No time like the vernal equinox to watch all the characters in Alibi spring into action!
Greg tries to stop Marcey from revealing all, but he's foiled by Danny. Why does Danny have Greg's car key, though?
On the set of Foyle's War in London. Watched Michael Kitchen chased by mad Russian gunman. The gunman missed. Went home again.—
Anthony Horowitz (@AnthonyHorowitz) April 07, 2009
Foyle and Sam experience firsthand the danger posed by domestic government officials conducting shady deals with Russia.
Faraday and his wife sadly could not have children of their own, but unlike the fictional childless marriages depicted in several of Michael Kitchen's other films, the Faradays remained devoted to each other and made the best of their situation by often hosting their nieces and nephews. What fun to see Michael Kitchen playing a man with such an affinity for kids.
Sarah Faraday was played by Ann Penfold, who was Anne opposite MK's Branwell. Same time period depicted, but thank goodness the long, bushy sideburns fashionable then were toned down for Michael Kitchen's Faraday.
Thinking, thinking, thinking, eureka!
Alternating current!
Michael Kitchen running on screen over the years.
Good to know that "An Hour of Running May Add 7 Hours to Your Life".
Michael Kitchen in short shorts. He has the best form of the three, imho.
Is That Your Body, Boy?, Michael Kitchen's television debut, has been added to the BBC Store to mark its celebration of Andrew Davies. Available to UK residents only. 😦
According to a cast member who posted on IMDB, the play was shot "in a school which was in session most of the time so lots of distractions."
Pivoting aside, Foyle is a man of restrained physicality, but on occasion Michael Kitchen does get to take on the role of action hero in the show. Not since Caught on a Train have I seen MK sprint as hard as he does in Eagle Day.
Cute how he removes his hat while he and Sam flee from the assassin.
Still limping from Sophie's earlier abuse, Henry is nevertheless taken in by her feminine wiles and agrees against his better judgement to pick a rose for her. I hope that dog was well trained. If it's anything like the massive Great Dane I encountered recently, the slobber alone is a scary prospect.
Funny how the tables are turned two decades later:
In Doomsday Gun (1993), Michael Kitchen plays Chris Cowley, a munitions engineer who helps his boss, Gerald Bull, design the biggest gun ever built. The contractual buyer of the gun, however, is Saddam Hussein, an inherently dangerous association that eventually makes Cowley rethink his involvement in the project.
Michael Kitchen has spent much of his career playing villains, so it's no surprise that he's played a few Nazis. In The Bunker (1981) Sgt. Rochus Misch is a loyal devotee and servant of Hitler, yet he doesn't seem half as bad as some of the nasty characters MK would later bring to life.
(MK's Nazis seem to have a soft spot for kids.)

Some of you will have noticed this already, but we've set up an area of the blogs section specifically for Couch to 5k+ discussions. If you're a graduate, when you write a blog post you now have the option of selecting whether to "post to" the Couch to 5k+ area or the normal community blogs.
If you select Couch to 5k+, it will show in the "Couch to 5k+" blogs which makes it easier for fellow "+ers" to find. But it will still also be posted in community blog area so everyone can read it. So basically, only graduates can write Couch to 5k+ blogs but everyone can read them.
I think I could have written that more clearly (post Olympics fuzziness in my brain) so if you're confused, give me a shout.

ESRC work on biological soil crusts (biocrusts) spans disciplinary boundaries and engages a diverse team of international collaborators. Focusing on drylands, this research aims to enhance our understanding of soil function in areas where vegetation is not the dominant land cover. In these places microbes control the interface between atmosphere and pedosphere – regulating fluxes of matter and energy as part of their ecological strategies for survival at the soil surface. Drylands cover over 40 % of the Earth land surface but there are very few studies to date identifying the structure and function of their microbial communities, because most soil research has focused on temperate and agricultural systems. By addressing this knowledge gap the ESRC contributes to informed land management relevant to sustainable goals such as maximising carbon storage, minimising greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing soil fertility, and prevention of dust storms.
Related to biocrusts in drylands, ESRC researchers also investigate the role of microbes in other environments where vascular plants are unable to dominate the landscape – such as peatlands and glaciers. These studies fall under the biocrusts research umbrella and the objectives are similar – seeking to explain and understand the role of microbes in the environment to support sustainable management of the environment.

text: I am seeking oppinions and experiences from other horse people. I have a 19 yr old morab mare. My 12 yr pld DD's. I Have had her since she was 9. DD went to camp with her June 14-19 and they rode TONS!!! Mare went up at the end of May and kid started riding regularly. They went to a show on June 12.While getting her ready and wrapping her I notice that mare has stocked up on left hind. That was a new thing. Then kid has a week of camp with her at trainers and they ride and jump A LOT jumps from 18"- 2'. Kid has show on 19th.Mare was very sour. Horse comes home on the 20th. Kid gives her week off. We saddle up to ride one day last week.Her mare is off.Not OMG lame just off. Kid gets off, cold hose leg for 20 minutes, give her a gram of bute for 2 days. She isn;t stocking up any more.Today kid and friend go to saddle up and she is off. I go out and inspect and NOW I find a whopper of a splint on the outside of the cannon bone and while she isn;t stocking up, she does have more fluid around fetlock than she should, and some heat.So I cold hose and do the bute thing. So here is the thing, mare is 19 and my first thought was arthritis, but with the stocking up a few weeks back and now a whopper of a splint, I am thinking either a splint form her being used harder than she should OR a soft tissue injury, so I am torn. This WAS to be my kids last year on her because she has sadly outgrown her in both height (14.1) and ability.She is going to go to my 7 yr old son, as she has proved she would MUCH rather just babysit at this point. SO I do NOT want to spend a fortune figuring it out with these vets that are NOT good at lameness issues. So give me oppinions and tell me if you know of anything I may have missed. She starts out off and gets worse if you continue. Thanks

