Is it possible to be a health conscious chowhound....share some delicious recipes and tips
Eating healthy can be really boring and being completely indulgent can make you fat. I am trying to learn to enjoy food that is healthy, but find that my tastebuds crave things full of fat like Phad Thai, Rice, Cheese and a host of other forbidden treats. Can you share some tips on how to jazz up healthy food. Also, just curious, those of you with children, do they have your chowhoundish tendencies and have sophisticated tastebuds?
I avoid low fat like the dickens. It is very unhealthy for us. Far too many simple carbs and sugar which make you fat fat fat.
Lots of green leafy veg, we snack on cheeses and interesting nuts, dry cures sausages. We try to be very aware of the glycemic index in foods and cut out as much sugar and simple carbs as possible
re: Candy
Hear hear! I am totally with Candy on this. I avoid trans fats, junk/processed food, simple carbs and sugary snacks (although I do bake a fair amount and am the first person to order a fine dessert) and eat lots of cheese, leafy green vegetables, and fruit. I don't eat a lot of meat although I don't avoid it. I love butter and cook with it frequently. Key factors are snacking only on healthy things between meals, portion control (although I hate this coy term), eating slowly, exercise, etc.
Honestly, I think the typical foods that are easily accessible and filling in the United States are so out of whack that as long as I make a consciout effort to eat my five fruits and vegetables a day, there's not much room left in my stomach for junk.
I could eat three bowls of spaghetti and meatballs for dinner before I come close to feeling full. Or I could eat one bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, a plate of vegetables tossed with salt and spices, and a whole fruit. much healthier, and I'd probably be full even before I got to the fruit. For me, variety makes me eat less while a big pot of comfort food has me constantly going back to the stove for more.
Bottom line is, it's a pain in the patooty but I try to have three different things on the dinner table every day. I'm one of those people who needs to have a meat (fish counts) for dinner or I don't feel full. But it can be a pound of meat with not much else, or it can be a quarter pound of meat with a lot of different vegetables on the side and then fruit for dessert.
Start experimenting with more spices, and fresh herbs as well as higher quality dried spices. It will make cooking more fun, and boring foods more tasty.
Also, soups are relatively low calorie and can "hide" a lot of vegetables in them while still tasting hearty.
Healthy certainly doesn't mean boring. Of course, it depends on what you mean by "healthy". For me, it means low cholesterol foods (lots of fish and beans, not so much cheese or hamburger), olive oil instead of butter (mostly), fresh vegetables (and lots of them), moderate use of salt, and a liberal use of sugar (hey, I can't give up everything at once!). And, most importantly, portion control.
Focus on fresh, top-quality food that you really like, and experiment with new foods and recipes. Don't waste your time with food substitutes (like fat-free sour "cream" and splenda) that hurt your tastebuds and your metabolism. Don't completely cut yourself off from those "unhealthy" foods, either, or you'll find yourself binging eventually (at least, I always do). For example, chocolate is my top weakness - but instead of gobbling a pound of Hershey's chocolate chips, I buy the best dark chocolate I can and am satisfied with an ounce or two. Really and truly I am!
Try roasting and braising your food. I love the rich, intense flavor of roasted vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of good herbs. I also rely on caramelized onions quite a bit. (They make great French onion soup.)
Speaking of soups - great tip, Pei - here are two recipes for relatively healthy ones. The first is a wonderful caramelized leek soup that tastes like it's full of cream, even when it's just a bit of oil (I replace the butter in the recipe with olive oil, of course). I've posted about this one before, but I just can't resist mentioning it again.
The second is a Fennel-Tomato Soup that I "invented" from the leftovers of a Fennel-Saffron compote - again, I replaced the butter with olive oil (and used much less of it, too).
Keep trying - eventually you'll retrain your tastebuds to actually crave healthy food. I now love plain steamed brocolli - no cheese sauce needed - and I crave plain brown rice.
Well here's a great key lime pie recipe (direct from Joe's Stone Crab in Miami Beach that I've altered to be low(er) fat. Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it's delicious.
Here's the actual recipe...
Key Lime Pie Recipe - Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons graham-cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoons grated lime zest
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup fresh or bottled Key lime juice (see Note)
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners'sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine graham crackers, butter and sugar. Press mixture into bottom and sides of a buttered 9-inch pie pan, forming a neat border around edge. Bake crust about 5 minutes or until set and golden.
Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment and a nonreactive bowl, beat egg yolks and lime zest at high speed about 5 minutes or until very shiny. Gradually add condensed milk, and continue to beat 3 to 4 minutes or until thick. Reduce speed of mixer to low. Add lime juice and mix just until combined. Pour lime mixture into crust. Bake about 10 minutes or until filling has just set. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
To serve, place pie in freezer for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. In an electric-mixer bowl, combine cream and confectioners' sugar. Whisk until nearly stiff. Cut pie into wedges; serve very cold, each wedge topped with large dollop of whipped cream.
Yield: 8 servings.
Note: Fresh juice is far superior to bottled juice.
Per serving: 460 calories, 7 grams protein, 25 grams fat, 50 grams carbohydrates, 160 milligrams cholesterol, 195 milligrams sodium, 49 percent calories from fat.
So what I like to do to make it low(er) fat is get rid of the pie crust step all together. Instead buy a pre-made low fat graham cracker crust, thus eliminating the butter. Then, instead of sugar, use Splenda, and instead of regular condensed milk, use the fat-free version.
It then becomes an amazing low-fat pie and it's still gourmet!
If you eat well most of the time, you have room for the full flavor, full fat, full everything version of what you really enjoy. But, make sure it's something you really enjoy. I never make a fat free or low fat cake. I'd rather have a small piece of great cake. Same with most things. I agree w/ Pei that if you eat all the servings of vegetables and fruits that you need, you won't have as much room for the junk. When we order pizza, I have a huge salad or veggies first. Then I only have room for a slice and I really enjoy it rather than just wolfing down a few slices. And, make the healthy foods easily available so you're not automatically reaching for junk for no reason. Be in control and have the junk food you want, when you want it. As my friend put it, I'm a junk food snob--I only eat the best.:-)
I think health consciousness and being a chowhound can go hand in hand. My chowishness is more along the lines of being very conscious about the freshness, flavor, and balance in every meal I have, and less so about fancy restaurants with fancy rich sauces and multiple courses.
