Checking out dud links
I'm extremely lucky that I've the week off between Christmas and New Years. Often this time is filled meeting up with friends that might be in town for the holiday, taking down decorations, catching movies at the theater, or simply doing things I want to do.
In this case, I finally caught up with "favorite" photo albums to span the last few years. It's an annual event I let slip back in 2007 and I'm not sure why, as it's a fantastic way to give some shape to the flipping of the calendar.
So I hunkered down after Christmas and sorted. And sorted.
It's an arduous process and I seem to leave more snapshots on the cutting room floor than I'd like, but that's part of the curating process. I call these albums "favorite" photos instead of "best" because they might not be the most excellent photos in the world. But they might represent a moment that was meaningful.
And 2010? Well it was the hardest to whittle down. The year started with a trip to SXSW and I met so many great folks for the first time. (And I've never posted all the photos from that event because there are So. Many.)
I went to Brooklyn. Played ambassador to the midwest for visitors from California. Did a handful of roadtrips to St. Louis, and Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I went to Southeast Asia—for three weeks. I came back from there and went right back out to spend a big hunk of time on the left coast.
And in between all of this travel? I enjoyed my time at home in Ohio. Met new friends. Made new traditions. Enjoyed some old ones.
I like to think 2010 was great, and I'm hoping 2011 continues on that trajectory.
So enough words, here's links to the favorites: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.

Southeast Asia
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
So I'm crossing off one of those places on my bucket list of sorts:
At least parts of it.
My friends Chris and Dan are fantastic travelers and planners. They planted the seed for this trip earlier in the year and I said, "Heck yeah!"
Now it's September and, along with a good fella named Adam, we're winding our way around Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand.
We're not even halfway into it, but it's already been a marathon of incredible sights, pushy souvenir vendors, crazy road rules, food galore (some great, some "eh"), hotel rooms for a night or two, drinks that have umbrellas and good ol' beer, washing clothes in the tub, exhaustion at night, early mornings, and heat—lots of humid, drenching heat.
It's been awesome.
Just got into Luang Prabang in Laos this evening... haven't even seen the place in the daylight. But if I can stop freaking out about mosquito bites and malaria, I think I'm going to love it here.
Enough typing for now, it's bedtime! Until my next infrequent update, there are naturally some photos so far:

My photo processing technique
Folks write in and ask what process I use on images and I'm not ashamed to say I start with an action set called Vintage Film for Photoshop. It's free. Though, I should mention the cost of Photoshop isn't included. The good news is that most of the techniques used in the automated set can be achieved with free or inexpensive photo editing programs and websites.
Once I run the default set I go through and fiddle—usually lowering the opacity of these layers made by the Vintage Film Action Set:
- Sepia
- Cross Process
- Vignette
- Center Fill Light
- Magenta Cast
The amount varies but I usually keep things around 20% opacity.
Why do I do this? Well, in January I set out to make the entire year of 2010 appear as a cohesive set when viewed together. I honestly don't know why but I always think things will make more sense once you get everything together and take a step back.
Oh, and it's fun.

2/27/10 - Thanks to Tom for snapping this photo.
Hats off to my friend Mr. Pratt for bringing the wine a very long way to dinner.
It was serendipity that his travels brought him to Cincinnati on the last week of February, as the final Saturday of the month is a holiday of sorts. Open That Bottle Night (OTBN) is an annual event coined a decade ago by John Brecher and Dorothy Gaiter, former wine columnists for the Wall Street Journal.
The intent of the occasion doesn't fit neatly in a greeting card.
In Dorothy & John's words:
This is why we invented OTBN, which is celebrated on the last Saturday of February every year. Whether it's the only bottle in the house or one bottle among thousands, just about all of us have that very special wine that we always mean to open, but never do. On OTBN every year, thousands of bottles all over the world are released from prison and enjoyed. With them come memories of great vacations, long-lost loved ones and bittersweet moments. The whole point of our wine column is that wine is more than the liquid in the bottle. It's about history, geography, relationships and all of the things that are really important in life.That's pretty kick ass. During their tenure at the WSJ they rated wines on a scale of "Yech", "OK", "Good", "Very Good", "Delicious" to "Delicious!". That's also kick ass.(from Sprucing Up for Wine's Night. 26 January, 2007)
So it was a good set-up as we met Tom & Wendy at a favorite restaurant that allowed outside beverages (see corkage).
Mr. Pratt brought the wine. Each bottle, carefully considered, was coupled with stories both dear and auspicious.
When I asked him what he thought after having a sip from the second bottle he said "ineffable." With some shame I asked him what that meant.
"There are no words. It means it can't be described" but he went on to mention that it had a feeling, a sort of tingling.
Great, I thought. Here I said it had the aroma of a freshly painted room—which it did—but what I didn't say is that a freshly painted room was the smell of new beginnings! But I felt a little tingle too; and I don't think it was from embarrassment.
Tangent? I once worked with a designer that never said anything negative when a client offered lame input. He'd simply say, "Well, that is really something!" with palpable excitement.
Luckily my friend isn't one to mince words and he regarded the paint fume comment without visible distress. He's also very patient.
I always thought patience was one of the most important components of wine, but this day gave me the perspective that it's not always about waiting, it's also about sharing the experience, and this evening was exceptional.
- Full Pour - Mr. Pratt contributes tasting notes with Mr. Coldrey who lives on the other side of the globe. Their site celebrates wine, favoring context over scores.
- My favorite exchange from the movie Sideways - You probably know the scene, with Maya and Miles.
- The Mysterious Heart of Deliciousness - The last column from Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher in the Journal.
- Lastly, I should probably mention the wines from dinner: 2005 Cayuse Cailloux syrah and 2003 Clonakilla shiraz viognier

Ignite Cincinnati
Kate's random shoes-ings
Ducked out of work a few minutes early to head down to the Know Theatre in Cincinnati to catch the second Ignite Cincinnati thing.
What is this thing? 5 minute presentations, each with 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds. Topics are both voted on and curated, spanning the gamut from local, global, personal and business.
These events are happening all over (view a list of cities), and I think its pretty darn great. Get people together, share ideas and keep it tidy.
Oh, and there's beer. (Your mileage may vary)
The dozen or so presentations were varied, with touching, humorous and insightful moments. Sure some rolled better than others, but to nitpick would be a disservice to the notion.
Which makes me wonder, what would I say if I had 5 minutes and 20 slides? It's a great question to ask ourselves even outside the framework of an event like this or TED or that wedding toast.
I definitely wouldn't talk about consistent blogging or how to use an iron.
Anyway, it was a most excellent evening; I met lots of folks again or for the first time — and it got me to think.
Dunno when the next one will be but those sorts of details can be found on these websites: Ignite Cincinnati or Ignite (all over)

