Hear TEMPLE NORTHUP's interview on KUHF Houston Matters (at approximately 44:30 – 48:40) from Friday, May 2:
TEMPLE NORTHUP received a CLASS Outreach Grant to continue working on a documentary film focusing on a group of individuals trying to combat the obesity problem within Houston. The grant will enable Dr. Northup to employ a student assistant during the fall semester to help film and then edit the project.
TEMPLE NORTHUP was accepted into the 2014 Dow Jones Multimedia Training Academy held at the University of Texas, El Paso. During this week-long intensive boot camp, Dr. Northup will be trained by top multimedia professionals in the latest in digital storytelling techniques.
ARTHUR D. SANTANA was awarded at $3,000 CLASS Research Outreach Grant for his continuing research on user-generated content (UGC). The summer research project will look at the differences in how people respond to anonymous vs. non-anonymous comments (including the extent to which either impacts credibility) in commenting forums of online newspapers.
Drs. TEMPLE NORTHUP, ARTHUR SANTANA and JENNIFER VARDEMAN-WINTER were awarded a $38,000 Teaching Innovation grant from the University to develop a series of courses in support of their proposal: "iPad Curriculum: Equipping Students for Success in the New Media Environment." The grant will enable the purchase of iPads for student use that will be integrated into new journalism, media production, and public relations courses. The first class, iPad Journalism, is scheduled to be offered in the spring of 2015, pending committee/faculty approval.

High school football teams start practice in about a month, but no worries for football fans, the Shrine Bowl is next week.
Bishop Ryan coach Brad Borkhuis will head up the 11-man West team next Saturday. The guys head out to Grand Forks for a week of practice this Sunday and while winning the game is the goal, there are more important factors at play. Shriners International helps kids out who are affected by different sicknesses and physical deficiencies. For Coach, he's happy to be a small part of what they stand for.
"When they asked me it was an honor not just to coach but to represent an organization like the Shriners. They've done so many good things and I got a chance at Bemidji State when I was playing there that they actually have a Shrine game there that they sponsor and it's a very important program and a very great group that we support," says Borkhuis.
Area kids crowd the roster on the West team. Coach Borkhuis will have two of his kids on the squad, Chase Fugere and Isaac Tafelmeyer. There's also two Magi on the roster, Bryan Doerr and Tanner Gust. Stanley-Powers Lake and Rugby have two representatives as well. There will be two games next Saturday from Grand Forks. The 11 man game will be at 4 p.m. and the 9 man game will follow at 7 p.m.

hey guys,
i just found a small case made to store flash drives and memory cards at the dollar store.
then i realized it would be great to store my small knives in.
it's fairly sturdy and has enough room to hold six little knives and a pocket that i keep my angle guide in.
the remaining pocket is reserved for my ladybug hawkbill that i ordered yesterday. it should arrive in a few days.
for the money, i think it's an acceptable way to keep my small knives from bouncing around in the larger pistol case that i keep my other spydeco's stored in.
thanks for looking!

There's no doubt about it – it's summer. And in case you weren't sure, Mother Nature reminded us with a recent heat wave with temperatures in New York City reaching the high 90s. But what can we expect in the upcoming months as temperatures continue to rise? Each summer brings warnings of heat stroke and other heat-related conditions, such as dehydration and exhaustion, and Dr. John Marshall, Chair of Emergency Medicine, gives you the info you need to stay safe this summer.
Stay safe in the summer heat with these helpful tips from
Dr. John Marshall, Chair of Emergency Medicine.
"A heat wave is always dangerous and it's particularly dangerous for three groups of people," explains Dr. Marshall. Dr. Marshall indicates that children, elderly and obese people are at a higher risk of developing heat illnesses. "However, even folks who are otherwise healthy can succumb to heat illness, if he or she ignores the warning signs." It can take several hours or days to develop heat stroke so it is important to watch for any signs and symptoms. "It's important to note that the symptoms of heat-related conditions can vary depending on the severity of the illness," emphasizes Dr. Marshall.
Early Symptoms of Heat Illness Include:

5. This song about the inevitable, annual questions from prying relatives on each and every stage of the life cycle
6. This Facebook app.
7. Feeling crazily incomplete without at least one of these on the lawn or patio or balcony.

