This Farmer's Market Chopped Salad is topped with an irresistible avocado dill dressing that is sure to earn itself a spot on the table with all your glorious Summer eats!
This is essentially the salad I've been waiting for all Fall and Winter long for. The salad of my veggie-loving dreams. The salad that I'm going to shove into my face until sweater weather is once again upon us.
Now that colorful produce is literally bursting from the ground, it's time to eat!
Farmer's Market Chopped Salad with Creamy Avocado Dill Dressing
AKA your excuse to swing by your local farmer's market and load up on all things veggie.
Farmer's Market Chopped Salad with Creamy Avocado Dill Dressing
Yield 4 -6
- fresh green beans, approx 20 spears
- 1 cup chickpeas [drained and rinsed if using canned]
- 1/2 large red pepper, diced
- 1/2 large English cucumber, diced [peeled and seeded if desired]
- 1 small zucchini, diced
- 1/2 small yellow summer squash, diced
- for the dressing:
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 TBSP vinegar [I used red wine vinegar]
- 2 TBSP Dijon mustard
- 1/4 ripe avocado
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 TBSP chopped green onion
- 1/2 tsp fresh chopped dill, plus extra to garnish
- recipe yields approx 6 cups of deliciousness and serves 4-6
- Quickly blanch green beans in boiling water for just a few minutes, until bright green. Drain, and ollow up with a quick ice bath. Drain again. Use [these tips] for tips on blanching if it's your first time using the technique. It's beyond easy!
- Chop your veggies, puree your dressing, and combine!
- Isn't that why we love salads? They're beyond easy. Of course, you'll yield best results with the dressing by pureeing it in a food processor or blender and if you prefer extra-crunchy raw green beans to blanched, go for it! I find that blanching and then chilling them in an ice bath gives them the absolute perfect blend of crispness and tenderness. I do the same for my asparagus and many of my broccoli dishes too, I'm a blanch-a-holic!
Since the flavor is most intense on the first day, I'd try to make the creamy avocado dill dressing just before serving. Don't sweat it, it's speedy!
Heading to a party? Keep the dressing in an airtight container and pour over the salad once you arrive. The avocado makes this dressing so creamy no one will guess it's dairy-free! You'll love this tasty vegan dressing!
Leftover salad? If by some miracle you have leftovers, the veggies will gobble up all that delicious dressing. Amp up the flavor even further by whipping up your favorite guacamole (or taking a fresh mashed avocado) and mixing it in with the salad. It won't look as pretty as the first day but holy green beans it's GOOD! I think I ate two cups in a sitting by shoveling it into my face with some white corn tortilla chips.
Try it, seriously!
Hellooooooooo Summer!
I hope y'all love this farmer's market chopped salad with creamy avocado dill dressing as much as we do!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Norman Conquest of England of 1066. The Cambeney family lived in Yorkshire. They were originally from Champigne or Champagne, Normandy, and it is from the family's residence there that the name derives.
Cambeney Early Origins
Normandy. From him the Chamneys of Orchardleuigh in Oxfordshire descend. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Cambeney Spelling Variations
Cambeney Spelling Variations
A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Champney, Chamnes, Chamness, Chamney, Champneys and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families left England, to avoid the chaos of their homeland and migrated to the many British colonies abroad. Although the conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and some travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute, once in the colonies, many of the families prospered and made valuable contributions to the cultures of what would become the United States and Canada. Research into the origins of individual families in North America has revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Cambeney or a variant listed above: Edward Champneys who settled in New Jersey in 1675 with his wife Priscilla, son and daughter; James Champness settled in Baltimore in 1774; John and Jane Champnes settled in Barbados in 1654..
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Pro patria non timidus perire
Motto Translation: Not afraid to die for my country.

Hi folks! This will be my first post here on the forum... Found this place while googling H4D-40.... After many years of 1series canons for my professional work I have finally made the leap back to medium format... Picked up my hd4-40 this last Monday, together with a HCD28, HC80, and the HC 50-110. Which will have most bases covered... Will be looking for a longer tele as soon as funds allow though enough rambling... This thread was about fun!
Lot's of stunning landscapes here, they outweigh the portraits/people So time to try and redress the balance... My first job with the new camera, the day after getting the hassy
Shot with the 50-110 wide open, arri fresnel lights at 800iso no noise reduction... (sorry about the large logos, these were pulled off my Facebook page.. Once I get back to work after the Easter break I will swap them out with something more subtle)
Here in colour.. Straight out of Lightroom no adjustments... White balance was set to tungsten on camera... It's a little on the cool side but the customer loved it like it is...

Something a little different... Anologue medium format Scan of a print developed in lith chemicals... Shot with hassy (500 or 503 can't remember) and 150mm lens lit with profoto beauty dish and grid...
foma tone fb mg paper.
This is a topless shot so I will link it to be on the safe side...
Lith printing is a very addictive process and I find it almost therapeutic after doing paid digital work all the time... Two versions from the same negative, with two different exposures in the enlarger and two different snatch points.... I wish I had more time for the darkroom.... And scans that could show the true beauty of a real lith print
Version two.. More exposure and slightly later snatch...
Don't know where you hang your hat, but if you're ever in north central IL, look up the town of Union, IL. The IL railroad museum is located there and it has some beauties! Several fully restored and operational steam and diesel locomotives and associated stock. Many others on display and they seem to be camera friendly!
Nice work and happy shooting!
An exercise in focus stacking. I use focus stacking occasionally for landscapes but for Macro work it can be more difficult to get right, and this shot is not quite perfect unfortunately (e.g. left stamen not perfectly sharp), but fun to do all the same Without stacking, only the stamens are sharp, but staking around 15 shots, I nearly got the whole thing sharp.
All with H4D-50, 120 Macro (Mk 1 version).

