Israel is full of attractions and monuments, significant importance historically and culturally symbols, being one of the most contrasted and controversies state. It's the only country in Middle Orient that has a free democracy and the independent press is encouraged. Even you could have certain fears regarding to this land, a sacred one, regarding to the old conflict for thousands of years, that fuels further differences between two different mentalities, it's an experience more unbelievable than you ever imagined, for example because in the North are mountains and desert in the South, so is the only country where it can snow and to be hot heat at the same time.
My journey started in Jerusalem, the capital and largest city of it is known as the Holy City or Land of promise. It is divided into four main districts: Jewish Quarter, the Muslim Quarter, Christian Quarter and the Armenians. The city represents a combination between a holy place and a modern city.
Before I write about what we can visit and ways to improve you're staying in Israel, I will point some interesting facts. When you walk down streets probably you will notice women with straight medium hair, and somehow they are identically, because if they were married from ultra orthodox rite, they cut their hair very short, that is the tradition, so they were a wig. The woman hair is considered the most attractive part so its dedicated only for her man, is hidden from the eyes of the world.
Israel is a much evolved state, if you think that on the banknotes are also in Braille language, especially design for blind people.
Try to avoid wearing shorts, or any piece of clothing too harshly, because you will look ridiculous and you will attract attention and not the good way. Also don't visit any monument with you bag full of souvenirs or shopping bags, it's a part of the temple protocol, there are no signs to denied that, but some of our guide told us , so it's good to keep that in mind.
The currency in Israel is the New Israeli Shekel (NIS). Each shekel is divided into 100 ' agurot ' (singular ' agura ').
The place that I would recommend for accommodation is the city of Haifa in the North. Is a beautiful city, with exit to the sea and is also a place where you can get beautiful souvenirs for home, though at very good prices and for all tastes. In Haifa people were being friendly, sociable, and ready to help you if you need information's or something.
To visit: Nazareth, Bethlehem and obviously Jerusalem.
In Israel you could visit: Jesus ' Tomb, Kidron Valley, the Dead Sea scrolls, the Qumran, the River Jordan, the sea of Galilee, Jerusalem or The Complaints.
Israel is a country that has 5 exists to the sea, where you can see some beautiful places, including the fact that Dead Sea is one of them is unique in the world because it is the only one in the world where you can float on the water because of the high concentration of salt.
This is Israel-the Holy Land or Canaan as it is called in the Bible.

I wasn't sure what I wanted for dinner tonight but I did know I had a pound of ground beef that needed to be used. I looked around on the web for recipes but couldn't find something that I both wanted and had all the ingredients for. I really didn't want another night of hamburger patties. So I decided to get creative and just start cooking and see what happened, what I ended up with was a type of paleo hash that's actually quite good.
Paleo Slaw Hash
- 1lb of ground beef, you could use turkey or sausage
- 1 avocado, mashed
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 1 package of broccoli slaw
- seasonings you prefer, I used Mrs Dash Table Blend
- preferred oil, I used olive oil
Heat oil in a skillet and brown ground beef, add seasoning.
In a bowl combine mashed avocado and coconut milk and stir until mixed. Mixture will mostly likely be lumpy.
Once ground beef has been brown add the avocado/coconut milk mix and stir well.
Once well mixed add one bag of broccoli slaw and stir well. Allow mixture to cook while stirring frequently.
The broccoli slaw will start to wilt and get a deeper shade of green, this means it is ready to eat.
When I went to bed last night I was hungry which I guess I expected to happen but I was surprised that it actually kept me awake. I survived the night though and decided to celebrate by cooking a delicious breakfast. I went with two slices of bacon, coffee with almond milk, and paleo pancakes. I put the recipe below for the pancakes and they were tasty but it was more like banana flavored scrambled egg. I had a hard time flipping the cakes so they came out a little mushy. I might play around with adding some almond or coconut flour to see if that helps make them hold together better.
Easy Paleo Pancakes
- 1 banana
- 1 large egg
Mash banana in a bowl until fairly smooth. Add egg and stir with a fork until completely mixed.
Heat your choice of oil in a pan, I used olive oil, and drop batter into pan. Let pancake cook until brown on the bottom and flip. (This was nearly impossible for me without it breaking apart, don't worry, it still tastes pretty good!)
I ate mine plain but they could easily be topped with berries. You can also add cinnamon and salt if you desire, I did not. No pictures on this one because it was not photographic.
I woke up late today so skipped breakfast and for lunch I just had an orange and some slices on salami because I was in a hurry to get somewhere. I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in probably 10 years and met a new friend too. We met at a coffee shop so I did get a latte but with almond milk. While not considered totally paleo I've decided I'm not going to give up my coffee and tea because I like them and they are healthy drinks in my mind. Have to be careful of the syrups though. I picked up almond milk at the store because it does add a nice flavor to coffee.
I went to the local coop to pick up some of the items I felt I needed to properly eat during this challenge, like almond milk, sun butter, avocados etc. I picked up a couple bacon cranberry burger patties because they looked good and I'm having those for dinner plus asparagus cooked with a little bit of ghee. This is the first time I've ever used ghee so but it does have a light buttery-ish flavor to it. The cranberries in the burger patties have a little sugar in them so it's not completely paleo but compared to how I've been eating I don't think it's a big deal at all.
I know it's not really called the Dinosaur Diet but I'm going to call it that so it sounds more awesome. I was motivated by Steve's 30 day paleo diet to go ahead and join him and do the challenge myself. I have been reading about the paleo diet and it's actually a fairly sound set up from a clean foods stand point. I'm a big fan of clean foods and I think this 30 day challenge will help me get back into eating the way I actually enjoy.
I'm planning to easy into paleo for the first few days though and probably won't go 100% paleo but rather stick to the 80/20 rule. I mostly plan to make an exception for yogurt (quality yogurt with clean ingredients and possibly milk because I need a source of vitamin D supplementation due to a known deficiency.
Today I bought a grill pan at ShopKo so I can cook up my veggies and meat grilled style which is how I really like my steak and asparagus. I can't wait for the farmers' market to start and hope to get most of my foods there.
For those that don't know the paleo diet the following are the basic foods you eat:
- Lean meats including eggs
- Seafood
- Healthy fats
- Nuts and seeds
- Fruits
- Vegetables
Anything that doesn't fall into that list is considered non-paleo. This means no dairy, legumes, sweets, salty snacks, or grains. It's going to take time to adjust to not eating cheese or grains but I know I can do it.
I still need to go shopping and start meal planning to make this easier. I see eating a lot of eggs for breakfast but that's something I used to do all the time, but this time there won't be cheese involved. I'm really interested to see if this will help with some of my health problems, especially my fructose malabsorption.
Adding fructmal restrictions to paleo isn't too difficult, just can't eat some types of fruit, especially apples for some reason. The fruits I do best with are oranges and berries so I'll still have some I can eat. Mostly I need to fill up on vegetables because most of those are good to go, except maybe tomatoes and onions but I'm still not positive.
Time to get my act into gear. Many changes have happened – I finished school, graduated, got a few jobs in health care but ended up losing my job. I have been unemployed since February and despite many applications and even some interviews I have yet to land an actual job offer. I had one that looked close, I even had two interviews, but they never called back after the second one even though it felt like it went really well. I have decided that it's time to get back to my health. I'm going to start slowly with walking and swimming.
I plan to start going to a morning water pilates class at the Y and go for lunch time walks around my apartment complex to start. Then I need to work on really cleaning up my eating. I seem to have developed fructose malabsorption issues and I really should clean out a lot of fructose and sugar from my diet. I need to get my kitchen cleaned up and re-organized so I can cook easier in there, right now there's not enough good counter space. I plan to move an extra tv stand I have into the kitchen to hold my microwave which will free up space. It will also give me more storage space for my crockpots and cookbooks.
I'm bringing the blog back because I need something to be accountable to and it worked before so I'm making it work for me now. I'm motivated by posts I see from Steve about his CrossFit workouts so I'm going to also try to create a bit of this for myself at home. I have some fitdecks that will help me pick out workouts to do as well as weights and such still.
So let's do this! I need to get back to biking, hiking, and racing!

