Patagonia + The Lake District
Hotels in Patagonia + The Lake District
The retreat sits in a secluded valley and is a magical place to relax, fly-fish, ride horses, and experience authentic Argentina.
The 12-room property is modeled after a historic railway station.
On a bluff overlooking Lake Nahuel Huapí, Correntoso Lake & River Hotel started life almost a century ago as a cabin for fly fishermen pursuing the area's legendary trout.
The space age hotel has soaring glass walls and views of neon-blue Lago Argentino.
First opened in 1970, El Casco Art Hotel, seven miles from Patagonia's famed mountain resort Bariloche, had a reputation for restrained elegance throughout the seventies.
A 500-acre estate and spa in Argentine Patagonia. Guests ride horses around the lake then return for a traditional barbecue.
Recommended by Karen Benson, one of T+L's 2010 A-List travel agents.
El Chaltén, a dusty speck of a town situated in an unusually beautiful spot beneath the granite spires of Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, has hardscrabble charm: until recently, there were few lodging options for those not willing to camp out or share a bathroom.
While Patagonia—the 304,000 square miles of electric-blue lakes, endless steppes, and spiky peaks that span lower South America—remains largely unspoiled, the region is undergoing a full-scale development boom.
This vast 1940 Patagonian lodge is a historic monument—and an ideal base for an Andean adventure.
At this ultramodern Patagonian wine resort in Argentina's western Neuquén province, the 18 rooms with balconies overlook Malbec vineyards, and at the bar, wines by the glass complement tablas of local cheeses and meats.

A Test of Nutritional Interventions to Enhance Weight Loss Maintenance

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to compare standard Behavior Therapy (BT), BT plus Meal Replacements (MR) and a condition focusing on the nutritional control of body weight (Nutritrol) on weight loss, weight loss maintenance, nutritional composition of the diet and psychosocial outcomes. A second aim is to determine the degree to which the specific targets of the experimental interventions do in fact change in the anticipated direction during the intervention and to evaluate whether such changes might account for improvements in weight loss maintenance. This study is important because it could provide the first evidence that the current standard of care for obesity lifestyle treatment could be improved by the addition of MRs or a program of comprehensive nutritional change.

Active Comparator: Behavior Therapy
Behavioral treatment strategies will be utilized to facilitate adherence to the treatment goals in all three treatments. Participants in the BT condition will receive only the BT intervention. Strategies that will be emphasized are listed below:
Behavioral: Behavior Therapy
Weight loss using CBT and continued CBT during weight loss maintenance.
Experimental: Behavior Therapy + Meal Replacements
The BT +MR condition will implement behavioral treatment strategies in a way that is nearly identical to that of the BT condition. However, participants in this condition also will use MRs during weight loss and weight loss maintenance.
Dietary Supplement: Meal Replacements
Weight loss using CBT and meal replacements.
Experimental: Nutritrol
Participants in this condition will be informed about the evidence indicating that the availability, structure and composition of foods they encounter or seek out in their daily lives will play a major role in determining their ability to maintain the weight they lose. We will present the treatment as an opportunity to make numerous changes to their "personal food environment" involving the variety, energy density, nutritional composition, and portion size of the foods they encounter in every day life. The Nutritrol condition is comprised of several components:
Behavioral: Nutritrol
To make widespread nutritional changes to participants personal food environments.

Lamentations from a Senator
Article excerpt
"Italy has its renaissance, England has its history and America has the great outdoors."
One of the highlights of the National Recreation and Park Association's 2004 National Legislative and Policy Forum, held Feb. 25-29 in Washington, D.C. was Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), who spoke about "Reinvesting Federal Resources."
Alexander is no stranger to parks and recreation, having been politically involved with the cause during his governorship of Tennessee from 1979 to 1987. In 1984 President Ronald Reagan asked Alexander to chair the President's Commission on Americas Outdoors. "I've grown up at the edge of the Great Smokey Mountains National Park in East Tennessee and that's a big part of my being-the outdoors and the park and so for all those reasons, I said yes."
Alexander said the commission held hearings nationwide to develop its initiatives. "We understand that America works community by community," he said.
Their report centered on the need for greenways, scenic byways, an environmental ethic, a more localized focus on parks with a special emphasis on urban parks, outdoor recreation, conservation easements, clean air, clean water, and the creation of a billion-dollar fund to support the land and water conservation initiatives. The result of the report helped renew some of the most vital programs for park and recreation departments: the Land and Water Conservation Fund, National Scenic Byways, the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality program, among others.
Twenty years later, Alexander reflects on the commission's report for the benefit of NRPA members in attendance. …

Pentagon freezes Don't Ask discharges
Wednesday - 10/20/2010, 8:40am EDT
The military is accepting openly gay recruits for the first time in the nation's history. A federal judge has denied the government's request to delay her order that DOD stop enforcing its ban on gays serving openly. The Pentagon says it will appeal the judge's order. But to comply in the meantime, it has directed all military branches to stop enforcing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". The Obama administration opposes that policy, but has been advocating for a repeal by Congress instead of the courts.
This story is part of Federal News Radio's daily DoD Report brought to you by Dell. For more defense news, click here.

