Emne: positioning doesnt give himself a good chance fo
(Sports Network) - A visit to Toronto may be just what the doctor ordered for Mariano Rivera and the New York Yankees.
Kieran Trippier Jersey
. The Yankees try to get themselves back into the postseason mix on Tuesday when they kick off a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. New Yorks postseason hopes took a huge hit over the weekend, as it dropped all three games to the Boston Red Sox, including a 9-2 shellacking in Sundays finale at Fenway Park. Ivan Nova (8-5) was knocked out in the fifth inning after allowing five runs -- four earned -- on six hits and four walks to suffer his first loss since July 27. "It hurts," Nova said. "Its bad, especially when you see the teams ahead of you lose and you want to get a win for the team. Unfortunately I couldnt get it today. Thats the worst part." To make matters worse Alex Rodriguez, who is already dealing with a hamstring issue, left the game with a tight right calf and is questionable for the start of this series. New York has lost seven of its last 11 games and finds itself 2 1/2 games back of the second wild card spot in the American League. But now it goes up against the Blue Jays, a team that it has beaten in 13 of 16 matchups this season. On Tuesday, the Yankees will turn to veteran lefty Andy Pettitte, who is 10-9 with a 4.04 ERA. Pettitte did not receive a decision for a third straight start on Wednesday in Baltimore, as he allowed three runs and nine hits in 6 1/3 frames of his teams 5-4 win. "Its just battle; figure out a way," Pettitte said after that outing. "Weve been doing it all year. Were going to continue to do it. Were going to continue to push through this and no matter how you lose a game here or there, its not over until were eliminated, as far as Im concerned." Pettitte has faced the Blue Jays 47 times (46 starts) and is 25-13 with a 3.94 ERA. Toronto, meanwhile, will counter with the National Leagues reigning Cy Young Award winner, R.A. Dickey, who has won his last three decisions and is 12-12 with a 4.36 ERA. Dickey did not get a decision on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels, as he gave up four runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings of a 5-4 loss. Since the start of August, Dickey is 4-1 with a 3.56 ERA after compiling a 4.66 ERA over the seasons first four months. Dickey is 4-3 in 13 games (7 starts) against the Yankees with a 3.22 ERA. Toronto heads into Tuesday having lost five of its last six after dropping two of three to the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend that culminated with a 3-1 loss on Sunday. Mark Buehrle (11-9) gave up three runs -- two earned -- on six hits and three walks in five innings for Toronto, which finished 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11. "It was a battle all day," Buehrle said. "I wasnt very pleased with myself." Since 2001, Toronto has won the head-to-head matchup with New York just one time, going 10-8 against the Yanks in 10.
Vincent Janssen Jersey
. Second-seeded Sloane Stephens of the United States made lighter work of her day as she beat 2009 champion and Swiss wild card Timea Bacsinszky 6-3, 6-3. Two seeds fell: No. 4 Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium lost to Katarzyna Piter of Poland 6-4, 6-2, and No.
Danny Rose Jersey
.C. -- Cam Newton wasnt flawless on Sunday.
. Burris threw for 247 yards in one half of a game -- on pace for a nearly 500-yard outing -- as the Redblacks downed the woeful Montreal Alouettes 26-10 in CFL pre-season play Friday night at Percival Molson Stadium.Every night of the Stanley Cup playoffs, TSN hockey analyst and former NHL goaltender Jamie McLennan breaks down each goalies performance. Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Tuukka Rask, Boston (4) - Explosive, perfect positioning and great rebound control for all five games that led to this series being clinched. The Datsyuk goal came off a rare rebound, but he had big saves on Franzen, Datsyuk, Glendening, and Alfredsson. He made it look easy. Jonas Gustavsson, Detroit (3) He had some great saves in the game on Smith, Boychuk, Eriksson, and Soderberg. Not a lot of chance on the goals. Monster gave the Wings an opportunity to win. Marc-Andre Fleury, Pittsburgh (4) - Huge response game. He looked comfortable and relaxed given the pressure on him and made big saves on Dubinsky and Johanssen. There was a lot of traffic plays in front of him, and he did a good job of fighting through it. Made a great save on Johanssen in the third which hit Crosbys knee and changed directions, he was able to squeeze the pads to make the save. Active stick all game, aggressive and well timed. Sergei Bobrovsky, Columbus (4) - Big saves on Crosby, Neal, Kunitz, Stempniak, and Sutter were the norm. He was the only reason it was close; was really good at controlling his rebounds. His work ethic in the net is evident as he never gives up on a shot - the Crosby back door savee on the PK rebound was evidence of that.
