Ukraine has a rich Christian heritage - Christianity was found in Ukraine as early as in the first century AD. Christianity was further spread in this area of the world during the 9th century due to missionaries and during the 10th century because of Christian rulers. Ukrainians suffered greatly during the Communist era of the 20th century, and the Church was persecuted. However, there has been freedom of religion since 1990, and Ukraine became independent in 1991. Economic progress has been slow, but Ukraine has rich mineral deposits, fertile land, and a strong education system - so there is great potential for growth. Today, most Ukrainians identify as Christian; the Church was able to survive the persecution during the Communist years.

Easter in Frankfurt: hiking (easy) on Sunday?
Hey everybody,
for those of you who will stay in Frankfurt for the prolonged Easter weekend and who haven't made any plans on Sunday, yet:
Are you up for an easy hike / walk through the Nidda-Auen (North from Frankfurt)?
We would meet at the Hauptwache on Sunday at 11:30 hrs. in front of the KFC (downstairs) and get on the U-Bahn to Eschersheim.
Starting from there towards North / North-West. There are several oportunities to turn back to Frankfurt / to get on public transportation in order to short cut the hike and as the area is merely flat it will be an easy hike / walk.
Nevertheless, you should bring enough liquid to stay hydrated, maybe some snacks and definitely sun screen! Weather is supposed to be GREAT!!
Let me know if you will join!

She might be the babe beside me, but she's also one mighty terrific poet. I mean, Layne Ransom. Before the girlfriend was the best pal and the coworker and the classmate and the girl at the martini bar shouting about slugs. I'm here about her new (first! congrats! yes!) chapbook from H_NGM_N Books called You Are The Meat. Sure sure I could be risking an elbow (or worse!) saying anything sillybad about this book, but mainly I'd just be sillywrong. I'm being srsly(asmuchasispossible)honest here!
Here I go. Here I go. Boyfriend and poetry fan and Layne fan and superpal all chattering as one messy flung ball. First thing you gotta notice, first poem, first ending, first time you get to take a breath and scroll on: "Don't reason/with a plane crash/clean up the fucking bodies." Layne is scared, but isn't scared to shout out of these poems, EVERYTHING SHE SEES. It's beautiful and daring and feels like late night walks we take. A little drunk and a little worried and a lot in awe of the Past, Present, and Future. "When will Jesus Christ fulfill my sexual desires?" That's life, right? Waiting for saviors, and getting stood up by saviors, and (failing at) being our own saviors, and realizing our saviors were here the whole fucking time, in a homemade hat holding a chocolate bar. "If I could slap a title on this moment/it'd be EVERYONE I LOVE IS HERE" This thing is full of good titles ("How Was Your Day?" and "Little Methods" to name TWO) and good lines (you get it yet?), but most WOW is the straight up stumbling-down-the-railroad-tracks oomph of these poems, this whole meatwad. It goes zoom: "then my eyes explode/out of my skull with blood and multi-colored/magnet letters spelling words like "faith,"/"love," and "beauty."/you rearrange them into phrases like/"you evil fatty" and "voila, beef hat!" But golly geesh golly, what reminders we get throughout, of being loved/possessed, "If I could take you where I'm going/I would take you," of the way it is (but keep going!), "If I ruled the world, everything/would turn out just as awful," of The Necessary Parts, "Your first something is holy. Have a sandwich. Keep moving constantly, firing and firing out."

wedding links to original article
(Hürriyet Newspaper, 2 July 2012)
In Kadıköy, Istanbul, the groom had an argument with
his intended and beat her first in the car and then in front
of the cafe where the wedding was to be held. The
families then went after each other with fists and kicks
so the wedding ended up in the police station.
According to shocked witnesses on Kadıköy's Rıhtım
Avenue, the situation developed as follows: the groom,
İ.Ö., set out in the car of bride-to-be C.A. en route to
the cafe on Rıhtım Avenue. On the way, C.A. said to
İ.Ö. 'your aunt gave me a phony bracelet at our
engagement party.' In response, İ.Ö. said 'how can you
talk about my aunt that way!' An argument ensued with
İ.Ö losing his self-control and beating C.A. When they
arrived at the cafe İ.Ö. continued to pummel C.A. and he
pulled out a gun as C.A.'s family tried to intervene.
İ.Ö's family then went after C.A.'s relatives, with the
inter-family battle spilling into the street. And although
İ.Ö.'s relatives tried to calm him down he slipped away
from them to resume beating the now-unconscious C.A.
unremittingly. The relatives and even some passers-by
tried to restrain İ.Ö. but without success.
Police from the Rıhtım Police Station arrived and put an
end to the fighting. Groom İ.Ö. and ten of the bride-to-be's
relatives were taken into custody and released after they
gave their statements.

