I've driven through Black Diamond a million times, but have never actually stopped. For years people have told me about an amazing bookstore there. Even though I love bookstores, I just never got around to going. So I decided I was finally going to Baker Street Books. Pulling up my GPS and after a bit of research, I discovered that I missed my chance, Baker Street Books was no longer in business. Well, I reasoned, there were probably other things to see, so I'm going to go anyway. Seeing more than one mention of Black Diamond Bakery and it being on the same street the bookstore was, I set my GPS to the bakery.
Pulling up to Railroad Avenue, you first see a cute restored train station:The Black Diamond Museum (www.blackdiamondmuseum.org). I was lucky it was Thursday because they are only open on the weekends and one day during the work week, Thursday. The people running it were extremely friendly and helpful, happy to tell you stories of the artifacts and town. Some of the artifacts on display belonged to them! I just caught the tail end of a lecture being put on for a group of retired seniors and a homeschooling group.
After learning a bit about coal mining at the museum, I sauntered down Railroad Avenue. Beside the museum is Black Diamond Antiques & More, where Baker Street Books used to be (www.facebook.com/Black-Diamond-Antiques-More). It was fairly large and crammed full of every kind of antique you could want.
Next to that is the Smoke House and More (www.thesmokehouseandmore.com). No, not cigarettes, but smoked meats. It smelled heavenly with the smoker working right outside.
After that is a long building with several shops inside: a gift shop, an espresso bar, an ice cream shop, a juice bar and the famous Black Diamond Bakery and Restaurant (www.blackdiamondbakery.com). The restaurant had cloth table coverings and a gorgeous view of a garden with the mountains behind it. Nevertheless it wasn't super expensive, it had mid-range prices. It's been there as a bakery since 1902! The hostess said on Friday nights they serve prime rib that people come from all around to eat. The espresso bar has "Jazz Nights in the Coffee Shop" on the 1st and 3rd Fridays from 6:30- 9:00 pm.Tempting as that bakery case was, I put on a few pounds this winter, so I managed to resist, but from the smell, I'm sure they were delicious..
Across the street from the museum is Black Diamond Pizza & Deli (360-886-9217). I glanced inside and it is very warm and inviting. Besides the mouth watering smell of yeast and basil, it is decorated in warm wood and has good music on in the background.
I headed to other horizons after that, but from the feedback I've been getting online, I missed several good places so I will have to go back soon. What are your favorite places in Black Diamond?

I love these flip flops
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 10.0
- Height: 6'1"
- Weight: 195lbs
What can I say. These are made by Chaco, so they will be very durable!
But really, these are incredibly nice flip flops. Before purchasing these, I have always been the guy who has bought cheap and sub-par flip flops. I can say that I will never be doing that again! I love the bumpy pattern on the soles, which gives it some grip to your feet. The only complaint I have about them is that they can heat up in the heat because they are black, so definitely put them in the shade if you choose to buy a pair!
So Comfy
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Height: 6'0"
- Weight: 195lbs
I'm so happy I founded these wide flip flops. I loved them from the moment I put them on.... They are so comfortable because of the softness Of the material Against the bottom of my feet. But - What I like most is the fact they fit my feet... I usually have to buy a size larger due to my wide feet. Not with these... They actually y fit.
Island and Lake Certified
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

Bought these for my Dad before a sailing trip to the BVI. He has a wide, flat foot and typically wears a 10.5 shoe. The size 11 fit his wider foot best and here is what he had to say about them:
"The Chaco flip flops are fabulous. I blew out my reef flip flopss a while ago and have been wearing the Chacos ever since (I did not step on a pop top). The Chacos are comfy, sturdy and I love the bumpy pattern on the soles."

Cathy Beveridge
Seamlessly shifting between the tensions of competitive hockey and corporate malpractice in the oil and gas industry in Alberta, Beveridge's newest novel is a contemporary gem.
Over the years, Sean has grown to resent his father's perfectionism and interference in his hockey. He faces enough pressure dealing with the goaltending competition to make the Mustangs. However, he's determined to give it his best shot and do it his way, even if that doesn't satisfy his father. After all, his father isn't perfect. He's being charged with negligence following a fatal accident on one of his well sites. Is his father guilty? When Sean discovers that the dead man is actually the father of his prospective girlfriend, Laura, he decides to investigate the credence of his father's story. Sean's dilemma grows when he discovers that he alone may hold critical evidence in the case of his father's negligence. Alone, he must face the challanges of understanding his moral code and measuring his own potential.

Oh, hello there Internet. It's been a while. Two days, in fact. You see, I had Jury Duty. Except that I didn't. Because, apparently, when you get Jury Duty, you may not have ACTUAL JURY DUTY. You might just wait around for two days in a Chinatown Courtroom, avoiding eye contact with, let's face it, everyone. Which is what I did. And I'm so SAD. I wanted my 12 Angry Men moment! I wanted to fight for justice! I wanted to meet Atticus Finch! Instead, here are my accomplishments from Jury Duty, in no particular order. Continue reading

Wildlife Lessons Learned in Harlem Whilst Watching TV16 Aug
Tonight, Mazall and I happened upon The Edge, aka the ultimate bromance movie, written by David Mamet, starring Anthony Hopkins and the always-entertaining Alec Baldwin. In case you haven't seen it (though I'm pretty sure we were the last two people on Earth not to), the two men find themselves stranded in Canada and/or Alaska after birds attack their plane. Not only was the movie awesome, but it also taught us valuable lessons/skillz for surviving the wilderness in case we ever crash there in our private plane. They are as follows: Continue reading
Every Now and Then with Evan12 Jun
So, sometimes Claire and I have to work on things besides this blog. I know. Which is why we take certain liberties when it comes to our "content": farming it out to friends, making it up or, mainly, just cutting and pasting it from Gchat.
BUT EVAN HAS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT ANSWERING OUR FRIDAY QUESTIONS!!! My tv shows (PLURAL!) happen daily, Claire's magazine is weekly. Evan? His publication comes out once a month, if even. Plus, he only has to cover one subject–Science! That's like, the easiest one of all. The Earth is getting hot, Pluto's not a planet, Stephen Hawkings is smart cause he talks in a robot voice. Done and done. And yet, Friday after Friday, Evan lets us down by ignoring our questions and breaking the hearts of tens of twenties of our weblog readers. To add insult to injury, he casually informed us that the latest questions were "lame".
Now, in retrospect they were. Especially Claire's (after all, when I promised Evan better questions this week she was suspiciously silent). Let's take a look at what she asked a few weeks ago… Continue reading
Diversity Training: Movie Break!18 May

"BTW – I've decided that Anna Faris is playing you when the Drewpreme movie gets made. I was watching The House Bunny."

