An international "jet-set" known for its beautiful sandy beaches, hundreds of tiny white chapels and incredible night life. Stroll around the streets of the capital that are considered the most beautiful of the Greek islands and enjoy the great night life. It's easy to get lost in its maze of gleaming white walls dotted with blue domes and windows and balconies full of flowers. Have a coffee or a cocktail in one of the famous bars and promise to return for longer stay and more experiences.
Day 4: Kusadasi - Samos.
Kusadası is a resort town on Turkey's Aegean coast. In ancient time settlers include the Aeolians in the 11th century BC and Ionians in the 9th century who made Kusadasi a centre of art and culture. Iin the early years of Christianity. St John the Evangelist and (according to Roman Catholic sacred tradition) Mary (mother of Jesus) both came to live in the area. Take the opportunity to visit Ephesus, an ancient Greek city and later a major Roman city, on the coast of Ionia. The city was famed for the Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. You can also visit the House of the Virgin Mary, purported to have been the last home of Virgin Mary, based on the visions of Sister Anne Catherine Emmerich. It is a popular place of Catholic pilgrimage which has been visited by three recent popes.
We will continue to Samos. In ancient times Samos was a particularly rich and powerful city-state.
It is home to Pythagoreion and the Heraion of Samos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes the Eupalinian aqueduct, a marvel of ancient engineering. Samos is the birthplace of the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, after whom the Pythagorean theorem is named, the philosopher Epicurus, and the astronomer Aristarchus of Samos, the first known individual to propose that the Earth revolves around the sun.
Samian wine was well known in antiquity, and is still produced on the island.
Day 5: Milos.
We will spend the whole day in Milos. Milos is a volcanic Greek island in the Aegean Sea, the south westernmost island in the Cyclades group.
The island is famous for the statue of Aphrodite (the "Venus de Milo", now in the Louvre), and also for statues of the Greek god Asclepius (now in the British Museum. Milos was a source of obsidian (natural glass used for razor sharp "stone tools") during the Neolithic ages for the Aegean and Mediterranean as early as 13,000 years ago. There are about 70 beaches on Milos Island. Also an interesting archaeological Museum.
Day 6: Lavrion (Athens) - Syros.
You will spend the morning in the port of Lavrion and have the opportunity to Visit Athens, if not already done, or the Cape Sounion temple of Poseidon, located very close to Lavrion. You may enjoy your coffe in Sounion or in the city of Lavrion. In the afternoon we will continue to Syros passing close to Cape Sounion.
Syros or Siros or Syra is a Greek island in the Cyclades, in the Aegean Sea. The island was the home of the philosopher Pherecydes, the teacher of Pythagoras. The capital of Syros, Ermoupoli, stands on a naturally amphitheatrical site, with neo-classical buildings, old mansions and white houses cascading down to the harbour. The City Hall, where Miaoulis Square lies, ringed with cafes and with seating areas under palm trees, has a grandeur all of its own. The "City of Hermes" has numerous churches, the most interesting of which are Metamorphosis, Koimisis, St. Demetrius, Three Hierarchs...
Day 7: Cesme - Bodrum.
Cesme is a coastal town and the administrative centre of the district, popular holiday resort. The name "Cesme" means "fountain" and possibly draws reference from the many Ottoman fountains scattered across the city. Its name in Classical antiquity was Kysos under the Greeks , Kysus under the Romans. The name Kysos is nevertheless associated with Homer since the king Rhesus of Thrace, ally of the Trojans during the Trojan War and slain together with twelve of his men by Diomedes who had plotted with Odysseus to steal the magnificent horses of the Thracians, had his wife Argantona , a mythical beauty and a master of animals like her husband, who inhabited the forests of Kysos.
We will spend this afternoon sailing along the south western Aegean Region of Turkey and will reach Bodrum (the ancient Greek city of Halicarnassus) late evening and will send the night on board in the port of Bodrum.
Day 8: Kos.
Early in the morning we will arrive in Kos, a Greek island of the group of the Dodecanese. In ancient times Kos was a Dorian colony with a large contingent of settlers from Epidaurus, whose Asclepius cult made their new home famous. In the Hellenistic age, Kos attained the zenith of its prosperity. Among its most famous sons were the physician Hippocrates, the painter Apelles, the poets Philitas and, perhaps, Theocritus. The ancient physician Hippocrates is thought to have been born on Kos, and in the center of the town is the Plane Tree of Hippocrates, a dream temple where the physician is traditionally supposed to have taught. The small city is also home to the International Hippocratic Institute and the Hippocratic Museum dedicated to him. Near the Institute are the ruins of Asklepieion, where Herodicus taught Hippocrates medicine.
Day 9: Ios – Santorini.
Today we will spend the morning in Ios, an island of the Cyclades, inhabited since the early Cycladic period. Near the port of Ios is the capital of the island known as Chora. Chora is a white and very picturesque cycladic village, full of stairs and narrow paths that make it inaccessible for cars of any kind. Today, the main path through this village is completely taken over by tourism in terms of restaurants, boutiques, bars and discothèques. Ios is famous for its beaches and the incredible night life.
In the afternoon we reach Santorini, one of the jewels of small volcanic archipelagos five islands is undoubtedly Santorini. Santorini was created due to a volcanic eruption culminated in the explosion of a volcano caldera, therefore, its rugged landscapes dotted with huge cliffs. Santorini's capital, Fira, with white-washed houses, narrow streets and open air cafes that cling to a steep cliff, is at the top of the beautiful island where you can enjoy the beautiful views of the bay. Discover Santorini villages that retain their authenticity, with beautiful blue and white buildings and barren volcanic rocks. It is a very fascinating and picturesque island. A magical place that has nothing to do with the rest of the Greek islands, a place to spread the peaceful and hospitable nature of its people.
Day 10: Santorini – Volcano Cruise.
Day at leisure to enjoy the beach and know better this unique island. One of the jewels of small volcanic archipelagos five islands is undoubtedly Santorini. Santorini was created due to a volcanic eruption culminated in the explosion of a volcano caldera, therefore, its rugged landscapes dotted with huge cliffs.
Santorini's capital, Fira, with white-washed houses, narrow streets and open air cafes that cling to a steep cliff, is at the top of the beautiful island where you can enjoy the beautiful views of the bay.
Today enjoy a half day cruise to the small islands of Nea Kameni & Palea Kameni located inside the caldera, the Hot Springs with the green and yellow waters (with free time for swimming) and the island of Thirassia. Admire from distance the town of Fira standing like in a picture on top of the black rock.
Day 11: Santorini – Athens.
At the indicated time, you will be transferred to the port for your ferryboat to Piraeus. Upon your arrival you will be met and transferred to your selected hotel in Athens.

