Shopping Madness in Bangkok
World's Largest Shopping Street - 4,332 shops and 1,285,000 square meters of shopping on a single mile!
Bangkok is synonymous with amazing shopping and fabulous malls. Think of yourself as a hardcore shopper? Then put on your comfy shoes, because this mile of shopping incorporates over 4,300 shops and stalls and covers around 1.2 square kilometres. That is a lot of shopping!
Checking out this mile could easily take a whole day. We recommend you start early at MBK to get there before the crowds. From there it is only a five minute walk to Siam Discovery, which is right next to the funky Siam Center. Pop across the road to Siam Square for some new fashion from unknown brands, then cross back to experience ultimate high end luxury at Siam Paragon. It's a 7 minute walk past a pretty temple complex before you arrive at the mammoth CentralWorld, so big that you can easily spend half a day here. Don't get too distracted though, as on the other side of the intersection you will find more designer brands at Erawan and Gaysorn. Amarin Plaza is great for end of line deals and seconds. Central Chitlom, Embassy Mall and Mercury Ville complete this shopping extravaganza.

Starting from West to East
This famous Bangkok shopping mall sells everything from clothes, leather bags, accessories, mobile phones, cameras, laptops and so much more.
THE STATS: 2000 shops – covers 89,000 square metres - 8 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: Great bargains on original leather goods and electronics, fantastic one stop shop for gifts and souvenirs to take home and two tasty food courts. With so much stuff on sale they always seem to have in in multiple colours and sizes.
WHAT WE DON'T: A little grubby and worn around the edges and crowded at the weekend, with an average of 100,000 visitors a day. Well-known for reproductions and fakes, so be careful!
HIGHLIGHTS: Bangkok biggest professional photo shop choice and huge smartphone section. There are enough phone covers to give the entire planet a new case for the phones, with some pretty wacky designs.
Sometimes overlooked, Siam Discovery is medium-sized mall that sells an interesting mix of luxury fashion brands, sportswear, design, beauty and gadgets.
THE STATS: 98 shops – covers 22,000 square metres – 6 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: The cool interior design and home décor shops on the 4th and 5th floors, with Japanese brand Loft and Thailand's own Doi Tung Lifestyle. It's never crowded, making browsing so much more fun and guaranteeing a seat at the coffee shops on the ground floor.
WHAT WE DON'T: Only a small selection of shops, some that can be found in other malls.
HIGHLIGHTS: Home of Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, where you can check out celebrities ranging from Brad Pitt and Michelle Obama to famous Thai stars that we sometimes don't recognise. Feeling the heat? Head to the huge ice rink.
Renovated in late 2012, this is where the cool kids come to check out the latest and greatest fashion from Thai and International labels, with a sprinkling of fast fashion, nice restaurants and cafes and a glass ceilinged food court.
THE STATS: 300 shops - covers 20,000 square metres – 4 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: Checking out the new and up and coming designers, enjoying delicious cakes at Mr Jones' Cake Shop, and the mall's quirky design that includes art displays, virtual changing rooms, wooden horses and an LED screen on the ceiling. They also have plenty of velvet couches and bar stools to lounge upon whilst you check your online world.
WHAT WE DON'T: There are a lot of shops in a small space here, it can feel cramped, and the grey walls can make it feel like a cave.
HIGHLIGHTS: The shops are the real highlight at Siam Center, with enough designers to keep even the most demanding fashion lover content.
