Choose: Social Security or Imperial America Under the Military
By Kenneth Dean Troxel (kdtroxel)
How about we keep Social Security and all of the benefits thereof and simply kill the military machine that produces no wealth, only serves to kill people, fills the pockets of the military industrial complex and war profiteers. That's right people, you will have to choose, Social Security or Imperial America under the military.
Defense from what, who, or how? If you add up all the military spending from all countries on this planet, you will not come close to what the USA spends every year. The economic collapse is good for military induction quotas. The military is the employer of last resort for many of our youth. And when our sons and daughters come back from the wars, they come home broken both physically and mentally. The excessive use of depleted uranium (DU) weapons our military personal become radiated with fine particles of DU, so when they do come home to their families they have the potential for gross deformities of their future children.
And who are we fighting, terrorists? The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are illegal by the fact that terrorism was created by Americans and not by them. How can I say that, it is easy, 9/11 was an inside job and all the proof is there to support that statement, just look it up (Loose Change Final Cut, Zeitgeist, MISSING LINKS: The Definitive Truth About 9/11, Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime).
Terrorism is a state tool to demonize or dehumanize a group of people to gain the support of the root populous to kill on a grand scale. Terrorism is a means for one group (Christians) to kill another group or groups (Islam and Muslims). Terrorism is a warping of our moral fabric of what it means to be a free, just, and honorable society and at the same time it limits our own freedom and liberty in the name of self protection. Fighting terrorism is likened to a modern crusade where the goal is utter destruction of a foreign group of peoples whose ideals differ from our own. But you must remember that they are all human too, they love just like us, they love their families and their children, and by killing them, we kill a small part of ourselves.

Tutor profile: Kriselle G.
Subject: Writing
There are two mistakes in the following passage. Correct them and explain why they are wrong. Sally went to pick up her brother from the airport, he was arriving at 11:15 am. He was bringing her clothes, snacks and technology accessories from his trip to Thailand, and she couldn't wait knowing that she got them for very cheap.
Sally went to pick up her brother from the airport; he was arriving at 11:15 am. He was bringing her clothes, snacks, and technology accessories from his trip to Thailand, and she couldn't wait knowing that she got them for very cheap. The first mistake was a comma splice in the first sentence. Both were independent clauses which always need to be separated, either by a semicolon, a comma with a coordinating conjunction, or simply a period to separate the clauses. The second mistake was the missing Oxford comma in the series of things Sally was receiving from her brother. When writing series', it is important to use commas to differentiate items or ideas. Otherwise, it could potentially become confused for one item all on its own (for example, salami, cheese and crackers, and grapes versus salami, chesse and crackers and grapes).
Subject: Sociology
There are many different factors that could affect a couple when they get married. What are three of them and how do they affect them?
Some of the biggest factors that could affect a couple wanting to get married would be their social class, their religious background, and their racial/ethnic backgrounds. When two people grow up in two different social class settings, dealing with finances and even lifestyle can be very different when they get married. If someone grows up in a household that could barely make ends meet but marries someone who never had to think twice about having enough money, there could be conflict if one person is too focused on micromanaging finances while the other one is too lenient with spending. In regards to religious background, two religions may have very different beliefs in one another which could bring up many issues on when to worship, where to worship, giving money to a house of worship, and how to treat people from different backgrounds. With racial/ethnic background differences, traditions will differ similarly to the way religion may be affected. For example, if someone from the Philippines marries an Australian, there may be differences in regards to family values and the amount of obligation one may place to their families, among other things.
Subject: Fashion
What is the average time frame for recycled fashion trends? What are some examples?
On average, fashion trends will recycle themselves every twenty years. The most notable example in recent times would have to be the resurgence of 90's fashion in the last few years with the comeback of chokers, the "grunge" style, and overalls.

Orthodox Cruises – Day Two – Saint Petersburg
Cruise News UK goes on tour with Orthodox Cruises as the ms Anton Chekhov sails from Saint Petersburg to Moscow. This is the second in a series of articles aimed at describing, firsthand, a cruise on one of the most rapidly developing niches within the industry and how best to tailor this product to potential clients. Here we will explain why many of the industry's leading figures are becoming increasingly excited by the prospect – and commercial viability – of river cruising.
Day Two
Having arrived on Friday evening, our ship is berthed in Saint Petersburg for three nights before starting the long trip to Moscow. Essentially we have a centrally located, all-inclusive hotel that includes both complimentary and paid for tour excursions. That same hotel will then transfer you down the River Neva, deep into the heart of Russia. It is the key advantage the cruise industry has over other tourism markets – and one which sector leaders enjoy deploying when outlining why cruise is such a value product. A cruise ship is a floating hotel which has infinitely more appeal than its land-based counterpart because it lacks a fixed destination. With river cruising the same is true. However, one of the key differences between ocean and river cruising is that often – although certainly not always – the latter is a better alternative for those who wish to explore one region in far greater detail as opposed to the more typical 'a country a day' oceangoing tours.
For Orthodox Cruises – and more specifically this Saint Petersburg to Moscow voyage – that translates to an itinerary which can afford to give you three days in both major cities as well as visits to regions which are off the beaten path. One of the line's complimentary excursions is a guided tour of Saint Petersburg's premier attraction: The Hermitage. Built in the 1700s as a palace for Empress Anna, the vast art collection stands equal to The Louvre in Paris, London's National Portrait Gallery and Madrid's Museo del Prado. It is said to house three million pieces in countless rooms; a herculean task for any art lover. In fact, if a patron did decide to try and take in all exhibits, it would be a seven-year commitment. Our tour isn't quite as intensive – lasting two hours – but we managed to see works by a huge array of past masters. Everybody from Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Caravaggio to Van Gough, Picasso and Monet. It is an extraordinary string to Saint Petersburg's bow and one which has become akin to a seal of approval for all major cities around the world.
After our tour of The Hermitage we return to the ship for lunch. Our vessel, the ms Anton Chekhov, is a 350-passenger river cruise liner. Intimate in size, its appeal stems from the close proximity of fellow guests. A sizeable proportion speak English but interestingly the market is also gaining ground within China, the US and other European countries like Holland and Spain, all of which have guests onboard. There is a strong emphasis on the destination being the priority here. The cabins are clean and spacious but are there to act as a base – and the packed itinerary is a testament to this. Again this is a key difference between ocean and river cruising and potential customers should be made fully aware of it: going on a river cruise is about exploration. This does not mean that they aren't relaxing, but the ship is not the destination. This isn't a 3,500-passenger mega vessel complete with six restaurants, a colossal theatre and entertainment roster; its emphasis stays strictly on the ports of call. A river cruise starting in Saint Petersburg is going to allow time to completely see the city. There are obvious disadvantages to this too – mainly for those who wish to pack as many different countries into an itinerary as possible – but again, this is not the idea. And, if the stats are to be believed, more and more people are beginning to grasp that too and river cruising is developing into one of the most lucrative areas of the entire industry.