I really like your image Quentin.
What software do you use to stack and what aperture do you use as the EXIF says f4 as its something I've always wanted to try? I think PS CS5 has focus stacking but not sure if its any good.
If you say 15 exposures was not quite enough to get this totally right, what number do you think 20-30?
Nice image Quentin - would like to learn more about this stacking technique and the SW used.
I like it Quentin - great potential here and having just received the 120 SK and a bellows set-up for the Rm3di, all ready to dive in! Something like this, printed large, would be extraordinary.
Hi guys
Thanks - I used Helicon Focus. The aperture was F/12. 1/320 sec and studio lights.
Actually I used 21 shots - I miscounted! So probably 30 would do it. That's a lot, but the software seems to have no problem with virtual memory (I'm on a Windows 7 64 bit machine).
Now I should be using a focusing rail, but in fact I simply used the focus ring on the lens and shot direct in to Phocus, one after the other as fast as I could., front to back.
Where Helicon focus really rocks is with landscapes. You can use the full wide angle effect of the 28 mm lens, stop down reasonably - say to F/12, which is before diffraction becomes a serious issue - and take 3 shots (usually enough) for foregound, mid-distance and infinity. Here is one I used this technique on:
Which was shot at F/16, three images stacked. Makes a difference to those grains of sand!
and one more I have posted before, F/14, H4D-50, 28mm lens, 3 stacked shots:
Which would be impossible to achieve using the Scheimpflug principle with tilt because there are two vertical planes of focus that had to be combined - the Church and the old gateway

"Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence."
i use helicon quite a bit, but am pretty generic about it. any explanations of how the variables work?
Hi Jack
I had to edit the stack for the flower shot and a tad more in Photoshop. The problem is the blurred stamens impact the final image by creating or leaving a halo effect if you are not careful and sorting that out takes some time. With the beach image, only a little editing was necessary, and none at all with the chuch shot.

Ferrari press release
Massa: "Progress compared to Jerez
Montmelo, 23 February – This first long period of shaking down for the F2012 is now reaching its conclusion. While the mantra repeated on a daily basis by the crew of the Prancing Horse remains the same from Jerez to today – "we are acquiring data on the behaviour of the new car," there's a good reason for it: the team is concentrating mainly on analysing all the information gathered on what is a totally new project, featuring some extreme elements that require an in-depth check in order to be fit for purpose by the start of the season. The work on the track has therefore been rather different to previous winters, leaning more towards set-up modifications and on car configuration rather than looking for performance over short and long distances. Yes, there have also been a few little problems on the reliability front which have slowed down the operation, but the guide lines for the real development work are beginning to emerge and they will form the basis of the final test session next week, which will get underway on Friday 2 March, twenty four hours later than planned. Also different to usual will be the running order of the drivers, in that Felipe will start and then alternate with his team-mate, who will bring the session to an end on Monday 5 March.
Today, Felipe was back in the cockpit of the F2012 after four days in which it fell to Fernando to see to development. "The car is definitely better compared to Jerez and we are beginning to define how we must move forward to continue to improve," said the Brazilian. "I ran all the time on the hardest tyres and I am reasonably pleased with the work we did. Tomorrow, I will try the other compounds and we will work on fine tuning the car. It will be important to do a lot of kilometres over these final five days to be as well prepared as possible for the first race of the season."