A look at bi-polar episodes
By Dr. Barbara Bachmeier
Feeling Rejected and Misunderstood
- Do you sometimes feel as if no one really understands what you are going through when you are facing the aftermath of a manic episode?
- Do you wonder if your friends and family even care to understand?
- Are they angry with you or blaming you?
- Are you feeling a deep sense of failure and shame?
This can happen, and these kinds of feelings can be devastating and debilitating. But you can recover and feel confident again.
Overcoming feelings of defeat are not only possible, but very important as we want to prevent the "other side" of bipolar to get you down — literally. Such feelings and thoughts can trigger a major depressive episode; so we must look at the events and possible poor decisions and impulse behaviors of the manic episode from a balanced and objective perspective. We can then revise our prevention and actions plans should another manic episode be triggered in the future.
There are two areas to focus on while recovering from a manic episode. The first is self education, and .....the second is the education of family and friends.
Your self- education process will consist of taking an objective look at recent events. Take note of what you were think and feeling. Note the triggers. Track your recent behaviors, especially ones that might have elicited negative responses from family and friends.
You cannot change anything in the past, or the events that have led to here and now. But you can move aside from yourself and look at the events from an objective point of view and assess the distorted thoughts that you have had. You can then assess what triggered distorted thinking that might have led to maladaptive behaviors. You can assess what makes you feel vulnerable. From this information you can revise your wellness and action plan and make adjustments to your lifestyle and relationships to prevent another manic episode, and or to teach other people about your manic episodes and how to help you
This leads us to the second area of focus; educating friends and family. There is no better time than the present for this. Consider setting an appointment with your therapist and asking your most trusted family member, your spouse, or a very trusted friend to come with you to an appointment.
During the appointment, have your therapist share with your loved one information that you have already reviewed together and that you have approved.
This will be an opportunity for your loved one, spouse, or friend to receive first hand education about your condition and will reinforce the fact that you need support and understanding. This is beyond simple psycho-education about bipolar and what bipolar is. Indeed, your family, loved ones, spouse, and friends, will benefit from learning this and I encourage you to encourage them to attend family support groups where they will learn more and more. But in addition to this, sessions with your therapist can make a huge difference. Over time, you might even be able to persuade your family to engage in family therapy with you.
Remember, you past does not define you. Your mental illness does not define who you are as a human being. You were born with innate gifts and talents. You are good human being and you deserve to be treated as such. So, you must also treat yourself with love and respect and understanding. Often, it is the sufferer who is hardest on him or herself. Check your self defeating and negative thoughts, and thoughts of self judgment and criticism and use your positive thinking skills to change those. Get back into the world, volunteer, and visit friends, it is important to stay in touch with others.

Negative thoughts and how to change them?
The human brain produces approximately 70,000 thoughts per day. It means that we have different thoughts every 1.2 seconds and about 60% of these thoughts are negative, which produce immense burden on the mind and body. It is ironic but true that thoughts occur in sleep too.
Negative thoughts are caused by our deep rooted belief patterns about self esteem, security, money, people and life in general. Negativity has a big impact on different aspects of life. With consistent negative thinking, over time the negative thought patterns become well established and we start believing and living up to them. Especially, in stressful and tough situations such thoughts are produced much more and since it has become our habit, we flirt with them. Actually, we become what we think.
Those thoughts begin to turn into emotions. We start identifying with the thought as being a part of how we feel. So it goes to say that bad thoughts equate negative emotions.
Neurologically, an expression "the cells that fire together wire together" is often used. It means that the more neurons in the brain fire in one direction, the harder it is to change them. The more we think about something, the more we strengthen that memory in our brain. That is why it is important to stop negative thinking in order to stop strengthening its neural connections in the brain. But it is also known that the brain can change. This is called neuroplasticity. We don't have to be stuck in negative thoughts. It is possible to form new positive pathways in the brain. We can rewire our brain with positive thoughts.
By changing our negative thoughts, we can change our world. The following are very effective strategies for changing the negative thoughts into positive.
- Make a list of things that you are thankful for—Common examples are family, lover, pets, comfortable home, a nice car and other assets. This will help you focus on the positivity you already have in your life. Express your gratitude for the good things you have.
- Live in the present—Many of us forget to live in the present. We spend our time in regretting events that have passed and worrying about what may happen. Accept that you cannot change the past but have a control over what you do in the present. You can make a better future by living in the present with lofty aims.
- Stop using negative words or phrases—Words like "won't" and "can't" allow negative thoughts to stay in the mind, resulting in them becoming a reality. Consciously, change them to "will" and "can" whenever they arise as thoughts. Accept the fact that everybody fails occasionally and instead see it as an opportunity to follow a new path.
- Use positive affirmations—Positive affirmations are a great tool to reprogram the unconscious mind from negative to positive thinking. Create positive and realistic statements. For example, instead of saying "I don't want to feel stress," or "I have stopped feeling stressed," use "I am feeling peace". The most effective way to harness the power of positive affirmations is to repeat them to you on a regular basis. Repeat them mentally several times a day. Repeating them aloud is more effective because you hear them clearly.
- Accept change—Accept the fact that change is the unchangeable law of nature. Everything changes with time good as well as bad. Embrace this concept which will prevent you from slipping into negative thoughts.
- Practice mindfulness—It is a practice of detaching yourself from your thoughts and emotions and viewing them as an outside observer. This is a form of meditation in which you view your thoughts and feelings as objects floating past you. You can stop and observe them or let pass you by. The object of this meditation practice is to gain control of your emotional reactions to the situations. This will strengthen the thinking part of the brain.
- Cognitive behavior therapy—It helps you become aware of negative thinking, so you can view difficult situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. It is an effective tool to learn how to better manage stressful life situations.
- Maintain thought diaries—Most cognitive behavioral therapy plans require the use of thought diary that an individual has to complete as a part of daily homework assignment. Thought diaries help to identify negative thinking pattern. You gain better understanding of how your thoughts cause your emotional reactions.
According to a new study published in the journal Psychological Science, clearing your mind of the negative thoughts can be as simple as writing them down on a piece of paper and physically throwing them away.
Thank God! Somonee with brains speaks!
hello! Thanks for writing. I've been away from Hub pages for a while. I lost my long time husband and best friend,and lost myself in the deal.
I came back to look and stumbled upon your interesting and helpful hub.
You are right in all you say but being right,I've found,and being healed is not the same. One needs to really concentrate on good thoughts and do good deeds for yourself and others to reap the benefits of meditating to feel better.
you have offered lots of good strategies and some I am doing already,but will try some others.
enjoyed your message.
Thank you.
These are all important points on how to change negative thinking. It is more important than many people realize. As indicated here, we end up feeling what we are thinking about, and those feelings drive our behaviors and the decisions we make. Thanks for writing!

For Thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
I will go into Thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay Thee my vows, which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. Psalm 66:8-14
Beloved friend in Christ,
Allow me to share from my personal experience how important and beneficial it will become when we allow the Father to teach us through the Word and personal experiences. May these experiences be a challenge or blessing.
I have known the Savior and the Father, and the Holy Spirit for some 53 years.
In the early stages I walked step by step, just as a baby learned to walk, stumbled here and there, but got up and walked a bit better after. As time went by my leg muscles became pretty strong and I could even run after several years. Of course speaking about my spiritual walk with God.
Now there have been challenges in my life and I had to decide which way I wanted to go... my way or the Father's way. I struggled and fought my way through the trials.
Many difficulties crossed my path but I was holding unto the Lord, because I knew that I would be a loser if I didn't.
Some trials were poured over me with force, but I overcame in the strength of the Lord.
Later on I learned to not avoid the challenges God brought my way, since they became learning experiences. The Father taught me to apply His word and promises, so I would overcome for His glory.
Some were painful years, similar as where Joseph went through when he was thrown in the dry well by his brothers, sold and then during his tenure put into prison due to the lies of Potiphar's wife, remember?
Joseph did not crumble under the pressure, he rather was a help to other prisoners. God led him out and Joseph became the right hand of Pharaoh, and the mightiest in the land of Egypt at the age of thirty.
What I am trying to tell you is that if we want to grow and become stronger in the Lord so He can use us in His service, we HAVE TO GO through the God provided challenges to build up FAITH and TRUST in His word.
If we would ignore that which God puts on our path, we will be missing out on learning experiences which would have strengthened our FAITH and our walk with Him. The result of this may be that we lose the chance to see God at work.
Also one will become weaker instead of stronger by ignoring God's direction.
By Not using your "muscles" you will become weak and eventually powerless, right?
Just check some of the Mighty men of God throughout the Bible and you will agree with me that their life was far from easy... then read what they received in return... AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE WITH THE MASTER HIMSELF.
The three Hebrew children had one of the greatest experiences in the fiery furnace, especially when they walked out unharmed. Daniel in the lions den was another person who walked in obedience unto God, nevertheless he was left in the lions' den to be shred to pieces, but wasn't.
Has God changed? Absolutely NOT!! We are the ones who may change.
With this, I want to encourage you to accept all that the Father has arranged for your present life, with the ability to lay treasures at His feet due to your surrender unto His will and ways. Also the tremendous JOY which will follow you in the way God will lead you and use you through these trials. All this with the assurance to experience His Mighty Hand in deliverance, healing, restoration, reunion, and so much more which you don't want to miss.
Right now I am very moved by the Holy Spirit, just by remembering what exercises I had to go through to become what God had in mind for me, and not who I decided to be.
But looking back, it was worth it all. Through allowing God to mold me into His image I have experience great heights, have been raised from serious sick beds, have seen oodles of mighty miracles of which the first miracle was the instant healing of my oldest sister who suffered for 10 years from serious mental illness and hallucination.
After that I counted nothing impossible with God.
Beloved, be encouraged and go the extra mile with God, because He has something special lined up for you at the end, I promise because I know it.
Fear not for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord Almighty. Look up for your redemption draws nigh.
When Christ returns He will reward each person according to what he has done. HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
Be greatly blessed by the Father.
In His service and for His glory,
Minister Dr. Trudy Veerman.

Is "Hinagiku" a household moe name now? Cuz it fits refined adorableness so appropriately. <333
Haha, I was so pleased with this ep 8 that I felt that I had to make a short post on it, especially for my squishy little yamato nadeshiko, Hina-chama~!
You're gonna get taken home!!! xDDDDD
To start it off, Aoi-chan's first half of the episode was very cute and made me "aww" all over the place about how much she wanted to help her parents with work. It's kind of a typical kid enthusiasm story but this girl wasn't selling just anything. She was advertising FISH. YEA. 8D
It's a good thing they always put the more light-hearted stuff first and then follow it up with the "drama" (yes, quotations, xD; ) afterwards cuz honestly…
How the hell can you make things look good after this cutie? That would be such a bad aftertaste. lol xD;
Anyways, Hinagiku is the daughter of some well-to-do traditional Japanese family and that mafia Boss guy who scared the crap out of Tsuchi a few episodes ago because he only wanted to tell him to throw away his trash properly. lol That moment was great but back to Hinagiku, argh, she's so AWESOME.
Because how often do we see little girls her age scold her papa and his subordinates for being threateningly rude to "ordinary" people and actually make them listen, EH?!
Makes you kinda wonder how intimidating she'd be when she's a few years older. haha xDD
And lol, Tsuchi-sensei really is so popular with the kids. Right away, Hinagiku is smitten by him and his "free-spirited"-ness (|D;) and proposes marriage right on the spot. She's so mature about it, too, that it scares me a little. ^^;
Haha, and when Anzu barges and throws her usual temper tantrums, I had a good laugh how easily Hina-chama brushed it off like it was nothing. "Well, if you're dating Anzu, then I guess there wouldn't be a problem with you dating a older women."
Oh goodness, Hina-chamaaaa~ xDDD
That is, until the Yamamoto-sensei topic is brought up and all kindergartners hoping to be Tsuchi-sensei's future wife immediately see her as an ebil~ seducer.
At least Hina-chama does it with grace, I suppose.
But of course, nobody can resist the fluffy, warm nearly-divine goodness that is Yamamoto-sensei. <D
DA HELL, WOMAN! You're making the fluorescent lightbulbs cry! Srsly, she must be an alien cuz she just GLOWS everything around her. xD;
Hina-chama gets discouraged after her little talk with Yamamoto-sensei and decides to give up on Tsuchi-sensei but Anzu tells her not to give up her love because she will grow up to have a nice chest eventually and that they both must continue to try hard to win him over.
D'AWWWWWWWWWWW, ANZUUU~~~ x3333
I admit that she annoyed me a lot at the beginning but after talking things out with ultra dense (but still cute) Yamamoto-sensei, she kept impressing me a lot with her adorable determination
but it's never going to come to fruit, Anzu-chan ^^;. Her noisy clingyness is still excessive but ah well, that's how she expresses her love. haha
Too bad she's not smart enough to realize that she made another rival for Tsuchi-sensei's affections on her own account. Oh, Anzu… xD;
But yay~ I hope to see Hina-chama more from now on since she's going to continue attending Hanamaru Kindergarten. <333
ED: "Nadeshiko Romance" by Mariya Ise
Ah, I loved this ending~
Musically, it's not anything memorable (though I like how it matched so perfectly on the yamato nadeshiko-ness) but I like it the most out of all the ones we had so far. Especially the visuals. It's simple…but OH SO CUTE! AAAHHHH!!! And raindrops, kitties, Hina-chama holding an umbrella, Hina-chama's papa and mafia dudes, Mariya Ise and of course, my Hina-chamaaaa~~~ <333
…yea, I'm just all for the visuals. |D;
Not really interested in the next episode (at least the last half) since it's gonna be hard to top off my Hina-chama but will watch it anyway. I'm looking forward to the three girl's vision of themselves in the future. Anzu looks scary grown up (o.O;), Koume seems to be a nurse(?) and aww, Hii-chan's going to be an astronaut (but that suit scares me |D; ).
And omg, PA-PA-PA-PA-Panda-neko♪ is back! HAAAAUUU!!! KAWAII YO!!!! OMOCHIKAERIIII~~~~!!!!!!!! xDDDDDDDDDDD