[I won't] eat the peach
I decided I needed more accountability and a place to rant about the trials and tribulations of being a fat person in an XXS world who loses weight but never quite enough weight to be "normal."
By the way? The biggest fear of my entire existence is to be considered normal. Most days I don't have to worry about it.
But, seriously, I need to get the weight off for health reasons. My mother had her first heart attack at 42. I'm thirty seven.
I spent the latter part of my twenties and most of my thirties yo-yoing on low carb. I would go low carb and I would feel: Physically Fantastic! and mentally anxious, on edge, revved up and manic with an inability sit still or to sleep more that three hours a night. This "up" feeling would crash in about three months into a numbing depression that made it difficult to find a reason to drag myself out of bed in the morning and a lingering conviction that it would have been better if I had never been born.
I usually lasted about four and a half months on the low carb diet. The rest of the year I was on a fast food diet. And then I gave up.
I decided that I simply could not maintain a low carb diet, and I looked for other ways to get healthy. I tried WW, but got mad after three meetings when the group leader informed an elderly member ( who did not look like she really needed to lose weight, by the way) that she should not be taking fish oil because "after all, fish oil is pure fat!"
So after I stood up, told the leader she was an idiot and told the old lady that she should give more credence to her cardiologist and less to an elitist hausfrau moonlighting as a Mary Kay rep, ( I don't think I said hausfrau. But I wish that I had) and stormed out of the meeting, I decided that WW was not for me.
Then I tried the balanced diet, low calorie approach. With this, I had a little more luck. And I lost weight. Ten whole pounds. In eight whole months. And I kept my calories between 1400 and 1600 every. single. day.
But even though the weight wasn't coming off, other, magical things were happening with my body. My blood pressure was steadily rising. My energy levels were dropping. I developed debilitating joint pain that would keep me in bed some mornings for nearly forty minuets until my knee and hip unlocked enough to let me hobble into the kitchen and take some pain medication. I lost ability to focus, and developed neurological symptoms that made me think that I might have MS. And then I was misdiagnosed with MS because of optic neuritis in my left eye. I believed the diagnosis without doubt. After all, something had to be wrong, right?
And it was. Very,very wrong. Its a condition called "wheat consumption".
After an MRI proved that I didn't have MS, I decided that, no mater what, I had to go low carb and make it stick. I knew that physically I was at my best when I went low carb.
I started slowly: I didn't count carbs at first. I just gave up all grains and potatoes. A crazy thing happened. All of those previous symptoms? The elevated blood pressure, the lack of balance and concentration, the fatigue, the joint pain, and did I mention that in the end I was losing my hair? They were all gone within three weeks. Something else happened as well. I realized that the unbearable mental symptoms I experienced before didn't happen. I never got anxiety at all. In fact, my mood was more positive, and I was calmer than I had been in years.
I dropped twenty pounds pretty quickly: I think it was less that two months. Then things slowed down. I decided to give Atkins induction a try, so I read Atkins, something I had never done before (I went primarily with the Eades Protein Power plan.) After that, I had a sudden insatiable appetite for any and all low carb literature. I red Taubes, Davis, the Art and Science of Low carb people (I always misspell their names.) I read everything I could come up with and retained very little. But, you know, that's just me.
I did come away with the idea that wheat was bad. Very bad. In fact, wheat was probably the culprit in most of my medical misadventures. I don't know for sure, because to be tested for Celiac disease you have to ingest wheat. I'd rather be shot, strung up by my nipples and trampled by a herd of bison than have wheat come anywhere near me. Just for God's sakes make sure the bison are grass fed.
I learned a lot of other cool stuff too, but everyone here has pretty much read the same books so I won't bore you with it. Suffice to say I know enough to get myself in trouble.
As far as eating and weight loss goes: I tend to let carb creep get me. I've done it before, and I've been doing it recently. I need more accountability, like I said before. I need to be posting the foods I eat and paying attention every day. I was down to 202 from 242. I crept back up to 208, but I'm back down to just under 204. I've discovered that I can't eat very many carbs at all and stay in ketosis. I count total carbs, including fiber and erythritol, and I've got to stay under 25 to stay in ketosis. So that's what I'm doing.
So I'm going to post my weight every day and, tell you what i've done different, and in general rant. I can't help it. Its my nature.
So, weight as of 8/22/13: (drumroll) 204. Lets see what it is in the morning.
Food today:
Breakfast: two cups coffee with one tablespoon CO and one teaspoon Truvia
Lunch: four baby back ribs
Dinner: Two hamburger patties with about four tablespoons mustard
Desert: one egg cream with two eggs, three tablespoons hwc, and two teaspoons erythritol
Total carbs came up to 23.7
Peace, all, and happy low carbing. Which, three times now, has been auto corrected to "happy low carving." It might also be accurate, but I still think that autocorrect is the most annoying function ever devised. Ever.