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to LeBlanc with this build
|Twisted Fate
|Insanely easy. Wait for him to use his w to farm and W + R + E + Q him. If he is good he will keep his distance, but your W + R combo will be too much gap close for him. Either zone him or kill him. He doesn't win until late late game.
|Karthus wants to farm and you want to kill. Focus on dodging his Q and possibly building an early hourglass for his ult. Karthus is a monster late game so keeping him down in the lane is important. Go aggressive and trade whenever he walks up to AA or Q a minion. Your return pad is god against karthus because you can get away from his passive so quickly after killing him.
Hello! My name is G3P and I am a Diamond elo player. My most played champ for season 5 has been leblanc and I have learned many things from playing her. I hope to share every bit of what I have learned with you and assist you in gaining elo regardless of rank. If there is anything that is unclear or if there was a matchup that I didn't go over and you would like clarification on please message me and I will update the guide. I also have another account named Lithin. Both of my accounts are on NA. If you ever want advice feel free to add me.
Scaling CDR and scaling Health has become a favorite of mine. Leblanc is an assassin with a lot of potential to make plays and snowball games. Have low CDs on her abilities can make her late game seem more powerful and assist in preventing her from "falling off". If you would like more early game pressure you can go the armor yellows and mr blues, but getting picks and keeping up a high mobility is very important on leblanc.
Typical masteries are being used. Butcher for farming. In the ferocity tree vampirism and bounty hunter are a lot better than their counter parts. Fifteen ability power at level 18 doesn't really do anything because games are usually decided before then. The sustain in lane is also nice. Bounty Hunter because Leblanc is an assassin....Self explanatory. Assassin is ok and it will increase your damage by a noticeable amount. Biscuits are an option though for more sustain in lane. Dangerous game is a must though. Leblanc gets in situations where it's either going to be her or her opponent who dies. Getting the health back after a kill can save you in those 1v1s where ignite would kill you otherwise. Too useful of a mastery to pass up imo. Thunderlords is insane on leblanc so please run it. Intelligence is kind of a useless one at the moment because building an additional cdr item would screw up leblanc's build path and make her do a lot less damage.
This item is very important. It allows you to spam your W not only in lane for the wave clear and poke, but also to get around the map. The reason leblanc is such a strong solo queue champ is her mobility and using mana regen items allows her to have extreme map pressure.
Sorc Boots are a somewhat more obvious build path. Building early increases your damage in trades and your ability to roam. Can build first, but I would still recommend building another doran's ring with it because leblanc does have low base health and just building damage will hurt her survivability.
+ ARE THE BREAD AND BUTTER OF LEBLANC. These items allow leblanc to become a destructive force. Giving her the ability to one shot carries and snowball leads. I would suggest building rabadon's over luden's because luden's really is better on poking champs, but luden's can still be good by being built later in the game.
This item is god against AD mids like yasuo, zed, and talon. If this item is use correctly can negate their all in and I would advise building it first against all AD assassins(not AD carries like ezreal). Hourglass should always be a build item on leblanc. It allows her to make aggressive plays and live through it. Getting caught by cc or just trying to dodge a global ult this item helps the squishy nature of leblanc. Also later in the game her W cooldown is so short that by the time her hourglass turns off she can W out of most situations(unless caught by cc of course).
THIS ITEM IS GOD. I'm serious. This item is so strong against comps that have any mr. Once aegis and mr items start to be built then this item should come into play. Although it is situational when to build this item. Most of the time I find myself building it third or fourth. Depending on how much mr is on the other team(which is something you should be checking through out the game). If my lane opponent build any kind of mr as their first item or a jungler rushed an early aegis then I would build Void Staff second. Keeping your assassinate potential up is a must to create pressure on the map.
The only time I build this item is when it's late game. The other team has A LOT of mr and I can't deal with it with just void staff and sorc boots. Getting the extra magic pen will allow you to become a pressure on the carries of the game once again. Which is what late game is all about when playing leblanc. Killing all of the carries.
Skill Sequence and Order
I do describe this under the notes page on the skill order, but just to be clear. Taking your E third and your Q first is usually a bad idea. The reason being that early game leblanc has high mana costs and trading with 3 abilities early game can make her go oom very quickly. Instead of putting that extra point in E I suggest putting it in W. The reason being that leblanc is a roaming champion. She is strong when she is roaming and in order to do that she has to clear the lane quickly so she cant return before the enemy laner has a chance to clear the wave and make you lose cs. Clearing the wave quickly can also create pressure on the other laner to farm under tower or to prevent an all in from the enemy laner because of you have the advantage in the minion wave. The rest of the game I suggest maxing W for wave clear and roam and then Q for the burst.
Skill Sequence:
Early game pre 4 your combo will be Q + W. ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO AUTO BEFORE YOU W BACK IF YOUR OPPONENT DOESN'T HAVE HARD CC. Early game autos are strong and do a lot of damage. They can win trades because people underestimate them on AP champs. This combo is very strong early game and can win trades against most mid laners without shields. Once you put a point in your e it's all about hitting the chain. Whether that's in a trade or if you have a jungler coming into gank it's about landing your chain. If your opponent is out in the open E first and then go in for the Q + W combo. Walking up after your chain lands is also a must. This is because if your enemy flashes then the chain will still be on them. Making it impossible for the enemy to escape. Later in the game though you probably won't get the chance to get close enough to land your chain first. This is when your W comes into play. Late game your W becomes a gap closer. The combo to dive in from a flank and attempt to kill a carry will be W + R + Q + E. The reason the chain is after the Q is because you most likely won't have the time to let the second part of the E to go off. So activating the sigil with your E at the end will kill most carries late game or create enough pressure to zone the enemy off of objectives. The key is being fast though. Practicing this combo over and over can win you games off of one play.
