The Milwaukee Admirals have just announced a slate of roster moves. Jaynen Rissling Mikko Vainonen, Brandon Whitney, and Eric Robinson are set to join the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL. Meanwhile, Mike Ratchuk and Andrew Yogan have both been released from their PTO contracts with the Admirals.
Press Release via Milwaukee Admirals:
Milwaukee, WI—The Milwaukee Admirals announced today that the team has assigned defenseman Mikko Vainonen and forward Jaynen Rissling to the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL. In addition, the team has loaned forward Eric Robinson and goalie Brandon Whitney to the Cyclones and released defenseman Mike Ratchuk and forward Andrew Yogan from their tryout contracts.
The Admirals roster now sits at 24 players: two goalies, eight defensemen, and 14 forwards. A current roster is attached.
The Admirals will open the regular season next Saturday night, October 10 at the Allstate Arena against the Chicago Wolves. The Ads home opener is slated for Friday, October 16th at 7 pm against the Charlotte Checkers at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
Don't forget to follow the Admirals on Twitter (@mkeadmirals) and on Facebook.
As the press release states – the roster is now at 24 players. I get the impression current PTO signings David Moss and Adam Payerl might have earned places on the Admirals roster. Time will tell if they get bumped up to a fully fledged AHL deal. There's certainly no rush on the Admirals to make that happen right now -but- it would streamline the season should Moss or Payerl be in the long term plans rather than going PTO deal to PTO deal at 25 games a pop.
Thoughts on the current shape of the roster? Would you have preferred to see Robinson or Rissling stay up in place of someone else? Should the keep both Moss and Payerl or will an addition such as Steve Moses make that overkill?
Be sure to follow Admirals Roundtable on Twitter, like us on Facebook, and see our photos on Instagram.

Eastern Wake: Sports
Senior-laden East Wake girls soccer looking for chemistry
Here's a statistic most business owners would love: East Wake's girls soccer program grew by 43 percent this year.
Last year's roster of 22 players mushroomed to 39 this season, causing Warriors coach Crystal Espey to create a junior varsity team for the first time at the school.
"That is so big for this program," Espey said. "We've got a lot of sophomores and juniors on the JV team who are going to get some playing time this year and they'll really be able to step in and contribute next season."
But first things first. The Warriors were scheduled to open their season Tuesday night at home against Cary. They'll take the field this season with eight seniors, several of whom have played since their freshman year. Espey says she's looking to some of those seniors, including co-captains MaKenzie Gairrett and LA Tedder.
Tedder filled in as a keeper during her sophomore season, but moved into the field as a junior. With the graduation of Dre Todd, Tedder will move back into goal on a full-time basis. She'll be helped defensively by Gairrett who Espey says is capable of keeping Tedder clean.
"They both communicate very well. They are loud and they do a good job of keeping people in the positions they need to be," Espey said. Another senior defender and a four-year starter, Keslee Snuggs, will be important in jumpstarting the offense from the back line.
"She's got really strong ball-handling skills and she can turn from defense to offense really smoothly, so I wouldn't mind it if she moved the ball down the field for us from time to time," Espey said. "When she's on, she can really do some things with the ball."
The offensive picture is a little more muddled for the Warriors. Sophomore Ashton Cannon was East Wake's leading scorer as a freshman last season and returns for her second campaign. Espey said she is trying to decide the best lineup and Cannon could start as one of the team's forwards or in a mid-field position.
"We want to get her to where she's looking up and seeing the whole field," Espey said. "If she can see what's going on around her, she's fast enough and good enough with the ball that she could really set up some opportunities for us."
She will play alongside Kalyn Johnson, who has bypassed her junior year of academic eligibility and will play as a senior this spring. Sandy Gonzalez, a sophomore playing this season for the first time, has also impressed the coaches and figures to have a big role on the offensive side of the ball.
After two straight seasons in the playoffs, Espey took over an East Wake team that struggled in her first season. But she's had a chance to assess last season's body of work and she has some specific ideas about how to improve.
"We want to work on our corner kicks and our goal kicks," she said. "We had some chances last year that I think we want to be able to convert this season."
Espey doesn't consider her players a track squad. Nor, she says, will they outmuscle every team they play. "I think we're capable of playing either way. We've got some players that can get the ball out in space and get down the field in a hurry, but we can be aggressive at times when we need to be, too." she said.
Pecking order
West Johnston High School has been the class of the Greater Neuse River Conference for the past several years now, and Espey smiles and nods her head when she's asked about them. The Wildcats are the favorite to win the title again. But Espey thinks the 2014 version of the Warriors can contend for one of the remaining playoff spots.
To meet that goal, Espey says the team is going to have to develop a sound chemistry. "They need to have confidence in each other and know enough about each other that they will know where everybody's going to be on the field at a given moment," Espey said.
If that happens, the Warriors could be competitive with the rest of the league.

Beauty. It is a subject I am SO passionate about, because our culture wrongly defines it. They define it by what you do. They define it by what you look like in comparison to the celebrities, but how does God, the Father, the Maker of EVERYTHING define beauty?
Proverbs 31:30 is one of my favorite passages that is CONSTANTLY pointing me back to the importance of the inner beauty, the beauty that FLOWS from my heart, not the beauty that I can just put on on the outside. It says, 'Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.'
Peter reminds the precious women in 1 Peter 3:4, 'But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.' That beauty is a beauty that no amount of age or time can take away. It is a beauty that is lasting, beautiful, precious, gentle, and bears the sweet savor of Christ.
Beauty looks different, and there is no 'strict' standard for beauty that we all have to adhere to, because that is the beauty of God creating EVERYONE different. What is the very essence of a beauty of a human being? Genesis 1 and 2 bears out that mankind was MADE in the image of God. No animal or creature was made in God's image. There was something very special about a human being, and I am so grateful to be able to look at every human being and see them as a precious person, made in the image of my Lord God and Savior.
I was thinking about beauty, and I thought, 'What if I reached out to some of my blogger friends and asked them to share about their 'beauty' routine everyday?' You might be surprised. These precious girls are all so different, and I think that God made every one of them beautiful. This shows you that BEAUTY does not and never will look the same. It doesn't include just a make-up routine, because God created us mind, body, soul, and spirit, and each girl illustrated that her beauty routine encompasses taking care of that WHOLE person. 🙂
Kaylin from 'Enticing Healthy Eating' chimed in and told me her morning beauty routine
'My beauty routine is very short in the morning. I don't put much thought into makeup and hair because I'm very comfortable in my own, natural skin. One beauty routine for my health I never fail to forget to do in the morning before eating anything else is I drink a glass of water with half a squeezed lemon and 1 Tbsp. of apple cider vinegar.'
Marina from 'A Dancer's Live It' (She has a huge gift for dance and talking about body image/'clean eating' issues in an AMAZING way) shared her beauty routine…)
'Waking up early, getting in a workout that I LOVE doing, and then taking time at the end of the day to meditate to take in what just happened. Also, nourishing my body with delicious foods and eating what my body WANTS.'
Kayla from Healthy Helper Blog (one of my blogger friends that has inspired me with her positive attitude and love for blogging and healthy living) said that her beauty routine goes a little like this…
'Taking care of my body inside and out is what's beautiful to me! That means waking up early, doing some stretching and deep breathing, drinking a BIG glass of water, eating a hearty breakfast, getting in a workout, using all natural personal care products, and then heading to school with minimal makeup!'
Megan from Apron Strings and Sticky Fingers!!! I have been so thankful that we can get to know people from ALL the way across the world. Megan lives down under, and she has been a TREMENDOUS blessing from the Lord in the recovery journey and constantly reminding me what true beauty really is. She shared her beauty routine…
'I like to focus on inner beauty first, so spending quiet time with God is a priority. Letting him be the most important thing in my life feeds that desire to be loved and accepted.'
Liz from Tongue in Chic (who GETS to live in KUWAIT and posts about travel and all that such fun stuff) shared that her beauty routine includes a rather fun way to start the morning.
'My beauty routine is to have a killer glute workout followed by a muffin and cappuccino every Saturday morning.'
(Hehe… Don't you love it.)
Last of all, I am so thankful that even though my body is wasting away, even though it's often sore and weak, my INWARD woman is being renewed in beauty by God's grace. My spirit is being renewed day by day with the hope of Jesus, the hope of God glorifying my body someday, of this earthly body being CHANGED to see my Lord and Savior someday. That is a hope to cling to, because it is sure, and it is SO AWESOME!
2 Corinthians 4:16 says, 'So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.'
How would you define beauty?
Do you think the culture has too narrow of a definition of beauty?
What does your beauty routine include?
Last of all, BUT NOT LEAST, I am HAPPY to announce that Cora won my 'Wild Friends Peanut Butter Appreciation Giveaway.' Stay tuned on the blog, because, Lord willing, I hope to do a giveaway about every 6 months. It's just a little way of saying, 'Thank you,' to every one of the readers who visit.
Thank you Katie for letting me share the stories of all these beautiful bloggers!