In order to finance a mondaine lifestyle – he gave glamorous parties while his children walked about barefoot – Paul Helleu brought a succession of beautiful women to his yacht, and made drypoint prints of them. These he sold (there were 2,500 Consuelo Vanderbilts). Though he normally sketched women, he left a memorable image of Proust on his deathbed, and of the poet and aesthete Robert de Montesquiou, who wrote an elegiac biography of Helleu.
Paulette's mother was Alice Guerin, who came to be painted in 1884 at the age of 14, as a result of which Helleu fell in love with her. They married on July 28 1886, when she was just 16.
The character of Elstir in Proust's À la Recherche du Temps Perdu was largely based on Helleu, and the author frequently visited the Helleus at their apartment in the rue Émile-Menier, or on their yacht at Deauville. Whereas the novelist was shy and tended to remain silent when in large groups, he was loquacious when at ease in small company.
Paulette remembered an evening in 1918 or 1919 when Proust brought her mother flowers. She had been allowed to stay up late, and at around 11pm a chauffeur arrived with a bouquet of flowers so enormous that he was invisible behind it. He asked the Helleus if M Proust, who was waiting downstairs, could come up and visit them.
A few moments later Proust appeared, wearing a heavy overcoat despite the heat of a Paris summer night. Paulette observed the darkness of his hair, in contrast to the pallor of his face, and how he greeted her father with the words: "Bonjour, Monsieur Elstir." But in later life, she was disdainful about him: "Oh, Proust! We thought nothing of him. He was a little man sitting in the corner."
Paulette Helleu was born in August 1904, and was a childhood friend of Diana Mitford, later Lady Mosley, who recalled: "Unlike her father, she was very critical and frank; she thought my clothes awful, which they were, particularly compared with hers, and she contradicted everything I chose to say. Nevertheless I was very fond of her; her attitude towards me was no more unflattering than my sisters', and I was perfectly accustomed to snubs."
Life in the Helleu household was far from relaxed. Paulette adored her mother, but enjoyed no intimacy with her father; he did, however, teach her to paint, and she was to become fiercely protective of his artistic reputation. He insisted that it was more important for a girl to be beautiful than to pass exams, but Paulette nevertheless read well and learnt English by the age of six; by the age of 14 she was more or less running the family home.
Paul had a terrible temper, and his daughter was terrified of him. He once threw a leg of mutton out of the window because it was overcooked; and when he caught the family nanny playing the piano on board his yacht (on which the family spent half the year), he ordered that it be thrown overboard.
Paulette's first grown-up lunch was attended by the politician, writer and wit Count Boni de Castellane. In 1924 she accompanied her father on a visit to Claude Monet at Giverny, in the company of the painter and art historian Etienne Moreau-Nelaton, who was writing a book about Edouard Manet. The young Paulette was fascinated by Monet, noting how small he was; his thick neck; his long and completely white beard. She found him simple and straightforward, with an air of rusticity which disappeared the moment he spoke.
Monet advised Paulette always to paint naturally "sur le motif" and to copy what she saw. He told her: "You paint like a bird sings." Allowed to explore the house, in his bedroom she counted four Manets and 11 Cézannes.
She met the artist Giovanni Boldini, and was amazed that he could create such delicate images with such fat fingers. He used to sing to her, and she was aware of his lasciviousness, and of his gaffes. He once asked a young lady at a lunch: "Who is that old pinguoin over there?" – to be told that it was her husband.
Robert de Montesquiou was also in evidence. Paulette recalled that he had bad teeth, which he never showed, spoke in a high-pitched voice like a peahen, tended to wear grey and adored her mother.
Paulette decided not to marry in her mother's lifetime. She enjoyed a full social life, invariably dressed by Balenciaga, and turned down numerous proposals of marriage. She was a fine horsewoman.
In 1955 she became the third wife of Rear-Admiral Clarence Dinsmore "Johnny" Howard-Johnston, CB, DSO, DSC, who had recently served as Chief of Staff to Flag Officer, Central Europe. He was one of the Royal Navy's foremost exponents of anti-submarine warfare and until his death in 1996 maintained old-fashioned good manners and style.
They lived partly in Paris, and for a time in Dolphin Square in London. They then settled in a villa Paulette designed near Biarritz, where she loved to play golf. The admiral himself designed a superb water garden on a plot of land nearby, later presented by Paulette to the municipality of Biarritz. In later life Paulette Howard-Johnston relied heavily on her friendship with the designer Karl Lagerfeld, with whom she was in constant touch.
Having devoted much of her life to promoting her father's work – and aware that she was almost certainly the last survivor from that world – in 2001 she established the Association des Amis de Paul-César Helleu to continue this mission and complete the catalogue raisonné of her father's pictures.
Paulette Howard-Johnston, who died on June 12, was appointed a Chevalier of the Légion d' honneur and an Officier des Arts et des Lettres.

