Grilled Mushroom Sandwich Recipe with Herbs
The Grilled Mushrooms Sandwich recipe is a simple and quick recipe that can be made for a breakfast, a brunch or supper or even packed for a school lunch box. The finely chopped mushrooms spiced up with green chillies, coriander leaves makes a filling and healthy weekend breakfast or snack/lunch box. Serve the Grilled Mushroom Sandwich Recipe with Herbs for breakfast or even pack them into lunch boxes or even take them for picnics.
Did You Know: Mushrooms are an exceptionally nutrient-dense food, with one serve offering a surprising amount and array of essential nutrients. Mushrooms are naturally low in sodium, fat, cholesterol, and calories and have often been referred to as "functional foods." The fiber, potassium and vitamin C content in mushrooms all contribute to cardiovascular health. Potassium and sodium work together in the body to help regulate blood pressure. Consuming mushrooms, which are high in potassium and low in sodium helps to lower blood pressure and decrease the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases.
- 8 slices of wheat bread/or any bread of your choice
- 400 grams button mushrooms, chopped
- 2 to 3 green chillies, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- a small bunch of chopped coriander leaves, finely chopped
- Butter as required
- olive oil for cooking
Directions for Grilled Mushroom Sandwich Recipe with Herbs
To begin making the Grilled Mushroom Sandwich Recipe with Herbs, we will first cook the mushrooms well in a wok or a heavy bottomed pan.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a wok or a heavy bottomed pan on medium heat; add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until water has evaporated (mushrooms give out water while being cooked). Once all the water and moisture is evaporated, add the green chillies, salt and black pepper and sauté until all the ingredients come together.
Turn off heat; stir in coriander leaves, mix and set aside.
You need 2 slices of bread to make 1 sandwich.
Spread the butter on the slices of bread. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture on one slice and cover with the other slice.
You can now grill the Mushroom Sandwiches using a Panini Press or Sandwich Maker and serve warm.
Serve the Grilled Mushroom Sandwich Recipe with Herbs for breakfast or even pack them into lunch boxes or even take them for picnics.

The West Midlands Regional Health Authority said the bed closures would come over the next five years as day surgery and shorter lengths of stay reduced the need for them, and as pounds 17m a year is transferred out of Greater Birmingham under the NHS funding formula.
The sweeping changes would affect 1.4 million people in Birmingham, Sandwell and Solihull. It is proposed that all large hospitals should be slimmed down rather than some be shut. The consultative document, Looking Forward, says closing a major hospital would be easier and save more money. However, people would then be forced to travel for care.
The new package replaces the pounds 500m Building a Healthy Birmingham plan which proved hopelessly ambitious a few years ago. But it would still see a string of specialist hospitals and units close and merge, with the Children's Hospital transferred into a refurbished General Hospital, and the Eye, Skin and Women's hospitals all closing and moving into other hospitals. Cancer services will be concentrated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
To help make the plan viable in a city where the health services have been in crisis, the region yesterday wrote off last year's pounds 12.5m deficit incurred by South Birmingham Health Authority. It is likely to do the same for a similar sum this year.
Behind the plan are assumptions that day surgery, which accounts for 43 per cent of all planned surgery, will rise to at least 60 per cent of the total, while the length of stay in hospital, which has already been cut by a third for medical patients in five years, will fall further. Earlier diagnosis, faster-acting drugs, better hospital management and improved community services allow that, the document says.
Dr Ken Taylor, co-ordinator of the Birmingham Doctors' Emergency Admissions Group, said he was 'appalled' by the loss of up to 1,500 beds. 'I do not believe that number is justified by the facts, and I am sure it is driven entirely by the financial consideration that Greater Birmingham is to lose pounds 17m a year under the funding formula.'