The film is co-directed by Danny B. Tull and Nathan Rissman, both of whom have worked extensively with Madonna on her feature films and tour movies. Madonna will be honored later this year as Billboard magazine's 2016 Woman of the Year award, at a star-studded event held in conjunction with the publication of Billboard's Women in Music list, which identifies the 50 most powerful female executives in the industry each year.
For a first look at Madonna : Rebel Heart Tour, check out below :
"When it comes to putting on a show, there is only one Madonna – an iconic performer that we're thrilled to have on our air," said David Nevins, President and CEO, Showtime Networks Inc. "With her unique creative vision and unmatched stage presence, our viewers will see an arena show packed with visual theatrics, stunning costumes and intricate choreography, featuring new hits and beloved classic songs."
The set list for Madonna : Rebel Heart Tour, spans all decades of the iconic superstar's illustrious career, including songs from Rebel Heart (the No. 1 dance hits Living for Love and Bitch I'm Madonna) to classic fan favorites like Material Girl and Holiday and a Dress You Up medley that included Get Into The Groove, Everybody and Lucky Star. Memorable highlights from the tour include her first-ever live concert performance of Take a Bow, acoustic versions of Like A Prayer, Secret and Don't Tell Me. At each tour date during the song Unapologetic Bitch, Madonna would bring someone up from the crowd to dance with her during the song. Some nights it was a fan, another night it was Katy Perry. Other guest dancers included: Amy Schumer, Ariana Grande, Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Diplo, Gwendoline Christie, Graham Norton and Anderson Cooper.

WWE Smackdown Live Coverage And Results (7/31) Tampa, FloridaPosted By: Elio C. Jr. on Jul 31, 2018
Welcome to WWE Smackdown Live and Smackdown this week is coming to us from Tampa, Florida and we kick things off with Renee Young in the ring and she introduces Becky Lynch who makes her way out to the ring.
Becky says when you wait so long for something sometimes you doubt if it will ever happen but knew if she kept pushing hard enough it will happen. She hasn't been champion since 2016 and last week when she beat Carmella she couldn't sleep because she kept thinking about Summerslam.
She says she knows the champion will have a target on her back but she wasn't born to be a champion she fought to be a champion and will walk into the first ever all women PPV WWE Evolution as the new Smackdown Women's Champion
Carmella makes her way to the ring. She says it is not what Becky thinks. Normally she would make some excuse for why she lost last week. That is not the case. Last week, you beat me fair and square and earned your opportunity at SummerSlam. Carmella says she did not think about the importance of Stephanie's announcement. Carmella says they are going to be part of the first women's pay per view. They are not representing Smackdown or Raw, they are representing every woman who has ever been in the ring. Carmella says she felt like she failed. Carmella says she has been jealous because Becky was always ahead of her.
Carmella says she was always told she would only be a manager but you were there to give her advice. Then you go on to WWE and you are the first woman drafted to Smackdown. Carmella reminds everyone was the last pick. Becky was the centerpiece while Carmella was an afterthought. Everyone has always loved Becky. Carmella starts to tear up and she says that people do not think she should be the champion. She tries so hard to block out the haters who say that she sucks and is unworthy of the title. People say that she should just go away. She says she has to put on a brave face and act like she belongs here. She is looking forward to tearing the house down.
She wishes Becky good luck and she offers her hand.
James Ellsworth's music plays and Carmella hits Becky from behind and then she gets a chair.
Charlotte Flair comes out and hits an Exploder on Carmella.
Back from commercial, Carmella walks into Paige's office complaining about what happened and Paige said she actually believed Carmella but tells her she should be ashamed of herself and is going to show Carmella how to be a real champion. Tonight Carmella will face Charlotte Flair and if Charlotte wins then the Smackdown Women's Championship at Summerslam will become a triple threat match

The Winners Of The Match: The Bar
Backstage: Charlotte says thanks to Carmella she has this golden opportunity and she didn't even think she was going to be at Summerslam but the Queen is back and ready to reclaim her throne
Video: Last Tuesday's attack on AJ Styles at the hands of his Summerslam opponent Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe says last week he just sent a message and says he respects AJ Styles and respects The House That AJ Styles Built and respects that Styles made the WWE Championship prestigious. Last week Styles came out and told a lovely tale about his daughter and telling her she can do anything she puts her mind to but he's known Styles a long time and is barely home long enough to hug his child
Joe says Styles feels more comfortable on the road living out of a suitcase more than staying at home being a husband and he understands that. Styles put being champion above being a father and a failure at that. Come Summerslam when the whole world's cheering for Styles, his family will be cheering for Joe because after he tears down Styles' house, AJ's family will have their daddy back, but Samoa Joe will be WWE Champion
Jeff Hardy is in the ring and says the US Championship is part of his lifeforce. It's his fifth eye, revitalizes him and it is his deep connection to the WWE Universe
When he lost it, a piece of him was severed away and it's important for him to beat Shinsuke Nakamura but one thing that's more important is to beat up Randy Orton and he calls Orton out.
Orton makes his way out to the ring and Hardy is ready for a fight. Orton climbs on the apron staring at Hardy as Shinsuke Nakamura attacks from behind. Shinsuke looks to hit the Kinchasa but Orton stops him then moves out of the way as Nakamura hits the Kinchasa.
Orton and Nakamura then stare each other down and Nakamira slides out of the ring. Orton stands over Hardy and sets up for an RKO. Harrdy gets to his feet but Orton dumps him to the mat again. Orton with The Garvin Stomp on Hardy

