The Story of Cosmetics – A Must See Video!
After watching this informative video (which was posted on Facebook today by my friend Tracy) I had to share it with you all. I'm sure for most of you ladies, this will just be a refresher, but for those of you who haven't yet boarded the holistic beauty boat, this video will be eye-opening and quite frankly, frightening. Most conventional beauty products are loaded with toxins and carcinogens that get absorbed by your body and stay in your body for long periods of time. That's why it's super important to use wholesome, organic, vegan, cruelty-free beauty products.
The Cosmetic Safety Database is a great resource for finding out how toxic your beauty products are.
Have you made the switch?

This is a brilliant video- so well done and such an eye opener! It is incredibly scary to see how much chemical we absorb on a daily basis.. especially with kids around, definitely makes me think twice about some of my product options!
Thanks for the link, Sunny! I got the link from my friend, Becky http://www.glueandglitter.com/main/2010/07/22/the-story-of-cosmetics/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+glueandglitter+%28Glue%26Glitter.com%29&utm_content=FaceBook
Great video! Coincidentally, I just decided to try the "no poo" method using baking soda and water to "wash" and apple cider vinegar in water to "condition". We'll see how it goes! 🙂

What Exactly Is a High Performing Mindset at Work?
I have conducted an extensive review and analysis of over 30 years of published research that has illuminated the psychological capabilities of people including leaders who excel in their fields of endeavor.
The following diagram represents the different psychological capabilities that different major contributor have made to our understanding of the mindset of top performers.
Additional research has identified aspects of the mental make-up of high performers and leaders including: authenticity (e.g., Gardner, et. al, 2011), goal setting (e.g., Locke & Latham, 2006), self-efficacy (e.g., Bandura, 1977), confidence (e.g.,Kase, 2009), optimism (e.g., Youssef & Luthans, 2007), positive self-regard (e.g., Rogers, 1961), creativity (e.g., Pink, 2005), respect (e.g., Katzenbach & Smith, 2003), support (e.g., Randall, et. al., 1999), providing performance feedback (e.g., Jordan & Audia, 2012), positivity vs. negativity bias (e.g., Baumeister, et. al., 2001) and organisation/time management (e.g., Tavokali, 2013).
Whether presented in a list or in a diagram, the different types and number of positive psychological capabilities appear overwhelming and difficult to keep track of. That being the case, in 2013, I organised and categorised these qualities into what I call The High Performance Capability Framework. These positive psychological capabilities constitute the High Performance Mindset at Work.
Today's high performer has three paramount commitments or foundational purposes in life:
- Commitment to Success – self-directed, optimistic, growth (life long learning), creative, tolerant of high frustration
- Commitment to Others – acceptance of others, empathic, respectful, supportive, feedback (provided constructively)
- Commitment to Self – self-accepting, positive self-regard, authentic, positive focus (including gratitude to others), healthy life style
These three commitments do not always develop at the same time. For some people, the commitment to success emerges first while later in life, commitments to others and to self, become more important.
It is also clear that top performers have a mindset to respond positively to tough situations and call on five well-developed behavioural strengths throughout every aspect of their work and life when needed:
- Self-Management – in highly demanding situations and with difficult people, awareness, control of emotions and behaviours;
- Confidence – prepared to attempt very difficult tasks without fear of failure or criticism by others in order to learn from experience and improve;
- Persistence – complete highly frustrating and time-consuming work activities;
- Organisation – long-term goals big, short-term goal realistic, daily goals specific; system for keeping track of information; effective time management and task analysis skills;
- Getting Along – work supportively and collaboratively with others, ability to form relationships and to network, conflict resolution and to relate positively to difficult people.
What has been said to me by many people is that many of the elements of the framework (for example, empathy, healthy living, positive focus, growth mindset) are not new; however, the way I have organised the elements into three Commitments and five Behavioural Strengths seems to them to make sense. Furthermore, people who are familiar with the framework remark that it enables them to focus on concrete aspects of themselves to develop that can make them better at what they do.
The various High Performance Mindset at Work learning and development programs have as their central purpose to help participants become aware of the elements of the high performance mindset and reflective on ways they can develop their work beliefs and behavioural strengths in order respond more positively and effectively to tough work situations and engage in high impact leadership behaviours.
"Commitments, powerful attitudes and well-developed behavioural strengths that enable top performers to respond positively and effectively in tough situations as well as to demonstrate 'high impact' work performance behaviour and leadership capability." – Michael E. Bernard, Ph.D.

Indian Sub-continent specialist tour operator, Travel With Us, has opened an office in the US and is ready to work with even more US travel agents!
Travel With US intimately knows its destinations and local experiences, but they also know how to personally and efficiently handle difficult situations with tour participants, making the travelers happy and the travel agent's job easy.
According Saigal, the New Delhi-headquartered, family-owned and operated, full-service DMC, spanning two generations, "lives by the philosophy that travelling can never be confined to a 'mere visit.'" In other words, Travel With Us goes to great lengths to offer pioneering itineraries to India, Bhutan, Tibet, Nepal, and Sri Lanka with more depth and more complete and fulfilling experiences.
In Varanasi, as the sun rises, travelers take an early morning boat excursion on the holy river Ganges to see the bathing Ghats and cremation site. In Udaipur, guests don't just visit the magnificent City Palace overlooking Lake Pichola, they continue 12 ½ miles more to the 8th Century ruins of the Nagda Jain temples. In Jaipur, guests ascend the hill like real Indians, on elephant back, to visit Sheesh Mahal and other palaces within the Amber Fort. In Chennai, tour participants go beyond the sightseeing tour of Mahabalipuram, whose seashore is famous for its 7th Century rock temples; they also meet with silk artisans in nearby Kanchipuram, a city itself famous for its silk and for its 1000 temples dating to the 2nd Century. Additionally, TWU specializes in luxury train excursions: The Golden Chariot, the Palace on Wheels, the Maharaja Express, the Royal Rajasthan on Wheels, and the Deccan Odyssey all introduce travelers to the true heritage of India in superior comfort and elegant style.
However, in addition to truly knowing their destination and product, the TWU team are experts in planning, logistics, and problem resolution. "They are the extension of their travel agent partners," said Marta Anicic, a Tzell Travel Specialist. Marta used Travel With Us to arrange a 40-person group trip called, "Retracing the steps of Buddha." The tour was led by a renowned meditation master, and Marta was more than satisfied. "TWU arranged internal Indian flights, buses, trains, hotels, entrance fees, meals, anything you can imagine that this high demand group asked for. When one women on the tour injured her leg in a restaurant, Shyam called her immediately."
Travel With Us creates special itineraries, customized tours, stopover packages, and programs for Meetings, Incentives and Conferences that feature or focus on: Nature & Adventure, Fairs & Festivals, Ayurveda & Yoga, and gourmet & culinary indulgences. They will also arrange just hotel bookings!
Pricing varies greatly depending upon the level of service, details & quantity of private experiences, number of travelers, mode of transportation, distance traveled, etc. Travel agent commission starts at 10% and goes up with volume. Net rates for groups are also available.

