Holding down the Indy office, Grace says that whatever she might envision her day to be like when she's on her way to work, it never turns out that way. A certain amount of chaos is to be expected in a business serving customers with hot water emergencies, but that just keeps things interesting, and Grace loves her job both for its variety and casual atmosphere.
Things aren't much calmer on the home front, where Grace is a second mom to her two granddaughters, Kadence and Kaylee.

Description: The name "Shih Tzu" means lion dog in Chinese, and they received the name because of their long, flowing mane-like coat. The lion is highly regarded in Buddhist culture, and therefore the Shih Tzu made its way into palaces and royalty's lap in the older days of China. The Shih Tzu is a sturdy, lively, toy dog with a long flowing double coat. The topknot on the head is usually held up with a bow, and they have dark round eyes with a pleasing expression. Shih Tzus can be of any color and any pattern, but a white blaze and a white tail is much desired. They somewhat resemble Ewoks from the movie Star Wars. The actual Japanese standard for this breed states that this breed should have, "lion head, bear torso, camel hoof, feather-duster tail, palm-leaf ear, rice teeth, pearly petal tongue, and a movement like a goldfish." Shih Tzus have a distinctively arrogant carriage with head well up and tail curved over the back. They may display an arrogant personality, but are actually playful and gentle. They are quite friendly, more so than their cousins, the Lhasa Apso. They are not as wary of strangers, and get along well with everyone. Shih Tzus adapt well to any family situation and will enjoy a cuddle in your lap, doing tricks, or fetching a tennis ball. Shih Tzus are an intelligent dog who will make a good family addition. Despite their small size the Shih Tzu is a confident and dignified breed.

very people oriented, vivacious and athletic. The Shih Tzu makes a very pleasing
companion and will be obedient if trained.

Hints & tips
Spanair was a small airline that mostly flies flying trans-Europe. It isn't well known by many fliers but it operates many charter flights, and it has a small obscure collection of routes around Europe. It operates two class planes, with a no-frills service in economy. In business class it varies between very good, to downright appalling, depending on the outstation. Reviews of the airline Spanair are generally not very favourable.
Staff and service are notorious variable, and on some of the once a day routes technical delays can rack up for many hours. It is notoriously oddball, offering things like an economy class fare (Y class) which it will upgrade at the gate, unless there are too many customers. Inverse seating, ancient planes, boarding from the rear "tail" gate under the engines, and an early-closing bar, do not endear it to many passengers.
Known as "The Flying Spanner" by many European flyers, this is the smaller, Star Alliance version of a Spanish Airline. Pretty obscure by world standards, its hard to get onboard this airline without deliberately seeking some of its odder outposts. It is smaller as bmi - and that's saying something - the airline has always considered, but rejected flying to London, even after bmi pulled out of all it's Spanish routes, leaving Oneworld unchallenged between two of the larger capitals in Europe.
All in all, it's tired, worn, charter airline with some moderately OK scheduled services.
Ibiza a Spanair MD-82 rests in the midday sunshine
Spanair has signed an agreement with the European company Airbus to renew and increase the fleet, to build up to a
Barcelona Spanair MD83 and A320
Spanair have scrapped all their Boeing 767s, as they have also scrapped their Trans-Atlantic charter flights, and all of Spanair's old Fokker 100s have thankfully followed them to the scrapyard.
Dublin Spanair A321
Spanair A320 business class cabin
The Business Class seat is identical to the economy seat, both in pitch and in width, however if you are in business, and sit on the left, the centre seat is blocked off and the seat arms moved across to give a larger seat - accordingly it is well worth asking to sit in A or C in business. Seat pitch is 32 inches. All models have large 14 inch fold down LCD TV screen under the overhead lockers for both classes.
Barcelona Spanair A320
There are 17 A320 (although this number is rapidly increasing) which seat 144, with the variable business class seats extending back as far as row 20, although in normal configuration they are only used with the first 3 rows as business class. Row 9 and row 10 are overwing emergency exits - if you ask to sit here, you will get 2 inches more legroom.
There are only 5 of the larger A321 which seat 181 and are comfortable and modern. Service can be a bit slow, with only a single isle for service. There are no overwing emergency exits, but there is a proper door at row 9 and row 23, so you can as much legroom as you want if you sit in the row behind it, however you do not get an sort of window, and you are seated next to a member of the cabin crew (in seat D). Row 6 also has a blanker at the window, so is to be avoided. This model has some of the largest loos on an Airbus, with 3 in a cluster at the back.
Stockholm Arlanda Spanair MD-82
of these noisy, bumpy things. The MD-82 Has two seats on the left of the aircraft, three on the right - so you're better off in seats A and B. There's a wacky formation with the galley halfway up the aircraft on the left - sit just behind it to get more legroom but a bad view.
Spanair MD-82 economy seat
Spanair MD-87 deplaneing via the rear door
Even more unusual are the miniture drop down LCD TV screens in the ceiling. They are one and a quarter inch square - and are so small you can't really see what's on them
There is more room in rows 17 & 16. 16 has the best view. 17 is bigger, but is by the emergency exit over the wing.
The MD-87s have a rear centre drop down boarding stair, between the two engines. Spanair is virtually the only operator to still use this for boarding.
The 717 was originally developed by Mcdonald Douglas as their newest of their family of rear engined jets. When Boeing took over, it was the only one that the company continued to develop. The rear engines mean they are superbly quiet in flight, and the view from the cabin is unimpeded by jetwash. There are only two doors to the cabin, right at the front, with a strange rear 'tube' emergency exit.
Barcelona Spanair Boeing 717
Spanair have just 4 of the new versions of these, ordered before the plane was cancelled. Seats are in a formation with 2 on the left, 3 on the right.
Always ask for the overwing emergency exit seat on the left, seats 16A or 15A (for preference, as its slightly further away from the wing, so the view is better). Seat pitch here comes in at 40 inches, so you can really stretch out. However staff don't like seating anyone here unless the plane is full, and you get your own safety briefing, on how to open the window like exit.
Spanair A320 at Madrid
Spanair A320 at Stockholm Arlanda
In Business there are certainly fewer frills than you'd expect. After takeoff a small basket is handed around with wetwipes - and that's about it. Then the food comes round (except on domestic hops) on one complete tray, and your drink order is taken. The crew are often tardy with drinks, and there is usually only one service. If you want any more, you have to ask. The crew will normally keep their distance from you. As a result, if you want a drink, ring the bell.
In Economy you really notice that you are on a no-frills carrier. There is no free food or drink, but even more disturbingly you will find that on most flights there is none are on offer unless you request it. You have to ring the service bell. This is all part of Spanair's regime of keeping it's distance from the passenger. The service then is very leisurely, where the crew will take your order, then wander back with it. The whole process takes so long you should ring the bell early in the flight if you want something to eat or drink.
Spanair Headphones
MD87 Entertainment Controls
Films are shown on overhead flip-down LCDs screens on the A320s - and also, oddly, on very old tiny screens on the MD87s. Headphones are of a regular overhead band type, and single mini jack, on the Airbus. In the MD-87 they are of the 1960s speaking tube type.
There is only one film - it's listing and review is in the back of the Spanorama magazine - but there are also (unannounced and unadvertised) ten music channels. You can select them with the channel selector in the armrest.
Spanorama Spanair's inflight magazine
The magazine starts with an introduction from the Presidente De Spanair. Whoever oked his introductory item in the mag deserves to be put up against the wall, and taught good PR. Needless to say, it is not a good read.
However it soon improves. There is the obligatory article on soon to be seen events at locations around the Spanair world. There is a dull seconded article with some minor celebrity, and a regular feature on good books and films. Then there are mind-numbingly dull articles on travel, written by people who were obviously not checked before they were sent the cheque. The terminal of El Prat airport doesn't exactly smack of romance, but according to some of these people it does. Airports are famously rubbish places for learning about a country: big and anonymous, there's no room for what's been, only what's coming next. It's one big Hello and Goodbye factory, pairing and parting people the length of it's production line. But not according to these writers. They rave about the experience of a Spanair flight to somewhere dull, telling you nothing except that they got a good coffee. Oh dear.
It gets worse. In the "Spanair - on board" section, you get to learn about the latest ISO certificates for Spanair, with big smiling photos of - yes, that chap again - the Presidente. There are also fascinating articles that tell you that Spanair has entered the age when you can book flights online, as if they invented it.
Finally in the last few pages are brief reviews of the films on board, and long lists of which charter flights they can be seen on. Down the bottom is a brief mention that on "regular" flights there is also a film. At the back are a couple of route maps, and on the last page the menu for those in the cheap seats.
The main hub is at Madrid. There is a shuttle every half hour from Madrid to Barcelona. There is a smaller hub at Barcelona.
Barcelona Spanair MD-82
From Madrid there are flights to Palma Mallorca seven times a day, Ibiza four times a day, to Gran Canaria (Las Palmas) six a day, five a day to Tenerife North, and once to Tenerife South, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote. Medium haul there is Madrid to Copenhagen once a day in an A320 at 1105, arrives 1420 (returns at 1720 arrives 2035). There is also an SAS codeshare at almost exactly opposite times. Madrid to Stockholm once a day in an A320 at 2130, returning at 0805.
|Airline schedules change regularly.
|This information is intended as a guide, but for up to the minute timetables, please consult Spanair.
From Barcelona there are flights to Majorca five times a day, Ibiza four times a day, to Gran Canaria (Las Palmas) twice a day, and once a day to Tenerife North, and once to Tenerife South. Medium haul theres Barcelona to Copehagen twice a day in an A320 at 1035 and 1825 (returning at 1430 and 0925) and to Stockholm at 1035, returning at 1500.
There are no services to London LHR - even the codeshare has been dropped now bmi has abandoned the route.

