Helloooo~ I'm back with another beauty haul! Last month Surabaya Beauty Blogger had a chance to do another collaboration with our favourite online store, Althea. Yeahh~ Also last month, Althea finally launched their first mobile app ever. If you lived in Indonesia, maybe you've already noticed that the Althea website is banned by the government with unclear reason. So, with the new mobile app now we can shop from Althea easily yay~~
Speaking of last month, it is also christmas and holiday month that's why to celebrate it, Althea also launched their limited edition holiday box with christmas theme. If the usual box is pink color, this time is blue color with snowflakes decoration. It looks super pretty!
Now, let's check out my haul.
Dry water powder
This is my first dry shampoo ever. Yes, I knew I was late about dry shampoo but I guess better late than never try right? hehehe. The type is water when I spray it. But after sometime it will dry and makes my greasy hair become dry and easy to style again. It also smells good. Such a lifesaver during busy day.
CP-1 Quick Dry Mist
It is said to reduce the time to drying hair. I,personally don't found anything special about reducing the time, but this spray smells really good.
The Skin Food Tomato Whitening Emulsion
This is for my mom. Actually I'm looking for the serum because it is one of my HG but can't found it so switch it to the emulsion. I hope it also works good like the serum.
Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Mist
I know many benefits from aloe vera gel but it's quite surprising to saw the soothing gel in a mist bottle. Merely grab this due to curiosity hehehe.
COC Lovely Pink Heart Multi Volume Brush
COC Purifing Brush CleanserNever heard about this brand before but the pink heart shaped brush is too die for hahaha. It is too cute and pink! The bristle is quite soft and easy to use.
Calmia Cleansing TissueAdding this to make my cart get a free shipping. I rarely use cleansing tissue when I'm at home, but when I travel around I prefer this kind of cleanser because it is handy and easy to use.
Callus Care Elbow Pack
I always have problem with dry elbow, so I hope this pack can help with my problem.
That's all my haul from Althea~ If you want to check my unboxing video click HERE.

She's also done personal and small-group training. She's incredibly passionate about helping others and creating a fun and supportive atmosphere for everyone.
She began dabbling in CrossFit in 2009 by watching videos on CrossFit.com—think Zac doing the 400-m runs and 50 air squats and Michele as one of the "flying ladies"—but was determined not to drink the kool-aid until the day she stepped into her first CrossFit box in 2010.
She was hooked right away when her first coach, Pat Barber, aka "Manimal," aka Taz Barber's hubby, of CrossFit Santa Cruz made her feel like she was already a part of the community. The atmosphere that CrossFit fosters, was exactly what she was looking for and she knew right away that this was where she wanted to be—never mind that the workouts were insane and she loved it!
Her goal for our athletes is to foster a supportive, fun, educational environment and for everyone to feel successful. We are a community of people that are passionate about living a healthy life and helping others do the same.

Growing up Samantha never considered herself an athlete. She played recreational soccer and a season of volleyball, but never played any high-school sports. While in college, she lived a fairly active lifestyle going on hikes, playing in the intramural volleyball league on campus, and going snowboarding, but never specifically trained for anything. After a breakup, she took up long-distance running to help cope with overwhelming emotions. She soon developed a love for running and eventually fitness. Samantha found CrossFit unexpectedly and immediately knew she would love it. Right away she recognized that she would love to coach CrossFit, too, so when the opportunity presented itself to get certified as a CrossFit coach she jumped at it.
Samantha loves being a CrossFit coach because it allows her to play a role in helping people get healthier and realize their true potential.