This year, the International Mersey River Festival will team up with the BBC and the Liverpool International Music Festival to host a day of live music from local emerging acts and established artists.
The opening day of the waterfront festival will see the Pier Head play host to a number of live music events, organised as part of the BBC's first ever BBC Music Day.
After the rousing success of his stint at last year's Music on the Waterfront, Scouse actor and DJ Craig Charles will return to the Pier Head with a live recording of his BBC 6 Music show, The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show.
This year's set will include an unmissable one-off performance from Fantasy Funk Band, exclusively formed for the event, with guest vocals from soul legend Carlene Anderson.
The live recording of the show will then be broadcast on BBC 6 Music the following weekend, on Saturday 6 June.
Other live music events planned for the Pier Head on the opening day of the International Mersey River Festival include a showcase of some of the brightest new talents to have emerged from the Liverpool International Music Festival academy.
There will also be a collaboration between LIMF and the Resonate Music Hub, who will team up to present a series of exclusive commissions for the festival.
The full line up for BBC Music Day at the International Mersey River Festival is as follows:
Resonate and LIMF commissions
LIMF showcase
BBC Introducing New Mersey Sounds
Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show
Timings and acts are subject to change.
BBC Music Day will be held at the Pier Head on Friday 5 June, the first day of the International Mersey River Festival, between 4pm and 11pm.

The Briar Challenge
Organized by: Genevieve Martinez
I am in the early stages of starting a business, one that let's people have an adventure while doing a good deed, since each challenge will support a local cause.
Briar Patch Gaming will host multiple skill competitions, the Briar Challenges, that unlock the power of your smartphone and let you use it to compete in a mixed reality treasure quest all aroung Sussex County, New Jersey.
Eventually I want to purchase some property and take this idea to the next level, but first I need to get enough funds to create the first Briar Challenge. That is where this page come in, and it's how you can help make the Briar Challenge more than just my dream.
I'm working hard at getting all the details nailed down, but keep checking here for updates.
I hope to have some videos to add soon!
Here's what I'm working on for the first Briar Challenge...
Hopefully, I'll be working with two companies to make the app.
Cluekeeper will be the entry method for the clues, hints, and your answers.
Aurasma will add augmented reality to Cluekeeper and let me mix reality and fantasy in ways that will definitely make you smile!
The actual game play will be similar to the promotion 13th Street Universal did in Berlin, Germany a few years ago, check out their video here, but keep in mind that my version will be more family friendly (think PG13).
Interested Yet? Did I mention there will be prizes? Maybe even Cash?
I'm going to offer any local business a chance to have augmented reality videos selling their products in exchange for products or services to use as prizes in the Challenges...
If you want me to do something like this for you, I will - same terms - offer me a prize for the Briar Challenges, I'll help you add Augmented Reality to just about anything from Business Cards to Holiday Postcards.
Remember in the begining when I said that a portion of the profits will go to a local cause? Here's how I see that working, let's say a local firehouse needs new equipment - I can create a Briar Challenge and 50% of the profit from that specific Challenge will go to them.
Don't forget to share this page! Keep checking for updates!!!!

Watch thousands of hilarious videos from college campuses across the country.
I didn't know Ricky Fowler bleached his hair.
Pebble Beach FaF, nice move. I think he can get a slide on attire if hes on the fucking nicest public course in America
Public courses. NF.
Saw that one comin
sweet fucking M frames bro
Sorry that the "flat bill" is from Cypress Point, the hardest course to get on in the world.
Cypress Point is easy to get on if you know the right people.
^^^ False, i have played Pine Valley with my Dad and no way could we get on Augusta.
Also, you have a hat from Cypress, but obviously didn't play it, otherwise you would have posted the pic from there.
^ False, Pine Valley.
As to you 2D2C, The internet does wonders, as does the pro shop
Augusta is harder than Pine Valley and Cypress, but Cypress is definitely harder to get on than PV. I've played 15 of the top 100, but none of the 3 aforementioned courses, if I had to pick one, I'd pick Cypress.
Even if that's true, doesn't change the fact that it looks like you're wearing your dads shirt.
You are a douche for uploading this picture onto this site, also making that the caption.
Get a fucking haircut
let me finish the sentence. Get a fucking haircut you ginger bastard!
Maybe thats not a flat bill, maybe you are on Pebble Beach. But the undershirt, long hair, M frames and 3/4 sleeve polo are a disgrace to the golf course, take a fucking lap geed.
Where's the visor?
Nice Undershit
I would say its a play on a shitty undershirt. But… I just fucked up the spelling. good catch shooter.
Tell your caddy to cut his red hair, lose the undershirt and shave the red sideburns.
^ This
GTFBITK great name.
Where did you find the caddy from Happy Gilmore?
The caddy is saying the putt breaks left, but that's only because he only has one shoe on.
^ classic.
The price is wrong bitch!
I bet this guy played baseball in high school.
It means if he actually wore a flat bill and Mark McGuire Oakleys without having played baseball in high school, someone would have already killed him.
^ first thing I thought too.
the fucks that supposed to mean?
Sweet lettuce.
Flat bill, undershirt, red hair.
It's damn sure close enough not to purchase or borrow from a friend.
i think your caddy was painting my house the other day
I don't think this is going to go well…
since well is not a place then it definitely isn't going to well… however the golfing might not be going TOO well
never pro….correcting grammar on this site is a waste of time but if you insist then I suggest you know what the fuck your talking about. Do me a favor…reread his post then fuck yourself.
Those are awesome '99 Mark McGuire memorial Oakleys. Bring'em back.
^ Nope, he's right. Oakleys, NF.
Oakleys. NF.
^ You sir, are a fucktard. That is all.
Nice ginger sideburns, fratstar.
3/4 sleeve polo, TFTC?
I thought God didn't allow gingers outside in the sun?