Designer fashion and luxury goods are the order of the day at Siam Paragon Mall, whether you are looking for a Chanel handbag, Gucci loafers or perhaps even a Lamborghini. Even if you can't treat yourself to most of the goods, it's a fun visit, with Siam Ocean World in the basement, IMAX cinema and a 30 lane bowling alley.
THE STATS: 270 shops – covers 400,000 square metres – 10 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: A visit to Siam Paragon is entertaining even if you come home empty handed. Beautiful clothes accessories and a shop filled with super cars, it needs to be seen to be believed. Go to the fourth floor for some chic souvenirs such as aromatherapy oils, silks and quality handicrafts.
WHAT WE DON'T: That our credit card limit isn't large enough to leave with armfuls of goods.
HIGHLIGHTS: It seems mad that the 10,000 sqm water world of Siam Ocean World is under all these shops. A great family activity, there are plenty of sea creatures to see, as well as an underwater tunnel and a huge panoramic tank.
Just opposite Siam Center and Paragon you will find an amazing maze of boutiques than runs along several lanes and alleyways. The shops here sell vintage clothes, one off designs and the latest trends from Japan and Korea but you will also find small indie cafés and restaurants.
THE STATS: 500+ shops - covers 10,000 square metres – Mostly 1 level
WHAT WE LOVE: Before any great Thai designer makes it, they open a store here to test their goods on a small scale. This makes Siam Square the perfect place to pick up cutting edge clothes and accessories at great prices. We also love that established Thai brands such as 'It happened to be a Closet' have stuck around too.
WHAT WE DON'T: Getting lost and feeling hot. There's good no map of the place and the narrow passageways get stuffy on sunny days.
HIGHLIGHTS: Creative and casual young fashion, and some brilliant vintage shops. If you love vintage be sure to also check out Scala cinema, a beautiful relic from the 60s and the poster shop for unusual editions of your favourite movie posters.
CentralWorld is huge and offers so much more than just shopping, with a 15 screen cinema, ice-rink, edutainement centre for kids, two department stores and some great dining options. Leave yourself plenty of time to explore, it can take a while!
THE STATS: 500 shops – covers 550,000 square metres – 7 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: It's bright and spacious, there are all different kinds of shopping here: international brands, gadget shops, unique boutiques. Zen department stores boasts some of the best local designers, from established names to new kids making their mark on the scene and they also have a fabulous rooftop bar for a post shopping cocktail.
WHAT WE DON'T: It's so big that it can be tiring trying to see it all. We get lost sometimes as the layout is the same on every floor and the bathroom signs are a little confusing.
HIGHLIGHTS: The department store Isetan is a must-visit for anyone who wants to find genuine imported goods from Japan. Two floors of the mall are dedicated to restaurants and cafés, with a range of cuisines from around the globe. There are two rooftop bars here as well, Red Sky being one of our favourite's in Bangkok.
This contemporary mall is the ultimate in chic shopping: five floors of luxury products and high end fashion from both Thailand and overseas. One of the most popular stores is Cloud 9, a multi-label boutique with amazing items from the likes of Charlotte Olympia, Louboutin and Roberto Cavalli.
THE STATS: 100 shops – covers 12,600 square metres – 5 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: Getting to check out the new collections from Thailand's designers including Fly Now, Kloset, Senada Theory, Zenithorial and Disaya. The service here is also worth a mention, they really go above and beyond to make sure you enjoying your shopping.
WHAT WE DON'T: There aren't many food options here and prices are on the high side.
HIGHLIGHTS: The services of the free lifestyle consultant, a cool advisor who loves fashion even more than us, and knows Gaysorn's collection like the back of her hand and is a pro at mix and matching. Be sure to book an appointment though.