Orton rips Hardy's armsleeves off and his t-shirt before tearing off Hardy's necklace. Orton then pours water on Hardy's face and begins to wipe off the face paint
Backstage: Becky says she's happy Charlotte is back. Usually when she's in the ring she relies on adrenaline rather than mathematics so she's happy Charlotte's back but not looking forward to a potential triple threat but she never roots against her best friend
Zelina playing a little mind games at the outset and Lana with mind games of her own. Zelina with a right hand and they begin to shove each other until Lana takes her down unloading with punches but Zelina slides out of the ring as we go to break

Lana gets back to her feet trying to fight back but Zelina still in control. Zelina back to the chinlock as Lana backs her into the corner breaking the hold.

Lana is whipped into the corner and Zelina runs into an elbow. Lana on the top rope and Andrade up on the apron for the distraction. Aiden English runs down and pulls Almas off the apron but Zelina, off the distraction, rolls Lana up for the three count
The winner of the match: Zelina Vega
Promo: The Bludgeon Brothers say they will break The Bar and shatter The New Day because at Summerslam no one is safe from the bludgeoning
Backstage: Aiden is trying to apologize but Lana says the best thing to do is to just leave. Rusev walks in yelling for Aiden and asks if Lana is okay
Daniel Bryan is in the ring and says last week WWE announced the first ever all-women's pay per view called WWE Evolution. As he watched, he couldn't help feel proud of his wife Brie because Brie was in the ring for 30 seconds when a hashtag called #GiveDivasAChance spread worldwide. He says it seems every time it looks like we're taking one step forward, we take two steps back and turns everyone's attention to the big screen where we see footage from last week of Miz attacking Bryan
Bryan says watching that bothers him because for two years Miz thought he had a protective wall because Bryan wasn't cleared but then Bryan was cleared and that wall was broken down so what does he do he brings out his wife and what Bryan thought was Miz and Maryse's baby and built a wall because he knows Bryan would destroy him
Bryan calls Miz out so he can punch him in the face. Miz appears on the screen and says this isn't high school where Bryan calls Miz out for a fight. He's a talent and is on the set of Miz and Missus. Bryan says he doesn't care about Miz' show, he came out to fight and it proves Miz is a coward
Miz says last time Bryan called him a coward they were on the set of Talking Smack and Miz got in his face and Bryan walked off. He's been carrying Bryan for 10 years since he was Bryan's pro on NXT. Bryan says for him it's about passion, for Miz it's about fame and his dream of turning into a hollywood star has already been done by people better than him
Bryan says Miz will never be The Rock or John Cena and no one will ever remember him as a great superstar because he is too soft. But if Miz needs a big stage then challenges him to fight Bryan one on one at Summerslam. Miz says this a repetitive cycle. He's done with Bryan, the Yes Movement is over and tells Bryan to move on because when people look at him all they see is a crybaby.

Despite a rising gale-force wind in the closing stages of his round at Portlethen, Paul Lawrie, with a brilliant, six-under-par score of 64, won last weeks North-east Golfers' Alliance fixture. It was his second victory in three weeks, following up son Craig's success last week at Buckpool. Paul birdied the second, seventh, ninth, 11th, 15th and 16th in halves of 33 (three under) and 31 (three under). He had a tremendous run of six successive 3s from the seventh to the 12th and had, in all, 10 3s on his bogey-free card.
He won by a stroke from Newmachar-attached pro John Duff whose 65 was also bogey-free and had birdies at the first, third, 12th, 13th and 15th in halves of 34 and 31.

These Coconut Cashew Cookies are really easy to make and go perfect with a cup of tea or a fresh glass of homemade coconut milk.
Don't worry if you don't like the crunch of coconut flakes because I don't either, but you won't have the crunch because the coconut flakes are ground very fine in the food processor.
And, you still have the subtle taste of coconut with the nutty flavor from the cashews.
These delicate little cookies are vegan, flourless, gluten-free and grain-free with no refined sugars.
5 Fast Facts About Cashews:
- packed with dietary fiber
- rich in "heart friendly" mono-saturated fatty acids
- rich source of minerals
- high in magnesium and copper
- excellent source of antioxidants
5 Fast Facts About Coconut Oil:
- super high in lauric acid
- rich in antioxidants
- contains natural microbial and anti-bacterial agents
- helps to improve metabolism
- improves cholesterol levels
5 Fast Facts About Coconut Flakes:
- 2 tablespoons contain 4.6 g RDA of dietary fiber
- healthy source of medium-chain fatty acids
- can help to decrease cholesterol
- high in lauric acid
- excellent source of manganese at 60% RDA and iron at 11% RDA
5 Fast Facts About Himalayan Pink Salt:
- contains 84 minerals
- unrefined, unprocessed, raw
- promotes stable pH balance in cells
- controls water levels in the body
- aids digestion and facilitates better nutrient absorption
Tip #1: These cookies are a little finiky, but unbelievably good if you get them right (which I have done about 50% of the times I've made them). You have to keep a very close eye on them in the oven to make sure they don't overcook and burn. Then you have to let them sit in the pan until they are completely cooled off before removing them or they will crumble apart.
Tip #2: I use the same big coconut flakes I buy in bulk from Tropical Traditions to make these, but grind them up very finely with the cashews before mixing them with the other ingredients.
Tip #3: For the organic granulated sweetener, I used raw coconut crystals.
Tip #4: You can buy the coconut flakes (for the recipe and to make homemade coconut milk) and the coconut oil in bulk from Tropical Traditions.
Coconut Cashew Cookies (Vegan, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo-Friendly, No Refined Sugar)
|The Healthy Family and Home
- 1 1/2 cup organic raw cashews
- 1 cup organic shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup organic granulated sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon pink himalayan salt
- 1/4 cup organic coconut oil (melted/liquid)
- 2 tablespoons organic full fat coconut milk
|Step 1
|Add the cashews and coconut flakes in a food processor and pulse until they are coarse and crumbly.
Add the sweetener, vanilla extract, pink himalayan salt and baking soda to the cashew/coconut mixture in the food processor and pulse again until everything is well combined.
Add the coconut oil and coconut milk to the processor and pulse again until everything is well combined.
Using a spoon, take a small amount of the cookie dough into the palms of your hand and roll gently into a ball shape.
After you put them on the baking pan, gently press down the cookies slightly (they will flatten out more while they are baking).
To prevent them from burning on the bottom, put the baking sheet with the cookie dough on top of another baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 8 - 10 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they don't overcook/burn.
Remove them from the oven and let them sit for 5 - 10 minutes or until they cool completely. DO NOT try to remove them while they are still warm, they will crumble and break apart.
Once they are cool, move them to a cooling rack so they will get crisp.