How Bronchitis is Spread: How Does Bronchitis Spread?Spread through contact with the virus in precisely the same style the flu and cold virus is spread. The virus is carried through the dirty respiratory droplets of an infected man eliminated through the nose or mouth. For instance, if the telephone is then used by an infected person coughs on his hands, the virus can live on the telephone handset all night. The next person to use the telephone is subsequently at risk for contracting the virus., dhs. wisconsin. Gov) Less generally, bronchitis can be contracted by being exposed to respiratory irritants such as pollution, dust, smoke, vapors, and fumes. ("Acute Bronchitis:Medline Plus", nlm. nih. Gov) Bronchitis from irritants are not contagious and don't spread to others in the same style that viral bronchitis is spread.
Bronchitis Contagious?Itself is not infectious. Your body may or may not react to virus the exact same way or that bacteria, so you won't automatically develop bronchitis if you do get their cold/flu/etc. You may also develop bronchitis, but not because it's infectious, should you be in exactly the same environment as the person.
Can I Spread Bronchitis?I suffered from Chronic Bronchitis. Each time I would get terrible hacking coughs, hoarking green phlegm up. The secret to getting rid of your bronchitis will be to discover a way to totally remove the germs which are causing irritation leading and all the phlegm to your hoarking cough and heavy breathing.
Bronchitis (Acute) Symptoms, Treatment, CausesWhat's, and what are the causes of acute bronchitis? Acute bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchial tubes, and acute bronchitis is suggested by a cough lasting 5 or more days . People who have recurrent acute bronchitis may develop chronic bronchitis. The most common reasons for acute bronchitis are viruses. Bacterial causes of the disorder include: Other irritants (for instance, tobacco smoke, chemicals, etc.) may irritate the bronchi and cause acute bronchitis.
Bronchitis Contagious and How Does It Spread?In most cases, bronchitis is the result of a virus and ordinarily is contagious. But if you have the flu and develop bronchitis from it, the illness which you risk spread is the, not always Could I Disperse Another Illness if I Have bronchitis happens when a virus attacks the lining of the airways leading into the lungs, causing swelling and a growth in mucus production. What Should I Do If I Get cases of acute bronchitis resolution on their own within a week or so. The cough can linger for several weeks and even a majority of cases of bronchitis are due to viruses, you should not take it to be treated by antibiotics.