SALISBURY — If Westboro Baptist Church�s goal was to unite dozens of Salisbury University students and faculty Sunday in a show of solidarity against extreme anti-gay views, it succeeded.
The church group known for picketing at military funerals and employing slurs against gays said on its website it was going to protest outside a performance of �The Laramie Project� at SU�s Black Box Theatre. Westboro routinely pickets showings of the play, which showcases the real-life reaction to the 1998 murder of a gay University of Wyoming student named Matthew Shepard.
Representatives of the independent Kansas-based church, though, were a no-show at their own protest Sunday. That left a group of about 50 counter-protesters with nothing to counter � and with plenty of praise for the community�s reaction to the threat.
�I think they�re entitled to their opinion, but I don�t agree to the way they put that message out there,� said Chelsey Toback, president of the campus� LGBTQ Alliance. �I think there�s a way to do that in a peaceful manner that doesn�t breed more hatred.�
After the 1:15 p.m. appointment for the protest passed, the SU students and faculty decided to sing �Amazing Grace� anyway.
Bryan Horikami, a communications professor, wore a rainbow-colored flag in a show of support. He wasn�t surprised that Westboro didn�t show up.
�This is their strategy. They will list several venues. They may show up, but the fact that they list it causes a lot of preparation,� he said.
University police officers set up barricades in the open area known as Red Square. One side was designated for Westboro representatives, and the other was for counter-protesters, with about a 20-foot-wide no man�s land separating them.
One extra police officer was called onto duty and three members of the command staff were working when they otherwise wouldn�t have, SU Police Chief Edwin Lashley said.
The play�s director, Paul Pfeiffer, speculated that Westboro targeted the play because one of the actors was the father of a Marine whose funeral Westboro picketed in 2006. The role of Dennis Shepard, Matthew Shepard�s father, was played by Albert Snyder, the father of Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder.
�Our job is to counter the hate with a message of love and tolerance, and what better venue to to do that than in the theater,� Pfeiffer said.

What type of Secondary Water Resistant Barrier is my wind mitigation report referring to?For the purpose of the Wind Mitigation Inspection form 1802 a secondary water resistant barrier is a self adhering modified bitumen underlayment. Basically, this is a peel and stick type of material that is installed before the shingles. A benefit of this type of material is it adheres directly to the roof decking, and if you were to lose your roofing material in a storm this material will stay providing a secondary water resistant barrier (SWR). The only way to identify and prove this for your wind mitigation inspection is from when your roof is being replaced verified with receipts and/or photos of it being applied. - Hoffman Home Insurance NOTE: The answers to coverage questions are primarily based on ISO forms generally used in Florida by most companies.

This could also be known as "leftover salad" ;) I'm always grateful when what's left in my fridge also makes a tasty meal! For this salad I used two small avocado's, massaged one of them into the leaves to soften and left the other in chunks. This was topped with chopped tomatoes, tomatillos, fresh garlic, and dressed with lots of lemon juice, stevia, and chili powder. The sweet treat you see below is Chocolate Covered Katie's Carrot Cake Milkshake. Tomorrow I'll be starting a little something I like to call "The Chocolate Covered Katie Challenge".

Coolant recovery tank location
Can anyone tell if a coolant recovery tank can be mounted below the radiator? The radiator vertical flow. Thanks.
I have mounted several like that. The pressure (when the coolant gets hot) will force the coolant into the overflow tank, and when needed, it will pull it back in. It does not depend on gravity.
Thank you for the information.

With their newfound independence from Arista, each decided early on that this release would be a work of art from start to finish where neither vision nor integrity would be subverted by commercial sensibility. The album follows the history of airborne exploration, from the mythological flight of Daedalus and Icarus to escape the labyrinth of the minotaur in "Too Close To The Sun", through Leonardo da Vinci's search to design a flying machine, or ornithopter, in long-time Project drummer Stuart Elliott's "One Day To Fly", until finally mankind's aspirations for space exploration placed on the shoulders of a single astronaut in "So Far Away" and the subsequent superpower race to put a man on the moon in "Apollo", a track backed by John F. Kennedy's fa

Why?A Hogtown staple reincarnated.
If the CNE's taught us one thing, it's that bacon goes with everything. Brussels sprouts. Breakfasts. Beaujolais. It's no wonder then why baconphiles John Clark and Richard Mulley decided to open their standing-room-only shrine to swine, Rashers, which we visited late last week and ordered the beer-braised BLT with tomato and arugula ($7.70). It's served on a baguette and even better than expected. Definitely worth the wait. Take out only.

