Most people choose to forget their time in war. Robert Eilers collected his.
Looking back now at 90, Eilers can vividly recall both the good and the bad — all in his own handwriting.
"Had sub alert Jan. 29, Also Jan. 30, Depth charges dropped," a diary entry from his time on the U.S.S. Ethan Allen from Jan. 13 to
"I kept my journals for the future," said Eilers, whose array of medals, memorabilia and journals will be passed from generation to generation. "In order to remember hard memories."
Eilers disembarked from the Ethan Allen on
His training did not limit him to working on the ground, he said.
"I trained basically as a mechanic — someone who worked on aircraft instruments," Eilers said. "I flew from time to time but not a lot. I remember standing up in the back of the aircraft with no seat belt, looking out the window. It was pretty fun."
Eilers thought he knew what to expect — after all his father was a World War I veteran who told him some stories — but it was more than what he thought. And the last thing his parents wanted for him.
"It was wartime," Eilers said. "My mom was a very typical mom: She didn't want me to go but that's what a mom does ... I got to basic training October of 1942. They didn't have a lot of bases set up yet. They just pushed us through, one, two, three and we were out the door."
Crossing the
"We had submarine attacks and air attacks," Eilers said. "If it's a submarine attack, you go on the deck. If it's an air attack you go beneath. And we had to do those drills quite often. (The Nazis) were always dropping depth charges in front of us."
The war crawled by for Eilers, and left him yearning to go home. Discharged on
"There should be no more wars," he said.

Chris Ashton scored a late try to give England a 16-12 win against Scotland in Auckland.
With three minutes remaining, England put a kickable penalty into touch and won the lineout. Their forwards set up the driving maul, before the ball was sent wide to replacement flyhalf Toby Flood, whose perfectly-timed double-skip pass put Ashton over in the right-hand corner.
It was a heart-breaking moment for the Scots, who had needed to win this game by eight points or more and deny England a bonus point in order to leapfrog their arch-rivals on the Pool C log. They now need Georgia to upset Argentina on Sunday, which is unlikely.
There may have only been one try, but this was a gripping encounter.
Scotland suffered an early setback when flyhalf Ruaridh Jackson limped off with a hamstring injury, but it proved to be a blessing. The kicking game of his replacement, Dan Parks, was ideal for the wet and windy conditions and he controlled the game well.
It was Parks who kicked a long-range penalty into the wind to give Scotland a 6-0 lead, following an earlier strike from Chris Paterson.
Jonny Wilkinson came into this match with a 50% goal-kicking success rate in the tournament and missed his first three penalty attempts. He finally found the target with his fourth, but a Parks drop goal gave Scotland a 9-3 lead at the break.
The Scots dominated the set pieces in the first half, winning four scrums against the feed (with Euan Murray embarrassing Matt Stevens) and stealing three opposition lineout throws. They also didn't miss a single tackle in 40 minutes, while England slipped six.
When the second half kicked off, the wind had dropped and the rain had stopped. England played with a lot more urgency and their pack regained some confidence when they won a tighthead with a solid hit.
The Scots, though, briefly regained the ascendancy and almost scored when left wing Simon Danielli kicked into the England 22. Fullback Ben Foden knocked the ball back and Scotland replacement Nick de Luca failed to collect it with the tryline in sight.
Scotland then won yet another scrum penalty, which Paterson kicked to make it 12-3, but they crucially failed to deal with the restart and Wilkinson slotted a drop goal with his right foot (having missed one with his left from in front earlier in the half).
The England flyhalf added a penalty at the start of the final quarter to reduce the deficit to three, but his following attempt fell short.
It didn't matter, though, as Ashton's try snatched the win and set up an England-France quarter-final.

February 20, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. The Pfeiffer University swim teams wrapped up the 2011 Bluegrass Mountain Conference meet on Saturday with eighth place finishes at the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center (MCAC) in Charlotte.

The Lady Falcons finished with 144 championship points as Johns Hopkins University claimed the top spot in the 13-team field. Pfeiffer finished third out of the Conference Carolinas institutions. On the mens side, Pfeiffer concluded eighth with 150 points as Wingate took home the top spot. Like the women, the Falcons wrapped up third among fellow conference schools.
Combined, both teams combined to represent Pfeiffer in 15 different finals swims in the four-day event. More information would soon be available on records broken and possible trips clinched to the NCAA II National Championship coming up in March in San Antonio, Texas.

