Someone last week asked me my age. I was silent for a minute (frankly stunned), trying to decide how to politely answer this rather blunt question with grace and honesty.
Admitting one's age is delicate. When younger, we want people to think that we look more mature than our real age. And then at some point in adulthood when we are mature, we start to hope others think we are younger, and we'll do whatever it takes to look younger.
This Edamame and Brown Rice with Soy and Citrus is a recipe that thumbs its nose at the aging clock. It's a simple side dish with nutritious ingredients, some that might actually help slow down the aging process. And when you'remy age (although I do not care to divulge that exact number), that's a good thing.
Let's take a look at the ingredients and how they might seemingly turn back time:
Brown rice- a whole grain, high in selenium and other antioxidants that help fight inflammation in the body. Aging brings on all kinds of inflammation. (I sure know getting older inflames me!)
Edamame- contains a naturally occurring antioxidant called daidzein that has been shown to activate a protein linked to regulating the aging process.
Orange zest and juice- the vitamin C helps boost collagen production. Less collagen production, more sag, and no one likes sag.
the ingredients in the Eden Shake:
Sesame seeds- a good protein source, and high in omega-3 fats, a kind of fat that helps lessen inflammation in the body. A colleague asked me last week how a couple of sesame seeds could be of any nutritional value. I replied, reminding her that our overall health is the sum of all its parts. Even though we may only eat a sprinkling of sesame seeds at a time, they too add to the whole equation. But I digress…
Nori- (the green sheet that holds sushi together) is a high source of protein, omega-3, fiber, vitamin C and A…all really, really good stuff!
Shiso- a cousin to mint, aka beefsteak or Japanese basil; I'm uncertain of the exact nutritional value, but based on the gorgeous purple hue and knowing that it is an herb, there has got to be some nutritional goodness to it.
Edamame and Brown Rice with Soy and Citrus
1 cup brown rice (we used Braggadocio Rice from McKaskle Family Farm)
1 ½ cup frozen shelled edamame
Zest and juice of 1 orange (about 1 tsp. zest, ¼ cup juice)
1 Tbsp. soy sauce (we used Ozark Forest's Shiitake Mushroom Soy Sauce)
1 Tbsp. Eden Shake Sesame and Sea Vegetable Seasoning (see note below)
- Cook brown rice according to package directions.
- Whisk together zest, orange juice, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
- Combine edamame, the sauce mixture and cooked rice in a larger bowl.
- To serve, generously sprinkle Eden Shake on top.
Note- I learned of this terrific seasoning in an issue of Cooking Light Magazine. If you have a hard time finding Eden Shake, try subbing a mixture of 1 tsp each: sesame seeds, crushed nori sheets and sea salt.

Sachie's kitchen
Ever since I was a little girl I remember loving Japanese food. My very first memory of it was being introduced to sushi by my aunt, uncle and cousins at a little sushi stand in a local shopping center in Melbourne, Australia. I must have been about twelve years old but I'll never forget the experience; Popping the tiny little pink parcel of salmon nigiri into my mouth with a dot of wasabi some pickled ginger and soy. I remember the smooth silky texture of the fresh raw pretty pink salmon and the sweetness of the fluffy white rice. I remember my cousin showing me how to snap the wooden chopsticks apart and mix the wasabi into the soy. This was the start of my obsession with sushi and Asian cuisine. As a twelve year old, sushi was not only very tasty but also a lot of fun and still to this day I find the same enjoyment when I go to a Sushi restaurant.
Over the last ten years in Israel sushi has taken off and grown to become one of the most popular cuisines eaten by Israelis in a restaurant setting. Back in 2005 there was only a handful of sushi restaurants in Jerusalem, and nothing to write home about either (literally, as I was on my year abroad in Israel after school)- and yet just a little less than ten years later there are more than ten different sushi restaurants in the city, the majority of them being kosher. Tel-Aviv too can boast well over one-hundred restaurants that serve sushi with around 20% being kosher.
Israel in-fact has the third highest per capita consumption of Sushi in the World! That's huge! In laymen's terms basically in order of highest sushi consumption Japan is first, followed by New York and then Tel-Aviv!
Eat your sushi-filled hearts out rest-of-the-World!
Israelis just love eating sushi, so much so that to celebrate the sushi-eating culture that's been cultivated here, Israel hosts an annual sushi making competition with around 30 Israeli sushi restaurants competing for the top prize. Over 500 people attend the competition every year including Japan's ambassador to Israel Ambassador Shigeo Matsutomi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wpKFYQFQO0
It with this obsession that Israelis seem to have with Sushi and Asian cuisine that The Food Channel has introduced the latest cooking show and celebrity chef to its viewing repertoire; Sachie's kitchen.
Sachie is a Japanese born chef who lives in New Zealand and I recently had the pleasure of interviewing her all about Japanese food and her personal food Journey.
Sachie's food obsession began at a young age but it wasn't until she moved to New Zealand where she found herself sharing an apartment with some Japanese chefs that things started to really take off. There they taught her 'a variety of invaluable techniques' and particularly 'how to be creative using domestic appliances and ingredients'.
On her show, Sachie goes through different Japanese recipes, mainly noodles and fish and beef dishes but occasionally Sushi makes an appearance. I asked Sachie if Sushi is considered an everyday food in Japan. She explained to me that growing up she would only eat sushi '3-4 times a year because it was very expensive and usually was eaten to celebrate an occasion.' In Israel many people would consume Sushi 3-4 times in one month! Sachie believes that sushi has become a kind of 'healthy fast food'- A trend that is reflected all over the World and Israel is no exception!
Sachie's show is really all about making Japanese food simple. She believes that 'the biggest myth about Japanese cuisine is that it's complicated- because of the beautiful presentation'. Her 'whole mission is demystifying Asian food for people so they can cook at home and enjoy the meal with friends and family'. Personally I love watching Sachie cook up a storm with her Japanese- New Zealand accent which reflects the style of cooking which is often a mix of Asian and Western recipes.
Every show starts with an adventure to a market or factory in Japan, followed by a trip to the local supermarket in New Zealand and then finally an explanation of how to assemble the dish at home. With her beautiful bubbly personality as passion for food and life that comes through the screen of the TV (her philosophy is 'Happy food-happy home') Sachie is slowly taking over and becoming one of the first mainstream celebrity chefs to grace our screens with Japanese cuisine- and I for one love it!
Sachie now owns the largest Asian cooking school in Australisia (That's Australia and New Zealand for those who were wondering) with over 13,000 students in the last five years alone!
As for her career aspirations there seems to be a lot in the works.
Sachie's cooking school in New Zealand is doubling in size and she also plans to host more TV shows featuring different Asian cuisines. She also has 'something very exciting in the way of consumer products range' but when I asked her what exactly she told me with a figurative wink 'I can't tell you too much about that just yet….shhh'.
As for coming to visit us over here in Israel she said she'd never been but it was 'on her list of things to do' and if an opportunity came up she wouldn't say no! Perhaps we could convince her to come and help judge the next Kikkoman Sushi Master competition here!
We wish Sachie the best of luck in all her endeavors! I for one will continue to enjoy Sachie's easy no fuss approach to simplifying Japanese cuisine with her warmth and effervescence coming through the screen while I put my feet up at the end of a long day!
You can stay updated with Sachie's adventures via her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sachieskitchen and watch her show most days at around 4pm on The Food Channel.