Think spring! Although time is more plentiful in the summer for a high school student to plan college visits, it may not be the best time for college tours. The summer is not a good representation of what your campus life will look like during the actual school year.
Below are a few reasons why:
Below are a few reasons why:
1. Students aren't around during the summertime.
The overwhelming majority of students will not be around during the summer. Just like you, they are on break. So you'll see some summer students, athletes, and students with jobs on campus, but those students do not represent the entire school population. Keep this in mind when doing a college tour over the summer.
2. The weather is too nice during the summertime.
Summer is most likely the only time you WON'T be at college. Therefore, except for a week or two in the Fall and Spring you will not experience summer weather. This is important to keep in mind because the grass may be greener, sun brighter, and flowers more plentiful - and that could falsely impact your view of the campus.
3. The food may be different during the summertime.
One underrated factor in selecting a college is the food. How are the cafeterias? You'll be eating the food for anywhere from one to four years, so it's important to like it. If you don't, you'll end up spending more money on less healthy food. So on any college tour, you should make sure you try out the cafeteria. But in the summer, hours and facilities are different than normal. Small schools may not even have a cafeteria open, just cafes. Look up the cafeteria schedule before you go and make sure it's similar to what it will be during the school year.
People, weather, and food are three important factors in deciding on a college. And they are all different in the summer. So think Springtime if you can!!

Well, time has certainly passed since I posted one of these lists. However, there were a few links that I wanted to share. Plus, getting back in the schedule of regular posting on my blog is a goal of mine.
So here are some great links both pertaining to mental health and Disney (where I just began to work again yesterday) as well other interesting topics.
- Video: 'Aladdin' Cast Reunites for Iconic 'A Whole New World' Performance – This is so cute! I love this song and movie.
- Princess Kate Speaks Out about Children's Mental Health – Good for her! She is such an inspiration.
- Pictures Depicting a Panic Attack – This is a helpful guide to how some people feel.
- Video: How Do You Mend a Broken Heart? – Good question. There is not really a right answer.
- Picture: Would You Treat an Animal like That? – This cute but very helpful cartoon shows how body hate is so cruel but we don't think about it that way usually.

Porsche doesn't quite polarize consumers the way Tesla does, and is usually peerless in the way it brings excitement and satisfaction to its customers; but that hasn't stopped Tesla from dethroning it in Consumer Reports' latest customer satisfaction survey.
The electric car brand from Palo Alto has probably knocked the German automaker down a peg due to how it holds on to its customers once they've had a taste.
In spite of all the headaches Tesla puts its buyers through with repeated reliability and build quality issues, they've been steadfast in their support of the brand.
Only one out of ten owners of the Model S and Model X have said that they wouldn't buy another Tesla vehicle, which suggests that we could expect a sizable portion of Model 3 purchases to come from existing Tesla owners.
This of course doesn't mean that Porsche has worsened in any way. The sports car maker, despite disappointing a lot of its puritanical fans by diving head-first into the crossover and SUV business, still sits pretty as the runner-up in the CR survey.
Other premium brands have not fared so well, as the likes of BMW, Acura, and Infiniti have declined according to results of the survey. This also applies to the VW Group namesake brand Volkswagen.

"Hillers trachyte is a pale gray paste with large white crystals of feldspar and crystals large and small of hornblende. This describes the variety at hand."
This is one of the least eye-catching rocks in my kitchen. No one picks it up, ponders it, asks questions. Yet it's special for me ... and for the history of geology. I found it one morning on the picnic table at my campsite, on top of yellowed sheets of paper with notes and sketches. They were not there the evening before.
I brewed a cup of coffee and sat down to read the mysterious missive. This is what I found [notes in italics are mine]:
I brewed a cup of coffee and sat down to read the mysterious missive. This is what I found [notes in italics are mine]:
The Henry Mountains are not a range, and have no trend; they are simply a group of five individual mountains, separated by low passes and arranged without discernible system. [here there was an arrow to the diagram above] ... they stand on the right bank of the Colorado River of the West, and between its tributaries, the Fremont and the Escalante.
Geological exploration had shown that they were well disposed for examination, and that they promised to give the key to a type of structure which was at best obscurely known. [emphasis added]
If the structure of the mountains be as novel to the reader as it was to the writer, and if it be as strongly opposed to his preconception of the manner in which igneous mountains are constituted, he may well question the conclusions in regard to it ... I can only beg him to suspend his judgement until the whole case shall have been presented.
It is usual for igneous rocks to ascend to the surface of the earth, there issue forth and build up mountains or hills by successive eruptions [arrow to diagram below]
Mountain of Eruption
The lava of the Henry Mountains behaved differently. Instead of rising through all the beds of the earth's crust, it stopped at a lower horizon, insinuated itself between two strata, and opened for itself a chamber by lifting all the superior beds. In this chamber it congealed, forming a massive body of trap. For this body the name "laccolite" (Greek: cistern and stone) will be used. [hmmm ... I thought the term was "laccolith"]
[arrow to sketch above] The simplest type of Henry Mt. structure is a lenticular mass of trap above which the strata are arched [this diagram looked very familiar, where had I seen it?]
or they have made these subterranean mounds at many different levels so as to produce a structure of which [arrow to sketch above] is an ideal cross section.
Contemporaneous and subsequent denudation have left the existing phenomena:
|Mt. Ellsworth
|Mt. Hillers
[there was one more sheet, and it was there that the author's identity was revealed]
If these pages fail to give a correct account of the structure of the Henry Mountains the fault is mine and I have no excuse. G.K.G.
I was stunned!! "G.K.G." -- that's Grove Karl Gilbert, one of the greatest 19th-century geologists of western North America. That familiar diagram is his classic cross-section through a laccolith, from his study of the geology of the Henry Mountains. In fact, Gilbert had camped at this very spot at the southeast base of Mt. Hillers. Had he dropped his field notes? No, that couldn't be. He was last here 136 years ago. They must have been left on the table by some ghostly visitor in the night ...
Grove Karl Gilbert in 1894; National Academy of Sciences Archives.
I reread the yellowed sheets, paying close attention to every detail. An hour passed unnoticed and by then the day was getting warm. But no matter. I loaded my pack and drove around to the south side of Mt. Hillers to hike up to the base. I wanted to see sandstone spurs, hogbacks, revet crags and trap for myself.