Madrid Spanair lounge
The Spanair lounge at Madrid has it's advantages (it's a small, obscure airline, so not many Business passengers) and disadvantages (poor food).
Upstairs Bar Area lounge at Madrid
You enter through the sliding doors straight after security - but note that the lounge is itself in the Schengen area. There are two main areas to the lounge; "on top", where there is a TV and computer area, and downstairs, where there is an OK view of a couple of gates, but not of the main apron.
Downstairs Bar Area lounge at Madrid
There are two bars, one in the corridor behind the reception desk, and one big long one downstairs, with two big fridges. Beer is strictly Heiniken, plus the usual miniature cans of soft drinks, and the strange Spanish "Bucklers Sin". There is no Bloody Mary mix, just a jug of Tomato juice, and one of orange. On top, above the coffee machine (if using this, note there are only small cups - so forget getting a Capochino), there are the spirits, with Bacardi, Baileys, Finlanda vodka, a bland whiskey, and a gin. Also on this shelf are two bottles of red. In the fridge are two bottles of white wine, and (only in the fridge by the window) a bottle of sparkling Cava.
Upstairs Seats lounge at Madrid
Food is very poor in this lounge. There are some olives and apples in a bowl on the shelf opposite the bar by reception, a few pastries, some biscuits, and that's about it. It is one of the few lounges where you can see people bringing in MacDonalds bags.
Newspapers are by contrast very good. There are all the Spanish dailies, the European FT, the UK Guardian and the UK Times. There are some American papers like USA Today, and the International Herald, plus a very good rack of all the German papers.
Barcelona Spanair lounge
There is all of one Computer, which has Internet access, but is appallingly slow. The lounge does however have WiFi access, and there are desks (at the far end of "on top") with spaces for 4 computers. There is also a TV and a HiFi (with stern notices about not disturbing other users of the lounge).
Barcelona Spanair lounge
There are two bar areas: the main one is right opposite the main desk: here there are the spirits, although a pretty motley collection they are. on the inside of the upper deck there is another bar. Both have the wine selection - which consists of only one red, one white, one Cava. There is also Heiniken in & Bucklers Sin beer in the fridge. Spirits are by the door - where the lounge dragon can keep an eye on them. There's Baileys, Bacardi, Bombay Gin, Martini, two whiskys, and an unknown type of Vodka. Above them are some very nice models of Spanair 767s - a type of plane Spanair no longer flies. To the left is a very good coffee machine. There are jugs of Tomato and Orange juice on the worktop.
Barcelona Spanair lounge bar by door
There is little food: there are bowls of biscuits, and a huge tub of olives, but that´s about it.
Barcelona El Prat Spanair lounge
There is only 1 computer, and two other work desks (where kids tend to hang out & annoy you when you are on the computer) but that's about it.
It initially had a "fleat" of clapped out Macdonnal Douglas rear-engined planed, but splashed out on a Boeing 767-300 aircraft in 1991, to start long-haul flights to the Washington, Buenos Aires, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. These were axed in 2001. A domestic scheduled operation started in 1994. Spanair joined Star Alliance in 2003.

