Tiffany's Naturally Sunlit Bedroom
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Tiffany
- Location:
- Brooklyn, NY
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- We love how bright the space is. During the day, it is filled with natural sunlight and at night our light fixtures give off a relaxing and romantic glow. The white walls (previously dark grey) are also the perfect background for a refreshing retreat from the outside chaos of NYC life. We can relax with reduced distractions and think openly about new, creative endeavors.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?:
- Know where everything you own âlivesâ and have a plan for anything new needed or wanted. For us, this meant starting with a great purge before moving in together. Any piece of furniture, décor, or clothing was evaluated for its functionality, necessity, and quality. We sold and donated many items and cautiously bought new things only if they maximized the potential use of the space and streamlined the procedures of daily life. Now it is just a matter of managing the organization and remaining observant to our everyday and seasonal routines, allowing for adjustments as needed.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?:
- Rob and I are both designers (Graphic Designer and Architect) and it was important for us to have a workspace for our professional and personal projects. Not only do we have a large desk that accommodates us both when at the computer and drawing, but the entire room has become a background for DIY projects: a Lindsey Adelman chandelier, gold-leaf dipped furniture legs, patinaed dresser knobs, a canvas with hidden folding brackets that doubles as a projector stand, and an evolving photo collage.

Why I cannot keep aran in its proper place on the wool-weight spectrum will perhaps remain a mystery for the ages.
And that's where I made my mistake. My head was turned by the superior yardage of the Rowan Scottish Tweed Aran and without thinking, I placed my order. Only to be confronted a few days later with some very chunky wool. Which is now becoming a very chunky shawl.
I am resigned and stoic about my fate. In the end, and come winter,* I think the shawl will serve its chunky purpose. I've also ordered some 4-ply wool, just in case.
* There is winter in Nashville, right? I'm betting a lot on this season actually existing.

« bird feeders
Watching birds out my kitchen window as I make meals for my family has brought me joy and sometimes a distraction or two that has resulted in some over baked cookies or delayed suppers. Sometimes I have to put everything on hold and grab my binoculars to get a closer look or quick browse the field guide to figure out the new bird that had just landed on our feeders. Thankfully my family has understood that bird visits are unplanned events to be enjoyed and they know I will get supper on the table eventually. I invite you to journey with me as I share my birding encounters and passion for backyard birds and more...

Orchestrating the logistics of this world first was no mean feat. Shortly before daily quests reset at 4 AM CDT, we zoned in to Blackwing Descent to pull the Omnotron Defence System boss. As this fight has no enrage mechanic, we were able to keep the boss at 10 % health until that magic moment when dailies rolled over, whereupon we quickly downed him and scored our last guild achievement, Raid Challenges, at 04:01 AM. This was but the crowning moment of a long and ambitious journey that we'd embarked upon since Cataclysm release.
Initially, we had not planned to push for world first Guild Achievements due to our inability to recruit a High Warlord hunter for the Guild High Warlords achievement. Early in March, however, we were able to find the very elusive HWL hunter. With this obstacle behind us, we were able to take a step back and seriously consider just what it might take to become the first guild in the world to complete all achievements. Since the Raid Challenges achievement required 50 lockout cycles, this feat would not become possible for another four lockouts. That gave us approximately three and a half weeks to grind out the few achievements that we lacked and poise ourselves to take the world first. As there was not much else to aspire to during farm, we became very intent on claiming this prize for ourselves.
Although we only had four achievements to complete before the big day, actually doing so proved to be a logistical nightmare. In a span of less than 28 days, we managed to hammer out over 2300 RBG wins (including a fair number of Arathi Basin 5-cap wins), caught more than 13400 fish from pools across Azeroth, and completed over 8100 daily quests. The road was certainly long and, at times, arduous, but it is a testament to the sheer dedication of our members that we were able to complete these achievements nearly a week ahead of schedule!
Looking forward, Blood Legion's army of alts is showing its full force as we prepare ourselves to the utmost for whatever content Blizzard can throw at us. We're up to 53 Life-Binder's Handmaiden farmed thus far, and still going strong with seven more incoming each raid cycle.
As always, we eagerly await what secrets will be revealed to the boldest of adventurers when the Mists of Pandaria part at last...

