Healthy Eating Guidelines That Will Help You To Prevent Diseases, Lose Weight Safely, Thrive Fully, And Eat Sustainably For Our Planet
- all at once!
You can start with small steps or one giant leap - Belsandia is your personal companion on your journey to a healthier, more conscious life.
Healthy Eating Guidelines
Following healthy eating guidelines is very easy with the right information and food choices that are tasty and nutritious. Healthy, balanced diets nourish your body perfectly, keep your body weight down, and protect you from disease and high cholesterol.
Preventing heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, obesity, Alzheimers, etc. is worth a little effort to follow healthy eating guidelines, wouldn't you agree? A fully plant-based vegetarian diet is the best heart healthy diet to accomplish this. With the right tools it's easy to manage your food choices for long-term health.
- Did you know that 72% of the US population is overweight, and of these, 30% are obese - mainly due to wrong food choices? Find out what healthy weight loss really means and how you can achieve a long-term healthy weight.
- Worldwide, heart disease is the #1 death cause. Are you aware that we can avoid most cases of coronary heart disease and stroke with the right healthy eating guidelines alone?
- Many so-called healthy eating plans simply cut down on the bad foods - but don't eliminate and replace them fully, which is the only long-term resolution for good heart health. Get introduced to really heart-healthy diets that work naturally to keep you in physical and mental top form.
You have heard the phrase "rubbish in - rubbish out", and that's the same with the food you put into your body. It is hard to prevent heart disease if you eat a lot of processed foods and saturated animal fats. These foods have no nutrition that your body needs, and the leftovers are deposited as plaque in your arteries, or stimulate hormone production, which attracts certain cancers.
Why are animal foods so bad for us, even if cultural traditions, medical doctors, and the food industry tell us that meat and dairy are healthy foods? Find out with these healthy eating guidelines.
Easy Healthy Recipes
Eating healthy is much more easy and fun if you know where to look for your food!
To ease your way into a healthy diet that is low in fat and calories too, I have collected these delicious easy healthy recipes that are vegetarian or vegan, so you can get the maximum of health benefits without any cholesterol or excess saturated fat, processed sugar, and salt..
These recipes also include heart healthy, low cholesterol, and low calorie meals and recipes. You will be amazed how good heart healthy foods can taste without any animal products at all!
For friends of the little extras in life, take a look at the healthy snacks and low calorie desserts, which are free of saturated fat and use mainly unprocessed, whole ingredients. Cookies anybody? Look no further than here!
Asian foods are our personal favorites and they are great for healthy eating guidelines too, so I am happy to share our best Indian and Thai vegetarian recipes with you.
Healthy Eating Plans - Vegetarian Diets
The best healthy eating plans for us humans are fully plant-based whole foods that pack the nutrients and energy, without the bad fats and empty calories. Find out more about specific healthy diets and healthy eating guidelines that may work for you. Discover which of these healthy eating plans could be beneficial for your needs.
So how can you incorporate more vegetarian foods - or make the full switch to vegan - without having to eat bland foods or lacking important nutrition?
Take a look at these interesting facts about the vegetarian diet, vegan diet, raw vegan diet, and macrobiotic diet.
No need to worry and we can clean up some common misperceptions about healthy eating guidelines right here!
Take a look at these nutrition data facts and the food nutrition chart that lists health nutrition, all vital nutrients, and where they occur in animal and plant foods.
Ina's Healthy Eating Tips and Insights
After years of learning about the relationship between food and disease and along with many hard-learned cases in my own family, I decided to start sharing what I learned with others, and to debunk the myth that "eating everything in moderation is the way to stay healthy".
For a few of us these healthy diet tips may work just fine, but for many others it is not delivering on the promise to prevent or reverse diseases. Our society is used to popping pills or having invasive surgeries once our bad eating habits catch up with us the wrong way.
Many of us may not be aware that we are what we eat
On my Healthy Eating Tips pages I will show you how easy it is to take your health into your own hands – and to take full control of your own life. I will provide you with healthy eating tips and the tools to select foods that heal.

Healthy Eating For The Planet
A Worldwatch Institute study from 2009 found that animal factory farming collectively creates up to 51% of all greenhouse gases on the planet. This is much more than formerly assumed and substantially exceeds the global warming contribution of ALL cars, planes, trains, etc. worldwide combined!
Not only does animal factory farming pollute air and water, it also wastes land, fossil fuels, food grains, and leads to land degradation and loss of bio diversity.
Research shows that 20 vegetarians can live of the same farm land that is required to feed just one meat eater. Imagine what this could mean for fighting world hunger!
Crops needed to feed farm animals use almost 50% of US water supply and a whopping 80% of US agricultural land. Farm animals - not people - consume 70% of total US grain production.
Green food that is truly sustainable is healthy for us and for our planet. Find out why even grass-fed beef and pasture raised livestock don't fit this bill.
My interview with Comfortably Unaware author Dr. Richard Oppenlander - read his insights on why our food choices are killing our planet.
Going green with food saves more greenhouse gases than switching to a hybrid car. Find out why.
Healthy Eating Saves Animals
Industrial factory farming operations are raising large numbers of animals in close confinement with the purpose of producing meat, eggs, or milk in the fastest, most efficient, and cheapest way possible for human consumption. More than 81% of cows, 50% of pigs, and 95% of chickens are now raised in the US this way.
Factory farming with its continuous quest for efficiency in food production comes at a high price for human health, animal welfare, and the environment.
Unspeakable animal cruelty is standard operating procedure on factory farms, and our food animals have almost no protecting from the torture and inhumane slaughter methods they are subjected too.
But grass-fed beef and pasture raised livestock are not the silver bullet either! The environmental pollution from these can be even greater, and most food animals grazed on pasture lands endure many of the same cruelties that their factory farms brethren do. Find out more on our food animals page.
Healthy eating can save many animal lives! If you switch to a plant-based diet you not only protect your own health, but also spare many of our food animals from being abused to become your dinner.
Animal Rights
In the USA alone, 10 billion animals are killed for food every year - and that's just land animals. In addition, many more animals are tortured and killed for the purposes of research, fashion, entertainment, sport, pet trade, and other areas.
Find out more about the latest animal rights updates and legal victories for animal cruelty laws.