The Trois Vallées (Three Valleys, 3-V) comprises a group of resorts in Savoie. The valleys all run roughly north to south. They claim, I believe correctly, to be "le plus grande domaine skiable du monde" (the biggest ski area in the world). However you measure it, its probably true, each valley separately could make a case to be included in the Worlds Top Ten resorts, put them together and you come up with an impressive ensemble. The resort consists of several separate lift companies. Beginners and weak intermediates can buy a lift pass for a single company, or even a sub-set of lifts in a restricted area but the vast majority of skiers will buy a 3-valleys lift pass. However, if you start off with one of the fairly restricted passes, it is always possible to buy a day's extension to make a special trip outside the specific area of your original pass. Each valley is made up of a number of villages, each of which has a distinctive character. I will briefly give a guide to who should stay where, then move on to the skiing.
Courchevel is the most french, the most chic, and the most expensive. The valley also has the prettiest views and the most varied skiing. It would suite all grades of skiers from absolute beginner to expert, and is therefore particularly suited to groups of mixed ability. The resort is split into various villages. Courchevel 1850 (the premiere accommodation), Courchevel 1650, Courchevel 1550, Le Praz (1300), Le Tania and various smaller hamlets. (The number are the altitude in meters). 1850 is easily the most convenient but also the most expensive. 1650 is quiet and seclude but should only be considered by intermediate skiers, or groups with intermediates and beginners. Skiers wanting to take full advantage of all three valleys should choose a more central village, ideally 1850. The lower villages are all less convenient for skiing, but are more interesting older villages and not purpose built resorts.
Meribel is a British enclave. If you want to apres-ski with the French stay elsewhere. It has two main centres and a number of satellite villages lower down the valley. Meribel's main advantage is its central position in the Three Valleys. It is ideal for advanced intermediates who want to ski everything. If you have beginners in the party choose Centre rather than Mottaret (the nursery slopes at Mottaret are impossible), otherwise there is no skiing reason for choosing between them. The main disadvantage of Meribel is the altitude of the main lift station, only 1450 meters. In an average year one safely skis to the bottom from mid-December to early April, but in poor years there will be weeks when the day starts and ends on grass (or mud :-). Timid intermediates would probably prefer Courchevel. All of the satellite villages are charming but are to some degree inconvenient for those expecting easy access to the lifts or the certitude of skiing back to the village. If in these lower satellites or in the more remote suburbs of Meribel Centre you will either need your own transport or a good minibus service from your tour operator.
Belleville, the third valley, has two very different resorts: Val Thorens and Les Menuires. Val Thorens is the highest village (2000m), and therefore the safest for snow (it even boasts summer skiing). At one time it was the most secluded and quietest area but now it is unpleasantly crowded at peak times. I used to recommend it to beginners, because it has excellent nursery slopes. I no longer do so except perhaps out of season. Val Thorens is probably the best resort for dedicated off-piste snow boarders. Les Menuires is the least fashionable village ("Les Manures" to the Brits). But, do not sneer at it. It is easily the cheapest (most of us were poor once) and has enormous numbers of modest self catering apartments. If you want to ski on a shoe string, consider Les Menuires. You get the same skiing as those paying much more in Courchevel, and still get to stand in the same lift queues as Brigitte Bardot and Giscard d'Estaing. (Oh dear, I suspect that my choice of Courchevel celebrities clearly reveals my generation.) There are very few hotels. St. Martin (the original village for the valley) is now much expanded and does have easy lift and piste access to the rest of the 3 valleys. However, like Courchevel 1650 it is too remote for anyone expecting to take full advantage of the rest of the ski domaine.
Other thoughts: prices in Brides-les-Bains may look tempting but it is a very long trip on the gondola connection to the skiing. I wouldn't recommend it except for the odd night.

Corner of the Loner (23.09.2013)
I breathe with you
lonely beautiful
you, who don't even know
how beautiful you are
far beyond the eye
deep under the surface
there where I kiss your soul
you are the beauty
and the universe expands
bursting underneath your temple.
You, who look for answers,
you are the answer.

Clash of Futuristic Army Clans
Spacetime Studios is perhaps best known for 3D MMOs on Mobile platforms, but there's no reason why they can't branch out in to new territory every once in a while. Well, new territory for them anyway. Battle Command! is, for all intents and purposes, Clash of Clans with a slightly futuristic military combat theme. It's not particularly a bad thing, and I actually prefer the look, but it's nothing ground-breaking either.
Their second game of this nature after Battle Dragons, Battle Command! tasks players with turning a bland and run-down base into a formidable military installation. Also, world domination.
You'll construct buildings to collect resources and train soldiers, create vehicles and aircraft, build and upgrade base defenses, and try to ransack other outposts as they fight for supremacy. Each soldier and vehicle has their own set of statistics and behaviors to account for (i.e. some target defenses above all else and others do slash damage), and knowing when and where to place them will be instrumental in successfully raiding a base.
Of course the flip-side to the skirmishes is that, win or lose, players don't get to keep any of the surviving soldiers or vehicles. In other words… Clash of Clans.
The overall look of Battle Command! goes a long way. The underlying mechanics are very familiar, but the change of scenery is much appreciated, and even preferable depending on your tastes. What can I say? I like robots and lasers more than barbarians and swords.
I was also pretty impressed with War Games, a mode which allows players to attack their own base with their own soldiers. It may seem ridiculous, but it's actually a great way to test out both offensive and defensive strategies without risking the loss of military forces or precious materials. I also have to say that starting the game with 600+ Crystals (the premium currency needed to speed things up and buy certain items) has been great. It's just enough to buy a second Engineer bay, which is essential for getting stuff built quickly, and to still have enough left over to save (or to spend on getting one's base up to snuff in a hurry).
If players aren't prepared (or willing) to spend Crystals to keep things moving, however, Battle Command! can feel like a major grind. Even with a series of upgraded refineries and storage buildings, it can take quite a while to save up the necessary resources for progression. Having all that extra premium currency certainly helps, but it runs out eventually. And players who prefer to save up won't be able to do much but wait.
I'm also not a fan of losing all the units that are deployed in combat. I get that it helps to balance things out a bit and prevent stronger players from totally steam-rolling over others, but it also makes hanging on to resources that much tougher. If there's one real sore point in this genre, it's that.
Ultimately I think the amount of enjoyment someone will have with Battle Command! depends on any prior investments (time or money-wise) into other similar titles. It probably won't win over anyone who wasn't interested before, and I doubt it will convert many who are already committed to similar games.
Battle Command! isn't bad by any means, but it's also nothing new – no matter how shiny the chassis on those mech suits might be.

