When the fire begins, Michael O'Halleran is the chief on duty as a series of daring rescues punctuate the terror of a building too tall to have a fire successfully fought from the ground.

As I write this, we are in a holding pattern above the DFW metroplex. We should land in a hour...our fingers are crossed. I don't often mind airplane delays, realizing that things breakdown and don't work and we are all subject to Mother Nature's inclination for each day, but when I am done with a trip, I am done. I want to put my feet on some ground and do more silly married things. Honeymoons most certainly get the newlywed couple excited for whatever this marriage thing is, and we are most certainly excited to do some more figuring out together. One thing we realized over our trip is that we haven't a clue what our marriage will be like. We know our parents, our grandparents, our friends, but each is its own, each completely different, and we have joined the club of couples not knowing, figuring out, being married. We want to be on land, married and happy. (Plane, land soon, please.)
Q: Favorite part of Portland?
B: All the places that harbors creativity like Beam and Anchor, Tanner Goods, Poler Outdoor Stuff, etc. It was very inspiring and fueled my desire to learn crafts. Also I loved the rain and all the green that it brought. Close second: Multnomah Falls and the impromptu hike to the top of the falls.
M: I love the homey feel of the Hawthorne District (the neighborhoods are gorgeous and welcoming), but the small amount of time we spent around Washington Park was my favorite area, coupled with anywhere located near a good coffee shop.
Q: Favorite moment of the trip?
B: Pulling the trigger on my boots (Broken-Homme Davis boots).
M: As I have said before, I am a planner, and it is hard for me to really take in a moment, breathe deep, and embrace what is before me. This trip, and having Byron by my side, allowed me to enjoy moments more fully, being more present in them. There were several moments where we were walking the streets and holding hands, and of the whole trip, those are my favorites. One specifically, was being held, and nuzzling closer at the top of Multnomah falls. I will hold firm to my belief that there is some correlation between elevation and elation.
Q: Best meal of the trip?
B: Tasty N Alder
M: Agreed. Confession: I was a TOTAL carnivore on this trip. Last night, we ate at this family-style joint that listed what farms their meat came from, (As B found out, that ounce of knowledge plus a quick google search is all it takes for me to order it.) homemade everything and mixed flavors like that adorable Ratatouille. PDX restaurants, I love your use of local vendors and market foods! We feasted on bread and butter, grilled asparagus, yellow potatoes, whole, not mashed, he, the ribeye steak, I the apple brined pork chop, served on a cornbread/pancake-esque delicacy. And I topped off my meal with a "grown ass milkshake," check the website, I am not lying.
Q: Three words to describe the honeymoon...
B: Beautiful. Inspiring. Relaxing.
M: New. Educational. Delightful.
Q: Is the honeymoon phase over?
B: No (shakes head).
M: NEVER. Not now, anyway!
Landed! (With enough service to post.) Pictures to come soon!

Devotional Blog:
Burdens, 03/02/2012, Galatians 6:1-5, Romans 15:1-7
Are you a worry wort? I can be. I can worry about the most inane irrelevant things sometimes. Things I cannot control I worry about…I'm absolutely ridiculous sometimes, keeping myself awake at night worrying about things that are utterly pointless to worry about. And I worry about them at the MOST inopportune times as well…such as when I am taking off in a plane and I'm like–huh what if we crash? It's really dumb as the statistics support me getting pwnd by so many other causes before dying in a plane crash (1 in 7,032-lifetime odds, Source).
I find it funny that in the same source I have a 1 in 120,864 chance of dying by being pwnd by someones dog. In their wording–"bitten or struck by dog". Ya that's right, don't you just hate it when Mitzy comes up to you and 'bitch slaps' you, haha, really bad joke–but really one day, her strike could kill you!
I digress…I think I've made my point about pointless worrying.

Labour & European Law Review
11 April 2013
In May 2012, the Home Secretary Theresa May announced a review of the public sector equality duty. This brought forward a review of the Equality Act (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011, which is now combined with a review of the general duty.
When investigating allegations of serious misconduct, employers must hold a genuine belief in the person's guilt based on reasonable grounds and follow a reasonable investigation.
The Employment Rights Act 1996 states that an employee is deemed to have been dismissed by reason of redundancy if the dismissal is "wholly or mainly" attributable to the redundancy.

What Makes an Ideal Business Phone Service Provider?
With the importance of communication in any company or business, it is easy to conclude just how essential Florida Telephone companies are to the growth of businesses which may include famous brands like Polycom Phone Systems and VoiceOnyx. With the emergence of this type of companies, you do not need to worry about where your business or office is located since effective and renowned providers would definitely be more than capable in making your business operations more convenient, efficient and effective than ever.
Even with a vast array of clients and regardless of the area which they belong to, you'd definitely be able to serve them better with the integration of phone services to your business, aside from improving communication within your organization. By integrating phone services, you'll also be able to keep serving your clients even if blackouts happen in your area, guaranteeing an even more empowered reliability that will surely boost your business' reputation.
It is apparent that even if innovation moves forward to considerable heights, business phone services would remain essential parts of a business, especially with the fact that they provide practical solutions brimming with superior advantages. You should remember though, that being able to bask on superb advantages through phone services, would only be possible if you discover more outstanding companies and not just lower-tier ones. Below are some of the ideal characteristics of a phone service provider which you have to look out for, as they may help you see and decide whether to hire a specific phone service provider or not.
Although profit is also important to these providers, more outstanding ones would definitely make sure that you'll still get the best price you could ever hope for, topped with favorable terms that will make you agree right away. They'll also make sure that aside from the favorable pricing and terms, they would also provide a hassle-free transaction from their official website down to the actual application, which would surely make your business to rise to the occasion, faster than you could have expected.
It is apparent that the cost-effective and efficient processes and services provided by this type of companies, would greatly boost your internal business communication. You would also not lack any additional help if you need it, since stellar companies in this category would also be capable of providing you with consultants you can depend and trust.
Making the process more affordable yet effective at the same time is also further reinforced with many types of services which they can provide, which can even help varieties of businesses in different industries. As a businessman yourself, you'll be able to focus more on your business itself as you can allow the provider to handle the communication section of your company.

In its Interim Report published today, the FSA says that while there are no current plans for a read-across of the RDR from the investment market to the mortgage or general insurance markets, it is keeping an open mind to where the review will go.
It says: "We have an open mind about where the review goes and, as its aims are for the long term, implementation may occur when market conditions are very different."
The FSA says that the RDR must meet its desired outcomes for the investment market, but if the feedback and its own analysis suggest a wider application then that is something it will consider and discuss "openly" with the market.
It says that in the case of the mortgage market this would be part of the wider review of the MCOB regime that it announced in its 2008 business plan.
The FSA says that it recognises that the creation of a simpler landscape for distributing investment products, when many consumers will also be buying products from other market sectors, begs questions about the impact on consumer understanding of the wider market.
It says: "Of course, firms that offer products and services beyond the investment sector would be free to apply any new requirements for that sector across others too (to the extent that existing regulations would permit.)"