Clementine DeVore spent ten years trapped in a cellar, pinned down by willow roots, silenced and forgotten.
Now she's out and determined to uncover who put her in that cellar and why.
When Clementine was a child, dangerous and inexplicable things started happening in New South Bend. The townsfolk blamed the fiendish people out in the Willows and burned their homes to the ground. But magic kept Clementine alive, walled up in the cellar for ten years, until a boy named Fisher sets her free. Back in the world, Clementine sets out to discover what happened all those years ago. But the truth gets muddled in her dangerous attraction to Fisher, the politics of New South Bend, and the Hollow, a fickle and terrifying place that seems increasingly temperamental ever since Clementine reemerged.
I'll be frank, I was not impressed by Brenna Yovanoff's latest release, Fiendish. The author definitely has some writing talent–because her writing–particularly the descriptions–were gorgeous, but they did not make up for the cons.
Three Reasons Why Fiendish Didn't Work For Me
1. The storyline bored me to death. Honestly, watching a game of golf would be more interesting than this. At the start of the book, I was really intrigued and curious as to why Clementine was trapped in a cellar for all these years, and why on earth her eyes were sewn shut. I mean, that's just seriously creeeepy and messed up. However, the story evidently becomes more and more progressively boring due to one main reason: the pace. This book moved at such a slow pace for me, particularly because we weren't getting anywhere. Sure, there was a great hook at the start, but there wasn't any other big motive that made me want to continue. I did end up skimming a few chapters towards the end.
2. The romance was a complete failure. Clementine was saved from the cellar by this guy called Fisher and surprise, surprise, he's the future love interest for Clementine. Who saw that one coming? *eye roll* Anyhow, the romance kicked off a little too early, and ended up being an awful case of instant-love. Furthermore, I hated Fisher. He wasn't even a decent guy, he acted like a total fake and was a jackass in general. Just bleh, not attractive at all.
3. Half the things in this novel made no sense to me whatsoever. One of the major things that didn't have any logic was Clementine and Shiny's reaction to Clementine's sudden reappearance and acceptance. Clementine girl, can't just pop out of no where and lead a normal life just like that. Your eyes were sewn shut and you were trapped inside a cellar for years and YEARS; and now that you are out, you're just going to go shopping? Things like this simply made no sense to me, and I spent more time trying to make sense of these illogical scenarios rather than actually trying to enjoy the read.
In all:
Unfortunately, Fiendish didn't end up being my next best book friend. It certainly had a huge potential, but it honestly just felt wasted in my opinion.
~Thank you Simon and Schuster Australia for sending me this copy!~

Due to changes in the law especially regarding the General Data Protection Regulations this site is deprocated and is in the process of being transferred to the Brown Edge Parish council website
Brown Edge Parish Council has decided, unanimously, to create a Neighbourhood Plan to ensure that both local residents and the Parish Council do have more of a say in future developments in the whole Parish area. The Council reluctantly accepts that it has to comply with the housing allocation it has been set by the SMDC but it insists on having a say on what type of housing it needs and where it should be located.
The Neighbourhood Plan is the way in which this can be achieved.
If you wish to see when a meeting of the Neighbourhood Plan Committee takes place you can look at the diary (to the right) and click on the dates marked. all committee or working groups dates will be on there. All committees are open to the public and normal council rules apply.

