Yesterday was high school graduation, and I was up until 4 AM at the senior celebration thing. I'm exhausted, but wow. It was fun.
Oh, and by the way, I do not recommend cigars. I had one because it's a tradition to smoke cigars on the Cathedral steps, where we graduate, and I could not and did not want to finish it. They're revolting, and whoever invented them was ill. Still, it was a fun experience all the same ^^.

Congrats Fable!!
Today was our senior-banquet thingy. It was funny, and I got pointed out for always having a book. In three years, I will only be remembered as a shadow in the back corner of a classroom with my nose stuck in a book.
Today was my last day of classes - one presentation, one exam, and then it's graduation!

Today I broke in my spiffy new mini-server. It's running Ubuntu Linux (server edition) and working very smoothly as a combined file server and web development sandbox for my home network. I'm very pleased. It eats very little electricity (less than 12 watts most of the time), has ample computing power for my purposes (1.6 Ghz processor, 2 GB RAM), and cost fairly little (USD $310 for everything, including shipping).
And it's
utterly silent
. There are no fans at all, the whole thing is cooled with heatsinks and nothing more. The only moving part is the hard drive, which is a laptop hard drive and so quiet that I couldn't hear it running even when I had the case off and held my ear to it.
Also, I had a meeting and finally FINALLY got some headway on this contract job that's been percolating for the last, oh, twelve months.
Today I'm a happy Tin-man. ^_^

Today I have had a rather lovely day.
This morning I had my second exam, it did not go very well, it didn't go badly either. Then I got the marks for two of my essays, they're pretty good.
What made today so nice was that after my exam I took my mum to one of my favourite cafes for lunch and afterwards we took Jet to the park. Today is a gorgeous sunny day and the park was fun, my mum bought ice cream, which of course I had to share with Jet. Jet had a fun time rolling in the grass and chasing a ball, she's six years old and the fastest dog I've ever seen, yet she hasn't mastered stopping so when she was chasing the ball she fell and rolled few times.
She's a dingbat.
Yes, today has been a lovely day, the only thing bringing me down is that I have an exam next week and this is the one that I'm really worried about. But it was nice to just relax and have some fun for a while. I also took some pictures but I can't show them yet because I left the camera at my dad's house. I also am a dingbat.

Today I am ready to slow down a bit, but I cannot. In two days, I'm off on my senior road trip, which largely manifested because I wouldn't let it die, and now we're all driving up north and camping for four days, which is going to be SO AWESOME! But I'll be out of it by the first night, I am so sure...
Today I wonder if anyone has any last minute camping advice?

Beyond that, it really depends where you're camping and how. But whatever happens, have fun =)

Don't pitch your tent on the side of a hill; take duct tape; don't cook inside your tent; pitch your tent at home before you go so you know if you've got everything; take a really sharp survival knife - preferably one that if drawn across your hand should cut down to the bone without any real pressure behind it, (uh don't test it that way >_<) Bring extra matches, ground pegs and some decent lengths of cord incase you need to repair any of the lines.

Animal attacks really aren't that big a problem. Really. Just don't keep food (or anything with a strong odor) in your tent, and keep your distance from any animals you encounter. Guns are counterproductive, they make you overconfident. Not to mention they're heavy, expensive, dangerous without proper training, and there are often legal restrictions on who can use them for what and where (which vary wildly from one jurisdiction to another).
What is it with Brits and nature? When I was living over there I had several people express nervousness at the idea of living in such a wild area as the one I'm from. (Take a walk on the wild side -- visit metropolitan
Oh, and once on the BBC I saw one of those reality TV shows where they follow someone around in a foreign country -- it was a British girl who visited Australia, and locked herself into a truck at the site of an emu 20 feet distant. The Aussies in the show laughed themselves silly.
Once in Leeds I had a conversation like this:
Me: Yeah, it'd be like trying to herd cats.
British girl I was talking with: That's horrible!
Me: What?
Her: The RSPCA has a lot to say about that.
Me: OH! No no no -- not "hurt," H E R D herd. With a D on the end.
Her: Herd? What's that mean?
Me: <blinks in astonishment>
Me: You know, like herding sheep. Herd? Shepherd?
Her: <stares at me blankly>
Me: You get a group of cats and try to make all of them go in the same direction at once.
Her: Oh! <laughs>
I had to go one to explain that the verb "to herd" can extend to marshalling any group of animals (or people, or whatever) into going someplace. To this day it boggles my mind that
in the English speaking world could have grown to university age without ever having learned the verb "to herd." Even if you've lived in cities your entire life, it's hard to avoid learning at least a little bit about how farms work (in theory at least). There was a Chinese girl walking with us, and she recognized the "herding cats" idiom instantly despite working in a second language.