Associate Academic Dean Heather M. Field has been reappointed to the UC Hastings Bion Gregory Chair in Business Law. Field will hold the Chair, which was created in 2012, for another two-year term beginning July 1, 2014.
Field's most recent article published while holding the Chair is The Real Problem with Carried Interests, 65 Hast L.J. 405 (2014). Since its publication, the article has been on the list of Top 5 Recent Tax Paper Downloads for five consecutive weeks, where it was up to the #2 spot most recently. It has been downloaded 234 times so far as of this writing.
A longer, ongoing project for Field is entitled Aggressive Tax Planning & the Ethical Tax Lawyer, which delves deeply into the fundamental notion of what it means to be a tax lawyer. She has presented it several times already, and will present it again in the coming year. The project seeks to reconcile (a) the public commentary and academic literature that condemn tax "loopholes," taxpayers who use them, and the lawyers who assist those taxpayers, with (b) the fact that one of the core functions of a tax planner is to help her client achieve non-tax economic objectives in a manner that minimizes the client's tax burden.
The paper draws on both the extensive literature on lawyering and professionalism and on the social science literature about factors that contribute to biased decision-making and unintentional lapses in judgment, in order to answer the following question: How should a tax planner, who wants to engage in "permissible tax planning" but not cross the line over into "unethical loophole lawyering," exercise her discretion and judgment when advising clients?
Ultimately, the paper will help each tax planner operationalize, on an individual basis and in a way that aligns with her values, both the general and tax-specific rules of professional conduct.
Field says she is delighted and honored to be reappointed to the Chair, endowed by Bion Gregory '68, the longest serving Legislative Counsel in California history. For 25 years, Gregory led an office that provided legal opinions to the California Senate and Assembly. He was a partner in private practice at Nossaman Guthner Knox & Elliott in Sacramento at the time of his death in 2004, at age 64, and endowed the chair in his estate plan.
"I have had the honor of meeting with Mrs. Gregory and several other members of the Gregory family," says Field. "I particularly enjoyed getting to know Mrs. Gregory and learning more about Bion Gregory and his career. Ultimately, I hope that my scholarly work is a credit to the Gregory family."
Heather M. Field graduated from University of California, Los Angeles, BS Biochemistry (1997) and Harvard Law School, JD (2000). She joined the UC Hastings faculty in 2006, following six years of practice as a tax lawyer at Latham & Watkins LLP in Los Angeles. Her practice focused on the federal taxation of corporations and partnerships and involved advising clients on the tax aspects of mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, restructurings, joint ventures, securities offerings, financial products, and structured finance transactions. Field teaches courses in taxation, and her research interests include tax elections, the role of choice in the tax law, and the effect of tax law on businesses and on business transactions. She has served as Associate Academic Dean since 2013.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
On March 2, 1904 Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. As an adult he became the beloved children's author Dr. Seuss. In his book The Lorax, Dr. Seuss shows how important it is to protect the environment by revealing the bad things that can happen to air, water, and animals when you don't. When pollution from the "Once-ler's" factory started hurting air quality, the Lorax said:
"I am the Lorax," he coughed and he whiffed.
He sneezed and he snuffled. He snarggled. He sniffed.
"Once-ler!" he cried with a cruffulous croak.
"Once-ler! You're making such smogulous smoke!
My poor Swomee-Swans... why, they can't sing a note!
No one can sing who has smog in his throat...."
The message from the Lorax is that everyone can help take care of our planet. As the Lorax said:
UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It's not.
What YOU can do to protect the air
- Save energy at home, school, and work—this will help reduce air pollution. Whenever you burn a fossil fuel to make energy, you pollute the air. Use less gasoline, natural gas, and electricity:
- Turn off the lights when you leave a room
- Turn off the water when you are brushing your teeth
- Turn off computers and monitors when they are not in use
- Drive Less—Fewer trips in your car will help cut air pollution.
- Carpool, ride your bike, or take the bus when you can
- Waste Not—It takes energy to make and sell the products we use. Here are ways to save energy, reduce waste, and save money.
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
- Use cloth shopping bags or re-use plastic and paper shopping bags
- Use both sides of paper
- Tell other people that air quality is important to you—the more people who know the bigger difference we can make.
Air Quality Education Features
Photos & Mulitmedia
Webcams, video podcasts, and interactive websites are all available to help you learn about air quality in the national parks.

The idea is simple: list your pet graphical inconsistency in Windows Vista, describe it, provide a possible solution, and Long Zheng will make sure they get passed on to someone at Microsoft who is known for "getting things done".
He started the list by himself, but since then it has expanded quite a bit already, and additions are being made continuously. Most of the complaints are minor, like aliased text where it should be antialiased or XP-style icons scattered throughout Vista. Some, however, are far more serious like the completely unusable "Safely remove hardware" dialog (whoever came up with that one deserves a spanking with USB cables), and the Windows 3.x-style (!) "Add fonts" dialog.
Some of them have already been fixed in Windows 7, and have been marked as such. In other words, your voice is being heard. Make use of this power, and help everyone by making the Windows graphical user interface a little more consistent. On behalf of all consistency freaks out there, I salute you.
Of course, first post your pet inconsistencies here in our own comments' section, and feel free to go beyond Windows and dive into other environments too.