Economy is just that (M Class). There are no frills and you pay for your food. Business (C Class) comes with all the business class perks (no free food in domestic), the middle seat is guaranteed free, and it's fully flexible. It is Avant option that's the interesting one, and for which there is little advertising.
In Avant (Y class), you pay economy, but with a small extra fee you get a "free" upgrade to business, while still keeping your economy class status. It is commonly called a Y-UP or Y-Upgrade fare, and tickets in this class maintain their economy class inflexibility, if that's what you've chosen. There are actually two variants of Y-UP Economy class Avant - Flexible, and SuperFlexible, with differing restrictions. If business class sells out you will be downgraded, without compensation, but this rarely happens.
Ibiza Spanair MD-82
In Avant you can use the Business class check-in counters up to 30 minutes before your flight, you can enjoy the Spanair VIP Lounges in Madrid, Bilbao and Barcelona, and you normally fly Business Avant Class with free newspaper and special catering.
Barcelona Spanair MD-82
The price (including taxes) of Avant is 24 for Spanish and Balearic Islands flights, 34 for Canary Islands, and 69 international, per trip (one way). It is not available on codeshares, or where your ticket is only partially made up of Spanair flights. You only earn frequent flyer points at 150%, not the 300% of full business class, but its better than the 25% of economy.
To start with, make sure you are a frequent flyer, and you do fly frequently: after all, if Spanair are going to upgrade anyone, they will upgrade those passengers who fly with them pretty regularly, and hence will enjoy the upgrade enough to put more business Spanair's way. Then if the flight is full in economy, and someone needs to be moved up, the check in staff will first look at their own elite members, then at other Star Alliance members at the equivalent levels (Gold, and then Silver). Another thing that Spanair look at is how much you paid for your ticket: it's much more likely to happen with a full fare ticket (although occasionally you can get lucky with a discounted economy ticket).
On Spanair there is also another route for upgrading - buying the Y-UP ticket class, where most of the time, but not always, you will be upgraded.
As always, my advice on dressing properly in the pages on how to get an upgrade applies.

Our Kids are Cute so We Won't Kill Them
This theory of mine was put to good test recently by Offspring. She was courting imminent demise by neglecting to tell me about (or to even attempt to begin) the Science Fair project that she's known about for over a month. Apparently, her teacher had decided to team three or four students together to do projects, and Offspring and her "team" hemmed and hawed over even choosing a project, much less doing actual WORK on said project.
Offspring decides to ask me for help in cobbling together some sort of project that she can turn in -- this is on a Monday. The project (which includes the "project", a research paper, a display board, and a logbook that the students were supposed to be keeping for the past month, detailing their experiments and their progress.) is due on Wednesday morning.
This is when the red haze descended over my eyes, and I sorta blacked out for a while. I probably broke at least 1 commandment during this time. I know I broke my Lenten vow to give up cursing.
After my tirade, I grounded Offspring, and then headed out to find some supplies we needed. The project got done in the end. I just wonder what grade we....uh, I mean, *she* got.

Aw, man. I remember doing this to my mother. It was all about leaves. What a nightmare!
- ccw said...
So sorry! Kid L does this a lot; it makes me crazy.
- KLee said...
You know -- I thought I had made the impression on her the LAST time that she tried to pull a stunt like this that it wasn't gonna fly. I guess I wasn't forceful enough. I don't think she'll forget it after THIS incident.
Now I'm curious as to what grade she actually got. And ticked that the other two on her team did absolutely zilch.
- purple_kangaroo said...
Awww, hugs. I sometimes wonder, when I run into situations like that, how I will handle them.
- halloweenlover said...
Oh no!!! I'm sure I've done this to my mom a time or two. You are such a good mom to help her!!!
- KLee said...
Well, she got her grade back on the project today. She got an 85, which isn't the greatest grade I've ever seen her make.
I'm torn about it. Glad that she didn't fail, and mad that the grade was decent enough that she will probably not suffer any consequences because of it.
I want her to do well in school, and a large part of that is being a self-starter. It's frustrating that she wasn't more prepared about this project, and really galling for me because I'm given a hard choice: help her, and teach her that mom and dad will rescue her when she's lazy; or not help her, and let her fail when there's something I could have done to help her.
Either choice is bad, and the situation is really just enough to make me grind my teeth.
- jo(e) said...
Yeah, that is always a tough call. Sometimes I'll step in and help my kid -- especially when part of the problem is that the teacher gave an unclear assignment or something over his head. Other times, I will step back and let the kid crash and burn and accept the consequences.

