J.D. Mundt earns First Team All-State Honors
J.D. Mundt has been named to the All-State First Team by the Kentucky High School Baseball Coaches Association.
Mundt had a great season at the plate hitting .312 and putting up a .452 on-base percentage. He was a nightmare for pitchers, but Mundt really shined on the mound himself. J.D. finished the season with a 7-0 record in 9 games pitched. He had 35 strikeouts while only allowing 34 hits, posting an ERA of 0.98 and a team-best WHIP of 0.74.
Mundt will continue his baseball career at the University of Louisville, next year where he will join 2014 First Team All-State selection and Former Tiger Austin Clemons.

I think that everybody has a moment when they first feel the need to leap to action for the safety of their child. I'm not talking about doing research for safety issues, or deciding on the healthiest way to feed your baby, or leaving baby home instead of bringing him into a dangerous (or just less than ideal) situation. I'm not even talking about taking baby away from somebody who is making him uncomfortable for some reason. I'm talking honest to goodness sudden danger that makes a parent spring into action. My moment happened while we were in Wisconsin. Spoiler: it turned out that there wasn't actually any danger. But, we thought that there was, which is what really matters, I think.
Here's the scene:
My parents' house is full of people for Chanukah. Me and S and LL. My brother and SIL, M and A, and their three kids, who will now have official blog nicknames: Bee (boy, age 8), Sam (girl, age 5) and LiLi (girl, age 6 months). My parents. My grandfather (age 86). Several additional older relatives. The menorah is lit for the last night of Chanukah. Food is cooking on the stove. After several days of S and me both complaining that the house is too cold, and wondering whether my parents' furnace is working properly, the house is now pleasantly warm from the cooking, and from all of the additional people in the house. Outside, it is 15 degrees Fahrenheit, with a fresh layer of ice. The kids are happily opening presents.
Then: BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The carbon monoxide (plus other things) detector goes off. Very loudly. The digital display just says "gas", and the numerical reading which normally reads 0 suddenly reads an alarming 221. Honestly, I don't even know what the units are. But when the number is supposed to be 0, a reading of 221 in just about any metric is alarming. Especially when the oven is on and there are several candles burning. Even more so when we were just commenting about a possibly faulty furnace. We know that it's not just a bad battery because the detector plugs into a wall outlet, and the electricity is working fine.
S and I grabbed LL's coat and bundled him up as quickly as we could, then did the same with LiLi, freeing up A to tend to Bee and Sam, who were freaking out a bit from the noise and urgency. My mom turned off the oven and stove, then ran to call the fire department. My grandfather blew out the Chanukah candles (not knowing what kind of gas the detector was referring to made open flames seem like a bad idea). Less helpful: my father and my brother stood in a corner arguing about what gas the alarm might be referring to, and how often one should replace smoke detectors. Even less helpful than that: one of my uncles, who is a perfectly capable able-bodied middle-aged man, went and got himself a snack, then returned to the couch to watch the rest of us scrambling to get the kids (and ourselves) out the door without leaving ourselves open to frostbite. (Remember: 15 degrees outside.)
We slipped and slid down the driveway and up the street towards a neighbor's house (the fire truck passed us on the way) where we waited for the all-clear. Everything turned out okay -- the firemen went through the whole house with their instruments and ultimately declared it perfectly safe (faulty carbon monoxide detector, apparently). And it was kind of nice to visit with the neighbors. I used to babysit for these neighbors, and their youngest daughter was home last week for winter break from college, where she is a senior majoring in international relations. Yes, the same little girl who, as a two-year-old, made me read Berenstein Bears books to her over and over and over and over has now explained to me her plans for graduate school, after which she hopes to work in South American diplomacy. I feel incredibly old. But I digress.
Our little gas scare was the first time that I really felt like LL was in any serious danger, and my overwhelming need to get him out of the house as quickly and safely as possible was pretty over-powering. As was my annoyance at the many relatives who put on their own coats, then just stood around getting in the way instead of doing anything helpful. (Really? You can't help Bee find his boots? You can't help Sam get her hat on? You can't help open some doors to air out the house? You can't help me figure out how to shut off the furnace before we leave?)
Other than the threat of the house blowing up or my entire family dying in a haze of poisonous gas, Chanukah was a lot of fun. My mom and I made a treasure hunt with little poem clues for Bee and Sam to follow, with their presents waiting at the end of the trail. ("Sam likes unicorns and LL likes bears. / For your next clue look at the bottom of the stairs.") Though some of my more creative poems were vetoed by my parents. Something about age appropriateness and the need for Bee and Sam to respect their parents. ("Bee and Sam love to sing songs. / Go look where your Dad used to hide his bongs.") And everyone respected my request to only get LL toys for 6+ months that encourage free play and don't need batteries -- things like alphabet blocks and shape sorters and pushable toy cars. (Though the toy that was the biggest hit with everyone was for LiLi: this jar of bugs, which looks and sounds odd, but all the kids loved it. In particular, LL and LiLi both very much enjoyed chewing on the spider.) Also, Bee started Hebrew school a few months ago, so he got to read the prayers when we lit the menorah, which was cool to watch. All in all, a fun holiday!

Mama Bear

That must have been terrifying. I'm glad it turned out to be a false alarm.ReplyDelete
Harry received that same jar of bugs from my office, along with a solid assortment of other toys. And he too enjoys chewing on the spider. Yummy, yummy spider legs.
that is a fantastic toy!ReplyDelete
I am glad it all worked out ok, gosh the whole cold/snow thing just boggles my mind. Having to get all bundled up outside seems like such a hassle to me, then through in emergency situation. Wow
Wow, that's scary.....ReplyDelete
glad it turned out to be nothing. Nothing like a Mama Bear coming out to protect her baby!!! Must have been a brand new feeling for you...

Former AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato is currently on loan at Sao Paulo from Corinthians and last night produced a fantastic performance in a 4-0 win over Vasco da Gama.
The 25 year old scored one and assisted one but also produced a fantastic double Chapeu to wow the Sao Paulo crowd.
Once considered one of the best strikers in Europe, Pato's career has nosedived somewhat but he still has plenty of time to get back to the top.


text: "The Deer Hunter" should not have been as good as it is. The production was beset by major problems from the start, including bitter infighting, a terminally ill cast member, a runaway budget, and a narcissistic director who may not have been cut out for the job. But it hardly mattered. The Vietnam War drama won five Oscars at the 1979 Academy Awards, and is still widely regarded as one of the greatest films of the 20th century.

My Cooking Spot // Sweet + Savory Salmon
During the winter my husband and I love to eat our fill of stews and soups. Made with homemade bone broth to keep us healthy and because a warm bowl of stew is just so comforting to eat alongside a fire on a chilly winter night. We like to mix in some lighter meals to balance it out and this week I was craving the lightness of a salad. We baked this salmon, flaked it with a fork and mixed it in with some greens, cherry tomatoes, blueberries and homemade vinaigrette. A super simple dinner that we absolutely savored.
I love that this can be prepared all in the morning (perhaps before you leave for work) and the only work required in the evening will be to pop it in the oven!
You can find the salmon portions in the seafood section at your grocery store. We have been using plain goat yogurt and loving it's tangy mild flavor, but feel free to use any kind of plain yogurt here -- Greek, full fat milk, or any other. We use coconut aminos instead of the regular soy sauce to avoid soy as much as possible and choose a healthier option. And it tastes exactly the same! I've seen it in the natural/organic section of our grocery store, or you can pick it up online. I also keep my salmon in the freezer until I'm ready to make this dish, so it doesn't go bad sitting in the refrigerator for a few days!
This recipe serves two people, but if you'd like to add more, just add one salmon fillet per person and a 1/2 cup of warm water to the marinade.

