The visit was very professional and pleasant.
Very friendly staff that was professional & extremely helpful . I enjoyed the visit to the Riverdale office WAY more than the Stockbridge office .
Doctor was thorough in his examination (about 15 minutes), polite and answered my questions. I waited in examination room 40 minutes before he came in after his assistant. I arrived at 1PM for 115PM scheduled appointment and left there at 3PM.
The ladies at the front were very rude and unprofessional. One in particular had a bad attitude and didn't seem willing to do her job when I asked simple questions. The nurses were very slow moving and had horrible people skills. They were very unpleasant and made my visit uncomfortable. Dr. Goetzinger was friendly but that's about it, the rest of the staff made the visit unbearable.
He was very professional and experienced in his field of study.
They were thorough!
Great ??
I consulted this eye care specialist regarding a condition for which I had been treated for many years, seeking a second opinion. After he applied the most thorough examination I've ever had, he concurred with my previous diagnosis, and discussed additional ways to treat it. As a fellow physician, I so very well appreciate the value of in depth personal care and discussion with the patient.
Very nice & pleasant office & staff.
All of the staff was very warm and welcoming . I was able to pick out my glasses without feeling rushed the eye specialist even took a later lunch time so that she was able to help me pick the right glasses! The staff check my eyes to make sure they were healthy as well as the vision test
thought are appointment was at 2:30 and we were there 30 min early for my daughters first appointment. we waited at lest ten to fifteen minutes after are actual appointment time. But in all every appointment for different people are different. but i didn't have a problem with it. everyone was very helpful and nice. didn't talk much with Doc.Goetzinger probably talked to him for 5 mins as he was doing her check up but he was very nice. seen more of his assistant then him. but that's probably because she was a new client and needed an eye check up nothing major. but like i said he is nice. and the atmosphere was grate very clean and everyone is very helpful. id recommend him to any one. *thumbs up*
It was professional, prompt, and informative.
great informative and was quick but didn't make you feel rushed
The assistants were very nice and helpful. The doctor himself could use a little more on acknowledge the patient more. He really didn't engaged much with more. I just wouldlike a doctor who seems to care
Very professional
Dr. Geotzinger was not very professional - initially. Instead of reviewing my optical prognosis, he decided to inquire about the type of insurance that I had, who I worked for, what type of insurance plan would cover his diagnosis, etc. All the while, I was clueless as to what he was needing this for because he totally neglected to inform me about what was going on until I started prodding for answers. Not to mention, his assistant had a different outcome which was suspect to me. I will not be returning to this facility and I personally think that he is MONEY driven!
Very pleased. Never before have I ever had an eye exam that was so thorough and involved. If you really care about your eye sight and care I would highly recommend them.
Visit with Dr, Goetzinger was good
The service was efficient,the support staff courteous and the doctor amiable ,he took the time to explain the issues to me, allay my fears. I am not sure if the pricing is moderate or overprices as i do not have any baseline figure to use for comparison.,
Good Service and quick. Very convenient to my home.
Very professional.
The overall visit was good staff was very friendly. But I would like to see the Dr. communicating with and let us know what's going on he spoke to his staff not necessarily us and we were not greeted by him.
very personable!
I received a complete and thorough comprehensive eye exam. I felt confident that my problems and concerns were addressed.
Love Dr. G! Always through and informative. Have been a patient for over five years. Has a wide selection of eye wear to choose from and the staff is always friendly and professional. Great Saturday hours for those who work.
It was great....
The only thing I would ask that they be more aware of is that additional fees that I didn't know about until I was checking out. I am on a fixed income and was not prepared for.
The staff was friendly, courteous and professional. However, Dr. Goetzinger never addressed me personally.
Dr.Goetzinger was AWESOME, very attentive towards me. He explain everything to me in detail.
I was apprehensive, as it has been a number of years since I have visited an eye doctor, and was not impressed with the impersonal nature of those prior visits. However, I was very impressed with Dr. Goetzinger and his staff. They were all professional - from the receptionist to the technician. Definitely pleased with the outcome and would recommend this practice to others!
Excellent Dr Goertzinger and the staff were wonderful! I was comfortable.
Very much visit.
i did' nt care for his statement of me refusing to get dilated when i didn't have anyone else to drive me home, tech was ruff when putting drops into my eyes.
He's very thorough by utilizing tests.
one person on staff was rushing me from room to room I had to ask her what the test that were being done. she never disinfected any machine before my use. the other staff was friendly and pleasant doc was very professional he did whip all tools before use. over all it was not the worst be there is allows room for improvement
Everything was great..staff very helpful and gracious...Dr..is always very informative..knowledge of his craft excellant, but he forgot to give me diagnosis of my eye problem, and didn't give the info of my prescriptions to staff...if I hadn't asked about prescription of eye drops for gluacoma I would have walked out without knowing I needed it....need to fix that .....
Very long
Wait time was too long. Young assistants for unprofessional in there actions. Paper work was filled out about patient, and even so, questions were asked. It seemed as though they may not have had the file in front of them. The rooms were freezing cold, very uncomfortable. Maybe U might let your patients know that they might bring a sweater. explain to your patients what you are doing and why before examining them. Use EYE contact at all times, and making comments seemingly as an afterthought when leaving the room is not good.
Service is ok, very detail Dr. but the wait was to long!!!
Dr. Goetzinger used terms that I could understand and explained to me in detail the concerns with my eyes. I can tell he has a passion for his job. His staff is also very warm and friendly.
After the wait, everyone I came in contact made my experience very pleasant. The tech who started my exam was very friendly and answered my questions. Dr. Goetzinger was very patient with all my questions too. The lady who helped me with getting my glasses was very helpful.
He was very efficient and what exactly what he was doing as a professional and treated me in a proper manner. Overall my experience was excellent!
Very thorough. Seemed to be a little in a hurry but the office was VERY busy and it was the end of the day. Was very concerned about my mother's vision and is referring her to another specialist. Very appreciated.
Except for the wait the experience was good.
A concerned and nice doctor.I really like him and will use his services again. He has my recommendations.
Very nice doctor and I want to say that , MAry, his nurse was very sweet and profesional