Harry Kane Jersey
. . Semyon Varlamov, Colorado (4) - Strong again. He was under fire but extremely quick but controlled movements. Great crease work again on Grandlund and Koivu. Once again the big reason to the Avs success; timely big saves. Darcy Kuemper, Minnesota (3) - Good saves on MacKinnon, McGinn, Statsny, and Holden early on to look poised and relaxed on the road. No chance on the first two goals against; deflections. The game-winning goal was a great skill play by MacKinnon through a bit of a screen. Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles (5) - Brilliant all night long, huge saves on Burns, Marleau, Pavelski, Couture. He was locked in all night, and you had a feeling he was going to dominate. The ridiculous save on Wingels, where he makes a left pad/glove save where the puck is going top glove, shows how fast and dynamic he is. Antti Niemi, San Jose (1) - Toffoli and Carters are not good goals against; Toffoli has a quick snap shot, but just beats him blocker side from far enough out, and Carters hit Stuarts skate, but check his post positioning doesnt give himself a good chance for success. He got pulled in the first minute of the second period; rough night. Alex Stalock, San Jose (5) - Did a nice job of coming off the bench and mopping up, stopped the bleeding, had a calm demeanour. Good saves on Carter, Toffoli, Gaborik and Doughty.

Patients, who have tried topical ointments and minimally invasive procedures to minimize their scar tissue to no avail, can consult with our board-certified, plastic surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey LaGrasso, for better solutions. Living with damaged skin, past injuries, or old surgical wounds that healed poorly on any part of the body can be unsightly, and even disfiguring. We offer scar revision surgery to patients who have scars that are raise, recessed, different in color or texture in comparison to the healthy surrounding tissue, and scars that particularly noticeable because of their location, shape, and/or size.
Scar revision can be performed on people of any age and is a good option if:
- You are bothered by a scar anywhere on your body
- You are physically healthy
- You do not smoke
- You have a positive outlook and realistic goals for your scar revision surgery
- You do not have active acne or other skin diseases in the area to be treated
Although scar revision can provide a more pleasing cosmetic result or improve a scar that has healed poorly, the damaged caused to your skin simply cannot be completely erased. At our plastic surgery office in Miami, FL, we can offer you scar revision surgery that meant to minimize the scar so that it is more consistent with your surrounding skin tone and texture. If you would like to find out of you are a candidate for this highly individualized procedure, call for a consultation with Dr. LaGrasso today.
"I am so happy that I chose dr. Lagrasso - I am truly thankful to Dr.LaGrasso for the body he made me. The reason why I picked this doctor is because he did surgeries for 5 my friends and they all look amazing. Even though I had to fly to Miami from Las Vegas, I didn't care, this doctor is tottally worth it! I had a surgery 3 weeks ago, it was a lipo from 16 areas and fat transfer into my butt. The first 7 days of recovery time was e..."- V. / RealSelf / Sep 09, 2018
"I am very happy! - The results from my surgery with Dr. Lagrasso are amazing. I had a tummy tuck, lipo on my abs, back and arms and breast lift. I am so happy with the way I look. Dr. Lagrasso was very courteous in answering my questions and addressing my concerns. Also, the staff at My Cosmetic Surgery were great. All the massage therapists and nurses that helped me were wonderful. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lagrasso and My Cosmetic Surgery to family and friends."- Anonymous / Vitals / Sep 07, 2018

Surgical Technique
There are various techniques to consider during a revision surgery. Scar revision treatment will be chosen based on the scar's location, type, size and overall extent and may include one of the following approaches.
Shave Excision
Shave excision is performed when the scar tissue is raised. A surgical shaver is used to slowly trim away the scar and flatten out the surface. Local anesthetics may be used. The 'shaved' area will be treated with topical medications. This technique is simple and in most cases, sutures are not needed to close any wound.
During/After Surgery
Scar treatment is usually performed using a local anesthesia. In cases where a large area is going to be treated, a general anesthesia may be needed. Post-surgery care is critical when it comes to scar treatments. Patients must adhere to the medications and proper wound care to promote better healing of the new wound resulting in a less visible scar. Although a scar will still exist on the site, patients note a significant improvement. It usually takes between 6 months and longer for optimal results.
