There has been a lot written about "The Human Cloud," and the benefits of crowdsourcing, crowdsolving, crowdfunding and more. I'm seeing a powerful trend emerging – the Expert Cloud.
Today, Crowdsourcing and its close relatives have become the new standard for collaboration on a massive scale. But is there something missing here, something like "Crowdcommunicating" can solve? Are the limitations to posting ideas via text and even uploading images and videos to communicate a solution for pitching a new project? What if real time communications were made intuitively available on existing crowd platforms, so people gathering could meet in real time, with real voices, and real video collaboration tools?
Henk van Ess, a college lecturer in online communications, had this to say about what emotionally drives individuals to participate:
Crowdsourcing is channeling the experts' desire to solve a problem and then freely sharing the answer with everyone.
The Expert Cloud is a more specialized and extremely valuable community or "Community of Communities" where the "cream of the crop" makes itself available for the exchange of talent and time – available "by the job" for corporations, entrepreneurs, incubators, investors and other entities and individuals seek extreme talent to bring new products and services to market, or to solve pressing social issues, or to just fix a quick PC problem.
Experts who are passionate about their insights love to share, and are often extremely articulate and animated presenters.
Today, communicating is still primarily asynchronous using email, blogs and other social channels. With Real Time Communications, the modalities become more immersive, and can provide a more richer, personalized, "in person" experience.
We've all used Skype, Go-To-Meeting, and other multimedia platforms but the ability to create a "one touch" live experience is becoming easier with technologies like WebRTC. Initiating a one-to-one voice and video conversation, and even one-to-many and many-to-many "virtual meet ups" becomes more intuitively accessible when baked into applications and web experiences.
Experts on the Expert Cloud, for example, can conduct live, real time discussions further energizing group creativity and the inexplicable magic of exchanging ideas verbally and visually – if that is the task at hand.
Imagine, for example, a digital company needs to tap into the world's expert on a certain category of software applications. They want to ask the expert to share his or her vision, but cannot afford to hire that expert as a consultant for a day, week or month. They are willing to pay a generous amount for a one or two hour "in person" discussion (virtually) before starting development and investing money to build something they hope focus groups and consumers will eventually like.
New RTC technologies are making this possible, through embedding of conversational tools inside web applications – eliminating what will feel like incredibly unnatural steps in a few years – reaching for a phone, dialing a number, setting up a conference bridge, or finding that information and "dialing into the bridge."
Companies might even take the Expert Cloud internal and develop pools of experts who could be on call to solve issues for employees or customers. Imagine your first day on the job cable installation technician wearing Google glass and being able to not only talk with a 20 year veteran who can instantly see what the tech is seeing and guide him to make the right changes for a smooth installation. Customer satisfaction is off the charts and the company saves a ton!
The humanization of intense and often complex conversations can make creative dialogue more intuitive, unlocking breakthroughs through real-time thinking, "in the moment." The context will be richer, the synapses more shared, and in short – we will become "closer" to what we naturally are as human beings.

About This Recording: Joseph Haydn was born in the village of Rohrau in 1732, the son of a wheelwright.

User's Review (By Franklin Bretschneider): Pisendel: Sparkling concertos Johann Georg Pisendel is a much underestimated (late) baroque composer. I haven't heard from him before until a concert announcement in my home town. I got curious, and found this album at ClassicsOnline.

User's Review: Beautiful 18th-century music The composer Gaetano Brunetti is scandalously under-represented in the music catalogues. This probably has to do something with the lack of modern editions of his music (he spent a long time writing for Charles III of Spain, and few works were ever published). Apart from the three symphonies here, I've only ever heard of (and heard) one other Brunetti symphony, a work in F major conducted by Newell Jenkins... Read more

Times have changed. Recently, when I heard of a young lady being robbed on the campus of the University of South Carolina, I was not surprised. Since the time was early morning -- about 1 or 2 a.m. -- and she was walking alone, she had certainly not used care. Then I had to laugh because I, in the '80s, attended night classes there. When I parked the car after driving from Camden, the location was far away and often along ill lit paths. When I parked, it was early afternoon; when I left after classes, night had fallen. I, however ...