Practicing Lawyers as Law School Faculty
Yesterday marked the start of the winter term for University Students. It also marked the start of the teaching term for some of my colleagues who offer their practical experience to law students by acting as Sessional Instructors. Many practicing lawyers give their time to this worthy activity.
At the University of Alberta Law School, there are 20 courses this term taught by sessional instructors – they are designated with a X in the course number if you are curious enough to follow the link. The University of Calgary Law School also has a long list of sessional instructors.
This is not an Alberta phenomenon of course, Osgoode Hall Law School's list of adjunct faculty contains many members of the practicing bar.
First, let me express my thanks to all those who devote time and energy to allow for new members of the legal profession. Second, a special thank you to those who offer their extra experience as faculty who also practice law. I see first hand the hard work and dedication that is required by practitioners who also teach.
I have a question for law student readers of Slaw, or others who would like to share. When you are building your law school schedule, what criteria do you use to pick your courses? Do you place higher weight on courses taught by practioners? Do you try and balance your course selections with pure academics and practitioners?
I'm from Laval University, in Quebec (now attending the Quebec Bar School). When building my schedule, my main criterion has always been the teacher. In addition to asking advice from other students, I did try to balance my selections with pure academics and practitioners. Even though we can't deny that their approach is different, it seems to me that they are both relevant. I must admit however that some practitioners appeared to be less available than academics.
Hi. I just graduated from Osgoode (June 2012 – and btw still looking for family law articles in Barrie ON). I chose courses entirely by subject matter, and based on how many days a week I could afford to drive to school. Without exception, I found the courses taught by practitioners to be far more interesting – the focus wasn't on the principles derived from cases, or the progression of historical development of the law – but on real cases and the day to day issues that they faced – what kinds of cases come up most often, what procedural issues delay cases, and how to work around them, real life ethical issues of clients who lie, or don't pay, or harass their lawyers – which judge thinks (or decides) which way – how to help a client that won't do what they need to do to get their kids back (and not get too involved at the same time). Fascinating stuff for me. I tried to 'make up' my own course that would have allowed me to sit in child protection courtrooms 2 days a week in my last term, and write about what I learned. The judges I spoke to allowed it, and I found a law professor willing to supervise me – but the Administration at Osgoode (as wonderful as they are) refused to approve it. Until this intake year, only a competitive minority were allowed to take 'courses' that involved ANY kind of practical work -and I was not 'chosen'. I really think law students need to be in the courts (or at the bargaining table) on their first day of law school (indeed – for the whole first month!) and to keep a foot in this real world all the way through.

Smoking will be prohibited in public housing residences nationwide under a federal rule announced on Wednesday.
Officials with the Department of Housing and Urban Development said that the rule would take effect early next year, but that public housing agencies would have a year and a half to put smoke-free policies in place. The rule will affect more than 1.2 million households, the officials said, although some 200,000 homes already come under smoking bans adopted voluntarily by hundreds of public housing agencies around the country.
The nationwide ban will have its greatest impact in New York, where the New York City Housing Authority — whose 178,000 apartments and more than 400,000 residents make it the largest public housing agency in the United States, has lagged behind many of its counterparts in adopting smoke-free policies. While HUD proposed the sweeping prohibition a year ago, it had been prodding public housing authorities to adopt such policies since 2009.
The New York agency, which had asked HUD unsuccessfully for three years to phase in a ban, issued a statement on Wednesday saying it was "fully committed to providing an environment that promotes resident health as part of our vision of safe, clean and connected communities."
Anti-smoking advocates consider smoke-free housing the latest major front in the long-running campaign to curb exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. The rule covering public housing forbids cigarettes, cigars, pipes and hookahs (or water pipes) — but not electronic cigarettes — from being smoked in all living units, indoor common areas, administrative offices and all outdoor areas within 25 feet of housing and office buildings.
Housing agencies that already ban smoking said they enforced their policies through warnings and fines coupled with education, including counseling and smoking-cessation aids like nicotine patches.
"The last thing that we want are evictions," Julián Castro, the HUD secretary, said during a call with reporters.
"We don't see this as a policy that is meant to end in a whole lot of evictions," Mr. Castro said. "We're confident that public-housing authority staff can work with residents so that that can be avoided."
Health officials said that a significant amount of smoke could be transferred between apartments and that alternatives, such as improving ventilation, did not eliminate the ills of secondhand smoke, including causing or aggravating conditions like asthma and lung cancer. Children are especially vulnerable; 760,000 of them live in public housing.
Housing officials said that although the federal government would not help to pay for enforcement, the public housing authorities stood to save money in averted fire losses and reduced costs for painting and cleaning smoke-damaged units.
The final rule followed a period of public comment during which some opponents took exception to the government's telling people what to do in the privacy of their own homes.
In New York, there was also concern about whether police officers would be involved in enforcing the rule; that will not be the case, Housing Authority officials said.
Smoking is already prohibited in the lobbies and hallways of the city's public housing buildings.
In answer to a question, Mr. Castro said he was confident that the incoming Trump administration would not have a problem with the ban because "the public health benefit to this policy is so tremendous, and the residents' support for going smoke-free is so tremendous out there, that this rule will stick."
"Public housing will go smoke-free and remain smoke-free, and, because of that," he said, "so many folks are going to live healthier lives and have a better shot at reaching their dreams because they have good health."