Only few months back, a seventy-six seat Bombardier plane operated by US-Bangla Airlines crashed in Kathmandu, Nepal with seventy-one passengers on board, including four crew members. Fifty people died and the rest were injured. Of those died, twenty-seven were Bangladeshis (including all four crew members), twenty Nepalese, and one Chinese. As reported in different newspapers, the US-Bangla Airlines had bought insurance coverage of $107 million through two local insurers — Sena Kalyan Insurance and Sadharan Bima Corporation. Of the total amount, $7 million coverage is for aircraft and $100 million for passenger liabilities. Reportedly the State-owned general insurer, Sadharan Bima Corporation has committed to pay an initial US$4.2 million (or BDT346 million) as compensation after collecting the funds from the overseas insurance firms for the ill-fated US-Bangla plane crash victims and their successor family members.
The injured passengers and legal successors of deceased passengers of the US-Bangla plane accident finally received their compensation this week. The cheques for the said payment were handed over on this August 6, 2018 (Monday) to the legal successors of six deceased Bangladeshi passengers, namely Md. Nuruzzaman, S M Mahmudur Rahman, FH Priok, Foysal Ahmed, Prithula Rashid and KHM Shafey. One injured Bangladeshi passenger (Sheikh Rashed Rubayet) of this accident also got the payment of compensation on that day. The event was held at the auditorium of Sena Kalyan Sangstha. The event was conducted by Brig. Gen. (rtd.) Shafique Shamim, psc, Managing Director & CEO of Sena Kalyan Insurance Co. Ltd. The Chairman of Insurance Development Regulatory Authority (IDRA) was also present there and he said that this effort of the US-Bangla Airlines to make this payment without delay should be appreciated. In his experience, he found that the insurance company of the US-Bangla is making the payment at the earliest possible time. The insurance and aviation law expert, Barrister Al Amin Rahman, who is an Advocate of Bangladesh Supreme Court and partner of the law firm, FM Associates, said that the compensation payment has been fixed following the international aviation treaties and convention and as per the laws of Bangladesh. Participants included other high-ranking personnel from IDRA, Bangladesh Insurance Academy, etc.
Following the accident, the families of Bangladeshi victims were directed by the US-Bangla Airlines to contact their aviation and insurance law expert in Bangladesh, Barrister Al Amin Rahman. His law firm, FM Associates, was appointed for dealing with the compensation claims of the victims of the US-Bangla plane crash. They were responsible for liaising with the affected families and all other concerned authorities and also for accomplishment of numerous succession suits for the successors of the deceased victims of this accident. These succession cases were done in different districts of Bangladesh. Mr. Al Amin Rahman and his team finally assisted in disbursement of the insured payments to the family members of the victims on that day at the event. Another law firm in Nepal was also appointed to assist in the payment disbursement process. Premier Bank Limited, Bangladesh was the banking partner of the US-Bangla Airlines for the payment of the insured amount and supported in payment of approximately half a million dollars to the family members of the victims.

It's 2 a.m
4:30 a.m
Couldn't sleep. Wide awake, could hear her own brain buzzing out loud in numbing head-throbbing bits.
It's been days. It's the light, it's the noise, it's about everything in the room and nothing in the room. It's the brain, the buzzing, the non-stop thinking chains, one thing tangled with another on a continuous stream. For the first time, this thinking habit starts to take its toll. It's frustrating. The brain needs a sleep, it needs to be shut down, out from the external lights, no matter how little.
Out of temperament. Under the weather. Over-thinking. Mind chattering. Rewinding of a mental tape of what occurred today, the day before, the continuity of 'me' that started in the past and ends up God know where in the fictional future.
Anyway, this is normal, it's just part of everything that a human has to experience, at some point. So let's start looking at something bigger and non-egocentric.
Game of life. Begins.
First, it was a cry. If you don't cry for the first few minutes of exposure to earth, you die. Oxygen is your lung's best ally. Oxygen is the thing that keeps the flow going, and will one day determines you expiry date, perhaps.
Everyday, you wake up. Nobody actually volunteered to be 'alive' in the first place. It's just decided beyond your own participation. It is not a matter of "Do you want to exist?", you just do, out of love, out of accident, or out of mishap. Whatever the cause, you just do.
Your shady unreliable memories hardly tell anything concrete about anything of your past. It's just a blur. You remember of sentiments, how everything 'felt' like. Rather interestingly, it largely affects your own shape, your personality, your drive.
Come to now. 'Here' is an ambiguous concept. Right at this moment, your cells are dying and renewing themselves, splitting, dividing, cloning over and over based on a programmed database condensed to tiny biological memory drive. The being that is you is hardly any of your cell, nor any on the hormone list, nor any of your organ, yet, if one cell, or whatever component of you, rebels against your own interest, you would be defined by rather interesting human-made descriptions: cancer, disorder, 'troubled', sick, illness, disability, and the likes. Every single dimension of 'you' is replaced by a single word.
Along the game, you experience the external fabrics of your surrounding. Every single interaction and imprint a person, a pet, an event makes will leave you more or less like you, but still you. Internally, continuous awareness of your own being is nicely shut down every night, brain refreshed, and awoken every morning, to find yourself still in your own package: arms – checked, legs – still mine, brain – not sure, but still on the neck. Externally, the skin and the muscles and this biological structure remains, neatly composed.
Rule of life. Enter.
(1) Whatever a human does, he or she feels perfectly justified for doing it, at that specific space-time.
(2) There is no delete or refresh button. No rewind, no fast forward.
(3) Circumstances change. Change is the order.
Because of (1), (2) and (3), a thinking being is most definitely destined to engage in behaviors that would definitely, at some point in another space-time, make that thinking being wish he or she did differently. And because of (2), the thinking being is forced with 2 options: either deny your past and pretend whatever it was did not happen, or accept it and move on.
Because of (3) and (1), paradox and internal conflict happens.
(4) Behaviors are more often dictated by immediate perception of circumstances rather than future expectation of events.
Hungry, grab a Snicker. Thirsty, Coke. No don't drink that stuff, at this moment the crazy typer is using it to clean the blade off rust. Sleepy, go to sleep, unless you can't.
If the (4) rule is reversed, several implications follow:
- People would not (insert whatever crazy community-harming behavior here)
After cleaning the dust, she sat down and reflected. The dusts seem heavier than usual, the room, though cleaned for this specific moment, is only waiting for a new layer of dust to cover itself head to toe. Certainly.