Bugera 1960 Infinium 150 Watt Valve Amp Head:
This amp features a no-compromise post-phase inverter master volume that can be bypassed for direct signal path, and a huge output transformer with specially nested windings for increased dynamic response and clarity. The onboard FX Loop (with true bypass) is ideal for use with external FX, preamps or modeling processors, making the 1960 the go-to amplifier for massive stage sound and unbridled versatility.
The revolutionary INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier technology is like having your very own technician inside your amp constantly monitoring and tweaking valve performance for the ultimate in tonal integrity and reliability. This revolutionary circuit not only optimizes the performance of each output tube, it dynamically balances the drive between them to more evenly distribute the load. With INFINIUM, your tubes last up to 20 times longer, saving you substantial money over the lifespan of your amplifier. INFINIUM also compensates for the effects of aging, automatically adjusting current levels to keep your valves sounding as good as the day they were installed.
If and when a valve does reach the end of its life, the system even tells you which one to replace. All you need do is replace the faulty valve and let INFINIUM take care of the rest for you. This all adds up to more consistent sound quality and longer life for your valves. Maintenance for valve amps has never been this easy!
SubZero G410 4 x 10 Celestion Speaker Cabinet:
The SubZero G410 4 x 10 Celestion Speaker Cabinet packs a powerful punch with its Celestion Tube 10 speakers and a classic cab design fit for any stage. The Celestion Tube 10 speaker is designed to deliver maximum response and classic sound, with striking overdrive tones.

This subject has been discussed many times here, I know. Still, I am amazed by it sometimes.
Last week a friend and coworker of mine was talking about the dramatic recovery of her aunt. She had been suffering for weeks with crippling stomach aches and weakness. She was nearly dead. One of our best doctors correctly diagnosed the ailment as small intestine infection. He put her on some meds and she got better.....fast.
My friend is a college grad and works as an imaging technologist in a hospital. She is pretty intelligent. Her comment was that her prayer circle had just prayed her aunt back to health, that's the only explanation because she was so far gone. Never mind the doctor. It was the praying.
Seems like she would give her own organization and team at least some credit.
Views: 328
emotionally distressed people should not run the country...
who is emotionally distressed ??
You should send her a link to the Harvard Prayer Experiment also known as the Templeton Experiment.
I love this experiment, thanks for posting I had forgotten who had done it.
Melinda I yell at the news and I'm always afraid someone is going to hear me and have me put away! LOL
Heh I hear ya! I can't help it, I believe they honestly find the dumbest people possible to make commentary on everything! "That tornado, it sounded just like a train, like they say! Gawd wrapped us in his arms and kept us safe!" Meanwhile a guy trying to get home to protect his children, ends up under a school bus... must not have prayed hard enough!
I facepalm so much over our news that I have palm prints on my forehead... those really aren't wrinkles I swear!
Why did she go to the doctor then? It's hard to speak against things like this. I've been around plenty of conversations about prayer doing the trick, and none of the other explanations were touched on. Also, ailments pass. It's like having a clogged air filter on a mower that is running bad. You change the filter, and then say then pray that the mower will run better.; and what do you know, it runs better because of prayer.
Hi Booklover and VikingDon and everybody-- Here's the thing: I understand why so many religious folks WANT to believe that prayer helps and WANT to see evidence that god is working out the problem stuff in their lives. It's HARD to feel helpless, at the mercy of random events and random illnesses. It's darn SCARY. So the endless prayers are like a talisman or a magic spell or something to IMMEDIATELY resort to when somebody is having an operation or one is scared silly about their teenager and drugs or a young mother is found to have cancer or an infant is seriously ill or a family member is out of work and about to lose their home.
Nobody wants to feel powerless and vulnerable. And many times.. often... maybe most of the time, things do tend to work out, and the folks, who have been comforted during the crisis by assurances that everybody is "praying", then feel confirmation that there is a loving big daddy god who is always in control and who will work things out, and that even if the worst happens it's all gonna be OK in the end in heaven. And the prayers of their family, friends and neighbors "feel" like the best kind of love and support.
Of course to me it's all a crutch and an unwillingness to face the truth about the randomness of life. But these wishful thinkers aren't "bad" people. They're just believing what they've been taught and believing what they feel is the good, wholesome stuff that is the religious tradition in their families. Now I KNOW that there has been much evil done in the world over the centuries in the name of religion, but where I live in the bible belt of South Carolina, really the worst that I see the Southern Baptists do is attempt to scare non believers about "hell". Yeah, I guess that's bad enough, but I don't think that for the average small town Christian there is any evil intent-- they've just never questioned things that would seem absurd if they could EVER look at those beliefs without their cultural bias.
Off the subject a little, but it is so crazy that fundamentalist Christians can SEE that the Mormons believe utter NONSENSE but don't have the distance from their OWN beliefs to see that those beliefs are JUST as nutty!
Not one bit comforting to ME either, Melinda. And I never will understand why they think it's all cozy and lovely that the great puppeteer allows horrible stuff to happen and then lets people beg for a reprieve. Oh.. ONE of their little gems is that god wants them to pray and gives them bad stuff so they WILL pray and get closer to god. PARDON ME YELLING BUT THE CONVOLUTED REASONING IS GONNA DRIVE ME RIGHT OVER THE EDGE. OK. I'm calm now.
This is just a thought but I wonder if some of this is just plain habit. I really don't think much when I am brushing my teeth and I wonder if this happens to these people who have grown up with this behavior. I don't mean to diminish our disgust at the practice (because it is disgusting) but I am always trying to figure out how these misguided folks can hold so tenaciously to this belief in the presence of all of the evidence against it.
Yep, Lillie Fleur, I think you nailed it. "They" are SO immersed in their religious assumptions that these are as automatic as brushing teeth. It absolutely, quite simply NEVER occurs to them that the whole shebang is made-up superstition. Religous beliefs are beyond the realm of logic and questioning. The cliches, the mindless pious statements, the praying before meals, it is all so cultural that they don't LISTEN to what they are saying and can't imagine any other way of living and believing. In their world view they know what "nice" and "good" are, and these traits are forever and always all tied up in their minds with their religious heritage.
As someone just pointed out in a comment I read here, the craziest thing is the babbling at times of tragedy when someone feels that "god" saved them and must be PRAISED on national news. Never mind the OTHER people who died, the people who suffered and were lost in that same event or some other disaster.
The answer is NOT that this fictitious god singles out some for miracles but has other plans for those who die, OR that "god" is evil and doesn't care... the obvious answer is that we live in a universe where natural, scientific laws prevail and god is a figment of people's collective imaginations. The universe is indifferent to us, but WE humans have evolved to love life and consciousness and to do what we can to care for each other.