10 years ago
I look less pained now, I think
Sent out my passport to get renewed yesterday. Looks like my old one was issued in July of 2000.
Back then I was gearing up for a vacation to Europe with an unknown destination. A friend from high school and I met in Heidelberg, flipped a coin, and ended up in Greece for a week.
It was awesome. We took a boat out to Skiathos (to give you a visual - parts of Mamma Mia were filmed there). We ate excellent food, drank like fish, hit the tiny discos at night and spent the days on the beach where I finished reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
So what else was going on a decade ago? Let's see...
I was twenty-eight years old and working (probably too much) with a web design company I had started with friends in Cincinnati.
This was our heyday and super enjoyable even with the extended hours. I'm pretty sure all said and done there were 10 of us working together—a close knit group of friends from high school, college and beyond.
We had a warehouse studio on the edge of downtown, afternoon breaks with fresh fruit prepared by our office manager (my mom) and sometimes we'd even take to the windows and let off steam by blowing bubbles down to the sidewalk three stories below.
It wasn't all lollipops and rainbows. As work was going great, I was closeted and pretty disgruntled by the challenge of opening that particular door. (Fret not, the following year would see everything change for the better on that front.)
Other tidbits from the year 2000:
- Rung in the new year in Salida Colorado with good friends, thinking it would be a fine way to ride out any glitches from Y2K bugs.
- Shot photos with questionable skill using a little APS film camera and a Sony Mavica that stored photos on a 3.5" diskette.
- Listenined to Grandaddy's "The Sophtware Slump" on repeat.
- Also enjoyed David Gray, Crowded House, Coldplay, Adrian Belew, Guided by Voices, Moby and Travis.
- Cried at Erin Brockovich in the theater and caught other flicks including Cast Away, Gladiator, Chocolat, High Fidelity, Godzilla 2000 and Requiem for a Dream.
- Drove a VW Passat.
- It was an election year, so you can imagine it was crazy (I went with Gore and felt good about that).
- Didn't have a beard, just a goatee. Couldn't grow one proper for the life of me.
And now here I am sporadically posting in my journal. Hi!

Hello Brooklyn
When I say "Hello Brooklyn," in my mind, I hear some Beastie Boys beats immediately drop afterward
I got here to New York yesterday and it's been go! go! go! ever since.
This is why I live in Ohio because otherwise I'd be dead from sheer exhaustion.
Heck, I should be sleeping now.
Last night? The Long Count opened, which is part of the reason I'm here. I had no idea what to expect from this visual and musical collaboration and I found it to be weird and wonderful and exhilarating. I'm not good with words, Brooklyn Vegan puts them together real good (and has a sample MP3) as bonus.
Today? Woke up way early and made it down to the chock-full-of-awesome-people Studio 612a where I finally, after years of online fawning, met The Swiss Miss live and in person.
First words? "Oh my you're tall!"
A bit of chat, gushing, 30 questions, some of the most excellent coffee one can make without a barista on hand, then it was time to get down to survey the possibilities with FictiveKin.
Not sure exactly what will be packed in the next few days, but I am reminded that any trip to New York is too short.

so many days, I lost count
So those 60+ days that just rolled by? Well, I was taking photos all along the way. Don't worry, I'm fine, really. Just remiss and have lots of stories and news to share.
At one point I thought I'd never get my act together and post them. So I spent this week sorting and selecting and did a push on Sunday, filling in all the visual blanks.
There were a lot of moments that deserve their own journal entry - but for now? This'll have to do:
Scroll through all the snapshots at the "album," ten days at a time.

The Breeders
Various backdrops in a Dayton alley
The Breeders kick-off show at the Southgate House last night was awesome.
They played a mix from every album and sounded extremely great.
Man I love this band.
And this type of succinct articulation is exactly why I am not getting paid to write about music.
Extra bonuses of the evening:
- Sushi.
- Running in to Shiv from WOXY before he heads down to big hot Texas.
- Seeing for the first time, the new full color version of the Fate to Fatal EP.
- Hanging out with lots of friendly folks I haven't seen in a while.

I'll pass
While there are some really interesting aspects to the iPhone, it's clear after some examination that Apple is a newbie to making cell phones. There are fundamentals they just don't get yet:
I'll pass
1) no replaceable battery. This isn't an ipod, it's a communication device that some people NEED 100% accessibility with. That means when your battery goes dead, you swap in another one. This is not possible with the iPhone.
Yep. People walk around with spare cell phone batteries in their pockets so they can swap them out when they forget to charge the phone up the previous night. FUD #1. 2) clumsy or impossible to operate with a single hand. I can operate my phone with one hand. This is handy. By itself, not quite a deal killer, but #1 alone is and this one almost is. How do you know? You haven't used one before. FUD #2. 3) cannot protect cover. You can put a case on an ipod and still operate the wheel. You can't with the iPhone. It requires the touch of your finger. The only thing you can protect is the sides and back. Ditto with clamshell phones. Gotta flip the clamshell up to access the phone. First accessory out for this will be a clamshell cover. FUD #3. 4) heavily restricted software. With all the PDA/Smart Phones out there that you can download apps for, Apple's missing the boat playing the restrictive card. How do you know? You haven't used the product. You're going off of rumors. FUD #4. And there's more, too, but I'll stop here. Good. It was getting boring. For me, this isn't even a prototype. They need to go back to the drawing board and find a way to solve these key problems before iPhone will ever be a real player in the market. 2001 is calling. It wants the iPod rant back. |