So...today was good. Im still not craving anything. Its still strange, even after about a year: I sometimes want bread, or more often french fries, but I'm not craving it. I have no idea, other than avoiding grains 100%, what I'm doing to cause this but I hope it continues.
Yesterday and today I had some low carb flu symptoms. I haven't had them this whole time. Maybe I'm finally entering ketosis? I can't tell-I don't have bad breath. I had it for about a month into induction, but it went away. That may be because I started eating more carbs than I should. At any rate, my appetite is down and it hasn't been before, so I think I'm doing something right.
My weight today was still 204. At least I didn't gain anything. I need to get back in the gym, but I'm going to give myself two weeks to adjust to zero carb. I think I can call it that: I'm not eating any vegetables at all and I don't think i'll be able too. I could cut out the sweetener and put veggies in, and I might at some point. I just can't give everything up at once, and I loved cheese.
I will say that La Croix has been my salvation while trying to break my diet soda addiction. This stuff is amazing. I had a glass of coconut with one half oz vodka before I sat down to write this. I usually don't drink-it's been a couple of months, I think. But I think one half oz on friday won't kill me, so I'll try it and see if it works.
So, my food today:
Breakfast: Two cups coffee and one tbs Co, one tsp Truvia
Lunch: three boiled eggs
Snack: Coconut La Croix with one half oz vodka
Supper will be: Two hamburgers with mustard, and one hot dog if I'm still hungry. I found the most amazing Applegate uncured hot dogs without any fillers, or dextrose (which I think is also considered a filler, so I'm being redundant) or grain products, or sugar. It's just meat, spices, and dehydrated onion. Ingredients list zero carbs, but I'm counting it as .5 just in case.
Desert: Two egg egg cream with three tbs hwc yada yada just read the first post.
Total carbs: 24.1 without the hot dog, 24.6 with it.
Good night and good luck.

First of all, I actually laughed out loud reading your intro post. So thanks for that!
Second, best of luck to you in your journey. You sound like you have a fantastic attitude and a plan. ALWAYS a great place to start!
Third--and now I'm just being a nosy parker! --is there any reason that you are going zero carb? The reason that I'm asking is that your story sounds very similar to mine and I ended up with some additional health issues from zero carb. They were probably already there but they were certainly kicked into high gear with zero carb. I've managed to get myself into a really great place now but I had to add back in some carbs to do it. Not saying it would necessarily happen for you because we are ALL different..just wondering--and quite clearly looking for something to do this SLOOOOW Friday afternoon!
Have a great weekend Jackie!

Hello again all. First let me reply to Shelbyla: I'm going zero carb because I have to go extremely low carb to lose weight steadily. I was so close I figured I might as well. I could trade the Truvia out for vegetables, and nutrition wise I probably should. But I would really miss sweetener, and I don't use that much of it. Also, I am more tempted to over eat vegetables than I am Truvia. Odd, but true.
This is not something I will do forever: maybe. I don't know. I have the appetite suppression that I remember from previous bouts with low carb, I feel a lack of energy that means I'm "adjusting" to a lower carb diet: again, I didn't have that before. I might need to stay this low for a while if I want to continue weight loss. I love vegetables, but when I'm keeping my carbs this low I don't miss them. I'm not hungry until the food is in front of me. Then, it's delicious. I kind of like this.
I will make sure that I supplement, though. I'm taking GNC Women's active without iron, a quadruple dose of fish oil, and a double dose of Ester-C.
And on a brighter note: 203 this morning! Down one whole pound. I don't suppose the vodka had anything to do with it.....I'm tempted to rinse and repeat.
Nah, I'll save the alcohol for Fridays. It gives me something to look forward to. I actually don't have anything to rant about today. I guess I'll just leave you with a menu and a good night.
Breakfast: two cups coffee, one tbs CO, one tsp trivia
Lunch: two Applegate hot dogs with two tbs Duke's mayo and one tbs cheap mustard
Supper: Three or four buffalo chicken thighs, depending on how hungry I am. I did have the hot dog last night so...most likely four.
Desert: two egg egg cream w three tbs hwc and two tsp trivia.

So, I may as well confess already: I ate an entire French silk pie this afternoon. And it was good.
Seriously, though, I overdid it. The only thing that really worries me is the amount of sweetener in it since I'm not counting calories. And the fact that it made me hungry: after eating 1000 calories of pure fat, I wanted to eat more.
My typical reaction (or overreaction, as it were) would be to say A: I have to give up French silk pie or most likely B: I have to give up all sweeteners, which would also take care of A. Bakers chocolate, butter, and raw eggs without sweetener? Can you imagine? <shudder>
I think I am going to take a more moderate approach this time. The next time I make French silk pie (which will be next weekend at the earliest) I will put one tbs of Truvia in it instead of two. That way, it will be less sweet, I will want to eat less of it or, if I do eat all of it again, it will have eaten nearly half the carbs. Btw if I do it again French silk pie is off the menu. Seriously.
I have noticed, though, when I go over a certain amount of sweetener (or sweetness because it's not always related to quantity of sweetener) it tends to make me hungry. Maybe there is some truth to all of this "sweet tastes cause an insulin response" thing.
I'm not ready to give up sweeteners yet. But I am ready to be more cautious with them.
And I'm also ready to get back in the gym. I think I'll start resistance tomorrow: The headachy low energy feeling has gone away, so I should be all right. I'll start out slow, just for 15 minuets, and see how it goes.
And, I was still at 203 today. Hopefully it won't go up because of my French pie incident.
Time to face the music:
Breakfast: Two cups coffee with one tbs CO and one tsp Truvia. I was still hungry about 830, so I ate a bowl of chicken and egg salad. (just leftover chicken thigh meat and boiled eggs with mayo.) And spices. I don't do anything without spices.
Lunch: second bowl of chicken salad.
Afternoon <ahem> snack: an entire French silk pie.
Dinner: I'm still hungry, so I'm going to go zero carb, but eat: Hamburger patties to be exact, with mayonnaise. The combo of protein and fat should get me satiated.

