Ratings and Reviews
Best Recipe App for All kinds of people
I love Yummly, I don't remember how I found out about it. But it has been a lifesaver, it's great to save recipes I find online that I want to look at later and not get lost in the bookmark section of my phone. It's also good for a vegan like me to find recipes, but also serving size and nutrition facts.I scan look at all the egan recipes in one place instead of looking them up online and finding out it isn't vegan. Plus I can look for recipes using certain ingredients I have laying around. They have such a inclusive dietary preference all types of vegetarians, paleo, plus all kinds of allergies. They have now guided videos, I'll check those out soon and see what they're like. I honestly can't think of anything to complain about. It's a useful tool for me and one of the must-have food apps on my phone. All the other exclusively vegan recipe apps , or just general apps are overpriced and don't do half the things Yummly does or if they do you have to pay a ridiculous subscription fee. The best part it is all free! Not a free app with a lot limitations on certain recipes, but there's a premium membership with access to over thousand of recipes and videos. Or it's a free trial , it's actually legitimately free, I mean it has prompted recipes from brand companies but its clearly labeled. Plus I mean the app has to be paid for somehow. If that's the only ads I've got to deal with, I'll take it!
Developer Response ,
Hi Tina Nessa Ceon,
Wow! Thank you for your awesome review! We're so happy to hear that you've been enjoying Yummly! We have tons of delicious vegan options on Yummly and we're happy to hear that you've even been adding some others you've found to your recipe box from around the web! Thanks for choosing Yummly! :)
I love this app!!!
The design of this app is awesome. It manages to pull recipes from many sources smoothly, and it's great about searching specific ingredients/certain types of meals. It consolidates all the recipe info in a clean, straightforward way, so when you spot something you want to try you can quickly see nutritional info, ingredients, prep time etc. from the app, without having to scroll through the actual site the recipe was posted on trying to find all that information (if you choose to make the meal you will THEN go to the full recipe site for the directions, but it's still from within the app). It lets you create different lists, which I really like, and you can even tell it to create shopping lists for you based on the recipe you've picked. You can also tell it what ingredients you have on hand and it'll will give you recipes that you can make using those ingredients, or what time you plan on eating something. It will give you reminders on when to start prepping the meal if you give it a time. So cool.
Seriously, this thing is great. I love it.
Yummy Yummly
I'm a major Foodie. I have found so many incredible and interesting recipes on Yummly. Even ones I've used over the years myself. I really enjoy the ability to research so easily. I try a lot of recipes that fall into several different categories. So it's always a pleasure to come on to the app and be able to research in less time than books, especially when the recipes give you nutritional information that is accurate.
However, with all the great things one thing has begun to bother me somewhat. I go to the recipe and the page is gone and that is when you go to directions. It's very unfortunate to find a wonderful recipe only to find that it's not complete or accurate. If you fix this Yummly I will give you the 5 stars.
I switch from this app Yummly and Food Network to create a planned menu weekly. I also use true and tried recipes I've counted on throughout the years. I try as often as I can to give a comment on the recipe I am trying for the first time. However, with so much cooking and daily life, commentaries can get pushed to the side. I do eventually get to them just may not be the same day. Keep up the great job and work Yummly and please fix that error page, I have been disappointed quite a bit lately from that ordeal. Thanks for asking for a review after I used the app for a while. I appreciate the timing.
Developer Response ,

de Waal writes real purdy. Save Darfur don't.
EXHIBIT A: The Save Darfur Coalition's draft letter entitled "Ask tough questions of General Gration"
I urge you to use Thursday's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Sudan as an opportunity to urge Special Envoy Gen. Gration to ensure that the administration's plan for peace in Sudan follows a two-doored approach:
* Behind Door One: If Sudan permits unrestricted humanitarian access, takes significant steps to secure peace in Darfur, fully implements the Comprehensive Peace Agreement for South Sudan, ensures free and fair elections in Sudan, and removes the indicted President, a clear process toward normalization of relations with the U.S. will be mapped out.
* Behind Door Two: If President Bashir and his party renege on recent humanitarian commitments and continue to undermine efforts at peace, they will face diplomatic isolation, a full U.S. Presidential effort to enact targeted multi-lateral economic sanctions and an effective multilateral arms embargo, and if necessary to stop massive loss of civilian life, targeted military action.