Pioneer settlements[edit]
The pioneer settlements on the territory where modern Izhevsk now stands were founded by Udmurts in the 5th century. There were two fortified settlements situated on the banks of the Karlutka River. Later, this territory joined the Khanate of Kazan. In 1552, Russians conquered the Khanate and, in 1582, Ivan the Terrible conferred the lands by the Karlutka and Izh Rivers on Bagish Yaushev, a Tatar morza. The quit-rent had been imposed on the Udmurt population ever since. The Yaushevs owned the land till the times of Peter the Great.
Ironworks construction[edit]
On September 15, 1757, Count Pyotr Shuvalov, owner of seven factories in the Urals, bought land in the Kama Region and got permission from Empress Elizabeth to build three ironworks there. In those days, ironworks were powered with steam, and wood was the only heat energy source. For that reason it was decided to build one of the plants on the forest-rich land near the Izh River. It was planned that iron bands and anchors would be made of delivered cast iron here. Another ironworks was built on the Votka River.
In April 10, 1760, serfs from neighboring villages and artisans from other Shuvalov's plants began the dam construction under the direction of Alexey Moskvin, a mining engineer and a trustee of Shuvalov. This date is considered to be Izhevsk's foundation date.[2]
The construction was going at a slow pace. The serfs were discontent with being separated from their villages, with arduous duties and regular physical punishment. As a consequence, rebellions were often excited.
In 1762, Shuvalov died. The plants went to his son Andrey. In accordance with the ukase of Catherine the Great dated November 15, 1763, all Shuvalov's ironworks including one in Izhevsky Zavod lapsed to the Crown for debts. Since that time, it was under the authority of the Collegium of Mining, an institution in charge of the mining industry in Russia. The ironworks on the Izh and Votka Rivers were called Kama Plants.
In 1763, construction of the dam and ironworks was completed and the first bloomery iron was smelted. As a result of the dam construction, one of the biggest reservoirs in Europe was formed. Near the ironworks, the settlement was built. This settlement was named Izhevsky Zavod, meaning "the plant on the Izh" in Russian.
First time, the ironworks made palm-wide iron bands from three to six meters long. These bands were supplied to Moscow for the Kremlin renewal. The iron from Izhevsky Zavod was used for construction in St. Petersburg.
Pugachev's Rebellion[edit]
In October 1773, the news of the popular revolt against Catherine II on the Yaik and the manifestos of Yemelyan Pugachev reached Izhevsky Zavod. The Cossak passing himself off as Peter III proclaimed liberty for serfs and called to kill nobles and factory owners. This calls had the backing of the serfs and artisans. Thereby, Colonel Feodor Wenzel, the manager of Goroblagodat and Kama plants, and Aleksey Alymov, the manager of Izhevsky Zavod iromworks, were forced to escape to Kazan.
On January 1, 1774, a detachment of the Pugachev's rebel army came into the town. The rebels destroyed the ironworks, burned its office buildings, wrecked houses of the managers. The food from the demolished depot was distributed to the people, the ironworks money was sent to the staff of the rebel army in the environs of Ufa. The serfs were let go home, some of them joined the detachment. Thus, the iron production was stopped for a while.
In April 1774, Pugachev's army fought losing battles everywhere and was forced to leave Izhevsky Zavod. The managers went back to the town. They cowed serfs and artisans into submission and forced them to pledge allegiance to Catherine the Great. The list of workers who had joined the rebel army was made for future reprisal.
In spite of opposition from the forces of Wenzel and Alymov Brothers, Pugachev's army occupy the town again on June 27, 1774. The crowds hailed Yemelyan Pugachev. He dealt with complains of serfs and workers for two days. Forty-two persons, including Wenzel and Alymovs, were executed.
On June 29, Pugachev left Izhevsky Zavod and set out for Kazan. Many workmen of Izhevsky Zavod joined his detachments and fought selflessly in last battles of the Rebellion, which was mostly crushed by early September 1775. In spite of defeat of the rebel army and execution of its leader, separate bands of rebels continued resistance. New managers of the ironworks suppressed serfs and returned artisans by force. The bands were cracked down.
The ironworks was restored and began to function by the end of 1775. The former order was reseated. The forced workers did not hold an interest in productivity raising and fell into decay by the 19th century.
Arms factory foundation[edit]
In 1800, Emperor Paul I ordered to build an arm factory in Urals considering mounting threat from Napoleonic France. Siting was given to Andrew Deryabin, a mining engineer, chief of Goroblagodat, Perm, Kama and Bogoslov Plants. He saw several places in the Perm and Vyatka Governorates and drew a conclusion that the most suitable place for plant foundation was Izh Zavod. It occurred to him to turn the ironworks into the armory.
Alexander I approved of Deryabin's project and arms factory building began on June 10, 1807. Thus 1807 is considered the year of Izhevsk's second birth.
Dudin's plan[edit]
There was a shortage of manpower at the new factory. Staff vacancies were filled by serfs, workmen from Urals mining plants and recruits. Armorers were transferred from other arms factories and employed from Europe, mainly from Denmark and Sweden.
The population of the settlement grew quickly so that by the end of 1808 there were more than 6,000 inhabitants. Because of housing requirements, people had to build their houses after work, at night. Houses were made from wood found in forests near the factory. At the same time, workers built new barracks for the soldiers and housing for factory employees, officers and officials, the hospital, schools and other social facilities.
The settlement was built according to the master plan. Architect Feodor Dudin was an author of this plan and a director of all construction works. The principle of an urban grid was the basis of the new master plan. Wide and straight streets crossed side streets running perpendicular to them. Their accurate network formed small rectangular blocks.
On May 18, 1810, a major fire burned in Izhevsky Zavod. 174 houses, the warehouse, and two wooden churches were destroyed.
After the fire, implementation of Dudin's plan began. The houses were made of pinewood logs. As a rule, a house consisted of two izbas, joined together with an inner porch. Houses of the poor consisted of one izba. Armorers and officials erected two-storied and five-wall log houses. There were 15 streets in Izh by the 1820s.
In 1812, Izhevsky Zavod was divided into three administrative parts because of growth in population and territory.
In 1816, there were 1,710 houses, 8 factory stone buildings, a prison, a cemetery, a stone church and a school in the settlement. The population was 8,324.
In the 1820s, 1830s, and 1840s, a number of big stone building was erected. They were St. Alexander Nevsky's Cathedral (1820–23), the Arsenal (1823–25), Public Offices (1843–45) and the house of contractor Egor Novikov. They stand out by their size and architecture and improved Izh appearance.
The population of the settlement was 19,163 in 1850. Its territory was about 6200 square miles. 3499 buildings were wooden, 27 ones, including three churches, were made of stone. The settlement had 1066 wells.
Izhevsky Zavod after the Emancipation Reform of 1861[edit]
On February 19, 1861, Emperor of Russia Alexander II carried out the Emancipation Reform. On October 9, 1865, Berg-kollegia apprehending the prospective cost increase leased the Arms Factory to the Partnership of Industrialists.
In 1866, serfs of the Factory received their liberty according with 1861 Emancipation Manifesto and got self-government. Izhevsky Zavod was divided into two volosts: Nagornaya and Zarechnaya, or Zareka. Each volost had its board of administration and consisted of rural societies. Rural society was headed by a starosta, selected in the gathering. There were seven rural societies in Nagornaya Volost; Zarechnaya Volost consisted of four.
Administrations of volosts reported to the Board of Sarapul Zemstvo. They were led by volost starshinas, elected for three years. Volost administrations were in the charge of duty acting and tax payment by people. They issued passports, managed improvement of territory and other local affairs.
Administrative and police oversight was carried out by the factory administration. Besides the administration delivered documents of title to land and house. The ponds, pastures and hayfields were turned over to the armorers and artisans.
The abolition of serfdom aggravated property inequalities between the inhabitants of Izhevsky Zavod. Well-to-do sections of population were the factory management, skilled armorers and artisans, administrative professionals, officials, clergy and merchants. Such stratification had an influence on view of the settlement. The labor were driven out of Nagornaya Part and settled in boggy Zareka. At that time, Koltoma, another working-class locality, grew.
In the early 1870s, there were about twenty private stone buildings in Izhevsky Zavod. In Zarechnaya Part all houses were made of wood.
Civic life depended on government contractual works. In the years of war or army re-equipment, the quantity of orders grew. There was an increase in the workforce size and people's earnings. After the order was filled and wages were cut, most of the workmen left the Arms Factory. As a result, the settlement fell into decay to the next government contractual work.
Enterprises in Izhevsky Zavod[edit]
In 1872, the steel works was founded in Izhevsky Zavod. In 1884, the arms factory and the steel works passed to the state.
Private armories appeared in Izhevsky Zavod. In 1860, an armorer Ivan Fyodorovich Petrov began to make hunting rifles at small armory in Zareka. Later, he set up shops in Yekaterinburg, Omsk, Nizhny Novgorod, and in the Caucasus. He and his sons also sold gunpowder in Izhevsky Zavod. On of his sons, Vasily, later opened his own armory.
Adrian Nikandrovich Yevdokimov was a competitor of the Petrovs. He had the armory on Bazarnaya Street.
Nikolay Ilyich Berezin built his enterprise on Bazarnaya Street, too. He produce guns. Besides, Nikolay Berezin owned small iron foundry in the northeast suburbs.
Merchants Porsev and Kilin were the owners of two brick factories.
There were twelve private industrial enterprises in Izhevsky Zavod by 1914.
Izhevsky Zavod merchants[edit]
In the 1870s, trade blossomed in Izhevsky Zavod. Bodalev Brothers, Mokletsov, Ogloblin, Sveshnikov, and Sozykin were the most successful merchants. It was profitable to deal in spirits. There were three vodka distilleries, four wine warehouses, three wine cellars, and about fifty taverns in 1872. This year Ivan Bodalev opened his brewery on the bank of the reservoir.
Religious buildings[edit]
At the turn of the 19th century there were four temples in Izhevsky Zavod. In 1907, St. Michael's Cathedral was built.
The Russian Revolution and the Russian Civil War[edit]
On March 5, 1917, workers at the plant formed a worker's soviet, which included representatives of the workers, the army, and of other citizens. Two days later the factory administration resigned and was replaced with elected officials. By the middle of September of the same year, Bolsheviks took under control both the council and the council's influential newspaper.
On October 27, 1917, Soviet government was officially announced, with the council officially dissolved soon thereafter. The former leaders of the council were arrested in June 1918, contributing to the beginning of an uprising against Bolshevik rule. The struggle for control of the city continued until the arrival of the Red Army, which took Izhevsk on November 7. On April 13, 1919, the city was occupied by units of Admiral Kolchak's White Army, only to fall again, this time decisively, to another assault by the Red Army in June 8 of the same year.
The Soviet period[edit]
The Soviet period saw significant growth in the size and importance of Izhevsk. In 1921, the city became the administrative center of Votsk Autonomous Oblast, a precursor to the Udmurt Republic.
The first tram lines were opened in 1935, and the now emblematic City Circus was founded in 1943.
World War II had a profound effect on the city, with much of the industrial infrastructure evacuated from the western regions of the Soviet Union, being relocated to the city. Elements of the evacuated enterprises were used to create the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, which remains an important manufacturer of military components.
Military industry remained the core of the local economy after the war, leading to Izhvesk being designated a closed city, inaccessible to foreigners. The city's Izhmash factory began manufacturing the AK-47 automatic rifle in 1948, and continues to produce modern variants of the design to this day. The rifle's designer, Mikhail Kalashnikov lived in Izhevsk until his death in 2013. In 1966, Izhmash began manufacturing the Izh brand of automobiles.
In 1984, the city was renamed Ustinov; in honor of former minister of defense Dmitry Ustinov.[11] Three years later, in spite of vocal protests by a significant number of citizens, Izhevsk regained its historical name.[11]
Izhevsk weathered the turbulent post-Soviet years reasonably well, carried through by the continued demand for its military products. The city remains an important industrial and military center of the country, being referred to as the "Armory of Russia" (a title it shares with the city of Tula).[14]
Administrative and municipal status[edit]
Izhevsk is the capital of the republic.[1] Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as the city of republic significance of Izhevsk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the city of republic significance of Izhevsk is incorporated as Izhevsk Urban Okrug.[3]
Population: 629,455 (2012 est.);[6] 627,734 (2010 Census);[7] 632,140 (2002 Census);[15] 635,109 (1989 Census).[16]
Izhevsk is the most important economic center of the Udmurt Republic, with the majority of financial and industrial activity concentrated in the city. Military industry remains the backbone of the local economy, with a number of enterprises operating in the city. By far the most important of these is Izhmash, which produces small arms and assault rifles popular both in Russia and abroad. The plant also produces motorcycles and automobiles under IZH brandname.
In 2006, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez visited Izhevsk to tour the Izhmash manufacturing center where he announced his government's intention to purchase a large number of Izhevsk-produced rifles.
Izhevsk has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfb) with long cold winters and warm summers.