It is very expensive and I think wasteful to raise animals for food. I believe we should feed the world with the food we use to feed the animals thus saving a great deal of resources.
I am not a vegetarian but I have meat or fish only once or twice a week. I go for quality over quantity.
You really need to adjust your attitude to 'Vegetarian wankers'.
Sorry to leave this anonymously but it isn't a personal comment - just a plea to you to think about my argument.
Great recipe, by the way
Best wishesRepliesHi, I appreciate your comment but I think you need to read a little more of my blog to understand my sense of humour and to learn a little more about me... I live with a vegetarian and we always suffer the attitude i express in that post. It's not my opinion. It's difficult to read this in just one post.
DeleteHi, I'm a vegetarian and I thought that part of the article was really funny - not expressing your own view, merely projecting how many people think because suddenly they have to accommodate something or someone different. Yes, it really rings true, and it certainly made me laugh. Definitely going to try your mushroom pudding too - so thanks for the recipe. Have only just found your website, by the way. Keep blogging, Dominic. Who is the vegetarian you live with? A Viking? Really???? Fantastic!

Sorry, The recipe referred to was the one for the mushroom and onion suet pudding.
Thanks Hi! First of all, congrats for your great blog!
I don´t know if you've had a chance to visit our website, we have a new section on health benefits of the Mediterranean diet that you can visit here: http://goo.gl/JWyZR
I also like to send you an interesting video - trailer of our app: http://goo.gl/9mu9M and the media kid if you need more information: http://goo.gl/QiTGm
We would be happy if you want to distribute this information. I look forward to your feedback.

hi..looking for eggless recipes for muffins and cakes....tried a few but turned out very dense and heavy.....
ReplyDelete Hi belleau kitchen,
I just wanted to write and say that I really enjoy your blog - I am a fellow food writer and know the time and effort it takes! You are doing an amazing job. So keep going, I've just added yours to my favoured ones. Best wishes, Georgina (Fuggle Antics)Hello,
I just subscribed to your blog but have been following your facebook page for some time. I made your Rhubarb Spelt cake last summer and it was delicious! I am American but have friends in Lincolnshire, and recently found out that my ancestors who emigrated to the US came from Lincolnshire (very near Louth). I think that's why I love your beautiful countryside so much and feel so at home there when I visit! Looking forward to reading your blog and trying more of your recipes:)
LauriWhile reading this piece, it struck me: Imagine if you could post 3-4 times the number of blogs you do every week! Of course, that would mean partnering with some white-hot writers who know their way around your subject. That's exactly what I can offer. Shoot a mail to email@example.com or Skype me at content.key for a taste of real success.
ReplyDeleteDominic ~ I have just come across your blog for the first time this weekend. I am looking at food blogs as I figure out for myself how I want to re-enter the blogosphere. (My defunct blog: http://www.winterskieskitchenaglow.blogspot.co.nz/) Your blog is inspirational and beautifully presented. I intend to visit often!

Jessica and Cash Have a Cabo Beach Playdate With Honor
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren had fun outside with their daughter Honor Warren in Cabo yesterday. The couple and their little one were joined by a group of friends, including Kelly Sawyer, as they played on a volleyball court and rode a sand dune slide. Jessica wore a bikini again to take a dip in a pool at the family's resort. Later, Jessica changed into an Étoile Isabel Marant tunic dress and a Panama hat as she watched Honor play with her pals.
Jessica isn't the only celebrity who has been enjoying the sun south of the border. Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski spent the past week in Cabo, but the two couples wrapped up their trip yesterday.