Cooking for yourself is the best way to be health conscious. There isn't much editing you can do to baked goods without a noticeable decline in taste, but everything else is easy!
-- don't use oil in salad dressings. Balsamic + dijon, lime juice + honey + cumin, experiment with different vinegars...
-- focus on protein in every meal
-- eggbeaters instead of eggs in casseroles, omlettes
-- if recipe calls for melted butter added to sauce, risotto, or anything that's relatively rich to begin with, leave it out
-- nonfat milk almost always does just as well as whole or low fat. I strongly believe in substituting low-fat for full fat (ricotta, sour cream, cream cheese, milk, cheese, etc.)
-- be generous with spices, citrus juices and extracts when called for in recipes. Get excited about fresh herbs.
-- boneless skinless chicken breasts and fish
-- marinate, marinate, marinate. if using store-bought, check the labels carefully. or make your own with a little oil, lots of citrus, fresh herbs, lots of spices
-- cream of any vegetable soups DO NOT need cream or butter! boil whatever veggie in low salt broth, toss in a potato too and blend that up, you'd be surprised with the richness and consistency without added fat.
re: pikawicca
exactly. and the less you eat out the better, if you're trying to lose.
hopefully everyone knows what processed is: anything that includes corn syrup, generally, or added flavoring (like low-fat yoghurt, packaged bread, cold cuts...most things americans eat, i wonder why people don't know how to lose weight??)
It can be a challenge to cook delicious, healthy meals. Here are a few simple suggestions:
1. Decide what you can't live without, be it Pad Thai or chocolate. Allow yourself the treat, then plan the rest of your day's eating around it. So, if you're planning on a heavy dinner, have vegetable soup and a salad for lunch.
2. Make lots of soups. As long as they don't include cream, cheese or coconut milk, they are likely to be low in calories. Think broth-based, lots of veggies and/or beans, and optional meat/fish/poultry in small amounts. Bonus: make a BIG pot, then freeze in single-serve containers. You'll always have a healthy lunch on hand that can be ready in minutes.
3. Most "fatty" recipes can easily be made more healthful. We love Indian food, but when I cook it at home I usually use half the oil/ghee/butter called for in the recipe.
4. Stir-fries are another easy, healthful meal. Use LOTS of veggies (think lots of colors---red peppers, orange carrots, yellow squash, green bok choy, purple cabbage), and small amounts of oil and meat/chicken (optional, or use tofu). Garlic, ginger, tamari, chicken broth and some dry sherry add flavor.
5. Check out Cooking Light magazine. Their recipes tend to be more "gourmet" than other "light" recipes.
6. Stay away from most packaged or canned products. Buy ingredients as close to their "whole" state as possible. If you must used packaged items, check the ingredients. If you can't pronounce any of the ingredients---put it back on the shelf! Also watch out for trans fats. Even if a "serving" has "0" grams of trans fats, it may still have up to 1/2 gram. If ingredients list any hydrogenated oils, the item contains trans fats. We should all be eliminating ALL trans fats from our diets.
To answer your second question first, raising a Chowhound takes the same effort. Encouraging good choices, realistic portions and always offering NEW whole foods. My teen is a work in progress :)
With regard to eating healthier...there is no better time than now to re-invent your palette. Everywhere we go, healthy choices are vogue. Feeling better, stronger and sharper is a great motivator! Good luck!
I make Pad Thai at home (Cook's Illustrated recipe) and add veggies -- I always thought of it as a fairly healthy meal. Maybe there are other things you crave that you ordinarily get at restaurants, but could make better versions of at home?
My super-health-conscious mom often makes fried side dishes, like fried eggplant in chick pea flour, or vegetable patties (we are Indian) but we eat one or two on the side with rice, lentils, and plenty of vegetables. I grew up eating this way and now I find that I actually prefer it -- I'd rather have a couple of fried chicken fingers mixed into a crunchy salad than an entire basket of chicken fingers, which seems too greasy. Maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it.
As for rice and cheese, there's always brown rice and whole-grain starches, and low-fat cheese if you're just melting it. But in general, I think combining a little unheathy stuff with plenty of heathy stuff is a good way to go and doesn't make you feel deprived.
I think of myself as a health-conscious CH. I make just about everything we eat, so I know exactly what goes into each dish. We avoid processed starches and sugars, eat lots of vegetables cooked fresh every day, buy organic or local whenever possible and eat out very selectively. However I never compromise on flavor so when butter or pork fat are called for, I use them.
This year I've been making a conscious effort to cut back on the amount of meat we eat, substituting whole grains, legumes and other forms of protein. Whole cultures eat these as their staples and we're finding them very appealing - Indian dals and vegetable curries, Mexican bean dishes, Middle Eastern grain salads. It's become part of our regular diet and I think we're better off for it.
As for raising chowpups, for me (with a range of 2-15 y/o), it has been a matter of balancing a respect for their preferences (for example, one was very sensitive to textures, another doesn't handle spicy heat), with an expectation that they will enjoy at least trying new foods. In practice, that means treating the experience of an untried cuisine, restaurant, ingredient, or dish, as an adventure-but without risk. Calvin Trillin's daughter famously required a bagel when dining out, "just in case." For my kids, they've been encouraged to be bold with appetizers, and we make sure that there is something "comfortable" on the table beyond that.
The 15 year old loves Indian, Thai, Cambodian, and Vietnamese foods. He's eaten kangaroo, emu, alligator, and goat eyeballs. When given a choice of restaurant the other day, his eyes gleamed when offered the option of Persian, which he had never tried. OTOH, when invited to go on a reconnaissance mission, he returned saying "It smelled really good, and the descriptions sounded okay, but without much variety. But, Mom, the food looked like ______!" We went out for comfort food, instead.

