don't call me baby
its finally done. the 100 things about me list:1. I have three freckles in a row on my arm and my inner thig.2. When I was little, I would cry when the other kids blew out my damn candles and made my mom relight them.3. In 4th grade, I was strangely attracted to Marilyn Manson. His song, "The Dope Show" really interested me for some reason...4. First kiss was...gawd, words CAN'T explain how horrible it was. Let's put it this way, if that was what kissing was like, then i never wanted to be kissed again. EVER5. When I was little, I would pick my nose and put the boogers under the chair. 6. I always feel uncomfortable when I say "I love you" and try to avoid saying it. Only once did someone out of my family say it back to me (Craig doesn't count because he was drunk). And holy hell, did that creep me out.7. I did karate in 5th grade because I wanted to be like Buffy the vampire slayer. Two douchebags laughed at me.8. When I was little, romatic scenes turned me on9. At age 7, some girl told me sex was when the man stuck his penis up a girls butt. i thought it was gross, but still bragged to my parents i knew wut it meant. And I remember saying, "Mom, when I'm 10, will you tell me wut sex is?" I wanted her to go more in detail.11. In 4th grade, I had the biggest crush on this boy, caleb (along with every girl in my class) because he looked like a hanson boy and he liked no doubt and the movie titanic.12. I've written a handful of poems, but never had the guts to show them to anyone. But I'll give u a taste. One I called "Accidental Overdose" and it was about me wanted to just O.D on something, because my dad drove me FUCKIN CRAZY and I wanted him to feel like shit when I died.13. In the summer before 6th grade, my nights consisted of playing flashlight tag with the neighborhood kids. I loved it.14. My 14th b-day, I got an amplifier and a snazzy new chord. Wow, it was awesome hearing my electric relly loud.15. I also met my first b/f, Kyle, playing that game. We never did anything. I felt weird. He always put his arm around me. I never even gave him a hug or anything.16. I always wished I could witness some paranormal activity. lol17. For halloween in 6th grade, I was a "punk rocker" as my mom said. I didn't really like it. I wore some faded straight leg blue jeans, a white shirt with the collor sticking up, and a jean vest. Oh yeah, can't forget the sparkly red-orange David Bowie like hair, I hated that wig. Some one thought i was a country singer. lol18. My dad filmed home videos with me and jen in a bathtub in disney world playing with our toys and he made us stand up. odd, i'll have to watch that one again19. Mental insitutions and penitencherys(sp?) intrigue me.20. Muppets and Cabage Patch kids scare me still.21. I learned how to type fast this year. average is prolly 50 gwam22. My mom told me to steal a jolly rancher so she wouldn't have to buy it.23. My new year of 2004 consisted of watching boys do bong hits...i spilt some of the pot on the floor, they got mad.24. My ass hurts right now.25. I shave my cooch, legs, armpits, and occasionally my arms.26. I got my period when I was 11 and I was at Target buying school supplies. Gawd, I was so mad. There was a shitload of blood in my panties. I wanted to cry.27. When nobodys home, I use the karoke machine and put on bright red lipstick.28. I found a porno mag in my dad's nightstand jore. I was 12 and was scarred for months.29. I always picture what people's sex life is like, like my teachers. Sometimes I just quiver because my images are so vivid in my head.30. On the last day of school, senior year. I want to drive away in my yellow muscle car playing Alice Cooper's "Schools Out." And on my eighteenth b-day, the first song I want to hear that day is "Eighteen" also by alice cooper.31. I'm a virgin, and I think I'm kinda scarred to let anyone be that close to me.32. I had a dream in 4th grade me and Leonardo DiCaprio went to Weis and were trying to buy ice cream, but we ran into a handful and long story short, we never got the ice cream.33. I used to wanna fuck Greg Brady (the high school years)34. I was a mean little girl. I remember I told my mom that I hated her and wanted a new mommy. She cried.35. I had a bad case of depression. and it will prolly come back in the future. It was so bad at times. I got mad because my mom would never take action and get me help. I just had to help myself.36. My first aol s/n was MusicFan402 or something. yeah...37. Me and my old neighbor Lauren pooped in the baby pool when we were 5, that was in my basement one time. My mom got mad and had to clean it up.38. My neighbor Rachel made me sit in the bathtub while she pooped, so we could talk. Gawd, the girl could stink up a bathroom. 39. Me and Rachel once put on a show for 4 kids or something in my garage lip-singing Mary-Kate and Ashley songs. I remember an adult came and watched us. I was relly embarassed.40. I used to wanna be a choregrapher. I would teach Heather and Jen Britney Spears dance moves and make them perform it with me.41. In 7th grade, me, heather, and jen were gonna do the talent show and dance to a nsynce song. THANKFULLY, we never finished making the routine up. gawd...that was GAY.42. I say the word "gay" too much. I don't know why. I gotta watch saying that word around gay people though.43. I think I've been on the carousel at the mall a total of two times in my life.44. In 7th grade, I was fat. I had a bowl of ice cream every night. I would go in my room and eat it while I watched "Freaks and Geeks"...gawd, that show was great.45. In 8th grade, I wanted to lose weight. I started doing exercise tapes. I didn't lose too much. I still ate normally. I remember crying because it wasn't working, I wanted to take a diet pill. Later, in the end of March. I discover this new thing called "Slim Fast" hmm...your supposed to replace it with two of your meals, and eat a healthy dinner. At first I slacked a little. Then April 1, 2002 I started doing it right. I started to lose weight. I felt better. But in my head, I thought, if I eat something small instead of taking a slim fast, I'll lost weight faster. I wrote down what I ate. I became obsessed. I really was. I would go to the library and get books and books