The rebel: an essay on man in revoltBy one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution. For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the "essential dimensions" of human nature, manifested in man's timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. As old regimes throughout the world collapse, The Rebel resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times. Translated from the French by Anthony Bower. |

Genotyping of human platelet antigens in ethnic Northeastern Thais by the polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer technique. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 11215863 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Human platelet antigens (HPA) are important in neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAITP), post-transfusion purpura (PTP), refractoriness to platelet transfusion therapy and population genetics. The distribution of HPA in a Northeast Thai population was studied. 300 healthy, unrelated, and ethnic Northeastern Thais were randomly selected. Using the polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer technique (PCR-SSP), the frequency of HPA-1, -2, -3, -4, -5 and -6 were determined. The phenotype frequencies were 100 per cent for HPA-1a, 4a, 5a, and 6a. For HPA-1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 5b and 6b, the frequencies were 5.7, 99.7, 12.3, 78.0, 71.3, 7.3 and 3.0 per cent, respectively. The HPA-4b was not found. The HPA frequencies in our subjects were quite similar to other Asian populations but were different from Caucasians. The distribution of HPA genotypes encountered in our study indicate that HPA-1a, -4a, -4b, -5a and -6a will not be involved in NAITP, PTP and refractoriness to platelet transfusion therapy in Northeastern Thais. Moreover, HPA-1b, -2a, -2b, -3a, -3b, -5b and -6b may induce alloantibodies in these patients. |

It's that time again where you have to buy presents for your family members or find the perfect gift for your significant other. My question is, would rather keep the current setup where you buy presents for other people and then people give presents to you or not have to buy presents for other people and then people don't have to give you presents either? I was thinking about this I was wrapping my girlfriends present and hoping that this year was a good one that she would appreciate. Apparently I am a notorious bad gift giver according to my family and gf, but it's the thought that counts, right?
give to the needy , you will feel good
I'd be perfectly o.k. with not receiving any gifts or giving any gifts.
The older you get the less you care about getting stuff. I still like to catch someone off guard if I find the perfect gift, but it's been a while. Since this year we are visiting back to IA from FL via air we said, "no gifts" because you can't bring much on the plane.
No matter what, I could NEVER cheer for Dirt and Urine.
Give gifts, receive nothing.
I hate shopping I think that's all I need to say to express my opinion.
My family we just buy for the kids. Im totally fine with that as I would rather just be with everyone one Christmas. I dont care if I get anything or not. The gf and I of course exchange but thats it.

I bought my Mini Cooper S Convertible as a fun car after owning a Mondeo estate, and because my daughter wanted me to have one.
I liked the fact that it was fun to drive: the accelleration was good and it handled nicely around corners.
The minus points were the practicality, 28MPG fuel consumption, terrible rear visibility for parking and lots of wind noise with the roof up.
The biggest problem I had was that the engine broke after just 34,000 miles. A new engine for a Mini from a dealer is…

Good Points of the Mini Cooper Convertible: Fun, frugal, comfortable and 'friendly'. Plenty of zip.
Bad Points: On 17 inch wheels the ride is quite 'jiggly'. The dealership wouldn't let us swap for 16 inch wheels without paying £300+ more which was ludicrous as we were effectively paying twice (Chilli Pack includes 17 inch wheels). Ride improves if laden. Quite noisy with a reasonable amount of induction roar. Rear visbility could be better
Overall: Unless you feel you need the performance…

Sweet Endings
Happy happy weekend friends!!
My weekend is off to a good start! It actually began last night when I saw my first ever 3D movie with my dad and little step-sister. I know, I'm like a bazillion years behind the times. I normally don't go to movies because they are so frickin' uncomfortable. But the theatres here are larger, thus nice cushy seats. Shrek was pretty entertaining – the fat Puss in Boots stole my heart ;)
After the movie I finally watched Lost!!! Wow. So many hours of my life have gone into watching that show…
Moving on!
In case you have not yet noticed, I'm sort of off the oatmeal. I ate hot cereal every single day for a month while trying to clear out my pantry before moving. I haven't really re-established my taste for it.
Yup, lately I'm all about the breakfasts I grew up on – eggs, toast, pancakes, freezer waffles and… french toast!
Syrup is a must for many of these items. In these cases, I prefer table syrup over maple syrup. Both of which are quite sugary for the morning.
So I rely on sugar-free syrup. I am not a splenda addict, or Diet Coke guzzler, but I do love my sucralose syrup. We all have our weak spots, and at 10 calories a tablespoon, this stuff is mine.
Besides, the the light syrup allows for more egg-drenched bread to be consumed, and in my books, that's good :)
Wait, did I say I watch my sugar in the morning? I take that back. I forgot about breakfast dessert.
Finding this in my mother's fridge was like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
I have been on a huge milk chocolate kick lately, and I would say this stuff is la creme de la creme.
Hello lover.
My morning was spent puttering around. I didn't get to the gym until noon, so I popped a couple giant medjools to keep my lunch hunger at bay.
I know a lot of people don't do fats before working out, as it can cause digestive and abdominal distress during intense activity. That thankfully does not happen to me, and peanut butter is always my go-to snack before exercise.
My legs are still sore from the full-body workout I did on Wednesday. So I kept today to an upper-body workout. I haven't been getting as sore upstairs as I used to, so I switched it up to high weights, low reps, extra sets. I went up at least a good 5 lbs for all my weights then completed 6 reps and 4 sets of each exercise. Because I was doing such heavy weights, I kept it to straight sets and rested for about a minute between each set. I also threw some cardio spurts in there to keep my heart rate up and keep it fun :)