For nearly 20 years, Fort Worth voters have agreed to pay an extra half-cent in sales tax solely for crime prevention.The money — now $60 million a year — is collected on top of regular city property and sales taxes. It's revenue city officials can never take for granted.Just to reinforce that, state lawmakers gave voters the power to renew or revoke the tax by citywide election every five years.The next election is a year away, and some leaders of the city-sponsored Code:Blue Citizens on Patrol neighborhood watch organization are not happy with the way the City Council manages the revenue.Until 2010, council members appointed a separate volunteer board that administered spending outside the regular city police budget.In 2010, after a change in state law gave the board the authority to impose a sales tax on utilities, City Council members decided that elected officials should assume that responsibility.So council members appointed themselves to replace the volunteer board.Then-Mayor Mike Moncrief and council members argued that only elected officials accountable to the voters should have such power.Now, some Code:Blue Citizens on Patrol volunteers say the council has too much power.West Division volunteer Michael Cohen, a public advocate for renewing the tax in 2009, said some crime watch captains want a separate board restored for more outside oversight.Some tax critics have always complained about the police budget, saying too much money goes for crime prevention such as graffiti removal and gang intervention programs.That's not a new complaint. In the 1990s, critics complained about "midnight basketball."The old system added a second layer of public scrutiny. But at a glance, it makes sense to have the elected City Council oversee all police and crime prevention spending. At the very least, it saves the bureaucratic expense of operating yet another volunteer board.When they took on the crime board powers, City Council members said elected officials should be the ones held accountable.If the crime tax money is being spent wisely, that should not be a problem. Of course, that is something of which taxpayers must be convinced.

A little about me...
I am an over the road motor coach operator, with over 17 years of service. I am recently divorced, with 1 child, who does not live with me. I don't care for drama. Drama brings about undue stress. And, stress brings about an unhealthy life. I am interested in a peaceful, harmonious companionship. I also love to laugh and have been told that I have a wonderful sense of humor.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for an independent strong-willed woman, who has lady characteristics, with a caring personality, along with compassion. I love the the feeling of togetherness and spending quality time together, walking, talking, making plans and following them through. I like getting to know family members and going to family gatherings.
I'd just like to add...
I have always wanted to travel to different places and am open for suggestions. I like to see the smile on my companion's face, while being in an atmosphere of comfort. I enjoy the "one-on-one" communication, to reach understanding in order to avoid an awkward feeling. I believe communication is the key to a healthy relationship.

The Sunseeker Holiday Complex has got the balance just right - it's in a quiet area, but only 5 minutes from the town and seafront. There's also a rooftop pool with fantastic views.
A central hotel isn't everyone's idea of holiday bliss. Then again, no one likes to be miles away from the action. Thankfully, the Sunseeker Holiday Complex has got the balance just right. It's in a quiet area, but only five minutes walk to the town and seafront. So you can wake up and ease yourself into the bustling streets of the city centre.
Scenery aside - what's inside the hotel? Well, before we say what's under the roof, we'll tell you what's on top of it. That's right, this place is the proud owner of a fabulous rooftop terrace and pool, with a to-die-for view.
As you kick back on your sunbed, you've got the city on one side and miles of blue seas on the other. But if you haven't got a head for heights, don't worry. There's an indoor pool where your feet are kept firmly on the ground.

Knowledge, Faith, and Care in Action
Simply learning the tools of law isn't enough. If law is to serve a useful place in society, its practice must be leavened with compassion for others and a commitment to fight the unjust.
The Columbus School of Law's embrace of community service encourages students to think about law in service to others from the very first day they matriculate. During Orientation Week for first year students, for example, there is always a day set aside to volunteer on behalf of a local cause. It could be painting school classrooms, visiting with people who are elderly and alone, or cleaning up debris from an area park or bike path.
Catholic University's law students routinely conduct food drives, toy and coat collections, and drive other charitable functions through student organizations and outreach every year.
Another example: In the eight years since Hurricane Katrina devastated communities along America's Gulf Coast, the suffering of millions of its people has not been forgotten by the law school's student-staffed Legal Services Society, which continues to visit the region each year to assist residents with lingering legal and social problems.
The commitment to community is also reflected in the law school's curricular offerings, which provide boundless opportunities for students to master the legal skills that contribute to a more just society.
In 2013, for instance, the law school introduced "Faith in Action: A Six Part Series on Faith, Justice and Service." The lecture series provides an opportunity for students to explore the connections between faith, justice and service with classmates, exchange ideas with guest participants, and participate in service initiatives in the local community.
Encouraging law students to become lifelong participants in a Community of Service and imparting the skills and passion to succeed at it is Catholic social teaching in action. It is also neighborly and good social policy. Most of all, it is the right thing to do.

Trouble Zones
The belly, booty and thighs are often named as trouble areas for women, especially as we get older. We want a flat tummy, a tight and lifted booty, and firm and sculpted thighs, right?
For those who choose yoga to get their sweat on, there are only a few yoga DVDs that target those trouble zones. And you have to pick just one among those zones. But Chrissy Carter has a new DVD that targets all three.
Gaiam releases her new Yoga for Belly, Butt, and Thighs Sept. 2 on DVD for $14.98. The program will also be available on iTunes.
The DVD features three practices — at about 20 minutes each — to target each area.
The Belly segment targets the abs, while the Butt segment helps sculpt the glutes as well as the hamstrings and hips, which help boost the gluteal muscles. The Thighs section help tone both the quads and hamstring muscles.
There's also a 15-minute Complete Core practice that combines various poses from the three practices along with new poses to target the abs and lower back. After doing this practice just once, my tight, achy, sore back felt great for days.
Carter gives clear and easy to follow instruction. Her poses are not complex, but they're still challenging and effective, and you can feel your muscles working while doing the exercises.
Gaiam worked with Carter to develop a series of practices that combine complex poses and deep breathing exercises with a workout to tone muscles, eliminate fat, build body awareness and awaken core muscles.