Small but almost perfect, the Erawan Bangkok is a mall with discerning taste, focusing on exclusive brands and elegant restaurants. On the top floor you will find beauty and spa centres, perfect for a little pampering.
THE STATS: 20 shops - covers 13,000 square metres – 3 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: This is our perfect stop off for a food break. The Erawan Tea Room serves delicious dishes and a Thai take on afternoon tea, Crystal Jade steams tasty dim sum and Nara is the place for classic Thai dining. Club 21 is split into 3 sections: menswear, womenswear and accessories and is a multi-label high fashion and designer store selling brands such as Mulberry, Marc Jacobs, Paul Smith and DKNY amongst others.
WHAT WE DON'T: There just isn't enough of it...
HIGHLIGHTS: This is the best way to combine shopping with a little bit of culture. Outside the mall you will find the Erawan Shrine, an important place for Thais to pay their respects. Enjoying Thai dancing to honour the gods in a cloud of incense is pretty amazing.
This muddle of high end fashion stores, tailors, end of line boutiques and craft shops is worth a browse. Amarin Plaza also has a great value food court.
THE STATS: 300 shops – covers 19,000 square metres – 5 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: It's a different brand discount heaven at Amarin Plaza every few weeks with amazing discounts on brands such as Nine West, Karen Millen, Nike and Roxy. It's also a great stop off for a massage if your feet are getting a little tired.
WHAT WE DON'T: Amarin Plaza is in need of a bit of a facelift compared to the other malls along the mile.
HIGHLIGHTS: Thai craft centre on the 3rd floor is perfect for picking up all your souvenirs in one go.
This new mini mall promises high end delights to shoppers visiting the Chit Lom area. It is due to open in mid 2013.
THE STATS: 46 shops – covers 12,000 square metres- 3 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: Its cheery red design will bring some colour to the grey blocks here.
WHAT WE DON'T: The delays with the opening. The Bangkok.com towers are nearby and we want something new to explore!
HIGHLIGHTS: A lot of new dining options!
This one stop shop houses everything from the latest fashion and beauty products to homeware and gadgets. It's just right size wise – you won't get lost trying to find things, but there is a good range of good and brands, some stand alone and other incorporated into the main department store.
THE STATS: 100 shops - covers 68,000 square metres - 7 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: If we are in a rush or feel tired, Central Chitlom is our favourite place to shop. We enjoy the variety of clothes stores ranging from Thai designers and cool labels for men and women to affordable local brands. They spend time on cool themed decor throughout the mall, including an amazing week where they decked it out with orchids and trees.
WHAT WE DON'T: Don't waste your time with the elevators here. They take ages and are usually full.
HIGHLIGHTS: The Loft at Central Chidlom has one of the best food courts by far, it's more like a restaurant that an actual food court, with different stands selling a variety of international and thai dishes that are delivered to your table.
Opened in 2014, this sleek and shiny silver mall has added another set of boutiques, a cinema and a new experience to Bangkok mile of shopping. It is the city's first ultra-luxury lifestyle mall, so expect high profile international design brands with prices to match.
THE STATS: 100 shops - covers 70,000 square metres - 8 floors
WHAT WE LOVE: Premium brand international fashion, and an exclusive VIP cinema. It's going to have an internal garden too, which sounds pretty awesome if it lives up to our magination.
WHAT WE DON'T: The mall is not completely finished yet so we will wait until it is to make up our minds.
HIGHLIGHTS: Park Hyatt, a 6 star hotel with a very unusual architecture