Scar Removal/Modification
Another technique that improves a raised scar is by completely removing it or reopening then reclosing the wound. By removal, incision is made in an ellipsis pattern with a small border of good skin and closing the wound with sutures within or outside of the skin. By modification, the scar is reopened by means of incision, but this time along a different direction to minimize visibility, and then the wound is resutured back. This is the ideal approach for scars that developed due to poorly closed sutures.
Skin Grafting/Tissue Expansion
There are cases in which the removal of large scars requires repair by fillers. In such circumstance, a skin graft with skin harvested from another part of the body is a popular method to make sure that the skin blends well during the healing process. Sometimes, tissue expansion is applied instead of the skin graft. In this process, a tissue expander is placed within the reopened scar. This expander is filled with a sterile solution. Sutures will be used to join the tissue walls together, and to close the wound.
Types of Scars
Scar revision surgery and the approach taken will depend on the type of scar that is being addressed. It helps to understand the various types of scars:
- Superficial scars settle only on the top skin layer. It is the least noticeable of all types of scars.
- Keloid scars form tissues that grow beyond the wound's edge. They can be dark, painful and lumpy.
- Hypertrophic scars look like keloids, however, the tissue growth is limited within the wound area.
- Contracture scars cover a large section of skin. A good example is severe burns. The newly formed tissues tighten the skin around the wound and may cause issues with mobility.
Injectable Treatments
In some cases, scars are depressed instead of raised. This type of scar is best treated with a derma filler that is injected into the scar site. A common material for this is known as a dermal filler, and there are many variants that are available as alternatives. In many cases where scar treatment is concerned, these fillers are collagen based. Once injected, the filler will puff the scar area so that it evens out with the normal skin's surface. This is done while the doctor reshapes the skin outside to make sure the surface flattens out.
Surface Treatments
Surface treatments such as laser treatments, chemical peels, dermabrasion and skin bleaching may be considered for mild scars. The aim of these applications is to discard the top skin gradually and consequently, flatten out the surface, and possibly change the color of the skin tone. Skin lightening techniques are also applied when the skin on the scar area is darker than the natural skin tone.

Megan Rapinoe took a knee for the third time in four games on Sunday night. This time it wasn't in an NWSL game in her Seattle Reign FC jersey, but an international friendly in her national team colors. In the days leading up to the match, many had offered speculation on whether or not Rapinoe would choose to take a knee during the friendly against Thailand, and she was asked about her process on her protest.
"It seems like I'm thinking 400 hours a day, that's kind of how it feels," Rapinoe said. "I will continue to talk to the people in my life that I trust, and take all sides into account. Ultimately, it will be up to me and what I feel convicted about, what's in my bones and what I feel like is right."
On days leading up to the match some wondered if she would, or if she wouldn't continue. Others whether or not her method was appropriate. Whether or not her actions would take away from the retirement of longtime national team veteran Heather O'Reilly. Even whether or not taking a knee was the most effective way for her message to be conveyed.
Thursday evening, we got our answer: she did it. So, in a mainstream sports media that usually ignores women's athletics, this became an instant highlight. It brought several things to the forefront of the news cycle–not just the national team, but the women's pro league, the NWSL, as well.
Rapinoe's actions spawned constant dialogue from ESPN commentator and former national team icon Julie Foudy during coverage of the match against Thailand on Thursday:
"Wherever you fall on the spectrum of love it or hate it with an anthem protest, I hope there is one thing we all can agree on. And that is that honoring freedom comes in many forms, and one of the beautiful rights we've been given in this country is freedom of expression and we all have that right even during the national anthem, even in a USA jersey. I know it wasn't easy"
Foudy was repeatedly asked about it before and even during the game.
"I am torn by it, I think it's one of the greatest aspects of our country, that we have the freedom to do just that. That is what makes this country so beautiful. I couldn't have done it [kneel] as a US player standing on that line, I know that."
Earlier in the week, the U.S. Soccer Federation noted that it held its players to certain standards regarding the anthem, and that they didn't want attention taken away from national team legend Heather O'Reilly's retirement game. Head Coach Jill Ellis echoed similar statements in interviews. And the Federation had a statement prepared to release immediately after the end of the Thailand match–the same retirement game they didn't want to take focus away from O'Reilly.
Despite their apparent concern, the statement was released live on ESPN for Foudy to give closing statements on, leaving O'Reilly to give her farewell speech in the background, as if live viewers were uninterested in hearing it:
"As part of the privilege of living in this country, don't you also have the right to do just [protest] that? [..] Not to say you have to agree with it, but isn't that what this country is about? What does that mean, 'expectations?' does that mean there will be repercussions?"