on weight loss and calories. I used to document every calorie i ate. I remeber multiplying the number of pretzels i ate by the total fat grams. Pathetic. For a while, I would have 2 or three strawberries for breakfast, a plain tuna sandwich for lunch, then a slim fast for dinner. And an hour of Tae Bo afterwards, or a sit up video. My mom started making me eat more. I had rice cakes before i had my usual dinner slim fast. I remember one day, I did an hour of Tae Bo, and then a 50 minute cardio video. Then I rode my bike. It was alot. I was 92 pounds at my thinest. I felt like if I just lost more weight, I'd be happier. Luckily, I've didn't lose anymore weight. I started eating normally in about July. I was upset because I had absolutely no tits. I didn't get my period for months.46. My dad calls boobs "busems"47. I never feel like Im good enough.48. "Parent's just don't understand"-Will Smith49. Love spelled backwards is EVOL, hmmm...makes you think.50. I can't see myself having a big fancy wedding. I'd rather elope in Vegas or something fast. Definately, walking down the aisle solo. I decided I didn't want my dad to walk me down the aisle when I was 12.51. I can do a split both ways and make good pancakes.52. One day, Im gonna streak53. I don't have a "greatest accomplishment" so far.54. I still wish I could morphe myself into liquid like Alex Mack. Just imagine the possiblities...55. The worst way to die is to die feeling guilty, also drowning is really scary.56. I really hate valentine's day. 57. I bought lunch prolly 4 times in my whole life. In kindergarden, I had pizza. oooo, that was good. but, im more of a "brown-bagger"58. I had a dream that my mom shot me and I died. I can still remember that feeling. I also had a dream that my 6 year old brother did herion, and I got married to a girl.59. Boobie Tassles look neat.60. One of my goals is to learn how to read tarot cards and learn the moonwalk.61. My belly button is more of an inny now, holly says. It used to be an outie. Im glad. I hated having an outie.62. I wish my name was Elliot.63. My thong hangs out too much.64. "i don't do drugs, i AM drugs"-salvador dali65. I really love the song, "Colorblind" by counting crows. it makes me feel happy, like im dreaming. I had that cd from the library one time, and remember listening ot it every night. its a good song to have sex to. calm sex that is. 66. I want to write for a magazine..bad.67. My cooch itches right now.68. I'd have to say I'm pretty good at collages.69. I made my brother eat coffee grinds once just because I was bored. He puked it up an second afterwards. I gave him a piece of gum and a quarter as a reward.70. One time, I was at the mall and my tooth came out. I felt swishy stuff in my mouth, so I spit it out on a napkin, and it was blood. So I was panicing and had blood all over my hands as I ran to the bathroom.71. I tripped up the bus steps in the morning. Gawd, that was embarassing, my shoe even fell off. *sighs*72. I wouldn't mind making out with a girl, to see what its like.73. I spend too much time on facethejury.com. Its so addicting though. Me and Holly have both made out with people from there *high5s*74. I have soft lips I think because I use so much vaseline.75. I always wanted to move to a new place where no one knows me and I could just start over.76. When I break the wishbone with someone, and I don't win, that pisses me off. But the last two times I've won.77. I have a fear of being rejected, especially by guys.78. I never really like playing the clarinet, even though I did it for four years. I wanted to play drums.79. I enjoy when other couples break up for some reason.80. One day, when me and Jen are married, we're gonna be on Family Feud.81. The scent of nursing homes makes my stomach turn. And everywhere I look I feel like the old people are just gonna keel over and die right there.82. Im extremely scarred to get old and have wrinkles. I don't even know if I wanna live that long.83. Last year, me and Jen would spend hours on end playing the Sims game.84. I wanna make a voodoo doll of the jerkoff who used me. *evil grin*85. I can play atreyu's "lip gloss and black" solo.86. The story I wrote for english class was called "Five Fingers and a Bloody Knife." Its about this 15-year old kid, Johnny who gets accused for the murder of his mother. But, really his father, Simon killed her because she cheated on him. There is a grain of truth in that story.87. Me and Jen got into a physical fight a couple times, and one of those times it was that I wouldn't give her a piece of paper. I told you I'm mean.88. When I was 6, the only reason I would watch "Who framed Roger Rabbit?" was so I could see the sexy seductress, Jessica ( ya know the one who wore that red dress with the high slit in it?)89. Jen was born in this year. I think I would be a completely different person if she were never born. I would prolly be a spoiled brat, and extremely greedy and mean.90. In second grade I saw this kid Ronnie through up spaghetti. I still remember that smell. And in first grade, I saw someone thow up on their reading book. and one kid peed his pants while he was sitting in his chair. lol, good times91. I would never let anybody suck my toes, nor would I do it to them.nasty92. I wanna learn how to cha-cha or ballroom dance. 93. Is there such thing as cartoon porn? hehe, seems interesting94. I wanna get a tattoo above my cooch of Jessica Rabbit.95. My glass is half empty.96. I liked boys at an early age, prolly 5 I would chase my neighbor Timmy around his backyard trying to kiss him. Never did though, he ran too fast.97. The guy who dressed up as Barney for my 5th b-day didn't talk. The boys pulled on his tail. It was funny I remember.98. My baby blanket with the fuzz balls I constantly pick off is gonna be my family airlome, or it'll go in my casket when I die.99. I hope I find happiness when I get out of this house. I really think I will though. Just the fact that I get to be on my own, and not have the people around who drive me crazy.100. Gawd, this took a long time to write. I'm not real sure what is showing when you read this. I just thought I'd appear more interesting telling everyone stupid stories like how I pooped in a baby pool in my basement...hehe