OXFORD, Ohio -- Tuesday's scheduled baseball game between Miami and Xavier at McKie Field has been postponed because of snow, Head Coach Dan Simonds announced today. The schools are working at finding an acceptable make-up date, but nothing has been determined.
This marks the second meeting between the local schools that has been altered because of weather. A March 5 contest at Xavier -- Miami's first scheduled game in the area -- was pushed back due to rain and cold temperatures.
The Musketeers and RedHawks are not slated to face each other again this season, but could meet in the Fifth Annual Joe Nuxhall Classic, hosted by Cincinnati. If both teams either win or lose the opener, they would play on the second day, April 10, at Marge Schott Stadium.
Miami's next action is now set for Friday at Toledo. The Rockets and RedHawks meet at 3 p.m. in the opener, then play Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. Miami is 10-10 overall and 3-0 in the MAC after sweeping Eastern Michigan at home this past weekend.

I think the players with the steroid issues, fine, leave them out....but players associated due to the era? cmon...
Bagwell and Biggio were leaders at their positions for a long time. I cant believe Tim Raines isn't in yet....And Morris should be a shoe-in also....
Oderint Dum Metuant
I was shocked that Kirby Puckett got in on the first ballot.
To get back to the steroid thing. There are sports writers who will never vote for anyone who has even a chance of having taken steroids. No one knows if Bagwell or Biggio were juicing. Why would you think they didn't? At least that's their position.
As far as Bagwell and Biggio..they were nice players but not quite HOF status as far as I'm concerned. Morris isn't either IMO, but he does get something for great post season play. But to me just falls short.
All of Perrys numbers over three years scream for a new DC, besides picks. And the int argument, They only have those picks because they get thrown on so much, see Ross last year, and TT the previous year.
Neither did we.

Leukoplakia is a disorder of the mouth's mucus membranes. White patches form on the tongue or inside of the mouth over weeks or months. This can also occur on the vulva in females, but for unknown reasons. One type, known as hairy leukoplakia, is a type found primarily in people who have HIV or other types of severe immune deficiency.
Hairy leukoplakia results from infection with the Epstein-Barr virus.
Leukoplakia usually results from irritants, such as:
- Pipe or cigarette smoking
- Chewing tobacco or snuff
- Rough teeth
- Rough places on dentures, fillings, or crowns
Risk Factors
Leukoplakia is more common in men after age 65. Other factors that may increase your chance of developing leukoplakia include:
- Tobacco use, especially smokeless tobacco
- Long-time alcohol use
- Having a weakened immune system such as from HIV
In women, the condition often develops into cancer.
Leukoplakia may cause:
Lesions on the tongue or gums, inside of the cheeks, or on the vulva
that is:
- White, gray, or red in color
- Thick, slightly raised, or hardened on the surface
- Sensitivity to touch, heat, or spicy foods
- Pain or other signs of infection
- Hairy leukoplakia is painless, with a fuzzy, white appearance
In some cases, leukoplakia looks like oral thrush, which is an infection also associated with HIV infection and lowered immune function.
In most cases, a dentist can diagnose leukoplakia with a mouth exam. To confirm a diagnosis or to check for cancer, an oral brush biopsy may be needed. This involves removing some cells with a small brush. It takes only minutes and is painless. A pathologist then checks these cells for signs of cancer. Sometimes the dentist or oral surgeon uses a scalpel to remove cells after numbing the area.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
- Removing the irritant—Quitting smoking or correcting dental problems often takes care of the problem.
- Removing patches—If the problem persists, or if signs of cancer are present, your dentist or doctor may need to remove patches of leukoplakia.
- Taking medication—For hairy leukoplakia, the doctor may prescribe antiviral medications, or a solution to apply to the skin.
To help reduce your chance of getting leukoplakia:
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about how you can successfully quit.
- Avoid or limit your use of alcohol.
- See a dentist regularly, especially if you have rough places in your mouth.