This morning I was coaching a client with ADD and she had the neatest breakthrough that I thought you might like. In my ADD coaching training I learned about a phenomenon called "Completion Chemistry."
Essentially it means that many people, especially those of us with ADD, are more motivated to work on a task when we need to FIND something. For example, we may hate to file or put things away while we are in midst of doing other far more interested things. But when we really need to find something, we get a burst of adrenaline for the "hunt".
My client was teeling me about her successes of the week and mentioned how she had needed to find something in the box of papers she had gathered up while organizing last week. The box had been sitting there for days and she had had no motivation to work on it. Suddenly when she needed something in that box, she got a burst of "energy" and become motivated to finally sort out some of the papers in that box.
What a perfect example of "Completion Chemistry"! I let her what a great strategy that was and explained how she could use it more often and she LOVED it!!! She felt so validated that she already had an effective strategy and now she could consciously work with it and harness it more often - without feeling guilty about the time she let pass before she got around to organizing the box.
She even came up with her own name for the strategy - "Riding the Wave"
We talked about other ways she could apply this and came up with the idea of using the energy of a deadline to help her "activate" for other tasks by leaving extra time before the deadline and she is goign to try this...instead of seeing the task of having to take her daughter to a 4:30 appt every day as an interruption, she is going to start getting ready to go an hour before use that hour to "scan" the first floor and do any little tasks that need doing, like sort the mail, return a couple calls, put things away etc.
I'm leaving at 5:00 tonite to go to the regional NAPO conference in Washington DC so I'm going to ride my adrenaline wave to get packed and ready to go and then answer as many emails as I can, return calls, and tie up other "loose ends" as FAST as possible!
How do you "ride the wave of completion chemistry" in your daily life? What new situations can you apply this concept to?

Pain Management for Carpal Tunnel:
Chiropractic pain management extends beyond treatment for spinal injuries and daily strains that occur from personal injury accidents and tensions in the body. Boston Spine Clinics is available to provide a wide range of chiropractic services to assist and rehabilitate patients in all areas of their wellness care, to correct alignments, ease stress and alleviate pain and treat the affects from carpal tunnel syndrome.
The Carpal Tunnel refers to the actual tunnel that forms via the Transverse Carpal Ligament that passes over the major blood vessels and nerves inside the wrist. That ligament holds everything in place basically. See picture above. When that ligament is damaged or for some reason becomes too thick; compression can occur on the nerves and/or blood vessels in the wrist and hence; pain and/or numbness can occur in the hand after the fact.
By serving as a main facility for chiropractic care in the Boston and Everett areas, the treatment plan from a chiropractor isn't limited to one area alone, as an injury or stress to one area of the body can contribute to the pain and ailments elsewhere. With regards to carpal tunnel, the methods of rehabilitation require much of the same treatments for pain management. Chiropractic treatments such as manipulation and trigger point therapy can help increase the range of motion and mobility in hands and wrists to increase comfort and usability. As well, nerve compression can often be relieved. See below:
Massage therapy as part of the treatment plan provides additional benefits for those suffering from soreness, pain and serious limitations to their hand and wrist capabilities due to carpal tunnel. Stiffness that causes such pain can be relieved and circulation can be increased for more efficient dexterity and increased overall wellness.
Typically, when the plan of treatment and therapeutic exercises are maintained on a consistent basis, this can serve as an alternative to surgery. Fortunately, Boston patients suffering from carpal tunnel can rest assured that their symptoms and the care for their condition will be carefully monitored and treated so that full healing and recovery can be achieved.
Massage therapy and other chiropractic techniques can help to intensify strengthening, ease joints and increase range of motion after it's been impaired by carpal tunnel. Boston and Everett residents can receive a chiropractic evaluation to determine the seriousness of their injuries so that a full treatment plan can be enforced as an alternative to surgery.
Chiropractic Care Provides Rehabilitative Alternative
Surgery can create anxiety and effects unplanned for by a patient. When determining the best route for care, it is important for each patient to understand their recovery time and what methods of practice are needed for rehabilitation. Carpal tunnel affects everyday life and without proper attention to pain management and future damage to the nerves and bones of the hands and wrists, the condition only worsens. Therefore, it is necessary to seek chiropractic guidance to implement exercises for treatment and prevention of further strain to the body.
When all aspects of the problem are explored, including the bones, tendons and triggering factors, the chiropractor's evaluation can ensure that every treatment is providing the ultimate quality of care that has been individualized for each patient depending on their symptoms and injuries. Pain from carpal tunnel can interrupt mobility and impact daily life. With the proper care and intensive chiropractic treatment, surgery can be avoided in some cases and daily functioning at a comfortable level can be restored.

"It looks like a sacred heart," I said as I took a photograph for facebook. I was in the Philippines, on a bus in Palawan with my partner. It was the late Winter of 2012, and we were en route to Puerto Princesa. We were, as was normal, eating mangos (more…)Read More