"You, you are the worst thing that has ever happened to me."
The words had come easy to her. Things that had been embedded into her thoughts for weeks tended to come out at the worst of times. There was no remorse in her eyes, though her breathing was heavy as if she had yelled the words out.
As it were, she hadn't, and now the receiver of such words could only stare at her with his mouth agape.
She sighs, lets herself plop down on the couch behind her, and stares at the unfinished work in front of her. All her previous motivation gone.
"You're not such a ball of sunshine yourself, you know?" He finally speaks up and goes to sit beside her. Because-even if she had admitted something that should leave him destroyed- this was not really anything new.
"Shut up."
"You and I, we keep each other going with this fuel that comes from deceit and jealousy, possessiveness, anger, and," he pauses, "and I don't understand why."
"Beats me." She lies back, turning her head towards him as she wonders how many times this moment has played out in the past two years.
This moment, however, felt definite.
"You've always had such a way with words." He smiles slightly, the crooked smile she had witnessed less often recently was barely noticeable
"And you are condescending." Her eyes look tired, he notices. He feels the same. "I don't want this for us anymore."
He nods because he knows and he voices so.
"I just," she stands up, looks at anything but him, "I just love you so much, and I know you love me as well. I know we both see a future together but this isn't healthy. This isn't what either of us deserve."
"I know." He stands up as well, "I know we'll never be able to fix this."
The silence that takes over the apartment is deafening when all you have to compare it to is either laughter that lasts a couple of hours or yelling and arguments that lasted longer than either would like to admit.
He can't help but chuckle at the situation. All this time, since the day she kissed him on their second date, he was sure she'd be the best thing that ever happened to him.
And despite the many things that they disagreed on, he could- without a doubt- agree with her on one point.
"You are the worst thing that's ever happened to me as well."
I'm trying to get more into writing and I found this writing prompt, "You are the worst thing that has ever happened to me."
Honestly, it's very mediocre, but I've been out of practice for 6 years now. Anyway, thanks for reading.

Here is how the Department of Energy responded to the 74 questions posed by the new Trump administration
Before President Donald J. Trump even took office, the Department of Energy found itself rattled by the questions the administration was posing. In a survey that was widely reported on, the administration demanded to know everything from highest paid employees to who was involved in climate research.
As governor, Trump's Energy secretary pick tried to harness the power of prayer
In the face of crisis, with more than 8,000 wildfires engulfing over 1.8 million acres of land and no significant rainfall for almost three months, then Texas Governor Rick Perry came upon an idea: prayer.

It's been 1,250 days since my last post!
It has been 1,250 days since my last post on the 9th of May 2008.
As I am writing right now I'm reminded of what my life was like when I started blogging. I was forced to leave this blog and focus on crucial matters that had to be resolved.
Thankfully, I've come a long way and during that time I've always longed to have the free time to relax and share what's on my mind with the world. I was reading some news on the internet about a month ago and felt the urge of wanting to blog about it, that's when I realized I'd forgotten the login information to my blog!
I spent an hour trying to figure out what email I used and which of my many passwords was associated with the account. Resetting the password without the actual email associated with the account does not work. I gave up after some time and decided to leave it for a later time until I can find the email somewhere else.
Today, I was reading in one of my journals and found the email written in pencil on the side of the page the day I decided to create the blog and the quest began to find a name for it. That day, I used my journal to come up with the name "The Arab Illuminist".
I am very excited to finally have the time to blog again and really happy to have this blog back.