KINGS BEACH, Calif. — The odds are very high the Highway 28 three-lane project will go ahead as planned and on schedule despite Wednesday's mandated demolition of statewide redevelopment agencies, Placer County Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery said.
When Gov. Jerry Brown's decision to rid the state of more than 400 redevelopment agencies was affirmed in December by the California Supreme Court, municipal and regional governments were left in the cold wondering what would happen to funding for RDA projects in progress.
Over the last few weeks, as officials hashed through the details of what exactly becomes of RDA bonds, projects and assets, some issues have begun to clarify.
One of the first issues deals with bonds. Placer County attorneys have reached the opinion that enforceable contracts between an RDA and a third party are, and will continue to be, valid, Montgomery said in a Friday interview.
With this interpretation, any redevelopment enterprise receiving all or a portion of its funding from bond measures — enforceable contracts with those who purchased the bonds — should continue to receive funding. The three-lane project is one such undertaking.
"The language is very clear," Montgomery said. "We're 99 percent sure."
The 1 percent of doubt derives from uncertainties that have plagued the RDA abolition process since its inception last month, she said.
Directions from the governor's office on how to proceed with dismantling the RDAs have been erratic and unclear, local officials have said recently.
Mistakes might be costly, they said, as the state controller might have the authority to claw back funds — even money already spent — from defunct RDAs.
Also, dissolved RDAs may be required to liquidate assets. Officials are still going through the process of identifying which holdings can be kept and which must be sold, Montgomery said, but the RDA-owned parking lots in Kings Beach may have to be put on the market.
"If we have to sell things off," she said, "I'm going to get top dollar."
Redevelopment funds account for $11 million of the $44 million Kings Beach project. The remaining $33 million comes from sources unrelated to the redevelopment fund, such as federal and state programs and grants.
Joy Doyle, executive director of the Kings Beach-based North Tahoe Business Association, said she is relieved the project appears to be proceeding.
"The fact of the matter is there are a lot of moving parts to this," said Doyle. "I'm an optimist. I'm not one to think the sky is falling."
The project is currently in the design phase, which could wrap by the middle of the year, said Peter Kraatz of Placer County Public Works. Depending on the timing of the funding, construction should begin as planned in 2013, if not earlier, he said.

In the late 1950s, Rothko received a commission to create painting for a new restaurant, The Four Seasons. He also hired a new assistant, a young artist named Ken.
As the two men got to know each other through conversation about art, they discussed life and death and all manner of subjects in between.
"The dynamic between master and apprentice morphs and shifts as lessons are learned, a relationship is forged and questions are asked, ignored or answered," according to Ratio's description of the story. "Set slightly more than 10 years before Rothko's eventual suicide, 'Red' examines not only the nature of art and its influence on the world, but perhaps more profoundly, the life of a man plagued by doubt, but also gifted by genius."
The show is directed by theater veteran Michael McGinn. Michelle Wood is the production and stage manager, with lighting and set design by Infinito.
Infinito has worked professionally throughout the Northeast and North Carolina as an actor, dancer, stage manager, production assistant, lighting designer and rigger. His training includes The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and The Boston Conservatory of Music, as well as years of private instruction.
Local credits include El Gallo in "The Fantastics," Homer Bolton in "Morning's At Seven," Danny in "Grease," and The Kralahome in "The King And I" at the New Bern Civic Theatre.
He also played Orin Scravillo DDS in The Serendipity Players' "Little Shop Of Horrors." He is managing partner of Ratio Theatre Company. Earlier, he was the managing/artistic director of the New Bern Civic Theatre from 2007 to 2009 and artistic director from 2006 to 2007. He has appeared in Ratio's"ART," "True West," "Talk About The Passion" and"God of Carnage." Directorial credits include "Rumors," "South Pacific," "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest," "Agnes Of God," "Absurd Person Singular," "The Dining Room," "The Sunset Limited," "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris," "DOUBT A Parable" and "Songs For A New World."
Bryant is making his Ratio Theatre Company debut. He graduated from East Carolina University, where he earned a BFA in Theatre Arts. There, he studied the Sandford Meisner Technique, Musical Theatre Techniques and various Dance Techniques — jazz, ballet, and tap — while taking private voice lessons from Mollye Otis.
He lives in New York City and is pursuing his career in acting. Alex is currently in Manteo, where he is playing the role of Manteo in the Tony Award winning show "The Lost Colony."
Director McGinnis a Ratio veteran who was featured in Ratio's premier production of "Art" and he co-starred in "Oleanna Side by Side" by Sondheim and "DOUBT A Parable."
He has also performed with Eastern Carolina Artists for Change in "8 The Play," Carteret Community Theatre's "Sound of Music," New Bern Civic Theatre's "The Fantastiks," "Carousel," "Baker's Wife," "Talley's Folly" and "1776."
He is a classically trained baritone who was raised on Broadway show tunes. Holding advanced degrees in Latin and Medieval Literature, he currently teaches Latin at West Carteret High School.