We need bold agenda-setting leadership to make sure that Sudan chooses the most mutually beneficial path, and to prepare real consequences if it does not.
Please ask Gen. Gration hard-hitting questions regarding the pending plan for peace in Sudan including:
1. General Gration, knowing that carrots work best when paired with the potential for sticks, how does the administration plan to generate international support for multilateral sticks should they become necessary? Will President Obama make this a personal priority? What is the administration doing to build additional unilateral sticks to complement the use of unilateral carrots?
2. General Gration, given that tomorrow is the two year anniversary of the UNAMID peacekeeping force in Darfur, and given that UNAMID is still only 70% deployed, what is your plan to ensure that UNAMID is fully deployed and more importantly, fully effective once deployed in protecting civilians and carrying out its full mandate?
Thank you.
EXHIBIT B: Alex de Waal's new and improved letter entitled "Ask useful questions of General Gration"
Dear Senator Kerry,
Ask useful questions of General Gration.
I urge you to use Thursday's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Sudan as an opportunity to urge Special Envoy Gen. Gration to ensure that the administration's plan for peace in Sudan is designed for the best results in Sudan, not the best soundbites in Washington DC.
Let me use this occasion also to congratulate you on your role in helping to ease the humanitarian access crisis in Darfur over recent months.
Trying to facilitate peace in Sudan is a huge challenge. The odds against success are considerable. A high chance of failure is one of the risks that Gen. Gration accepted when he took on the job. But it would be a true tragedy if the reason for his failure were not to be the fiendish difficulties of Sudan, but the domestic politics of advocacy groups in America.
Let me propose some useful questions for Special Envoy Gration.
* First, does Gen. Gration recognize that the Sudanese conflicts are Sudanese affairs which will be resolved by the Sudanese? And that any attempt at a solution imposed from outside is doomed to fail?
* Second, is the U.S. Darfur policy based on evidence or dogma? Noting that the level of violence in Darfur is now far, far down on the atrocities of 2003-04, and resembles a low-intensity conflict rather than any genocidal onslaught, and that the humanitarian situation remains under control, how does he propose to maintain and build upon this progress? How does he intend to use the opportunities presented by the reduction in the crisis to encourage the parties to reach a political settlement that can allow the grievous wrongs of the recent past to be righted as much as possible?
* Third, what is the U.S. position with regard to the process of exercising the right of self-determination for southern Sudan? Observing that self-determination is enshrined in the CPA, and that a majority of the southern electorate support secession, but that the conditions are not currently in place for an orderly and consensual partition of Sudan, what steps should the U.S. take to help make the run-up to the exercise in self-determination, the vote itself, and the implementation of the result, as consensual, participatory and inclusive as possible?
Finally, you might remind Gen. Gration of Abrahim Lincoln's words in 1862 after he was widely criticized by Congress for military setbacks. "If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how–the very best I can; and I mean to keep going until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right will make no difference."
Alex de Waal
First of all, neither has pictures with funny captions, so they both have that working against them right off the bat. But see how one is merely an extension of SDC's inexplicable obsession with overusing the phallic terms "carrots" and "sticks" and the other is a concisely fashioned list of thoughtful questions? de Waal's message shows that he understands the realities of Darfur; SDC's policy can be summed up by paraphrasing Monty Hall. In short, one was written by an adult and the other was written by children.
That said, I'm very disappointed that de Waal did not use more British English, (which evolved from original, real, American English for those of you who don't know) because I find words like "favourite," "analyse," and "centre" so quaint.

As anti-globalization protesters ask themselves, "Where do we go from here?" Seattle enters the lexicon of civil disobedience.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
By Bruce Shapiro
A week ago, anyone who questioned the World Trade Organization and the broader logic of the global corporate marketplace was spitting in the historical wind -- an object of derision by free-marketeers, a tedious, pietistic windmill-tilter to the media.
The remarkable events in Seattle changed that. "We're seeing a lot of new things in Seattle. Some things that haven't happened in a long time, and some things that are not supposed to happen at all." That was CNN's low-key but astute political analyst Bill Schneider, feeling the earth move under his feet.