Why John Smoltz WHY?!31 Mar
For 20 years, John Smoltz pitched for the Atlanta Braves and no one else. He even debuted on my fifth birthday because he knew how much it would mean to me…later. You just don't find that kind of loyalty in the MLB anymore. And to prove it, when his shoulder fell off and his contract ended last year, Smoltz left Atlanta to sign with the second worst team ever. So much for happy endings.
I want to hate him. I NEED to hate him. But I just can't. Those eyes…that smile…that splitter!
Basically, Smoltz is doing everything I love doing: stealing money from the Red Sox, secretly visiting Jeff Francoeur the Braves clubhouse, and golfing with Tiger Woods. So I should be happy for him, right?
Why does my roommate watch such bad TV? I dunno. Let's ask her.25 Mar
Joining us today is my partner in all things domestic, Mazall. I love her, without knowing how, or when, or from where. But if I were to file a environmental hostility suit against her in a court of law, Exhibit A would be a simple log of her recently viewed TV shows and movies. This girl is ridic. Never in my life have I lived in such close proximity to multimedia madness. Intervention. Howard's End. Bleakhouse. Aristocrats (NOT the funny joke one, the Masterpiece Theatre one). True story: 30 minutes into this year's Superbowl, I rushed home only to find Mazall surrounded by candles in our dark living room watching Barry Lyndon. I shouldn't even give her a chance to explain, but I've worked in media long enough to know that crazy sells. Mazall's interview, after the jump…

Did I Start a Trend?
So I'm starting the 30 Day Shred February 1st but I'm also trying to figure out ways to get more exercise in day to day. I used to really enjoy hiking and with the Climb to Cure Cancer at the end of February, I'd like to incorporate some more of that into my weekly routine. I'd also like Hubby to come along with me. The Challenge? My girls. They're still pretty small. My oldest is 6 and she enjoys hiking so that's not really the concern. It's the little one. I think she's going to get bored with it fairly quickly. Those of you with smaller kids, how did you handle incorporating your kids into your active lifestyle? I mean...they're past the point where I can put them on the back of my own bicycle or in a baby bjourne and just go. I may just make them suck it up and go. LOL.
I feel a mental shift starting. For the last few weeks, I've been perfectly content sitting around, doing virtually nothing in regards to getting fit. But I'm starting to get a little restless...wanting to do more...wanting to feel the way I was feeling this time last year. Could this be motivation rearing its head? Could this be my head finally getting screwed on tight again? Could this be the start of getting my stuff together finally? At the very least, I know I'm getting 3 miles in this week, come hell or high water. So that feels good. I know a car wash is definitely in my future tonight. Perhaps a family walk is too? We shall see.

You did start a trend!
I have no idea how to start incorporating the boys into my more active lifestyle, to be honest. When I do the Wii Fit, they do it along with me and that's always a blast. But as for going on walks and when I do my elliptical, they just slow me down (horrible mother of the year!).
I think that is motivation rearing it's head. :)

My youngest are now 5 1/2, this past summer we started taking them bike riding with us. We have a tag-a-long bike & a trailer and they took turns on riding each. Hopefully this summer they will be strong enough to ride solo. We also hiked with them though only only on gravel trails since DH has foot issues. I still pile them into the bike trailer (it doubles as a stroller) occasionally to run. The extra 100 lbs really increases the intensity!

Over the years I have tried to get some exercise in with kiddos but as they moved out of the jog stroller it became sooooo challenging. Now we do "just dance" together on the Wii, they will ride their scooters or bikes while I try to walk...this don't last long with the little one but even 15 mins is better than nothing. We go on the trampoline together...again not my "normal" workout but if it 's between that and not getting to exercise at all I will take it. Friday night is movie night at my house so the kids & I watch a movie of their choice but i on walk on the treadmill while we are watching. We are all in the same room so they are happy mommy is watching the movie with them.

Organized sports has served our kids well for a dozen years, got then going around age 5 - 7 each, and now with all in high school or college they continue to reap the benefits of their sports involvement.
- January 25, 2012 at 9:01 PM
Panda - I think that you may be surprised at how much your girls like hiking! I also agree with another poster who said bike riding with a trailer is always good fun (I have one at my mom's house that you can have, if you like. I bought it at a garage sale before we bought our Schwinn). How about taking them to DV or Mountain Point and running the track together? Kids love to run and you can even make a game out of it, should they get bored (running backwards, hopping, etc). Bonus: You'll tire them out and have (hopefully) docile kids come bedtime. - Dez

Assalamualaikum WBT
aaaa honestly I miss my blog soooo muchhhhh.
somehow I'm trying to find some time to blog everything around me but end up I forgot about it.
well I think it is because of having many drama series in my hard disc so it was hard for me to deny from watching them.

I don't play games much, just the odd card or pool game. And frankly, I don't like to loose. Against a reasonably competent opponent in cards, I stand a reasonable chance of loosing. In pool where I am less competent, I only have the possiblity of luck going for me. But, I really hate playing against people who are not trying to kick my ass. Particularly in pool. It's condescending. It's insulting. If I suspect someone of padding their shots, I won't play them anymore. A run on the tables shows more respect than acting a missed shot. To me, that is. Perhaps I'm just a hard ass, but if you are going to handicap me do it upfront and I don't want one. How can you get better if people just mess around? And its so great to make those few shots, and make them on your own ability.
That's why I think the problem is not the incredible scores the Patriots are running up, but that they need a better PR department. People are ready to fault the Pats, vs think about it. Do you want a fake game? I mean really. I don't. I don't like blow outs but I really don't like seeing an elite team not perform well. I think the Redskins defense has some work to do. Even when Cassel came in for Brady it was like the Redskins defense was eating popcorn in the stands. And another thing. Belichick does not do things for grins and giggles. He's a topnotch coach and I doubt the score was the result of some personal snit. He is very task oriented, and I would suspect a reason. Was he trying to psyche the Colts out? Belichick loves an edge. Were there offensive or defensive plays or combos he wanted to try before this week?
Bottom line for me is, blow outs hurt but condescension is a pisser. I also copied the following from a blog..(forget which):
Note from the football blog to those consumed with loathing of the Patriots for their latest transgression; scoring too many points...what a despicable team Some other game scores from the past - •The 49ers beat Denver in the SB 55-10. They were called dominant. •The Bears beat the Pats 46-10. They were called dominant. •The Cowboys beat the Bills 52-17. They were called dominant. •The Giants beat the 49ers in the playoffs 49-3. They were called dominant. •Gibbs and his Redskins beat the Rams in the playoffs 51-7. They were called dominant. •The Bears won the title 73-0. They were called dominant. •The Pats win 52-7 and they receive criticism? Only from those with no historical perspective on the game. Thanks to source for posting this in football blog

Notes about life, family and things I notice as I try to seek God's will for my life...

