Lightened-Up Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe
We're serving a creamy comforting broccoli cheese soup that is easy on the waistline. Today's Lightened-Up Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe will make your mouth and your hips happy!
As a mom, sometimes I have to stick to my guns, and sometimes I have to know when to give a little. Lines are often fuzzy and it can be tricky to determine which way to lean in any given situation.
Parenting is not for the faint of heart.
For instance, it's important to stick to your guns when you discover one of your children is not wearing underwear to school. Or when brushing one's teeth is suddenly considered optional. Or when you find a stash of matches hiding under your child's bed. These examples may or may not have happened in our house at some point in time.
However, it's less important to be ridged about meal time. As long as I know my kids are getting the nutrition they need, we can let a few treats slide here and there.
Best of all, sometimes there is a happy medium that satisfies everyone in the family.
This creamy Lightened-Up Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe is a win-win for all of us.
It's rich and cheesy, just like my classic decadent broccoli cheddar soup recipe. However, I used low fat milk instead of cream, reduced the cheese a little, and upped the veggie intake.
Therefore my Lightened-Up Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe is slightly brothy, which I actually prefer, and is remorse free.
Loaded with flavor from the sharp cheddar cheese and lots of aromatic veggies, you won't even miss the excess fat and calories, in this revamped soup recipe. I promise.
I've learned giving a in little on the comfort foods my kids love, gives me an opportunity to lighten up some of our traditional family favorites!
I've also learned that squeezing important nutrients into recipes, makes my kids healthier and gives them the energy and focus they need throughout the day.
I always try to start them out in the morning with protein to keep them full throughout the morning. This can come from eggs, nuts, or even a cool frothy glass of milk.
We often forget all the benefits of a simple glass of milk, like 9 essential nutrients including high quality protein, calcium, vitamin D, and potassium.
Milk's ingredient list is short – simply milk and vitamins A and D, plus it is a farm-to-table food. No hormones, crazy chemicals, or preservatives added.
I was thrilled to find a way to incorporate low fat milk into today's Lightened-Up Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe. Not only does it reduce the calories while retaining a creamy consistency. It helps me meet the daily quota of important nutrients for my little guys!

text: 'London Dreams' on Independence Day December 30, 2008 Robert Mull Masala 0 Till some time back, most producers used to time their releases around the two major festivals — Diwali and Idd. Then Christmas and Valentine's Day celebrations were included. Later, Republic Day [26th January] and now Independence Day [15th August] holidays are also being eyed by producers and distributors. Last year, Vipul Shah released his ambitious venture SINGH IS KINNG on 8th August, a week before the Independence Day. This year, he is targeting the Independence Day weekend for his next mega venture LONDON DREAMS. The film is confirmed for 14th August release. While on Vipul Shah, a section of the media has reported that Ranbir Kapoor has refused to star in his next venture. "A section of the media loves to make stories and the worst part is, they don't even have the courtesy to clarify whether it's true or false. As for my next venture, it's with Akshay Kumar and not Ranbir Kapoor. I haven't approached Ranbir in the first place and I'm sure, even he wouldn't agree to star in a film that has Akshay enacting the main lead," Vipul states. Point noted!

Today it was announced that Sentai Filmworks has licensed reverse harem anime series "Diabolik Lovers" season two. The series, which is currently being streamed outside of Japan by Crunchyroll, premiered on Oct. 4. Because Sentai Filmworks released the first season with an English dub, the second season is likely to get the same treatement.
So far, fans in an ANN forum are expressing excitement for Sentai's licensing of "Diabolik Lovers" season two.
"This is definitely going on to my 'to buy' list. I already have the first season, signed by some of the voice actors, sitting on my shelves," said WashuTakahashi.
Anime News Network reports that the first season assistant director Risako Yoshida is replacing the previous director Shinobu Tagashira. ZEXCS will still handle the animation production, but the new script supervisor will be Hiroko Kanasugi. Yuuko Yahiro will return as the character designer.
ANN also reports the following main Japanese voice cast for "Diabolik Lovers" season two:
Daisuke Hirakawa as Raito Sakamaki
Hikaru Midorikawa as Ayato Sakamaki
Katsuyuki Konishi as Reiji Sakamaki
Kousuke Toriumi as Shū Sakamaki
Rie Suegara as Yui Komori
Takashi Kondo as Subaru Sakamaki
Yuuki Kaji as Kanato Sakamaki
Daisuke Kishio as Azusa Mukami
Ryohei Kimura as Kou Mukami
Takahiro Sakurai as Ruki Mukami
Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Yūma Mukami
My Anime List describes the series of "Diabolik Lovers" as follows:
"Yui Komori used to see dead people. But as troubling as past glimpses of spirits, poltergeists, and psychic phenomena may have been, they pale into insignificance compared to what she's about to discover once she's forced to transfer to a new school."
It goes on:
"Now she'll be sharing her living space with six very attractive young men, though not a single one is human. In moving from her father's church to becoming the object of six blood lusting young vampires' affections, Yui will undergo the most shocking, soul ripping and draining experience any teenage girl could imagine in her wildest fantasies... or most salacious nightmares."

Heavy rain greeted 18 anglers at Lakeview Fishery last Wednesday at the Middy Winter Xtreme series,
Andy Searle drew peg 21 on the lagoon pool which proved to be in form as he caught mainly F1s for a winning weight of 81lb 4oz on maggot and pellet.
Andy has already qualified for next March's final so runner-up Richard Kinnersley was the lucky angler to qualify by default after catching 69lb 4oz, off the serpent's peg 20.
The match proved very close with Sean Huggins just behind in third with 68lb 5oz, and newcomer Darren Wilson coming fourth with 67lb.
Top five: 1 Andy Searle (LV Select) 81lb 4oz (lagoon peg 21), 2 Richard Kinnersley (Coopers Tackle) 69lb 4oz (serpent 20), 3 Sean Huggins (Drennan/Dynamite) 68lb 5oz (serpent 17), 4 Darren Wilson (MW Floats) 67lb (serpent 10), 5 Rob Lee (LV Select) 60lb 1oz (lagoon 25).
* A very foggy start on Saturday saw only nine anglers turn out for the Middy series match.
But it was a close finish with Dave Harper the lucky one to qualify, catching 62lb 4oz off peg nine.
He caught mainly carp, F1s and skimmers on pellet and bread.
Top five: 1 Dave Harper (Plumtree Pig Roast Co) 62lb 4oz (peg 9), 2 Richard Kinnersley (Coopers Tackle) 61lb 2-oz (peg 7), 3 Rob Lee (LV Select) 37lb 8oz (peg 5), 4 Carl Moss (LV Select) 19lb 8oz (peg 25), 5 Gaz Moorley 19lb 5oz (peg 21).