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for attending the Carroll County Animal Support Inc. chili supper fundraiser held at the American Legion Hall March 5. It was a well attended event. We had some good chili and desserts. We also had some very nice baskets for our silent auction.
In a letter from Jennifer White in the March 9, 2010, issue, the reach of Tammie Crawford's adoption network was stated incorrectly. The letter should have said: "She has organized an amazing network of people all across the country to transport dogs to their new homes."
As I promised when I visited with the citizens of Carrollton during my campaign for mayor, I promised to get a grocery to locate in downtown Carrollton. In an effort to assure that I have considered all of the service areas that would provide for the needs of the patrons of the grocery, I have developed the following list of required services.
I am writing to say a huge thank-you to everyone who heeded our call to provide supplies for the Carroll County Animal Support. We collected many very usable items and some food for the animals. As you know, unfortunately these needs are on-going and we need to keep up the good work. The Blossom Shop will continue to be a "drop-off" site for any supplies you would like to donate. Go to www.ccasky.com and click on "wish list" for the list of items needed. Please don't stop now.

Chase has been sending me balance transfer checks for my Freedom card over the last few weeks. Their latest offers are no interest for 12 months with a 1% transfer fee. This is after receiving several offers with a 2% transfer fee.
Has anyone ever received one with no transfer fee? I know they do it for the first 60 days on the Slate card, but I've yet to see one in check form.
My mom keeps receiving one for 2.4% transfer fee. 1% is pretty good.

The room was very clean and spacious and when I asked for help with the TV I received help with it.
The curtain in the bathroom. And the lady at the door seemed to hate me for being there.
It had old school charm.
No coffee pot.
Clean. Friendly staff.
The room was quite small for the price. Breakfast was so/so.
This hotel is rated high and does not meet the 1 star rating!
Motel was not easy to find. Not on GPS..Found motel not ready for us. Rooms were redone but missing extras like clock. Definitely does not deserve a 3 star rating.Cannot rely on rating if this is the case. Very big disappointment.
Close to the yard I had to be at for my job
No hot water in room toliet did not flush breakfast was lowsy my wife hated it she wanted to drive 2 hours to a better motel at 11 and I had to be at work at 6:30
Staff was Awesome! The room was nice and clean. Had everything that you need.
Great overall.
Very clean, quiet, and well maintained
A few scary big beetles in the room, but no bedbugs thank God!

Cleanliness of room, hair in shower, dust on nightstand, dirty carpet,
wonderful breakfast!!! I appreciate having a computer to use also.
found a couple dead beetles on the floor and one live one on the counter in the bathroom. The smell of chlorine was very strong throughout the hotel.

We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Watch, wait, and iterate!
We love how you're signing up to be Connectors, chatting away on the Hub, and meeting up to amplify all the good happening in your communities around the world.
So we want to step back for a minute and, first, thank you for being on this journey with us.
Second, we'd like to acknowledge that building a network like this takes time, and we appreciate you sticking with us as we work together to get the model right.
Connector Tessa Hawkins in Melbourne, Australia speaks to the value of being slow and steady:
So I'm a person who usually gets hyper-excited about things and when they don't all take off at rocket speed I deflate like a balloon.
That will not happen this time!
To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the small number of members that we have in the Melbourne team. But then realised that Idealist needs to grow steadily and consistently, and we as Connectors are responsible for that.
So to achieve this I say our first aim should be consistent growth and patience. That is, start growing those linked into the Network.
We agree, Tessa!
Thanks to all of you again for your patience. We truly couldn't do this without you.

3. It is interfering with your relationships. Are you single and use masturbation as a way of avoiding intimacy or putting yourself out there romantically? Are you married or in a committed relationship and find masturbation preferable to engaging your partner for sex? Have your partners expressed concern about your masturbation habits? For some, it can feel far less threatening to turn to masturbation rather than intimacy, fears of rejection or abandonment, and connection. If used in this way, masturbation can sidetrack relational intimacy.
4. Masturbation negatively impacts how you feel about yourself. When you masturbate, are you more in touch with your body, your sensations, and your spirituality, or do you feel more numb, lonely, and spiritually disconnected? If you feel less connected after masturbating, you might want to take a look at what role masturbation is playing for you.
5. You feel shame about it. Whether the shame is surfacing because of your religious beliefs, societal messages, or family views, shame can be extremely damaging. Shame frequently leads to even further secrecy and maintaining a double life where you look good on the outside but don't feel so good on the inside. It is really important to talk to someone about this shame, since it typically deepens over time.
6. You have tried to cut down or stop masturbating but you continue anyway. One main criterion that a behavior has become addictive is loss of control over the activity. If you have made repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop, or if your behaviors have escalated in the amount of time spent, the frequency, or the intensity of the behaviors, it'd be a good idea to talk to a professional who can help.
7. You have become obsessed or preoccupied with masturbation. If you have become preoccupied with thoughts about when and how you will be able to masturbate, there's a good chance it might be a problematic behavior for you.
These seven signs are by no means exhaustive, but my hope is to provide a few indicators where masturbation might have moved into an unhealthy place for you.
If you identified with one or more of these warning signs, I would encourage you to reflect on your use of masturbation and what it means to you. If you have a safe person who you can trust, talk to them about it. If you feel like you might be masturbating compulsively, it's really important to talk to a professional who can help. Addictive behaviors don't get better on their own, so talk to someone who has been properly trained to deal with sex addiction or compulsive sexual behaviors. I am available to answer any questions and/or to help link you to someone who might be able to help you.4 Reasons Why Women Should Masturbate More Often
And for any of you who were wondering how many times I used the word masturbation in this article? Wait for it ... 34 and I am not ashamed of it! If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email or call me.

