Those first few lines were spoken clearly by a young actress as she stepped into the spotlight to begin the Greenwood Little Theater's rendition of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." I've seen the play many times and her words sent me throttling back through time like Michael J. Fox in a DeLorean. The familiar words and carols transported me to Christmases past, times when I wasn't worried about paying doctor's bills or what Santa would bring for Christmas—back then I had perfect faith that the Big Guy would pull through.
The Herdman's were a bad bunch of kids, six of them to be exact, who had never even heard the Christmas story. They begin going to church because they hear tall tales of "all-you-can-eat" desserts and end up starring in the church's Christmas Pageant. The congregation is in an uproar over a bunch of hoodlums playing Mary, Joseph, and every other meaningful role, but through their experience, the Herdman's learn what Christmas is all about.
I sat in my seat transfixed, unable to keep the smile off of my face as my 4-year-old and 6-year-old laughed in all the right spots and gasped when Imogene Herdman got caught smoking a cigar in the ladies room of the church.
After a week of doctor's visits and grown-up Christmas plans going down the drain, it was exactly what I needed to shake off a bad case of the Ebenezer Scrooges. I realized sitting in the theater that being a grownup is exactly the opposite of what you think it will be as a child.
You think once you reach adulthood your problems will be over, your life will be exactly what you want it to be. No one will tell you to go to bed at night, no one will tell you when to get up, and no one will stop you from eating dessert for dinner (which is pretty awesome.) But what you don't realize is the same person who is tucking you into bed at night, is the same person waking you up in the morning, making sure you aren't late for school, making your breakfast and packing your lunch.
I realized the best part of being a grownup is being able to decide when to act like a kid. Christmas is the perfect time of year to unleash your inner child. I had to smother my mother instincts when, during the play, the cast began singing 'Silent Night.' Audience participation wasn't really on the agenda, but my 6-year-old, Aubrey, was moved to sing and from the fourth row, she out-sang some of the cast members. The mother in me wanted to shush her, but the kid in me wanted to join in—I compromised and kept my mouth shut.
This Christmas season I'm making a concerted effort to be more childlike. I want to relax and enjoy the season, whether that means singing inappropriately loud when no one asks me to, letting my kids eat Christmas cookies for dinner on occasion, or maybe just worrying a little less about how, what and where Santa does his Christmas shopping. I want to embrace the part of Christmas that matters; the part where your heart swells up so much with pure delight and happiness at all of your own blessings that you are moved to bless others.
Tears rolled down my cheeks when the Herdman's, in lieu of frankincense, gave the ham out of their welfare basket as a gift to Baby Jesus and I thought to myself, "THAT is what Christmas is all about."

Cocktail party provided great experience
This past Friday (Aug. 23) I had the honor of being a guest expert for Cooperstown Farmers' Market's Local Foods, Local Spirits Cocktail Party.
Guest Expert was really a pretty cushy job, since my role was to eat, drink and encourage discussion about the value of local foods and the businesses that make them — which is one of my favorite topics anyway. I also got a cool apron with the image of one of the great food paintings from local artist Kathy Minnig. The event was fantastic. The food and the beers, wines and liquors that went with them were amazing — all from within 50 miles of Cooperstown.
The event was held at Templeton Hall. The vendors from the Cooperstown Farmers' Market and other friends of the market provided the meats, cheeses, produce, breads and other great, local ingredients. Then Lucy Townsend created an amazing array of small plate dishes to fill four food and beverage stations.
It started with a cheese and charcuterie table with a selection of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, breads, savory pastries and condiments. I probably could have spent the whole evening there, mixing and matching among them and the selection of beers and wines at the table for pairing. KyMar Farm Distillery was also pouring their Mapple Jack liqueur, which works very well with sharp cheese.
The next station was focused on vegetables, from a greens salad to veggie spreads to a chilled cucumber soup. The presentation and freshness of these local seasonal creations was fantastic and were again accompanied by a selection of wines and beers, tending toward crisp white wines and lighter brews.
The next table was a cluster of meat dishes spanning the back wall. Local fish, beef, duck and venison were all on display in beautiful and tasty bite sized dishes. The duck with bacon jelly was brilliant. The meat dishes paired nicely with the dry red wines and heartier beers on the table.