There are really only two more combos to leblanc. The first one being the "One shot". This combo only works if you have vision control or at lower elo. The thing about this combo is that they have to be close for it to work. This combo is Q + R + W. Some people might question why I don't throw out the chain and that is because it will give them more time to react. If I know they have flash or if I know I can't one shot them with just Q + R + W then I will throw out the chain FIRST encase they do react and flash away then my chain will still be on them.
Basic Combo: (Early Game)
Pre Level 6, Post Level 3:
+ +
Late Game, Assassinating far away carries: Q And R can be interchanged
+ + +
One Shot Bush Check: (No Flash and are squishy)
+ +
One Shot Bush Check: (Have Flash or tanky)
+ + +
Very Important to have. For safety after you blow your W and R; Also to make aggressive plays. When people play against leblanc they usually don't expect her to do that much damage. Once they understand this then they play back away from Leblanc's range. Lets say I just out trade a Xerath and he is playing back from me (pre 6). Flashing foward and then Q + W or just W AA ignite would kill him. The flash catches people off guard and is very important on assassins.
The go to spell for assassins. Gets kills and snowballs leads by itself. Very important to secure kills and to gain advantages. Burst champion needs a spell that does damage.
How to Play in Ranked
Have to edit the part about her being strong in solo queue now. She went from being one of the strongest to one of the weakest. Her W is extremely slow now and her E is very hard to land. I'm pretty sure someone who just started the game can get off cc fast enough to stop every W now. She isn't nearly as viable as other champions; which is why I suggest picking someone else until she is buffed. Also in a meta full of tanks she does some of the lowest sustained damage in the game. Riot nerfed assassins in a tank meta which amazes me. Sorry about this rant, but I'm pretty disappointed. Leblanc is terrible in team fights if she is behind or going even in lane. She is an assassin and does not have as good aoe or range as other mid laners. Knowing this you have to understand that grouping is almost always a bad idea with leblanc. Unless of course you are sieging or countersieging. Even with objectives you should be establishing ward control before you want to go for said objective and then try to get picks. Leblanc is the master at taking people down 100 to 0. Use that to your advantage to secure important objectives. Also just keep in mind that wards win games. If you know everything that the enemy is doing then how can you ever be in a bad position? Which brings me to another point. LOOK AT YOUR MAP. All the time. You should be glancing down at your map every few seconds to know where their jungler is or who is pushed up. This is because leblanc is very good at roaming. If your Ashe, Vel'Koz lane is getting shoved in bot by Graves, Sona then you know you it should be an easy roam down bot lane. Although, don't go the usual route. Use your W to dash over walls and be unpredictable. This increases the chance that you won't be seen by a ward. You could even come up in lane because leblanc has insane gap closer. More than anything, play aggressive. Leblanc is strong because of the leads she can get and her mobility. Being stronger just makes your utilities even better.
Another important aspect is where to place wards. Try to figure out where their jungler is starting. To do this see who comes to lane first top or bot. Whoever comes late is most likely where their jungler is starting. Although, you should also take into account what champions are top and bottom. A champ like Maokai will most likely start raptors or a bot lane with janna,thresh (pretty much any supp) will most likely duo gromp or krugs. You can tell if they killed it by their health. Determining where their jungler will be once he hits lvl 3 will determine where you place your ward. Try to place your ward where it will see both paths from the river, and from the enemy's camp. The corridors that lead to dragon and baron are the best places to see. Champions that can dash over walls will still be spotted out.
Team Work and Blue Buff
Leblanc is very easy to gank for. Because of her gap close and chain she can lock down almost any target who is far away from her. Although you should communicate to your jungler when certain abilities are on cooldown. Like an important stun or a flash. Anything that could make a gank not successful should be communicated before the gank. Also all other laners should be accounted for. If the other team has good vision control and their top riven is missing then it is not a good idea for your jungler to go in because riven is probably sitting on the other side of the river and your jungler is probably sitting on a ward. BUY WARDS AND CLEAR WARDS. Especially before objectives come up. Having ward control is having the power to take objectives and to create picks for your team.
One thing about blue bluff is that it is extremely important on leblanc. Another thing about blue buff is that leblanc is very good at killing it. Once you hit 11 you can solo blue buff without your jungler. It might be tedious, but having blue buff(even if you have to back after taking it) allows you to roam and to spam poke against the enemy mid laner. Mostly roaming. This is because it's great if you win lane and everything, but if you roam bottom and that ashe, vel'koz lane gets a kill then it is going to make it a lot easy to win the game by snowballing not just yourself, but your team.
The csing for this champion is fairly basic. For caster minions you will have to AA them before they come under tower or AA then Q them after they get hit by a tower shot. Melee minions will still die from one auto after taking two tower shots early game. Later in the game you will have to use more abilities to farm. Getting all of the minions low and then using your W to one shot them is also a common technique. Although, if all of the minions are at full health and your team needs you W+R is a quick way to clear the wave and move to help your team.
Play aggressive. Really. Leblanc isn't one of those late game champions who will become God when they hit 4 items(KASSADIN). She is all about winning lane and snowballing leads. If you have any questions about my guide or would like me to add more please feel free to message me. Thank you.