Israel's interests are becoming an explicit issue in the Democratic nomination to be president. The Clinton campaign says Bernie Sanders's recent comments about Iran are risking Israel's security. Sanders wants to normalize relations with a country that "seeks the destruction of Israel," the campaign says. And his ideas for Iranian ground troops in Syria would put Israel's enemy "right on Israel's doorstep."
The swipes are featured in a new video of Jake Sullivan, a senior foreign policy adviser to Clinton. He first blasts Sanders for suggesting that Iran take a more active role against ISIS in Syria. Sanders has said, "Iran has to join us… I think the folks that have got to be on the ground are the people who are fighting for the soul of Islam. That is not American troops, that is troops from the region. They can't sit it out."
Sullivan said:
It would be putting more Iranian firepower right on Israel's doorstep.
A letter Clinton released from ten foreign policy veterans earlier this week also made the Israeli "doorstep" charge (Full text at TPM):
Supporting Iranian soldiers on Israel's doorstep is a grave mistake.
Later in his video, Jake Sullivan calls out Sanders for saying that we "should move aggressively as we can to normalize relations with Iran." Sullivan says:
Iran seeks the destruction of Israel. Iran is a leading sponsor of terror in the region. Iran is flouting international law with its ballistic tests and its threats against our international partners….
Normal relations with Iran? President Obama doesn't support that idea… and it's not at all clear why Senator Sanders is suggesting it.
When you look at all these ideas it's pretty clear that he just hasn't thought it through.
[The press] should keep asking these questions because the stakes are too high to just let this slide.
On an earlier conference call with reporters Sullivan said that Iranian normalization "would cause very real consternation among our allies and partners." Meaning Israel and Saudi Arabia. The New York Times says Sullivan first made the Israel charge on that conference call:
Later, in a conference call with reporters, Mr. Sullivan was more direct: "Many of you know Iran has pledged the destruction of Israel."
The destruction claim is a dubious one. While some Iranian leaders have predicted that Israel will cease to exist in the next generation, and some hotheads have called for its destruction (in a climate of mutual threats), the foreign minister has said that if Israel resolves the Palestinian issue, Iran could recognize the state.
Donors and the Israel lobby are a big part of Clinton's tactics. The Times even wrote, "The Clinton strategy on this front raises the risk of deterring powerful supporters of Israel from embracing Mr. Sanders should he capture the nomination."
Clinton herself voiced the criticism of Sanders's foreign policy ideas as unthought-through in "blistering" attacks on Sanders yesterday in Iowa, according to CNN. And CNN notes that Sanders has responded by questioning Clinton's judgment on foreign policy.
Sanders' campaign has responded to the critiques by questioning Clinton's judgment and noting her 2002 vote for the Iraq War, something that then-Sen. Barack Obama used against her during her failed 2008 campaign.
In related news, Clinton has hired a Jewish outreach director who has strong pro-Israel cred. And another story on the importance of the Israel lobby: Lobelog has a good story up that says Senator Marco Rubio has been parroting neoconservative Elliott Abrams's talking points on the Iranian hostage deal earlier this week. The piece notes that neocons are blasting the American deal when they praised Israel's deal for Gilad Shalit. Israel is always virtuous.

An ancient, mossy bridge is the perfect complement to any rural or river scene. These old and mysterious arched bridges are mankind's way of traversing landscapes that are otherwise decidedly wild.
Interestingly enough, an arch is only kept in position by its own weight the stones supporting an arch couldn't possibly stay in their position without the stones above them weighing them down. So, while they were very effective and sturdy, their building process was complicated. This usually involved building an entire wooden framework underneath the bridge on which the arch could be rested until the rest of the bridge was built around it.

Healthcare providers everywhere struggle constantly with how to effectively establish their authority and brand with marketing, branding, advertising and public relations
There are laws and regulations in effect that prohibit or at the very least restrict physician advertising. Few physicians realize that even where there is no specific proscription against physician advertising, there are rules that must be followed when physicians market, publicize, or advertise their services. Part of the challenge arises because most physicians don't know how to do this effectively, they don't have staff who knows how, nor does anyone inside the practice have time to help out.
Marketing and Public Relations on the Cheap
Many physicians who have been working in medicine since the 1980s abdicated their marketing and advertising messages to the managed care plans that controlled the "steerage" to participating providers in their respective networks. This was never really marketing or advertising. Nor was it public relations and branding – until the health plans started publishing "gold stars" next to providers' names. It merely steered potential market share to a list of "preferred" providers who offered an in-network, membership discount to plan subscribers. It influenced patients to choose "someone" listed and avoid those not listed. As a result, physician felt compelled to sign up and grant hefty discounts and agree to do other burdensome administrative tasks (like denials and appeals, preparing referrals, obtaining pre-authorizations, or certifying medical necessity, etc.) in exchange for being listed.
Physicians and other healthcare providers didn't have to pay money for production, placement … or did they? One could (and should) argue that the whopping discount negotiated with health plan payers is certainly barter for what the health plan produces and places with media outlets. The problem is that what they say about you is not under your control, unless you reserve that right in your contract with them. In many cases, unless you are a premium established brand, that's difficult to negotiate.
More recently, HealthGrades and other listing services on the Internet (Yelp, ZocDoc, RateMDs and about 12 others) that enabled patients (and in some cases sneaky competitors) to post comments about services and experiences that further impact a healthcare supplier' brand through user generated or what is referred to as "uncontrolled" information. While physicians can claim their profiles for free on these 12-18 sites, most have not completed their photograph and profile to be found, and few have corrected inaccuracies that can actually cost them business or reviews that can blemish their brands.
Why Building a Premium Healthcare Brand is Important for Providers
When a health plan can advertise that it has the premium branded clinics (Cleveland, Mayo, Johns Hopkins, MD Anderson, Bascom Palmer, etc.) on its panel of participating providers, they are banking on a "halo effect" and they negotiate higher reimbursement rates with those providers because of the brand image value associated with the preferred relationship. Sometimes those reimbursement rates are as much as 14-30% higher than what they pay Drs John and Jane Doe who have failed to build a brand and establish themselves as a premium, coveted brand to add to their network.
How to Establish Your Authority and Brand as a Healthcare Provider
To begin, you'll need to develop a strategy for brand building and public relations. The easiest and least costly way to do this is to create content that can be shared with patients, the media, and prospective patients seeking a new provider in your specialty. You build relevance by finding a way to converse much more frequently than when you have big news. Recently, I had a brief coaching session with one of my clients. I shared with him the following ideas on content creation.
Chat with patients
Ask patients a single question: "I'd like to ask you for your input: What's the one thing you would like to know more about if I were to write a blog?" Then start writing in a conversational tone about the topics they want to read
Interviewing luminaries
He could find a thought leader, strategic partner, or interesting creative thinker and ask 5 questions. He could use the interview to create compelling text, audio, or video content on topics that are considered "hot" in podiatry, or that he gathered from the previous activity where he gathered input from patients.
Addressing industry news
He could share an opinion about a recent news story, new drug, treatment, health reform, or something else that's affecting podiatry or his audience. By being timely, he could benefit from the extra boost of being one of the first to comment on the topic.
Going behind the scenes
He could explain or show things that his readers or followers don't usually get to see. There's intrigue behind every "Do Not Enter Without Authorization" sign. In medicine there are many of those signs. He could share photos that give an insider's view of their clinics, your operating theater, your diagnostic testing equipment in use, or tease some new, compelling content or service that their practice will be launching soon.
Attending an event
To share content of interest to other physicians, he could share session notes, conduct interviews, or take photos. He could real-time blog or tweet the sessions that offer value to readers, and share with his audience what he learned, enjoyed, or that which surprised him as new information.
Sharing best practices or health and wellness tips
People are always looking for insight to improve themselves and this type of content is always highly useful and shareable.
Creating a regular content series
Typical blog posts are generally 400-900 words in length. If he has more to share, a themed series is a great way to help him create regular content by dividing a larger article into parts.
Dividing the Marketing Budget for Maximum Reach
Do ask each and every new patient how they found you. If most of your growth comes from referrals of other physicians, you need to build brand recognition and preference with those referring physicians. If much of your growth comes from word-of-mouth, social sharing, and patient referrals, the list above will connect you directly to your patients, professional referral sources, and their friends and followers. If referrals come from Internet listing sites, you need to be listed on the 12-18 key directories that feature physician profiles and allow patients to post feedback and ratings on your services.
Don't get in the routine of spending money on campaigns on expensive cable TV, radio spots, paid talk show mentions or endorsements, newspaper ad insertions, or big Yellow Pages display ads if you don't know for sure that those channels can connect you to your existing patients or prospective patients and referral sources. Yes, you should be listed in the Yellow Pages, but if most people in your community don't use the printed book to find doctors anymore, why pay for a big ad in the book?
Don't spend money on marketing, advertising, and campaigns if results cannot be measured.
Don't waste money on hiring advertisers to "sell" your services to the public. People don't usually respond well to being "sold" health services. This is especially true when it comes to medical tourism services. There is a difference between case management and coordination and "selling" a provider's service in return for a commission. Medical tourism facilitators should facilitate logistics and coordinate patient care to make it easier for the patient to go through the process of obtaining care away from home. Their value-added professional services should be paid for at fair market rate.
Too often, however, the medical tourism facilitator relationship is one of selling and the facilitators are paid sales commissions for the closed sales they generate. Some business models are actually listings and they charge for "clicks" or "referrals", but even then, the ratio of successfully closed sales is very low. In truth, most of the people who have established medical tourism facilitator web-based businesses and listing directories to market the services of the hospitals and doctors they choose to represent don't generate that many closed sales each month. Part of the reason that the model doesn't work is because the doctors and hospitals have no real brand in the mind of the consumer. It is ludicrous to expect someone to travel far from home to seek treatment from Dr Jane or John Doe that nobody knows anything about, or be admitted to a General Hospital in a foreign land that has no real niche or reputation outside their local community? Yes, it happens, but without an established brand and some social connection to the provider, it is an extremely difficult "sell".
How to best use public relations, advertising, and marketing consultants
Find creative specialists that specialize in healthcare marketing, branding, advertising and public relations.
Generalists can get you in trouble with regulators. The use of hyperbole and superlative "-est" words are frowned upon in healthcare marketing because it promises a vulnerable consumer outcomes and deliverable that may not be possible, or that exceed the standard of care of the community in which the services are delivered.
Claim or create a narrow category of service that you do well and focus on ways to establish authority in that category.
If possible create a new sub-category where you can claim first or only status in the community, the region, the state, a tri-state area, or something else. The objective for the creative expert you hire is to assist you to identify or create singularity. Singularity creates in the mind of the healthcare consumer the perception that there is no other product in the market quite like your product. It also acknowledges that no one brand has universal appeal, so don't set unrealistic expectations about the effectiveness of your efforts. Measure your baseline before you begin and aim for 50% share of voice and market share. Aim for 3-8% increases in consultations, referrals, new patient growth per month, etc. Experts can help you perform the baseline measurements of new patient revenue value so that you can measure your incremental improvements and thus the return on investment in the marketing campaigns you decide to implement.
If you have questions about how blogs work, how people find them, and how to set up a branding and public relations strategy call me or Chelsea for some ideas. It would be our pleasure to chat with you for a few minutes and discuss if coaching, editing and/or our social media management services would be beneficial for you.