According to the conventional wisdom of post-Reagan America, nothing that happened in Seattle computes. But with the crosscutting spectacles of street protest and collapsing trade talks, the political center of gravity has moved several steps leftward. President Clinton abandoned seven years of free-trade orthodoxy -- and infuriated his advisors -- by proposing that labor standards be brought to the WTO table. Even laissez-faire Republican William Safire writes this week that any commerce system that ignores sweatshops "does not deserve the name 'free trade.'" The question is not whether the terms of debate have shifted, but why -- and where the argument goes from here.
Many commentators quickly compared Seattle to the 1968 Democratic Convention. But a more telling comparison is the emergence of the Solidarity movement in Poland in the 1980s.
Like Solidarity's birth in the Gdansk shipyards, Seattle was (as Canadian journalist Naomi Klein put it in a keenly observed New York Times op-ed) the "coming-out party" for a long-evolving coalition: not only those Teamsters marching happily alongside environmentalists in sea-turtle suits but religious communities, college anti-sweatshop activists and advocates for third-world debt relief.
And like Solidarity, Seattle happened because a new generation of union leaders listened to thoughtful radical intellectuals, who proposed that the real issue was not simple job protection but global democracy, and a broad vision of inclusive, equitable society.
Those reporters and commentators who portrayed Seattle as a festival of paranoid, Pat Buchanan-style economic isolationism simply had not been listening to the labor movement lately. "The real debate is not over whether to be part of the global economy," AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said in a little-remarked National Press Club speech last month, "but over what are the rules for that economy and who makes them" -- a comment that would be unthinkable from the mouths of any of his buy-American predecessors, or from Sweeney himself until recently.
In the late 1980s, for instance, historian Jeremy Brecher and union organizer Tim Costello began a series of articles about the future of the American labor movement. Both writers have roots in the valleys of New England, where the Industrial Revolution came early but where in the mid-1980s hard-working mill towns watched helplessly as corporations moved their operations to lower-wage communities in the South or overseas. Brecher and Costello thought they were recounting how American unions and communities could fight such plant closings.
But as they looked closer, they realized they were on to a bigger story: How a radically changing global economy gave corporations a new power to find whatever locations had the lowest wages and weakest environmental laws. The global economy pits one nation against another for capital flow and jobs. Environmentalists who had succeeded in banning DDT from the United States found corporations dumping the carcinogenic pesticide on developing-world fields. Unions found manufacturing jobs disappearing abroad. Human-rights lawyers found that American corporations enjoyed the "efficiency" of locating their labor force in countries with authoritarian military governments -- like Nike's child-labor shops in Indonesia and Chiquita's Honduras plantations.
Writing first in small-circulation political magazines, then in their now-classic book "Global Village or Global Pillage," Brecher and Costello coined a phrase to describe this worldwide spiral: "the race to the bottom." Instead of a rising tide lifting all boats, they declared, the global economy has created unprecedented gulfs between wealth and poverty. Today, for instance, the world's 200 richest individuals have more wealth than the poorest 2 billion people combined, and according to the World Bank 200 million more people live in poverty today than in 1987.
Against such powerful multinational forces, American labor's traditional tactics had little power. As Elaine Bernard, director of the Harvard Trade Union Program, bluntly put it to me, "The new trade regimes are making the old rules of labor organizing not work."
The only way to stop the race to the bottom, Brecher, Costello and like-minded analysts declared, is to raise the floor: The higher the wage, environmental and human rights standards worldwide, the less capacity corporations would have to pit one nation's workers against another's.
By the mid-'90s, as one AFL-CIO official told me, "a lot of local unions were already redefining international affairs for us." General Electric workers in Texas had begun working with Mexican unionists employed by the same company, trading everything from negotiating strategies to members' union-logo-emblazoned windbreakers. Beginning in 1994, 4,000 American steelworkers and rubber workers went on strike against Japanese-owned Bridgestone/Firestone corporation. The Japanese trade union council sent dozens of members to the U.S. to help with leafleting and demonstrations; the Americans, in turn, helped raise funds for Japanese railway workers being displaced by industry restructuring. Striking workers at a Japanese-owned hotel in Los Angeles built similar bridges. Such cooperation would have been unthinkable just a few years earlier.
The important news from Seattle is not the tear gas and window-smashing. The news is the acceptance of this globalist perspective at the highest ranks of the American labor movement, in practice as well as rhetoric. Brecher, whose new documentary film based on "Global Village or Global Pillage" opened the entire week of protest with a Seattle screening, says the demonstrators "effectively reframed the issue as rules protecting corporations vs. rules protecting people and the environment." Even Brecher and Costello's simple, clear shorthand analysis -- the "race to the bottom" -- was everywhere: cited in dozens of news reports last week, uttered by Labor Secretary Alexis Herman, by protest leaders and even by defensive corporate officials.