Life and culture[edit]
Izhevsk is the scientific and cultural center of the Udmurt Republic. Early on, the state took a leading role in childcare and education. 320 Public kindergartens/ preschools provide affordable childcare for 32,000 children. 100 Public schools provide free general education to over 100,000 Izhevsk students. A wide variety of technical colleges and two-year professional schools award associate degrees, most notably in medical assistance, performing arts and teaching.
The Ural department of the Russian Scientific Academy is represented in Izhevsk by several institutions, specializing in physics, applied mechanics and technical sciences, and economics, and the Institute of History, Language and Literature of Udmurtia does the same. Four out of five higher education institutes in the Udmurt Republic are located in Izhevsk: Udmurt State University, Izhevsk State Technical University, Agricultural Academy, and Medical Academy. Each of these educational institutions admits foreign students.
Udmurt State University celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2006. It is the oldest educational institution in the Udmurt Republic. Some 28,000 students are currently studying at the University, which offers 86 different majors. The university has thirteen departments and seven institutes. Out of 1,000 faculty members 130 hold Doctor of Science (Dr.Sc.) degrees, and 460 are Candidates of Sciences (Cand.Sc., equivalent to first year of Ph.D.). UdSU graduate school offers 11 attestation committees qualified to award Cand.Sc. and Dr.Sc. degrees in ecology, economics, law, psychology, pedagogics, ethnology, history, culture, linguistics of the Ural region, and Udmurt linguistics.
Izhevsk is a pilot city of the Council of Europe and European Commission Intercultural cities programme.
Izhevsk's most notable museums include the Kalashnikov Museum, the Arsenal Museum, the Galina Kulakova Museum, the National Fine Arts Gallery, the "Galeria" Arts Center, the Izhmash Museum, the National Kuzebai Gerd Museum, and the Gennadiy Krasilnikov Apartment-Museum. The Presidential Palace is also popular with tourists.
Izhevsk has a number of theaters, among the most prominent of which are:
- State Opera and Ballet Theater of the Udmurt Republic
- Korolenko State Russian Theater for Drama
- "Young Man" Alternative Theater
- State Puppet Theater of the Udmurt Republic
- National State Theater of the Udmurt Republic
- Academic Choir Chapel
- State Philharmonic of the Udmurt Republic
- Izhevsk Circus
The Izhvesk ice hockey team HC Izhstal plays in the Russian Major League. The association football club Zenit-Izhevsk plays in the Russian Second Division.
In the post-Soviet period Izhevsk became known as home to a vibrant art and music scene. Izhevsk is sometimes referred to as "the capital of Russian electronic music".[19][20][21] The most well-known Izhevsk electronic act was Стук Бамбука в XI Часов (Stuk Bambuka v XI Chasov), whose only album Лёгкое дело холод (1991) is now considered classic.[22] Some of the most famous institutions include the Italmas, an Udmurt folk theater and dance company, and the local circus. In 2001–2004, a beautiful new auditorium was built in the center of town to serve as a permanent home for the city circus. Today circus acts from Izhevsk and other Russian and European cities entertain visitors at the Izhevsk Circus.
Notable buildings and structures[edit]
- Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is a Neoclassical building from 1823 patterned after St. Andrew's Cathedral in Kronstadt (whose architect was Andreyan Zakharov)
- St. Michael's Cathedral was built by the Izhevsk arms works in the early 20th century, destroyed by the Bolsheviks and rebuilt to the original design in 2007
- Pesochnaya TV Mast (195-m tall guyed tubular steel mast built in 1962, which is equipped with 6 crossbars running in 2 levels from the mast structure to the guys[23])
Izhevsk Pond[edit]
Izhvesk City Pond is now one of the city's most popular places for recreation[citation needed]. Its area is over 22 km2, yet it was artificially constructed (in parts dug by hand) in the 1760s for industrial needs. Empress Elizabeth of Russia granted Count Peter Shuvalov official permission to create three factories in the Kama River region September 15, 1757.
Construction of the three-step industrial dam at the critical point where the two rivers (Izh and Yagul/Podborenka) join started both the pond and the city in April 1760.
The dam was reconstructed in 1809–1815 when Alexander Deryabin converted the original metalworking factory into the new arms producing facility. It was subsequently modernized again in 1983–1984 in order to extend the dam. Today a number of major Izhevsk industrial plants are still located along the pond.
In 1972, the Izhevsk Pond Embankment, a three mile-long walkway and a system of boulevards and squares, was extended along the pond. Some consider the resulting esplanade and pond embankment one of Izhevsk finest attractions. The "Friendship of Nations" Square, with its central monument celebrating 400 years of Udmurtia's union with Russia, is a focal point of the esplanade and a hip place for youth recreation. During the summer months excursion boats operate from Izhevsk to the village of Volozhka.