Shoulder Instability
For the arm and hand to work normally for all the tasks of daily activities and sports, the shoulder joint must be able to provide a wide range of motion to the upper limb. Unfortunately, the normal anatomic design that allows for great motion also places the shoulder joint at risk for injury.
Instability in the shoulder, a situation in which the shoulder slips out of place, often occurs due to an injury when the ligaments, which hold the ball and socket of the shoulder together, are stretched or torn.
In some circumstances, even without major injury, the shoulder can slip out of place. This usually occurs during sports that involve overhead repetitive stress on the shoulder, especially during overhead activity, such as baseball, tennis, volleyball and swimming. In some situations, this problem can be controlled with therapeutic exercises designed to restore muscle coordination, strength and stamina.
For some athletes, depending on the types of shoulder instability problems and their sports activities, braces can help to minimize the shoulder instability problem. However, in many circumstances, surgery is needed to repair or tighten the injured ligaments.
If surgery is required, the operation may be performed through a small incision in the front of the shoulder, or may be performed using arthroscopy (minimally invasive) surgery. Often the type of surgery chosen would be dependant on the degree of injury to the ligaments. Anthroscopic surgery is now the surgery of choice.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Frozen shoulder is a common problem affecting patients in their early forties and onwards. It can come on after even a seemingly minor injury, in many cases, in seems to just start for no apparent reason. It is slightly more common in patients who have diabetes.
The symptoms start initially with a period of weeks to months of increasingly severe shoulder pain. These symptoms are particularly severe at night, affecting sleep. The pain is often worsened by sudden movements, and it may sometimes be difficult to find a comfortable position. During this period, the shoulder joint is undergoing a process of inflammation, resulting in pain.
After a period of time, the pain continues, but starts to give way to a process of scarring and stiffening of the shoulder movements, the so-called "freezing" stage. During this stage, the shoulder joint becomes increasingly restricted in its range of movements, sometimes to the point of significantly affecting activities of daily living like dressing, and reaching for items overhead.
Finally, during the "thawing" stage, the pain subsides and the shoulder gradually regains its previous motion.The entire process may take up to 18 months.
Treatment during the painful inflammatory phase is directed at controlling pain and increasing comfort. During the freezing and thawing phases, physiotherapy is used to hasten the return of useful shoulder range of motion. Occasionally, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery may be required in patients who fail to recover their range of motion.

New products in use in my studio.....
I used products and supplies from the brand new 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog. I used the Level 1 Hostess set Because I Care and stamped on the new DSP Newsprint using versamark and heat embossed it with black embossing powder. I colored the flower with the Pear Pizzazz and the Blushing Bride ink using an aqua painter. I sponged the Newsprint DSP with Pear Pizzazz and attached it to a Basic Black layer. I made a 'ribbon' using the in-color Blushing Bride cardstock, the eyelet border punch and the crimper. Finally I attached it to the Pear Pizzazz base to finish it off.
Hope you enjoy it,

A touch of inspiration..
So, here is the kit that I ended up with:
I used some current stamps and some retired sets from my stash that I can't bear to part with (Side note: we are at the tail end of the ordering period for the Last Chance List. If there is something you want that is on the list, please order in today or tomorrow so you won't be sad on Thursday when you can't get the set anymore).
My supplies:
Pick a Petal stamp set, Simple Birthday Thanks stamp set, Time Well Spent (got that FREE from Stampin' Up! just for being a demonstrator), Loads of Love, Crayon Kids and Beary Best Friends . I also used several misc colors of card stock for the card bases, current and retired ribbons, and buttons. All in all I think a little girl would love to get this card kit. I KNOW I would.
Hope you have a fantastic day!
P.S. Don't forget that the current catalog ends tomorrow night at midnight so if you want any stamps, accessories (lots are retiring), card stock (the price is going up so you might want to stock up now) or envelopes you can place your order on line or call me and I'll place it for you.
And don't forget about my special offer for a chance at a $50 shopping spree (see my previous post - sorry for the formatting on that one, the preview does NOT look like that. It has pretty bullet points and colors too!

I am looking for someone to host a workshop this weekend. (Last minute parties are often some of the BEST for gathering friends and having fun.) I also have some availabilities during the day or evening this week and next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Do you want me to come to your office and do a lunchtime card class? Would you like me to come to your pool and teach you and your friends while you're waiting during dive or swim team practice? Interested in having me join you for your monthly girls-night-out to have your friends learn how to make some fantastic cards? One of the best parts of my job (and these products) is that I have the flexibility to show you how to make cards and scrapbook techniques pretty much anywhere. Don't forget that a hostess that books something right now will get an additional benefit as noted above.
If you're wondering who you can invite I can e-mail you a tip sheet on where you can 'find' your friends. Remember that you'll never know if one of your friends enjoys this until you invite them to a workshop, so invite everyone and you're sure to have a blast. Call me at 703-200-2340 to discuss workshop date options.
There are a few more little things I want to let you know about.
I have seen the new catalog and the price of the cardstock has gone up from $5.50 to $6.95 for a pack of 24 sheets of the same color cardstock. (Thought you might want to know just in case you want to stock up on colors that you know you use often).
Assorted packs of card stock have gone from 36 sheets to 20 sheets (due to the Color Renovation and each family now having 10 colors instead of 12) and have dropped from $7.95 to $6.95
This is your LAST CHANCE to get something from the LAST CHANCE LIST. The Last Chance list is updated every day at about 6pm. I'm told we will fill all order for the stamp sets, however the cardstock, inks, refills and accessories (ribbons, brads, etc) are on a first come, first served basis. If you are interested in getting something on the Last Chance list and would like to see the current update on what is no longer available, please let me know and I can get that information to you.
You can place any order on line at my website, or by calling or e-mailing me.

Happy Stamping and good luck on your chance at winning a $50 shopping spree from me!

Samples of some of the retiring sets
I thought you might want to see some samples made with a few of the retiring sets so I looked at my photos from the Stampin' Up! convention from last summer and found some. I took these photos from the display boards so I have no idea who made these cards. If one of them is yours please let me know and I'll happily give you credit.
There are only a few weeks left to get stamp sets from the Last Chance List so if you have something on your wish list that is on the Last Chance List, let me know as soon as possible.
This stamp set is a Level 2 Hostess set and is called Asian Artistry.
There are TWO retiring sets on this scrapbook page (sorry its so blurry). One is the Wild West Alphabet (#115112 $43.95) and the other is Card Games (#113202 $19.95).This background stamp Tres Chic (#109258 $17.95) is retiring.
I'll be so sad to see Embrace Life (#114958 $25.95) go away. My Stamping Friends know that it was a favorite of mine......but I have to remember that even though I'll be sad when its gone in a few weeks, there will be more room for NEW STAMPS in our NEW CATALOG!