Insuring Privacy During Labor
I've suffered from depression most of my life. I've taken medication for it on several occasions, but prefer to deal with things in other ways. I have had a great relationship with my husband for 10 of those years. I feel very secure with him, and hope that together we'll make good parents. Everything that I read about coping with fear of labor deals with the labor itself. My fears aren't about the labor, but about the surroundings. I'm going to have the baby in a hospital with a nurse midwife. To me, giving birth seems like a very private issue, like intercourse, itself. The idea of having other people around is terrifying to me. I've had in my life some really horrible sexual experiences. I've read that this can be a hindrance during labor, but I haven't read what to do about it. It is one thing to tell someone to come to terms with such things; it is a very different thing to do. How can I cope with this fear?Question:

I know what depression is like as someone very close to me has suffered from it also. And diet, exercise and human support ARE key ingredients to living with this condition.
During the postpartum period, women are often too busy and distracted to take care of these needs and so much of the attention will be directed now to the newborn that sometimes the mother gets lost in the shuffle. It is especially important to see that these requirements are met after the baby arrives. As hard as it is going to be, take some regular time for yourself and some separate time for you and your husband together.
You refer to the literature that now abounds on survivors of physical and sexual abuse and the effect of that abuse on pregnancy, labor and birth and mothering. Although it is different for every woman, you will require consistent, nurturing, expert care. You should get that from a nurse midwife. In this day, however, it is rare to find a midwife in solo practice or even in a small enough practice where it is practical for her to promise to be there for the birth. If you have that advantage, and you feel good about her and the way she practices, hold on and develop a relationship. If the practice accepts nurse midwifery students, you may be able to make arrangements for her to be at your birth. Student nurse midwives are wonderful because they have the time to devote to a few mothers and are looking for families to deliver.
Another option is for you to "contract" with two nurse midwives in the practice. That way if one cannot come, the other one would.
I delivered a baby yesterday and because everything went so smoothly, the only people in the room were the parents and one nurse and myself -- and then the baby! You could request that this be the agreement if possible. In the event of a difficulty - fetal distress, meconium in the fluid, the need to consult with a physician etc.- it probably won't matter to you because you will be so focused on your efforts and the baby's well being.
I would encourage you to ask your midwife what adjustments can be made and/or assurances given to have the type of birth you want. Take a tour of the labor unit and ask the same questions of some nurses there.
I have had many clients with such a history and for the most part, if they have a supportive caring spouse or partner, they share the experience with each other and focus on the process and on their partnership working together to birth the baby. The midwife complements this relationship, allowing the couple to make informed decisions and assuring safety while considering the parents' wishes. She may have to negotiate with the physician consultant, buy time and communicate important issues to others, but she is there with you and for you.
Talk with your midwife (midwives), make two appointments back to back if necessary, and if you are comfortable with their plan and their care, put some of your trust and reliance in them. You could make more frequent visits than would be typical. Nothing should be "routine."
I wish you a peaceful and happy pregnancy and birth.Answer:

Any efforts by the president and his Democratic allies to pass gun control legislation in Congress are likely to meet strong resistance from Republicans, some Democrats with rural constituencies and, ultimately, the National Rifle Association. In declaring gun control a "central issue," Mr. Obama added one of the most divisive political debates to an agenda that already includes his ambitions to overhaul immigration law and the tax code. Mr. Obama directed Vice President Joe Biden to develop a list of potential changes to gun regulations, some of which he likely can put into place through administrative action.

The weight on Water....
Finally, the quest for good water in the City is over. Over the past 3 weeks, I was lucky enough to taste water with Michael from TTG.
The process was a "Summit Climb," challenging but rewarding. From the previous post, we did experienced differences in water quality change using 3 sources of water and storing it in an old water barrel. The 3 sources are: Poland Spring, Brita water filter and finest NYC tap water.
Just to drink straight from the source, the winner is Brita. Sweet, alive and light, with refreshing aftertaste. Then tap water: Still fresh and sweet, but with added organic body and metallic finish. Finally, Poland Spring: Heavier and still, a bit out of life, "Sterilized" in another word.
How about in the Ming dynasty barrel? Result is night and day. We tested the above 3 categories in a day to a week storage.
Brita -
1 day - double the lightness of the body, sweeten with a cleaner and more refreshing after sense to throat. Feels like the water I had in the tea mountain in Korea.
1 week - an organic smell has developed, a bit like fresh pond water, still very light and sweet. But not lighter.
1 day - Metallic finishes replaced with lighter and clean sensation. Feels like really drinking "Water" in its original stage. Goes down to stomach without drying the mouth or throat.
1 week - did not dare to try....
Poland Spring -
1 day - Almost as good as Brita. But still, the lifelessness of the quality still persists.
2 days - Best! A lively quality, clean, clear and refreshing (minty sensation). Clear the throat, no drying and washes all the way down to whatever!
It is quite a interesting study of what an old vessel can change the texture of water..... and now we can finally have some tea.

Yay! I loved this post. I've been trying to decide whether or not to get a Brita filter for my tea. I have been hesitant because I wasn't sure exactly how much of a difference it would make. Now I know!
We have really hard water here from the tap, and I always get that weird film on the top of my tea.
I also liked your puppy profile pic!

Thank you Brittiny. Good to know the post helps. Where about are you?