I didn't do any abs, but if you want some suggestions for ab moves, here are all the ones I got in yesterday's comments:
- Plank
- Cable horizontal woodchop
- Decline bench sit-ups
- Ab twists
- Bicycle crunches
- Boat pose
- Feathered peacock pose
- Kneeling cable crunch (twisting)
All awesome. I did decline bench sit-ups a couple weeks ago and it hurt to laugh for a few days!
Came home from the gym to yet another ginormous salad.
Highlights being massaged kale, leftover roast chicken, shredded cheddar and leftover cider vinegar/oil dressing.
For my fellow big salad eaters – it is important to own the size of your salad. When people come up to you, googly eyed by the sheer enormity of your bowl, do not flinch. Be it boss, mother or step-brother (not that I'm speaking from experience here) do not be scared to say "yeah, and I'm going to eat it ALL." They are just amazed by how many veggies you can consume in one sitting, and do not know how to properly express this jealousy ;)
Mommy dearest whipped up her famous spaghetti sauce this evening using buffalo meat.
My mom and I plumped up our noodles with spaghetti squash. We also cooked a garlic bread for the kids, and I enjoyed a special cheese-free piece for myself :)
Such a fantastic dinner needed a fantastic dessert though. The household was slightly bitter that Rudy (aka the gut-weiler) ate a whole box of Lindt special dark chocolates today. Not to mention, tomorrow is Mark's birthday. Dessert needed to be extra special.
I finally, finally, made Heather's famous Maple Nut Oaties!
I followed her recipe and directions to a tee:
- 1 cup toasted rolled oats. I just toast them in the toaster oven set on 350° for a few minutes. Watch them as they burn easily.
- 1/2 cup
nut butteralmond butter- 1/2 cup maple syrup
or agave nectar- 1/2 cup
unsweetened shredded coconut- 1/2 cup
chopped nutssliced almonds- 1/2 cup chocolate
/carob chips or dried fruit(One really good combo is cashew butter with dried pineapple. Yum!)- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 to1/2 tsp salt (omit if using salted nut butter)Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 325°.
- Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Scoop cookie dough by TBSP (I actually use a melon ball scooper) onto parchment lined or greased cookie sheet.
- Bake 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool for a minute or so, and then I just pick them up and form into balls before placing on the cooling rack.
I was weary of toasting the oats in the toaster oven after The Great Fire.
Thankfully, my mother's kitchen is still intact. I let the dough chill just as instructed, then enlisted the help of my little step-brother to form the oaties.
He didn't care for getting his hands dirty. When I told him getting messy is the best part, he replied "No, eating them is the best part." Touché.
They smelled heavenly (ie maple-y) coming out of the oven. We all wanted to gobble them up right away, but good things come to those who wait.
I can totally see why these are famous on the interwebs. SO good! The best part though, is the stellar ingredients. I really can't feel guilty for one of these guys when I know each is made out of few and quality ingredients. HEAB also claims they're calorie dense, but I got 23 little balls, at 112 calories a pop. It's all about the small serving sizes. I just dare you to stop at one ;)
Well friends, it is much past my bedtime (whatever that is these days). I just finished watching Sherlock Holmes with the fam and would definitely recommend it. That Robert Downey Jr. is just so damn charismatic. Tomorrow is shaping up to be a busy day with a long run, a short hike and who knows what else! See ya then!! xoxo
Question of the Day: Is there one special treat you always request on your birthday? Or, a specific treat you really want to request this coming birthday? I'm different every year, and I think this coming birthday I'd really like to go out to an old-school diner for greasy fish n' chips and a giant slice of chocolate pie ;)
The Perfect Plank
Well, the votes are in, and salmon is the most popular fish. SO fun reading over all your favourite kinds! Mostly because I got ideas on new kinds I need to try, including walleye, sea bass, flounder, croaker, stingray and trigger. Shellfish and other seafood is a whole other story. We will be revisiting this issue for sure! ;)
My family was up late last night, and I was actually in bed before my mom and Mark. I thought for sure I'd sleep in past 7am today. Little did I realize, my poodle also doubles as an alarm clock.
I may have been prepared to sleep past 7am, but this furball most certainly was not. I awoke much too early to the feeling of a wet nose on my face. He was wagging his little bum and rearing to go. Okay poodle. You win this time. But you didn't need to pass out on my lap after I let you outside. Salt in the wound.
Needless to say, it was a pancake kind of morning.