In 1869, the great explorer and geologist John Wesley Powell was traveling down the Colorado River through today's Utah. He spotted an isolated cluster of peaks to the west, which he called the Unknown Mountains. They would become the last range to be named in the Lower 48 States.
|The Unknown Mountains from the air.
|View from Google Earth (click on image). Lake Powell (Colorado River) in southeast corner.
Powell thought the Unknown Mountains looked like volcanos. This was of great interest because there was a debate raging as to whether volcanos were 1) "craters of elevation" or 2) craters built from piles of debris accumulated through repeated eruption (geology was still a young science). Even from a distance Powell could see these mountains were domed and had dark masses of lava-like rock, suggesting "craters of elevation."
Mt. Hillers from the west.
Five years later, Powell was in charge of the US Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region, and the Unknown Mountains had become the Henry Mountains, named for his physicist friend, Joseph Henry. Powell directed Grove Karl Gilbert to take an exploratory expedition into the Henrys and perhaps settle the question as to whether volcanos were craters of elevation or of debris. But the question was never answered, for Gilbert found no volcanos.
They left York, Utah, south of Salt Lake City, on June 20, 1875. It took 20 days to travel the 200 miles to the Henry Mountains, by mule. Trails ranged from good to unknown. On August 22, they established Camp 38 very close to today's Starr Springs Campground, where I found the mysterious notes and rock.
|The old Starr Ranch. The springs have long attracted humans; there's a BLM campground there now.
Gilbert spent two weeks in the Henrys in 1875. He found no evidence of volcanic activity, and by the end of the visit was beginning to think about alternative models. He returned the next year and stayed for two months. When his report was published, the Henry Mountains became the type locality for a new geologic structure -- the laccolith. Gilbert used "lacune" in his early field books, but then chose "laccolite" as the formal name. Later he was persuaded to change to "laccolith" because "-ite" typically applies to rock types rather than structures.
Gilbert's laccoliths were distinct from other igneous structures recognized at that time. Unlike volcanos, molten igneous material did not reach the surface. Nor did it solidify deep below, as did masses of granite and related rocks. Instead, magma was intruded into rock layers near the surface. Furthermore, the "trap" deformed the overlying strata -- a novel concept.
|"Half-stereogram" of a laccolith showing deformed sedimentary strata above, from Gilbert's report. In his early field notes, he sometimes called these bubble or tumor mountains.
The deformed sedimentary rocks on the south flank of Mt. Hillers are especially striking. "On this side a half dozen spurs show fragments of red rock as sketched ... inferior rocks tilted almost to the vertical and interspersed with dikes. Moreover these sandstone hogbacks seem to trend in a curve around the mountain as far as they extend."

"revet-crags" and "bold spurs of trap" (dark rock near horizon)
"inferior rocks tilted almost to the vertical"
We wandered among the revet crags and bold spurs of trap for several hours. They were extremely photogenic but it was getting hot. So we headed back down to the car, and drove east and north to Hanksville. With the Henrys in constant view, and Gilbert's words and sketches bouncing around in my head, it was hard to keep my eyes on the road.

But while the Henry Mountains contribute almost nothing to our direct material interests, they offer in common with the plateaus which surround them a field of surpassing interest to the student of structural geology. The deep carving of the land which renders it so inhospitable to the traveler and the settler, is to the geologist a dissection which lays bare the very anatomy of the rocks, and the dry climate which makes the region a naked desert, soilless and almost plantless, perfects the preparation for his examination. -- G.K.G.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Am I underweight?"
I never thought about being too skinny or having a weight issue, but I have been very dizzy lately and almost fainted two days ago. Is this from being underweight? How do you find out what your correct body weight is?
Fortunately, this is something that is very simple to calculate, at least within a broad range. Using a computer, a person may search the phrase, "BMI calculator," which is short for Body Mass Index. This is a fairly simple formula that was created by a mathematician and used heavily (pun intended) by insurance people to determine which weight would allow people to be the lowest risk (and who they could thus charge the lowest rates). Somewhere along the way, doctors started using it to make suggestions about the appropriate weight for their patients, again, based on the idea that, over time, people weighing a certain amount will be more or less likely to have health problems or death. While there are many critics of the formula itself and how it is used, if your body weight falls somewhere in the normal range, it is unlikely that it is your weight that is causing your dizziness. It is important to note, however, that the cause of your dizziness is something that you should determine quickly, as being dizzy can be dangerous to you and to others. Please speak with your doctor in the near future to determine what is the cause of your dizziness and to correct it.

I have returned to work after the summer hols and Megan has taken her stuff to her new flat in Sheffield. She starts her second year as a student doctor next week. The house is feeling a little empty again, but we will be able to visit and have somewhere to sit down this year! Her flat last year was tiny! Hopefully I will be back soon with a few other projects that I have been working on.
Thanks for looking!

About Armstrong
"To have 40 people come through for four hours makes a huge difference in our ability to serve the community. It means the world to us."