William McKinley
by Kevin Phillips
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
As part of my ongoing quest to read a book about every U.S. President, I picked up this volume. Having read a few books and numerous articles by Kevin Phillips, and a number of books in this series, I expected more than I found.
Schlesinger's series offers single-volume biographies of all the Presidents. For the fair-to-middling Presidents without major historical importance, I've relied on this series to fill a lot of the gaps in my quest. The series has been uniformly well written, concise, and informative. None of them go into great detail, but for these Presidential lesser-lights the biographies have been quite adequate.
My problem with Phillips book is is that it isn't truly a biography, but rather a pastiche of gilded age facts and figures, placing McKinley in the context of his times. It is as though he describes an exquisite picture frame and explains how perfectly it suits a portrait of McKinley, but says little about the actual portrait. A key fact about McKinley is that he was assassinated, which Phillips barely mentions; a casual reader might even miss this key fact. And we learn very little about his wife, except that she was terribly ill, prone to epileptic seizures. Perhaps McKinley left little historical record to work with, but surely there was editorial and news coverage to draw on, particularly concerning his assassination, that could have made this into a true biography.
Phillips makes an excellent case that McKinley set the stage for the entire progressive era, following in the footsteps of his hero and mentor Rutherford B. Hayes who also had progressive tendencies. This is an important story to learn, but I think McKinley deserves a longer telling of that story.
And, I'm done with the Fall Challenge! WOO HOO!! And now for William McKinley's major accomplishments and "scandals":
* Kicked serious butt during the Spanish-American War. And I do mean HE kicked butt... He was a Civil War veteran and a VERY competent Commander-in-Chief. He set up the very Presidential War Room with telephones and telegraphs and was in constant contact with people in Cuba and on the battlefield, and if he didn't like what army leaders were doing or they weren't getting things done fast enough, he had no qualms about stepping in and giving direction. The war was effective by land and sea, only lasted from April 25 to August 12, with a final peace treaty signed in December. Final battlefield losses: 27 officers and 318 enlisted men died in combat or due to wounds sustained in combat. (Errr... and another 2500 officers and men died of diseases like typhoid, malaria, and yellow fever, thanks to the lovely battle locals—Cuba and the Philippines... Not really McKinley's fault there...)
* Cemented Concreted the relationship between the US and Great Britain, which would be critical to winning WWI; Also signed a peace treaty with Russia
* Finalized location of Panama Canal (it was going to be in Nicaragua!)
* Brought the country out of an economic depression (with tariffs and establishing the gold standard)
* Through Span-Am War and economic boom, turned the US into a world power
* Was pro-universal suffrage (although he didn't do much about it as president)
* Upheld Lincoln's decision to allow Blacks in the military forces. Black troops fought in the Philippines along with ex-Confederate soldiers who McKinley brought in as officers, thus helping heal the still-wounded-from-the-Civil-War nation.
* Was GREATLY admired, especially due to the fact that he took care of his invalid wife (including reading the Bible to her most nights), Ida, until his death (she was epileptic and suffered from depression, on account of losing both her children)
* Was a good guy—kind, humble, diplomatic, principled, etc. Always let others take credit where credit was due, and often didn't take credit for his own accomplishments. He often used such skilled diplomacy with his own staff that they ended up feeling like his idea had originally been their idea.
* Some people felt that McKinley didn't act quickly enough in declaring war on Spain after a US ship mysteriously blew up in port off of Cuba. Navy officials were convinced that it was a deliberate act of aggression by the Spanish and were pressing him to go to war. According to the author, the people in the US also wanted justice. In the two months McKinley waited, which was in part because he wanted to find a peaceful solution (he'd fought in a war, and wasn't exactly itching to have the country involved in ANOTHER war), the US was able to build up a stronger navy and then SOUNDLY defeat the Spanish by sea. Also, it turns out the explosion was caused from within the ship (faulty coal or something?) and was accidental.... Totally NOT the Spaniards' doing...
* The economic upswing resulted in acceptance of huge trusts and monopolies. (History proves that McKinley HATED trusts/monopolies, and most people agree that he would have tried to control them with regulations had he lived.)
* Other than that, nothing major. Many people thought he was weak and compliant, that he had no firm convictions of his own. Some people suspected that he was just a puppet and that Mark Hanna was pulling the strings. He had a middle-class demeanor and wasn't an extraordinary speaker.
* According to the author, over the years, people have come to think that he wasn't very well educated (because he couldn't quote the great philosophers or whatever like some previous presidents could), but he actually read extensively—mostly nonfiction on whatever political, economical, etc. subject he felt was important or he needed to know more about at the time. (BORING...)
* (Not really a scandal, but...) McKinley didn't keep many written records... at all... so many of his accomplishments have been attributed to Theodore Roosevelt (his VP/successor), who was must "better" at drawing attention to himself...
Was that long enough? I'm not sure that was long enough... ;)
William McKinley is usually considered a middling US President - not in the top tier of presidents, but not at the bottom either. As one of the later Gilded Age administrations, McKinley and his cabinet are mostly remembered for events like the Spanish-American War in Cuba and the Philippines and for arguments over tariffs and the gold standard. He's considered by most historians to be fairly passive in leading by public opinion and to be the first president to use a modern approach to the press. And his assassination opened the door to Teddy Roosevelt and the Progressives.
In this volume of the American Presidents series, Kevin Phillips makes the case that McKinley should be considered a much stronger leader who began many of the initiatives later completed by Roosevelt and later Progressive administrations, and should be included in the second tier of presidents, well above where he usually falls in rankings today. If true, there's a disconnect in understanding McKinley, and I'm not sure I buy Phillips' reasoning. McKinley left very little in the way of personal papers and items normally considered direct sources. Phillips instead relies on writings by others around McKinley and some rather speculative interpretation of McKinley's words and deeds. Part of what most bothered me about Phillips' discussion is his speculation on what McKinley "would have done" had he not been assassinated in 1901. I suppose it's ok to do that, but it's a stretch.
Is McKinley the passive placeholder that Phillips put forth as other historians' opinions? Probably not. He was very popular, and did indeed seem to do some things that show a Progressive bent. Would he have brought about the kind of change that Roosevelt did? Should we view Teddy as a continuation of work begun by McKinley? Probably not. Teddy put his own mark on things and did things his own way. But the real McKinley is somewhere in the middle there as a mix of all these aspects. And almost certainly deserving of more respect than he often gets.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0805069534, Hardcover)
A bestselling historian and political commentator reconsiders McKinley's overshadowed legacy
By any serious measurement, bestselling historian Kevin Phillips argues, William McKinley was a major American president. It was during his administration that the United States made its diplomatic and military debut as a world power. McKinley was one of eight presidents who, either in the White House or on the battlefield, stood as principals in successful wars, and he was among the six or seven to take office in what became recognized as a major realignment of the U.S. party system.
Phillips, author of Wealth and Democracy and The Cousins' War, has long been fascinated with McKinley in the context of how the GOP began each of its cycles of power. He argues that McKinley's lackluster ratings have been sustained not by unjust biographers but by years of criticism about his personality, indirect methodologies, middle-class demeanor, and tactical inability to inspire the American public. In this powerful and persuasive biography, Phillips musters convincing evidence that McKinley's desire to heal, renew prosperity, and reunite the country qualify him for promotion into the ranks of the best chief executives.