Former Pennsylvania Businessman Convicted of Filing False Returns
by AccountingWEB on printer friendly
Jonathon Felix, formerly of Villanova, Pennsylvania, was found guilty by a federal jury of willfully signing and filing false income tax returns, the Justice Department and the IRS announced May 22.
According to testimony and evidence presented to the jury at trial, Felix operated a corporation called United Professional Plans Inc. (UPPI), located in Philadelphia, which he co-owned with his father until he passed away in 2000.
The evidence showed that while operating UPPI, Felix removed significant funds from the company in various ways from 1999 through 2002, causing the failure of UPPI. Felix deposited these business funds into his personal accounts or used them for personal expenditures.
Felix willfully signed and filed false individual income tax returns for those years that substantially underreported his income and did not include the funds he appropriated from UPPI. Felix's criminal conduct caused a tax loss to the IRS of about $390,000.
Felix faces a maximum potential sentence of twelve years in prison and a $1 million fine.

New Girl "Chicago" Review: A Portrait of Nick Miller As a Young Man
Jess bought balloons from a nice guy in a van and it was all fun and games and huffing helium until Nick received an unfortunate phone call from home with news that his dad had passed away. Whaaaaat? (Somebody really needs to .GIF Cece's drawn-out "what" from "Table 34.") Why so serious, New Girl? And why so good at it?
"Chicago" could have been one of those gimmicky episodes with an obvious endgame in sight, an excuse to meet the rest of Nick's family while giving professional musician Zooey Deschanel a platform to indie-warble her way through some Elvis tunes. And while both of those things certainly happened, "Chicago" was much more than that.
Margo Martindale (Justified, The Americans) guest-starred as Nick's neurotic mom, Bonnie, and it's was clear from the moment we met the Miller family matriarch that she is definitely the parent Nick takes after most, what with the odd quirks, the short temper, and the habitual avoidance of uncomfortable situations. As soon as the prodigal son stepped through the front door of the Millers' perfectly normal-looking suburban house (I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that), Mom let him know he would be planning Dearly Departed Dad's Elvis-themed funeral. Nick, in turn, pawned off his eulogy responsibilities on Jess.
New Girl's sophomore season has been the season of Nick Miller and it seems like each week, we get closer and closer to a more complete picture of who Nick really is. Every character on New Girl can, at first glance, be reduced to a single stereotype. Jess is the quirky girl. Cece is the sexy girl. Schmidt is the douchebag. Winston is the responsible one. Nick is the screw-up. Yet underneath the easy labels, they're increasingly complex characters with histories and motivations probably more at home on a drama series than on a sitcom. New Girl has proven time and again that it's capable of tossing out the TV rulebook and winging it.
Last week, Jess found herself attracted to what appeared to be Nick's newfound sense of self-discipline and while a Nick who cared about his job and tried to do his own laundry was new to all of us, I got the sense that Responsible Nick wouldn't've surprised his family at all. When we met Nick's dad earlier this season, there was some resentment on Nick's part because Walt wasn't the kind of parent who parented particularly well. His schemes and scams took him away from his family and forced Nick to step up and take his place. When Nick returned home this week to attend his father's funeral and his mother immediately handed over the reins to the entire event, her action was based on an expectation and awareness of Nick that we as an audience have only seen flashes of. Bonnie clearly cared a great deal about getting Walt's funeral just right. No matter her own personal grief or issues surrounding what was probably an equally complicated relationship with Walt, I don't think a woman who was so concerned with holding the perfect funeral would have delegated such heavy responsibilities to the village idiot. She knew Nick could handle it because Nick proved while growing up that he could pick up the slack for his often AWOL and sometimes incarcerated father.
And then I'm guessing he turned 18, ran off to college, and indulged in a little Nick time that ended up becoming a decade-long bender of pawning off his responsibilities on everyone else simply because for the first time in his life, he could.
Jess was, understandably, unable to write a eulogy in Nick's place. In the face of her refusal to just crap out some nice words and the pressure to do right by a father felt some admittedly unkind sentiments toward, Nick shut down and retreated to a bar. He couldn't stand up in front of friends and family and talk about what a terrible job his father had done raising him, and he didn't want to make something up (that's what Jess was for). And that's where the serious business of Nick's relationship with his father took the spotlight and closed the book on the understated "to be continued" that ended our sole interaction with Walt Miller.
Despite only making a single appearance on the series, the death of Dennis Farina's Walt Miller was just as unexpected for us as it was for Nick. Walt blew into Nick's life after a long time away, talking about making a change in his ways, only to leave again once the truth about his visit to L.A. was revealed. The door was left wide open for more scams, more daddy issues, and probably, eventually, a happy resolution. I commended New Girl when the episode aired for being willing to leave a broken parent-child relationship broken for the time being, rather than forcing the characters into a forgiveness scene that didn't ring true just for an aww-factor.
But I really thought that eventually the Miller men would make up.
Nick eventually returned to his father's wake with an Elvis impersonator in tow. Both guys were totally skunked, and Bonnie moved to call the whole thing off. Better no ceremony than a crappy one, right? Funerals are mostly about making the living feel better, anyway, so it's kind of an exercise in masochism if they only making you feel worse.
Jess couldn't write a eulogy for Walt, but she could dress up like Aloha from Hawaii Elvis and lead mourners in a rendition of "In the Ghetto." Nick found it in himself to sober up and give a heartfelt—but honest and fair—eulogy for his dad. Jess took his hand. I "awwwed." I hope you're happy, New Girl.
And most tellingly, concerning the Miller family modus operandi, Bonnie apologized for depending on Nick so much. Nick is the sort of guy who thrives on being acknowledged for the good things he does and I think this acknowledgement was a long time coming.
What did you think of "Chicago"?
– One-liner of the night: It's gotta be Schmidt's entire fake eulogy for Winston.
– Nick's "Who booby trapped me?!" over the balloons. I snorted. It was gross.
– The airline lost Schmidt's suit and he was forced to make do with... I don't even know. '90s mafia? Night at the Roxbury? His turmoil over the useless buttons on the double-breasted jacket was amazing.
– That was all-of-a-sudden-he's-everywhere Nick Kroll (The League, Kroll Show) as Nick's younger brother.
– I was totally waiting for Schmidt and Nick's Boston cousin to knock over the casket when they were fighting.