As public school classrooms fill up tomorrow and eager young minds open themselves to new ideas and experiences, we'd like to take this moment to thank the teachers.
That you're not paid enough is common knowledge. That you have to somehow compete for the hearts and minds of these children against a world rife with distraction and dangers is a tragedy.
That somehow you're expected to take all this on without ever once letting them see you sweat is nothing short of a miracle.
Every person walking the street today, every last one of them, has a teacher that changed their life. If they say they don't, they weren't paying attention. No matter what their passion in life, at some point there was some educator who pointed them in that direction. (We'd like to take a quick moment to thank Mrs. Sharon Kalinowski of Union Lake, Mich., without whose guidance this editorial would never have been written).
Every year, teachers, the rising and falling demographics of your town give you a new crop of children with their own fears, their own problems, their own aptitudes and their own idiosyncrasies.
It is your job to find that seed of greatness within each one of them, and to coax it out and help it bloom.
But it's also your job to keep them in line and teach them discipline. Kids will be kids, and that definition includes no small measure of rambunctiousness, a growing interest in throwing things at their fellow students and a burgeoning knowledge of certain profanities (depending on their age group).
We've been around enough kids to know that having to be that voice of reason around a large pack of them five days a week must require marathon endurance.
So we salute you, teachers, for the difference you make and for the hard work you do.
It's your last day before that bell rings for the new school year. Put your feet up. Drink some coffee.
You've earned it.
And thanks, Mrs. Kalinowski.

text: I´ve just had the most fantastic time diving with whale sharks and large schools of hammerheads at Darwin Island, in the Galapagos. Our two groups of six divers had a total of 45 whale shark sightings during our 9 dives at Darwin and 2 at Wolf. For those of you who are unfamiliar with whale sharks, they are the largest fish in the ocean, and can be upwards of 60 feet long. They are simply massive, and are wonderful to be in the water with. I will have photos up when I return to the States. After coming to the Galapagos with the hope of seeing a single whale shark in the water, seeing them on almost every dive was a real treat. :)