I would - and indeed do - go as heavily armed as I can when I'm out and about around any large dangerous animals; especially the most dangerous animal of them all: the hairless monkey, (also known as 'human.') It's not specifically a grudge against nature, it's just caution. Better to have one and not need it than.... well you know the rest of the bumper sticker, but it's still true.
Of course if you don't know what you're doing with it then you're not really armed in any appreciable sense anyway.

O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions Host Three Night Thriller Over Labor Day Weekend |
Tuesday, 01 September 2009 | |
By Kelly Brown - O'Reilly All Star Public Relations Director (Camargo, IL ) While most of the nation is getting ready for a three day weekend, the O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions are gearing up for three nights of racing excitement that will span two states. On Friday September 4th, the series will be traveling to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania to take on the PA Posse. Then on Saturday September 5th the All Stars will travel to Ohio for a showdown on the 1/3-mile clay oval at Attica Raceway Park. The weekend wraps up at Hilltop Speedway in Millersburg, Ohio on Sunday night September 6th. Going into the weekend, Tim Shaffer is in command of the points lead with two-time All Star Champion Greg Wilson chasing him down. The hottest race on the track will be for the O'Reilly All Star Rookie of the Year. Ryan Bunton has the lead, but Daron Clayton has been chipping away on his lead each race and is within 59 points of stealing the lead from Bunton. Also battling for the top rookie honor are David Gravel and Brandon Wimmer. For the most up to date information on the All Star Circuit of Champions bookmark www.allstarsprint.com on your computer. ATTICA RACEWAY PARK On Saturday night the All Stars will travel to Attica Raceway Park for the Attica Ambush. The last time the All Stars took on the regulars in Attica, Dale Blaney stole the lead on the last lap to score his first victory of the season. Blaney began his night in the fourteenth position and methodically worked his way up to the front of the pack while Tim Shaffer appeared to run away with the event. After stealing second from Greg Wilson, Blaney muscled his way around Shaffer coming off of Turn 4, making his pass going into Turn 1 on the final lap. It was a drag race to the checkered flag, but Blaney would hold onto the spot, winning one of the most exciting races of the 2009 season for the All Stars. TICKET INFORMATION General Admission on Saturday night will run $22 for adults, with senior tickets running $20, student tickets (11-15) will be $10, and children 10 and under free. Pit passes for the event will be $30. For more information on the event call 419-680-5606 or visit www.atticaracewaypark.com. |