Who says you can never enjoy pizza while living a Paleo lifestyle?
I'm here to prove that you can still enjoy pizza night while being paleo. I know one of the hugest things I missed when I first started paleo was pizza. Now I don't miss it but there is still times that I crave it. This pizza came about one of those days while craving pizza. Now this is in regular rotation at my families dinner table. We change it up but this is still my favorite way. If you can tolerate dairy try some grass-fed cheese sprinkled on top. That is my kids favorite way.
Want pizza for breakfast? Try this…
Change up your morning by having a breakfast pizza. Bake crust by itself for 20 minutes. Crack eggs directly on top of the pizza and bake on the broil setting for 2 more minutes. (oven times may vary depending on your oven or consistency of your "dough"). Remove from oven and add spoonfuls of pesto, cooked bacon (broken into pieces), basil and red pepper flakes.
It's been awhile…I've been away but not because I haven't wanted to share or cook or bake. Since starting my new job my life has been turned upside down. Every minute I have I've want to spend with the kiddos and the hubby or having a good sweat with my crossfit buddies. Every minute after that I want to sleep and then it's time to wake up and do it all over again. We all know that feeling I'm sure so hopefully you can relate. I will do my best to keep blogging and hopefully things will settle at the new job enough for me to take a breath and not be totally exhausted after work so I can work on a blog post. We shall see but in the meantime be patient and head over to the many other paleo recipes in my recipe box. Look up in the top panel of the blog and you will find all the recipes your little hearts desires. And if that's still not enough head over to my cookbook links and you'll get a lot more. So let's talk strawberries! They are yummy! We all know that though. This summer my family has been eating them up and thank goodness our local farmers market has been stocked with some delicious ones. We had a few months where I was a bit worried as to what our summer was going to be in the berry department but if you wait you will be rewarded. Not only are strawberries delicious they are packed with so many amazing health benefits. If you are dying to know what those are head over to the cookbook link above and check out my latest cookbook, Powerful Paleo Superfoods.
Now let's talk muffins….like these Dark Chocolate Strawberry Muffins! These are a version of my Banana Dark Chocolate muffins where I use coconut flour. So if you like that recipe you'll probably like this recipe too. However, instead of banana's being used to sweeten these beauties I did use a little more maple syrup. I've also used 1 ripe banana and reduced the maple syrup for a banana, strawberry, and chocolate muffin. Sp4eaking of chocolate…I've received a couple comments of late referring to chocolate and it not being paleo…blah, blah, blah. I use unsweetened dark chocolate in majority of my recipes at home. It's bitter and some usually don't like it so in recipes I recommend using 85% cacao and higher. Yes, that does have a bit of sugar in it. If you don't want it….simply take it out or use the unsweetened dark chocolate (I find mine at Whole Foods).
Hopefully I posted this recipe in time for you to use those last days of fresh sweet strawberries! But if you are finding this late, frozen strawberries (chopped) and frozen blueberries would work great too.

]]>I have been missing in action and haven't blogged for over a month….yikes! A lot is going on in my already crazy world. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen I was in Hong Kong in mid-May….but I didn't tell anyone why. Well, here it goes…. I have gone back to work! After taking 2 years off to write the cookbooks and pursuing more things with the blog I have decided to head back to work. It was a hard decision but in the end it made the most sense for me and my family. It doesn't mean I'm giving up on blogging but it does mean I may not be blogging and sharing recipes as much. Then again, this year I haven't been great on posting recipes so maybe I will actually be better. Ha! I have tons of recipes in the queue so hopefully I can get them up so you can all enjoy on a timely manner. First up is this recipe for some ice cream since it is summer and so darn hot! And let's face it, we all deserve a little cold treat every now and then too! My kids especially like this ice cream due to the purple hue that the blueberries give it. I like it because it's not loaded with added sugars like most grocery store ice creams!
Before I leave you I want to give a big thank you to some fabulous bloggers who have done great reviews of my new cookbook, Powerful Paleo Superfoods. You can read their reviews of the book on their blogs.
Also, thank you to these who also posted a review on their site:
Other exciting news, I heard from a reader that my new cookbook can be found in some Costco stores too! I'm waiting to hear which stores but this was exciting news!
Now for some yummy ice cream….
Homemade ice cream is firmer than store-bought ice cream because store-bought is made with granulated white sugar, fat, stabilizers and additives, and because it can't be churned as heavily as commercial ice cream. To serve, simply allow the ice cream to soften on the counter for about five minutes, until it's scoop-able.
Happy Friday everyone! To celebrate that my newest cookbook has been on shelves for 1 month now I'm doing a giveaway!
Now for the fun part…..