my C-section experience...
So here's what happened...
If you read the last post, you'll know that we had agreed to have my water broken after I had been 3cm dilated and 100% effaced for several days. Liam was being measured at 4kilos (nearly 9lbs) but his head and shoulders were very large, so there was a fear of him getting much bigger. In fact, his head was already measured as the estimated 42 week size!! >.<
With this in mind we agreed to having my water broken early to progress things. They soon started me on Oxytocin to speed things up, and the contractions came very regularly. After nearly 8 hours of back labour I was dilated well, the contractions were on top of each other and yet the baby wouldn't turn and descend. We tried waiting, and I even got an epidural (that didn't relieve any pain!) but finally the doctor recommended a Ceasarian. He basically told us that we could just sit and wait with this pain, not knowing how long or even if the baby would turn and descend and still with no guarantee that he would fit, or we could do a C-section.
Ryan and I talked about it, and I feared the idea, but at the same time I feared injury to the baby or I more and I'll admit the pain was making it hard to focus. We decided to go for it and they wheeled me to the OR and slammed my bed into the doorway causing all the people in the hall and OR to just stop and stare at me ~ in the middle of a contraction! >.<
Once in the OR they began to prep me. They bound my arms and body down, and the anesthesiologist administered a stronger dose of the epidural to numb me. However, it still didn't work, I was still in pain, and I managed to get my arm free a few times to struggle. The doctor came in to begin and started with a test cut, at which I screamed! I suppose they didn't believe me that I was still in so much pain, I'm sure they assumed I just felt pressure. At that point the doctor decided to use a general anesthetic and they gassed me.
I recall them having to intubate me several times, as each time I'd gag up and spit out the tubes (I really was becoming a troublesome patient!). When I became to come to, the nurse was smacking my cheek and calling my name. She told me to wake up, to which I replied that I was awake I just couldn't control my eyes yet. She then asked me if I had a manicure. How odd, I thought at first, maybe she was just trying to get me to talk... then I understood as I began to control my eyelids better and saw that my fingertips had all turned blue.
Turns out there were a few complications. They had some difficulty with the bleeding, so they literally bound a sandbag to my body. I was also having trouble getting enough oxygen. The tube in my nose wasn't working well enough, so I decided to help things out by taking the tube to my mouth and inhaling. This helped a great deal and they soon wheeled me to the post-op recovery.
Waiting in the hall were Ryan, Jason, Eunji and her husband Dave. It had been quite a while longer than they expected, and they had only just heard that there was some trouble waking me up from the anesthetic. They all looked so relieved! Soon after they began to tell me about the baby, whom I had yet to see! Ryan made it into the OR just in time to cut the cord and be ushered out. The baby was big and loud, and perfect. He showed me a printed photo of him. I was told that because the baby was having some difficulties with his temperature that they couldn't bring him out of the nursery. At first I was a little upset, I mean, mothers dream of the first time holding their babies, right? But then I actually felt alright with it, as I was tired and already loved him so I didn't have any doubts about connecting ~ though I was a little bummed not to start breast feeding right away.
Some time after 10pm they finally prepared me to go up to my room. As they wheeled me past the nursery, the nurse held up the baby in the window for me to see. All the others in the hall stopped to look and coo and congratulate us. Until now, the baby had no name but I looked up at him and saw that he was a trouble-maker from day one. That's when we decided on the name William ~ our little Liam.
So, nothing about this pregnancy went to plan. The timing, the sickness, the pain and discomfort and finally the labour and delivery. You'd think I'd have a negative opinion after all of that, and yet I'm so hopped up on mommy hormones I couldn't care less. My baby is perfect and we are both healthy. Praise God, He is good!

On Tuesday, Wood Buffalo council very briefly discussed the ongoing situation – approving the first step in changing the designation of their boundary, in Draper.
A few residents crowded into the council chambers eager to give their opinion on the matter but we're told they could only speak at an upcoming public hearing scheduled for May 8.
VP of Operations Brad Friesen tells Fort McMurray News the next month will be the most nervous time of his life.
"We had 15,000 people sign our petition last year, so we definitely have the public's support – I guess we'll see what happens between now and then and see what we can rally for council and mayor."
Back in September of 2016, Dunvegan was handed a stop-work order which was appealed - allowing them to continue operations.
The Draper area has two land use designations within its boundaries: Country Residential and Small Holdings. The intent of these designations is to provide a larger lot while maintaining a quiet, rural atmosphere.
Dunvegan's property was under 'small holdings' and because of this, they were told they had unauthorized farm animals, unauthorized commercial landscaping, and unauthorized sale of goods – with Friesen saying multiple times they had permits for.
Last March, the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board decided that Dunvegan could continue operations but needed to get new applications within one year.
Council will get the last say as they will vote on whether Friesen's amendment application will move forward.
"If they vote it all down, the doors on the front end will close, the greenhouse might be open – the giftware and Christmas Wonderland, those types of things, will be all finished," said Friesen.
Meanwhile, Mayor Don Scott is encouraging anybody interested in speaking about the situation to come to next month's public hearing.
"We know it's an important topic in the community, the information we're going to be considering as part of our decision is the information that's presented to council as part of the public debate."
Friesen adds if they're no longer allowed to sell goods, they could lose around 25 per cent of their retail operations.
Council Honouring Humboldt Victims
To start their meeting, council held a moment of silence to honour the 15 lives lost in last week's crash in Saskatchewan.

They also wore jerseys as another sign of support for everyone impacted by the tragedy.
"People of Canada came to us when we went through a tragedy in our region and we feel very connected to the people of Humboldt," added Scott.
He says they've also sent a letter to Humboldt's mayor and the Broncos organization highlighting their support for the community.

(Adds lawyer comment, details)
By Kirstin Ridley
LONDON, March 2 (Reuters) - Three former senior Tesco executives look set to face a London jury for a second time over 250 million pound ($345 million) accounting scandal after their first trial was called off shortly before the jury was due to consider its verdict.
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO), which is prosecuting the case, said on Friday it had written to the court to seek a retrial of former finance director Carl Rogberg, former managing director of Tesco UK Christopher Bush, and former UK food commercial director John Scouler.
In 2016 the SFO charged the men each with one count of fraud by abuse of position and one count of false accounting. The men denied the charges, but the original trial was halted in February after Rogberg suffered a heart attack.
Rogberg's lawyer Neil O'May, of Norton Rose Fulbright, said his client was "extremely disappointed" by the decision. Rogberg had wanted the previous jury to be able to reach its verdict and had been shocked when that trial was abandoned, O'May said.
"Mr Rogberg will now continue to fight these allegations to prove his innocence," he added. Rogberg is recovering at home following quadruple heart bypass surgery.
Richard Sallybanks of BCL Solicitors, who is representing Scouler, declined to comment. A representative for Bush had no immediate comment.
The SFO prosecution of the three men was launched after Tesco, Britain's largest retailer, told the stock market in September 2014 that its profit forecast had been overstated by 250 million pounds, mainly due to booking commercial deals with suppliers early.
The disclosure wiped 2.0 billion pounds off its market value and plunged the company into the worst crisis in its near 100-year history.

"No two inches of any picture should be treated the same. What always drew me to painting was the contrast between rough and smooth, harsh and subtle. That is where beauty is. I hope to draw the viewer in, to see the world a moment in the way I do."
The passion Leo Mancini-Hresko has for painting can be heard through his description of the joy and beauty in painting. Originally from Boston, Mancini-Hresko came to Florence through a study abroad program at the Art Institute. His year abroad completely changed the direction of his life- after studying in the Renaissance city through his school, he decided to drop out and enroll in the Florence Academy for the Arts.
Today Leo teaches for the Academy as well as offering private lessons at his studio in Florence. He has exhibited throughout the United States and Europe, including exhibitions in Florence, London, Santa Fe, Nantucket, Dublin, and New York.