So, I think that this pork taste pretty close to the pork in the pork salad from Cafe Rio. I love Cafe Rio and I loved this dish. It is pretty easy too! I hope you all like it!
3 lbs. Pork Tenderloin
16 oz. can chunky salsa
2 cups brown sugar
16 oz. Coca Cola
Cover the meat half way with water in a crock-pot and cook on high for 5 hours.
Then mix together the salsa, brown sugar, and coca cola.
Dump the water out of the crock pot after the 5 hours and add the above mixture. Cook for 3 more hours on high!

My stance on cutesy makeup names is well know at this point, but I actually think this name fits the color. The lipstick is as pink and shimmery as shown and wears the same way. LUSH calls it a "fun, flirty pink that has a subtle shimmer". That is mostly true, but the description makes me cringe more than the name. For me, makeup is just not flirty, in and of itself.
This has good staying power, and despite being described as lipstick, has more of a gloss feel to it. Both in application (there's a doe-foot applicator inside the cap) and because it's easy to build the color. Also, it's moisturizing without being sticky. If I hadn't had a bunch of other lip colors to test, I would have worn this for weeks!

Congratulations and thanks go to the Air Pollution Control District Hearing Board members who demonstrated common sense, caring and courage on a very controversial and important issue. After months of testimony by witnesses from both sides, the board upheld the denial of a permit to operate for Phoenix Research Corp. in La Mesa.
Phoenix Research Corp., owned by Union Carbide, produces 70% of the world's arsine gas supply and is located off Fletcher Parkway. Arsine gas is one of the most toxic materials in production today. Exposure to 500 parts per million (ppm) of arsine is almost instantly lethal, and 250 ppm is lethal after 30 minutes. Arsine poisoning destroys red blood cells, requiring complete exchange transfusions of blood for effective treatment.
The facility should never have been located in a densely populated residential and commercial area. The wisdom of the APCD staff to deny the permit has been upheld by the hearing board and we applaud their efforts.

There are bunch of video applications that can make our life easier. Unfortunately they are mostly expensive, but some are free, like ManyCam. This handy app enables you to apply effects to your video stream (webcam), outputs desktop resolution and couple of more interesting options. It serves as a video switcher to, so you can handle couple of video sources.
Did you even find some video app that you thought it was interesting/useful?

Tutorial: How to make baby food!
One of our readers sent us a complete tutorial on how to make your own baby food. This is something that I've wanted to do for a long time, but was never brave enough to figure it out on my own. Thank you so much! If you have any ideas for tutorials feel free to e-mail us at email@example.com
I have loved making my own baby food for my two children. When I first thought about making my own food, I thought it would be so complicated and take so much time, but I am here to tell you how simple it really is!
First, here are the reasons I like making my own baby food:
1. The cost! I did my own cost comparison to see how much money I was really saving by making my own. Gerber baby food comes in two packs costing between $0.75 and $1.00, and each container is 2.5oz. This equals $0.15 to $0.20 per ounce. I bought 2 lbs of carrots for $1.55 which made 31 oz pureed. This equals $0.05 per ounce! The peas were also $0.05 per ounce. Green beans were $0.07 per ounce and butternut squash was $0.14 per ounce. Fruit tends to be more expensive but you may be able to find some good deals depending on the season. You can also buy the fruit on sale, puree it, and freeze it for use when your baby is ready to start solids.
2. It gives me peace of mind to know exactly what is in the food my baby eats. There are no fillers or preservatives. I know how fresh the produce is and when it was made. It smells good, and I have no problem tasting it which makes me feel better about feeding it to my baby.
3. It's really simple! I can make all the food my little girl will need pureed in one day. After she eats all the food I have pureed, she will probably be ready to start more table foods.
The Process
I put together a little tutorial so you can see step by step what to do. Hopefully if you are feeling overwhelmed by the thought of making your own food, this will help ease your mind a little! Please pardon my pictures.. I am not a pro photographer :)
I first made pears. Six pears ended up making 23 oz.
1. Cut your pears in half and scoop out the core. ( I thought I could scoop out the core after I cooked them, but I later regretted it.)
2. Place them cut side down in a baking dish. Pour water into the dish to cover about 1/2 inch of the fruit.
3. Bake the pears at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until tender. (Your house will smell delicious!) Don't throw away any left over water just yet!
4. When they are baked the skins will be brown and wrinkly. After they cool, peel the skins off. They should come off pretty easily by pinching the skin. ( I cooked mine a little too long so the skin was very soft and harder to get off.)
5. Place your pears into a pureeing device. I use a magic bullet, but a food processor, blender, immersion blender or even a hand food mill (click to see food mill) will work. If your puree is too thick, add some of the water that you saved from baking them. Adding stock water back is good because you get some of the nutrients back that were baked out. You can also add water or thicken it with rice cereal when you want to feed it to your baby.
6. I use a freezer method, so I pour the puree into ice cube trays. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze. Once they are frozen, you can pop them out and into a freezer bag. I find that one cube (approx. one ounce) is the perfect size to start out with. When my kids get a little older I just warm up two cubes instead of one. I had four trays laying around, but if you don't have any, I have seen packs of two at the dollar store.
Make sure to label the bag with the date and type of food.
When I want to warm up the food, I just place it in the microwave for about 30 seconds, stir it, and place it in for 7 more seconds. Make sure to stir it and check that it's not too hot because microwaves can cause hot spots.
And that's it! I made 6 different purees, and it only took me half a day, not including freezing time.
Should I use canned, frozen, or fresh produce?
Canned food should never be used. The biggest reason is loss of nutrients. For more information click HERE. Frozen and fresh foods are a both good option. If you use frozen, be sure to read the labels to make sure there is no added salt, sugar, or syrups.
What are different options to cook the food?
1. Baking with water, like the example of the pears. I also bake butternut squash and peaches this way.
2.Baking without water, like baking a sweet potato.
3. Steaming or boiling - this works well with many vegetables like peas, carrots, green beans.
What if I don't have enough trays?
I put the extra purees into containers in the fridge. When the first cubes froze, I popped them out and froze the purees that I had saved in the fridge. This way I could do all the cooking in one day, even though it took longer to actually freeze them.
Is it necessary to strain vegetables?
I strain the vegetables that have outer skins that are harder to digest (like peas and green beans.) After I puree them, I put them into a strainer over a deep bowl and push it through with a spoon. Scrape off the back of the strainer, and all that will be left in the strainer are tiny bits of outer skin. Some people think this may not make a difference for baby, but I found that my son had a hard time digesting peas until he was over a year old.
What about meats?
A note about meats-- I thought that there was no way pureeing meats would work, but it really did! I just boiled the chicken and pureed it, adding a little liquid. See HERE for information on choosing types of meats that are good for baby. Meats were my least favorite thing about jarred food, so I was so glad that pureeing meats worked so well (and actually smelled good!) Try it!
My favorite resource on making baby food is this: wholesomebabyfood.com. It really can answer almost any question and has great ideas for making your own rice cereal, teething biscuits, and toddler food too.
Thank you very much once again. What a perfect tutorial! So......

