How mindfulness can help us to see our children …
When we discover that we will be parents, we spontaneously make a lot of projections about our children . our babies, even when they are still infinitely smaller than the least of our dreams for them.
In these projections, they already have a future. We already know what we do not want them to go through. We have already stipulated how they should behave in family gatherings. We already hope for their professions and even for their musical tastes. We also throb about the times when they feel cold or hungry. In relation to them, we always act as if they are winds and we try at all times to change their direction, leading them where we think best.
However, when babies are born, even if we continue to map out routes of how they should be and how they should behave, their uniqueness will gradually make us rethink our dreams for them.
Although many of these dreams still remain some will be planned again or redone, according to the preferences of the babies and their personality. In this case, it is as if the winds refuse to move according to the barriers we put to them. And so we seek a balance between what we desire and we are sure that it is better for them and what they themselves seek, from their sensations, wants and needs.
Finding a balance for this is not a very easy task for us parents. It is necessary to give continence to the winds. After all, our babies need this to enter the world of social exchanges, communication and culture. But to curtail them too much is also to curtail their dreams, their freedom and their creativity. What to do, then?
The answer lies in interacting with them through mindfulness. Attention fully is the capacity we have to have and keep an eye on what we live in the present relations, without judging or interpreting what we are living.
In other words, we must seek, at the moment In this case, relating through mindfulness allows us to leave our projections aside to interact with our children as they are, to be with them, to be with them, not to categorize or reflect on their actions.
rather than interacting with them, according to what we think they are or what they should be.
The exercise of mindfulness allows us to understand and accept our children in their specificity. This is even more essential for the parents of children who have deviations in their development, since, in addition to the projections that, in some situations, they can not achieve at the moment, they need to relate to parents, who often still they do not understand the trajectory of their development.
Seeking full attention is to allow us to be more present and whole in the affective and social interactions with our children. It is allowing us to be amazed at a smile that we do not expect and impact on their unexpected actions and learn from all they have to teach us.
Let's leave aside our projections , at least the moment we are with them, is to allow ourselves to be carried away by the delicious taste of the winds. And even if it is also important to give contingency to their movements, to feel their natural breeze on our faces and hearts is the best way to be with them and educate them.

Life is much more than just "finding someone"
A message for all the people who live against the meeting, looking for the "right person" and end up forgetting to live. For women who desperately expect their enchanted prince to arrive before they turn 30, and for men who feel inferior to their friends because everyone is already starting their families while they are "on the hook."
A life is much more than just meeting someone else.
Many people totally transform their lives when they begin to relate to someone, but not in a healthy way. They make the other person the center of their lives, and all they do is think about their good. They believe that relationships work that way, but they do not realize they are creating a toxic pattern. It takes a long time for them to realize that they are living for someone else and not for themselves.
When the relationship comes to an end, the person who has spent too much time sees himself alone, without the other that was his reason for
It takes time and a lot of internal work for these people to learn to be happy on their own without the presence of a romantic partner. However, once they are strengthened, they rarely repeat the same pattern, because the first experience has already been negative enough.
Pay attention to this, you do not need another person to be happy and successful ]
You have every right to be alone in your own company throughout your journey. Self-love must come before all other kinds of love. Do not enter into a relationship just to please your friends and family. Allow in your life only what YOU really want.
Understand that, although it is not perfect, you are enough. You have your own brilliance, you do not have to live in the rear of someone else. Recognize your value and be your own priority.
No person or relationship can provide you with all the happiness you need. This is totally in your hands. Take responsibility for your own life.
Free yourself from all your insecurities and fears. Life must be lived! So take the risk, let yourself go after your happiness. Do not close the doors that open in your life. Break down the wall that separates you from what the universe has prepared for you. Approach the people who love you and want your good and invest more in yourself.
Begin today to build your new life !

There are strong women and women who have not yet discovered their strength …
The strength of the woman !
Fragile? That nothing, we are ahead of our time, conquering more and more space and taken to the world our vision of subjects that, for a long time, "were not allowed". The month of March comes to remember that there are strong women and women who have not yet discovered their strength.
It also comes to remember that the "modern superwoman" has been accumulating more and more tasks – run the house, is good company for her boyfriend or husband and still seeks space in the labor market.
Double day? Negative, quadruple journey. With the long dreamed gender equality and increasingly inserted in the labor market, the superwoman often forgets about herself, trying to balance the various roles she has won for herself, often wondering "how am I supposed to do it?"
Although this picture, which is often exhausting and generates an enormous charge to be good in everything, today's woman has power of choice, autonomy, personal satisfaction and freedom and rights. We do have the ability to be multitasking, but we do not have to be superheroes always. We have the right to ask for help, to cry, to give chilique "with class", to be tired. And one of the new responsibilities of modern women is to rephrase the family context and to have a new posture in the home, to show that everyone needs to do their part and have more responsibilities.
Man must be the right arm of the superwoman, assuming other roles besides provider, relieving the heavy burden that often – wanting to please the society – the woman brings to itself.
It remains for us, women, to know how to take advantage of all the changes in the best possible way, taking care of us in the first place so that we may use our forces at their maximum potentiality .
Our strength is portrayed in novels, poems, songs and stories, but it must be alive above all in ourselves!
So, take your power, celebrate your life and use your voice to give strength to everything that still needs to be changed and improved in the scenery of women's achievements, after all March also comes to remember that we still have a great battle ahead.
We have many victories but we need join forces more and more to show the world that empowered women can be whatever they want.