Catching on bread and pellet all over, Andy netted himself carp to 4lb, F1s and a few barbel.
Martin Thackery drew the golden peg and came close, taking second position with 47lb 5oz.
Brothers Steve and Mick Beckhurst both picked up section money with Steve picking up the high section win by just 1lb 2oz.
Top five: 1 Andy Searle (LV Select) 71lb 13oz (peg 12), 2 Martin Thackery (WoodhouseAngCentre) 47lb 5oz (peg 17), 3 Steve Beckhurst (LV Select) 41lb 8oz (peg 14), 4 Mick Beckhurst (LV Select) 40lb 10oz (peg 19), 5 Steve Haywood (Middy) 31lb 12oz (peg 25).

One Week Ultimate Werewolf takes the gameplay of One Night Ultimate Werewolf and twists it up in a knot, with ever-increasing tension as you venture into the special rooms of Ludwig Castle. Each room provides a special power, and those powers are the key to figuring out the mystery of who among you is a werewolf. Roles can be viewed and switched several times before all is said and done, then the final vote takes place.
As in One Night Ultimate Werewolf, your goal is to figure out the secret roles of your opponents as well as your own role by the end of the game. Each day, you enter a different room with a unique ability, and each night you interact with the other players in that room. In addition to the 3-7 players, three staff members roam the castle, and each of them also has a secret role. After a week's investigation (which should take about 45 minutes), it all comes down to a vote. If you're a werewolf, you're trying to remain undiscovered. If you're a villager, you're trying to find those sneaky werewolves. And if you're a Tanner, well, you're trying to get caught!
One Week Ultimate Werewolf comes with more than a dozen unique rooms. You play with just a few each game, making each game different.

Silicon Valley Growth Syndicate (SVGS) Invests in 60th Tech Startup
Angel investing fund hits funding milestone with Anedot, notable investments include Product Hunt and Sprig
MENLO PARK, Calif. – Silicon Valley Growth Syndicate (SVGS), an angel investing fund, today announced it has made its 60th tech startup investment as it wraps up 2015. The fund has invested in several notable startups including Product Hunt, Cargo Chief, and Sprig.
The fund has worked hard to balance its portfolio between Silicon Valley and non-Silicon Valley enterprises. "Valuations got frothy in the Bay area," says L.W. McNutt, co-founder of SVGS. "We were already invested in some of the best pre-forming startups from Silicon Valley, and we started working hard on reasonably priced opportunities in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Louisiana, Tennessee and areas outside the United States over the last three years."
Founded in 2013 by Will Bunker, Russell Lewis, and L.W. McNutt, SVGS invests in early stage companies with revenue. It is comprised of a team of 44 investors and mentors that "Coach Up" startups to prepare for future growth and additional rounds of funding. SVGS has exceeded expectations with its portfolio breadth, increased the value of its portfolio companies, and achieved quarter-over-quarter sales gains.
Its 60th investment is Anedot, the easiest way to collect donations and payments for political campaigns, non-profits, churches, synagogues, causes and individuals in need. Based in Baton Rouge, La., Anedot's platform has been used by hundreds of campaigns ranging from Presidential Candidate Carly Fiorina to several Gubernatorial, U.S. Senate and statewide political races.
Anedot has become the most used platform by Republicans in the United States Congress and Senate. "We have every reason to believe this will continue not only in the political sector, but moving forward also in the religious and education sectors." Said L.W. McNutt.
"Louisiana is fertile ground for startups with top notch angel investing chapters in New Orleans and Shreveport, as well as the local area's innovative accelerator programs and national universities to help grow the startup community," said McNutt.
Portfolio Highlights
Silicon Valley is home to 37 of the 60 companies, with others coming from Nashville (1), Dallas (5), Little Rock (1), Louisiana (1) Brazil (1), Ireland (1), England (1), Cincinnati (1), New York City (2), Australia (2), San Diego / other Non-Silicon Valley cities in California (5), Denver (1) and Mississippi (1). The fund has found many advantages investing in cities such as Little Rock, Dallas and Nashville.
Highlights of the SVGS portfolio include:
- 61 percent business-to-consumer and 39 percent business-to-business companies.
- Product Hunt, a curation of the best new products, has seen hockey stick growth and increased its valuation six-fold since SVGS invested.
- Dallas-based investments include beGlammed, Robin Lawncare Technologies, Culture Map, Blownaway and Modern Message, all of which are having record years. Modern Message, creator of Community Rewards for apartment complexes, started 2015 doing loyalty programs for 350 apartment complexes and is now working with more than 1,000 apartment complexes.
- Sprig, a food delivery service that cooks and delivers healthy, inexpensive meals to your office or home, has seen its investment value soar from $8 million to $268 million. It also expanded to Chicago this year from San Francisco.
- 2RedBeans, the leading dating site for Chinese living in North America, raised money at a valuation of $16 million dollars. SVG aided their launch in the UK. Top line sales tripled from 2013 to 2014.
- Cargo Chief, using patent pending technology to connect truckers and shippers with their giant carrier network, achieved sales in excess of a million dollars in 2014. In 2015, sales averaged more than a million dollars monthly.
- BuildFire, the easiest App building and management system available, drives revenue consistently above $60,000 per month and has grown 3X since 2014.
- VSporto, personalized sports radio on a college by college basis, expanded this year to 21 universities, including LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, Wisconsin, University of California, Stanford, Notre Dame, Auburn, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Michigan and Penn State.
- A number of the companies like Hint Health are growing 100 percent per month.
"Lean In"Investment Strategy
SVGS practices a unique investing style in several respects. First, its lean in-style believes the best due diligence is accomplished from the inside out.
"We learn as much from an initial $25,000 to $50,000 investment as others learn from investing ten times as much," said Co-Founder Russell Lewis. "We like to have our initial capital used to see if a marketing program is currently in use and if it can scale. If it does, we stand ready to invest up to $250,000 in any one opportunity."
Second, SVGS only invests in companies with revenue. "The world is full of well meaning entrepreneurs who fail to launch," says McNutt. "Getting the right product market fit, and being the last money into an angel round have served us well as we built the portfolio from scratch."
Third, SVGS never loses sight of the aspirations of its investors. "We are forever conscious of the fact that our active investment partners are entrusting us with money and a dream. That dream is to participate in the early stages of great American companies, to grow with them and reap the ample rewards. These are the kinds of companies that, if successful, can assure success for another generation of a family," says Co-Founder Will Bunker.