The information available on how bronchitis is spread is infinite. There just seems to be so much to learn about, and to write about on how bronchitis is spread.
Most people with chronic bronchitis have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). With several other factors like air pollution and genetics playing a smaller job, tobacco smoking is the most common cause. Symptoms of chronic bronchitis may include wheezing and shortness of breath, especially. Smoking cigarettes or other types of tobacco cause most cases of chronic bronchitis. Moreover, long-term inhalation of air pollution or irritating fumes or dust from hazardous exposures in professions for example grain handling, coal mining, textile manufacturing, livestock farming, and metal moulding may also be a risk factor for the development of chronic bronchitis. Unlike other common obstructive illnesses for example asthma or emphysema, bronchitis patient education a high residual volume (the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximal exhalation effort). The completion of this article on how bronchitis is spread was our prerogative since the past one month. However, we completed it within a matter of fifteen days!
Dry drowning in toddlers can be defined as a condition developed as a result of water entering into the lungs of the toddlers. This may suffocate the baby causing death due to lack of oxygen in the lungs. It can happen immediately after the water has entered the lungs or after 24 hours. In some cases, if the damage caused by dry drowning is not properly treated, then symptoms can show up once again after several days and may lead to death as well. Usually, the water gets into the lungs of the toddlers while in the swimming pool or even in a bathtub. You may be surprised to know that water from the bathtub can cause dry drowning in infants or toddlers. Therefore, you should be alert while giving bath to your tiny tot. Toddlers do not have well-developed lungs, and hence are more susceptible to dry drowning. The condition worsens if the toddler has some lung problems or any other breathing problem, or has been diagnosed with pneumonia or asthma in the past.
What to Do If You Think Your Dog Has Kennel CoughOnce your dog starts to vomit, or once you notice his or her cough is getting much worse, it is imperative to get him or her to the veterinarian as soon as possible as too much vomiting can cause dehydration and become dangerous for your dog. After kennel cough has been diagnosed, your veterinarian may give your puppy an antibiotic. This can upset your dog's stomach, though, and make the vomiting worse, so you may want to ask about vomit suppressants while you're there to avoid another trip to the vet later. When you get home, be sure to take the water bowl away from the dog, as gulping water can also upset your dog's stomach. Give him or her ice cubes every hour or so, and little bits of food if you can, to keep your furry friend hydrated. Most importantly, you must keep your dog away from other dogs while he or she has symptoms. As long as the symptoms persist, your dog is still highly contagious. Don't spread the misery to other animals; be sure to keep your dog secluded. Writing an article on Lungs was our foremost priority while thinking of a topic to write on. This is because Lungs are interesting parts of our lives, and are needed by us.
- Chest Pain Chest pain is not at all common among toddlers.
- So, if your tot is complaining of pain in the chest, then it is a warning signal that something is seriously wrong.
- This happens because of the pressure created on the chest by the vacuum within the lungs.
- The results of one reading this composition is a good understanding on the topic of Lungs.
- So do go ahead and read this to learn more about Lungs.
- Secondly, decongestants and cough suppressants are helpful in clearing pulmonary congestion.
- They help in clearing mucus and ease breathing.
- Thirdly, menthol containing cream can also be used to clear congestion.
- You can rub it on your chest or on the nose to ease breathing and prevent cough.
- Apart from these, there are several natural methods that can be equally effective to treat persistent cough.
Fatigue and ExhaustionUsually, toddlers are a bundle of energy. If you find that all of a sudden your tiny tot is showing lack of energy after playing during bath, then it could be the sign of dry drowning. This symptom is often ignored by parents because they feel that their child is just tired after long hours of play.
Change in BehaviorWhen toddlers feel any discomfort, it gets reflected in their mood and behavior. You may also find that your toddler may appear confused and is unable to follow your verbal instructions or is getting overly agitated. The problem with toddlers is that they cannot easily express their thoughts and feelings. As a result, emotional changes can be observed in them. Remember that it is very important to have a disciplined mode of writing when writing. This is because it is difficult to complete something started if there is no discipline in writing especially when writing on Lungs.
Revealing the differences mainly lies in the part of the respiratory tract that is affected by inflammation. While bronchiolitis is mainly caused by respiratory synctial virus, bronchitis could be caused by varied strains of bacteria and viruses. Well, whatever be the cause, the symptoms are quite distressing and thus, precautionary measures must be taken. Since these conditions are associated with the inflammation of airways, care must be taken to ensure that the surroundings are free of substances that may irritate the airways. Since viruses can become air-borne, and can spread through inhalation of respiratory secretions, one must maintain distance from those who are down with flu or other viral infections. Since people with a weakened emmanuel college are more likely to develop such ailments, one must make the right lifestyle choices in order to strengthen the immune system, so as to promote good health.
Sometimes, a sore throat can be accompanied by cough, which can be productive or non-productive. A non-productive cough is also known as a dry cough, which can be identified by the absence of phlegm or sputum production, unlike a productive cough.
Case of pulmonary fibrosis, the elastic properties of the lungs get affected due to the replacement of elastin by collagen. Collagen is not as elastic as elastin, which affects the ability to lungs to stretch or expand. This leads to reduced compliance. On the other hand, emphysema is characterized by damage to the elastic tissue of the alveolar sacs in the lungs due to enzymes secreted by leukocytes (white blood cells). Smokers are at a high risk for emphysema. The secretion of enzymes occurs due to exposure to irritants from cigarette smoke. Emphysema leads to poor elastic recoil, which in turn leads to high lung compliance. People affected by emphysema find it harder to exhale or expel air out of the lungs. As a result, they experience shortness of breath. At times, the alveolar sacs could become filled with fluid due to edema, which in turn might be observed in case of pneumonia or left-sided heart failure. This will also result in reduced lung compliance.
Elastic tension increases during inspiration and decreases due to recoil during expiration. Lung compliance is inversely proportional to elastic resistance. The elastic forces that are responsible for lung compliance include: We do hope that you find the information here something worth recommending others to read and think about once you complete reading all there is about Chest Bronchitis.
Another home remedy for these two conditions is lemon juice. Add a few drops of honey to it and drink the mixture. You can also mix about 1 to 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, and drink the mixture to get relief from the soreness.

In postnasal drip, the nasal mucosa produces excess mucus, which then accumulates in the throat or back of the nose. This can cause a sore throat and cough. Apart from these, gastroesophageal reflux disease can produce soreness in the throat and a dry cough, besides causing difficulty in swallowing.
- Mononucleosis Also known as the 'kissing disease', mononucleosis spreads through contact with the saliva of the infected individual.
- This viral disease is characterized by fever and enlarged lymph nodes, especially in the neck and the armpits.
- This infectious disease can also cause swollen tonsils, fatigue or malaise, skin rash, and headaches.
- Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, and is more common in teenagers and young adults.
- There are universal applications on Acute Bronchitis Dry Cough everywhere.