This is really cool! I am sad that my baby doesn't want baby food anymore at this point...just table food, because I would love to try it.

Oh...I just wanted to add that if you read the labels on some baby "snack" foods like the teething toast and such, there is sugar, enriched flour, etc. in there. Instead of spending the extra money on those things I started just giving him the bread I made or other crackers that were pretty made of the same stuff or better.

This is a really great post with alot of amazing information. My favorite website for homemade baby food recipes is:
The site suggests that you just cook for yourself and feed some to baby. There is a 6 month course of suggestions you can sign up for to guide you in introducing a variety of foods for your baby.
I hope this is helpful.

I too made part of the food I fed my son when he was younger. I found corn to be a lot messier if you freeze it. It just comes apart in bits and doesn't really work well. BUT the other fruits and vegetables mentioned above work awesome and my son was more willing to eat it if it was something I had made from scratch.

Never tried meats! Hmmm...
My boys have loved homemade baby food and it was something simple I could do to feel like I was providing a better way of life for them and saving my budget.
I am a lover of the ziplock steamer bags that make steaming veggies, and fruits a breeze!
Thanks for the tutorial!

The heat wave may unfortunately be over, but still, after a day of scooting around the city, hurriedly attending to one's business, a clean, refreshing chilled soup will rarely go amiss.
Since I can afford to be a little more leisurely with my business at this particular time, I'm able there are plenty of opportunities for indulging in some of life's simple pleasures... After having purchased a dazzingly sharp new knife, I can think of few things more desirable than to while away a little while turning some ripe fruits and vegetables into a zesty, mellow-spiced gazpacho.
If you are more pushed for time, you can also mix the soup in a blender, although a few hand-sliced tomatoes, peppers and herbs will make all the difference.
Watermelon and mint gazpacho
When making this gazpacho, I basically chopped all the fruit, vegetables, and soft herbs we had to hand... The classic gazpacho is made from little more than tomato, pepper, cucumber and garlic - use that as your base and take it from there.
Serves 6 to 8, depending on portion size
six vine tomatoes, very finely chopped
two small red onions, very finely chopped
a spring onion, finely sliced
two red peppers, very finely chopped
one small cucumber, very finely chopped
flesh of a large slice of watermelon (roughly an eighth of the whole fruit), seeds removed, very finely chopped
half a head of cos lettuce or a couple of little gem, finely shredded
two cloves of garlic, very finely chopped
one red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
the juice of half a lemon and half a lime
a bunch of parsley, very finely chopped
a bunch of basil, very finely chopped
a bunch of mint, very finely chopped
half a litre of cold vegetable stock
a litre of tomato juice
a dash of red wine (or red wine vinegar)
Tobasco and/or Worcestershire sauce to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Croutons and olive oil to serve
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl or pot, except for the croutons, olive oil, and chopped green herbs. Season, and leave to chill in the fridge for at least half an hour, if not up to four hours.
Serve with croutons, a sprinkling of herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Like probably half the world, I Love Coffee… Coffee has been a bit of a slippery slope adventure for me… I had my first Chemex style brew about 5 years and before I knew it I had Chemexes, french presses, aeropresses and most recently an espresso maker in my collection. -_-
Like every caffeine junky, I also love to sample every different take on the great bean whenever I get the chance to. Recently I've started to cut down on my caffeiene intake as I strive to be a little more zen but I still love a good cuppa every now and then. (;

