Understanding the prices behind your coffee
When we shop for our goods at the grocery store or order foods at our coffee shops or restaurants, we're often not aware of the different factors that go into determining the price for something like a cup of coffee.
Earlier in the year, there was a lot of news around the escalating prices for coffee, which have a lot to do with supply and demand.
The demand for coffee has always been high in developed countries like the U.S., but with several emerging economies —China, for example — the global demand for coffee has been growing. Some say this demand comes from the desire to emulate Americans and Europeans in their culture and beverages. Other countries that are showing rapid growth in demand for coffee include Brazil, India, Russia, and Latin America. The demand in Brazil has been growing so fast that it is expected to become the world's number one coffee consumer sometime next year.
While the demand for coffee has consistently been high, the supply will always be subject to a number of factors that can affect production. It takes a lot of work to grow coffee. Coffee plants themselves take five years to produce their first crop, and then will produce for about 15-20 years.
Coffee is typically grown in warmer climates, which proportionally, is where most developing countries are located. With the effects of climate change, farmers in these warmer climates have been impacted the most by climate change — a trend that is expected to continue. Examples of this were seen in the La Nina weather pattern in 2010 and continued into 2011 where coffee crops were affected throughout Columbia and Central America. Somalia is an example of an even more pressing concern right now around their food supply in general.
There are also a number of economic and social factors that can affect production. Due to real estate pressures in Kenya, many coffee farmers were pushed out of the business to make way for homes, which caused a spike in the price of premium Kenya AA Coffee.
With the current coffee market, even though prices are high, there is a wariness to invest in the industry. In a story by Daniel Harrington, he explains,
"In the current market there is a great wariness to increase investment in infrastructure and coffee planting programs due to a general distrust of the stability of the market and the current high coffee prices. These farmers and their associated governments are more often taking the approach that it is better to keep supply where it is to ensure continued high prices."
Encouraging this reduced supply to keep the prices high is not a safe course to take because it increases the scope of market fluctuation — and could potentially be all the more devastating in the case of economic downturn, or disruption in production.
Farmers must cope with these fluctuations in yield and in global market prices. While some farmers may benefit from increased prices, this often means that producers elsewhere in the world might suffer in the form of failed crops. And in the case that nobody's crops fail, the price for coffee will drop and every grower will suffer.
The effects of speculation further amplify this situation. As the demand for a commodity increases, distributors begin to overstock in fear of a shortage — which dramatically increases prices. The rising prices also attract investors who seek high returns. These investments create an artificial amount of cash that is invested in the commodity and creates prices that are altogether separate from the production process. Much of the increases in world market prices have more to do with investor behaviour, rather than producers. These artificial prices create huge risks on the marketplace for producers in that they are subject to volatile swings created by investors.
What's more is that during the high times, farmers are still unlikely to reap any benefit from the increase in price. Often, it is the middlemen and the brokers who make more money.
Read more on the economics of coffee.
As we work to build more responsible relationships however, we seek to mitigate these fluctuations and to create more stable incomes for producers. Not only do these practices seek to ensure that producers receive a fair wage for their crops, but they also work to reduce the effects of price fluctuations. In the case where there is an excess in funds, this money is invested in communities and production practices, to improve working conditions, ensure productivity, and to increase yields to meet increasing demands.
We see these economic practices and take them for granted in developed countries. In the form of agricultural subsidies, farmers in developed countries often receive a significant amount of money from their national government to mitigate for poor growing seasons, to support the nations agriculture industries, and to stay competitive in the world market. While these programs exist for many countries, there is no global system that provides these types of services for farmers in developing countries. Fair Trade aims to improve this.

As an Australian I'd like to congratulate the Team USA fans on their win over the Boomers in the Olympic basketball tourmament quarter final match. As proud as I was of the Australian team effort through the first three quarters, we were simply outclassed by a better team in the end. Seeing the way the superstars sublimate their own personal games and rotate the ball to find the open man on multiple occasions was quite impressive.
Good luck for Team USA's push towards the gold medal.

Pursuing The Pure Vibe Dream
A message from the creator and owner Dominica Bay:
After travelling the world for 10 years working onboard cruise ships and visiting over 100 countries 2 factors became apparently clear, do not take your health and time for granted. When you are working a high stress job 80 + hours a week the only way to survive is to keep fit and healthy as moving is the #1 way to combat stress and disease. No matter how exhausted I was after pulling a 15-hour day in 4-inchstilettoes I always dragged myself up to the gym even if it was 10 or 11pm at night. It was my secret weapon and the one variable I could always rely on to stay healthy, focused and energized.
The most rewarding aspect about my job was that I was able to meet 4500 new guests from around the globe every week. I found this experience truly inspiring as I witnessed energetic and happy men & women in their 40, 50, 60 & 70's remain highly active and as a result looking years younger! It was these guests that inspired me to keep fit and fueled my passion of helping others "feel better, look better and live better" and gave me the vision to create Pure Vibe. As I strongly believe everyone should move daily the #1 excuse I always hear is time, therefore I wanted to offer a product that delivered maximum results in a limited amount of time and was achievable for all ages and abilities. It was then that I discover the amazing fitness and health benefits of Whole Body Vibration and that you could actually receive a 1-hour workout in just 10 minutes! As someone that understandsmore than most what it is like to be spread thin with work and family life this was something that I knew would be amazing for everyone.
So after 10 years @ sea it was finally time to turn my dream into a reality and that is why I moved to the world's leader in fitness, health and preventative medicine, Palm Desert, California. In the Desert I had the cutting edge experts and resources at my fingertips. I was able to enrich my fitness and health training with the most current trends and hit all the major fitness and health expos in the surrounding area from Vegas to Scottsdale to Anaheim & beyond. I was on a mission to learn all I could and research the best quality and highest performing Whole Body Vibration Machines to offer my clients. After trying all 41 machines on the market I finally discoveredHypervibe and knew it was "the one" as is outperformed any other machine in its class and delivered maximum results. Hypervibe were one of the few companies that have scientific research to back up their claims supported by the most experienced, passionate and knowledgeable team. Although I had been training with WBV for quite awhile and happy with the results I couldn't believe the difference when I started to train on Hypervibe. Not only did I feel way stronger and energized but I started to notice a huge improvement in my daily yoga practice and my running.
I was able to get way deeper into my postures and finally able to complete a series of 1/2 Marathons which I never thought was possible. In addition I noticed an abundance of health benefits such as; increase circulation & bone density, better regularity and sleep, weight loss, and it decreased my recovery time and helped prevent injuries. I knew that having the right machine and using the correct technique and alignment made all the difference and allowed me to reach my goals! Therefore more excited and confident than ever it was time to move home to the city that loves to move to offer the most advanced fitness & health product on the market, which delivers amazing benefits and results in just 10 minutes!
It starts with a willingness to try and an open mind to change but when you do no matter what your age or ability I promise you will see results and never look back. Helping others is an honor that I look forward to daily and when you visit Pure Vibe I guarantee that you will always "Feel Better, Look Better and Live Better!"
To your health and warmest regards,