Victoria Jelinek: the pregnancy diaries
Be the change you wish to see in the world. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
One of the reasons I was reluctant to have a child was because I worried about the state of the world. My husband told me these worries were a rationalisation for my greater concerns like my not wanting to forfeit naps.
He argued that negative global events are precisely the reason that thoughtful individuals should have children.
Toddler tied to chair by teacher
A teacher in Narbonne has been accused of tying a three-year-old to his chair as a punishment for being 'silly and restless' according to Le Parisien newspaper.
The child's mother was made aware of the incident by the parents of another child who told them what had happened. According to the mother's account, the teacher went ahead even though the boy was crying and begging her not to.
However the teacher, a supply teacher with twenty years experience, denies the incident and says she only threatened the child. Another teacher has backed her up.
Nevertheless, the teacher has been withdrawn from the school while police and education authorities investigate. The Narbonne public prosecutor's office says it is taking the allegation extremely seriously.

Very Clean and Intuitive program.More than what was anticipated.Thank youGilles Laframboise
i cannot assign which source to be cut first as in actual i prefer to use the leftover material rather than a new material
This software is exactly what I was looking for. I am truly impressed by its versatility and yet simplicity.
This programme was extremely helpful to us when calculating the amount of aluminium tubes needed to build our experimental music installation for an important event taking place in the Summer.
I think this program is a good one. But I just wish that the limitations for this free stuff were a bit higher for a user to really appreciate it. One big improvement you can do is make it able to analyze for different set of materials in the same run. Another thing is that the column title "size" should actually be "size/length". This confused me a bit.
We have try out the Stock Cutter program, it has some good features but not quite what we are looking for, we need a program that can give suggested bar length for cutting as well.

Anyway, the long and short of the story is that I came across a video once again about "How do you know someone is the one"
Jefferson Bethke explains it a little more here.
He clarifies that there is no such thing as "The One" because we end up putting too much pressure on the other person to be perfect when we should be putting Christ first and learning to show love, grace, mercy and forgiveness to the other person plus holding people in high standards might cause us to miss the good, godly people surrounding us.
In a nutshell, WE ARE FREE TO CHOOSE WHO WE WANT and it is important to be transparent in the process and trust God to enable us to make the right choice.
Ps: We still need to exercise patience because God always knows Best!

Writing Ideas
1. "Baedekers" were 19th-century travel guides; Loy's poem plays with their function by proclaiming itself a travel guide to the moon. Write a poem that is a "guide" to an unusual, unexpected place.
2. Loy's diction in "Lunar Baedeker" is notably difficult, even arch. Try a "translation" of the poem into different registers of English—look up synonyms, or replace words or phrases with contemporary formulations.
3. "Lunar Baedeker" describes a dissolute urban landscape; Jessica Bernstein, in her lively poem guide, believes it also might describe the experience of going to the movies. Think about cities you have been to, or cities you have seen in movies. Write a poem that describes both the cityscape and the experience of being there (or watching it on screen). Try, like Loy, to use words that are both descriptive and evaluative.
4. The poem is packed with alliteration: try writing a poem that uses similar effects the majority of the time.
Discussion Questions
1. "Lunar Baedeker" is written in very short lines, sometimes just a single word. Why did Loy choose to use such short lines? Notice the lines that are just a single word—what are the words and why might Loy have isolated them in this way?
2. What is the narrator's feeling about the place she's describing? Is she neutral, angry, excited, disgusted? What do you notice about the tone of this poem? What elements of the poem itself—word choice, line breaks—help you understand its tone?
3. Near the end of "Lunar Baedeker" some quoted language appears. Where do you think it comes from? Why did Loy include it? What does putting something in quotation marks do to the poem, and to your experience of reading the poem?
Teaching Tips
1. Mina Loy was an artist as well as a poet. Read the poem a few times aloud to your class, or have each student read it aloud in a circle. Then have them illustrate Loy's "Lunar Baedeker," perhaps stanza by stanza. What visual cues does the poem itself contain? Ask students to think about the mood of the place as they illustrate the poem, as well as its sights.
2. Like much of Loy's poetry, "Lunar Baedeker" is written in an aggressively "high" diction. Perhaps to prepare for the translation prompt, have students look up all the words they don't know in the poem. Why did Loy choose to use such difficult words? What is the effect of using a purposefully complex vocabulary in poems? Bring in some examples of descriptive or place poems written in an easy, accessible style ("Between Walls" by William Carlos Williams, for example). Compare and contrast with Loy's poem: why choose difficult words over easy ones? What does Loy's poem show us about language that Williams's, for example, might not?

|Voices of the Arctic
In December, I was invited to check out the new exhibit at the Museum of Nature, Voices of the Arctic, for Kids in the Capital (read my review here). Just for the holidays, a huge floor map of the Arctic was on display. Now it's traveling around the country, spending three weeks at a time at schools teaching kids about the area.
|The huge Arctic floor map.

HUNTINGTON BEACH — A complete team effort sparked the Orange Coast College women's volleyball team to its biggest win of the season in its first true test Friday, in a 25-18, 25-21, 25-23 statement victory at Golden West College.
The Pirates' bounty for plundering the Rustlers in three straight games to finish off the first half of Orange Empire Conference play? OCC is all alone in first place atop the conference at 7-0 (13-0 overall), extending its streak of sets won to 20 that dates to Sept. 28 against Fullerton. The Pirates have dropped just two sets this season. They are ranked No. 2 in the state, with Golden West ranked seventh.
"We don't look at it that way," Orange Coast College head coach Chuck Cutenese said of whether he thought it was a statement win. "We just wanted to get better and come away with a win ... but it's huge. We knew this was going to be a big match. [The Pirates] knew this was going to be a big match. It was everything a crosstown rivalry's supposed to be."

Based on Uzi's upcoming new book:
Have you ever given advice and been told "shut up" or "who asked you?"
Or made a suggestion and gotten back resentment instead of gratitude?
Good advice can be a valuable gift that we offer people. Yet, sometimes in spite of our best intentions, our feedback is not appreciated, and is sometimes even resented. The ability to offer input in a positive and constructive way is an art.
I have experienced all this up close. I have given people advice, intending to be helpful, and seen how it resulted in failed conversations and ruptured relationships. I have also been on the receiving end, getting advice I didn't want and feeling resentful about it. I have seen relationships I had with some people suffer because of the way they gave advice.
In this tele-course you will discover how to give advice. You will learn how to listen, how to make sure your advice is welcome, how to offer it so that people feel grateful, how to check that it is useful, and when not to offer advice at all.
The result will be that you will give less advice, and the advice you do give advice will be appreciated, whether or not people follow your ideas. In short, you will know "how to give advice and get back gratitude and not attitude."
Registration Information
Dates: 5 Tuesdays, Feb 19-March 19

- How to identify exceptions
- When not to give advice
- 2 key mistakes to avoid
- Underlying approach of dignity, respect and consideration for the other
This course covers around two thirds of the material of the Communicating with Compassion course. How is this Advice course different? This course:
- Explores the 5 skills of giving advice in much more depth
- Spends much less time on the skills of listening
- Is appropriate for all situations, and not only when emotions are present
- Is a seminar and not a mastery class: there will be time for questions but it does not include practice and coaching
Attend the first session as my gift and see if it is right for you.
Actually, I don't guarantee satisfaction; I guarantee exceptional value: "If after completing the course you do not believe that you received exceptional value for the time and tuition you invested, tell me what was not satisfactory in the course and I will refund your tuition."