My new Dairy-Free (ish) Pancakes.
Janetha asked about the nutritionals on these, and without the added Benefibre, they're 247 calories, 6.6g fat, 9g fibre, 20g carbs and 32g protein.
I also cooked in a tbsp each of flaked coconut and walnut pieces. Oh, and I added 1/2 tsp almond extract for a little sumthin'. May-jah yums. I still can't get over how fluffy they are!
I had a kickboxing date with my mom later this morning, and this new-to-me Banana Larabar was calling out to me as a pre-workout snack!
I usually don't care for banana flavoured things as I find they always end up tasting artificial. But I figured the chances of that happening with this one were pretty low.
However, I think this may have been my smallest Larabar yet.
Next to my lens cover. What it didn't have in size, it made up for in taste. Pretty darn good! Didn't quite get to the top of my favourite flavour rakings, but it's nowhere near Cherry Pie, which is at the bottom of the list.
I also mummified my foot.
You will notice my laptop in the background. That's because I followed a step-by-step guide that everyone's favourite Smoothie Girl Deb sent me. I mentioned a while ago that I was getting plantar fasciitis symptoms in my left foot, and she said taping hers up has helped her symptoms a lot. All I did was take sport tape and wrap horizontal strips on the bottom of my foot, then a vertical layer, then another horizontal layer.
I actually did this at the cottage over the weekend when my feet were bothering me while cleaning. It helped a lot! After the 45 minute kickboxing class (which despite being at a beginner level, had a great instructor) I ran 2 miles on the treadmill. Last time I ran two miles on the treadmill, I was in pain for the rest of the day – but today I feel fine! Yayyy!! Thank you Deb!!
Lunch was the usual!
A gargantuan salad with kale, tuna and feta cheese. The dressing was hummus watered down with the juice from a bottle of olives. Gooooood stuff.
I'm sure these big salads are getting redundant, but I honestly crave one a day now. Nomnom.
I may also crave chocolate after every meal.
Another Newfoundland Chocolate Company chocolate. I think this one had raspberry or strawberry mixed into the center. Not like the cheap chocolates, this blended the flavours really well!
The Perfect Plank
After doing my Perfect Push-Up post, I got a question from Angharad on proper plank form. It's very similar to the push-up and many of the same rules apply!
Coincidentally, Lori's strength training move of the week was also the plank! I asked her for this picture because she demonstrates it perfectly here :)
Some things to remember:
- Do not stick your butt in the air. Your body will want to do this naturally, and sometimes you don't even realize this is happening.
- Conversely, don't arch your back too much and let your belly fall toward the ground.
- Elbows should be under your shoulders, or if you're in a high plank, hands under your shoulders.
- Keep your head down to make sure your whole spine is straight. It should look like a straight line from your heels to your head.
- Speaking of your heels, push them back a little. We have a habit of pushing all our weight forward onto our arms, but balance that out by putting some weight back into your feet too. This will help with that straight line.
- Tuck your pelvis in. Pretend like you're gyrating it forward.
- BREATHE. Focusing on your breaths will help you pull through.
As always, I recommend doing them in front of a mirror. You'll eventually learn what that proper position feels like without having to look at yourself. Remember, this is a core exercise. If you feel it more in your back than in your abs, chances are your form could use some tweaking.
The plank, in my opinion, is probably the best core exercise there is. Isometric exercises (ones where you contract your muscles without movement) are great for your abs. It's something you do in everyday movements without even realizing it. You'll be able to perform activities with a lot more power and ease when strengthening your core this way.
That's not to say crunches don't help with core strength either, but the only time you'll really notice these strength gains is when you're actually doing crunches. Not to mention, many people perform crunches horribly wrong, and do more harm to their back than good to their abs.
Some other plank variations:
High plank
Plank on a ball
Leg lift plank
Reverse plank
Click on the pictures if you want to see their original sources!
As usual, there are tons more plank variations, these are just the very basic ones. But you don't need to get fancy to reap the benefits. Doing 1-3 sets of Lori's version above, holding for as long as you can, will get the job done :)
Question of the Day: What's your favourite ab exercise? The cable horizontal woodchop is probably mine :)
I'm hitting publish early folks! Off to see Shrek with the daddio and step-sis :)