"You never … [pick up your clothes]."
"You make me … [furious]."
How many times a day do you find yourself saying or thinking these kinds of things about your kids? Or these kinds of things about yourself:"I should … [be folding the piles of laundry right now]."
"I have to … [drive soccer carpool, again]."
These are examples of what communication experts call disempowering language: negative thoughts or words we may take for granted as part of our everyday vernacular. It's a type of language that leave us feeling more like pawns in someone else's game, rather than masters of our own destiny. Often when we use disempowering language, it's a direct reflection of disempowered feelings we may have, which commonly arise under stress. Although the statements above might seem innocuous, disempowering language can have a profound effect on the feelings and behaviors of our children and ourselves.
Words matter
Did you notice a slight loss of energy or increased discomfort while reading the phrases above? The way we express ourselves – our choice of words and our tone of voice – creates energy that either gives power or takes power away. According to Julia Penelope, author of "Speaking Freely," speech fundamentally changes perception: "When we speak," she observes, "We exercise the power of language to transform reality."
Because of its power to influence our beliefs, disempowering language can undermine our parenting goals. This happens because what we focus on determines most of what we see. For example, when a parent says to a child, "You're always uncooperative," parent and child log the comments as "data." With repetition, this cycle of behavior and response reinforces in our mind and the child's the belief that she's uncooperative, although that is far from our goal.
Focus on the positive
You may be thinking, "But, my child doesn't cooperate/pick up his clothes/listen to me!" Although this may often be the case, there are also many times when he does cooperate, pick up and listen. When we use disempowering language, we are not open to receiving this information. Negative thoughts narrow our minds and cut off other options and possibilities, preventing us from noticing or remembering our children's cooperative moments.
It's similar to playing the game Eye Spy. When you're looking for purple things, you don't notice all the green around you. The mind likes validation and consistency. It wants to be right. If we want to see positive results, we need to focus our words and our attention on the positive.
Choose empowering language
Empowering language can make any situation more tolerable and enjoyable. According to Barbara Frederickson, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of "Love 2.0: Finding Happiness and Health in Moments of Connection," positive thoughts and language do the opposite of negative ones; they "broaden and build" possibilities and open our minds, allowing us to recognize proactive behaviors and view ourselves and others in more positive ways.
Here are some tips for using empowering language:
Speak from a place of choice by avoiding "Should," Have to," and "Need to"
These words imply lack of freedom or choice. "I should be doing the laundry," implies what you are doing is either not in your control or not worthwhile. Instead, use "I could," "I choose," or "It's important for me to." This wording shifts your energy and power. "I could be doing laundry, and I'm choosing to take a walk," honors your values and puts you back in control of your choices. When you use this language with children, it creates a sense of their power and responsibility (i.e. "You could do homework now, or before dinner, you choose"). It actually feels light yet strong, decisive and confident.
Stay connected to reality by avoiding "Never" and "Always"
These words encourage awfulizing and catastrophizing. Statements such as "You never listen to me!" result from our brains cherry-picking data while trying to be right. Using alternative words, such as "sometimes," "often," or "seldom" tethers us to reality. When we think "My son is seldom cooperative with me, and he's often responsive with his soccer coach," we reframe reality and free our minds to notice positive behaviors we want to cultivate in our children.
Assert confidence and self-control by avoiding "Can't"
Saying "I can't take you to the park now" implies lack of confidence and self-control. This is especially helpful to notice when setting limits with children. When we say instead, "I'm doing chores this afternoon. I'm willing to take you tomorrow," we place value on family order, personal priorities and our time. It also leaves room for others to be responsible for what to do next. It's their problem to solve. Decide what you are willing and unwilling to do when practicing empowering language
Foster responsibility and healthy boundaries by using "I Statements"
Pausing to recognize and take ownership of our feelings fuels understanding and effective communication. Saying, "I feel disappointed and discouraged about this; it's important to me that we work together," will lead to more positive results than blaming statements like "You make me furious!" People may behave in ways that invite certain feelings, and no one can make you feel anything. While dealing with feelings can be challenging at times, it's helpful to view them as gifts. Whether positive or negative, they provide information about what's important to us. When we own and explore them, choice, empowerment and meaningful connection are possible.
Make a Shift
Empowering language can supply us with the strength and motivation we need in our evolving role as parents. Even more importantly, this mode of communication gives our children the gifts of confidence and self-trust that will help them learn and grow in a world of possibility.

Commanding Officers Quarters Genesis - Deck 11
84 ACH 23817 Souls
The CO's quarters are rather expansive. A large desk, small seating area, head and sleeping quarters are kept neat and tidy.
There's a knock on the hatch at the Commander's Quarters.
"Enter!" Regas shouts and is actually relaxing right now. The ship is quiet. CIC is taken care of and his small golf setup is in the center of his quarters. There is a light click of the ball as he sends it down the tiny fairway.
Zaharis pushes the hatch open and steps in. The top button of his fatigues jacket is undone, this being post-duty time. "Hey, Commander." He quirks a brow at the little golf strip, smirking briefly. "You got a second?"
Regas moves the three-iron to another ball as he continues to stand there, in his golf stance after looking up. "I have a couple seconds. I may win this, what can I do for you Major?" The next one is tapped and it rolls down to the small 'hole in one' with a tiny flag stuck there.
"I was going to send you a memo and still will for the record, but this is better done in person." Zaharis' tone drifts into more serious once Regas gets his shot off. "Major Rue has had a miscarriage, and is in Sickbay under observation for tonight. She asked me to have you put on the permitted visitor's list for her room."
The next little ball shot isn't so lucky. The grip on the leather handle is a little too hard and his swing is a little too quick. It pings off the fairway and hits the door to his bathroom, bouncing back toward the CMO. "What?" The Commander's head coming up quickly.
Zaharis slides his hands into his pockets, exhaling quietly through his nose. "Savannah's lost her baby."
Regas just stares at the CMO for a very long moment and then the golf club gets tossed to his couch. "When and how did it happen?" His voice is really tense right now.
"Last night," Zaharis answers, his own voice staying calm. "In the interest of confidence I can't give much detail, sir. But it appeared to be completely spontaneous. It was one of those things that just…happened."
Regas presses his teeth together and it shows in the jawline, "Thank you for bringing it personally, Jesse," he states quietly. "Let her know I'll come and see her in the morning, when she has rested." His eyes move off to a part of the wall, he really isn't seeing.
"I will." Zaharis nods. "It'll be good for her to have some company that she knows." He steps back, ready to head back out. "Good night, sir."
Regas runs a hand over his hair and nods, "Good night."
Zaharis slips back out without another word.