The Bush Administration has agreed to support a Farm Bill that spends $10 billion above baseline provided reforms of farm programs are included. They have also indicated a willingness to accept a cap of Adjusted Gross Income at $500,000 instead of the $200,000 they had demanded up to now.
These as well as other issues were outlined in a document sent from the White House to Congress entitled "Parameters of a Successful Farm Bill." While House Ag Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, D-Minn., is pleased that the administration has softened their stance and plans to look at their suggestions, he says the White House will not dictate what the Farm Bill will be.
With time growing shorter and some progress toward bringing the two sides together being made, Peterson has said a one-month extension of the current Farm Bill is likely. That is a reversal from his position earlier this year that he would not support any extension of the 2002 Farm Bill.

The reason for that I haven´t posted anything here is that I´ve had too much to do. It has almost been bedtime when I get home from school at least that is what it feels like. Apart from the not enough sleep fact I haven´t really felt good today. Which means I have been walking around in my pyjamas all day and I don´t know if I´m allowed to go to school tomorrow. Me and dad will decide if I can go or not in the morning. I´ll promise to try to get better!

A prominent Russian businessman, Sabtai Kalmanovici, was killed Monday in Moscow with an automatic weapon, the Prosecutor's investigation committee announced in a press release, according to AFP, and published by NewsIn. Kalmanovici was killed at around 17.00 local time, when unknown persons opened fire at his car on a street in Moscow.
After the incident, the car passenger died instantly and the driver was taken to a hospital severely wounded', said the investigation committee.
Kalmanovici was born in Lithuania in 1949, and in 1971 he emigrated with his parents in Israel. He was a prosperous businessman, and he was well known in Russia for organizing the Russian tours for big international stars like Michael Jackson, Liza Minelli and Jose Careras, according to ITAR-TASS agency.

So, while Greg Biffle's business manager is coordinating a photo shoot and gathering the last of the content we'll need, we've begun organizing the sitemap. This blue print of sorts allows us to be clear on the structure of the site before we begin design. It also allows for the client to have an outline of the final content we'll need.
We work hard to receive content as soon as possible. This helps our designers visually tell a story and understand how much text and/or photos will be on a page. Since Union (formerly Studiobanks) is known for very clean and easy navigation, it's important we know what we are navigating before we begin the design.
One of the goals of the Greg Biffle site is to show the personal side of Greg—what he's up to when he's not on the track. One of the ways to accomplish this is to show Greg in his street clothes versus his NASCAR uniform. We're looking forward to being at the photo shoot in a couple weeks. Should be fun.

Hey guys!
Today I'm sharing some moments from one of the hang outs that made my last Christmas holiday like I promised in my last post.
One of my friends from way back put the hang out together. It was such a beautiful experience as I got to meet and hang out with some really cool new people. And the boat ride, oh the boat ride (I hope boat is the correct name for it 'cause google didn't help much with differentiating between a canoe and a boat so I'll just go with the latter). It was my first time on a boat and it was scary. I am still scared as I type this almost three weeks later. Yes, I'm such a big baby and no, I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Okay, for those who don't know, Tarkwa Bay is quiet Island beach on the shores of Lagos. It is beautiful, serene and the perfect place to get away from it all which is a total necessity for anyone who experiences the day to day stresses of living in Lagos. It is also extremely budget friendly; you only need some cash for your boat ride (about N400 per person) and to pay for your beach chair/shade rental (solely dependent on your bargaining abilities). I must warn you though, if you're planning to go to Tarkwa bay, take your food and drinks along with you like we did because I didn't catch a whiff of any food or drink vendors. Not even beach suya *sobs*. But I guess that's one of the reasons why the place has remained so serene and unspoiled by too many developments like many other beaches in Lagos. You can learn more about Tarkwa Bay here
Here's why I am inappropriately dressed for a beach outing: You see, I don't know how to swim and I thought (in my infinite smartness) that if I wore something beach-inappropriate, I'd be discouraged from going too close to the water. So I decided to wear this dress and I made it a tiny bit beach-friendly by tying it by the side. That plan, as I came to learn, didn't work as the members of my group, spearheaded by a certain young man (Foluso, I haven't forgiven you), saw to it that everyone was fully immersed in salt water.
We forgot to take any games or music players along but we just had fun gisting, taking pictures swimming (f0r those who were interested), being mischievous and getting to know one another.
The highlights of the day for me were:
- This market-woman raffia hat I bought on the beach for just N200. We all took turns wearing it and taking pictures. It was a blast!
- Catching up with my friend Moyin whom I hadn't seen in a long while. She was my photographer of the day and I gave her plenty trouble. *Virtual-hugging her into oblivion*
- These parked boats I found and thought "bam! time to sexy up". I took way too many of these photos than I care to admit.
- This man who came to play us an entire Bob Marley album. I rasta-danced. My feet hurt. It didn't stop me.
- The awesome people I met and got to hang out with
I really wish we'd do it again sometime soon.
Thank you so much for reading :). This post had been sitting in my drafts folder for way too long.

While the Snowdens and Zahra are no strangers to winning at the highest level, Russian Revolution's win on Saturday in the Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield was their first together.
Sent off the $4.60 favourite and after racing wide, Russian Revolution dug in the final 300m to defeat Snitty Kitty ($9) by a half-neck, with Hellbent ($16) a short half-head away third.
Beginning in 2008, the Snowdens ran a two-state stable in Sydney and Melbourne when training for Darley Stud, which then became known as Godolphin in 2014.
Zahra was the Snowdens main rider in Melbourne, but would often be replaced by Darley's retained jockey Kerrin McEvoy when the big Group One races came around.
"It's terrific to get a Group One with Mark," Paul Snowden said.
"He was a part of my career down here for a little while through the Darley years but with Kerrin (McEvoy) he got replaced quite a lot of time when he could have been winning Group One's in his own right."
Russian Revolution is now a dual Group One winner at 1100m, having taken out last year's Galaxy at Rosehill.
Snowden is hopeful connections will delay the four-year-old's stud career further and allow him to race on.
"I think he's still improving," Snowden said.
"The older he's getting, the better he's getting.
"He was there to get knocked off today with the work he did early and mid-race, but the fact is he stuck it out.
"We'll have a meeting in the next few days.
"There's the William Reid (at Moonee Valley) down here or we could send him up north.
"He's not a one-hit wonder and there's certainly races around for him."
Zahra said Russian Revolution had to dig deep to win after being forced to race wide without cover.
"It was a dog fight over the last 100 metres between me and Bons Away and Snitty Kitty and Hellbent and luckily we were just too strong," Zahra said.
"It's real pleasing to win for them.
"It's really pleasing that someone that's supported you throughout your career, you can win a Group One with them."