I know I'm early today-I haven't even weighed myself yet, but reality has set in with the cold light of morning. My hands are slightly puffy, and my belly fat less, well, loose would be the polite term. If there is such a thing as polite terms when one is talking belly fat: That seems to be one of those subjects that just screams for bawdy.
So, my solution: I will give up sweeteners during the week. I tend to eat more on the weekend. I've managed to cut that down a bit, but I may as well plan for it. I'll have my treats then, but I'll cut way down on the amount of sweeteners I put in them. This should be doable because I will no longer be used to the sweet taste. And, it will save me money. Truvia isn't cheap. Where's the happy dance emoticon? oh well.
I've also been reading these previous posts, and its giving me the clarity I wanted. This might bore all of you because it's blatently obvious and repetitive , but bear with me: I tend to be one of those people who needs to be hit in the head with something over and over until I get it.
My main problem is carb creep.
It isn't that I eat more on days when I'm hungrier-It's that the "more" has more carbs. I planned to eat no more than a tablespoon of sweetener a day, and then yesterday ate two tablespoons plus one teaspoon. My body registered that.
It also registered the massive amount of fat and calories, but my point is that I would never have eaten that much if the food had not been sweet. The pie itself had twenty eight carbs, so I'm thinking my total yesterday was pushed up to almost fourty carbs. Thats twice as much as i should have if I'm trying to lose weight.
I think eventually I will have to give up sweetener. I'm just trying to taper down with it.
I'm also trying to get the right mix of food to keep me satiated. I'm not a math whizz to figure out ratios, but it seems like if I have a mix of fat and protein I tend to get satiated. It's probably something like 65-75% fat, and at least 15 grams protein. I know I'm mixing ratios and units-like I said, I'm not a math person.
Another thing that works, and I think I got this advice from Key Tones, is to drink fat shots-something about the pure fat suspended in liquid is satiating for hours at a time. That's why I drink CO in my coffee every morning. I'm going to up the dose, though, because I've been getting pretty hungry before lunch, and because of my work schedule breakfast has to hold me for six and a half hours on weekdays.
So, now that I've bored you to tears, here are my conclusions:
My main problem is carb creep
Sweeteners are the main culprit that causes it
I will limit sweeteners to the weekends until I get up the courage to get rid of them all together
I will try to eat the right mix of fat and protein to keep me satiated
I'll go ahead and post a menu for today, and give you an update when I weigh myself this afternoon. <groan>
Breakfast: Two cups of coffee with what was to be two tablespoons CO but ended up being all I could scrape out of a nearly empty jar: About one and one half tbs
Lunch: four scotch eggs
Supper: Three hot dogs with mayo and mustard
Desert: Two eggs scrambled in either butter or refined CO-I might try to give up dairy too. I'm thinking about it. I'll probably add a tbs of bacon bits, too.
Total carbs: 12.1
Wish me luck.

So I weighed myself, and I had lost a lb. My new weight is 202....back to forty pounds lost. Whoot!! Maybe I should make another pie....nope, I'll stick to the no sweetener during the week plan.
Slight menu change:
Lunch became a hot dog fried in refined CO with two scrambled eggs.
Supper will now be: One hamburger patty
Desert: Two eggs scrambled in refined CO and a hot dog....It was good.
Total carbs for new menu: 8.4