Really a continuation of the previous book (The Vanishing Game) - which explains the unsatisfactory end of Vanishing Game, it didn't end. Since there is no warning that it is a two parter, I'm giving you one now. Be sure to read Vanishing Game before you read Into Thin Air.

ACCRA, Ghana — The worldwide financial crisis is now affecting Africa's hungriest people, in places like Eastern Chad and the Ethiopian steppes, as the United Nations World Food Program struggles to feed growing numbers of famished people on a tighter budget.
Despite the global economic crunch, global humanitarian giving to food support has actually increased slightly — but it just hasn't kept up with global hunger, say U.N. officials.
The World Food Program had a $6.7 billion budget for 2009 but it has received less than roughly $2 billion so far. In its rosiest projections, the agency hopes to receive $3.7 billion by the year's end.
For Africans living off trucked-in food aid, that means lighter and fewer rations. Food agencies are surveying medical reports from distant camps to select which parts of the population they can cut from their programs.
In drought-troubled Uganda, the U.N. hopes to feed 2 million people, but has less than a third of its expected funding. Officials have had to suspend food deliveries to 600,000 Ugandans in the nation's north alone.
In Ethiopia, the U.N. has altogether stopped food aid to 200,000 people who would otherwise be receiving regular rations. The number of people who qualify for food aid in that country has swelled from 4.2 million at the start of the year, to about 6 million, and the hunger season — when food from the last harvest runs out — began in earnest only last month. Officials have also had to cut specialized maternal and childcare services. The Somalia program, $130 million short, will likely cut rations in south and central Somalia, and cut all food aid to northern Somalia, as foodstocks peter out in October.
By the end of September, officials in Kenya expect to run out of cereals, the bulk of their food provisions.
"We fear that we could be looking at, in the next couple of months, the worst emergency in Kenya since the big drought in the year 2000," said Peter Smerdon, senior spokesperson for the Kenya program.
In Rome, the U.N. announced that it will no longer be able to afford the chartered flights that bring U.N. doctors, nutritionists, sanitation experts and maternal healthcare workers into the remote small towns and refugee camps where so much U.N. food aid is distributed.
"If we don't get a cash injection by that time, we will have to start winding the service down, and ultimately the whole service itself will be suspended," said the program's senior public affairs officer, Greg Barrow.
"How will doctors reach their patients? How will people have clean water if the engineers who help to build wells can't get there?" wrote Pierre Carrasse, chief of the program's aviation department, in a media statement.
The timing comes at an awkward moment for farmers and livestock herders in East Africa and the Sahel, where drought and high food prices have aggravated unemployment and hunger.
Food prices in African markets have been so awry that, in a rare twist, the U.N. finds itself feeding the urban poor in capital city shantytowns, where humanitarian assistance has never before been needed. Many of the newcomers there are ex-shepherds and goatherds who have abandoned the desiccating pastures of Africa's Sahel.
Those herders who have stayed behind, and are trying to eke out a living despite plummeting livestock prices, are becoming more difficult for aid agencies like WFP to reach.
And the food itself is coming from further afield, too. In East Africa, food agencies are buying foodstocks from India and South Africa to keep from depleting the already strained local supply.
"We're at the point where the numbers of hungry people are projected to pass 1 billion for the first time in human history," Barrow said. "The budget that we are asking for this year is a lot of money, but if you compare it to the amount of money that governments have found for financial rescue programs and economic stimulus, it's actually not a lot, and the impact if we can't find that money is going to be huge."

This article has to do with the issue of water retention and extra water weight. It's a concern that gets asked rather often. "Exactly how do I eliminate excess water?" or "I can not see my abs yet because of excess water.".
Most of the time individuals often tend to overstate water weight and ignore the quantity of fat deposits they have actually left.
Water policy is rather intricate and entails the interaction of a lot of hormones and minerals (salt, potassium, magnesium mineral, calcium). Causing a disruption in one could affect the whole system quite substantially.
Your body is excellent at taking care of water weight and retention by itself supplied it gets involved in the called for minerals. After that you might have some health care disorder in which instance you need to go see a doc, if it is not.
Nevertheless, before thinking that you are one of the unusual people with a health care problem, if you are not entering quality nourishing food (lots of veg particularly) and satisfying your vitamins/minerals needs, then this could be disrupted.
If one does experience water retention this is most likely due to a disruption in the BALANCE of electrolytes:.
More so than higher degrees of sodium intake this is triggered by changes in sodium – typically by consuming lots of meals higher in salt some recipes and days considerably lower on various other days.
Other factors are associated with 'times of the month' for women, inadequate potassium/magnesium and indeed, drinking insufficient water.
So conserve your money on 'water battling' supplements. Many lawful ones hardly work, and the illegal ones are extremely risky and possibly fatal.
Right here are 7 foods that could aid against excess water weight and eliminate ballooning:.
1. Avocado's – higher potassium material and simply all-round bad-ass cool veg. It's likewise one of the only vegetables with such a high (great) fatty tissue material.
2. Banana's – likewise quite higher in potassium and magnesium.
3. Environment-friendly Herbal tea – just what's eco-friendly tea bad for eh? Acts as a mild diuretic due to its high levels of caffeine material too.
4. Nuts – specifically almonds. Great snacks, excellent good fats, as well as a fantastic resource of minerals, including potassium and magnesium.
5. Yogurts – this is a unique one as it's effect is various to the others in the sense that as opposed to providing the minerals that help versus water retention, yogurts provide good micro-organisms which are very important for intestine health and extraction of toxins. Good gut health and wellness is directly connected to your physical body's potential to purge out excess water.
6. Green veg – most likely the # 1 option to water retention. I can not worry the importance of vegetables enough, especially environment-friendly ones.
7. Intricate carbohydrates as opposed to straightforward carbohydrates – we know that for every 1 gram of carbs we keep, we store around 3 grams of water. Well most complex carbohydrate meals are much a lot more nutritionally thick so you're obtaining additional bang for your buck in terms of minerals and vites. Due to complex carbohydrates being much more fibrous you usually tend to eat much less calories when sticking to starches as opposed to simple sweets.
Hope the above was of some help to you. Whether you have excess water weight or you do not, the above meals are often excellent additions to any kind of diet.

Police are investigating the theft of approximately 1,000 gallons of gas — worth an estimated $4,500 — from a gas station in Roseville, California, KCRA reports.
The alleged thief pumped the gas before prices jumped this week, the station reported, though it's not clear if it was an inside job.
The station says the thieves were able to bypass the pump's meter to take as much as they wanted.

The Census Bureau's formal release of an alternative way to measure poverty in the United States is 16 months away, but the rumblings of unease can already be heard about the politically sensitive indicator, says the Washington Times.
The bureau's Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM), which will be released September 2011, is "a bogus and dishonest propaganda device," Robert Rector, senior research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told a Brookings Institution briefing recently.
"It's a Trojan horse," introduced under the name of poverty, but designed to find endless "income inequality" that must be fixed with even more spending on anti-poverty programs, Rector said. The government will spend $900 billion on means-tested aid to poor and low-income persons this year alone, he added.
- Policy experts have been working for at least 15 years on a new poverty standard to supplement -- or eventually replace -- the measure that has been used since the 1960s, a measure that many critics say does not reflect contemporary realities and needs.
- The problem: some experts think the current measure overstates the number of poor Americans, while another group argues it vastly understates the number.
"Call me cynical, but I can see this [measure] as an attempt to redistribute more wealth further down the road," said Pamela Villarreal, who studies tax issues at the National Center for Policy Analysis.
"I think that what is going to happen is that, even though this is an alternative measure [today], there's going to be a lot of political pressure to make this alternative measure the standard measure. And then you're going to see a lot more money devoted to fighting poverty," said Ms. Villarreal.