Traveling with [RA] Drugs
Posted by My RAD Life in Dealing, Drugs, RA/RAD on September 27, 2018
Lordy, it's been a hot minute! I can't believe how much time has passed since my last post, which I can only attribute to my switch from Enbrel to Cimzia, which has me feeling perfectly healthy. And, feeling healthy means writing an RA blog is not top of mind.
This summer I found myself traveling quite a lot. As my readers will know, I've done a lot of traveling with Enbrel, which has been approved to safely remain out of the fridge for two weeks (a traveler's dream!).
Cimzia is another story……
Part I – A Trail of Water
So, I packed up my three month's worth of drugs with ice packs and spare Ziplocs for the ice I knew I'd need on my journey to Berlin – a domestic flight, a three-hour layover, an international flight, a twelve-hour layover, a taxi ride —> finally, fridge in Berlin, Germany.
Most airlines will not help you out by putting freezer packs in a freezer or drugs in a refrigerator during your flight. American Airlines was no different, but they did give me ice in a bucket, which helped a bit. But byy the time I got to Zurich, just halfway through my journey, my ice packs were dripping and I was worried about my drugs warming up.
I got off the plane in Zurich and immediately went on a mission for a waterproof cooler and ice. Apparently these things are hard to find…. I ultimately found ice at a restaurant, but not a cooler – even after being in grocery stores and pharmacies.
So me and my cloth cooler and dripping bags of ice went on a tour around the city, leaking water every step we took. I stopped at many cafes, got dirty looks from many waitresses as I asked for ice, and alternated between cursing my drugs and being grateful that I had them so I could travel at all.
I felt a huge relief getting them in the refrigerator in Berlin – their home for a month and a half.
Part II – This Bar Has Ice…. and Alcohol
I met my parents in the Netherlands and the hotel they booked didn't have a refrigerator. For a ormal traveler, this wouldn't matter in the least. For someone traveling with drugs that have to be refrigerated, it's a total pain.
We got in late so the lobby was closed. I talked my mom into walking to a bar to try to convince the bartender to give me a few bags of ice (and, you know, maybe grab a drink or two).
We lucked out and got a late night glass of wine and enough ice to sustain me until the lobby and kitchen opened up and I could stash my RA drugs in the kitchen fridge.
Part III – So Much For the Good Seats
I flew from Germany to France to meet my friend in Bordeaux. The journey included a flight and long train ride, but at this point I'd gotten used to it and had plenty of ice packs to get me through the journey. At the hotel, I realized we didn't have a refrigerator in our room (again!), so I asked the hotel to store my drugs, which they graciously did.
When it was time to depart to the coastal town of Biarritz, we were running late. We checked out in a rush, Ubered to the train station and sat down with relief that we made it. It was about the time that we were celebrating the proximity of our seats to the bar car that I realized I'd left my Cimzia in the hotel fridge.
"I left my drugs, I'll meet you in Biarritz!" is all I had time to say as I grabbed my backpack and bolted off the train just in time to see it leave.
I took a cab back to the hotel, grabbed my drugs, cabbed back to the train station, realized my tickets were non-refundable and the next train wasn't for awhile, booked a bus ticket, waited for a bus that was two hours late, and finally made it…..
Part IV – No Pain, No Gain
Yes, traveling with RA drugs is a pain. I wish I didn't have to do it. But I am so grateful I get to travel. I am so grateful my joints are strong enough to grab a bag and run off a train. I am so grateful I am health enough to wander around Zurich for twelve hours. Drippy ice packs or not, I can only channel gratitude. I hope that RA drugs don't stop you from going to the places you want to go!
My Month on the AIP Diet
Posted by My RAD Life in Alternative Medicine, Autoimmune Protocol Diet, Dairy/Casein Free, Dealing, Diet, Gluten Free, RA/RAD, Recipes, Symptoms on March 26, 2018
If you live with a chronic disease, you've been told some variation of "you can cure your disease if you eat this or don't eat this". I've been told to eat ginger, turmeric, be vegan, go paleo, cut dairy, cut nightshades.
The list goes on, and I'm generally skeptical of these suggestions. But there's nothing like mounting symptoms to get you to try anything.
So last fall, I decided to embrace the Autoimmune Protocol completely for 30 days and slowly add in foods. To help, I bought
- The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook: A DIY Guide to Living Well with Chronic Illness
- The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook: An Allergen-Free Approach to Managing Chronic Illness
The diet is strict – essentially having you cut anything that could trigger a reaction, reset your gut, and add foods back one by one.
Here's the guide I followed, created by Mickey Trescott:
After a month of following the diet, and a few months adding foods back in, here's what I learned:
- Life is just not the same without coffee and wine. 😉 Seriously, I don't care if my symptoms flare a bit, these "food groups" have been added back and are staying.
- The diet makes eating out nearly impossible. For me, this was difficult as I eat out a lot. Being forced to cook so much was a learning curve, but I'm now a much better cook!
- I now know how to cook all sorts of meats. Before this diet, my kitchen was essentially vegetarian because I didn't like cooking meat. Now I cook it weekly.
- Nightshade vegetables DO cause achy joints for me the next day, particularly tomatoes and peppers.
- My gut feels better with WAY fewer grains in my diet. Though I'm currently not gluten free, I generally now stick to rice and corn if I'm eating grains.
- I have continued to eat more vegetables, meat, fermented foods and kombucha and feeling better for it. Most mornings, I still make myself a green smoothie to start the day.
I'm not about to tell you this diet will cure you. I'm feeling better, but I think that's largely due to a change in medication (switching from Enbrel to Cimzia). Adding the "light" version of this diet I've landed on to my lifestyle keeps me healthy and makes me feel good. I recommend testing it for yourself and would love to hear if you have experience with this diet in the comments!
Living with MS