Travel Blogs from Ironbridge
Farewell to England. and lets bring on Spain!
Our stay in the United Kingdom this time is only about five days. We had travelled fairly extensively throughout the British Isles on our last trip and we always had planned to head South. The few days here were really only for getting over jet lag and for playing golf. Having done that, we hit the road to head to Birmingham and our flights to Spain.
Along the way we stopped at a charming English town ...
... do I want to explore? After all, there is nothing there apart from Uluru (Ayres rock) and Alice Springs (the geographical centre of Australia). Having looked at the logistics of riding to Uluru and Alice Springs which is typically five days, I decided that I didn't want to carry five days worth of fuel, food and water, but more importantly I didn't want to wild camp with snakes, spiders and Dingos… So I'll let the train take ...
A leisurely start in Shrewsbury and as always a great breakfast all alone in the main banqueting hall No menu here - just ask for anything !! The weather is slowly improving and after a quick grab of a subway sandwich for Donna we set off to Ironbridge. In 1779 the worlds first bridge made out of iron was built here, in today's terms a very short bridge but quite a historic event. ...
A bit of Industrial revolution
I loved today's visit to Ironbridge. It is one of the places where the Industrial Revolution is said to have started. And how wonderful it is when something you learnt about so many years ago comes to life in a place like this.
Do today's students still have this enjoyment of knowledge that is internal without having to Google it? I love the Internet, and it is so integral to my life I don't know what ...
Machines, machines, machines
... they create before inflicting them on others! However, we are being treated very well, ( by two ex-teachers), so shouldn't complain.
The thing to know about Ironbridge is that it kick-started the Industrial Revolution. Without it there would be no large iron or steel buildings, no Eiffel Tower, no trains etc. It all related to the happy circumstance where all the ingredients for iron making were found so close together - iron, coal, clay and ...