Hannity continued to push "statutory rape" smear even after Fox reporter questioned story's accuracy
Research ››› ››› JEREMY SCHULMAN
On October 1, Fox News writer Maxim Lott acknowledged that he did not know whether the former student at the center of Fox's smear campaign against Kevin Jennings was in fact only 15 years old when -- 21 years ago -- that student told Jennings of his involvement with an "older man." But despite Fox's own reporter's questions about the accuracy of the story, Fox host Sean Hannity subsequently repeated the false allegation that Jennings failed to report to authorities the "statutory rape" of a 15-year-old.
Former student was 16 years old -- the MA age of consent -- at time of conservation with Jennings
Driver's license confirms former student was 16 at the time. Media Matters for America exclusively obtained the Massachusetts driver's license of "Brewster," the former student of Jennings, confirming that at the time of the conversation, he was 16 years old -- the legal age of consent in Massachusetts.
Former student says he was "a sixteen year-old" and was the age "of legal consent at the time." In an October 2 statement obtained by Media Matters, Brewster said:
Since I was of legal consent at the time, the fifteen-minute conversation I had with Mr. Jennings twenty-one years ago is of nobody's concern but his and mine. However, since the Republican noise machine is so concerned about my "well-being" and that of America's students, they'll be relieved to know that I was not "inducted" into homosexuality, assaulted, raped, or sold into sexual slavery.
In 1988, I had taken a bus home for the weekend, and on the return trip met someone who was also gay. The next day, I had a conversation with Mr. Jennings about it. I had no sexual contact with anybody at the time, though I was entirely legally free to do so. I was a sixteen year-old going through something most of us have experienced: adolescence. I find it regrettable that the people who have the compassion and integrity to protect our nation's students are themselves in need of protection from homophobic smear attacks. Were it not for Mr. Jennings' courage and concern for my well-being at that time in my life, I doubt I'd be the proud gay man that I am today.
October 1, 5:03 p.m.: Fox's Lott questions accuracy of "rumors" that student was 15
Lott asks former student whether "rumor" that he was 15 is "accurate." As Media Matters for America exclusively reported, Lott sent a Facebook message to Brewster with a timestamp reading, "October 1 at 5:03pm." Lott wrote: "Please give me a call or e-mail me if you'd like to clear up any of the rumors out there. In particular, in one speech Jennings said that you were 15 when he gave you advice. Is that accurate?" Lott had written two prior stories for FoxNews.com discussing Jennings' 1988 conversation with Brewster and has claimed as fact that Brewster was 15 at the time -- despite that fact that significant publicly available evidence suggested that Brewster was actually 16. (Lott's stories now contain an editor's note stating, "Since this story was originally published, the former student referred to as 'Brewster' has stepped forward to reveal that he was 16 years old, not 15, at the time of the incident described in this report.")
Later on October 1: Hannity continued to push "statutory rape" of 15-year-old smear
October 1, 9:04 p.m.: Hannity repeats "statutory rape" smear. Following Lott's message questioning the accuracy of "rumors" that Brewster was 15 at the time of his conversation with Jennings, Hannity said on his Fox News show:
HANNITY: So will Kevin Jennings follow in the footsteps of Van Jones and all of the others that have been forced out of the Obama administration?
I'm joined now by the author of the New York Times bestseller, Guilty, Ann Coulter, and Fox News contributor, Kirsten Powers.
Guys, welcome aboard. Here's where this gets to be a big problem, Ann, because he even admitted in 2000 himself that this sophomore, who he said -- he said -- is 15 years old, came to him and said that he was having a relationship with an adult male.
His advice was -- not to tell the authorities, because by definition that would be, as The Washington Times said, statutory rape. His advice was to ask if he was wearing a condom. [Fox News' Hannity, 10/1/09]
October 1, 9:32 p.m.: Hannity alleges "statutory rape" of "15-year-old kid." Later on his Fox News show, Hannity said:
HANNITY: All right, so we have, you know, another czar in trouble. And many of them. All right, the latest one, this guy Kevin Jennings. You know, here's a guy. You're a pastor. And a 15-year-old kid goes into his office, seeks advice. He's having a relationship with an older -- with an adult, which, by the way, he said he was 15. That would be statutory rape.

More than many other businesses, franchisees and dealers have to be thoughtful about passing on their businesses to the next generation. Why? Because franchisees and dealers face an additional hurdle to succession -- corporate approval.
It's not enough for a franchisee's children to work in the business or get a business education. They must also pass the test with the franchisor or manufacturer, or they won't be able to step into the leadership role. This makes advance succession planning all the more critical.
In addition to the challenges of planning for effective succession to one or more children, The Family Business Consulting Group assists franchisees and dealers in advance planning and leadership development to prepare successors to step into their future roles.
More than individual families, we also facilitate training and education for groups of franchisees and dealers in partnership with franchisors, manufacturers, trade associations and other groups. We design and deliver custom educational programs and webinars as well as our Family Business University facilitated program.