Several years ago, my Nice Dad married a farmer. It was really considerate of him, don't you think? Marrying to suit my food-nerd-side-hobby--what a guy!
I kid, of course. But he did choose well. Because in addition to being a pretty great Step-Mom and a very fun Grandma, my Nice Step-Mom is now running her family's farm.
Actually, they call it "the ranch". In the Midwest, that would mean cows, but Nice Step-Mom primarily grows rice and prunes. (The differences in terminology would make an interesting study by themselves--in the Midwest, it's a "combine", in California, it's a "harvester", and so on.)
Although, the rice fields were in the process of drying out while we were there, Nice Step-Mom estimated they wouldn't be ready to harvest for several weeks. Because of the odd weather this year, we did manage to end up visiting right in the middle of prune harvest however.
(And speaking of terms, I've been told that the fruits Nice Step-Mom grows are always "prunes". In their undried state, they are correctly referred to as "fresh prunes", but they are never "plums".)
I don't know why I expected it to be complicated, but I was surprised at how low-tech the process of harvesting prunes is. The machine in the picture comes along and shakes each tree. All the prunes that fall down are caught by the panels on the side, and funneled down into a big wooden crate that rides on the back. When the crate gets full, it's dropped off right there in the orchard for later pick-up.
The smell of the orchard--which was, I think, a combination of the harvested prunes as well as some of the rotting windfalls laying under the trees--was incredible. It was just ever so slightly wine-like. I tried to resist the urge to sniff the fruit on the trees, but it couldn't be helped.
A few days later, Nice Step-Mom took us out to the Sunsweet drying facility to see how the fresh prunes are made into what you buy at the store. Again, surprisingly low-tech. Although there's some washing and sorting involved, it was basically just a much larger scale of my little home dehydrator.
The fresh prunes are popped onto these tall wooden trays, and dried at 180 degrees in huge "tunnels". I sampled a hot prune fresh out of the dryer. The inside wasn't solid at all, but rather had transformed into a gooey and sweet and sticky paste...it was like the wild--and maybe even slightly naughty--cousin of a cooled prune.
And because they sort by farm at this stage, we were also able to try some of Nice Step-Mom's prunes. I had to limit myself to just a few, but I could have kept snacking much longer!
Even the Kiddo got in on the fun. He enjoyed a little pureed prune later too, but he spent several minutes fascinated by the texture of a whole prune we let him play with.

Eric was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. In the summer of 1995, while on a fishing trip with his father, Eric made a small bark canoe, from a fallen piece of bark. Hence began a career of building birch bark canoes.
In 1996, he moved to Ely, Minnesota, to run a resort and build full-size canoes. His first full size canoe was built in the summer of 1996. Eric began building bark canoes full time, the winter of 1996/1997.
In addition to bark canoes, Eric also builds Kayaks, snowshoes, decorated paddles, baskets, snowsticks, rustic furniture and other traditional art crafts of the past. All pieces are made completely by hand, using traditional tools and methods, and are made to order.
Eric's work can be found at Bare Bones Studio, Ely, MN or the Museum Store at the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul, MN.

Dining on desert delights offers a menu far different from what you'll find at most five-star eateries. For centuries, indigenous people of northern Sonora subsisted on an array of traditional desert dishes ranging from nopales and chile posole to mesquite crepes and acorn soup. Today, several award-winning Native American chefs are out to transform these traditional—and traditionally healthy—foods into an array of delicious dishes ready for both five-star restaurants and at-home cooks.
"You put 'healthy' in front of 'cooking' and it can scare some people away, but native dishes are not only delicious, they're also good for you," said Navajo chef Freddie Bitsoie, who hails from the Four Corners region and is known as a crusader in the cause of redefining Native American cuisine. "The stereotype is that healthy cooking frequently ends up with bland, boring, tasteless dishes. Not true. Native American cooking results in delicious foods and when you add the unintended health benefits, selling the concept gets even easier."
Many health practitioners subscribe to the theory that our cupboard can act as medicine cabinet, with traditional foods providing a solution to a lot of what ails us. "Our desert terrain is both a supermarket and a pharmacy," said Carolyn Niethammer, the author of American Indian Cooking.
Bitsoie, who lectures on healthy cooking in places like the Mayo Clinic, likes to use organic native ingredients. Garbed in a starched chef's apron at a Phoenix cooking demonstration, he introduced his menu—Sonoran Three Sisters Salad of tepary beans, acorn squash, corn, and cholla cactus buds, accompanied by a corn chowder with green chiles, followed by a juniper berry and sage-rubbed Navajo lamb dressed in a sumac sauce. "Calling it [just] Native American fare is not fair," Bitsoie said, "because food is a product of culture and all native cultures are different in preference and preparation. I strive to prepare dishes that elders can taste and recognize as a dish they have had most of their lives."
In November, several of Bitsoie's culinary cohorts competed in a Chef's Challenge held at the Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson, where the defending title holder, Nephi Craig, executive chef at the White Mountain Apache tribe's Sunrise Park Resort, noted, "Native people are emerging from a great interruption in traditional foodways. Precontact, we were expert hunters, gatherers, fishermen, farmers, and cooks. Then came the reservations with high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods and a turn away from the most important ingredient in Native cuisine: healing. Native foods are not a trend—they are a way to recover our communities."
Craig walks his talk as founder of the Native American Culinary Association, or NACA, which is dedicated to the research, refinement, and development of Native American cuisine.
"Everything is back to our roots for me," Craig said. "It's indigenous principles of community, leadership, fatherhood, and hard work—the kinds of things that embody my life. My home in the White Mountains offers lots of opportunity for traditional cooking. The western Apache demographic covers everything from desert terrain up to 10,000 feet, so we've got an abundance of both wild and cultivated edibles to select from."
Now supervising an all-Apache staff of 14 cooks and 14 waiters at his resort, Craig has been intrigued by the hands-on cooking experience since he was a child. "Food is very powerful," he said, "and I've been given an opportunity to weave a very intricate traditional pattern of my people, Apaches and Navajo."
Although he was trained in classical French methods, something was missing for him. "We used a lot of local ingredients—acorns, seeds, nuts, corn, squash, rabbit, venison—that I recognized as part of indigenous culinary history, but prepared in French style," he told a Newsweek reporter. "But something was missing and as I got better as a chef, I began to think about using my skills to showcase my own people's culinary ways." It was a decision that started him down the path of rediscovery of indigenous edibles, using traditional ingredients to prepare haute cuisine and putting him in the vanguard of Native American chefs.
Indeed, Craig is now cooking alongside such chefs as Ron Dimas, the 2013 Chef's Challenge winner. Dimas took top honors with his Broken Arrow Ranch Venison Loin with a liver and heart ragout, roasted butternut squash purée, and mesquite flour crepes.
"I create menus that focus on naturally raised meats, environmentally responsible seafood, and locally grown produce," he said. "I support the movement toward more traditional food preparation because I'm afraid of losing it. Traditional cooking is so natural because it's all connected to the earth. Trends are cyclical. [For example] 15 years ago everything was about spa food, and 10 years before that, everything centered around butter and cream. I think we're headed back into another healthy food phase, perhaps spurred by growing medical concerns. But whatever the reason, I welcome the direction we're headed in."
While Dimas won the judges' hearts, the Casino Del Sol executive sous chef, Enrique Alcantar, won the thanks and votes of diners with a People's Choice Award for his Braised Buffalo and White Tepary Bean Cassoulet.
"With a native foods focus, I decided to go with lean and healthy buffalo short ribs and tepary beans that have been a diet staple for thousands of years—traditional foods cooked in contemporary style," Alcantar said. The 25-year-veteran five-star cook also appeased attendee appetites with a chef's surprise, an opera cake made with smokehouse almond flour and topped with a ganache of aged whiskey.
Fellow local skillet wizard Pascual Rodriguez, a 26-year kitchen magician now performing as executive chef at Desert Diamond Casino, is another supporter of traditional cooking methods. "I try to use traditional foods wherever I can because that type of cooking is a standard. There's nothing uniquely original here; you just combine flavors to make it your own version by using colors and garnish—you trick it out here and there to make a nice appearance match a good taste."
There are lots of ignition points to fire up this return to tradition. One of the best known names in Native American cuisine, former PGA golfer-turned-entrepreneur-turned-philanthropist Notah Begay III, is one of those ignition points, as the founder of KivaSun Foods, a seller of lean and healthier bison meat. "If we don't start making changes in our lifestyles, life spans will continue to get shorter," he said.
Lois Ellen Frank is a part-Kiowa chef-scholar based in Santa Fe and the author of Foods of the Southwest Indian Nations. Frank admits that identifying Indian food as such is confusing, because there are as many variations on a theme as there are tribes—over 500 of them federally-recognized, 22 of which are in Arizona. In her book, she writes that traditional cooking feeds the body wholesome food, which is akin to feeding the soul.
Frank, like many chefs, gathers natural ingredients from the land—prickly pear, yucca blossoms, purslane, and other wild edible greens—that she uses in her culinary creations. As the founder of the Coyote Café, she bridges historical with modern in creations such as an ordinary blue corn tortilla complemented by blue corn gnocchi arrowheads and guajillo chili sauce. She partners her Piñon Chile Bean recipe with warm frybread and Navajo zucchini potato soup and what she calls "prairie butter" (buffalo bone marrow).
"Food is sacred," she said. "What you eat is a gift of a person's culture. It has love. It has thought. It has prayer." ✜

