lynne Shaner, PhD is a graduate from Saybrook University's School of Mind-Body Medicine. She has a private practice in the Washington, DC area.
"Lisa," a woman in her forties, had ongoing metastasizing flares, though her cancer was in remission on this day at Hope Connections, a community cancer center in the Washington, DC area. Her pain was significant, and was located in her chest, at the cancer site. In a group setting for the monthly workshop that I lead, we used a particular acupressure/talk technique known as EFT, in which she tapped on the various points as directed and verbalized her situation in very general terms. Usually, the pain goes down dramatically. But nothing had changed. We were both disappointed. But when I asked "Does the pain have a face?" she immediately named her daughter. She had a clear image of her daughter ----a picture in her mind's eye, as well as a list of the emotional results of the daughter's current behavior (fear, frustration, anger). We went through the technique again, this time including her daughter's name and each of the different emotions. This time, the pain decreased significantly, down from a level 6 to a 2. We continued to focus, and the pain was eliminated.
Watch a CBS News story on an innovative treatment program for cancer survivors created by a Saybrook Mind-Body Medicine student!02/24/2015
Experts project there will be 18 million cancer survivors in the U.S. by 2022. Cancer patients often report feeling lost and abandoned at the conclusion of active treatment. Even though treatment has ended, the impact of cancer on their lives has not.
Members of the Saybrook community have been pioneers in developing treatments for them – including faculty members and alumna like Dr. Jeanne Achterberg (who pioneered integrative techniques to combat the effects of cancer), Dr. Lyn Freeman (who received National Institute of Health grants to test integrative health techniques for cancer survivors, and make them available to patients), and now PhD student Francinne Lawrence, who has created a new model of holistic treatment for cancer survivors..
Survivorship is a recognized phase of treatment along the cancer control continuum and is a new directive for accreditation by the Commission on Cancer. At THRIVE – a program created and run by Lawrence for the Mary Bird Perkins, Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center, in Louisiana - individuals are considered cancer survivors from the moment of diagnosis.
The integrative program was recently featured on a local newscast. Watch it here.