Sí Se Puede
One of the biggest movies this year for Mexican-Americans was Cesar Chavez.
Starring Michael Peña, America Ferrera and Rosario Dawson, the film tells the story of civil rights activist and American farm worker Cesar Chavez and his rise as a labor leader. The film is available on DVD and Blu-ray from Lionsgate for about $20.
I won't deny that the film failed to accurately portray many elements of the complex history of the United Farm Workers movement. I also won't disagree all that much with the less-than-stellar reviews from critics and audiences alike.
However, I think it's important to point out that Cesar Chavez is still a solid movie with a great message for filmmakers to make in highlighting an important Mexican-American leader AND portraying him by a talented Mexican-American actor. As with many biopics or historical movies, I hope that the movie encourages audiences to go out and research the real people and the real stories. In this Google age, a lot of information is easily accessible with a few keyboard strokes.
Of course, it would have been even easier if the home video releases included some sort of documentary or even a few featurettes about the real Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta.
But I do have to commend distributors Lionsgate and Pantelion and production house Participant Media for the socially conscious efforts to support Chavez's cause, which sadly is still a struggle for farm workers.
As reported earlier in an article by my colleague Chris Tribbey, Participant Media and the Equitable Food Initiative (EFI) launched a new food label trust-mark that certifies produce is "responsibly grown and farmworker assured." This will help shoppers identify, and hopefully purchase, equitably sourced food.
During the film's theatrical run, Participant also gathered more than 30,000 signatures on TakePart.com in support of EFI's efforts to provide training and fair wages to farmworkers and implement safe food practices. And among the trailers on the DVD is a PSA for farm worker safety standards and supporting the cause at Takepart.com/chavez. The TakePart petition is now at 34,016 of its 60,000 goal. I encourage you to visit the site and learn more about how you can take action and learn about the Chavez's work, which is still being carried on today.
Hey, Entertainment Industry, You Need Us Latinos
U.S. Latinos love watching movies, and they make up a huge portion of the moviegoing population. That's pretty much what a panel of experts said June 8 at the Produced By Conference in Los Angeles, as reported in The Wrap ("Forget Fanboys, Why Hispanics Are the Most Important MovieGoers").
Part of me thinks, "Um. Yes, we've known this for a while already. Why are we still discussing this?" (See any of my coverage of this over the past 10 years.) But another part of me sees the continued relevance of this conversation. The current research showing the strength and influence of those numbers on the industry isn't any less potent, and more importantly, it's not just us Latinos having these conversations anymore. Rather, these discussions are now taking place more frequently among non-Latino executives and decision-makers in the overall mainstream industry.
Now, one thing the panel didn't address much of was the packaged-media and digital slices of the entertainment pie.
Studies show that 75% of Latinos own high-quality home entertainment systems, and 63% of them rent DVD or Blu-ray movies, as reported in Fashion Times.
Again, this isn't all that new. A report dating back to 2009 indicated that Latina women in particular are big DVD consumers and above-average consumers of online and mobile video as well, according to a study by Solutions Research Group Consultants Inc. And I can go back even further with similar research and figures.
And now that the industry at large is taking more notice of Latino buying power and influence, we're starting to see a rise in higher-quality Latino movies and the marketing of it. In my opinion, this is the best part.
Lionsgate's 2013 film Instructions Not Included, starring and directed by Mexican star Eugenio Derbez, broke a number of records at the box office, including becoming the No. 1 Spanish-language film in the United States. It was one of my favorite movies of the year, and probably would not have been made 10 years ago. In fact, it took Derbez 12 years to make.
Derbez also told me during an interview that he knew the film would also do well on home video, and his prediction was right. Upon its retail debut in January the movie, distributed by Lionsgate, landed at No. 3 on Nielsen's VideoScan chart and remained in the top 10 sales chart for another week. The movie also appeared in the top 20 rental chart for three weeks in row.
Another studio that is taking note of the Latino market is Paramount, which pointedly made the decision to the include Latino characters and Spanish dialogue in the most recent "Paranormal Activity" film. To my surprise — and, I think, the surprise of other Latinos in the industry as well as audiences — they got it right. No stereotypes. No mixing up of Latino cultures. No incorrect dialogue. This film, too, showed up on Nielsen's top sales and rental charts upon its debut.
Digital platforms might arguably be even more successful among Latino audiences.
Latinos are watching more videos online than the rest of the U.S. population, according to Centris Marketing Science's July 2013 U.S. Communications and Entertainment Insights report.
The report also found that 33% of American Latino households subscribe to Netflix, versus 25% of U.S. households overall.
Another beacon in the digital entertainment market for Latinos is Hulu, whose Hulu Latino site draws more than 1 million unique monthly Latino viewers, according to Rodrigo Mazon, content acquisition director for Hulu, as reported in Portada. He said that number continues to grow in the double digits, month-over-month since the channel launched two-and-a-half years ago.
And Hulu has created quality original programming, such as "East Los High," and also supports it as well as third-party content with the marketing dollars.
Now this is just consumption of Hulu Latino. I can only imagine how much regular Hulu content Latinos are also viewing.
Meanwhile, Netflix has it's own content in the works, a new yet-to-named soccer series — just in time for the World Cup — as well as "Narcos."
It's an exciting and interesting time for us. As the mainstream industry takes increasing notice of Latinos' exploding purchasing power, I think we'll see a rise more Latinos in front of (and behind) the camera, as well as better Latino content.
BeFit Launches a New Channel
Lionsgate's successful fitness channel BeFit has just launched a new show featuring yogi and dancer Sydney Benner.
The new Yoga Dance Fusion series crosses dance with yoga for a unique workout aimed at intermediate yoga practitioners and dancers.
Each 12-minute high-intensity workout includes five circuits designed to use your own body weight to sculpt, lengthen and tone arms, shoulders, chest, legs, glutes, abs and back.
It reminds me of Jillian Michaels style power yoga, but without weights. Check out the first workout here.