Elbert Holman was appointed to the Stockton City Council in 2009 to fill the 1st District seat vacated by Steve Bestolarides who was elected to the County Board of Supervisors. In 2010, voters elected Elbert to continue serving as councilman.
As a retired investigator for both the Sheriffs Department and District Attorney's office, Elbert Holman has had a long distinguished career in public safety and is the only member of the City Council with hands on experience in what it takes to keep our streets safe.
Elbert started his career in law enforcement as a deputy sheriff in 1971. As a deputy, Elbert didn't just take reports, he solved cases. And within three years, Elbert was promoted to detective. He then went on to become a sergeant heading up both the Burglary and Homicide Units where he successfully investigated and assisted in the prosecution of many dangerous criminals. In 1987, Elbert was recognized by the National United Law Enforcement Officers' Association as one of the top African American Law Enforcement Officers in the United States.
After 20 years of service with the Sheriff's Department, Elbert accepted an appointment as an investigator with the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office, assisting attorneys with many types of investigations including homicides. Then in 1997, Elbert was assigned to develop a Welfare Fraud enforcement unit. The unit he created has become a model for other jurisdictions experiencing welfare fraud.
By 2001, Elbert Holman became the first African American in California to become Chief Investigator for the District Attorneys office. His work as Chief Investigator would help lead to the conviction of County Sheriff Baxter Dunn and his fellow conspirators, Monty McFall, N. Allen Sawyer, Lynn Bedford and Tyler Reves.
In addition to handling some of San Joaquin County's most notable criminal cases, Ebert also has the distinction of being part of a team of investigators that put many criminals on death row.
After a successful 34 year career in law enforcement, Elbert retired from the District Attorney's office in 2005.
Elbert Holman is a lifelong San Joaquin County resident. He graduated from Edison High School and went on to attend Cal Poly, UOP and the FBI National Academy. He and his wife Marcia attend the Mayfair Seventh Day Adventist Church in Stockton. Together they have two successful daughters and seven wonderful grandchildren.