Last week, it was reported that Apple had once again become the world's largest smartphone maker. Turns out this was due to the fact that Apple sold 37 million iPhones last quarter alone! Now, Morgan Stanley believes that Apple will partner up with both China Telecom and China Mobile "over the next year" to make its iPhone available on all three Chinese carriers. That may not sound amazing, but what does is the fact that Morgan Stanley believes that the company will be able to sell up to 40M iPhones in China alone in the next calendar year. This means that Apple could soon sell as many iPhones in China as it sells in the rest of the world combined!
Remember, Apple sold 37 million iPhones last quarter worldwide, but this estimate is for one country alone. Analyst Katy Huberty suggested the huge untapped potential for the iPhone in China. According to her, Apple can only possibly reach 10 percent of the 150 million "high-end Chinese subscribers" in the country through its current partnership with China Unicom. Last year, Tim Cook said that Apple was only "scratching the surface" in China. She says that she sees a base case of 26 million incremental iPhone sales in China during the 2013 calendar year with the addition of China Mobile and China Telecom. Her bull case suggests 40 million units for an increase of $10 in earnings per share.
The analyst also suggests that if Apple sees a 20 percent penetration of China Mobile's subscribers as the company has reached with China Unicom, the iPhone maker would be able to sell 24 million handsets on China Mobile alone next year. Due to the fact that 3G and smartphone penetration in China is "increasing at a fast clip" she believes that the company could sell as many as 36 million units on China Mobile in 2013.
In China, China Mobile is the world's largest carrier, and offers service to an estimated 120 million high-end subscribers who pay more than 100RMB ($16) a month. The final 10 percent of high-end subscribers are on China Telecom, the third-largest carrier in China.
I'm trying to think of another company that is expected to sell as many phones in China as it sells in the rest of the world combined. Anyone?

A week that begins with flood warnings is set for a sunny finish.
A 'yellow' warning of rain has been issued by the Met Office for Sunday and Monday, with torrential downpours and thunder possible in some areas.
This could result in flooding in some areas.
But as the week goes on the weather is expected to clear, with temperatures approaching 19 degrees towards the end of the week.

The Weirdest Things in All 50 States [VIDEO]
Each state has its share of oddball things. While Georgia may boast a giant Jimmy Carter peanut statue, other states have their claim to fame such as a house made of paper in Massachusetts. Maybe the Santa House in Alaska is more your style, or you're itching to see the Creepy Nightmare Whale in Oklahoma. While this video certainly doesn't show all of the strangest sights in our great country, you might find a gem you weren't aware of before.
How do you think they did on their selection for Texas? Should they have chosen something different?

WASHINGTON — The Asiana Airlines captain who crashed a Boeing 777 at San Francisco International Airport in July told investigators he was stressed out and "very concerned" about attempting a visual approach because the runway's automatic warning systems were out of service due to construction, according to an investigative report released Wednesday.
Lee Kang Kuk, a 46-year-old pilot who was landing the big jet for his first time at San Francisco, "stated it was very difficult to perform a visual approach with a heavy airplane." The jet crash landed after approaching low and slow in an accident that left three dead and more than 150 injured.
The report was released at the start of a daylong National Transportation Safety Board hearing into the accident.
"In this hearing, we will learn about the facts of the crash, but we will also learn about the factors that enabled so many to walk away. We will focus not only on the human machine interface in highly automated aircraft, but also on emergency response," said NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman, opening the hearing.
The trainee captain told investigators that he realized others had been landing at San Francisco without the glide slope indicator, a technology that helps pilots land at the airport. That system was out of service while the runway was expanded, and has since been restarted.
Interviews with the pilots who were in the cockpit indicated a nervous trainee captain, while the other two pilots recognized too late they were coming in too low and slow.
When asked if he was concerned about his ability to perform the visual approach, Lee said "very concerned, yea."
A former Boeing 777 foreign captain at Asiana told investigators he found it "extremely difficult" to get pilots to fly visual approaches, and that they usually wanted to take off rather than land. In clear weather, it's not unusual for pilots to make a visual approach, using the view through their windshield.
San Francisco Fire Department Assistant Deputy Chief Dale Carnes is also scheduled to talk at the hearing about how a fire truck racing toward the burning plane ran over a survivor on the tarmac.
Footage taken after the crash showed a fire truck running over 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan while she was lying on the tarmac covered with fire-retardant foam. The San Mateo County coroner later ruled that she was killed by the truck.
Attorneys representing some of the more than 60 crash victims suing the airline and Boeing Co. plan to attend the hearing. Asiana Airlines is also offering $10,000 to each of the surviving passengers, a payout the airline says is not a settlement and does not prevent passengers from suing the airline.
The hearing was originally scheduled to run for two days, starting Tuesday, but it was postponed because of wintry weather in Washington, D.C. The crash was the first commercial airline crash in the U.S. since a crash near Buffalo, N.Y., in 2009.