text: Perhaps some of this blog's readers (and yes, it's getting hard to read this blog…I am afraid the system will collapse before I get this post entered…) saw the piece I did on how local media supports and "normalizes" the death of US GIs in Iraq. See my essay "Normalizing Evil on the Local News," at www.zmag.org/content/print_article.cfm?itemID=9276§ionID=21. This article elicited some interesting reflections from self-described "Christrians" who accused me of "dishonoring" a recently killed (in Fallujah) Marine (Andy Patten of Byron, Illinois) mentioned in that article. Some of those who wrote to me constructed some rather unfortunate arguments in defense of the war and the criminal White House that took their friend's life. I penned a response to their hurt but nonetheless still ruggedly rightist reflections in my "Letter to the Friends of a Lost Soldier," available at: www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=72&ItemID=9301. Here's the oddest letter yet, just sent to me by a self-described descendant of Norwegian immigrants to the U.S.: "Mr. Street:" "I suppose that you would consider World War II an illegitimate war and all of the soldiers killed there a waste. Maybe you would enjoy living under Nazi rule. Maybe we should have just allowed Sadaam Hussein to maim and torture more people beyond the Kurds. What would you consider to be normal and necessary death overseas? Why should we even care about anyone else other than ourselves anyway? We fund all kinds of domestic programs and yet are we ahead in terms of people becoming better citizens or contributing more to our society because of what we have given them off the public dole? What is your statistic to back up that most of the American populace is against the war? I would imagine that if Clinton was at war in Iraq and everything was the same as it is now, you would have no hue and outcry. If America is as bad as you say it is, why are people still desiring to come here from other countries and make a life for themselves? My inlaws came here from Norway in the 1950′s for all that America has to offer. Why are so many students here from other countries such as at NIU? Why would they want to go to school in America if they can go somewhere else? As a woman myself, do you have anything to say about how women are treated in Iraq and other middle eastern countries? Would you rather leave that alone because you don't care about the woman who were maimed and killed by Sadaam and his cronies? Are we so concerned with our image as a nation that we have to appease the whole world with whatever we do? Lets just all be one happy little nation and mind our little p's and q's and we'll live happily ever after. Maybe the pilgrims with their imperialist ambitions should never have come over here and we should all be living under British rule. Then we wouldn't have rocked the boat. " "You seem like you would be a good candidate to live in Norway. It is a 'wonderful' socialist country. All of your healthcare would be paid for. Just hope you don't come down with cancer or another serious illness. Several of my husband's relatives were given a clean bill of health in Norway and then came here for a vacation and within days of coming here were taken to the hospital. Two of them were diagnosed with terminal cancer and the other with advanced heart disease. One died here before he could get back to Norway and the others died soon after they got back to Norway. Other relatives have come over for treatment because their 'lovely little' socialist medical system has no incentive for innovative care and therefore offers no hope for serious diseases or doesn't even diagnose them." Ok, that's the note. Now it's me talking again. What's the worst thing in this terrible letter? Hard to say. Maybe its the writer's preposterous analogy between Saddam and Hitler, made without much other than superficial basis. The fascist Axis was a true and profound threat to world peace and democracy. I would have been the first person to the recruiting station to fight Hitler. An uncle of mine died fighting the Nazi army in North Africa. Maybe its the writer's ignorance of Uncle Sam's role in funding, equipping and generally protecting Saddam as he butchered not only Kurds but Iranian soliders and many others. She is unaware of the US-led economic sanctions that maimed and tortured Iraq to the tune of at least 1 million deaths (not counting the huge civilian death count from the first US war on Iraq) and which simultaneously deepened Saddam's power in Iraq. Maybe its her ignorance of how the situation of Iraqi women has worsened thanks to the U.S. invasion, which is empowering reactionary Muslim elements who repress females. Or maybe its her gullible acceptance of the Cheney-Bush administration's Orwellian rhetoric whereby the massive US assault on Iraqi civilians, society, and infrastructure (in 2004 a conservative British medical journal estimated more than 100,000 premature Iraqi deaths because of Bush's monumentally illegal war of aggression and choice) is an expression of America's liberating and Christian love…. for…. well, the Iraqis (you know…tough love). Maybe its her lack of understanding that the U.S. has by the far the weakest welfare state in the industrialized world. What does she mean "ahead in terms of people becoming better citizens?" That term would require a bit more elaboration it seems to me. Apparently she means people moving off "the dole." I guess that would leave out people like Bush and Cheney, whose chickenhawk lives have been defined by the aristicratic cradle to grave dole called elite class privilege. Both of them have received no small amount of corporate welfare over the decades. Maybe its her ignorance of readily available polling data showing that 62 percent of the U.S. populace disagrees with Bush's Iraq policy. Or maybe its her ignorance that leftists like me harshly opposed and criticized Clinton, including his Iraq policy: it's endlessly amusing to see how the right likes to think that regressive/neoliberal Bill Clinton was "left" and that the left liked him. Maybe it's my critic's false claim that I said America was a bad place. Or her dangerous confusion between America/Americanism and the Bush administration. Or her authoritarian suggestion that someone who disagrees with her vile president's morally unjust and idiotic (even from a conservative perspective) war should LEAVE THE COUNTRY— there we go again (http://blog.zmag.org/index.php/weblog/entry/why_dont_you_leave_the_country/) — and go to, well, curiously enough, her ancestral land Norway. So much for America as the land of free expression: "what, you dare disagree with the current administration? Deport thyself, infidel!" No, the worst thing I think is the way she beats up on not-so poor (see below) little Norway, a country to which she claims ethno-historical connection! I love America, but I also have some reasons to love Norway too. Check out the UN's 2005 Human Development Report numbers at http://hdr.undp.org/statistics/data/ http://cfapp2.undp.org/hdr/statistics/data/rc_report.cfm Norway is, well, NUMBER ONE on the most sophisticated system of national quality-of-life ranking yet devised by social researchers. The U.S. is number 10, which is pretty good, but it ain't Norway. Here are some comparisons that ought to interest my Norwegian-American critic: PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION LIVING BENEATH 50% OF MEDIAN NATIONAL INCOME: Norway: 6.4% US: 17% HEALTH EXPENDITURES PER CAPITA* Norway: $3,409 US: $5,724 * My critic probably thinks socialized health insurance means higher costs. Not true: the American corporate system, ruled by the capitalist profit imperative, is remarkably expensive because of high drug costs, huge doctor and administrative salaries, and massive bureaucratic bloat in the the medical industrial complex. LIFE EXPECTANCY* Norway: 79 US: 77 * I'm very sorry about my critic's husband's relatives, but people live longer on the whole in Norway, with its supposedly awful publicly funded health care system. INFANT MORTALITY* Norway: 3 per 1,000 live births US: 7 per 1,000 live births * More than twice as high in supposedly "free market" America, where more than 44 million lack health insurance GDP PER CAPITA* Norway: $48,412 (highest in world) US: 37,648 * So do Americans need to start working harder than those lazy Norwegians, who have been made so lethargic by social democratic programs? SHARE OF NATIONAL CONSUMPTION BYTHE POOREST 10 PERCENT OF POPULATION Norway: 4% U.S.: 2 % SHARE OF NATIONAL CONSUMPTION BY THE RICHEST 20 PERCENT Norway: 37.2% US: 45.8% RATIO OF THE 10 PERCENT'S INCOME TO THE BOTTOM 10 PERCENT'S INCOME: Norway: 6.1 (times higher) US: 16 (times higher) GINI COEFFFICIENT (Measure of total inequality) Norway: 25.8 US: 41 UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (2004): Norway: 4.5 US: 6 Now that Bush's war on Iraq has proven so successful perhaps the president should be preparing for a new messianic assault on evil Marxist Scandinavia, including first and foremost the nation ranked at the very top of the planet in terms of human development. But of course the UN's Human Development Report is just part of the international liberal socialist secular humanist commie terrorist intellectual east coast academic conspiracy that evangelical authorities so rightly condemn, right? Right. Jesus spins in his grave when America's "Christian" right starts thinking. Forgive them for they haven't got a clue. Maybe some day my critic will learn about the radical Jesus that Gerrard Winstanely knew about, the wonderful egalitarian anti-authoritarian leveller of men — the great enemy of hierarchy who finds his vision more closely fulfilled in relatively secular Norway than in avowedly "Christian" America.