Book: This Is What Happy Looks Like
Author/Authoress: Jennifer Brown
"From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sent: Saturday, June 8, 2013 1:18 PM
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: what happy looks like
Sunrises over the harbor. Ice cream on a hot day. The sound of the waves down the street. The way my dog curls up next to me on the couch. Evening strolls. Great movies. Thunderstorms. A good cheeseburger. Fridays. Saturdays. Wednesdays, even. Sticking your toes in the water. Pajama pants. Flip-flops. Swimming. Poetry. The absence of smiley faces in an e-mail.
What does it look like to you?"
Cover: 5/5
I love the tiny boat which is probably similar to the one Ellie and Graham sailed in during Ellie's 'mission' to find her father. I love the sun rising in the background which represents a happy time in their relationship but most of all I love the fact that the characters are silhouetted for their privacy- a major issue in this book. Another plus point needs to be given for the title. This Is What Happy Looks Like is not only a cute title but a fitting one too. Five on five for the cover.
Characters: 2/5
The characters in this book were not particularly strong which is peculiar for a young adult contemporary book.
Ellie is a normal small town girl who just so happens to be the illegitimate daughter of a famous politician. This is why she is constantly freaked out by paparazzi. She's an aspiring writer, enjoys long walks on the beach and eating ice cream. I won't criticize Jennifer's writing style- it's great, definitely the show not tell variety, but Ellie is such a cookie-cutter character. Quite honestly, she's a cliché. There's nothing really quirky or cool about her. Not her hair (which is a brownish red), her hobbies (mentioned above), her clothes (t-shirts, skirts and rubber flip flops) or her dreams. Maybe the ordinariness is part of her charm for some, but for me her normality was just boring.
Graham Larkin is kind of cliché too to be honest. He's a bit of a stalker and goes into long tangents about why his fame is so annoying. But other than that, I did like him as a character. He was definitely more quirky than Ellie was (it's funny how much I like character quirks)- He has a pet pig and obsessed with finding a 'whoopi pie'. I think this was part of what contributed to his sweet, lovable characteristic traits. When you look at all these details, do you really think that he's the kind of guy to punch camera people? No, me neither. I was kind of annoyed when he started to go out of character; I liked him sweet and cute, dammit!
One thing I really, really, really disliked about this book was the absence of support characters. In the beginning of the book we are introduced to Quinn, a super short, super cute character who is the main character's best friend and I thought she looked promising. My hopes were dashed, however, when she suddenly stopped being friendly with Ellie and just dropped off the radar. Olivia, Graham's co-star had the potential to be either a great character or a bad character but Jennifer Brown doesn't use her at all. She's not a character at all!
The parents in this book are not that great either. Sure, Ellie's mom is nice and protective but even then she doesn't make much of an appearance. We get a huge backstory about Graham's parents. About how they don't really support him in his acting career, how his home life is a bit strained, how he moved away and is kind of glad they don't visit, etc. But it all dissolves with a banal, trite phone call at the end.
If fate sent you an email, would you answer?
When teenage movie star Graham Larkin accidentally sends small town girl Ellie O'Neill an email about his pet pig, the two seventeen-year-olds strike up a witty and unforgettable correspondence, discussing everything under the sun, except for their names or backgrounds.
Then Graham finds out that Ellie's Maine hometown is the perfect location for his latest film, and he decides to take their relationship from online to in-person. But can a star as famous as Graham really start a relationship with an ordinary girl like Ellie? And why does Ellie want to avoid the media's spotlight at all costs?
I dived into this book fully expecting a cutesy, fun, breezy read with cliché, cutesy, fun, breezy characters and a cliché, cutesy, fun,breezy plotline and that's what I got more or less. This book doesn't get any points for morality or profoundness. In fact it inclines slightly to the horribly cheesy. But the dialogue in this book is beautiful. It's what you could expect from teenagers. Natural, light and beautiful in it's simplicity.
"I'm not sure I'm quite finished saying hello yet."
"Salutations," he said, and she smiled.
"Good morning."
"Yeah," he said. "It really is."
"I never said I was good," he told her, taking the pen. "Just that I liked doing it."
"That's the best kind of good."
See what I mean?
Romance: 2/5
It wasn't insta-love. Or at least that's what I tried telling myself. They had written e-mails to each other for almost three months, right? But, no matter how I tried to think about it, I couldn't forget the fact that this story effectively takes place over the huge (sarcasm) span of five days. Definitely enough time to build a strong, stable romance. Yep, definitely.
I was so not on board with the whole damsel in distress thing either. I kind of wanted to jump ship when he made a bet (in her favour) for a thousand bucks so that she could use the money to go to a poetry course at Harvard. Feminism, anyone?
Plotholes: 2/5
No one accidentally pen pals a stranger who ends up being a movie star. But it's just a book and this is excusable too anyone who's just looking for a fun, easy, light read. I honestly didn't have too much problem with this part. After all, if I can read books about vampires and witches without complaining that they're unrealistic, I can do the same for this one.
The worst part of this book was the fact that as soon as problems reared their ugly head, they were smoothened over miraculously with very little effort on either of the character's parts. Got caught and recognized by paparazzi as the illegitimate child of a famous politician? No problem, that's only a tiny footnote in the article which exclaims boldly that you're Graham Larkin's girlfriend. Seeing your parents became rarer and rarer after you became a movie star and worrying that it's your fault? It's not because they disapprove of your career, it's because the flashing lights of Hollywood are too much for them. Punched a cameraman? Oh it's okay, your director says you need to look tougher for your role in your next movie. I kid you not, these were actual problems and solutions in the book 'This Is What Happy Looks Like'. Though some things in life really do come together at the last minute with virtually no effort, most things do not. And this is not just unrealistic, it's an unhealthy message too. You can not solve your problems by waiting, doing nothing and hoping for the best.
Overall recommendation: 2.5/5
I'm not even sure why I liked this book. I read this book within the week so it may be recent book syndrome. After all the character's were boring, the romance was unrealistic and the plot was kind of cliché. But there's other things about this book too. The sweet emails that were sent back and forth, the quest for 'whoopi pies' and the quick, natural banter all brought a smile to my face. I wouldn't recommend buying this book but if you ever get a chance to borrow it, please do.

Do You Really Understand Pleading The Blood of Jesus? by Elaine Davenport (Monday, December 31, 2007)
I often wonder if people truly understand pleading the Blood of Jesus. The Blood of Jesus is a covering and it's protection…complete protection…but it's not some kind of "magic."
Jesus himself assures our coverage…you need to understand that before you plead the Blood of Jesus.
Tell Satan: The Blood of Jesus is against you and mean it.
I heard this story:
Some people went in to rob a bank and put everyone on the floor.
After shooting one customer in the back of the head, they moved to the next person.
That person had just received a teaching in church about the Blood of Jesus from their pastor. When the robber put the gun to their head, they said: The Blood of Jesus is against you.
The robber said something like: I can't shoot them…and then moved to the next person and shot them in the back of the head. I am sorry to be so graphic but the Blood can save your life if you'll just take hold of this. Some people may reject this message, but my job was to deliver it.

'Even war discriminates': Yemen's minorities, exiled at home
Since the onset of the Saudi-led military campaign in March 2015, the conflict in Yemen has resulted in more than 5,700 documented deaths and 27,000 people injured as of November 2015.
This report focuses on the impact of the conflict on religious minorities, and looks into the situation of the little-known Muhamasheen community. It provides an overview of the background context, including the continuing conflict and rising sectarianism, and makes recommendations for effective protection of Yemen's minorities.