Building on a Tradition of Giving
The Treasure Savannah Spring 2011 day of service attracted 224 Armstrong students, faculty, staff and alumni who fanned out across the city to provide volunteer service at the Union Mission, West Broad Street YMCA, and Keep Savannah Beautiful on the morning of March 5. Volunteers also assisted with a cleanup of the Armstrong grounds, repair of walkways, and repainting curbs and parking lot lines.
The second Treasure Savannah day of service builds upon a new tradition of community service initiated with the key support of Armstrong President Linda M. Bleicken in fall 2010 as part of the university's 75th anniversary celebration.
"Armstrong was founded by the City of Savannah and this is an opportunity for the university to give back to the community and the people of Savannah in a meaningful way," said Chris Nowicki, assistant director for Student Union and Activities, who helped organize the event.
Volunteers, including President Bleicken, helped prepare gardens for spring planting at the West Broad YMCA, cleaned out an old Union Mission house in midtown in preparation for renovation, and cleaned up the grounds near the Kingdom Life Christian Fellowship Church for Keep Savannah Beautiful, which is participating in the City of Savannah Greater American Initiative for the month of March.
"We rely heavily on volunteers, especially for the big projects," said Peter Doliber, executive director/CEO of West Broad Street YMCA. "To have 40 people come through for four hours makes a huge difference in our ability to serve the community. It means the world to us."
The fall 2011 Treasure Savannah day of service is scheduled for mid-October. For additional information, contact Chris Nowicki at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I mentioned a few posts back about a new item I've listed in my shop, and here they are!
EDITED TO ADD: these mice are no longer available in my shop. I'm sorry for any inconvenience!
what a cute pattern! I'll have to pass this on to my daughter who shares a cat with her boyfriend. I'm allergic so no kitties for me, but I do like the mouse!ReplyDelete
This is just the sweetest mice! Lucky kitty..ReplyDelete
These are SO cute. I don't have a cat but I think they would be lovely baby gifts, maybe with a little bell inside or something? I know of 3 imminent births so I am going to get started. Thanks for making the pattern available.ReplyDelete
That is such a cute lil' mousie. He looks like one I participated in a kind of swap with some friends a few years ago, only ours were made of felt, with little felt ears. We had to make our version to send to 6 of our friends, and it was fun to see how we each decorated our little mice!
Happy New Year!
thank you so much for the cute catnip mouse pattern ... I've made a few of my own but needed something a little more chubby and this one fits the bill! thanks for sharing it!ReplyDelete
Hurray! Printing this pattern out now :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the pattern! I plan to enlarge this and use it as a purse/handbag for a kitty Halloween costume.ReplyDelete

Five Things Friday #16
Happy Friday from North Carolina! Neil and I arrived around midnight last night and have been spending the day with family eating and having a great time. My plan is to fit in a run and a barre class sometime before we leave on Monday since I will have to do something to combat all this delicious food.
I'm sure you are all familiar with the routine, so here are my five favorite things this week:
1. Maple donuts
I hardly ever eat donuts, but when I see a maple frosted one from Dunkin Donuts, I must have it. I ended up having two this week because it was my last week at work and people bought them especially for me. I can't say no to this delicious creation.
2. Frozen Herb Starters
My friend Carly gave this to me as a parting gift when I left work yesterday and I thought it was a great idea. You can freeze fresh herbs in any liquid or oil (water, broth, olive oil, butter) and then when you are ready to cook, just toss the frozen cube in the pan. It is also a good idea for drinks if you want to freeze some mint in ice cubes!
3. Top 100 Books List
I have been on a reading spree lately and with more free time on my hands coming up, I feel like tackling something more substantial. I want to work my way through a 100 books to read in a lifetime list, but so far the ones I have found have had some questionable pieces (Hunger Games?). I think I am going to compile my own list from the multiple ones I have found. If anyone knows a good list, please let me know! I've already ruled out the Amazon list, but the Goodreads and BBC lists seems promising.
4. Early Retirement
My last day of work was yesterday, which is both exciting and frightening. I want to take more time to devote to this blog, but also I am not sure that I want that to be my only source of income. I am still working on building Erin's Inside Job, so in the interim I may focus more on selling my almond butters since I have built up a pretty good customer base. Now if only I could transplant them to Chicago…
5. Road Trips
While many people groan at the prospect of driving for multiple hours, I have always been excited by long road trips. If I had the time, I would almost always prefer to drive than fly. Our trip to NC was great, but I wish it had been during the daylight. There's just something about driving that I love.
Have a great weekend!
Question of the day: Do you like road trips? What are some of your favorite things this week?

Household products make surprisingly large contributions to air pollution
AUSTIN, Texas — To reduce your impact on air quality, you might expect to trade in your gas-guzzling clunker of a car — but you can also unplug those air fresheners.

Shipping noise can disturb porpoises and disrupt their mealtime
Harbor porpoises are frequently exposed to sounds from shipping vessels that register at around 100 decibels, about as loud as a lawnmower, scientists report February 14 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Sounds this loud can cause porpoises to stop echolocation, which they use to catch food.
While high-frequency submarine sonar has been found to harm whales (SN: 4/23/11, p. 16), low...

Humans are overloading the world's freshwater bodies with phosphorus
Human activities are driving phosphorus levels in the world's lakes, rivers and other freshwater bodies to a critical point. The freshwater bodies on 38 percent of Earth's land area (not including Antarctica) are overly enriched with phosphorus, leading to potentially toxic algal blooms and less available drinking water, researchers report January 24 in Water Resources Research.

Coral reefs are sick of plastic.
More than 11 billion plastic objects are polluting Asia-Pacific coral reefs, a new estimate finds. This waste can harbor pathogenic bacteria known to make corals sick. Reefs littered with plastic were at least 20 times as likely to have diseased corals as unpolluted reefs, researchers say.

This week on Date night the Hubby (Ok- getting less weird but still OMG) took me to Black Bean Cafe. I was excited to try it. Afterall, I am a fan of Cuban food. And this place did not disappoint.
I ordered the daily special of Chicken and Rice with Salty plantains.
Yes- I did notice my plate was ALL yellow. But presentation is not everything. And honestly for an order at the counter place, I was not expecting high marks on presentation. The chicken and rice were very flavorful which suggested that there was a lot of time put into enhancing the flavor..ie it was cooked for a long while. The salty plantains were not salty which bothered me. Call them something else like tostones, so I am not expecting salty goodness when I bit in. Even the Hubby found these babies bland. The salty plantains were mashed and fried. this reminds me a of a potato pancake for some reason. The different take on plantains was unique but I still prefer my plantains sweet.
The Hubby ordered Picadillo which is beef cooked over a long period of time. He opted for the red beans and sweet plantains. The sweet plantains were nice and moist while crispy around the edges. The red beans were the true standouts. I mean these beans could have been a soup. The beans were cooked for a long time with chorizo. This stuff was AMAZING. The Picadillo was good. The Hubby really loved it.
Our biggest complaint was the temperature of the food. ALL the items on BOTH our plates were warm not super hot when food comes straight off the stove or even mildly hot. I know this is silly and probably just the after effects of reading Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential....but.....Food that cooks for extended time like the Hubby's pork and beans being lukewarm t hints at bacterial and worse. Bourdain discuss this as his reason for not eating hollandaise out very often. Anywho, the Hubby and I did not have any issues though made sure to microwave the hell out of the leftovers before eating.
Our smallest complaint was they are a Pepsi company. We are Coke people.
Basically- Black Bean is like Gordos without table serve, less ambiance and colder food. My recent trip to Gordo's, the apps was so HOT we had to wait a bit for it to cool. (Click here for more) However, Black Beans' food has more more depth of flavor. Seriously those red beans were very complex. I highly recommend the red beans (Obviously) and the sweet plantains.Come hungry because it is a good portion of food.