I'm chillin' tonight. I weighed in this morning still at 202. I think i'm gonna stop weighing everyday and just go with this. My pants (which are admittedly tight) are a smidgen looser, I can almost see my collar bones defined (thats been quite a while) and my face looks slimmer. The vascularity has increased in my hands, arms and feet. I think my body likes zero carb.
Me? I wish I could have some cauliflower mac and cheese to go with my salmon croquettes tonight. But, that's just life. I'll get used to it.
I'm having a little vodka in my La Croix tonight. That might account for my laid back attitude. I just put the croquettes batter in the fridge to chill for a half hour. I couldn't resist tasting it: Delicious. Life seems brighter since I've let go of my fear of raw eggs.
I was freaking a little this morning (I freak a lot-you will learn this over time, grasshopper) for some reason because I was wondering if pork rinds counted as zero carb. Even though they're nothing but fried pork skin. Duh. And the wonderfull omega 3 rich fish was just calling to me. I got a good price for sockeye, even canned, at my local Wal-Mart. Which is good. Because I is broke.
But, I'm finding that this way of eating is less expensive-I think I can stretch fifty bucks into three weeks worth of food. I'd better, because that's all the money I've got. Chicken thighs, hot dogs, eggs, canned salmon...yeah. Maybe. But I'll overdraw my account if I have to. Nothing will keep me from eating low carb. Of course, I have that luxury because I don't have kids. I have a cat, but she just eats cheap tuna anyway.
I am so rambling tonight. I'm wondering about truth, justice, the truth in justice....or if it's all just a pack of lies. I mean, how can an entire nation be convinced that eating food that makes them sick...I mean, for most people, immediately and obviously sick- is good for them? And will there never be an accounting for the way that western medicine has prostrated itself before the food and pharmaceutical industries, and turned its back on science and the American people?
It's funny how I don't hear much about that. Any other con on this scale, and even if it was just in isolated iconoclastic circles there would be outrage, and a cry for justice.
There is nothing. I hear nothing. Just a faded hope that "someday, someday popular opinion will shift. Someday, there will be change, and the the institutions that are supposed to protect public health will stop willfully condemning people to misery, preventable illness and death."
I mean, come on people. If we learn nothing from American history we should learn that nothing changes unless we change it. Instead we hide the way we eat because we are afraid that people will judge us, lie when we are successful in losing weight, misdirect people when they ask how we lost weight....really? Why are we hiding? We have nothing to be ashamed of. In spite of all the lies and misdirection by the powers that be we have found the way to improve our health through nutrition. And if we've lost ten pounds, or a hundred pounds, and we keep them off for years at a time we are a success. Our experience is victory.
Low carb could seriously stand to come out of the closet. S'all I'm saying.
So, menu for today:
Breakfast: Coffee with two tablespoons of CO
Lunch: One Applegate hot dog and two boiled eggs
Snack : One oz vodka and coconut La Croix
Dinner: Salmon croquettes.
Peace, all. And find a way, every day, to speak out loud about what is important to you. Life is very short.

So...Its been a couple of days since I last posted. And....well, I may as well admit the broccoli binge. I ate an entire 14 oz bag of pictsweet frozen broccoli florets. With butter. And the next day I was up by three pounds.
Now, here is what I don't get about my body. I can eat an entire french silk pie. That's over 1000 calories. I don't gain at all, and in fact I lose. But I eat...hold on, I'm adding it up....320 calories of broccoli with butter and I gain three pounds. Mmmmkay? what the....
I know, its the carbs. There were sixteen carbs in the broccoli. There were 28 in the pie counting erythritol, but I'm beginning to think those might not count as much as veggie carbs.
It's been an interesting two days. Seriously, I've learned a lot about my body. I still think I did the right thing by limiting sweeteners, if only for behavioral reasons. And, I admit, I really miss veggies. I'm trying to find a way to work them back in...maybe a little bit of lettuce?
I'm whimpering here.
Anyway, I'm back down to 202 as of this afternoon. I really need to get back in the gym.
I'm going to re-evaluate-I might give myself a veggie treat (as opposed to a sweet treat) once a week, or I might try to do something like three romaine leaves a day. That would still be under 15 total carbs, which is my gain point. Hell, I might do both. I really miss vegetables. Not so much tonight, since I have succulent lamb shoulder chops (half off at Publix, hooyah) that just came out of the oven, but still.
I'll evaluate. And decide. Right now, I'm sill planning on being below two hundred pounds by the middle of next week. And that chop looks pretty good...
so to wrap up:
B: three eggs scrambled in CO. and two cups coffee with one teaspoon VCO
Lunch: Two hot dogs and two boiled eggs
Supper: one lamb chop
After supper: If I get hungry-bacon.
Carbs: 9 g

SARANAC LAKE — Roedel Companies has outlined the first few details of historic preservation that it has planned for the Hotel Saranac.
The company purchased the iconic downtown building in December and has researched the early architectural elements that date to its first design.
Corporate partner Fred Roedel III traces his family's roots in Saranac Lake back to his great-grandfather, who worked for hotelier Paul Smith.
He also is tracing the hotel's roots, working from original plans from construction 80 years ago.
"... the goal is to retain as much of the original architecture, flooring and fabric as possible," Roedel said in a news release.
"We are also focusing our efforts on preserving the layout and character of the building."
Toward that goal, Roedel and his company, ROK Builders, hired an historical consultant, Kimberly Alvarez of Landmark Consulting in Albany, to prioritize elements of the restoration.
Storefront facades, an arcade, the terrace, second-floor lobby and the dining room are key points, according to historic details that Roedel shared.
The entryway to the building once was an arcade reserved for shops and commercial interests.
The plan, Roedel said, is to restore the limestone walls and glass on the first-floor level.
"The project will emphasize and reinstate the urban, commercial function that historically contributed to the vitality of the village and Main Street," he said.
An arcade in the original building connected the front doors on Main Street to Academy Street. The passageway, with glassed-in storefronts, was closed off when the building was retrofit in 1977 for use by Paul Smith's College.
"Roedel Companies is exploring ways to bring back the original arcade," Roedel said.
"The renovation will center on the arcade's original architectural features that remain intact, including marble terrazzo floors, bronze and plate-glass storefronts and decorative plaster walls and ceilings."