Taking Toxics Out of the Air
Summaries of EPA's Final Air Toxics MACT Rules
Secondary Lead Smelter Industry
Final rule published June 23, 1995
- Secondary lead smelters produce lead from scrap and provide the primary means for recycling lead-acid automotive batteries. The basic operations performed at these facilities include battery breaking, smelting, refining and alloying.
- Secondary lead smelter facilities emit a number of toxic air pollutants, including 1,3-butadiene (a known human carcinogen) and lead compounds.
- EPA's rule requires facilities to reduce emissions from a number of sources, including smelting furnaces, kettles, dryers, and fugitive sources such as material handling.
- The rule affects all 23 secondary lead smelters in the United States. It will reduce emissions of air toxics from these facilities by 1,400 tons per year, a 72 percent reduction from the preregulated levels emitted by these facilities. In addition, the rule is expected to reduce emissions of particulate matter (which can cause serious respiratory problems) from these facilities by 150 tons per year, and carbon monoxide (which can cause adverse health effects, including fatigue, nausea, and respiratory problems) by 88,000 tons per year.
Petroleum Refining Industry
Final rule published August 18, 1995
- Petroleum refineries process crude oil to produce automotive gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricants, and other petroleum-based products.
- Toxic air pollutants, including benzene (a known human carcinogen) and toluene (known to affect the central nervous system and cause developmental problems), are released from storage tanks, equipment leaks, process vents, and wastewater collection and treatment systems at these facilities.
- EPA's rule requires facilities to control emissions from these sources. The rule allows emissions averaging within the petroleum refining facility, and provides additional flexibility by permitting the use of emissions averaging among emission points at petroleum refineries, marine terminal loading operations, and gasoline distribution facilities located at the same site.
- The rule affects all petroleum refineries in the United States
and will reduce emissions of 11 air toxics by 53,000 tons per
year, a 59 percent reduction from the pre-regulated levels emitted
by these facilities. In addition, the rule is expected to reduce
VOC emissions by over 277,000 tons per year, a 60 percent reduction
from preregulated levels emitted by these facilities.
Aerospace Manufacturing and
Rework Industry
Final rule published September 1, 1995
- Aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities produce and/or repair aerospace vehicles and vehicle parts, such as airplanes, helicopters, space vehicles, and missiles.
- Toxic air pollutants such as methylene chloride (a probable human carcinogen) and chromium (Chromium VI, the most toxic form, is known to cause lung cancer) are released from these facilities during paint stripping, cleaning, priming, top-coat application, and chemical milling maskant operations.
- EPA's rule requires facilities to eliminate most emissions of toxic air pollutants (particularly methylene chloride) from paint stripping operations and to implement controls that will reduce emissions of air toxics resulting from other operations. In addition, many reductions will be achieved through housekeeping actions. The final rule provides a variety of options for meeting these requirements.
- The rule provides industry the flexibility to meet the required reductions in the most cost-effective way, which should yield cost savings for industry sources. For example, the rule contains a market-based emissions averaging provision, which allows facilities to overcontrol some emission points while undercontrolling others.
- The rule affects an estimated 2,800 aerospace manufacturing facilities and will reduce emissions of air toxics and VOCs by 123,000 tons per year, a 60 percent reduction from the preregulated levels emitted by these facilities.
Marine Tank Vessel Loading
Final rule published September 19, 1995
- Marine tank vessels are used to transport crude oil, gasoline, and toxic chemicals among refineries, bulk terminals, chemical plants, and pipeline terminals.
- These vessels release toxic air pollutants (including benzene, toluene, hexane, xylene, and ethyl benzene) into the air during loading and unloading operations.
- EPA's rule sets limits for both air toxic pollutants and VOCs. It requires large marine loading terminals (i.e., terminals that load either 200 million barrels per year of crude oil, or 10 million barrels per year of gasoline) to reduce emissions of VOCs by at least 95 percent. It also requires all other major sources to reduce air toxic emissions by 97 percent.
- The rule affects an estimated 30 marine tank vessel loading facilities. It will reduce VOC emissions from these facilities by approximately 43,000 tons per year, of which 4,500 tons are air toxics.
Wood Furniture Manufacturing
Final rule published December 7, 1995
- The wood furniture manufacturing industry includes cabinet shops and facilities that make residential and industrial furniture.
- Toxic air pollutants, including toluene, xylene, methanol, and formaldehyde, are released from these facilities during finishing, gluing, and cleaning operations. These air toxics can cause eye, nose, throat, and skin irritation; damage to the heart, liver, and kidneys; and reproductive effects.
- EPA's rule limits the amount of hazardous air pollutants that can be contained in the coatings used for finishing, gluing, and cleaning operations (substitutes are available that contain lower quantities of hazardous air pollutants). In addition, the rule contains work practice standards such as keeping containers closed, training workers, and periodically inspecting equipment to locate and repair leaks.
- The rule affects an estimated 750 wood furniture manufacturing facilities and will reduce air toxics emissions by 33,000 tons per year (a 60 percent reduction from preregulated levels) and VOC emissions by an additional 8,400 tons per year.