Jess as Elvis=awesome. another solid episode from my favorite comedy. last week's angry flirting was fantastic, too. :)
Bujemi Mar 28, 2013
So far i have really liked Nick, Schmitd and Jess, they have all made me laugh so hard it was hard to breathe. And now Winne is making his way into my heart thanks to his hyper sensitive side. The side that made him take of all off his clothes when he had a panic attack, the side that enjoys a bathtub like no other, and make him cry for every little reason. When he bursted into screams of agony over Nicks dad I almost fell out of my bed. Now I am waiting for Cece, waiting for her to let go, though i have really enjoyed her more serious side lately. There has been a real quality to it!
Loving the development of the show!
PaulaGonzalez Mar 28, 2013
Oh, this show is killing me. I was laughing and crying through the whole episode, I was craughing so hard! (is that a thing?). It really amazes me how the writers can hit the emotional notes perfectly without forgetting that this is first and foremost a comedy. Nick Miller (and of course, Jake Johnson), this is your season. I'm totally into the way the writers decided to deal with Nick's dad. Usually, writers decide to end this kind of father-son relationships with some kind of hopeful resolution. But we didn't get that here. And it's actually pretty realistic. Sometimes, some people are beyond redemption. And that doesn't make them "good or bad in the greater scheme of things". They are who they are, simple as that. Nick's eulogy was true and heartfelt, and real. And just when I couldn't hold my tears any longer, Elvis!Jess reminded me that this show is comedy with her "You okay, mama?".
I'm so in love with this show and with each of its characters.

Schmidt that´s all I´m saying :)
hbf716 Mar 27, 2013
I knew it would be a fun episode the minute they started huffing the helium. Any show that mixes helium and a funeral will make me laugh out loud for sure. I could totally relate to Nick this episode. I was also a first born given all the responsibility for the family and when I had my chance to go to college I made sure I went as far away as I could and left maturity behind. So, now I totally understand why Nick is the way he is. I also think that once Nick has something to care about - responsible Nick will resurface. Loved all the moments between Nick and Jess. When he saw her doing her Elvis impression I totally imagined him whispering how much he loved her. I also loved watching Jess trying to open her chips with her gloves on - I do that all the time. As usual - I want to write down every word that Schmidt says. He is so hilarious. I had to pause the show every time he said, "buttons". Don't think Nick's dad is dead either - there is still a lot of comic gold available with his character.
ChanX95 Mar 27, 2013
Though I don't really understand the obsession with Elvis (sorry America) I did think this was an awesome episode. Schmidt dunking his head in and out of the coffin was my favourite part.

new girl hadn't been really interesting for a few episodes but this one was touching and funny! kudos!