On Tuesdays at Midway Elementary School, second-grade classes are often found being led by a special instructor. Kershaw County Deputy Mechelle Cobb enriches the students' usual social studies lessons with instruction on the importance of law enforcement in the community and strategies for dealing with conflict and bullying.

South Carolinians shouldn't be surprised to see the state rank poorly in yet another survey. It seems the Palmetto State is forever being relegated to the bottom tier in all kinds of indicators. Some of them, of course, don't have much validity. But the latest one, in which only five states are ranked lower than South Carolina in susceptibility to political corruption, is particularly unnerving because it's one that could be avoided with a modicum of care from legislators.

As with much of the mainstream media, your edition March 9 is a poster child for what is wrong with the mainstream media and possibly a plausible explanation as to why printed media has fallen onto hard times.

A fair presumption would be those that are not "journalists."

Our experience of 9/11 has changed; today it is seen as part of a journey and not an isolated event. On Wednesday, Sept. 10, President Barack Obama spoke to the nation saying the battle against terrorism is ongoing.
That awareness that we had gone through the experience of the fall of the Twin Towers and had rebounded, but the danger is not over, and the battle is still to be won was repeated by Senator Carl Marcellino at the Day of Commemoration at the Oyster Bay 9/11 Memorial Garden on the Western Waterfront on Thursday evening.
"Visitation is up 300 percent," said Harriet Gerard Clark, Raynham Hall Museum director.
"Two-thirds of them come because of reading the book by Brian Kilmeade, George Washington's Secret Six: The Spy Ring That Saved The American Revolution, and seeing the series 'Turn' on A&E," added Tom Valentine, docent, who keeps the list of visitors. Soon the series will include the story of Robert Townsend of Oyster Bay who was known as Culper, Jr. when he was a spy for George Washington.
Alex Sutherland, director of education, nailed his definition. "He was the most important spy for George Washington because he had the perfect cover. He was pretending to be a Loyalist and writing for a Loyalist newspaper and befriending British officers at his coffee shop in downtown New York while secretly collecting information.
As a fitness coach and a mother, Melissa Monteforte of Locust Valley knows how important it is to stay healthy, and how difficult it can be for women to make themselves, and their health, a priority. Wanting to help women take charge and feel more in control, she organized the Fit & Healthy Mamas Annual 5K run, now in its third year, which will take place on Saturday, Sept. 13 from 8:30 a.m. to noon at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow.
"I felt like running was the best outlet when I became a mother; it's such a great way to get fit and feel healthy and I wanted to share that with other moms," says Monteforte, 31. "I wanted women to feel celebrated, no matter their fitness level, and to put their health first."
This week marks the 13th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, and our community is still mourning the loss of several native sons and daughters. These men and women have been immortalized, however, as their names are engraved in the monument at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in lower Manhattan, which opened to the public this past May.
Locals who worked at Cantor Fitzgerald and were killed in the attacks include Joseph A. Kelly, 40, and Edward Joseph Papa, 47, both of Oyster Bay; Thomas Mahon, 37, and Christopher Paul Slattery, 31, both of East Norwich; Bernard E. Patterson, 46, of Upper Brookville; and Brooke Jackman, 23, of Mill Neck.
During the summer time, the James H. Vernon School Elementary School basketball courts are one of the favorite places for 13-year-old Matthew Byrne and his friends to play. Thursday, Aug. 28 was an extra special day at the courts as the Oyster Bay teenager and his friends participated in a two-on-two basketball tournament to support Birthday Wishes of Long Island. BWLI is an organization that brings birthday parties to children living in homeless shelters on Long Island.
Byrne got the idea for the charity event because he needed to perform a good deed as part of his Bar Mitzvah rite of passage.
The Hoffman Center is offering a private glimpse of native plants and wildlife, and a peek of a restored Gold Coast-era mansion through a guided tour on Saturday, Sept. 6 from 1 to 2 p.m. The invitation is extended to those who want to visit a slice of Nassau County history with a nature expert.
The Hoffman Center is a 155-acre area of meadow, oak-brush, forest and ponds, and the nature walk takes visitors through the mature and developing forest on a five-mile trail. The walk is an hour-long escape into nature where you will learn the history of the land, as well as about the native plants and wildlife that inhabit it.
Oyster Bay Town officials are mulling an override of the state's 2 percent property tax cap for the second consecutive fiscal year. On Aug. 12, the town held a hearing to approve local legislation, giving the Town Council authority to pierce the cap.
However, according to Marta Kane, a spokesperson with the Town of Oyster Bay, Supervisor John Venditto and the members of the Oyster Bay Town Council are not certain if they will entertain a repeat of last year, when the board adopted a $277 million budget, increasing the tax levy by $15,964,647—or 8.8 percent.