Telemetric Measurements of Effects of Post-Operative AnalgesicsGregory P. Boivin, DVM University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OhioAn essential aspect of a quality animal care program is the provision for post-operative analgesia. We now have the ability to determine evidence of pain directly in rodents by the use of radio-telemetry. Evidence of pain can be demonstrated by telemetric changes in blood pressure, heart rate, core body temperature, electrocardiogram and locomotor activity levels. In this application we have devised a series of studies utilizing radio-telemetry to help determine whether post-operative analgesia improves the well being of the mouse.
We have 2 Specific Alms in this application. The first aim is to determine whether preemptive analgesia (the administration of analgesics before pain starts) improves analgesic activity over post-operative administration of analgesics. To examine this we will test the hypothesis that a single dose of flunixin meglumine or buprenorphine given prior to surgery will provide better post-operative analgesia than a dose given post-operatively. The second aim is to deterrnine whether multiple doses of buprenorphine improves analgesia compared with a single dose. Because buprenorphine provides analgesia in the tail flick test for only 35 hours in mice, we believe that post-operative pain will only be partially relieved by a single dose of buprenorphine, and thus can alter biological function in the rodent. We thus hypothesize that multiple dosages of buprenorphine given at 4 hour intervals will provide prolonged and improved post-operative analgesia compared with a single dose of buprenorphine.
Results of this research will provide information for optimization of the use of postoperative analgesics in mice. This will be very beneficial in preventing pain in numerous mouse surgical protocols used nationally and intemationally.Development and Use of an Immortalized Human Goblet Cell Line for the Use in Ocular Toxicity TestingDarlene Dartt, PhDThe Schepens Eye Research Institute, Harvard University, Boston, MassachusettsThe conjunctival epithelium along with the cornea makes up the ocular surface. The conjunctiva has long been used as a component of the Draize test and mucin secretion from this tissue as one of its endpoints. To replace the Draize test, many laboratories have developed cell lines and primary cultures of corneal epithelial cells and conjunctival stratified squamous cells. No one, however, has been able to culture conjunctival goblet cells. The longterm objective of the present application is to develop a cell line of human conjunctival goblet cells with an extended life span and subsequently to use these cells for ocular irritancy testing. The specific aims are:
We recently established and characterized primary cultures of human conjunctival goblet cells from explants of surgically removed conjunctiva. For specific aim 1, we will attempt to transfect these cells with SV40 and telomerase. We will select the surviving colonies. After selection of telomerase positive cells, they will be expanded into cell line(s) and frozen down.
For specific aim 2, we will characterize the colonies of cells. We will first determine if the surviving cells retain their goblet cell characteristics by western blotting and immunofluorescence, microscopy. We will investigate whether these cells contain the intermediate filament keratin 7, the secretory mucin muc 5ac, terminal sugars on the secretory mucins that recognize the lectin Helix pornatia agglutinnin (HPA), and secretory product that stains with alcian blue/periodic acid Schiffs reagent. These are all specific markers of goblet cells. We will next determine if these cells contain keratin 4 and terminal sugars on the mucin secretory product that recognize the lectin Banderia, both of which are specific for the stratified squamous cells of the conjunctiva. We will select colonies that contain goblet cell markers. Colonies of cells will also be analyzed by electron microscopy to investigate if they contain large numbers of secretory vesicles, also indicative of goblet cells. Finally, we will determine the population doubling time of these cells with the goal of obtaining a 20 fold or more doubling capacity. For specific aim 3, we will use the newly created cell line of conjunctival goblet cells to determine the effect of neurotransmitters and growth factors on their secretion of mucin. Cells will be grown on glass coverslips in 6 well tissue culture plates. To measure secretion coverslips containing cells will be incubated with agonists for varying times from 15 to 120 minutes. The medium will be removed and the cells scraped and homogenized. Medium and cell homogenate will be analyzed for the amount of secretory product using an enzyme linked lectin assay with HPA lectin. We will test the neurotransmitters and growth factors that we have previously found to stimulate rat conjunctival goblet cell secretion. These results will be used as a baseline to then determine if known ocular irritants effect basal, neurotransmitter, or growth factor stimulated secretion.
The development of a goblet cell line with an expanded life span that secretes mucins and other antibacterial proteins is a useful model that could be potentially used as an alternative to the Draize test.Development of an In Vitro System to Test the Effects and Toxicity of Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Fibrotic Drugs in the Human LiverGeny Groothuis, PhDUniversity of Groningen, Groningen, The NetherlandsLiver cirrhosis is a fatal liver disease and belongs to the top ten causes of death in the Western World. Cirrhosis is characterized by, among others, excessive deposition of connective tissue (fibrosis) leading to loss of liver function. To date, no adequate drug therapy is available due to the fact that the potential drugs show either lack of effect or serious side effects. The only effective treatment is liver transplantation.
In addition the pathogenesis of the disease process, being the onset and progression of fibrosis and its reversibility, are only partially understood. Research concerning the pathogenesis and the development of drugs is usually performed in animal experiments, which is accompanied by relatively high discomfort for the animals.
In this project an in vitro system using liver slices will be developed in order to be able to investigate the pathogenesis of the disease without treatment of the animals, thereby reducing the number and the discomfort of the animals used. Moreover, the system will allow us to test drugs, developed in our institute for efficacy and toxicity in vitro and in vivo, as is currently the case. In addition, such an in vitro system can be applied to human liver tissue, enabling us to study human specific features of the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. This will contribute to a safer first administration of newly developed drugs in man and to a reduction, replacement and refinement of animal experiments.Reducing Postoperative Pain and Distress in MiceAlicia Z. Karas, DVMTufts University, Boston, MassachusettsA major problem of humane experimental use of animals becomes evident as IACUCS review mouse use Protocols. Investigators who are asked, to provide post surgical supportive care after painful procedures, such as surgery, have relatively little information regarding doses, techniques; and effects Of supportive therapy. Unfortunately, evidence-based studies are comparatively rare. Our group has been studying postoperative behavior and weight changes in mice following surgery, and has developed a model to study interventions that might improve postoperative welfare. Briefly, we videotape singly housed mice in a standard setting, for 5 minute intervals every 3 hours for 48 hours. Using a camera that produces images during the mouse's active period (darknesss), we have demonstrated that typical mouse behaviors; such as reaching for the top of the cage, climbing on the roof of the cage and eating or drinking are markedly attenuated compared to control groups who have had anesthesia only. In addition, they spend significantly more time sleeping and experience weight loss of 8-12% over the initial 24 hours following surgery. We hypothesize that these aberrations result from pain or metabolic stress or both. Furthermore we hypothesize that interventions that reduce pain and that minimize metabolic stress will improve animal well-being as well as the validity of experimental models. Specifically, we hypothesize that the abnormal behavior and weight loss experienced by mice after surgery can be:
We will test these hypotheses by
Further evaluation of combination techniques (i.e. anesthetic regimen plus analgesia plus supportive care) will determine optimal postoperative care of mice.Genomic Approaches to Defining Pain and Distress in MiceNorman C. Peterson, DVM, PhDJohns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MarylandA major objective of performing humane research on animals is to minimize or eliminate the painful experience of the subjects under study. In order to accomplish this objective, it is necessary to be able to identify if the animal is actually experiencing pain. This is often difficult in rodents as they have adapted protective strategies to hide potential weaknesses, and their normal activity levels are low during daylight hours when humans are working. Pain perception is influence by multiple genes, and if those genes (or responding genes) can be specifically identified, and their protein products quantified, an efficient analytical system of pain/distress detection in mice could be developed. Here, we propose to utilize high density microarray technology to identify those specific gene clusters in the mouse brain that are influenced by noxious stimuli. The results of these studies will then be used in other studies to further characterize different types of pain, to identify mouse strain differences in pain perception, and to characterize selected potential biomarkers for their application in the diagnosis of pain in mice.Measures to Reduce Stress Caused by Experimental ProceduresBert van Zutphen, PhD and Vera Baumans, DVMUniversity of Utrecht, Utrecht, The NetherlandsStress can be described as the inability of an individual to maintain homeostasis, which can occur as a reaction to a (negative) physical or mental stimulus. Laboratory animals are frequently subjected to routine experimental procedures such as injections or withdrawal of blood samples. Each of these treatments influences the horneostasis of the experimental animal to a certain extent, and can, therefore, have an effect on the well-being of the animals and, as a consequence, on the study results. The aim of the four-year PhD-project is to investigate the possibilities of environmental measures to reduce the degree of stress as experienced by the animals (mice) subjected to routine experimental procedures. It is anticipated that relative simple measures like cage enrichment, social housing and conditioning of the animals will have a substantial impact on the stress response of the animals. If so, the implementation of such measures would be a refinement in the use of laboratory animals.
In this research project, the following questions will be tackled:
In the first year, an experiment has been performed that focused specifically on questions numbers two and three. In the second year, the effects of cage enrichment, handling, individual housing and strain will be investigated in more detail. Furthermore, we will focus on question four. It is hypothesized that an unpleasant, stressful procedure such as an injection will be less stressful when the animal can predict when it will happen (conditioning) and/or when it has a pleasant experience quickly afterwards (reward). In order to measure the stress experienced by the animals in this experiment, we will use radio-telemetry techniques for the stress-free measurement of heart rate and body temperature. Although radio-telemetry requires a surgical procedure to implant the transmitter, it is generally accepted as a refinement of animal experimentation. Furthermore, it reduces the number of animals used, as animals can serve as their own controls.
As far as we know, there has been no experience so far in using radio-telemetry to measure anticipation and/or stress during classic Pavlovian conditioning paradigms. Behavioral observations, however, have been extensively used to this purpose. We therefore want to support and validate the physiological parameters by behavioral observations using LABORAS, a device for the automatic registration of behavior of mice or rats. A combined device of LABORAS with the radio-telemetry system of DataSciences International is currently being developed and will be available in the near future.
As it will not be necessary to obtain organs for post-mortem examination after the conditioning experiments, the transmitter-implanted animals will not have to be euthanized. Therefore, the implanted animals can also be used in another experiment focusing on question number one. Experiments will be performed that compare different injection techniques to see if these techniques cause different levels of stress responses. If so, the less stressful methods can be advised to animal experimenters if both more stressful and less stressful methods are possible options.Bovine Corneal Organ Culture: An ex vivo Model for Chemical Toxicity TestsKeping Xu, PhDMedical College of Georgia, Augusta, GeorgiaThe long-term goal has been to develop an ex vivo assay system to predict ocular irritation potential of test chemicals and consumer products. The objective of this proposal is to understand the role of growth factors released upon corneal injury in regulation of wound healing. We hypothesize that chemical or other injury induce the release of growth factors such as heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) from epithelial and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) from stroma keratocytes and continue release of these factors is required for the recovery of corneal injury. In this study we will use porcine corneal organ culture as an experimental model (Xu KP, Li XF, Yu FX. Corneal organ culture model for assessing epithelia[ responses to surfactants. Toxicological Sciences 2000;58:306-314). The specific aims are:
The proposed study will provide a better understanding of molecular bases for corneal response to and recovery from chemical injury and several measurable ex vivo parameters much needed for developing an ex vivo model for evaluating the ocular initancy potential of chemicals and consumer products.

Innsmouth are a band from Denmark that plays a very technical and brutal form of death metal and this is a review of their 2014 album "The Shadow over Innsmouth" which was released by Crime Records.
A very melodic and technical guitar lead starts off the album before adding in a more old school death metal sound along with some growls, screams and blast beats while also keeping around the technical elements and after awhile atmospheric synths are added into certain sections of the recording.
All of the musical instruments on the recording sound very powerful and there are also some spoken word ritualistic parts being utilized at times and some of the songs also bring in small amounts of clean playing and the band focuses more on a 90's style of technical death metal instead of the more modern variation of this genre along with some leads and solos that are more in an 80's shred metal direction while the guttural elements the vocals use at times make the album sound more modern.
Innsmouth go back to the 90's era of technical and brutal death metal and mix it in with the 80's style of shred music as well as bringing in more modern atmospheric and guttural elements to create a sound of t heir own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics are based on the writings of H.P Lovecraft.
In my opinion Innsmouth are a very great sounding technical death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dreams Of Drowning" "Under the Pyramids" and "The Shadow Over Insmouth". 8 out of 10.