It's Time For Some Blackberry Sorbet!
The way in which I came up with a name for this new cell phone purse style popped up in my head almost automatically! For some reason, the color of the trim kept reminding me of a sorbet, and with the exterior of the purse being black... and the perfect size for a Blackberry smartphone, it made the name, Blackberry Sorbet, only fitting!

It was hot a humid in Canada.
Plus with all the jet lag and work, it was very hard to get out and run. Only had a few days to run before the Amy Thompson Run on Memorial day, too.
Now THAT was HOT and HUMID!
I was really out of my element there. I thought I only had a weakness for hills, but after this last week, I realized how spoiled I am living in Southern California where the weather is usually dry.
But now I'm back from my trip and feel like I can sleep for a week. I didn't get to run that much either, so that might be another reason for feeling so tired.
Hmmm… as for sleeping all next week, seems to me that I still need to wake up for my runs.

By Jen Calonita, Narrated by Kristin Condon
5 CDs, 5.25 Hours
Gilly isn't a bad kid, but she is a thief. It's not like she has a real choice…she has five brothers and sisters and lives in a boot. True, her father is a master cobbler, but there's no longer a demand in the kingdom for shoes made by hand. Magic slippers are all the rage. So Gilly HAS to steal…her thievery provides extra food to keep her siblings fed and healthy. And if she steals something special for a birthday gift here and there…well, it's not like the stuck up royals will even notice that something is gone. They'll just replace it, right?
But when Gilly steals from the wrong royal, in the wrong shop, she's found out. And since it's her third offense, she's sentenced to Fairy Tale Reform School by Headmistress Flora, formerly the Evil Stepmother. Princess Ella even signed the order. There's nothing Gilly or her siblings or even her parents can do about it.
But Fairy Tale Reform School — FTRS for short — isn't anything like Gilly expected. Sure, their mission is "To turn wicked delinquents and former villains into future heroes", and Gilly expects to be stuck in a dungeon and fed bread and water while being lectured about being good. But there is no dungeon (for the students anyway) and instead of being stuffed in the toe of a boot with all five siblings, Gilly has a spacious room with only one roommate, delicious and plentiful food, and classes on everything from magic to history to sports.
Of course, Gilly doesn't like following rules, even if they do kind of make sense. And she wants to go home to take care of her siblings; even the promise that they can visit her doesn't make things much better. She does start making some friends though, and as they pool their information together about what they know about the school and how they might escape, they discover a mystery. Who is trying to sabotage the school? Are their lives in danger? Gilly and her new friends Jax, Kayla and Maxine may be reluctant students of FTRS, but they will have to put their heads together and use all the somewhat illegal skills they have to get to the bottom of this mystery.
The audio recording of Flunked was quite charming. (heh!) Flunked is a first-person story, so everything is relayed through Gilly. The narrator has the perfect voice for Gilly…young, a little bit inquisitive, scrappy…and reluctantly impressed with her new surroundings. Her voice for other characters, seen through Gilly's eyes, are varied by accent, pacing and attitude. Letters from Gilly to her family, notes from teachers and The Happily Ever After Scrolls–updates on the action at the school, as reported by a nosy reporter for FairyWeb- enhance the story and give an outside view of the action.
Flunked is the first of the Fairy Tale Reform School trilogy, followed by Charmed and Tricked. I would recommend the series for kids who like an off-beat take on fairy tales, an anti-hero heroine, or just an entertaining read. Fourth through seventh grade readers would enjoy the book, while the audio would probably work with second grade and through adults.
Some read alikes include Sarah Mlynowski's Whatever After series, Shannon Hale's Ever After High series, Soman Chainani's School for Good and Evil series, and Suzanne Selfor's Ever After High series (apparently a popular series title!)

So pick up book, or the whole series, and enjoy! If you like it, let us know!
As always, if you need help finding books or audio books to read, ask one of our librarians. We're always happy to help!

Powered by PornMD
Porno is an adventure for sexy girls like Miriama Kunkelova. She's a hot, blonde European party girl with a tiny waist and a full set of titties that will drive you wild. She loves getting naked in public and doing dirty things with strangers (who may or may not actually be porn stars, but that's all part of the fantasy). When this hottie's big blue eyes are looking up at the camera in a gonzo-style clip, it's going to melt your pants right off of you. She can work a dick like a dream, and her deepthroating skills are way above par.
Her tall body is thin and tight, just like Jenna Haze or Sasha Grey. While she might not have as much experience in front of the camera as those two legends, Miriama learned a thing or two about how to pose, and she really gets into teasing with her long legs and a tiny pair of panties hidden underneath a miniskirt. She's got an ass that looks amazing in a thong, and if you'd like her to, she'll even give it a few spanks. Miriama is a sex-crazed kitten on the prowl for orgasms, and nothing is going to stand in her way of achieving her goal.