Dawn Riley, Oakcliff Sailing Center executive director, alerted locals in her newsletter that the two-masted schooner Virginia was berthed at the Oyster Bay Marine Center, Thursday, Aug. 14 and was worth seeing. The ship stopped off in Oyster Bay as they traveled from Norfolk, VA to New London.
The Virginia Maritime Heritage Foundation (VMHF) and Museum and their board member Steve Benjamin, formerly the owner of a sail loft business located in the Mill Pond House in Oyster Bay, invited people to tour the ship starting at 4 p.m. She was on the face dock at the Oyster Bay Marine Center. The ship is 121 feet long and painted black, so she was easy to see, berthed in the spot usually filled by Charles Dolan's Knickerbocker.
As school begins, the question first asked is always, 'What did you do this summer?' For tenth-graders Isabella Molinari of Laurel Hollow and Connor Lynn of Lloyd Harbor, the answer was simple: they helped other kids in a big way.
For 10 years the Lynn family has hosted children from the Fresh Air Fund, when 50 students are bussed out of the five boroughs for one week and have a chance to stay with a host family on Long Island.
There is a new psychic medium on the North Shore of Long Island to compete with the original "Long Island Medium," Theresa Caputo. Her name is Mary Drew and she has been working for more than a decade doing private readings. Recently, Drew has expanded her horizons and has been conducting readings at restaurants, public events and fundraisers.
"I discovered my ability to speak and to hear the deceased voices when I was 10 years old," said Drew, who grew up in Brookville and now resides in Glen Cove. "The first deceased person I had an encounter with was my grandmother and it was a very profound experience, to say the least."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
ISIS rises
The Iraqi army will have to destroy Mosul in order to save it -- and it's not clear whether it can do the job even then. It isn't so much an army as a vast system of patronage providing employment of a sort for 900,000 people. When fewer than a thousand ISIS jihadis fought their way into Mosul, Iraq's second city, over the past few days, most of the government's soldiers shed their uniforms and fled.
The government troops never felt comfortable in Mosul anyway, for they are mostly Shia Muslims, and the vast majority of Mosul's 1.8 million residents are Sunni. (Or maybe it's only 1.3 million people now, for up to 500,000 of the city's residents are reported to be fleeing the triumphant jihadis: Shias, non-Muslim minorities and even Kurdish Sunnis have faced execution in other areas that have fallen under the control of ISIS.)
The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (an Arabic word that can mean the entire Levant, including Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine) began as "al-Qaida in Iraq" during the American occupation, but it's the Syrian civil war that turned it into a regional threat.
ISIS actually spent more time fighting other rebel forces in Syria than the Assad regime, but it gained recruits from all the Sunni Arab countries just by being on the right side. It also got access to the money and arms that were flowing into Syria for the anti-government forces. In the past two years, it has established effective control over most of sparsely populated eastern Syria, and it started moving back into western Iraq in force late last year.
In January, it seized the city of Fallujah in Anbar province, only 100 kilometres west of Baghdad, and the Iraqi army was unable to retake the city, although it had suffered about 5,000 casualties, including 1,000 killed, by the end of April. But at least it stood and fought in Anbar. In Mosul on Monday, it just ran.
The only real fighting force left in Iraq is the Peshmerga, the army of the Kurdistan Regional Government. It is a tough, well-armed force, but it serves what is a separate state in all but name. It apparently still holds the part of Mosul east of the river Tigris, which has a large Kurdish population, but it may not be willing to take the large number of casualties that would be involved in street-fighting to recover the main part of the city.
ISIS has sent the occasional suicide-bomber into Kurdistan, but it realizes its main fight is not with the Kurds. Having taken most of Mosul, its forces are advancing not east into Kurdistan, but south through Tikrit (which fell Wednesday) towards Baghdad. It will not try to take Baghdad itself, most of whose seven million people are Shia, but by the end of this month it could end up in control of most of western and northern Iraq.
At this point the old Iraq-Syria border would disappear and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham would become a reality, extending 400 km from Mosul and Fallujah in Iraq to Deir-es-Zor, Raqqa and near Aleppo in Syria. It would be mostly desert and it would control only about five million people and almost no oil, but it would be ruled by an Islamist organization so extreme it has even been disowned by al-Qaida.
The remaining bits of the new regional map would be the western half of Syria, still largely under the control of the Assad regime; the semi-independent state of Kurdistan; and the densely populated, Shia-majority core of Iraq between Baghdad and Basra, hard up against the border with Shia Iran. None of this is yet inevitable yet, of course. It's a war, and wars can take unexpected turns. But it's certainly a possibility.
It's also a possibility the war could get wider, as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey all consider whether they need to intervene militarily to protect their own interests. But that's unlikely to happen this month. Later is anybody's guess.