Happy Birthday, Caedmon!
What is one thing that's worth losing sleep--lots of sleep--over? Kids!
Some friends from Charleston who live in another Asian country were flown here about a month ago with pregnancy complications. They already have two kids, Kate who is 3 and John David who is 14 months. Kelli started going into labor at 31 weeks, but when they got to Bangkok, doctors were able to stop the labor.
Kelli was in and out of the hospital this past month, waiting to be further along in pregnancy so that the baby boy would be healthier. The last 10 days or so, Kelli was out of the hospital and able to be at the hotel with John and the kids. As of yesterday, she was 35 weeks along. This was a huge answer to prayer!
Last night, around 10:00, we got a text asking if we were still able to be 'on call' to watch the kids when Kelli was ready to deliver. We said, of course.
Around midnight, we went to bed, texted them a reminder that we would have the phone on. Around 1:40, the phone started ringing. Yep, it was time.
Matt and I threw on some clothes and went to the street to find a taxi, which, thankfully, wasn't as hard as it probably should have been at that hour. We arrived at their hotel in 25 minutes-- record time. (Once when we had gone to babysit, it took over an hour and a half to get there!)
Anyway, Kelli and John left for the hospital immediately. At 3 or so, I texted to check on them. Labor wasn't too far along, but they still thought the baby would come today.
He did! I woke up at 6:30 am to a text saying "He is here!". Shortly afterwards, the other two kids woke up.
When I went in to wake up little Kate, she was already awake. She said, "you're here!" And I said, "Yep, do you know what that means?" Kate: "Mommy's having the baby!!!" Me: "That's right, actually he's already born." Kate: "I prayed last night to Jesus that he would come soon... so we can go back home. I prayed, and he came!" Me: "That's right, sweetie, God answered your prayer."
(John and Kelli had already told us about that prayer, and it was a sweet reminder to me of a child's faith and of God's willingness to answer our prayers.)
Then she started a long rant of things I could tell her parents had prepared her for: "when baby Caedmon comes out, he's going to be all bloody, but then they're gonna clean him and then they're gonna wrap him up and put a hat on him, ... and then Daddy's gonna come over here and say 'Kate, let's go see baby Caedmon.'" I cannot tell you what this was doing to my heart! Precious! Meanwhile, John David, the little man was standing up in his crib just a smilin' away!
I'll be less detailed about the rest of the morning... but you can see for yourself what part of it entailed. Be sure to notice the "I'm a big sister!" shirt. This girl was born to be a big sister! Enjoy!

Haitians proud on day of quake memorial, after Trump comments
(Note language that may offend some readers) By Joseph Guyler Delva PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) – Haitians on Friday pushed back at U.S. President Donald Trump's reported description of the Caribbean country as a "shithole," instead celebrating a history of slave revolution and resilience on the eighth anniversary of a devastating earthquake. The government said Trump should apologize if he made such comments, and summoned the top U.S. diplomat in the country for an explanation. "Mr Trump may say what he pleases, but I am proud of being Haitian.

Bitcoin is a scheme designed to facilitate the transfer of value between parties. Unlike traditional payment systems, which transfer funds denominated in sovereign currencies, Bitcoin has its own metric for value called bitcoin (with lowercase letter "b", and abbreviated as BTC1). Bitcoin is a complex scheme, and its implementation involves a combination of cryptography, distributed algorithms, and incentive driven behaviour. Moreover, recent developments suggest that Bitcoin operations may involve risks whose nature and proportion are little, if at all, understood. In light of these considerations, the purpose of this paper is to provide the necessary technical background to understand basic Bitcoin operations and document a set of empirical regularities related to Bitcoin usage. This reports present the micro-structure of the Bitcoin transaction process and highlight the use of cryptography for the purposes of transaction security and distributed maintenance of a ledger.

West Papua is not on the front pages of The New York Times most days. In fact,
most people don't know that it is a territory of Indonesia, or that it is the site of a
deep-seated conflict in which the indigenous community has been seeking inde- pendence from Indonesia since the 1960s. So, perhaps, it is no surprise that most people don't know about the Reverend Dr. Benny Giay. A native of West Papua,
Benny is working tirelessly to reconcile conflicts in the region that have claimed tens
of thousands of lives and forced many more from their homes. His story is one of faith, courage, and a guiding vision for what he calls "a New Papua."
Born into a family from the Melanesian Me tribe, Benny was a young child when his parents converted to Christianity. He soon followed in their footsteps to become active in the Evangelical Church. His devotion to his faith, however, made him all the more frustrated as he came to recognize the Church's failure to address human rights' violations of its own Papuan constituency.
Determined, Benny decided to dedicate his life to making social justice a reality for
his community. In doing so, he has reconciled his indigenous and Christian roots, reaching a community that treasures its many historic traditions. The results are
new ideas and practices that speak to his fellow Papuans.
Benny began his quest by tackling one of his community's highest priorities: education. Prior to 1986, students who wanted a seminary education had to leave home and travel far from West Papua, often a difficult and expensive experience. Benny decided to remedy the situation and, despite resistance from the Church, founded West Papua's first seminary. Ten years later, he was unanimously elected chairman of the Church's Education Foundation, successfully raising the funds needed to provide wages for the teachers – who had not been paid in years. Because of his leadership, thousands of Papuan students – West Papua's future leaders – are now receiving a quality education without having to leave their community.
A prolific writer, Benny has also produced numerous books and articles exposing the human rights abuses within his community to the outside world. His latest writings outline how to reach a "New Papua" of reconciliation, nonviolence and peace.
While Benny has succeeded in providing many opportunities for his people, he has not done this without cost. Perhaps not surprisingly, his activism has put his life in great danger. His writings have been banned and he has been trailed at night, frightening
his family that he would not return home. When he travels outside the country, he is harassed as he departs and returns. The Indonesian government even blacklisted a human rights organization he founded with other church and community leaders.
Many members of the group have been terrorized by the military or had their homes destroyed.
But Benny plays down these risks, noting that others have suffered far worse then he. Instead, he persevered, becoming the director of the Papua Peace Commission through which he is trying to create a "zone of peace" in West Papua, within which no acts of violence would be permitted. One of West Papua's greatest moral and intellectual voices, Benny is recognized as a man who puts his profound faith into practice as
he works for the people he loves.

Regards Sarina PasrichaMusic music and more music. Watch our report next week from Estonia which has a music festival to rival any in the world and where we meet the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest. I recently returned from a trip to the beautiful nation of Slovenia. I've been around the world and Ljubljana is one of my favorite cities. I was there for nearly two weeks and hardly began to experience everything this small country has to offer. Slovenia is being slighted and you have no idea what you're missing.