The Denver Broncos this Sunday will be the road team when they play the San Francisco 49ers, but both teams will be a long way from the City by the Bay.
London's Wembley Stadium will be the host venue when the Broncos take on old rival San Francisco as part of the NFL's 2010 International Series, but it will not be the Broncos' first foray into international competition.
Starting in 1987 when the Broncos played the Los Angeles Rams in London, Denver has played seven games as the NFL's international representatives (that first game was on August 9, 1987 at old Wembley Stadium before a crowd of 72,786).
The Broncos are one of just two franchises, with San Diego being the other, to have represented American football on all four continents where the NFL has hosted a game, making Pat Bowlen's franchise one of the league's most popular and well-traveled, high praise for the level at which the owner has watched his team perform in his 27 years of ownership.
This will be the second game for the Broncos in London, but the Broncos have also played two other games in Europe (one each in Barcelona and Berlin), two more in Asia (both in Tokyo), one in Australia (in Sydney) and one outside the United States but still in North America (Mexico City).
For the record, the games and results are as follows:
1999 a 20-17 win over San Diego in Sydney
1997 a 38-19 loss to Miami in Mexico City
1995 a 24-10 win over San Francisco in Tokyo
1994 a 25-22 loss to the Los Angeles Raiders in Barcelona
1992 a 31-27 loss to Miami in Berlin
1990 a 10-7 win over Seattle in Tokyo
1987 a 28-27 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in London
Miami is the only other NFL team to play in seven of the ten countries in which the NFL has hosted a game.
The Broncos and the 49ers have been two of the most frequent NFL teams in international games, with San Francisco leading the NFL, having played in nine international contests, while the Broncos this week move into a tie with Dallas and Pittsburgh for the second-most games outside American borders, with their eighth appearance promoting NFL football and the Mile High City.