For the right of each one to be what you want, without having to be explain
Why do we tend to believe that people owe explanations for being so or roasting? Where do we take that we have the right to "find" things about them? What mania is this that we have to judge others all the time?
Everyone can have their butt the size they want. The belly too. The hair, the nail, the clothes and whatever else. What do we have to see if so-and-so has become fat or has he been "sloppy"? In what does it influence us if that celebrity is "a board so thin" or if that other one resolves to use "Black Power" hair?
In addition, each person relates to who better suits him: man, woman or gender. . If you give us "little", it is our problem, only.
If one wants to drop everything and go out into the world, it is a matter of the person, and only of it.
If that acquaintance decides to release her husband – even if it is marvelous – or even to betray him, it is not to be. problem our. And if someone decides that he wants to become "natureba", activist, politician, "life" or "nothing," none of that definitely matters.
Let's get real and leave our moralism aside. It's all well and good that it may be a cultural matter to try to keep everyone in line, but that is far from over.
We have to let go of making judgments about the actions of others. Each takes your life the way you want and we do not need to "understand" your issues.
Even if it is someone close to us, that we love, if the person is bigger and able, we have to put ourselves in our role – that is to take responsibility for OUR life – and let her live hers as she sees fit. Let him break his face and repent, if that be the case, but let him make choices and argue with the consequences, even with the possibility of being immensely happy, although not in the way we imagined to be the "More appropriate."
We do not realize that we spend so much of OUR time and OUR energy caring for the lives of others, of the life of the world.
Yes, because analyzing the choices of neighbors, relatives, colleagues, artists, acquaintances and strangers is very demanding of us.
Let's stop stunning ourselves with other people's issues and start looking inside And, let us remember: perhaps what most disturbs us in others is the reflex of the that there is in us – desires or defects – just as in a mirror.
And then, with whom should we really worry?!

The more time we vibrate in the energy of our desires, the faster they manifest themselves
Vibrate in the good energy of your desires! "Do you want to test your power in the face of life?" Master your feelings. Take them wherever you want to vibrate. Let go of the discomfort, the suffering.
Feel it, feel it again, and other times and repeat it as many times as possible. Stay in the vibration of what you imagined, co-created and go adding details. Laugh with your thoughts, have fun with them. When you open your eyes in the morning thank what you have, what has not yet come and everything that comes along with what you want.
Listen to a song, imagine in the scenes, or in of the melody. If what you are experiencing at the moment is good, let this feeling remain within you and it becomes even stronger.
Think and feel wherever you are: lying in bed, under the shower, walking, in the car, on the bank queue, working. Even focusing on something you can expand the sensations.
And hold this energy for a long time in you. Take possession of what is yours.
Professor of Metaphysics and writer Neville Goddard wrote a book entitled "Feeling is the Secret" and advises against supporting anything bad. When an unwanted thought arises and we stay there nurturing more of the same, increasing the actions of what we are visualizing and vibrating, moving away totally from our connection with the Source.
Do not shelter what is not good . Do not give space. Our body is an emotional filter. Feeling precedes manifestation.
If what is manifesting before us does not do us good, just change. And even though it seems that we are running from reality in the eyes of the other, this is our true reality. That's where we need to focus and stay.
Want to test your power before life? Master your feelings. Take them wherever you want to vibrate. Let go of the discomfort, the suffering. If for some moment strange sensations make you feel unwell, stop, think: Why are you giving space for him to take care of your being?
Go changing slowly. It will always be a daily exercise. And suddenly you will realize that you are on the right path, that things are manifesting, you are learning the lesson and want to continue this study of yourself and your relationship with the Universe.
Propose to do things that the make happy: going to a temple, meeting with friends, dating, dancing, singing, meditating, reading, going out aimlessly, helping someone, being with the family, in touch with nature, watching a movie, reading, staying in peace alone.
And when what you're doing brings you pleasure, stay with it for as long as you can. Even if the things or people around you are not well, you can only do something if you are well, if you are in a better vibration in order to do your best.
When we focus on problems we believe we are showing the Universe that we are working on it and trying to solve it. It does not happen this way. We're just giving him power and not letting the solution come. You can not run after solutions all the time. From this perspective, that by opening ourselves to the Source, focusing on the situations resolved and the dreams realized without having to know exactly how to act and how everything will arrive, the answers come more quickly and things materialize in an incredible way.
Life without resistance is a delight to be lived.

May your story be the best of your life!
My story has beginning, middle and end; and as every good story has a well-embattled medium and the reader will have to pay close attention not to lose the thread of the skein.
Like every good story had a beginning, and at first it seemed kind of aimless, not knowing where to go, but I went ahead crawling, groping, walking first and then running, stumbling, falling, rising, laughing like I was in a big joke. Like every beginning of history, there were long descriptive paragraphs, a time to observe and learn, to know the world, people – the setting, the characters.
There is a chapter in my story (called adolescence) that is only dedicated to [19659004] to understand the main character. She talks for hours with the imaginary mirror, years in this interior monologue to seek her place in the world and revolt because the world did not seem to be her place.
And then it starts to get interesting: romance, adventure, the drama; a hint of comedy, sometimes a suspense and a fright. And in the history of my life so much happens and with so much intensity that barely gives time to understand all the events.
My story is equal to so many others, but at the same time so unique and different from any other history, that each day I myself enchant and surprise her.
The end is still undefined. I mean, really, everybody knows that every story, in the end, ends. But the end can also be synonymous with "objective" – not of end but of purpose. And the end, "the purpose" of the whole story, ah, those, yes, are well defined. They have always been, from the beginning, even if it were not clear, even if unconscious, because it is in the DNA of the soul.
And you? When you look at your story, from your earliest memories to today, what do you see?
What struck you, what shaped you, what you dreamed and what you did?
What story do you tell yourself, which is quite different from the edited story that you put on for vanity?
What did you have to give up and what did you insist, persist, resist, reexist? How is your timeline interior, history that makes sense, builds it, defines it, reveals it?
As I said, every story is unique, and this uniqueness makes your life more beautiful than you can imagine. At the same time, the plurality of stories lived in one life is what makes our existence such a rich experience on this planet.
So let it be a good story to be told; especially, that it is an unforgettable story to be lived!