Ruby Glover was a jazz vocalist who was given the title "Godmother of Jazz" in 1993 by Baltimore mayor Kurt Schmoke. As a professor at Sojourner-Douglass College, she influenced many young students of the Baltimore community.
Here are a few other amazing facts about the Godmother of Jazz:
1. Ruby Glover was born on December 6, 1930. While Growing up in East Baltimore, Glover inherited her talents from her mother, Inez Edwards Bell, who was also a performer during the 1920s and 1930s.
2. At the age of six, Ruby began singing at funerals for family members.
3. Began singing at dances and talent contests after high school, and became a local favorite in Pennsylvania Avenue's jazz clubs.
4. Never forgot Baltimore and the importance of giving back.
5. She taught jazz history at Sojourner-Douglass College and voice at Towson University.
6. Suffered a stroke on stage while performing at the East Baltimore's Creative Alliance on October 19, 2007, and died the following day.

Abominable tax rates for the half who supports the half that doesn't pay taxes
The Sensible Middle Bountiful, UTJan. 10, 2013 8:54 a.m.
Republicans fought tooth and nail to keep taxes from going up on the wealthy.
Too bad they do just the opposite with those with low income.
Is it any wonder more more Americans now align with the democratic party than the republican party?
cjb Bountiful, UTJan. 10, 2013 7:33 a.m.
Those at the lower end of the income scale are the ones at risk to join the military and have their children join, and be killed or physically or mentally damaged.
Risk is not free, my insurance company will not assume my risk unless I pay them money.
Therefore those at the lower end of the income scale DO pay their share.
The poor do pay taxes, they pay state and local taxes. They shouldn't pay as much taxes as the rich, why ... because they are poor.

Eastman Kodak lost 85% of its stock value - people aren't buying film due to availability of digital imaging. Similarly buggy manufactures have fallen on hard times. Obama is responsible. Sears is shedding customers faster than my dog looses hair - clearly Obama is to blame for Sear's merchandising failure. Start up companies are dropping like flies, again Obama's fault. Start up companies never used to fail. Finally, let us shed a tear for coal. Faced with record low prices on natural gas, coal is loosing its luster with whiny Americans who prefer mercury free water and fish. I remember before Obama ruined everything, good folks everywhere couldn't get enough mercury. We put it in our rectal thermometers, our teeth and our vaccines - just loved the stuff. We should have mercury supplements for our children. Instead, Obama is killing coal along with everything else he touches. How the Almighty could let the White Horse Candidate loose to that uppity renter in the White House is just a mystery.

dwayne's comments above illustrate the basic ignorance most of us have regarding U.S. social programs versus the social programs of other successful industrialized countries.
First of all, U.S. social policy is anything but "liberal". It is in-fact extremely conservative; much more conservative than all OECD countries, including our neighbor to the north.
For example, an excellent paper titled "Responding to Need: A Comparison of Social Safety Nets in Canada and the U.S., authored by Rebecca M. Blank and Maria J. Hanratty (of Northwestern University), describes the two systems and examines why the much more liberal Canadian system has been far more effective in reducing and eliminating poverty than the more conservative U.S. system.
dwayne's assertions do not hold up when compared to real-world data and experience.
mark Salt Lake City, UTJan. 7, 2013 9:48 p.m.
"I recognize the root cause."
Really? Do you?
"Liberals tax the wealthy. . ."
Liberals tax the wealthy. That is one of your "root causes"? Taxing the wealthy. So in other words the wealthy should not be taxed? Just the poor? Interesting.
"They impose minimum wage laws"
Can you tell us what the federal minimum wage is? Just off the top of your head? And you are saying that employers should pay people less then this? Even when they are making historical profits?
"They support welfare policies. . ." Can you intelligently discuss welfare in this country? In other words, how much does a divorced mother of two receive a month in "welfare"? And for how long?
". . . prevents them from having to ask for help. . ."
And who would you have this divorced mother begging from? The "wealthy community member", as you say? Do you think she would ever be allowed an audience to beg from this "wealthy community member"? And when they say no? Friends, family, neighbors. You go knock on your neighbors door and beg for money. And when they say no? Friends and family. And if they say no? Or they don't have the money?
No wonder conservatives are losing.

@Christian 24-7
"We should totally simplify the tax code. What is your income? Pay x percent. No deductions, period."
How would "income" be defined above? For example, let's say an electrician works for a company (who provides his truck, tools, etc.) and earns wages of $100k. Another electrician has his own business, hires a scheduler (whom he pays $30k), leases a truck (for $3k), and pays for his tools and materials ($15k). He bills his customers a total of $100k during the year. Assuming the tax rate is 15%, how much tax does each pay under your proposed system?
merich39 Salt Lake City, UTJan. 7, 2013 5:50 p.m.
If we are so over-taxing the most wealthy in this country, how is it that their percentage of the country's total wealth keeps getting larger? The argument from the right seems to be that we are taxing the wealth right out of their hands. But the actual numbers don't bear that out.
The wealthy are going to continue to accumulate a larger piece of the pie. Increasing their tax rates a bit will only serve to slow down the rate at which their wealth increases. Increased tax rates certainly aren't going to send them all to the poor house.