Wiz Khalifa has expressed his disappointment with fellow rapper Tyga for pulling out of his new North American tour, insisting it was a "wack move".
The hip-hop star invited Tyga to join him on the road for his third annual Under the Influence of Music trek in the spring (14), but the Rack City hitmaker withdrew from the live shows earlier this month (Jul14), just two weeks before the gigs kicked off in Scranton, Pennsylvania on Thursday (24Jul14).
Tyga took to his Twitter.com account to explain his reasons for his abrupt exit, claiming he wanted to use the time to finish up his album and work on a movie instead, but Khalifa has made it clear he is not interested in his excuses.
During an interview on Philadelphia radio station Power 99 on Friday (25Jul14), Khalifa revealed his pal had failed to break the news to him himself.
The Black and Yellow star explained, "He didn't tell me at all. His people was just like, 'Nah, we ain't gonna be on the tour (sic).'"
Khalifa hasn't spoken to Tyga since, but he insists there is no bad blood between the pair: "I'm sure he'll probably hear interviews of me saying that I thought that it was wack (bad) and he didn't reach out. I'm the type of person, I talk to people when I want to. We cool, that's the homie, and that was just a wack move (sic)."
He continued, "I felt like that (his excuse) was just corny. We're better than that. At the end of the day, you don't say 'album and a movie' to sound like you have something to do, 'cause I did my album before the tour and I'm shooting a movie once I get off tour and I got a son. So, at the end of the day, what do you want to do with your life?"
The Under the Influence of Music tour also features Rich Homie Quan and DJ Drama on the line-up.

Pardew backs Sammy for big things after Ameobi Jnr stars in Bruges
00:00 GMT, 9 November 2012
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew predicted big things for Sammy Ameobi after he combined with brother Shola to spark a Europa League fightback against Maribor.
The 20-year-old was a key figure as the Magpies cancelled out Club Brugge's early two-goal lead to claim at point at the Jan Breydel Stadion and ease closer to qualification for the knockout stage.
It was his 43rd-minute pass which 31-year-old Shola converted two minutes after Vurnon Anita had dragged the visitors back into the game on an eventful evening in Flanders, and Pardew was delighted with his contribution.
Impressive: Sammy Ameobi starred as Newcastle came back from 2-0 down to draw in Bruges
High hopes: Pardew wants Ameobi to contribute more defensively
He said: 'I thought they were both good tonight. We had Ameobi to Ameobi – which is almost like a song – for the second goal, which was nice.
'It was a great little turn from Sammy. He has just got this way of getting out of corners that I have not seen many players being able to get out of. He wriggles out of situations.
'He still needs to tighten up a little bit on the tactical and intelligence sides of the game. He takes people on where perhaps he should pass.
'But he will learn that. He showed his talent tonight – and he marks at set-plays, which he needs to do. He's 6'5″.
'He's not very good at it, but he's learning.'
Newcastle got off to a catastrophic start as the hosts raced into a 2-0 lead, aided and abetted by some dreadful defending.
Ivan Trickovski took advantage of Fabricio Coloccini's indecision to control Ryan Donk's 14th-minute long ball and beat Tim Krul, and Jesper Jorgensen doubled to dose within five minutes after shooting home from 20 yards.
But it was the Magpies who finished the half with a flurry with Anita volleying home his first goal for the club four minutes before the break and Shola Ameobi levelling.
Both sides could have won it in the second half – substitute Yohan Cabaye hit the bar with a free-kick and Krul made a series of fine saves to deny Brugge – but a point kept the Magpies at the top of the group and edged them closer to qualification for the knockout stages.
Pardew said: 'I wasn't too concerned. I thought we would score goals tonight, it was just important not to let any more in.
Oh brother: Shola Ameobi scored Newcastle's equaliser
'We got a great goal from Anita after a good bit of pressure and then immediately got the second before half-time, which was a bonus, really.
'We came in at half-time in a strong position and really all we did second half was just to make sure defensively we were sound, and apart from a few break-aways and a couple of set-plays, I thought we were and it was just about whether we were going to score the winner.
'We hit the bar and had a couple of good situations, but overall, I am delighted. Two-nil down at Bruges, it's tough.
'They have got pace in their team, so they are always going to be a threat.'
Satisfied: Pardew (left) has his side on the brink of qualification for the knockout stages
The draw leaves Newcastle a point clear at the top of Group D and knowing victory over Maritimo at St James' Park – a game midfielder Cheick Tiote will miss through suspension after picking up his third booking in the competition tonight – on November 22 will ensure their progression.
Pardew said: 'We are going to have to kick ourselves if we don't beat Maritimo at home, with all due respect to them.
'We have got ourselves in a great position and are looking to just wrap the league up perhaps with that win there, which is our next game.'
Caretaker Brugge boss Philippe Clement was in philosophical mood after the game.
He said: 'I think as a team, we can be happy with the way we played. For the supporters of both sides, it was a very good European game with a lot of fight, mentality and chances.'