Back Here Again
Posted by My RAD Life in Alternative Medicine, Dairy/Casein Free, Dealing, Diet, Doctors, Drugs, Gluten Free, RA/RAD, Symptoms on May 31, 2017
"I just don't know how much pain I'm expected to endure," I confided to my friend.
And so, I had to admit to myself that I've been living with more pain, more morning stiffness, more burning sensations in my joints waking me up at night than I was willing to tolerate.
Because the pain is scary. It makes me think of my X-rays when I first got diagnosed, showing the pain that I had ignored had turned into bone erosions – permanent damage.
And because the pain is exhausting. Emotionally and physically exhausting. Invading my thoughts throughout the day. Throbbing right wrist, stiff left pinky, swollen left ankle, burning right elbow — Oh, was I supposed to be paying attention in this meeting? Invading my sleep at night. Invading my optimism that I had this disease under control.
And then I had to admit it to my rheumatologist. And then I heard him asking if I wanted to get on Prednisone. No. Methotrexate? I'd rather not….. I like a drink. I like to know if I get pregnant I won't have to abort the child. I like not feeling nauseous one day a week and shedding copious amounts of hair. What else is there?
So now, Plaquenil. A malaria medication, which is a DMARD used to treat lupus and rheumatoid disease (though the printed information the pharmacist gave me states "they don't know why it works to treat these diseases" — encouraging, right?).
Following the appointment came a struggle. Reading the side effects, wondering if more drugs were the right course, determining to also try lifestyle and diet changes.
Wondering if this was somehow because of something I could have prevented. Something I did. Eating the wrong thing? Stressing about my breakup and work too much? What if I could meditate and eat more kale? And cut out nightshade vegetables and gluten and dairy and sugar and caffeine and never drink again and basically become a monk? Would this disease leave me alone then?
And then depression. And acceptance. And sadness.
Because I'm back here again. Wondering if this treatment will work. Remembering that this disease is labeled chronic and I'm probably stuck with it for the rest of my life. Trying to remember how to feel optimistic and hopeful.
And two pills a day. And one shot a week. And less gluten, dairy, sugar, nightshade veggies, caffeine and alcohol. And more acupuncture.
And maybe starting to feel better. Maybe remembering how to have hope.
Love to all of you dealing with the taxing ups and downs of autoimmune diseases. I would not wish this on anyone, but it does force you to slow down, to be aware of your body, to appreciate the moments that are pain free and the moments where you surprise yourself with what you can do and what you can bear.
If anyone has experience with Plaquenil – good or bad, I'd love to hear it!
The Mind Body Lack of Control
Posted by My RAD Life in RA/RAD on April 26, 2017
Heather Kirn Lanier's article on raising a daughter with Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome might seem removed from my life experience, but it hit home for me, as I'm sure it will for many of you.
Too often, I feel like I am to blame for being sick, for having Rheumatoid Arthritis. Like somewhere along the line, I did something wrong. Had the wrong diet, was too stressed out, was too hard on my joints.
And on the days I am strong enough to not believe that I caused my disease, I have to live with the fact that other people do believe it. They think that I wasn't [insert fun adjective here – fit, healthy, happy, mindful] enough. That if I'd [insert condescending verb here – taken vitamins, run more, meditated], I wouldn't have RA.
Well you know what? Fuck that.
The article isn't about RA. It's largely focused on motherhood, something I've yet to experience. But it doesn't matter. It resonates just the same.
I'd believed I could control the body because I could not stomach the truth: that the body is fragile, ephemeral.
Here's the thing. If you buy into a false narrative that the body is controllable, that illness can always be prevented, then by proxy you are left with a disturbing, damaging, erroneous conclusion: the belief that a person's disability is their fault.
Perhaps the point of life was not to achieve some kind of perfection. Perhaps illness was an integral part of life's dance. Perhaps fragility was built into our very design. Perhaps fragility was also strength.
So the affirmation-uttering woman might more honestly say into your ear: It will not be easy, and it will not be comfortable, but it will be, and you will become.
Embrace Yourself
Posted by My RAD Life in Dealing, RA/RAD, Uncategorized on November 30, 2016
Here's a challenge: love your body.
I mean it. Dance in front of a mirror and tell yourself your beautiful.
Love your tall, your short, your skinny, your fat. Love your freckles, your dimples, your birth marks. Love your hips, your boobs, your butt.
Love your joints that don't quite straighten. Love your rheumatoid nodules. Love your body's quirks and imperfections.
I mean, why not?
Next time you catch yourself "if only-ing" about your body…. If only my eyes were blue. If only I lost 10 pounds. If only my face was perfectly symmetrical. And I was taller, thinner. And I could run without sweating. And eat without gaining weight. And stand on the beach as though salt water were a hair product.
If only….

Vince Russo's THE BRAND which could be both SEEN and HEARD daily on the RELMNetwork.com and PodcastOne.com, was highlighted this week by an interview with Current TNA Superstar Aiden O'Shea (Jay Bradley) and "Pageant Husband" Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore with his wife - current Mrs. South Dakota-Stephanie.
On this week's episode of ANYTHING BUT FREAKIN' RASSLIN'!, Vince is joined by Jay Bradley, who discusses his journey through the rings of professional wrestling, including his stop at the WWE.
Here's an excerpt of Jay discussing being considered a "journeyman" in the ranks of professional wrestling:
"I'm humbled by that. It's gratifying. I wear that like a badge of honor on my chest. This business isn't for everybody, man, it hasn't been easy and I'm not trying to fluff my own tail because I've been with the big companies - I'm with TNA now, I've been with the WWE I've been to Japan. I've flirted with that mainstream success a few times and for whatever happens, the timing of the issue is wrong or things out of my control kinda changed circumstances, but this is what I love, this is what I do."
Later in the week, Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore, and his wife the DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS Stephanie - current Mrs. South Dakota, soon to be Mrs. America, stopped by to discuss their relationship and Nick taking on the role as pageant husband.
So excited 4 the Mrs America pageant! #mrssouthdakota #hifromsd #mrsamerica #vegas #westgatehotel ?? @UGeneDinsmore pic.twitter.com/b0I6H4Fble— Stephanie Dinsmore (@QueenMrsSD) August 18, 2016
In this excerpt, Stephanie discusses how the two met:
"I was working for a television station, and there was a WWE media day with William Regal and Eugene. They had recently won the Tag Team Championship. At that time I hosted a TV show and did the weather, so when they walked in I went up to them to greet them. I shook William Regal's hand and he was ultra polite, then I shook Eugene's hand and asked, 'How are you', and he answered, 'My day just got better'. He was in FULL Eugene mode, so I thought . . . OK, whatever."
Be sure to also check out the latest episode of Vince Russo's new reality TV series, The Business of the Business, where he brings the cameras BEHIND THE SCENES of the wrestling promotion where he is currently working, The Rocky Mountain Pro. This is FREE on his YouTube Channel. You can listen to Vince Russo's THE BRAND on Podcast One every day FREE Monday through Friday, while having the option of enjoying the videos on The RELM Network a day earlier.

Today, with a good colleague, I spent 3+ hours on a Skype call using WebEX to support some of my doctoral colleagues in adventuring with technology. My brother in law is an outdoorsman and talks alot about going adventuring. Through the woods, trails, streams, mountains, tunnels, cliffs and mysteries of the Berkshire, Catskill and Adirondack mountains… What does it mean to be adventuring into new technology realms as a doctoral student. We covered three environments: the desktop, the personal web environment (using the Google portal as an example) and the collaborative web environment (using blog readers and social bookmarking examples).
Adventuring can be scary… can be risky… can be exhilerating…
Here we are… even in the open minded, distributed, special learning place that is our University… and I feel first the fear… and it isn't fear of trying or even fear of failing… it is fear of not doing the right thing as defined by someone else. I heard myself worrying that this work wouldn't be considered scholarly, academic or worthy. For heaven't sake… in whose mind?
I read Ewan MacIntosh on learning from failure and I know it to be true. Yet, still I'm afraid. When I started this program I said I wasn't going to do anything with technology… it had been my profession for many years as a professional in higher education. Instead, I would draw myself back into the work of an administrator and look at the value of strategic planning… but I find myself lured back to technology as the single most empowering tool any teacher, student, continual learner can have for acquiring knowledge and making meaning.
What are the fears? Okay, here we go:
? Who will I get for an outside reader on my dissertation?
? How will I pick something that can be reasonably studied for a dissertation, even as things are changing so fast?
? If I used grounded theory (an entirely different fear topic!) am I facing two major hurdles in the stages of approval?
? If I don't use grounded theory… what do I do?
I am going to give myself the same advice I give everyone I work with on technology adventuring. You cannot break anything. You cannot fail. You must experience to learn.
Oh my… my head hurts. Cogent advice anyone?