And as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported, the week's largest rally brought onstage "dozens of U.S. workers ... who had lost work when their plants moved to poor countries. Beside them were workers from third world countries who have won jobs in U.S.-owned factories but are making less than a dollar an hour and are desperate to organize unions in their countries."
With the message of Seattle now at large in the political culture, what is next? Will Seattle stand as the Gdansk of globalization, offering an alternative vision to the worldwide "race to the bottom" the way Solidarity heralded the downfall of Soviet Communism -- or will a minor course correction by global free-marketeers like Clinton and Gore divide and dissuade critics?
The first test is likely to come early next year, when Congress votes on permanent most-favored-nation status for China. China, even without being admitted to the WTO, is the very embodiment of the race to the bottom: the worst exploiter of workers and the worst poisoner of the environment in Asia. President Clinton (wearing his pre-Seattle free-trader's suit) negotiated China's admission to the WTO, but it depends upon that congressional vote, tentatively scheduled for February. At a press conference Wednesday afternoon at the State Department, Clinton promised an "all-out effort" to pass the China-WTO deal, but admitted that the issue divides even his own party.
In the past, arguments against most-favored-nation status for China were cast in narrow terms: punishment for Tiananmen Square or the 1996 weapons-
The test for the Seattle coalition will be whether that message can be broadcast and enhanced -- or whether the MFN opponents will fall back into the familiar trap of anti-foreigner, anti-Asian bigotry and a return to protectionism. The test will be whether China activates the sort of grass-roots cooperation that made Seattle a turning point -- or a return to lobbying-
One thing is certain: After Seattle, it is no longer possible for anyone to argue that there is no American left. In Seattle, long-simmering cultures of opposition emerged with an articulate common challenge to the worldwide corporate agenda. The century's-end convergence of mass protest and collapsed negotiations in the world capital of the information-age economy mark the end of a 20-year infatuation with corporate deregulation, a cult of the global marketplace that began under President Reagan and finally collided head-on with reality in the streets of Seattle and the conference rooms of the WTO.

UPDATED (28 January 2014)
Are you conscious of the shift, or is your world about to be turned upside down? Is your brain a product of your consciousness, or is your consciousness a product of your brain?
On the 6th of August 1945, the world changed forever. An American B-29 Superfortress aircraft called Enola Gay dropped a bomb, called Little Boy, onto the Japanese city of Hiroshima. There was nothing little about this bomb. It was two thousand times more powerful than the largest bomb ever used previously. By splitting the atom humanity unleashed nuclear devastation on Hiroshima, and days later on Nagasaki. This event has been described as one of humankind's biggest acts of destruction and one of our greatest paradigm shifts.
Prior to this event, most of humanity believed it was impossible to split the atom. We were stunned to discover that we had been wrong. It was indeed possible to split the atom. We were even more stunned to discover how much energy was available once an atom was split. Today we find ourselves at a similar, although hopefully more constructive position, relating to the field of consciousness. Our paradigm is about to be shifted and if you aren't ready for it may feel as though a new bomb has dropped.
At the moment, most of us are of the opinion that our consciousness is a product of our brains. While it does seem as though our consciousness is housed inside our heads, this thinking leads to many problems. By believing we are physical, we are limited by what can be accomplished with physical bodies and physical brains on a physical planet. Fortunately, it seems as if this thinking is being challenged. There's a new breed of scientists that disagree with the old paradigm. This new generation of scientists know that our consciousness is simply made up of information and as such our brains, and indeed our reality, is the product of our consciousness. To these scientists, consciousness is both the computer and the software for this information.
These scientists have the benefit of hindsight when it comes to shifting paradigms. Based on the past, paradigm shifts can be very threatening to some people and so the messengers announcing new information are sometimes demonised. One can understand the reluctance this new breed of scientists have towards challenging the current status quo too quickly. On the other hand, change can be very profitable to those that are capable of exploiting it.