Super excited about today's post! Let me introduce you to Yawp! Bars! These delicious bars are made with organic ingredients and a very minimal amount of dates (just one date per bar to help hold things together), YAWP! Bars are super crisp, and more nutty than sweet. They get a thumbs up from not only me but my whole family! Our favorites were the NAKED and the COCONUT CHAI. But let me tell you some of the other reasons why we loved these bars….
Look at the ingredients in these bars! All YAWP! Bars are made with organic ingredients: almonds, deget noor dates from California, peptitas, sunflower seeds, black sesame seeds, cinnamon, and Himalayan salt. The Café Mocha flavor also includes organic coffee, cocoa powder, and vanilla bean. Nothing like eating REAL FOOD!
TASTY and NUTRITIOUS!
One bar is 198 calories comprised of 15 grams of fat, 7 grams of protein, and only 12 grams of carbohydrates (which makes them roughly 65% fat, 14% protein, 24% carbohydrates) — really good for a snack bar.
It's hard to find a tasty paleo bar to satisfy the "crunch". Look no further because YAWP! Bars have done it! Their bars are dehydrated for 8 hours, so they have the same texture as old school granola bars — crunchy! — without the problematic grains of course. YAWP! Bars are mildly sweet and make a fantastic afternoon snack. I've also been known to eat half a bar before my workout, just to get my metabolism humming, and on our recent vacationing adventures. I also have a few YAWP! Bars to take along with me on my upcoming 16 hour plane ride to Asia, the perfect travel snack.
Now for the fun part…..
One (1) lucky random winner (in USA only…sorry) will win a case of 12 YAWP! Bars (4 of each flavor).
How to enter: Like YAWP! Bars on Facebook — then come back here and post to comments that you did it and share which flavor you are excited to try first!(If you don't use Facebook, just leave a comment below to be entered in the drawing.)
Deadline: The deadline to enter is 12:01 a.m. EST on Monday, May 12th , 2014. I'll choose a random winner from the comments on this blog post and announce the winner on Tuesday, May 13th.

]]>The new cookbook HERE!! It is official…Powerful Paleo Superfoods is on the shelves!! If you want to learn more about what is in the inside of my new cookbook you can read my post called Inside Look. There I dig a little deeper into what you will find on the pages within the book. I'm really excited about this book and can't wait for you to get your hands on it. Want to know where to order? Take a look below for the best places to find the new cookbook.
Where to Preorder Powerful Paleo Superfoods
Now for some fun! Today I am sharing a recipe from the new cookbook. With strawberries in season I thought it would be the perfect refreshing recipe to share. This recipe is one of my favorites from the book because it's a nice change from traditional salsa. You can add it to chicken, fish, or as a stand alone and it gives a dish something a little something special. Strawberries are a favorite in my house as are avocado's. Did you know that strawberries have high levels of vitamin C, making them a natural immune booster, and avocados supply anti-inflammatory polyphenols and flavonoids. If you haven't tried the combination of these powerhouses together, this sweet and savory salsa will win you over.