Neighborhoodr Spreads Far And Wide
Crowdsourced neighborhood feeds are proving such a great idea, purveyor Neigborhoodr has branched out the service to 25 cities outside its New York stomping ground. The wonderful news has been posted on Neighborhoodr HQ, whose avowed mission is to:
"Neighborhoodr is a local neighborhood blog network where anyone can quickly and easily post about what's happening in their neighborhood without having to log in or register.
Have news you'd like to share about your neighborhood? Just use the share buttons along the top of the page."
The new cities are:
Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, Memphis, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle.
The expansion came with a message from the Neighborhoodr team:
"Over time, cities will have their individual neighborhoods represented, as the demand for that neighborhood presents itself. Tell us what's happening in your neighborhood by clicking one of the links at the top of each city page. If we receive or see enough content from any particular neighborhood, we'll launch a neighborhood page devoted to that hood."
Neighborhoodr was launcheded by Richard Blakely and Andrew De Rosa in their quest to create the world's "only" hyperlocal blog that leverages the Tumblr platform. It seems to be working and since the founding team are seasoned media veterans, neighborhoods might just become a lot more interesting thanks to them.

Excavating fun every step of the way
Spelunky is one of the most wonderful indie success stories you can find. It was previously released back in 2009 as a side project by Derek Yu, a developer who has dedicated much of the last decade of his life to the indie game scene, helping out other developers and generally being a force for good. After the original version of Spelunky proved a roaring success, Yu decided to go ahead and create a full-blown commercial edition of the game – and so we catch up to the present day, where Spelunky is ready and waiting for you to take up the challenge.
What makes this hard-as-nails randomly-generated platformer so wildly entertaining and worthwhile is the progression system. Unlike a lot of other games, you don't gain upgrades and powers along the way that make you stronger. Spelunky is all about building up your own skills and understanding of the game, and then putting these into practice slowly but surely. It's rare to find a video game experience this satisfying, and it's the sort of game that should really be a part of every gamer's collection.
You play as an adventurer who has discovered the entrance to an ancient tomb. When he enters, he finds himself trapped in a constantly shifting world filled with traps and monsters where, when he dies, he's simply dumped back at the start. The only way to escape is to reach the end of the caves – but each time he starts the journey over again, the route is completely different and he needs to feel his way to the exit all over again.
Spelunky is a game about dying over and over and over again. When you first begin, games will last around a minute each. You'll get hit by flying arrows. A spider will drop on your head. A mistimed jump will place you firmly on the top of some deadly spikes. There are so many ways to die in Spelunky, and you'll no doubt explore every single one of them in your time with the game.
But what makes Spelunky so different, and so exciting, is that throughout play you'll slowly build up your own skills, and work out the best way to put each piece of equipment into practice: the best way to sneak past traps and claim the treasures; the best way to deal with that annoying enemy that keeps knocking you back. Slowly but surely, and without even realizing it, you go from dying over and over again in the first world, to being able to dash through with relative ease and reach the halfway point of the game before finding the going tough.
And this is very much a game that you'll want to keep playing over and over again. Because the world is randomly generated each time you play, no two runs are the same – and I really mean that. The situations you find yourself in are so wildly different each time, and Spelunky's replayability is just completely through the roof. There are only 16 levels to blast your way through, but the game throws so much variety at you, that you'll want to constantly weave your way through each one time and time again.
That variety I mentioned – there's just so much to see and do in Spelunky. You've got bombs that can help you forge a path (or dig up some lovely treasure), and ropes that allow you to climb back up to where you came from. Damsels can be saved along the way to earn your health back, while picking up the golden idols that you can find dotted around the place leads to an Indiana Jones moment. Every now and again you'll also come across a shop filled with goodies to buy – although you can choose to steal them if you want. Warning: stealing from the shopkeeper is a dangerous game.
But it's the underlying secrets and mechanics that really make Spelunky so very special. There are special items you can collect which will greatly enhance your journey, and finding these is always such a risk vs. reward scenario. You'll find sacrificial pedestals on which to place things, and experimenting with that is great fun. Certain items can be used in certain situations to open up secret exits. There's just far too much for me to mention here, and quite honestly, I wouldn't want to spoil it for you. Exploring the real depths of Spelunky is a whole game in itself.
Put it this way – I've played the game for 20+ hours, and I've still not seen huge parts of the game. In fact, I've still not even reached the end of the game – and this is an experience that you can potentially play through in around 10 minutes if you're good enough. For me, exploring what Spelunky has to offer, and building up my treasure score so that I place as highly as possible on the online leaderboards is way more interesting than trying to get to the finish line.
The PC version of Spelunky is special in that it plays host to a "Daily Challenge" mode. Each day a new world is generated, and everybody plays through the same level – however, when you die, it's game over and you can't give it another shot. In this way, it's like a really tense and utterly scary version of the main experience. You'll take fewer risks and move more slowly, and when you do need to take a risk, you'll genuinely hold your breath as you make a deadly jump or dash by a crazy shopkeeper. Daily Challenge mode makes the PC version of the Spelunky the far superior experience.
The only real downside to Spelunky is the tacked on multiplayer. There's local co-op and deathmatch modes, but neither is really that much fun. Co-op is silly for a short while, but the problem is that everyone just gets in each other's way, and you'll quickly wish you were flying solo. Deathmatch mode, on the other hand, is incredibly throwaway and not worth bothering with. There's no online play either, so unless you're happy to grab a few Xbox 360 controllers and sit around your PC monitor, you probably won't bother.
But Spelunky is all about the gargantuan, twisted, wonderful single player excavation, plumbing the depths time and time again, digging up hilarious death, and wangling your way onto the high score tables. It's impossible not to adore this game, and it's fantastic as a social experience too, battling friends to get the top treasure score and laughing and joking about your adventures. You need Spelunky in your life, there's no question about it.