Original Stories Rules!
Hello to everyone! I would like to ask the admins of Original Stories some help regarding my own posted story. I can't seem to find the answer for this because I have tried posting the second chapter multiple times and it says that it should wait for the post to be check or moderated by the admins. My Bible Academia Challenge 1st chapter and 3rd chapter all seem to be okay. Please help me what do i need to do?!
Contact the admins through PM. Generally they try to check posts for spam if it's too long >_<
Edit: Oh wow this was in February, so I guess you already got it resolved. Nvm.
I just trying to post a thread before, but get removed. What do i do wrong, how can i submit my story here?
Hey, so I keep trying to post my chapters on my story. It keeps saying that it has to be approved. It has been about 24 hours but nothing has been posted yet. Is it a bug or am I just impatient?
It has been a couple days since I first attempted to post my chapters. I have tried multiple times but still, nothing goes through. I would really like this to work, does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Edit: I was able to post my first chapter in 600-word increments, but after posting the first four sections, it no longer works. Again it is giving me the same issue of saying it needs to be approved but nothing is posted.
hi new here, ive written a couple chapters on google docs and its about ~15k words. could i just create a new discussion and post the doc link lol nevermind, just figured out how the spoiler thing works.
edit: well, my first chapter has been waiting approval for a day now so.. i've just linked my google doc for all the chapters i have atm
My novel is yet to be approved. It's been like two weeks, but nothing changed. It would be greatly helpful if someone could tell me what's going on...
I have a question that is more on the business side, and I know that RWX said that they wanted us to write stories due to wanting to share them. I want to be an author as my side job instead of normal side jobs in college. I want to know how much money original authors make on wuxia world, or is that info not able to be shared with the public?
Wanted to check, I'm posting 15 chapters here as a test to see if there's interest. Is that okay? I have it published elsewhere, and don't want to publish it here and have to worry about updating two sites if there isn't enough interest. That's why I want to do the test first.
how do i post an original story ? or urr where do i do dat
Can anyone help me with the approval thing it has been 3 days and nothing got approved? It breaks my mood to continue posting here.
Haymore said:GreakArk said:Can anyone help me with the approval thing it has been 3 days and nothing got approved? It breaks my mood to continue posting here.
Hello! I'm working on an original story right now and I was wondering how the process works? I saw that you need to have your story approved before you post it? Is that still the case? Any kind of guidance is helpful. Thanks!

by Holly Green, CEO of The Human Factor
They say that we live in the Information Age. That may be true, but many days it just feels like the Distracted Age.
From the time we get up in the morning until we lay our heads on the pillow at night, we're bombarded with information from countless sources. Advertising, email, voice mail, texting, Twitter, Facebook, TV, radio, iPods, smart phones – the list goes on and on.
And yet, the problem isn't so much the amount of information; it's that it all seems urgent. This sense of urgency makes it hard to tell what we really need to attend to now, what can be delayed, and what can be ignored altogether. These constant interruptions make it increasingly difficult to focus on the task at hand.
Which, in turn, makes it harder to keep our thoughts positive and stay focused on winning.
That's why I keep a sign in my office that says, "Of what you do today, what will have an impact a year from now?"
I'm big on visual reminders as a way of staying focused on the goal. This sign is important because it reminds me that what seems urgent today may actually have little impact on the big picture. It reminds me to pause for a few moments, review what I have planned for the day, and make sure I focus on those tasks and activities that support reaching my destination.
I also love to ask "what if...?" questions to help people think differently and see the world from new perspectives. Here's a few that can help you stay focused on winning rather than all the informational clutter that gets thrown your way:
- What if you started each day by taking three minutes to ponder whether what you have on your agenda for the day will really matter a year from now?
- What if you paused briefly to get really clear on the progress you will make towards winning, including what you'll do today and, probably more importantly, what you won't do?
- What if you paused from time to time during your day to check the thought bubbles going through your head? Are you focused on problems, blaming and "stuck" thinking? Or are you exploring options, possibilities, and solutions?
- What if you made a habit of organizing your day around winning rather than around interruptions and things that seem urgent but really aren't?
I can hear the excuses already: "I"m too busy!" Or, "I don't have time for that!" But the fact is we have the same amount of time we've always had. We just allow ourselves to get distracted much more easily.
Ultimately, we're the ones who decide what we direct our time and attention to and what we ignore. And that's why taking the time to organize our day around winning is so critical. The mind follows what we focus on. And when we focus on winning, we dramatically improve our chances of achieving it.
When we get clear on winning, we can make better decisions. We're not so easily distracted because we know what needs to get done. We can discuss winning and share it with others, so that we can measure progress in a myriad of ways. We can give more productive and impactful feedback. And we can align others to our vision of winning without invalidating our thoughts on their performance.
Here's the tricky part: organizing our day around winning doesn't just mean getting better at time management. It does us no good to work more efficiently on the wrong things. Instead, it's a process of starting each day by identifying the highest priority tasks and activities that deserve our attention, and then refusing to let the onslaught of interruptions interfere with what we need to do.
Obviously, some interruptions require immediate attention. Suppose, for example, your best customer calls and says they're about to take a hike due to poor service. That would certainly fall under the criteria of making a difference a year from now. When you apply that criterion on a daily basis, you'll be amazed at how many tasks, activities and interruptions can fall by the wayside with no ill effect.
The one trait that ALL winners share is they focus on the right things. Pausing to organize your day around winning will get you focused on the right things and drive the results you need to achieve in order to win.