Hello Cyl,
If you followed the instructions above it should only show on the specific pages you selected. Anything else is not default behavior. For that, you may want to check with the Joomla forums for your version to see if someone has had the same issue.
Kindest Regards,

what if there is no 'home' entry in the main_menu?

Hello Paul,
Thanks for the question. If you're not seeing HOME, then you probably have a different page set as your home page. The Joomla documentation goes over the details for the Menu Manager edit section if you require further information. If you do not have a page named HOME, then choose the page that represents your HOME page for this section.
I hope this helps to clear up the issue. Please let us know if you have any further questions or comments.

Be an Angel – A Facility Angel
We don't just do ministry at Owasso First United Methodist Church we also plan and work towards the future of ministry in this facility. The plan involves a lot of people working together to make this, "A Great Place to Do Ministry." Here are our guiding values.
- Attractiveness: All our facilities should be attractive to others. When we and others look at them, we want the response to be, "Isn't that attractive." If it's not, we need to improve until that is the response.
- Functional: This simply means everything works. If it doesn't work we fix it as expeditiously as possible. If it can't be fixed we remove it or at least attempt to make it less obvious.
- Effective and Frugal: With a mind to long term return on investment we seek to operate the facility in a manner that maximizes the cost benefit ratio. This requires a system of routine maintenance and planning for replacement of equipment as it ages out. We also seek to operate with the least possible impact on the environment. We will make every attempt to effectively use volunteer help where feasible regarding skill and time constraints. This will include a group of "advisors" to help guide the process and set priorities.
So here is how you can help. When you see anything that is not attractive, not functioning, or not the best use of our facility, please let us know? You can do this by filling out the form below, or contacting the church office. Thanks for your help. When we all work together the result is always bigger than the sum of the individual parts.
If you would like to help on specific projects from time to time please contact David Hairston or Richard Whetsell at the church office. We will be glad to add you to our list of Facility Angels.
All of the church thermostats are programed according to the schedule use of the church facilities. Normal setting while a room is in use are 70 degrees for heat and 75 degrees for cooling. You can change those setting by pressing the up or down buttons on the thermostat. When a room is schedule to be unused, the settings are 60 degrees for heat and 85 degrees for cooling. These settings help us to hold down our utility expense. If you choose to use a room that is unscheduled, just use the up and down buttons to change the setting to what you like. You should be able to set the thermostat to any temperature between 65 and 80 degrees.
Church Calendar
How do you get an event on the church calendar? The most direct way is to fill out the form in the rack inside the Office door. You can also call Susan at the church office, or talk to a staff member who can add your event to the calendar.
When scheduling an event, please think about who people should contact if they have questions. You should also think about preparation and clean up time. In addition to the time of the event, you need to reserve the room you are using for the preparation time or clean up time after the event. You can also schedule events which need to be on the calendar even though they are not occurring in this facility. Mission trips, school schedules, District and Annual Conference events would fall in this category.