Oxford could get a new train service to London, via Bicester, under a £200m plan drawn up by Chiltern Railways.
Chiltern's scheme, developing an idea it first suggested several years ago, would complement the East-West Rail Consortium's proposals to upgrade the Oxford-Bicester Town line and reopen the route from Bicester to Milton Keynes.
A new quarter-mile-long west to south connection would be built to link Bicester Town station with the Chiltern Line at a junction on the southern outskirts of the town, along with a new station alongside the Water Eaton park-and-ride site on the outskirts of Kidlington.
Chiltern Railways' chairman Adrian Shooter said that if the scheme was approved, it would make Bicester one of the best connected towns in the country, with four direct trains to London every hour - two from Bicester Town and two from Bicester North station, on the route to Banbury and Birmingham.
Two trains an hour would run between Oxford and London Marylebone, via an improved and expanded Bicester Town, in addition to the four trains an hour - two expresses and two stopping services - which First Great Western runs to London Paddington.
Chiltern says the journey to London would take about 65 minutes, compared with 55 minutes on FGW.
Double track and new signals between Oxford and Bicester would allow more than 30 trains a day to run each way, compared with seven at present, with journey times cut from 26 minutes to 14. Some trains would also serve Islip.
The new link would give Oxford direct services to Wembley Stadium station and reinstate a rail connection with High Wycombe for the first time since 1964.
The service could be running in time for the 2012 Olympics in London and would strengthen the case for the Oxford-Milton Keynes line.
Alison Mathias, of Oxford commuter group Ox Rail Action, said: "We're delighted. This would give us more choice and more service and put pressure on First Great Western to up their game. FGW have improved their service in recent weeks, but this would put pressure on them to do even better."
Bicester Chamber of Commerce chairman Ben Jackson said: "This would put us at the top of the pile in terms of connectivity."
Chiltern still needs to get Government approval but is confident work could start within two years, allowing it to meet the 2012 target.
Mr Shooter said: "We have done a lot of work to develop this plan. It will greatly improve connections between London, Oxford and Bicester."

Many called him the "Wild Man" of the rock group Lynyrd Skynyrd, but Artimus Pyle started out
more as a "Country Man." Thomas Delmar Pyle was born on July 15, 1948, in Louisville, KY. He
spent many of his childhood hours either on the back of a horse or behind the controls of a
When Pyle was nine years old, his mother bought his first musical instruments, some bongos.
Three years later his father got him a used set of drums. It wasn't long before young Pyle had
put together his first band, the Thom Thumbs.
In the late '60s, fresh out of high school, Pyle joined the Marine Corps. He was in training to
be sent overseas when the Vietnam War ended. As soon as his enlistment was up, Pyle returned his
attention to music and education, taking up the drums again and enrolling in the Tennessee
Technical College. This was the place where he went from being Thomas Pyle to Artimus Pyle,
teasingly giving the nickname after the virgin Artimus.
In the early '70s, Pyle landed gigs in bands like Charlie Daniels' and the Marshall Tucker Band.
With a little help from Daniels, Pyle got to show off his talents to Ronnie Van Zant, performing
with the Lynyrd Skynyrd band in Jacksonville at the Sergeant Pepper's Club. At the end of 1974,
when founding member Bob Burns parted from Skynyrd, it was Pyle who was called in to fill his
shoes. He toured with the band, recording a number of albums, up till 1977, when a plane crash
instantly snuffed out the lives of three members, Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and his sister
Cassie. Road manager Dean Kilpatrick was also killed.
Pyle and other members survived the terrible crash, but the band didn't. Pyle, never one to call
it quits, went on with his music the best he could. In 1981 he put together the A.P.B. with
members like Darryl Otis Smith, John Boerstler, and Steve Lockhart. The A.P.B. is sometimes
called the Artimus Pyle Band, sometimes All Points Bulletin. A year later, the group released a
debut album, A.P.B., under the MCA Records label. Some of the tracks fans will find on this
offering are "It Ain't the Whiskey," "Rock and Roll Each Other," and "She's My Baby." In 1983,
the band released a second album, Nightcaller.
Four years later, Pyle joined the Skynyrd Tribute Tour, and even recorded another Skynyrd album
in 1991 before leaving the group. A concert set, Live from Planet Earth, by the Artimus Pyle
Band was issued in 2000, and after a 24-year hiatus, a new studio album, Artimus Venomus,
appeared in 2007 on Cleopatra Records.
There is a second generation of Pyles making progress in the world of music. Artimus Pyle's two
oldest sons: drummer, singer, guitarist, and songwriter Marshall Daniel Pyle and older brother
Christopher Chapel Pyle, who can play the trumpet, flute, guitar, and of course the

Hot is the catalogue published in conjunction with Capping, the installation presented by Helena Hladilová as the result of her period of residence within the programme 6ARTISTA.
The book accompanies the installation, which consisted of 13 wooden panels covered with white plasticine that the public could freely model. The artwork is thus transformed into a seismograph that is capable of recording the effects on the visitors, who became an active part of the work.
Through a collection of essays by different authors, the book tries to reflect on Helena Hladilová's artistic practice, characterized by an ongoing dialectical investigation into object production and performativity, trying to define an egalitarian relationship between artist/performer and spectator/participant.
Each copy of the book has been modified by the artist's intervention and is numbered and signed by the artist.

I made a lovely chainmaille choker, but the jump rings -- some I made, some I purchased -- have burrs at the cuts. What medium should I use to get rid of them? Stainless shot does not seem to be doing the trick. Or maybe tumbling overnight isn't long enough? HELP!
Stacy's Answer:
Hi Megan!
I prefer to tumble jumprings before I using them. I use a de-burring solution in a rotary tumbler with stainless steel shot and tumble them overnight. The rings come out with a bright metal finish, slightly work-hardened and burr-free. In a finished chainmaille piece, the links can be tightly spaced and woven together making it difficult for the shot to reach into all the nooks and crannies.
If the burrs are really pronounced on the jumprings you're making yourself, it may be time for a new saw-blade or cutting wheel, especially if you're using a high-speed jumpring cutting system. For tumbling, there are different grits of ceramic tumbling media that work well for removing burrs from metals. Rio Grande carries them. Just read the item descriptions to determine which is best for you and follow the manufacturer's directions for best results.
I can't say if more time in the tumbler will remove all the burrs in your necklace. Probably not. Rings rotate, so the rough edges may not be accessible to the tumbling media. You may have to bite the bullet and use a fine file or sandpaper to gently remove the burrs by hand, then tumble for a quick polish-up. A tedious labor of love to be sure. But chalk it up to one of those learning experiences (sigh) and try to begin your chainmaille projects with smooth jumprings to help avoid such problems in the future.

For companies that set up research or lab based facilities, there are certain unique requirements that set them apart from other standard commercial or industrial facilities. For instance, any standard office setup would not meet the standard requirements for a lab setup.
Standard requirements of laboratory infrastructure in Thailand
When it comes to setting up a lab facility there are certain stringent requirements in following categories:
- Hygiene and sterility factors are given priority to research lab interiors.
- Safety of equipment and research data, programs and computer setup is also a high priority in such places.
- Security setup is paramount in such facilities.
- Specialized research equipment and lab setup require certain furniture and workstation designs.
For the above parameters, any lab setup usually has a standardized layout design that allows for specialized research or lab equipment set up and computer based workstations to be made functional in a secure and sterile environment. Most research facilities deal with delicate or sensitive specimens and equipment. Parameters like environmental conditions need to be controlled in such spaces that can interfere with several lab workings and results.
Innovative and unique themes
Nowadays many modern lab décor specialists are veering from the standard industrial layouts and designs for client lab facilities. Many décor services for lab setup are experimenting with diverse designs of laboratory furniture Thailand that are functional and have neo urban and modernistic appeal at the same time. Keeping a clean and sterile ambience in mind, many décor specialists blend in colors and unique décor themes that help create interesting and stimulating environment that imbibe creativity and life in such workplaces.
To find experienced lab specialists in Thailand you can refer to biotech company directory listings in BiotechThailand. Here you will find related firms and suppliers for companies in the biotech segment.