The product is good. The issue is that it is not large enough to carry basics for MTB. The description seems larger than actual. MTB tube, co2, levers is packed tight. It does have a separate spot for multi tool which is great. If you have shirt pockets you can put your power bar in there.

Muslims are black, white, Asian, and everything else—most Muslims are not Arab. Recent terrorists have been European, Asian, African, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern; male and female; young and old.
He is supposed to be a security expert? Ofcourse there are all kinds of terrorists, but we are talking post-9/11 airport security, wich is all about preventing suicide bombers on planes. Save for some Tamil Tiger in the jungle of Sri Lanka, all suicide bombers are muslim. And sure there are Chechnyan and Indonesion terrorists, but the biggest threat to AMERICAN interests are ARAB terror organizations.
Yes groups like Al Qaeda will try to recruit blacks or whites to fly on american airlines, but they will have a much bigger difficulty finding willing suicide bombers than in the arab world, where "shaheeds" are blowing themselves up every single day. Thus, the least we accomplish by profiling is making it more difficult to perform a terror attack. Nobody is suggesting we ONLY look at young arab males, just that we give them more attention as a group than other groups.
Underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab was Nigerian. Shoe bomber Richard Reid was British with a Jamaican father.
A Nigerian with an Arab name is a perfect candidate for profiling, Richard Reid aka Abdel Rahim was a follower of radical cleric Al-Hamza and radical activist, so he should have been on a watchlist anyway.
The 2006 transatlantic aircraft plotters were Ibrahim Savant, Arafat Khan and Waheed Zaman (and a lot of other arabs arrested in connection with the plot).
Both Timothy McVeigh and the Unabomber were white Americans
Bruce tries to lump in a lot of irrelevancies to divert attention from the real issue. These weren't suicide bombers, and they weren't on planes.
Or perhaps Bruce is just playing dumb, just like the authorities in Britain:
Border staff stop and search white air passengers to 'even up racial mix'
Report finds white passengers are searched to balance out other ethnicities
By JACK DOYLE
White air passengers are routinely stopped and searched by customs officials simply to ensure the right racial 'mix' of travellers are being approached, a report reveals today.
It found staff searching for illegal goods at Gatwick Airport selected white passengers to balance the numbers against black and other ethnic minorities they suspected to help avoid race discrimination complaints.