Who speaks builds a castle for those who listen to inhabit it
A simple word may not change the world, but it can be magic in someone else's soul and touch the heart deeply transforming their lives forever.
The following are 7 examples of how what we say to others has power:
1. Encouragement for realizing dreams
A person who is tired of trying and frustrated that he can never succeed can think of giving up. A sweet word may be the incentive for one last attempt, which will change your life forever and make your dream come true. So, put the magic of perseverance into people's lives, the world already has too many critics.
2. It calms a wounded heart
Melancholy, sadness or depression. A defeat in life, a stab in the heart, a dream that vanished. Sweet words can touch this sad soul and change its energy by making believe in a happier tomorrow. The incentive is the bottom-up impulse to make believe that there are other opportunities, other loves, other laughs and other dreams.
3. It makes you believe in yourself
Sometimes people forget their own value. They feel rejected and lose the will to live. But your words can remind you of how special you are to the world. In quoting forgotten qualities, you are a mirror that reflects back the own light of people turning the end into a new beginning, because to believe in you is to follow in an infinite way.
4. Promotes Good
His words promote world peace. A subtle comment can make someone give up a revenge or calm their anger. And that power is transformative because you cut a negative energy that could spread throughout the world. Talk well with others, respect differences. Understand your faults. Honor the gift of the word that God gave you.
5. It makes you laugh
The ability to make you laugh is a treasure. Laughter soothes the soul and stress. It produces well-being, strengthens the immune system and, in addition to boosting self-esteem, helps eliminate depression. A simple joke can revolutionize someone's world. Do not be afraid to be silly, for your words can be an antidote to hate, to pain, and to make someone's smile a prayer to the world.
6. Emotions
Being able to move positively means having a higher soul. Emotion can lead us to delightful paths and incredible encounters with ourselves. Words that touch can soften pain, mature and heal wounds. Emotion also strengthens self-esteem, reducing shyness and combating depression. In addition, it helps us relate better to people and improves our sleep.
7. Attracts miracles
The word itself already has enormous power, when it is used in a prayer, then it can open the door of the world to the miracles of heaven. A phrase uttered in faith has the power to realize the graces that human reason is still unable to achieve.
Do you realize how much your word can be transformative? It is enough for you to choose to use it for good, because by making the life of just one person better, it is already possible to say that you have changed the world.
Now, if only the word already has this power,

Your happiness depends solely on you!
Like happiness, love is a state of mind. Feeling good, even being alone, is a privilege for the few. There are people who still insist on the theory that they need a love to find full happiness.
Like any other feeling, happiness comes from the inside out. And it will not be someone else who can bring it. Believe me, this is up to you.
Language created the word solitude to express the pain of being alone. And he created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone- Paul Tillich
There is a stark difference between the word "solitude" and the word "solitude". Loneliness is when you feel sad about being alone. Already solitude, is when you feel good, even alone. Many people confuse the meaning of these little words. However, let's talk about living solitude, finding reasons to be happy even if alone.
Relating is wonderful. Living next to someone happy and sharing that happiness to two is indescribable, however, the relationship can not be seen as the sole reason for their happiness.
Before entering into a relationship, you need to feel complete even if you are alone. It is not status that will change your state of mind, much less your way of looking at life and the beautiful things it has.
We are what we think, and what we think, we attract. If you are able to feel happy even single, life will put someone in your path who sees things the same way you do.
Understand, relationship is a complement. You will only find someone to complement you when you finally understand that being single is not synonymous with solitude . Once you understand this, you will be ready to live a life to two.

A glass with salt water and vinegar can help detect the negative energies in your home!
Each of us has its own energy and we often feel and absorb energies from the people around us, whether they are positive or negative.
The same thing happens with objects and places as well. When all these things happen, our first instinct is to find some response or "excuse" to explain this unknown feeling. However, these events are not just our wandering mind or just random odd experiences. They are directly related to the residual energy present in the objects around us.
Residual energy is that which remains in the object even after the end of our interaction with it. It may seem unrealistic, but people, objects, and even empty spaces can retain energy.
Something that the great majority of people do not know is that energy can unite with anything and anyone, and it remains for many, many years until it is clean.
In this way, there may be lots of negative energy in your home, without you noticing. It can influence your life and your family members, creating an infinite cycle of negativity and toxicity.
The sources of these energies can be varied. It could be yours at times when you were feeling stressed or pessimistic; of the people who live with you or even of those who occupied the house before your family.
So, how can we do to eliminate these negative energies?
It has been proven that our emotional energy has a concrete effect on water. From this knowledge we can make a simple experiment to eliminate the negative energies in our homes.
The necessary ingredients are:
- 2 tablespoons of white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated salt
- 475 ml of filtered water
Mix all the ingredients for at least one minute, put the mixture in a transparent glass and leave it in a room of your house in which you pass the majority of your time.
Do your usual things and leave the glass there. You may notice that the salt will rise on the glass. When it stops, it is because it has captured all negative energy in the environment. You can do the same experience in other rooms.
After identifying the negative energies, it's time to do a cleaning in your house. You can do this in several ways, with incense, essential oils, coarse salt, sage. Choose the option you prefer.
After this process, you will notice that your house will have a much more "light" and "clean" air.