Wormhole Games forms to take on tablets
Wormhole Games sets sights on tablet mobile gaming
Game industry veterans Jamil Moledina and James Kelm have broken away from their former development studio (Funzio) to open up their own. The developers have launched Wormhole Games, a new development studio with a focus on social games designed specifically for tablet devices. The studio aims to usher in a new era for the game industry, one focused on meshing the qualities of classic games with the community aspects of social and mobile games. If the studio can tap into the massive hype surrounding mobile gaming, it may be able to find the success it is looking for.
Tablets offer new avenue for the game industry
Mobile gaming has been on the rise for years, but has only been gaining serious traction since 2010. As mobile devices become more common and powerful, the kind of games they are able to support also become more impressive. Tablets, in particular, have become a very promising platform for mobile games. The larger screen and higher processing power of tablets allow developers to create high resolution games that can make use of more resources than titles designed for smart phones and smaller devices.
Wormhole Games to draw from traditional models while reinventing them
Wormhole Games will have a strong focus on transforming traditional industry models while still using these models to etch out success. The studio is one of the few that is focusing exclusively on the tablet platform for its mobile games and Moledina and Kelm believe that their mix of social and traditional game mechanics will earn respect within the game industry.
Mobile gaming continues generating buzz
Mobile gaming is showing no signs of slowing down. Consumers are demanding better mobile games and more variety. Many mobile games tend to be very similar, due to the fickle nature of consumers and the difficulty developers can have in keeping these people entertained for long periods of time. The tablet platforms offers a little more flexibility, but it has yet to be seen whether Wormhole Games will be able to deliver on its vision.

Protect our Choice for Drug-Free Milk—Without Bovine Growth Hormone (rbGH/rbST)
Unlike Raw, Organic Milk, conventional store shelves are lined with numerous brands of hormone, chemical, DDT, fungicide, defoliant and radioactive fallout, cow's milk produced by abused animals injected with rBGH. HB2121 is a bill that will make it very complicated for national dairy brands to properly label their products as rBGH free. Please email Governor Sebelius before the deadline to veto HB2121, which is April 16th.
Quick rBGH Facts (Genetically-engineered bovine growth hormone)
Despite the lies by Monsanto and the FDA rBGH is unsafe for humans and cows alike.
• rBGH makes cows sick. Monsanto has been forced to admit to about 20 veterinary health risks on its Posilac label including mastitis and udder inflammation.
• rBGH milk is contaminated by pus from mastitis induced by rBGH, and antibiotics used to treat the mastitis.
• rBGH milk is contaminated by the GE hormone which can be absorbed through the gut and induce immunological effects.
• rBGH milk is chemically and nutritionally very different from natural milk.
• rBGH milk is supercharged with high levels of a natural growth factor (IGF-1), excess levels of which have been incriminated as major causes of breast, colon, and prostate cancers.
• rBGH factory farms pose a major threat to the viability of small dairy farms. Thus, rBGH enriches Monsanto while posing risks but no benefits to the entire U.S. population.

Diseases Home > Cures for Leprosy
In the days before there were effective antibiotics, there were no cures for leprosy. People who had the disease were isolated and developed severe disabilities and disfigurements. However, antibiotics are now available, and early treatment often reduces the chances of any long-term disabilities that develop prior to successful treatment. The most common antibiotics used as cures for leprosy are dapsone, rifampin, and clofazimine.
Prior to the discovery of antibiotics, there were no cures for leprosy. Lepers were segregated for extended periods of time and developed severe disabilities and disfigurements as a result. Today, leprosy is easily cured with medicines. The challenge is in identifying people with leprosy early so that treatment for leprosy can begin. Early treatment can reduce the chances of any long-term disabilities that develop prior to successful treatment.
Leprosy can generally be cured with antibiotics that kill Mycobacterium leprae (the bacteria that cause the disease). Because Mycobacterium leprae can be resistant to certain antibiotics, a combination of antibiotics is often used. The three most commonly used antibiotics are:
- Dapsone
- Rifampin
- Clofazimine.
Treatment of leprosy differs depending upon the form of the disease. Treatment will generally continue for one year for tuberculoid leprosy and for two years for lepromatous leprosy. With treatment, less than 0.1 percent of people will fail to be cured of leprosy.

That picture there? That's my 365th pic.
I've written about my participating in the 365project before, and posted some pictures.
I started the project on January 1, 2010.
Which, theoretically, means I should have finished at the end of December.
That didn't happen.
Instead, here we are, two and a half months later, and I'm just wrapping up. (My Reconstruction project is running even more late. Alas.)
But I've now posted 365 pictures. Hoorah!
I wanted to do something "special" to mark the completion of the project. I wanted to shoot a picture in a mirror of my iPhone, since it was the camera with which I took almost all of the 365 pics. I decided to go with a rear-view mirror for the picture to kind of symbolize looking back from the end of the project. And decided to make it a bit of a self-portrait as well.
To be honest, I'm not sure how much I've gotten out of the project. I chose to use my iPhone almost exclusively so that I could really work on my composition, since that's about all you can do with an iPhone, it lacking the fancy settings of my DSLR. The fact that it was terribly convenient for submitting the pictures was just an added bonus.
The problem was, I was wrong about composition being about the only tool the iPhone has. Sure, it lacks a lot of the DSLR settings, but mine now has an onboard suite of photo-editing software, which over the course of the project I became increasingly reliant on. My pictures were getting better, perhaps, but not because my actual photography skills were improving.
I took some pictures during the project that I really liked. I took a lot of pictures during the project that just met the daily quota. I really don't have any sense of whether I'm any better at taking pictures or not.
Regardless, I'm going to keep going. I've met the 365 goal, but there's nothing stopping from just continuing to take pictures.
I may change my approach; if there's a day I don't have a picture, I may be less likely to just take a picture I'm not happy with purely for the sake of having one.
We'll see.