One left Boston, one left finance, and one put off retirement from the oil industry: Meet the men who made career 180s to shoot off Texas' newest star, Revolver Brewing.
By Scott Jarrett
A mid-winter Texas sunset flashes off of Revolver Brewing's fermenting vessels as master brewer Grant Wood checks in on his latest creations, including Blood and Honey, a wildly popular unfiltered wheat beer. After 16 successful years at Boston Brewing Co., Wood is back home, creating beers in an enormous building that resembles a chicken coop just outside Granbury, Texas, 35 miles southwest of Fort Worth.
"I missed seeing the horizon in the northeast," Wood says. "It's nice. Out here, you can stretch your legs."
In 2011, Wood came across an ad posted by father and son Ron and Rhett Keisler, looking for someone to run their new brewery. Ron, a geologist, had retired after 30 years with Marathon Oil, while Rhett had had enough of corporate finance.
"My dad and I figured out early that we didn't know what the hell we were doing," says Rhett, adjusting his Open Road hat, akin to what famous lawmen of the early '60s wore. "I tried brewing once; they called it Rhett's Neglected Ale." So, the father-son team was on the hunt for someone with a little experience.
Wood agreed to meet Rhett at The Ginger Man in Manhattan.
"I wore a suit and tie, and he was sort of dressed down," Wood says. "It was a great meeting. We had a few beers and talked and talked about our vision of good beer. Then after some sleepless nights and long talks with my wife, I decided to take a leap of faith."
Ron, 66, chuckles about Wood: "He probably still wonders how he got mixed up with two scoundrels like us."
Rhett, 43, also shakes his head about convincing him to move to Texas. "I thought I had ruined his life.
After 18 years in corporate finance and long winters in Toronto, Rhett found himself wanting to get off the "business treadmill." He moved back to Granbury in 2009. He and his father went to the altar with several gas and oil field projects, but none of them stuck. Finally, Rhett showed his father research on the Texas craft beer market.
"My dad's the guy who loves to tell you that something is a bad idea," Rhett says. "He's the guy that when you're growin' up says that you need to learn a trade—be a doctor, a lawyer, a businessman—starting a brewery did not fall into any of those categories."
Surprisingly, his father thought he was onto something. Plus, Ron recognized that he needed something to do with his retirement.
"I'm terrible at golf," he says. "'Hell,' I thought, 'I might as well!' I could die sitting in a rocking chair or get up and do something. I got more sweat than money."
Drawing country water from an aquifer 400 feet below the earth, the trio began brewing in 2011 and kegged their first beer in 2012.
"The water just had this smoothness to it; we knew that was a good start," says Rhett.
While settling into their new digs, a friendly neighbor welcomed them with a five-gallon bucket of solidified honey. Wood was delighted.
"It had a reddish tint to it and a beautiful fruity, floral aroma that took me back to a blood orange sorbet I made in Boston once. People raved about it. I wondered how I could create a beer with this honey, something with layers of complexity," he says.
Rhett calls Blood and Honey a variety of nicknames: "the beast," "the freight train," "number one."
He wasn't quite sure how the beer would be perceived in these parts: "You love your own children, but you don't know how other people are going to feel about them."
He quickly learned at the Texas Beer Fest in Irving, Texas, which just happened to be his hometown.
"It went from people not knowing who we were to having a line 50 deep," says Rhett.
Scooter Hendon, who blogs at TexasBrews.org, was in that queue; he calls Blood and Honey a "sensation."
"It's easy to drink, but has a richness to it," he says. "It's that citrus balance between sweet and dry; it's easy for a beer like that to become too sweet."
Among other beers, Revolver also concocts Sidewinder, a Southwest pale ale; Mullet Cutter, an English-style double IPA; and Mother's Little Fracker, a stout that employee Dan Good boisterously proclaims, "You don't have to brush after."
All three do a little bit of everything around Revolver. For Wood, a renewed physicality was one of the biggest changes: He suddenly found himself kegging and dragging hoses; combined with Texas' sweltering heat, he lost 15 pounds. Ron animates the daily grind with old-school Texas wisdom; phrases like, "Don't worry about the mule, just load the wagon."
On a Saturday afternoon shortly before Christmas, Revolver opens the large doors to its brew house, where pallets of bottles stacked 25 feet high create a wind barrier while broken pallet shards fuel open-pit fires. A few hundred people enjoy music, food and beer—a modest turnout closing out an extraordinary first year.
Rick Chapman, a local pilot, marvels at what he proudly calls his local brewery. "They don't hop the crap out of the beer. These guys have managed to capture a real flavor."
Rhett says people often want to know what beers to expect next. "We make it a point not to unveil what we're up to—not because we are competitive, just because we think it's fun to keep that close to the chest," he says.
Currently brewing 9,000 barrels annually, Revolver will expand, says Rhett, but he cautions that growth in and of itself is not always good. "I have no interest in becoming the next Budweiser."
Like his father, he'll lean on an aphorism or two every now and then.
"Stick to your knitting," he says with a smile. "That's what I believe. We just want to continue to push ourselves to make great-tasting liquid. If people say, 'These guys really care about their beer and make a great product,' that's all I need."

I am rather pleased with this! It's from Lucinda Guy's book of children's knits, And So To Bed. I meant to make all kinds of things for actual children from this book - but ended up making this for myself and my Lady Friend. It was quite labour-intensive but it's exactly the right size. The buttons are second hand - or, I should say, vintage - from a charity shop. The whole thing is basically oddments. Lovely!
Finally nearing the end of Alan Hollinghurst's The Stranger's Child. This has been a fantastic read: a country-house novel, in the wake of Brideshead Revisited. The house, Corley Court, and the lives of those who inhabit it have been richly detailed across the decades. Each strand of the story is beautifully told and his characters are minutely observed. His wry tone stops the narrative ever becoming stuffy.There are great observations on everyday situations - the etiquette and mild competitiveness of being in line for the loo at a party, for example. It struck me that he often writes about 'outsider' types and that Paul Bryant is rather like Nick of The Line of Beauty. It's a testament to the quality of his writing that this book has only ever been a delicious pleasure, never a drudge. Next on the list: Jeffrey Eugenides' The Marriage Plot.