The Lionsgate BeFit channel now has more than 1 million subscribers and now ranks among the top 1% of YouTube channels in the Google Preferred program.
Netflix Takes Another Step to Reach Latino Audiences
Oralé Netflix. You did it again.
Yesterday Netflix announced its first Spanish-language original series in Mexico.
The untitled 13-episode series from Alazraki Entertainment is a comedy from director Gaz Alazraki. It reunites the team behind Nosotros los Nobles, one of the most successful Mexican box office hits of all time, and is set to premiere in 2015.
The show centers on a family feud among heirs of a soccer club after the owner's death. Shooting entirely in Mexico, the show features a cast from all over Latin America, including Nobles star Luis Gerardo Mendez ("XY," "La Clínica" and "Capadocia").
This is not Netflix's first step into original content for the Latino market.
If you recall my Aug. 21, 2013 blog post, Netflix announced then it was creating "A Toca" in Brazil. This show, while original for Netflix, was adapted from producer and writer Felipe Neto's YouTube channel Parafernalha. And I presume this show, which is just for Brazilian audiences, is in Portuguese not Spanish.
More recently (about three weeks ago) Netflix ordered 10 episodes of "Narcos," a drama based on Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel. The series will shoot in Colombia, with Brazilian director José Padilha at the helm and Brazilian actor Wagner Moura to star.
According to reports, this newest show unnamed show is aimed at U.S. Latinos in addition to the Latin American market.
In making yesterday's announcement, I appreciate Netflix's Ted Sarandos emphasizing how important the Mexican and Latin American markets are to the company.
"We're confident our members in a market as important to us as Mexico and Latin America will love this family comedy," he said.
And for that I have to agree with director Alazraki when he said "there's nobody cooler and more innovative in this day and age than Netflix."
RIP Gabo
Today we lost one of the greatest writers of our time. Gabriel García Márquez died at age 87 of pneumonia in Mexico City.
The Nobel Prize-winning author from Colombia ignited the explosion of Spanish-language literature and magical realism. Many of us have read or at least heard of his great novels One Hundred Years of Solitude, which led to the author's Nobel Prize, and Love in the Time of Cholera.
I implore you to read García Márquez' work. But if you are more inclined to watch movies than read, then check out some movies based on some of his novels or his screenplays.
Love in the Time of Cholera is available on DVD from Warner and stars Oscar-winning Javier Bardem and Benjamin Bratt. (How I would have loved to be the female lead in that movie!)
Other films available are Oedipus Mayor (Facets) and No One Writes to the Colonel (Maverick), starring Fernando Luján, Marisa Paredes and Salma Hayek. Released just last year on DVD (Distrimax) is Memoria de Mis Putas Tristes, which is based on my friend's favorite García Márquez novel (you know who you are).
Many other movies have been made based on his writing — Eréndira, Cartas del Parque, María de mi Corazón, Of Love and Other Demons, In Evil Hour and Milagro en Roma — but unfortunately, they are not available on DVD or Blu-ray. Hint, hint, studios…
'From Dusk Till Dawn' Series Available Digitally
Who's looking for new badass content from Robert Rodriguez?
El Rey's supernatural crime show "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series" will be available to U.S. viewers digitally on Amazon, iTunes, Sony PlayStation, Xbox, Vudu, Google Play, CinemaNow, Blackberry and Target Ticket.
Each episode of the show, which is based on the 1996 movie that Rodriguez directed and Quentin Tarantino wrote, will be available the day after broadcast starting March 12.
The show centers on bank robber brothers Seth (D.J. Cotrona) and Richie Gecko (Zane Holtz), who are wanted by the FBI and Texas Rangers Earl McGraw (Don Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Jesse Garcia). While on the run to Mexico, the Geckos encounter a family, whom they take hostage, using their family RV to cross the border. All hell breaks loose when the group detours to a strip club occupied by vampires.
Rodriguez is among the executive producers of the series, which expands on the film, adding new characters and backstories, and developing the Mesoamerican mythology behind the creatures inside the club.
Entertainment One Television holds the domestic DVD and digital rights for the show and will likely release it on disc at a later date.
"From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series" is a production from El Rey Network, a new 24-hour English-language network co-founded by Rodriguez, who curates the channel along with his artistic collective. Not surprisingly, El Rey's content features original dramas, grindhouse content, cult classic actioners, and horror and sci-fi movies and shows.
According to its boilerplate info on the press release, "the network will unite the most culturally diverse generation in history through fearless, badass and original content that awakens the renegade in everyone."
With that description, who wouldn't want to watch any show on this network?
PBS's 'Latino Americans' Should Be Required Viewing
It's about time a series like Latino Americans was made.
At more than 53 million people, we — Latinos — are the largest minority group in the United States, according to the U.S. Census.
Latino Americans is the first major documentary to tell the stories and history of our people in this country.
If you didn't catch it when it aired on TV, PBS has you covered with it's two-DVD set, available for $34.99, or online to stream on their website.
Narrated by Benjamin Bratt (love him!), the six-episode documentary series goes all the way back to Latinos in the United States from the 1500s to today. That's right, it goes back to when areas like California and Texas were actually part of Mexico.
It also sheds light on the various waves of immigrants from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador, and how U.S. policy is responsible for many of the laws and programs that brought Latinos here. These sorts of stories put into context the current events of today — and also might enrage you, if you look at the big picture. That is, brown people haters, if you only knew your history, you might see how foolish and contradictory your xenophobic and racist ways are.
But on a positive note, not only was it inspiring to see all these intelligent, successful, prominent Latino historians, professors, authors and many others tell our history, but it was impressive to learn that most of the production team behind the documentary are Latino Americans too.
During these six hours of viewing of this program, I felt an unprecedented sense of understanding and clarity on our history. I better understood our role, our struggles and our influence in this country. And I felt proud of both my Mexican culture and my American nationality.
But I also felt sadness and anger about the injustices and violence our people have endured over the years. It was heartbreaking to see the stories of racism against and lynching of not only innocent Latino American citizens but also against brave, decorated U.S. war heroes of Latino descent.