Statement By Donna E. Shalala
Statement By Donna E. Shalala
Secretary of Health and Human Services
Regarding the First Complete Sequencing of a Human Chromosome
December 1999
Secretary Donna Shalala:
Today we mark yet another important milestone in our journey to unravel the mysteries of how a single cell develops into a unique human being. Scientists in England, the United States and Japan, working under the umbrella of the ambitious international Human Genome Project, have unraveled the DNA code of an entire human chromosome. Their sequence of the 33 million DNA letters of chromosome 22 represents the longest continuous stretch of DNA code ever to be deciphered.
This achievement follows on the heels of another major accomplishment of the Human Genome Project: the accumulation of one billion DNA letters, or base pairs, of the entire human genome, which is spread over 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Today's announcement is especially exciting because we can now see many future milestones that will occur with increasing speed and more chromosomes whose DNA code will be completely sequenced, until the entire human genome is finished and freely and readily accessible to everyone by the year 2003 or sooner.
More than 200 scientists contributed to the sequencing of human chromosome 22. I congratulate all of them for their dedication and ingenuity and for making all their data freely available to anyone in the world with access to the Internet.
In fact, all of the DNA sequences produced by the Human Genome Project are accessible through the public database GenBank [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov], which is operated by the National Institutes of Health. As each new piece of DNA code is deciphered, it is added to the database, giving scientists worldwide an ever-growing repository of data. As a result, our progress in mapping the entire human genome continues to accelerate.
This accomplishment is a foreshadowing of the knowledge that will be revealed when all the human chromosomes are spelled out by the Human Genome Project in the coming months and years."

It turned into a "beautiful day" for dozens of star struck U2 fans in Winnipeg Friday. Crowds of fans and onlookers gathered outside the Burton Cummings Theatre for a chance to meet the famous rockers, who said they're happy to be back in Manitoba for the first time in 15 years.
"You know Winnipeg, we need to spend more time to get to know the place," said legendary U2 rock star Bono. "We get to know the people, but we don't get to know the place, it's funny."
"I got to hug him and take a picture with bono and he shook my hand," said Jadeen Sinclair, who was shaking with excitement. "All I had was my beginner's license," said Liam Gillen. "So I had him sign it."
The band showed up to shoot part of a documentary inside the legendary venue. But they took several minutes to mingle with fans and sign autographs.
"What a sweet man to stop," said Tara Gouzecky. "He could have gone right in there but he stopped and I'm glad he did."
Meanwhile, the tour released 1,000 more tickets for todays show at the Canad Inns Stadium Saturday afternoon and offered the media a sneak peak of their set. A huge 360-degree stage is set up close to the centre of the Canad Inns Stadium, and a four-legged steel structure holds a massive speaker system and cylindrical video screen that hovers above the performance area. ( Click the link belong to get to the tickets)
Bono and crew will perform in front of tens of thousands of fans at Canad Inns Stadium Sunday as part of their 360 Degree Tour. The band hasn't played in Winnipeg since 1997.