Well, I just went out to try and bang out some mile repeats because I missed them yesterday. I was just to swamped yesterday to make it happen, but had time today. I have to say first of all, this week has not been good. I have been off the rails eating wise, haven't really hydrated well, and just did not get in a training groove. I don't know why, life I guess.
Today was the epitome of the week. I ran the first mile repeat and it was a beast to get through. I ran it in 6:11 and it felt like I did it in 5:11. I cooled down for 5 minutes, as I planned to, and still felt on the verge of getting sick. I scrapped the run. Sometimes you just have to move on.
I have to dial in my nutrition first and foremost starting right now. I will add some serious water consumption and I will be good to go. You are always going to have crappy workouts/weeks pop up. You cannot progress all the time. The key is to move on and think positive. Tomorrow is a new day.

As humans we believe in many things that we can see. We believe that the chair or couch that we sit on will hold us up without thinking of the possibility that it may come crashing down at any moment. We know for certain that the sun will go down and come up again, regardless if it's cloudy or not. It's just fact and it has always been that way since the day we enter the world or since the world began. These are simple things that we take for granted every day, they are the physical and natural we trust and understand. It makes sense to us to see something working already without having to rely on inner instincts, but it's the not knowing or seeing that makes us uncomfortable.
In today's society we have been condition to believe that we have to see it before we believe it. We even speak that the possible is impossible without realizing what we have said. It's been so deeply in grain in us that we repeat the negative without thinking about. That's because it has to make sense to us before we can believe that it is possible. Now, I'm sure you're wondering where I am going with this, why am I talking about beliefs and seeing is believing; Well, there is a scripture that comes to mind when it comes to believing in the possible and taking that leap of faith. Hebrews 11:1 NLT says: What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot see. So with that being said do you have the vision to see what isn't in front of you; and because to you believe it so much, are you willing to take that leap of faith to make it happen? If your answer is yes, I invited you to take a leap of faith into the possibilities of making life easier for you.
Sometimes opportunities just drop in our laps, as this did for me. It couldn't have happen at a better time. I was looking for another job and came across and advertisement for posting links. So I took a looked into it a little further; as I began to search more into the program, it became clear to me this could be something I can do to gain some residual income. So I paid the money to start posting links and found out it wasn't what I thought it was supposed to be, so I opt out of the program. Now that's normal, but if I haven't taken that leap of faith, I wouldn't have come across something that I really love doing, and that's blogging. Now I've been blogging for about two years off and on; but I never thought I could really make any money doing it; until I got a call from someone who is already doing it and is making enough money to take care of their basic necessities and more. Can you envision yourself doing what you love and making money at it with very little monies to start? Well it's possible, if you're willing to try.
I read a face book post from Girlfriendsingod.com the other day that said "Faith doesn't make things easy, it makes things possible." Meaning that anything you try isn't easy, but if you willing to try and believe with all your heart that the vision you have to make a difference in your life is there, than with faith nothing is impossible.
Now I'm beginning a new chapter in my life. Who would have thought I would be making money doing something I love. It's rare that you get the chance to do something you really love to do; but when you pursue to do what you have been called to do, than the possibilities are endless.

Only the Pure in Heart Shall Ascend
Psalm 24:3-6
Who shall ascend into the hill of Lord? Or who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul into vanity nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from God of his salvation.
We seldom consider the house of God a Holy place; yes the location could be anywhere but the gathering of the God's is holy. It is the person who has a clean hand and a pure heart that can ascend the hill of the Lord. That is the Lord's dealing with us in this season. The lord is cleansing us so that we can shine again, and we will shine from the inside out. Our beauty is who we are in God and if we stop journeying into Christ, then we would stop being beautiful.
As much as it is in your power, raise up the head of your brethren. Love beautifies. We choose to celebrate love! That is what makes us look like Christ. Nothing about Satan is beautiful. When he jumps into our lives he messes it up. What is the use of a light that is put under the bushel? Let your light so shine! We are the salt of the earth. We want to be salt in the lives of others; we don't want to cast a shadow over the world.
Let us allow the word of God purify out hearts, that is the only thing that can separate us from who we are. Let us desire the word of God to change us today.

Birender to announce decision on joining BJP in Aug 16 rally
Senior Congress leader Birender Singh, who is set to part ways with the party to join rival party, on Monday said he will announce his next step at the rally scheduled in his hometown Jind on August 16, to which BJP chief Amit Shah has also been invited.chandigarh Updated: Aug 11, 2014 19:53 IST
Senior Congress leader Birender Singh, who is set to part ways with the party to join rival party, on Monday said he will announce his next step at the rally scheduled in his hometown Jind on August 16, to which BJP chief Amit Shah has also been invited.
Singh had met Shah in Delhi last month fuelling speculations that he may switch over to the saffron camp.
The veteran leader and Rajya Sabha MP, who has openly revolted against chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and was removed from the party's working committee last month, however, said that he has so far not quit the Congress.
"I have so far not quit Congress or joined BJP. I have said that I will make an announcement on my next step at the function to be held at Jind," Singh said.
The Jind rally is being organised by Yuva Shakti, a youth organisation started by the supporters of Singh.
He said that there were some leaders in the Congress camp, including former Union Minister Kumari Selja, who felt that the party would reach out to him.
"I have clearly said that stage has crossed. That stage is over now. I am now focusing on the rally," he said.
Singh quitting the party would be another jolt to Congress in Haryana which faced a series of desertions in the election year. Polls are due in October in the state.
Hitting out at Hooda, Singh said, "Congress in Haryana is no longer the party it used to be. It has now become Hooda's Congress."
He alleged that Hooda had centralised powers and it was one of the reason why the Congress had fared poor in the Lok Sabha polls. Congress managed to win only one seat out of total ten LS seats in the state.
"I had demanded that Hooda should be changed so that Congress's prospects in the polls could improve, but that did not happen... now I am not going to contest future election on Congress symbol," he said.
Meanwhile, even as Birender is yet to bid adieu to Congress, big advertisement hoardings and posters have been erected at Uchana town in Jind district, in which he is seen sharing space with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.
A prominent leader from Haryana's Banger area, he has over the past one year openly criticised Hooda from several platforms for alleged lopsided development.
Speculations are also rife that after joining the BJP,
Singh may take on his cousin Hooda, from Kiloi, the assembly constituency represented by the chief minister.
Notably, chief minister Hooda had recently expressed desire to contest the forthcoming assembly polls from Indri constituency in Karnal district.
Birender Singh, a former Haryana minister, lost the 2009 Assembly polls to former chief minister Om Prakash Chautala from Uchana Kalan segment.
Earlier, Singh, who has openly revolted against Hooda and refused to contest the October Assembly polls under his leadership, had charged him with weakening the Congress.
Hooda, who was recently asked to comment on the possibility of Singh dumping the Congress, had said that in a democratic set up, every leader has right to join any party.
The chief minister had said that Birender Singh also has right to join any party and this would not affect Congress in any manner.
In the election year, the Haryana Congress unit has been facing an exodus of leaders, some of whom have joined the BJP camp, since the last Lok Sabha polls. Prominent Congress leaders who have switched over to the saffron party include Rao Inderjit Singh, who had also been vocal against Hooda.
Rao, who was then a Congress MP from Gurgaon, severed his four-decade old ties with Congress and contested as BJP nominee from Gurgaon and retained his seat. He is now a minister in the Narendra Modi government.
Senior leader from Bhiwani region Dharambir also switched over to BJP and is now a MP from Bhiwani-Mahendergarh seat.
Former Union minister Venod Sharma too ended his four- decade old ties with the Congress to float his own Jan Chetna Party.
Another turncoat, Ramesh Kaushik, won the Sonepat Lok Sabha constituency on a BJP ticket after quitting the Congress. Last week, four-time Congress MP Avtar Singh Bhadana also quit the party.
According to Birender Singh, Congress would face more desertions in the coming weeks.