New GCSE grades
There are a number of changes to GCSE courses and examinations over the next few years. The following provides you with some information on the key changes.
- The "old" GCSE English and Maths will finish in summer 2016, with resits available in November 2016.
- Other GCSEs will also end over the next few years. Some will completely cease; others will be replaced by "new" GCSEs.
- From September 2015 English Language, English Literature and Maths GCSE courses will change to the new reformed specification. This will have the first exam in the Summer of 2017.
- From September 2016 most other subjects will come on line with the reformed GCSE's which will be first examined in the Summer of 2018.
- From September 2017 the final subjects follow the reformed specification which will be examined for the first time in the Summer of 2019.
- "New" GCSEs will have different grading systems. Instead of A* – G, they will have grades 9 to 1 where 9 is the highest.
- "New" GCSEs will be more demanding and use end of course examinations (and as little coursework as possible).
Explaining the new GCSE grades; comparing these to the "old" ones
Mr Foster's year group – ending KS4 in Summer 2019
Nearly all the GCSE examinations for this year group will be "new" GCSEs with the 9 to 1 gradings.
Mr Tyrell's year group – ending KS4 in Summer 2020
By this time, all GCSE examinations should be on the new 9 to 1 gradings. This year group however is also the year group targeted by the government to take the EBacc group of subjects. This would mean they only have a maximum of two option choices at KS4 as nearly all students would be expected to take English, Mathematics, Science, Languages, Geography or History. It is not yet clear whether this restriction on course choice will be enforced by the government and we are undecided as to what our own policy will be.

Video Essay:
The video essay was a lot of fun for me. I think I was a little confused about it and at first I kind of panicked because I couldn't think of what to do. My initial plan didn't work out so I thought about what I could do in my own apartment. I thought something that college students might like is a quick tutorial on how to make something cheap and easy. I ended up really liking how my shots came out and I enjoyed the process of creating the video.
VO and VOSOTVO 1:
When we were first assigned the VO I kind of knew what I wanted to do right away. I knew that I wanted to talk about the fact that it was really cold outside while not making that the main focus. I'm not sure why but I thought we were supposed to pan and tilt so I used quite a few pans and my video didn't turn out as well. I definitely knew what I had to change in my next VO.
VO and VOSOTVO 2:
When I first shot my VOSOTVO 2, the weather was nice and I really liked my shots but I thought it was necessary to pan for some of my shots. After the Skype session where we discussed my footage I realized that they were unnecessary and I had to reshoot. The shots were a little blue and I didn't like my shots as much the second time. I felt like at this point I was getting the hang of the VOSOTVO thing.
My final VO was a lot of fun to create. I love going to Clinton Lake and relaxing and I thought more people should know about how nice it is to go out and sit around and take a break from everything there. I actually loved the shots I got and I was able to take shots from different angles that I thought turned out really well.
I chose to do my final VOSOTVO over one of my current events. I really liked the story that I was doing and I reached out to a few teachers at a local high school and finally got in touch with Susan Micka and I really enjoyed getting to speak to her and getting a look at Lawrence High School. I didn't get the shots I wanted inside of the high school but after discussing the video in class, I realize I could've shot some footage outside of Lawrence High School that would've been better.
All of these projects have definitely helped me in some way or another. I feel like I'm a lot more prepared now to work on the packages and even the news break. I think the most helpful part of it was being able to present and be critiqued while presenting our projects. I'm finally beginning to feel comfortable talking and reading more conversationally. I do think I need to work on writing conversationally which is something I'm not used to so might take a little time.