Everyone knows
While most of the country is just awakening to the benefits of custom jewelry, it is de rigueur for clients of St. Armands'
"When I opened the store, I didn't want to do custom," Little confides. "I had never found a jeweler who could meet my standards." Little's obsession with perfection is shared by McIntosh, and the pair reports 99.9 percent customer satisfaction. "Beauty is the key, and success comes from designing to each customer's personal style," Little says.
Upscale consumers are opting for custom because of the "massification" of luxury brands, many of them acquired by publicly traded companies who have built sales but lost cachet with lower-priced bridge lines.
"Custom jewelry design is like couture dressmaking," says Moser. "It's time-consuming, and not inexpensive to make a handmade piece. It also takes imagination." The store fills imaginative requests from the extravagant (an intricate wedding band and solitaire created from family diamonds) to the quirky (a set of wedding toe rings and a wrap-around diamond belly chain).
Custom jewelers cite the ability to interpret the client's vision as job No. 1. That takes listening skills, says Belinda Coffrin of Coffrin Diamond Jewelers, where two bench jewelers turn out everything from custom eternity bands to unique necklaces hand-strung from fashion-forward chocolate-brown diamond beads. "The demand for colored stones is fueled by women who want to make a personal statement with their jewelry," explains Coffrin, pointing to a just completed necklace of ever-so-chic multicolored briolet-cut sapphires.
Michael Chokr of Diamond Vault, which also staffs two master jewelers, agrees that collaboration with the client is critical. As the retailer's name implies, the specialty here is diamonds—with most custom work tending to engagement, anniversary and wedding rings. "We want in-person interaction with the consumer to create a design that is more than beautiful—it must enhance each individual stone," Chokr says. "The right setting will make a diamond look larger, whiter and will even enhance its sparkle."
At her eponymous boutique, June Simmons pushes the creative envelope to truly personalize her clients' custom jewelry. "We ask a series of theoretical questions, and we really let them talk," the style innovator explains. Simmons poses questions like, "If you had a white room with a mantel, what would you put on the mantelpiece?" That tells her whether the client likes color or symmetry, she says. Next she asks if the client likes to wear jewelry every day, for formal occasions or if she wants something for the next 10 years. The jewelry personality test goes on until Simmons has enough information to create what she calls a lively but personal fashion statement. "I've been edgy for 35 years," she declares with a smile.
Mayors in Westfield Southgate Plaza does not staff a custom jeweler, yet they create extraordinary one-off pieces at Gem and Design events held three times a year in key locations, including Sarasota. The jeweler's secret weapon is Bruno Dunlop, winner of the coveted DeBeers Diamond International Award for jewelry design and other industry accolades. Now head of corporate custom design for Mayors, Dunlop is a native of
At the events, Dunlop spends an hour or more with each client, sketching before their eyes custom pieces (prices range from $1,500 to $100,000) using either the store's stones or the customer's. "I've been designing jewelry for 27 years, and trends are always emerging. The demand for colored stones—both gemstones and diamonds—is exploding," he says. Mayors typically brings in about 400 gemstones, many of rare quality, for consumers' instant gratification at the events.
The escalating price of metals and diamonds is kindling another burgeoning custom fire, says Richard Ross of Tilden Ross, who is busy popping out pavé from outdated brooches or replacing dainty vintage watch faces with hip cabochon stones.
"It's a form of recycling," explains Ross. At a time when women are conflicted about conspicuous consumption, recycling family heirlooms and tired-looking jewelry has become a politically correct luxury. It's also fun to create and a lot less expensive. "My summer is set," Ross declared well before Memorial Day. Customers had brought in bags of old gold to be reworked into chic new jewelry by a staff jeweler with a local cult following.
The diversity of
"Everything is hand-fabricated down to the clasp," she explains. "No two pieces are alike because every woman's coloring and bone structure are different. Custom is my passion; it's what I love to do."