Once at Peterhof, you'll begin a guided tour of the 300-acre Lower Park with its system of fountains. The elaborate system includes four cascades as well as 174 fountains, with the Samson Fountain considered the most impressive fountain complex in the world.
During your tour, you'll view the Marine Canal, the Monplaisir Palace and Monplaisir Garden with it statues and fountains, including the statues of Peter the Great, the Sun Fountain and the Roman Fountains.

They include the Bench Fountains, the Oak Tree and the Umbrella.
Having passed along the Monplaisir Alley, you'll find yourself near the Chessboard Cascade, where the excursion train will be waiting to take you across another area of the park and to the neighboring park of Alexandria.

Recently, I was invited to check out the midday menu at Epic Roasthouse, a San Francisco establishment that's known for its aged chops and jawdropping views of the San Francisco Bay. I went, curious to find out how a restaurant with a glitzy steakhouse reputation would fare with more casual brunch standards like eggs and breakfast pastries. Check out my visit when you keep reading. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Epic is backed by restaurateur and design rock star Pat Kuleto, an industry legend who's known for such fine dining settings as Boulevard and Farallon.Photo courtesy of Mark Leet 1 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I toyed with the idea of ordering Epic's $40 prix fixe menu, an all-emcompassing three-course meal with drinks that begins with either a mimosa or bloody Mary, and ends with beignets. But when the kitchen sent out its latest creation — gargantuan house-made pop tarts — I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it all, so I opted for the a la carte menu instead. 2 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Even if you aren't local to the Bay Area, you might recognize executive chef Jan Birnbaum: the protege of New Orleans chef Paul Prudhomme made frequent appearances on Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello. Source 3 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A little digging revealed the toaster pastries were filled with raspberry and apricot fillings. The raspberry version was iced with an orange glaze. 4 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I ordered an omelet that was filled with rock shrimp and elegant stems of steamed asparagus spears, then drizzled with a béarnaise sauce. 6 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Meanwhile, my dining companion, who'd gotten the famous half-pound burger, faced the epic task of finishing it. 6 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The burger came with every accoutrement imaginable: roasted mushrooms, house-made mustard, garlic aioli, bits of bacon, homemade corn relish, grilled onions, tomatoes, little gem lettuce, anchovy ketchup, a dill spear, and bread-and-butter pickles on the side. Got that? 7 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 But perhaps the best course of the day was the onion rings. These colossal bites were lightly battered in cornmeal, then fried to perfection, with not a hint of grease. I enjoyed them lightly dipped in house-made anchovy ketchup. 8 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I couldn't resist sitting outside on the heated patio for picturesque views of the Bay Bridge and Treasure Island.Photo courtesy of Mark Leet 9 / 9 5 1 4 0 0 Read More Epic RoasthouseSteakhousesRestaurants With A View2010 SummerSlideshowBrunchSan Francisco Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

COLUMBIA, S.C.—Sometimes, history comes full circle.
On Tuesday, Hannah Jane Hurdle-Toomey, one of the last living children of an African-American slave, will be watching intently on TV as an African-American family takes up residence in the White House, a national monument built by slaves.