The Art (And Science) of Warehouse Sale Shopping: Part 1
Warehouse sales. Just the term can sound cheap. And the prices at these sales are very much cheap. But the quality items a shopping sleuth can score -think Miss Sixty jeans for $40 or less, $30 classic cut designer leather boots usually retailing for $300, a cashmere top for $10- are anything but cheap.
There's just one thing. Warehouse sales are a mess. They're crowded, the selection can be overwhelming, customer service is nil so be prepared to carry piles upon piles of clothing for hours which might put out your back, and you're on your own when it comes to figuring out what's on trend versus what's better used as a dish rag since garments may be from previous seasons and feature trends which never quite caught on. Hence the overstock.
Note to warehouse sale virgins? You've got to work for your insanely discounted fare. But there are ways to mitigate the makings of a shopping nightmare. Follow my 8-step survival guide to build your strategy and you might just become a warehouse sale junkie.
Continue to 2 of 2 below.
- 1. Get to the warehouse sale as early as possible for the best selection.
Inasmuch as possible, get there on the first day of the sale. If currently residing in a perfect world, get there within the first hour of the sale. Or at least before lunch time when the wave of 9-to-5ers show up. You're more likely to score the best pieces if you do. However, if you go on the last day, you're more likely to score the best prices as some sales get into everything-must-go mode.
- 2. Serenity now.
If you think sifting through the hodge podge racks at Winners is a pain, wait until you experience the warehouse sale and its piles, masses of tops, jeans, whatever "sorted" by general size with frequent overlap. Or the shoe section, also "sorted" by size, though not always by pair. It's a mess. And it's up to YOU to make sense of it. It can take HOURS to properly explore your sartorial options at the bigger, multi-brand sale events, a small price to pay for cutting out retail markups. In the everyday world, patience is a virtue. At a warehouse sale? It's your best friend.
- 3. Dress comfortably.
Did I mention you'll be spending hours on your feet clutching mounds of cloth? Also consider that with all the pieces you'll have to try on to find the right fit, it's a good idea to consider dressing in an ensemble that's easy to remove and put back on several times over. Same with the footwear. Bring a light pair of heels in your bag if needed.
- 4. Bring snacks. And water.
Hours. On feet. Clutching cloth. And you've been there since 10 a.m. It's now 3 p.m.
- 5. Keep the kitchen sink at home. Bring the small purse.
I'm such a bag lady. So are you. But not today. You need all your strength to carry pounds of apparel to try on. Back and forth. Match after batch after batch. And you can't leave something with even a hint of potential in whichever pile or rack you found it because it won't likely be there when you return.
- 1. Get to the warehouse sale as early as possible for the best selection.
02 of 02
The Art (And Science) of Warehouse Sale Shopping: Part 2
- 6. Stick to basics.
That tie-dye ascot, diaper crotch leisure suit and batwing silk blouse might be screaming "hot" today but chances are if it's being sold at a warehouse sale, then that particular trend is on its way out. Or it didn't work out in the first place, which is why no one paid full price for the "look." So unless you've got your pulse on what the industry is pushing for this season, the next season, and the season after (you'd be surprised how far ahead you can "predict" where fashion is heading, e.g., military is back in this fall ... shocker), and you're able to improvise with that knowledge, then your best bet is to keep things basic at a deep discount sale. Camisoles, t-shirts, Mary Janes, unadorned pumps, dark wash jeans, standard cardigans, black slacks, classic sheath dresses, workout clothes, chinos, polo shirts, running shoes, ballet flats, v-necks, simple sleeves, and solid colors are all safe bets.
- 7. Leave your modesty at the door.
Expecting your own private changing room? Perhaps an open bar with that? Consider leaving your bottom-of-the-drawer skivvies, you know, the one with the hole you-know-where, at home because warehouse sales generally do not offer retail store accommodations. Instead, expect a room, or section quartered off with curtains, where you and your fellow shoppers of the same gender can try on your respective piles. Together. Like in a gym locker room. I've personally come to prefer this setup. I can get as many second opinions as there are women in the room and cultivate a temporary sisterhood. With complete strangers. The last warehouse sale I went to was wrought with the occasional "I look so fat in this, I need to lose weight" uttered by women with beautiful, curvacious bodies, my cue to reply "oh honey, you deserve better than that rag." Clothes should be made to fit US, not vice versa. If a piece of clothing is making your butt fat or flat, then smite the manufacturer, not yourself!
- 8. Be nice.
I've been to my fair share of blowout sales. I've seen aggression emerge in lineups over who was there first, with fights barely contained over it. It consistently leaves me wondering... what's the point?! Can't say I've fought over a piece of clothing or pushed someone out of my way at warehouse sale. Do I really want a black eye over a dress? But I've been offered a chance to try on a gorgeous designer piece by a shopper who thought it might work on me. She remembered me from earlier when we both lunged at it at the same time and I let her go for the dress with a smile. Hey, maybe she really needed a beautiful dress. Maybe she didn't even own one. God knows I've been there before. How do you relay how shameful it feels to not even own a gown to your average first worlder who takes such privileges for granted? It seems like only the ones who've been in that dark place can understand how low it make you feel. Back to this lady. So fate had it that the dress I relinquished didn't fit her so what did she do? She made a beeline towards me and asked me if I'd like try it on. It fit perfectly! The dress I gave up for someone else's benefit came right back to me. And I bought it. No fights, no confrontations, just a sense of compassion and camaraderie. More recently, I had on-site attendants, who remembered me from when I asked how they were holding up because they looked exhausted, go out of their way to help me find the second half of a pair of luxury boots I couldn't locate in the chaos of boxes, even though it was not their job to so. In my humble experience, being nice isn't just the civil thing to do at warehouse sales. It pays off.
- 6. Stick to basics.

Ventana Medical Systems has responded in the negative yet again to a fourth extension of Roche's $3 billion takeover bid and expressed annoyance at the Swiss major's "futile" tactics.
Roche has extended for the fourth time its unsolicited tender offer to acquire Ventana, the world's leading tissue-based cancer diagnostics firm, from November 1 to January 17 next year. The Basel-based firm is offering to $75.00 per share in cash but the US group is deeply unimpressed.
Chief executive Christopher Gleeson said that "more than 99.5% of our investors have now essentially turned down Roche's inadequate offer four times, and yet Roche persists with its futile and costly tactics". He added that "virtually all of our investors agree with us that $75.00 is a non-starter and they recognise that we are gaining real momentum in our marketplace".
Mr Gleeson continued by saying that the board continues to recommend that shareholders not tender any of their shares to Roche and "reinforces its commitment to providing superior value by continuing to successfully execute on its strategic plan and capitalise on the many opportunities ahead." He praised the firm's staff "who are continuing to perform extremely well despite the potential for distraction, and we are grateful to our shareholders for their continued support". Less than 0.2% of Ventana's 35 million outstanding shares were tendered into the Roche offer after the third extension.
FDA warns that CellCept may cause birth defects
The latest Ventana response followed an announcement by the US Food and Drug Administration which said that it had added a new warning to the label on the firm's CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) stating that the organ transplant drug may increase the risk of miscarriage or birth defects.
The agency and Roche noted that the drug has been associated with increased pregnancy loss and congenital malformations and has been changed to Category D (positive evidence of foetal risk) from Category C (risk of foetal harm cannot be ruled out). The agency issued the warning on CellCept, which posted sales last year of 1.84 billion Swiss francs, ($1.58 billion).
The label change is the result of data from the US National Transplantation Pregnancy Registry, which showed that 24 patients reported 33 pregnancies exposed to CellCept-containing regimens which led to 15 miscarriages and 18 live-born infants. Postmarketing data taken from 1995 to 2007 revealed 25 spontaneous abortions among 77 women exposed to the drug during pregnancy and 14 had deformed babies, six of whom suffered ear defects.
Because such data is reported voluntarily to the FDA, "it is not always possible to reliably estimate the frequency of particular adverse outcomes", Roche said, though it acknowledged that similar defects had been found in preclinical animal studies.
The FDA concluded by warning that CellCept should not be given until a negative pregnancy test is confirmed within one week prior to therapy. Women prescribed the drug must also receive birth control counselling and use effective contraception, it said.
Ventana Medical Systems has responded in the negative yet again to a fourth extension of Roche's $3 billion takeover bid and expressed annoyance at the Swiss major's "futile" tactics.