Tackett said the bridge funding issue "has been taken to the top levels of state government," and that he is confident Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin will come up with a plan to finance the span. "I think he will make a decision in the near future," he said.
In other military matters, Col. John Ryan, vice commander of the 130th, told board members that his Air National Guard unit is hosting a training exercise in July involving aircraft from five states and airports and drop zones in five West Virginia counties.
Operation Sentry Storm will involve A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft, RC-26 surveillance and reconnaissance planes, and C-5 Galaxy and C-130 transport aircraft.
Airports in Mingo and Logan counties, in addition to Yeager and Beckley's Raleigh County Memorial Airport will be involved in the exercise, which will involve, among other things, low-altitude navigation and terrain-masking training.
Ryan said West Virginia is one of the few states in the nation with virtually all its airspace designated as open for low-altitude military flight training, making possible training runs as low as 300 feet above ground level in rural areas.
The state's abundance of challenging low-level flying terrain, the new National Guard drop zone at Fola, along the Clay-Nicholas border, and the development of an unpaved "assault" landing strip now underway at a reclaimed surface mine will all help "bring more people to West Virginia for training," Ryan said.
Also Thursday:
• R. Edison Hill was re-elected chairman of Yeager's governing board and Norman W. "Trip" Shumate III, president of Charleston Newspapers, was tapped to fill the vice president's post formerly held by James E. Foster, who recently moved to Florida. H.B. Wehrle III was re-elected secretary-treasurer and Priscilla Haden was elected assistant secretary-treasurer.
Other board members, according to the airport's website, include Karen Haddad, Gregory Tucker, David Hill, Charles Jones, Hoppy Shores and Harold Carter.
• Former Charleston Gazette design editor Bob Lynn presented the board with a series of sketches he made of the airport as it appeared while under construction in the late 1940s. At that time, Lynn was a student at Charleston's Lincoln Junior High School.

Reviews for Lemon Chicken(3)
Sort By :
This sounded so good, but it really needs some work. It is just not too flavorful. I doubled the lemon juice and zest, added more garlic, salt and pepper and still sort of bland. I added mushrooms which were good. My 6 year old liked it, but it definitely needs more seasoning.
The first time I've seen my 3 and 2 year old eat Lemon chicken (and I've tried to get them to eat it before). Awesome, much better than my BHG recipe, and seems so easy and healthier. Love it! I'm glad I tried it, and the kids liked it so much. No flavor was too overwhelming. yuuuum.
Would it be alright to freeze this dish? Am having surgery this week, so I want to be sure to have meals made ahead for my husband, so all he's gotta do is heat in microwave.
Thank you for your reply.

Peppermill Reno takes the resort concept to new heights.
Photo: PR (above and below)
Resort-casinos in Reno and Sparks see 2008 as a rebuilding year, and there might even be a few new ones in the coming years if all goes as planned. Leading the way is Peppermill Reno, which opened its 19-story Tuscany Tower late last year. The highlight of the resort's $400-million expansion is the addition of 600 European-style luxury rooms, all with high-def TVs, marble bathrooms, pillow-top king-sized beds, custom-made furniture, hand-painted art, and Wi-Fi access.
Closer to the ground, the Peppermill added 62,000 square feet of meeting space with the Tuscany Ballroom, the largest free-span convention space in Northern Nevada, bringing the property's total to 102,000 square feet. Some established groups are already taking notice. The 2008 Nevada Governor's Conference on Tourism will be held at the resort in December, and one of the area's largest and most profitable conventions, Safari Club International, was held in January at the resort and will return to the Peppermill in 2009 and 2010.
Other completed additions include Biscotti's restaurant, the Terrace Lounge, and two wedding chapels.
The Peppermill is far from finished. Projects scheduled for completion in 2008 include a new pool area, spa and salon, poolside restaurant, barbecue restaurant, and nightclub. The pool deck will include three pools, three Jacuzzis, cabanas, and Tuscan gardens, all scheduled for completion by summer. The three-story European spa and salon, set to open in September or October, will feature separate relaxation and rejuvenation spaces for men and women, an infinity pool—designed to give the visual effect of extending into the horizon—and a caldarium, a steam room modeled after those of ancient Rome.
The poolside nightclub and Caribbean steakhouse, Bimini, are scheduled to open in fall 2008. Menu highlights at the tropical eatery will include lobster fritters with Key lime butter, pistachio-crusted grouper with rock shrimp fricassee, and wood-grilled bone-in rib eye with Tortuga Rum peppercorn sauce.

Aug 30, 2011
In a week in which two powerful natural disasters rocked the East coast media capitals, the rebel victory in war-torn Libya led the news.
The end of Col. Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year grip on the North African country was the No. 1 story for the week of August 22-28, accounting for 25% of the newshole, according to the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. Unrest elsewhere in the Mideast, particularly Syria, filled another 2% of the newshole.
The extensive coverage of the takeover of Green Square in Tripoli by NATO-backed rebels came after a dramatic decrease in recent media attention to the conflict and the region. The week the U.S. and NATO forces entered the Libyan fighting (March 21-27), coverage of Mideast turmoil spiked to 47% and remained very high (38%) the following week. But it fell to just 5% in the month leading up to the deposing of Gaddafi.