Bringing home the prize
In 2010, Kevin Monahan of Waverly, Va., had his worst year ever growing peanuts. In 2011 he had his best peanut-growing year ever. In fact, judging from the state peanut yield contest, Kevin had the best peanut yield in the state in 2011.
Kevin, president of the Virginia Peanut Growers Association, averaged 5,610 pounds of goobers per acre on 124.6 acres in 2011. Not bad.
Compare that to the 1,600 pounds per acre he produced in 2010. He points out he had peanuts in some fields in 2010 that yielded as low as 423 pounds to the acre.
"Our peanuts this year were over 10 times that good," he says, with a bit of an incredulous chuckle. "The funny thing is, we really didn't do anything all that differently."
Of course, when you get down to the details, there were some differences. But the bigger picture points out just how complicated farming can be. Obviously, Kevin Monahan is a great farmer. You have to be a great farmer to put yourself in the position of winning the yield contest when conditions are right for it. On the other hand, as all farmers well know, a producer can do everything right and things can still go wrong.
Key Points
• The top peanut producer in Virginia in 2011 says timing is a production key.
• On the Monahans' family farm, members depend on each other to get tasks done.
• Two new varieties played a critical role in upping production in 2011.
One of the keys to producing a top yield, Kevin says, is timeliness. But while a grower's timeliness can help, the reality is that a farmer can be just as timely as possible and it might not ensure that he will make a good yield. Mother Nature has to be timely, too, responding with good temperatures and rains, just when they are needed.
In 2010, Virginia peanut country had a terrible drought. Nothing a farmer could do about that. But this year, growers had plenty of moisture at the critical junctures. And while Hurricane Irene and weeks of overcast weather in her wake hurt some growers of other crops, peanuts, growing cozily under the ground, were safe.
Kevin gives credit where credit is due. "The good Lord looked out for us this year," he notes.
Counting the differences
Of course, there were some other big differences between 2010 and 2011. Kevin had some great new peanut varieties in his field in 2012, particularly Bailey and Sugg.
"The Bailey was the best-yielding peanut we had," he notes, "and the Sugg wasn't very far behind. Bailey was definitely more disease-resistant, even than the Sugg — and both of them were excellent." Kevin is enthusiastic about the new varieties, recommending both.
"I had some fields of Bailey near a road," Kevin says. "People would drive down the road, looking at the fields and talking about them. People just talked all year about how pretty those peanuts were. Those Baileys looked almost like artificial plants, they were so healthy."
A family operation
Kevin farms with the help of his two sons, Drew, a recent Virginia Tech graduate, and Brad, who will soon graduate VT. Kevin's older brother, Tim, also helps him.
"He's good to have here with me on the farm," Kevin says about his brother. "We actually started the farming business together in 1983. "Eventually, Tim decided he didn't like dealing with all the risks that farmers have to contend with, and opted out of the business side of farming."
The Monahans farm 1,850 acres of farmland, typically including about 340 acres of cotton, 550 acres of corn, 300 acres of wheat and 150 acres of barley, as well as 125 to 150 acres of peanuts.
At one time they farmed about 250 to 300 acres of peanuts, but they cut back beginning with the year the federal quota program went out.
"We never quit raising peanuts per se, as a lot of people did when the quota ended and the industry went to a supply-and-demand situation," Kevin says. "That first year we went down to about 100 acres. In the past three or four years, we've stayed in the range of 125 to 150 acres. This year we will raise close to 165 acres of peanuts."
Kevin considers diseases to be the biggest challenge peanut growers face in terms of production, particularly sclerotinia blight and CBR, or cylindrocladium black rot. Bailey and Sugg offer good resistance packages. He also uses Vapam fumigant to help control CBR. He follows the leaf-spot advisory put out by Virginia Cooperative Extension, and is timely in applications.
"The other thing we do is we try to keep the peanuts in a rotation for a minimum of four years," he says. "The longer we can stretch that rotation out, the more it helps with plant disease."
Decision-making 101
If you're a farmer, decisions will sometimes be technology-based; other times they will be "seat of the pants," as the saying goes. For example, in the spring Kevin has to make the call on the exact time to plant.
"We go by the calendar somewhat, but a lot of it depends on other factors," Kevin says. "We normally plant during the first few days of May, but if it is the last few days of April and the ground is warm and in good shape, then I don't have any problem planting a week or so earlier. Or, if we are thinking about planting one week, but the weather people are forecasting a long, cool wet spell for the next week, I may decide to wait and get through that cold, wet spell."
He soil-samples to determine fertilization, but doesn't use any GPS to do so. He generally adds some potash, but with a good rotation peanuts seldom need nitrogen or other basic fertilizer, he says. He does apply micronutrients, such as manganese and boron.
As mentioned, the Monahans strive to be on time with chemical applications. And Kevin pays particular attention to maturity as harvesttime approaches. Harvest is critical. After all, it doesn't pay to have a tremendous yield under the ground but then not be able to get it out.
At digging time he pays close attention to the weather, not wanting to turn peanuts up on the ground to be exposed to bad weather. He calibrates his digger to make sure his running speed and PTO speed are synchronized. He makes sure he has good sharp points on his digger. "You want to cut the taproot and invert them instead of dragging the peanuts," Kevin says.
"If you are running your PTO speed too fast for your ground speed, you will strip pods off the vines. Then again, if you are running your PTO speed too slow you'll almost push the peanuts. You have to get everything working together at a good pace."
"We like to field-dry the pods as much as possible, in the range of four to five days," he adds.
"There again, it goes back to the weather factor. If the peanuts are getting close to dry where we feel like we can harvest them, and the weathermen are calling for some rain or some frost, we may go ahead and pick them a day or two sooner. After all, the longer they lay on the ground with Mother Nature drying them, the less propane we have to burn."
One of the great things about 2011 is that precisely at a time when Kevin had a great yield, the prices went up. The timing was wrong for many growers, but the Monahans had additional pounds to sell just as the prices topped.
"It couldn't have been any better year than to have a good crop and to have the good prices, too," Kevin says. "It worked out well."