Exclusive condominium development West End Gate is expected to be well received by Thai buyers
Bangkok 16 March 2017 - Berkeley Homes, one of the UK's best known developers, in association with JLL, is hosting a property exhibition introducing West End Gate in Bangkok on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 March 2017. Set in one of London's most prestigious postcodes, West End Gate is an exclusive condominium development with prices starting from £905,000 for a one bedroom apartment.
Maarten Prins, Head of International Residential Property Services at JLL Thailand, says: "Following the UK's vote to leave the European Union in June last year, the British Pound has fallen by almost 20% against the Thai Baht, making it cheaper for Thais to purchase properties in the UK. As a result, more Thais are now actively looking for an opportunity to invest in UK real estate and in the London condominium market in particular."
"For this reason, we expect the launch of West End Gate in Bangkok to be well received by Thais looking for an investment opportunity in London, one of the world's safest havens," he adds.
Designed for Berkeley Homes by architects Squire & Partners, West End Gate is the pinnacle of contemporary London living. The first limited release of apartments, set in the dramatic Westmark tower, are a collection of stylish Manhattan suites and one, two and three-bedroom apartments, the majority of which feature balconies. At 30 storeys, the tower is the tallest of the buildings at West End Gate and provides sweeping views across London. Set adjacent to the red-brick mansion blocks that complete the development, the architecture is a beautiful blend of tradition and modernity.
"Buyers who purchase a unit at West End Gate and put it up for rent can expect investment yields ranging between 3%-4% per annum. However, most buyers put a greater focus on a potential capital gain in the long term as residential prices in London are likely to continue to rise due to strong demand for and a structural undersupply of new homes. This huge gap between demand and supply is likely to persist for at least another 5 years," says Mr. Prins.
"In the Paddington area where West End Gate is located, the house prices and rental forecasts are also positive for the coming years due to its strategic location," he adds.
Edgware Road station is a mere one-minute walk from West End Gate. Served by the Bakerloo, Circle, District and Hammersmith and City Underground Lines, access across the capital is convenient and frequent. Paddington Station is a short walk away for journeys beyond London and will be served by Crossrail from December 2018 onward. For international travellers, Heathrow Airport can be reached by train from here in just 24 minutes.
Sales Director for Berkeley Homes Central London, Simon Howard, says "West End Gate perfectly captures the essence of London living, combining the best of old and new in its design and location. These new apartments are ideally placed to enjoy everything London has to offer, from the excitement and bustle of the West End's night life, to the waterside cafes of Little Venice and the rich culture of stylish Mayfair. West End Gate offers an exciting opportunity for homebuyers and investors alike."

About Berkeley:
Founded in 1976, Berkeley is one of the UK's best known developers of new homes. The vision has been the same since the beginning: to be a dynamic and innovative company with a passionate commitment to provide superbly designed and built homes in excellent locations in London and the South East of England. 'Berkeley' has undoubtedly become a byword for excellence.
Berkeley's first homes were typically large executive style properties, but today the Berkeley portfolio reflects the aspirations of a much broader range of home buyers, encompassing medium to large-scale developments in towns, cities and the countryside, mixed use schemes, riverside apartments, refurbished historic buildings and urban loft spaces. The company has also gained considerable experience in creating sustainable communities within complex regeneration schemes and today all building takes place on brownfield sites.
In 2015, Berkeley further consolidated its commitment to exemplary customer service by becoming the first homebuilder to receive a ServiceMark accreditation from the Institute of Customer Service. Berkeley's Health & Safety record is also to be commended: its performance this year is the strongest ever, even though staff numbers are at an all-time high.
Driving forward, Berkeley thrives on fresh input and bright ideas, setting up an Innovation Fund (backed by £2 million) to support R&D into new products or research designed to improve Health & Safety. The Berkeley Group is made up of five main autonomous companies: St George, St James, Berkeley, St Edward and St William.

If you've seen Point Break, and who hasn't, you'll remember the climactic scene at the end where Johnny Utah gets his man but releases him into the '50 year storm' off of Bells Beach, Australia. Well, when we visited the real Bells beach in April we realised that it didn't look like it did in the movie. The reason, it turns out, is because it was not shot there but was shot in Oregon on Cannon Beach which is in the north west of the state and many miles from Australia.
The beach in the foreground is called Crescent beach and the one behind is Cannon beach.
If you look toward the middle and left of the photos you can make out the rocks that were visible in that scene. The weather was faithful to the movie, too. It rained and rained and that's been the theme of all of our time in Portland. This is one of the few photos that was not spoiled by water on the lens.
This beach is also the one that the Goonies emerged onto at the end of the movie. You can even go have a look at the house featured in that flick:
This was not a day for the beach so we left and had a quick look around the town of Cannon Beach whilst trying to find a place to stay. There were campsites open but they wanted $20 a night just to basically park the car, not ok so we had to leave and eventually found one cheaper, but it still cost us $15.
The Goonies house is in a town called Astoria which is a reasonably big place right on the river mouth on the coast. It was established as a fishing town, but now has a slightly 'methy' flavour but we didn't dwell.
Astoria has a cool bridge, but your time a cyclist might be a risky one – faceplant then crushed by a trolley
After a rainy night in a partially flooded and overpriced campsite, we headed back to Portland.

YouTube has now launched several new video editing tools that allows users to edit their videos after they've uploaded them. For advanced video editing remains a separate program needed, but the average user will be satisfied with the new tools of Youtube.
Until recently it was possible to upload a video and a few simple to perform operations such as adding comments. Real changes to the movie clip itself was not possible. If you wanted to add effects to your clip, the end wanted to remove one or wanted to add music in the background, you were forced to personally visit a software program to buy.
Now, with the launch of a new YouTube video editing tools, users can easily edit their videos. With the help of powerful new tools, users can rotate video, image stabilization and color saturation, for example, the brightness or saturation. Users can also now a number of effects to their videos, such as sepia or black and white background. You can also click on the "I feel lucky" button icon, perform automatic color corrections YouTube.
Users can easily modify their videos as well as their movie clips that has been uploaded in the past, without affecting the statistics and responses. Now you don't need to re-upload your video on YouTube.