Sometimes, history puts things right.
On the front lawn of the South Carolina state Capitol, hard by the Confederate flag waving in the breeze and next to the monument honoring Confederate soldiers, stands a forbidding statue of one of America's most notorious white supremacists.
"We have done our level best. We have scratched our heads to find out how we could eliminate the last one of them, and we would have done it if we could," declared Benjamin Tillman, a South Carolina governor and senator, speaking of black Americans on the floor of the U.S. Senate in 1900. "We stuffed ballot boxes. We shot them. We are not ashamed of it. We of the South have never recognized the right of the Negro to govern white men, and we never will."
On Tuesday, when the first black man in American history recites the presidential oath of office, Benjamin Tillman officially becomes moot.
For a nation sucker-punched by an economic crisis, a world rocked back on its heels by terrorism and a planet gasping for relief from a steadily warming climate, the inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama offers a breathtaking moment of audacious hope.
Unemployed Americans with evaporated medical insurance are hoping Obama's promised health reforms come through before they get sick. Vulnerable Americans living along the nation's coasts are hoping Obama does something about climate change before the seas rise any higher. War-weary Americans with sons and daughters in the U.S. armed forces are hoping Obama can bring the precarious interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan to a secure conclusion. Black Americans still victimized by systemic racial inequalities are hoping that Obama will address the nation's unfinished business of equal opportunity.
And every American who is hoping to send a child to college, care for an elderly parent or simply retire without having to take a full-time job as a Wal-Mart greeter is praying that Obama can chart a way out of the nation's deepening financial crisis.
"I didn't vote for Obama," said a woman hurrying out of an unemployment office in downtown Columbia, "but if he can create some jobs down here, a lot of us will be willing to change our minds."
The nation's 44th president will scarcely resemble all the Establishment white men who came before him. In fact, even as the Obamas finally integrate 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. after more than 200 years, outgoing President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, will be heading back to Texas to a newly-purchased home in an exclusive, 82-percent-white Dallas neighborhood where, until just a few years ago, home sellers routinely attached "racial covenants" to their property deeds to prevent blacks from buying in.
But President Obama, the son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, will look very much like the new, multiracial, multicultural America he will begin to lead—a nation that, by the time Obama's two young daughters reach middle age, will no longer have a majority white population.
Yet not only Democrats or liberals or African-Americans will be rejoicing on Inauguration Day. Polls show that more than three-fourths of Americans—many of them Republican and conservative and white—are pulling for Obama in these perilous times, far more than the 53 percent of the electorate that voted for him.
"You'd have to be irrational not to want the new president to succeed," Newt Gingrich, one of the Republican Party's ideological standard-bearers, recently told The New York Times.
There is another national yearning out there as well, one as old as America's founding sin of slavery—the hope that, 146 years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and nearly 46 years after Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of his evocative dream, Obama's presidency might finally salve the wounds of America's enduring struggles over race.
Today, of course, all Americans have the right to vote, or live where they choose, or eat where they want.
The nation can look back at the grainy newsreels of little black girls being escorted by federal marshals into public schools; or the faded photographs of red-faced sheriffs unleashing vicious dogs on peaceful protesters; or the museum displays of "Whites Only" signs posted above water fountains and restrooms, and take comfort in the notion that such Old South anachronisms are locked away in America's shameful Jim Crow past.
What's more, liberated from the rigid categories of "black" or "white," 2 percent of Americans now identify themselves to census-takers as members of two or more races—like Obama, the progeny of interracial unions that not so long ago triggered arrests and even public lynchings.

CATEGORIES MoviesBrad Pitt as a former CIA operative–turned–assassin on the run across Europe in the thriller 'The Gray Man' sounds like Jason Bourne territory, but the film's director promises he'll have an entirely different visual approach to the rogue-spy story.
James Gray ('The Yards') has said he's planning to shoot the adaptation of Mark Greaney's novel from the point of view of the assassin, instead of Paul Greengrass's "documentary-style, objective approach" in the second and third 'Bourne' films.
"He owns that style," Gray said of Greengrass. "I want to do the opposite, which feels like a good way to sympathize with a professional hitman. You humanize him by never distancing yourself from his experience. This story has emotional stakes that enable me to do that."
Pitt's name was linked to the project back in January, but his reps denied them at the time. There's still a question whether he'll do the film as he's currently "in talks" and because the timing has yet to be determined, but with news that he'll also produce via his Plan B company, chances look good.
According to Deadline, if Angelina Jolie does Disney's 'Maleficent' next, it'll be Brad's turn to take a movie hiatus. If he does do 'The Gray Man' next, it would have to be after 'World War Z' wraps up this fall.
Does this sound different enough from 'Bourne?'

It was a big month for foodies in the legal world as a number of decisions were handed down that will affect both Epicureans and food purveyors alike. The cyber world was abuzz this past November when Hostess Brands filed for bankruptcy protection. Many people were unsure as to the fate of their childhood snack cakes that filled school lunch boxes and survival bunkers for decades. The iconic treats of Twinkies, Ho-Hos and Wonder Bread might soon begin to fill grocery store shelves. The United States Bankruptcy Court, on Monday, gave Hostess permission to proceed with auctions for some of its remaining brands with bidding to start at $410 million. The baseline offer comes from two private equity firms that are looking to purchase the company for that amount of money. A hearing is scheduled for March 19, 2013 to approve the successful bidder.
The Washington Supreme Court ruled this week that a customer who received tainted food, from the Burger King Corporation, could sue for emotional damages even though he did not eat the food. A police officer in Washington obtained a hamburger at a Burger King drive-through in March of 2009. The police officer became suspicious when the employee handing him the food would not make eye contact. He then inspected his hamburger and discovered a thick cloudy blob of saliva on it. Although he did not eat the food, he claimed ongoing emotional trauma from the incident and sought damages for emotional distress. The Washington Supreme Court held that "common sense tells us that food consumption is a personal matter and contaminated food is closely associated with disgust and other kinds of emotional turmoil."
As an interesting aside, DNA testing was done on the saliva and matched that of a restaurant employee, who later pled guilty to third-degree assault against a police officer and was sentenced to three months in prison. Another employee, who was also involved, was fired as a result of this incident.
A United States District Judge recently dismissed a class action lawsuit and an injunction against ConAgra Foods Inc., the makers of Hebrew National Hot Dogs. The lawsuit alleged that the company's hot dogs and other products were not kosher. The suit also claimed that the packaging was misleading, featuring a symbol that led purchasers to believe that the products were kosher by "the most stringent" Orthodox Jewish standards. The plaintiffs alleged that ConAgra contractors did not follow the proper religious procedures. In dismissing the lawsuit, the Federal District Court Judge stated that Supreme Court precedent does not allow civil judges to resolve disputes that are "intrinsically religious in nature."
Subway Sandwich Shops is now facing a number of lawsuits from plaintiffs claiming that their famous "foot-long" sandwiches are actually only 11 inches long. This revelation was thought to be the result of an Australian teenager's video that went viral on the Internet showing the 11 inch length. Several plaintiffs have sued Subway for compensatory damages and injunctive relief for deceptive advertising practices. One of the plaintiff's lawyers stated, "this is no different than buying a dozen eggs and getting eleven." In an interesting turn of events, Subway Australia stated that "foot-long" is merely a registered trademark and is not a guarantee of the length of each Subway sandwich.
Lastly, McDonald's agreed to pay $700,000 to settle a lawsuit over non-Halal food. The fast food restaurant chain advertises Halal food at two of its locations near Dearborn Michigan, which is home to one of the largest concentrations of Arab and Muslim communities in the U.S. The lawsuit stems from the purchase of a chicken sandwich in November of 2011, which was supposed to be Halal, but was later determined not to be. The settlement applies to customers who purchased purported Halal products from the two Michigan locations between September of 2005 and January of 2013. Because of the difficulty of identifying these individuals, both sides have reportedly agreed that most of the settlement funds will be provided to local charities that benefit Muslims.
These stories represent an interesting slice of American Jurisprudence for you to chew on and digest.