Raw Chocolate Snacks
I have to say I love "discovering" new food and certainly if it is wheat free, has nutritious benefits and tastes good. I tried raw chocolate from the Raw Chocolate Co They have a great range, from chocolate bars to chocolate berries, seeds, nibs, berries and powders. I tried the variety packs of raw chocolate goji berries and also the raw chocolate mulberries. Now, I'm a goji berry fan anyway as this small berry packs in a lot of punch nutrition-wise. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't sure what to expect with the raw cacao, but a handful of either berry would fill you up and also suppress a sugar craving, they were really tasty. To make these the very best organic raw chocolate with mulberries and goji berries are carefully selected. They are coated with raw chocolate and then finished off with a light dusting of raw cacao powder. They are available in snack packs and re-sealable packs.
Now I see that chocolate raisins are part of the range. They are a "have to" try as I am a chocolate raisin lover-they are a little bit of naughty! The Raw Chocolate Co range is available in health shops in Ireland and the UK. For more info, see their website

Be Free with BFree
Bread, rolls, wraps and anything bread related can often be a challenge in this wheat-free market. They are either too stodgy, not filling enough, tasteless, too sweet or like cardboard! So, any brand in this space has a real challenge. BFree was developed to bring tasty bread that's "good for you" to the market. Sometimes when you have a wheat or gluten sensitivity, it's just easier to avoid bread as you just can't find the right alternative. It's also important to get the right nutrition when you are following this type of diet. BFree have a great range of products that are both wheat and gluten free. They have developed a recipe that replaces the gluten and wheat with natural ingredients.
I tried the range of products - soft white load, brown seeded loaf, brown seeded rolls, soft white rolls and multigrain wraps. I must say it's a great range. A good variety and they taste good. My favourite by far was the multi-grain wraps, simply because of the fact that I've never had a wheat-free and gluten-free wrap before!! It tasted great! No gluten, no wheat, no egg recipe. High in fibre, low in fat and only 99 calories each. At last I wasn't envious of others eating a wrap at lunchtime! And there's the possibility of fajitas etc, the options are endless. I also enjoyed the brown seeded rolls, they are a good size, texture and taste. There are lots of tasty recipes on the BFree website. Best of all, these are Irish products! Available in Dunnes, Tesco and Supervalu as well as some independent stores in Ireland. In Northern Ireland, products are available in Dunnes and ASDA, also in ASDA in the UK. All products are suitable for home freezing.

Delightfully decadent cookies!
Byron Bay Cookie Company have developed a range of gluten-free and wheat-free cookies that taste just amazing! They are perfect to have with a cuppa for anyone who is looking to avoid wheat and/or gluten. Once I tried one flavour, I had to try another two!! I first tried the sticky date, ginger and walnut and thought it was really delicious. It's perfectly spiced with the ginger and the walnuts and dates give it a great flavour, it's nice and moist. I then tried the triple chocolate fudge one, which was very tasty too. Rich, dark chocolate with chunks of white and dark chocolate throughout. And then creamy fudge. This cookie was a little too rich for me, but don't get me wrong, it's delicious! My favourite cookie was the Strawberries and Clotted cream. Sinful!!! This was just amazing. Strawberries and thick rich clotted cream with chunks of white chocolate! It won't do anything for my waistline, but it was so worth it! I let someone who isn't wheat intolerant try the cookies too and they just couldn't get over how good they were! All cookies are approved by the Vegetarian Society and certified by Coeliac UK. Available in some cafes, independent health stores and large supermarkets.
Keep up the good work Byron Bay and put me on your Christmas present list!!

Heinz Deliciously Gluten Free range
Heinz launched a new gluten-free range of pastas and sauces back in March this year. Called "Deliciously Gluten Free" range. The range includes three pasta varieties – Penne, Macaroni and Spaghetti and three pasta sauces too – Tomato Frito, Tomato & Basil and Tomato & Oregano. The pasta comes in a large bag at 500g and the sauces in a 210g pack and is made from corn, potato and lupin flour. They have no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
The pasta sauces follow an authentic Spanish recipe, which is fresh onion and garlic cooked in a little olive oil and then some of this infused oil is blended with tomatoes as they cook, producing a rich flavour and aroma. I tried the Tomato Frito pasta sauce and thought it was very tasty and delicious heated and stirred into pasta. It had a good kick to it that sometimes packaged and jar food doesn't have. It tasted authentic with good flavour. I also tried the macaroni pasta, but unfortunately was really disappointed with it. I followed the cooking instructions on the pack, but the pasta came out gloopy and very starchy looking and was sticking together. It really put me off. Despite that the flavour was quite nice. Maybe it was just the macaroni and the other 2 pastas in the range may not be the same. Available in most large supermarkets.