To Make Simply Grilled Chicken: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Drizzle 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil each and then season with salt and pepper (or seasoning of choice). Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let stand 5 minutes.
Don't forget to get your copy of my new cookbook, Powerful Paleo Superfoods where you will find 60+ recipes plus a deeper look in the superhero foods of paleo.
]]>Today, I am so excited to share with you a project that commanded much of my time developing, testing, cooking, styling, shooting, editing, research and writing 65+ recipes behind the scenes. And finally, a year later, lots of lost hours of sleep, and mountains of dishes later, my second cookbook is available for preorder: Powerful Paleo Superfoods. And will be published on May 1st 2014.
Powerful Paleo Superfoods is the healthy reader's essential guide to getting the best out of the primal diet with the help of the top 50 Paleo-approved Superfoods – including power proteins, super fats, fruits, greens, and vegetables. Perfect for Paleo beginners or the Paleo-curious, this new cookbook lets readers integrate key foods and delicious recipes into their diets without the pressure of trying to understand a whole "plan" or adopt a lifestyle shift straight out of the gate.
Inside Powerful Paleo Superfoods
Inside, I will guide you through the top 50 Paleo Superfoods from power proteins like wild salmon and locally pastured beef to super fats and Paleo-approved fruits, veggies, and nuts and seeds while providing nutritional data throughout. POWERFUL PALEO SUPERFOODS will quickly become the essential guide to living the best, most nutritious life possible… the Paleo way.
The book contains about 65+ recipes – and, with the exception of just a handful of recipes, these are new recipes, not published on the site, that have been developed specifically for the cookbook. Recipes like Blackberry-Glazed Salmon, Super Green Smoothie, Southwestern Beef and Pepper Medley, Cauliflower "Couscous" Veggie Salad, Four Berry and Mint Salad with Coconut Whipped Cream, and Mexican Chocolate Walnut Snack Bars.
They're special recipes, but simple, and all show appreciation of nutrient-dense real foods.
And now, I want to share with you a little of what I have been working on with some of the images from the cookbook.
Preorder the Cookbook and Giveaway of an Autographed Book Plate – first 100
Your early support of Powerful Paleo Superfoods will work wonders in helping to support the book's overall success as most of the magic happens during the next few week's prior to publication and the week of publication. When you preorder your copy of Powerful Paleo Superfoods, you send a message to booksellers and publishers that the ideas of paleo are worth supporting and worth sharing.
Further, when you preorder your copy, you will also receive the book at the best price available as online book sellers will progressively discount books up until their publication date. This means your purchase supports overall sales at the right time, and you get the best price.
Now for the fun part, GIVEAWAY!! If you pre-order the book save your emailed receipt, and send it to me at: multiplydelicious.gmail.com
The first 100 people to email me his/her proof of purchase will receive a personally inscribed book plate to place inside the cookbook. It is basically a label that I will personalize and sign for you. It looks like this…
Follow these steps to enter:
Where to Preorder Powerful Paleo Superfoods
If you did not save your emailed receipt or are not one of the first 100 people to email me, do NOT worry. There will be plenty more Powerful Paleo Superfoods Cookbook giveaways. Free copies of the book, autographed copies of the book, and even some products.
Stay tuned for those!
Finally…THANK YOU!!
I want you all to know how thankful I am for your excitement and support. Writing this book was very challenging, yet thrilling at the same time. Knowing that you (all of you) are looking forward to my cookbook means the world to me.
Another batch of banana muffins….but this time using coconut flour. I have made my fair share of banana muffins (see links at the bottom of this post) on the blog. I blame it on the ripe bananas that sit on the counter that call my name. I usually freeze them to make smoothies for the girls but lately I have been crazing a sweet treat at night and these helped solve that problem. I have made them with and without the maple syrup and dark chocolate and both work to satisfy that sweet tooth. Actually I made half the batch with maple syrup and dark chocolate and the other half without both so that is an option for you to try as well. Another option is to use frozen (or fresh) blueberries. I did that for a great option to pack in the girls lunch boxes. Speaking of…yesterday I was lucky enough to write a guest post on The Little Green Pouch blog about how I feed my kiddos. I get a lot of questions from readers on how to get the kids to start eating Paleo. My girls eat more of a primal diet. What's the difference you ask? Well, stop by my guest post and read a bit more about the differences between paleo and primal and also what my kiddos eat in a typical day. The bottom line is I try to involve them in their choices as much as possible so it is fun for them. They like knowing what they are eating…and where it comes from. I was fortunate enough to have started my journey on Paleo when they were young so it has been a bit easier but as they get older there has been some tricky times…any tricky questions. Like why do my friends eat "this" and we don't. Or the moments where they say anything that is on their minds and proceed to tell their friends (and mom's) that what they are eating isn't good for them. We are working on them keeping their "concerns" to themselves…which again has been hard.
Also, stay tuned because I will be sharing more about the amazing Little Green Pouch product. All you mom's out there will love it! I have fallen in love with them myself and I'm working on a post with some recipe ideas. Oh AND….a GIVEAWAY! I can't wait to share.
A lot of fun things coming up in the next month so keep coming back and be sure to sign-up for my newsletter to get regular updates so you don't miss out on all these new announcements and giveaways.
If batter is a bit dry you can add 1 tablespoon coconut milk to the batter. Instead of dark chocolate you can add fruit like blueberries or raspberries.
Here are some other banana muffins here on the blog. All different but all alike that they use banana.
Friday Favorites is here! This is the first of hopefully many Friday posts where I will include my favorite things around the web and elsewhere and hopefully introduce you to future favorites of your own. Let's dive into today's favorites.
1. First up is a new favorite blog: Meet Caroline from Colorful Eats! Her blog is beautiful! Her photography is amazing and her recipes leave you drooling. One recipe I have on my list to make soon is her Grain-Free take on the Girl Scout Cookie….Samoas. Dive into her blog and like her facebook page for updates and more delicious recipes to make in your kitchen.
2. Next up is a must read cookbook: Arsy from Rubies and Radishes has a new cookbook out called Paleo Foodie Cookbook. A must add to your cookbook collection for sure! Arsy's delicious and nutritious recipes range from modern twists on traditional dishes to a wide range of ethnic influences from both her Armenian background and her culinary curiosity.
3. Next is my new favorite snack addiction! Jackson's Honest Chips are finally a healthy take on a potato chip. Their Sweet Potato happen to be my favorite. My kids even give them two thumbs up. I've heard they are popping up in Whole Food's but I still haven't found them at mine. I order directly from their site and got them in a few days.
4. With Easter around the corner I have been on the search for healthy options to fill my kids baskets. The Natural Candy Store is my new favorite!!! You'll find find dye-free candy for your Easter egg hunt, treats to fill baskets, and gifts to send family and friends. Browse their Easter Candy Collection.
5. Favorite recipes around the blog I've spotted and have added on my list to try soon!
Paleo Coffee Cake Muffins from Hollywood Homestead
Paleo Flatbread from Domestic Caveman
Grain-Free Mexican Rice from Deliciously Organic
I hope you enjoyed today's top favorites! I'll be back soon with more….