Sex, Drugs, & Totalitarian Control
March 27, 2017 § 9 Comments
Since the end of my Disney-princess days and the start of my adolescence I have been taught that apathy is beautiful and to love is to submit yourself to ruin. There are about five different abbreviations to say to your friends via text, "I don't care," and countless others to describe a sexual relationship you're having without ever using the word "dating." "Seeing each other." "Hooking up." "Hanging out." "Chilling." "We're in a thing." "Talking." Sometimes we even resort to an anxious shrug and launch into a conversation having to do with just about anything else.
When you're with the person you're "chilling" with, talk of God or poetry or desires beyond drugs or alcohol or sex is completely off limits. Time spent in the daylight is too risky because white light has a way of exposing flaws and the feelings in your eyes that are much easier to hide when it's dark and only the moon is watching. There's an art to apathy, or at least, to pretending not to care. It involves a lot of leaving texts on "read" and silences when conversations start to sink their feet into something concrete. It involves a lot of smiling when you're not the least bit happy and "keeping your options open" when you really just feel like committing.
Having become well versed in this science, reading about the romantic entanglements in Aldous Huxley's, Brave New World felt more like reading a slightly exaggerated version of a millennial hookup story than any science fiction future. Throughout the novel, both men and women describe having sex with one another as "having" another individual, alluding to temporary ownership or possession rather than intimacy or even reciprocal action— like "sleeping with" or "having sex with." This is seen in a lot of today's colloquialisms as well, "banged her," "tapped that," "hit that," all of which have no romantic undertones and in fact, allude to violence.
The character of Lenina is a perfect embodiment of the incredibly sexual, carnal sort of reality that Huxley crafts. She is no stranger to sexual encounters; once in the novel upon entering the Alpha Changing Rooms, she is said to have been, "a popular girl and, at one point or another, had spent a night with almost all of [the men in the room]" (63). Her only understanding of the word "love" and her only understanding of relations with men, is sexual. We see this both in her relationship with Bernard and with John, however even she, the poster child, the pin-up girl, for hookup culture, struggles at times with this way of life.
During a conversation she has in the beginning of the novel with her friend Fanny, Lenina confides in her, saying, "'Somehow, I hadn't been feeling very keen on promiscuity lately. There are times when one doesn't. Haven't you found that too, Fanny?' Fanny nodded her sympathy and understanding. 'But one's got to make the effort,' she said, sententiously, 'one's got to play the game. After all, every one belongs to every one else'" (48). This notion that 'every one belongs to every one else' is repeated often in the book, relating the concept of human relationships to both the communist desire to eliminate individuality as well as the capitalist-encouraged relationships we have with material goods. To 'belong' to a person, to 'have' a person, is reflective of the idea that the commodification of the human body is the same as our commodification of all other goods. This is the only way Lenina understands relationships. Whenever Lenina has an encounter with John that leaves her pining for him, she resorts to taking soma, nor can she understand his declaration of love spoken with grand metaphors and poetic references towards the end of the novel (174). These irrational human inclinations to pine after someone, to allow someone other than ourselves to wield such power over our own happiness, to devote our lives to a relationship, and to love in language as flowery and impractical as poetry—these are not conducive to the society Huxley has created because they are not rational and cannot be satisfied by material goods.
However, there are some positives to Huxley's future view of sexual relationships. For one, female sexual agency. John does not understand the sexually liberated, emotionless way in which both men and women operate in the World State. Throughout the novel, John places Lenina on a pedestal as an ethereal creature. He yearns to shield her from anything lewd or 'unholy.' He 'loves' her for the beautiful image he has made her out to be, not for who she really is. By making John this way, Huxley demonstrates that the commodification of women specifically has a history that started well before the concepts of capitalism and communism were introduced. John commodifies Lenina into an object he wants to possess—a pure, holy, innocent object. When Lenina attempts to be sexual with him after he declares his love, he calls her a whore and eventually calls for her death (177). While Huxley's future eliminates the possibility of great love and feeling, it also eliminates the virgin-whore dichotomy that has shackled women for centuries. In theory, John's 'love' for Lenina sounds grand and it feels tragic that it cannot be reciprocated and nurtured, however, in reality, his perception of women is flawed just as the perception of women has been for all of history. If there is any remnant of true feeling, of true romantic love in the novel that should have gotten the chance to be expressed, it is at the start of the novel in Bernard and in his respect for Lenina, although it is snuffed out.
Rather than being romantic or emotional, the society in which Huxley's characters operate is an expensive one, where people fly planes and play elaborate golf games and rely on drugs for contentment and it is intentionally designed that way: "We do not want want people to be attracted by old things. We want them to like the new ones," (198).The things that the "Savage" John cares about—God, poetry, freedom, those are not as easily commodified and thereby go discouraged in such a society. In order for the totalitarian rule in Huxley's book to function, John's desires cannot exist, people need to fully buy into the capitalist understanding of 'happiness.' A New York Times article discussing Huxley's vision for the future described it as, "The totalitarian rulers in Huxley's book do this not by oppressing their citizens but by giving them exactly what they want, or what they think they want — which is basically sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll — and lulling them into complacency. They don't mourn their lost liberty…they don't even know it's gone." While there are definitely criticisms of communism as well as capitalism in this novel, looking at it from a modern day lens the problems Huxley points out with capitalism are of more significance as is the threat of becoming someone constantly searching for happiness through material goods.
But how different is Huxley's fabricated society from our own? In much of the discussion surrounding artificial intelligence and personhood, many say that the reason why AI will never be equal to humanity is because it won't be able to have empathy, to love, to feel the way human beings are capable. However, we live in a world where the suppression of those very same feelings is encouraged, where those qualities hailed in arguments about AI are shunned and seen as shameful in our relationships with one another.
While I applaud the sexual agency seen much more frequently in today's society and in Huxley's novel and I disapprove of the slut-shaming and sexist idolization of women as seen in John's view of Lenina, I also worry that human beings may be trying to act too much like machines and also, what this means for women specifically. If John's virgin-whore dichotomy persists and yet Lenina's attitudes towards sex are trendy—how does a woman win? And should she want to? Is being rational always preferable—is it sustainable—is it healthy? The inner turmoil faced by both John and Lenina is the same as it is in the many American children who grow up to see that after a first kiss it's far more likely to hear "see you never," than "happily ever after." What makes us aspire to live such an apathetically sexual life? Is it fear of vulnerability? Is it the threat of being out of control? Do we really search for the kind of happiness described in the novel, one that is "never grand" because we are afraid of the rough waves that come with fluctuating human emotion (199)?

The Tree is All Set Up!
"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other." ~ Burton Hills
As is my yearly ritual, I set up my Christmas tree around a month before I head home for the holidays. I set it up this rainy, thundering evening, listening to Christmas carols while I hang my many miniscule, almost liliputian ornaments on the tree.
I love, love, love just being in my flat when the tree is up. I spend a lot of time just gazing at it, praying for family which remains one of the best gifts God has given me, and friends who've remained in the room with me. Who are not 'the world.' Who are not 'the others.' My people. Sigh!
It's all so pretty, these earth-friendly, star-shaped fairy lights on my tree and all my angel ornaments twirling or swaying with the wind. Having said that, I know my tree wouldn't win any contest. I'm afraid it's not ostentatious-looking enough. But this tree has history. This is the tree I lugged back from the mall with my former roommate Jet. This is tree with which I celebrated the Season with Pershkins and Anne and Rocky. This tree and our little baubles on it were the only ones I asked for when it was time to go our separate ways.
This tree has meaning for me because it reminds me of all those oh-so-special people with whom I had shared my Christmas past. Looking at it gives me the one time in the year I think about them, and if we're no longer in touch, wonder where they are. It gives me pause and I sigh in wordless thanks for having encountered them. And the tree always, always makes me look forward to celebrating Christ's birth with my family.

Webster's Definition of Hope is:
2a : desire accompanied by expectation of or belief in fulfillment.
Today the definition of hope become real to me.
What is my desire?
To gain control of my life,
To gain control of my life,
mind, body, and spirit.
Today I specifically felt hope in regards to the second; my body.
As many of you who are reading this may know, 6 weeks ago I embarked on a journey to total health and fitness, knowing beforehand that the treacherous road would not be easy. Especially for a girl who (recently realized) had some sort of a food addiction.
I finally realized yesterday that this is a righteous desire of my heart. And like all other righteous desires, I must rely on the Lord for strength to fulfill it.
This morning I woke up feeling this very simple, yet true definition of hope radiate through my heart. And I knew that through my faithfulness, I would be able to accomplish ANY righteous desire of my heart. Even if it is healthy weight loss.
As I weighed in today, I was excited to find that I had lost 2 pounds this week... and I knew at once that I could not have done it alone. God strengthens us through trials and lifts us up when we need him most.
Philippins 4:13 - I can do all things through aChrist which bstrengtheneth me.
What I wanted to tell you today, is that... If I can do this, if I can change my life around... then so can you. I KNOW with out a shadow of a doubt that through our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, ALL of our righteous desires will be fulfilled if we work our hearts out.
Thanks for your kindness, encouragement and support.
I love you all.