1. Setting the language:
Language can be set in MBOverlaySettings:
Set the language when creating the settings, for example here you can add
settings.language = "en"
2. Modifying and creating localization files:
The language set in the first step denotes which localization file will be used.
The file has to be located in MicroBlink.bundle and has to be named
The example is en.string file located in our bundle by default:
You can modify this file and add desired localization string for the English language.
If you wish to set a different language, for example, "fr", you will need to set it like in step one, add fr.strings file to MicroBlink.bundle and fill it like en.strings is filled but with desired localizations.

RTAs: do they matter?
Theresa Carpenter & Andreas Lendle posted an interesting article on preferential trade agreements (PTAs) at VoxEU. The question they are trying to answer is: we all know that PTAs are annoying for the multilateral trading system, but do they matter in reality?
The answers are:
1. They don't matter for the big guys. According to them, for the top 20 importers in 2008, which accounts for almost 90% of world trade, only 16% of the trade is conducted on a preferential basis. Personally I don't think this to be a surprising result for the following reasons:
A. Much of world trade is already trading at very low or zero tariff rates (noted in their paper);
B. There're typically no PTAs among the big players (with the exception of NAFTA and intra-EU trade).
2. They matter a lot for the small players. According to their study, the 25 countries that receive the highest preferential margins on their exports are mostly African, Caribbean and Pacific countries who export items with high MFN tariffs duty-free to the EU (and to a lesser extent to the US).
Tow lessons we can draw from the study:
1. For smaller countries, multilateral trade negotiation at the WTO doesn't mean much, at least with regard to market access;
2. For big countries, their optimal strategy should be multilateralism rather than regionalism. But why do we still see all these aggressive PTA pushes from the big players? Mainly due to the lobbying from industries which are A. particularly affected by high tariffs in a few sectors (textiles, etc); B. more concerned with rules/regulatory issues rather than MA issues (IPR, etc).

How to use less water – Garden water savers
Ditch the sprinkler
In one hour a sprinkler can use up to 1,000 litres of water– the equivalent of two days' water consumption by a family of four. Most suburban gardens can be adequately watered using a 10-litre watering can.
- Saving Up to 1,000 litres (£1.90*) an hour
Water weekly
Your plants will benefit more from a weekly soak than a daily sprinkle. Fruit and vegetables are the exceptions to the rule. Water them daily if they've just been planted or are about to crop. Water the soil, not the plant, for maximum benefit.
- Saving Depends on the size of your garden. Watering in the evening is most beneficial as water evaporation is slower
Turn off your hose
Wash your car using a couple of bucketfuls of water, not a hosepipe connected to a tap. A hosepipe can use as much water in half an hour as an average family does in a day.
- Saving Up to 500 litres a car wash (95p)
Buy a water butt
Water butts collect rain water for use in the garden
All the water a typical garden needs to stay green in summer can be collected from your house or garage roof in a single water butt. See our for current Best Buys.
- Saving Depending on the size of your garden, a water butt could save thousands of litres each summer
Reduce evaporation
Line the inside of terracotta pots with plastic and use mulch in borders – both will reduce evaporation. Plant drought-tolerant silvery- or narrow-leaved plants.
- Saving Halves the amount of water required to keep your plants alive

Bush has been inaugurated. He and Cheney are having lunch at a restaurant near the White House.
Cheney orders the "Heart-Healthy" salad.
Bush leans over to the waitress and says "Honey, could I have a quickie?"
She's horrified! She says, "Mr. President, I thought your administration would bring a new era of moral rectitude to the White House. Now I see I was wrong and I'm sorry I voted for you," and she marches off.
Cheney leans over and says "George, it's pronounced 'QUICHE'."

Over the course of the election campaign, I've been watching politicians from various parties and some from no party on the media. Some of what they have to say I've liked, some not so much, and some made me plain angry. No surprises there really. But this time round (and I've voted in every election I have been eligible to vote in since I turned 18) I have struggled to decide who to vote for. I have now decided and I will be voting later on today but one thing has really struck me as I've deliberated over who to vote for. I will be using my vote today but I will not be playing any positive part in shaping our next Government. And that makes me wonder if our electoral system needs some tweaking.
I live and vote in the Dáil constituency of Meath West. There are 9 candidates seeking election here. Some constituencies have 20 candidates, our neighbours in Meath East have 12 to choose from. I could, if I wished, vote for all 9 in order of preference. On this occasion I choose not to do that. Of our 9 candidates 2 are from Fine Gael, the majority party in the outgoing coalition. I will not be voting for either of them, I don't agree with them on many issues and one of them I have found to be an utterly ineffectual TD so no vote from me there. We have one candidate from Fianna Fáil and I cannot forget what that party has done in the past. Again, I also disagree with many of their policies. So no vote going there. For those of you unfamiliar with Irish politics, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are (currently) the two major parties, so you might see where I'm going. We have one candidate from Sinn Féin. I have voted Sinn Féin in the past and while I do not agree with all of their policies, there is some common ground there. Depending on how things go today (and there are MANY uncertainties in this election) Sinn Féin could well end up as the leaders of the opposition in the next Dáil. But I cannot vote for their candidate here as he and I differ on the repeal of the 8th Amendment which is a red line issue for me.
So 4 down and no vote cast yet. There's an independent candidate who has not even produced any election literature that I can see (and I've looked) so that's a no. 5 down, 4 to go. The Labour party candidate – and indeed the only woman standing here – hmm, she had a chance of a lower preference from me until I spoke to her at a hustings event and again we differ on the repeal of the 8th. Nope, move along please. 6 down, 3 to go. I'm now left with the Green Party candidate, the Direct Democracy candidate and a candidate from the Christian Jobs and Action Party. I do not believe any political party should espouse any religious belief so that's a no. (Unsurprisingly, we differ on the 8th too) So I'm left with 2 out of 9. One of these will get my first preference, the other my second. Neither party has – in my opinion – any hope of forming part of the next government. But at least I will have voted.
So, back to my earlier point about maybe our system needing tweaking. There are some parties who DO interest me (actually the Greens come into that category too), such as the recently formed Social Democrats, the People Before Profit movement and the Anti-Austerity Alliance. None of them are contesting this constituency so I can't vote for them, yet they are the parties with whom I would have the most common ground (in different ways). Should we have some kind of national list system alongside the constituency votes? That way more people might feel like they are actually getting a positive say in who shapes our next government? I don't have any ideas as to what form that might take or how it might work, but this election has really gotten me thinking.
There are some independent candidates in other constituencies who I really hope get elected (and in some cases re-elected), Katherine Zappone, Carol Hunt, Averil Power, Joan Collins…. to name just a few. Let's wait and see – I will be glued to the results for the next few days.