Case Name: Eli Lilly & Co. v. Teva Parenteral Meds. Inc., Case No. 2011-1561, 689 F3d 1368 (Fed. Cir. August 24, 2012) (Circuit Judges Lourie, Dyk and Wallach presiding; Opinion by Lourie.) (Appeal from D. Del., Sleet, C.J.)
Drug Product and Patent(s)-in-Suit: Alimta® (pemetrexed); U.S. Pat. No. 5,344,932 ("the '932 patent")
Nature of the Case and Issue(s) Presented: The issue here concerns whether the asserted claims of the '932 patent were invalid for obviousness-type double patenting. Appellee Eli Lilly & Co. ("Lilly") manufactures an antifolate chemotherapy drug commercially sold as Alimta. The drug is used primarily to combat mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer. The '932 patent was assigned to the Trustees of Princeton University, and exclusively licensed to Lilly.
Teva Parenteral Medicines, Inc., Barr Laboratories, Inc., and APP Pharmaceuticals, LLC (collectively, "Teva") filed an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell generic Alimta prior to the expiration of the '932 patent on July 24, 2016. The ANDAs each included a Paragraph IV certification resulting in Lilly's suit against Teva asserting claims 1, 2, 3, and 7 of the '932 patent. At trial, Teva conceded infringement, but argued that the claims were invalid for obviousness-type double patenting over two claims in earlier issued patents that had expired. The court found Teva's obviousness-type double patenting argument lacked support, and enjoined approval of Teva's ANDA until after the expiration of Lilly's exclusive patent rights on the drug. Teva filed a timely appeal; the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's decision.
Why Lilly Prevailed: The sole issue on appeal was whether the asserted claims of the '923 patent were invalid for obviousness-type double patenting. Teva's argument was based entirely on two patents in the same family as the '923 patent. Both patents had expired before Lilly had filed suit. U.S. Patent No. 5,028,608 ("the '608 patent") claimed an antifolate that differed from the chemical structure of pemetrexed only in its aryl region. The compound claimed in the '608 patent contained a five-member thiophene ring in place of the six member benzene ring found in pemetrexed. U.S. Patent No. 5,248,775 ("the '775 patent") disclosed a family of chemical intermediates that could be used to make a variety of antifolates, including pemetrexed, that contained a pyrrole[2,3-d]pyrimidine bicyclic core. Among other compounds, the '775 patent claimed a compound that is used as an intermediate in one method of synthesizing pemetrexed.
First, Teva argued that pemetrexed is not patentably distinct from the compound claimed in the '608 patent. The Federal Circuit took issue with Teva's argument that a proper obviousness-type double patenting analysis involved analyzing only the differences between the claims at issue, so that any features held in common between the claims would be excluded from consideration. The court noted that this was an overly myopic view of the analysis, and stated that rather than considering the differences in isolation, the claims had to be considered as a whole. The court also found that Teva failed at trial to provide evidence of the existence of a reason that would have led a chemist to modify the compound claimed in the '608 patent to make pemetrexed with a reasonable expectation of success. Instead, the Federal Circuit found that Lilly had provided convincing evidence that the ways in which a person of ordinary skill in the art would modify the '608 compound would not have resulted in pemetrexed. The court noted that such findings of fact were entitled to considerable deference on appeal, and could not find any clear error with respect to the record.
Teva's second argument was that pemetrexed was not patentably distinct from a compound claimed in the '775 patent. Rather than relying on structural similarities between the '775 compound and pemetrexed, Teva argued that the specification of the '775 patent disclosed the potential of synthesizing pemetrexed using the '775 compound. The Federal Circuit held that Teva had improperly applied the obviousness-type double patenting analysis, because such an analysis should be based on a comparison between a patentee's earlier and later claims, with the earlier patent's written description considered only to the extent necessary to construe its claims. Though Teva cited to two cases that appeared to be an exception to this general rule, the court said those cases were distinguishable. In both of the cases that Teva cited, the court addressed situations where an earlier patent claimed a compound, disclosed the utility of that compound in the specification, and a later patent claimed a method of using that compound for a particular use described in the specification of the earlier patent. In each of those cases, the claims held to be patentably indistinct had in common the same compound or composition.
Finally, the court addressed the district court's failure to consider objective indicia of nonobviousness. At trial, Lilly provided evidence that pemetrexed exhibited unexpected clinical properties and achieved considerable commercial success. But the district court disregarded that evidence on the basis that secondary considerations were not relevant to the analysis of invalidity for obviousness-type double patenting. The Federal Circuit noted that such a blanket statement was not accurate, and was the result of a misinterpretation of a footnote in the Geneva case. Instead, the Federal Circuit held, when offered, such evidence should be considered. The Federal Circuit, however, noted that the error was harmless, due to the fact that the court had properly rejected Teva's obviousness-type double patenting argument on other grounds.

text: Baptism TermsBaptism In the West, in Christianity, Baptism is one of the sacraments. It is said to have been introduced from the East by a certain Buddhasp. In Catholicism the emphasis is often on Baptism of/by Water. This is linked with a tradition of Living Water (cf. Aqua viva) and Spirit of Water. St. Alphonsus reminds us that there are three baptisms: by water, by fire by blood baptismus fluminis baptismus flaminiis baptismus sanguinis. These can be linked with 3 feasts: Epiphany Pentecost Celebration of Sobor January 6 50 days after Easter 8 November So the quest for Living Water is linked with a larger quest for Living Elements (ether, zephyr or wind, air, fire, water and even earth) and with Living Spirit or Breath of Life which became known in the West as the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. The Christians are not alone. Etruscans had Baptism of air, fire and water. Followers of Mithra had Baptism of Air, Fire, Water, Blood. The Chinese had a quest for Qi or Chi. Druid Magic entailed the Spirit of Spirit, of Fire, Air, Water and Earth and was linked directly with their alphabet. So the quest for baptism is much more than a sacrament. It is linked with a fundmental human quest to go beyond the limitations of a physical body and to understand life of the spirit. Compare the following quote: This new life of the spirit begins from the day of initiation into the mysteries of the spirit, call it what you like: "Deeksha" as the Hindus do, "Baet" as the Muslims say, "Baptism" as it is known among the Christians, or "Pahul" as among the Sikhs. The Vedic seers gave it the name of "Duey Janama" which literally means second birth. The life of the spirit begins not with the theoretical exposition of the spiritual science but by a practical demonstration on the spiritual plane of the spirit-current made manifest. Here the invisible and inaudible life-stream is made both visible and audible to the spirit within, converting the atheist into a theist in the true sense of the term. It is imparting the life-impulse and making It throb in every pore of the body. This coming back of the soul to the realization of her true nature and rising into Universal or Cosmic awareness beyond the walls of finitude is true resurrection or coming to a new birth and a new life. www.ruhanisatsangusa.org/naam/naam_shabd3.htm The Sanskrit words relating to baptism: jnAnasnAnakullA jnAnasnAnam jnAnatITcai are etymologically linked JnAnam and Jnana: spiritual wisdom cf. Janna, Jani, Gianni, John as in John the Baptist