Carrot and Orange Gazpacho
30 comments:
Sounds too easy. I'll have to have a goReplyDelete
I'm a bit unsure about cold soups. The thought of them just doesn't sit right with me, but I will try one some day.ReplyDelete
I'm a big fan of carrot juice, so I know this will be awesome, will have to try it, lovely seasonal spring soup.ReplyDelete
Gosh, this sounds REALLY good!! I love gazpacho...and your sweet carrot version is delightful :)ReplyDelete
How unusual :) Looks very yummy. Right up my foodie alley!ReplyDelete
Sounds simple and very effective - a must try :DReplyDelete

Sounds as if it would be a great soup to serve at the start of a summer dinner-party. Have you ever tried making soup with just the "water" from tomatoes? I mean without using any of the red flesh? It looks weak and insipid but it has the most amazingly intense flavour. Try it!ReplyDelete
Great idea! It will be an amazing starter for hot summer day & truly love the sweet taste of carrots! Above all that a very healthy soup! Have a lovely weekend dear! :)ReplyDelete
I had no idea that you could juice carrots in a blender, by blending them and squeezing the juice out -- I'll have to try it. The spring carrots I get are thin in flavor and don't cook well -- I find it better to eat them raw until they attain some size.ReplyDelete
It's been so hot lately that I find this soup idea a prefect one for today! I think my kids will love it too :)ReplyDelete
i've never made a cold soup, but this post has me so intrigued i need to try it! great post!ReplyDelete
Mmm.. this is mouthwatering. Great idea very inventive!ReplyDelete
This looks like a really satisfying dish - tasty, healthy and vibrant colours. Really creative, nice one!ReplyDelete
Great idea, it's kind of like fresh carrot juice, but thicker and with all the seasoning and flavouring of a soup. And those fresh carrots are soooo sweet. Nice post.ReplyDelete
This is JUST what I need to get my second chakra in gear! :D That color is STUNNING!ReplyDelete
Carrots are those I will always pick up for the week and already for cooking. Surely I good try for me because that look so tempting.ReplyDelete
Amazing colors, and a cool gazpacho is always refreshing! The fresh carrots look delicious!ReplyDelete
Speachless! There's only one word that describes my feelings accurate; hmmmmmmmm... {I know, it's not even a word}ReplyDelete
Reminds me about my hot version of this with ginger added aswell. Love carrots!ReplyDelete
looks great..ReplyDelete
This soup sounds simple and delicious. I love carrots!ReplyDelete
Interesting soup. I make carrot juice a few times a week, need to try this soup one day.ReplyDelete
This sounds absolutely lovely... we're growing heirloom carrots in the garden this year, and this soup sounds like the perfect way to show them off! Can't wait to try it out.ReplyDelete
It's funny but I only started liking cold soups just a few years ago. This one looks to be another to add to my small-but growing list of ones to try out! Many thanks indeed!ReplyDelete
I'm always looking for other takes on Gazpacho. Apart from my white and red, I've also seen a red cabbage(purple) one. Yours looks so enticing. Will have to think up some more ideas of how I can incorporate it.ReplyDelete
Super creative! GREGReplyDelete
Wow, the color on that is stunning! For someone who doesn't usually make cold soups, you did an amazing job. Also, if you have not tried bits of carrot mixed into risotto, do. They add great crunch and color.ReplyDelete
Wow, this looks great!! I like this word.. "gazpacho" I think I'll just say it to people now instead of "hello" it sound so much better.ReplyDelete
I can tell it was intense. I would like to make more cold soups this summer for parties! Definitely is a good time saver! I like the idea of using beet root.ReplyDelete
Hope you are enjoying your spring(if it still feels like spring!).
This looks great. I've been scouring the net for cold soups and really don't like the look of many. Thanks for posting this. I have local oranges and local carrots so it's perfect.ReplyDelete

The Dallas Mavericks are getting blown out by the Oklahoma City Thunder early, and they got victimized by a horrible missed offensive basket interference call, but I still can't believe I just saw Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle do this.
TNT's Steve Kerr speculated that Carlisle was trying to fire up his struggling team as much as he was trying to show his displeasure with the call. That's entirely possible, and it's really the only logical explanation. Carlisle is known to be a somber, calm head coach that doesn't lose his cool like this. Maybe the importance of the moment got to him. Maybe his team's frustrating season finally spilled out. Maybe it was calculated. Who knows.
No matter what it is, it was very, very strange to watch. It remains to be seen whether Carlisle's outburst has any effect on his team.