And although it has always been the preserve of Fashion to shock and set flash trends, the inclusion of a new muse at Thierry Mugler is arresting and oddly beautiful. Tattoos have long been completely absorbed into the mainstream, but not like this...
Perhaps because the tattoo has a coherence of harmony and logic, and is almost poetic in its state of paradox: the inside, outside; the death vision on the life vision; the freshness of youth offset by a caricature of wormy decaying death... Somehow, it can be categorized as Beauty. Obviously not when he is pushing 40 and beyond (yawn yes yes we all know that) but for now, it is clear that "Zombie Boy" as he likes to be known, is getting mileage out of his creation. As WWD quips,
"Tattooing yourself to resemble a rotting corpse — complete with blackened eye sockets and insects crawling over your exposed brain — probably ranks low on the list of things a young man can do to attract attention from girls. Yet it seems to be working wonders."
It is impossible to mention him without citing his sponsor Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj - all portray a strangely post feminist version of Beauty. Fronting cosmetic campaigns [MAC/ OPI], they exude an equal parts mocking and desperate attitude towards Beauty. It might have started off as fun, now invariably appears horribly laboured.
Hip Hop and other music videos relish the exaggerated versions of money and ahem, 'hoes' - and the female pop stars play along, perhaps as a route to being empowered by what is essentially misogyny (much like the 'N word' has been adopted and turned into a term of endearment.) Lyrics that are saturated with far from witty double entendres pepper their pop songs, and they deliberately choose skimpy clothes and scandalous poses. All very tedious and staged.
It is always a struggle to create a modern, beautiful and arresting campaign - and although androgyny is old hat, the formula has been pushed to now include men playing the role of women: Lea T, a transexual model, and Andrej Pejic, a very feminised male model, both setting a new trend (pictured respectively below.) This article disregards these innovations,
"Of course, in fashion, things can always get stranger, but they rarely do anymore. Nudity, androgyny, sado-masochistic fantasies, an overtly gay sensibility — all these ideas have been expressed for years."
Individuality is prized to the point where it is ironically used to set off a cult (I believe Gaga calls her followers monsters?) and polished self-images mean tabloids thrive most when a celebrity can have a red circle or arrow drawn to alert the reader to their every flaw.
Is it a sign of freedom and advancement that there are these constant attempts to redefine beauty, even if it driven by a publicity campaign...? Or is it merely Plus ça change...

There are so many supplements on the market today that one could quickly get confused as to which one they should take and which they shouldn't. If you also fall into the same category, then https://ods.od.nih.gov can clear all your doubts. If you are still not sure, then Go Here or read on to find out about the ten rules that every person needs to follow before starting any supplement that looks tempting.
1. Know the reason: The first and foremost thing that you need to do before starting a supplement is to know why you want to take it. People don't take health supplements until and unless they are deficient in that particular vitamin or mineral. So, remember your reason before you take the first step.
2. Do your work: You need to take some time and decide if you want to take up this supplement or not. You may have to do some research about it, check out reviews and take first-hand feedback about the product. Most dietary supplements could be drugs sold under this name, be aware of it.
3. Start small: Just because you are an adult and have the money to purchase the supplement does not mean that you should start with the adult dosage from day one. Its always better to start with children's dosage in order to test the product for any allergic reaction on your body. If you are comfortable, then you can increase the dosage as needed.
4. Decide on the period: Supplements are recommended only for a particular period of time and so decide on that duration before you start the course.
5. Generic or Patented: Go for a generic supplement which will also be cheaper than the patented versions.
6. Quality is Important: Though no supplement is a hundred percent herbal or ideal, hence you need to look into different quality factors before closing in on the supplement that you need to take.
7. Blood Tests: Blood tests are not required before you take most of the supplements even though they may recommend that to you.
8. Collaborate: You need to have a proper collaboration with your pharmacist and doctor to make sure that you are getting the best possible supplement that will be suitable for your body.
9. Take After Food: Most of the supplements have to be consumed after food until and unless it is specified otherwise. In some case, there may be a recommendation to take it with milk as well.
10. Taking too much: Intake of supplements has a positive effect on your health, yes, but they also take a toll on the liver which has to metabolize all the ingredients. So, never take too much of the supplements even if it is recommended.
If you follow all these tips given above, then you can be sure that you are taking the right supplement and that too in a quantity that will not harm you in any way. So take that supplement that you have been yearning for so long and reap the benefits!