The cost of my thrifting for the past few months (since I first cleaned out my closet and began working on replenishing my wardrobe) has been $134.41. This cost includes dozens of shirts, three skirts, leggings, a hat, a leather jacket, and more. Today I bought 2 more pairs of leggings on eBay, which would make the total $159.39; I'll be sure to post pictures of those when they arrive!
I also took some meh pictures of my FOTD. The sunlight is bouncing off of the snow outside, so getting the lighting right has been a bit tricky. Regardless, I thought you might enjoy something that isn't my usual cat-eyes-and-bright-lips look. Please note that MAC Chromagraphic pencils are not always recommended for use around the eyes or lips.
BASE: Vapour Organic Beauty Atmosphere Luminous foundation in 090, Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer in Sx02

Things To Hunt For Whilst Thrifting
as of December 30, 2012:
- a plain black blazer that doesn't make me look like a Golden Girl.
- leather pants or shorts.
- just leather. A11 teh 1eathurz!!1!one
- a big, black hat.
- a long plaid skirt--softer and maybe less "formal" than the Salvo one.
- day-to-day black boots or clogs, preferably tacky or butch.
- tall, no-or-small heel boots for a DIY project.
- denim pants and jackets to mod

Fico dilemma how to be "pattern" European in good relations with Russia
During his second term in office Slovakia prime minister Rober Fico break up with his image of the "black sheep" of European Community. However his policy of "the model European social democratic governement" is in danger because of the Ukrainian crisis.
In the internal policy the ruling party Smer and Fico as it's leader has opinion of rather populistic. It seem that that populist approach to internal policy is transferred into foreign policy. Since the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis Slovakia try to keep the good relations with all fighting side. But does it possible in the longer perspective?
In his first time in office (2006-2010) Fico looks on Russia with unhidden sympathy. His statements during five days war in 2008 give rather pro-Russian impression. In this time Slovakia was on the carpet of EU. Critical exacerbation in relations with Hungary and undemocratic laws in the internal policy caused the image of the "black sheep of EU". However the Community can't critize Fico as sharply as now teach the Orban governement because of still very fast temp of economical development of Slovakia.
Now Fico seem to be in trouble. His moderate and friendly policy towards Russia has the long rooting in Slovak and also Czech political traditions. Both for Czech and Slovak nations Russia not only is not historical enemy but there exist the long history of sympathy between these Slavic states. From the other side there aren't common history of Slovakia and Ukraine. During from Polish perspective Ukraine as the former territory of Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth constitute the historical arena of influence from Slovakian perspective the diffrences between Russian and Ukrainian nations aren't such obviously. In the same way the right of Ukrainian right to the indenpendent policy and to not belong to the Russian sphere of influence semm not to be the fact included by foreign policy makers. However the centre right-wing narrations assuming the support for both traditional sphere of influence what means the Western Balcans and the states of the Eastern Partenrship gained probably greater understanding in Slovak foreign policy. But it doesn't mean the readiness to cool relations with Russia. The Slovakia needs the "golden middle". Is it possible to be the better Russia friend, Ukraine friend in the hard core of integration. Slovak people must believe that the prime minister Fico know the answer.
But if not? At the beginning of june Fico was in Moscow. Putin and Miedwiediew welcome him by the traditional Zdrastvuj. He declared Slovak opposition towars EU sanctions. But does it possible that during EU summit in july Slovakia will be vote in favour of sanctions. According to Russian journalist it is more than possible. Would like to be in good relations with everybody? You won't have been any friends.

925 | insidetracker
925 and InsideTracker have teamed up to bring you, as a 925 Athlete, high-end science based training feedback through blood testing. Inside Tracker provides your 925 coach with the results of your blood test and gives them the information they need to dial in your nutrition, training, and recovery so you can maximize your performance. The tests are set up in tiers, or pick-and-choose packages, so you may go as in-depth as you wish, or, via guidance from your coach, pick a few specific items to watch that will help you the most.
Take a look below and remember to use Code: 'CrossFit925' when purchasing your test package.
if you can't measure it, how can you know if it's changing? In CrossFit, we are obsessed with numbers: times, weights, distances, power output, etc. We use numbers to document our performances so we can compare them with our previous results to see how far we've come.