Kathleen Madigan is that rare comic with no real aspirations to appear on television, unless it's to do standup. In that capacity, she has appeared repeatedly on Conan, Letterman, Leno and most other late-night shows that you've heard of. Madigan was a finalist on Last Comic Standing before returning as a judge, and was recently featured on Jerry Seinfeld's web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
Despite Madigan's appeal on screen, her act is best enjoyed live. She has spent 25 years working more than 300 nights annually in clubs and theaters. On Sept. 16, she visits Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall with her polished brand of straight-up funny. She spoke with CP by phone.
When was the last time you came to Pittsburgh?
I used to work the Funny Bone a lot. I think I worked the Improv once. As a matter of fact, I know I did because that's where one of the servers had "Cowher Power" and a Steelers helmet tattooed on her ass. I asked her, "What if Bill Cowher gets fired?" She said, "I don't care. I love Bill Cowher." So that's still tattooed on that lady's ass today.
Both you and Lewis Black satirize politics, but you seem to be able to make it funny even to the uninformed.
Lew just goes on stage with the presumption that his crowd has a basic knowledge, and I don't. … Also, I'm just pointing out the absurd. So even if you don't know the background behind it, you get the absurdity of it. And that's the point — [politics] is all absurd. Lewis feels it's still fixable. I don't.
Lew's a hippie. I say to him, "Yeah, but Lewis, your political memories are from when political protests were actually effective. My first political memory is Nixon quitting. 'Why is the president crying? This can't be good!'"
Your recent special Madigan Again is now on Netflix. How is it working with Netflix?
They're great. I just filmed another Netflix special that should probably be out in September or October. I assume it's a bunch of millennials working there. They don't want to have a lot of meetings or a lot of phone calls. They pay well. They leave you alone. There's no back-and-forth bullshit. They're wonderful.

When creating a module, the first entry point of a module is Namespace_Module.xml file located in 'app/etc/modules' folder.
The content of this file is like
<config> <modules> <Excellence_Test> <active>true</active> <codePool>local</codePool> <depends> <Mage_Core /> </depends> </Excellence_Test> </modules> </config>
This file specifics the module codepool, if the module is enabled/disabled, and if the module depends on another module.
Next depending on the module codepool, we need to additional files/folder
1. app/code/local/Excellence/Test/etc/config.xml : The main configuration of the module, without this module wont work. Defines various things like module version, frontend/admin routes, helpers, blocks, models, and many more things.
2. app/code/local/Excellence/Test/Helper/Data.php: Usually an empty class which extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract. This is also an important file, used for things like translation, etc
3. app/code/local/Excellence/Test/Model : This folder contains all model and resource models
4. app/code/local/Excellence/Test/Block: This folder contains all block files
5. app/code/local/Excellence/Test/controllers: This folder contains all frontend and admin controllers
6. app/code/local/Excellence/Test/sql/excellence_test_setup: This folder contains all setup/upgrade scripts
7. app/design/frontend/[package]/[theme]/layout: the layout files related to a module
8. app/design/frontend/[package]/[theme]/template: templates files related to a module
This is a typical module structure in magento

Below are posted some of the vibrant color photographs from the Charles W. Cushman Photograph Collection, which have recently gained a lot of interest in the IMLSDCC Ringling Brothers Circus Flickr photo set.
Charles Weever Cushman, amateur photographer and Indiana University alumnus, bequeathed a large collection of Kodachrome color slides to his alma mater. The photographs in this collection bridge a thirty-two year span from 1938 to 1969, during which time Mr. Cushman extensively documented the United States as well as other countries. This collection was digitized by Indiana University's Digital Library Program with the cooperation of the Indiana University Archives.
The Ringling Brothers Circus set of images on Flickr depicts several trips Mr. Cushman made to Ringling Brothers' Circus in 1940's and 1950's.
Mr. Cushman and his works are a niche subject area within the greater Flickr community. Not only is there a Flickr group dedicated Cushman's work (http://www.flickr.com/groups/cushman/) but there are numerous photostreams that contain interpretations of his works:

Hi all,
How do you stop iOS from automatically downloading the high quality version of Samantha? I've deleted the voice several times, but it keeps downloading. I can't stand this voice and don't want my storage space taken by nearly 200 MB of this garbage. Is there a way to disable this automatic download or should I just leave the voice installed?
If I could
Submitted by JeffB on
If I could I'd remove Samantha all together but even when I do I find she comes back as well.
wondering the same
Submitted by Troy on
I'm wondering the same. Why does she keep coming back?
Samantha is always there.
Submitted by Fatima.Hamoud10 on
Hello team, Samantha is always there. You can stop Samantha from downloading by going in to speech settings, selecting the default language which is English (US), then look for the enhanced quality voice and delete it.
Hope this helps.
Submitted by sockhopsinger on
Hi, I think you can delete the high quality voice, but Samantha is the default voice that comes on the iOS. I don't think you can permanently remove the normal Samantha voice, only the high quality one.
Should be able to change default voice.
Submitted by JeffB on
You really should be able to change the default voice. I really don't like Samantha.
You can change teh default voicw
Submitted by sockhopsinger on
You can change the default voice. However, what you cannot do is get rid of Samantha completely. You can get rid of the high quality voice of Samantha; however, there needs to be a default voice in case you, for instance, do a complete reset of your phone, including data and all settings. For whatever reason, Apple has chosen Samantha as that default voice. Therefore, although you can change and download other voices to use, Samantha will never go away. I agree it stinks, but for now, that's just how it is.
there has to be a voice...
Submitted by Toonhead on
There has to be a voice for VoiceOver to function, folks. For we Americans, they chose Samantha. For our UK friends, it's Daniel. Perhaps the people that don't want Samantha as the default voice should write to firstname.lastname@example.com and ask that another voice like Siri male or female just for an example should be the default voice for iOS. I prefer Samantha myself, but again i'm in the minority as per usual.
default voice
Submitted by Chris on
Well, I guess it's not possible to stop the operating system from downloading the high quality version of the voice. I will have to just keep the enhanced voice installed. I am still going to write to Apple's Accessibility team and suggest that a toggle be set up to prevent the constant redownloading of the default voice. I don't want to get rid of Samantha compact, as it takes up a very small chunk of space that's insignificant. I just don't want the high quality version taking up disk space that I could be using for other things like apps or better voices. Thanks for trying to help. I guess I could change my region, but I'm pretty sure that would result in the OS downloading Karen or Daniel over and over instead of Samantha.
wait for iOS 10
Submitted by Toonhead on
Hi. There will be a lot more voices available in iOS 10 so just be patient and you will find one that you like. Samantha will most likely be the default, but there will be more voices.
I've been noticing
Submitted by Maria Reyes on
I have been noticing Daniel Karen Moira and Tessa enhanced voices downloading maybe it's because i have Blindfold RS games installed.