"The numbers are in for Q3 and big business has $1.75 trillion worth of reasons to celebrate as these record-breaking results improved on last year's numbers by a stunning 18.6 percent—the largest after-tax profit quarter in the nation's history.
And that's just for openers as total Q3 profits broke another record by accounting for a huge 11.1 percent of the U.S. economy.
To understand just how big these numbers are, consider that the last period of economic expansion in America produced profits averaging 8 percent of the economy, significantly below their current percentage of GDP.
But do you know who doesn't have it quite so grand?
The American worker—that hard working employee who, according to CNN Money, citing newly published government reports, has seen his or her wages dip to an all-time low as a percentage of GDP during the most recent quarter." -3rd Quarter Corporate Profits Reach Record High-Worker Pay Hits Record Low:So How Exactly Is Obama The 'Anti-Business' President?

My next door neighbor has 8 kids and probably makes in the $50-$60k salary range. He pays no FIT because of all the dependent deductions he gets.
So step number 1 is to eliminate the federal and state deductions for dependents. It's not fair for the 50% who do pay FIT to carry the burden of the 50% who pay not FIT, including those who pay no FIT because they willingly choose to have very large families.

"It is unfortunate because roughly half the people who pay no taxes expect to be supported by the roughly half who do pay taxes." ~ letter
As I said earlier -- this letter is an out-right lie.
We ALL pay taxes.
Sales tax,
Gas tax,
Sate Tax,
Hunting and Fishing License taxes,
Public Utilities tax,
Property tax,
Income tax,
Social Secuirty tax,
ect., ect. there are at least 95 types of taxes.
Some I pay, some I don't.
But to somehow single out Federal Income Tax as the ONLY tax is a Republican Mitt Romney lie.
FYI - MOST Corporations and the uber-wealthy 1% don't pay ANY of the taxes the rest of us do.
Because thet are either Tax Exempt,
and/or Tax Deductible.
Most of the "tax-loop-holes" only work in THEIR favor, not ours.
And Mitt couldn't even name ONE of them he'd try to close.
BTW - Ironic how Republicans blame Obama for class warfare?

@mountinaman.... you just listed a bunch of companies that have been in decline for over d decade. Why didn't you at some telegraph and horse and buggy companies in there. Yes, companies whose primary business are things like photographic film... have been desiccated. You forgot Poloroid. too
The you go on "reen Energy" companies are dropping like flies, even after getting massive cash infusions from the government. "
Lets talk high tech, companies in the 70's and 80's in silicon valley. What percentage of the startups, even with some government aide do you think survived? What percent of emerging technology companies do you expect to survive? What percent of car companies that were started survived. What a weak argument..... it's a bad industry because startups fail in the industries early days?
Life is a bit more complex than pithy little political rhetoric talking points... for every failing company you state I can give you 50 doing well. For every Sears, there is an Amazon. For every Kodak there is a Google. If stock value is your measure... the market has doubled in the last 4 years.... so be carefully which KPI you choose.

Except that Romney won 8 out of 10 states with the highest concentration of 47%ers, a large part of the reason why we have so many people paying taxes is that when republicans instituted welfare reform they focused more on giving tax cuts (earned income tax credit) instead of larger welfare checks as a means of encouraging people to work, and these "abominable tax rates" are the same rates (for the rich) that they paid during the Clinton era. I don't know much about the letter writer, but given how little we pay our troops I'd say he's not in the highest income bracket and thus has lower taxes (at least at the federal level) than he did under Clinton.