Chinese New Year
Easiest way to describe my first experience with the Chinese New Year's Eve celebrations: an American Fourth of July with more food, more fireworks, fewer safety measures, and just as much alcohol. At midnight, I stood outside watching people of various levels of sobriety light fireworks and I realized just how intense a fireworks display could be. I was used to the shows given back in the U.S. where there was only one major display within an area – nothing could have prepared me for being surrounded by hundreds of fireworks being set off within a thirty meter radius. With a smile on my face, I watched the colorful explosions around me, thankful that I had several days of new experiences awaiting.
I'm almost ashamed to admit I nearly missed the impressive welcoming of the New Year. Well, it would be impossible to actually miss it here, but I did almost call it a night early. Yes, I would have still been witness to flashes and thunderous sounds of fireworks which escalated from their seemingly constant background noise to a festive apex, but it certainly would not have been the same experience. Surrounded by locals as well as fellow expats, I was actually excited for a holiday I had no personal connection to. Being in such an environment where I dodged falling debris as I watched the fireworks made me more curious about what to expect for the rest of the Chinese New Year.
I was not prepared for the amount of food I would eat. I honestly don't know if I could have actually been prepared. Massive amounts of food were presented on New Year's Eve, but it never seemed to end. Granted, it's not like this is entirely out of the ordinary for a Chinese meal, but it was amazing how much food was made despite the fact that Kunshan had essentially turned into a ghost town once the New Year officially began.
As it turns out, the people who had been standing everywhere on the street lighting fireworks on New Year's Eve vanished. The next few days were eerie in many ways as soon as I walked out the door. Streets usually full of pedestrians and honking vehicles were suddenly empty; almost every shop lining the streets not focused on selling fireworks was locked up. While I know those changes had begun a few days prior, it was as if Kunshan had become a ghost town overnight. For once, you could walk straight across a street and not have to hope a car wouldn't hit you.
I learned there were still plenty of people here, however, on the occasions I went with my family to the parks around Kunshan. When I thought there was no one left in the city, it turned out that they had just gone into hiding, reemerging only to set of more fireworks on days where it would lead to the advancement of their wealth and to walk around one of Kunshan's many amazing green spaces. Personally, I was more entertained by their presence in the parks simply because those were the times when I gathered most of my memories.
In my time in Kunshan, I have been stared at for being a Westerner, yes, but it wasn't until the New Year when I was actually asked to pose for pictures with groups of teenagers and random middle-aged women. To be fair, it's better than watching someone ten meters away from you try to "secretly" take a picture. It's not that I hadn't experienced the picture-taking before – I believe there is a picture of me in some house in the middle of China thanks to a visit to Hua Shan a couple years ago when I took a picture with a family from a town smaller than my current apartment complex – but it's always a bit strange to have someone ask to take a picture with you. I agreed though, and just stood there with a smile on my face while friends of those standing at my side snapped as many pictures as they could. Once they had taken all they wanted, I went back to walking around and enjoying the sight of families taking advantage of their time off work.
Unfortunately, a quick trip to Singapore prevented me from getting to experience each day of the New Year celebrations (although I can't really complain since I was enjoying a vacation in warm weather). There were still many things I did get the chance to see, though, and they are things I will always remember. In the future, I hope to witness more of the celebrations, even if a week off work makes for a great excuse to travel. But, even if I missed a little bit of the week this year, I did gather enough experiences to make the few days I was present memorable.

In an effort to preserve and restore the grove, the tram has permanently stopped running. In the Spring of 2015, there are plans to remove the roads and have the grove to go back to nature. Hopefully the trees will continue to flourish without the weight of the tram causing stress on the roots of the trees. The restoration of the Mariposa Grove is expected to be completed in November 2016.

We're living in a world where each of us fits the truth into our own box of understanding. In other words, we've been lied to so much that we are skeptical of what we hear anew. Let me give you an example. Today in America, when you hear the word "immigrant" does its image turn into a politically colored label in your mind? If not, then you truly are an American saint. For all the rest of us, the idea of immigrants coming to America has been so roughed over by the tracks of political bulldozers these past few years that it's just not the same as it was.

Green Beginnings
Written by Alex Alferov
I just walked away from my Madonna, a winter image bathed in purples and golden greens. The painting was at that stage where I still had a couple of hours before it's completed. It's an instinctual thing, a creative hunch.
It usually comes in the late afternoon, a time when I head into the kitchen, open my fridge and figure out what to make for dinner. I'm at a point in my life when vanilla ice cream has been replaced by Brussels sprouts. Good diet advice: Your body can handle only so many Brussels sprouts. With vanilla ice cream, it's endless.
My culinary adventure suddenly was interrupted by a friendly voice at the door. Helen Leung introduced herself as Hollywood field deputy for Councilman Eric Garcetti, a second-generation Angeleno politician. She handed me a green flier.
Roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty! Fountain Avenue Community Garden Planning Meeting. Join us for the first community meeting to discuss plans to build a new community garden in your neighborhood, located at the southwest corner of Fountain Avenue & St. Andrews Place.
This opportunity to be part of Fountain Community Gardens presented itself during another transition in my life. I've lived most of my adult life across the street from the garden. My Russian-Slavic family bought a Hollywood duplex cozied up to the Hollywood Freeway and shadowed by Holy Transfiguration Russian Orthodox Church.
|The first group of gardeners and founders with Eric Garcetti
I remember the plot of land when it was used as a homeless shelter space populated with trailers that eventually caught fire and had to be demolished.
The vacant lot was originally planned as a community center and park, but funding was not fully identified in a city and state that was on the brink of bankruptcy. So in the interim the lot would be turned into a community garden. Steve Anderson with the LA Conservation Corps, working with at-risk kids who are trained to become gardeners, and the Los Angeles Community Garden Council would head the design, construction and organizational logistics of Hollywood's newest green space. This new garden would be the third one on this avenue, making Fountain the street with the most community gardens in L.A. The garden was scheduled to open in March of 2009.
At the inaugural meeting, 35 adults and five children attended. It was a cultural mix of Mexican and Central Americans, Anglos, a few Asians and one African-American. The mood in the meeting was friendly and enthusiastic.
In a time when technology has minimized human contact, having a community garden lessens that isolation. Nine years later, Fountain Community Gardens has given us an opportunity to reach out and nurture new friendships and learn new things about the community that surrounds these beds. What strikes each member and visitor is an overwhelming wash of greens and earth tones in the middle of concrete, graffiti and freeways. As you enter, a certain calmness and wonderment spreads across the face softened by a wide smile.
I believe that this has become a community center built with green walls that will grow and take shape as we all get to know one another. A patch of soil, any size any shape, worn or fertile, waiting for patient hands to toil and plant. A space when minutes turn into hours, while a chorus of pestering repetitive thoughts succumb to the physical sensation of hands buried in dark moist soil.A space where we learn to grow our own food, share the abundance of the harvest with one another and our community.
I welcome you to these patches of soil that wait for patient hands to toil and plant. So now it is up to you guys to look at your beds and figure out your future recipes to be shared with the rest of us. Enjoy!