One thing I love to do is flip though the New York Times bestseller list and book review section.
There were some decent titles listed this past week, but one that really caught my attention and not in a good way.
There's a book with a rather "unique" subject. And referring to this as unique wasn't exactly a good thing in this case. Back in 1813, Jane Austen wrote a masterpiece called "Pride and Prejudice." It's a beautiful story that has also reached its 100 year mark, making it legally public domain.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts.
Am I on the only one that remembers the Bee Gees song? The lights are now on and Americans are at home.
At the same place the American Revolution began over 200 years ago, a political revolution began this month. In Liberal Massachusetts, Americans who believe in capitalism and free enterprise have rebuffed the far-reaching arm of the federal government and the socialist agenda proposed by the current administration.
What is veteran affairs death pension? This benefit paid to eligible dependents of deceased wartime veterans.
You may be eligible if:
·the deceased veteran was discharged from service under other than dishonorable conditions, and
·he or she served 90 days or more of active duty with at least one day during a period of war*, and
·you are the surviving spouse or unmarried child of the deceased veteran, and
·your countable income is below a yearly income limit set by law.
Several months ago, I embarked on a historical journey when I began working on Campbell County: A look back at the beginning.
It was a journey that took me through four municipalities and more than 200 years of struggles and determination. It was a journey into the heritage and roots of Campbell County, a deep place where some never travel; it was a journey into the past.
But not only was it a journey into the past, but the present as well.
With my daughter's third birthday on the horizon and my son's eighth birthday not yet a distant memory I recently began to reflect on my own childhood.
Of the many things I thought of was the lessons my parents tried to teach me when I growing up. It has taken some time for me to learn these lessons, but I can now honestly say I'm glad that I listened.
As 2010 was ushered in so was an election year.
However, this is not just any election year.
It is a year where nearly every office in the county is on the ballot. And if the steady traffic outside the election commission holds up as it did on the first day candidates could pick up petitions, we may have more political hopefuls than voters.
With so many offices up for grabs Campbell County is ripe for, well just about anything.
As the snow fell faster last Thursday afternoon, I sarcastically thought 'oh great,' as I rushed around, trying to finish my day.
Now before you go thinking I'm anti-snow when it comes to the fluffy white stuff, let me let you in on a little back-story.
William Shakespeare once said, "To thine own self be true."
Now that the holidays are over, it was time for me to select a new ring tone for my cell phone. I don't know about you, but "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" isn't exactly what I'd call a beloved, year-round song--no matter how much I love it.
Tucked away recently in a cosy English pub, nursing a pint of Old Speckled Hen beer and savouring a lively conversation with a group of merry Englishmen, I was experiencing one of those blissful Old World moments that only we Americans can seem to appreciate—that is, until my partner-in-suds across the oaken table shattered my nostalgic interlude with a heartbreaking revelation- an average of five pubs close each day in England, she said, victims of modern technology.
An ancient proverb once said, "All life is choice. Certain things can be stopped only if you choose to allow it to happen."
Several years ago when I had hair, there were two wonderful women I always went to. To this day, I have a great deal of respect for both and couldn't ask for two better friends.
By the way, for those who wonder where my hair went to- why don't you ask that vindictive Mother Nature? It's all her fault. Anyway, getting back to my story.
'As a people, we no longer know the earth we come from, have no respect for it, (and) keep no responsibilities to it'—Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America
Number 1. First, I resolve to make the most of 2010; to live and to do it quite well, despite where I may be in life. If my life isn't perfect, at least no one can say I'm not living it to the best of my ability.
Number 2. I resolve to not get too worked up if I'm having a bad day. Instead of having bad days, I'm going to step back and realize things and people aren't worth my anger. It doesn't have to do with me; it all has to do with them.
Earlier this week, my last hall was finally decked, the final Christmas present was wrapped and waiting patiently under my tree full of gold and ribbon, and the last batch of Christmas cookies and tall glass of milk awaits Santa in a huge tin next to my fireplace.
With everything going on, the memories of previous Christmases take me back to a happier time in my childhood. I can't help but think how everything was beautiful and you felt like anything could happen. How awesome Dec. 25 always was.
Dear Santa,
Are you still at the North Pole? Are you floating on a piece of ice with all of the polar bears because of global warming? How is Mrs. Claus? Is she a good swimmer?
I've been a good boy all year. I live in Tennessee and I watch the news on TV all the time.
I've been told not to use the word Christmas any more because I might offend someone, so for this holiday, all I want is a copy of the U.S. Constitution. Is there still a U.S. Constitution, Santa?
Arlo Gurthrie sang this land is your land this land is my land.
That is a nice concept.
However, when it comes to changing the name of the land it really doesn't apply.
At Monday night's county commission workshop a request was made to place a resolution on next week's agenda to rename Demory Road. The new name would be the Grantsboro –Agee Parkway.
Three…two…one…and they're off!
The doors swing wide as a stampede of eager shoppers flood the stores. Bumped-up security, the hottest toys of the season that sell out within five minutes, and several sale stickers adorn the window let me know that it's officially Christmas.
As we end 2009, political junkies like me are already looking ahead at what may be in store for our country and state next year. This has been a historic year, with massive deficit spending by Congress, a president looking to nationalize our healthcare system, and the Conservative movement finding its voice again in the form of Tea Parties. With all that has happened in 2009, we begin to look and wander how 2010 will look this time next year. Some have said next year's elections may be the most important in our country. I whole-heartedly agree with that sentiment.
With the currently holiday season in full swing, homes are now adorned with lights inside and out, bows on trees and little ones making their lists for Santa Claus.
At this time of year everyone has a tradition they engage in whether it be shopping with friends, a quite lunch or a favorite charity they give to.
For me my tradition began when I was in first grade- 30 years ago.
My Christmas tradition is to hang a red Hallmark mouse on my mother's Christmas tree.

Class, Politics and the Individual: A Study of the Major Works of D. H. Lawrence

The Prussian Officer and Other Stories
Study of Thomas Hardy and Other Essays
Letters, Volume III
If there is one quality about D. H. Lawrence that wins the wholehearted approval of Anthony Burgess in his very readable tour through the life and works, it is Lawrence's Englishness. Lawrence was "the most English of writers," writes Burgess, "the sort of good Englishman I can never myself be": a sound animal-loving man full of blunt empirical sense squarely in "a tradition of British Non-conformist decency." If he does sometimes go on a bit about sex, "he knows in time when to leave off."
A second feature that gets good marks from Burgess is Lawrence's professional approach to his job. "He demand[ed] neither silence nor seclusion…. He never whined about distraction or writer's block; he got on with his trade…. He belongs to [an] Edwardian tradition of steady application to the craft," a tradition with which Burgess—author by now of nearly thirty novels, as well as books about Shakespeare, Hemingway, and Joyce—fully identifies himself. "It seem[s] to me, as it must have seemed to [Lawrence], reasonable to sit down at a table every morning and fulfill a minimal daily quota of a thousand words." The blame for bringing such honest professionalism into disrepute, Burgess suggests, should be laid at the door of Lawrence's foes, the snobs and poseurs of Bloomsbury.
As a technician of the novel, Burgess's Lawrence went about his writing blithely unaware of the pitfalls that contemporaries like Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, and Joyce, heirs of Flaubert, saw all about them in narrative point of view. "What was good enough for Thomas Hardy, and even George Eliot, was good enough for him." In his indifference to theory he was "very British." "[He] seems to bypass [art] and interpose nothing between the reader and the vision…. To read him is to feel oneself in contact with a personality that has broken through form and rhetoric and confronts one in a kind of nakedness."
Despite his down-to-earth approach and his tendency to dismiss Lawrence's more extravagant flights in favor of his shrewder, more self-aware side ("He is never without humor or irony"), there are depth and generosity enough in Burgess's response to Lawrence. But I wonder whether the no-nonsense treatment always serves Lawrence well. I will give one instance.
Burgess is at some pains to downplay any homoerotic element in Lawrence, particularly in his discussion of the nude wrestling scene in Women in Love and of Lawrence's proposal of a pact of blood-brotherhood to Middleton Murry. He rejects any sexual interpretation of the latter episode, suggesting instead that "an innate power hunger…had to be exercised over some chosen man, since it did not work with the chosen woman [i.e., Frieda was too tough], and this was implausibly presented as a mere longing for fraternal love."
But it seems to me that we would be taking Lawrence more seriously if we viewed these and other explorations of the potential of male friendship in the light of …