In 2012 Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for their work in quantum computing. This was a very interesting development for me because quantum computing depends on the idea that the world itself is a kind of computer. Winning a Nobel Prize is a big deal and could pocket you more than £790 000.00. That's quite a financial incentive, not to mention the fame and prestige that goes along with being awarded a Nobel Prize.
Many scientists dream of becoming a Nobel Laureate as it's a career builder. I'm sure there are a great many brilliant scientists working hard at demonstrating that consciousness is information. As such, it can only be a matter of time for this new generation of scientists to enlighten us with their research on consciousness. In fact, it's already happening. Actually, it would seem that this has been hinted at for quite some time.
In 1931 Max Planck said "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness". In 1944 he said "As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such". If there is no such thing as matter, is it all just information?
In 1950, Albert Einstein wrote: "A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe", a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security". He also famously said that reality was an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. If reality is an illusion, could it all just be information?
The latest generation of scientists are becoming more vocal. Tom Campbell of "My Big TOE" fame is a prime example, although his motive clearly isn't profit. The information atom bomb hasn't hit the ground yet, but it's hurtling towards us at the speed of thought. It's just a matter of time before the power of this concept hits home and changes everything as we know it. The chain reaction on the path to critical mass for this concept is going to be interesting.
As a clinical hypnotherapist I know that the impact of this bomb shell will be far greater and ultimately far more constructive than splitting the atom. I get to see what happens to the physical when you change information in the consciousness on a daily basis. I'm looking forward to when our methods are better understood and more acceptable to a world sick from too much materialism. The information that consciousness is information changes everything radically. Once we know that we are more than physical, we can transcend the limitations we've imagined. It's difficult to conceive of anything we can't accomplish once we realize we're information that perceives ourselves as physical.
Some people may feel understandably uncomfortable with this whole idea. This won't prevent this shock wave from travelling around the world very quickly because, fittingly, we now live in the information age. TV, radio and the internet will all serve to get this information out. At some point in the foreseeable future we'll all know that consciousness is information, just as we now know it's possible to split an atom. I predict that it's going to be stunning for humanity to discover just how much creative energy this new discovery holds.
UPDATE (28 January 2014):
It would seem that some of the scientists in the field of consciousness are growing bolder and moving towards an open and informed study of all aspects of consciousness. This is quite a long list of distinguished scientists and boasts some heavy weights. I'm looking forward to hearing more on this subject!

Perfectly fall apple cider donuts topped with cinnamon sugar!
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tbs cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and spray donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix donut dry ingredients until blended, set aside.
- In a medium bowl cream the soft butter and eggs together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add milk and cider, and mix again until combined.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined, lumps are ok, do not over mix.
- Using a pastry bag fill donut wells half way with batter.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- While donuts are baking in a bowl large enough to set a donut in, mix the cinnamon and sugar together.
- Let cool for 10 minutes in pan before trying to remove.
- After removing the donuts from the pan dip the top half in the cinnamon sugar mixture. If the mixture is not sticking to the donuts, you can coat them with a layer of melted butter first, I did this, but I honestly didn't find it necessary.
- Store in an airtight container for up to three days. Best if eaten same day though.
I've found silicone baking pans to work the best.

My friends had bought some clothes from PacSun.com. So I went on the site and bought a hoodie with a slick black and white design and a pair of B Dillon jeans for less than $80 with free ship. I thought it was a pretty good deal. The hoodie and the jeans are comfy.

Williams has expressed a desire to become a coach, however, he joins the team's office staff, which means he can't coach players on the court. He attends practices and one of his duties includes breaking down video. "He had been saying he wanted to get into coaching and it's hard to break in," coach Lorenzo Romar said. "As a former player, this is an opportunity that we're giving him to get into the business. He said he's serious about it. He's been showing up every day so here it is." Williams, a 6-foot-6 forward, played two years at Washington after transferring from New Mexico. He was a reserve on the 2004-05 team that posted a school record 29 victories, won the Pac-10 Photo credit: Seattle Times – Rod Mar Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16. He also started on the '05-06 team and scored 28 points in the overtime defeat to Connecticut in the Sweet 16. "Just his presence is good," Romar said. "The guys know what he did. And his knowledge of the game is a benefit. He's pretty smart. He always had a high basketball IQ." Romar has had success in the past with former players joining his staff. Cameron Dollar played at UCLA when Romar was an assistant. Dollar joined Romar's staff at Saint Louis and followed him to UW before moving on to Seattle University last year and becoming the head coach. Romar said having former players on staff is beneficial. "It's great," he said. "They know your system. They know you. They can talk to the players at that time of the year when the players can't stand the coaches because they think the coaches don't understand what they're going through. He can talk to them from a player's perspective now that he's on the coach's side. He's familiar with us. And we're always going to be loyal to our own if they are qualified." THURSDAY MORNING LINKS: — Rivals.com ranks the nation's top backcourts and slots UW at No. 10. — The Bleacher Report includes Isaiah Thomas on its list of six Pac-10 players to watch. — Jason Jordan, who writes for ESPN and Dime Magazine, says Arizona State commit Jahii Carson won't sign next month, will wait until the spring and still keeps in contact with Washington and Arizona. — Doug Haller at the Arizona Republic spoke to Carson who said he's waiting to see who else commits to ASU because he wants "someone who's going to be there for the journey with me." — PointGuardU.com gives a detailed breakdown of Arizona's first few days of practice and says point guard MoMo Jones has slimmed down drastically.