WOMEN AND SLEEP: Parting shots... Who has more sleep problems, men or women?
For certain sleep disorders, like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), men are still more likely to suffer than women (until women reach past the age of menopause, and then men and women share an equal likelihood of having OSA). REM Behavior Disorder (RBD) is still considered mostly a men's sleep disorder, though women can also suffer from it, as well.
It might make sense to assume than women in general don't have as many sleep disorders as men; women are clinically shown to sleep better than men when they actually achieve sleep. "In general, women sleep better than men... They have more deep sleep, a slower age-related decline in delta activity (the marker of deep sleep), and twice as many sleep spindles "(Culebras/MedMerits).
But the statistics bear out a different reality. The National Sleep Foundation reported in 2007 that only 40% of all women sleep well most every night, with 46% of them complaining of sleep trouble almost nightly. Due to the changing nature of their hormones from adolescence to menopause, many may suffer other sleep disorders at a higher rate than men as a result. For instance:
National Sleep Foundation: "Women are more likely than men to report insomnia. In fact, according to the 2002 NSF Sleep in America poll, more women than men experience symptoms of insomnia at least a few nights a week (63% vs. 54%) and they are more likely to have daytime sleepiness."
PsychCentral: "Unknown to many is the fact that sleep disorders are more widely reported in women than men with women 1.4 times more likely to experience insomnia than men."
WebMD: "According to Michael Twery, PhD, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research, a division of the National Institutes of Health., women suffer from insomnia at two to three times the rate that men do."
MedMerits: "Women are more resistant to high-altitude periodic breathing than men."
National Sleep Foundation on the subject of Nocturnal Sleep-Related Eating Disorder (NS-RED): "One study indicates that over 66 percent of sufferers are women."
MedMerits of the subject of Restless legs syndrome: "Restless legs syndrome affects 5% to 10% of the general population, increases with age, and is more prevalent in women (Berger et al 2004; Allen et al 2005). ... Restless legs syndrome is more common in older women than in older men and appears with relative frequency during pregnancy. Restless legs syndrome affects one third of pregnant women during their third trimester and usually improves after delivery (Neau et al 2010)."
National Sleep Foundation on the subject of pain and sleep: "More women (58%) suffer from nighttime pain than men (48%), according to a 1996 NSF Gallup Poll.

Introducing Clyde (Corey)/
Hi everyone,
I am now in a very strange and wonderful place; a house. I've never seen or smelled so many things. My foster Mom let me stiff and check everything out and my new foster buddy, Floody was very welcoming.
They called me 'Corey' when I was with my trainer and I definately answer to that better than Clyde.
The picture here is of me resting after a long stressful day yesterday. First the hauler, up from Florida, then into one car with a lot of other greyhounds, then into my foster Mom's car for the ride home. I spent a very quiet night in my kennel with a comfortable bed.
This morning after breakfast we went for a walk. I'm so excited to experience new things. When it was treat time I showed what I could do, sit, down; I'll show off the rest once I'm settled a bit more.
Guess what? I now go up and down the stairs like a pro! My foster Mom works upstairs and if I want to be with she and Floody I had to figure them out, so I did.
I'll be at the Cherry Blossom Festival Saturday and Sunday at the International Horse Park in Conyers, so stop by and say "Hello".
~Corey (aka Oneco Clyde)

(i) Fixed Installment or Straight Line Method
(ii) Fixed Percentage on Diminishing Balar1!:e Method
(iii) Sum of the years Digits Method.
(iv) Annuity Method.
(v) Depreciation Fund Method.
(vi) Insurance Policy Method.
(vii) Revaluation Method.
(viii) Machine Hour Rate Method.
(ix) Depletion Method.
(x) Repairs Provision Method.
(i) Fixed Installment or Straight Line or Fixed Percentage on Original Cost. Under this method, the Depreciation is calculated on the basis of either a fixed percentage of the original value of the asset or divides the original value of asset by the number of years of its estimated life. Every year, the same amount is written off as Depreciation so as to reduce the asset account to nil.
Depreciation =
(Cost of the Asset + Installation Charges – Scrap Value + Removal Cost) / Estimated useful Life of the Asset
(ii) Diminishing Balance Method. Under the diminishing Balance method, depreciation is calculated at a fixed percentage on the opening balance of each year. Each year the opening balance may be decreasing in value. This decreasing book value is commonly known as written down value of the asset. While applying the depreciation rate both salvage or scrap value and removal costs are ignored. There are no possibilities to reduce the book value to zero.
(iii) Sum of the Years Digits Method. It gives decreasing depreciation charge year by year. For the purpose of obtaining yearly depreciation diminishing percentages to the cost of the asset, less salvage value is applied. Under this method, the rate of depreciation is a fraction having the sum of the digits representing the useful life of the asset as its denominator and individual year as its numerator.
(iv) Annuity Method. Under the Annuity method, the annual depreciation charges would be ascertained with the help of Annuity table. This method gives importance to interest factor. Other methods do not take into account the interest factor while investing the assets. Fixed interest rate is charged on the opening balance of each year and then cost of asset together with interest thereon is written off equally over the life of the asset.
(v) Depreciation Fund Method. Depreciation fund method provides an adequate financial requirement for the replacement of the asset when the asset is replaced by a new one. Depreciation fund account is opened and the amount of depreciation is credited to that account. The asset account stands year after year at its original cost. At the end of each year, the amount of depreciation is debited and depreciation fund account is credited and the corresponding amount is invested in securities of some reputed companies, for the purpose of mobilizing funds for replacement.
(vi) Insurance Policy Method. Under this method, an insurance policy is taken from the insurance company for the purpose of replacement of an asset. At the end of the definite period, the insurance company will pay the assured sum with the help of which asset can be repurchased.
(vii) Revaluation Method. This method is suitable for small and diverse items of asset such as bottles, corks, trade marks, loose tools, livestock etc. Under this method the amount of depreciation is ascertained to find the difference between the book value of the asset and the real value of the asset. At the end of the year the difference is taken as depreciation.
(viii) Machine Hour Rate Method. The Economic Life of the asset is estimated in terms of working hours. Hourly rate is determined by dividing total cost of the asset by total number of hours to be operated in its life time. The annual depreciation charge is calculated by applying this rate to the actual number of hours operated in the particular accounting period.
Machine hour rate = (Cost – Scrap Value ) / Total hours (who1e lifetime)
Depreciation for the year = Machine Hour value x Estimated Hours in a year.
(ix) Depletion Method. The Economic Life of the asset is determined by geographical survey methods in terms of total units of resource deposits. The depletion rate per unit is calculated by dividing the total cost of the asset by the estimated available number of units.
(x) Repairs Provision Method. Under this method, first the total repair and renewal costs are determined for the whole life of the asset and then it is added to the capital cost to get a total value. Then, this value is divided by its estimated life. The resultant value is treated as Repair, Renewals and depreciation. It has to be charged to the profit and loss Account each year. The corresponding Credit is given to provision for depreciation and Repairs account.

Studies of South China Sea circulation and thermal structure using a three dimensional numerical model

Edmons, Nathan L.