Dear Ezekiel Todd,
I'm excited, buddy. I think it's almost time! I can't help but feel you're body will not be suffering much longer. You're laying in the hospital bed next to daddy as he seems to be your favorite at night. I'm very much okay with this.
Your iv is in and you don't love it but I think you'll learn to. I imagine that this iv is being held by angels who sing over you, giving all praise to Our Heavenly Father. Praising Him for all He is and the work I believe He is doing in you right now. As you lay so peacefully, I can't help but think it's time.
I am over here on this very small bed and I was looking up other ways to help you, sweet boy. Realizing your body has been fighting so hard to keep out foods you're allergic to that it's been unable to differ between the good and bad so, your body fights against itself.
After I found good information to work off of for now, I was able to finally rest on this small couch-bed and I just cried. I cried out to God saying, "I know what I want again, God! I want this to be it! I'm so ready for Your healing hand to come down. Please, please. May Zekey be healed now. May Your kingdom come in his body tonight and forever and ever."
My tears and prayer were interrupted by the nurse who come in to check on you every hour. I remember this all to well when we were in the hospital for your ketogenic diet. Every hour they came in and woke you up. You already had a difficult time going to sleep so this was added stresser on you, and on me. It was a very difficult 4 nights as you were poked, prodded and there was room for more respect than we were shown but that's okay, sweet boy. God had other plans. We just needed to wait and trust and as always, follow His lead.
Here we are, at a place that has brought much redemption. Dr.'s who seem to understand you better. Dr.'s who are moving quicker and have better options. Dr.'s who have led you to this bed that you lay so peacefully next to daddy.
I cannot say for sure it's the time but I cannot lie and say I don't think it is, because I do. I'm hopeful. I'm excited. I'm loving that you're sleeping and not waking up. Something is different. Something seems good for once. I sit here and I'm peaceful.
I should be trying to sleep on this couch-bed thing. But as I prayed again, I felt this warmth and peace after I asked God to just hold me, to hold you. And then I had no exhaustion. I felt I needed to write this letter to you.
I have been praying for the day you are healed and how I'll express that no matter how it's done, it's a miracle by God. If Dr.'s are involved, how do I explain that without God, you wouldn't be healed? How do I make sure this time we've gone through, watching you waste away, slipping through our fingers as we tried to grasp what we could not? How, sweet boy, do I tell them it was the hand of God who saved you and not just mere humans?
Who created these men and women Dr.'s and nurses? Who knit them together in their mother's womb? Who had a plan for their lives long before they were even born? Who gave them the gifts of knowledge and wisdom and the brains to be able to understand things I cannot? Who? God did these things and more.
Who listened as so many of The Body prayed on your behalf? Who is even capable to hear more than one, let alone billions of prayers at once and tend to them as if there was only one? Who? Our heavenly Father.
And who loves us not only to live a perfect life but died the perfect death so that we could have eternal life in heaven? Who loves us so much that he's sitting on the right hand of The Father interceding on our behalf? Who? Jesus, the son of God.
And who can we say brought us the comfort that no human could as you suffered and as we cried so many times? Who can we give credit for leading readers to read your story and to pray? The Holy Spirit who is alive and working.
A beautiful dance of The Trinity.
Oh, sweet boy. May everyone who has heard your miraculous story understand these very things. That although I will be forever thankful for the actual humans (Dr.'s, prayer warriors, friends, family, etc.) who have played a part in all of this, I will not deny that it was God who was in it the whole time, blessing us with these lovely people. It was He who had a plan that was far more intricate that any of our minds could understand here on earth.
When you are walking and running and talking again, I do hope that you too will understand who blessed you with healing. That God never owed it to you or us, but graciously brought down His healing hand upon you, sweet boy. God chose you for a story that is touching thousands and maybe someday, millions.
May your words be full of praise for what God has done! May daddy and I never forget this 1.5 years of hell on earth and how God made it a beautiful sign of His power, grace, goodness and might.
And we're all so excited to get to know you more. What a beautiful thing! I know Cyrus and Eisley have been wanting to hear you tell them you love them because they love you, buddy. What a celebration we have ahead of us!
My prayer that I'm sure will not ever really have an end:
"Praise You, heavenly Father. For what you've done in our hearts and minds the last year and a half. Of course, we lift up Your name for Zeke's healing. I will forever be grateful. May Your kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven as we wait expectantly for revival on this earth. Where more and more hearts are turned to You, for You alone are worthy.
I pray this with true peace, that You've done and are doing what so many of us have prayed for on Zeke's behalf.
Amen. May it be so."
Your momma who loves you so!

As I mentioned in a previous post, this past February I took off for a 5 month backpacking trip around Asia. I spent the first month trekking in Nepal. For the second month (March), I took on India – which, admittedly, was not the brightest idea to do as a female traveling solo. It was such a mind-f*ck being immersed in a culture where gender roles are so warped. I felt like I couldn't do anything or go anywhere without being hassled by Indian men. And you know the stereotype of how Indian men view western women as being very open and easy? I'd assumed that was an exaggeration – whatever, I can hold my own, I'll be fiiiiiine. Well, unfortunately I can confirm that this stereotype exists for a reason: it's TRUE. I've got first-hand stories to back it up. Ah well, all in the name of adventure, right?
India as a whole was exhausting and frustrating for me, but there were some good things about it too. The palaces are gorgeous and unlike other architecture I've seen. Seeing the Taj Mahal was undoubtedly a highlight. Escaping to the far north to Rishikesh was a much-needed retreat from the chaos of Rajasthan. And of course, the whole reason I went to India in the first place: HOLI! This festival of colors has been on my bucket list for years, and I'm so glad I finally got to experience it firsthand – though not without being hassled.
One really cool thing, though, is that I've photographed 2 Indian weddings since returning from Asia. I have a whole new appreciation for them after having traveled around India. They are just beautiful, beautiful events. I'll be blogging those weddings here later this year!
I'm a Brooklyn Wedding Photographer, but if you are getting married overseas I'd love to be your destination wedding photographer. Contact me for more details!
For more details and photos from my 2013 Asia trip, check out my travel blog! Here is a selection of 20 of my favorite photos from India:
yeah i love traveling, but where can we get a officiant here?
The place is nice and perfect for a filming a movie.
Love the photos. the colors in India are just amazing. Their fashion and their clothes are a photographer's dream comes true in terms or bright color contrasts.
I specially loved the second photo, with the sun light coming through the window and completely changing the ceiling colors in comparison to the parts in shade. Very cool!
Looking at the city feels like I'm on an Assassin's Creed Game.

Integrated Genomics Awarded EPA Butanol Production SBIR/
CHICAGO, IL - March 14, 2007
Integrated Genomics has been awarded a Phase 1 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop methods to improve the bio-production of butanol. Currently butanol is produced from petroleum feedstock.
Dr. Anamitra Bhattacharyya, Integrated Genomics' Vice President of Research, says the company is currently trying to produce higher yields of butanol by reducing the effect of solvent toxicity on the production microbes. Existing technology, he notes, falters beyond 1.3-1.5% butanol as the microbes are poisoned. Integrated Genomics' will engineer the metabolism of the bugs in order to develop microbial strains that have higher levels of tolerance to butanol. This will involve using in-house comparative genomic and molecular genetic approaches. Dr. Bhattacharyya says preliminary results are promising and within six months the company hopes to find a partner with which to scale up the technology. Butanol is a superior biofuel compared to ethanol for various reasons: butanol has higher energy content than ethanol; is easier to handle, and can be added at higher concentration to gasoline blends.
About Integrated Genomics, Inc.

Day at the Zoo!
4th of July
Later that afternoon Madison had her first wading pool experience. After about 10 pots of hot water added to warm it up she still cried. Hopefully she will do better in swimming lessons next week.
That evening, Jordan, Katie, Ally, Amandaand another friend all came for pizza and fireworks. Madison did really well. She didnt love the ones we did in the street but watched the big town fireworks and the crashed for the night.

The Beach
Madison had her first beach experience on our camping trip. Poppy and Daddy gave her a ride in her very own princess carraige to keep the sun out of her eyes.
She was pretty tired while we were on the beach, but she loved the wind in her face. She didnt really seem to interested in the sand.
1st Camping Trip
We went on our first family Camping Trip the weekend before the 4th with Melissa's extended family. We went to Newport. Madison did great! Other than not getting enough naps she was a wonderful baby. We went on a small bike ride(another first), To the Historic Bayfront, and her first experience at the beach(more pics to come). We had a wonderful time with our family.
Playing with Daddy!
All Bundled Up! We brought along her playmat to use in the playpen. She loved being down and able to kick. My aunt's dog watched closely near by.
Proud Uncle Bubba!
Aunt Katie
Happy Family!

more Mommy 2 Mommy pics
Mommy 2 Mommy
We have a wonderful class at our church called Mommy 2 Mommy that Nana Kay teaches. It is a wonderful place to get advice from other moms and just get out from time to time. We had a potluck at mom's house to say goodbye to some dear friends. Christa and Charlotte have moved to California and we will miss them terribly. Charlotts is the baby on the left with all the beautiful hair. Here are some pics from the chaos. There were so many babies everywhere.
Madison and Sydney
Father's Day!
We spent the Saturday before Father's Day with Grandma Molly and Grandpa John.
Then went to Nana and Poppy's Sunday for a BBQ and to celebrate Poppy's bday! It was a great weekend.
Best Friends!
Dara and I had a little fashion show with the girls. We dressed them up in all of their matching outfits and took tons of cute pics. Here are some of them.
6Months- June
Madison and Milo! They are best buds.
She found her feet this month. They have become a favorite toy.
She is eating Cheerios and fruit/veggie Puffs now and can pick them up on her own. Milo waits for her to drop them.
She is sitting up on her own more and more.
Her first tooth cut through on Father's Day! It is so cute. We haven't been able to catch it on camera yet though.