'National Employee Health & Fitness Day' is formally celebrated on the third Wednesday in May but in 2011 the observance has been extended to an entire month-long initiative to encourage sustainable, healthy lifestyles. That means Employee Health and Fitness Month (May) is right around the corner! It was created to promote the benefits of physical activity and to establish and maintain healthy habits at work.
Why should employers initiate wellness and fitness programs within their organization?
Employees spend a half of their active time (or more) at work. Many employees are in sedentary roles where little to no physical exertion is necessary. By instituting wellness programs in your company, even through one-day-only celebrations such as National Employee Health and Fitness Day, a positive impact can be made. There are many benefits to both employers and employees through corporate sponsored health and wellness initiatives. It is a true win-win!
Worksite wellness programs have been shown to benefit the employer through:
- Enhanced employee productivity
- Improved health care costs
- Reduced employee absenteeism
- Increased team morale and well-being among employees
- Decreased rates of illness and injuries
These programs benefit employees by:
- Lowering stress levels
- Increasing well-being, self-image, andself-esteem
- Improving physical fitness
- Increasing stamina
- Increasing job satisfaction
- Potentially reducing weight
How Can My Company Promote This Program?
The goal is to offer something for everyone, make itappealing and very accessible. Of course, you can't please everyone but by offering a variety of small components, you can encourage wide participation.
- Sponsor a healthy breakfast or lunch
- Leave a piece of fruit at every employee's workstation
- Host a "fitness walk" during lunch breaks – getthe CEO to lead the walk!
- Encourage employees to hand deliver messages rather than using e-mail or voicemail when possible
- Provide complimentary onsite health screenings (healthrisk assessments, basic fitness screens, physical exams, etc.)
- Invite a fitness instructor to offer before orafter work demonstrations
- Speak with your benefits provider to see ifthere are any discounts or reimbursements that can be used with a gymmembership, personal trainer, or nutritionist consultation
- Encourage a smoking cessation initiative

Forgive my disappearance from the blogging world for the past (one, two…) THREE months! And without warning too.
Here it is: I'm sorry.
My explanation? I'm a homeschooled highschooler wrapping up the school year! (You fellow homeschooled highschoolers know what I'm talking about!) Talent shows, raising ducks, piano playing, listening to vinyl records, reading about Genghis and Kublai Khan, watching God's Not Dead, doing laundry, memorizing Scripture, eating Costa Rican chocolate, playing Maria in the Sound of Music… you know, the normal stuff that keeps most people's schedules packed.
As for me, I love action. In my opinion, a busy schedule is just about as fun as it gets. I love activities and engagements, back-to-back. Nothing wrong with that… unless I forget to make time for what really matters.
I've seen it happen time and time again in my own life, and you can probably relate. My Bible time with God goes from fifteen minutes to fifteen seconds… and it somehow stays that way for a few days. I waste time doing unimportant things and I neglect spending time saturating my mind in the Word.
In my book, The Greatest Book You've Never Read, I talked about spiritual starvation:
Has it ever happened that you are lying in your bed at the end of a long day at the end of a long week, not quite asleep yet and silently thinking to yourself, when all of a sudden you realize something—you forgot to eat all week!…again! Man, that really slipped your mind. Oh well, at least tomorrow you'll eat your scheduled Sunday morning family breakfast—it is a tradition, after all. You usually nibble on a light breakfast: a little pancake, half a stick of bacon, and, if you have room, a donut hole or two. The rest of the week, you usually forget to eat because you're so busy, and you just don't have the time. If you do happen to remember, you fish a cold french fry out of a box of leftovers, and just leave it at that.