I have a wheat allergy, and it means I cannot eat many of my favorite foods :( so I am always on a mission to find good wheat free recipes!
One of my favorite things is a shrimp tempura onigiri. I love them so much, and I used to eat them almost every lunch at work, but now I cannot eat them because the batter has wheat in it! Is there anyway to make tempura without wheat? Or is it just disgusting then?
If you have any wheat free tempura recipes, please share! I would really appreciate it ^^ and my belly would thank you too :3 hehe
"Try, fail, fail again, but fail better" Dr. Kevin Cahill
try the standard recipe using all riceflour instead of wheatflour.
if too crispy add 30% soy flour
This recipe is tried and tested many times and it's totally yummy http://www.wheat-free.org/crispy-king-prawns.html
The characteristic of tempura batter is that it's airy and crispy. While you could just coat your shrimp in a non-gluten flour and fry it, it would be a different kind of deep fry.
I have not tried this, but I would try using potato starch (katakuriko) or a non-gluten cornstarch (cornstarch is gluten-free, but most of the cornstarch produced in the US is contaminated with wheat flour - try health food sources) instead of the flour in a basic tempura batter recipe. For my vegetable tempura batter recipe for example, try using all cornstarch (4 Tbs) - add a tablespoon or so more more if the batter is not thick enough.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
thank you for your replies! I will try the recipes ^^ and thank you for the tip Maki, now that I have some ideas I'll try experimenting hehe. ^^ its always so hard to find delicious wheat free alternatives to your favorite foods :(
A suggestion I have for you to try which should be very tasty as an alternative to a tenmusu is to coat the shrimp in bread crumbs instead of batter.
This means that you substitute 'ebi fry' for 'ebi tempura'.
I found that making gluten free ebi fry was a little trickier than the standard kind, but not horribly so.
I washed, dried and scored some raw large prawns and snipped away the very edge of the tail (so that a pocket of air/water doesn't form inside it and explode in the hot oil!).
Then I rolled the shrimp in seasoned buckwheat flower (you could try potato or cornstarch).
Then the shrimps rolled in flour are coated in egg - this was the trickiest part as it seems to take more patience to get the beaten egg to coat a prawn coated in buckwheat flour than one covered in wheat flour. A way to make this much easier is to use frothy egg white instead of the usual beaten egg.
The last stage is the breadcrumbs. You make your own with breadcrumbs from a stale gluten free loaf of bread.
If you do like ebi fry another thing to try (but not with onigiri) is to substitute dessicated coconut for the breadscrumbs. With coconut you will definitely need to use stiffly whisked egg whites over the floured shrimp.
For the tempura batter I like to use rice flour instead of the all purpose flour. I think it makes it a little lighter than using all cornstarch. Btw, Argo cornstarch is gluten free.
If you're looking for a gluten free breadcrumb alternative: Rice Chex crumbs (or Corn Chex crumbs, or a mix of both) work quite well...
Is it possible to make tempura without the eggs? My son is allergic to them but loves tempura-I was thinking of using rice flour (wheat allergy too) but what about the egg?
I'm entering a tempura in Paula Deen's cooking competition called the Real Women of Philadelphia. my husband has celiac so most of what I make is wheat and gluten free. I use eggs and rice flour for the tempura batter. I've never entered this contest before and don't know if there are a lot of gluten/wheat free dishes entered. I'm wondering if it will hurt my chances. Does anyone know anything about this competition?

At least, I haven't seen any named girls that weren't attractive.
But the show is using it's building blocks of MMO knowledge we've picked up from past episodes. Teleport crystals / item durability (we saw that multiple times this episode).

From the last MMORPG I played we had around a 10K population for our server from which on average there 2.5K online at a time. I was in two different guilds and in both 1 out of 5/6 members were real girls. Each guild with 30-40 members and 6-7 girls each side. And if people argue they were all men, well one guild was from my own country and met them during reunions, while the other guild saw the photos of their reunions too. Also the same average proportion of 1 out of 5/6 being a real girl applies to SAO if you watch stills from EP1 after the mirror scene. Oh and falling in love with someone you met in an MMO and even marrying outisde the game is not uncommon, from my previous example we had a total of six couples, three ended in marriage O.O

Have some salt
Fun episode. Kirito's pretty bored and would like to advance; his armor and resists are superb and nothing can really threaten him. However, his dps is still kinda lacking and the last boss dropped a pair of worthless blues that wouldn't befit a level 10. He goes to try and find a blacksmith. Sadly, all she has are nub weapons and thus they go hunting to grind materials. If I were in this world, and realized I had to grind things, I probably would have wished I was dead now and find a way to complain on the internet about how badly designed the game is.
Of course, an elite monster comes out but they survive. Liz crafts a decent weapon that will probably last a few levels til Kirito feels like he needs to find a better one and sell it again.
Good episode overall, but that random love thing was lolwut. Get to the main plot already!