I read the post twice but can't get the picture. I'll share anyway a big thing I correct a lot. Ready?
Don't put a NAS or streamer on WiFi. Wire that and let your clients be on WiFi.
I'm a new member to this forum and am looking to the experts to help me figure this out. So here goes...
I recently purchased a WD Live streamer and hooked up my external drive to it and it played everything perfectly. I then tried to stream things just from the windows streaming capabilities and it lagged bad. So then I upgraded my wireless router to a Netgear N600 (needed a new one anyway), and streaming is on point and perfect.
When I bought the router, I also picked up a NAS to connect to my new router (needed more storage anyway). The transfer rates were around 7mb/s and it took a while to transfer a larger hd video over to the NAS. The router also has a USB port on it and I figured out that I could attach a "normal" external hard drive and still share the files across my network.
So here is my dilemma...
Would you recommend keeping the 2TB NAS and dealing with the time to transfer files, return it for a 2TB external drive (like a passport that's easily accessible) and load it up with media and then hook it up to my router, OR buy a large 3TB external drive and run a virtual server like serviio that's linked to the hd?
It's a lot to ask, but I'd like to get some insight into what the board thinks. Pros and cons of each or recommendations for products or solutions and ideas that I haven't thought of.
Thanks for reading.

BANGKOK, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Thai officials reassured the U.S. Secret Service that lizards found on the Government House grounds were not the dangerous komodo dragons, but water lizards.
The U.S. team mistook the relatively benign water monitors for the carnivorous komodo dragons as the team conducted security inspections of the Government House Thursday ahead of President Obama's visit that begins Sunday, the Bangkok Post reported.
Meanwhile, a U.S. explosives team reported five locations Obama will visit during his two-day visit to Thailand have been scanned.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's security detail also was planning and rehearsing for a reception for the U.S. president.
The United States is interested in establishing a humanitarian and disaster relief force at U-Tapao, a naval and air force complex on the eastern seaboard built by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War.
"The return to U-Tapao would be very symbolic for the U.S., sending a message to China that it is returning to mainland South-East Asia," Panitan Wattanayagorn, a military affairs expert at Chulalongkorn University, told the Post.
Such a move would require approval by Thai lawmakers, some of whom are skeptical about the U.S. military being permanently based in Thailand, he said.
U.S. officials have announced plans to focus more on the Asia Pacific region in military, cultural and development areas.

When it comes to night coyote hunting, one of the best tools a hunter can have is a night vision rifle scope. Any coyote hunter knows that coyotes move at night and having the advantage to be able to see them in their nocturnal element is an enormous advantage.
The next few paragraphs will take a look at some of the best cheap night vision rifle scopes available on the market today. One thing to keep in mind is that these are at the lowest end of night vision rifle scopes and are not the best that you can get. However, if you are shopping for a night vision scope on a budget, hopefully I can provide some direction and you can get the right scope for you.
ATN Aries MK 350 Night Vision Rifle Scope
I just want to say ATN makes excellent products and you can never go wrong when buying their night vision scopes. The Aries MK 350 goes for around $500 and while it is more expensive than some other brands, it is still a great buy.
The MK 350 is a first generation night vision scope with 2.5x magnification. It weighs in at 2.9 pounds and is 10.8 inches long. One neat feature of this scope is the red on green reticle which improves accuracy and makes it easy to line up your rifle on a coyote. This scope has an excellent battery life at 40 hours and, like most ATN night vision scopes, has a 2 year warranty just in case of a malfunction.
Overall I have to say this scope is a great product for the price. It is not going to give you great detail at long distances, but anything within about 100 yards should be descent clarity.
Yukon NVMT Laser
This night vision rifle scope is also first generation night vision technology, but with 3x magnification. It is compact, lightweight, and features a lifetime limited warranty. This is basically a monocular with a conversion kit to fit a rifle. It includes the mount to fit on a rifle and a laser pointer on the side to act as a red dot reticle.
The NVMT is another great short range night vision rifle scope at an affordable price. While it doesn't quite match up to the ATN MK 350, it is about $100 cheaper and can still provide for great night time hunting. Like with many other cheaper night vision scopes, this one requires close range before the object can be seen with clarity.
Sightmark SM16012
Like the Yukon NVMT laser, the Sightmark is a first generation conversion kit for a night vision monocular. It has a 24 mm lens with a 2x magnification and also has a lifetime limited warranty. You can buy this scope for about the same price as the NVMT. The Sightmark has a mechanism that will automatically shut off in order to protect the intensifier tube when it senses light.
Once again, this is another great night vision scope for a great price. Like the other, you have to be in close range in order for this to be effective. Anything beyond about 100 yards is going to be difficult to make out.
Of the three night vision scopes above, the scope of choice for me for coyote hunting has to be the ATN. It has the best features and produces the image with the most clarity. If you don't mind dishing out an extra 100 bucks or so, I recommend this product. However, the Yukon is an excellent product as well and can be purchased for quite a bit less.