The big, potentially positive story in Louisiana environmental circles has been the push to restore the state's depleted wetlands. It had become increasingly clear that something had gone terribly wrong in the Bayou State, where the swamps define a way of life — and also perform a very important role. These reedy marshes — as regular readers know well by now — are Louisiana's natural defense barrier. But they've been [...]Read More »
Restoring wetlands is certainly an expensive proposition. Even with monies available from sources such as the massive settlement that BP reached with Louisiana, the federal government and other Gulf states over the Deepwater Horizon spill, officials struggle to come up with all the funds needed to replenish coastline and bring back to life marshes and bayous that have been destroyed by energy exploration or damaged by pollution or other activities. [...]Read More »
One of the first stories that I've covered since the very beginning of this blog is the threat to Louisiana seafood. It's certainly an issue that I can relate to, as a New Orleans native who grew up eating the rich harvest from the nearby Gulf of Mexico. And needless to say, it was particularly heartbreaking in the early days to have to report in the early days of the [...]Read More »
If you live near the Atlantic Ocean — and millions of Americans do, along the most densely populated stretch of the nation — then you know the coastal flooding is always in the background. When a big storm like a Nor'easter barrels its way up the Eastern Seaboard, cities from Miami Beach all the way up to Maine can expect some beach erosion and possibly a couple feet of water [...]Read More »
There's good news and bad news when it comes to the effort to restore the massive amount of coastal wetlands — some 1,800 square miles, or one-and-a-half times the size of Rhode Island — that Louisiana has lost over the last 85 years, roughly around the same time period that Big Oil has been doing its business in the state. Aside from the loss of so much biodiversity in a [...]Read More »
The news broke in the middle of the night: Another major fire at an offshore drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Louisiana. Each time this happens, the news brings back painful memories of April 20, 2010, and the shocking explosion at BP's Deepwater Horizon rig. The catastrophic effect of that tragic explosion and fire has been well documented (including a recent Hollywood movie) — 11 [...]Read More »
One of the more fantastic experiences that I've enjoyed in my lifetime was an opportunity, several years ago, to scuba dive along Australia's Great Barrier Reef. This is truly one of the world's great natural splendors; it is the largest living thing on Planet Earth, stretching some 900 miles, and it is also much larger than anything that humans have ever constructed. Chock full of colorful marine life, surrounded by [...]Read More »
More than six years ago, this blog was created largely in response to one gigantic and catastrophic event: The massive BP oil spill in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon explosion. That tragedy has had dozens of story lines — from the toxic dispersant that made so many clean-up workers ill, to the deaths of sea creatures from dolphins to endangered turtles, to the destruction of Louisiana's precious wetlands. Since [...]Read More »
As I write this, Hurricane Matthew — a monster Category 4 storm — is just hours away from striking the central Florida coast. Millions of people have evacuated over the last day or so, and those who've stayed behind face an enormous risk from winds as high as 140 mph, from storm surges as great as nine feet or more, and other hazards such as falling trees. The entire nation, [...]Read More »
The push is on to hold the world's largest energy company accountable for decades of unchecked pollution and for its lies about greenhouse-gas pollution that have served as its unsteady foundation. The company in question is ExxonMobil, the fossil-fuel conglomerate known for setting world records for quarterly profits, raking in billions of dollars every month. With its secretive ways — including its isolated Texas headquarters that some call "the Death [...]Read More »

Inmarsat's Global Xpress network delivers seamless, high-speed broadband around the world, connecting everyone, everything, everywhere.
As well as the bandwidth required for today's data-hungry digital society, GX offers a whole new world of innovative, content-rich applications.
Global Xpress (GX) has been delivering seamless, high-speed broadband connectivity all around the world since December 2015.
The GX constellation is now made up of four Ka-band, high-speed mobile broadband communications satellites, following the launch of Inmarsat-5 F4. Each I-5 satellite is expected to have a commercial life of 15 years.
The first three I-5 satellites were launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and together they provide the coverage required to deliver global GX services:
As part of Inmarsat's US$1.6 billion programme commitment, the fourth Global Xpress satellite (I-5 F4) was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida, USA on 15 May 2017 to provide additional capacity.
A fifth Global Xpress satellite constructed by Thales Alenia Space will boost GX capacity even further across the Middle East, Europe and the Indian subcontinent and is targeted for launch in 2019.
The I-5 satellites operate with a combination of fixed narrow spot beams that enable Inmarsat to deliver higher speeds through more compact terminals, plus steerable beams so additional capacity can be directed in real-time to where it's needed.
Operating in the resilient Ka-band, while integrating seamlessly with our proven L-band network, GX allows customers across aviation, maritime, enterprise and government sectors to have reliable and assured access to high-throughput communications.
With Cisco, we have also developed the Inmarsat Gateway to deliver a whole new world of innovative, content-rich applications – developed by our Certified Application Partners – tailored to meet GX users' needs.
Global Xpress represents an important step in Inmarsat's transformation from a satellite operator to a digital services enabler. Ever innovative, we are going beyond connectivity to power the emerging global digital society. From smart shipping and smart cities to connected aircraft and connected cars, we will provide the best networks and the best solutions to shape the new digital world.

Laminating the front surfaces of your teeth with porcelain can give your smile a whole new look. When you add Dr. Logan's ability to control the width, length, shape, and color of each tooth, the possibilities are virtually limitless! Porcelain veneers are the perfect way to treat yourself to a "smile lift".
As an alternative to full coverage crowns, porcelain veneers offer a cosmetic approach that is more conservative and just as beautiful. It's like having an ultra-thin mask that can hide the damage and defects that would otherwise diminish the brilliance of your smile. Tetracycline stains, injuries, root canal discoloration, and old fillings can be made to disappear beneath a sliver of porcelain that looks exactly like real enamel. Even gaps, crowding, and chipped teeth can be corrected to produce a smile that is more aesthetically pleasing.
Veneers that are well-made and properly cared for can last for many years. Although they are remarkably strong, porcelain restorations still deserve the same care that you would provide for your natural teeth, such as avoiding ice-chewing or using your teeth to open bottles or packages.
The color of a veneer cannot be altered after it has been placed, a detail that should be kept in mind if you are interested in bleaching your teeth. Whitening should be performed before the placement of the veneers in order to ensure a perfect shade match.
Take a look at all that can be accomplished with veneers:

Racists have targeted a family in another hate crime attack in the Greater Belfast area as violence and intimidation continues against immigrants across Northern Ireland.
A black woman and her three children escaped injury on Thursday night when attackers smashed the front window of their house on the loyalist Rathcoole housing estate in Newtownabbey with a brick.
It is the second time in less than a year that Kerry Ann Brown's home has been targeted. She said racist graffiti had been daubed on her house in the previous incident.
Brown, who lives in the house with her three sons aged 10, seven and two, said she thought the attackers were trying to break in to the property.
She said she didn't know how to explain to her sons what was happening.
"I don't even know myself why it has happened. The only conclusion I can come to is that I am black, I'm an ethnic minority. There are so many other houses in the street and mine is the only one that has been attacked."
She stressed that her neighbours were lovely people and she had no problem with them.
There have now been at least six race hate attacks in Belfast over the last few weeks, all of them taking place in loyalist working class districts.
Billy Webb, a councillor for the cross-community Alliance party, appealed for locals to give any information they had to help the police catch those responsible.
"We must take action to combat the recent spate of racist attacks. I am pleased that the police have organised an operation as a result of these hate crimes, but is important that it is successful in preventing future attacks.
"People who have moved to Northern Ireland are here to contribute to our economy and society. We must be open and welcoming to all," he said.
In response to the recent upsurge in racist violence, the police service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has launched Operation Reiner, which has already resulted in the arrest of three people in East Belfast following attacks there.
The victims include Africans and Polish immigrants who have settled to work in Northern Ireland. The small Roma community has also been targeted, including a young man who was showered with a bag of excrement while riding a bike down the loyalist Newtonards Road earlier this month.