My name is Julie Foster.
Welcome to my website.
I am a Fitness Instructor and One to One Personal Trainer working in various gyms and health clubs in Blackpool, Poulton, Thornton and throughout the Fylde area. I have many years experience in the health and fitness industry. I started my passion for fitness by going along to my local gym and working out and participating in different exercise classes. I trained whenever I got any spare time and also took up running.
I enjoyed it so much I knew I wanted a career in fitness and so took various comprehensive courses and decided to take things further and go out there and teach fitness to those who needed it.

Baseball teams always try to go above and beyond for their fans. Many franchises rely on promotional giveaways to draw large crowds and fill their stadiums. Specifically, the San Diego Padres will use marketing events and sponsored gifts for the rest of the 2013 baseball season. Ron Fowler, the team's executive vice chairman, said in a statement that Padres want to show their appreciation for all the support through small presents.
"The fans asked and we listened. Providing more, unique giveaway items and promotional events is our way of showing Padres fans that their feedback and their support matter to us. We appreciate them, our players appreciate them, and we're excited to spend our summer together at Petco Park," Fowler stated.
The Padres will be giving away fedoras, reusable tote bags and other items during events throughout the remainder of the season. The gifts should convince some fans to buy tickets and come to the park.
This is a lesson that all small business owners should learn. Using promotional items and scheduling events in advanced can help ensure that customers actually visit the establishments. What's more, logo-emblazoned products help bolster brand recognition.

This little peninsula is a holiday force to be reckoned with, home to 13 kilometres of coastline and some seriously gorgeous All Inclusive resorts. Days here on a holiday to Cuba are spent meeting the local wildlife, hopping from spa treatment to poolside and sunning yourself on white sand shores.
As with wining and dining outside the hotel sphere, much of the retail spots on the island are in Pueblo La Estrella. Daily markets help to satiate all of your hand-crafted souvenir needs, while duty-free prices on cigars and spirits ensure you'll get the best price on local specialities. There are also markets and malls found in the towns closer to the bridge road, where any and all shopping needs can be met.
Cayo Santa Maria might not be home to a staggering number of restaurants, but as a result of being popular for cheap Cuba holidays, it still offers a decent array of cuisines, most of which can be found in Pueblo La Estrella, the area's main tourist town. Your hotel, on the other hand, will vie for your attention with it's own collection of restaurants, as part of the All Inclusive offering. Regardless of where you choose to dine, you'll be met with ample opportunities to nosh in the open air, beneath palm fronds or overlooking the beach.
Aside from the bars and lounges found at hotels, Pueblo La Estrella is where you'll find the island's handful of nightlife opportunities as well. There are discos, cigar lounges and even a billiards centre here, although things are widely kept laid-back come nightfall. There are also a whole lot of cocktails on the beach and under the stars.
The beauty of Cayo Santa Maria is in just that – the peninsula's beauty. Inland has been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, so you know hikes here are bound to be gorgeous. It's part of the Jardines del Rey – which translates to 'Gardens of the King' – archipelago for good reason.
Stints on Cayo Santa Maria are largely spent catching glimpses of local wildlife. Just beneath the ocean's surface and off the island's coast is the world's second largest barrier reef. You can join an organised diving trip via boat or catamaran cruise and paddle past angel fish and barracudas, or grab some snorkelling gear of your own and see what's swimming alongside you at the beach.
Cayo Santa Maria is home to Latin America's largest dolphinarium, the Delfinario en Cayo Santa Maria. Here, you can see dolphin and sea lion shows, and even get a chance to high five Flipper in special interactive excursions.
If you want to kick back and relax, there are just as many opportunities to sink your toes into warm water with cucumbers over your eyes. The island is home to a number of spas at luxury resorts, where finding your Zen is a piece of cake.
Accommodation in Cayo Santa Maria takes luxury holidays to a whole new level. It only became a holiday destination in the early 21st century, so the facilities here are all designed with the modern tourist in mind. With only 12 hotels on the entire peninsula, what they do, they do well.
Each of the hotels in Cayo Santa Maria are All Inclusive and feature 4* and 5* amenities. They come equipped for all of your holiday needs, with swimming pools, sporting facilities, evening entertainment and more dining options than your stomach will know what to do with.
Being a peninsula, Cayo Santa Maria is treated to 13 kilometres of wrap-around coast, the full length of which is open to the public. Six of those white sand kilometres make up Playa Santa Maria, the archipelago's most popular beach. It's where the majority of the hotels are located, all of which are keen to take advantage of the stunning waterfront views.
The shores of Playa Santa Maria are largely shallow, although the ocean here has been known to get a little rougher than when it reaches the other Cayo Islands. If this beach doesn't suit, there are an assortment of other smaller, quieter beaches tucked along the rest of the long shores in virtually every direction. They're all edged by beautiful natural reef formations.
Found along Cuba's northern coast and forming part of the Jardines del Rey archipelago, Cayo Santa Maria stuns with white sand beaches and crystalline waters as far as the eye can see. It's connected to the mainland and the other Cayo Islands by a bridge and road that crosses over the ocean, so even though the almost-island feels other-worldly, it's actually very much part of the pack.
Developed only in the early stages of the 21st century, Cayo Santa Maria is still a relative newcomer to the holiday scene. But with its dusting of All Inclusive resorts, a dolphinarium and the second largest barrier reef in the world just off its coast, it's well set-up for visitors already.

Lawn mower drivers cut loose at races
Ride-on lawn mower racing is becoming an increasingly popular sport, with about 30 drivers expected to compete at an event on the Sunshine Coast today.
Sunshine Coast Mower Racing Association president Gary Boegheim says male and female drivers will be competing at the Pomona showgrounds.
The mowers can reach speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour and Mr Boegheim says he loves the sport.
"I've been racing for 25 years now in different forms of motor sport; I got into mowers once I first got married and had a family," he said.
"I couldn't afford to keep racing speedway so I got on board with the mowers and it's cheap, it's good fun and just something different."