"I run and practice daily yoga but I could feel that I needed to increase my strength but didn't have time to spend over an hour at the gym and that is when I discovered Pure Vibe. What I love is how convenient it is to zip in for a 10-minute session before or after my yoga class or run. I have not only gotten stronger but I have increased my endurance and speed when I run and my practice has become so much more rewarding as I am able to get deeper into my postures due to my increased in flexibility. Pure Vibe was the missing link that now allows me to excel and get the results I want!"
Lucy Age: 32

"There is no way I could have finished my first triathlon without Pure Vibe. It warmed me up before I trained, increased my strength and endurance and was the key element to my post recovery, which has allowed me to stay injury free, thank you Pure Vibe!"
Mark Age: 58
"I love spending time with my grandchildren but as they got older I started to develop osteoporosis. I was in a lot of pain and worried about having a fall so I started visiting Pure Vibe. Not only have I gained bone density but also I have developed strength, balance and flexibility. I can now get back to doing what I love and I have never felt better!"

HoopsHype Ekpe Udoh rumors
If the new Warriors regime hasn't been exciting enough already, Jonathan Givony of Draftexpress.com reports that the Warriors have offered Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins and Ekpe Udoh for Dwight Howard. Givony adds that it is "unlikely that'll get it done," which I interpret as the Warriors package is pretty worthless. If the Magic are in rebuilding mode, being strapped with two long-term deals in Ellis and Biedrins, a combo that has not won many games together, is hardly the way to go. And Udoh clearly has not and probably will never project as the next in line of great Orlando Magic centers. SB Nation
Tim Kawakami: If GSWs want to put Biedrins into any mega-offer, more power to them. But adding Biedrins' remaining $27M massively reduces value of offer. Twitter
Udoh happily wears his Dora the Explorer backpack - part of rookie hazing - everywhere. He eagerly gathers food from favorite establishments for the experienced players whenever asked, and he has started to find his way around the Bay Area without his car's navigation system. "At first, it was hard, because I still had my cast on and I was trying to find my way," said Udoh, who has family and friends come to his Oakland hills home in four-day increments to help with the transition. "Now, it's easier, because this has become home. Everything is coming along, and I'm looking for a huge offseason." San Francisco Chronicle
At some point prior to the team's pre-game meeting, which happens before they take to the court to tip-off, coach Keith Smart had a one-on- one conversation with his starting center Andris Biedrins. In the talk, he told Biedrins he was starting rookie big man Ekpe Udoh at center. Biedrins, who has been struggling mightily lately, would come off the bench. Guess how Biedrins' reacted. BIEDRINS: "Before the game, I just really cursed out the coach, first of all. I almost didn't go on the court. Then guys were saying 'c'mon, c' mon. It would look bad for our team. So I went out there." Contra Costa Times
Yes, he is joking. Biedrins' reaction was actually the polar opposite. He was accommodating and humble. Then after the game, he spoke candidly about the situation, revealing his insecurities and lack of confidence. One thing is for sure, Biedrins' struggle is mental and he is frustrated with himself. Contra Costa Times
Lacob suggested he'd like to see coach Keith Smart give rookie Ekpe Udoh more minutes and institute a steadier substitution pattern. "There are times that I do not understand it," Lacob said of Smart's playing rotation. "He's a very cerebral guy. There's a method to his madness to this point, I think. There are times I don't quite get it, and I think he's still trying to work the kinks out, trying to understand what he has." San Jose Mercury-News
Still, the Warriors sit at only 13-21 on the season. Injuries have played a part of that – Curry, Lee, and Andris Biedrins have all missed games – but it's also because Riley recognizes there is still work to be done. "I do feel like we are one really good player away from being able to compete for the playoffs now. I like Ekpe Udoh as a rookie and I think he's going to become a good player, but he needs experience. He missed almost two months of the season and never had anything in summer league and never had training camp, so we don't quite know what we have there but we like what we see." HoopsWorld
Rookie forward Ekpe Udoh will make his NBA debut tonight against Miami, a month earlier than expected after surgery on his left wrist. "I'm ready to go," Udoh said Thursday. "Yes, sir. I've been working hard. If I get the opportunity, if my name is called, I'm going to give it my all." Oakland Tribune
Art Garcia: Warriors front office hopes to get rookie Ekpe Udoh back in next 2-3 games. Twitter
Brandan Wright's chronically cranky back notwithstanding, things continue to look up on the Warriors' front line. Not only is David Lee back from injury, but it also appears first-round draft pick Ekpe Udoh may be joining Lee soon. After a re-examination of Udoh's surgically repaired left wrist Monday, the 6-foot-10 power forward was cleared to increase his activity level, which will consist of portions of practice, including some live action and competitive drills. "I'm excited, it's a blessing," said Udoh before Tuesday's game against San Antonio. "I'm looking forward to just being able to go up against some bodies. I can run up and down today, but now I can really get in the jungle." San Jose Mercury-News
Ekpe Udoh has been cleared to increase his basketball activity and will travel with the team on its upcoming five-game roadie, the Warriors announced Thursday. After meeting with Dr. William Green, Udoh's surgically repaired wrist has been deemed healthy enough to allow nearly everything -- shooting, dunking, dribbling -- except catching passes. He didn't give a timeline for his return, but you've got to start thinking the No. 6 overall pick will be back sooner than the worst-case-scenario, which was after the All-Star break. "It feels great," Udoh said of his wrist. "The only thing is getting strength to return to the arm. My legs have gotten real strong, so now I've got to work on my upper body." San Francisco Chronicle
The frustration was practically tangible when he got the news soon after coming to the Bay Area. He will not, curiously, discuss the origin of the injury. He will only say that he was "really down" the time and is doing better emotionally now since he gets to spend time around his new teammates. The Warriors camp opens on Sept. 27th and he will can still have a successful 2010-11, truncated as it may be. "I want to get back January, February," Udoh said. And then? "I'm going to shoot out. I'm going to everywhere when I get that chance. Practice, whatever. You're gonna miss the game. When I get out there, I'm just going to be an animal." NBA.com
But, if the schedule holds and Udoh makes it back somewhere close to the All-Star break, he can still log meaningful minutes; the season isn't washed out now. He can still play with one of the other power forwards, particularly given Lee's experience as a center with the Knicks and the Warriors propensity for smallball. "I know I'm going to be back," Udoh said. "It wasn't a career-ending injury. When I come and work out, I've got to put in work as if I'm playing in the first game... Coming in extra. Coming in early, leaving late. Just because I'm injured doesn't mean I've got to be disconnected from the team." NBA.com
But it will be a while before he's back on the court. Udoh had surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist in July and is expected to miss about six months. That means he could make his professional debut sometime after the calendar turns to 2011. "I haven't started rehabbing yet. I'm just working out, focusing on my core and trying to get stronger," he said. "It was tough at first once it happened. But I realized, this is going to happen in my career. I've just got to take it and get better." FOXSports SouthWest
Developing a stronger core is something he feels will pay big dividends once he does return to the court later this year. "I won't be back until January or February. The biggest adjustment will be the speed of the game and the physicality," Udoh said. "I'm working on that now with my core and my lower legs. Those are the two things I've got to work on to be able to adapt to the NBA." FOXSports SouthWest
Ekpe Udoh surgery on his left wrist was successful. He's out for 6 months. His left wrist will be immobilized for 10 weeks Twitter
Warriors rookie power forward Ekpe Udoh will have surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist. It won't be known officially how long he is out until after the surgery. But based on the type of surgery, 4 to 6 months is the ballpark, which has been reported. Rehab usually takes about three to four months after the surgery. But it all depends on how well the surgery went and how well the wrist heals. Contra Costa Times
The Warriors won't announce the extent of No. 6 overall pick Ekpe Udoh's left wrist injury until they get a second opinion Monday. Early indications, however, are that Udoh will need surgery and will miss 4-6 months. "It's unfortunate, but I've got to take it," Udoh said. "It's hard on me, but I've got a chance to learn the offense and work on my body until I can come out and show what I can do on the court." San Francisco Chronicle