In part-2 of this series I ended talking about we need for the prophet, the priest and the king to arise in our fathers. Let's begin by speaking briefly on the prophet that God desires to arise in the father. The prophet is one who (Represents God to his family). It's as if the father is saying "Family meet my God", for if our children are going to experience the true characteristics of their heavenly father, they will experience that in their fathers. Thus, the father would not only represent God in word, but in deed as well.
Finally, as the prophet arises in the father, the father will be one who speaks life over the wife and the children in the home. He will be one who not only prays for his family but with his family. He will be one who provides the prophetic vision, instruction and guidance in the home. He will be one who is so sensitive to the flow of God for his family that he is already praying and talking to his family about things God is showing him now that could affect their future. Thus, the prophet in the father doesn't spend lot of time praying about the here and now; he is trying to get ahead of the devil to see things that could happen in the future and prepare his family for those things that could come.
God Bless You

Workshop "I love myself"
e are unique, just as we are, and the world need us just like we are. There is no other person like you in the world and you have the right to be exactly who you are and to enjoy it. Be honest with yourself is the greatest healing source. Sometimes it hurts, but it only hurts our ego, and the truth sets you free.
To love yourself is simply "normal". When we were children, it was necessary that someone else see what we are doing, to give us support, to commend us … We kept saying "see me …": "See how I walk …. jump …. draw … swim … play …. ". At that times we were never talked about ourselves negatively: "I do not know", "I am not good enough", "I am dumb", "I am bad", etc.
A huge number of books have been written on this topic, there are many seminars, which tells us how this topic is profound and important. The roots of our relationship with ourselves go way back, even before our birth. Very often, we accept other people's opinion that "we are not good" and accept it as a true, even though it is only someone's opinion, and not truth.
If you want to feel great, feel free, and want to manage your life the way you want, come to the seminar "I LOVE MYSELF"!
The seminar will give you specific techniques to love yourself, to reject the opinions of others, to get rid of negative beliefs about yourself and teach you how to turn everything to your advantage. Finally, you will attract into your life whatever you want.
Workshop "I love myself" is an introduction to the seminar "I love myself". Workshop lasts 4 hours (10-14 hours) and is very practical and interactive.

This week's hearty one-dish vegetarian meals are meant to appeal to families that include a mix of meat-eaters and vegetarians. My best friends have a vegetarian relative who is undergoing some serious surgery and will be recuperating at their home. They're in need of several do-ahead recipes that they can all enjoy throughout the week, dishes that can be reheated at different times, as they often get home from work late.
What I've come up with is a mix of humble stews (beans and lentils) and more complex casseroles. The lentil and bean dishes back up the point that Mark Bittman made in his recent Op-Ed article that dispelled the myth that fast food is cheaper than healthy meals prepared at home. A great pot of beans or lentils, even when you add to it a bunch of chard from the farmers' market, costs no more than $4 to make, and it feeds four to six people.
French Lentils with Chard
This combo of lentils and greens is inspired by a classic preparation for the tasty French Le Puy green lentils that traditionally includes salt pork and/or bacon and sausage. For this vegetarian version, I don't insist on Le Puy lentils, although I highly recommend them. Meat eaters in the family might want to accompany this with sausage, cooked separately or with the lentils. I recommend topping the lentils with goat cheese or feta.
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 pound lentils, preferably imported green lentils, washed and picked over (2 1/4 cups)
A bouquet garni made with 2 bay leaves, a Parmesan rind and a sprig or two each of thyme and parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bunch Swiss chard (3/4 to 1 pound), stemmed, washed and coarsely chopped
Freshly grated Parmesan, crumbled goat cheese or feta for serving
1. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the carrot and celery and cook, stirring, until all the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the lentils, 2 quarts water and bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer 40 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bouquet garni.
2. Stir the chard into the simmering lentils. Cook another 10 minutes or so, until the lentils and greens are tender. The chard should be tender but still bright. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve, passing the cheese at the table for sprinkling. Alternatively, transfer to an oiled baking dish, top with rounds of goat cheese, crumbled feta or grated Parmesan, and heat through in a medium oven.
Yield: Serves 4 to 6
Advance preparation: You can cook the lentils through Step 1 and keep in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 days. Bring back to a simmer and proceed with the recipe. The finished dish will keep for 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator, but the color of the chard will fade.