The adoption and effectiveness of talent management practices across the finance function - from shared services to the retained finance function - is patchy and inconsistent, finds ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) today in a global survey of finance functions, called Talent management in a shared services world: 2012 survey.
Surveying 1,200 organisations, with one third representing companies reporting more than $3 billion in annual revenues, the research shows that 72 per cent of respondents say they do not implement talent management programmes across the entire function, or admit that they are not aware of such programmes existing.
Of the remaining 28 per cent of respondents who said they do have a talent management programme across the entire finance function, only one third of these say their programmes are effective.
ACCA's survey is launched at Deloitte's Annual Shared Services and Business Process Outsourcing Conference 2012, in Cannes, France, from 26-27 September 2012.
Jamie Lyon, head of corporate sector at ACCA, who commissioned the research, will be sharing the findings at Deloitte's global conference and comments: "The findings are startling and show a need for change. Many respondents recognise that talent management in the finance function really is a business imperative, particularly with the advent of changing finance operating models, and the growth of shared services and business services models. However, the reality is that only a minority of finance functions have effective, consistent joined-up programmes across the entire function."
Sally Fisher, partner in Deloitte's Finance Transformation practice, says: "The survey findings confirm our own experience that implementing successful talent management consistently across a global finance function is hard to achieve, but is in demand from finance teams. There is significant business benefit from getting it right, for example reduced attrition, greater business knowledge and insight, finance driving and protecting value in the business in a more pro-active way, more effective partnering between Shared Services and retained Finance. The capability development solutions that are most valued are those that rely on local engagement and commitment, such as mentoring, coaching and stretch assignments, which are often those development initiatives that receive the least investment. So one of the interesting findings of the report is that finance leaders need to invest more in making the day to day work experience a development experience for their people."
Other key findings show that:
- 79 per cent of respondents said talent management was important
- 66 per cent of respondents said their talent management programmes were "not very effective"
- 71 per cent confirmed there are no defined career paths across finance
Jamie Lyon adds: "When we think about optimising the finance function, it really comes down to four key areas of focus - establishing an appropriate finance organisational framework, getting the right technology in place, streamlining and standardising finance processes and of course, critically getting the people capability development piece right."
The report highlights the consequences of ineffective talent management delivery, from challenges with staff motivation, poor talent recruitment and retention, as well as the risk of finance silos developing, the existence of disparate finance cultures and poor mobility of talented people across the finance organisation. The report also implies that cost effectiveness will be sub-optimal as strong talent pools of people are not tapped into.
Jamie Lyon concludes: "To be successful, global talent management practices must be adopted locally and made to work. They also must become more effective and attuned to the needs of the global finance function that enable professionals to pursue careers across the function and beyond. Otherwise, how can finance develop the capabilities needed of global leaders in the future? This is about breadth of exposure to develop the requisite skills and capabilities. Surely we can expect some future CFOs to start their finance careers in a shared services or global business services environment and then want to progress through the finance organisation? They should have the right support frameworks in place to do this."

U.S. Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition
While the U.S. economy showed clear signs of recovery in 2012, there were enough mixed signals to make vacation decisions difficult for many Americans. Through a longitudinal analysis, Phocuswright's U.S. Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition examines traveler behavior along each step of the travel planning process - from the media travelers rely on to make destination and product decisions, to the channels they use to book and share their trip experiences. Key metrics include frequency and duration of trips, travel expenditure and travel component purchases, and travel intentions for the coming year.