City board benefits: Giving goes the other way
The taxpayers pay roughly $200,000 a year in premium payments for board-member insurance coverage. That does not include payments for covered medical services. The Union Leader has tried to learn what the total costs are, but our right-to-know request was denied on medical privacy grounds.
This week city charter commission member Rich Girard proposed eliminating the insurance coverage for aldermen and school board members. His proposal was rejected on a 5-4 vote. Instead, commission members voted for a plan that would remove the insurance but compensate board members by raising their stipends from $4,000 a year to $15,000.
Under that plan, the taxpayers would increase their board-member stipend payments by $308,000 a year (from $112,000 to $420,000). We are paying roughly $100,000 a year per board for the insurance coverage now. That plan would raise the taxpayers' minimum yearly costs by about $100,000 a year.
Of course the total costs vary from year to year depending on how many medical bills aldermen and school board members rack up. The total might exceed $308,000 a year. But there is no way of knowing.
The idea that the people should compensate elected public servants for losing a benefit they never should have been given in the first place is ridiculous. Elected board members serve the taxpayers. An elementary part of that service is to refrain from being a financial burden on the people one is elected to serve.
Stipends are not meant to profit board members. They are meant to provide a small, partial compensation for services rendered. The giving still is supposed to go primarily from the board members to the public. Health benefits and big stipends reverse that equation. They should be rejected out of hand.

What Do I Look for When I Write? I Like Lines Not Dots
Written by: John Lynn
As most of you know, I'm surrounded by planning for the HIMSS Annual Conference that's happening in about a week and a half. I apologize for those that get tired of all the HIMSS discussion, but it literally overwhelms most things for me. I have about 200 emails in my inbox from PR people asking me if I want to meet with a healthcare IT company while at HIMSS. At this point I've mostly gathered those emails to see what companies are offering and starting today I'll start replying to those emails as I fill out my HIMSS schedule.
I must admit that my initial look at the pitches I've received is pretty underwhelming. I think part of this might be that a year is not a lot of time for many things to change. As I said in my 2013 Healthcare IT predictions post, I think that it's much more valuable to look at a 5 year horizon as opposed to a single year. A year just isn't enough time for most innovations to really take shape. However, in 5 years you can see some amazing changes.
I was really impressed with Neil Versel's post about his HIMSS being all about quality and patient safety. If you're a PR company or someone interested in working with Neil, then you'll want to take a good look at that post. I hope that Neil is sending a link to that post to all the PR people who email him. I can imagine if I'd lost my father to poor healthcare quality I'd take a similar view. His post started me to think about what interested me most. What did I want to write about at HIMSS.
This is actually a common question that I get from PR people. Many of them ask, "What stories are you looking for at HIMSS?" I've always hated that question. I've never gone to HIMSS with specific stories in mind. Instead, my goal is to go to HIMSS to discover what stories should be brought to my readers. Sure, I could probably predict some of the stories that will come out of this year's HIMSS, but my goal is to be open to discover something my readers may not have thought about before.
Plus, I've found that it's pretty rare that I write about something after one meeting. I'm not as interested in a one off experience with a vendor where I write about whatever they're selling at the moment (a dot on a chart). It does happen on occasion, but I'm more interested in writing about trends I see happening over time (a line). Where were you last year or the year before that or when I last spoke to you at another conference and where are you today? This makes for a much more interesting story.
Another aspect in the line vs dot coverage is that one EMR vendor discussion is a dot, but my discussion with dozens of EMR vendors creates a line that is often much more interesting to my readers.
There you go. A few of my thoughts on what I like to cover. This is true at HIMSS and throughout the year. If you know of lines I should be writing about, I'd love to hear them. Now time to dig through that stack of emails to see what lines I can find.

Man found hanged at Whitefield Metrolink named
Updated 10:39am Tuesday 14th January 2014 in News
A MAN found hanged at Whitefield Metrolink Station has been named as Douglas Isaac.
The 69 year old, of Tameside, was found dead by horrified commuters who were making their way to work at 8.25am on December 12.
As revealed exclusively in The Guide on Boxing Day, Mr Isaac had been interviewed by police the day before his death on suspicion of rape and sexually assault.
He was not charged with any offence.
The circumstances surrounding the incident were referred to the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), as a matter of routine.
The IPCC referred the matter back to local police for investigation.
The inquest into Mr Isaac opened on New Year's Eve and was adjourned.
A spokesman for Rochdale Coroner's Office said the inquest is due to resume on April 24.

Jason Smith
The closest Tigers basketball beat writer Jason Smith came to athletic greatness was nailing a baseline shot before the halftime buzzer of a White Station High junior varsity game. Alas, he never scored another bucket, yet managed to dust himself off and pursue a career in sports journalism at the University of Memphis. After seven years covering preps for The CA, Smith was promoted to the Tigers basketball beat in 2010. Now, when he's not in the backyard trying to relive his one shining moment on the court, he spends most days at the Finch Center, trying to keep Tigers basketball fans close to the players and the program.

Phil Stukenborg has covered University of Memphis football since Tiger coach Justin Fuente was a junior in high school, The Pyramid was THE downtown arena and Conference USA was a fledgling league with Memphis as a founding member. He's also spent as much time -- actually more -- covering the city's pro tennis and golf tournaments and remembers an Andre Agassi appearance at The Racquet Club once generating as much buzz as a Kobe Bryant appearance at the FedExForum does now. Oh, and although he doesn't cover the NBA's Grizzlies, he feels fairly confident he can explain, if asked, what being amnestied means.