Science regularly engages in such deabtes productively, and thus adds to humanity's collective knowledge
Again, I hate to state the obvious, but this is a debate of primarily theology and secondly history…not science.
But you do such a disservice to your omnipotent god! Instead of writhing about on the hook of electronic miracles, your god couldn't even leave any traces of these astounding miracles that could be confirmed later. Not one. How wonderful it would be to have some of Jesus' hair. A simple DNA test would show the DNA of a human mother and… something we wouldn't be able to figure out at all.
Imagine on the inside of every human skull, the word "Yahweh". This would be proof positive of the manufacturer's brand.
Imagine someone without legs suddenly having them grow back simply by standing at the place of crucifixion. Jesus was quite adept at healing so it is claimed. Imagine if it happened once again.
These are not even difficult things to pull off. Even starfish and lizards can regenerate limbs. So the "divine technology" does exist. Why doesn't god bother to implement it? Is it because it's convenient to theistic worldviews that as long as he doesn't, they can make up anything the want and say it is "his will"? Hey, an absent god is tremendously pliable, isn't he? You can say anything you want, blame those who question you for not believing, and he remains steadfastly out of the mix.
So there you are, at the pearly gates, standing in judgment. You say: "God, why didn't you leave a postcard, a hair sample, a picture, a painting, something…anything we scientists can work with!?"
God says: "Hmm…have you read my Bible? What about my servants Paul, John, Peter, Luke, Augustine, Calvin, Luther, Bunyan, Edwards, Whitefield, Spurgeon, Lewis, Packer, etc.? What about the ocean, animals, stars, planets, mountains, rivers, people? Where do you suppose that all came from? What about your conscience? What about your soul?"
This is the same failed argument. The reason no one bothers to state that Plato or Alexander didn't exist is because there is no impact to one's future state of being regardless of what the answer is. If Plato didn't exist, I don't care. So what if he didn't exist? How does that impact my so called "immortal soul"? Here's a hint: IT DOESN'T.
So what you're saying is, IF God existed, then surely he would provide better sources and better evidence than He does… How do you know that? That's your assumption. God is not required to provide the evidence that a 21st century positivist says he must have.
And as time goes on, the are less and less sure about it. 500 years ago, no one would dispute the existenc eof Jesus. Today, plenty of scholars do just that. This is a great plan your god has. His plan of salvation becomes less and less solid as time goes on. You'd think even a 4th rate god would be able to make it go the other way.
Hogwash…the Bible itself assumes that people (even in the Old Testament) say that God does not exist and never existed…the fool says in his heart there is no God
There are very few scholars that I know of who claim Jesus never existed. Religious and non-religious scholars disagree on the details of his life but that is far different. And, it seems, many of Jesus' opponents seem to come from an interesting background in religion as well…bias can not be ruled out as a factor in their studies.
You just said there was no evidence one way or the other. Now, in the functional world, where we have to objectively analyze what works and what doesn't, a lack of evidence means at best we must suspend judgment.
Interestingly, you start off by admitting there is no evidence, and you end up in a mere 2 sentences saying the evidence is there that doesn't convince you your belief is unsupported.
I said there's no EMPIRICAL evidence. There is plenty of evidence…just no evidence that is deemed acceptable by many modern empiricists.