Hey Lovely Readers! Did you survive the snow storm?! I must say I enjoyed having an excuse to stay inside and catch up on some TV series. The TV shows in my current rotation are Grey's, Gilmore Girls and the Bachelor. Hart of Dixie was in my rotation until recently when my boyfriend and I finished it during storm Jonas. As a result, we are now experiencing a loss in our weekly rotation. What TV shows have your attention right now? Leave a suggested TV series for us in the comment section!!
As for today's outfit of the day I was all about the layers! In order to stay warm I pile on the layers. This is great for when you will be spending time indoors, as well as, outdoors. Layers help me easily keep up with the change in temperature.
My scarf is new and a total splurge for me! I had been saving birthday and Christmas money for some new pieces to add and I am so excited to incorporate this one into my wardrobe. You will definitely be seeing a lot more of it!
My layering basics are both from Nordstrom and combined were under $30! Click here for shirt 1 and shirt 2. My leggings are from Madewell and a great price! Lastly, my adorable hat is from Grace! This was also a steal, only costing $10!
And let's not forget my obsession with Hunter boots! These grey ones are a definite must have.
Thanks for checking my post! And don't forget to post what your favorite TV shows are currently!
XO, Lauren

I recently had a birthday.
And because my friends here are the greatest of all time, it was one of the best birthdays I have ever had.
First of all, it lasted about five days long. Since my actual birthday fell on a Monday, we had to celebrate the weekend preceding it, and since we were all on vacation from work, that weekend started on Thursday night.
The new Fulbrighters had just arrived to Lima, so we took them out to one of our classic Barranco bars: HELP! It only exists on Thursdays, so it feels like a special night out on the town when we go.
On Friday night we went back to Barranco. We started the night at Mal de Amores, our favorite previo spot. We like it for the funky art and good chilcanos.
After Mal de Amores, we walked over to another Barranco classic – Victoria Bar!
Going to Victoria Bar had us all feeling nostalgic, because this is one of the first bars we ever went to in Lima!!
So I spent most of Saturday morning and afternoon sleeping, and little did I know that my friends were up to something. Basically, they were planning the greatest birthday party ever at my friend Abby's apartment! When I finally got dressed for the evening, I headed over to her place with my roomate Fiore. They had decorations!! and a cheese plate!!! Now, if that isn't a sign of great friendship, I don't know what is.
We had a few chilcanos and hung out while our intercultural group decided where to go out for the night.
My friends are just too sweet… before we went out, they brought out a delicious birthday cake!
And even better, it was from one of our favorite bakeries, Maga mis suspiros.
We finally made it out and spent the night dancing at Picas Bar in Barranco. It is a beautiful bar right underneath of the puente de los suspiros. We stayed out later than I would like to post publicly on this blog, but it was so much fun!!
And the celebration did not end on Saturday night. The next day, we went to our favorite Sunday brunch spot, Pan de la Chola, in Miraflores. They have the BEST sandwiches and even better baked goods.
My friends even brought a balloon and tied it to my chair. 🙂 They are too cute.
After lunch, Abby and I went to the market to buy veggies. I need to do some damage control. I think I've had a few too many sweets lately.
Oh yeah, and the party still didn't stop there. On Monday (the actual date of my birth), my friends and I had dinner at a sushi place. I can probably eat sushi every day of my life, so I was a pretty happy birthday girl. And yet again, the wonderful people that I am proud to call my friends celebrated by singing happy birthday and bringing a surprise birthday sushi out to the table.
After almost a full week of celebrations, my heart was absolutely filled with joy. This birthday celebration reminded me that all you need in life are a few good friends who won't leave your side, who will support you through everything, and who will do anything to make your life better each and every day.
By far, the best gift I received (and probably will ever receive) was this amazing, heartwarming, beautiful, thoughtful video that my friends made for me. They may or may not have showed it right before we were about to leave to go out on Saturday night, and I may or may not have cried.
It was a birthday filled with love and laughter, and one that I will never forget.