It also dismays me to think that many of these stories that are significant to U.S. history are not taught in our children's classes, but hopefully programming such as this will help open people's eyes.
PBS has started the dialogue, and they hope to keep it going. Visit their website to submit your own videos and share what being Latino means to you.
Read a little more about the Latino Americans in my review.
BeFit in 90 Expands Beyond YouTube
For those who like those complete boxed set workout systems, Lionsgate has got something for you.
Lionsgate is packaging the videos from its popular BeFit in 90 channel as a set and for digital download, filled with extras.
The BeFit in 90 Workout System will be available exclusively on Amazon for three months beginning next week on Sept. 3.
The three-DVD set ($20.93) contains the 90-day total weight-loss program led by Samantha Clayton, an Olympic sprinter, and Garret Amerine, a former Marine.
These two ass-kicking trainers lead three months of 35-minute total body workouts featuring cardio, strength training and yoga to burn fat and build muscle.
Over the three-month program, the workouts become progressively more challenging, with a unique routine each day to avoid both muscle memory and repetition.
The set also comes with the Trainer Tip videos from the BeFit in 90 channel, a workout calendar designating workouts and rest days, a fitness journal to set goals and track progress, and a nutritional guide with healthy recipes and dietary information.
The BeFit in 90 Workout System already is available for digital download on iTunes in standard definition ($19.99) and high definition ($20.99). iTunes offers a link to download the workout calendar, nutritional guide and fitness journal.
Sure, the videos are available on YouTube for free, so why pay the $20 for the disc and materials? The bonus materials, the elimination of the YouTube ads, and the convenience of having the workouts streamlined and packaged in three discs are more than worth the retail price.
The set will be available widely at retail stores in December.
Lionsgate launched the Be Fit in 90 in January 2012. As of today, the channel has 28,076 subscribers, and that number continues to grow.
Netflix Loves Latinos
If you read my July 8 blog, Latinos Love Netflix, you may have caught my suggestion at the end for Netflix to create original Spanish-Language content. Well, I apparently (and unknowingly) was reading their minds.
A few weeks ago, BTIG Research analyst Richard Greenfield tweeted: "Netflix takes 1st "baby" steps toward creating original content outside US, "The Burrow" in Brazil." See my colleague Erik Gruenwedel's report.
Greenfield included a link to an article from Jornal O Globo with more info, if you can read Portuguese. According to O Globo (with some help from freetranslation.com), I learned the show is called "A Toca" (The Touch) and is a comedy comprised of skits, based on "The Office."
The show is written and produced by Felipe Neto, a popular comedian on YouTube from the channel Parafernalha.
Neto told O Globo he had complete creative freedom — sounds similar to what "The Arrested Development" and "House of Cards" producers said of Netflix — and the program touches on subjects traditionally taboo on TV, similar to Neto's YouTube show "Não Faz Sentido."
"A Toca" is new content adapted from Parafernalha, and according to Andrew Wallenstein's report from Variety, the show appears exclusively on Netflix, which licenses the series.
The program debuted Aug. 9 with three 30-minute episodes on Netflix, which has been available in Brazil for two years now.
Unlike Netflix's other shows, "A Toca" will be available only in Brazil. Jonathan Friedland, chief communications officer for Netflix, told O Globo that the show is "very Brazilian" and that comedies don't translate to other countries as well as dramas do. He pointed to "Arrested Development," which is doing great in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, but not so well in Latin America.
"A Tocar" marks Netflix's first original programming outside of the United States. I think it's pretty cool the service chose a Latin American country for this milestone.

Monday News, November 17
Sioux City Residents To Receive Money Back From Illegal Franchise Fees
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa judge has approved the settlement of a class-action lawsuit in which the city of Sioux City agreed to pay nearly $6.5 million it overcharged in franchise fees to city residents and businesses.
Judge Jeffrey Neary of Woodbury County District Court approved the deal on Friday. The lawsuit was filed in 2006 class-action by Sioux City resident Kathleen Sweisberger on behalf of all households and businesses that paid the 2 percent franchise fees for gas or electricity to MidAmerican Energy or Woodbury County Rural Electric Cooperative from September 5th, 2001 to May 25th, 2009. Lawyers say nearly 62,000 individuals and businesses will qualify for settlement payments.
Iowa courts have ruled that the franchise fees were illegal when first imposed.
DeCoster's Await Sentencing From Tainted Egg Scandal
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A judge has scheduled a February sentencing for the father and son whose Iowa egg farms were linked to a huge 2010 salmonella outbreak.
U.S. District Judge Mark W. Bennett ruled Thursday that Quality Egg owners Austin "Jack" DeCoster and Peter DeCoster will be sentenced during hearings that begin February 9th in Sioux City and could last five days.
The DeCosters pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce. They face up to one year in jail, but their attorney is arguing for a fine and probation.
Quality Egg also faces a fine after pleading guilty to bribing a federal inspector, selling misbranded food and introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce.
The outbreak sickened thousands of people nationwide and shook public confidence in the egg industry.
Hard Rock Casino Still Hiring Employees
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Those looking for a job at Sioux City's newest casino can count on more than Lady Luck.
The downtown Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Sioux City that opened nearly three months ago is still looking to fill 40 to 45 jobs, many of them front-line positions, including table game dealers, security officers, bartenders, servers, cooks and housekeepers.
But some of the jobs are managerial. Hard Rock General Manager Todd Moyer says the casino is still looking for a purchasing manager, director of hotel operations and environmental services manager.
Moyer says a tight local labor market has made recruiting more challenging. The Sioux City area unemployment rate recently stood at 4.4 percent.
Six Year Old Girl Seriously Injured While Sledding
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - A 6-year-old girl was critically hurt this weekend when she sledded into a street in Council Bluffs and was hit by a truck.
The incident happened just before 1 p.m. Saturday.
Council Bluffs Police say Kailey Maloney was sledding down the driveway of her grandfather's property. She was hit by a 2005 Chevrolet pickup truck after she slid into the street.