Britain's Coastal Railways with Julie Walters
You can't move for celebrities on trains these days. If it's not Joanna Lumley gosh-wowing on the Trans-Siberian Railway or Michael Portillo steaming across Europe with a suitcase full of freshly-pressed red slacks, it's Paul Merton discovering Britain's Secret Stations or Chris Tarrant… doing whatever it is he does on Channel 5. Probably catching the Stansted Express to Tottenham Hale, knowing their budgets.
But Julie Walters – now that really is someone you'd want to share a flask of Bovril and a Scotch egg with on a long train journey. And so it proved, as one of our most precious national treasures began her coastal railway tour with a Highland fling that proved the perfect showcase her salty, earthy humour.
'Has Michael Portillo been on this train?' she asked one crew. 'I just thought I could smell Lynx.' It's the sort of line that might have been written for her by her old friend Victoria Wood. Admiring the engineering that went into the West Highland line, meanwhile, she concluded: 'It must have been a bugger to build.'
At Fort William, she boarded the famous Jacobite steamer – immortalised in the Harry Potter films as the Hogwarts Express. 'Finally, Mrs Weasley's on the train!' she cheered, having previously only got to wave off her young wizards from Platform 9 ¾.
As you might expect, Walters – who always felt drawn to the sea as she grew up in landlocked Birmingham – had a lovely manner with the various muggles she encountered on her travels, including a crofter called Morag in a town with more Highland cattle than people, and a man called Andy, with whom she enjoyed a flirtatious romantic interlude as they gutted herring together.
'I'm such a speedy old fizzbrain, somewhere like this is heaven,' she sighed, while exploring a deserted Skye. And that's half the appeal of the show, which unfolds at such a gentle, ambling pace it makes Countryfile look like Peaky Blinders. In an age when life comes at us at the speed of a bullet train, sometimes it's nice to puff along via the scenic route, in the company of a dear old friend.
TV extra:
From the cinematic John Ford landscapes to the local sawbones conducting an anesthetic-free amputation and a grizzled outlaw's fire-and-brimstone sermon from the saddle of his horse, Netflix's sumptuous, slow-burning new Western leaves no box unticked. The twist is that, with most of the men dead, it's left to the likes of Michelle Dockery – a long way from Downton as a tough widow – to defend their town against lawless desperados. Carson will be frantic with worry.
Employable Me
The excellent series about disabled jobseekers began its second run by introducing us to Andy, the former MD of a motorbike school left partially paralysed by a stroke, and Ryan, whose desire to lead a normal life is constantly frustrated by his severe Tourette's. By turns heartbreaking and inspirational (the tenderness shown by Ryan's patient, supportive boyfriend was just lovely), it's a sobering reminder of how far away we still are from that much-vaunted 'inclusive society'.

Floriano Santoro
has earned multiple degrees and works as a musician, producer, songwriter, sound designer, music
teacher, and guitarist for well-known labels. With 20+ years of experience as a musician, coach
and mentor for musicians and students, as well as a recording, mixing and mastering engineer, he
can boast about 300+ projects credited under his name.
His recording studio and Red Loft Music label, hosted in new premises since 2011, encourage creative and inspiring work. The top-class recording studio and spacious loft spread over a surface of 4090 sq. ft. provide a warm and comfortable environment.
SC407 – A true love story
While speaking about new studio monitors to a colleague who runs a music shop, the latter insisted that Floriano listen to the EVE SC407 before making a decision.
Floriano recalls:
"Usually I know exactly what I want and need, so initially I was a bit skeptical, because I was
sure that the the pair of monitors I had already chosen were the right decision.
But then I saw them – the EVEs. It was love at first sight. Their elegant and high-quality design made me speechless. But I had no way to know at that moment that the innards were even more convincing. I do know something now, though: I cannot work without them anymore!
I have worked in many recording studios with all kinds of monitors, but the listening was never
as much fun as with EVEs. From the very first moment, the monitors were the perfect fit for my
recording studio. No matter what's on the daily schedule, I can work for hours without any ear
The sound reproduction is precise and frequencies are extraordinarily outlined all the way down to the lows. The level of detail is absolutely astonishing. The excellent stereo imaging and the low end are REAL. The SC407 give me an insight at all levels that I had never had before, which allows me to work intuitively.
It's all there, regardless of whether I mix loudly or softly. The flashing LED to indicate an overload is of great help... not that I need it, of course... ; 0)).
I'm not exaggerating when I say EVE provides something special... I can finally see with my ears. Everything I have produced with my SC407s so far I could hand out to the clients directly, without the need to double-check on other systems.
This saves me valuable time. EVE has become a very reliable partner for mixing and mastering who I know I can trust 1000%. That's what I call true love ;0))))!
Whoever records at Red Loft, gladly comes back...
For longer stays, you don't need to look for a hotel, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable and – if you so desire – independent stay at Red Loft.
But the Red Loft is much more than that. Up to four times a year we hold a Jam & Cocktails event where up to 80 people of all ages can have a chilled-out experience in the recording studio, as they would in a exclusive club, while musicians and DJs set the mood. Finally, specialized clinics and workshops are also held at Red Loft regularly."

Has Your Listing Expired?
Are you ready to sit down with the right Realtor to get your house sold?
I have assisted sellers, just like yourself, whose homes have not sold with their previous Agent/s
Here are a few important questions to contemplate:
- What is my house realistically worth in today's market?
- What will I net once the transaction is closed?
- What is your Mr./Mrs. Agent Plan of Action to get my house sold?
- What is your Mr./Mrs. Agent personal record of closed transactions can you show me the proof?
It is as simple as these 4 factors.
If a Realtor you are dealing with can't address these questions you are simply wasting your valuable time. A professional Realtor who understands the market, understands your needs, and has a plan to get you moved in an efficient and powerful way. Don't you owe it to yourself to interview such a Realtor?

Expert Care & Support for the Stages of Menopause
Menopause is the permanent end of menstruation. It represents a transition into a new phase in life, and can impact a woman's health and well-being.
Board-certified gynecologists, certified nurse midwives and women's behavioral health specialists at University Hospitals offer expert care, education and support for women throughout all stages of menopause, including:
- Perimenopause: The transitional period when estrogen and hormone levels begin to rapidly change and symptoms, such as hot flashes, begin to appear.
- Menopause: The time when menstruation and reproduction function stops.
- Post menopause: The stage after menopause when symptoms or issues may continue or new symptoms could occur.
Certified Menopause Experts
With training and credentialing through the North American Menopause Society, our certified menopause practitioners are experienced in managing menopause symptoms to ease women through this midlife transition.
For women experiencing issues such as loss of libido, vaginal dryness or pain during sex, we offer internationally recognized expertise in female sexual dysfunction, along with novel treatments and therapies, and access to clinical trials.
We have the experience and expertise to help women in every stage of menopause.
Multidisciplinary Approach to Menopausal Care
University Hospitals streamlines the process of exploring menopause symptoms and treatment options with our Menopause Clinic, one of only a handful of dedicated programs across the nation. The program offers a multidisciplinary approach to individualized menopause care, featuring:
- Treatment of symptoms, such as hot flashes, with hormonal and non-hormonal therapies
- Education and support groups
- Psychotherapy
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Therapy for sexual and vulvovaginal concerns
Care During Every Stage of Menopause
During perimenopause, our team offers general health screenings, assistance with contraceptive selection and routine gynecologic examinations. In addition, we provide assistance with perimenopause symptoms such as hot flashes, sleeplessness, perimenopause fatigue, mood changes and menstrual irregularities for women approaching menopause.
Symptoms of perimenopause may continue throughout menopause. Our team is here to help you through any symptoms or difficulties. We understand what you're experiencing and can provide helpful solutions to improve your quality of life.
During menopause and post menopause, our specialists continue to provide gynecologic health screenings, help with hormone therapy and alternatives, assistance with sexual health concerns and bone density testing and treatment.
Menopause Treatments Improve Quality of Life
Our team takes a comprehensive approach to care. We work with you to discuss the effectiveness and appropriateness of individual therapies, and determine the best treatment plan for your unique needs and goals.
Treatments may include:
- Hormone treatment for menopause: Before prescribing hormonal treatment for severe hot flashes, we discuss risks and benefits with each patient. While hormonal therapy is not for some patients such as those with a history of breast cancer, local therapy such as vaginal estrogen is safe and effective for most women.
- Menopause medication: Many non-hormonal medications can help with hot flashes and night sweats – or other menopausal symptoms.
- Alternative treatments: We also offer cognitive behavioral therapy to retrain the body to think of hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia in a different way.
- Sexual and vulvovaginal therapies: While most postmenopausal women will have changes in the vagina and vulva at menopause, only 3 percent of women mention this to their healthcare provider. The majority of women will have vaginal dryness and changes in sexual activity. These are normal changes at menopause that can be managed.
Group Education to Better Understand Menopause
We know that the menopause experience often feels isolating and abnormal to many women. University Hospitals is changing that with the only Menopause Discussion Group in the region. At these collaborative, small group meetings led by our team of menopause experts, we discuss a range of topics, such as:
- Changes associated with menopause
- Hormonal and nonhormonal treatment for menopause
- Cancer fears
- Relationship issues
- Sexual function
- Health issues related to midlife transition
Learn More about Menopause Management at University Hospitals
If you or a loved one has questions about menopause management, the menopause experts at University Hospitals can help. To learn more or schedule an appointment, call 440-720-3250.