The seasonal ocean circulation and thermal structure in the South China Sea (SCS) were studied numerically using the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) with 20 km horizontal resolution and 23 sigma levels conforming to a realistic bottom topography. A sixteen month control run was performed using climatological monthly mean wind stresses and restoring type salt and heat fluxes as surface forcing terms and observational oceanic inflow/outflow at the open boundaries. The seasonally averaged effects of isolated forcing terms are presented and analyzed from the following experiments: 1) non-linear effects removed, 2) wind effects removed, 3) open boundary inflow/outflow set to zero, and 4) open boundary inflow/outflow doubled. This procedure allowed analysis of spatial and temporal contributions of the isolated parameter to the general hydrology of the SCS and some of its specific features. A coastal jet is identified and analyzed, as are a mesoscale topographic gyre and several counter currents. Non-linearity is shown to be important to the energy and volume transport of baroclinic eddy features, but otherwise insignificant. Boundary transport from open lateral boundaries is determined to be of considerable importance to summer circulation and thermal structure, with little effect found for the winter monsoon hydrology. In general, monsoonal circulation patterns and upwelling phenomena are determined and forced by the wind, while boundary transport effects play a secondary role in determining the magnitude of the circulation velocities

Not to say "I told you so" . . .
. . . but I told you so.
For the most brain-dead Rethuglican sycophants out there, still living in fantasy world and hoping that you haven't been snookered by your Glorious Leader, here it is in black and white (colours you folks might be able to understand):
The hunt for biological, chemical and nuclear weapons in Iraq has come to an end nearly two years after President Bush ordered U.S. troops to disarm Saddam Hussein. The top CIA weapons hunter is home, and analysts are back at Langley.
In interviews, officials who served with the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) said the violence in Iraq, coupled with a lack of new information, led them to fold up the effort shortly before Christmas.
Four months after Charles A. Duelfer, who led the weapons hunt in 2004, submitted an interim report to Congress that contradicted nearly every prewar assertion about Iraq made by top Bush administration officials, a senior intelligence official said the findings will stand as the ISG's final conclusions and will be published this spring.
. . .
Intelligence officials said there is little left for the ISG to investigate because Duelfer's last report answered as many outstanding questions as possible. The ISG has interviewed every person it could find connected to programs that ended more than 10 years ago, and every suspected site within Iraq has been fully searched, or stripped bare by insurgents and thieves, according to several people involved in the weapons hunt.
. . .
"The September 30 report is really pretty much the picture," the intelligence official said.
Yep, everything you know is wrong, Dubya. You might have know that if you hadn't been so friggin' blasted on booze during your TANG days so you didn't black out and forget the sage wisdom tendered by the Firesign Theater back then. . . .

Is it ok to use ordinary white flour? I want to try and make cookies or flapjacks but baking isn't my strong point and at a bit of a loss as to what to use for substitute's. We can't get stevia in the UK, although think but not sure we can get xylitol. So I could swap sugar for one of those but the recipe says margarine. What could I use instead? Guessing instead of oats I could use amaranth?? Never had it before so no idea what it tastes like! Help!!! I feel that if I know what I could use as substitute's then I could possibly have a go at making a few things!June 2, 2011 at 2:46 pm #63447
Hi, Lily 🙂 Plain white flour is still from wheat, it's just had the bran and germ removed so it's not "whole" wheat flour. It's also usually been bleached to make it whiter. White flour digests SUPER quickly and converts into sugars with lightning speed. You definitely don't want to use *any* all-purpose white wheat flour on this diet.
As far as baking goes, I'd say it might be better to start off with recipes designed specifically for the approved grain and go from there. If you don't bake to begin with, substitutions are likely to be a waste of your time, energy, and ingredients. In other words, they probably won't work well. Once you see amaranth, for instance, you'll see that you really cannot substitute amaranth in place of oats in a recipe.
You might try googling something like "gluten-free sugar-free cookies" or "gluten-free cookies with stevia", but I don't know that you'll find something that still doesn't need substitutions. I don't want to discourage you! Can I say that again? I don't want to discourage you!!! 🙂 But maybe start small and begin to learn your new ingredients before trying to take a "normal recipe" favorite and convert it into an anti-candida recipe. That takes some baking no-how, I think.
I'm going to do a post soon, I think, on baking with the approved flours and maybe with a few recipes for snacky foods. I actually made mini carob cupcakes a few weeks back that tasted pretty good. I know others would appreciate a treat or two in their freezers for tough days. Maybe I can get on that this weekend.
Hang in there!!
p.s. Will no one ship stevia to the UK? One bottle goes a LONG way as you don't need much at all per serving. It seems like it would be worth the shipping cost (?).June 3, 2011 at 1:28 am #63455
Hi Hope
Wow you're knowledge on all this stuff is invaluable! Thanks 🙂 I shall google a few recipes and see what comes up. Would be lovely to have something snacky like a cookie or flapjack occasionally.
As for stevia I'm sure I read that the Food Standards Administration in the UK said "Stevia and stevioside are not permitted for sale as food or food ingredients in the UK and most other European Union (EU) countries" – whether this means I could ship some over I'm not sure!
It would be great if a recipe section could be set up as a lot of people struggle with finding things to eat on this diet. It's very repetitive, which I find makes it harder to stick with. Although since I'm detoxing all over again (day 2 has just begun) and I have the horrible headache and nausea back there is no way on this earth I'm lapsing this time!!
I'm off to the health food shop later today to see what I can find!June 5, 2011 at 3:38 am #63487