Karen H. purchased this condo in 2011
Randy remembers coming to Sanibel on the ferry with his grandparents who had a house on Fort Myers beach. This was before the bridge was built. His Dad also had a house in Fort Myers. Many good memories are here for us.
Mariner Pointe is a quiet complex with private lanais and extraordinary views of the bay. This convenient location is easy on and off the island and yet convenient to everything the island has to offer.
We have just returned from our trip to Sanibel Island staying at this lovely condo. The condo is well appointed just a hop from Periwinkle Way where there are a large number of restaurants and cafes and of course shops. We were close to the beaches, the nearest one being Lighthouse Beach. The condo itself has wonderful views overlooking the Bay with a vast amount of wildlife from dolphins to osprey. The condo was very well equipped with everything you would need to make you trip comfortable and peaceful.
We had a wonderful time here and would have no hesitation recommending this property. Karen is a very nice person to deal with and if you have any queries she would have no problem helping you. We look forward to returning soon.
This was our first visit to Sanibel Island and we really enjoyed our stay. The condo has everything you would need and is a great location on the Island overlooking the bay and causeway. It is very comfortable and clean. Loved the kitchen!!! It was nice having the beach chairs there and not having to take some with us. They also had, books, blankets, beach towels, tennis rackets, beach nets, etc. Really everything you would need. We enjoyed the pool. It was basically right out the door of the unit and watching the boats coming and going, as well as the pelicans, dolphins and manatees from the screened in porch was great. We did enjoy the beaches in Captiva more than on Sanibel Island, the shelling was better on Captiva it seemed and the watered was clearer too.
We had an absolutely amazing stay at this condo! From the moment we booked our stay here we couldn't wait to go. Once we got there, we were not disappointed. It was exactly how it was described. Karen was great to work with. Whenever we had a question for her, she always responded within an hour. This was our sixth visit to Sanibel and without a doubt, our best. The property manager at this complex was also awesome. We met him at the pool and he was very cordial. He gave us a lot of great ideas on things to do and where to eat. If you want to see dolphins, be sure to go out on the Sanibel Thriller. I could go on and on about our stay here. I will just say this, if you go to Sanibel and stay here, you will be very happy! We will be booking our next trip soon. Thanks Karen!!
Having recently returned from a three week stay at Mariner Pointe I can say we have not been disappointed. Inside the condo we were treated to a well furbished accommodation with some typical Floridian artwork, a good supply of towels and furniture for picnics or days out, a well laid out kitchen supplied with everything you would want for preparing your own meals , light refreshments and home cooking. Not that we felt in need with such an assortment of dining out options.( Loved the huge freezer and Ice maker - made the Margaritas taste special!)
The condo was in a great location on the waterfront and the access to the pier was very close and the fishing was exciting because you never knew what you would catch. Outside was a lovely pool with good seating if you just wanted to soak up the sun or read a book and BBQ stations a plenty.
You need a few days to adjust to the slower pace of living on the island and lunch time meals became the main course of the day with so many eateries, from late breakfasts at Over Easy to lunchtime snacks at Jerry's supermarket. Many eateries close down around 9.00 to 9.30, having said that, our favourite later eating preference was the Sandbar with pork chops and steaks to die for.
As a golfer I took the opportunity to play both the island courses and was extremely disappointed with the condition and price charged at the Dunes. Sanibel was slightly better and cheaper although lacking in practice facilities. By far the best course was Raptor Bay near Estero which boasted good practice facilities, a sleeve of balls, buggy and a total green fee of just over $50.
The Ding Darling Preserve is a big attraction and I was slightly underwhelmed by the drive through experience as there were not a lot of birds to be observed from the roadside and I suspect that you need the canoe to experience the more secluded areas. Taking a pontoon out on Tarpon Bay was great, though a half day went very quickly.
The Mariner Pointe apartment was a first floor, two bed unit which for a couple was excellent , however for an extended stay with four people may be a bit tight if you stay in for some time. The enclosed balcony had a net surrounding it which, whilst offering protection from the insects ( and there were plenty about) did feel a little claustrophobic.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and a location well worth a visit.
We had a wonderful time at Karen's condo! AS ADVERTISED! It had everything we needed and more, nothing was missing. Very clean, up to date property! Great kitchen appliances and great wash machine and dryer. Beds in both rooms were comfortable. I felt it was a big bonus to have a king in one room and queen in the second room. Made it the perfect place for 2 couples to stay. (Most other units I looked at had twins in the second bedroom.) The lanai was our favorite place! Nice corner unit with great privacy. Watched beautiful sunrises every morning while enjoying coffee and breakfast. Comfortable seating for the four of us. Enjoyed cocktails every evening on the lanai while watching dolphins, manatees, and boats go by.
Convenient location. Quick easy access to bike trails, causeway, and main areas. My husband could not believe you didn't need a fishing license to fish off the pier, but you don't. He brought his rod and reel and he had a great time! There was even a fishing rod in the spare bedroom that our son-in-law used! (Did't I mention it had everything you'd need and more!) Very relaxing for both of them.
Marina is very close and we had a great bonus when we booked a fishing trip with Cast About Charters... Captain Ben picked us up with the boat basically outside the door! Such service! He was a wonderful captain and we had a great time on Cast About Charters and highly recommend it. Beautiful boat, great captain. Fantastic time!
The condo was a great place to come home to after a day of fun in the sun! Can't say enough good things about this unit. Karen was easy to work with and got back to me in record time when ever I had a question. WOW! Never had this quick of response at other VRBO properties that we have rented. Thanks again to Karen and Randy for providing this beautiful home away from home. We definitely needed it after our long cold Wisconsin winter! : )
This beautiful condo had everything we required: fully stocked kitchen, beautiful view of the bay from the screened porch, comfortable beds, and easy access to the wonders of Sanibel Island. We ate all our meals overlooking the bay, where dolphins and sea birds put on a show for us. The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. Thank you, Karen, for providing such a lovely spot for our vacation.
Our unit at Mariner Pointe has the Bay on the back side and the canal on the front side. Just steps from our door you will find the heated pool, tennis courts, and grills. Shelling is fantastic on the Sanibel Beaches, especially on the west end of the island. The beach is about a mile away and and there is a deeded beach entry at the end of Lindgren Blvd. You can bring your boat and rent a slip by the week or fish off the fishing pier. The dolphins have a playground in the waters in front of our building. Just sit back and watch the show. We hope you love it as much as we do and return often.