On Sunday, hours before the friendly against the Netherlands, Rapinoe was listed as an active player on the national team roster. The decision to have Rapinoe dress appeared to many as proof that the USSF will would allow Rapinoe to go unpunished for exercising her right to protest. Even though Rapinoe's right to refuse to participate in the national anthem is constitutionally protected, the USSF's statement implies that they could take action against her if they decided to do so.
Furthermore, this is women's soccer we're discussing. We have seen enough examples of what happens to players who speak out against their coaches. When they speak out about their federations. When they bring unwanted attention to the team.
It usually results in some kind of punishment, banishment, or unemployment.
Rapinoe knelt during the anthem in both friendlies. She came in as a second-half sub in both, to a crowds that responded with both boos and cheers. More boos in Georgia than Ohio, but still present at both. The Fox Sports 1 commentary during Sunday night's match didn't help the narrative either. Not once in the commentary was the actual message discussed. Not one of the specific issues mentioned by Rapinoe was discussed by the media. Not once were the struggles that black citizens of this country face talked about. The word RACE itself was rarely mentioned if at all.
In the end, the US won the match 3-1 over Netherlands.
And while U.S. Soccer has been a constant in our news feeds since the women's national team was eliminated from the Rio Olympics, this is not the type of coverage–or the fan tour–they were hoping it would be. Just last night co-captain Carli Lloyd was asked if the protest has been a distraction for the team. Though she answered yes, Lloyd emphasized that they are a team used to distractions and would overcome these current ones as well.
We Americans love our sports. We also love to express our patriotism through those sports. Race relations and race issues in this country have been so intense of late that much of what Rapinoe has tried to get discussed has been drowned out by the reactions of others to her protest. So far, there has been far more discussion about her form and method than her actual reasons.
For people who are struggling with recognizing what race issues actually are, here is a very short list that only mentions some, not all, of the issues at play:
- General Race Issues: racism, discrimination, prejudice, etc., against people of color in the United States
- Visible representation: lack of diverse colleges/universities, government, or work place as well as lack of representation in media, movies, books, tv, or other products of pop culture
- Civic Oppression: deeply segregated cities, gentrification, police brutality, black on black crime, gun violence, limited access to health care, groceries, jobs
When Kaepernick was asked for something specific about his protest, he mentioned police brutality. He has also stated his protest includes, but is NOT limited to only that. It's to highlight the general struggles and oppression of black citizens in this country.
Rapinoe has been asked to elaborate on her stance with taking a knee along with Kaepernick and the other athletes who have joined him. Here is a short list of the things she has mentioned:
- Solidarity with Kaepernick's protest
- Finding common ground to discuss race issues
- Trying to be a voice in creating open dialogue that rarely has high profile white athletes speaking out
- Struggle of gay Americans
- Wage gap struggle for white women vs women of color
- And far more
It's 2016 and there is still a sector of Americans who are uncomfortable with discussing race issues. The reality is this, there are absolutely too many race issues to take on in such a general protest, and that fact alone should make you concerned as an American citizen.
It should make you so sad that you want to do something about it, to create change in whatever way you can find yourself capable of.
Instead some fans and citizens are upset at a form of protest interrupting their sports event.
Rapinoe has a huge opportunity and huge platform. I hope that U.S. Soccer doesn't try and take that away from her. I am hoping she uses it to be active in more than just discussions but literal actions. Whether that includes more activism or charitable work, eventually this does need to move beyond the pitch, beyond just conversations and creating awareness.
People are aware there are race issues. Some just choose to ignore them.
That's why it's important to use a platform you've been given but also to step off the soap box and take actual action.
This is a country that has given its citizens certain freedoms, liberties, and opportunities. It has been built on the backs of slaves, on the shoulders of immigrants and it is still seen as a land of opportunity for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
But how do we make sure the poor, the tired, and those huddled masses can truly prosper in the land of the free and the home of the brave?
It can start with taking a stand, in taking a knee.
It can lead to conversations, to action, and hopefully, to change.

It's week four of an MBA course entitled "Global Economy," our midterm exam will be upon us in approximately 100 hours, and anxiety has tied my back and neck muscles into knots. And I'm thrilled about it. The course, taught by Professor Michael Waugh, has enlightened me on so many levels. Learning how to calculate GDP, manipulate formulas in Excel, and analyze factors contributing to productivity is not only illuminating, but empowering. All of a sudden, I feel like I understand business news when I read it -- really understand it. Not just the words, but the thinking (the math, even) behind it. For someone who comes from a humanities background (and compounded it by going to Brown), this new knowledge is exhilarating.