Contacting the Court
The Supreme Court Justices do not have e-mail addresses, but you can write to them at:
Justice (or Chief Justice) (Justice's Full Name)
Supreme Court of the United States
One First Street N.E.
Washington, DC 20543
Talking points for letters taken from: http://www.usccb.org/news/2015/15-011.cfm
Archbishop Cordileone noted, "It's hard to imagine how the essential meaning of marriage as between the two sexes, understood in our nation for over two hundred years, and consistent with every society throughout all of human history, could be declared illegal…One must ask: when did the Constitution suddenly mandate a novel and unfounded definition of marriage? To ask such a question is not a judgment, but a matter of justice and truth. The central issue at stake is: what is marriage? The answer is: a bond which unites a man and a woman to each other and to any children who come from their union. Only a man and a woman can unite their bodies in a way that creates a new human being. Marriage is thus a unique and beautiful reality which a society respects to its benefit or ignores to its peril."
Why can't marriage be "redefined" to include two men or two women?
The word "marriage" isn't simply a label that can be attached to different types of relationships. Instead, "marriage" reflects a deep reality – the natural union that is only possible between a man and a woman. As oxygen and hydrogen are essential to water, sexual difference is essential to marriage. The attempt to "redefine" marriage to include two persons of the same sex denies this reality. Just as the essence of water cannot be redefine, so also, marriage cannot be redefined to mean what it is not
Why does a person's gender matter for marriage?
Gender matters for marriage because the body matters for love. My identity as a person (my "I") is inseparable from the reality of my body. It is a deeply personal reality, not just a biological fact. Loving as a human person means loving as a man or as a woman. The body is not simply an object or a tool; it is intrinsically linked to the person. Marriage is intrinsically opposite-sex.
Why is a child meant to have both a father and a mother?
The fact is every single child, without exception, does have a mother and a father. Sexual difference between a husband and wife is necessary to conceive a child, and the importance does not end there. Men and women bring unique gifts to the shared task of parenting, as father and mother. Only a woman can be a mother. Only a man can be a father. Each contributes uniquely in nurturing children to understand their identity as male or female. Respecting a child's dignity means affirming his or her need for – and right to – a mother and a father.
What harm will result of same-sex "marriage"?
Marriage has great public significance, and laws always promote a vision of "the common good." Because of this, redefining civil "marriage" to include two persons of the same sex would have far-reaching consequences in society. Law is a teacher, and such a law would teach many bad lessons, backed by the moral authority, financial resources, and coercive power of the state, such as the following: that marriage is only about the romantic fulfillment of adults and has nothing to do with legally attaching parents to the children they procreate, so that each child may have his or her right to a mother and father safeguarded, and his or her development and well-being served to the greatest extent possible; that mothers and fathers are wholly interchangeable and, in turn, that gender is inconsequential, both to the development of children and more broadly; that same-sex sexual conduct is not merely morally permissible, but a positive good equal in moral value to marital sex, and so worthy of the same protection and support of society by law; that people who adhere to the perennial and universal definition of marriage are bigots, whose beliefs can only be explained by hatred for persons with a homosexual inclination, and whom, in turn, the state has a duty to punish and marginalize for persisting in those beliefs.
Is this an issue of equality or discrimination?
Treating different things differently is not unjust discrimination. Marriage can only be between a man and a woman. There's nothing else like it. Only a man and a woman are capable of giving themselves to each other so that "the two become one flesh," and only a man and a woman are capable of sexual activity that may yield children. The government has a very strong interest in protecting the right of those children to a mother and a father, and in reducing the likelihood that those children will become wards of the state. The civil law of marriage serves both these interests by legally bonding adult couples to any children they may create, and to each other. The sexual activity of two persons of the same-sex never yields children, so the government's interest in bonding same-sex "couples" is different and weaker. Government is thus eminently reasonable, and in no way unjust, in distinguishing between two persons of the same sex and a different-sex couple in conferring the rights and duties of legal marriage.

The 12-year-old boy shot by an elderly woman who was being attacked with bricks is in psychiatric care, his mother says.The boy, charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault, did not appear in Juvenile Court today alongside his alleged 13-year-old accomplice.
The 12-year-old's mother told Judge Andrew Berman that the boy has been hospitalized since Oct. 3, recovering from the trauma of being shot in the shoulder.
Police say 68-year-old Margaret Matthews went grocery shopping last month and returned to her South Shore home to find her windows broken and two boys running away. When the boys returned, she stepped onto her porch and the boys threw bricks at her, police said.

Chroma Type 301: 8\" Carving Knife
Free Shipping
- Chroma
- Standard
- Chroma type 301: 8 Carving Knife P05 A carving knife is used to carve poultry, roasts, hams, and other large cooked meats. A carving knife is much thinner than a chef's knife (particularly at the spine) and they are generally shorter and wider than slicers, enabling them to make thin precise slices. The handle of the Type 301 by F.A. Porsche is constructed of 18/10 stainle steel, and the blade is made of high-quality Japanese 301 steel. The blade of each knife is carefully sharpened by the hand of a master. The advantages Type 301 are: An ergonomic handle - designed by F.A. Porsche working with the chef of the decade, J oumlrg Wörther A metal pearl that clearly demarcates the end of the handle, for better control when cutting A seamless perfection and hygienic transition from blade to handle A special grinding method is used, so the knife stays sharp longer and is easier to sharpen Never place the knife in the dishwasher. Hand wash and dry after every use. Regularly sharpen the knife using the original Type 301 whetstone. Under no circumstances should a sharpening steel be used, as it will damage the blade. Store the knife in a safe, secure manner, for example, in a knife block so the blade is not left exposed. Only use wooden or plastic cutting boards, never marble or glass when cutting with a Type 301. Only use the knife to prepare food. Do not use it to cut frozen foods, bones, or as a utility knife.