Productivity growth in agriculture enables farmers to produce a greater abundance of food at lower prices, using fewer resources. A broad measure of agricultural productivity performance is total factor productivity (TFP). Unlike other commonly used productivity indicators like yield per acre, TFP takes into account a much broader set of inputs—including land, labor, capital, and materials—used in agricultural production. ERS analysis finds that globally, agricultural TFP growth accelerated in recent decades, largely because of improving productivity in developing countries and the transition economies of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
During 2001-2010, agricultural TFP growth in North America and the transition economies offset declining input use to keep agricultural output growing. By contrast, declining input use in Europe offset growing TFP, resulting in a slight decline in agricultural output over the decade. In most regions of the developing world, improvements in TFP are now more important than expansion of inputs as a source of growth in agricultural production. Sub-Saharan Africa is the only major region of the world where growth in agricultural inputs accounts for a higher share of output growth than growth in TFP.

A fight over how much women are paid compared to their male counterparts has reached a fever pitch in the Congressional District 2 race.
The heart of the argument isn't about the proposed political solutions to address the wage disparity between the sexes, but the mathematical formulas used to calculate the gap.
Both Republicans and Democrats charge that the other party is using flawed math to back its underlying arguments.
The Republican National Congressional Committee fired the first shot complaining about bad math shortly after an Op-Ed piece by Rep. Ron Barber in the Star April 15, saying it was "inexcusable" that women were still being paid less than their male counterparts more than a half-century after joining the workforce.
Barber's piece relied heavily on a statistic used by the White House, comparing the median salaries of all men working full-time for a full year to their female counterparts.
The RNCC used the same math with Barber's congressional staff, calculating the disparity for the 10 employees working in his office last year full-time for the entire year
The NRCC says that using the White House formula, it found that the Tucson Democrat is not paying his female staffers as much as their male counterparts.
Barber is paying women roughly $8,950 a year less their male counterparts, said NRCC Regional Political Director Annie Kelly.
"Ron Barber should be ashamed," said Kelly. "If Barber truly believes this is how to measure gender inequality in the workforce, shouldn't initiatives to close the gender gap start in his own office?"
Barber campaign spokeswoman Ashley Nash-Hahn said the Republicans are the ones using fuzzy math, choosing to cherry-pick which staffers to include in their underlying analysis.
Releasing data for the equivalent of 21 full-time employees — 13 women and eight men — found that women earned about $5,874 a year more than their male counterparts.
Barber has 16 full-time employees working in his three congressional offices.
Both sides use the strategy outlined by the White House comparing median salary information collected by the U.S. Census Bureau. However, the Barber campaign calculated the figure by including staffers who worked in his office for less than a year.
RNCC officials argue they are not manipulating the numbers, but simply applying the same national standards used by the Obama administration.
Currently, Barber's three highest-paid staffers are women.
Jennifer Cox, Barber's chief of staff, makes the most, collecting $107,400 annually. Cox is also largely responsible for hiring and salary decisions in Barber's congressional office.
The RNCC says Barber — who continues to discuss the issue while campaigning — should retract his Op-ed piece since it is based on a flawed figure.
Nash-Hahn said the partisan attack is designed to distract voters from the underlying issue and stands by Barber's support for the Paycheck Fairness Act.
"Ron Barber will not waver in his support for equal pay for equal work, because it's a serious issue in our economy," said Nash-Hahn. "Women earning less than men is a fact based on analysis of millions of people in our workforce, and it hurts middle-class families across America."