Love this little unit!
Don't be surprised by it's small size or low price!
The UE Mini Boom sounds fantastic with subtle details and heavier bass. I c Don't be surprised by it's small size or low price!
The UE Mini Boom sounds fantastic with subtle details and heavier bass. I connect this device with my iPhone 5. Within each Mini Boom is a set of quality speakers.
The device overall was very easy to pair, and there is a manual on / off switch in the back.
Charging is simple with Micro USB and battery life has been superb - haven't run it all the way down but have used it for roughly 4 hours and iPhone stated the Mini Boom was at about half.
There are few buttons on this speaker which makes things simple, and the colors are attractive and modern. You can synchronize two Mini Booms together via the Ultimate Ears app for iOS. Haven't tried this feature yet as I only have one.
I highly recommend this speaker if looking for a quality entry level bluetooth speaker that is durable and adaptable. I use this as a line in with my PC between moves, a bluetooth nightstand speaker, and with my Android tablet.
I wish I had a few more of these! …

They Mean Mini BOOM
I was looking for a speaker that was portable, had great quality, and could be turned up really loud. Since I've been a musician f I was looking for a speaker that was portable, had great quality, and could be turned up really loud. Since I've been a musician for over 15 years and am about to graduate with a degree in music, I'm really picky about sound quality.
So when I went to the Apple store I told the guy what I was looking for and he immediately pointed me toward Ultimate Ears speakers. However, since I wanted something more portable I went with the mini and it's great using it in the car when you have a call come in. The sound quality was incredible and I loved how you could adjust the sound whether you're indoors or outdoors. The only drawback is that for some reason the music cuts out a little whenever I use my phone for something else. So I would suggest not locking it after a good 10 seconds or so after the song starts. Maybe it's just my phone (since it's only a 4 but it's brand new) or maybe it's just that bluetooth capabilities already diminishes connection a little. But other than that I love it and I'm very happy with my affordable (and portable) purchase! …

An amazing place to explore - Clarens is a beautiful town in a lovely mountain setting. The restaurants in the area are excellent, and there are lots of them to try out. The stores and art galleries have unusual items available, so it is a great place for shopping. Clarens is quiet and it was very relaxing to spend time there. There are walking trails, and it is highly enjoyable just walking around town because of the majestic mountains. We also visited the nearby Golden Gate National Park, with its incredible rock formations, as well as the Ficksburg Cherry Festival (about 1 hour away). Clarens is a great place for a soothing getaway!
Edmeston party - While the course is indeed challenging and the greens are in excellent condition, the fairways are almost non-existent.,we feel that charging premium fees for a round of golf on a course which does not have fairways is a bit much. Lovely clubhouse, friendly staff and the sandwiches we had were excellent.
Quaint and lovely - We really enjoyed visiting Clarens. The scenery is superb. The shopping was great fun and dining out was really good too
Refreshing - Hi people are very friendly, restaurant wide variety.
Lots of art galleries, national park is close 15 min.
It was a warm, friendly, clean town.
Beautiful - Beautiful Clarens.