Having a slow cooker is must for me beside than having a smoker. I need this machine for precooking of my meat. Meat is actually pretty hard to be smoked. It takes so much time and I cannot stand it with it. I actually pretty busy right now, but I cannot stop smoking of my beef every week. In order to cut the cooking time for it, I end up precooking it on my slow cooker the night before I use it. It could the processing time to half and it really good.
You might not notice it, but slow cooker is once again becoming pretty popular. This kind of tool is actually pretty famous back in the 1970 because it is cheap price and great usage. But now the product is not like that popular, but the trend of using it is coming back in the 2017. If you do not know what kind of product it is or want to know more about it, then you should really read this article since we are going to show you some recommendation for it. So, here are my top recommendations for slow cooker in 2017.
Crook-Pot 6 Quart Slow Cooker
This product is on the top my list because of its nice design and great usage. First, the product is fully made from stainless steel and it is really looks nice. I do not see this one like a cheap product because it looks so premium. The material itself is actually not easy to be scratched. I have tested it by using some sharp tool and it is tough be scratched. Remember that it is not fully protected from scratch, but for me that is more than enough.
The nice feature that you are going to get here is the lock system that company put here. The handles are easy to carry and the safety lock system is really great. The food would be safely on the inside and you do not need to worry of its spilling even on the serious condition.
The size of this product is considerably as big and means that you are able to feed of some people easy with this machine. I see that you could almost able to fit anything here. The product is fully supported by timer setting and you could set it to anytime that you want. After the timer stop, the slow cooker would go into the warmer setting and it keeps your food from being cold.
Cuisinart 3 In 1 Slow Cooker
Like the title said the product is having three in one mode that you could very easily. You could steam and sauté any food you want with this machine. The inner pot of this one is also made from non-stick material which is easy to be cleaned by putting it into your dishwater. There is also a 24 hours cooking system which led you to use the device without worrying that your food would go into cold.
The product is made from stainless material and it has PTFE certified. The material is not easily getting scratched, but it is not recommended to use any metal material since it could break the material.
I cannot recommend any other slow cooker beside than this one. One thing that I should note here is the energy that this product is using. The product needs 1500 watts and its quite bothering people to have it. That is the only thing that you need to consider about it.
Chefman 5 Quart Slow Cooker
The product is actually pretty unique since the inner pot is made from stoneware. Having stoneware inner pot is having so many advantages. One of them is the food would never get stick into your pot no matter how serious it is. Plus, stoneware is pretty easy to be cleaned and you do not need to put your much energy on it.
One thing that I love here is the stoneware insert is pretty easy to be replaced. If the inner pot is broken the replacement is pretty easy to be found and it is also cheap. The inner pot is pretty tough and I am sure you do not need to replace one for many years if you keep it in the good way.
This product is one of the best alternatives if you want good alternative one for a slow cooker. I have this product for couple months and I do not having any problem until now.
Final Thought
You could depend on precooking of your meat on using this kind of tool. The tool is must to have if you are a fan of BBQ smoker. I hope this information would be useful to you and you could use this list as your best recommendation.
Taylor Swift always hits the world with her songs and achievements. Her song is always well-accepted. She is never absent from being nominee in music awards a Grammy. She always wins the award every year. As she just won Grammy Award 2016 for Best Vocal Pop, Best Music Video and Album of The Years categories. She is amazing right?
Her speech in Grammy Award 2016 is very encouraging and inspirational. She encourages women by saying,
"I want to say to all the young women out there: There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishment or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you're going you'll look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there."
With her speech, Taylor Swift encourages women to be strong and awesome. For her, women should be strong to achieve success. People may be cruel as they keep criticizing. It should not be a serious matter for women if they focus to achieve their dream. By the end, they will realize that it is just a path to walk. Taylor Swift has experienced it herself; her haters keep criticizing but she just keeps moving on.
Inspiration can come from many ways, which include love life. Taylor Swift often writes her love life into a good song. Later, her songs which are based on her own love life are well-accepted and well-appreciated. For instance, she has ever dated John Mayer. Along with their date, they often perform together or have a music project. When they break up, Swift writes "Dear John". It is an open-letter song for an ex-boyfriend. Some critics argue that Swift dedicates this song for John Mayer.
Swift also writes some other songs which are expected as her story about her ex-boyfriends. Besides "Dear John" which may be dedicated for John Mayer, Swift also writes "Last Kiss" as her story with Joe Jonas. She indirectly apologizes to Taylor Lautner with her song "Back to December". Later after Swift breaks up with Jake Gyllenhaal, her song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is released. There are some other songs that Swift writes and they become popular. What we learn from Swift is being heartbroken does not mean being trapped in sadness. Instead, you can create a masterpiece that will be widely-appreciated.
Taylor Swift is widely popular and talented. She has been awarded for her music and songs. She often gets inspiration from her love life; her ex-boyfriends.

In the last week, there has been a big change in marriage equality in Oklahoma. With the Supreme Court's decision to not take up appeals from several states, the Court has made same-sex marriage a reality for Oklahomans. I am overjoyed that my gay friends can now marry the people they love!
Yet, I believe this should raise a few questions for the polyamory community:
- What does this mean for the definition of marriage in America?
- Should polyamorists rally for the right to marry multiple partners?
Personally, I believe that marriage is made up of 2 different facets. One is a legal function. The other is a religious ceremony. To put it another way, there is a separation between the marriage contract and the marriage ceremony. I can't argue that we should force any religion to officiate a marriage ceremony if it violates their concept of marriage so that point is moot.
However, I think that the legal function can be argued. The marriage contract is just that - a contract. Yes, it is prettied-up in a flowery language but it is nothing more than a contract that merges assets and where each person assumes responsibility for the other marriage partner and the success of the marriage partnership.
Under this idea, why is the marriage contract limited to just 2 people? Contracts with multiple partners are drawn up all the time. Personally, I am involved in multiple business contracts that involve multiple people and entities. Further, corporations are nothing more than contracts between multiple people with certain rights of ownership of assets, responsibility and liability.
Did I just take romance out of the idea of marriage? Well, yes I did. Because there is no romance in a contract.
But let's think about this: If a corporation or legal partnership can have the same functions as a marriage, do we really need a marriage between multiple partners? I believe there is merit in having a marriage between multiple partners. Our legal system uses "marriage" as a sort of umbrella idea or shorthand for certain legal areas. For example, if my partner was in the hospital, our marriage gives me certain rights because of the "marriage umbrella". Can those same rights be obtained through a corporate approach? Most likely yes. However, hospitals are not prepared to review contracts to determine legal rights. If you are married, the word "married" automatically gives you certain rights. Being "contractually responsible" is going to involve lawyers and legal departments - meanwhile precious time is being wasted.
However, it's not just about marriage. What about divorce? Let's say that Alice, Bob and Dave are married. Alice decides that she wants out of the marriage. How does the division of assets work? What if there were kids involved? No, I'm not arguing "WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?!!!" I am asking the question of parental responsibility and rights such as child support, etc. The legal umbrella of marriage often gives or restricts parental rights.
Let's also think about a situation where Alice, Bob and Dave are married. Dave has been dating Chelsea for a year and wants to bring her into the marriage. Alice and Dave agree to it, but Bob doesn't want to be married to Chelsea as well. How does that work out? Is it as simple as majority rule or do we require unanimity among the partners?
The legal history of plural marriage is an exercise in Mormon history. It starts with Reynolds v. United States which upheld the federal ban on polygamy. It has universally been upheld through various challenges over the last 125 years however that is changing. A case brought by Kody Brown (of the Sister Wives TV show) challenging the Utah ban on cohabitation was upheld by a federal judge as violating the Browns' 1st and 14th Amendment rights. The decision is likely to be appealed and is fairly narrow in scope, but hopefully it is a place to start the conversation.
So where do I stand? Well, it's complicated. I believe that polyamorists should have the right to marry whomever they choose. Yet, the system we have is fraught with potholes and legal gray areas and it would be difficult to force a plural marriage structure into that system.
But, ultimately the recent actions of the Supreme Court give me hope.
And hope is where it all starts.