Being a rather small beach city, Playa del Carmen has only a few festivals compared to bigger places on the Yucatan region like the neighboring Cancun. Despite this, the city manages to host some popular events and festivals.
Festival Internacional de Cine de la Riviera Maya
The Festival Internacional de Cine de la Riviera Maya is a five-day film festival held every October. Various international, national, and local films are screened in select venues throughout Playa del Carmen, such as Plaza Pelicanos' Hollywood Cinema, Plaza 28 de Julio, and Ayuntamiento de Solidaridad. Films that shown belong to one of the following categories: Fiction, Experimenal, Documentary, and Animation. There are different conferences and workshops on filmmaking and cinematography throughout the festival.
Riviera Maya Jazz Festival
The four-day Riviera Maya Jazz Festival is one of the more popular events in the city. It attracts tourists from different parts of the world. Held every November near the Ultramar pier on Mamitas Beach, this annual event gives foreign and local jazz performers an opportunity to showcase their talents. With performances starting at around 8 in the evening, the lively festival fills the city streets with dance and music throughout the night. Performances at Riviera Maya Jazz Festival are free.
Yucatan Fair
Another popular festival that attracts many local and foreign tourists is the Yucatan Fair. Originally, this lively and colorful event was only for stock breeders. Eventually, other features were added to the fair to entertain the general public. So in addition to livestock, you will come across other regional products. You will also enjoy horse races, cockfights, small theme parks, entertainers, children's' shows, and the traditional palenque festival.
Autumn Cultural Festival
If you are visiting the area, you may want to experience some regional festivals celebrated in the Yucatan Peninsula. For example, the Autumn Cultural Festival is an annual event that promotes and celebrates the culture and tradition of the Yucatan region. The highlights of the festival are original and lively music, dancing, and theatrical productions.

We know they are annoying, but are red-light cameras unconstitutional? Well, it depends on whom you ask, but it is starting to seem that way. Over in Hollywood, FL, The Florida Supreme Court has declined to hear the city's appeal of an earlier court loss. This is yet another major blow for red-light cameras. It's unclear whether or not the program is officially dead.
The beginning of the end for Red Light Cameras?
Forget speeding. Forget toll violations. In the Orlando and Central Florida area, it seems that public enemy number 1 for drivers are those pesky red light cameras. It has been this way for some time now. Many drivers and attorneys believe that red light cameras are operated unlawfully throughout the entire state of FL.
Could your driver's license be suspended without you knowing?
It would be a heart-stopping moment. You open up your mail and find a letter saying you have had your driver's license suspended due to failing to pay for a "red light camera violation". Sadly, in the state of Florida, this is happening far too often.
Red Light Cameras illegal before 2010
Red light camera tickets are an epidemic. People are unclear about the whole process and with good reason. Not helping with the confusion is the fact that the machines have a history of malfunction. Turning right on red seems to confuse drivers, and the machines, the most. When a driver makes the turn in a slow and cautious manner the turn shouldn't result in a violation. But there have been machines catching drivers making this legal maneuver, as well as the camera going off sometimes during a yellow light, and even "catching" parked cars.

Your patients are probably not too interested in the technical specifics of dentistry or would even understand most of it. Regardless, you do still keep many of the dental journals in the waiting room in case someone is curious. This actually helps to sell your various services.
Patients see some of the advertisements or article about breakthrough procedures and they will ask you if you can do certain ones. In all likelihood, you already know how to set such procedures up. It is just a matter of becoming fully familiar with the techniques.
Since you are in the dental profession, you know that you must take part in continuing educational studies not only to keep your license, but also to improve the quality and performance of what you do in your practice. One of the better references is the journal of clinical dentistry, to which you probably subscribe to already.
This is also one of those journals you can find back dated for a number of years as useful references. It is good to have a collection of these on hand in case you need to look something up, something you know you saw in one of those journals.
For the moment, if you want to see the latest issues, just go to the website and you will find it right there. It is easy to carry it in your pocket and read in your spare time. This way, you can actually enjoy what you are reading as it finds its way into your mind for inspiration. Mostly, you do want your practice to grow, encompassing all dental care services under one roof or the roofs of as many clinics as you own.
Staying ahead on dentistry news is what gives you an edge in your practice. Not only do patients appreciate this, you will too especially as your practice grows and thrives.