GlutenfreeRoads - The right direction when eating out
Whether it's a medical or dietary need to eat gluten-free or wheat-free, many can find eating out or travelling abroad a real challenge. The launch of the new GlutenfreeRoads website offers a one stop resource to access more than 40,000 shops, B&Bs, cafés, take away outlets and restaurants around the world that have been verified as gluten-free friendly.
The site, created by Dr Schär, is fully interactive and allows users to share feedback by reviewing different venues, both home and abroad. There's also local language translation of how to order your gluten-free meal. Simply fill in the search criteria and go from there! Users can also leave feedback and leave comments and rate the venue, which is really helpful.
GlutenfreeRoads is sponsored by Dietary Specials, the UK's leading supplier of gluten-free food. Emma Herring, Senior Brand Manager said "Following a gluten-free diet doesn't have to mean that you can't eat out. GlutenfreeRoads will help people see that many hotels and restaurants are happy to meet your dietary requirements at home and abroad. We want people to interact with the site and share their feedback and we will regularly verify and update the list of establishments using a variety of sources so that users can return and discover more and more new gluten free places for themselves."
Check out www.glutenfreeroads.com for more information. This is really a great help when eating out and travelling.

Honest snacking with the Frank Bar
The Frank Food Company was founded in 2012 by former Everton footballer Neil Robinson. He was frustrated by the so-called healthy foods on the market, so developed his own. Using only natural ingredients with no additives or chemicals and using a fruit concentrate called EnergySmart® from totally natural fruit concentrate. The Frank bar is gluten free, wheat free, dairy free and is vegetarian and vegan friendly.
The bar itself comes in five flavours: oat, double chocolate, chocolate & strawberry, chocolate & blueberry and chocolate orange. I tried the double chocolate and the chocolate & blueberry. Its texture is fudge-like and it's quite rich, like a brownie. Actually I thought it was very heavy, so you wouldn't eat the whole bar in one sitting. I preferred the chocolate & blueberry, I though the fruit gave it a slight kick which was interesting and added to the texture. Each bar contains almost 4g of protein. If I'm honest, you can "taste" the protein in the bar, which makes it taste healthy. I think I'd probably like the oat bar best as I adore oats. This bar is perfect for a healthy alternative to the afternoon sugar fix and if you are trying to follow a healthy diet or a high-protein diet. For more information on the Frank Bar, see their website

A date with a flapjack?
Have to admit, am a flapjack lover, they have to be one of the best snacks. High in fibre, energy and filling too! Not easy to find one without wheat though! I had a date and chocolate flavour flapjack from Hale n'Hearty today. I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes, when you hear the mention of chocolate on flapjacks, you envisage it being really sweet, but these took me by surprise. The chocolate on them was dark chocolate and just a hint of it, a very nice touch. You may not be a date fan but don't let that put you off, the dates just add the right amount of sweetness. These flapjacks are made with gluten free oats too, so they are nice and light. What I also liked was the fact that they are a nice a good size too, enough for a couple of bites and not too big and stodgy. The flavour in them is very good too, with a hint of coconut which I enjoyed. Flapjacks are a good source of fibre, rich in wholegrains, wheat free, gluten free and vegan too! See here for more of the Hale n'Hearty range and stockists.

Nice and nobbly granola
Nature's Path have produced some new products for breakfast and they are delicious. Called Nice and Nobbly Granolas, these cereals are crunchy and are packed with great flavour. There are two flavours - pumpkin seeds, almonds and raisins with cinnamon and the other is raspberries, berries, strawberries and blueberries with yoghurt chunks. I preferred the nuts and seeds flavour as I thought the berries and yoghurt was a little too sweet for me. This one might be better as a crunchy topping on natural yoghurt where you could just use a spoon or two of granola. Both could also be added to smoothies or simply eaten as a snack on their own. Both products are wheat-free and gluten-free, have 140kcal per serving. Nature's Path are know for their great range of breakfast cereals are its products are endorsed by Coeliac UK. These granolas are a great addition to this companies range and I'd recommend you try them, you won't be disappointed. Available in Tesco in Ireland and independent health store and also Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Ocado in the UK. For more info on Nature's Path's products, see their website

A Tall Tale Told on a Cold Night Fantasy
The Holy Father saw fit to excommunicate Lennart and drain Denmark of money at a time when Lennart was engaged in defendign Christendom from the paynim. Pehaps the Holy Father saw the opportunity for a nice little earned ror was in the pay of the mohemmedans?
Put it this way Lennart by no means acted like anyone else who has ruled Denmark. No-one was left languishing in the royal dungeons, he sired no bastards and was even-handed in the distribution of justice. He cast no covetous eyes on anyone else's lands and women. He didn't murder anyone after he came King and I'm inclined to the view those cousins deserved it. From the viewpoint of the Gesta Danorum, the Danes are used to rules steeped in rape, pillage and murder andsofrom thier point of view , lennart was the most evil king ever tyo sit on the tbloodsoaked throne of the Danes.
Been reading this AAR, and I have to say, very nice; about Lennart, apart from his kin slaying ways, he really wasn't a bad ruler, just very unlucky.