- AWS Java LibraryBuild Java applications on top of APIs to take the complexity out of coding directly against a web service interface. The library provides APIs that hide much of the lower-level plumbing, including authentication, request retries, and error handling.
- Code SamplesPractical examples for how to use the library to build applications.
- Eclipse supportUse the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse to add the AWS Java SDK to an existing project, or create a new Java project based on the AWS Java SDK.
For more information about the AWS SDK for Java, including a complete list of supported services, see http://aws.amazon.com/sdkforjava.
Signing up for Amazon Web Services
Before you can begin, you must sign up for each service you want to use.
To Sign up for a Service
- Go to the home page for the service. You can find a list of services on http://aws.amazon.com/products.
- Click the Sign Up button on the top right corner of the page. If you don't already have an AWS account, you are prompted to create one as part of the sign up process.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
AWS sends you a confirmation e-mail after the sign-up process is complete. At any time, you can view your current account activity and manage your account by going to http://aws.amazon.com and clicking Your Account.
Getting your AWS Security Credentials
In order to use the AWS SDK for Java, you will need the AWS security credentials that we assigned you when you created your AWS account. Security credentials are used to authenticate requests to a service and identify yourself as the sender of a request. The security credentials used with the AWS SDK for Java are a pair of public/private keys:
- Access Key ID (for example: 022QF06E7MXBSAMPLE)
- Secret Access Key (for example: kWcrlUX5JEDGM/SAMPLE/aVmYvHNif5zB+d9+ct)
IMPORTANT: Your Secret Access Key is a secret, which only you and AWS should know. It is important to keep it confidential to protect your account. Store it securely in a safe place. Never include it in your requests to AWS, and never e-mail it to anyone. Do not share it outside your organization, even if an inquiry appears to come from AWS or Amazon.com. No one who legitimately represents Amazon will ever ask you for your Secret Access Key.
To View Your AWS Security Credentials
- To view your security credentials, go to the Security Credentials page at http://aws.amazon.com/security-credentials.
Getting the Tools You Need
The AWS SDK for Java requires J2SE Development Kit 5.0 or later. You can download the latest Java software from http://developers.sun.com/downloads/. The SDK also requires Apache Commons (Code, HTTP Client, and Logging), and Saxon HE third-party packages, which are included in the third-party
directory of the SDK.
If you use Eclipse, the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse provides support for the AWS SDK for Java as well as additional management features. For more information on installing the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, see http://aws.amazon.com/eclipse/. We'll go through a few basic tasks for using the AWS SDK for Eclipse with the AWS SDK for Java later in this article.
Using the AWS SDK for Java
Download the AWS SDK for Java from the SDK web page at http://aws.amazon.com/sdkforjava. After downloading the SDK, extract the contents into a folder.
The SDK /samples
folder includes a number of code samples:
- Console sample Demonstrates how to make a request to multiple services.
- Amazon S3 sample Demonstrates how to use the basic features for Amazon S3, such as putting and getting an object from Amazon S3.
- Amazon SimpleDB sample Demonstrates how to use the basic features for Amazon SimpleDB, including creating and deleting domains, and selecting data from a domain.
- Amazon SQS sample Demonstrates how to use the basic features of Amazon SQS, including adding and getting messages from a queue.
To run a sample
- Open the AwsCredentials.properties in the sample folder. For example, the Console sample file is located at
. - Locate the following section and fill in your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key:
# Fill in your AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key # http://aws.amazon.com/security-credentials accessKey = secretKey =
- Save the file.
- Run the .java file for your sample, located in the same directory as the properties file. For example, run the
file for the Console sample. The sample prints information to the standard output, for example:
Welcome to the AWS Java SDK!
=========================================== You have access to 4 Availability Zones.
You have 0 Amazon EC2 instance(s) running.
You have 13 Amazon SimpleDB domain(s)containing a total of 62 items.
You have 23 Amazon S3 bucket(s), containing 44 objects with a total size of 154767691 bytes.
NOTE: Each sample also includes an Ant build.xm
l file to run the sample. For more information on Ant, see http://ant.apache.org.
Using the AWS SDK for Java in Eclipse
If you use the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, you can also start a new project in Eclipse based on the AWS SDK for Java or add the SDK to an existing Java project.
Install the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse
See http://aws.amazon.com/eclipse for information about downloading and installing the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse.
NOTE: After installing the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, we recommend configuring the toolkit with your security credentials. You can do this anytime by selecting Preferences from the Window menu in Eclipse, and then selecting the AWS Toolkit section.
To start a New Project
- Open Eclipse.
- Create a new AWS Java project by pointing to File -> New -> Project. The New Project wizard opens.
- Expand the AWS category, then select AWS Java Project.
- Click Next. The project settings page is displayed.
- Enter a name in the Project Name box. The AWS SDK for Java Samples group displays the samples available in the SDK, as described above.
- Select the samples you want to include in your project by selecting each check box.
- Enter your AWS credentials. If you've already configured the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse with your credentials, this is automatically filled in.
- Click Finish. The project is created and added to the Project explorer.
To run the Project
- Select the sample .java file you want to run. For example, for the Amazon S3 sample, select
. - Select Run from the Run menu.
To add the SDK to an existing project
- Right-click the project in the Project Explorer, then select Build Path -> Add Libraries....
- Select AWS Java SDK, then click Next and follow the remaining on-screen instructions.
Where Do I Go From Here?
Now that you have downloaded the AWS SDK for Java and run a sample (or two), you are ready to start building your own application. Although most applications built on Amazon Web Services are not as simple as the examples in this guide, the principles used in the example can be readily applied to more complex applications.
This section lists some additional resources that may be helpful as you develop your application.