May is always a bittersweet time of year.
The gross part of spring is fading away, summer is fast approaching and school lets out for the next three months.
But school is letting out for the next three months.
In middle school, the end of the school year represented something so much different than it does now.
It meant cleaning out your desk, writing "HAGS" (the eloquent abbreviation for "have a good summer") and "you rock never change" in everyone's yearbook and knowing that if you wanted to, you could see every single person that you sat next to in class that summer.
It's not the same anymore.
Now, the end of the year means sleep deprivation, packing up the contents of a closet that could fill up a small palace, mass amounts of caffeine and heartfelt goodbyes.
That's not to say that May as a college student isn't fun.
I think it's safe to say that every campus becomes twice as breathtaking and triple the amount of fun once the weather gets nice.
Especially JCU.
There are actually signs of life on the quad and there always seems to be music playing from someone's open window.
May also means that we get to go home and see our families, not to mention vacations and no textbooks (unless you're taking summer classes…sorry).
And although all the good may override the bad, it really is a little bit of a reality check to sit back and think about how different our lives are now compared to what they used to be.
The last thing I needed to worry about was a summer job – all I focused on was seeing as many friends as I could at the pool any given day.
Life was tough back then.
Then, all I wanted was the last day of school.
Now – okay, I still feel the same way. But now, summer doesn't mean just a break – it's a break from my second family, too.
I don't know what I would do or where I would be without the friends I have here.
I severely underestimated how life-changing college would be, as well as how much the friendships would mean.
When your first family can't be there with you, that's when your second family comes in to save the day and pick you back up. They're also there to make fun of you when you make a fool of yourself, but that comes with the territory.
In my humble opinion, making friends in college is arguably the best part of the experience.
Who would want to leave that behind?
I understand that friends are only a text or phone call away, but nothing compares to being two doors down from some of your best friends.
Then again, a lot of people have friends who live next door at home, unlike me. So maybe I'm just a cry-baby.
Leaving everyone was hard enough last year, and it won't be any different next week. I can't imagine what it must be like for the seniors – sorry, not helping.
My friends from high school are wonderful, too. And there's really no place like home. Home-cooked meals and quality time with the fam are always special and the freedom of walking into your bathroom with no flip-flops on is a whole new level of luxury.
But in the summer, there are no roommates to come back to and talk to about the day. Ramen is no longer considered a normal choice for a meal.
There are no common rooms to hang out in with your friends that live next door.
In the summer, there are no Warrensville parties and bingo nights to look forward to.
The summer is still great, but for different reasons. And it's still sad to go home and leave your college friends behind for a few months.
But that only means we'll be that much more excited to come back in the fall.
Best of luck to the seniors in whatever their future has in store. And to everyone else, enjoy your last weekend of the semester and good luck on all of your finals.

It was the end of the year and I could see it in them again. Tired. Cranky. Intolerant. Needing space from humans. Needing to just be a horse.
These amazing horses have poured out sooo much again this year. Felt the brokenness of hearts. Waited for those confused. Softened for those who hurt. However did God created a horse to do these special things? Each carried out their assignment in their own unique way. Surely a mystery. Surely a miracle.
Some hearts came for only a short time – they got too close to the hurt inside – they decided not to risk. The horses carried the unresolved emotions. Some hearts came for an extended time – pursued the healing – and took the roller coaster of pain all the way to joy. These "gifts" just took the ride with them. It is always a wonder to watch young and old – as their eyes squint to try to figure out what's being heart-revealed – as their body language changes to attempt to communicate with the horses with a new relational skill learned – and sometimes, as the tears come with relief of a heart spilling. And the horses stay close and risk.
But, God knew our needs, so He created seasons – and now we are in the season for all at the ranch to just be. For the humans to reflect on His goodness and cuddle in His presence for the cold winter months. And, for the faithful herd to play in the pasture – to kick all those risks into the winter snow – needing to just be horses.
And me? Feeling a little cranky. Feeling a little worn out. Feeling a whole lot empty. And … feeling guilty of my feelings. This was God's work – He would surely continue to provide me with all I needed – He would surely continue to pour out through me – right? Thinking, surely I was not needing this slow-down season in my life. I would just take more supplements and work harder to keep going.
But … oh no. He loves me too much. He was drawing me into needing-to-just-be.
So now, in this season, I am practicing being; reflecting on His goodness and cuddling in His presence for these cold winter months. A smile. Warm tea. Fuzzy blanket. Fire in fireplace. Horses in snow. Silver moon making earth and horses blue. A heart emptying busyness to be peace filled.
My season of needing-to-just-be His.
Maybe … a run in the pasture with the horses?
Or … maybe not … thinking it's the season to just walk.
Merry Christmas ! Celebrating HIS birthday so we can enjoy the reason … blessings and joy in just being HIS.
just being –
Roxanne Van Riessen

The researchers suggest that ejaculating may prevent carcinogens accumulating in the prostate gland.So guys, don't forget to flush, flush, flush them out regularly, ok.
The prostate provides a fluid into semen during ejaculation that activates sperm and prevents them sticking together.
The fluid has high concentrations of substances including potassium, zinc, fructose and citric acid, which are drawn from the bloodstream.
But animal studies have shown carcinogens such as 3-methylchloranthrene, found in cigarette smoke, are also concentrated in the prostate.
Dr Giles said fewer ejaculations may mean the carcinogens build up.
"It's a prostatic stagnation hypothesis. The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them.

Wanking is good for you
I wonder why I didn't blog about this sooner. Researchers say that regular masturbation can help men reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer. Yup. Wanking is good for your body after all. From BBC:

Home schooling is a completely different experience from school. When I first decided to do home schooling at Aham, I had no doubts at all in my mind as I knew that I would be able to focus on my studies as well as do activities that weren't provided at school (Robotics). Homeschooling helped me remove distractions and focus on in-depth learning for any chosen subjects.
Gautham Veerapaneni (Home Schooling, 10th Grade, IGCSE Board)
At Aham, I learn Math and Physics. Teachers are very supportive and facilities are very clean. It is very nice that they use technology for visualization. All doubts are clarified both within class and outside of class.
Karthik Tamanna (10th grade, Chirec International School, Hyderabad)
I have been with Aham for almost two years and I have learnt more than I could ever dream of. I am even more confident on all my concepts and have learnt more as well. All the teachers are kind and helpful, and never refuse to clarify my doubts. I also participated in special courses like Techpreneurship and Functional Programming. The courses are very interesting and give me knowledge that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else for my age. Overall, Aham provides an excellent learning experience and I don't plan on leaving it any time soon.
Siddarth Veerapaneni (8th grade, Sreenidhi International School, Hyderabad)
Aham's style of teaching is different from any other teaching approaches you have in schools. It's focus being on concepts, and not a particular syllabus, it ensures that the student can really grasp the subject and develop a sound foundation for the basics. I feel that Aham has helped me look at mathematics from a completely new perspective and it has in fact helped me improve lot in the subject. I would definitely recommend Aham for any subject.
Ria Thimmaiahgari (Currently at Duke University, USA; Attended Aham in 11th &12th Grades at Indus International School)
Aham in a short span of 2 weeks has changed my perception of Math from being scared of it to doing it with confidence. Aham did not make me memorize anything rather they taught me how and why.
Ramya Chitturi (Currently at Symbiosis, Pune; Attended Summer classes at Aham in 12th grade while at Chinmaya International Residential, Coimbatore)
Thanks for your patient hearing. Had we not found Aham, we would not have thought of shifting my daughter Smita to Hyderabad.