A SURJ of Hope in This Summer of Discontent
Posted by Editor at 7:04 pm 0 Comment Print
Jim Smith/El HiSPANO
Philadelphia – The unrest that followed last week's killings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge,Louisiana and Philalando Castile in Minnesota, appeared little abated, as Thursday night's ambush and retaliatory shootings claimed the lives of five Dallas police officers who were protecting demonstrators.
On the weekend following the Dallas shootings, Philadelphia Police Department's 24th and 25th districts was besieged by a virulent and hostile group of African American, Latino and white protesters. Among the highest crime areas in the city – the Fairhill district's police officers – that had recently begun community outreach to break down barriers within this heavily Latino area – were subjected to relentless hostile diatribes and taunts of "pigs," among other things.
While all the officers remained silently stoic under the barrage of insults, the worst aimed at African American officers, with one woman remarking, "Sad to see" in a police uniform. "Hatred of self."
Of the handful of speakers who addressed the officers during the more than hour long protest, an unidentified Latina spoke of her personal "pain," the result of a father who was taken away and a brother apparently shot by the police.
"How would you guys feel if somebody came in your house and took your father away?" she asked. "You guys are doing it to us."
A nearby white man then shouted, "No empathy."
Within a Latino community that often seems caught in between competing forces, most took a balanced view: Carmen Rodriguez of New Jersey said, "All cops aren't bad, all African Americans aren't thugs and all whites aren't racists."
A law enforcement professional himself, Manny Sanchez praised the performance of "my guys" in the 24th and 25th district, recalling that the officers are now routinely "playing basketball with kids" in the streets of Kensington and often provide "free lunches" for children in the area.
Another defender of the city's police department, Randy Hernandez described all police officers as "peace officers" who are "serving their community." Mr. Hernandez added, that he was no longer 'remaining silent" about attacks on law enforcement:
"Only cowards and criminals shoot at police officers or anyone. These men," he said, referring to the five Dallas officers, "did absolutely nothing. Nothing but go to work and serve their community."
An angry Jess Perez sharply denounced the vicious abuse the officers of the 24th and 25th district faced over the weekend. "This bleeps me off," said the mother of two. "They do this bleep to get a reaction from the police officers, and so they can get their fifteen minutes of fame. It's disgusting."
A leader of New Jersey's business community that relies on Camden's police officers, Jose Mota demonstrated solidarity with the department by posing for a picture with two of Camden's female officers and releasing it to social media.
A Monday morning protest organized by the Philadelphia chapter of "Showing Up for Racial Justice" or SURJ, may have the most positive event that emerged from the recent shootings on officers and civilians, as more than one hundred, twenty-something young people -white, African American and Latino- assembled outside City Hall demanding that the majority of the nation's population "take a stand for Black Lives."
Chanting "Black Lives Matter" and "No Justice, No Peace," the group that was led by Rachel Ternes, Genevieve Beck Roe and John Bergen, demanded an end to "violence by police toward black and brown people; were critical of police unions that support officers regardless of their conduct; and called for a "clear explanation from city officials and local police of how they will end police violence."
"We need to move towards a society where our black and brown brothers are actually safe," said Mr. Bergen. The 24-year-old spokesman for SURJ added, that it was important for the majority and "privileged" population of the county to "educate" themselves about "police brutality."
While demanding an aggressive response from Mayor Kenney, Mr. Bergen urged those non-minorities to get involved in 'Black Lives Matters" demonstrations and work with activist groups like SURJ, "that seeks social justice and put pressure on the city to really address the root cause of these problems."
Both Ms. Ternes and Beck Roe stressed the fact that the city's law enforcement has a "long history of racial profiling and racist violence," urging that the city provide "more resources" to African American and Latino communities.
"The more pressure we put on the city and state as citizens and demand concrete solutions," continued Mr. Bergen, "change is going to happen, as more and more people wake up and demand change."