When cocktailians talk about "the sauce," usually we're referring to booze. But this is a blog dedicated to fiery cocktails, so let's get literal and talk adding hot sauce to drinks.
When I interviewed cocktail consultant Danny Valdez, then head bartender at Commander's Palace in New Orleans and a fellow spicy-drinks fanatic for Chile Pepper magazine, he explained: "Being in the South, we love spice and the majority of us douse anything edible with hot sauce. So having cocktails with hot sauce was inevitable."
In fact, Danny describes hot sauce as "a common tool in the bartender's tool box." He uses hot sauce to select a specific heat level, taste profile, or aroma to drinks – and doesn't shy away from using its vinegary twang to rev up flavors. One recent experiment: a Roasted Tomato and Chipotle Bloody Mary, which incorporates Chipotle-flavored Tabasco, and subs in balsamic vinegar in place of the traditional Worcestershire sauce.
There's some precedent for dashing hot sauce into cocktails: The Shrub, a classic cocktail that uses vinegar as a key component –also a key component in hot sauce. In his book, "How's Your Drink," Wall Street Journal drinks columnist Eric Felten discusses how colonial Americans enjoyed mixing rum with a style of syrup, called a shrub: fruit (often raspberries), sugar and white wine vinegar. The finished cocktail now is often referred to as a Shrub. At the modern-day bar, the shrub has taken on new life as gastriques (caramelized sugar mixed with vinegar or citrus and flavorings).
Like lemon, lime or a vinegar-based gastrique, hot sauce's role in a cocktail is to add that touch of acid and brightness that cuts through the sweetness of a drink, while also adding a touch of heat.
Here are three recipes for using hot sauce in cocktails, which I've categorized into "subtle" (just a touch of heat highlighting a drink with complex flavors), "classic" (moderate heat, and the hot sauce is an integral part of the cocktail), and "stunt spice" (this drink is ALL about the hot sauce!).
#1. SUBTLE: The Gilded Splinter
Adapted from T. Cole Newton, Commander's Palace, New Orleans. This drink is a fine example of how the piquancy of hot sauce can add sizzle to the swizzle: the lush fruit of Grand Marnier and Maraschino liqueur plays against a single "healthy dash" of Tabasco; egg whites subdue the capsaicin burn to a pleasant simmer and create a rich, velvety texture.
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1 tablespoon Maraschino liquor
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 egg white
Healthy dash of Tabasco, or other favorite hot sauce
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a coupe or cocktail glass.
#2: CLASSIC: The Michelada
This beer-based cocktail is a new classic. Without the hot sauce, this drink is nothing special, just a gussied-up glass of beer. It's the hot sauce that elevates it to cult status.
#3: STUNT SPICE: The Bone
This drink was created about five years ago by cocktail historian Dave Wondrich for the now-closed Chickenbone Café in Brooklyn, where the food-friendly shot was often paired served on a plate, encircled by slices of beef – together called "Beef on The Bone." With a 3 healthy dashes in a short drink, this is downright incendiary – you can't miss the heat!
¼ cup 101 proof Wild Turkey rye
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon simple syrup
3 dashes Tabasco, or other favorite hot sauce
Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, and "don't be timid" with the hot sauce, Wondrich says. Shake it "viciously" and strain into a shot glass.

To wax or not to wax, that is the question – particularly at this time of year when warm weather and Summer holidays mean more flesh is on show!
But as well as being very irritating on sensitive skin (Eczema and Psoriasis sufferers are encouraged to avoid it all together), waxing can also be quite unhygienic.
Last month, Woman's Health reported a rise in bacterial infections due to the increasing popularity of waxing as a hair removal method.
What makes them so risky?
Body hair serves a very necessary purpose, protecting the sensitive skin in key areas.
"Getting a wax literally strips away that layer of protection," explains Linda Franks, M.D, Assistant of Dermatology at NY School of Medicine.
As well as causing many tiny tears and openings in the skin's uppermost layer, through which bacteria can permeate, waxing also causes inflammation.
Inflammation traps bacteria under skin – setting stage for skin infections, hair follicle infections and ingrown hairs.
What to look out for
If waxing's your thing, then choose your salon carefully.
Ask what kind of wax will be used – hard wax is best as it is gentler and sticks to the hair rather than the skin.
During the waxing process, make sure your therapist does not double dip the wax applicator and instead uses a new spatula for each strip.
Double dipping introduces bacteria into the pot, which can then be spread from person to person.
How to prevent irritation
Soothe sore skin with Comfrey & Calendula Calming Body Cream.
Its powerful anti-inflammatory properties will cool and calm the skin, and help to heal and regenerate any damaged areas.
If you do suffer with sensitive skin you may want to check out alternatives such as threading or epilation, which are a lot kinder on the skin.
What do you think? Does waxing worry you at all?

There is an air of Victorian country calm in the laboratory where Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien's three graduate students quietly wrestle with problems of microscale engineering thermophysics. Gray metal desks hug one wall and computers and electronic equipment line another.
On a recent afternoon, the tranquility is pierced by a
swirl of activity in the corridor. As the buzz of conversation ripples toward
them, the three young women look up eagerly from their work. "That's
how we know he's coming," smiles Cynthia Goldman. "We hear him
saying hi to everyone on his way down the hall."

This is not your typical cork versus screw cap article. This is the only time I will use the word "oxygen" in this piece. Search for "cork vs. screw cap" and you'll find plenty of discussions on reduction-oxidation chemistry, an increasing amount of data, and plenty of arguing. What you won't find is much comparing corks and screw caps on an environmental footing.
Green has been, for the past few years, as important to the wine industry as red and white. Wineries are conspicuously moving to lighter bottles, biodegradable shipping containers, and energy-efficient operating systems. The cork industry publicists have begun marketing natural cork as the earth-friendly closure option, but that discussion really hasn't hit mainstream. I searched the American Journal of Enology and Viticulture, The Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, The Journal of Wine Research, The International Journal of Wine Research, and Wines and Vines for articles on the environmental impact of producing cork and/or screw cap closures and found none.

Three men, a dog and a boat appear in a photo at sunset… Stop me if you heard this one…
Determining the story we need to tell and then eliminating all that fails to tell our story is the first step in determining what to crop. It is like the old story about sculpting. How do you carve an elephant? Get a block of stone and cut out anything that doesn't look like an elephant. Cropping is much the same.
Today's Crop Shop victim is a shot of a tranquil beach sunset in Costa Rica on last season's Worldesigns Photo Costa Rica tour. At first glance it looks like a picture of three buddies enjoying a sunset. The ocean tide rolls out as a ship sails by. Drinks are in the sand and a dog lays nearby. A dog?
Photos are stories. We use image editing to help us tell the story. Maybe my story is about a dog and not about three beach buddies. Let's take this image into the crop shop and see what the cropist can do to make this picture about a dog.
What is important to me here is the story of the dog. Looking at the image you can see that the dog is practically lost in the drama and clutter of the scene. This was a grab shot at from a distance and I didn't have time to zoom in with my feet and get the shot of the dog. In fact, when I took it, I didn't even notice the dog. Now I want the shot to be centered on the dog. Had I noticed him, likely he would have moved, or at least reacted as I approached.
Well, I don't need all that great sky. I love it but sky isn't about a dog. There is plenty of unnecessary space right and left. My first crop attempted to reduce the sky and the foreground. I took off about 25% of the image vertically, 15% from the top and 10% from the bottom. The men seem to come more into prominence but the dog is still lost. If you look at my scribbled analysis image above, you can see that I felt that the man on the left added little to the image. He is separated from the others, the dog, the boat and is looking left-off frame. I figured a vertical crop would take care of that.
Cropping the leftmost person from the frame makes for an ok composition but the dog is still lost in the clutter. I have been loath thus far to crop off that delicious orange sunset. As a result, the dog remains lost. I need to get tighter. I need to make that dog more prominent in the frame. The sky has got to go.
Sacrificing the sunset, I move in tighter, taking out the beach foreground and most of the sky. All of a sudden, the dog begins to appear-though not necessarily at first glance. The right-hand figure is close to the edge. I can't crop out his distracting red cup without cutting off his elbow. I realized at this point that each closer crop improved the dog a little. I decided to go tighter yet.
Taking off more beach and more sky and coming in tight on both figures brings the dog closer. He is starting to emerge from the picture. We are starting to lop off parts of people now and that can be awkward. Perhaps I am too sentimental about leaving the boat in place. If it is about the dog, do I really need it?
Taking it in further yet, I eliminate the heads and arms of the two men. They become more background elements now and we start to cease viewing them as people. The dog is the only figure left. Our focus is locked on him as we first scan the image. Now, finally, the picture is truly about a dog. Our pixel dimensions on the final crop are roughly 1350×700. That is a passable 4×6 print or a full screen PowerPoint™ slide. But if we need a picture that is only about a dog, we have succeeded.
Isolation is eliminating all else of importance from the subject. I think I have succeeded. Other cropped versions along the way may be more pleasing images-no argument-unless it is about a dog.