Group's Volunteer Workday to Stop Plant Invaders on Riverwalk Successful
Zoe Need
Visitors to Jasper's Riverwalk Saturday morning may have been surprised to see "Stop Plant Invaders!" on yard signs and to be watching volunteers wrestle with some tough vegetation. The Invasive Species Awareness Coalition of Dubois County (ISAC) reports that the volunteer workday held at Jasper's Riverwalk on Saturday succeeded in removal of numerous invasive plants, including several hundred pounds of Asian bush honeysuckle, winter creeper, privet, multiflora rose and garlic mustard from the Riverwalk and the surrounding woodland park area. The plants that were removed are known for taking over natural areas, leaving little room for our native plants to thrive. The Jasper Park Department plans to chip and shred the removed woody debris to use for mulch. ISAC volunteers also planted native shrubs donated by Buschkoetter's and Green Thumb nurseries in areas where non-native plants were removed.
Other planned ISAC activities are to have a booth and hold "Discover the Riverwalk" strolls at Old Jasper Day on May 22, and to hold a volunteer workday at another public property in Dubois County this fall. Anyone interested in receiving information or email updates of the group's meetings and activities can contact Ron Rathfon at 812.678.5049 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Often, when I am in a bad mood or just generally feel grumpy, food will lift up my mood by a big notch.
I know that it is often just a mind-set but once in a while I think it is ok to be unsatisfied.
It gives you the opportunity to reflect and makes you think about actions you need to undertake to improve yourself and your life.
Anyway, in German we call something a Stimmungsaufheller, that literally means to brighten up your mood.
The Mister is very thoughtful and knows that I love the millefeuille from Joseph Brot.
At the moment they even have a different versions with fruit (but I still prefer the original one!).
The other piece we shared was a brownie tart with raspberries and white chocolate cream.

What is the Pilates Difference? It's the original resistance training. Let's explore the history and the Six Pilates Principles to learn why this exercise system is so effective.
The Pilates Method of exercise was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900's and originally called "Contrology". Joseph Pilates created this system as a rehabilitation program for prisoners of war and was credited with keeping all of them alive after a devastating flu epidemic. After the war, Mr. Pilates came to the United States and opened his studio in New York City where it became a popular way to rehabilitate dancing injuries. As its benefits spread by word of mouth so did the practice around the world. Pilates exercises are done on either on a mat on the floor or on exercise equipment developed by Joseph Pilates. The equipment used in Pilates uses spring resistance along with your body weight.
All Pilates exercises are easily modified and are adaptable for all ages and abilities
The Six Pilates Principles
These principles are the keys to a Pilates workout. The Pilates method has always emphasized quality over quantity–a key difference between Pilates and other exercise systems. Pilates exercises do not include many repetitions or heavy weights, another difference. In fact, some of the most difficult moves are performed with the lightest resistance. Performing each exercise with control and intention will accelerate your progress.
- Centering: Physically bringing the focus to the center of your body, the core/powerhouse area is between your armpits to your pelvis using the muscles of the abdomen and back. Pilates exercises are driven from your core and flow outward to the rest of your body.
- Concentration: Focusing full attention to the exercise and performing it smoothly with full commitment and intention.
- Control: Every Pilates exercise is done with complete muscular control. The Pilates method teaches that "you are in control of your body and not at its mercy"–the true meaning of "Contrology".
- Precision: In Pilates, mind/body awareness is maintained throughout each movement. You will gain more strength from fewer precise movements than many half-hearted ones. This can carry over to your everyday life as grace and economy of motion.
- Breath: Joseph Pilates emphasized using a full breath in his exercises, especially the exhalation. Breathing in Pilates exercises comes from the posterior lateral regions–the ribcage and back, not from the upper chest or lower abdomen. Most Pilates exercises coordinate with the breath, and using the breath properly is an integral part of Pilates exercises. Correct breathing is cleansing and invigorating. Joseph Pilates referred to the breath as the "internal shower".
- Flow: Pilates exercise is a flowing movement from the core. Fluidity, grace, and ease are the goals for all exercises. The energy of an exercise connects all body parts and evenly flows through the body.

Mitt Romney's chosen running mate, Paul Ryan, is the reverse of Sarah Palin. She was all right-wing flash without much substance. He's all right-wing substance without much flash.
Mitt Romney's chosen running mate, Paul Ryan, is the reverse of Sarah Palin. She was all right-wing flash without much substance. He's all right-wing substance without much flash.
Ryan is not a firebrand. He's not smarmy. He doesn't ooze contempt for opponents or ridicule those who disagree with him. In style and tone, he doesn't even sound like an ideologue - until you listen to what he has to say.
It's here - in Ryan's views and policy judgments - we find the true ideologue. More than any other politician today, Ryan exemplifies the social Darwinism at the core of today's Republican Party: Reward the rich, penalize the poor, let everyone else fend for themselves.
Dog eat dog.
Ryan's views are crystallized in the budget he produced for House Republicans in March as chairman of the House Budget Committee. That budget would cut $3.3 trillion from low-income programs over the next decade. The biggest cuts would be in Medicaid, which provides health care for the nation's poor - forcing states to drop coverage for an estimated 14 million to 28 million low-income people, according to the nonpartisan Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.
Ryan's budget would also reduce food stamps for poor families by 17 percent ($135 billion) over the decade, leading to a significant increase in hunger - particularly among children. It would also reduce housing assistance, job training, and Pell grants for college tuition.
In all, 62 percent of the budget cuts proposed by Ryan would come from low-income programs.
The Ryan plan would also turn Medicare into vouchers whose value won't possibly keep up with rising health-care costs - thereby shifting those costs to seniors.
At the same time, Ryan would provide a substantial tax cut to the very rich - who are already taking home an almost unprecedented share of the nation's total income. Today's 400 richest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million of us put together.
Ryan's views are pure social Darwinism. As William Graham Sumner, the progenitor of social Darwinism in America, put it in the 1880s:
"Civilization has a simple choice." It's either "liberty, inequality, survival of the fittest" or "non-liberty, equality, survival of the unfittest. The former carries society forward and favors all its best members; the latter carries society downwards and favors all its worst members."
Is this Romney's view as well?
Some believe Romney chose Ryan solely in order to drum up enthusiasm on the right. Since most Americans have already made up their minds about whom they'll vote for, and the polls show Americans highly polarized - with an almost equal number supporting Romney as Obama - the winner will be determined by how many on either side take the trouble to vote. So in picking Ryan, Romney is motivating his right-wing base to get to the polls and pull everyone else they can along with them.
But there's reason to believe Romney also agrees with Ryan's social Darwinism. Although Romney has carefully avoided specifics in his own economic plan, he has said he's "very supportive" of Ryan's budget plan: "It's a bold and exciting effort ... an excellent piece of work and very much needed ... very consistent with what I put out earlier."
At the same time, Romney wants to permanently extend the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy, reduce corporate income taxes and eliminate the estate tax. These tax reductions would increase the incomes of people earning more than $1 million a year by an average of $295,874 annually, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
Oh, did I mention that Romney and Ryan also want to repeal President Obama's health care law, thereby leaving 50 million Americans without health insurance?
Social Darwinism offered a moral justification for the wild inequities and social cruelties of the late 19th century. It also undermined all efforts to build a more broadly based prosperity and rescue our democracy from the tight grip of a very few at the top. It was used by the privileged and powerful to convince everyone else that government shouldn't do much of anything.
Not until the 20th century did America reject social Darwinism.
We created a large middle class that became the engine of our economy and our democracy. We built safety nets to catch Americans who fell downward, often through no fault of their own.
We taxed the rich and invested in public goods - public schools, public universities, public transportation, public parks, public health - that made us all better off.
In short, we rejected the notion that each of us is on our own in a competitive contest for survival.
By choosing Ryan, Romney has raised for the nation the starkest of choices: Do we want to return to that earlier time, or are we willing and able to move forward - toward a democracy and an economy that works for us all?
Robert B. Reich, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California and former U.S. Secretary of Labor, is the author of the newly released "Beyond Outrage: What has gone wrong with our economy and our democracy, and how to fix it," a Knopf e-book original.