Candidates face off in redrawn districtsBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | June 15,2012Former legislative colleagues will face off in a redrawn House district.
Dennis Devereux and Eldred French are competing for the sole seat in the newly formed Rutland-Windsor District 2, which is made up of Ludlow, Mount Holly and Shrewsbury.
French, a Democrat, represented the former Rutland District 3, made up of Wallingford, Tinmouth and Shrewsbury. Devereux, a Republican, represented the former Rutland-Windsor District 1, made up of Mount Holly, Ludlow and Plymouth. Reapportionment put the two on a collision course.
Meanwhile, Rutland Town's ballot is blank. Republican Rep. James McNeil said he is not running again and the town clerk's office reported Thursday afternoon that nobody had filed a petition to take his place.
"I'm very busy here at the store," McNeil said from his city clothing shop Thursday. "My family comes first. I'd like to be able to head down and visit my grandson and daughter in the winter months."
McNeil, who has held the position for five years, said he often works seven days a week. He said he made his decision shortly after the session concluded.
"It was, not sleepless nights, but I gave it some decent thought," he said. It's just not working. I think if I were semi-retired or retired, it would be different."
Rutland District 3's ballot looked momentarily like it could wind up short a candidate when Rep. Robert Helm, R-Castleton, turned in an incorrectly labeled petition. Helm's petition referred to Rutland District 2, which is how Castleton, Fair Haven, Hubbardton and West Haven were referred to when he was last up for re-election in 2010.
Castleton Town Clerk Katy Thornblade said late Thursday afternoon that she was waiting to hear whether the error would invalidate the petition, but that in any case Helm would have three days to submit a corrected petition. The petition requires 50 signatures.
Thornblade said Helm's fellow Republican incumbent in the two-seat district, William Canfield, got his petition in and nobody filed to challenge the duo.
Three of four wards are contested in the city.
With Democratic incumbent Gale Courcelle stepping aside, Republican Doug Gage and Democrat Sherri-Durgin Campbell are vying for the seat in Rutland District 5-4. Republican John Mattison will challenge Rep. Herb Russell, D-Rutland, in district 5-3 while Republican Larry Cupoli is challenging Rep. Margaret Andrews, D-Rutland, in district 5-2.
Rep. Peter Fagan, R-Rutland, is unopposed in district 5-1.
The surrounding towns will see a handful of races.
Rutland District 2, which includes Clarendon, Proctor, Wallingford, West Rutland and part of Tinmouth, has four candidates for its two house seats. Republican Tom Burditt and Democrat Dave Potter, the incumbents, are joined on the ticket by Ken Fredette, a Democrat, and Glen Eno, a Republican.
Rutland District 6, which includes Brandon, Pittsford and Sudbury, is looking at a three-way race for two seats. Incumbent Republican Charles "Butch" Shaw (who served in the single-seat Pittsford district before it was merged with Brandon's) is on the ballot with fellow Republican Seth Hopkins and Democrat Stephen Carr.
Joe Acinapura, the Republican who held Brandon's lone seat before the merger, is not running.
In Rutland-Windsor District 1, Democrat Anne Gallivan is challenging Rep. James Echkard, R-Chittenden. The district includes Chittenden, Killington, Mendon and Bridgewater.
Rep. John Malcolm, D-Pawlet, faces a challenge from independent Estella Leach in Rutland-Bennington District 1. The district also includes Middleton Springs, Wells, Rupert and part of Tinmouth.
Rutland County's three senators — Republicans Kevin Mullin and Margaret Flory and Democrat William Carris — are running unopposed. The Rutland County Senate district once again includes Brandon.
Elsewhere, the Shoreham town clerk reported nobody had filed to challenge independent representative Will Stevens in Addison-Rutland District 1, which also includes Benson, Orwell and Whiting. Rep. Patti Komline, R-Dorset, is unopposed in the Bennington-Rutland district, which also includes Danby, Landgrove, Mount Tabor and Peru.
Rep. Andrew Donaghy, R-Poultney, is unopposed in Rutland District 1, which also includes Ira. Rep. Sandy Haas, D-Rochester, is running unopposed in Windsor-Rutland District 1, which also includes Pittsfield, Bethel and Stockbridge.