PNB's Rs 110-bn fraud case isn't out-of-control, says FinMin official

The finance ministry today sought to allay worries over the Rs 113 billion fraud case at Punjab National Bank, saying the case not "out-of-control" and it is taking action in this respect.

"I dont think this is out of control or too big a worry at this point. That is my broad sense," Joint Secretary in Department of Financial Services Lok Rajan said on the sidelines of an event here.
Earlier in the morning Punjab National Bank (PNB) disclosed that it has detected some fraudulent transactions with financial implication of USD 1.171 billion (about Rs 11,334.4 crore) and the matter has been referred to law enforcement agencies for the recovery.
Based on these transactions, other banks appear to have advanced money to these customers abroad, it said.
Punjab National Bank on Wednesday also suspended 10 officials in connection with jewellery designer Nirav Modi fraud case.
In the bank these transactions are contingent in nature and liability arising out of these on the bank shall be decided based on the law and genuineness of underlying transactions. The quantum of such transactions is USD 1771.69 million (approx), it said.
The matter is already referred to law enforcement agencies to examine and book the culprits as per law of the land. The bank is committed to clean and transparent banking, PNB said.
This is the second incidence in less than 10 days where a bank has been defrauded. On February 5, the CBI booked billionaire diamond merchant Nirav Modi, his wife, brother, and a business partner for allegedly cheating Punjab National Bank of over Rs 2.80 billion during 2017.
The CBI has acted on a complaint from the PNB, which alleged that Modi, his brother Nishal, wife Ami and Mehul Chinubhai Choksi were in conspiracy with officials of the bank and cheated it, causing "wrongful loss".

From the ballet's start, the glamour of the Austro-Hungarian court is contrasted with undercurrents of sexual and political intrigue that drive the story to its violent climax in a double suicide. The large cast allows for impressive ensembles in addition to the ballet's many solos of distinctive character and pas de deux of disturbing eroticism.

Virtuoso leading roles, a large chorus, sensational sets, ballet and an ecstatic finale make this the epitome of theatrical spectacle – the lavish scale of French grand opera is wonderfully in evidence in this production by David McVicar , set in 1870s Paris.

The contemporary face of The Royal Ballet is shown in works from three of today's leading choreographers. Christopher Wheeldon's Within the Golden Hour is based around seven couples separating and intermingling, to music by Vivaldi and Bosso and lit with rich colours suggested by sunset. Crystal Pite's Flight Pattern, revived for the first time, uses a large dance ensemble and Górecki's familiar music from his Symphony of Sorrowful Songs for a poignant and passionate reflection on migration. Between them, a new work by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, created on The Royal Ballet has its premiere to bring the contemporary truly up-to-date.
Romeo And Juliet [TBC]
Feature Length 195 minutes
ROH Ballet
Shakespeare's enduring love story is known the world over. Since its 1965 premiere with The Royal Ballet, Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet has become a modern ballet classic.

Each revival gives opportunities for new dancers to interpret the doomed lovers. The whole Company brings the colour and action of Renaissance Verona, where a busy market all too quickly bursts into sword fighting, and a family feud leads to tragedy for both the Montagues and Capulets.

We all do it rather it be a New Years resolution to lose weight or just waking up one day saying to yourself I'm ready to lose some weight.
You really keep up the weight loss motivation for about a week or maybe two and then it starts to all fall apart when you jog past the ice cream shop and eventually you are back to where you once started, so how do you keep yourself motivated to stay on track with your weight loss goals? In this post I'm going to list a few awesome tips to keep you going strong.
Top 10 Ways To Keep Motivated When Losing Weight
- Finding a partner to lose weight with really helps the both of you by keeping you accountable to each other. This could easily be your spouse, friend or someone you met at the park either way this is a great way to keep you going with your weight loss goals.
- You could always hire a professional trainer to guide you and be your weight loss buddy. Professional trainer rates will and do vary greatly, but if you want the best weight loss coach expect to pay for it. After all you wouldn't want someone who looks like they just got off a family guy episode, so I guess what I'm saying is you get what you pay for most of the time when it comes to hiring a weight loss personal trainer.
- If you do not have a friend or significant other or don't have the funds for a personal trainer no need to worry! You can start a weight loss blog and post about your goals and keep track of your progress. Your readers of your blog do a pretty good job at helping you stay motivated.
- Keep a food log and track your progress. You can learn more about how to keep a food log here.
- Join a gym! By joining a gym it helps give you a place to find like minded individuals who are at all sorts of stages with their health. One of the best things about a gym is that most have classes that you can attend such as yoga, aerobics and the real good ones will have classes that teach you about nutrition.
- Believe it or not a lot of people forget about this simple trick to help keep you going. Take a before picture of yourself with how you look now and then every few weeks take another picture and this will really help keep you motivated.
- Join a weight loss challenge like our 90 Day Skinny Fiber weight loss Challenge were you get to compete against other people and win t-shirts and you could even win a 1,000 dollars the thing about it is that it really makes it fun to lose weight that you wanna lose to start with so why not try to win some cool stuff.
- When you have the feeling of I'm not doing this today remind yourself that is how you got the way you are in the first place, so suck it up and get at it get mad and use that as a drive to do it.
- Do your best to prevent lack of motivation to start with by tossing out all the sweets and only buying healthy foods and snacks. At first you will feel as though why did I do that, but in time you will get use to it.
- If you have a pair of pants around that use to fit you keep them and every once in awhile try to fit back into them and once you do fit back into them you will feel so proud of yourself that you will want to continue to keep up with your weight loss goals.