Boat Review by: Matt Spencer
The 18-foot aluminum fishing boat is probably the most competitive segment in the fishing industry. It's that perfect size that you can take on big and small water alike, you don't need a big truck to trailer it and you can fish for any species in it. You can spend a lot of money on a boat of this size or you can try to save some money but you'll find if you don't go with the right brand you're going to have to make some compromises.
Starcraft Marine is trying to stand out from the pack with the introduction of a brand new model for 2016 with the Titan 186. An 18 and a half foot multi-species boat - the Titan 186 offers some of the best value in its segment. It also has some pretty spectacular performance as I found out when I got my hands on it at the Evinrude launch of their brand new 150-hp G2 Outboard, but more on that later…
If you look at Starcraft's complete line of fishing boats on their website you will see they are listed with the most hardcore boats at the top - so the smaller, side console and tiller style boats for the casual angler located at the bottom of the list. Sitting pretty right in the middle is the Titan 186.
I say sitting pretty because it actually is! For 2016 Starcraft gave all of their fishing boats a facelift, introducing a new graphics package to modernize their time proven running surface. When you have your running surface dialed in there is no need to change it, but you should update the exterior and that's what they did with a sharp two tone side panel. This Titan 186 had all white side panels with a black top deck, hull and stern. Matching this was the 150-hp G2. It had white side and top panels with black accents. Part of the appeal of the G2, aside from the many benefits that we will discuss soon, is that you can colour match your boat. Gone are the days of being loyal to one colour for your brand identity. It doesn't matter what colour it is - you know an Evinrude G2 when you're looking at it!
With a 99 inch beam the Titan 186 has an impressive footprint, giving you plenty of usable space inside the boat. Whether you are a weekend warrior or on the tournament circuit you are not going to have to make any compromises with this boat. Right away you will notice the large side decks on the Titan. This will help you if you need to step down into the boat but also it's a great spot to mount the optional tracking system where you can add in Bert's Custom Tackle accessories direct from the factory.
There are coaming bolsters and there is open storage in the gunnels. The rear casting platform can be used for exactly that, but it's also home to the 25-gallon livewell - one of two in the boat! When it's time to put the rods away and head out for a cruise, two jump seats fold out of the casting deck. You will find drink holders here and even a ski-tow mount. The Titan 186 is not a one trick pony! It's ready for anything and even has drink holders by the jump seats. 3 fishing seats come standard with the Titan 186. There are 4 bases in the cockpit floor, one in the rear casting platform and one in the bow, so you can move these seats around depending on your fishing style. Something that it's always focused on is that Starcraft makes all of their seats in house. This is nice because you know they can repair or update your seats should you find the need.
The Titan 186 features a full windshield with dual consoles. The consoles feature modern styling with a brushed metal look but also offer plenty of functionality. On the port side you will find a large "glove box" and directly below that is built in Plano tackle storage. The helm features a large blank space to flush mount your favourite fishing graph but there's also room to mount more with the proper extension arm. There is a double row of rocker switches, gauges and AM/FM stereo with bluetooth and AUX input.
You will be able to stow and lock up 5 of your rods in the in floor storage, or you can just put them away when it's time to take the kids tubing. That's because there are bow cushions available with padded backrests with built in drink holders in the bow. While this is a serious fishing boat, I think you are starting to see that it's able to pull double duty and can be a versatile family package.
There is two storage compartments in the bow, a seat base like I mentioned earlier and an 18-gallon livewell. It's tough to find boats in the 18-foot category that have multiple livewells, especially ones that big!
The boat is pre-rigged to install a trolling motor and I recommend to get the "Power Pack Upgrade" straight from the factory which gives you a trolling motor along with a Humminbird graph along with many others.
Now I mentioned that I got to test this boat at the Evinrude launch of the new 150-hp E-Tec G2. For 2016 Evinrude has expanded their G2 line of outboards from 200 High Output down to a 150-hp. The 150-hp outboard is the jack of all trades motor so I was quite impressed Evinrude made the choice to expand these rockstar engines down to the masses. I had already tested the 150-H.O on two pontoon boats so I was very excited to see the application on a fishing boat. One of the standard features on every G2 is iTrim - an automatic trim setting. To activate you simply trim the engine all the way down while in Neutral and you're all set. Before you say "I know how to trim my boat" I am going to cut you off and say there is no way you know how to trim your boat better than a computer - because that's what's in control here. The internal computer takes account of everything from engine rpm, speed, fuel flow and many other factors to give you the optimal trim setting.
So as I put the throttle down for a hole shot I noted that we were on plane in an impressive 3 seconds and immediately the iTrim went to work. Where I found to really enjoy this setting was when I wanted to make a tight turn. I was able to keep both hands on the wheel as the iTrim did all of the work.
While it is nice to have both hands on the wheel you don't need it to help you turn. That's because another feature of the G2 is the power assisted steering. That along with digital shift and throttle make for a pleasurable boating experience. No where does it say that if you're in a fishing boat you can't have nice features!
And of course there is the hair raising performance of the G2. The hair on the back of my neck still stands thinking about the power this motor has. The most fuel efficient cruise we found was at 3000 rpm and 22.75 where the boat burned only 3.8 Gallons Per Hour. But when you put the throttle down from there you will feel the incredible surge in power, even at higher RPM like 4000. 4000 rpm registered a speed of 32.7 mph but when we put the throttle down to 5000 rpm the motor sprung to life, somehow finding a new gear and jumped to 42.6 mph. To be able to make a 10 mph jump at the higher end of the range is pretty impressive. There was still a bit left too as we hit a top speed of 48.7 mph at wide open throttle.
Even if you pack the boat up with gear, fuel, fill the livewells and have your buds with you you will still get great performance, and that's well under the max horsepower rating of 200 for the Titan 186.
It's not always easy being the new kid in town. But when you offer such great value, fish-ability and match it with incredible performance like the 2016 Starcraft Titan 186 does, then you won't have any issues making friends.

Accordion Guy's advice (and the article he's referring to) for people who mess around in the high-tech sphere is perfectly applicable to writers, too:
If you have successful friends, you will be successful. It's pretty much that simple. If you hang out with a bunch of losers, you too will adopt their loser ways and not achieve anything. Regardless of whether or not you go out and network, please make sure that your friends are ambitious and hard working people who you admire.
The writers I hang out with, work with, swap editing with, and read all have one thing in common: they write. Usually they write a lot. And when they write, they're serious about getting their writing out there, one way or another.
I used to describe them as people who were working to get published (and I appointed myself as judge of whether they were realistic in that, for better or worse). Now I look a little more widely, realizing that there are many paths, and many measures of success; now I look for writers who have defined useful goals and work to achieve them. (Again, whether the goals are useful is something I judge for myself.)
But people who talk about wanting to write? They aren't people I talk to about writing. People who have been working on the same novel for ten years? People who have this one idea they'd like to turn into a novel? People who do nothing but "free-writing"? People who don't want feedback on their work?
Those are good people, fine people. I have no problem with those people. But they aren't people I talk to about writing. The people whose opinions I value, whose stories I hang on, whose work I seek out and ask to read and offer to help with and whose signed copies I display on my shelf with pride: those are writers.
And there's another side to this: why would those people want to hang out with me? They are perfectly capable of judging my goals, and whether I'm working towards them realistically. And there's no doubt that plenty of them have considered me and found me wanting, by their standards. And that's fine, too.
In short, to be a peer of other people whose work you respect, work like hell and make sure that what you produce is at least approaching the same sort of quality. If you want to hang out with great people, start by being one of those people.