Hi all
I am new to dieting, I pretty much eat what I want when I want. I have been making slow gains from the training but wish to speed this up a bit through a better diet.
I am trying to find a sample diet, that I can base my own on, that gives food examples etc. If anyone can help or point me in the direction of a book or url that would be great.
I am looking to lose fat, gain definition while still building/strengthening the nuscles. Tall order huh? I would settle for losing some fat.
As far as I have read so far my diet should consist of 10-15% fats,30-35% protein and 50-60% carbs. Is this correct? What should I start with as a baseline for the number of calories I should be consuming per day?
Hope you can help
I am still learning with the dieting thing but I can show you my diet so you can base perhaps one from it..
Mine is roughly 3500 cals with over 360 protein, about 300/320 carbs and 80 or so fat...
Meal 1
6 eggs (3 white, 3 whole)
90 grams of oats with some milk
Meal 2
NLARGE Weight gainer
Meal 3, 4 and 5
200 grams of chicken
90 grams fo oats with some milk
30 grams of nuts
Meal 6
2 scoops of whey
3 bananas
This are all clean foods pretty much.. I alternate the oats with brown rice and try and get in a good 4 litres of water per day at least.......
Hope that helps..
Also look at Gino's just posted diet..
Thanks for that Hulk.
I will print those off and have a look.
I am still really looking for something that will tell me what my basic calorie intake should be roughly. I don't digest wheat easily so need to stay off bread as much as I can, any ideas for an ideal substitute? What do you guys/gals do about taking food to work etc, what do you take, how do you store, how do you prepare the food.
Sorry for all the questions but I think I need to supplement all the gym time with a decent diet.

Adam Guettel Introduces New Songs From His New Musicals at 54 Below; We've Got the List
By Steven Suskin
Composer-lyricist Adam Guettel's evening of music at 54 Below — featuring the songwriter and Steven Pasquale and Whitney Bashor — included favorites from The Light in the Piazza, Floyd Collins and more, plus five new songs from two upcoming shows. Playbill was there.
Adam Guettel, Tony Award-winning composer-lyricist of The Light in the Piazza and other musicals, stepped into 54 Below Feb. 19 for the first of seven performances (through Saturday, Feb. 23). Joined by singers Steven Pasquale and Whitney Bashor — and backed by a four-piece combo under the direction of Broadway favorite Kimberly Grigsby — Guettel proved once again just how unique his writing is.
The great hope, when attending a concert or cabaret by a composer, is twofold. You look forward to hearing favorite songs, ideally performed in a manner where they sound as good as (or better than) you remember. At the same time, you keenly hope that you will hear new songs from new shows — and that they will be as good as the ones from the composer's old shows. Guettel succeeds enormously here, on both counts. The songs from Piazza, Floyd Collins and Myths and Hymns retain their power, while five new songs from two upcoming shows make us eager to hear more.
The exciting news is that Millions appears to be nearing completion. Based on the 2004 film of the same title from British director Danny Boyle, the story tells of a seven-year-old who finds a bag of money and wants to do good with it. (The setting has been changed from Lancashire to Albuquerque, New Mexico.) Guettel sang four songs from the score, at least three of which — led by "Find Me" — are strong. The other new song of the evening — "There Go I," from Days of Wine and Roses — is on a level with the best of Piazza, demonstrating that Guettel is on the right track.
The composer does most of the singing, which is fine in that he is a natural performer. Bashor, who won a 2010 Barrymore Award for her performance in the Philadelphia production of Piazza, is on hand to sing two of Clara's songs from that musical along with Guettel's exuberant non-show song "Baby Moon." Pasquale created the role of Fabrizio in the Seattle premiere of Piazza; he missed out on New York, having been stolen away by TVs "Rescue Me." The evening's high spot — among several high spots — was Pasquale's emotional rendition of Piazza's "Il Mondo Era Vuoto."
Guettel, whose last finished musical was the 2005 Tony-winning Piazza, has come up against obstacles in the interim. This program at 54 Below suggests — in both the quality of the new songs and Guettel's happily cheerful demeanor — that he is ready to bring us more musicals to savor.