Shipbuilding and Ship Repair
Final rule published December 15, 1995
- The shipbuilding and repair industry includes shipyards that construct and/or repair commercial or military vessels, such as barges and tankers.
- Toxic air pollutants such as xylene and toluene are released during painting and associated cleaning operations.
- EPA's rule, which is based on pollution prevention measures, requires that containers of paint and cleansers be kept closed, and that facilities use low-VOC coatings for painting and coating operations and handle solvent and paint wastes in a manner that minimizes spills and evaporation. The rule does not apply to major source facilities that use less than 1,000 liters (approximately 264 gallons) of marine coatings per year, or to boatyards that only build or repair recreational vessels (marine or freshwater) less than 20 meters (about 66 feet) long.
- The rule affects an estimated 35 shipbuilding and repair facilities and will reduce emissions of air toxics from these facilities by 350 tons per year, a 24 percent reduction from the preregulated levels emitted by these facilities.
Printing and Publishing
Final rule published May 30, 1996
- EPA's rule covers two distinct segments of the printing and
publishing industry:
- Publication rotogravure printers, which produce paper products such as catalogues, magazines, newspaper inserts, and telephone directories.
- Package-product rotogravure and wide-web flexographic facilities that print on paper, plastic film, metal foil, and vinyl for use in products such as flexible packaging, labels, and gift wrap.
- Toxic air pollutants (including toluene, xylene, methanol, and hexane) are released from the ink systems used by both types of printers.
- For publication rotogravure facilities, EPA's rule limits air toxics emissions to 8 percent of the total amount used (for example, facilities that use only hazardous-air-pollutant-based solvents would be required to recover 92 percent of the air toxics). For package-product rotogravure and wide-web flexographic facilities, the rule requires 95 percent overall control of all organic hazardous air pollutant emissions from their presses.
- EPA's rule incorporates flexible compliance options into its emissions control requirements. Facilities may use pollution prevention methods (which allow printers to eliminate the use of toxic chemicals or to substitute nontoxic chemicals for toxic ones), traditional emissions capture and control equipment, or a combination of the two.
- The rule affects an estimated 27 publication rotogravure facilities and 100 package-product rotogravure and wide-web flexographic facilities. It will reduce air toxics emissions from publication rotogravure printers by about 5,500 tons per year, and those from package-product rotogravure and wide-web flexographic printers by about 2,100 tons per year.
Off-Site Waste Operations
Final rule published July 1, 1996
- Off-site waste facilities include hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities; industrial wastewater treatment facilities; solvent recycling facilities; and used-oil recovery facilities that manage hazardous air pollutant-containing materials generated at other facilities.
- A number of toxic air pollutants (including chloroform, toluene, formaldehyde, and xylene) are released from tanks, process vents, equipment leaks, containers, surface impoundments, and transfer systems at these facilities.
- EPA's rule combines equipment, operations, and work practice standards. For example, the rule requires that containers be covered and that process vents meet 95 percent organic emission controls.
- The rule affects an estimated 250 off-site waste operation facilities. It will reduce air toxics emissions by 43,000 tons per year and VOC emissions by 52,000 tons per year.
Elastomer Production
Final rule published September 5, 1996
- Elastomers are used in the production of many synthetic rubber products, including tires, hoses, footwear, adhesives, wire insulation, floor tiles, and latexes.
- A number of toxic air pollutants (such as styrene, hexane, and toluene) are released during the initial stages of the elastomer manufacturing process.
- EPA's rule encourages the use of pollution prevention techniques to reduce the amount of air toxics released during elastomer production. The rule sets emissions limits for several specific emission points-storage tanks, process vents, equipment leaks, and wastewater systems. It also contains a market-based emissions averaging provision that allows facilities to overcontrol some emissions points while undercontrolling others, thus achieving the required reductions in the most cost-effective manner possible.
- The rule affects 36 facilities nationwide and will reduce air toxics emissions by approximately 6,400 tons annually, a 50 percent reduction from current levels.
Polyethylene Terephthalate
Polymer and Styrene-Based Thermoplastic Polymers Production
Final rule published September 12, 1996
- Polyethylene terephthalate polymers and styrene-based thermoplastics are used in the manufacture of such products as polyester fibers, soft drink bottles, plastic automotive parts, packing materials, and plastic toys.
- A number of toxic pollutants (including styrene, butadiene, and methanol) are released into the air during polymer production.
- To reduce the amount of air toxics released from polymer production facilities, EPA's rule sets emissions limits for several emissions points: storage vessels, process vents, equipment leaks, and wastewater operations. The rule also limits releases from process contact cooling towers at some existing and new facilities.
- EPA developed the rule in partnership with industry representatives and other major stake-holders. The Agency estimates that new facilities will experience annual cost savings of about $5 million under the rule, due to pollution prevention measures.
- The rule affects 66 facilities nationwide and will reduce emissions by approximately 3,880 tons annually, a 20 percent reduction from current levels.