As we drove up this long winding dirt road, we finally reached "Mount Olympus"! I was struck by the villa's beautiful natural colors and appreciated its subtlety. "Where is everyone?", we thought. Oh down there. One of his 4 kids was clearing out a dirt path on a tractor, and up walks this scrawny, cheerful man in rubber boots. This was Marco the builder.
He gave us a tour which seemed like something out of Cribs, but listening to him talk passionately about all his choices was the most enchanting thing of all. Wheat was planted in the front yard instead of grass, his farmhouse is made of straw, he lets his hundreds of animals including rabbits, horses, and goats run free.
It was time to take a tour of the house together with his sparky fun wife. They decided to use all types of wood, even old wood from pear trees for the hardwood floor. The paint colors on the wall were made of natural soils from the area, green copper and even hay! Much of what furnished the house was made from old scraps. One of the coolest things is that he made the sinks from crushed earthenware like terracotta, just like they did in Ancient Rome. In this way, he is simply turning the most basic natural materials into stratospheric masterpieces without using chemicals and cement.
Touring around this huge house worked up our appetites, and kindly they asked us to stay for lunch. Of course this natural type of lifestyle was carried over into eating with the whole family and eating genuine products made by them. The simplest ingredients became a king's feast, just like their natural materials became a luxurious villa. I looked at my watch. I should be wine tasting and networking right now in Alba but why would I ever want to leave this. After all, I had their organic, personal production of amazing Barbera to sip and enjoy exclusively. They only have 1 acre of vineyards! I stopped to enjoy the moment and although we were too late for Vinum, I felt lucky to have met people who inspired us to live the "dolcevita" and respect the environment in everything we do.
I can always find a wine festival to attend, but it is not every day that you are welcomed into such a beautiful home to drink genuine wine, eat homemade bread, salami and talk about philosophy. This was the truly unique experience I was looking for!