Two days from now, and a day after my birthday, I will fly to Gummersbach, Germany. I will attend a week-long seminar on "Local Government and Civil Society" to be sponsored by the International Academy for Leadership (IAF) of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty. My route will be Manila-Amsterdam-Cologne (KLM air). From Cologne airport, a car will fetch me and bring me to the venue in Gummersbach, 56 kms. away.
This will be my 2nd visit to Germany. My first visit was 5 years ago, in October 2003. I came from Sweden for a 7-weeks international training on "Sustainable Agriculture". After the end of that seminar, I took Eurolines and travelled to visit a friend in The Hague, Netherlands, passing by Denmark and northern Germany. It was a tiring 17 hours road trip, but nonetheless lots of sight-seeing. After 2 days, I took Eurolines again and took a 13 hours trip from The Hague (left there close to midnight) to Munich, Germany, to visit another friend. We were very few passengers in that trip.
When the bus reached Stuttgart, there were only 4 of us. The bus driver made a phone call and several minutes later, we were transferred to a van and it will take us 4 remaining passengers to Munich. I sat at the back of the driver. I immediately noticed the speed of the van. While buses and trucks have speed limit of 100 kph maximum, cars don't have speed limit in many of Germany's "autobahn" or expressways, except in some congested intersections. The van was running at 125 kph on average, and I saw several cars whizzing by at probably 150 to 200 kph! I exclaimed to myself, "so this is the autobahn!"
My friend, Christian Beil, is a German lawyer. His wife, Astrid, is a Filipina. At Munich central station, the couple and their son were waiting for me. They immediately toured me around some interesting areas in Munich: the BMW plant, the Olympics stadium (about 1972 Munich Olympics), the city hall, other interesting places.
Christian lives in Miesbach, about an hour by car south of Munich. It's a tiny but cool city. It's near the ski resorts of Bavaria too. Christian brought me to a ski resort high up in the mountains. I enjoyed posing for pictures in the snow. It was good that there was a thick snowfall in late September or early October of that year in the mountains of Bavaria. From the mountains, we went to Tegernsee Lake, then another resort with sauna, a swimming pool, etc.
From below zero Celsius at the mountains, up to probably 70 or 80 celsius sauna in a matter of an hour or so, it was really weird! I was glad I didn't get sick then. In the evening, Christian would always have a few bottles of locally-brewed beer ready as we chat on many things.
At the end of our seminar in Gummersbach, I will visit again Christian and his family in early November. This time, they have 2 kids already. And this time, I will take the train, from Cologne to Munich. They will meet me again in Munich.
I am excited to see that city again, also Miesbach, the lakes and the ski resorts in the mountains!

No longer than 2 years ago, at a dinner with the Silicon Valley execs, Steve Jobs told President Obama responding to the question what would it take to manufacture iPhones in the States: "These jobs are not coming back". Are we witnessing a reversal of the trend? My answer is — not really, but this case of backshoring does make some business sense. Here is why. Continue reading

Having My Way with Ruby Red Grapefruit
But let me tell you what is great about grapefruits, and why you should read this post and give this sadly maligned fruit another chance, even if you think you don't like it. Grapefruits are citrus fruits, very high in vitamin C; one grapefruit provides 156% of the RDA of C. It also contains 6 to 8 grams of fiber and significant amounts of vitamins A, B5, folate, and potassium, all for about 80 calories. This amazing fruit has been shown to contain nutrients that help repair our DNA and also can lower cholesterol. If you choose a pink or red grapefruit, you are also getting a healthy dose of lycopene, a carotenoid that fights free radicals and may help prevent cancer. For more health benefits of grapefruits, read this article.
Let me start by saying I really dislike regular (white) grapefruits. They taste bitter and too sour to me. But give me a nice pink one or better yet, a Ruby Red grapefruit, and I am in heaven! They're so sweet and juicy and refreshing.
For most of my life, I ate grapefruits by slicing them in half and digging out the sections with a grapefruit spoon. That's fine, but tedious, and you can get squirted in the eye. I recently found a new way to prep my grapefruits, thanks to the fabulous *Bitch Cakes* (thanks Sheryl, I love your blog!) I *hate* eating membranes of citrus but I never thought to prep them this way. You have to try it!
First, cut the ends off the grapefruit.
Then slice off the peel and outer membrane. This is way easy!
When you're done, you have a ball, like this:
Trim off any bits of white membrane on the outside so it is nice and pretty:
Then just slice the segments out, leaving the membranes behind! Do this over a bowl.
When you've cut all the segments out, squeeze the remaining membranes over the bowl to get all the yummy juices. Discard the membrane. Pick out any seeds in the bowl. And you get:
Beautiful, membrane-and-seed-free, sweet juicy grapefruit! Easy and delicious. I then drizzle a half teaspoon of honey over the segments and stir to dissolve it because I really love the flavor of honey with grapefruit. But it is sweet enough on its own. If you get one that isn't quite sweet enough for you, try a tiny drizzle of honey. Just a bit takes the edge off the tartness and brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit.
One of my favorite breakfasts is Ruby Red grapefruit with a piece of whole wheat peanut butter toast (I use 1 T peanut butter on warm toast). I think the flavors of the peanut butter and toast really go well with grapefruit! Give it a try!