Fun with naming:
I had been wondering Lisbeth was named for Lisbeth Salander of Steig Larsson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, due to the fact that it seems like the most likely manner someone in Japan like Reki Kawahara would be exposed to the distinctly Nordic name, and the fact that Kawahara's works both deal with computers etc, and Larsson's Lisbeth is an accomplished computer hacker.
After this episode though, I can say that even if SAO Lisbeth was named for Lisbeth Salander, she is NO way based on Salander. Their personalities are about 180 degrees from each other, SAO Lisbeth being a clingy tsundere while Larsson's Lisbeth is a independent computer hacker with a dark past and a penchent for "punk" outfits. Also, seeing as she's from Sweden, I doubt Salander had SAO Lisbeth's low cold tolerance problem!
That, and if Lisbeth Salander was trapped in Sword Art Online, she'd probably hack into the game, log everyone out, deduce Kayaba Akihiko's location from his IP address or something, inform the authorities, and end this whole Sword Art Online crisis in all of 15 minutes! (And the bizarre crossover plot bunnies are bouncing around in my head again).
Tune in next time to hear my theory on how Kuroyukihime of Accel World could be

User of the "Fast Draw"
Overall pretty solid episode. As always love how Kirito only dodges when he actually needs to. Just slashing at the breath attack without being phased at all by it. Plus just get to see his slow progression and how events of the past have their effect. Watching Sachi die like that made him all the more cautious (with the precautions he took with Silica and Liz here) and on top of that he'd rather die with someone than survive but watch them die. At least this episode seems to have helped his mindset a bit that it's all the better to survive together.
Liz definitely had some serious progression from start to finish. Searching for something real that she could hold onto while surviving in this world and then stepping aside when it came to Kirito. Was well into that confession when Asuna showed up. But I suppose continuing to go after a guy her friend clearly likes and doing it right after she shows up all worried was too much for her.
Did like Kirito's reaction part way through that confession though. Could see the gears starting to move in that head of his .

Considering that Kirito's current sword in this episode is the same one featured in the opening, I would've liked to see how he got it. Lizbeth's description of the sword seems to hint at its status (a demon sword) as a special drop from a special monster of sorts, and I think it's unfortunate that this sword suddenly appears out of the blue in Kirito's hand, at the begining of this episode. Hopefully, a flashback one day...?
Overall, it was an entertaining episode, even though the main story seems to jump a bit too much more than I would've liked. After the second episode or so, it seems a lot has been skipped in favour of fastforwarding Kirito into a high-levelled solo player and Asuna into a major player in some big name guild. I like my fluff too from time to time, but I can't help but feel that there's this huge chunk of content that's missing.

Could You Handle a Financial Windfall?
Go to Comments
Could You Handle a Financial Windfall? Receiving a financial windfall is often a life-changing event. It's a relatively common one, too. You might never win the lottery, but the odds are that at some point you'll receive a significant amount of money, perhaps from an inheritance, bonus, insurance settlement, or the sale of a home or business.
If so, would you be prepared for the financial decisions you might suddenly face?
Proceed with caution The first thing you'll want to do after receiving a large sum of money is to take a deep breath. You may feel the urge to spend, invest, move, quit your job, or give to others.
But if you want your windfall to last, don't do anything until you've had a chance to come to terms with the personal and financial consequences.
Regrettably, some people who suddenly come into money lose it all within a few years because they fail to plan. Taking the time to make well-thought-out financial decisions will help ensure that your money will last.
Read More Link on Right
Put your money somewhere temporarily Until you've had time to explore your options, there's nothing wrong with putting a lump sum into a relatively liquid account, such as a savings or money market account.
You don't have to leave it there forever--just set it aside until you've had time to formulate a plan.
Assemble a support team Because your finances are likely going to be a lot more complex now, one of the first things you should do is to get unbiased advice from a financial professional who can help you put together a financial plan.
You may also need to work with an accountant, an attorney, or an insurance professional who can help address any tax, estate planning, or insurance planning concerns.
Although receiving a windfall should be a happy event, it's sometimes very stressful, and you may need help from trusted professionals to help you handle the pressure.
Avoid spending and giving impulsively Spend or give your money away too quickly and you risk depleting your nest egg. Although it's tempting to go out and buy something you've always wanted but couldn't afford before, watch your spending.
A financial windfall can turn even a financially conservative person into an impulsive shopper. If your ultimate goal is to create lasting wealth, take time to consider your future needs, not just what you need (and want) today.
What about giving or loaning money to family and friends, or making a charitable donation? Again, it's best to wait until you've set priorities and developed a financial plan. Otherwise, your personal relationships could suffer (will your sister be hurt if you give $10,000 to your brother?), and your generosity might have unintended consequences (will you be approached by dozens of charities once you donate to one?).
Watch out for too-good-to-be-true opportunities Unfortunately, more than one person has become the target of unscrupulous individuals looking to profit from the good fortune of others.
And even if you're approached by a well-meaning friend, family member, or business associate, you should thoroughly investigate any investment or business opportunities presented, instead of relying on someone else's judgment.
If you have trouble saying no, consider referring any requests you receive to a third party, such as an attorney or financial professional you're working with.
Look at your financial needs and goals An important part of handling a financial windfall is to evaluate your short- and long-term needs and goals. This will serve as a foundation for your financial plan.
There's no reason to deprive yourself, as long as you've taken care of business first. If you plan well and control the urge to spend lavishly, your windfall may provide you with financial security and comfort for many years to come.