Why does this relate to feminism? Several reasons:
- Being "numerate" - a word I confess I hadn't heard until Reuters data journalist and all-around great guy Reginald Chua guest-taught a class and dropped that one on my head - is just as important as being literate; it's a way of understanding the world that can provide a lot of clarity, or, as Professor Waugh put it when referring to a growth formula, "it's a way to discipline our thinking."
- Clarity and disciplined thinking are often scarce in discussions about gender, sexuality, reproductive health and related issues. Why? Because these are deeply personal, emotional issues with very small slivers of black and white, and a tremendous amount of grey. There are statistics and metrics on a lot of these issues -- on abortion rates state-by-state, for example, or hate crimes against LGBTQ people, or the incidence of domestic violence -- but for many people, there's something callous about evaluating an issue like abortion on the basis of a data set. Is a fetus a life? Is a woman's life more valuable than that of an unborn fetus? I'd hazard that most people feel more comfortable turning to beliefs, not numbers, for answers.
- This is not to say that numbers provide answers to these questions. But data is critical to forming policies, and to soundly critiquing them. I learned this when I researched an article on the death penalty, which is currently losing favor in a lot of states on economic grounds: prosecuting death penalty cases through repeated appeals processes costs states a crap-ton of money that could be spent on other parts of the criminal justice system, like the police force.
- Thinking more mathematically and learning about how labor, capital and productivity interact are forcing me to challenge and refine my own long-held notions about feminism, and to think more creatively and rationally about how and why issues like education, work, reproductive choice, sexuality, and health fit together within a larger economic framework.
Of course, given how fundamental constructs of gender are to larger social structures like the family, or marriage or - perhaps especially - commerce, the challenge with which I am struggling right now is how to evaluate these statistics, numbers, economic indicators in light of or with respect to structural critiques of patriarchy or heternormativity. Data is disaggregated by gender or sex -- where does that leave trans people? The Census Bureau defines a "family" as "a group of two people or more (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together" -- but who are they to define a family? And where did that definition come from?
Forthcoming blog posts will explore more of these issues in depth. Thanks for reading and stay tuned. --ALS

Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 14, 2019
You may be in for some surprises from your friends and associates today, and not all of them will be pleasant. This is not a good time to entrust what you value to anyone else, including your children and your creative projects. There is a great deal of cosmic tension in the air, so move slowly and carefully.
Lucky Number281
Financial Outlookstrong
Compatible SignTaurus
You might be expected to perform as a superhero at work today, so be sure to eat foods that will give you the fuel you need. There may be some tension between your career and family life, but you'll just have to put out the fires one at a time. As the Full Moon waxes, expect loony behavior from those around you. Keep a cool head and you can save the day.
Lucky Number956
Financial Outlookgood
Compatible SignPisces
A difference of opinion may threaten to get out of hand as the Full Moon nears; those of you with in-laws may be reaching the end of your rope. It's time to take an objective, detached attitude. Avoid letting the ego-fuelled arguments of others upset you. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, whether we agree or not.
Lucky Number604
Financial Outlookweak
Compatible SignCapricorn
Powerful feelings begin to arise as the Full Moon nears; you might want to take plenty of time out for relaxing and centering yourself. The rest of the world may be going crazy, but the nurturing Crab is not about to fly off the handle. You may find yourself in a life-or-death situation in which you emerge the hero. Pray for fortitude and courage and you will receive it.
Lucky Number422
Financial Outlookfair
Compatible SignAquarius
Tension increases as the planets align in opposition; you may find yourself in a 'me versus you' or an 'us versus them' situation as the Full Moon nears. You stand to win big or lose big, but your best bet may end up being compromise. With the intense ego energies involved, it may be hard to see anyone else's point of view. Just remember that the universe rewards truly good intentions.
Lucky Number192
Financial Outlookstrong
Compatible SignCapricorn
Be sure to eat right and get plenty of sleep as the Full Moon approaches... your co-workers may be getting edgy, so handle these relationships with care. Dreams you have tonight may be very revealing, so go to sleep with pencil and paper by your bedside. You could wake up with answers to the problems that plague you.
Lucky Number721
Financial Outlookstrong
Compatible SignAquarius
The waxing Full Moon may have you or your friends going absolutely wild tonight; with energy running so high you'll need to take some commonsense precautions. Alcoholic beverages are best avoided, and you'll want to keep a close eye on your children and their safety. This day could be the cosmic equivalent of a rollercoaster ride.