TAPPER: Just a follow-up on Jessica's question about the incident yesterday. There have been eight green-on-blue incidents this year alone. Twelve of the 59 coalition troops who have been killed were killed by Afghan supposed allies. Last time I talked to somebody in the White House about this, I was told that the latest information — this was a few weeks ago – was that they were all unrelated cases. Is that still what the information you have says, that these are all unrelated?
CARNEY: I don't have any information that would alter that assessment, but that's an assessment that I think is more — is made in more depth over at the Pentagon and elsewhere. The — it is important to remember, as I think I noted during one of my briefings, the huge volume of missions carried out by — jointly by U.S. and Afghan forces daily, weekly and effectively, which does not in any way take away from the terrible incidents that you cite, including those in the wake of the inadvertent burning of the Quran.
So I don't have any information that suggests a different evaluation of the nature of these incidents. I — perhaps the Pentagon does. But I think, you know, we have to remember how broad the mission is over there, how many operations occur with Afghan and U.S. forces working together towards the same goal, and effectively, in preventing the Taliban from gaining momentum and taking the fight to al-Qaida. So that would — that's the — that's where we are right now. I would refer you to the Pentagon for more.
TAPPER: OK. Can I ask two more question? The president has said yesterday that the incidents and all these incidents in the last month or so would not quicken — this is not a quote, but they would not quicken the pace of U.S. withdrawal. Is it possible, though, that they could change the pace in terms of when the Afghans take more of a lead in security, as Karzai suggested? Is that possible?
CARNEY: Well, look, we make these assessments, as the president has made clear when he's spoken about this issue, when he laid out his strategy, when he spoke about it in the wake of Lisbon, in coordination with our allies and in a manner that is designed to ensure that we are as successful as possible in fulfilling the objectives of the mission.
We are operating under a timetable that was laid out in Lisbon, that includes, as part of these evaluations, the — what the president said yesterday about transitioning in 2013 into a support role as part of the full transition to full Afghan security lead in 2014. I think within the context of that framework, how that — as we've always said, the pace of withdrawal, the nature of deployments, how quickly certain territories in Afghanistan are turned over — you know, those kinds of details I'm sure will be made closer to the ground. Those decisions will be made closer to the ground and will depend on conditions as the weeks and months go on.
But the overall structure, I think, is clear. And I think it's — in the context of this, what I think a lot of people have missed, as there has been a focus on the initial surge in forces in Afghanistan and in the successes we've had there and the progress we've made there as well as the challenges we've faced, is that part of that strategy the president put in place was to have a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops, to ending that war responsibly. And that is his strategy, and he's implementing it.
TAPPER: And the last question has to do — there's been some press notice to a Yemeni journalist who's been detained. President Obama, when he spoke to President Saleh more than year ago, it was actually mentioned in the readout that the president expressed concern over the release of — I'm — I know I'm going to botch the pronunciation of his name, but Abdulelah al-Shaye, who'd been sentenced to five years in prison for association with AQAP. There have been journalistic organizations, international ones, who have protested his detention and expressed curiosity if not outrage that President Obama would be involving himself in the detention of a journalist. Can you tell us anything about why President Obama thinks that this man — apparently thinks that this man is a threat?
CARNEY: I appreciate the question, Jake, but I will have to take it because I don't have any information on it. But I'll get back to you.
-Jake Tapper

In today's modern world, the benefits of open source are moving to the forefront of conversations and dialogues where digital and technology industries are concerned. Powerful industry players including Steve Wozniak, Rod Beckstrom and Google's Chris DiBona are emphasizing the need for industries and digital brands to embrace open source-based policies.
The general consensus is that open source can scale brands and their projects in ways that never existed even ten years ago. From politics to increasing a brand's international presence, open source is the new strategy to be applied.
Steve Wozniak argues that better lives can be lived through the use of technology and devices. He notes, however, that this can only be achieved if individuals are willing to collaborate, share ideas and create an open flow of information.
The benefits of open source are approached in a variety of fascinating and progressive ways here.

'Brand Africa needs an authentic story.'
Michelle Harrison, CEO of WPP Government & Public Sector Practice, spoke in a panel discussion at the New York Forum in Africa. The panel also included Louise Mushikiwabo, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Rwanda. The theme under discussion was Transforming the African Brand to unlock sustainable growth, improve reputation, and increase competitiveness for the continent.
In a follow-up interview by NYFA TV, Michelle highlighted the importance of moving from tactical tourist campaigns to long-term, strategic branding for Africa. Coordinated government efforts and support from established professional practices are key to meeting the challenge.

Update News
Alright, since it's dA's 14th birthday, we are encouraged to give a little of our own story and experiences on dA. To start, I've been on dA for 11 years, so you could say I'm about the same time as when this place was just a early baby years. I never changed my account and I was previously known as Celestialspirity. Not sure how I came up with that name before.
Normally I don't delete submissions but I did clean out from time to time. And I started out when I was still in high school.
My earlier work was still done on paper and pen with a scanner. Work such as .
Then I started playing around and decided to try using CG but during the time I was still using scanner so it was pretty interesting to me. Keeping a lot of sketchbooks too.
One year I've had a strange idea of making group picture for my new dA friends starting with .
Then it became a habit of doing it once in a while when I have increase of friends.
Then there's this one. The last one I did was and I was very happy able to finish it.
Right now my current Project Spirit Card is planned to look like the group picture when they are done but it is a very slow progress than what I used to do and likely would have a lot of issues since I expect it to use up a lot of my memory in my computer to run it.
As for my character origin, right now is mostly Nez and Nightmare which are pretty much Gemini.
I do have a few stories but most of them ended up sitting aside whereas being the story based on characters I've met in dA and is more active than rest. Over the years the story was being alternated and changed because of issues with friends and thus most main cast being my own creation instead of friends' characters. Also I started using tablet during this time.
As I lurk around dA I did came across a lot of friends, some actually lost contact or we were no longer friends which were unfortunate. However, there are those who sticks around and I am very grateful to them.
Because of all these years being on dA, my main three gals pretty much are set as Dezi, Siena and Nemimi. .
Anyways, my history here in dA isn't a very impressive nor eventful as most others, it's a place where I have met most of my online friends and artists, those who sticks around all these years, I thank you. Those who just met me not too long ago, hopefully you'll stay around and extend our friendship.
Now go and tell YOUR story!