There was a time when baseball cards from the 1970s were lukewarm at best. The pre-1970 cards were very desirable and even the 1980s cards seemed to sell quicker on the market. Maybe it was the odd designs or the players of the era, but whatever the reason, the cards seemed "soft." Over the last few months, the perception has changed.
Demand for baseball cards of the 1970s are, all of a sudden, surging. I remember, not too long ago, when dealers kept telling me that they couldn't move their 1970s inventory, but now collectors seem to be moving towards that era. One reason behind the surge might be collector evolution. In other words, collectors who were buying cards from 1980 to present have started to move backwards in time. This is a natural occurrence; most collectors seem to move in this direction as they become more advanced.
It's funny because I can remember the time when 1970s cards were not really considered vintage, but now those cards are 20-30 years old! My, how time flies. In fact, the 1970s baseball cards are deceptively difficult due to very poor printing quality at the factory. The players who were dominant stars of the 1980s and early 1990s are almost all retired at this point. While there are a few guys still around who technically entered the league in the 1970s, like Rickey Henderson, their rookie cards were produced as part of 1980s sets. Even Henderson, a future Hall of Famer, does not have that much time left in his career.
The surge might also be attributed to the former stars coming back into the spotlight as Hall of Fame voting occurs each year. The players, who were at the top of their game within the last 10 years or so, are now being enshrined. With many collectors placing extreme emphasis on Hall of Fame players, you can see why demand has increased for these fairly recent additions to the Hall. Let's take a brief look at some of the key rookie cards of the 1970s.
1970 Topps Thurman Munson #189 - Not a Hall of Famer but a real fan favorite, Munson was one of he best catchers in baseball during the 1970s. A shocking and tragic death halted the great backstop's career prematurely, but Munson almost has a "cult-like" following in the hobby. You just never see this card offered in true mint condition, a deceptively difficult card.
1971 Topps Steve Garvey #341 - Again, this guy might not ever make the Hall, but he was a true fan favorite as a Dodger and a Padre. Durable and consistent, Garvey was a perennial All-Star selection for the National League at first base. His career numbers fall short of spectacular, but everybody knows who he is and this black-bordered beauty is tough.
1971 Topps Don Baylor/Dusty Baker #709 - This card offers an interesting combination. Both players had solid careers, they could hit and hit with power. Baylor even won a MVP as a member of the California Angels. They are also fine managers in today's game. In fact, Baker is widely regarded as one of the league's best as the manager of the San Francisco Giants. This is also a very tough card.
1972 Topps Carlton Fisk #79 - This Hall of Fame catcher is one of the most recognizable players of his era. Fisk had a flair for the dramatic and his workman-like attitude made him a favorite in Boston and Chicago. With well over 300 home runs, he was also one of the more powerful hitting catchers in baseball history. This is the only key rookie in perhaps the most attractive set of the decade.
1973 Topps Rich Gossage #174 - I know what you are saying, "Why include this guy on the list?" I will tell you why. There have been rumors in the baseball circuit that relievers are going to get more consideration from Hall of Fame voters in the future and nobody was as dominating as Gossage in the American League. This guy had some kind of fastball and he was a classic closer.
1973 Topps Dwight Evans #614 - Once again, here's a guy who probably won't make the Hall, but he was a fine all-around player and a fan favorite. He could hit for power and had an absolute rocket for an arm in right field. Boston Red Sox fans adore this guy.
1973 Topps Mike Schmidt #615 - The best third baseman in baseball history, need I say more? He is also part of the 500 home run club, a 3-time MVP and he won 8 Gold Glove Awards in a row. The card has been overlooked for quite some time. It's not extraordinarily difficult, but everyone should own this card.
1974 Topps Dave Parker #252 - "The Cobra" will probably never make the Hall, but he was one of the best players in the game for a time. A great throwing arm, a powerful bat and, believe this or not, good speed early in his career made Parker a force. Considering his accomplishments, his card can be acquired for a very reasonable price.
1974 Topps Dave Winfield #456 - This recent Hall of Fame inductee could do it all. An amazing athlete, Winfield was a college standout in just about every major sport. He was even a dominating pitcher! With over 3,000 hits and 465 home runs, Winfield was a dangerous man at the plate. His rookie card has received a lot of attention recently due to his induction.
1975 Topps regular and mini Robin Yount #223 - With over 3,000 hits and a couple MVPs under his belt, Yount was a first ballot Hall of Famer. Yount was also a very likable and humble man, which added to his appeal. He wasn't blessed with the talent of a Winfield or Parker but Yount squeezed every ounce of potential out of his body. This card is part of a set that features more key rookie cards than any other set of the decade.
1975 Topps regular and mini George Brett #228 - One of the finest all-around hitters of his era, Brett combined power and touch with an unrivaled intensity on the field. Most of us remember Brett and the infamous "Pine Tar" incident. Did you see the look in his eyes? I don't know if anyone was more competitive than this guy was. Being as member of the 3,000 hit club, excelling in the postseason and hitting .390 in 1980 makes this guy one of the very best players of his generation. He was an overwhelming choice for first ballot induction to the Hall along with Yount.
1975 Topps regular and mini Jim Rice #616 - I really think that this guy has a decent chance, somewhere down the line, of being inducted into the Hall. It might be a result of the Veteran's Committee, but his numbers are close. At the present time, this rookie card can be acquired for a very reasonable price. If he does get in, you will be glad that you picked one up now. He was a great slugger, has one MVP under his belt and drove in a lot of runs. The only problem is that he retired at a young age so he probably lost some homers, which would have looked good on his total.
1975 Topps regular and mini Gary Carter #620 - This guy, without question, will be inducted into the Hall within the next couple of years. His overall statistics are right there with Fisk's and, in some cases, better. Carter was the best catcher in the National League for over a decade. He hit with power and handled some very impressive pitching staffs along the way. A perennial All-Star selection and Gold Glove winner, Carter's rookie card should enjoy a nice upswing.
1976 Topps Dennis Eckersley #98 - This guy is a Hall of Famer without a shred of doubt, but the funny thing is that nobody talks about it. With almost 200 wins and 400 saves, this guy offers a unique combination of success as a starter and a closer. As a starter, he won 20 games in a season and threw a no-hitter. As a closer, he had a run with the powerful Oakland A's that was mind-boggling. In 1990, he had an ERA of 0.60, the lowest in history for a pitcher with 25 or more innings. In 1992, he won the Cy Young and MVP. The hair and the "slingshot" delivery make him an unforgettable player.
1977 Topps Andre Dawson #473 - This guy was an outstanding all-around player one of the few members of the 300-300 club (at least 300 stolen bases and 300 home runs). "The Hawk" was an imposing figure at the plate, the guy looked like he didn't have an ounce of body fat on him. His vicious swing accounted for 438 homers, including a season-high 49 in 1987 in route to winning the National League MVP. He may not make it into the Hall on the first try but, at some point, he will be a member.
1977 Topps Dale Murphy #476 - Why this guy doesn't get more Hall of Fame consideration I'll never know. He won back-to-back MVP Awards in the mid-1980s and was widely regarded as one of the best players in the game for much of the decade. Murphy was also a fine outfielder with plenty of Gold Gloves under his belt. Why is he ignored so much? Maybe it's because he faded from stardom in such an ungraceful fashion. It was like one day he woke up and just couldn't hit anymore. He also fell just short of 400 homers. A very good career and a wonderful personality might get him more consideration down the line.
1978 Topps Eddie Murray #36 - Very few players have reached both the 500 home run club and the 3,000 hit club but Murray is one of them. His fellow members are Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, wow! Murray was so consistent that his year-to-year accomplishments almost went unnoticed. A .290 average, 25-30 homers, and 90-110 RBI was just another Murray-like year. His rookie card can be found sharp, but centering and print are two entirely different subjects. All in all, a very undervalued card and overlooked player.
1978 Topps Paul Molitor/Allan Trammell #707 - Both players were stars, but it was Molitor that went on to a Hall of Famer career. With well over 3,000 hits, Molitor has basically ensured induction as a member of this exclusive and popular club. By the way, Molitor also stole over 500 bases, scored over 1,700 runs and had a 39-game hitting streak, the fourth longest in history. Trammell had a solid career with a good bat and he also won four Gold Gloves as a shortstop. His accomplishments, however, are "icing on the cake" because most collectors want this card because of Mr. Molitor.
1979 Topps Ozzie Smith #116 - He wasn't much of a hitter, but "The Wizard of Oz" could make unreal defensive plays from shortstop. Smith redefined the position by bringing a level of athleticism never seen before. He also helped lead his team, the St. Louis Cardinals, to the World Series on three separate occasions. With the new breed of power shortstops dominating the game, it will be interesting how the Hall of Fame voters treat Mr. Smith. Regardless, his rookie card is one of the most popular cards on the list and it might be the most difficult example to find centered.
There are other interesting rookie cards like that of Lou Whitaker, Fred Lynn, and Keith Hernandez, but these are considered the keys of the era. The 1970s baseball cards can offer an affordable alternative to the super high-priced examples from the pre-1970 era and also a level of difficulty not seen in the post-1980 market.