Young Lonergan scholars
I have spoken about the new crop of young Lonergan scholars. Some of them are young and brash as so many of us used to be, but some others are quite special. You have this feeling that there is a profound love for Christ coming through when they speak. And that is really extraordinary. Also, several of them are married, and some like Paul St Amour have 6 children. Jeremy Wilkins was also there with his wife and 2 kids: they sat through his lecture and gave him a big hug when he finished.

For women at the top of their fields, the days of taking sartorial cues from the old boys' club are long gone. Women in power are leaning into their femininity and looking more put together than ever in a power dress - the antithesis of the power suit.Share
Rather than armor women with shoulder pads and pants to match the men on the playing field, it conveys power by explicitly pointing out the wearer's gender and elevating it as a celebrated asset, rather than a handicap to be masked in garb traditionally worn by men. Yahoo's CEO Marissa Mayer and Facebook's COO Sheryl Sandberg are the most notable examples of the power dress trend, both often seen in elegant, form-fitting knee-length dresses and pumps.
It's a trend that's growing, with more women choosing a relaxed, wool Donna Karan dress or a floral Betsey Johnson frock rather than a pantsuit. The latest iteration of the power dress is one that captures so accurately and chicly the personality of the wearer, you'd think she was off to meet friends for dinner later in the day.
"I love wearing bright colors and unique textures," said Goodby, Silverstein & Partners' Creative Director Kate Catalinac. Her favorite designers include Temperley London, Kate Spade, Burberry Prorsum and Diane von Furstenberg, as well as designers from her native New Zealand such as Trelise Cooper, Kate Sylvester and Karen Walker, who tend to design dresses with sheer elements and ladylike fine prints.
"Femininity does not equal frivolity," Catalinac said. "But as long as we apologize for it and hide it in the workplace, it will forever be seen as a weakness."
Early in her career, Catalinac was told by some female colleagues that she won't be taken seriously if she dressed "too girly" for work, especially given her position - in the ad world, just 3 percent of creative directors are women, according to Fast Company magazine. "If you're willing to instantly change yourself just to second-guess the people around you, perhaps you shouldn't be taken seriously ... I respect my colleagues, but I'm not cross-dressing for anyone," Catalinac said. (Read more.)

I usually begin every weekend with a great workout at Barre & Soul, which is conveniently located only a few minutes from my apartment. It is always great to start the day off feeling healthy and flexible. However, after an hour of intense squat and push up action, a girl needs to work her stomach out too (and I'm not talking sit ups).
I rewarded myself for my hour of barre by heading straight to Whole Foods. With all intentions of being healthy, I immediately headed to the "free sample" section where nacho flavored chips were staring at me through the opened plastic covered container. Seriously, who would stick these in front of my face when I am trying desperately to control my addiction to loaded nachos?!
Anyway, I took one chip and headed straight to the fresh fruit and vegetable section of the store in search of something light but filling. Although I will eat just about anything, I decided not to have any meat, so I started planning out a vegetarian meal in my head.
I grabbed a package of Arugula since I am obsessed with the spicy, peppery flavor it offers to any salad. I also knew I needed some cheese, so I grabbed some sheep's milk feta for a light and fluffy touch. Now, I'm thinking of a protein- enter the chickpeas! Ok people, this is starting to sound a little Greek to me… BINGO- the antipasto bar!
So the extremely large "prepared food" section tends to be extremely difficult for my self control situation. While trying to safely navigate, I stuck to the antipasto bar and grabbed some fresh roasted red peppers and roasted tomatoes. This allowed me to grab the exact portions that I needed of each vegetable, not to mention I could stick them in the same container also. Hello, savings!
Check out the Mediterranean Goddess:
- 3.5 oz Arugula
- Crumbled Feta Cheese
- Chickpeas
- Roasted Red Peppers
- Roasted Tomatoes
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Olive Oil
- Dill
- Salt
- If you would rather purchase your vegetables in their own cans or containers, be sure to drain all of the liquids and place your desired amount of chickpeas, peppers, and tomatoes in a bowl together.
- In that bowl, pour one tablespoon of olive oil as well as a little touch of red wine vinegar to get the flavors to work their magic.
- They say that 3.5 oz is the correct serving size for arugula, but who's counting? I grabbed two washed handfuls and placed the leaves on my plate as a base.
- Since everything is already unique in flavor, I just shook a bit of dill over the chickpeas for added spice.
- Lastly, I placed the crumbled feta at both ends of the plate since I knew I wanted some in every bite.
My cousin always says,"If I die, I'm never going to say, wow I am so happy I ate that salad." While I agree, I also think every meal should be enjoyable and memorable. Cooking for yourself allows you to make any and every substitution that you wish. Let your palate explore and create something unique by combining your favorite foods.
Since I encourage my readers to put their own twists on my recipes, I have a few suggestions. If you happen to enjoy the flavor of olives, I would say to use them in place of the tomatoes if you wish! If you aren't vegetarian and are open to something fresh and meaty, grab some prosciutto- I promise you will love yourself and this meal even more.
Thank you for reading. I hope everyone has a wonderful fresh start to their week!