Comments about Victor & Lucchino Carmen Perfume:
I first purchased this fantastic perfume at Heathrow Airport during a long lay-over. I had never heard of it in 1997, and fell in love with it. I soon began wearing it all of the time as a sort of signature fragrance. No one had heard of it, so it was very unique. At the time I could not find it anywhere, including online, so when I ran out, I was devastated. I am so glad to be able to have access to this beautiful Spanish scent and bottle again! It is a very nice fragrance to wear on any occasion...soft and not overpowering.

... Well, that was an understatement!!! By 1996 I had become a brittle diabetic and apparantly developped malabsorption syndrome. Now, I have osteoporosis and look 20 years older than I am. Any advice as to what I can take {besides pancreatic enzymes] to get healthier? I am severly malnourished and have lost extreme weight. ANY support would be GREATLY appreciated!
I had a "whipple" surgery in 1995 and was told that I could POSSIBLY become diabetic "ONE DAY".?

Welcome. This is a great source for ideas and support.
I don't know what a " whipple" surgery is. that would help on my end. It deals with the pancreas? Removal?
Diabetes happens to many of us. Mine is because of high dose prednisone and support meds. There was nothing wrong with my weight, my blood sugars had been fine. I have weight gain only for water weight. But i cant take meds to reduce the water weight as my kidneys are too compromised to do anything about it.
Anyway, appetite becomes an issue for me. Prednisone kills the taste of food. It is unappetizing most days and cardboard on others. The few foods I like I can't eat because of other side effects. like GI troubles.
I did forget about the malabsorption issue. Which food groups, vitamins, etc., are not tolerated? What does your GI say about this? How often do you see the docs, and have you been recently? They know of your current condition? Thanks, that will help.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I cannot take prednisone, because my immujne system is already compromised. But, my daughter was on it for what they think is rheumatoid arthritis... I'll let her know of your experience. I guess I need to go into more detail about MY issues. But, there are SO MANY!!! The advice I am seeking (Ithink) is about easily absorbed nutritional supplements &/or vitamins??? Besides a B12 shot, I'm not sure what I should take or ingest. One doc suggested sublinqual liquid vitamins and another doc says because I haven't aborbed calcium & Vit D, my bones have become extremely soft & I've lost almost all my teeth. I currently have to take pancreatic enzymes in order to digest anything. It's apparantly VERY hard to live with a pancreas that has become total scar tissue. I wish I was younger & could go back to school... I would definately take nutrition classes!

curious c, welcome to the site. This is a very rare disease you have here with Whipples disease. I assume the surgery was to do a biopsy of the small intestine? Whipples is caused from a bacterial infection, so I assume you were at one time treated with an antibiotic. The problem with Whipples IS malabsorption of D-xylose which is a sugar. There in lies your problem with the diabetes. I am no doctor, & don't know much about your disease. I also hope you are being followed up with a specialist in this disease. Because of the malabsorption, I believe only a doctor that specailizes in this disease is going to able to help you. We are here for all the support you need, but unless someone else with this rare disease comes along, I don't think we will be much help in offering advice about how to handle your particular problem. This is best left in the hands of a specialist.
I also wanted to comment on the osteoporosis. I have very severe osteoporosis, & taking supplements & the biophasphates did not work for me. I am now on a drug called Forteo, which is made from the DNA of the thyroid & pituarty hormones. It is a 26 month program of daily injections you give to yourself. It has greatly increased my bone density. This might be something you could mention to your doctor. You wouldn't have the absorption problem with it I don't believe as you do with food & supplements. My osteoporosis was caused by genetics & having a hysterectomy at the age of 22. No hormones & the genetic factor caused me to have this at a very young age, & new DEXA scans have proven Forteo is working. Suggest it to your doctor. It would be well worth your while I do believe for at least this problem. Hope this bit of info helps you... Mary
Thanks so much for answering, but I guess I wasn't very clear about the "whipple". I had a psuedocyst on my pancreas that was inoperable because of my aorta. What they did was cut out some of my pancreas and some of my intestine and "re-route" things (?). They also took out my spleen while they were in there. Oh... I also no longer have a gall bladder either. But, THANK GOD, I do NOT have Whipples Disease. Sorry, about the confusion. I will definately ask my doc about the osteo treatment. So, thanks again for the info and take care!

I would avoid from purchasing this product. I purchased the pearl one and was not impressed. It is TINY and THIN. I bought a bracelet similar to this 2 months ago at the flea market for 15$, and double the size. The bracelet's quality is more of a 10$, I would not suggest spending 19$ on it. The product did come in early and in a nice jewelry bag though.