The fine arts department at Marian Catholic High School will host its 10th annual Christmas Madrigal Dinner at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 7 and 8 in the band room at the school, 700 S. Ashland Ave., Chicago Heights. Seating begins at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $25 and include a catered dinner and a copy of the Madrigal Singers CD.
The dinner also will feature comedy entertainment by students Daniel Blewitt (king); Anna Petrelli (queen); James Breslin (court jester); and Rebecca Hauser (serving wench).
Holiday music will showcase the Marian Catholic Madrigal Singers, and Greg Bimm and the Marian Catholic band program will provide brass and flute ensembles.
The Madrigal Dinner is a modern recreation of the holiday atmosphere of Elizabethan England, where it was common practice for a lord and lady to invite 200 of their closest friends to spend the entire 12 Days of Christmas with them, complete with feasting, drinking, song and entertainment.
Reservations are required.
Information: choral director Michelle Howisen, (708) 756-9442.

Before you embark on your next trip overseas, you need to make sure that you have the best communication tools ready at your disposal. That means an International cell phone, one of our International SIM cards and of course, a data plan to bring it all together. The good news is that there are more options available than ever before, and here at Brightroam we will help you save 50-90% on your phone bill the next time you travel away from home.
We are your premier online source for International SIM cards and telecommunication products that will enhance your communication options while travelling. When you are travelling around the world, you don't have the time to be slowed down by getting lost or being out of touch. This is especially true for business people who are overseas with time dependent agendas and extremely busy schedules. Whether you have multiple stops on your upcoming trip or you are visiting a single country, we have the SIM cards you will need to ensure you don't overpay to stay connected.
A subscriber identification module (SIM) is more commonly known as a SIM card, and it's the small circuit board that allows your phone to connect to a given network and provides said network with your personal phone number. International SIM cards are designed to work with an unlocked, international GSM World Phone to connect to the local network of the country you are in. Depending on the number of stops along your journeys, you can make use of either a World SIM card, a regional SIM card or country specific SIM card.
Best of all, these SIM cards will allow you to use your World and International cell phones just like any your home based smartphone. No long numbers to dial to make outgoing calls, and you don't have to reprogram it every time you switch countries. Once your plan is setup, you will have one number no matter where you go, and it's easy to get calls forwarded from your home number to your new one as well. Your saved contacts won't go anywhere, and you can access all of your email accounts. Furthermore, you can also say goodbye to outrageous roaming fees with our huge selection of International SIM cards and say hello to all the features you expect from your home based service provider.
No matter where your International travels may take you, you need to stay connected. This is especially important for those who frequently travel for business and don't have time, or money to waste. You need to be connected to your fellow co-workers, your emails and of course, having Internet connection is a must! This way you can make use of your GPS navigation systems, language translation applications and stay in touch while enjoying all the features your phone has to offer that makes travelling around the world that much easier. When you are looking for the cheapest talk, text and data options during those ever-important International trips, look no further than here at Brightroam, your source for savings on talk, text and data!
Your carrier will not forward your calls to an international number, but we will. We provide a North American number which forwards to the international number on your international Brightroam SIM card.
To forward all your calls: Simply forward your cell phone to the North American number we provide.
To forward some calls: Give the North American number to the people you want to call you toll free. Give your International Brightroam number to everyone else.
$2 per month + .69 per min plus incoming rate.
To order, add SIM card to your cart, then select call forwarding.
Many Brightroam customers have kept the same SIM card for years. You can extend your activation period after adding the SIM to your cart. Or you can extend it at any time by logging into your account.
iPads and iPhone 4, 4S and 5 require a smaller SIM card.
To order, add to cart, then select "Yes" beside MicroSIM. We'll ship you a SIM card that fits your Apple device.
With $15 standard shipping your order will arrive in 5 to 7 business days. 2 business day shipping is $25. Next business day shipping is $30. You can select how quickly you'd like to receive your order when you checkout.
Brightroam data plans are perfect for smartphones and tablets: iPhones, iPads, Android devices, PC data sticks and MiFi devices.
To order, add a SIM card to your CART. Then select the best data plan for you. Please see the data tab - or data plan web pages - for more details.
Find a lower price on a comparable SIM card and we will match it, plus give you a $5 account credit (which you can use for $5 of FREE talk, text or data.)
After adding the SIM card to your cart, you will have the option of ordering a reliable travel phone. Our most affordable model is great for talk and text. We also offer a talk/text/email model and an Android smart phone.