OMG! I just dissected a giant ruby red and slurped it up with reckless abandon and then noticed your post. I love them, definitely one of my favorite "diet" foods. ;) A low glycemic sweet treat that's high in fiber, too.

I'm a grapefruit weirdo. I'll peel it like an orange and eat it. The membrane is not a big deal to me, I just peel that off too, the best I can.

I'm a grapefruit gal from way back. My parents had a grapefruit grove in Florida when we first moved there when I was 4 - I've loved them since. I cut them the same way you showed, including squeezing the juice from the remaining membrane clump over the fruit in the bowl. YUM!

hi there, love your blog but i know i don't comment very often - I just have one little comment though, I was wondering if you stilll get the fiber fruit the fruit even if you don't eat the membranes. For some reason that is where I assume most of the fiber came from.

Interesting - your breakfast is a lot like mine except I eat my membranes and I eat hummus on toast instead of PB. For some reason, I don't like warm PB.
Good breakfast and it holds me until lunch just fine.

I love Ruby Red grapefruit, too. But I don't mind the membranes, so I just either slice it in half or peel it and eat it like an orange.
- February 3, 2010 at 2:39 PM
- Lyn said...
great question! According to the USDA, approximately half of the fiber in a serving of fresh grapefruit comes from the membranes. So yes, you do lose half the fiber by not eating them. So a grapefruit prepared the way I have pictured and eaten without the membranes would provide 3-4 grams of fiber.

I never thought I liked grapefruit till a few months ago. Once I started eating them, first sprinkled with splenda, I loved them. Now I just peel and eat like an orange, also. I only buy the pink or red.

I just peal my grapefruit like an orange and cut it into segments less as much of the white stuff. Seems like a lot of wasted fruit doing it that way....but GO GRAPEFRUIT!!!

mmmmmmmmmmm..... looks just juicy and delish!!! :)

If you want to get fancy with your terminology, this method of prepping citrus fruits is called "frenching." You can also peel grapefruits with your fingers, like oranges. Mmm, grapefruits.

I love pink and Ruby grapefruit and eat lots of them when they're in season. I even squeeze one into a liter of water sometimes, just to jazz up my water.
The membranes contain potent cancer-preventing phytonutrients.

We're all done and dusted with the good old dungarees and their kids, dungaree skirts and dungaree dresses. What's new, you ask?
Cue the gorgeous and uber cute dungaree palazzos!
I was lazily shifting through the countless racks of clothes in one of the major Show Off outlets when I spotted this rare beauty. And to my absolute joy, it was in my all time favorite color and pattern – black and striped!
It comes with a zipper at the back and the (suspenders) are to be tied.
Let's dive into the pros and cons of these beauties right away.
- They're hella comfortable.
- Unlike some dungarees that come with a pair of fixed length suspenders, these are otherwise, and can be tied near the shoulder or the back.
- They're definitely unique and would make you stand out.
- Call me stupid, but I like the swishing sound they make when I walk.
- Amidst all that fabric, it gets pretty hot in there, despite the perceived ventilation.
- The strips of fabric to be tied over the shoulders could keep slipping off, despite your best efforts.
- It gets a wee bit complicated when nature calls.
These may not be liked by everyone as they're slightly over the top and not subtle, then again that's true for a lot of pieces out there. I feel at home when I'm wearing these and I think I've already worn these thrice since I bought them.
What I'm wearing:
The dungaree palazzos are from Show Off.
The off-shoulder red top is from Kazo.
The ornamental striped shirt is from Van Heusen.
The red heels are from Dressberry.
The black metal earrings are from Westside.
Let me know what you think about the look in the comments! Until next time. 🙂
Sincere thanks to my photographer Dakshinya Shree N and my editor Samhita Kanthavar.