You may be thinking, What?! This is completely unrealistic. How do you forget to eat?! The truth is, this example isn't so far-fetched. True, we couldn't go a week without physical food and not acknowledge tremendous pains and symptoms that our bodies send us, because our bodies need that food to live. Yet, as unrealistic as it sounds, the majority of proclaimed Christians on earth follow this pattern. No, no… they eat the food on their dinner plates. Their stomachs growl and hunger pains flood in if they don't. But what slips their minds is their spiritual food. What is spiritual food? It's the nourishment we get from reading the Word. It's like vitamins for our spirit. It's reading the Bible. Someone might go to church for two hours on Sunday mornings, but how is anybody whose spirit longs for a real relationship with God supposed to withstand such terrible starvation time and time again?
Whether it's an active school, sports, work, or social life that prevents designated meal times to fill the spiritual food tank, Bible reading doesn't seem to take high priority as its rank. Yeah, we have a spiritual breakfast on Sunday mornings, but look at it this way: If, out of the seven days in a week, we starve for six days and eat on the seventh, how is our health going to be affected? For better or for worse? Hands down, our health is going to plummet to the floor. We'll be as skinny as wires and as transparent as glasses of water… if even that. You don't suppose the 'spiritual person' of an inconsistent Bible reader could look like this miserable and famished being? I wonder.
And sure enough, my spiritual health does suffer! I often find myself acting without thinking and going with fleshly impulses when the Word isn't fresh on my mind!
Thankfully, with God's help, I can recover and get back into the groove of Bible reading.
Don't forget to leave a comment today letting me hear your thoughts! Or, send me a message in the Contact section. Have you read The Greatest Book You've Never Read yet? Take the survey in the My Book section. Subscribe to Everything Pretty Much at the bottom of any page!
It's good to be back! Enjoy your week! =)
Your friend, Marjorie
I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. {Psalm 119:11 NLT}
One of my new favorite quotes:
The Bible will be self-authenticating to you. It will find you at your deepest depths. You will know it is inspired, for you will find it inspiring. You will know God has gone into it, for God comes out of it. It is a revelation, for it reveals. It is an inexhaustible mine. You think you have exhausted it, and then you put down the shaft of meditation and strike new veins of rich ore. {E. Stanley Jones}

Tax Collections Jump in India
July 10, 2012 Taxation in India
NEW DELHI – Tax collections in India are continuing to grow despite reduced economic expansion in the country and a drop in collections of wealth and securities taxes.
On July 9th the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) of India released a report on the collection of direct taxes over the April – June quarter, showing that the growth of tax collections has slowed down since last year but is still positive.
According to the Centre, the slowdown of industrial expansion and economic activity in India is being reflected in the collection of taxes, but overall tax revenues are still buoyant due to a tightening of the rules for tax refunds.
Gross direct tax collections over the three months between April and June reached INR 1.1 trillion, growing by 6.7 percent compared to the same period in last year. However, net tax collections rose by 47.16 percent compared to the same period last year, as the Centre saw a 42.59 percent decline in tax refund payments over the quarter.
The Centre has already commented on the reduction in refund payments, saying that during the current fiscal year the total of refund payments will be well below the INR 950 billion of payments made over the course of the previous fiscal year.
The increased gross tax collections were attributed to a 3.48 percent rise in corporate taxes, and a 13 percent increase in the collection of personal income taxes. However, the report also showed that collections of wealth tax and securities transaction tax fell, with decreases of 3.03 percent and 0.52 percent respectively.

I was in fourth grade when we got a dog. I was terrified of dogs, and this was not a very welcome idea in my little mind. I saw dogs as crazy creatures, and I was not into owning one. Or playing with one. Or petting one. Not even seeing one. I was a weird, anti-dog child. This all changed when we got Merlot, a beautiful solid ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She was loving, kind, and fun.