- High Street Location
- Well established with many loyal customers
- Weekly newsbill £3,000
- Considerable potential in the right hands
- Rare opportunity to buy a large freehold property in prime high street location at a reasonable price
- Freehold option available without business
EM&F are delighted to offer a rare opportunity to purchase a freehold retail business located on the High Street of a rural Essex town.
The business presently operates as a very busy newsagent shop with 26 rounds serving some 700 customers in and around the town. But the shop is more than a newsagents as the more than 2,000 square feet of retail space is used to sell a variety of products including household, stationery, gardening as well as offering a key cutting service.
The premises' first floor is presently utilised for storage and office space but was previously a one bedroom flat and there seems to be no reason why it could not revert to this use. There is also potential to extend the first floor to the rear of the premises, subject of course to planning permission.
The business and premises has to be seen to understand the real potential and interested parties are requested to contact sole Agents Everett Masson & Furby to request a viewing.
PRICE: £350,000 to include the benefit of the Freehold property, Business Goodwill, Fixtures, Fittings & Equipment, plus stock at valuation.
Alternatively the property owners would consider the sale of the freehold premises with vacant possession and without the current business for a price of £299,950.

Most people who participate in gambling do so responsibly and for entertainment. There is, however, a small percentage of the population whose gambling behaviors become damaging to themselves, their family or their workplace.
In 1999, the National Opinion Research Center of the University of Chicago www.NORC.org completed a national (U.S.) survey on problem gambling prevalence. According to these prevalence studies, the problem gambling rates are generally about 1% of the population.

Helpful Home Hacks for RA Sufferers
Rolling out of bed in the morning can be a big hassle when your RA is flaring up, and any task that follows can seem near impossible.
But while medication certainly plays a role in your disease management, there are probably several things you could be doing differently to relieve some of the pain – and change your home life for the better.
From memory aids, clothing, jewelry, and rings for arthritis sufferers, robotic assistants and new ways of thinking, these home hacks for RA are guaranteed to save you energy and improve productivity.
Top Tools to Get You Through Your Day
More mobility aids and gripping devices hit the market each year, and while some will work well for your particular lifestyle, you might find that others are a big waste of money.
Instead of finding out the hard way, consider these devices – some high-tech, some low-tech – that promise a big return on your investment:
- Food processor. Chopping vegetables can take a lot of time and energy, which makes food prep (and by extension, healthy eating) difficult during RA flare-ups. Invest in a food processor to get the job done really quickly, or a low-tech food chopper that you operate with the palm of your hand to spare your fingers the pain of holding a knife.
- Whiteboard. RA pain, fatigue, and requisite medication can all hamper your thinking, which means you may become forgetful more often. Since you have a lot of things to keep track of, you should have an easy and clear way to organize them. A whiteboard can keep you and your family on top of your medication schedule and serves as a good reference tool in case of emergencies.
- Robot vacuum cleaner. Hauling a vacuum around the house is one of the biggest hassles for sore joints. There are new lightweight models of the traditional design out there, but if you're ready to buy a new device, why not take all the work out of it with a robot that moves and cleans all by itself? There are several brands, and some even feature a vacuum and mop combo.
- Paraffin dip. Many people with chronic pain find relief with warm, melted paraffin wax, which molds around your hands and feet to soothe inflamed joints. You can buy sets that include everything you need for your wax therapy. You'll get the most benefit when you use it right before bed or as soon as you get up in the morning. Paraffin is also really good for softening your skin, which means it can double as a moisturizer!
- Rubber bands. A simple rubber band is pretty versatile, so keep a supply within reach. Wrap a few around your jar lids for better traction, and loop them through zipper pulls to maneuver the small devices much more easily. Include some thick ones and thin ones in your stash, so you have one to suit any gripping task.
- Spice mix. Pre-mixing your spices in the kitchen can save you from fidgeting with little bottles, but it can also improve your RA symptoms. Certain spices are believed to help with pain relief and inflammation, especially turmeric, ginger, cayenne and black pepper. Mix these together in whatever ratio suits your taste, and make a point to incorporate your mixture into more dishes each week.
Whenever you're looking for new household tools or mobility aids, try to shop when your RA is flaring up. It may be more uncomfortable to drag yourself through stores with joint pain and stiffness, but this way you'll know for sure what devices will (and won't) work for you when you need them most.

I thought you were supposed to have your baby shower before you have the baby, and all my friends who have had children had theirs before.. But my entire family is SO shocked by this and say thats not how its supposed to be.. that there has to be a baby for people to come see for their to be a baby shower.. but it doesnt really make much sense to wait for things you have registered for until after the baby gets here..
So. were taking alot of heat for wanting to have it early... I dunno if im right and your supposed to have it before or if my family is right for thinking it should be after baby is born?

Reviews Essay Samples & Examples
If you have finished studying some books, be ready to receive the task to write reviews essays. You will have to analyze the literary work from different aspects. Don't try to embrace all the subtleties of the plot in one essay. Narrow down your topic to make it focused on one or several aspects of the book.
Writing a review requires objectivity. You have to research to compare different viewpoints about the same literary work. Begin your paper with telling who the author is, and which book you are going to analyze. Then, you need to focus your writing on an explicit message. Single out which motifs, symbols, stylistic features, themes, characters, or other aspects of your thesis statement. In the main body add examples, quotations to prove your tentative objective.
You can write a review of any book. If you wish, we can help you with this so that you won't spend time on doing this task. Ask any questions about the price and deadlines online and make your order.