Marin, you have a sharper ear for music than I do. Or should I say you have more of a technical ear for it, because not only are you a musician (and a good one too), you're also a producer. As such, you'll pick up on stuff that I won't. All I heard was the emotion, the language. I loved it. It's beautiful.Marin wrote (3 years ago)
Thanks. The only thing I regret for regarding this track is that I didn't spend too much time/money on good production and you can feel how the sound quality lacks a bit, but I still think it's a nice musical idea.Katherine wrote (3 years ago)

It is the season of giving. In the next three articles, I'm going to talk about ideas for giving in every sense of the word - giving to our friends and families; giving the gift of knowledge (a gift we should all give more often to those we care about); and giving to charity. This week features the joys and dangers of present giving.
The old cliche seems even truer this year: Christmas comes earlier every year. The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas represent the busiest shopping season of the year, with retailers of every kind working overtime to convince us that the secret of holiday happiness is in buying and giving more. We all know, philosophically, the speciousness of that argument, but it's hard not to get caught up in the holiday frenzy.
Now I don't want to come off like Ebenezer Scrooge. Holiday shopping is fun, but don't let the spirit of the season wreak havoc with your finances. There's nothing worse than the post-holiday remorse you may feel when a flurry of credit card bills arrives in January. Here are some simple steps you can take to help approach the holiday shopping season prudently:
- Make a budget: Start by determining a budget for holiday shopping, a budget that's reasonable for you. Be honest with yourself about how much you can afford to spend, and don't feel pressured to give beyond your means. You don't want to break the bank just because it's the holiday season.
- Be cautious with credit cards: Credit cards are convenient and useful, but it doesn't help you curb the impulse to spend. Consider paying for your presents with cash. An eye-opening study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology confirmed that people are willing to spend considerable more money on a particular item when they pay with credit instead of cash. In a similar vein, be wary of store promos that will entice you to open yet another credit account with a one-time discount. Often these accounts carry a hefty interest rate, and you could find yourself left with a very expensive debt load.
- Think about shopping online. Some people are more prudent shoppers when they shop online. If window-shopping and crowded malls trigger your buying impulse, consider doing more shopping on the Internet.
- Make a list: Pair your gift list with your budget, and you'll have a good tool for making decisions. If your list is long and your budget is small, be creative. Baked goods are always welcome in the Schwab-Pomerantz household.

March 19, 2011.
There are many things that can cause this. Most pads have some type of anti rattle clip to hold the pads still. If the rubber bushings in the slide get worn out it will rattle. Loose bolts will do the same. It needs to be examined closely.

Letter Writing Tips & Ideas
- You can write repeated letters to each address.
- If you have multiple children, they can each write letters. My kids mail their letters on the same day.
- We wait for our postcard to arrive and then send the next letter the following day.
- How to write a letter is a great skill to teach your children. By writing their favorite characters, you are teaching them how to write a letter and how the postal service works.

Finishing a Friendly Argument: The Jury and the Historical Origins of Diversity JurisdictionRobert L. JonesNorthern Illinois University - College of Law November 3, 2008 New York University Law Review, Vol. 82, No. 4, 2007 Abstract: This Article argues that diversity jurisdiction was intended to funnel politically significant litigation into the federal courts principally because federal officials would have the power to dictate the composition of federal juries. All existing accounts for the origins of diversity jurisdiction ultimately rely upon putative differences between the state and federal benches for their explanations of the jurisdiction's origin. This emphasis on the bench is anachronistic, however, because the jury possessed far more power than the bench to decide cases in eighteenth-century American courts. American juries during this period customarily had the right to decide issues of law as well as fact and were largely beyond the control of the bench. The Framers saw state court juries - independent bodies of citizens with almost unfettered power to resolve legal disputes -as one of the greatest dangers in allo wing ordinary citizens too much control over the governance of the nation. By wresting adjudicative power out of the hands of state court juries and bestowing it upon federal juries whose compositions could be tightly controlled by federal officials, diversity jurisdiction accomplished the Constitution's overarching purpose of checking the operation of "unrestrained" democracy in the states. Once the federal courts were established, federal officials controlled the composition of federal juries in several ways. In most districts, federal marshals dictated the composition of federal juries by hand-selecting jurors of their choice. In addition, Congress ensured that the political, economic, and social characteristics of federal juries would differ dramatically from their state counterparts by providing that the federal courts would draw their juries overwhelmingly from the urban, commercial centers of the nation. The state courts, by contrast, drew their juries predominantly from the agrarian populations living outside those centers. It is highly unlikely that this pervasive control over the composition of federal juries was an unintended consequence of the Constitution. Instead, as this Article argues, the evidence strongly suggests that the federal officials' control over the composition of federal juries constituted the single most important impetus behind the creation of diversity jurisdiction and a significant rationale for the establishment of the lower federal courts.