As Merlot got older, my dad became her clear favorite in the family. He would always whistle for her when we would get home. I couldn't whistle, so instead I would proudly shout, "Sissle can't whistle, but she's home!" as my own way of showing up his whistling talents. No matter what, she would always run to my dad, always embracing his ears before anything else. When we would leave town, my dad would be heartbroken over dropping Merlot off at the doggie sitter. He would call daily to check on how she was doing. And when we got back, he would be the one she was most excited to see. We all had a special, unique bond with Merlot, but mainly my dad.
Three months after I started college, we unexpectedly lost Merlot to heart failure. We knew she was sick, but not sick enough to die. There is a big difference there. When she did die, it ripped my heart out of my chest. I never understood when people talked about the magnitude of pain that ensues from losing a dog. I mean, it's a dog. There is no human connection. Although there is no human connection, losing Merlot taught me that there is an indescribably strong connection nevertheless. Losing a dog hurt so much more than my parents or I ever imagined.
But it's not the same as losing a parent.
You are supposed to lose your dog. Dogs have an incredible purpose to fulfill, especially to young kids, in teaching us about love, responsibility, and patience. They are so good at fulfilling this purpose that they also leave our world much quicker than humans do. It's common for people beginning college to have to say goodbye to their dogs they got in childhood at that same time. As much as I loved Merlot, I knew her life would not last long from the day we got her. Quite frankly, it sucks, but that is the mortal reality of owning pets.
I cannot say the same about my dad. His life was not over in the same way Merlot's was. He still had roles to fulfill of being an eventual father-in-law and a granddaddy. He still had dreams to accomplish and created plans left unfulfilled. Losing my dad at twenty years old, well, that left me unfulfilled. It plagues my mind every day.
I just finished my first week at my new school. This is something I talked about doing for so long that I wonder if my dad questioned when it would happen. When he passed away, I didn't even know when it would happen. I remember the first time I came to visit this school for a college tour was at the end of our college road trip before my senior year of high school. My dad could not believe how perfect it was. It was everything I had ever wanted, and it was just within reach.
For my first assignment in my advanced writing course, we had to write the story of the most impactful thing to happen to us. I think you can guess what I chose to write for mine. During my conference of sharing this with my teacher, he shared with me the very essence of this posting: you're supposed to lose your dog. At this point in life, that is a natural thing. At this point in life, losing a parent is not a natural thing. That comparative idea hit me like a ton of bricks.
Long story short, it took me a few extra years to get here (and that's okay). If it wasn't for my initial inspiration, anxiety, and my dad getting sick, I would never have made the leap. Now that I am here with my first week under my belt, I cannot believe it. Everything about this university, my living situation, and the city fulfills me in a way I have never felt before. The missing piece in all of this (and in the rest of my life, I suspect) is my dad. He was the cell phone guy. He was so easy to reach and talk to about anything. Not being able to pick up the phone and having the ease of doing that might hurt the worst of all.
Of course I have plenty of amazing people to share all of this with, and of course I am beyond grateful for all the love I have gotten from those people uniquely. It's not the same as the specific granules of encouragement my dad would give, though. He saw the world differently, and he processed it in his own way. What rips at my heart the most is knowing I cannot imitate whatever it is he would say or however it is he would react. The only thing possible is allowing my imagination to run wild.
Without him, it's not the same. Nothing is the same. You're not supposed to lose your dad.
At least not yet.

Two other wildfires meanwhile continued to scorch their way toward the Pacific Ocean in Ventura County, prompting evacuations of Malibu, a Cal State University campus and a naval base. "The magnitude of the destruction that we are seeing is really, again, unbelievable and heartbreaking, and our, our hearts go out to everybody who has been affected by this and impacted," Mark Ghilarducci, director of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, said in a Friday morning news conference live-streamed on Facebook. Butte County Sheriff-Coroner Kory L. Honea reported Friday that five people have been found dead in the area of Edgewood Lane in Paradise. Their bodies were found in vehicles that the sheriff said "were overcome by the Camp Fire," and were too badly burned to identify yet. Ghilarducci said in an earlier news conference that public safety personnel are so busy trying to fight the rapidly growing infernos and evacuating residents that they don't yet know the full extent of the loss of life and property. He did say he was not aware… [Read full story]

Possibly I ought to have gone to a salvage firm to seek out some cupboards that have been constructed within the 1880's! But as a substitute of taking care of the House Depot customer, they dismiss problems akin to those we have now and proceed to reap the advantages of being a vendor for Residence Depot.