In This Section
Food safety and hygiene is an important regulatory function of Council. Devonport City Council is committed to ensuring that businesses that prepare and have foods for public sale and consumption meet the requirements of the Food Act 2003 and all appropriate State and National standards and legislation.
The types of food and where the food will be sold from is a determining factor in which type of registration is necessary. There are three types of registration; Notification of a Food Business, Temporary Food Premises and Food Registration.
Council's Environmental Health Officers are available to discuss and assist food businesses to select and fill in the correct paper-work and/or help with advice on the design, layout and establishment of new businesses or kitchen up-grades.
Regulation of food businesses includes unannounced inspections for compliance with the appropriate state and national standards and legislation. Serious non-compliances may result in warnings, improvement notices, fines, even prohibition orders or legal action taken against the business.
Businesses and individuals that sell pre-packaged, shelf stable foods that are not processed (cut, handled or prepared in any way) and that do not require temperature control are required to simply notify Council of their intention to trade by completing a Food Business Notification Form(PDF, 156KB).
There is no charge for a Notification, however, the appropriate paper-work must be filled in and approved by Devonport City Council before trading may commence.
This type of registration includes businesses or individuals that wish to sell foods from temporary locations such as stalls, sausage sizzles, fairs and markets. Generally the food types sold are higher risk foods which are not pre-packaged, shelf stable and will require temperature control.
Charges apply for this type of registration in accordance with Council's Schedule of Fees and Charges(PDF, 267KB). Registered charities may receive Temporary Food Registration for free.
To obtain a Temporary Food Permit you will need to complete this form(PDF, 122KB).
You will also need to comply with the Guidelines for Temporary Food Stalls.
An annual state-wide Temporary Food Premises Licence option is also available. You must register with your home Council and notify any relevant Council of all intended activities (ie. you may be registered with Devonport City Council but if you attend an event or market within another municipality you are required to also notify them of your intended operation).
This type of registration applies to cafes, restaurants, takeaway shops, home occupations, food vans, clubs and other similar businesses. The registration period runs from 1 July to 30 June, with annual fees are based on Council's Schedule of Fees and Charges(PDF, 267KB).
You will need to complete a Food Business Registration Application Form(PDF, 118KB).
For further information or advice you can contact Council's Environmental Health Department on 03 6424 0511.

Red Right Hand 10 400 Ann Ave Leeds AL 35094 United States
Red Right Hand conspiracy news:Premature Sexual Maturation of Human Children Copyright 1996 Leading Edge Research -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Diet and Degeneration Main Menu --------------------------------------------------------------------------------In 1982, two years after the Reagan-Bush administration was elected, theWhat could be the possible motivation?
February issue of the Journal of the Puerto Rican Medical Association reported
on a growing number of cases of premature sexual development of children, which
included cases of children from one to five years old, male and female, with
enlarged breasts, accelerated puberty, vaginal bleeding in five year old girls,
and other similar problems. If this happened to one of your children, how would you feel?[1]
They discovered that when they took these children off meat and fresh milk, the
symptoms would often regress. According to the report, it was "clearly observed
in 97% of the cases that the appearance of abnormal breast tissue was related
to the consumption of whole milk in the infant group and to the consumption of
local whole milk, poultry and beef in the older group. Obviously, regulations
regarding livestock are not as well enforced in Puerto Rico as in other parts
of the United States, so the dose might have been higher, but these substances
are also present in varying quantities in all meat, egg and dairy products in
the continental United States.[2]
It is apparent by the research reports that the concept of drugs and other
substances in animals affecting humans has been known about for almost 30
years, yet these substances and many more are added to animal feed and injected
into animals today in the United States. The European Economic Community banned
$130 million of U.S. beef imports in 1989 because of hormone implants.[3] Yet,
in spite of this, the public is not told, and they continue to consume these
substances, much to the benefit of the meat, egg, dairy, medical and
pharmaceutical industries. It also tends to cut down on the population, which
is one of the premises of Matrix III, especially the second volume. If you
haven't got M3V2, you're missing out on the entire picture.
Even in the continental United States, we are seeing more and more premature
sexual development in our children. Along with this, doctors are also seeing an
expanding assortment of sexual abberations. Other countries are also
experiencing the same trend. Analysis of the problem in Britain resulted in the
determination that hormone traces in the meat of chemically fattened livestock
are causing British school girls to mature sexually at least three years
earlier than in the past. We will discuss estrogenic chemicals later.
Invariably, doctors (not knowing what the problem really is) blame the problem
on a dysfunction of the child's endocrine system, which is not the case at all.
The problem does not stop with children. Both adults and children in the United
States are experiencing a plethora of behavior disorders connected to uncertain
and confused sexual identities that arise partially from externally induced
hormonal imbalances. We are seeing an increase in sexual abuse of children. It
might be noted here that vaccines are also contributing to the growing problem
of aberrant behavior, conduct disorders, learning disabilities and crime,
including sexually related crimes. This is discussed in another chapter.