Maloney was taken to the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha for treatment of life-threatening injuries.
Grassley Questions The Daily Cost To Feed And Clothe Illegal Immigrants
(Washington) -- President Obama has said he intends to use his executive powers to approve a plan allowing millions of undocumented immigrants, that have come to live in the United States, to be given legal status. Many in Washington, especially Republicans, are opposed to offering what they call "amnesty" to illegal aliens. One concern is the cost factor. US Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Matthews-Burwell estimates American taxpayers are paying between $250 and $1000 per child every day to house, feed and clothe children of undocumented immigrants. During his weekly news conference, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says, if the estimates are accurate, he is astonished, and questions why it's so expensive.
Listen to
Iowa 4th District Republican Congressman Steve King says President Obama will provoke a "constitutional crisis" if he follows through with an executive order that would shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation.

Farm Bill Meetings Scheduled For Northwest Iowa
(Le Mars) -- Beginning today, and continuing through the month of December, the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach along with the U-S-D-A Farm Services Agency will host a series of meetings discussing the provisions of the new Farm Bill. There will be a meeting for each county. Melissa O'Rourke, is the farm management specialist with Iowa State University Extension. She says this farm bill is a departure from previous farm program legislation.
Listen to
The Farm Management Specialist says farmers will have to know the new programs, since the decision they make will be for the next five years. She says farmers and landowners need to decide whether they want to protect themselves from yield losses, or price loss.
Listen to
On the other hand, as O'Rourke explains, if farmers are more concerned about the revenue losses, they may want to sign up for PLC or Price Loss Coverage program.
Listen to
As mentioned, those farm bill meetings begin today at Cherokee and Primghar. The Cherokee location will be at the Western Iowa Technical Community College starting at 9:00 a.m. and the Primghar meeting will start at 1:30 p.m. at the Primghar Community Center. The Le Mars meeting is scheduled for December 3rd at the Le Mars Convention Center starting at 9:00 a.m. For specific dates, locations, and times, contact your local Iowa State University Extension and Outreach office.
Farm Credit Official Says Land Values Still Holding Strong
(Kansas City) -- While land prices in many parts of the Midwest have come down from their record highs, there are no indications they're going to collapse. Doug Stark, president and CEO of Omaha-based Farm Credit Services of America, says there's still a lot of strength under farmland overall.
Listen to
But Stark says if the profitability in farming remains low—and interest rates start to rise—it's likely to have a dampening effect on land prices going forward.
Farm Credit Services of America serves farmers in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.
Officials Worry About Available Water Supplies
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - State officials may impose new limits on groundwater use to protect the underground aquifer that supplies drinking water to a half-million Iowans.
Environmental leaders are concerned about the future of the Jordan aquifer that sits beneath most of Iowa because water use continues to grow.
The Iowa Environmental Protection Commission is scheduled to meet Wednesday to discuss requiring additional conservation measures and possibly force some water users to seek other sources of water.
Marion Water Department manager Todd Steigerwaldt says the lower the aquifer sinks, the worse the water quality will be.
Since the 1970s, use of water in the aquifer has increased 72 percent to nearly 26 billion gallons last year. The growing ethanol industry has contributed significantly to the increase.

Call on me I will be there
Don't be afraid

While most women tend to reach for the natural nudes and ruby red lipsticks to amp up their looks, these days, bright pink lipstick has become my go-to shade. With just two swipes, this girly hue instantly brightens my face. It's fresh, flirty, and not as intimidating as the popular burgundy lip color that's been trending this season. Just check out how great Adrienne Bailon looks with this berry pink lipstick (pictured here)! But wearing a less-than flattering pink can make you look washed out or even clown-like.
Don't worry, there's a pink lip color out there for every complexion. Check out some of these pretty pink lipsticks and find the one that's best for you!

I'm more in the medium skin tone, so pic #3 would be my shade of lipstick. I have one similar but just a tad more lighter!!
I'm light/fair complexion, so #1 or #2 would be best and I like them both.
I don't normally pick darker colors for myself anyway, I feel it's too much of a contrast. But I do like how they look on others.
I am med/tan so I think the 4th would be great for me!

Audio clip
City Council meeting - 02/08/2011
Mayor Ron Littlefield said Tuesday he wanted to see the city and county sales tax agreement expire and then craft a completely new plan.
"I will not recommend we renew it," Littlefield said.
The comments came after the City Council met Tuesday in a two-hour budget session where they talked extensively about the sales-tax agreement, which is set to expire on June 30. Records show there could be an additional $10.5 million coming into city coffers annually if the agreement expires.
Littlefield said he thinks an entirely new plan is needed to address changes in the county and city since the agreement was first made in 1965.
County Mayor Jim Coppinger said he disagreed.
"My intention is to get an agreement before this one expires," he said.
Coppinger said the county and city finance staff have met recently for a preliminary discussion. He said he doesn't want the county and the city to "miss a beat" on the sales tax agreement.
Littlefield said he expects the city and county to be discussing the sales tax agreement "for the next year."
Councilwoman Deborah Scott, who is leading the city's efforts on the agreement, said she made the recommendation to the mayor on letting the agreement expire. She said there are too many differences between how taxes are received now compared to 1965.
"We need a fresh start," she said.
Scott, along with Chief Financial Officer Daisy Madison, made presentations to the council Tuesday showing tax collections of the municipalities and the county. Scott said the council also talked briefly about educating the public on the sales tax agreement.
The city has posted a legal notice saying it is looking for a public relations firm. She said an educator or education firm also would suffice. She said the council talked about each member also going into their districts and educating their constituents.
The council also talked about term limits Tuesday during a legal and legislative committee meeting. Scott brought up the proposal of limiting council members to two terms.
The measure died from a lack of support from other council members.
Staff writer Dan Whisenhunt contributed to this story.
Web editor's note: A PowerPoint presentation on the sales tax agreement was originally attached to this story. Due to technical difficulties the file was not downloading. If you would like to receive a copy of the presentation, please e-mail email@example.com. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We don't need an PR firm to explain this to us. That's why we voted on council members. If they can't explain this agreement then they should resign. Don't waste my tax money.