December 31 is…
National Champagne Day
With the celebration of New Year's Eve comes the ever popular toast of the evening as flutes are raised containing the quintessential wine of celebration and good cheer…festive, bright, sparkling CHAMPAGNE! There are many sparkling wines on the market but there is only one champagne and it is produced exclusively within the Champagne region of France, from which it takes its name.
Source: awakenings2012.blogspot.com
There is a bit of controversy over this day's celebration. It is thought the reason everyone celebrates December 31st as National Champagne Day is because of the New Year's Eve saying – "It's Champagne Day!" It is champagne day as far as the New Year's celebration goes but as far as the National Holiday, it is more likely August 4.

Not everyone will be home during the holiday season. Places at the dinner table, seats in a favorite chair, wine or water glasses will remain empty, especially on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Distance, obligation, estrangement, illness, money, various reasons will prevent family members from gathering together. Among those not home are our military men and women serving our country on foreign shores or a veteran without a home which should never be.

Amid all the festiveness of the holiday season come times of remembrance… Christmas past, family and friends gone but not forgotten. There is an overwhelming sense of sadness that at the same time brings on smiles of the heart. The joy, the laughter, the silliness within the seriousness of the time. With Christmas, there is always music, special music. Some of the melodies have been passed down from generation to generation while new ones hit the scene with the changing times.

Lona Sandon, Nutrition & Dietetics, answeredYes, the skin of a sweet potato is edible. Eating the skin will add more nutrition to your plate such as fiber and potassium. Also baking them is a better choice than boiling. Boiling can cause water soluble nutrients to be lost.
Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin A. Vitamin A is important for keeping your eyes and skin healthy. Since vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin, adding some healthy fat such as olive oil to your sweet potato can help you absorb more vitamin A.
My favorite way to eat sweet potatoes are baked and topped with a drizzle of olive oil, chopped walnuts, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Jackie Newgent, Nutrition & Dietetics, answeredAbsolutely, sweet potato skins are edible. It's also good to know that most of the sweet potato nutrients are preserved when prepared and eaten with the skin.
Bonus tips, especially when eating skin-on produce:
Helpful? 2 people found this helpful.
- When possible, go organic.
- Gently scrub produce with a vegetable brush in cool water.
- Use a 100% natural fruit and vegetable wash (produce rinse) for even cleaner produce.
Vandana R. Sheth, Nutrition & Dietetics, answered on behalf of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
Absolutely! Just make sure that you have washed and scrubbed the sweet potato thoroughly before using it in recipes. Keeping the skin on helps retain the nutrients and enhances the nutritional quality. Check out this video for an easy and delicious snack or side dish.

ETA math teacher Brett Eberly recently spoke with faculty at St. Francis University (SFU) about project-based learning.
SFU desires to become a hub for students at New Tech Schools. ETA Principal Brady Mullet said there are seven tech schools in Northeast Indiana, and he said SFU is attempting to draw students from these schools to pursue higher education at its campus.
COLUMBIA CITY — While Thorncreek Township School may have looked the same on the outside as it did 20 years ago, the inside looked like a scene from a scary movie.
Walls were knocked down, copper wire was stripped, graffiti covered the walls and many items inside were looted.
When David Meinika purchased the old school in 2012, his goal was to clean up the property, which was becoming an eyesore and safety issue to the Thorncreek community. This month, crews began tearing down the building.