Association, Feb 1982.

[3] Europes concern about hormonal implants surfaced after a scandal in Italy
in which a baby food maker injected hormones into beef, made baby food from it
and babies of both sexes developed breasts
...And what, you may ask, has all of this to do with me? A good question.LEPTIN IS A FACTOR THAT TRIGGERS ONSET OF REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION, UCSF STUDY FINDS
Read this associated press release from 1998.
Did anyone see the story Jan 20th 2000, Good Morning America,
about how teenage girls are beginning to menstruate by the age of
EIGHT or NINE? Read on, read on....
Leptin, a naturally occurring hormone found to regulate food intake, appears to be a factor that triggers the onset of reproductive function in laboratory mice, according to the results of a new study by researchers at UC San Francisco. The researchers injected human leptin into normal female mice, who showed several measurable signs of early puberty, the researchers report in the January 3 issue of the journal Science. The mice experienced the mouse equivalent of a menstrual cycle earlier in life, began mating and reproducing earlier and showed physical signs of early maturity, compared to control mice, the researchers reported. "Our conclusion is that leptin is a factor that starts the cascade that leads to reproductive function," said Farid Chehab, PhD, UCSF associate professor of laboratory medicine and lead author of the study. Though it is not known what major factors control the onset of puberty, scientists have theorized that the process may be related to food intake and body fat. For instance, it has been observed that obese girls reach puberty earlier in life, while very lean ballet dancers may experience delayed puberty, Chehab said. In the 1960s and 1970s, researchers postulated that animals begin to reproduce once they have gained enough energy in the form of fat--the so-called critical fat hypothesis, Chehab said. "Our study confirms that theory--that you need to accumulate a certain amount of fat to trigger reproduction," he said. Leptin, it appears, is the element contained in fat that signals to the brain to begin the process that leads to reproduction, he said. Chehab and his colleagues began to investigate the link between leptin and reproduction two years ago when the hormone was first identified. In a study published in early 1996, he and his colleagues found that sterile, obese mice treated with the hormone were able to become pregnant and deliver healthy pups. They concluded that leptin was involved in reproduction, as well as weight control. In the latest study, the researchers injected normal mice with relatively large doses of the hormone when they were 21 days old and just being weaned from their mothers. All of the mice treated with leptin lost weight and ate less, compared to their counterparts, who were injected with a saline solution. Though the leptin-treated mice lost fat, they showed a number of signs of early sexual maturity, the researchers found. "We tricked the brain into thinking the mouse is fat by introducing leptin into the body," Chehab said. "Once the brain received the signal, it switched on reproduction." In normal mice, the first sign of puberty generally begins at 30 days of life with the opening of the vagina, which is sealed at birth. That is followed by the beginning of the estrous cycle, or the equivalent of the human menstrual cycle, Chehab said. Mice only mate during the peak period of this 5- or 6-day cycle and experience peaks and lows in hormones during this time, he said. Among mice treated with leptin, the researchers found that the hormone triggered the opening of the vagina one to four days earlier than in the control mice. The leptin-treated mice also progressed sooner into their first estrous cycle, with five of the 12 leptin-treated mice reaching estrus by day 29. None of the control mice had reached estrus at this point, the researchers reported. In another experiment, the researchers examined both treated and untreated mice for the presence of a copulatory plug, a substance secreted by males that temporarily blocks the vaginal opening. The plug, which is an indicator of sexual activity, was present in 85 percent of the leptin-treated group between 30 and 39 days, compared to just 17 percent in the control group. Forty-six percent of the leptin-treated mice and 42 percent of the control mice became pregnant and delivered healthy pups, the researchers reported. "That tells us that leptin does not interfere with pregnancy," Chehab said. "As would be expected, not all of the mice became pregnant on their first cycle." The researchers then sacrificed the mice to examine their reproductive organs, which generally become larger as the animals mature. In the leptin group, the uteri were 53 percent larger than in the untreated mice, while the ovaries were 37.5 percent larger, the researchers found. Finally, the researchers measured levels of two hormones in the sacrificed mice--gonadotropin luteinizing hormone and estradiol, an estrogen. Among the leptin-treated mice, these hormone levels were lower than in the control mice, as the animals already had completed estrus and were in a resting stage, when hormone levels decrease, Chehab said. Chehab said leptin could be useful in some patients with medical conditions related to reproduction. For instance, it could be helpful in patients with anorexia nervosa, whose menstrual cycles have stopped because of reduced fat stores, he said. However, he said leptin should be applied in humans only after careful clinical trials. Chehab's colleagues in the study are Khalid Mounzih, PhD, UCSF post-doctoral fellow in laboratory medicine; Ronghua Lu, PhD, UCSF assistant research biochemist; and Mary E. Lim, BS, UCSF staff research associate.
Is this simply an unfortunate consequence of hormonally treated meat?
...Or is this not a convenient way to boost the population of the West within the next 20 years?....