General Info
National Conservation Leadership with Local Wildlife Habitat Results
Pheasants Forever empowers local chapters with the responsibility to determine how 100 percent of their locally raised conservation funds will be spent – the only national conservation organization that operates through this truly grassroots structure. As a result, chapter volunteers are able to see the fruits of their efforts locally, while belonging to a larger national organization with a voice on federal and state conservation policy.
Pheasants Forever members are a diversified group of hunters, non-hunters, farmers, ranchers, landowners, conservation enthusiasts and wildlife officials. Pheasants Forever is for those who want to make a difference for wildlife by creating habitat, restoring wetlands and protecting prairies.
Some of the things we do:
Wildlife Habitat Projects – The system of empowering local chapters and volunteers to make the best decisions for wildlife in their local area has resulted in the average annual completion of over 20,000 projects. Since its inception in 1982, Pheasants Forever's wildlife habitat projects have benefited more than 5.3 million acres across the continent. In that time, PF has participated in over 1,000 different land acquisitions totaling over 135,000 acres. Those land acquisition projects have been completed in conjunction with local, state and federal natural resource agencies, and all of those projects are today open to public hunting.
Habitat Conservation Advocacy – Pheasants Forever'S mission is directly tied to a strong framework of federal conservation programs. Authority for critical conservation programs, such as the Conservation and Wetlands Reserve Program, is granted by the U.S. Congress in the Federal Farm Bill's Conservation Title. In total, federal farm conservation programs allow us to manage nearly 50 million acres for wildlife habitat. Your Sagamore PF chapter lobbies personally with state and federal elected officials to preserve funding for important initiatives that protect and build habitat! Without you, this can't happen.
Habitat Conservation Education – Pheasants Forever has developed programs and materials that promote education and public awareness, including its Ringnecks and Whistlers youth programs and the Leopold Education Project. Locally, the Sagamore Chapter has worked with the Indiana DNR to sponsor a free pheasant hunting day for youth in our area. This has been highly successful and has brought many youth into the sport that would never have had a chance to get into the outdoors. We also sponsor and provide firearms safety training. Our mobile shooting trailer provides youth with an opportunity to develop safe and skilled firearms handling.
The Sagamore Chapter also works with and supports the national initiative called Ringnecks. The PF Ringnecks Program is dedicated to introducing youth to hunting, shooting sports and outdoor conservation through youth events, education, community service and cooperation with both governmental and non-governmental partnerships. Through a variety of programs, youth will gain knowledge, learn skills and develop a land ethic necessary to be responsible hunters and conservationists. As they grow up, they can in turn pass on the outdoor traditions of their youth to future generations. Bring your Ringnecks to our next banquet! They will have a blast.
The Sagamore PF Chapter hosts an annual banquet each fall. This banquet is one of the bigger sources of generating funds to support our habitat and youth projects. The banquet committee works hard to have a fun and lively program that everyone can enjoy. There are always opportunities to get involved in the local chapter and working on the banquet committee is a great way to start.

On Friday's broadcast of Hugh Hewitt's radio program, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer reacted to remarks made by President Barack Obama at Thursday's National Prayer Breakfast.
Krauthammer criticized Obama primarily for invoking the Inquisition and the Crusades on the heels of the ISIS video showing the burning of a Jordanian pilot.
"I actually think he was doing it, he'll trot it out when he does the Iran deal, but the more immediate thing was simply to dismiss the barbarism that we saw with the immolation of the Jordanian pilot, and to make everybody believe that this is really nothing out of the ordinary," Krauthammer said. "I mean, here, and the bad, this is a combination of the banal and the repulsive. The banal is the adolescent who discovers that well, man is fallen, and many religions have abused their faith and used it as a weapon. This is what you discover when you're 12, or 17, and what you discuss in the Columbia dorm room. He's now bringing it to the world as a kind of a revelation, and he does it two days after the world is still in shock by the video of the burning alive of the Jordanian pilot as a way of saying hey, what about Joan of Arc? I mean, this is so distasteful."
"And you know, there's one thing I didn't even think about until now," he continued. "What the hell is he doing bringing India into this? I mean, it's the first time I've heard India drawn into this discussion. Here he is essentially insulting, and it's because it's a Hindu country. It's not Muslim. I mean, he'll say in the name of Christ. He won't say in the name of Muhammad and in the name of Allah. He won't use those words. And then he goes after India, which is probably our strongest, most stable, most remarkable, democratic ally on the planet, considering all the languages and religions that it harbors. It has the second-largest Muslim population on Earth. And yet he goes after it as a way of saying hey, everybody here is at fault. They are not at fault. The Crusades ended 800 years ago. There's not a big inquisition going on today. Joan of Arc was not yesterday. The Jordanian pilot was two days ago."