Earlier this week, FanGraphs ran a post called, "The Determinants of Foreign Talent." The author, Bradley Woodrum, was trying to find answers as to why two tiny countries -- Venezuela and the Dominican Republic -- account for roughly 66 percent of all Major League Baseball's foreign players and made up 17.5 percent of Opening Day rosters.
Certainly, young players in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela receive a lot more attention than those in the rest of the world. Basically all of MLB's foreign academies exist in these two countries. But all of those academies and the money that goes with them wouldn't have been established if the talent wasn't already in place. Some would say that it is a cultural thing, something I cannot really speak on. But whatever it is that makes the Dominican Republic and Venezuela special, it is very difficult to completely quantify. If anyone ever figures out how to spread the baseball success of those two countries to the rest of the world, no doubt that person will make a lot of money.
Obviously, it is important for organizations to farm foreign markets, but the FanGraphs piece made me wonder which team is currently getting the most out of foreign talent. Naturally, I turned to wins above replacement, WAR, for some answers. By totaling the WAR for each team's foreign players I found some interesting results. An abundance of foreign talent has turned some teams into contenders. However, other franchises are struggling, even though their foreign players are producing at a high level. And then there are teams like the A's and Padres -- their foreign players aren't producing, but neither are their other players. In the end, like everything else in baseball, this mostly comes down to the efficient use of money.
For my calculations I used FanGraphs' WAR from June 29th. I only used players that were born on foreign soil, have played this season (obviously), and were on their team's 40-man roster as of Wednesday night. Guys that are on the 60-day DL, e.g. Jorge De La Rosa, or have been designated for assignment weren't counted. Also, in order to compare and contrast Venezuela and the Dominican Republic, I tallied the WAR of every player from each country. (For a full team-by-team breakdown, you'll find it over at the Blake Street Bulletin by clicking here.
Some teams, like the Blue Jays and Mets, have impressive totals because of one dominant player. Other teams like the Cubs have a high foreign WAR total because they've spent a ton of money on free agents that were brought up by other organizations. That's what makes the Indians' tally so remarkable -- Shin-Soo Choo's thumb injury notwithstanding. Not only are they receiving the most contribution from foreign players, they didn't have to spend a bunch of money to assemble all of that talent.
Interestingly, even with their immense resources, the Yankees and Red Sox don't seem to have any advantage in the foreign talent race. The Yankees have done well for themselves, but seeing as how they can have any player they want, I expected them to be getting a little more. It seems that simply making an effort in the DR and Venezuela will inevitably pay off. However, while most of the league can keep pace in the foreign market, the truly broke seem to be at a major disadvantage. Teams with tight pocket books, like the Pirates, Rays, Padres and A's, are receiving very little help from guys born outside of the United States, leaving them to fight an uphill battle. Being unable to reach a quarter of baseball's talent pool is an enormous shortcoming.
As far as comparing the Dominican and Venezuela, it's an exercise in futility. Right now, Dominican players have a slightly higher cumulative WAR, but there are also more of them. On the flip side, the Dominican Republic usually gets a monster contribution from Albert Pujols, and he has been less than machine-like this season. In reality, there isn't much difference between the two baseball-mad countries. Both places are factories for top-notch baseball players, and probably will be perpetually. Some look at countries like Colombia and see endless potential for baseball talent. Perhaps they are right, but it's difficult to foresee how any place will ever produce the remarkable amounts of talent that come out of Venezuela and the Dominican.
Several franchises, whether it's because of a lack of resources or simple incompetence, aren't taking advantage of the global market. However, the mid-market teams that are able to utilize this vast resource, e.g. the Indians and Rockies, have been able to somewhat level the playing field against baseball's giants. With the exception of the Rays, there aren't any teams competing without significant help from foreign players. It's no longer just a good idea for teams to develop a global scouting presence; it's now a requirement.