Uranium Legacy on Sioux Nation with Charmaine White Face
by HUmanity Uniting in Education
Tags: Uranium Legacy Uranium Impacts Uranium Cleanup Uranium Moratorium Uranium Legislation
The Great Sioux Nation is made up of seven sub nations and called itself, Oceti Sakowin. Yet, because of deceit, greed, and dishonesty by the United States, six of the sub nations almost totally disappeared by the beginning of the 20th Century.
In 1972, President Richard Nixon signed an Executive Order in secret declaring this four-state region of the country to be a "National Sacrifice Area" for the mining and production of uranium and nuclear energy.
In southwestern South Dakota, the southern Black Hills contain many abandoned uranium mines. Nuclear radiation near Edgemont, SD, polluted the underground water of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation according to a study completed in the 1980s by Women of All Red Nations.
Our speical guest today is Charmaine White Face, Zumila Wobaga, (66) is Oglala Tituwan Oceti Sakowin (Oglala Lakota from the Great Sioux Nation). She is a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. As the Spokesperson for the Sioux Nation Treaty Council, established in 1894, she authored a book called Indigenous Nations Rights in the Balance, An Analysis of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples after attending the debates for a number of years at the United Nations.
In 2002, she founded and continues to coordinate Defenders of the Black Hills, a non-profit environmental organization which received the international Nuclear Free Future Award for Resistance in 2007, in Salzburg, Austria. Ms. White Face is a Physical Scientist and Biologist. She taught at the college level prior to becoming a writer. She has been trying to increase awareness of the radioactive pollution in the Northern Great Plains since 2003.

Uranerz Energy: Strategic Uranium Position In Wyoming
by goldstocktrades in Business
Tags: uranium mining Uranerz Energy URZ Nuclear Power United States Powder River Basin Wyoming
The U.S. is the largest consumer of uranium of over 55 million pounds annually. Over 104 nuclear reactors are operating. Currently domestic mining and production of uranium in the U.S. is around 4 million pounds. That means the U.S. relies on imports for more than 92% of its uranium consumption to keep these plants running. This is a far cry from energy independence and makes savvy investors realize that in today's world of rising geopolitical turbulence, the importance of safe and secure uranium supplies. In addition, a large part of the supply of uranium comes from the nuclear missiles from Russia. This agreement is about to expire at the end of 2013. This is about 24 million pounds annually which will no longer be supplied by the Russians. Uranium investors are anticipating a stronger market for uranium into the second half of 2013 as the Russia-US agreement expires and as the Japanese turn the nuclear reactors that they shut down in 2011 due to the Fukuskima disaster, back on this summer. Uranerz is planning to start producing uranium at the end of this year. The company has contracts with major U.S. utilities to sell uranium at much higher uranium prices. This gives the company some certainty that there will be some positive cash flow as they move into production. Uranerz has an enviable and strategic position in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming which hosts the largest producing uranium mine in the U.S.A. Cameco, the largest publicly trade uranium miners, is expanding production to the north and south of Uranerz and already has a processing agreement with Cameco to process the uranium.

European Uranium: Advancing Towards Feasibility
by goldstocktrades in Business
Tags: Uranium Miners nuclear power european power european uranium energy investing
European Uranium (EUU.V or EUUNF) stands out in the junior uranium space as it owns the high grade uranium Kuriskova deposit in Slovakia that is at the advanced Feasibility stage. Europe only has one uranium mine currently in production. This project could be the next major uranium producer for the European Continent and is expected to come into production at the end of this decade. It is one of the highest grade advanced projects outside of the Athabasca Basin. The company published a pre-feasibility study that demonstrated the Kuriskova Project could be one of the lowest cost uranium producers. Unlike so many other juniors, European Uranium's project is at the advanced Bankable Feasibility stage. The deposit is located in Slovakia where over 60% of its power comes from nuclear, yet the country has no domestic supply. This project could fill Slovakia's increasing uranium demand and even export a surplus to neighboring countries. Europe is the largest per capita user of nuclear power. The company made a major milestone in 2012 by signing a memorandum of understanding with the Slovakian Government. This agreement recognizes Kuriskova as a strategic asset that could provide the country with its own domestic uranium supply. European Uranium is advancing toward publishing a bankable feasibility study on Kuriskova. The company is continuing to build local and federal support with the Slovakian Government. . Disclosure: Jeb Handwerger is a shareholder of European Uranium and they are a sponsor on my website.

How Important Is Nutrition After Trauma?

Tags: Compassion in farming Health living environments for animals Health benefits to eating free range chickens Is eating free range chicken healthier Are there hormones in meat
Did you know that when you experience trauma, there is more than an emotional change; your body goes through significant changes, as well. Did you know that what you put into your body makes a big difference as to how you heal, both physically and emotionally? Because trauma has a direct impact on our systems, it is highly important that we feed our bodies the proper nutrition in order to support our healing path. Today's guest is with us to discuss how to optimize nutrition in your diet after trauma. USA Director of Compassion In World Farming, Leah Garces, joins Michele to discuss the negative effects of factory farming; how nutritional value is depleted when animals are raised without the appropriate feeds and area to live. Leah will discuss how eating meat that has been grown in compassionate environments reduces the volume of food necessary to meet daily intake as well as the positive results on our bodies. Michele's shows combine scientific research, cutting-edge guests and personal stories that highlight the challenges and successes of deliberately deciding to change the direction of your life.