Since the advent of membrane technology applications in commercial and industrial water desalination and purification plants utilizing RO, NF, UF & MF processes, membrane manufacturers, system suppliers and end-users alike have been facing two major problems: how to adequately and reliably monitor membrane system performance and how to detect membrane fouling and scaling development in real time and before significant or irreversible loss of performance and equipment occurs. The current industry-standard membrane performance analysis and evaluation is based on normalization of operating data in accordance with ASTM D-4516 standard method.
What's Wrong with ASTM Performance Trending?
This analytical technique was originally developed by the industry's pioneer and early leader, DuPont, and represents only the membrane performance trend from a membrane manufacturer's point of view based on in-house test data and not on reallife site-specific plant's design, operating parameters and other dynamics. By definition, trending requires a statistically valid, and reasonably large amount of operating data records plotted over a long period of time to establish a definite trend. Field experience at a large variety of membrane plants around the world in the past 20 years shows that it is virtually impossible to detect the early development of membrane fouling in a system simply by monitoring a long-term trending analysis. By then, the fouling practically becomes too significant (i.e., uncleanable) and often causing irreversible loss in performance and element damage. This is largely due to the fact that fouling is cumulative in nature and builds up over a long period of time, unless it is already too severe from the start, before it starts noticeably exhibiting its physical effects at the plant.
The Fouling Monitor (FM)
To address the critical need of RO, NF and other membrane plant operators and owners to detect and measure membrane fouling or scaling development as early as it starts to occur and to monitor the real performance of their membrane systems in realtime, MASAR Technologies, Inc., has developed an innovative and practical new approach – the Silent Alarm. The new approach was discovered after many years of closely monitoring and trending the flux decline performance of a large RO plant 2 with a biofouling history that exhibited itself suddenly after the first 2 years of operation.

Well choosing a nice wallpaper for your walls can be a very daunting task. But you can allow yourself to read as many wallpaper books as you can find. There are a lot of types of wallpaper coverings available in the market. But each type just requires a different application, preparation, and finishing work according to its characteristics. Painter And Decorator Birmingham can help you with applying your desired wallpaper cover with ease just give us a call!
The two primary differences on the backsides of wallcoverings and what they may mean to you are
- Prepasted or unpasted: Perhaps the most obvious difference on the backside of wallpaper is the presence or lack of paste. The vast majority of in-stock wallcoverings are prepasted. You activate this factory-applied adhesive by applying a pre-paste activator or by dipping the paper in a water tray.
- Dry-strippable or peelable: This feature will be a greater concern down the road when you, or the next occupant of your home, want to remove the paper. Dry-strippable paper peels off in its entirety. Peelable paper peels off but leaves behind its paper backing. This backing can be papered over (assuming that it's in good shape) or removed with a wallpaper remover solution before painting. Keep in mind that strippable wallpaper or the paper backing of peelable wallpaper is easily removable only if the substrate was properly sealed before installation.

Without a doubt, the most important factor in choosing wallpaper is choosing a pattern you like. You also must make sure that the pattern works in the particular room that you plan to paper. Here are some basic aesthetic guidelines:
- Vertical stripes or patterns make the ceiling appear higher.
- Horizontal stripes or patterns seem to widen a room and bring ceilings down.
- Large patterns generally don't look good in a small room because they tend to overpower the space and make it seem smaller. A large, open pattern looks best in a larger space.
- A mini-print or a paper with a small pattern or geometric design suits smaller dimensions.
- Dark colors make a room seem smaller.
- Wallpaper with a light background makes a room look larger.

Nutritionally Complete Protein
American lamb is a prime source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals.
Lamb's protein is nutritionally complete, with all 8 essential amino acids in the proper ratio. A 3-ounce serving provides 43-percent of an adult male's Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein.
Trim the Fat
Lamb is also high in B vitamins, niacin, zinc and iron.
Compared to other meats, lamb contains very little marbling (internal fat throughout the meat.) Since most of the fat lamb does have is on the outside edges, it's easily trimmed. That means fewer calories -- only 176 in an average 3-ounce serving - or 7-percent of the average daily caloric intake recommended for a 23 to 50 year-old male.
A recent study also shows that only about 36-percent of the fat in lamb is saturated. The rest is mono or polyunsaturated, the "good" fat in one's diet.
American lamb has a wonderfully mild flavor that can be enhanced by a myriad of enticing marinades, simple herbs or robust spices, making it a perfect fit for today's trend toward more flavorful and healthful food.
Recipe: Lamb Pasta Primavera
1/2 pound lean ground American lamb
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan or Asiago cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced (1-1/2 cups)
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cups meatless spaghetti sauce
8 ounces spaghetti or linguini
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan or Asiago cheese
Combine ground lamb, 2 tablespoons cheese and garlic powder. Mix well and form into 24, 3/4-inch balls. Heat spaghetti sauce in a large saucepan. Add meatballs to sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer five minutes. Stir in zucchini and mushrooms; cook six to eight minutes more or until vegetables are tender. Cook pasta according to package direction; drain. Serve spaghetti and meatball mixture over pasta; top with remaining cheese. Yield: 4 Servings