Kelly Reemtsen's Ladies
Mmmmm, you know i adore a good unexpected juxtaposition… like these fun paintings by Kelly Reemsten! Headless/footless women in lovely party frocks holding simple tools… like bolt cutters, axes, gardening shears, chainsaws, crowbars… and wearing dish gloves and oven mits… simple every day things! They also have great names like 'The load I Carry', 'Heavy Handed', 'Axe', 'B & E', 'Prowler', 'Leverage', 'Character Assassination', etc. Awesome, right? And these are all large oil paintings ranging from 20'x20' to 44'x44'. How fun would it be to have the perfect one hanging conspicuously in that perfect entry way… Is it any surprise that she started in Fashion Design and Painting?

Child magazine's Best Children's Book Awards 2004
Peter and the Starcatchers: The Starcatchers Series, Books 1-3by Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson
Award-winning authors Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have turned back the clock and revealed a
In an evocative and fast-paced adventure on the high seas and on a faraway island, an orphan boy named Peter and his mysterious new friend, Molly, overcome bands of pirates and thieves in their quest to keep a fantastical secret safe and save the world from evil.
Award-winning authors Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have turned back the clock and revealed a wonderful story that precedes J. M. Barrie's beloved Peter Pan. Peter and the Starcatchers is brimming with richly developed characters, from the scary but somehow familiar Black Stache and the ferocious Mister Grin to the sweet but sophisticated Molly and the fearless Peter. Page after page of riveting adventures take readers on a journey from a filthy, crime-ridden port in old England across the turbulent seas. Aboard the Never Land is a trunk that holds a magical substance that amazes -- just a sprinkle, and wounds heal; just a dusting, and people can fly.
Roiling seas and dangerous thunderstorms are the backdrop for battles at sea. Bone-crushing waves eventually land our characters on Prawn Island -- where the action really heats up.
This impossible-to-put-down tale leads readers on an unforgettable journey, fraught with danger yet filled with mystical and magical things.

i havent read the third book yet,but the first two books were amazing! they are impossible to put down! The authors did an amazing job of createing a story to explain how peter pan became peter pan. They are the best books i have EVER read, and i have read alot of books! :)
This hole series book pulls you in and makes you never want to stop reading! It's full of adventure,mystery,and fantasy! Every little part fits in and means something at the end. I never want the Peter and the Starcatchers series to end.
These books are amazing. This series is a remake of peter pan the first book starting off with how Peter became well, Peter Pan and how he came to know the lost boys and live on Neverland. I liked these books better than the real Peter Pan book. Each book is filled with excitement and treasure. It was not predictable like I thought it would be...This book will be loved by both girls and boys alike. One thing that needs to be said about it though is that in the first book there is a usuage of the D word by one of the piarates but otherwise these books would be ideal...
As a fan of Dave Barry, I was surprised to see his name on the book my 11 year old grandson was carrying around. Curiosity about Barry's writing led me inside, but once there I was quickly caught up in the story. I cajoled my grandson into letting me read aloud to him. I love to read in the different voices (especially Ombra's) and see his face as he listens. In the Mystery of Rungoon, the author explains the origins of Starcatchers in terms that inspire pre-teens to think. Then he cleverly explains hitherto unrevealed information about the Lost Boys. I have always wondered how the clock inside the croc could keep on ticking--and now I know! Although I hate for this book to end, I am looking forward to the 4th book.

Interested in family history the good and the bad.
Alot of my ancestors and KIN are in Weston West Virginia and some are in New York or more to the point Long Island New York.
I hope to record all this and pass it down to the next generation of my family. Sadly I cant find anything past my dads parents. The only thing I know is they came from Canton China. Plus two of my family memebers are dead and now the door even closes more of where my chinese ancestors come from. Out of 7 now only 4 remain to tell our chinese story. Recently lost my dad on August 19, 2016 now only three remain to tell our story. Bill Perry and Mary (Mark) Jung
Oh I am also interested in findagrave so people know where people are buried I find it sad there are markers that are no longer readable and they are strangers in the cemetery.