Representatives from the Council for Quality Growth will discuss a controversial water conservation plan at the Dawson County Homebuilder's Association's Oct. 21 meeting.
There was a time when you had to travel outside the county for many products and services.
Dawson County is one of five counties awarded a $35,000 state grant to improve the local workforce.
The first leadership class in Dawson County was held in 1992. The Dawson County Chamber of Commerce and the local extension office of the University of Georgia co-sponsored the original program and continue that partnership today.
Less than 24 hours before a judge was to rule on a lawsuit aimed at stopping a proposed motorsports park in western Dawson County, the developer closed on the property.
Ann Mullinax covered her face with her hands Thursday when she learned she likely will have to close her child care center in downtown Dawsonville.
Dawson County Farm Bureau is collecting staple food items and monetary donations until Sept. 25., during the statewide Harvest for All Campaign.

Yvonne and Bill Bombardier were about to call it an early night.
Hayrides, hot dogs, hamburgers and a whole lot of fun are expected at the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce Annual Community Picnic next week.

Long before a federal judge threatened to limit water withdrawals from Lake Lanier, officials with the Etowah Water and Sewer Authority had begun making plans to build a reservoir in Dawson County.
The unemployment rate for Dawson and neighboring counties in the region continues to fall.
The job search has changed dramatically over the years. Advances in technology and the decline in the economy have changed the way people get hired.
A local charity clinic has opened the doors on its new dental clinic.
Advance voting begins Monday for the Nov. 4 election, which includes a referendum asking voters to extend Dawson County's 1-cent sales tax.
While the weather Monday morning was gloomy and overcast, that didn't stop Dawson County Chamber of Commerce members and friends from showing up to golf.
Unemployment continues to improve across the north Georgia region and officials believe the busy holiday shopping season will bring even lower rates in the coming months.

Do you believe this rating to be inaccurate or unacceptable for some reason?
Took me a while to get the hang of this low cost sax. Like most beginners, it was difficult to get even a sound out of this horn. Sounded mostly like a cow's f*rt! After practising correct mouth and hand positions and lip technique, I finally was able to get some usable melodies out of this saxophone. Took a few moths. Now what I had to do: Of course I had to buy 2,5 - 3 strength reeds. (The sax came only with one reed, soon chewed to pulp.) Also a good cleaning snake helped me to get rid of all the organic goo that invariably infests the innards. But the most important tip was (and is) to buy a good quality mouth piece. Well, a mouth piece might cost as much as the STS-75 sax, but I do not think you have to go that far. But still invest, like I did, some 40-50 euros on a decent mouth piece and you are good to go! With my medium-sized mouth piece and good medium strength reeds I can practise easily and even record some bits and pieces in my home studio. (Simple stuff, mostly two or three tone riffs, which I used to play on the keyboard.) The Startone STS-75 is good enough for me for the foreeable future. It might not be the most mellifluous of instruments, the sound being a bit metallic, but it works with rock music (think G. Thorogood & Delaware Destroyers!).

The extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller that has captivated over 1 million readers now also includes the bestselling short story The Julian Chapter.
I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can't get past Auggie's extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie's point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community's struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
"Wonder is the best kids' book of the year," said Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com and author of Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel "a meditation on kindness" —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