Ben Schiendelman (above), the man behind the "Keep Seattle Moving" measure to save Metro, is a happy fellow right now.
"This is a good day," he says, "Last week it was 'we are not Hobbiton' so this is a welcome change."
Schiendelman is excited because this morning, Mayor Ed Murray officially announced a plan to save metro after last month's failed Prop. 1 county measure. The plan is essentially a Seattle-only reboot of the county-wide Prop. 1—it features a $60 car tab fee and .1% sales tax increase to raise $45 million per year to preserve Metro. The Mayor had danced around the issue since the initial failed measure, taking flak for criticisizing Keep Seattle Moving's proposed property tax solution, which was the first solution out of the gate.
On Friday, word leaked out that the Mayor would finally be proposing his own measure, which prompted Schiendelman to put down the clipboards and cease collecting signatures.
"We suspended our signature gathering because we knew then that we had totally won," Schiendelman says. "The mayor and council are now doing approximately what we needed them to do, and we certainly don't want to have two measures on the ballot. Now that they've committed to put something on the ballot, the best thing we can do is work with them to make sure it's as progressive as possible."
Murray will be developing the measure over the summer in the hopes of landing it on the November ballot. In the meantime, Schiendelman is looking forward to the public process to further shape the measure.
"We've just shown that a fairly small amount of organization can have a fairly large imapact on what city government does," he says. "Progressives seem to have figured out all the sudden that they can use the same tactics as Tim Eyman, and it works for us too."

final keyword liberally to communicate your intent.
final keyword has more than one meaning:
final class cannot be extended
final method cannot be overridden
final fields, parameters, and local variables cannot change their
value once set
final object reference is set, it can still
change its state, but not its identity (that is, you can't re-point the object reference to
some other object).
Declaring primitive fields as
final automatically ensures thread-safety
for that field.
Some habitually declare parameters as
final, since this is almost
always the desired behaviour. Others find this verbose, and of little real benefit.
Consistently using
final with local variables (when appropriate)
can be useful as well. It brings attention to the non-
final local
variables, which usually have more logic associated with them (for example,
variables, accumulators, loop variables). Many find this verbose.
A reasonable approach is to occasionally use
final for local variables,
but only if there is some unusual condition, whereby making
final explicit can call
attention to at least one non-
final local variable in the method; this serves
to quickly distinguish the non-
final local variables from the others.

Or do they just want to continue with their old habits? The reason for this blog post is that I the last week have tried to help people on several forums. Most of them just want to know how to solve their current problem and there is no harm in that. But when I recognize the same poster the very next day with a similar problem I ask myself; Did I really help him or her at all?
All I did was probably to help the poster keep his or her job. It sound harsh, but is probably true. Why would the poster else continue in the old habit? The most convincing post was about someone wanted to use SP_DBOPTIONS. He had an ugly procedure which used dynamic sql and other things done wrong.
I wrote to him he should stop using SP_DBOPTION because that procedure have been marked for deprecation and will not work on a SQL Server version after 2008R2, and that he should start using DATABASEPROPERTYEX() function instead. His response was basically "Thanks, but no thanks". Then some other MVP jumped in and gave him a solution using SP_DBOPTIONS and the original poster once again was a happy camper.
Another problem was posted by someone who wanted a unique sequence number like "T000001" to "T999999". I suggested him to use a normal IDENTITY column and add a computed column and concatenate the "T" with the value from the IDENTITY column. Even if other people several times proposed my suggestion as an answer, the original poster (OP) unproposed my suggestion! Why?
The only reason I can think of, is that OP is not used to (or even heard of) computed columns. Some other guy posted and insinuated that computed columns don't work on SQL Server 2000 and earlier. To that I just posted that computed columns did in fact work already back in SQL Server 7.
Are people so stuck in their old habit and inept to change for whatever reason that might be? Could it be they are not qualified, or lack enough experience, for their current position? Do they lack basic education about relational databases?
My question to you is, how do you really help people with these mindsets?

Event is Saturday, Aug. 18
Press release
Help fill the pantry for the Buffalo Zoo's animals this fall and winter. On Saturday, Aug. 18, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., shoppers at participating Tops Friendly Markets locations will have the opportunity to purchase an extra gift for the zoo to help keep the animals happy and healthy.
After selecting items from the zoo's grocery wish list, which will be provided at each location, shoppers can leave their gift with a zoo volunteer in the store lobby. All of these generous donations will then be used as special enrichment treats to promote the animals' natural behaviors and to stimulate them physically and mentally.
Requested grocery items include: Kellogg's Apple Jacks and Froot Loops or plain cereals; dog biscuits (all sizes); extracts and spices; peanut butter; plastic toys (Frisbees and balls); rawhide chews; Purina Whisker Lickin's cat treats (soft); as well as a variety of other items.
The items may be purchased at the following Tops locations: 2101 Elmwood Ave., at Hinman (Buffalo); Sheridan Drive at Delaware Road (Buffalo); Maple and Transit (East Amherst); and South Park (Hamburg).
With an annual grocery bill of $250,000, providing food and treats for the 1,200 animals at the zoo is a tremendous task. The Buffalo Zoo wishes to thank shoppers in advance for helping the animals and supporting Tops Friendly Markets, one of the zoo's most generous sponsors.
The Buffalo Zoo is located at 300 Parkside Ave.