The ZOA's $10 million aliya campaign in 1920 had its ups and downs.
January 13, 1920 issue of 'The New Palestine'

Part of that sum would be used to assist in aliya all over the world. In addition, in the US, there were those in the 20-45 age bracket who were prepared to follow the suggestions of the Jewish Legionnaires returning from their tour of duty there. These veterans said proudly, "Very soon after we settle our personal affairs, we intend to return to Palestine to live." The Pittsburgh Jewish Criterion noted "a portion of those Legionnaires who remained in Eretz Israel will be colonists at the new Balfouria settlement and the others journalists and social workers."
The Palestine Restoration Campaign was born at the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) convention in Chicago in early December 1919. Judge Julian Mack was the president and Justice Louis Brandeis was the honorary president of the major US Zionist organization. Between them and Judge Felix Frankfurter, they were able to motivate the 600 delegates to get the drive under way by delineating its 11 objectives: A campaign against malaria before any immigrants arrive; the purchase of lands by the Keren Kayemeth Le Israel-Jewish National Fund and the Zion Commonwealth; afforestation to stop the sand, aid rainfall, provide timber; extensive support for water conservation and wide-scale irrigation; aid for public welfare and communal organization groups; improvement of housing conditions; development of sanitation and drainage in cities and towns; survey and development of natural resources; assistance for the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; improving the Hebrew school system in Palestine; and setting up technical laboratories for agriculture and industry.
With the call to the delegates and to the Jews of America of "let us rise up and build," the cover of the ZOA's January 13, 1920
New Palestine
newspaper, founded the previous month as the official organ of the ZOA, carried a full page illustration highlighting in picturesque drawings what the $10 million 1920 campaign could accomplish.
Most of the artwork reflected the list cited above. The artist was E.F. Sapakoff, a devoted member and supporter of the ZOA.
"The development will require vast sums of money, which only the Americans can provide at this time since the Europeans are still suffering from the war," the newspaper's editorial said.
The New Palestine
emphasized "that all differences of opinion within the movement and concerning the movement must be forgotten so the campaign can be successful."
The final step in preparation for the campaign occurred on January 17, 1920, a Saturday night.
Thousands gathered in New York – 3,500 workers gathered for a briefing, 1,500 were in Manhattan at the Pennsylvania Hotel, 1,000 gathered at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple, and another 1,000 met at Pythian Hall in the Bronx. "They left these meetings with orders in their pockets and a renewed ardor for the big job of combing New York City for $3,500,000." They did not raise every dollar they sought, but The New York Times reported that "over $2 million was raised by the inspired Zionist members."
Various notables sent messages. Nathan Straus, after whom the city of Netanya was later named, was a well-known figure because of his efforts in the field of pasteurization and for the health clinics he had built in Jerusalem. He was asked to be Honorary Chairman of the National Committee of the Palestine Restoration Fund and he replied: "To wish you success would be like wishing myself success – you know how fully I share all your noble aspirations for the Jewish people."
Since Brandeis worked behind the scenes in all these efforts, he hoped that the two major fund-raising bodies in the US would unite. A meeting was held in New York at Reform synagogue Temple Emanuel between Joint Distribution Committee leaders and ZOA leaders in December 1919.
The mediator was the noted leader Jacob Schiff. For a time it appeared that the JDC would join the ZOA in its campaign. Then Julius Rosenwald, founder of the Sears- Roebuck stores, came out against this plan.
"Many Jews who are not Zionists contribute to the JDC. Unfortunately, these will refuse to contribute when they know that a part of the money is to go for Zionist purposes," he said. The unity failed, as the American Hebrew newspaper reported, but the ZOA went forward with its $10 million campaign.
Clearly, a number of American Jews were not ready to support a Jewish homeland.
Truth to tell, it was Hitler and the Nazis who finally aroused them.
In the January 1920 issue of
The New Palestine
, there was a major article on aliya titled "Plans formulated for a scientific control of immigration into Palestine: Emigrants being registered and classified for their own good and for Palestine's." In spite of the fact that aliya was crucial to develop the country, the Zionist movement wanted to be careful not to permit just anyone to move to the homeland. On the one hand, there would be receiving stations in Haifa for registration purposes to assist the movement of immigrants to various parts of the country. Moreover, hospitals and quarantine stations would be built for them. Yet, on the other hand,
The New Palestine
reported that "Zionist officials point out that the difficulty of restraining wholesale immigration to Palestine from all parts of the world is becoming an acute problem."
Sadly, the 1920s began with opposition from some quarters to having the largest aliya possible.
These telling lines in the "scientific control" story made the point very clearly.
"This elaborate system of handling and checking immigration has been devised, it was explained by the London Zionist office, to guarantee that only persons perfectly fit, physically and otherwise, to live in Palestine, will comprise the pioneers whose duty it will be to reclaim the country, and that will be evenly balanced as to professions and occupations so that there will be no dearth of overabundance of any kind."
Fortunately, a few months later in the fall of 1920, Herbert Samuel became the first high commissioner of the British Palestine Mandate. With his encouragement immigrants came to Palestine in the Third and Fourth Aliyot in great numbers throughout the '20s.
At the beginning of 1920, it was reported that 6,000 applications had been filed by American technicians, engineers, teachers and others willing to help build Jewish Palestine, but very few of them ever came.
They could not leave the US in the Roaring Twenties. One Jewish Legionnaire who did return was Gershon Agronsky, later Agron, in 1923. In 1932 he founded
The Palestine Post
, now
The Jerusalem Post
Dr. M.J. Wissotsky and his wife from Los Angeles tried aliya for a few years. In a letter from 1922, he wrote this touching description of Jerusalem: "When I came to Jerusalem all my plans changed. After I walked around for a few days on these narrow crooked, hilly, stony, funny and in the same time most wonderful streets where every stone speaks to you of our forefathers... I realized we were here for good."
On Israel's 64th we are all here for good.
In honor of Danya Benovitz of Jerusalem.