Is contrition upon being confronted with one's vileness the essence of Christianity? I say a man who is willing to bribe his way back into the graces of the Church may not be the evilest of men.
Evilest of Danes, maybe.... maybe.... Yes, I'll grant that. And upon further thought, would the Lord Jesus accept bribes?
The answer is clearly yes, but you have to pay in the correct currency. Since the Danes have looted and conquered in many lands, they should have the right stuff in their coffers somewhere.
Probably from England. Pennies are the standard English coins of the era, and Peter's pence are what the Pope expected to be paid.
Born to Breed: The Estridsen Lectures

Asger I, king, 1113 A.D.
Welcome back, class.
The year is 1113, the king is dead, and the people rejoice at his demise. He leaves behind two young children, a boy, Asger, and a girl, Rikissa. The girl is the older at 15, but is deemed unsuited for the rulership of England by the people due to the nature of her sex, they being then as now a rather backwards part of the realm, making Asger I at 9 the rightful king of Denmark and England with a cousin as his regent.
In Denmark as in England, nobles hungry for power view the power vacuum as an opportunity for advancement and in distant Rome itself, unworthy members of the church plot against the crown when the holy father's attention is elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the realm's holdings in Alexandria are under attack by the Caliph, who has united the saracens against the Danish intrusion in the region, and have declared a Jihad Holy War.
In other words, the situation is dire and death, destruction, and many other fateful words beginning with 'd' are entirely applicable to the situation, which thus seems tailor-made for a historical direct-to-TV series lacking only a romance element, which can always be supplied. Screenwriters seldom have problems in that regard.
Indeed, last year's smash hit, It Came From the Desert: A Tale of True Love, while lamentably inaccurate in every possible historical way despite its claims to portray the life of the Great General of the Cross, is nevertheless a rousing story of derring-do during the times of King Asger's minority: Boy meets girl, boy and girl have mad passionate sex, boy joins the army, girl is eaten by an deranged camel, boy goes whoring across the continent while slaughtering infidels against the backdrop of a world gone mad, boy joins a monastery in old age and receives a vision of girl as he lies dying in the grip of a hideous disease... it is a familiar story seen in a thousand plays since the Bard's spectacular A Midsummer Night's Scream, and it never gets old. But I digress.
The Formative Years
So, what was life like for the boy king, you might well ask? He was tutored in the arts of statecraft and combat by the top men of Denmark and early showed a considerable interest in military strategy, no doubt nurtured by the stream of reports arriving from Egypt. His tutors tried to foster a strong sense of kindness, honesty, charity, diligence, and duty in him, and were to a large degree successful. These things are known, but little else is known of his childhood.
Thus we'll leave what is best left to speculation to the philosophers and novelists and concentrate on the cold hard facts of the major influence during his minority: The Alexandrine Jihad.
The Saracen Jihad, 1114
Though initially repulsed in 1112 with heavy casualties, the Caliph spent 1113 rallying support to his cause. With his enemy, king Lennart, dead, seemingly by divine providence, there were no shortage of saracen rulers ready to join the struggle, either as part of the Caliph's Jihad or in adventurers of their own. By 1114 much of the sunni muslim world was up in arms, and fresh armies were invading Alexandria, armies of a size to dwarf what had come before.
There were four separate main thrusts: The Caliphal Jihad, the Kermanshahi Jihad, the Mervian Jihad, and the Esfahanian Jihad. Of these the Kermanshai and Esfahanan were sideshows to the main action, featuring armies of only a few thousand men each, while the Mervian Jihad, led by Beylerbey Savur I of Merv, who rallyied many saracen princes to his cause, rivalled the Caliph's Jihad for scope and ambition.
The Caliphal Jihad, 1114
The Danish regency spent 1114 quelling internal dissent, but by spring 1115 it had the backing of a sufficient portion of the nobility to field an army with some hope of slowing the saracen tide before all of Danish Alexandria was lost.
Holding Back the Tide, Spring 1115
The campaign of 1115 was bloody:
Campaign of 1115
Despite scoring a series of great victories, the Danish armies were too weak to stand on the offensive, so once the saracen tide had been checked, many of the levies returned to Denmark leaving the mercenaries and local levies to hold the Alexandria during 1116. Given a bloody nose, the saracens spent 1116 skirmishing with the mercenaries and rearming, with the result that they were back in force in 1117.
Deja Vu 1117 is 1115 All Over Again
1117 was a replay of 1115. It is said that so much blood was shed that the Nile flowed red the last 100 kilometers to the sea, though this is likely an exaggeration. Determined to end the war, the Danish regency threw everything into a spring campaign in 1118, enlisting the support of Hugues de Payens and his newly formed order of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, fresh on the heels of their order's official recognition by the Church.
The Knights Templar Form, 1118
Those stalwart defenders of the cross that were to feature so prominently in Danish history faced a true baptism of fire but they passed the test and smote the infidel hip and thigh. In joint command with the Estridssen dukes they never faltered and they fought the length and breath of Danish Alexandria throughout 1118 and 1119.
The first Jihad against Alexandria ended not so much with a bang, as with a whimper. The Caliph sued for peace in June, 1118, after seven bloody years of warfare. The Kermanshi Jihad dragged on until August 1119 and the Esfahanian Jihad finally ended in January 1120. Only the Mervian Jihad lingered on, driven by the implacable will and uncountable soldiers of Beylerbey Savur I, but even he was pressing his attacks with less vigour than in former years.
Now, it might be suspected that 1120 would become yet another of those years to go unremarked in the history books, a mere cough to mark the passing of time until 1121, but this was not to be the case. Indeed, 1120 was a truly great year, one of those marking the beinning of great deeds, and it is not without reason that we to this very day celebrate April 5th as a national holiday.
The Glorious Year 1120
Asger I, being then in his last year of minority, was visiting the province of Alexandria for the first time to give him a safe taste of the war he had dreamed of and practiced for from the safety of Ringsted for so long.
No longer a boy, king Asger was mighty-thewed and, standing 6'2 while still not having attained his full growth, he was a giant by the standards of the time and was on the verge of becoming a man with a man's desires and a king's ambitions. Moved to unexpected oratorical heights by the sight of the Alexandrine garrison, that had suffered so much and so harshly under the saracen attacks, he gave the famed On Obliteration speech, which so moved the populace that the last doubters spontaneously converted to the true faith.
Alexandria Converts, April 5th, 1120.
Buoyed by the acclaim heaped upon him by potentates near and far, it was a confident young man who returned to the capital took up the reigns of power upon the end of the regency. He'd by then been king for nearly half his life and he was prepared for the worst. The only thing marring the future was the likely end of the Alexandrine wars, for though his head desired peace, his heart cried out for the clash of arms and the glory to be won on the battlefield, and his other body parts held private opinions too.
The End of the Regency, September 24th, 1120.
There was, of course, one major issue to resolve before seeking the battlefield. The issue of issue, as it were. The issue was resolved by divine providence aided by a competitive spirit.
The King of Bohemia had two daughters, as alike as peas in a pod, if peas came in tightly wrapped form-fitting size 5'6 with eyes to kill for, smiles to die for, and huge tracts of land, though that's a pretty large pod, come to think of it, so this particular simile may need some work. Be that as it may, the King of Bohemia had two daughters, twins, Zofie and Bozislava, and he brought the twins along on a state visit to king Asger's coronation, obviously trolling for a royal catch.
The International Marriage Market, 1120
The young king was enchanted. Zofie had a biting tongue and the quicker wit, Bozislava the calm head and the gentle wisdom, and being double-teamed by two such beauties competing for his fancy, for they sore wished to marry this handsome young ruler far from the gloomy depths of Bohemia, the one with a nice rustic castle, splendid beaches, and the largest kingdom in the north, was more than any man could resist; the local competition stood no chance. The princesses were very competitive.
The negotiations with the king of Bohemia must have been spirited, for it is written in the Gesta Danorum that on the fourth night of negotiations the Bohemian king, being deep in his cups, was driven to the verge of madness by the relentless badgering of his daughters as to who was best suited as a political bride and, finally dropping off the edge and entering free fall while happily waving sanity farewell in the distance, he offered king Asger a once in a lifetime two for the price of one deal to take his daughters off his hands.
It being against church law, king Asger refused, no doubt with some regrets that he didn't live in earlier and less strict times but possibly also with some reflection upon the problems of too many women under one roof. Be that as it may, Saxo states that king Asger in a flash of divine inspiration arranged a competition for the twins to resolve the issue without any hard feelings.
The two ladies being too wonderful to choose between, he explained, and he being a martial young fellow who could be expected to spend most of his life in the saddle, he'd marry the better rider, who was able to keep up with him. Saxo is unfortunately vague on the competition as that particular section of the Gesta Danorum was lost in the unfortunate incident of 1611. Apart from a few words condemning ring-riding, there's nothing left. Was the competition, perchance, a long distance race, an endurance match, a sprint, or were there several disciplines? If the latter, was the maligned ring-riding one of them? Did the competition take place the next day or later that week? Did the twins enter the competition with the same glee and competitive spirits they had displayed before? We shall never know.
What is known is that Zofie Presmylid won and thus became queen of Denmark, while her sister returned to Bohemia.