Not long after Stacy Lewis arrived, she ran into Pat Bradley -- the No. 1 women's golfer in the world paying her respects to one of the game's legends. Bradley, 63, had a huge grin, unable to contain her excitement.
No one would know any better than Bradley just how ground-breaking it is to have the women play the same U.S. Open course as the men immediately afterward, especially one as historic as Pinehurst No. 2.
"She's like, 'Is this not the coolest thing ever? During my generation this would have never happened,'" Lewis said. "I think that's what a lot of the young girls don't realize, what an opportunity this is."
Women's golf will never have a better showcase than this. In addition to the relentless promotion by NBC, ESPN and the Golf Channel during their U.S. Open telecasts, many of the best players in the men's game talked openly about watching the Women's Open to see what happens. The two groups rarely cross paths like they have this week.
With a growing number of talented and telegenic young American players and an 11-year-old in the field -- cheerful, pigtailed Lucy Li -- this is a real chance to attract attention to a sport that has, despite a recent spike in growth, largely failed to keep pace with the PGA Tour.
To fully capitalize, it will likely take some Sunday drama on the back nine (unlike the men) and a winner whom American audiences can appreciate. That doesn't necessarily have to be an American -- defending champion Inbee Park speaks excellent English and has an outgoing personality -- but it would certainly help.
If Michelle Wie, by far the tour's best-known player, is ready to win a major, there would never be a better time than this.
If nothing else, being able to attend the U.S. Open in person opened some players' eyes to just how popular the men are and how far the women have to go to catch up. Envy can be a powerful motivator.
"If we want to get up there, if we want 400,000 people watching us, if we want this many more sponsor tents, it really puts it in perspective of where we want to get to," Wie said. "I think it definitely pushes us a lot harder when we see that."
The LPGA already is making progress, from increased television ratings to major changes to one of the tour's majors, the LPGA Championship. In partnership with the PGA of America, it will now be known as the Women's PGA Championship, mirroring the men's tournament.
The tournament will move from its traditional home in Rochester, N.Y., to rotating sites in the New York City area, starting at the prestigious Westchester Country Club in 2015. The purse will increase from $2.25 million to $3.5 million, and it will join the Women's Open as the only women's tournaments on broadcast television thanks to a new deal with NBC.
"I think we're finally earning the respect that we can play good championships on great golf courses," Suzann Pettersen said.
The Women's Open, which saw a purse increase from $3.25 million to $4 million this year, will move permanently to the weekend after Memorial Day in 2018, a date that will allow for a wider range of courses. This tournament has clearly become a higher priority for the USGA, as these unique circumstances only underline.
"I think any time Rickie (Fowler) and Phil (Mickelson) and those guys are talking about women's golf, I think it's a great thing," Lewis said. "That's really what we accomplished last week. For them to say they're going to watch us play, that's huge."
They'll be watching, as will others. It's up to the players to make the most of this audience. They'll never have a better chance to show off what they can do.

What to Make of the ALEC Exodus
Update, April 17, 2012: As corporate defections continue, ALEC announced that it will disband the task force that worked on laws related to guns and elections.
Yesterday, the candy company Mars, Inc. and the Arizona Public Service Company (Arizona's largest electric utility) became the latest in a group of high-profile companies to part ways with the American Legislative Exchange Council. They join Kraft, Wendy's, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Intuit, and the Gates Foundation.
ALEC, as the group is better known, describes itself as "a constructive forum for state legislators and private sector leaders to discuss and exchange practical, state-level public policy issues." Its critics call it a way for big corporations to impose their will through state law—laws that have included easing taxes and regulations on big companies while restricting the rights of immigrants, workers, and minorities.
So why are companies leaving ALEC? What are we to make of this trend? Well, here are a few things this exodus is not:
Only about Stand Your GroundALEC's connection to Stand Your Ground laws, of the type that initially shielded George Zimmerman from prosecution in the killing of Trayvon Martin, is a big reason why the group is finding itself in uncomfortable headlines these days—but it's far from the only one. ColorofChange.org, the group that's been calling for corporations to leave ALEC, actually began to do so late last year due to ALEC's role in promulgating voter ID laws that suppress the voting rights of poor and minority voters. Some of the companies whose departures have been publicized this week, including Pepsi, Wendy's, and Intuit, actually left ALEC by letting their memberships quietly expire during the winter.
Just about corporations
Yes, company departures are the main event right now, but the exodus is unlikely to stop there. At least one state legislator has publicly left the group (ALEC, he wrote, "is not the innocuous, bipartisan organization it purports to be. Their agenda is radical and wrong for Missouri. I was a member and saw firsthand the sort of extreme legislation they push on state legislators around the country"). Groups in a number of states are pressuring their elected officials to leave ALEC and write their own legislation. And the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, not a corporate member but a charitable foundation, has announced it will make no new grants to the group.
A sign that these companies are getting religionThese companies have all engaged in lobbying in the past, and will surely continue to do so. Even in their departure statements, none has been apologetic about the initial decision to join ALEC—some have cited business or financial reasons for leaving; others have affirmed that they joined for a certain purpose but don't want to be publicly associated with ALEC's other activities.
Likely to stop hereShareholders of at least five publicly traded companies have already introduced resolutions asking for disclosure of involvement in organizations, like ALEC, that write and promote model legislation. And ColorofChange.org and other activist groups already have moved on to new boycott targets, including Johnson & Johnson, AT&T, and State Farm.
The only fight that mattersIt's great that ALEC is facing so much public scrutiny. As Paul Krugman writes, "ALEC, even more than other movement-conservative organizations, is clearly playing a long game. Its legislative templates aren't just about generating immediate benefits to the organization's corporate sponsors; they're about creating a political climate that will favor even more corporation-friendly legislation in the future." But we have to remember that ALEC is a tool for this agenda, not its source—and not the only tool, either.
A coincidenceALEC's ubiquity in the news has come rather suddenly; it's easy to overlook the fact that the organization has been operating for 39 years. So why is it getting so much attention now? According to a statement from ALEC, the reason is a "coordinated intimidation campaign against its members." Well, sort of. Scrutiny of ALEC kicked into gear after an investigation revealed their role in helping the private prison industry craft Arizona's infamous anti-immigrant law, and increased as extreme ALEC-backed laws rippled through state legislatures last year. Progressive media, in particular, deserve a lot of credit for keeping the microscope on. As state after state passed nearly identical policies protecting businesses at the expense of people and the environment, progressive groups realized they were facing a coordinated campaign to undermine basic protections—and that they needed a coordinated response. Mobilizing people to boycott individual corporations when they behave poorly is a time-honored method. Still, the goal isn't, as ALEC alleges, "to eliminate discourse" but to create it. Calling efforts to find out how and why our laws get written anti-democratic is a pretty absurd stretch.
So what is happening? Investigative reporting and consumer pressure are turning ALEC into a toxic brand—think of the mass exodus of Rush Limbaugh advertisers earlier this year. Corporations and others are finding it's no longer in their best interest to be associated with it. The departures represent an important and hopeful trend, but just the beginning of a necessary reevaluation of how special interests distort the democratic process.
- Corporate power is behind the politics of climate denial, Wall Street bailouts, union busting, and media consolidation, to name just a few. But real people have power, too. Here are some of our most successful strategies.
Occupy's latest target: corporations that write their agendas into state laws.
When companies are owned by workers and the community, everything changes.