Crack it, pack it, and lock it.
Crack some nuts, repack the bearings, and lock it back together with Park Tool's Cone Wrench. With sizes ranging from 13mm to 28mm, this wrench will have you servicing hubs from sidewalk-ruling kids' bikes to work-horse ice-cream trikes.

A must have for mechanics ...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Like it or not, not every new wonder bike has wheels with sealed bearings. Every once in awhile, you will need to work on hubs with loose balls and cones ... and when that happens these will be invaluable.
Sold per piece, in the most common sizes 13-16mm you should consider buying two. Personally, I have two across the board.
Must for maintaining old school bikes
Use on Espresso Machine OPV valve
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Yes this tool fits the narrow 20mm adjustable nuts on the Ranchilio Silvia espresso machine OPV valve. Its what adjusts the pressure/bars on the machine! I'm sure others here own the Silvia as all cyclist like espresso! other wrenches are tool large to work so these narrow wrenches work well
28mm is a must have for DH bikes
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you have Zee or saint hubbs the 28mm is a must have for the front cones, works so well, no more cones loosening when you have this tool!

I am trying to put together a tool kit for...
I am trying to put together a tool kit for Mt Biking that I will carry in my truck for pre/post rides and to do minor work at home as needed. With that said, what are the top tools I should have on hand.
In my opinion....
Floor Pump w/ gauge
Hex Wrench Set w/ Bondhus® balldriver tips
shop apron
rubber gloves(trust me)
Chain Tool
Screwdrivers(Phillips and Regular)
cone wrenches(if applicable)
repair stand
tire levers(I only have them for friends)
pedal wrench(somewhat pedal specific)
zip ties
duct tape
chain lube
diagonal cutters
Remember, if you make it easier to work on your bike, it will be easier to work on your bike. Dig?
Got Saint?
As axles get bigger, so do the cones that go around them. The 28mm is a have-to-have if you're running a Saint front hub, or some other Shimano hub for 20mm axles.
My Saint front hub used to have a chronic loosening issue. Once I invested in the right tool to fix it(which more than one bike shop I went to neglected to have), I've only had to use it twice. The second time because I made it too tight first time around. But that's why I buy a tool...in hopes of needing it less. This wrench even makes my small travel tool kit and goes on every trip my dh rig does.
Bottom line: Necessity

Even though Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade is a professional athlete, he spent most of his 20s eating the things the average person likes to eat too, like cheeseburgers, fried chicken fingers and all kind of sweets. And why not? He loses around five pounds a game (really!), which is why on a typical game day he will consume 4,000 to 5,000 calories.
Wade is currently busy battling the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, but he recently started another battle; the one with his own mind and body to cut out the junk food and start eating healthy. He told ESPN in January that turning 30 made him more aware of what he was putting in his body and that nutrition is now an important part of his game, and he's never felt better.
Feeding Wade is no small task. Who is the man cooking all that food?
His name is Chef Richard Ingraham, a Miami native and personal chef, who loves the demanding challenge of cooking healthy foods that are satisfying enough for a star athlete. When he's not busy cooking for superstars, he hosts cooking demos at schools to teach children healthy eating habits.
So what's on a 4,000 to 5,000 calorie game day menu?
"Egg whites, turkey sausage, whole wheat toast and juice for breakfast," Ingraham says. "Lunch is traditionally a pasta with red sauce, and either turkey or chicken breast. A post game meal helps to replenish what [Wade's] body has lost due to his strenuous activity. Non-game days could have roasted pork loin, herb brown rice, salad and water for dinner."
For the rest of us (the non-professional athletes without a private chef) making healthy choices can be a bit harder. But it is easy to incorporate Wade's new healthy ways on your own by just being mindful of what you eat.
"Wade watches his fat, sugar, and sodium intake, and eats lots of fresh organic fruits and vegetables," Ingraham says.
If you have a juicer (a great investment if you don't), try one of Wade's favorite juice recipes (he drinks at least one juice a day) created by Chef Ingraham.
Put two beets, three carrots, two kale leaves, some ginger and one green apple into your juicer. It's easy and delicious. The secret ingredient? Ingraham adds a little liquid chlorophyll (found in any health food store) into Wade's juice. Ingraham says it increases red blood cells and in turn increases Wade's body's utilization of oxygen making him body stronger and more powerful.