The vast majority of lawyers who take on government-funded legal aid cases are not being paid on time, according to the Criminal Lawyers' Association. The delays in payments are so severe that some firms say they are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Legal Aid Ontario, however, claims it pays 70 per cent of bills within 21 days. Something doesn't add up here.
Is it simply a matter of temporary delays because staff are being retrained, computer systems recalibrated and administrative processes reorganized, as Legal Aid Ontario says? Or is the provincially funded agency deliberately slowing down payments to stay within its budget?
To its credit, Ontario has recently moved to make legal aid more financially sustainable through increased funding and rule changes. But as Attorney General Chris Bentley pursues his commitment to "renew" legal aid, he can't let the existing system — which low-income Ontarians rely on — fall to pieces while the transformation takes place.
Bentley sees the delayed payments as "unacceptable" and says "the situation will be rectified immediately." That is welcome news. The poor and criminals may not be the most popular of clients but our justice system must treat them equally. For that to happen, they need access to legal representation.

Journal 23Feb2018
It's snowing right now.
It's only the second time this year. My high desert didn't get any snow during the winter. It got a very light snow a week or so ago. And now this spring snow is heavy enough to cover the street. Maybe a quarter of an inch. By the looks of it, there was a coyote checking things out earlier. No other signs on the street, there's been no traffic yet. I've been watching for a couple of hours. Well, I did take a shower in there somewhere.
I doubt my raven friend will be over for blueberries. I'm going to stay inside for breakfast. I'm thinking chicken quesadilla. I finally found some of the really good grapefruit juice, so I can do the citrus mix. One part ruby red grapefruit juice, one part good orange juice. And I don't believe in small juice glasses, I use a regular water glass.
Anyway, back to the snow. The first edges of dawn are beginning to touch the sky and the snow is shining bright.
I really like the snow.
I grew up in the desert. Phoenix from two to ten, my high desert after. Snow is rare in my high desert, unheard of in Phoenix. When I was a kid, the family would go to Flagstaff or the North Rim for a snow day. Playing with my stepsibs, the was fun. They're older than I, but the snow made it all fun. Sometimes we'd go back to Arkansas for Christmas, there was usually snow there. So yes, I really like the snow.
I think this needs hot chocolate.
May your day be blessed.

An exhibition called 'Who Do You Think They Are?' goes on display at The Forum in Norwich from Monday 13 March to Saturday 1 April 2017.
This is an exhibition looking for answers as well as providing tips for family history fans keen to learn how to identify unknown and long forgotten faces and places in family photographs.
It also includes a special unknown faces memorial sculpture in The Forum's Gallery where visitors can add photographs of their unknown relatives. Norfolk based artist, Alison Atkins, has created the memorial art installation which reflects a tree-like formation to reference the family tree and will act as a place of reflection.
Members of the public are invited to bring in their unknown family photographs and The Forum team will scan the photographs and hand the original back to visitors. Alternatively, images can be received via email at email@example.com and added to the memorial.
A further highlight of the exhibition is the inclusion of Norfolk artist and historian, Andrew Tatham's, 'A Group Photograph', a culmination of 21 years of research and creation based on a First World War photograph which featured his great grandfather. Andrew is delivering a talk at The Forum on Monday 20 March at 6pm about how he found the families of all 46 men featured in the photograph which led to a major exhibition in Ypres and a book. The talk entitled 'A Group Photograph - Before, Now and In-Between' is free but tickets must be booked in advance via www.eventbrite.co.uk
Richard Fair, Events & Technology Manager at The Forum said: "This is going be a fascinating exhibition. I love looking at old photographs and searching for clues to try and establish more information about the people and their location. I can't wait to see what visitors bring in to add to our memorial."
The exhibition is presented by The Forum in partnership with Let's Talk magazine, Age UK Norwich and the Norfolk Heritage Centre at the Millennium Library.
Staff from Norfolk Heritage Centre will be on hand to help and offer advice of other resources available including Picture Norfolk, FindMyPast and HistoryPin.
The exhibition is open daily between 10am and 4pm from Monday 13 March – Saturday 1 April 2017.

A Battle In The Air
In the country about Tishomingo, Indian Territory, troubles are foretold
by a battle of unseen men in the air. Whenever the sound of conflict is
heard it is an indication that many dead will lie in the fields, for it
heralds battle, starvation, or pestilence. The powerful nation that lived
here once was completely annihilated by an opposing tribe, and in the
valley in the western part of the Territory there are mounds where
hundreds of men lie buried. Spirits occupy the valley, and to the eyes of
the red men they are still seen, at times, continuing the fight.
In May, 1892, the last demonstration was made in the hearing of John
Willis, a United States marshal, who was hunting horse-thieves. He was
belated one night and entered the vale of mounds, for he had no scruples
against sleeping there. He had not, in fact, ever heard that the region
was haunted. The snorting of his horse in the middle of the night awoke
him and he sprang to his feet, thinking that savages, outlaws, or, at
least, coyotes had disturbed the animal. Although there was a good moon,
he could see nothing moving on the plain. Yet the sounds that filled the
air were like the noise of an army, only a trifle subdued, as if they
were borne on the passing of a wind. The rush of hoofs and of feet, the
striking of blows, the fall of bodies could be heard, and for nearly an
hour these fell rumors went across the earth. At last the horse became so
frantic that Willis saddled him and rode away, and as he reached the edge
of the valley the sounds were heard going into the distance. Not until he
reached a settlement did he learn of the spell that rested on the place.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), which includes Two-factor authentication (2FA), in Exchange Server and Office 365, is designed to protect against account and email compromise.
Microsoft has evaluated recent reports of a potential bypass of 2FA. We have determined that the technique described is not a vulnerability and the potential bypass does not exist on properly configured systems.
The reported technique does not pose a risk to Exchange Server or Office 365:
- In Exchange Server, authentication configuration settings for client endpoints are not shared across protocols. Supported authentication mechanisms are configured independently on a per protocol endpoint basis. Multi-Factor Authentication in Exchange Server can be enabled in multiple ways, including OAuth. Before implementing MFA with Exchange Server it is important that all client protocol touchpoints are identified and configured correctly.
- In Office 365, when Azure MFA is enabled within a tenant, it is applied to all supported client protocol endpoints. Exchange Web Services (EWS) is an Office 365 client endpoint which is enabled. Outlook on the Web (OWA) and Outlook client access are also enabled in Office 365. Office 365 users may experience a small delay in activation of MFA on all protocols due to propagation of configuration settings and credential cache expiration.
Additional information on enabling OAuth in Office 365 and Exchange Server can be found on Office.com and MSDN.