Hello, Everyone!
Hello, Everyone!
Gone Raw has had the very good fortune to have people saying very nice things about us, and so we've had lots of new members joining lately. Let me be the first to say that we're really happy to have you here, and we'd really love to get to know you.
So if you have a minute, do say hello and introduce yourself in this here Introductions section of the forum. Why are you eating raw food? How long have you been? How do you feel differently now?
Thanks, and hi!
Great idea to have people intrroduce themselves Ray!
I'm James, I live in rural Ontario, Canada. I've been vegan for 2 years known about the raw food movement since I read Nature's First Law about that long ago. When school started this year, I decided to go raw until dinner. I really niticed a difference! At the end of January i went 100% raw and its been great so far. It's hard to make all of my own meals now (my mom used to cook me food) but even she is coming around. Last night she made the fmaily raw pesto and zuc noodles!
Anyways, I am really excited about raw food! I hope this website will let me meet some cool raw folks and learn some sweet recepies!
Peace to you all.
Hi James, nice to meet you. It's nice to see how much interest in raw foods there is in Canada – a good 10% of the visitors to our site are from there!
hello! I'm Shayna and I live in Toronto Ontario. I am new to RAW, and try to do at least 60% RAW per week. I hope to reach 80% soon (just trying to eat all the food out of my freezer). I've been on this site regularly for the last month or so getting new recipes and am LOVING the variety I am finding here!
You guys are sooo thoughtful. There's nothing like support:-) I've been 80% RAW now for 10 month's or so. My nutritionist highly recommended it as a 3 month detox intensive while I was on travel in LA. I love it so much it's now part of my food life. When I arrived home in MD I was on my own. Thank GOD for the web. Recipes… are a touch away. You're really making it effortless.
hi everyone-i tried to post and it did not take. so maybe i go here first.thank u for having me. i turned raw a couple of months ago.after alot of health issues.i am way better and ahve lost 67 pounds since oct.18-06.i am excited to be in contact with other raw foodist.thanks taylor
Hi !! I'm Lucyane,Lucy,and I was a vegetarian for 7 years,and now I'm 100% raw for about a month and a half. I'm loving it,and this site is helping me a lot.
Thank you very much,and thanks a lot for having me.And I am from Brazil,but I live in White Plains,Ny with my husbund.
Hello, and welcome, Shayna, Taylor, Lucy, and everyone else!
Hi, my name is Sunny. I am 30 years old and I live in Flagstaff, AZ. I would love to hear from others that are in the area! I have been about 80%-90% raw for about 9 months now. I have noticed that I feel a lot better (can use the eliptical now for an hour without fatigue!) and I also have a better outlook on life.
I am from NY. Origanally MA. I haven't gone strictly raw or strictly anything yet. I have experimented with raw, with my family. We enjoyed making new creations and felt really good and energetic for the several months we enjoyed raw. Then we had family visit and it disappeared very quickly so they could enjoy the local cuisine properly prepared. We love cooking and making new foods for our family to try. I am a holistic wellness practitioner and have kept my families diet fairly well balanced, especially by snacking on lots of fruits and vegatables. I am searching for more creative ways to introduce raw snacks, into the actual entree of our meals. I doubt we will ever go completely raw, but adding more variety to our reportiore of recipes to help us maintain a healthy tasty and fun lifestyle is a real motivator.
I hope that here I will find some ideas for first timers to add in to our diet and to learn more about the nutritional aspects of eating raw, so I know I have given my family a well rounded perspective about food.
Well, I guess that's it for now. Thanks.
Hi, I'm from Los Angeles (Southbay – Redondo/Torrance area). Have been 70% raw during the weekdays and 99% during the weekend for awhile now. I'm not sure if I'll be 100% since I don't think I'm in that zone and generally I like to do what feels good for me. My reasons in eating raw just felt natural and seemed to make sense – I'm surprised because I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon of every new trend. Anyway nice to meet everyone and I hope to have more friends especially those who like to eat this way…It sucks answering a bunch of questions as to why I eat raw sometimes when all I want to do is have an easy conversation and enjoy a good meal lol. Cheers! :)
Hello and thanks to Ray and the others for starting this website.
Except for a short period, I have been vegan for about sixteen years. Near the beginning of that time, my wife and I went 100% raw for about six months. We were following Fit for Life/Natural Hygiene, with food combing, etc. We lost too much weight, and I started having problems on the job, so we went back to a vegan diet.
In hindsight, I think we must have been following a diet designed for someone with a serious weight problem.
A few weeks ago, someone gave me some information about Brendan Brazier:
http://www.brendanbrazier.com/ a vegan triathelete who eats mostly raw. So, after a two week transition, I am eating almost 100% raw now for the past couple of days. But this time, with all the info available on the web, I am hoping to be more successful.
So far, I have been supplementing the raw fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds with hemp protein powder, chlorella, and maca powder.
Any comments or suggestions people may have will be much appreciated. I will be sharing some recipes soon.
Hello, I am from houston and I was raised a pescetarian and decided to go raw about a month and a half ago after doing the master cleanse. I think it was a great decision and I am happy I found this website!.
Welcome everyone!
Hello, I live in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and attend UWO where i'm working on my BFA. I've been vegan for a little less than 9 months, and before that I was vegetarian for just under 6 years. I've been trying for a while to get into better shape, so i've begun researching raw foods. I'm not sure if i'll be completely raw [at least not right now], because i feel good when i eat cooked quinoa [can you eat it raw?] and if i have some ezekiel bread once in a while.. but hey, i'm always up for replacing those things if it's just as easy to eat raw versions. I really am interested in raw foods because [like many women i'm sure] i've had my bouts with insecurity about my body etc, and I would love to be able to eat whatever i wanted and not really worry.
I love this site and everytime i visit it i'm glad i stumbled upon it. (:
Mango Woman,
Thank you for your candor! I am not completely raw either. I've been doing nothing but raw before 5 for about 6 months. Then switched over to two dinners a week being raw about 3 months ago, now I'm doing two dinners a week cooked. I too was lured in by the promise of being able to eat whatever I wanted and not counting calories. The fact of the matter is, calories still do count and as I've been reading on this site, excessive fat from nuts is not healthy either. So, more fresh fruit and veg and very little nuts. Even fresh juice is calorie dense and you don't get the fiber to fill you up. So, I do raw not for some weight loss miracle, but for the nutrient dense food and the enzymes. That's my path … I applaud you for breaking free from SAD and trying to find a healthier YOU:)
Oh, about quinoa. I personally didn't like raw quinoa, I soaked and sprouted it and it was crunchy like bird seed. It wasn't what I expected because the cooked quinoa is so soft.
Hello! I live in Tacoma, Washington and have been transitioning to raw for about a year. Intuitively, raw food seems like the right thing for me. I especially love green juice and green smoothies. If anyone else lives near me, I am interested in a monthly potluck at my house on the last Friday of each month at around 7:00pm. e-mail me at email@example.com
Blessings to all.
Hi RawAlla!! I have been trying to add more greens to my diet so if you have any good recipes please add.
Joesc, Basically I just juice lots of greens (like 2 pounds) with apples and carrots to add sweet. For example I love spinach, carrot, ginger, dandilion juice. I also just love to put friut and veggies in the VitaMix and zip it up. I found inspiration from Victoria Boutenko's book "Green For Life" not very expensive but a life changing book for me.
Norman Walker's book "Fresh vegetable and fruit juices" is one of the best book in juices for me.My favorite is cellery,cucumber,apples and I always add a lemon.
Also carrot,spinach and grapes.I always mix them up as I see them in the refrigerator.In every one I add a lemon for vitamin c.
I ordered that book by Victoria Boutenko and I am waiting for it to arrive. I have been doing the green smoothie every day now. It helps fill me up. I haven't tried dandelions though. I add lemon or ginger to a lot of my smoothies. I eat a lot of tomatoes when I need more vit C. I love tomatoes!!!! I have heard of people developing allergies to tomatoes, I hope that doesn't happen to me.
Hi everyone. I live in Ithaca, NY when I am at school (Ithaca College) and in McLean, VA (about 5 mins outside DC) when I'm home. I've been close to 100% raw since Feb 1st. I am loving it so far – feeling good though I have definitely had some detox effects. One of the main things I have noticed since I started the diet is that my complexion is much better. Acne had always been such an annoyance and now I haven't had a break out in weeks. I have found that the biggest cost of this diet is social – people are always so confused – my friends scoff at me sometimes. They think I am going to give up on this sooner or later. Anyway, I am glad to meet other people who are raw or are getting there. Thanks for creating/running such a great site. The internet CAN BE a wonderful tool.
Hey everyone! I have been raw for almost ten months, and I was vegan for about two months before that. Yeah, less than a year ago I was a total carnivor. It is pretty interesting, I have always wanted to be vegan, but never did it, because I felt that meat was good for me. But I think it is interesting, how I have been naturaly inclined to this way of eating my whole life, even as a child I ate pounds of spinach. Did anyone else have that experience? Of really feeling naturaly inclined to this diet, before you even found out it was a diet? I actually drempt of going raw for a YEAR before I went raw. I wonder what would happen to people if they just followed their natural inclinations.
I used to eat earth as a child, it drove my parents mad!