National Book Award Finalist
A new American classic from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Gilead and Housekeeping.
Marilynne Robinson, one of the greatest novelists of our time, returns to the town of Gilead in an unforgettable story of a girlhood lived on the fringes of society in fear, awe, and wonder.Lila, homeless and alone after years of roaming the countryside, steps inside a small-town Iowa church—the only available shelter from the rain—and ignites a romance and a debate that will reshape her life. She becomes the wife of a minister, John Ames, and begins a new existence while trying to make sense of the life that preceded her newfound security.
Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, and brought up by her in a hardscrabble childhood. Together they crafted a life on the run, living hand to mouth with nothing but their sisterly bond and a ragged blade to protect them. Despite bouts of petty violence and moments of desperation, their shared life was laced with moments of joy and love. When Lila arrives in Gilead, she struggles to reconcile the life of her makeshift family and their days of hardship with the gentle Christian worldview of her husband which paradoxically judges those she loves.Revisiting the beloved characters and setting of Robinson's Pulitzer Prize–winning Gilead and Home, a National Book Award finalist, Lila is a moving expression of the mysteries of existence that is destined to become an American classic.
Welcome to Trace Italian, a game of strategy and survival! You may now make your first move. Isolated by a disfiguring injury since the age of seventeen, Sean Phillips crafts imaginary worlds for strangers to play in. From his small apartment in southern California, he orchestrates fantastic adventures where possibilities, both dark and bright, open in the boundaries between the real and the imagined. As the creator of Trace Italian—a text-based, role-playing game played through the mail—Sean guides players from around the world through his intricately imagined terrain, which they navigate and explore, turn by turn, seeking sanctuary in a ravaged, savage future America.
Lance and Carrie are high school students from Florida, explorers of the Trace. But when they take their play into the real world, disaster strikes, and Sean is called to account for it. In the process, he is pulled back through time, tunneling toward the moment of his own self-inflicted departure from the world in which most people live. Brilliantly constructed, Wolf in White Van unfolds in reverse until we arrive at both the beginning and the climax: the event that has shaped so much of Sean's life. Beautifully written and unexpectedly moving, John Darnielle's audacious and gripping debut novel is a marvel of storytelling brio and genuine literary delicacy.
"In her arresting debut novel, Edan Lepucki conjures a lush, intricate, deeply disturbing vision of the future, then masterfully exploits its dramatic possibilities." ---Jennifer Egan, author of A Visit from the Goon Squad
The world Cal and Frida have always known is gone, and they've left the crumbling city of Los Angeles far behind them. They now live in a shack in the wilderness, working side-by-side to make their days tolerable in the face of hardship and isolation. Mourning a past they can't reclaim, they seek solace in each other. But the tentative existence they've built for themselves is thrown into doubt when Frida finds out she's pregnant.
Terrified of the unknown and unsure of their ability to raise a child alone, Cal and Frida set out for the nearest settlement, a guarded and paranoid community with dark secrets. These people can offer them security, but Cal and Frida soon realize this community poses dangers of its own. In this unfamiliar world, where everything and everyone can be perceived as a threat, the couple must quickly decide whom to trust.
A gripping and provocative debut novel by a stunning new talent, California imagines a frighteningly realistic near future, in which clashes between mankind's dark nature and deep-seated resilience force us to question how far we will go to protect the ones we love.

The Real Reason Wheat is Toxic
Standard wheat harvest protocol in the US is to drench the wheat fields with Roundup several days before the combine harvesters work through the fields [because] withered, dead wheat plants are less taxing on the farm equipment and allows for an earlier, easier and bigger harvest

Guess who foals first
We bred two of our standardbred mares to a Gypsy last October, and now we are spending all our nights waiting for their arrival. We will need some names. "R Bad Girl" is one mare, and "Linear" is the other. The name of the stud is "Cowboy."
Guess who foals first, with the hour and day. The due date was September 30th, so it can happen at any moment!!
One too many cats
I was up a little earlier than usual this morning, which apparently surprised one of the cats in our house. The thing is, we only have one cat. Any more than that is too many. This one — either a stray or just one of the neighbor's cats, I don't know; either way, it's apparently our cat's buddy — was just coming out of my bathroom where we keep the cat food, and I was just coming out of my bedroom. It saw me and casually strolled back into the bathroom. It probably then thought better of that move, fearing I was headed toward the bathroom myself — you know, to get some of that tasty cat food for myself — so it came back out and took off running past me toward the back pet door. The only problem is that dogs and cats just can't get any traction on our hardwood floors, so it was slipping and flopping as it tried to run as fast as it could.
It made it past me and out the pet door without a problem, probably because I just stood there, half asleep and half amused at what I was seeing. I couldn't see much this whole time because the house was almost completely dark except for the light from the master bathroom nightlight behind me and the nightlight in the "cat food" bathroom ahead of me. So, I wasn't entirely sure that wasn't just our cat, Sunny. It was only after I went into the kitchen to make coffee and turned on the overhead light that I saw Sunny sitting there alternately looking at me, then the pet door, as if to say, "Did you see that?! There was another cat in the house!"
As if she didn't already know that! I'm just chalking it up to life's way of preparing me for when my little girl starts bringing home unwanted boyfriends who will probably also want to eat my food.