8 Containers & Lids (1/2 CUP / 4 OZ)
These little guys provide big protection so you can help keep the food you love fresher, longer. Great for taking small snacks on the go, the tight-sealing lids lock in freshness and prevent messy leaks. And they're microwave-, freezer- and dishwasher-safe, too.
I use these for condiments. I pack salads for my lunch often, and I can tote my vinegar and oil with no worries of leaks. They are the perfect size so no worry about if there is room in the breakroom fridge.— Mindi
My kids love to take fruit salad or pasta salad for school lunch. These containers work perfectly for this.— Lputnam

Happy Friday, strangers! I can't believe I haven't posted since LAST YEAR haha. Can you believe it's already January!? How is everyone coming along with their resolutions? I didn't make any but the intentions I set for this year have been serving me well as evident by my absence in the blogosphere. I'm rarely on my phone or computer (unless it's to take pics of my adorable munchkins) and I've been getting up every morning before the kids to meditate and practice yoga which has really helped me with staying mindful and present throughout the day, even when my day gets crazy and I want to gauge my eyeballs out Oedipus-style.
Sorry to leave you with that icky visual right as I'm about to share a recipe, haha.
Speaking of this recipe, it's one of those too-delicious-not-to-share recipes that I save after long hiatuses from the blog in hopes of redeeming myself. It's ridiculously easy to make, especially if you prepare a lot of it ahead of time, and it's just so darn good the whole family will thank you.
You can use a can of store bought enchilada sauce but I used homemade enchilada sauce I prepared during my weekly food prep. We alternate enchiladas, tacos, or fajitas every Tuesday so I use an hour on Sunday to prep sauce, cut bell peppers (for recipes or snacks), shred chicken, and prepare other items for the rest of the week. Anyway, I've made this before using store bought enchilada sauce and it was just as delicious so if you're looking to save even more time, by all means, feel free to bust out that can of red sauce.
So here's what you'll need:
1 cup shredded chicken (you can also leave this out to make it vegetarian)
1 red onion
2 tbs minced garlic
1 green bell pepper
1 large tomato
1 cup frozen corn
1 can of black beans
1 can of crushed tomatoes
2 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce (or a 14oz can)
1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
Salt and Pepper to taste
To garnish:
2 cups shredded cheddar
2 chopped avocados
Diced green onion
And here's what you do:
1. Set your slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours (depends on how slow your crockpot cooks).
2. While you wait for your crockpot to heat up, chop your veggies! Chop your tomato, bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces
3. Pour your veggies into crockpot. Add the rest of the ingredients: garlic, drained beans, corn, canned tomatoes, quinoa, salt and pepper, and enchilada sauce.
4. If you're using uncooked chicken, add to the crock pot. If it's cooked and shredded already, add right before you serve and garnish with fresh avocado, cheese, and green onions.
5. Stir everything together and that's it!
And there you have it, a delicious and hearty bowl of enchilada chili that took less than 30 minutes to prepare. You can just toss everything into the crockpot in the morning, and then come home later to a hot pot of protein packed enchilada chili. The quinoa puffs up nicely and absorbs all of the flavor and thickens the sauce perfectly. But if you find your sauce too soupy, add a tsp of corn starch or flour and then stir into the sauce until it thickens up.
Isn't it just so easy!? And it's definitely toddler approved ;)
I served the chili with Mexican cornbread topped with honey butter and we were pretty much in food heaven. I swear it was one of the most quiet dinners we've had in awhile because we were all too busy scarfing this down to talk, haha. Yea. It's THAT good.
And that's all I've got for you today, folks! Any fun weekend plans?
I'm trying to coax some friends to try out a pole dancing class in Nuremburg and that's about it. I've taken pole classes before at Bragg and LOVED it, I just need to convince the girls here that it's not as scandalous as it sounds, haha. The husband is working yet again on another 4 day weekend so…womp, womp, that's about it for us!
Have a healthy, happy weekend! And TGIFREAKINGFRIDAY. Woot!

When I had my first child, I had lots of questions that I felt silly asking my doctor, friends or even family. Still, there are a lot of things new moms wonder about. And between the lack of sleep, adjusting to a new baby and not having a free minute to use the bathroom, it's normal to feel overwhelmed by the new mom demands.
Don't worry; I've been there. And now that I've had my third child, there is nothing I won't ask! Looking back here are 10 funny things that I wondered—often. I've put together a list of those "silly new mom questions" with all the answers you need in one spot!
1. When will the umbilical cord fall off? The umbilical cord can fall off anywhere from 10-20 days after birth. Until that time, make sure you keep it dry and clean. To clean it, moisten a cotton pad with rubbing alcohol and let skin dry. No tub baths yet.
2. How often do I apply diaper cream? Any time you see redness starting it's a good time to apply diaper rash cream. It's also smart to apply it before bedtime at night, simply because this is when baby will (hopefully) sleep for the longest stretch of time and it will help to block wetness from the skin. If you cloth diaper, you might not have to use it at all.
3. Is it normal for my milk-makers to hurt? Yes, it is completely normal in the few first weeks to experience pain for the first few seconds of a feeding, while the baby is trying to latch. The skin is getting used to being used as a milk factory nearly around the clock! Give it time and use lanolin cream as a skin protectant. If you experience severe pain call your lactation nurse or doctor.

4. How do I know if it's colic or there is something else wrong with my baby? Colic is a fancy word for the tummy ache that happens to babies because they have gas pains. Laying them on their backs and doing leg stretches can help; while some people swear by gripe water. They will grow out of it and it will get better. I promise.
5. How do I know if my baby is hungry and getting enough to eat? Breastfed babies will feed 10-12 times per day and formula fed babies 8-10. Don't wait until they're crying to feed them—that will actually lead to a frustrated baby (and in turn a frustrated Mommy too). During the first few days, it's important to feed them every 2-4 hours—even if that means waking them up to do so.
6. How many poopy diapers are normal in a day? Breastfed babies can have three or more poopy diapers in a 24 hour period. Formula fed babies will have at least one poopy diaper in a 24 hour period. And no, there isn't such thing as too many poopy diapers during the first few weeks.
7. What color should his poop be? Those cute little babies poo a wide variety of colors! During the first few days, it will be brownish-black in color. After that, breastfed babies lighten in color from black to brown to green to yellow. Formula fed babies tend to be light brown in color.
8. Does my baby recognize me? A newborn baby is born knowing its mothers voice. It actually takes the baby 15-20 days to recognize dad's voice outside the womb. Babies also have a heightened sense of smell and will recognize their mom in the dark. Don't worry; the baby will know exactly who you are.
9. When can I cut my baby's nails? Baby nails seem to grow at a faster speed than we can find our baby clippers. You do have to wait at least two weeks to cut them for the first time because they are actually paper thin and very sensitive. To avoid scratching, I've dressed my babies with onesies where the sleeves fold out into mittens.
10. My baby passes gas a lot. Is that normal? Should I change my diet? Sometimes, changing our diet to easier foods to digest can help if you are nursing. If your baby is on formula, a temporary switch to a "gas-friendly" blend might be helpful. But this isn't anything to worry about. Their digestive system is not fully developed and air that escapes is totally normal.
While there are many books written out there none can actually give you the parenting knowledge until you have a baby yourself. As my mom used to tell me: don't stress, and you'll figure out the rest.
What are some of your baby questions that you might be afraid to ask?