What's in your Easter basket? Whether you're celebrating Easter, Passover or the arrival of daffodils, it's time to show our pets some extra love by keeping them safe from seasonal hazards. Here are a few ASPCA tips for a pet-safe spring!
• Beware of Easter lilies—they can be fatal if consumed by our furry friends. We recommend leaving lilies out of Easter baskets destined for homes with cats, or using safer flower varieties as substitutes. Some pretty alternatives include Easter orchids, cacti and daisies, as well as roses and violets.
• Keep candy bunnies in check—chocolate goodies are toxic to cats, dogs and ferrets. And any treats containing xylitol, an artificial sweetener used in many candies, chewing gum and baked goods—may be toxic, too!
• Decorations, especially Easter tinsel, may look festive but can be dangerous. Kitties love to nibble on plastic grass, which can lead to serious health issues.
• Baby chicks and rabbits are not Easter gifts. While these festive babies are adorable, resist the urge to buy; they grow up fast and often require specialized care. Thousands of ex-Easter bunnies and chicks are abandoned each year when their novelty wears off.
For more springtime pet safety tips, please visit our Pet Care section, and have a happy holiday weekend!

help for level 1 welding apprentice please!!!
The provincial apprenticeship committee could refer to the branch of the dept of education , labor and training. The specific names have changed over the years , but it is part of the education and training dept that decides what will be in the curriculum, and oversees the administration ,delivery and requirements of the apprenticeship program. There is also a trade advisory committee that is represented by industry to decide the relevant info that the apprenticeship committee uses to create the curriculum . A lot of the stuff and requirements have changed and are being reworked to more current trends in the welding trade. i guess its industry having input as to what the government teaches apprentices and the standards how they do it. a lot of stuff has changed over the years specifically in terms of the actual practical tests you do to get your redseal and what is needed for all the levels.I have a welding addiction
...the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask

This beautiful poster, published exclusively for SportsPosterWarehouse.com, features Larry during that historic first Super Bowl game - January 14, 1973, when the Dolphins topped the Washington Redskins 14-7 to cap their incredible perfect 1972 season. While Safety Jake Scott took home the MVP in that defense-dominated game, Csonka was the offensive star, grinding out yards on plays like this on that glorious afternoon at the L.A. Coliseum. The action is fierce in this historic old-school image, bringing you back to the days when real men played football, and the Dolphins were champions of the world! Printed from the original photographic negative, and complete with an official NFL Properties serialized hologram, this is both a stunning piece for the wall of any fan, and a valuable collector's item for years to come.