Don't fix what is not broken, just to be doing something. I did notice how the article has no substance on the issue of why the agreement is though to be broken.
He's coming for you He's out to get you Attack of the Weiner Man
Oh man, Littlefield is at it again. Watch out folks. He's the Weiner Man.
First off I would like to inform you of the broken link to the - PowerPoint: Sales tax agreement presentation -.
Secondly as I see it, this is just another desperate grab for money to continue the city's incompetence of their fiduciary responsibilities. Littlefields lack of control over spending and curbing excess has reared an ugly head time and again. His use of land grabs for political party gains and forcing people to pay city taxes for services that are already stretched beyond reasonable expectations. The lack of sufficient police and firemen to protect what they have is beyond comprehension. The people of the city of Chattanooga deserve better. Too bad they are not getting it.
USSA is one day closer.
Another insult to Chattanoogans, maybe this administration is thinking they need to have the Muppets or Sesame Street explain how taxes work to Chattanoogans? Or could this be marketed as educating the public but in reality, it is the council that needs educated or "a professional (legal) mediator"? Berz herself said she has no idea how much it will cost, she has to wait to see the bids? I guess the lowest bid and the highest bid will create a "mean" then she can say how much it will cost? Something seems fishy?
Thanks for sharing midnitewatchman. There would only be two reasons the city council and mayor would hire a PR firm,
1) The morons believe that the public does not read the TFP and other news sources to understand the sales tax agreement.
2) They want to hire their old buddy Waterhouse, the Recycle Racoon guy that East Ridge fired.
I recently called the City about my stormwater bill, and the city employee had the nerve to state, "public angst about the fee is behind us, like all news stories, the concerns fade and so should yours." That reflects the attitude of Littlefield and the Council, they don't what we think.
Once again Mayor Littlefield proves his incompetence. The dictator (Littlefield) listens to no one, and sets his own agenda for the city of Chattanooga rather then for the citizens.
I have little faith in the idea that Mayor Littlefield should be put in charge of renovating any tax agreements. He's made a multitude of poor decisions.
This comment client only gives us 3000 characters; we can't possibly list all of his bad decisions. We should avoid trusting him and let the agreement continue as is. We have seen no good reason to trust him or his ideas. We've seen nothing but habitual reneging from his administration. They are selfish extremists who have done a lot to hurt their own internal structure. We can't let them contaminate the entire county with their desire to ignore cost realities. Their common plan has been economic ignorance, the active ignoring of budget realities.
We need to avoid letting Mayor Littlefield overstep his boundaries as an executive branch official. Do not let him mistake himself for a legislator. It's his job to carry out the laws, not re-write them for his personal convenience. That's exactly what we'll get if we even consider letting him comment on this situation.
Renew the agreement as-is. Reject any proposal Mayor Littlefield contributes to this discussion. It's a legislative, not executive, decision.
We're not confused about the fact that his opinion is largely irrelevant in this matter. He may be, but we're not.
If Mayor Littlefield wants to refine any argument within the scope of his elected authority, he can undo some of the egregiously poor decisions he has made. These would include, but not be limited to: Police patrol car parking lot fiasco, the outsourcing any and all services not approved by a vote in a general ballot measure, and unnecessary publicly voiced personal attacks on staff and other subordinate government officials (city judges, Missy Crutchfield's staff, individual officers and other city employees).
There are many, many more things that Mayor Littlefield can spend his time on besides trying to re-write laws to help himself. Almost all of them include mayoral duties which involve service to the community through executing existing laws and protecting city resources like the welfare of personnel.
We're willing to accept his resignation at any time. He can always leave the executive branch to run for legislative office if he's under the illusion that we approve of his sad budgeting abilities as demonstrated thus far. In which case, we, of course, predict a landslide for the other guy.
No apologies TFP, we have developed an attached applicable to the story. http://sendables.jibjab.com/view/Mie2nQhDw7tbFtb5
Obviously the city is going to generate more sales tax, that is where the bulk of the taxable industry resides. How many tourist come to Chattanooga and stay in a hotel up in Soddy Daisy? How many folks out in the middle valley area go to the non-city shopping malls? Utterly ridiculous logic, or the lack there of, by the city's mayor to suggest that the city has no obligation to the very people that spend their money and earn their paycheck within the city limits. Speaking as a person who knows many fine employees in the health department, I can assure you that the city's citizens take full advantage of the services provided to them. It would be interesting to know just what the numbers are of city based citizens using the services versus the county. My guess is the city is the biggest resource user based simple on the fact that there is a larger population within the city than the unincorporated areas, and that the majority of the resource centers — like the health department and Erlanger — reside within the city's liimits. Just those two ideas would seem to support the idea that the city has an obligation to pay its fair share. What happens when the services go away, does the city then just ignore the needs of the people, do they implement their own service? When the burden of cost gets to high does the city just annex another part of the county's affluent areas and unincorporated the poverty areas? Does the mayor truly believe that District 7, 8, and 9 are not using the Health Department's resources? Or somehow that it is a proportional use to some area out in the sticks? How much sales tax is generated in those areas versus that contributed by people shopping and eating in the tourist area? How much revenue in sales tax is brought in when folks like me who live 100 yards from the city limits goes downtown to an event or just down the street and spend 300 bucks a weekend at Lowes? Your city uses the system, so support it.

To Whom it may concern,
I highly recommend R and D Construction. I had some siding work that needed to be completed before my re-finance on my home could close. I called Rex and Devon and they came out within a day to check out the work and give me a bid. They were very professional and equipped to give the estimate and do the work. I scheduled them to complete the job and they were there as scheduled to work. They did a wonderful job and communicated well during the process.
The replaced siding looks wonderful and really improved the overall look of our home. I was very pleased with the outcome. They cleaned up and disposed of all old materials and left the area clean and in order.
I will use him again when I need home repairs or remodeling.