Great magnet!
The Save the Date magnets that I ordered were exactly what I wanted!
wonderfully done save the date card
My save the dates turned out better and much more beautiful then I could have imaged :-)
Just what I wanted!
I really loved this save the date. When I got it in the mail it was exactly what I was hoping for! The only thing I did wrong was pick a picture that wasn't close up. The size of the pics are small and if you pick a pic that is far away you can't see it very well. I would highly recommend this product. I also bought the invitations and labels from this company and really liked them as well.
Exactly how i thought they would be! Very happy. Good quality.
We love it!
I would highly recommend using magnet street to order all your wedding needs! Our save the dates look amazing and were very reasonably priced. Everything came in super fast and I loved the gift book they came in with samples of invitations.

The sun, the moon, the stars, fire as well as a TV, a computer screen, illuminated ads and neon lights - the majority of commercial visuality and created images - are based on looking at material as light or looking at the light source and on the attraction of light. Looking at light gives us an impression of looking at something outside from inside. Even if we were watching TV located on the back of a room, we would have a feeling of looking at something which is outside - the outside world. A light is like a way out, outside. The light, external, attracts us, and subjects such as the internalization of light, the transformation into light or the enlightenment can be found in many religions. Technology required for the 'non-material consumption' actually needs massive production based on raw materials. What are the grounds for the desire to become estranged from the primary existence of substances, and for the fascination of the artificial reality of the illusionary world filtered by technology?
I have made this work of an illuminated billboard, on the light surface of which I have glued my own body hair and made a human figure out of them. These 'animal-like' hairs are a symbol of a human body, a fleshless drawing pierced by a blinding light; a relic of the lost body merged in light.