Recognition for Excellence Handbook - Standards of Excellence
Recognition Options For Clubs
Florida 4-H Club Charters
Official 4-H club charters are offered to 4-H clubs as a requirement to use the 4-H name and emblem. All 4-H clubs, organized on either a formal or informal basis, using the name and emblem of 4-H must have some type of written evidence that recognizes them as part of the 4-H program conducted by the Cooperative Extension Service.

Clubs must be charted through a request to the local Extension Office, meeting the minimum criteria and a signature request for a charter. Official enrollment as a 4-H Club / receipt of a 4-H Club Charter gives the club the authority to use the 4-H name and emblem.

With all these pictures of landscapes and wildlife, I feel like I can almost pass as an outdoorsy person. Since I was out in the bush and living the natural life during my trip around Australia, my host parents thought that I was into hiking and doing outdoor activities. I wasn't going to say no when they invited me to go hiking on Mt. Cobbler but I wasn't exactly jumping up in excitement given that I had experienced a lot – maybe too much – nature during my trip around the country. Still, it was good exercise (and I definitely needed the exercise considering my daily diet consisted of fish and chips, meat pies, sausage rolls, Tim Tams, pavlovas, and Big M chocolate milk) and the views were gorgeous.

Happy Hormones: The Importance of Digestion to Hormone Balance
This is the third Happy Hormones post in our Hormone-Focused Series from Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Brynn D'Avello. I suggest reading the first post The First Step to Happy Hormones and then the second post where we tackle how Blood Sugar Imbalance Affects Your Hormones before you dive into this post covering the Importance of Digestion to Hormone Balance.
As we discussed in the previous post in this series, as important and crucial as blood sugar regulation is to hormone balance in this latest installment we will discuss how digestion is a very, very close second. Since I know Beth has done a killer job breaking down the digestive process in her Digestion 101 series I am only going to touch on the highlights…. with a very special emphasis on the liver.
Digestion is a North-to-South Process, and to help strengthen it effectively we must naturally start at the top and work our way down. Most of us would assume that the first step to digestion is in the mouth, but you actually have to go a little bit higher than that. The brain. To activate salivary enzymes your brain must be engaged. That's why your mouth waters when you smell something delicious. It's getting the signal that food is coming its way, and saliva, in addition to chewing thoroughly, helps start the breakdown of food into useable nutrients. (You can read more here about the roles that our brain and mouth play in digestion) Once our food gets to the stomach, gastric juices go to work on proteins and then it gets passed on to the small intestine. Here is where the gallbladder kicks in. Bile is secreted to emulsify the fats in our food to assimilate the necessary elements, to be used effectively. Without good quality bile, fats are not digested properly. Fats are absolutely critical to the entire endocrine system. Our body cannot produce hormones without fats.
5 Mealtime Tips to Improve Digestion
Digestive dysfunction is easily the most common chronic ailment I encounter working as a Nutritional Therapist. As a follow-up to my in-depth series Digestion 101, I wanted to offer five, simple actionable steps that you can take right away to immediately begin the improvement of your digestion.
Digestive dysfunction can have many faces – gas, bloating, stomach aches, indigestion – we've all been there. Yes, there are plenty of quick-fix, short term "bandaid" approaches to managing the symptoms, I see so many people that often pop antacids, take anti-gas, diarrhea or constipation meds just to get through the day. Sadly this only manages the symptoms of a larger problem and more often than not the root cause of the dysfunction is left untreated and the problems still persist.
Rather than popping pills or difficult, unnatural approaches, here are 5 simple, meal-time tips to improve your digestion, naturally.
5 Mealtime Tips to Improve Digestion
Digestion 101: A North to South Process // Part 5: The Large Intestine
Digestion 101: A North to South Process
Here we are, at the end of the road. The large intestine is the final step in the process of digestion. By this point you probably more than understand the concept of digestion being a north to south process. We have talked about it at length starting first the brain and the mouth, and the importance of being in a parasympathetic state and properly chewing your foods, then of course the stomach and the dire need for proper hydrochloric acid production, how the accessory organs, the pancreas, liver and gallbladder continue the process of digestion, releasing bile, enzymes, various hormones and allowing the small intestines to finish digestion but more importantly do it's very important job of assimilating nutrients and finally last but not least, the large intestine.
See Part One: The Brain and The Mouth
See Part Three: The Accessory Organs: Pancreas, Gallbladder and Liver
See Part Four: The Small Intestine
How it Should Work
The large intestine, or the bowel, is compromised of 3 sections, the cecum, colon and the rectum. The leftover chyme from the small intestines, passes through the illeocecal valve and first into the ascending colon. At this point in a healthy digestive system, what is left as chyme (the digested food) after the small intestines, is indigestible fibers, lots of water, sloughed off cells and bile. The large intestine is all about absorption and recycling.
As in the esophagus and the small intestine, the contents of the large intestine are pushed forward by a sequence of muscular contractions called peristalsis (a type of motility or muscular movement). After passing through the illececal valve the remains travels from the ascending colon, across the transverse colon where waste forms, into the descending colon, to the sigmoid colon and then the stool moves out of the body.
Digestion 101: A North to South Process // Part 4: The Small Intestine
Digestion 101: A North to South Process
As we continue more south in digestion, after first the brain and the mouth, then the stomach we move from the first part of the small intestines, the duodenum and it's interaction with the accessory organs, the pancreas, liver and gallbladder and into the function of the small intestine.
After we leave the duodenum, the small intestine is less about the actual process of digestion, from a sense of breaking down the food we eat and it is more about the assimilation and absorption of nutrients.
The first part of the small intestines, the duodenum, acts more as a part of the stomach than the small intestine and the jejunum, ileum and villi are responsible for assimilation.
See Part One: The Brain and The Mouth
See Part Three: The Accessory Organs: Pancreas, Gallbladder and Liver
How it Should Work
The small intestines have a dual role as an organ and a gland.
As we talked about in the previous post, The Accessory Organs – The Pancreas, Gallbladder and Liver, the small intestine releases mucous to keep things moving and it also releases two hormones: secretin and cholecystokinin.
Secretin stimulates the pancreas to release bicarbonate to lower the pH of the chyme and pancreatic juice. The CCK stimulates the gallbladder to release bile (to read more about these processes please see post #3).
By the time that the chyme has left the duodenum, thanks to the processes of the accessory organs, the chyme should be almost entirely digested.
- The carbohydrates have been broken down into glucose molecules
- Proteins are broken down into amino acids and polypeptides
- Fats are broke down into fatty acids and glycerol molecules
Peristalsis, a series of wave-like muscle contractions moves these absorbable molecules into the jejunum and the ileum, the middle and end parts of the intestine.
Within the small intestines, we have millions of villi, tiny finger-like projections that protrude from the epithelial lining of the small intestines. These villi and their microvilli absorb the nutrient molecules directly into the bloodstream, where they are carried throughout the entire body.
Digestion 101: A North to South Process // Part 3: The Accessory Organs – Pancreas, Gallbladder and Liver
Digestion 101: A North to South Process
As we continue more south in digestion, after first the brain and the mouth and then the stomach we move onto the accessory organs, the pancreas, liver and gallbladder
As we move further south from the stomach, while the small intestines are next in line for the food, but we first take a small pause/detour to discuss "the accessory organs of digestion". The pancreas, liver and gallbladder, each play a very important role in the digestive process and each can be affected with their own dysfunction as well.
The stomach, small intestines and large intestines are all part of the system of digestion we call "the alimentary canal", "the gut tube" or "digestive tube". Between each of these organs we have valves or sphincters that keep the food where it is supposed to be and move it along when the time and the environment is right. These accessory organs are not a part of this tube or system but they play a major role in the process.
There is a synergistic and symbiotic relationship with the small intestines and these accessory organs, so we will discuss first how these play a role before we move into the function of the rest of the GI tract.
The duodenum is the start of the small intestine, but it almost acts more as part of the stomach, in it's roles of breaking things down further playing a larger part in the process of digestion, vs the rest of the small intestine being less of a digestive organ and more about absorption or assimilation.
See Part One: The Brain and The Mouth
How It's Supposed to Work
When the pH of the chyme (the digested food moving from the stomach into the small intestines) is in it's normal range, 1.5 – 3.0 , which we talked about in the stomach post. This is very acidic and necessary to the stomach performing it's duties. As it hits the pyloric valve and into the duodenum with it's proper pH, this is where the roles of the accessory organs come into play. This highly acidic chyme is what triggers these functions.
The duodenum no longer wants this highly acidic chyme and in order for the enzymes to work correctly it has to take that chyme to a neutral pH of 7.0. This happens by way of sodium bicarbonate, which is released by the pancreas to alkalinize the chyme. This release of sodium bicarbonate is signaled by secretin, a hormone released by the small intestines, which as you might have already guessed, is triggered by the (proper) acidic level of the chyme, that pH of 1.3 – 5. (Ahem, here is that reminder to look north, if the stomach isn't producing proper HCl, then none of this will function properly, either!!)
Digestion 101: A North to South Process // Part 2: The Stomach
Digestion 101: A North to South Process
As we continue more south in digestion, after the brain and the mouth, next up we have the stomach. Before we get started, I wanted to remind you that you will constantly hear me reiterate as we go through this step-by-step process to "always look north" and I want you to truly understand what this means, exactly. I am referring to the fact that often times dysfunction that presents itself from further down the line, is actually due to a malfunction more north. For example, as you will read about in this second post and as we talked about briefly in the first, (the brain and the mouth), if you are eating in a stressful state and your body doesn't make the necessary switch to that parasympathetic mode (rest and digest), then before your stomach ever had a chance to function properly, the brain basically threw it under the bus. So, while the symptoms may present themselves in the stomach (or even further south) it may not make sense to supplement, treat or approach the symptoms specifically until we instead move more north to investigate if these malfunctions are treatable with just some simple lifestyle and mindset shifts.