Thanks for the contact. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly where the grave is located. I found the name of the cemetery by looking at the family Bible but did not have a plot location. I would assume that he is buried by his wife, but I have been unable to find an obituary or burial record for her.

RE: anton yelchin grave site
Hattie McDaniel remains at Angelus Rosedale Cemetery. The cenotaph at H4E was place by Tyler Cassity when he bought the place in 1998, to partially honor her final wish to be buried there in the first place. He did offer to mover her remains but her family declined the offer.
I did not get word of Anton Yelchin's transfer. I found it by accident and asked around after I found it. I learned that his mother moved him there and that she visits the grave often.

His service was at Mount Sinai, and he was originally buried there. Then, for some reason, his mother had him moved to Hollywood Forever. He is by the lake, not far from the Hattie McDaniel Memorial. I was truly surprised to find him there.

Hi, Micah -- I'm sorry, I don't know the particular section of the cemetery where Ira's buried. If you find him, however, would you mind seeing if his wife is buried there with him? Her name is Fern Marie (Duffy) Ward. I don't know why she doesn't have a memorial page on findagrave.com.

Christian HypnosisQUESTION: Christian hypnosis - Should Christians submit to hypnosis?
Is Christian hypnosis beneficial? Hypnosis is a highly focused state of attentive concentration. During hypnosis, whether it is induced by a hypnotist or self-induced, the subject is in a state of high vulnerability and suggestibility. It is a condition that a person, generally, has willingly submitted to or has stimulated within themselves. Those who employ the technique of hypnosis in their lives do so for various therapeutic or self-help reasons. Hypnosis has been used to deal with such things as phobias, pain, behavior problems and perfection of skills, to name a few. The danger lies in relying for help, wisdom, improvement and cure on any source outside of God.
Hypnosis is relinquishing control to another person or relying on our own inner abilities for help. Our inner abilities are not sufficient to give us the deliverance that we need. God has promised to do that for us. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all (Psalm 34:19). Christians should carefully research and examine the known facts regarding hypnosis and tread with caution before submitting to it.
Hypnosis leads to an altered state of consciousness. In this state the mind is very susceptible to outside suggestion. The Bible says, Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. (1 Peter 5:8).
Help comes from God. In the Bible, the Psalmist declared hundreds of years ago that his help came from God. My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2). Dependency is not just on any god, but the God who made the heavens and the earth. We can be assured by that knowledge of the power of God that nothing we bring to Him would be too difficult for Him to fix.
This truth was affirmed by the prophet Jeremiah: O Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you (Jeremiah 32:17). Christians by no means are exempt from trouble. We have sickness, pain and difficulties. We strive for excellence and have goals and dreams like everyone else. Christians suffer with addictive behavior, fears, and stressful circumstances. But Christians have the promise of the continual help of the Spirit of God who indwells them. God has promised to give us renewal and deliverance. Christians should not be looking into themselves for the help that they need. Nor should Christians look to another to bring them into any unreal or unnatural state to combat problems. God is able to do all that needs to be done. Yes, it will take faith and patience, but God is able to do whatever we ask of Him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours (Mark 11:24).
WHAT DO YOU THINK? - We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
What is your response?
Yes, today I am deciding to follow Jesus
Yes, I am already a follower of Jesus
I still have questions
What is your response?
Yes, today I am deciding to follow Jesus
Yes, I am already a follower of Jesus
I still have questions