Over a year ago, I was introduced to the Slice cutter as a way to cut your coupons quickly. Little did I know that this little device would drastically reduce the amount of time I spent cutting coupons every week.
Whenever I get my coupon inserts, I lay the pages down one by one and just slice across to get my coupon! I would recommend putting a cutting board underneath your coupons. If you have small children (or hey, maybe you are just a little clumsy yourself ;)) I would highly recommend keeping this around because it's safe to the touch.
It also has a magnet in it, so mine stays on my fridge at all times so that I don't lose it. I've found that the Slice comes in handy in other ways too, like opening up that ridiculous thick plastic packaging on electronics. Since it's a ceramic blade, it stays sharp and never rusts.
You can buy the Slice cutter at two different places:
1. Through their site.
You can buy the Slice directly through their site for $5.99.
2. On Amazon.
You can currently buy the Slice on Amazon for $5.15 and it qualifies for free Super Saver shipping if you order $25+ of merchandise.
Amazon prices change frequently, but it will always be somewhere around this price.
:: Do you use the Slice cutter or a device similar to it?

A group of GPS vendors and users has challenged mobile startup LightSquared's credibility in a response to the company's new plan for a hybrid satellite and LTE mobile network.
LightSquared either knew or should have known about apparent interference between its proposed LTE (Long-Term Evolution) network and receivers for GPS (Global Positioning System) before it requested a waiver from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate the network, the Coalition to Save Our GPS said in a paper released late Friday. After LightSquared received a conditional waiver in January, a mandatory series of tests revealed serious interference.
[ Stay up to date on the latest news in information technology with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. ]
The fledgling carrier plans to offer wholesale mobile services over satellites and a land-based LTE network. But the LTE system would operate in radio spectrum near to that used by GPS, raising concerns about degraded navigation capabilities. In January, the FCC said LightSquared could build and operate the network if it didn't interfere with GPS receivers. The carrier was required to form a working group to test the technologies together, and that group filed its findings last week.
After the tests showed significant interference to GPS from transmissions in the upper band of LightSquared's spectrum, the company devised a new plan in which it would start out by launching services on a lower band. On Friday, the GPS group jumped on that change of direction with strong criticism.
"The utter failure of LightSquared's initial deployment plans to pass interference tests raises fundamental questions about the representations LightSquared made to the FCC," the Coalition said. "The current strong indication is that whatever LightSquared told the FCC prior to January 2011 was highly inaccurate, to a degree that verges on negligence."
Based on the outcome of its earlier plan, the Coalition also questioned LightSquared's assessment that operating only in the lower band would spare 99.5 percent of GPS receivers from interference. The group then picked apart the carrier's 37-page proposal, challenging specific statements made by LightSquared.
Responding to LightSquared's charge that interference was caused by GPS vendors that made receivers with inadequate filters, the Coalition said LightSquared itself offers GPS-related services outside the GPS band. These GPS augmentation services, which give users such as surveyors and farmers more accurate location data, are offered via satellite by both LightSquared and satellite operator Inmarsat. GPS manufacturers have to make devices that use LightSquared's spectrum so that they can take advantage of LightSquared's own services, the Coalition said.
On Monday, LightSquared acknowledged that it sells GPS augmentation services to OmniStar, a division of Trimble Navigation, which resells the services to users in construction, agriculture and other areas. Trimble has been a leading critic of LightSquared's plans.

Changing and Learning in the Lives of PhysiciansAuthor:
Knowles, Malcolm S.
Pub Date: 1989
Publisher: Greenwood Publishing Group, Incorporated
Summary: This book is based on a research project coordinated through the Society of Medical College Directors of Continuing Medical Education. The premise of the project was to understand how learning relates to change in order to better design education to facilitate change. The study involved 24 universities and systematically collected and analyzed 775 changes from 340 physicians. The results provide a vast array of usefu...l techniques and resources for the continuing learner. The volume suggests that a qualitative approach to discovering variables of lifelong learning is more productive than the traditional quantitative and correlational approaches. It offers a framework for conceptualizing continuing education which it presents as a highly human, creative enterprise. This volume identifies the attributes and dynamics of change and provides a theory which explains how change and learning are related under different conditions. The book begins with a description of an idea framework within which the study is placed. Subsequent chapters provide a detailed view of changes made. The changes are categorized according to the forces that drove the process. Learning is related to a specific cause and effect of changing. The volume concludes with the presentation of a model and a theory of how and why different types of changes occur. [read more]

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
"There are boys and girls, there is night and day, but above all there is love," Dries Van Noten told Style.com's Tim Blanks backstage before a Fall show that balanced the masculinity of Fred Astaire with the overt femininity of Ginger Rogers in Top Hat. The Belgian designer (who might want to consider a second career as a poet) mixed menswear fabrics in tailored silhouettes with frothy feathers for a result that was surprisingly realistic for daytime. Although plumage is typically reserved for special occasions, we couldn't help but notice that many of this season's collections were filled with afternoon-appropriate quills. The Proenza Schouler boys paired a tiered ostrich skirt with a degradé novelty sweatshirt, while Christopher Kane trimmed biker jackets and kicky kilt skirts with the downy stuff. Used sparingly—as seen at Erdem, Pringle of Scotland, and Louis Vuitton—feathers offered an unexpected alternative to fur accents. We have a feeling the peacocking street-style set, in particular, will take to this trend.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
A freak injury on a non-contact play during Thursday's practice will cost the Indianapolis Colts the services of starting running back Vick Ballard for the season.
The team announced Friday that Ballard tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee when he put his foot in the ground to make a cut, and the injury will require surgery. The second-year running back was placed on injured reserve, and seventh-round pick Kerwynn Williams was elevated from the practice squad.
"We feel awful for Vick," head coach Chuck Pagano said. "We all know Vick was headed toward having a fabulous year. We know and understand injuries are part of this game. We'll deal with it. Nobody handles adversity quite like this team and this locker room. It's next man up."
That man is veteran Ahmad Bradshaw, a free-agent addition who missed the entire preseason rehabbing a foot injury. He carried just seven times for 26 yards in last week's win against Oakland.
"We're going to get to see a lot more of Ahmad," Pagano said. "He's excited, obviously, and feels bad about what happened."
Fifth-year running back Donald Brown also will work into the mix. He didn't have a carry against the Raiders but served as a special teams captain and recorded one tackle on a kickoff return.
Brown said the Colts can't afford to allow the injury to change anything about their preparation for Sunday's game against Miami.
"Unfortunately it's the game of football, and it's not the first time it's happened to somebody on this team this season, and unfortunately it probably won't be the last either," he said. "It's a very tough injury, and you hate to see somebody who puts in the work like (Ballard) did, to see that happen to somebody like that. But next man up, and you have to keep going."
Three other starters are listed as questionable for the Dolphins game — inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman (quad), tight end Dwayne Allen (hip) and outside linebacker Erik Walden (hamstring). Inside linebacker Kavell Conner — a likely replacement for Freeman, if needed — also is questionable with an ankle injury after missing last week's opener.
Inside linebacker Pat Angerer is expected to return after sitting out against Oakland while recovering from a concussion. But he, Kelvin Sheppard and Mario Harvey could be the only active interior linebackers.
Sheppard likely will start if Freeman and Conner can't go, and rookie Bjoern Werner would be first in line to replace Walden.
But only Ballard and reserve wide receiver David Reed (quad) have been ruled out against the Dolphins. Each of the other injured players is expected to be a game-time decision.
"I think we've had our share (of adversity)," wide receiver Reggie Wayne said. "I think I've seen my share in my career with this organization, period. I think we got all the right components in place and all the right guys in all the right places to bounce back from this."