A Day at the ParkSaturday, March 14th, 2009
We spent this afternoon at a park with my family celebrating Hope's Grandpa's birthday! She really seemed to enjoy being outdoors for the afternoon.
It was a nice day, just warm enough to be pleasant without being hot, though I found the breeze to be just a bit chilly myself. Hope is becoming more and more alert and responsive all the time. She is a happy baby, always ready to laugh and just full of smiles for everyone!
Her top teeth are coming in now, the middle two are just through, and the next two on the top look like they are going to be coming in right behind them. I think now that her teeth are coming in, she is developing quite an interest in trying them out – she likes to chew on any objects, clothes, and fingers she can find available. : )

Because gamers have such notoriously fickle hearts, dynasties in the gaming world have been kept alive by sequels. The iconic Mario, for example, has been in more than seventy titles since his inception in 1981. Starcraft sits aloft as one of the most bizarre phenomena in gaming's short history, having been popular for such a long time as a stand-alone game. I would submit that it was the unique feel of three playable races and continuous balancing for competitive play that pushed this game into its double platinum status. The superior voice acting and detailed back story couldn't have hurt either.
Blizzard, flush with cash from their success with World of Warcraft and merger with software megalith Activision, is now poised to launch a sequel to its flagship title. Starcraft II is on its way and I find myself wondering if it will have what it takes to outshine its lofty predecessor. If it does, I wonder what that will mean for the medium. Further, I wonder what that will mean for history.
Let's take a little step back and talk about a fellow from ancient Greece called Hercules. The original superman, Hercules was the central figure in many a folktale, religious group, play, and scroll found in the fantasy section of Barnex and Nobelponte. People liked Hercules so much he appeared on all sorts of B.C. merch like pillars, vases, and coins. I don't need to tell you his stories, I'm sure you've heard a few already. That's how popular this guy was, thousands of years later people are still talking about him. The best part about him is that he never really existed. He is a myth, a fiction, a loose collaboration of tales cobbled together over the centuries and passed on to each new generation.
This is what I am getting at: our stories outlast us. In two thousand years no one will be talking about Barack Obama's election or Angelina Jolie's latest adoption, but maybe, just maybe, something of this generation will continue on. All we have to pin our hopes on is stories and it is the stories that touch more of us that have the best chances of lasting the longest. Starcraft has been translated into dozens of languages and spawned multiple novels based on the game's back story. It has the potential to go down as one of the most popular video games in history. I truly believe that video games are going to be the defining artistic medium of this generation; even still, it's going to take a true aberration to stand the test of time. Will Starcraft II have what it takes? No pressure, Blizzard.

We all know the firsts of freshman year too well and most of us just look back and cringe. But hey, what's life if you can't laugh at yourself? Well, this video of an ant trying vodka for the first time pretty much describes freshman year weekends… and let's just admit it now, our Tuesday and Thursday nights too.
Staking out the place, looking for the dranks.
Oh, the bar is this way.
The first sip, which is always a shock to your tastebuds.
Round 2, cause it's not thaaat bad and you're feelin' good.
Oof. Okay, time for a break.
The bass is booming and you think you look hot breaking it down on the dance floor.
And then you have to break the seal. The struggle is real and you're trying to make it to the bathroom.
2 am, the time you realize how tired you really are and that you just want to go home.
Those deep breaths cause whatever you do, you don't wanna throw up.
But somehow you always end up making it back to your room and you wake up the next morning just a little groggy.
Watch this guy's full vodka experience right here.

Love the snowflake, it is so pretty and delicate.ReplyDelete
Marianne x
I love your pretty snowfake, I have made two so far and the idea of using beads is lovely, it most certainly adds a little sparkle, just what we need at Christmas. I have seen old crochet hooks before, but don't own one and to be honest I am not sure I really want to use one either. I am really interested to see what you are going to do with this drop spindle, very new to me, it sure looks like you might be having fun figuring it all out. Good luck! Enjoy your weekend and staying in with hubby on these colder nights. xoxoReplyDelete
A perfect snowflake. I have never used antique hooks but now I really, really want one! jo xReplyDelete
I love the snowflake so pretty, snowflakes are lovely as long as they are not the real ones, brrrrrrr! I love the heat!ReplyDelete
I love the shawls. Your friends are very lucky. ....and your snowflake is so well made. I keep promising myself I will make one.ReplyDelete
love your crocheted snowflake, it's just beautiful! Good luck with the spindle xReplyDelete
How lovely that you have those old crochet hooks which belonged to your grandma. I like the snowflake, it's very pretty and your roving is a gorgeous colour. We have extremely cold weather here in Essex and it's said to be getting colder too. Brrrrr xReplyDelete

Love the snowflake its pretty and dainty xxReplyDelete
I made some of these last year and they do look lovely on the tree, I also made a few to give to friends for gifts. I wouldn't have a clue on how to use the spindle but would be really interested to learn how so I hope you show us once you have it figured. I really love the colours, my favourites too. thank you for showing us the hooks how very interesting. :)ReplyDelete
Wow! Those old hooks are amazing! I've never seen anything like them. And definitely know I would not be able to crochet comfortably with them. Your snowflake is lovely. Good luck with spinning the yarn. :) TammyReplyDelete
I love your pretty little snowflake Elisabeth and am very interested in knowing more about 'spindling and roving' as this is a new thing for me; I adore the colour of your 'roving' and will be watching out for your next instalment on the subject! How wonderful that your Mum has her Grandma's old hooks - they are quite different to the modern versions aren't they but beautiful in their own way.ReplyDelete
Wishing you lots of cosy nights at home with hubby - hugs, Joy x
Oh I love the snowflake too, reminds me of winters in the UK when I was little. Shame we dont have any snow here! thanks for showing your heirloom hooks too! the modern day ones are so plain arent they?ReplyDelete
OH I love the snowflakes and the antique hooks.ReplyDelete
Your snowflake is so pretty! I love the vintage/inherited crochet hooks that you have, so special for you to be able to work with them. xxReplyDelete
Love your pretty snowflake Elisabeth and the vintage crochet hooks are sooo cool!ReplyDelete
I have a drop spindle - and have had a few tries at making yarn - the first few came out very chunky! I watched loads of videos and read a lot of articles - and eventually got a sort of rhythm - just like crochet everyone seems to have their own style!
Your pinky roving is beautiful. You could experiment with some less precious or natural coloured fibre first - then move onto your fave colour! Also make sure you start by sitting down and have a soft landing for the spindle! There's a button on my blog that links to Sara's Texture crafts - she spins and sells fibre - but you may have somewhere more local to you, or maybe the maker or seller of the spindle might give you some tips.
Its often exciting to go to a class too - meet like minded spinners and get some handy tips direct from an expert!
For me its a case of just having a go, making all those initial mistakes, and then something clicks - I still make mistakes but when you see some spun yarn its such a reward!
I hope to get my spindle back out after the Christmas rush.
Look forward to seeing your very own wool! All the best and Have fun!
Ali x
I don't know, Elisabeth - those old hooks ROCK, but look like they probably weren't the most comfortable to use, at the same time. I love them...and your snowflake - the tiny beads at the points are perfect! XOXOXOReplyDelete
Ciao, ottimo lavoro... se passi da me c'è una sorpresa per te...ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for taking time to leave a comment! I love reading every single one - they really make my day :) I try to answer each and every comment by email or on your blog.