OhMiBod, the winner is ...
Posted at 1:43 PM Feb 16, 2010By Andrea Grimes
And submit you did! You Dolls are a wacky bunch--your kids are playing with your vibrators, airport security got handsy with your toys and one of you even taught your mom about masturbation. But one story won the majority of us Dolls' hearts with both content and style, and to that person, we award the OhMiBod vibrator.
Read her mortifying story after the jump!
Rivka had us ... rolling ... with laughter:
"Just this past Christmas, my boyfriend and I were staying over his parents house for the holidays. Such is the layout of their home that the dining room has a high ceiling, so while at the table you can look up and see the second floor hallway, or, while in the second floor hallway, you can lean against the railing and talk with the downstairs people. Did I describe that right?
Anyways, I was sitting around the table shooting the breeze with the parents; Obama this, weather that, yes the drive was nice. Boyfriend was in the upstairs bathroom, unpacking. I heard a dull thud, and then the sound of something rolling, rolling. And what do you think rolled across the bathroom tiles, out the door, into the hallway, and through the railing to land on the table directly below?
Coincidentally, since my vibrating friend's fall was broken by the dining room table, it is now broken. Could this be fate?
Rivka, allow us to replace your broken vibrator with the musically delicous OhMiBod Freestyle Vibrator! We'll be in touch to get your addy for prompt delivery.

Some are purely marketed towards children and will be abandoned once the kids get older. Others try to gain valuable lifelong customers by getting them hooked early.
So which brands do kids cherish the most?
Harris Interactive recently released the results of its Youth EquiTrend study, which determines which brands "spark the strongest recognition and loyalty" in the youth market (defined as 8-24 year olds, though age ranges vary per category).

So just what the heck is colic anyways? Well, it's defined as severe, often fluctuating pain in the abdomen caused by intestinal gas or obstruction in the intestines and suffered especially by babies. You know it best as insane screaming by your little bundle of joy.
But let's break colic down to something many of us experience: severe acid reflux or gas. The kind that makes you go lie down on your side while you try to control your breathing, hunched over in pain. It's extremely uncomfortable, right? Well, for your baby it's a dull, constant ache and extremely painful. Poor things.
Survival Options for Colicky Babies
1. Aloe is your baby's BFF. Yep, aloe isn't just for helping sunburns! Digestible aloe drink (do not—I repeat do not—drink the aloe lotion!) is safe and effective in soothing a baby's upset tummy and actually heals the digestive tract of blockages while soothing gas pains. Try mixing one teaspoon liquid aloe in 4 ounces of water (check with your pediatrician first, always).
2. Get your baby moving. Motion or constant movement is a calming sensation to a baby who is used to constant motion in the womb. So get creative and try driving your little one around the block before nap time or experiment with swings and vibrating-bouncing chairs. Do what you can to get them moving!
3. Make some (white) noise. Along with movement, noise in the womb is also a constant. Again, its all about his or her comfort level—and the womb is a noisy, bumpy place. Ever notice that your baby can sleep peacefully at a loud party but won't sleep a wink in a quiet house? White noise is best, such as a box fan, the dryer or a white-noise maker and even, in some cases, the vacuum. If you don't have something that makes white noise, hop to it!
4. Talk to your doctor. It's always a good idea to talk to your doctor if your baby is colicky. If you suspect allergies, you can try pre-digested formulas and consider switching to organic baby products. Breastfeeding moms can try to eliminate allergens from their diets as well. But be sure to talk to your doctor about what's best for your baby (and your sanity)!
Do you have a colicky baby or have you? How did you get through it? Share your experiences in the comments! —Jessica

- With more than 185 1st Place Open Wins
- With over 325 Open top 3 placements
All this with just 4 dogs? WOW…and we are just getting started!
To that end, over the past 30 months we have added 4 more potential champions to our developing kennel in the likes of Blast, Buddy & Jazz. See details on each under the "Our dogs" page.
Blast & Buddy come from the two best chocolate blood lines in the country. Their early accomplishments (collectively passing 17 of 18 Hunt Test) will certainly lead to some great off-spring. Wait until you see their pedigrees!
Indeed, we have been very blessed to say the least with some of the healthiest, intelligent pointing labs we could find. We have a support team of multiple awesome professional trainers / great friends, which share our unquenchable passion to help Black Ice Retrievers produce the most intelligent decorated pointing Labradors in the country.
We take that responsibility, investment and the extensive research that goes along with that goal, extremely serious. Sometimes we have waited close to three years across multiple repeat breedings just to get the exact one pick of the litter we desired. Such was the case in our selection of our developing Chocolate male named Mud Bud – "Buddy."
HRCH Black Ice's Carbon Copy of Ammo Mud Bud "Buddy" MH QAA
If you're interested in a pup sired by Buddy check out our "Up Coming Litters"page.
"Black Ice's Rainmakers Come on Baby Light My Fire" born 06/7/13
I am originally from the "Show me state," so seeing is believing. I grew up hunting ducks off of the Missouri & Mississippi Rivers in ST. Charles, Mo. where if your lab could not handle multiple marks and blinds, you and your dog were not invited back. We have some of the highest standards in the industry. While other lab kennels breed great grand children, grand children, & daughters of well accomplished dogs, we only have litters from dogs that are well accomplished themselves.
We prove that your puppy's immediate parents are highly intelligent are we just don't breed them like the majority of breeders do. Why do breeders promote puppies from unproven parents? Primarily two reasons; first they don't promote the parent's intelligence because it simply might not be smart enough to do advanced work and or the testing of the dog takes time, effort & investment.
BUYERS BEWARE! There are only two types of lab breeders; those that breed for quantity AND THOSE THAT BREED FOR QUALITY. You need to decide for yourself what type of buyer you are and then do your research.
Black Ice x Deuce litter of 8 whelped on 03/17/13
This industry is very competitive and you can buy a lab from just about any newspaper you pick up….but you get what you pay for. Our best customers are families who simply want the best possible dog for the dollar and take the time & effort to make the best informed buying decision possible.
Thank you for visiting our Web site. We hope you enjoy browsing all the details of our developing brand. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to reach out to us. Our contact information can be found on the About Us page. May God Bless you and your families.