Remembering What's Important
It is a mistake, but I do it constantly. I look up threads on homeschool forums where parents are posting what they are doing for their child's school year. Parents, what am I saying? These aren't just parents. These are mutant, ninja, super parents. Parents that fit 4 math curriculums, Latin, 2 musical instruments, a formal art program, 2 hours worth of read alouds, creative writing classes, soccer, gymnastics, super fun crafts 3 times a week, play dates and all this on top of the "normal curriculum".
As homeschooling parents we tend to want to compete. Not just with the public school system but also with each other. We teeter on the edge of insecurity so we overcompensate by adding in so many supplements that we end up overloading our children and ourselves. More, more, more. Mustn't leave any "gaps". How will my child get into college if we don't do this and that. In the rush of trying to get it all in we forget why we started homeschooling to begin with. It is moments like these when I am grateful for friends who bring me back down to Earth. They remind me that while academics are important and extra curriculars are great, they are not the primary reason that we homeschool. Today, I remember that I do not need to be super mom.

I agree! I tend to do the same. I see how other people handle their school days and think "Wow! I am doing this all wrong." or "I wish I could do that." Instead of being thankful that I have what I have. I do know that I need to make changes in my days and curriculum. But, this has nothing really to do with others, but more to do with my burn out and the overwhelming sense that I need something else or I'll lose my kids for sure! :-)

Amazing Chinese League of Legends Champion Artwork
League of Legends has been the most played game in the world for the past few years. With over 30 million registered players its popularity has skyrocketed and more and more gamers are discovering this amazing game. LoL features over 100 playable champions and each of them has additional purchasable skins.
The artwork for all these skins is created by Riot Games' designers, but what's especially interesting are splash arts from the Chinese game client. They are often quite different and more appealing, so below I've made my selection of the best Chinese splash artwork. You can find hundreds more on Leaguesplash as well so if the ones I selected aren't to your liking be sure to head on over to the site and check out more.
Please note the image copyrights are owned by Riot Games. You can read their full legal disclaimer to find out how you can use these images.
All of these splash arts are in wallpaper resolution: 1920×1080. You can click on a particular image to view it in full size.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"What is that painful scratchy feeling when I cough? "
Sometimes it feels like I coughed up blood, though it's never visible. I can taste it though, sometimes stronger than others.
Sorry to hear about both your cough and your pain when you do cough. It's hard to know exactly what you're talking about without knowing what part of the body you are describing. So it is important to speak with your doctor about your concern. A scratchy feeling in the back of the throat can be common with some types of dry cough, and can even seem to cause the cough in some cases. Over time, this sort of cough can turn into something that becomes a reflex and may require medications that help to soothe the nerves that lead to the cough. Obviously, a foreign body in your throat or something such as a tumor that shouldn't be there could also cause some of these symptoms, and so you should speak with your doctor about this. A scratchy feeling lower down, as in your lungs or somewhere else, can be a sign of something that needs to be addressed with a doctor as well. Often, an x-ray can help to provide valuable information in settings of a painful cough, and your doctor can discuss this with you and determine if you need further therapy or investigation. Please speak with your doctor about your question and what could be causing your symptoms.

Peyton Manning's change of address is likely good news for Nike Inc., which replaces Reebok International Ltd. next month as the maker of National Football League-branded apparel and uniforms.
Manning, whose No. 18 jersey has been among the NFL's top 10 sellers since 2004, was released Wednesday by the Indianapolis Colts, ending a record-setting era for a quarterback that resulted in a Super Bowl championship, four Most Valuable Player awards and at least three neck surgeries.
Having a player of Manning's ability and popularity changing uniforms is a boon for Nike, which won't only sell a lot of jerseys but utilize the offseason news to remind consumers of its relationship with the most popular sports league in the U.S, according to Matt Arnold, an analyst at Edward Jones & Co. in Des Peres, Missouri.
"It can't hurt that the league is getting attention in the offseason in light of Manning's move," said Arnold, who recommends buying the shares, which he doesn't own. "It's a very, very popular league and he's a very, very popular player."
Reebok, which was acquired by Adidas AG in 2006, has held the NFL license since 2001. Reebok-Adidas operates a plant on the east side of Indianapolis that churned out an estimated $200 million in annual revenue from NFL merchandise. The company is looking to replace the business by expanding other business lines.
Financial terms of the league's five-year apparel contract with Beaverton, Ore.-based Nike, the largest sporting-goods maker, weren't disclosed when it was announced in 2010. Advertising Age, citing executives close to the NFL, said the agreement is worth about $35 million a year. Nike's revenue through November was $22.7 billion.
Matt Powell, an analyst with Charlotte, N.C.- based SportsOneSource, a research firm focused on the sporting goods industry, says Nike will reap about $500 million this year on the sale of NFL merchandise because retailers allowed their Reebok inventory to wane in anticipation of the company switch.
"This is a big deal for Nike because retailers are going to have to fill up their racks again," Powell said via telephone. "Add on top of that a player like Manning changing teams, that'll help also."
Manning, 35, joined the Colts in 1998, blossoming into one of the league's best and most marketable players. Consumers rated New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Manning last year as the most marketable players in the NFL, according to the Marketing Arm's Celebrity DBI, an index that quantifies consumer perceptions of more than 2,800 celebrities. Manning, whose passing yards, completions and touchdowns are third on the NFL career list, was rated as the league's most recognizable player.
Manning has a 19-percent change of signing with the Arizona Cardinals, according to the Cal Neva Resort's sports book in Reno, Nev. The Miami Dolphins are second, ahead of the Washington Redskins.
Elite players who switch teams usually sell a lot of jerseys. Brett Favre, whose jersey was the No. 1 seller from April 2008 to March 2009 following his move to the New York Jets from the Green Bay Packers, ranked third the previous year, according to the NFL.
Manning's jersey ranked 18th among best sellers from April 2011 to February 2012, even though he didn't play last season while recovering from neck surgery.
"It's going to be exciting as a company watcher and consumer to see what Nike brings to the NFL in terms of merchandise," Arnold said.
By cutting Manning today, the Colts avoided having to pay him a $28 million bonus. Indianapolis, which was 2-14 last season, has the top pick in the draft and will select Stanford University quarterback Andrew Luck.
The Nike contract doesn't include hats, which was part of the Reebok agreement. NFL-branded hats will be made by New Era Cap Co. Manning is a Reebok endorser.