Victorinox introduced the pliers on the new SwissChamp model in 1985 , making it a relatively new tool. Since then it has gone through 3 variations.
The pliers on the 91mm models are opened by picking up the end of the tool, which protrudes slightly beyond the end of the knife. - An equivalent technique to the deployment of the saw.
The same pliers are installed in the 111mm models*, however they have a nail nick on the side to enable deployment, since the knife body is longer than the pliers, so does not allow access to the end of the tool.
The pliers in 111mm models are always paired with a short, end mounted, inline Phillips Screwdriver.
* Note: This is somewhat unusual as normally tools are re-designed for different frame sizes.
The following versions of the Pliers tool have been identified.
- 1985 - 1986: 2.5mm wide
- 1987 - 1995: 3mm wide - new pivot joint, handle has added contour
- 1996 - current: 3mm wide - new pivot joint, Crimpers and spring guiding groove added

Fold-out pliers were introduced in Wenger's 130mm 'NewRanger ' series in the Alinghi 176 and 177 models in early 2007.
Other NewRanger models with fold-out pliers followed in the fall of 2007.
See Ranger 130mm Series Comparison.
The jaws and handles of the pliers are a clever three-piece assembly that folds completely away in the knife handle when not in use.
Despite this complex function they are quite strong and rugged.
The pliers themselves are spring loaded, powered by two individual narrow back-springs.
A third back-spring is used for the folding handle mechanism.
The jaws have fine serrations near the tips and a coarse gripping area in the center, and an anvil style wire cutter at the back.

By Subash Mohapatra
The Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik often opens his remarks by saying: Law will take its own course.
But the Odisha police seems to be more powerful than the state government machinery and law. After a horrific incident of killing of five tribals recently, including a two-year-old child, near Gumudumaha village in Kandhamal on July 8 this year which continues to be a major headache for Odisha police, further adding to their discomfort, the Odisha police has now forcefully occupied Kalahandi's PWD Inspection Bungalow located at Kalampur by breaking in.
Interestingly, the police department is under the direct stewardship of the Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik who is also the minister for Home in the state government.
In a blatant defiance of law and the strength the police enjoys in the state, an investigation conducted by www.headlineseveryday.com reveals that the 'mighty' Odisha police officials barged into the Inspection Bungalow of the Odisha Public Works Department on 9th June 2016 breaking the locks of the main building. During the investigation it has also been revealed that even though the watchman posted at the inspection bungalow requested the policemen to show the permission letter, the latter failed to do so and showing their might broke the locks to enter into the main building.
But still no action has been taken nor has FIR been lodged against the police department itself. The Odisha police, in this case, can be tried for trespassing, criminal force in occupying public office place, assault or force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty and housebreaking.
According to the documents available with www.headlineseveryday.com, when the matter came to the notice of the Executive Engineer of PWD Kalahandi (R&B) Division, he went to Kalampur Inspection Bunglow to see the state of affairs himself and discussed the matter with the Superintendent of Police, Kalahandi. The Police Superintendent told the engineer that there was a discussion with the Ex Executive Engineer Kalahandi (R&B) and correspondence had been made accordingly.
On June 18th, 2016, the Executive Engineer of PWD Kalahandi (R&B) Division wrote a letter to the Chief Engineer (D.P.I. & Roads), Odisha informing him of the violation of several laws by the police department. He also informed the Chief Engineer that till that date, he received no occupation report in his office.
Taking serious note of the 'might' used by Odisha police in forcibly occupying government property for their use, the Chief Engineer sent another letter on June 27th, 2016 addressed to the Engineer in Chief cum Secretary to the Government informing him of the forced entry of police personnel into the government building.
As the government has always maintained a lackadaisical attitude towards welfare of the people in general, this time too it failed to find an immediate remedy or take stern action against their own state police.
After about 15 days, on July 13th, 2016, the Additional Secretary to the Odisha Government BK Patnaik of Works Department wrote a letter to the Special Secretary to Government, Home Department urging him to issue orders to the police to vacate the said premises.
Till date no action has been taken.

These past few days have been shaping up to be some of the busiest and exhausting days I've had in a long while.
In a nutshell, along with working a ton, I've been busy with some more "life stuff." After lots of nights with many prayers; as of a few days ago, I learned I will be moving on February first. With only two weeks notice, obviously things are a bit hectic.
But that's okay, because I can still make writing happen!
Today – well, tonight – was a bit of a drag for writing, as I really am exhausted. I haven't had a full nights sleep in two weeks, and it's definitely taking its toll on my body.
I tweeted this earlier tonight: "Life is moving too quick at the moment. Remember to breathe & relax. Moving slowly is calming." I definitely need to eat those words up as I know I'm going to be more overwhelmed shortly. But I have a writing job to do, and a challenge to accomplish!
My neighbours who live above me are tremendously loud tonight, so I felt like drowning them out with Evergrey's "Glorious Collision."
Until tomorrow, my friends.