Ninja has come a long way. This sweet dog was one of 50 rescued by ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement agents last summer from a dog fighting ring in the Bronx. Ninja suffered in terrible conditions in the dingy, dark basement of an apartment building, rarely seeing the light of day. When we rescued her, she was extremely underweight and suffered from infections to her skin and paw. We got to her just in time, transporting her to a temporary facility to begin her recovery.
Now Ninja is healthy and thriving with her adoptive pet parent, Samara Lynn, in Midtown Manhattan.
"I wanted a dog for some time," Samara says. "I went to the ASPCA a few times and finally when I saw Ninja and her size and temperament, I knew she was perfect. I waited about two weeks to think about it. I finally thought, someone must have adopted her already, but when I went back, she was still available. We picked each other."
Staff at the Adoption Center warned Samara that Ninja might be a bit skittish with all the traffic and noise of New York City. But over time, she has adjusted.
"We live in Midtown Manhattan and she loves walking and jogging with either me or my boyfriend," Samara says. "She also really enjoys meeting all the new people and dogs out for walks."
She is also a fast learner. After just a month, Samara taught Ninja to walk on a leash, heel, sit, stay, give paw and other tricks.
"She is very smart, sensitive, and very aware and is the only dog I have ever had that pays acute attention when another dog is on television," Samara says.
We're thrilled that this special and talented dog has a second chance at life in such a loving home.
Todos Los animalitos merecen tener un hogar y ser queridos,tenemos que protegerlos,por favor.
Blessings to you, Samara, for giving this lovely furbaby a new "leash" on life [ooh, sorry, that was baaad!]. RESCUES RULE!
I'm always ecstatic to hear that people are choosing to adopt instead of buying. There are already so many great pets out there that die in shelters b/c someone chose to buy instead. As long as people keep buying from puppy mills, puppy stores, and breeders they will continue to breed more and even more will continue to die. Why breed more when we have so many amazing animals like Ninja just waiting for homes?! I'm so happy that Ninja got a 2nd chance. The people from the dog fighting ring should be kept in a jail cell with no sunlight and get a taste of their own medicine. Thank you ASPCA for everything that you do! As always, I will continue to donate even for just 1 life saved.
It is such a pleasant blessing to see these dogs get new loving homes. I am a fond dog lover but I am not home enough to spend the real time I would need for a pet. But I will continue to love my dog pals and so glad to read happy endings for those dogs that deserved a second chance.
thank you all for saving all of those dogs! dog fighting is a horrible thing to do to any dog!! i pray that you can save more,i'm so happy to read about ninja's new life,thank you and her new mommy for giving her a chance at a new and happy,safe,loving life! bless you all and samara for all you have done for this sweet little dog.
Thank you ASPCA and Samara for giving this beautiful dog a second chance at life. I love happy endings.
Thank you ASPCA and Samara for giving this beautiful dog a second chance at life. I love happy endings.
I am so happy that Ninja has found her forever home. I'm glad she was rescued in time and taken from a hellish life. Dog fighters are a breed of their own-scum of the earth. Hope this person was punished to the extent of the law.

How do you make a great cup of coffee at home?
Choose a brewing method that suits you. No brewing method is "the best" - it is largely a matter of personal preference. Some brewing methods are more suited to one type of coffee than another. For example, vacuum brewing tends to emphasize the delicate flavors in a cup, whereas espresso brewing makes a potent concentrate. Some methods are simpler, some more complicated. It should go without saying, but if you brew coffee that is low quality, poorly roasted, or old to start off with it will taste bad no matter what you do.
With all types of brewing, you need to use good, fresh water and clean equipment. Water must be between 195 and 205°F. The proper grind is also essential for maximum flavor extraction. You can find general brewing tips on the Brewing Fundamentals page and brewer-specific tip sheets and articles in the Library.

The Tesla Model X (yes, Tesla's awesome-looking electric SUV with wicked falcon-wing doors) is off to a good start. The only SUV I think I actually like got 500 reservations in its first 4 days of availability.Few companies go ten years without turning a profit, and manage to stay alive. Tesla Motors has though, and it seems like CEO Elon Musk's predictions that the company will turn a profit next year might actually come true. Hot on the heels of the Tesla Model S release, Musk and crew unveiled the Tesla Model X crossover.And just as I predicted, the soccer mom's flocked to the falcon-wing doors and seven-passenger seating.