Greene Street Films, First Look Studios, and directors Bernie Goldmann and Melisa Wallack combined forces to come up with a clever, low-key comedy, Meet Bill. The film, released to DVD on July 15, stars Aaron Eckhart (Thank you for Not Smoking) in a role that is contrary to his normal arrogant, hard, and edgy characters. He plays Bill, a well-to-do banker with a nice house and a beautiful wife, Jess (Elizabeth Banks). Unfortunately, he also has a low sense of self-worth as he feels overwhelmed by the pressure of working for his father-in-law, and is especially disturbed to learn that Jess has been having an affair with a local news reporter (Timothy Olyphant). Even worse, he allows himself to be made to feel guilty for it all.
As Bill feels down in the dumps and struggles to cope with his latest burdens, he meets a young and carefree teenager (Logan Lerman). His new young friend is working on a mentor project from school, but ends up teaching Bill more about life than he could have ever imagined. As the two hang out and peruse the town, they meet up with a lingerie salesperson, Lucy, played by the beautiful Jessica Alba. The kid has his own sights set on Lucy but also uses his new friend to help teach Bill the 'finer' things in life.
Aaron Eckhart is a great actor and despite venturing off his typical acting path, he performs well as a doormat character. The story and plot of the movie is not overwhelming, but that is part of the point. It is intended to offer some light-hearted humor and it certainly does just that. Jessica Alba also plays a bit of a different role than her norm. She is very much a supporting player and her character is not a major romantic player in the story, despite her newfound friendships. Elizabeth Banks, perhaps best known as the freaky girl from 40-Year Old Virgin, is solid as the cheating wife.
Meet Bill is definitely a good weekend movie for viewers looking for some light-hearted, not overly demanding humor. The funny moments are subtle enough to be funny, but not so subtle that you have to be stimulated to pick them up. One nice aspect of this film, which features a talented and diverse cast, is that it does not feel a need to offer a lot of moral guidance. It simply tells an interesting and funny story.Powered by Sidelines

In 1870, Louis Riel led the formation of an illegal Provisional Government in Fort Garry (now Winnipeg), to resist Ottawa's plan to displace the French-speaking Catholic Metis with an influx of English Protestant settlers. Thomas Scott was a virulently racist Orangeman who inflamed the Provisional Government and was executed for insubordination.
Himself executed in 1885, Riel is now considered one of Canada's most authentic cultural heroes.

Depression means sadness that may result in crying or may simply steal your happiness. It may be difficult for you to function throughout your day, to think positive thoughts, to make decisions or to enjoy anything. It also involves low energy, sleep and eating disturbances and isolation. I help my clients get through their depression by finding out who they are, seeing how they can regain self-confidence, acting like a mirror to reflect your best qualities and helping regain feelings of connectedness. Simultaneously, each symptom is worked on by determining coping skills to match the problem in strength and intensity.

During the course of treatment, you will learn how to challenge distorted and negative thought patterns that lead to depression. I will help you to identify healthy ways to cope with stress, through relaxation techniques, mindfulness and exercise. With the help of depression treatment you can increase energy, decrease fatigue and achieve a sense of fulfillment that didn't seem possible before.

Experiencing depression can be particularly trying on a person. At times, many individuals in your life may not understand what depression is or why you "can't snap out of it". It is crucial to understand that depression is not a choice and with time, effort, and the right treatment approach, you can work toward minimizing depressive symptoms and returning to your own personal level of success and happiness.

Living with depression can be challenging, particularly when you see no signs of this feeling going away. We can help you determine what aspects of your life and relationships are causing this sadness and begin working to alleviate these distressing symptoms. Individual therapy can be beneficial alone or in conjunction with medication to reduce depressive symptoms and enhance positive feelings. We are available for a free 15 minute phone consultation to determine whether therapy with us is right for you - to schedule, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call/text (516) 387-5143.

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hopelessness, despair and melancholy are all words usually used to describe depression. The restoration of hope and optimism is the goal of therapy. The need for appropriate and accurate evaluation/assessment are of paramount importance. Once the clients level of depression has been determined, an individualized treatment plan will be developed accordingly, including mutually agreed upon goals.
Joseph Volpe, Ph.D.
Clinical and School Psychologist
Commack, Babylon, Roslyn Heights, Miller Place, New York 11764
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression has been shown to be just as effective in treating depression than many medications for some people. Our staff are all well-versed in this approach to helping depression. When medication is indicated, we will work with our consulting psychiatrists to ensure that proper care is being provided. All treatment is based on a proper assessment of symptoms which is our first step.