11 year old J. W. Clayton can tell you to the very day, how long he's had asthma, eczema and allergies. "Since I was born," he said.
Yep. As far as J. W. is concerned, he's had allergies forever. But it has not been forever under control, says his mom Jackie. "He's old enough to know that he needs his medicine. He needs his treatment. He's needs his cream."
J. W. is actually in the worst possible place for allergies. "Jackson, Mississippi will be in the top five every single year when it comes to allergy," said Dr. Todd Adkins, an allergist with Mississippi Asthma and Allergy Clinic.
Dr. Adkins says you will have a good idea if you will fall prey to the Mississippi environment early on. "Classic allergy symptoms are sneezing, itching, nasal congestion, runny nose, post nasal drip," Dr. Adkins said.
Allergies can be confirmed and specified with allergy tests. "It helps us when we get ready to treat because when we know what we're treating, we can make the treatment very specific for those things."
Treatment is very effective for most patients. "Topical nasal steroid sprays and long acting antihistamines are the mainstay of treatment in allergy."
While there is no actual cure for allergies, Dr. Adkins says there is a therapy that is close. "Allergy shots are vaccinations for the things you're allergic to, and it works by turning off that allergy so that even though you are exposed, you don't have the symptoms."
Beginning the treatment course before the all out allergy assault is the goal. This year, it has worked for J. W. according to mom, Jackie. "Actually it's not been as bad because he's been on top of it, taking his medicine when he needs it."

Saints got their new season off to a cracking start with a 38-8 mullering of last year's beaten grand finalists Warrington.
The victory was so emphatic that the buoyant Saints contingent taunted their hosts with more than a few renditions of "going down,going down."
But from a Saints perspective it underlined why there has been a real sense of optimism building in town due to the significant number of new signings, not least Aussie linchpin Luke Walsh.
Although Wolves had taken an early 4-0 lead courtesy of a 99th second Joel Monaghan, a purple patch of three tries in nine minutes mid way through the first half gave Saints an unassailable 20-4 half time lead.
It was a strong effort from the men in the red vee who gave a muscular performance with a number of high tackles producing howls from the Wolves contingent.
It was a perfect try-scoring senior debut for both Kyle Amor and Walsh, the latter capping a fine game with seven goals.
Walsh provided the spark for the opener with Jonny Lomax interjecting before Jordan Turner sent Tommy Makinson in with a miracle ball on 12 minutes.
The next try came courtesy of the dancing feet of born-again number six Gary Wheeler who took on the line before popping it up for James Roby to straighten on to and touch down.
And following a Walsh 40/20 Amor bashed his way over for the third shortly afterwards, with a third Walsh conversion and then penalty giving Saints a 20-4 interval lead.
Saints were first out of the blocks in the second half when Anthony Laffranchi powered over under the sticks and that killed the game.
Saints were probably guilty of clocking off mentally and had a few lapses with the ball in hand.
But defensively they remained resolute and it took a crawpy rebound off the top of the post padding to assist Wolves in their second score through Joel Monaghan.
There was to be no unlikely comeback for the home side, who have only beaten Saints once in their ten years at Halliwell Jones.
Saints finished with a flourish with the prolific Adam Swift polishing off good work from Mark Percival to add another.
And to put the icing on the cake Walsh snaffled a Ben Westwood pass to zip in, tossing the ball into the crowd to show his delight.
Saints will take a lot of positives from the game - particularly their defence, the steel of their pack and the masterful display of the halves.
There is a long way to go, but Saints and their fans will be pleased to get off to a good start after last year's nightmare opening performance.