Mark Weber found his passion for sports photography covering the University of Alabama and Auburn University sports for the Birmingham Post-Herald after graduating from Western Kentucky University.

In addition, he shoots a wide variety of assignments for the newspaper, including long-term projects on the Memphis community. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling with his wife and spending time with their German Shepherds.

Oreo cookies may be just as addictive as cocaine -- at least to mice used in a lab study.
That's according to a new study conducted by Connecticut College students and their professor.
Similar to humans, rats often ate the cream center first before going for the cookie.
The purpose of the study was to look at the potential addictiveness of high-fat and high-sugar foods.
The study found that eating cookies activated more neurons in the brain's "pleasure center" than exposure to drugs such as cocaine or morphine.
"Our research supports the theory that high-fat/ high-sugar foods stimulate the brain in the same way that drugs do," said professor Joseph Schroeder. "It may explain why some people can't resist these foods despite the fact that they know they are bad for them."
The study was conducted by giving the rats Oreos on one side of a maze, and rice cakes on the other side of the maze.
Schroeder said that, just like humans, rats didn't get pleasure out of eating the rice cakes.
The rats were also given a shot of cocaine or morphine on one side of the maze and a shot of saline on the other. Schoeder is licensed by the USDA to purchase and use controlled substances for research.
The research showed that rats who had been conditioned with Oreos spent as much time on the "drug" side of the maze as the rats who were conditioned with cocaine or morphine. The Oreos, however, activated significantly more neurons than cocaine or morphine.
"This correlated well with our behavioral results and lends support to the hypothesis that high-fat/ high-sugar foods are addictive," Schroeder said.
He said that he and his students chose to feed the rats Oreos because they wanted a food that was appetizing to humans and contributes to obesity in the same way cocaine is pleasurable and addictive to humans.

We chose this cruise as we have enjoyed cruising with NCL in the past and wanted to do Alaska at this time of year. On a positive note the general staff was always friendly and the cruise director, Jaime was one of the best I have ever encounted on a cruise boat. The weather was perfect and the seas were unusually calm - even the staff and captain remarked several times on the seas and weather.
What we were disappointed with was the quality of the food on the boat. The dining room quality has gone down a great deal. The service in the main dining rooms was also not good. One waiter was as bad as the next. This is quite a change from prior cruises we have taken with NCL.
In addition, Le Bistro has also gone down in quality. We were disappointed that they have changed the menu and the chef needs to take some lessons in preparation. We did not go to the specialty restaurants as we had in the past - when the buffet is the best bet you have a problem with your kitchen!
The entertainment was spectacular - the regular ast goes overboard and does a great job.

Police seeking convicted Broadway ram raider David Benyon
12:20pm Monday 3rd September 2012 in News By Freya Leng
POLICE are appealing for help in tracing a wanted man who failed to appear in court when he was sentenced for a Broadway ram raid.
David Benyon, aged 23 of Compton Rd, Cheltenham, was jailed for seven years on August 20 at Worcester Crown Court for conspiracy to burgle.
It related to a 'ram raid' in Broadway at 3am on May 5, 2009 when a stolen Land Rover Discovery was used to gain entry to the Nisa store in Bibsworth Avenue and the cashpoint machine inside was stolen.
Benyon absconded on July 23 during his trial and was found guilty on July 25 in his absence. His conviction included burglary, a theft of a Land Rover, a further attempted theft of a second Land Rover, robbery and the theft of a disc cutter.
Detectives believe that he is still in the local area, in particular Evesham and Cheltenham, where he has strong links.
Benyon is white, 5ft 9ins tall, of average build and has short, light brown hair.
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Watson of West Mercia Police said: "David Benyon belongs in jail and it is time for him to face justice.
"In his greed to take cash from the Nisa ATM, he caused severe structural damage to the shop, totalling hundreds of thousands of pounds, after he stole a local resident's 4x4, writing it off in the raid.
"We are also concerned that while he is at large he may be committing further crimes, so we need to arrest him as soon as possible."
If anyone has information about Benyon's whereabouts call either West Mercia Police or Gloucestershire Constabulary on the non-emergency police number 101.
Information can also be passed on anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence was formed in 2013 after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. and brought together organizations and institutions across the state to end the epidemic of gun violence.
Over the course of a nine-month period, the committee, which was organized at the behest of Massachusetts House Speaker Robert DeLeo, met 15 times to hammer out the details, according to Boston Magazine.
Although Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun policies and ranks among the lowest states in overall gun violence, the report found that there are still "gaps that allow for irresponsible ownership and tragic deaths."
The Coalition supports the following principles:
- Universal background checks for all gun purchases, including private sales
- A strengthened background check system.
- A suitability standard for all gun licenses; with discretion for local licensing authorities
- Prohibition of military assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines5. Stronger penalties for gun-related crime, including failure to report lost and stolen guns and trafficking of firearm.