Via orwellwasright:
It's well known that many of the great breakthroughs in science seem to occur both independently and near-simultaneously: Isaac Newton, Gottfried Leibniz and the development of calculus; Nikola Tesla, Guglielmo Marconi and the invention of the radio; Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution are just three famous examples of radical new theories and inventions appearing in apparent isolation from one another. But what if scientific developments are prefigured by artists, who elucidate new concepts and manners of expressing space, light and time which capture the essence of radical new approaches to theoretical physics years before they actually occur? This is the subject for Leonard Shlain's fascinating book, Art and Physics.
Shlain takes the reader on a journey through history, from the classical art of the Greco-Roman world through the spiritual mosaics of the medieval era and the Age of Reason up to the present day; from Euclidean geometry to Galileo, Newton and the discoveries of Einstein. In doing so, he paints a compelling picture of a strong – albeit often unwitting – correlation between art and physics; of art demonstrating profound truths about the way in which the universe is constructed, visualizing abstract concepts which scientists are only capable of articulating in complex formulas.
As Wyndham Lewis once said, "The artist is always engaged in writing a detailed history of the future because he is the only person aware of the nature of the present," and perhaps nowhere is this more self-evident than in the works of the masters of modern art. Where the Renaissance artists, having rediscovered Greek philosophy, infused their works with a new understanding of geometry, perspective, light and shadow, the artists of the modern age subverted these long-standing "rules" of art, defying gravity, time and the idea of the pure, subjective viewer.
Edouard Manet's Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe, a work which purposely violated the reified laws of perspective.
Marcel Duchamp's Woman Descending the Staircase, No. 2, described by the artist as, "an expression of time and space through the abstract presentation of motion."
Salvador Dali's Agnostic Symbol, portraying the effect of mass upon spacetime in its immediate vicinity.
Shlain's theory is as provocative as it is compelling – but he is quite clear to make the point that the artists in question were not aware of the parallels their works had with new theories in science, even when these parallels have been pointed out to them. Many of the great minds covered in Art and Physics actively deny any link between their art or scientific discoveries, reflecting the wide gulf between these disciplines: both Newton and Einstein held art in low esteem, while Rene Magritte once said of science, "I am, of course, unable to appreciate science, not being a scientist … scientific conquests and the more or less precise goals of scientific endeavour don't interest me at all." At the same time, he was painting images which captured the essence of spacetime, such as in his playfully impossible painting The Glasshouse.
Shlain explores this notion of art introducing "symbols and icons that in retrospect prove to have been an avante-garde for the thought patterns of a scientific age not yet born" with a comprehensive range of examples, balanced with a clear outline of the science, in which he renders complex theoretical physics in a manner that is both clear and concise. In drawing his conclusions, Shlain touches upon what are perhaps equally controversial topics such as the presence of a universal mind – or perhaps Jung's collective unconscious – and the transcendent power of mythology and symbolism, as well as the neurology of hemispheric thinking and the synthesis of left/right mindsets, where concrete scientific notions become realised through art. As Marshall McLuhan once said: "The artist is the man in any field, scientific or humanistic, who grasps the implications of his actions and of new knowledge in his own time. He is the man of integral awareness."

I love pesto – I eat it off of a spoon. As far as sauces go, it's pretty healthy, adds a lot of flavor and can be served on just about any dish. I used almonds and walnuts here because that's what I had in the pantry. This recipe is made without cheese – I like having a dairy-free version in my refrigerator and then depending on what I'm making or who I'm serving, I'll add parmesan into the pesto or the dish.
I never measure anything when making pesto since I'm usually using up ingredients laying around but I did write this one down for you. Again, just use it as a guide and add your own flavor!
1⁄2 cup almonds, toasted
1⁄2 cup walnuts, toasted
2 cups basil leaves
1⁄4 cup parsley, chopped
1⁄4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt (or more depending on your tastes)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Place all ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth. If necessary, add more olive oil for a creamier consistency. Serve it on pasta, sandwiches, fish, or in soups like minestrone. It keeps in the refrigerator in a sealed container for a week and in the freezer for several months. Freeze it in dinner size portions or ziplock bags for easy reheating.
*Cooking tip: be sure to mince small items like garlic before pureeing in a food processor – otherwise, they'll flip around the blades and stay more whole than not.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Yields 1 ½ ; cups pesto