(Reuters) - Merck & Co Inc's quarterly results beat estimates, but the drugmaker issued a cautious 2013 profit forecast and said it will delay seeking approval for a high-profile osteoporosis drug, sending its shares down 3 percent.
Merck will not submit its osteoporosis treatment odanacatib to U.S. regulators until next year. Some analysts had predicted the medicine could generate annual sales of up to $2 billion, if approved.
"We continue to believe in the potential of this drug, and look forward to filing it in 2014," Chief Executive Kenneth Frazier said on a conference call with analysts who expressed concern about the delay.
Merck research chief Peter Kim told analysts he had seen complete data from a large Phase III trial of the drug. But he said the company would delay a marketing application to submit data from an "extension" trial, or a follow-up observation of patients who had completed the study. He did not cite any specific problems with the drug.
An independent monitoring board last July recommended the Phase III study be stopped because its data had already proven odanacatib reduced fracture risk. But the panel flagged certain potential safety concerns.
Merck continued with the extension trial, largely to better examine the safety issues, which have not been publicly identified.
Merck's older Fosamax osteoporosis treatment was the world's top seller, with annual sales of $3 billion until its U.S. patent lapsed in 2008 and generics flooded the market.
The No. 2 U.S. drugmaker earned $1.4 billion, or 46 cents per share, in the fourth quarter. That compared with $1.51 billion, or 49 cents per share, a year earlier, when it took charges for acquisition and restructuring expenses.
Excluding special items, Merck earned 83 cents per share. Analysts, on average, expected 81 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Global company sales fell 5 percent to $11.74 billion, hurt by generic competition for its Singulair asthma drug, but still beat analysts' estimates of $11.48 billion.
The company forecast 2013 earnings of $3.60 to $3.70 per share, excluding special items. The midpoint of that range is below analysts' estimate of $3.68 per share. The company earned $3.82 per share in 2012.
Merck predicted sales in 2013 would be similar to 2012 levels, excluding foreign exchange factors, as Singulair generics continue to take their toll.
"Merck's 2013 (earnings) guidance was a bit conservative, which could point to higher expenses" this year, said Judson Clark, an analyst with Edward Jones. But he said the flat sales forecast was welcome because analysts were expecting somewhat lower sales.
Peter Kellogg, the chief financial officer, said few drugmakers are able to keep sales steady if one of their major medicines faces cheaper generics.
"That means we have a tremendously healthy portfolio of other products to provide compensating growth," Kellogg said in an interview.
Clark predicted Merck's earnings would rebound next year and grow in the high-single-digit range in percentage terms, as experimental drugs are approved and bring in new revenue.
"We think Merck has one of the best drug pipelines in the industry and that it will drive growth," Clark said.
Merck, whose $6 billion-a-year Singulair lost U.S. marketing exclusivity in August, is girding for more pain from cheaper copycats.
Its Maxalt migraine drug, with $600 million in annual sales, goes generic in December, and its near-blockbuster Temodar brain cancer medicine faces generics next year.
Merck said Friday it aims to seek marketing approval this year for five drugs, including suvorexant for insomnia.
It is counting on the new drugs to help cushion plunging sales of Singulair, Maxalt and Temodar.
Merck suffered a major setback in January, when an experimental cholesterol drug called Tredaptive failed to prevent heart problems and raised safety concerns. The drug, which was expected to become a big seller in the United States, was recalled in Europe following the negative study findings.
Singulair sales plunged 67 percent in the quarter to $480 million. Combined sales of diabetes drugs Januvia and Janumet rose 18 percent to $1.6 billion, fueled by growth in the United States and Japan.
Sales of Gardasil, its vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, jumped 61 percent to $442 million, helped by higher public sector purchases and demand in Japan and emerging markets.
Merck shares were down $1.35, or 3.1 percent, to 41.90 in midday trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