This page covers the many ways you can use Jetpack's Subscriptions module to let visitors to your site sign up to receive notifications of your latest posts and comments.
How does it work?
Many visitors land on your site once, never to return. Convert more visitors into regular readers by making it easy to subscribe to your site so new content is pushed directly to them. Jetpack takes care of letting them know whenever you publish a new post.
We can make this part of Jetpack because of WordPress.com: the WordPress.com servers handle the messy work of sending and managing all the email for you. Your blog is still yours, but subscriptions are handled, by us, for free, on your behalf.
How to turn Subscriptions on
Subscriptions requires no special magic to activate. Once you activate Jetpack on your site, Subscriptions will be on by default, however, you will need to set up a few Jetpack features to take full advantage of this great service!
Visitors can choose to subscribe to new posts, or to subscribe to new comments on a post they've commented on so they can stay involved in the conversation.
Where will subscriptions appear on my site?
Signup options for Subscriptions can appear in 3 places. One is on by default; the 2 others you have to activate manually.
1. By default, you'll see two new checkboxes at the bottom of the comment form of every post and page. It'll look something like this, depending on the theme you're using and whether or not you're using Jetpack Comments (screenshot is using Jetpack Comments):
2. You can also add the Jetpack Subscriptions widget to your sidebar, which we strongly recommend. Go to your Dashboard, and head over to Appearance → Widgets. You'll see a widget called Blog Subscriptions (Jetpack). Click and drag it to the part of your sidebar where you'd like it to appear. Easy!
3. You can also include the Subscriptions form anywhere on your site. To do so, add the following shortcode to any page or post:
You can customize this shortcode by using the following modifiers:
title– You can change the default "Subscribe to Blog via Email" to your own custom text by using
title. Example:
[jetpack_subscription_form title="My Custom Title"]
subscribe_text– This will change the default "Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email." text. Example:
[jetpack_subscription_form subscribe_text="My custom subscribe text!"]
subscribe_button– This will change the default "Subscribe" button text. Example:
[jetpack_subscription_form subscribe_button="Sign Me Up"]
show_subscribers_totalYou can choose to show your total number of subscribers alongside your form. You can use
0to hide them (the default) or
1to show them. Example:
[jetpack_subscription_form show_subscribers_total="1"]
Using the examples above, your shortcode of
[jetpack_subscription_form title="My Custom Title" subscribe_text="My custom subscribe text!" subscribe_button="Sign Me Up" show_subscribers_total="1"] will look like this!
What will my blog readers see when subscribing?
Visitors subscribe by typing in their email address. In a few minutes they'll receive a confirmation email that looks like something like this:
Once they click the "Confirm Follow" button, they'll receive a notification of every future post by email. Each email will have a link at the bottom to Manage Subscriptions, so they can unsubscribe at any time if they choose. Also, if they ignore the confirmation email, they won't receive anything from your site.
Note: You can customize the contents of this confirmation email by going to Settings → Reading in your dashboard.
Can I customize the content of the subscription emails?
- If you go to Settings → Reading in your dashboard, you can change your Feed Settings to "Summary". Once you save your changes, all subscription emails will only include an excerpt of your post, with a link to continue reading on the site.
- If your Feed settings are set to "Full Post", you can split the content of each one of your blog posts in two parts thanks to the More tag,
. Everything that is above the More tag will appear on your home page and in the subscription emails, followed by a link inviting users to click to continue reading; everything that is below that tag will only appear on the post's page.
How to turn Subscriptions off
If you don't want to use Subscriptions, you can follow the instructions here to turn them off.
Can I see who my subscribers are?
Sure! Here's how to find them:
- Go to your Dashboard
- Click on Jetpack → Site Stats
- Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page
- On the left, you'll see a section labeled Subscriptions
- Click on the link labeled 'Blog' to see a list of email address for all the people who have subscribed.
How to transfer your Followers from one site to another?
So you've moved from WordPress.com to your very own Jetpack-powered site? We can help you transfer your WordPress.com Followers and your email subscribers from your old site to the new one. We have details on our Transferring Subscribers support page.
Important Notes
Jetpack Subscriptions will only send out notifications for new posts. Publishing other post types (Pages, a Custom Post Type, etc) or updates of already published posts will not send a notification e-mail.

We've got a lot of love for the boys behind Timo Weiland. Designers Alan Eckstein and Timo Weiland craft beautiful pieces that are both wearable and just off-kilter enough to make them unforgettable. Fall '12 was no different — from a large floral patterned pants and sheer blouses in bright pink and purple hues to long, floaty velvet dresses that we can image starlets sashaying down a red carpet in, we were instant fans of the latest from this relatively young line. We got to venture backstage before the show to see the guys putting the finishing touches on their pieces that could all be easily dressed up or down, and chatted with visitors like fellow designer Erin Fetherston, who had her own show the day before. Check out these snaps of before, during, and after that follow Alan and Timo through the steps of prepping the models with hair and makeup teams, dressing both the gals and the dudes, and even enjoying a little downtime before the final run-through and then the show itself!

- We may give out extra fun special prizes (rare DC Cody mugs, etc.) to participants who don't win the main prize, so you should enter even if you don't think your program will be judged as the best entry.
- You may code any kind of program you want, but we strongly discourage any submissions that alter the user's system dramatically and would make testing difficult (please no intrusive system driver replacing tools).
How Do I Enter?
- To participate, please post a reply to this thread and email firstname.lastname@example.com stating your intention to enter, well in advance of the deadline (July 1st, 2008). We will then follow up with entrants about the best way to submit entries.
Good Luck -- Chris and I are both looking forward to seeing what you guys and gals come up with! If you know any coders who you think might be interested in participating, please let them know and help us spread the news about the contest.