If you have a pulse and a heart, you have been sad. Using the science of happiness rather than standard interventions for depression we focus on increasing positive emotion, engagement, and meaning rather than directly targeting depressive symptoms. In using these interventions with clients I have noted the effects of these interventions in a variety of settings. In informal and clinical settings these interventions have commonly been reported to me and referred to as "life-changing."

....It seems like the HF2 may have a difficult time living up to the expectations set by the HF1. HF1's are renowned for being great "bang for the buck", a steal at the original $199, and even comparable to higher end reference series Grados....
....From reading jude's impressions, I get the picture of them being HF1's with just slightly more detail but at over twice the cost....
All that said, I'm not going to try to convince you that the HF2 is worth it to you. Listen to it if you can get your ears on it and decide for yourself. I have a feeling that no matter what I say, every unit made will end up being spoken for anyway--so there will undoubtedly be an HF2 for you to listen to at local meets at some point. By then, however, if you do decide you like it, you may have to go to the used market for one--and, at that point, I don't think you'll be concerned about whether or not it's worth it for $429, as there's probably a good chance that $429 will be as in-the-past as the HF1 at $200.

Cantaloupe Salad With Raspberry Vinaigrette
Quick look
- prep 10 min cook 5 min
- serves 4
- 1 tablespoon hulled pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup seedless raspberry all-fruit spread
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 large cantaloupe, cut into 8 wedges
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1
Toast pumpkin seeds in a small, heavy skillet over medium heat until they begin to pop, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- 2
Meanwhile, whisk raspberry spread, vinegar, lemon juice, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
- 3
Add cantaloupe and blueberries to bowl and toss to combine. Sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds.
How to make it 10 minutes
NOTE: One serving equals 2 cantaloupe wedges, 1/4 cup (golf ball) blueberries, and 1 teaspoon (tip of thumb to first joint) pumpkin seeds.

FACTOID:Melons — cantaloupe, honeydew, Crenshaw, watermelon, and a growing number of gourmet varieties — are among the lowest-calorie fruits. They have a high water content and less sugar than other fruits. Cantaloupe is a standout for its vitamin C and vitamin A, two important nutrients that you get mainly from fruits and vegetables. A cup of melon (about the size of a fist) contains between 45 and 60 calories.

I am wondering if anyone here is using Yeez mobile and is happy with them.
I signed up as a Yeez private label reseller, but I am thinking of leaving, for several reasons.
Recently I signed up with Avid and like their platform a lot better. I am thinking of ditching Yeez and only offering a short code via Avid, but I have a new client who wants to go with a long code, so I am not sure what to do. Unfortunately I convinced him of the benefits long codes, and he likes the fact that he can own the number, which is very important to him.
So, my dilemma is do I:
1. Ditch Yeez entirely and only go with a short code.
2. Stay with Yeez and offer both long and short codes. (This client wants to use both).
3. Switch to another long code provider.
I would love to know if anyone if having good results using Yeez or any other long code service.

I don't know anything about Yeez in all my research I haven't come across them but a popular long code provider being used right now is Twilio.com. I like their Call to Join feature. They don't have many features like Avid. I personally have been thinking about signing up with Avid because of all the cool features they have but right now I'm staying with Twilio. Check them out and see what you think. I noticed your in Canada so I'm not sure if Twilio works in Canada.

Thanks - yes Twilio is in Canada now. Just in the last couple of months.
I might go that route. My son is a programmer and said he can build a platform for me. Hasn't yet though!
Are you using any third party software to run Twilio?

Kayla I would say keep it as long as the CLIENT is happy. If he wants both, (for whatever reason) give him both. Although I think that's a big mistake in 'Branding" but who knows. I like Avid & Lime the best so just do what you gotta do, remember...it's war out there!