This is not at all to say that all digestive dysfunction starts in the brain, that would make my job and my own healthy journey so much simpler. In fact, there are many reasons why dysfunction can exist, as you will see, but beginning the investigative process at the start, way up north, allows us to rule out the possible, more simple resolutions before we move deeper and into more challenging treatments.
See Part One: The Brain and The Mouth
How it's Supposed to Work
After we chew our food, it turns into what we call a "bolus". The bolus passes through the esophagus and the cardiac valve (the lower esophageal sphincter) and the bolus then enters our stomach, At this stage gastric juices are released. I like to think of the stomach as a blender. Mucous, pepsin and hydrochloric acid are all released for the "churning and burning" stage of digestion. Both mechanical and chemical breakdown happens at this stage.
The hydrochloric acid (HCl) being the most important of these gastric juices as it creates an acidic environment that disenfects the food and aids in the breakdown. Despite popular belief the stomach is absolutely meant to be acidic. In a healthy individual the pH of the stomach during digestion should drop to 1.5 to 3. We have a thick mucosal layer in our stomach, that acts as a barrier that protects the cells from the acid.
Digestion 101: A North to South Process // Part 1: The Brain and the Mouth
As many of you know, my digestion has been the source of much on and off distress over many years of my life. While I found the greatest relief by going 100% gluten-free after discovering an intolerance over 11 years ago, my digestion in the time since, has still not been without challenge and discomfort and at times, straight pain. As I began the journey to heal my body of my newly discovered autoimmune condition last year, we first needed to address my still, not-so-great digestion. This foundational approach to the healing of consequences, such as autoimmune conditions, by first treating digestive dysfunction – is a common approach, especially for functional and naturopathic doctors and nutritionists, who know that without properly functioning digestion, we cannot expect to ever find health and vitality. Without proper digestion we can be sure that we aren't going to adequately assimilate the necessary nutrients through the food we are eating, no matter how healthy we eat and no matter what supplements or medications that we take. In working with a naturopathic doctor, we discovered early last year that I was struggling with leaky gut, and even found at the start of this year, after a year of dealing with the leaky gut, yet still not feeling 100%, that I had an unwelcome parasite and an excess of pathogenic bacteria (both likely the results of having a leaky gut, for who knows how long). It's been a long year, to say the least.
Through the process of my own personal journey, I have and I continue to learn so much about digestion. This personal, ongoing path towards healing and all of the knowledge and know-how I have collected along the way, is what ultimately prompted me to go back to school to become a certified nutritional therapist. I wanted to truly learn and understand all of this in much deeper and fuller way, to allow me to not only continue to help and heal myself and my loved ones, but to also share this knowledge with others and hopefully help them help themselves, in the process.
So much of what we have been learning in school, about nutrition and more specifically, digestion, has really struck home for me. Much of what we cover are very simple concepts that I truly believe most people need to understand, and support – all of this ultimately has inspired me to share with you guys more about the process of digestion! I know so very many of you, too, are plagued by these varying epidemic levels of dysfunction and I want to empower you with the knowledge to overcome them.
In this series of posts I am going to break down the north to south process of digestion, covering how proper function should occur and also discussing the typical dysfunctions that can derail this process along the pathway. I am also going to offer advice, tips, foods, supplements and other remedies, both traditional and not, to hopefully bring you healing.
Digestion 101: A North to South Process
Digestion is a north to south process, it begins in the brain and ends in elimination. More often than not, while we feel the signs and symptoms of poor digestion further down the line, in the stomach or the upper or the lower GI, simply treating those symptoms with band-aid-like approaches, natural or not, likely won't get to the root of the problem. To properly address any digestive dysfucntion and truthfully many other nutritional deficiencies, dysfunctions, illness, allergies, etc – we must first start up north, acknowledging possible dysfunction and continue moving south until we address all possible culprits.
Just as proper digestion is a north to south process, so is dysfunction. So, to properly understand and diagnose digestive dysfunction, we have to start all the way at the top, up north in the brain. Yes, the brain is one of THE most crucial elements of digestion. One of the most important take-aways, I hope this first post gives you, is an understanding that remedying digestive malfunction and dysfunction doesn't always rely on supplements and major dietary changes, oftentimes if can be simple lifestyle changes that can make all the difference in the world. All of the tips I offer in this first post, won't cost you a dollar, you don't need to track down supplements or special foods and in fact, you can start today. So, let's peel back the layers of digestion, before we supplement our way out and instead, let's support the process as it's supposed to happen.
As a side-note, these northern-most points in the digestive process are probably my most favorite to cover, they are the starting points of the entire process, but they also require so little, in terms of support.
The Benefits of Collagen
By now you have probably heard from myself and other bloggers about collagen and gelatin and of course, the fanfare around bone broth, etc. Some of you may already know the many benefits of collagen, but even I didn't know it's full potential until earlier this year. Collagen is vital for our body and is the basic building block of skin, hair, nails, bones and joints and it plays a very important role in gut healing protocols.
Our ancestors utilized sustainable whole animal nutrition, which provided an abundant amount of collagen. Over the past century however, modern food processing has removed this natural and healthy protein from our diets.
This superfood supplement has provided much healing for me over this last year as it has become part of my daily gut healing protocol, so I am excited to share with you some of the research surrounding it. Beyond finding healing for my gut, the marked benefits in my skin, hair and nails have been the wonderful icing on the cake!
What is Collagen?
Collagen is an important structural protein that makes up one third of the protein in the body and up to 70% of the protein that makes up skin. Collagen is the basic matrix of the connective tissues, skin, cartilage and bone where it comes together to form scaffolding to provide strength and structure.
As a protein, collagen contains significant amounts of amino acids proline and glycine, which are harder to find in other protein sources and serve as a protector of your gut.
The Benefits of Collagen
The Benefits of Probiotics
I am very excited today to share this post with you. Not only is the lovely Eliza Schneider of Embodied Emergence joining us again, to share her thoughts on probiotics, but I am also sharing some great probiotic encouraging recipes from some wonderful friends of mine, as well. Probiotics have single-handedly changed the game for my always troubled gut, my only complaint of probiotics is that I didn't learn of them sooner. I am so happy Eliza took some time to explain probiotics and share all of the amazing benefits we get from them.
If you're interested in taking better care of your digestion you've surely been hearing buzz words like "probiotic," "prebiotic," "digestive enzymes," "intestinal flora"… don't be scared by these terms! You're not alone if you're thinking "WTF is this biotic stuff all about? Should I be taking supplements? Do I need this stuff? What kind should I be getting?….!!??"
Don't fear! The digestive detective (my new self-title, haha) is here to "break it down for you," so to speak.
Today we're going to focus on your intestines. These windy, long intestinal tunnels have villi (tiny hairs) capture the nutrients and send them into your blood stream. These villi are covered with tiny bacteria (probioitics). The probiotics repel yeast, bad bacteria, and fungi from getting into the blood stream. It is VITAL that the nutrients are able to absorb into the blood stream at this point in the digestive process, and the probiotics assist in allowing this to happen. The intestines are the final frontier for the digested food before it's moved into the colon and then released as waste.
On average, we have over 1,000 different types of bacteria that live in our digestive track and help to break down food and absorb nutrients! (Amazing, right!?) But sadly, things like antibiotics and diets filled with processed foods can cause these helpful bacteria to die off. As I mentioned in a previous blog post on POO, foods that cause inflammation in the body can cause the villi to be covered in a mucous that prevents mineral and nutrient absorption! This in turn can cause problems like constipation or diarrhea, IBS, abdominal pain, cramps, bloating and other not-so-fun digestive problems.
Something to be aware in today's factory-farmed world is that there can even be trace antibiotics in the meat you are eating. Conventional farmers often add antibiotics to animals who are grown close together and are prone to bacterial infections. Also, some fish are packed in antibiotics so that they don't develop bacteria on them as they are shipped to stores. By choosing organic fish and meats you'll avoid these risks.
The GOOD NEWS is that probiotics (supplements that help rebuild the intestinal bacterial [AKA flora]) can relieve many of these problems! Probiotics are microorganisms that offer some form of health benefit to the host. Prebiotics, on the other hand, are a special kind of dietary fiber that nourish the existing bacteria already living in the colon. They are naturally occurring in many plants. Basically, prebioitics are fibers (non-living) that help feed the good bacteria (probioitics!).
In this post, we are going to focus on PRObiotics, the actual beneficial bacteria that we ingest either in foods, or through supplements and are produced naturally (in a healthy body) in our intestines.
Some foods with natural probiotics in them are:
- Plain yogurt (Be sure to pick one without too many filler sugars and that says something like "live and active cultures" to be sure you're getting good bacteria!)
- Kefir (fermented milk drink made with kefir grains)
- Fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi, etc
- Miso (fermented soybean paste… makes great soups, and yummy dressings!)
- Tempeh (fermented soybean)
- Kombucha (basically bacterial cultures that in a tea-based drink)
- Dark Chocolate (YESS!!!)
- Olives (also go through a brine-fermenting process) Read the rest of this entry »