Shooting incident mars Falmouth party
FALMOUTH, Trelawny - REVELLERS at last week's first anniversary celebration of Peppers Day Party, held at the Vibez Pizza Complex in Falmouth had their enjoyment cut short by a shooting incident.
It is not clear who fired the shots in the air inside the venue, but the scene became chaotic after scores of patrons, who scrambled for cover, jostled to exit the venue.
The day party, which is a relatively new concept to the Trelawny capital, was well attended by nattily dressed patrons who were apparently having a good time before the gunshots rang out.
Earlier, appearances from Fresh Look Models and music provided by selectors Map Head, Junior Killa and DJ Simon under bright sunshine, were well-received.
The entertainment continued well after sundown with live entertainment, featuring several Trelawny acts in the first segment. Mad Alien and Muffi Don highlighted the early goings.
The tempo stepped up a notch after Ryhme Minister was introduced to loud screams from the patrons. He was well- received as he reeled off selections such as Shub Out, One Umbrella, Killaz and Killaz, Push Forward, and Desert Eagles. The patrons went into a frenzy after Popcaan and Blade Steamers joined the Montego Bay-based deejay on stage.
Afterwards, singjay Alkaline was called on stage the crowd went wild as he launched into Respect the Veterans, My Life and Gyal Dem Bad, bringing the curtains down in the live performance segment.
It was moments later, while patrons were being entertained by the selectors in the jam-packed venue, that the shooting incident brought the party to an abrupt end.
After the stampede, empty bottles — some broken — footwear and other items were strewn over the grounds of the commercial complex, which houses several business entities, including Peppers Jerk Centre.

Freda on fishing: Striped bass have vanished
The striped bass fishing was not productive last week, as the species has not shown up in any numbers since superstorm Sandy.
Most boats spent a lot of time burning fuel and looking for fish. One day last week, four party boats were out and did not catch a single fish. For the most part, that's how the entire week went.
The strong northeast winds last weekend didn't help the situation, as it prevented recreational boaters — the ones who are able to get out — from leaving the dock. It's anyone's guess as to whether or not bass will show up before water temperatures get too cold. So for the next three weeks, you'll just need to keep trying to see what happens.
If you see diving gulls and gannets, that's a good sign. There might be bass chasing bait that the birds are targeting.
Surf fishing has been somewhat better, as anglers are catching striped bass on clams. At this time of year, stripers also should be hitting thin profile metals that imitate sand eels. Some of the most effective are AVA lures with green, black or red tails; Deadly Dicks; Tsunamis; and the Halco 70-gram Twisty. Fish the last three metals by replacing the treble hook with a single hook, and add a white or black bucktail.
Bottom fishing has rebounded much better than the striped bass fishing. Ling and porgies along with some cod and pollock make up the catch. Boaters are catching up to 30 ling and a dozen porgies per man.
The blackfish daily limit has increased from one fish at 15 inches to four fish at 15 inches. This regulation runs through Dec. 31.
This is the time of the year when some of the biggest blackfish can be taken on the inshore wrecks and reefs. It's not uncommon for all anglers onboard a party boat to get a limit, with several blackfish tipping the scales in the 7- to 11-pound range. Last season, many boats were culling through a catch of about 100 fish in a four-hour period.
* The New Jersey Outdoor Alliance has posted the following information for recreational boaters and anglers: "If you can't fish because your favorite access point, marina or dock is gone because of superstorm Sandy, Chris Zeman, New Jersey's representative to the Mid-Atlantic Marine Fishery Council, would like specifics. Mr. Zeman is writing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to get federal disaster aid for the recreational fishing industry, and is looking for the help of anglers.
"He's looking for recreational anglers to provide details as to where specific infrastructure damage has occurred. The reports should be one to two paragraphs, and include location and a photo.'' Email your reports to Chris Zeman at firstname.lastname@example.com. Type "Sandy's fishing-related damage" in the subject line, and include your name and town.
* Capt. Rob of the Sea Hunter out of Atlantic Highlands reports: "The Sea Hunter survived the storm. I took it to another location. Unfortunately, the Atlantic Highlands Harbor did not do as well. I'm not sure if we will be able to continue our fishing season fthis year. It will depend on if and when we can get back to the dock. For more information, call 732-291-4468, or go to seahunter.info."

R2I at CCI: University of Texas at Austin
CCI Phase I: Center for Molecular Tools for Conjugated Polymer Analysis and Optimization
This Phase I CCI will combine experimental and theoretical approaches to understanding the relationships between the molecular, mesoscale and bulk properties of neat conjugated polymers. The CCI team will test the theory that intra- and inter-polymer chain interactions give rise to macroscopic materials properties in predictable and systematic ways. The CCI will focus on the molecular origins of the bulk properties of polythiophene and other conjugated polymers that may be useful in a variety of electronic and photovoltaic applications.
The Center for Molecular Tools for Conjugated Polymer Analysis and Optimization will offer a unique educational and professional training environment by integrating spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, microscopy, synthesis and theoretical approaches. The Center will also promote the participation of a diverse group of future scientists and engineers.