Lucky Number389
Financial Outlookfair
Compatible SignAquarius
You may feel torn between the demands of your career and the needs of your family as the Full Moon nears; it may be all you can do to keep from ripping your own hair out. This could definitely qualify as one of those days when Murphy's Law seems to apply to your entire life. Take a few deep breaths and promise yourself a treat for making it all the way through.
Lucky Number234
Financial Outlookfair
Compatible SignCapricorn
You may find yourself in battle over a difference of opinion: refuse to get into petty arguments over personal beliefs. It's never enough to talk the talk... walk your own walk of integrity and ignore the insults of others. Sagittarians with in-laws nearby could find the next two days uncomfortable, while travelling Archers need to use extreme caution if overseas.
Lucky Number675
Financial Outlookstrong
Compatible SignCapricorn
You may be tempted to shout ' mine, mine, mine' as others potentially threaten and deplete your resources and assets. The coming Full Moon could be causing tension between you and another... don't let a foolish power struggle ruin an otherwise good relationship. If you are doing business, it is time to dig your heels in and hold your ground until you are absolutely ready to make a move.
Lucky Number857
Financial Outlookfair
Compatible SignAquarius
The need for compromise will be apparent as the Full Moon nears... arguments and disagreements seem to intensify under today's tense aspects. Challenge yourself to be the very best you can be, avoiding pettiness and ignoring the bad behavior of others. Much can be accomplished if you are willing to see the other side of the story. You can always change the way you respond to others even if you cannot change them.
Lucky Number607
Financial Outlookgood
Compatible SignLibra
You'll need to protect yourself as the growing Full Moon brings illnesses and enemies out into the open. You may find trouble brewing with a co-worker. Do what you can to help, but do not risk your health, your job, or your sanity in the process. Sometimes you just have to back away after you have made every attempt to assist another.

Crazy Caflos & Jake
Greetings everyone!
Keeping up with last week's post, here's another customization request from Caflos for his Ganger band for Punkapocalyptic, Badroll Games' skirmish wargame. As you all know, Punkapocalyptic takes place on a post-apocalyptic world that takes a lot from Mad Max movies, so as a tribute for Mel Gibson's movies, the people at Badroll Games made this Crazy Mel miniature:
In fact, the alternative helmet can be recognized as the one I used for the Brute on last week's post. However, once my friend Caflos got that miniature, he thought about something else with this miniature. He wanted me to customize it (sacrilage!) to look more like him, and the dog had to look also like his own dog, Jake. I've got work to do!
This conversion was fairly easy. I just had to shave Mel's hair and model long hair and a beard. For the dog, I just had to cut a bit of the legs' lenght, elongate a bit its body, and increase the size of its ears. This is the final result:
Another request for my good friend Caflos, and I must say that both he and me are pleased with the results. Once he gets it painted, I'll update this post with new pictures.
'Till next time!

Food for Thought: Did you know that the often overlooked root vegetable known as parsnip is actually an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre, helping to do that wonderful job of reducing your blood cholesterol levels?
Not me. I just thought it looked like a white carrot, but only sweeter.
Like carrots, the parsnip contains a good dose of vitamin C (helping the body maintain healthy connective tissue, teeth and gums), it's anti-oxidant property helps protect us from diseases and it is rich in many of the B-complex group of vitamins (such as folic acid and vitamin B6), not to mention vitamin K and E.
And if that wasn't enough for you, it has a healthy level of minerals including iron, calcium, copper, potassium and manganese which all help to control your heart rate and blood pressure by countering the effects of sodium.
All that from a white looking carrot?
So basically, just to narrow it down.....all you need to do is eat a big bowl of this soup and you're good to go!
It's filling, grounding and has a slight sweetness from those amazing root vegetables. I was in love after my very first spoonful.
Curried Parsnip and Butter Bean Soup
(recipe from the I Quit Sugar Website)
1 tablespoon coconut oil | 1 small brown onion, finely chopped | 1 clove garlic, crushed | 2 teaspoons curry powder | 250 g parsnips, chopped | 500 ml vegetable stock | 1 can butter beans, drained and rinsed | 1/4 cup coconut cream | sea salt and cracked black pepper |
- Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until onion is soft.
- Add curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add parsnips, stock and beans and bring to the boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes, until parsnips are tender.
- Remove from heat. Using a stick blender, blend until smooth or cool slightly and puree in batches in blender or food processor.
- Return to saucepan over low heat and stir though the coconut cream and season to taste.