I'm back! I know it's been a while. I've been busy with my website, posting there, and so this blog has gotten kind of neglected. Right now, I'm saving this blog for stuff like rants and the like. And I have one today.
Since we are in the midst of Islam's holy month of Ramadan, I've picked a doozy. I'm sure you've heard of the controversy in NYC about the mosque/community center that is to be built two blocks from the site of the World Trade Center. While legal, it rankles many, including an association of family member of victims of the September 11th tragedy. New York's mayor has come out in favor of the mosque's being built, using a religious freedom argument, as well as the fact that the proposed building violates no laws or codes.
As reported by Reuters, President Obama endorsed it yesterday as well, during an Iftar dinner at the White House (Iftar is the evening meal when Muslims break their daily fast during Ramadan).
As an aside, does Obama go out of his way to infuriate his critics while attempting to show us he's an enlightened thinker? Muslim clerics in the White House during Ramadan? Observing a Muslim custom? And all this while a distinct subset of Americans think all Muslims are inherently bad, not to mention that they also think that Obama is a "secret Muslim" and despise him for it? Where are his public image people, anyway? Now, don't get me wrong. I have no problem with a given religion, though I have problems with those in any religion that think killing non-believers is a good idea.
In any event, the President's endorsement of the mosque/community center led to the expected response from those entertaining wackos we've come to know and love as the extreme Right. A Tea Party spokesperson (name withheld to protect the ignorant) stated that the center would be used for "terrorists to worship their monkey god." (From the same Reuters article)
This comment is offensive on so many levels that I don't know where to start. First, calling Allah a monkey is one fatwa-ready statement. Second, Muslims don't even have a monkey god to begin with. The monkey god is Hindu. His name is Hanuman and he is a fierce warrior and protector against evil. Third, it is foolish to make pronouncements concerning something about which one is so ignorant. Fourth, it's an embarrassment to numbered among the countrymen of anyone who would make such a moronic statement. Fifth, just because words (such as Ramadan and Hanuman) sound a bit alike, it doesn't mean that they mean the same thing. Sixth, well, I could go on and on. Suffice it to say that individuals such as this bloviating spokesperson really shouldn't be allowed to trumpet their ignorance. If a clarification isn't forthcoming from the Tea Party, it confirms the worst fears many people have about that group.
I don't have a problem with the concerns and emotional reactions of the opponents of the mosque. They are understandable from a purely reactive, perhaps reptilian brain, stance. Lord knows we all have reactions like that sometimes. Just please don't use a spokesperson that is as ignorant of the relevant details as the day is long. You make all Americans look bad.
Finally: Dude! Lookit that big club-like thingy Hanuman has! And he looks pretty buff! You might not want to upset him!

The basic details can be found on the site and it is legit.

[Recipe 2] GLUTEN-FREE UPSIDE-DOWN APPLE and FEIJOA GINGER CAKE
I was given a bag of feijoas by my mum recently, and at first I had absolutely no idea what to do with them. I've seen the lady at our local fruit shop scoffing them raw, skin and all; but after a bit of experimenting, I've decided I prefer them stewed. They're particularly yum poached together with green apples. I'd say feijoas are a cross between pineapple, guava and kiwi; so they lend a lovely exotic flavour to good old stewed apples, and their slightly odd pulpy texture magically disappears when cooked.
Oh, if you can't find feijoas, or they're out of season, you can omit them from these recipes and just use apples; or a mixture of apple and pear.
My first recipe is for yum Poached apple and feijoa with honeyed nuts. I've been making these nuts for years. We had a weekend away with friends a while ago and the husband and I were on brekkie duty. We plopped some good-quality yoghurt (I'm addicted to Evia) and poached fruit in big serving bowls in the middle of the table, and warmed some nuts on the stove-top with a dash of butter and honey. Pretty damn nice, and so much easier than cooking eggs and bacon for an army.
By reserving two cups of the poached apple and feijoa, you can also whip up a fab Gluten-free upside-down apple and feijoa ginger cake. My niece and brother-in-law are gluten-intolerant; and this cake went down a treat with them. It's dense, moist, and not too sweet. I've been trotting it out around town recently; and have tested it on my parents, our workmate and a girlfriend; and also swapped a chunk with my neighbours for some home-made lemon cordial. Thanks for being my guinea pigs folks! The cooking time is a bit annoying, but I found it really needs a long bake on a low temperature to retain its moisture. Enjoy.
[Recipe 1] Poached apple and feijoa with honeyed nuts
Ingredients for the poached fruit (makes 8 cups):
3 tablespoons brown sugar
¾ cup water
10 large green apples (2 kilos/4 lb), peeled, sliced thickly into 1cm (½") pieces
25 feijoas (1 kilo/2 lb), peeled, quartered
2 cinnamon sticks
For the honeyed nuts (makes 2 cups):
2 tablespoons honey
2–3 teaspoons butter
A good pinch of salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup slivered almonds
½ cup pinenuts
½ cup walnuts (or raw cashews), roughly chopped
¼ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup sesame seeds (black or white)
Place the sugar and water in a large saucepan. Add apple slices and cinnamon sticks and simmer, covered, over a low heat until almost tender, and still holding their shape, about 8–10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add feijoas and simmer a further 5 minutes uncovered. Remove and discard cinnamon sticks.
♦ Using a slotted spoon or tongs, reserve 2 cups poached apple and feijoa for the Gluten-free upside-down apple and feijoa ginger cake.
Meanwhile, make the honeyed nuts. Warm the honey and butter in a small saucepan. Add salt, cinnamon, nuts and seeds and stir over a low heat until well coated and sticky, about 2–3 minutes. Serve sprinkled over poached apple and feijoa, with yogurt if desired.
- Poached apple and feijoa will keep in the fridge, covered, for up to one week.
- Store honeyed nuts in the fridge, for up to 3 days.
- Poached apple and feijoa, pureed smooth, is great for kid's lunchboxes. Keep it in little containers in the freezer and defrost overnight in the fridge.
[Recipe 2] Gluten-free upside-down apple and feijoa ginger cake
Ingredients (serves 8-10):
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons (30g/1 oz) butter, melted
♦ 2 cups reserved poached apple and feijoa
180g (6 oz/1½ sticks) softened butter, extra
1¼ cups (200g) firmly-packed brown sugar, extra
4 large eggs
1 cup (360g) golden syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
200g (7 oz) Greek-style natural yoghurt
2 cups (300g) gluten-free plain (all-purpose) flour
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
½ teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons ground ginger
Preheat oven to 160°C (325ºF). Note: you'll be covering the cake with foil part-way through cooking (see recipe).
Line a 25cm (10-inch) baking tin with baking paper.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons brown sugar over base. Pour two tablespoons melted butter over brown sugar.
♦ Arrange poached apple and feijoa in a single layer over butter and sugar.
Cream extra softened butter and extra brown sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well before adding the next. Add golden syrup and vanilla and beat well.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and ginger. Fold this into the cake batter, a little at a time, alternating with the yoghurt.
Spoon cake batter over the apple and fejoa and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven. Cover cake loosely with foil, return to oven, and bake for a further 30–40* minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake.
*Check it after 30 minutes, and if it's still wobbly in the centre, pop it back in the oven for another 5 minutes and test again.
Leave cake to cool in tin for 15 minutes then carefully invert onto a large plate.
Serve warm or at room temperature with cream, yoghurt or ice cream.
- I've used both Core Organic Foods gluten-free plain (all-purpose) flour, and Orgran. Both contain starch (maize, tapioca), soya and rice flour.
- My test kitchen (ie. my lovely friend Janet) made this cake with non-gluten-free plain (all-purpose) flour, and it worked! So you can make it as a standard cake too.
- The cake keeps well in a covered container for a few days. The flavour actually improves on standing, and it stays nice and moist.