Well folks, might as well just call this one the fight of the year poll. The sport gift wrapped some great fights in a gigantic bow and truly gave us a December to remember. There were at least three true fight of the year candidates in the month, and in just about every publication I've seen, one of those three fights actually was named the fight of the year. Even if every single fight can't be a FOTY candidate, there are still plenty of others that deserve some recognition as well, listed in the honorable mentions.
Humberto Soto UD-12 Urbano Antillon - Moved up to headline status of a small pay per view at the last minute, these two Mexican warriors produced Bad Left Hook's fight of the year. Both men stuck to what they do best - Soto as the boxer-puncher, Antillon as the slugger - and did not let up for twelve full rounds. More often than not, Soto was able to come out of the round as the winner by a small margin, but as the fight wore on, Antillon continued to get stronger even as he grew more bloodied. As with the other two fight of the month candidates, there were some serious dramatics here as Antillon seemed that he may come from behind to pull off the knockout win. Several of his shots in the 11th and 12th seemed to hurt Soto, but Soto fought fire with fire, ensuring that the action didn't stop at any point in the fight.
Abner Mares SD-12 Vic Darchinyan - In a fight that drew a lot of parallels to Pacquiao-Marquez I, this brought us a matchup between two boxer-punchers, one of whose trademark is to be aggressive and fire punches from all angles, while the trademark of the other has become smart counterpunching with the ability and willingness to brawl when need be. Like the other fight, Mares had to overcome a large deficit early, and the forces in the ring were largely conspiring against him. After a huge gash was opened on Mares's forehead due to an accidental butt in the first, Mares was knocked down for the first time in his career in the second and was probably wrongly deducted a point in the fourth. With the referee seemingly intervening at will to give Darchinyan's style as much of an advantage as possible, and with Darchinyan having a large early lead, Mares chose to war it out, with both fighters landing lots of hard, clean punches on each other in nearly every round. The suspense was palpable - could Mares, obviously the better boxer, overcome his early deficit? Could he avoid getting the fight stopped due to the cut? Could he get Darchinyan to slow down and lay off the pressure? After about eight rounds of back and forth action and about six consecutive rounds that either man arguably won, his body attack finally did start to slow down the much older Darchinyan, and Mares was able to overcome the Armenian's pressure, winning a very narrow decision in a fight it seemed he had won, but with a major risk that the cards could come out the other way.
Amir Khan UD-12 Marcos Maidana - Going into this bout, everyone who seriously follows the sport knew this was a battle of Khan's chin against Maidana's power and relentlessness. Both men brought everything they had to the table, and it created a great style matchup with a lot of momentum swings. Early in the fight, Khan looked out of Maidana's league, peppering him with bunches of lightning fast shots and knocking him down in the first round with a body shot that seriously debilitated the Argentine. By the fourth, however, Maidana figured out how to better cut off the ring and deal with Khan's speed. This led to stretches where Khan would clown Maidana with quick punches, followed by Maidana plugging away on the inside, nailing Khan with uppercuts almost at will. Khan's chin basically held up until the 10th round, when a right hand very badly hurt Khan and sent him into survival mode for two minutes. Khan managed to survive and even fight back into the last two rounds, and he took the close but clear decision.
Honorable mentions: Marco Huck SD-12 Denis Lebedev; Ramon Garcia UD-12 Omar Soto; Bernard Hopkins D-12 Jean Pascal; John Simpson UD-12 Martin Lindsay; Joseph Agbeko UD-12 Yonnhy Perez; Ed Paredes SD-12 Antonio Pitalua; Lateef Kayode KO-6 Ed Perry.

In their own words: 9/11 memories

The Redskins had a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter, but that was not enough to defeat the Cowboys. Dallas remains in the playoff hunt with the 24-23 victory and quarterback Tony Romo is a big reason why they are still alive. Romo led the team on two scoring drives to close the game, including the game-winning touchdown throw to running back DeMarco Murray. The Cowboys defense was even able to stop the Redskins on a last minute drive.
The Redskins were led by Kirk Cousins, who had a productive game. Washington also used Pierre Garcon a lot and he had one of the most productive games in Redskins history. Garcon caught 11 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately for Washington, the Redskins defense could not stop the Cowboys in the fourth quarter and Cousins failed to score on their last few drives.
Dawn Macelli of Blogging the Boys is happy that Week 17 will be a meaningful game for the Cowboys:
The situation that faces the Dallas Cowboys is far from ideal. At the end of the day they are still a mediocre team that is fighting for its playoff life. While there are plenty of unknowns facing the team, there is one thing that they have shown this season. That is that they are willing to get in there and fight. Will the home field advantage and a fighting spirit be enough? Who knows? I don't know about you, but with the way things have gone recently, my gut says that we are going to see a game that comes down to the final possession of the game. In spite of the public impression of Tony Romo, I certainly hope that he has the ball in his hands.
While there will be much virtual ink spent over the pending showdown, for now I am just going to sit back and savor the fact that for the third straight year the Cowboys enter week 17 playing for something other than just pride. They've gotta pull one of these things out eventually, right? Why not this year?
Sean R. Patterson of Hogs Haven lamented the Redskins loss:

Facts about Lowell
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
My name is Lowell!
Lowell's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
He's a precious! The pictures don't do him justice, so watch the video if you can. Still young, he's got a lot of kitten in him. He's playful and affectionate...and really pretty. He's comfortable with my three dogs and the houseful of other fosters. Secure in nature, he's always in the middle of things. Lowell will make a wonderful pet. You can visit Lowell at the Murrieta Petco.
Kittens adopted through FUR will be vaccinated, spayed or neutered, tested for Felv and many of them are microchipped prior to adoption. Typical Kitten adoption donations are $100, cash or cards accepted, sorry no checks. Please visit our website, www.felineundergroundrescue.com for an application. Email to email@example.com or call 951 325 5892
About Feline Underground Rescue
About Our Rescue Group...Feline Underground Rescue was created in order to fill a need in the Inland Empire community that exists because too many unwanted or abandoned cats and kittens are being needlessly euthanized in shelters. We have started this new nonprofit animal rescue group so that we can rescue many of these cats and kittens either directly from the shelters or before they are turned in to a shelter in order to save their lives, provide them the necessary medical care and prepare them for adoption.
Our adoptable cats and kittens will go to their FURever homes having been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, tested for Feline Leukemia, and treated for fleas and worms while being lovingly cared for in a network of foster homes and adoption centers run by volunteers. Potential adopters will be carefully screened via an application process which our Board of Directors will design with certain parameters to adhere to.
Our network of foster families specializes in nursing back to health the sick or underage kitties that often do not get the opportunity to be adopted in shelter situations. Volunteers of all ages and stages of life will be welcomed and trained in the areas they can comfortably provide their services to our organization in order to serve the community.

By reviewing the table below, you can classify your asthma severity based on NHLBI guidelines as either:
Your asthma severity is based upon the criteria described below. For example, if you are waking up two nights per month with cough or feeling short of breath, your asthma is in the intermittent asthma severity classification. If have symptoms two days per week, use your rescue inhaler two times per week, have a normal FEV1 between exacerbations, but wake up at night three times per week, your asthma severity is moderate persistent. Your asthma treatment will, in part, be based on your asthma severity.
Interpreting the Asthma Severity TableThe table uses the following criteria to determine asthma severity:
- Symptoms: How many days in the past week have you experienced chest tightness, cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing?
- Nighttime awakenings: How often due you wake up at night with chest tightness, cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing?
- Rescue inhaler use: How many times in the last week have you used your rescue inhaler?
- FEV1: What is your current lung function measured with spirometry? Unlike the other above symptoms, your FEV1 will not be readily available at home; you will need to ask your doctor when pulmonary function tests are performed.