This is my TRH Palma Nova review. The hotel is also known as TRH Magaluf. I thought it might be worth adding this as sometimes people get it confused.
First off this hotel is one for the party goers. Stag and hen parties flock to this hotel in numbers and return at the late hours of the morning, 6 – 7am is pretty standard. So with that in mind, if you are a family, I would recommend that you find another place to stay.
I stayed for 4 days at the TRH Palma Nova in June, 2014 for a stag party.
TRH Palm Nova Location
The hotel is situated at the top of a fairly steep hill, which makes walking up and down it quite the effort, especially if the sun is out in full force. It also ensues hilarity when trying to walk back to the hotel after you've had one too many to drink. Don't let this put you off too much, unless you've had an absolute skin full, then you should get your friends to help walk you back. Don't want to fall over backwards and do some damage!
Despite the hill, the hotel is located very close to the strip. Turn right as you exit the hotel and then walk down the street for about 200 meters and on the next left is the strip. Which is like a ghost town during the day, but comes to life later on in the evening.
Overall, location wise it's in a good place, close to the strip and not too far from the beach either. (To get to the beach, there are a very long set of steps on the left hand side of the street, going down just before the left turn to the strip). I've deducted marks for the hill however. 3.5/5 stars
The Hotel
Before I get into the nitty gritty about the hotel, I'd like to express that I honestly believe the hotel to be a 2 star hotel at best. It's listed as a 3 star, but I'll explain why I think otherwise.
First impressions upon walking into the reception are quite good, it's spacious and is decorated quite well also. You can see down to the pool which was a good size and is well situated to catch some rays. There is also loud music playing, which was also quite good – or at least I thought!
Things started to go downhill from there. The rooms were very basic, the beds were uncomfortable and the kitchen area was in serious need of repair. Drawers were missing the bottom section, so you couldn't actually store anything in them. Cupboard doors were hanging off their hinges and some of the sockets had their wires exposed.
The room did have some redeeming features however. The bathroom was decent, plenty of space and the shower was also good. It maintained a steady temperature throughout the day. Normally you spend an eternity getting the temperature just right only for the hot water to go cold after a few minutes! No such problems here however.
Room service only happened once in the 4 days I stayed there. The only thing that I noticed that had been restocked was the toilet roll. The beds were left unmade, the floor messy and the same towels were present throughout my stay.
Coming back to the loud music by the pool. After the first night I found out that the music plays from around 7am to 11pm, so if you want a lie in to nurse the hangover, you better be a heavy sleeper otherwise you're getting woke up by Iggy Azalea (That song was played so many times!). On the plus side, if you've only just come in at 7am, you've got 24 hour music on tap!
If you are like me and came home at a modest time of around 4am, you are still going to be hard pushed to get some sleep as people are walking around the hotel complex drunk and making lots of noise. A popular thing for them was to ring the annoyingly loud door bells which did a great job at waking you up.
The aftermath of the previous nights partying could be seen in the hotel. There were fast food containers and food left all over the place and some of the food was even smeared across the walls. A few doors down I walked past a lad who was fast asleep on the floor with his phone and wallet by his side. There was no doubt that he had a good night!
Overall, I'd give the hotel 2/5 stars. Pretty rough.
Hotel WiFi
As far as I'm aware, to use the WiFi you needed to pay for it at the hotel reception. I think it was €6 for 12 hours and you could only use it by the pool or in the reception. Unless your room is close to the reception, you can forget about connecting to it.
Instead you should venture outside the hotel to the Oasis bar which is directly opposite where they supply free WiFi, a pool table and food.
Final Thoughts
Bottom line, if you are going as a stag or hen party and you are just after a bed and a pool. The TRH Palma Nova is a good bet, despite all of it short comings. If you are a family or someone who isn't into the 24 hour drinking and partying scene, then you should definitely seek somewhere else to stay. You just won't enjoy yourself.