In the past, I've had pretty good luck with Lean Cuisine's Spa Cuisine series (the Butternut Squash Ravioli is amazing), and the Lean Cuisine Salmon Mediterranean also knocks it out of the park. The front of the box describes the entree as "wild salmon with zucchini, peppers & whole grain pasta in a garlic tomato sauce."
After microwaving it within the recommended time range, the salmon looked like it was cooked just right, and I was ready to eat. I really liked that there was an abundance of vegetables in addition to the whole wheat pasta (vermicelli). Although the box blurb doesn't mention it, there are lots of black olives in the mix too, which I guess is why it's called Mediterranean. The salmon had a nice flaky texture, and the pasta was cooked appropriately. The sauce was pleasant as well although I'm not sure if a tomato sauce is really Mediterranean style.
The front of the box also mentions that this entree is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids because of the salmon. In fact, according to a graphic on the back of the box, there is more than 100% daily value (DV) of these particular fatty acids, which is good for a healthy cardiovascular system.
A box of Lean Cuisine Salmon Mediterranean provides 230 calories, 4 grams of total fat and 1 gram of saturated fat (4% and 5% of the RDA), no trans fat, 25 mg cholesterol (7% of the daily value), 28% of the RDA for sodium (660 mg), or 28% DV, 18 grams of protein and 30 grams of carbohydrates, of which 3 grams are dietary fiber (15% of the RDA) and 3 grams are sugars. Frozen dinners typically have quite a bit of salt, but I think this one skews towards more than the average.
I paid $2.20 for this entree when it was on sale at Kroger. I really liked the salmon, both for its taste and the plentiful vegetables. This will definitely be on my shopping list from now on.

Kettle Cuisine describes their gluten free & vegetarian Tomato Soup with Garden Vegetables as, "red-ripe tomatoes cooked to perfection, then combined with hand-prepared squash, carrots, celery, green beans, and our own blend of Italian seasonings for a soup that is as full of flavor as it is fresh vegetables." That sounds pretty good to me!
I zapped my frozen soup when I got home and savored the tomato-y smell that permeated my apartment. When I removed the container from the microwave, I looked at my snack, examining the different chunks of veggies floating in a rich tomato broth. I took a spoon and, unable to contain myself any longer, dug in. Although it's suggested suggest using this as a sauce for meat or adding Parmesan cheese, I opted to eat it plain to really appreciate the flavors. Boy am I glad I did! The veggies were not soggy at all and were cut in large, satisfying pieces, and the broth was nice and substantial without being ridiculously thick like in some tomato soups.
I like that this soup is made with natural ingredients (Water, Diced Tomatoes in Juice (tomatoes, tomato juice, salt, calcium chloride, citric acid), Ground Tomatoes (tomatoes, salt, citric acid), Zucchini, Summer Squash, Onions, Yellow Beans, Green Beans, Carrots, Celery, Olive Oil, Rice Flour, Scallions, Corn Oil, Spices, Sea Salt, and Garlic), because I feel like I'm doing right by myself eating this. Basically, this was the perfect cold day fix, both warming and filling me up.
Each container of Kettle Cuisine Tomato Soup with Garden Vegetables provides 110 calories, 6% and 5% o f the daily value for total & saturated fat, 32% of the DV for sodium (760 mg), 20% of the DV for fiber, 7 grams of sugar and 3 grams of protein.
I found a few of the Kettle Cuisine soup varieties in a natural foods store near me, on sale for $2.79. The sodium count is a little high, but I could definitely see myself buying this soup again. The taste & all natural ingredients list has really won me over.