Mighty Broccoli Sprouts Rapidly Detox Pollutants
The drink used in the China study was made with broccoli sprouts developed by researchers at Johns Hopkins University. They are sold under the brand name BroccoSprouts. They are widely available in supermarkets or you can sprout your own from seeds.
Broccoli sprouts can be eaten raw. They are great on sandwiches, in wraps or as a salad topping. You can also add some to smoothies.
And try serving them with broccoli. Studies show combining the two makes the anti-cancer effect almost twice as powerful.

It has been a little over a year since General Mills launched gluten-free Hamburger Helper and already it has been changed.
Hamburger Helper will no longer be gluten free because it is going to be processed in a different manufacturing facility that cannot be guaranteed to be free from cross contamination. The newly processed Hamburger Helper will not have the 'gluten free' label, but will be labeled "may contain wheat".I never tried any of the varieties of gluten-free Hamburger Helper because the flavor options weren't all that interesting to me, they were loaded with salt and it is frankly (more…)

One thing that can be missed on a gluten free (gf) diet is a burrito.
One idea is to leave the tortilla out of the picture entirely and just focus on the filling.
This "deconstructed" burrito casserole is healthy, family-friendly, and versatile. Once the rice and meat are cooked, it only takes minutes to assemble and about 20 minutes to heat. Dinner is served! (more…)

Was tuna casserole one of your favorite childhood meals? I just learned that my husband is wild for this classic comfort food. You know the one -- made with lots and lots of macaroni, canned tuna, mushroom soup, cheese, onions, peas and whatever else your mom might have had in the fridge that she wanted to get rid of. The classic tuna casserole was topped with crispy bread or cracker crumbs and no one ever seemed to complain about having to eat it. Yeah, that casserole.

This is a variation of a "veggies on the verge" soup. When you make chili, it's a good way to use up some of those vegetables in the fridge you are not sure what to do with. Go ahead and throw in carrots, sweet potatoes and celery if you have it. It will all taste good once it's cooked. The extra vegetables are not necessary but certainly add nutrients to the mix. You can also use this recipe to make tamale pie.
Read through the recipe first; it's easier to chop the onion and while that cooks, chop the other vegetables, hardest vegetables first to softest last. Serve it by itself, over brown rice, or even polenta for a complete (more…)

Travel insurance
If you're an EU citizen, an E111 form, available from health centres or, in the UK, post offices, covers you for most medical care. E111 will not cover you for nonemergencies, or emergency repatriation home. Citizens from other countries should find out if there is a reciprocal arrangement for free medical care between their country and Germany. If you do need health insurance, make sure you get a policy that covers you for the worst possible case, such as an accident requiring an emergency flight home. Find out in advance if your insurance plan will make payments directly to providers or reimburse you later for overseas health expenditures.

You're viewing the JDRF Walk general video. To watch Margaret's personal video, please use a device that supports Flash like a laptop or desktop computer.
Dear Family and Friends,
This year, I am raising money for the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes. JDRF is the only global organization with a strategic plan to fight type 1 diabetes (T1D). They'll do that by progressively removing the impact of T1D from people's lives until it is no longer a threat to anyone. I'm asking you to help support my fundraising efforts with a tax-deductible gift that will help make a difference in the lives of the millions of people with T1D.
T1D's onset has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. At present, there is also nothing you can do to get rid of it. People with T1D must manage the disease by injecting or pumping insulin several times a day, every day. Insulin is not a cure, and it does not prevent the possibility of serious complications like kidney failure, heart failure, blindness, and stroke.
Although I have been blessed to have received a life saving kidney/pancreas transplant, there are so many of my dear friends who have passed from the severe complications of the disease and others still suffering with them every day.
That's why I walk with JDRF - to help them fund research to discover, develop, and deliver new drugs and devices that cure, better treat, and prevent T1D.
I am committed to finding a cure for them and all the others living with this debilitating disease and you can help too by making a donation.
1743 N Wood St Chicago, IL 60622-1357Every dollar JDRF spends comes from donors like you! Any amount, great or small, helps JDRF get closer to finding a cure
Together, we can create a world without T1D!Sincerely, Margaret and David Nick