Courtesy of Red Mountain boys tennis coach Terry Graves: What a match. It was unbelievable. Came down to 3 tie-breakers to decide it.
Cade Lortie Red Mts. Captain and best player took down Sam Wang in the third set tiebreak, 10-6.
Then David Wilding from Red MT. took out Hamilton's #5 player Alex Yuwan in the third set tiebreak 11-9.
Red Mountain was leading 4-2 going into doubles, we thought we had them, not too soon, the Huskies play some of the best doubles in the state, they have incredible volleys.
The Huskies took the #1 doubles 8-3, they also took a surprising #2 doubles with a 8-6 win, We thought that was ours for sure..... You never know in tennis (unless you are playing McEnroe or unfortunately, Brophy).
The match is now all tied up at 4-all. It comes down to #3 doubles, back and forth all the way, guys are having trouble holding serve. We are down 6-7, with Sam McCauley serving and he comes over on the changeover, and says hey coach what do you think about serving and volleying this serve game, I said sounds great, that is what you are supposed to do, try it, but be careful and play smart! He did it to perfection winning a love serve game to make it 7 all. Eventually, we go into tiebreaker to decide the match at 8 all. We win the tiebreak 7-1 and try not to get too excited, because we know we have to play them again next Thursday.
#1 Cade Lortie RM def Wang Hamilton 5-7,6-4,10-6
#2 Yuwan Hamilton def Royal RM 4-6,6-2,8-10

Please help me.My three 6 feet tall orange Exbury azaleas are in full bloom but I noticed that all the leaves are eaten by tiny worms. I hand smashed them and then I applied dishwasher liquid spray with a germacide additive to the leaves only-probably very weak).Yesturday I planted 2 small but full Yellow/orange Exburys and they are not yet touched, but even so I sprayed them (the leaves) with the dishwasher liquid(not the flowers).
1. Will the leaves come back this spring and through the summer. 2.What must I spray them with ? Orthene? |

There is more than one species of caterpillar that can do this. They're hard to see, so their presence usually isn't noticed until they've done considerable damage. The leaves which have already been munched on will not, unfortunately, regenerate. Once control is achieved, though, no other leaves will be damaged. Orthene will certainly work, but you really don't need such a heavy duty chemical. The soap may have helped, but soap based insecticides designed specifically for plants would be a surer thing. I've found neem extract in oil to be very effective - kills the caterpillars and the oil smothers any eggs. There are several brands available of this safe product. |

For as long as I can remember, I've made up stories. Initially to get out of trouble at home but later because of my love for books and reading. My early efforts featured my favourite book and TV characters. I had a taste for the dramatic even then which has carried over into my adult work. It was an easy decision to write for the Young Adult market, as Young Adult and children's fantasy makes up a large majority of my book collection. People often ask me why I write fantasy, and I always give the same answer. There are no rules. Anything is allowed, as long as it's believable. If the characters behave in a way people can relate to, it doesn't matter what their situation is. I tried romance and historical fiction but these efforts soon found their way into the Recycle Bin on my laptop.
I decided to aim at the ebook market. My first novel 'Sacrifice' was released in January 2012. This was followed in July 2012 with two connected books: 'The Hand Of Destiny book 1 The Appointed', and 'the Hand of Destiny book 2 The Betrayer'.
The biggest wonder of my life is how I'm able to write a 200 plus page book but find it impossible to come up with two sentences for a birthday card.
Away from reading and writing books, I love playing piano for business and pleasure. Before concentrating on my book writing, I used to write songs as well. Maybe I should combine both passions and write a musical.

Hokiang, (Chinese: 合江; pinyin: Héjiāng) was a province in Northeast China, which was established in 1945. It was c.52,300 sq mi (135,500 km²) in size and the provincial capital was Jiamusi.
Medieval history[edit]
From 698 to 936, the Mohe-Korean kingdom of Balhae (Bohai) occupied northern Korea and parts of Northeast China and Primorsky Krai, consisting of the Nanai, the Udege, and the Evenks and descendants of the Tungus-speaking people and the people of the recently fallen Goguryeo kingdom in Korea. Hejiang settled at this moment by Northern Mohe tribes were submitted to Balhae Kingdom under King Mun and reign King Seon's reign (818-830) :
- Funie Mohe (Hanja/Hanzi: 拂涅靺鞨; pinyin: Fúniè Mòhé; Hangul: 불녈말갈; RR: Bulnyeol Malgal) were located on the south between Hejiang Province and Songjiang Province
- Tieli Mohe (Hanja/Hanzi: 鐵利靺鞨; pinyin: Tiělì Mòhé; Hangul: 철리말갈; RR: Cheolli Malgal) on the west of Hejiang Province
- Heishui Mohe (Hanja/Hanzi: 黑水靺鞨;; pinyin: Hēishuǐ Mòhé; Hangul: 흑수말갈; RR: Heuksu Malgal) roughly between the north of Hejiang Province (Shuangyashan, Jiamusi, Hegang and Yichun) and the south of actual Khabarovsk Krai (Bikin, Vyazemsky, Lazo and Khabarovsk neighbourhood).
King Seon administrated their territories by creating three prefectures :
Balhae was an early feudal medieval state of Eastern Asia, which developed its industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, and had its own cultural traditions and art. People of Balhae maintained political, economic and cultural contacts with the southern Chinese Tang Dynasty, as well as Korea and Japan.