So, the hubs and I have been having some discussions here lately. Basically they boil down to seeing Up fucked me up. I'm constantly worried about dying and leaving him alone and he's convinced that I'm losing my marbles.
But, I am worried about dying and leaving him alone. So, there are two options: get a divorce and hope he marries someone healthier who will outlive him and/or have children to care for him OR adopt now and worry about having a bio-baby later (or not). I've been pretty vocal on my feelings about adoption as it relates to me. Those feelings haven't changed. It DOES feel like giving up. It DOES feel like second place. But, I'm sure that once I got into the process I'd get over those feelings. I know that they're petty and stupid.
G thinks we should wait. He's burnt on the baby business. He's tired. He wants to go back.
Which brings me to the things infertility/pregnancy loss has taught me:
1) There is no going back. There's moving forward, there's changing your mind, there's taking a break. But there's no going back. There's no feeling the way you felt before your baby (-ies) died. There's no going back to before the obsession. I hate it.
2) You don't know how you REALLY feel about adoption until it becomes your safest bet.
3) When you want something bad enough, you find the money to get it.
4) If your marriage can't survive infertility, it probably wouldn't have survived having children, anyway.
5) It takes a strong marriage to survive infertility.
6) You really can "get used to" the dildo cam.
7) Well informed infertiles know more about the science/medicine of reproduction that most non-fertility specialist doctors and nurses.
8) The causes of infertility are many, but the effect is amazingly similar in most people.
9) I could probably identify (blindfolded) my RE & his staff by how their hands feel on/near/in my ladybits. Seriously.
10) Infertility sucks. Pregnancy loss sucks. Both together is the bullshit of all bullshit.
So the plan for now:
– Continue to focus on health/nutrition.
– Sell house
– Make it through 2009
– Pay off my car
– Adopt, with plan to pursue fertility treatments again for #2