Every time I'm in this one little grocery store near me and I see Primal Strips by the register, I get more and more tempted to buy them. What are Primal Strips, you ask? They're "meatless vegan jerky seitan which provides high energy and high protein" according to the website. I'm not a vegetarian (or a vegan, for that matter), but I do love branching out in the meat-free world from time to time, so I picked up a package of the Thai Peanut Primal Strips to try out.
The first thing I noticed about this product was that, well, it isn't really jerky. Meaning, it doesn't have that dry chewiness that regular beef/ turkey/ bison jerky has. I opened the outer package, and then struggled a bit to open the inner one (these snacks are double sealed for freshness, they say). I took a bite of the seitan jerky and chewed, pondering. I really liked the flavor - the Peanut and Thai spices blended together really well, and added zip to the meatless base. The texture was a little hard to get used to, though; still,
after a few bites, I was really loving this savory snack.
Each 1 ounce package of the Thai Peanut Primal Strips provides 74 calories, 3% and 5% of the daily value for total and saturated fat, 15% of the DV for sodium, 1 gram of fiber, 4 grams of sugar and 10 grams of protein.
The ingredients are non-GMO vital gluten (wheat protein), water, unrefined evaporated cane juice, naturally brewed soy sauce (water, non-GMO soybeans, sea salt), expeller pressed canola oil, peanut butter, vinegar, fresh Thai basil, sea salt, and natural vegetarian spices. There is no MSG added to these strips, either.
I bought the package (one serving) from Whole Foods for $1.39, and this seems to be a little better nutritionally than Stonewall's Spicy Chicken Style Jerquee, which is the only other vegetarian jerky I've tried. Taste-wise, Stonewall's had the edge though. My experience with vegetarian & vegan jerkys are limited so if you've tried any other brands we would love to know which is your favorite - which one should I try next?!

This product is gorgeous
I fell in love with the jumpsuit the moment I say it on line and purchased it immediately. I was at bit concerned it may not fit me as well as the model. But to my surprise it arrived on Thursday and it is a perfect fit. the fabric is gorgeous and it will certainly turn heads when I wear it. Thank you BEBE for yet another fabulous outfit.

Show Stopper!!
This jumpsuit is absolutely gorgeous! I went in to try the sleeveless bustier jumpsuit, it was sold out... so the sales rep had me try this one on and believe me, it fit like a glove! I'm in LOVE. I was worried that the small wouldn't fit because I have thick thighs, but it was amazing! I'm 5'4" and 140lbs, the medium didn't work because it was a bit baggy around my mid-section as I have a small waist, but the small was magical. This is a definite show stopper, I plan to pair it with a sparkly belt and some cobalt pumps to give it some jazz.

Can't Wait for Date Night
Ok, first let me say, this jumpsuit is exactly how it appears in the picture! The material is soft and super stretchy but not skin tight where you can't breathe in it. I tried it on and instantly fell in love. So glad I purchased when I did.

Let's put aside the debate between using 'artifical' sweeteners or not, and accept the fact that some people do and some people don't. I do. I cannot tolerate a lot of sugar in my diet - it's like crack to me or something, because it makes me crave more and more foods - not just sweet foods. So, I use artificial sweeteners - mainly Splenda - in coffee or tea, and in a few of the foods that I eat.
With Stevia being the latest sweetener to be approved for use by the FDA, I decided to check it out. Stevia is a naturally sweet plant native to Paraguay whose leaves are 30 times sweeter than sugar in its unprocessed form. When purified, it can be 250-300 times sweeter than sugar. SweetLeaf Stevia was one of the first zero calorie, zero glycemic index alternatives on the market.
I tried it in many different ways - I added it to coffee, Fage Fat Free Greek Yogurt, made lemonade, iced tea and even used it in a few recipes that called for sugar.I didn't detect any bitterness at all (which you can from the liquid supplements) and it's quite versatile since it can be used to cook with (unlike Splenda).
Sweet Leaf Stevia doesn't come cheap though, at $13.99 for a 100-count box (available online). If you're looking for an alternative to regular sugar, give this a try. I quite liked it, and it's now even being used as the sweetener in Sobe Lifewater, Trop50 and more.