Apple Stuffed Pork Loin Roast
- Total Time:
- 3 hr 5 min
- Prep:
- 10 min
- Inactive:
- 1 hr 10 min
- Cook:
- 1 hr 45 min
- Yield:
- 6 to 8 servings
- Level:
- Easy
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
- 8 fresh sage leaves
- 2 cups thick-cut white bread cubes, crusts removed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 to 1 cup chicken broth, plus more if needed
- 1 (3 pound) pork loin roast, butterflied
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, apples and sage. Saute until softened. Remove from the heat and gently stir in the bread, egg, butter and salt and pepper. Add the chicken broth gradually until everything is moistened. Let the stuffing mixture cool completely before putting it in the pork loin. Spoon the stuffing down the pork, horizontally, in a line. Roll the pork over the stuffing, jelly roll style, ending with the seam down and fat side up. Lightly score the fat, in a diamond pattern, with a sharp knife. Tightly tie the pork roast up with butcher's twine, season it with more salt and pepper, and transfer to a roasting pan. Roast the pork in a preheated oven for about 90 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with apples and fresh herbs.

I was also concerned about the stuffing being too mushy, so all I did was precook the stuffing. Stick it in the oven on 375 for about 30 minutes to dry it out a bit and then stuff the pork. It really helps and mine was not mushy at all! The pork loin came out of the oven very moist and tender, but just for added flavor I served a sage brown butter sauce over the top which really finished it off.
Just a few suggestions for anyone having problems with the recipe. I dont know if I would make it again since I just like to try new recipes all the time, however it is certainly tasty enough to make again should I desire.
We had plenty of extra stuffing, so I made sure to keep it and eat along with the pork. It was SO GOOD. Such a great stuffing. Thanks Paula for continuing to amaze our taste buds!

The eighth annual Sechelt Arts Festival broke all kinds of moulds, firstly by becoming a 12-day event jam-packed with every kind of art for every kind of audience imaginable.
In both free and ticketed events, collaborative art was the theme for the festival. Coordinator Nancy Cottingham Powell consciously invited artists of all disciplines to make their work together.
"I looked for artists who already collaborate in their work, as well as artists who were willing to take that creative leap and work with others," Cottingham Powell said.
The results, generously sponsored by the District of Sechelt and other grantors and sponsors, were spectacular for artists and audiences both.
"This year's festival combined the talents of local musicians, performers, artists, dancers, writers, archivists, puppeteers, and even a clown - it was great fun and highlighted the incredible diversity of the Coast's arts community," said the District of Sechelt's Arts coordinator Siobhán Smith. "Nancy Cottingham Powell and the Sechelt Arts Festival significantly contributes to the cultural fabric of the community."
Making art, whether music, painting or dancing, for example, is one thing when by yourself, with your dance company or band of musicians. Most artists are familiar with creating their work this way. And we, as an audience, are familiar with having that format presented to us on stage or in a gallery. But put together a couple of musicians who don't usually play together, a few dancers, some painters and a sculptor on a stage live at the same time creating one work, and it's a whole different thing for everyone onstage and off. The artists are challenged in ways they have never been, and the audience is as well. Just throw "the box" away.
The resulting works thrilled audiences, who want to experience more collaborative pieces, and the artists, who are now making art they had never before conceptualised. Some are continuing to explore multi-media live collaborations with those they partnered with for the festival, and others are seeking new people to collaborate with. It is an exciting time on the Sunshine Coast in the art world. More than 2,500 people attended this year's festival, and experienced the work of 131 artists.
"There is a large number of professional and semi-professional artists on the Coast," Cottingham-Powell said. "It's all here. Asking them to collaborate on live pieces is a way of asking them to step up their creativity. It was fun.
"I basically ran around and planted seeds, dropped ideas into ears, and waited to see what would come out of it. I didn't produce the showcases; I wanted the artists to do that. I wanted to help artists by planting those seeds, and then provided the stages, marketing, box office, logistical support for their collaborations,"
There was also a conscious decision to move the festival from August, when there are plenty of festivals on the Sunshine Coast, to October, when it is quieter.
"I wanted to partner with the Crawl, offer complementary programming, not try to compete with it," she said. "However, I learned that there is just too much going on during the Crawl, so next year there will be a scheduling change of a week. That way, more people can participate in both and not feel too stretched."

2012 Buick LaCrosse
Choose Buick LaCrosse Style:
C/D Overview:
Buick's sleek LaCrosse offers serenity and comfort at an attractive price. A new eAssist feature on four-cylinder models boosts fuel economy by 25 percent. A revised V-6 makes 23 more horsepower. The feel is sporty, for a Buick, and the interior is decent.
Base Price: $31,045 - $39,695
Secure and sporty manners, strong V-6, modern exterior, big back seat.
Still a bit too shiny for some, still some cheapness in the cabin.
What's New
Redesigned for 2010; the V-6 receives several upgrades and gains 23 horsepower.
Behind The Wheel
It's not exactly a BMW, but the LaCrosse is more fun to drive than the Lexus ES. The structure is solid and the ride firm. Brisk acceleration is possible with the powerful 3.6-liter V-6.