Fairfax County is preparing for a lobbying assault on Congress to try and secure Springfield as the site of the new FBI headquarters building.
Congress could take up legislation determining the new location sometime next year, according to the county�s federal representatives. The biggest competition would likely come from Maryland, as elected officials there try and lure the facility to a location near one of the Metro stations in Prince Georges County.
The proposed Springfield location, near the Franconia-Springfield Metro Station, is federally owned property that now houses warehouse space.
County officials have been trying for years to get the federal government to construct office space there instead but were unsuccessful in doing so during the recent Department of Defense base realignment process.
The description of the type of site Congress is looking for �fits the GSA warehouse site to a T,� said Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield).
There is plenty of space to meet modern security requirements, the area is redeveloping and it is close to Metro, VRE and one of the largest bus hubs in the county, as well as being near multiple major highways.
Maryland has engaged some high-powered lobbyists to try and secure the facility, according to Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee), chairman of the board�s Legislative Committee.
Fairfax is now working on a strategy to engage the local business community, as well as the county�s own lobbying team, in an effort to counter Maryland�s hard sell.
�We will do our own full court press from a lobbying standpoint as to why this site is so superior,� he said.
The board is also actively discouraging the federal agency from taking up residence in one of the county�s existing office campuses, such as the former Exxon-Mobil headquarters, because that would take a valuable property off the county tax rolls.
In the case of Exxon-Mobil, the county would lose an estimated $2.5 million in tax revenue, McKay said, whereas the warehouse site is already federally owned and the county collects no taxes on it.

To prepare liquid nitrogen through the process of liquidation, molecular energy from Nitrogen is removed. So the liquid has little to no energy and is also a freezing temperature. When the liquid is exposed to regular conditions, the molecules inside the liquid start absorbing the heat energy from its surroundings causing it to boil. Liquid nitrogen even boils at temperatures below zero!!

When I increase my riding routine I end up getting bad cramps in both my calves and also my thighs and hamstrings. Does anyone have any tips to reduce cramps when your riding gets more serious.

I had problems with cramps in my legs after about an hour of exercise. A friend of mine that is a physical therapist said that if you sweat a lot this can cause loss of potassium, calcium, and magnesium. These minerals is used to signal the muscle to flex and relax. I started eating vitamins with these minerals in them. Since then my problems are gone.
Stretching and a good warm up is also important to prevent cramps.
I used to get bad cramps after just 25 minutes of riding and found out that it was due to low potassium levels. I'd recommend more bananas and potatoes or a good potassium supplement.

Kosher Vegetarian
|Daphne Oz's Mushroom & Vegetable Stuffing
by Daphne Oz, The Chew
Daphne Oz, co-star of The Chew, has developed this amazing vegetarian stuffing recipe, created from a list of healthful ingredients. Stuffing that won't make you feel stuffed! by the way,
1/2 loaf Multigrain Bread (torn into bite-sized pieces)
In a oven preheated to 400F, bake the torn bread until crunchy, about 10 minutes.
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, celery, mushrooms, and kale. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, and add the apple once the shallot has softened. Once the apple has softened, about 5 minutes, add the garlic, thyme, parsley, and sage. Cook for about a minute, until fragrant, then remove from heat, and mix in walnuts and bread.
Add vegetable broth until moist but not soggy (approximately 2 cups). Cover with foil and bake at 400F for 25 minutes, remove foil, and bake an additional 10 minutes, and serve. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Yield: 4 servings
Tip: To use as stuffing in a turkey, use less broth.
Recipes: Vegetarian, Stuffing, Mushrooms, Parve, Kosher

I use this Heli to fly around my house and out at the local School's Soccer Field. It has amazing range for such a little guy! It has 3 channel mode for just starting out and 4 channel mode for special maneuvers as well as a low speed and high speed mode for outdoors.
High wind to moderate wind is impossible to fly in and it is actually very easy to loose track of the copter because it is so small.
I've flown at least 8 different kinds of RC helicopters and this one is by far my favorite!