A WEARSIDE artist has landed the inaugural prize in memory of a popular club member who died recently.
Following the death of Houghton Art Club chairman Tony Lynn earlier this year, friends of his decided to create a trophy in his name for the best painting or drawing that the club's members could produce ahead of this year's popular Christmas Exhibition.
A former captain in the Army, Mr Lynn, of Houghton, died aged 78 in August following a long illness.
He was appointed permanent staff administration officer with the 7th Light Infantry in 1983 until he retired from the position in July 1996.
Before his death, he was involved in helping to create and put in place the memorial to the Durham Light Infantry in Durham City's Market Place.
And the first winner of the award has been named as Gillian Coates after her depiction of the Sir Nigel Gresley steam engine wowed judges. Gillian was presented with the trophy by the Mayor of Sunderland Councillor Stuart Porthouse and his wife, the Mayoress, Marie.
Mr Lynn's widow Margaret was also in attendance.
"It's absolutely wonderful that the club have created this award," said Mr Lynn's daughter Melanie Hodgson, 41.
"It's really nice of them to do something like that because they all appreciate everything he did for the art club in his years as chairman."
Houghton Art Club's Christmas Exhibition was held over two days in the town's Welfare Hall, off Station Road.

Annoying things people do on the tube
Following on from the pointless tube stations thread...People saying excuse me and then standing in the exact spot you were standing in an empty train...
eating cornish pasties/cheese and onion crisps
leaning on you
talking to you
staring at you
doing anything that's not staring into space or reading
i stare
at people
I love it when nice people talk to you
My sister and I were chatting to a girl one Saturday morning who was clearly still going from the night before and was swigging from a wine bottle. She shared her wine and we sang Klaxons songs. Ace.
On my home last night,
I talked the whole 45 minute journey to a 34-year old Serbian divorcee. She was eating a sandwich and telling me about chickens she owned as a kid on a farm back in Serbia.
It was good.
There is almost nothing a person can do on a tube train
and not be irritating.
'Is she...breathing on my clothes? Bitch'
People that
don't move down when it's clearly causing problems elsewhere on the train.
People that get annoyed at your inability to move into space which isn't there.
people who...
sit with a copy of a free paper and not read it, even though I need something to read.
^people who ask me to
pass them the free paper that's sitting on the window behind me.
Er that's probably me!
But I'm doing it because you've been reading over my shoulder for the past twenty minutes!
I'll get two papers at London Bridge next time. Anyone else need one? Although saying the I'm assuming here that you want to read my Metro because you've already read your Lite. Perhaps an exchange could be agreed upon?
People do this at gigs
I could kill them.
once, at a sold out, crowded gig someone tried to push past me to get nearer to the front with an "excuse me".
i replied "sure, where abouts are you going?"
they got quite arsey :D
People in stations
on the wrong side of corridoors even when it's clearly explained on the wall.
I try to get in their way and fix them with a dissatisfied stare...
I can't remember
noticing anyone doing it on escalators....
when they all get on at the same place
just walk down the platform, it's so easy.
while i do agree about the rules
i find it somewhat humorous when i use the other side (when there's nobody there) and all the suckers stay on the left moving at an ant's pace. oh the envy.
When a crowded train stops
and you're trying to get off, but someones arm is directly in your face, holding onto a bar. And they try and move out of the way but while still holding the bar, and you have to awkwardly duck.
people with
massive backpacks on a crowded train and oblivious to the fact it's hitting their fellow commuters in the face.
When you've got a massive backpack
and there's nothing you can do about it, even though you're trying your very hardest not to hit fellow commuters in the face. And everyone looks at you and tuts.
no it isn't
and the tube is a stupid name....
worse than THE tube
is A tube .... I caught a tube from Beatton's Cross to Fuckface Circus
People who don't offer their seat on a crowded tube to pregnant women/elderly and disabled people/people with babies etc. Selfish fucking wankers. My Mum is disabled, and if someone made her stand there with her walking stick, I'd go fucking ape shit.
That isn't really what I meant
I always look to see if someone standing around is obviously in need of a seat. And even if I am not sure, I'm perfectly capable of standing, so I just get up. Then they can make up their own minds.
waitaminute....disabled = wheelchair?
Why should they get my chair too?
cos disabled ONLY means people in a wheelchair, doesn't it.
high five
at last I'm not the only one making this point.
not that i have done in this thread
but, you know, years of sitting in meetings telling people that just because there's a wheelchair sign in disabled parking spaces doesn't mean you shouldn't be entitled to a blue badge if you can walk, sort of thing...
Don't even START me on that. I know someone with a stomach complaint who, when they need to go, they gotta go, so they get a blue badge, so they can park easier and find a loo etc. People always go to them 'Oh, you don't look very disabled'. FUCK OFF!!
Obviously in a tube situation this wouldn't make any difference.
My Mum is a big campaigner on all these sorts of issues so it's something I'm quite well-versed in.
Alexei Sayle has this attitude - he aired it on Room 101 - and he is one of my alltimeheroes. Disappointing. I aim to be Alexei Sayle without the nobby views.
People who on an absolutely PACKED train
Think that, what is really important, is that they can still keep reading their massive Financial Times, despite the fact it's forcing three other people to have their face pushed right up against the window.
Also, and I've seen this TWICE this week; middle aged city types pushing OBVIOUSLY pregnant women out of the way to get a seat. Nice chaps.
The papers: yes.
Even worse when it's all people rotting their brains with those frigging free ones. And then give you filthy looks when you are forced to smoosh it up into them with the sheer force of the human bodies being packed into the carriage.
People with those massive travel bags
with the handle and wheels.
Apparently it's de rigeur in Fulham to take your work stuff in these ALL WEEK LONG during rush hour.
Cheers you cunts
trying to get on before you get off
yesterday a girl did this and basically pushed me back inside so she could get past, so i shoved her and she fell over.
she died chloe,
she died.
In that situation
Just sniff really loudly and make the point that it fucking stinks.