Momentum Mag reviews the Lezyne Hecto Drive bike light Front/ Rear Pair.
FIND IT AT: lezyne.com
The Hecto Drive bike lights are lightweight and housed in an aluminum body with a side visibility design that allows 180 degrees of visibility. With 5 modes and up to 100 Lumens of power, these USB-rechargeable front and rear lights attach to a wide range of handlebar and seatpost diameters with a snap-fit Composite Matrix mount that is secured with a multi-position, silicon rubber strap for tool-less installation. Available in Black or Aluminum colors.
These lights are ideal for commuting in a fairly well-lit city environment. The front light doesn't throw a ton of light forward ,so I consider them primarily a signaling tool to other road users, something that says, "Hey, I'm here!"
I love the compact design and high build quality of these lights. I accidentally dropped both onto the pavement and there wasn't a scratch.
However, there are two shortcomings I found with these lights, one big and one small. The big one is the charging system. It's a mini-USB stub that flips out from the back of the light. In theory it should plug into something like an iPhone charger. In practice, the weight of the light means the USB stub tilts up within the charger and doesn't make contact with the leads. So you have to prop the light up to ensure there is contact and balance it just so. The minor quibble is with getting the lights out of their holders, especially the cylindrical front light. They can be a bit of a pain to get out of the holder at the end of the day.
Overall, I would recommend these lights for anyone commuting in the city and who wants a light set that will blend into their bike's design well.

Hey you,
another week end has passed, no sleep, but many adventures. The night started on Friday 9pm at the club Teine Maailm and ended on Saturday night in Nott. I almost split a ballerina in half a couple of months ago, I saw her again and poked her in the eye this time. She wasn't happy about that, it happens. I pissed off a relative I hadn't seen for years, but in the end we celebrated my birthday instead of fighting.
Blink blink it's my bling bling, the cool present I got for my birthday, a silvery steel bling with my name>
We had 67 guests at Fluon for the party and presents on Saturday. We didn't break the current record of 120 visitors, but I hope you came and enjoyed the free mp3 download of Frank call>

In a video interview feature with AusGamers, Destiny Senior Writer and Bungie community manager, Eric Osborne talks at length about striking a balance between the single-player experience, the game's core co-op experience and competitive multiplayer.
"So we want to make sure there's activities for every mood," Osborne told AusGamers. "It's super-important for us to not only recognise that there are players that just want to do one particular activity -- like there are players that just want to do story content, or just want to do competitive multiplayer, but there are a lot of players that do everything, they're omnivorous, so they play the story, and then they go play competitive multiplayer, then when their buddies are online, they go and do the cooperative stuff.
"So we're making sure that everyone has this steady dose of really interesting and engaging activities that feel really knew and fresh and, that the world feels like it's alive and dynamic is super-important, and supercritical. So we can do that through cinematics and through writing, but we can do that in a lot of ways, by enabling players to be the most important actors -- giving them agency in the world, making sure the sandbox is crafted that it feels different every time, giving them worthy enemies that are fun to fight, giving them a sandbox of weapons that are fun to use and interesting to go after and pursue."

When people start a small business, their first concern will be to get it recognized. Chances are higher that it becomes a full time job for most people. Therefore, you would be required to work hard in order to run your business. Contemplation would be how to stay ahead of your counterparts. It would be pertinent to mention here that you should search for options where the potential and targeted customers would visit your website more. It has been deemed important that you should surpass the ever-increasing competition. With so many things to handle, it would be difficult for most to manage online marketing needs. Therefore, you would be required to hire reliable and reputed seo services.
Choosing SEO agency suitable to your business needs
When it comes to choosing a SEO agency, you should be wary of a number of things. The foremost would be to hire the one that would cater to your needs in the best manner possible. The agency should be able to provide you with state of the art services for enhancing your marketing needs. The company should not be using illegal ways to handle your marketing needs. It has been deemed a crime in the online realm to make use of wrong methods and strategies for your entire business marketing needs.
Why maintaining website ranking is important
When you have a website of the company, you would be required to market and maintain it in the right manner. It would help you gain a competitive edge on your counterparts. It would not be wrong to suggest that you would be required to maintain your website ranking for gaining regular traffic. In case, you were unable to maintain your website according to the requisite rules and regulations laid down by Google, you would lose your ranking on popular search engines. Loss of ranking would imply loss of traffic and eventually loss of profit. Therefore, it is imperative that you maintain your website on regular basis.
What does a reliable SEO agency do for your business?
The first thing that the hired SEO agency would do is to perform a research in the industry of the company that would hire it. Their next move would be to research on the different variables that have been affecting your search engine rankings. It would be pertinent to mention here that every company has been deemed different. Therefore, you should look for an agency that would handle your needs in the best manner possible.

Why Do I Recommend (mostly) Lean Meats?
Filed under: General Health, Nutrition
A reader recently sent me a question that I thought many people may have, so I decided to provide my answer for everyone to see.
Q. Hi Brian,
I've been meaning to shoot you an email to thank you for a while. I purchased your nutrition information from Eric Cressey's Show and Go product. It's some of the most well thought out and realistic nutrition information I've ever read. I think you have a real knack for simplifying what others can make very complicated but at the same time educating and providing people with important reasons why their nutrition matters so much.
I wanted to ask you was in your guidelines I know you refute the commonly held belief that saturated fat is bad. In your shopping list though is lean meats. Is that just in case the meat is conventional and there are more antibiotics or hormones stored in the fat?
A. First off, thank you for the kind words, much appreciated. I like to think of that as my skill set as well!
The reason for relatively lean meats is because excess fat and calories is still excess fat and calories. While I don't think saturated fat is the devil, far from it, the goal isn't to eat as much of it as possible either! Eating lean meats allows you to decide what fat sources you want with that meal. Do you want olive oil, butter, avocado, nuts, or maybe you want fattier meat? In addition it's not like I am recommending 99% lean ground meat either (which tastes awful), I think 93% is a good compromise. Eating fattier meat will decrease the protein content and make it harder to hit your macronutrient needs within your caloric needs. Granted, if you know how to fit it in then go for it.
For example lets say you want to make a burger – going with say an 85% lean patty makes it more difficult to add other things to it if you like cheese or avocado with your burger, or you wanted to saute up some veggies in olive oil or something like that. Going with 93% allows for more flexibility without sacrificing much in taste.
Again just general recommendations. If you know what you are doing you can easily consume a higher fat steak, just have something like a sweet potato and some steamed veggies with it. With the lower fat options you just more flexibility to add other components and not be jacking up the calories crazy high. Choosing a higher fat cut of meat is not inherently bad, it just tends to limit your side options is all.
Your point at the end about the hormones and antibiotics is a valid question as well, and if you are choosing conventional meat it might be a wiser idea to go with a leaner option.
Make sense?
I would love to hear your thoughts and comments below.

Would you say the same thing for dairy in regards to hormones & antibiotics? i.e. full fat dairy if it comes from a high quality source (grass-fed, etc) is the way to go. BUT, if it comes from conventional dairy, go with lower/non fat options?
Brian St. Pierre Says:
January 10th, 2012 at 9:17 am
Not necessarily. The data supporting the potential health benefits from full-fat dairy includes all dairy, conventional or grass-fed. I think grass-fed is superior due to the fact that it will be higher in many of the beneficial nutrients and lower in hormones/antibiotics, but the data still seems to indicate full-fat is the way to go regardless.
Noel Piepgrass Says:

Awesome take Brian. That's why I generally teach the students I work with to consume fats moderately . . . all types, both saturated and unsaturated fats because they're both really high in calories. Although, some of my students who are really actively involved in high school sports really don't ever need to worry about caloric restriction. In fact, I'm constantly telling them to eat more!