Carnival is the cheapest cruise line and if that is what you are looking for you are all set. If you eat at chains like McDonald's, and KFC and Taco bell you are all set. Glory is said to be an older ship but I found it to be just fine. Cabins are bigger than NCL but the pink has to go. One more tip: buy a balcony and stop trying to decide if you need one or not.
Food: not good Breakfast is the normal buffet style with watered eggs, so go for an omelet or better yet go to the dining room as much as possible. Tip: Cranberry juice is only available for breakfast IN the dining room, otherwise you pay for it at the bars or on a soda card.
Lunch is buffet style, hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, nachos made of fried pita chips, pizza, deli sandwiches, fried fish and oysters, and Chinese food items. There is a salad green option there somewhere. After two days of fried foods I was ordering from room service peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Dinner in the dinning room is the way to go. Service is great and there are a fair amount of offerings from prime rib to eggplant to pasta and fish options. Sushi was warm, beef was over cooked, otherwise not too bad.
We are from Boston and we are spoiled with the finest cuisine so understand where I am coming from.
Okay now with the bad stuff: Miami and Ft Lauderdale hotels near the ports are in epidemic proportions with sick people from the stomach bug. The cruise lines blame the hotels, the hotels blame the cruise ships. All I can say every ship that leaves those ports have the first three days of full infirmaries. If you have to be seen by the nurse and you have diarrhea and vomiting be prepared to be quarantined to your room for 24 to 48 hrs and you will not be able to leave the ship for an excursion as your sail card is disabled and highlighted in RED on the screen and a loud buzzer goes off. If that is not enough to feel embarrassed.
Carnival does not reimburse or offer anything to you other than the cursory "sorry" if you miss dinner, elegant night, excursions, food in general as you must only eat there menu of room service of crackers, white dry bread, soup and ginger ale. Remember they blame the hotels or you for bringing it on to the ship.
Overall our trip and ports of excursions were great but missing two dinners, two excursions and the worry that my husband was so sick he may have to be airlifted to a hospital has overwhelmed the greatness of the trip.
My suggestion: don't go Carnival. For a little more go Royal Caribbean or somebody else. You get what you pay for.

A well stocked mixed broadleaved coppice woodland should produce approximately 3 tonnes of air-dried wood per hectare per year.
An average three bedroomed house would need 7-9 tonnes of air-dried wood to provide all the heating requirements. The area of coppice woodland would need to be at least 3 hectares in order to be self-sufficient in firewood.

Jukebox Heroes: Hellgate London's soundtrack
Ironically, the sound is what remained with me long after my days in that game were through. It's no surprise, as the composing duo of Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikiciyan have tackled many other high-profile video game projects together, such as Prototype, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3.
This score is pretty easy to get a hold of these days (try Amazon). It's a solid pick that has a few great tracks, as long as you're willing to tolerate darker themes.

First lady Michelle Obama has arrived in Naples. When her plane touched down she met with a small group of students from Avalon and Mike Davis elementary schools.
Next, she's scheduled to go to the Golden Gate Community Center to meet with volunteers.
After that, she'll go to the Inn on Fifth to host a fundraiser for her husband's campaign.
Workers at the Inn on Fifth are preparing for a very important guest – first lady Michelle Obama.
"She just seems pretty cool and down to earth she's really stylish and glam," said tourist Hazel Maguire.
Irish tourists Hazel and Shane Maguire checked out Thursday. They hadn't even heard of Michelle Obama's visit.
They didn't even realize the Secret Service was at the hotel.
"They've been pretty secretive about it," said Shane Maguire.
Security is extremely tight.
NBC2's Chad Oliver had an interview lined up with Phil McCabe, the owner of the Inn on Fifth on Thursday. At the last minute, the Secret Service stepped in and cancelled it.
The Secret Service didn't want any information getting out about Michelle Obama's visit, including where in the hotel the event is taking place.
Get out your cash if you want to go. Tickets for the reception are $1,000. If you want your picture taken with the first lady, it will cost an additional $4,000.
Party politics aside, home builder Michael Diamond says it's great exposure for Naples.
"We're Americans at the end of the day so I think it's a privilege to have whoever is in office to come to this area," said Diamond.
"It reminds people that we have an important election coming up," said Sharon Davies.
Davies says four years ago she spent up to fifty hours a week volunteering for the Obama campaign.
"Florida is a must-win and they really want Lee County and Collier County to come on board and have a big showing for the president," said Davies.
This week the first lady met with campaign volunteers in Des Moines, Iowa, something she's expected to do in Naples.
The first lady is expected to arrive at the Naples Airport at 3:15 p.m.

Pelini preaching for consistancy
Lincoln, Neb The Nebraska football team practiced for 90 minutes in the Hawks Championship Center and on the Ed and Joyanne Gass practice fields on Thursday in preparation for Saturday's game at Michigan.
Head Coach Bo Pelini spoke to the media after practice and said quarterback Taylor Martinez is out this weekend and Tommy Armstrong Jr. will start on Saturday. Pelini also talked about the interior offensive line.
"I thought (this week) went good (for them)," Pelini said. "We have a number of different combinations we can play. We feel good about it going in. We have a number of different options and you will probably see some different combinations throughout the game."
Pelini added that he hasn't determined a replacement for Jake Cotton but will review Thursday's film and talk with the offensive coaching staff. Additionally, Pelini was pleased with practice overall this week.
"It was good tempo," Pelini said. "Now we just have to put it to the test on Saturday. I thought we made some progress this week again. We need to play well, take care of the football and make sure we play more efficiently and with more consistency than we sometimes have at points. I know the guys are going to play hard. I think they are excited to play this football game and it's going to be a heckuva challenge going to Michigan Stadium."
Pelini also said despite the large stadium, the Huskers need to only focus on the game.
"At the end of the day, the field is going to be the same size," Pelini said. "There are a few more people in the stands. We have to block all that stuff out and just be ready to play. We have a lot of guys going on this trip that haven't been there before. We have a few that have. At the end of the day, there are going to be 110,000 people or whatever it is but they aren't going to be on the field. It's going to be 11-on-11 and that's what it's going to come down to."
The Huskers and Wolverines kick off at 2:30 p.m. Central.