At the Toronto International Film Festival, last Fall, Matt Damon made a pretty bold statement to E! News, arguing "Jason Bourne would kick the s–t out of Batman—absolutely!" There's a ton of reasons this is comment is incorrect. Bourne is admittedly great, but Batman levels of great… Ben Affleck can handle this one.
Firing back on E! News, Affleck had this to say: "Matt is going around saying this all over the place but not to my face," he told Maria Menounos. He continued, "but Matt can't even beat me up, never mind Batman. You know what I'm saying? He has a long way to go."
This is an argument that would most assuredly result in an exciting bout between the Dark Knight and the service officer turned assassination target, who's slowly regaining his memory. Tell us what you think in the comments below. Who would win?
Batman v Superman hits theaters March 25 and Jason Bourne makes his return to the big screen on July 29, 2016.

Bookstore | NONFICTION | POLITICAL SCIENCE
In the career memoir, My Life in the VA: Lessons in Leadership, a thirty-seven year employee of the Department of Veterans Affairs shares an insider's view and valuable insight into the inner-workings of a bureaucracy.
Fred Malphurs worked in both the central office as well as the VA healthcare system and spent the last twenty plus years of his career in senior executive service. He provides a compelling look inside the leadership of the VA as well as an interesting commentary on healthcare. Malphurs begins with detailing his experiences learning the ropes as he grappled through his first few years on the job and moves through his career in chronological order. He openly shares the lessons he learned along the way, his challenges both personal and professional, and the high and low points of his career all while shedding light on the political processes, the uncoordinated public policies, the failure to report real information, and the politics of doing or not doing the right thing. His recommendations for healthcare reform and improved government are included.
Malphurs' fascinating autobiography offers a unique perspective on healthcare, political science, and the distinguished career of a Federal executive.

From the parent grant: The Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies (CAS) training program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is designed to promote the development of promising postdoctoral research fellows as independent investigators and future University faculty members who will investigate the pathogenesis of alcoholism and alcohol abuse using modern molecular medicine, biochemical and imaging techniques. Training of the postdoctoral fellows will be individualized with the most important component being the research conducted by the trainee in the faculty mentor's laboratory. In addition to hand's-on alcohol research, additional training will include didactic courses, seminars and conferences, activities on responsible conduct of research and other training as needed to prepare fellows for independent research. The training faculty will consist of 14 funded investigators from multiple departments at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The faculty has a documented history of close interaction and collaboration. The trainees will benefit from the unique strengths of alcohol research at the University of North Carolina, which include the CAS with its research cores, UNC-Neuroscience Center, a research-oriented Mental Health Research Center with its research cores in Psychiatry, a CTSA and the Program in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. The training program will be directed by Dr. Fulton T. Crews with the assistance of three senior alcohol researchers, Drs. Clyde Hodge, Kathy Sulik and Leslie Morrow, who will constitute the Training Program Advisory Committee. The program proposes six post-doctoral fellow slots. Trainees will receive two years of research training with the possibility of a third year and with external support sought for later years. This institutional training grant will promote intensive training in molecular, biochemical and imaging techniques and basic pathophysiology in a stimulating environment leading to broadly trained independent investigators capable of adapting to the rapid advances in research in the 21st century.

RWAS Long Service Medals for farm workers
4 July 2013
A 66 year-old farm worker from Ceredigion who has been employed on the land for 54 years will receive a Royal Welsh Agricultural Society Long Service Medal marking his achievement at this year's Royal Welsh Show.
Emyr Lloyd Jones, of Bow Street, Ceredigion, who has spent his entire working life on two nearby farms – 31 years with JH, RH & SP Morgan at Llandre, Bow Street, and 23 years with Mr & Mrs W. Jones of Ty Hen, Llanrhystud - is one of nine farm and estate farm workers who will be presented with the medals in recognition of their length of service to farming. Between them they have spent over 370 years working in the industry.
Although Emyr Jones has been a farm worker for longer than any of the other eight recipients of the award, all have been employed in agriculture, or an associated business, for at least four decades. One of the medallists, Patrick Sarsfield, aged 65, of Bwlch, Vivod, Llangollen, has been with the same employers, Rob, Billy and the late Frank Best, of Plas yn Vivod, Llangollen, Denbighshire, for 46 years.
John Edward Rowlands, aged 64, of Buttington, Welshpool, Powys, has been an agricultural worker for 49 years, the last 40 years with the Jones family at Buttington Old Hall, Buttington, and Dafydd Morris-Jones, 69, of Ty Cross, Ynys Mon, has worked for 48 years for four different employers including 37 years for the late Tecwyn Hughes at Cleifiog Isaf, Valley, Anglesey.
Seventy-two year-old Cyril Johnson of Ruabon, Wrexham, is another recipient of the Long Service Medal who has had only one employer during his working life. He has been on the staff of Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn's Wynnstay Estate, St Asaph, Wrexham, for 44 years.
Another estate worker, Raymond Williams, of Caernarfon, Gwynedd, with 46 years service, worked on the Vaynol Estate, Bangor, for 15 years and has spent a further 31 years working at Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor, Glynllifon, Caernarfon.
William Arthur Balaam, of Pontllynfi, Caernarfon, has also worked for Glynllifon College and Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor, spending 20 years at each to complete 40 years service.
Hugh Gareth Owen, of Llangefni, Anglesey, has been a lifetime employee of Mona Tractors, Llangefni, for 45 years, and Paul Rimmer, of Llanilar, Ceredigion, another of the medal winners, has a 45 year record of service in farming, the last 40 years with J.A. Griffiths at Aberbrwynen Farm, Llanfarian, Aberystwyth.
The Royal Welsh Long Service Medal scheme was inaugurated in 1956 although the first to receive the award were three workers from the Doldowlod Estate, Llandrindod Wells, who were presented with medals when the show was staged at Swansea in 1949. On that occasion the medals were provided by the Royal Agricultural Society of England and presented by Field Marshall Montgomery. Subsequently it was felt that the Royal Welsh should have its own medal and 29 winners became the first to receive it at the 1956 show at Rhyl.