If you want to live for a long time, you have to eat well. Good nutrition not only means strong bones and muscles, but it also means good skin, nails and hair too! Consider this advice and put yourself on the road to a healthy life.
The stealthy way is by putting more nutritious items when cooking your normal food. If you cook for picky eaters in your household, this will come in handy because you can slip those ingredients with a high nutritional value into any food that you cook or prepare. An example would be to add some vitamins and minerals into a product that normally has little nutritional value. When you make an unhealthy blender drink, add a little fortified milk powder, or put a few white beans in your next cake recipe. These types of recipes add nutrition without subtracting from the appeal.
Carefully inspect food labels to determine the nutrition facts. Even when something is labeled "reduced-fat", it might be high in sugar, salt, or other unhealthy ingredients. Don't use highly processed foods when losing weight. Foods that are less processed and contain fewer additives have shorter ingredient lists that the average person can understand. Avoid buying foods with a lot of artificial ingredients listed on their label.
You should bring your own food to work or to school if you want to lose weight. When you pack your lunch, you will not have to wonder what's in your food, and you'll save money too. In just a few moments you can pack and freeze lunches for an entire week.
Take a good, high-quality multi-vitamin daily for optimum nutrition. This is effective because, whilst it's much better to get your vitamins and minerals from natural food sources, having the 'insurance' of a multi-vitamin means that, if for whatever reason at some point you don't get enough of some vitamin from your normal diet, you're still covered.
When choosing a diet, be sure it provides proper nutrition, and make sure you eat around 8oz. of lean meat daily. This will ensure you receive the necessary protein and iron your body needs. Great choices include bison, venison or any other sort of lean meat.
Every healthy diet includes a breakfast. Breakfast is truly the most vital meal in a day, because it supplies you with the necessary nutrients you need and it also gives you a boost in your metabolism.
Take a multivitamin to supplement your new healthy diet. That is important because the multivitamin acts as insurance of sorts in case you don't eat the proper nutrition, even though it's generally better to eat your minerals and vitamins from the food you eat.
People who are knowledgeable with regard to nutrition know that they should include as few milled grains as possible in their diets. The hulls or husks of these grains contain most of the fiber and nutrients, so eliminating them makes the product less nutritious. It really doesn't make a lot of sense to eat processed grains, and then add fiber or wheat germ to your diet. No, it is better just to eat the grains which are whole.
Be sure to eat your broccoli. A single stalk of broccoli contains more than enough vitamin K for one day. Plus it contains enough vitamin C to last you for two days. These nutrients can aid in building strong bones and may help decrease the chance that certain cancers will develop. To maximize the nutritional value, prepare broccoli in the steamer rather than boiling or microwaving.
Dark Chocolate
Canned salmon is a terrific alternative to routine meals. Canned salmon is a great food choice because it is high in essential minerals and low in nasties, including sugar and fat. Try to aim for variety in your diet, as this provides maximum enjoyment of your food.
Choose dark chocolate over milk or white chocolate. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, which lower blood pressure to normal levels. Dark chocolate can improve your overall cholesterol level if you eat it over time. Make certain you select chocolate containing no less than 70% cocoa to reap the most benefits. Although it can help your cholesterol, too much can have a negative effect so don't eat too much.
One good way to improve your nutritional intake is to avoid white flour. Use healthier whole wheat flour instead. Whole wheat flour is full of fiber and nutrients, while white flour is full of empty calories.
To protect your heart you need low-fat and high protein choices. Chicken and turkey are two popular sources of protein. Poultry should be baked, boiled, roasted or broiled, and never fried. White meat is typically more healthy than dark meat.
Don't think that taking tons of vitamin supplements makes you healthier. As their name suggests, supplements should be used to bolster a healthy diet. You shouldn't take more than a single multivitamin each day. You need to focus on eating healthier instead of leaning on a single pill.
Eat foods rich in vitamin B6 if you want to reduce the risk of depression. Vitamin B6 keeps serotonin levels stable. Lack of serotonin is what usually causes depression. Chicken breast, asparagus and wheat germ all have a lot of vitamin B6. It's even more crucial to have lots of B6 in the winter months.
Another essential nutrient is a B vitamin called pantothenic acid. It keeps the metabolic process running. It is also needed for creating important biological compounds and enzyme activity. A good source to get pantothecic acid would be in meats and whole grains.
To maintain good nutrition, you must eat in a balanced way. Your body requires vitamins, miners, essential amino acids, and essential fatty acids to function at its optimal level. While you can find the nutrients in certain supplements, it's better to get them from food.
Buy lots of frozen vegetables for your freezer so that you always have some on hand. They thaw quickly and can be tossed in with meat dishes or served as a healthy side. Since they are frozen, you need not worry they will spoil before you eat them.
Vegetables of all types, even canned vegetables, are great for your health. They fill you up and contain vitamins and minerals that you can't go without. Be sure to eat several servings each day. You can include them in a fresh salad, or you can make a tasty pot of vegetable soup.
Skip adding salt when you boil water. Though water my boil quicker when there is salt in it, your foods will gain more sodium in the process. Salt is not necessary, so do not add it, and wait the few extra minutes it takes the water to boil.
Saturated Fat
Be sure to use fresh beets, rather than canned ones. Fresh beets contain a ton of fiber and minerals, but the canned variety contain lots of salt. Steam up the leafy greens and add those roots to your salads.
Do not eat snacks that have a lot of saturated fat. These foods include potato chips and fries which are packed with vegetable oil. Some oils can contain even more saturated fat than is in animal products. Saturated fat is the unhealthy kind of fat that leads to packing on excess pounds. Products that claim to not have cholesterol can still increase your body's blood cholesterol.
Raw vegetables are healthy, smart snacks. The fiber in them helps you feel full and can help you satisfy your hunger pangs. They can be just as easy to stow away and get ready as processed junk foods. They are cleaner and easier to deal with than processed junk food. Raw vegetables make a great between-meal snack.
Restore your hair by consuming food that has zinc, folic acid and lean proteins. Your hair consists of keratin, which is an element within protein. Nutrients like folic acid and zinc help to create strong, glossy locks. Avocados, legumes and seafood can all help you add those nutrients to your daily diet.
Use sweet potatoes instead of potatoes to get that starchy, comforting flavor without all the carbohydrates. You can make mashed potatoes or french fries from them. Just serve them with light butter and a little brown sugar. Where potatoes can increase inflammation in the body, sweet potatoes work as an anti-inflammatory.
You can make baking recipes more nutritionally beneficial by changing out half of the amount of white flour they require with whole wheat. It will help keep the texture light, while adding nutritional value. You can also replace half the shortening required with applesauce.
Good nutrition is important for staying physically and mentally healthy. When you do not have the right vitamins you may become lethargic and depressed. Eating a nutritious diet is important for keeping your body and your mind healthy.
One simple way to improve your general nutrition is to get rid of all the junk food that is in your kitchen and pantry. This includes cookies, chips, candy and soda. Compensate for them with beneficial snacks, such as low-fat popcorn, vegetables that are fresh or frozen, canned beans and diced tomatoes, whole grain items and other healthy foods.
Eat cauliflower, but eliminate other white foods. Cutting down on white foods is an extremely smart step to take from a nutritional standpoint. It will eradicate sugars and starch from your daily diet. These foods are often calorie-rich and can make you feel heavy or bloated.
The best way to ensure proper nutrition is to follow this rule: most of your meal should consist of fruits and vegetables along with a 6 oz. portion of protein and a very small amount of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are important for energy production, but too much can cause weight gain. If you eat the fruits, veggies and proteins first, you will have fewer cravings for large quantities of carbs.
If you have had problems with irregularity, adding more fruit to your diet will help. Fruit and vegetables are a great source of fiber.
Uncooked Foods
The cornerstone to good nutrition is based on the number five. Your should eat five servings of vegetables and fruits daily. It's less intimidating when you realize that a serving actually isn't that much. For example, a half-cup of most fruits is considered a serving.
A balanced diet should include both cooked and uncooked dishes. Uncooked foods should make up at least one-third of your total food consumption. Uncooked foods have a higher nutritional content. Fruits and vegetables are the way to go.
Avoid eating sugar-rich cereals for breakfast. Heavily-sweetened cereals are loaded with more than sugar; they also have preservatives, unhealthy chemicals, and even, in some cases, trans fats. Wholesome Oatmeal has not only fiber but soluble (cholesterol lowering) fiber and therefore is a superior choice to the refined and sweetened cereals that come in a box.
Try substituting healthier alternatives for standard dairy products. Getting rid of fatty dairy products and replacing them with low-fat substitutes will reduce your overall calorie consumption. Substitute plain yogurt for sour cream when you make dip. Instead of cream, use evaporated milk. You can choose fat-free if you are extremely zealous. Ricotta cheese can be subbed in for cream cheese. These switches will not be very noticeable and will save you calories.
Think about using juice in your diet as a great way to get extra vitamins. Try other juices than orange juice. There are many others that have high nutritional values with not as much sugar such as carrot juice or wheat grass. Blending several juices together can improve the taste. Just remember that whatever you put in the juicer is packed with nutrients and therefore excellent for your body.
Though you may be working to reduce your cholesterol level and improve your nutrition, you do not need to give up flavor. If Italian food is something that you cherish, you can still have some lasagna, just make yourself a few changes. You should use low-fat cheese and whole-grain noodles to make the recipe. Use some spinach and use ground turkey instead of ground beef. Small changes can help make just about any dish healthier.
Children tend to want to participate in their parents' activities. They should learn how to make healthy snacks so that this becomes a habit. This will also give you time to teach them something about how nutritious food can be good for them so they can make better choices.
The introduction to this article stressed that adequate nutrition is necessary to maintain total body health. From head to toe, including your brain and eyes, getting the right amount of nutrients is what keeps everything running as it should. Study the advice in this article and rest assured that you are giving your body what it truly needs.
You can switch out your meats, and eat some seafood. It is a healthy choice. Omega-3 fatty acids are critical to brain health and circulation. Eating fish is the finest way to get them. The only caveat is to avoid fish species that are known to contain too much mercury, like tuna.

{Written by Jeffrey R. Woolf and originally posted to the author's blogsite, My Obiter Dicta}
Over the past days, the Jewish media (including Facebook) has been abuzz over suggestions by three Conservative rabbis, Amichai Lau-Lavie, Ben Hoffman and Daniel Stein to embrace Intermarriage (Lau-Lavie and Stein) and Patrilineal Descent (Hoffman). Having watched the trajectory of the Conservative Movement over the past five decades, I am sure that both positions will be adopted, despite the stated objections of the head of United Synagogue. The reason I say this is that such a development would be consistent with the underlying philosophy of the Conservative Movement.
There are many corollaries of this simple truth. One of them is that one must admit that there are situations wherein a the Torah demands that one surrender to the Will of God. Free Will is granted to all, but one is expected to take responsibility for one's actions. In the case of an Inter-faith couple, the option of a principled, valid conversion to Judaism exists and should be made available to the degree possible. Empathy and caring must be part and parcel of the encounter with inter-faith couples. However, that cannot come at the expense of the integrity of the Torah or of the Future of the Jewish People. Sometimes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