Powerball jackpot grows to $600 million
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Powerball officials say the jackpot has climbed to an estimated $600 million, making it the largest prize in the game's history and the world's second largest lottery prize.
Lottery officials say the prize is growing quickly Friday because so many people have been purchasing the $2 tickets. The jackpot has grown by an estimated $236 million since the last drawing on Wednesday.
The last jackpot was won on March 30, so it's been growing for about six weeks. The next drawing is Saturday night.
The largest jackpot ever was a $656 million Mega Millions prize won in March 2012. The prize was split three ways with winners in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.
Odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are about 1 in 175 million.

Enter the code shown above:
There are lots of different ways that you can easily make bird feeders with your kids. Here are some ideas to get you started:
1. Bread, birdseed, and egg:
(a) Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
(b) Use cookie cutters to cut shapes out of stale bread. Use a straw or skewer to poke a hole in the top of each cutout.
(c) Beat an egg white, or whole egg, with a fork, and pour into a shallow bowl. Fill a second shallow bowl with birdseed or millet.
(d) Dip bread in egg, or use a pastry brush to spread egg onto bread (the pastry brush may be a better choice if you are working with young children). Dip egg coated bread into birdseed, or sprinkle birdseed onto bread with a spoon. Ensure bread is well coated with birdseed, pressing in seeds if necessary.
(e) Place birdseed coated bread on the cookie sheet, and bake for approximately 10 minutes, until bread is dry. Remove from oven, and allow to cool on a cookie sheet. Thread a length of string through the hole, and knot. Hang from tree branches outside.
Note: Alternately, spread cut out slices of stale bread with natural peanut or other nut/seed butter, and dip peanut butter coated bread into bird seed. Create a hanger from string, and hang outside (no baking required).
2. Pinecones and Popcorn:
(a) Gather pinecones (large ones work best), and bowl of air-popped popcorn. Press popcorn pieces between the scales of each pinecone. Tie a string around the top of the pinecone, and hang outside.
3. Peanut butter and Pine Cones:
(a) Fill a bowl with natural peanut or seed butter, and pour birdseed or millet into shallow bowl or pieplate. Have kids smear pine cones with peanut butter, and then roll pinecones in birdseed to coat. Tie with a string, and hang.
4. Cereal strings: String "O" shaped cereal onto pipe-cleaners or lengths of string. Knot or twist and hang.
5. Popcorn strings: Allow older children to use a blunt needle to thread popcorn pieces onto string. Drape your popcorn garland around a tree outside. Feel free to add cranberries to your string as well.
6. Apple rings: This is as easy as it gets. Tie string through dried apple rings, and hang outside.
Have fun while feeding our feathered friends!
Beary Truly Yours,
Theodore Bear and the Ape 2 Zebra Animal Associates