Bookish Talk: Reading Slump (+how to get through it!)9:30 AM
Have you ever feel like you want to read a book but nothing feels right? Or you're in the middle of reading something very interesting but suddenly lose interest in them? Or maybe you don't feel like reading anything at all? You can't even get through the first few pages of a book, and reading isn't fun at that moment.
Well, reading slump can hit anyone, even the best readers. It hits me at least once every month. For me, the reasons can be different. Maybe school has taken too much of my time. Or I read such horrible book that it makes me don't want to read for a while. Or I've been reading too many books at once and it makes me "sick" of reading.
Whatever it is, reading slump doesn't mean you have to stop reading. Yes, sometimes when I don't feel like reading, I won't force myself to read. Because when I force myself, it will be unfair for the book because I will end up dislike it. Reading should be fun, you should enjoy it, so if you don't like it, just leave it and move on. Don't ever force yourself to finish a book you didn't enjoyed reading. If you really want to know what happens next, just skim the pages or google the plot.
If you want to read, try to rereading your old favorites or maybe some short stories. Try to go on Wattpad, fanfiction.net or archiveofourown. Reading graphic novels also really helpful. The colors and the pictures will help you feel more interested in the story. You can also try to watch some tv shows/movie.
Or maybe, just go on the internet and browse some books. Don't read it, just browse through Goodreads/book blogs. The book's summary and blog reviews should piqued your interest in one/two books, and makes you want to read. You can also read a book blog. Seeing other people raving about a book always makes me want to read.
Book slump is the worst. But it come and go, it happens to everyone, even the most hardcore reader. So don't worry, you'll be just fine. Just enjoy your time off reading, and you'll bounce back soon enough! :)

By Nefertiti Bruce Poyner, DCRC Lead Trainer
I usually contribute to the Adult Wellness section of our newsletter. Each time I sit down to write, I ask myself, "What do you want others to know?" In light of the recent tragedies taking place in our country, there were so many different topics I thought about writing. I sat quietly with my thoughts and decided I wanted to encourage each of us to live today well.
I deliver a keynote message which carries the same title. During my keynote address, I try to use humor and practical experiences to help the audience understand the importance of doing what you can with the time you have. Life is ever changing and sometimes things seem grim. I encourage you to control what you can. You may wish to start by taking a few of the following suggestions to live today well…
Live today well by practicing gratitude. Gratitude begins when you simply take a few moments to reflect on the things you are grateful for. Researchers cite a number of physical and emotional benefits of practicing gratitude. Start by keeping a notebook by your bed. When you start your day, reflect on the things you are grateful for. When you end your day, record a few things you are grateful for. Invite family and friend to join you in this effort.
Live today well by making sure humor and fun are an everyday part of your life. There are so many things each day that do not give us reason to smile or laugh. I encourage you to live today well by seeking laughter and creating moments of fun in your life. Make time to watch your favorite sitcom, or read a humorous story. Play a dinner time game to see who can make the funniest faces. It has been said that, "laughter is an instant vacation." Are you ready for a vacation? Then get to smiling and laughing!
Live today well by nurturing your connections with others. I often think that we have our priorities all wrong. We spend endless hours at work and in other activities that may not involve those we love and care about most. While I understand the importance of work, I challenge each of us to work to make more time to pour love into our relationships. When was the last time you had lunch with your best friend? When was your last date night? When was the last time you just called to say, "hello?"
Living today well, begins when we recognize that life is fleeting. I hope that these few suggestions will help get you thinking more about the importance of how we use the 1440 minutes we are given each day.

When the above picture of a dogless San Roque was sent to me by a Pampanga dealer, I was impressed by the overall carving style and uncommon representation of this pilgrim saint. The santo is dressed like a peregrine (pilgrim), with a cross carved in relief on his left chest area.
He is shown lifting the hem of his brown vestments, a finger pointing at the wound on his thigh (more common folk representations show the wound on his knee).
The hatted figure holds an original staff, with a flask tied to the tip.
The face of San Roque is lean and long, his face dour,almost devoid of expression. His glass eyes were of the imported variety, commonly referred to as "ojos de Europa", which are in fact, doll eyes that were commercially produced in Europe since the 19th c.
Keeping the saint company is an expressionless Angel in white holding a tablet with this inscription: "Los que fueron heridos de peste el favour de Roque alcanzaran salud" (Those wounded by the plague, (ask) the favor of St. Roch to attain health) This is in reference to his ministry of the sick during a pestilence in which he himself was stricken with the deadly disease.
San Roque stands on a damaged base, which has lost much of its paint. Also missing is San Roque's faithful dog, who ministered to him when he became ill himself, by bringing him bread daily.
I would date this incomplete tableau to the 1950s and I thought it's worth acquiring and restoring. The size alone—24 inches—is highly desirable. The best thing about this San Roque was its price, and when I personally saw it, I was convinced even more that I have found a truly worthy piece.
I personally undertook the cleaning of the santo and the angel, which I easily detached from the base. The base immediately went to a local painter who simply re-painted it with a marbleized effect.
The most challenging part was finding a replacement dog. Weeks before I saw this San Roque, I remembered seeing a dog being sold separately in one of the shops at Philtrade. I had made an offer for it, which the Seller did not accept.
I thought that the dog had the right proportions to match my San Roque. I returned to Philtrade and located the shop—and thank my lucky stars, the wooden dog with a whole bread in its mouth was still there! I made another offer, and this time, the Seller agreed to sell me the dog.
Soon as the base arrived, I assembled and staged the different pieces, using wooden pegs. Everything fell into place, moreso when I positioned the dog by his master's side—it was perfect fit. My San Roque tableau is finally complete.