When working it is a nice copter. Lots of fun to fly, but it has too many very tiny parts that break on impact. The main problem is it's fragility and cost. I and my son received this as a gift on 12/25, and by 1/7 had broken nearly every part once, with only routine use.
We used all items included in the repair kit - about 4 connecting rods, one rotor blade, fastening screw that got lost. Spent as much time fixing it as we did flying it. Now today the stabilizer bar broke. and this part cannot be replaced even after a direct call to Brookstone. A shame that a broken 20-cent plastic part puts this copter in the trash.
The support staff at Brookstone are very nice people - but they can do nothing because replacement parts simply are not available. And this copter costs way too much to buy a new one.
The stunt copter may be ok for an expert, experienced flier. But a child or beginner will be very disappointed. If some day a better selection of replacement parts were available, this might be more worthwhile.
I would recommend careful research - find a copter with MANY sources for inexpensive replacement parts - then buy that copter. You'll want one with several years of marketing so that these diverse parts suppliers are available. You'll find many good copters that are more stable in the air, and more durable. Make sure to get one with an internal gyroscope. Look for one with a METAL housing - they do exist. All the small breakable parts on the stunt copter are fragile plastic.

Comments about Stunt Copter RC Helicopter:
This copter was impossible to fly from day one. It is absolutely not possible to get it to hover, so the entire time you are flying it, you are trying to keep it from flying off to parts unknown. One day, it decided it wasn't going to respond to inputs any longer and flew off towards the east. I turned off the remote, and it still kept flying. I looked through my entire neighborhood, and did not find it. Do not buy this copter because you will only scream with frustration.

Comments about Stunt Copter RC Helicopter:
I have a high performance gas powered R/C speed boat and dune buggy, so you'd think I could fly this simple helicopter. NOT! The trims simply cannot keep this stunt copter stable. Received 2 for Christmas. One broke the main gear on its first flight. The other one has sat unused because it is unflyable. Huge disappointment. I'm looking at a Blade Nano quadcopter. Very stable even with hands off the controller.

Comments about Stunt Copter RC Helicopter:
I loved this thing. Unfortunately, they do not last. Got this as a Christmas Gift. Day 1: Learning to fly, crashed a few times, then crashed and the wires for the the tail motor sheared. Took back for a replacement. Day 2 (day 1 of new copter). Getting pretty good at flying it. After the 3rd battery charge, had a burned smell and rear rotor was not working, took it back, got another. 4 battery charges later, same thing. A little smoke was coming out of the body, rear rotor not working. Took it back. Love the thing so I figured I'd try one more. Day 3 - Successful flights, this one lasted about 8 charges. Has the burnt smell and rear rotor not working again. Have to give up now.
This thing is a load of fun and fun to fly. To bad it is so poorly made. Not sure if the rear motors are at fault or some component on the PCB where the smoke comes from.

Comments about Stunt Copter RC Helicopter:
My daughter and I have now been flying this daily for the last month. I am amazed how it has held up as its been crashed onto the concrete, side of the house, and caught in trees. The best thing we have learned is to kill the engine when you know its going down and that has save the blades. I am buying a second battery as we are tired of flying for shorts periods of time and having to recharge. Other than that, its a good buy and a good start for bigger and better RC helicopters.

Zond 8 was the last in the series of circumlunar spacecraft designed to rehearse a piloted circumlunar flight. The project was initiated in 1965 to compete with the Americans in the race to the Moon, but lost its importance once three astronauts circled the Moon on the Apollo 8 mission in December 1968.
After a midcourse correction on 22 October at a distance of 250,000 km from Earth, Zond 8 reached the Moon without any apparent problems, circling its target on 24 October at a range of 1,200 km. The spacecraft took black-and-white photographs of the lunar surface during two separate sessions.
After two midcourse corrections on the return leg, Zond 8 flew a return over Earth's northern hemisphere instead of the standard southern approach profile, allowing Soviet ground control stations to maintain near-continuous contact with the ship. The guidance system evidently malfunctioned on the return leg, and the spacecraft performed a simple ballistic (instead of a guided) reentry into Earth's atmosphere. The vehicle's descent module splashed down safely in the Indian Ocean at 13:55 UT on 27 October about 730 km southeast of the Chagos Islands, 24 km from its original target point.

Ugly Duckling''s members include Dizzy Dustin (Dustin McFarland), Young Einstein (Rodney Pleasant Jr.) and Andy Cat (Andy Cooper).

Comments about Razor eSpark Electric Scooter:
Ever since my kids got their eSpark scooters, their friends want to take turns on it. It's fun to see all the ways they "trail blaze." From creating sparks over a long distance, to short bursts of sparks that make it appear to back fire. The kids think it's a riot. I can't help laughing myself.