Hi Lily,
You can get Stevia and xylitol in the uk, I bought Xylitol from a health shop and Stevia on line. I can't remember where I got it from, but there appear to be plenty of stockists http://www.google.co.uk/m/products?oe=UTF-8&client=safari&q=stevia&hl=en&bl=/m/search?q%3Dstevia%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari&source=search&channel=products&ei=FVrrTaDFHYKX8gO126P4AQ&ved=0CB4QzQM
Have you tried making savory snacks?
Almond meal/pulp left over from milk and flax meal are a great base: http://veggiegrettie.com/2011/03/13/almond-pulp-crackers-guest-blog-from-elenas-pantry/ I will cook mine in my oven, on the lowest rung, on the lowest temperature setting.
Or I made these with buckwheat flour & oil: http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-cards/t–1973/homemade-crackers.asp
Either of these recipes could potentially be adapted slightly to become sweet crackers.June 5, 2011 at 6:53 am #63490
Thanks 🙂 It's something sweet I crave. Seems to be all savoury dishes I can have so a cookie or a dessert would be amazing.June 5, 2011 at 10:38 am #63497
NeekyNooMemberTopics: 6Replies: 46
I found that the sweet cravings were a stage, and once through it they only pop up occasionally, and don't last tooo long. The Candida will be making you crave the sweet stuff, so it's a bit of a battle of wills.
I hope you either find something tasty to make, or get through the stage quickly 🙂June 5, 2011 at 12:40 pm #63501
I agree with NekkyNoo. You likely won't want sugar/sweets this badly thoughout the diet, but the desire for sweets will pop up here and there. Especially in relation to social functions – birthdays, parties with tasty treats, etc. I've been trying to brainstorm as we have 2 family birthday parties this month – 1 for my niece (this Friday) and one for my daughter who's turning 9. Just this afternoon I put a big glob of nut butter in a bowl (I used macadamia, but almond would be good), added some alcohol-free vanilla and stevia to taste and then 1/2 C. carob powder, adding the carob a little at a time until it was well mixed and dark brown. Then, I froze that mix. Once it was firm, I took 1/2-1 teaspoon fulls and rooled them around in my hands to make little carob balls. I rolled some of the balls in unsweetened coconut, some in an ACD cookie crumb that I made earlier in the week from failed cookies, and some plain. Then I froze the little finished balls again and plan to keep them in the freezer. When frozen, the consistency is kind of like really cold fudge. Once you get your hands on some stevia, a whole new world opens up 🙂
p.s. I wouldn't eat the carob balls daily, or even several times a week. Carob is a little starchy/carby and my little confection uses quite a lot of it. I plan on saving these for an occasional treat or to use if the brownies I'm trying for Friday's party flop.
Hang in there! And get some stevia 🙂June 5, 2011 at 12:58 pm #63503
Hoping the cravings go! But occasionally something sweet will be nice for something different 🙂
Hope that recipe sounds lovely! Have found somewhere that sells stevia so will order it. All this stuff is costing a fortune! I couldn't get alcohol free vanilla in the supermarket so will have to search for that. Never even knew that alcohol was in vanilla essence! Once I know where to get ingredients and have a couple of recipes like yours I'll be a happy bunny! Have you ever thought of publishing your recipes? Things like the little fudge balls would be a revelation for us candida sufferers 🙂June 5, 2011 at 1:30 pm #63506
lol – girl, this is my 5th baby. No book writting is happening around here! 🙂
But, thank you for the "sweet" encouragement ( ha ha)June 6, 2011 at 2:54 am #63509
5th?!! How do you find time to do anything?! I'm the youngest of 5 so have an idea what that many kids is like…chaos haha. Brave woman! I have 2 and that was more than enough for me…June 9, 2011 at 12:39 pm #63587

An amino acid complex suppliment can help the sugar cravings, I take one each night before bed.
For baking I have bought coconut flour and carob flour, haven't yet tried baking with them but I am a pretty good cook, I can usually muster something up.June 9, 2011 at 6:04 pm #63595
helmaxMemberTopics: 1Replies: 20
LolloRosso is right on target with the coconut flour. I buy it by the 4-pack from Amazon, that's how much we use in our kitchen.
My problem was having nothing to eat with eggs and fish. What are eggs without a slice of toast or baked bread? Bland as toothpaste that's what. So now we make a loaf of bread every few days out of coconut flour. It's a breeze because there are just five ingredients. With this flour you can also make drop biscuits, coconut cookies, vanilla cookies, lemon cookies and several types of muffins such as blueberry. One bag of coconut flour will more than satisfy your taste for sweetness as well as bread. The bread is better if you slice it, brush some olive oil on it with garlic powder and mixed herbs, and toast it in the oven just like garlic bread, delicious. We even fried a chicken using the coconut flour last week. Just go to google and key in "coconut flour recipes" – you'll be surprised what you find.
A great 'quick' snack is half a cup of Organic Greek Plain Yogurt with a couple of tablespoons of coconut cream concentrate mixed in with the yogurt. If it's not sweet enough for you, add a little sweetener. The only sweetener I can tolerate is one called Truvia which is about twice as sweet as regular sugar.
Just be creative in the kitchen, if you're not already, you'll learn how to be quick enough if you just stick with it.June 9, 2011 at 6:21 pm #63596

thanks for the tip on the bread with coconut flour! I seem to hit a wall every now and then, with the diet in general and new food ideas. Plus, about out of food at the moment anyway, grocery day tomorrow. I'll google coconut flour recipes first!
Also-and I know people are from all over on here-but I'm having trouble finding the alcohol free vanilla? I've only been working with truvia and xylitol (stevia).June 9, 2011 at 7:35 pm #63597

Almond flour works great in recipes. I highly recommend it. Elana's Pantry has fantastic almond flour recipes. I've used a couple of her gluten free bread recipes, one of her cookies, and pumpkin muffins. I had to modify them, but it worked fine. Also, The Spunky Coconut has fantastic recipes. She uses a lot of beans and coconut flour.

Greenwood County students graduate from the S.C. Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities
GREENVILLE, S.C.- Four students from Greenwood were among the 102 who graduated from the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, a public, residential high school in Greenville.
Graduates include Esperanza Landeros-Hernandez, Emily Grace Ling, and Emily Kate Seymour who all attended Greenwood High School prior to being selected for the Governor's School, and Charles Robinson Beecher Stowe II, who attended Cambridge Academy.
"These graduates have had a unique high school experience, unlike most others," said Dr. Cedric Adderley, Governor's School president. "In addition to the required coursework in their artistic area and a heavy schedule of performances and presentations, our graduates were successful in balancing intense requirements for traditional academic classes and advanced AP classes. The Governor's School experience allowed them to not only cultivate their artistic talents to the highest level, but also those life skills such as independence and self-discipline that will prepare them for success at the collegiate level and in their chosen profession."
Named one of "America's Most Challenging High Schools" by The Washington Post, and an "Exemplary School" by the Arts Schools Network, these students completed a rigorous academic curriculum for which they received a traditional high school diploma; participated in Humanities studies, which earned them a Scholar's Diploma; and received pre-professional training in their chosen art field-creative writing, dance, drama, music or visual arts.
Collectively, the Governor's School's Class of 2017 received a record-breaking $36 million in scholarship offers. They will be attending prestigious universities and conservatories across the nation including American University, Baldwin Wallace University Conservatory of Music, Boston Conservatory, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, Cleveland Institute of Art, Kenyon College, Mannes School of Music, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, The New School, Oberlin Conservatory, Pratt Institute, Purdue University, Savannah College of Art and Design, Ringling College of Art and Design, University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Vanderbilt University, and almost every major university in South Carolina.
The S.C. Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities is the only school of its kind in the nation offering a tuition-free, two-year, residential high school arts program in a master-apprentice style community. Any tenth grade student living in South Carolina can apply and audition to attend the Governor's School's high school program during their junior and senior years. The music and dance programs also accept exceptionally-talented sophomores. With a maximum capacity of 242 students, and approximately 1,000 students applying per year, the audition process is very competitive. However, due to multi-faceted selection criteria, the Governor's School's student body demographics are highly reflective of the state's, with students coming from all socio-economic backgrounds.
The Governor's School will begin accepting applications for the 2018-2019 school year and summer programs beginning September 1, 2017. Individuals can apply online at www.scgsah.org.
About S.C. Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities
Located in Greenville, the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities (SCGSAH) cultivates young artists from across the state through pre-professional training in the areas of creative writing, dance, drama, music and visual arts. As a public, residential high school, serving juniors and seniors, students refine their talents in a master-apprentice community while receiving a nationally recognized academic education. Summer programs are available to rising 7th-12th grade students, and SCGSAH serves as a resource to all teachers and students in South Carolina, offering comprehensive outreach programs designed to bring together artists, educators, community organizations and schools. www.scgsah.org