There is a giant, abandoned compound in the hills of Santa Monica, California with a mysterious and dark history. Murphy Ranch was built in the 1930s, although today it is graffiti-covered, overgrown, and completely abandoned. It was built to be a self-sustaining compound for Americans to seek refuge after World War II. The builders believed shelter would be needed after the U.S. collapsed in the wake of a Nazi victory. Their plan was to reemerge after time in the compound and rebuild the U.S. under fascism. Clearly, history didn't pan out this way. Today, it is still a mystery as to who exactly built and owned the property, as the names associated with the place cannot be found anywhere else.

Over the last couple of years, since I started sewing, I've read a fair few sewing magazines, and I thought I'd take some time to share my views on some of the different ones I've read, and see which ones you all like.
The sewing magazines that I most commonly see on shelves are Sewing World and Sew magazine. Occasionally I see a copy of Threads, and Burdastyle is sometimes available as well. For a while, when I first started sewing, I read both Sew and Sewing World semi-regularly. At the time, I just wanted to absorb anything sewing-related I could find, and it was before I really discovered the world of sewing blogs.
Sew was tempting as it often came with a free pattern, which was very exciting (in the days before I had a pretty sizable pattern stash). Sewing World I think I first discovered when I saw a version of Tilly's Marielle skirt somewhere, which is a pattern she released in an issue of Sewing World. I liked the skirt so much that I tracked down a back issue of the magazine so that I could get it. (Have I made it yet? Erm…)
While I enjoyed reading both of these magazines, I'd find that I'd flick through them, skip over a lot of the articles that weren't particularly interesting to me, and have read the whole thing (well, the bits of interest anyway) in about 20 mins. At about £6 each, that was a pretty expensive 20 minutes, and I started to think that I'd rather spend that money on a pattern I really wanted, or put it towards a sewing book that I know I would get a lot of use out of. I did used to buy them occasionally – it was a nice treat when I was in Tesco doing the weekly shopping, to be able to pick myself up something sewing-related as well.
I had a subscription to Sewing World for 6 months, and while I enjoyed them (and even won a pack of Fat Quarters from one of their competitions I entered), I didn't extend it after that time. The issue I had with these magazines is that they were a bit too general – they covered so many different kinds of sewing, that it was unlikely to ever all be of interest to me. Every issue there'd be a number of home dec projects/ideas for sewn gifts, probably a couple of patterns or things to sew for kids, maybe a men's pattern, and a ladies' pattern or two. While I'm not averse to doing a bit of home dec sewing (I've got a number of blinds and curtains that I need to sew up pretty soon), it's not really my main interest. Similarly kids, I don't have any, and although I may occasionally sew something for a friend's baby, that is a rarity. Sewing for men – it's something I'll probably do at some point (once Marcus lets me know something that he'd like that isn't a coat!), but again, not my main interest. That leaves a very small proportion of the magazine that is actually about what I am really interested in.
The same applies to more general crafty magazines like Mollie Makes – there just isn't enough in it than I'm interested in to make it worth me buying it. I do still occasionally pick up Burda Style, but that's a different class of magazine – more just a collection of patterns rather than having general magazine content as well.
Love Sewing is one I haven't tried yet – I won a subscription to it at the SewBrum meet up, but haven't yet received any issues, so I'll hold judgement on that (and maybe chase them up)!
A few months ago I picked up a copy of Threads at the airport when I was flying to Sicily. I figured it would give me something to flick through on the flight. That magazine kept me entertained for the whole flight – I basically read it cover to cover, and there were a couple of articles in particular that I found especially interesting, and I'm now keen to try out those techniques.
I think the main difference that makes Threads so much more enjoyable, is it's focus primarily on dressmaking. It means that pretty much the entire magazine is of interest to me, and makes it much more worth the money (it also happens to be cheaper than most of the ones I've already mentioned. Marcus gave me a subscription to Threads for Christmas, so I've now got my fix for the next year – and I don't have to worry about tracking it down in the shops, which is an issue I had – Threads and Burdastyle don't seem to be as widely available.
I would love it (and I know I'm not the only one) if there was a UK equivalent to Threads, although I guess the advantage of reading a US magazine is that all the advertising is lost on me and can't persuade me to buy anything ;) I noticed this week there is a new sewing magazine on the block – Simply Sewing, which is produced by the same people as Mollie Makes. It will be interesting to see if it fills this current hole in the UK sewing magazine market – I'm sceptical to be honest – their description seems to imply it includes home dec and embroidery as well, and the sewing special that Mollie Makes produced around Christmas did not seem to be particularly well received – I had a flick through it in the shop and decided it wasn't worth buying, and I know some people who bought it and wished they hadn't bothered! But I'll have a look at Simply Sewing if I come across it in a shop, and see what I think.
So, which sewing magazine you read and enjoy? Do you think there's still a gap in the market? Do you think there is still a place for sewing magazines given the number of websites and blogs dedicated to the subject? While I could probably find most of what is in a magazine on the internet, I quite like being able to sit down and flick through, and maybe come across something that I wouldn't have done if I had to look for it on the internet. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