""It is unfortunate because roughly half the people who pay no taxes expect to be supported by the roughly half who do pay taxes."
The fantasy world inhabited by Republicans and the outrageous spin-cycle they have fallen into are a significant cause of concern for our country."
Wrong!! this is reality. I meet these people all the time. I hear them on TV. I am one of them. No one pays income tax who isn't really rich. The rich half of the country really does need to support us. We can't do it on our own. They rich have taken sooo much away from the poor and they are just sitting on all that money. The only way to get it is to tax it out of them. Then it can go back into circulation and be spent again and stimulate the economy.
Eric Samuelsen Provo, UTJan. 7, 2013 9:40 a.m.
I completely agree. I think it's horrible that people whose income is entirely from investments pay nothing towards Social Security or Medicare. Payroll taxes should cover, not just people who receive a paycheck, but everyone.
Oh, you're talking about federal income tax. Yeah, that's a tax that's not intended for poor people. That's how it was designed. So the fact that some people don't pay it is no big deal.
That's kind of how taxes work. Different taxes for people in different categories. For example, I did not pay a dime in estate taxes last year. I managed that by not dying.
Kent C. DeForrest Provo, UTJan. 7, 2013 9:34 a.m.
"It is unfortunate because roughly half the people who pay no taxes expect to be supported by the roughly half who do pay taxes."
The fantasy world inhabited by Republicans and the outrageous spin-cycle they have fallen into are a significant cause of concern for our country.
What this sort of nonsense masks is the real question we should all be asking: Why are there so many Americans who cannot earn enough to qualify to pay federal income tax?
If the Republicans could put all their creative energies into answering that question instead of making stuff up so that they can bolster their dysfunctional ideology, perhaps I would vote for one of them. But until they start recognizing the root causes of the symptoms they so arrogantly detest, they will become increasingly irrelevant to solving any problems except extracting lint from their own navels.
Christian 24-7 Murray, UTJan. 7, 2013 9:36 a.m.
Part II
We should require our congress and president to agree on a budget which is no larger than the previous year's revenue, period. They may only spend money we actually have, up to the amount of the previous year's revenue. Once it is used, any additional money that comes in that year pays down the debt. If we go to war, we better have a budget for it, or decide where to take it from, in advance.
We have many money savvy leaders in our nation, but they are held hostage by a class of voters who will only vote for them if they spend beyond our means, and make it look like they are punishing the successful. It is lunacy.
Mountanman Hayden, IDJan. 7, 2013 9:30 a.m.
Old man; Hate speech, what's that? Anything you don't agree with? That is very irrational.
Blue. OK, you win, oil companies are doing well. Some examples of many that are not are; Eastman Kodak lost 85% of their stock value last year, Office Max lost 75%, Bank of America (even after the bailout) lost 61%, Sears lost 34%, Best Buy lost 32%,Hewlett-Packard lost 38%, Washington Post lost 20% and the list goes on. "Green Energy" companies are dropping like flies, even after getting massive cash infusions from the government.
Clearly, all American corporations are not doing well. And then there are the coal companies.
Christian 24-7 Murray, UTJan. 7, 2013 9:30 a.m.
We should totally simplify the tax code. What is your income? Pay x percent. No deductions, period. Flat tax. We would eliminate a lot of useless jobs at the IRS and for sneaky accountants. We would get the rich to actually pay the rate instead of deducting it all. Same for corporations. 75% of the people would understand the sacrifice that paying income tax really is, and they would demand that elected folks be more careful with where the money goes. It would solve a multitude of problems.
I really think a progressive tax would be better for the workers of our country EXCEPT that it breeds a whole class of people who think that if someone has more than another person, they should be obligated to give them the difference. In fact it has come down to more of a kamikaze attitude that some of the lower class have, that if they are poor, they want to take the whole country down with them.

@mountainman... you asked....
"As a share of gross domestic product, corporate profits also have been increasing, and they now represent 11.2 percent of total output. That is the highest share since the fourth quarter of 2006, when they accounted for 11.7 percent of output." - Commerce Department.
Now I am sure you will not consider that a reliable source so lets try another... Disney from their own press release;
"Walt Disney Company Finishes Fiscal 2012 With Record Revenue And Profit"
"Chairman and CEO Bob Iger summed up Disney's fiscal year 2012 as , "a great year for Disney by every measure — creatively, financially and strategically."
The Disney theme parks and resorts led among all of the company's divisions in terms of percentage gains for profit and revenue. With it's 4th quarter profit a pleasingly 18% above last year and a whopping 22% increase from the year before as well!"
There lots more of these... not enough room to put them all
So Mountainman - it wasn't hard at all for fine "one" example - which begs the question of where in the heck do you get your information?

I would love to find this mythical non-tax paying American. I have yet to meet one. From the sounds of it, they must all be hiding in Utah and Idaho.
I think most reasonable people understand we have a spending problem, but there are those who think telling fantasy stories about mythical people who are living off the hard work of others, not paying any taxes, is a scary statement of where real honesty and values rest.
We can argue about how to get to where need to go.... but to pretend that my mom (a 47%er) who now lives with me and my family is a freeloader on society because she pays no income tax ANYMORE, although she pays all kids of other taxes, is worthy of demonization really show how base some fractions of the conservative movement has become.

Mountanman, if this is "socialist America," then when you consider that corporate profits are at an all-time record high, unions are being decimated, and the accelerating concentration of wealth into the hands of the nation's top 1%, you'd have to conclude that we're actually really bad at being socialists.

Please turn off the hate radio and try to learn something that is true.

Welcome to socialism America, where the majority can vote the minority out of their money until no one has any money, especially those not born yet!

Mr. Lundgreen, please share your successful techniques for squeezing blood from turnips. Then go have your Mercedes detailed while you agonize over the utter injustice of les miserables, who struggle to live on less than you make in interest on your investments, being free from the oppressive burden of income taxation that you bear on their behalf.

There are a lot of problems with this letter, but I just point out one significant factual error. Half of the contry do not pay any taxes. First you have to exclude all the children then you have to understand that there are all kinds of taxes that are paid by the proverbial 47%. They pay sales taxes, property taxes, State Income Taxes, Social Security witholding taxes, and many others. What the author fails to mention is that this discussion is really about Federal income taxes. And yes, there are many who under the law don't make enough money to be above the poverty level as adjusted for their personal situation like the number of dependants they must support, or that they have a disability like blindess.
And if you want to get after "persons" who pay no federal income taxes, perhaps you should mention the giant corporations who employ a bevy of accountants just to avoid paying any taxes at all.

I'm a veteran who loves this country too.
and I've got NEWS for you -- Everybody pays taxes.
Even a homeless begger pays taxes,
even it's just on that $1 cup of coffee.
So this letter is wrong from the git-'go.
If you are referring for Mitt Romney's 47% not paying Federal Income tax.
Then say, "Mitt Romney's 47% who do not pay Federal Income tax."
Be Specific.
Saying nearly half of Americans don't pay ANY tax is a flat-out lie.
Why does the DN publish such factless non-sense?