Tips for Home Based Business To Grow Home-based businesses person with great passion can only grow so much and enjoy the streams of income, right? YES, YOU ARE RIGHT! With a little creativity and great passion anyone can keep expanding your home business, EVEN without hiring employees or renting an office. Below are TOTAL seven tips for increasing revenue for your home business while possibly keeping it a one-man show (To reduce possible cost):Tip#1. Use technology. From scheduling newsletters and social-media dispatches to issuing blog-post notifications via email, automate as much as possibleTip# 2. Use Outsource. These days, freelance marketplaces such as Elance and vWorker.com make it easy -- and relatively inexpensive -- to find contractors for a wide variety of roles, from accountants to virtual secretaries. After all, there's no law that says you have to make official, full-time hires to grow.Tip#3. Watch for opportunities. Look for niche market and do not fight directly with the big guy. You can use "google trend" to find out what is the latest demanding words from your target market, it should give you some business ideas that related to your industry.Tip#4. Treat your business like a business. Don't neglect the back-office end of your business. For instance, consider using an online invoice system it's also more professional in the eyes of customers or clients. Keep regular business hours so clients can rely on you.Tip#5. Invest for growth. Yes, being home based can help reduce overhead, but you still need to put money into the business to keep it thriving. After all, you've got to spend money to make money, RIGHT? Start to think how to use little investment to grow your home based business. Tip#6. Don't forget your plan. Know your goals for the business and keep your focus on the steps you need to take to achieve those goals. Develop your marketing plan for at 5 years (short term plan) then 10 years (long term plan)Tip#7. Get out there. Don't give any excuse to never meet with clients in person. That's a mistake. Get out of that home-office cave -- you can build stronger bonds with clients in face-to-face meetings. Attend networking events to keep growing your rolodex and gain exposure to new ideas. we hope you find above tips usable for your home based business and if you are interested to know how to properly set up RIGHT home based business and make it grow, please read through the below author bio. thanks for reading. by PYK Education

Due to some improvements with how mod-specific options are displayed in-game a fair amount of popular mods will be incompatible with 1.1.1b. We recommend using the steam launch options "-disableMods" and "-noWorkshop" until the mod creators have done the necessary, albeit very small, changes. More info on what needs to be done can be found here.

Who says that a tall quarterback can't be successful in the NFL? It seems to go against logic that having height like the Denver Broncos' Brock Osweiler would be a detriment to his success as a quarterback.
Osweiler is 6'7" which makes it much easier for him to see over the defense compared to the average quarterback who normally stands about 6'2". On top of that, he has longer arms and a higher delivery which makes it harder for defensive linemen to bat down his passes.
But over the years, football "experts" have developed the notion that a tall quarterback can't be successful in the NFL. There really haven't been a lot of tall quarterbacks come through the league in recent years but some of the ones that have come through the league haven't been very successful.
But their lack of success can't be blamed on their height and it's asinine to say so. A lot of quarterbacks who are considered to be of ideal height don't make it in the league, what determines a quarterback's success is accuracy, arm strength, decision-making and most importantly, coaching.
So few quarterbacks that measure out at 6'6" or taller come through the NFL that it is hard to gauge why they don't succeed but looking at a few that have entered the league we can get a sense of why they don't do well.
Scott Mitchell is the most noticeable of the tall quarterbacks that has come through the league.
Mitchell started his career with the Miami Dolphins who haven't developed a good quarterback since Dan Marino ended his career. He then played for the Detroit Lions who have also been pretty poor at developing quarterbacks until recently acquiring Matthew Stafford.
John Navarre played for the Arizona Cardinals. Enough said.
JaMarcus Russell was a head case. He had athleticism and ability but he never put the time in to develop his game.
Derek Anderson was never considered an elite talent. He's bounced around the league as a career backup which pretty much sums up his skills.
The guy that is most often thought about when the conversation of unsuccessful tall quarterbacks comes about is 6'8" Dan McGuire.
He is the tallest quarterback to ever play in the league and was a first round draft pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 1991. In five seasons in the league he started a total of five games.
McGuire is the brother of former MLB slugger Mark McGuire. This may be another reason why people consider him such a disappointment seeing how successful his brother was as an athlete.
The Seahawks haven't had success with any of the quarterbacks they have drafted since joining the NFL in 1976 so McGuire's failure shouldn't be treated as some odd occurrence. On top of that, the quarterbacks they have drafted haven't had success playing for any other teams either.
So the notion that a guy can't play the quarterback position because he is too tall is ludicrous. It's simply unfounded and unsupported by logic similar to when NFL executives thought that black quarterbacks couldn't play the position.
Unfortunately for Osweiler that stereotype will continue to hang over his head until either he or some other tall quarterback proves it to be false. But with Osweiler playing behind Peyton Manning in Denver, it may be a while before he gets a chance to prove himself.