5 Easy Recipes To Harness The Amazingness Of Almonds!
Almonds are one of the world's healthiest foods, providing protein and a long list of whole-body benefits. These teardrop-shaped nuts, which are actually considered stone fruits (like apricots and cherries), are good for the heart, bones, teeth and the brain. Almonds alkalize the body and help to add healthy fat to your diet, while lowering the bad cholesterol and decreasing the rise of insulin and blood sugar post meals.
Having grown up in an Indian family, I was always given a handful of soaked and peeled almonds in the morning before heading off to school, because Ayuervedic beliefs claim that almonds increase intellectual functioning and help to create a sense of calmness and clarity.
Here are five easy-to-make tasty recipes bursting with all the benefits of almonds, without the unnecessary preservatives and toxic additives found in their store bought counterparts:
1. Almond milk
Almond milk and other nut milks are becoming increasingly popular as many people are either intolerant of animal based dairy or have been reading the most updated literature stating the health costs weigh out the pros of consumption. You should definitely start making your own homemade almond milk, because it's easy, contains very few ingredients and won't have the unnecessarily dangerous ingredients found in most store-bought almonds milks!
Yields 32 ounces, or 4 cups
- 1 cup raw organic almonds
- 4 cups filtered water
- 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
- 1/2-1 teaspoon organic raw blue agave*
Place 1 cup raw almonds in blender with a cup of boiling hot water, let sit for 35 minutes.
Add 3 cups of filtered cold water, vanilla extract and raw blue agave into blender and blend until frothy.
Pour mixture through a very small sieve. You can use all the non liquid as almond flour to bake with later.
*Agave can be replaced with honey, maple syrup or dates!
2. Chia seed pudding
Chia Seeds have been around for a long time, they were a staple part of the Aztec and Mayan diet. These little seeds can be eaten raw, added to smoothies, or sprinkled on top of salads, but my favorite is as a breakfast or dessert pudding — using my homemade almond milk of course!
Yields 1 serving (or 2 small servings)
- 1 cup of homemade almond milk
- 3 tablespoons organic certified chia seeds
Pour 1 cup of Homemade Organic Vanilla Almond Milk into a small bowl, add 3 heaping spoonfuls of chia seeds stir for about 1 minute.
Let rest for about 2 minutes, then stir again for about a minute. Let rest for 4-5 minutes, stir again for about a minute. Continue stirring at regular intervals until you achieve a desired consistency. You can add fruits or raw nuts on top and enjoy, or place in fridge and eat later!
3. Morning green smoothie
Smoothies are everywhere these days, but are expensive and seemingly silly to not just make at home.
Yields 1 tall serving
- 4 ounces homemade organic vanilla almond milk
- 4 ounces fresh young coconut water
- 2 scoops of fresh young coconut meat
- one handful of organic raw kale
- one handful of organic raw spinach
- handful of frozen strawberries
- Optional: 1/4 of a raw avocado
Place liquids in the blender first, then add the other ingredients and blend on "smoothie" option (if your blender has this) or just until the consistency you desire is reached.
If you need to add more liquid, put a tiny bit more coconut water or cold filtered water!
4. Almond butter
What can't you spread almond butter on? Stop buying this kitchen must-have, and make it yourself!
Yields: 1 heaping jar
- 2 cups unsalted almonds
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- dash of vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread almonds across a baking sheet and roast in oven for 10 minutes. After they've been roasted, pour almonds into a food processor and process on low for about 15 minutes, scraping the sides down intermittently.
Process for about 5 more minutes, until the desired consistency is achieved. Add salt, vanilla and honey to taste, and process for another minute.
Your almond butter is now smooth and ready to be scooped into a jar, placed in fridge or stored at room temperature!
5. Matcha green tea latte
Matcha green tea is one of the most nutritious naturally occurring beverages. It's definitely an acquired taste, one that I love just plain whisked in hot water, but it's absolutely delicious as a latte with homemade almond milk.
- 1/2 teaspoon of ceremonial grade matcha tea powder
- boiled water
- steamed organic homemade vanilla almond milk
Steam almond milk in a steamer if you have one, otherwise heat the milk and stir vigorously until frothy.
Sift 1 tsp of matcha green tea powder into a cup. Melt the matcha by adding 2 ounces of hot water and stirring matcha until it becomes a thick paste.
Pour 6 ounces of steamed milk into a teacup or mug, and add melted matcha tea paste to the milk. Scoop the foam off the top and sprinkle on some matcha dust for good measure!

World Cup blow for Windies as Narine pulls out
West Indies Cricket World Cup chances suffered a major blow with mystery spinner Sunil Narine withdrawing from the squad for the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.cricket Updated: Feb 06, 2015 13:58 IST
West Indies Cricket World Cup chances suffered a major blow with mystery spinner Sunil Narine withdrawing from the squad for the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
According to a release from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) on Tuesday , Narine "requires more time to be able to confidently bowl for a sustained period in international cricket with his new action".
While the Trinidadian mystery spinner has not been under any cloud of official sanction from the International Cricket Council, his action was deemed on two occasions during the Indian Champions League T20 tournament last September to be illegal.
It was ruled to be in violation of the 15-degree allowance of straightening of the bowling arm and he was banned from appearing for his franchise, the Kolkata Knight Riders, in the final.
Narine declined an offer from the WICB to assist with remedial work to his action and pursued the corrective process on his own.
His first competitive foray since the ICL experience was the Nagico Super50 regional 50-over tournament in Trinidad and Tobago which concluded on Sunday.
The slow bowler returned astonishing figures of six for nine off eight overs to ensure a comprehensive victory for the hosts over Guyana in the final at the Queen's Park Oval. He was also the most successful bowler in the tournament with 12 wickets.
Despite these encouraging numbers, Narine was not entirely satisfied with his rehabilitation.
"Going to the World Cup is a little too much, too soon and, after consulting the WICB, for both West Indies and my sake we have decided to delay my return to international cricket until I am 100 percent confident in all that I do," he stated in the WICB release.
His surprise pull-out of the squad has been supported by the Board "as to risk exposure to the intensity of the Cricket World Cup would be both unfair to him and the West Indies squad".
Despite this official explanation, endorsed by the player himself, there is widespread speculation that his action is in some way related to the omission of fellow Trinidadians Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard from the One-Day International squads for both the current series in South Africa and the World Cup. Bravo was the captain and Pollard a member of the West Indies squad that pulled out of the tour of India last October in a dispute over money.
Bravo was subsequently replaced as captain by 23-year-old Jason Holder and has lost his place in the team altogether. West Indies play their first match of the World Cup against Ireland on February 16 at Nelson in New Zealand. A replacement for Narine is expected to be named by the WICB shortly.

DIVING blind, hand over hand down a ship's anchor chain in the murky waters of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam in 1968, using only those hands to search for explosives or other weapons, was not a job for the faint hearted.
Forty four years after they participated in a highly dangerous operation code-named SEALORDS, six former Royal Australian Navy Clearance Divers have been honoured with a United States Presidential Unit Citation signed by the late US President Richard Nixon.
SEALORDS was an acronym for Southeast Asia Lake, Ocean, River, and Delta Strategy and was aimed at disrupting enemy supply lines through Cambodia and the delta between August 1968 and March 1969.