No automobiles, no clouds, but 40,000 people
Without a cloud in the sky and with temperatures in the 70s, an estimated 40,000 people joined the city's celebration of physical activity, Síclovía, more than doubling its attendance from last fall.
A two-mile stretch of Broadway, closed to traffic between McCullough Avenue and Mahncke Park from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m., was awash in a sea of people on foot and powering their own wheels — tricycles, tandem bikes, long board skateboards, rollerblades and wheelchairs included.
"I love the idea of taking back the streets," said Rosemary Hickman, who had driven from Houston with her husband to attend. "I haven't ridden a bike in like 10 years, and this feels awesome."
Part of a city-wide effort to reverse a growing diabetes and obesity problem, its inaugural event drew 15,000 last October and on Sunday hosted 10,000 more than the 30,000 the city had expected, Síclovía spokesman Randy Escamilla said.
Escamilla said the turnout reinforced the idea that San Antonio is seeing a "cultural shift" embracing good health. He said cities like Austin, Dallas and Houston are preparing to launch their own Síclovías based on San Antonio's success.
"I know it's like a news flash that we did something before Austin that was cool," Escamilla said. "But we talk to people all the time who are telling us that this is working and that they wish it was done once a month."
Síclovía, which is a San Antonio twist on the Spanish word cíclovía, or bike path, offered recreational and children's activities ranging from yoga in the park to cardio exercise demonstrations and a loosely organized drum circle that encouraged new participants to help keep the beat.
Sarah Harding, 47, who biked to Broadway with her family from the Lavaca neighborhood, said Síclovía encourages biking as an alternate form of transportation and brings awareness to the idea that roads should be shared.
In a "car city" like San Antonio, that could be a life-saving lesson, she said. She and her daughter have been yelled at by an angry motorist, she said. Her husband, Jesus de la Torre, who bikes to work, told of a driver who threw a full can of Coke at him.
"There are times when I'm ashamed of San Antonio, but things like this really do make me feel proud," de la Torre said. "This is very encouraging."
A new event, called Better Block, also drew attention, with its temporary vision of an ideal city block. A vacant building at East Jones and Broadway was turned into a hub for local vendors pedaling fresh flowers, food and live music. A newsstand sold magazines and books next to café-style tables.
Jason Roberts, 37, who co-developed the concept in Dallas in the mid 2000s, said it helped communities experiment with amenities that could eventually become permanent. Better Block, which has been recreated in more than 20 U.S. cities, is supposed to be a catalyst for future development, he said.
"Your average Joe and Jane don't know what these buzzwords like 'walkability' and 'urbanism' mean, but they know what places feel like," Roberts said.
The sidewalks were lined with a rain garden, the potted trees and plants donated by local landscaping businesses. Street posts were painted, an alley was converted into a beer garden and across the street, a community garden had sprung up in a desolate, concrete lot.
"The first question that people ask is if it's staying," said Angela Hartsell, community gardens program manager with the local nonprofit, Green Space Alliance of South Texas. By 3 p.m., as the trees began to get rolled away, Jules Lemelle was feeling a little melancholy.
"I came down thinking that this was a permanent set-up, but I'm happy I at least got to see it," he said.
The next Síclovía, in October, will be run by the Greater San Antonio YMCA.

Also known as People's Republic of Koffee? The coffee shop on 12th and Howell in Cap Hill (very near my apartment) merged a few months ago with the folks behind Scratch Deli food truck. The result is a chill, welcoming cafe with great coffee, gourmet sandwiches, and some of the best kept secret pastries in Seattle. I used to avoid coming here because really, who wants their coffee spelled with a K, but now I come by every few weekends to lounge or work in their living-room atmosphere (there's free wifi and sunny outdoor seating):
I'd come just for the coffee and sandwiches, but the main draw for me is the pastries. There are different items depending on what the guy happened to make, but I'm after two things – the cinnamon roll and the chocolate chip cookie. The cookie (not pictured) is the best I've had. Period. I almost wept as I ate it (and I think I really may have shed a tear when it was finished. The cinnamon roll is more elusive – I've only once managed to come at the right day and time and have been struggling since then to get my hands on one:
It's different from a traditional roll, and apparently has a croissant base, so I imagine the croissants are pretty delicious too. The scones are the only thing I haven't been super impressed with. But how do I describe the goodness of the cinnamon buns and the cookie? I can't… you'll just have to try them for yourself.

How did we survive without the chambray shirt for so long?
Currently I have three:
#1 here, from Madewell (and worn above). I love the lighter wash and longer silhouette. It is easy to tuck, because it never pops out and perfect worn over tighter bottoms because of the extended hem in the back.
#2 here, from H&M. It is a western style shirt in a more indigo wash. It's a bit sportier and I love to wear it with cropped cords and a great boot.
#3 here, from Anthropologie. I'm crazy about the grey wash and the roll cuff sleeve. I typically throw it on with black denim or printed skirts.
Searching for some Chambray of your own?
Here are a few good (super affordable) options: (All currently 50% off!)

Testing The Flickr Album In Post
Monday, August 17, 2009
We've moved my blog over here, and with the relocation I have decided that I'm going to make weekly updates. This is my "new site" resolution. Let's see if it sticks.
Topic of the blog: Put the same thing in, get the same thing out.
What does that mean? Well, in this case, it means that I am mixing things up a bit this year, with the plan of mixing things up differently in October. I have been very happy with my consecutive top-ten finishes in Hawaii; however, my aim is to finish higher. I have, therefore, changed what I am putting in, so I can change what I am getting out.
This year I chose not to race an Ironman in the spring/ early summer. I chose to train differently, under the guidance of Cliff English. And I chose to get faster and more competitive at the 70.3 distance. And finally, I chose to do a training camp in Kona.
Skipping over the details of my first few choices, I will now jump to my final choice listed here: the camp. To sum things up, I had an incredibly productive time on the Big Island; I trained long, hard hours alone, and I pushed myself on the race course in a way I not previously done in training. I feel that the time spent this August will lay a great foundation for my Ironman build next month, as well as for my race in October.
Details and photos found their way to my Twitter account, and various stories and recaps may surface in my now weekly blogs. Let's see if I can do it!

I love stuffed mushrooms. I like the ones made from Hy-Vee, but since we don't live near one, I had to make up my own.
2 Tbs of green onion
8 oz of cream cheese
12 baby bella mushrooms
1 cup of shredded cheese
First, I minced up 4 oz of imitation crab, and 2 Tablespoons of green onion. I mixed the imitation crab and onion with 8 oz of cream cheese.
Here is a list of the Linky parties that I link up to. Thank you to all of the hosts for letting me post my favorite recipes, crafts, money saving ideas and activities for children.