News for the Hospitality Executive
Montreal, Canada — September 14, 2011 — Ariane Systems, the world leader in self-service check-in/out technology for the hospitality industry, today introduces their latest innovation, the compact KeyStation guestroom keycard dispenser. This proprietary device is designed as a complement to the hotel e-check-in strategies that forward-thinking properties are implementing through Ariane's award-winning Allegro Web-Mobile-Kiosk Check-in/out Solution, which was introduced last year. Shown as a product prototype at HITEC in June, Ariane is now in full production of the KeyStation and is making it immediately available to hotels worldwide.
Once hotel guests have finalized the web check-in process, using Ariane's Allegro web check-in solution, they automatically receive an email and/or SMS text message with a barcode on the day of arrival. The barcode can be printed out or used directly from the screen of any web-enabled device, such as mobile phone or tablet computer. Upon arrival at the hotel, the guest places the barcode under the 2D barcode reader on the KeyStation, which searches in the database for and retrieves the guests' reservation details. The guest then simply selects the number of keycards desired, and the KeyStation automatically encodes and dispenses them. The entire process takes less than 12 seconds to complete.
Hotels or chains with a guest loyalty program may choose to allow members to use their existing loyalty cards as their room key, as an added convenience and program benefit. Instead of using a barcode, loyalty members simply insert their magstripe or RFID-enabled loyalty card into the encoder and the card is automatically encoded by the KeyStation for use as the room key.
"After enlarging the scope of hotel self-service solutions to web and mobile check-in capabilities with the Allegro platform, it soon became clear to us that we needed to 'rethink' and re-engineer the entire guest check-in experience to extend convenient self-service options all the way through guestroom access. By deploying our technology, hotels will make the guest experience easier and the hotel more efficient," said Laurent Cardot, CEO for Ariane Systems. "Since most hotels will continue using physical keys, such as magnetic and/or RFID keycards for the immediate future, we set out to design a simple and convenient way for guests to retrieve these keycards without staff assistance by leveraging the use of a barcode. The KeyStation is the answer to that challenge, providing our clients with an ideal complement to an e-check-in strategy. "
As today's always-connected hotel guest expects and demands services to simplify the overall hotel experience, Ariane Systems will continue to provide product solutions that enhance that guest experience and provide myriad benefits to the hotelier, as well. Christelle Pigeat, Ariane's VP of Sales & Marketing for North America, says, "A positive guest experience is a strong differentiating factor that is being increasingly recognized by the hotel industry as a main driver of loyalty. A well designed guest check-in experience, with consistent user interface and branding is difficult to replicate and can create a lasting effect that translates into greater profits for a hotel group or brand."
